About this property

Your Private Tropical Oasis for 6, with pool and only 100 yards to the Beach!

Welcome to Casa de las Olas, an incredible tropical paradise just 100 yards to the beach!

For the first time ever, in 2024 we began to rent the entire property as a whole. What that means for you is that, for groups up to 6 you will have the primary Residence (the Casa) and the attached Casita. The Casa is about 1,700 square feet and includes two bedrooms; two bathrooms (one with a full bathtub, the other with a shower); full kitchen; living room; dining area; TV; a working desk area; Air Conditioning in all spaces; a front terrace with hammocks and fans; and is just steps away from either the beach or the wonderful pool in the rear yard. The Casita is attached to the Casa and is located above the garage. The Casita is a large studio of approximately 700 square feet, with a full bath; a queen bed; a full kitchen; a living room area with TV; a desk / office area; air conditioning; a wonderful terrace; hammocks; and, a really cool vibe. Both the Casa and the Casita have their own separate private outdoor showers that are surrounded by beautiful gardens.

In 2022 we undertook a major renovation project, which was building a backyard paradise that includes lush gardens, a pool, rancho/kitchenette, and private outdoor showers, and lounging spaces for all to enjoy.

So if you are looking for an Amazing, Beautiful, Fun, Private, well-appointed tropical getaway, we have exactly what you’re looking for. At Casa de las Olas, we believe that when you arrive you "Drop In To Life" !

Located midway between Tamarindo and Langosta, Casa de las Olas is tucked away from the bustle of town in a quiet, premier location that’s just 100 yards to the sand of the safest swimming beach in the area, and a short walk from a few of the finest restaurants in Tamarindo/Langosta. "Downtown" is a beautiful 10 minute walk down the beach, and Langosta's friendly restaurants & bars, and stunning sunsets and beaches are equally close.

We recognize that when you are looking for a vacation rental, you have many choices. In sharing our home with you, our goal is to provide you with a memorable tropical experience.

If you prefer a private setting, you can begin to understand why this property is one of the most sought after properties in the Tamarindo area. Whether it’s surfing, fishing, diving, sitting in the pool, snorkeling, exploring, reading, or just plain old relaxing in the hammock, let Casa de las Olas be your tropical oasis.

OUR TEAM STRIVES FOR EXCELLENCE
Besides providing excellent Customer Service, we know that many of you want your vacation to be more than just a time away, you want an Experience that builds memories for Life. Allow us to assist you in arranging sports fishing, surfing, an endless array of tours, snorkeling, scuba diving, SUPing, Day Spas, or any other experiential travel you may have a desire to have.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING REVIEWS:
Casa de las Olas has been listed on VRBO since 2006. Even though VRBO has changed dramatically over the years obviously, we pay attention to our Guests throughout. As the Owners and the ones who are ultimately responsible for providing a property to you in a manner that is accurately represented on this site, we'd like to express the following - we cannot adequately share with you how very Honored and Grateful our entire Team is to have received so many wonderful and incredible Reviews. As a Guest, you may or may not know how difficult receiving top rated Reviews can be because, at times, it is so easy for certain types of individuals to find items or issues to fault (there's a lot of "moving parts" in attempting to maintain a House in the tropics). We realize that there might be some point in the future where we don't hit the mark with a particular Guest (hopefully, not) but, please know that our Team is extremely Grateful and Humbled for all of the past Reviews that have supported our efforts. Thank You so very much for believing in and supporting us! You have our commitment and our assurances to always strive for Excellence in all that we do.

PLEASE NOTE: This a very popular property historically - we are very blessed to have many returning Guests - Thank you !!!

COVID-19:
We have adopted, and the entire Staff at Casa de las Olas has been trained in, the "UltraClean" protocol which was originally developed in Australia and is now an international standard for cleaning holiday rental units. Should you wish to receive additional information regarding the "Ultra Clean" protocol, just reach out and we will share this with you. Additionally, should you wish to not have the cleaning service, which is normally included, please let us know ahead of time so that we can arrange that with our incredible Maid.

About the host

Hosted by R. C. Grencik

Host profile image
I'm an old California "Surf Rat" who has spent a vast majority of my time traveling the globe looking for waves. In 2009 I retired from the Fire Service. Like everyone, I've had some challenges, but I keep a smile on my face most of the time and laugh at myself fairly often.
I still love surfing, chasing waves, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and sharing Casa de las Olas with old and new friends alike!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property in 1987, which was long before Tamarindo was "discovered," and literally, there was nothing here!

I built the home between 1992 and 2000. Since I was intimately involved in all phases of the construction, and Tamarindo was quite primitive at the time, I had to bring down most of the materials i.e., plumbing, electrical, etc. in Rubbermaid plastic bins. Even though I have been active in my life, the construction and logistics of building this home was one of the most challenging things I've ever done.

Since I've spent a fair bit of my time chasing waves in the backyards of the world, I knew that one day I wanted to retire in the Tropics and Tamarindo seemed to be a good place. Although it's changed dramatically over the years, Tamarindo is still a great place to kick back and enjoy life.

In 2022, Susan and I took on the grand project of remodeling the backyard into a real tropical paradise that includes a pool, tropical garden, large rancho, and lounging spaces. We LOVE our backyard paradise and hope you and your family and friends will too!

What makes this property unique

Casa de las Olas is in one of the best locations and neighborhoods to stay in Tamarindo. It is a traditional Costa Rican style home that prioritizes the beauty of simplicity and incorporating outdoor spaces into living. We call it's style "Tico-Eclectic" because it is a combination of traditional local style and surfer style, which includes beautiful and comfortable amenities inside and out.
Casa de las Olas is a very short walk to the a beautiful beach, with a private lounging pool and tropical paradise in the backyard. Which includes a rancho/BBQ-kitchenette and dining space, sun loungers, tropical gardens, hammock, WIFI, toilet, and outdoor tropical showers. For your beach adventures, guests have the use of two surfboards, two boogie boards, two bicycles, and a Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP).
Casa de las Olas is well appointed with all of the modern indoor/outdoor conveniences and comforts. So no matter what you prefer, whether it's surfing, lounging in the pool, or laying in the hammock, Casa de las Olas is a special place people love and continue to return.
