Quiet paradise close to town
We stayed here twice (we were at another house for 5 days in between) in November 2022 and loved it. I really wanted to give the house 5 stars but a variety of minor imperfections led me to hold at 4. First the positive. The backyard is completely enclosed, very private, beautifully landscaped, and features a rather large pool for a property of this size and cost. There's a small covered seating areas with space for several people. The location is excellent, just far enough from downtown to be quiet most of the time, yet an easy walk to anywhere. We were treated to a group of more than 20 howler monkeys in a nearby tree the last day of our stay. The kitchen/dining/living area are good size and well equipped. Internet was fast and reliable. A/C worked a bit too well (I found myself raising the temperature or turning it off). There is nothing I would rate as a negative, but there were some minor maintenance or age/wear issues I noticed, none of which impacted our stay at all. For example, the washer/dryer were a bit rusty, but worked fine. There was a small water leak in the wall of the primary bedroom, but this was fixed before our second stay. A cabinet door broke, but this was also fixed quickly. There was no curtain on the window in the main bedroom bathroom, though it is located in a private spot on the side of the house. The property management was attentive and responsive. I'd definitely consider staying here again if we go back to Tamarindo.
