It was our fifth time to CR. This was the first time we're staying at a villa since previous stays always at large hotels. We're in for a surprise. Rich's place was awesome. It's spacious, clean, modern appliances, charming and nicely decorated. It's very quiet and relaxing comparing to hotels we stayed at before. We felt very safe with 24 hours guarded gate. The villa has everything just like it's advertised, washer & dryer, BBQ, full kitchen, beach towels & chairs and more. The outdoor bathrooms were one of a kind thus very private. The swimming pool is right outside the back door and it is nice and clean. We had a rental SUV but didn't go very far since everything is close to the villa. The beach is about 5 minute walk, 15 minutes to downtown Tamarindo where all the shopping and restaurants are. I mostly used the car to buy grocery since it's far on the other side of Tamarindo. On a second day while we're out at the pool, a family of 8 howling monkeys including 2 babies came to give us a visit, hanging out on the banyan tree including two giant resident iguanas. It was a real treat since we didn't have to book any tour to see wild life. Rich the owner had told me about fishing at the beach so I came prepared with fishing tackles. Every morning there is great fishing from 7 to 10 am near the estuary (river meets ocean). I couldn't believe my eyes of all the boiling every morning of school fish attacking the bait fish. The school sometime comes in as close as 25 yards. I also was stunned to see a few jacks almost 2 feet long cruising in the wave...I met Jose one of the local resident and he was nice enough to show me how to surf and rock fishing. He also showed us the remaining leather back turtle tracks on the beach that came to lay eggs the night before. Amazing...the tracks must be almost 5-6 feet wide that looks like a car drove up to the sand. Jose estimated the turtle's weight was about 600 lbs. My 13 years old son is hooked on surfing. He took surfing lesson with Danny at Tamarindo main beach. The wave here is perfect for beginner and reminded me of Waikiki. There are so much more to write about our trip but the biggest disappointment was that we didn't stay long enough. I had only five days away from work. We had some problem with the wireless internet wasn't working. The problem was repaired and it was functioning again after we left. Who needs internet in CR any way? Suppose to enjoy the great outdoor...

The pictures on the website doesnt give this property justice its 10 times better,when we arrived there was a guard that helped us with our luggage to our unit. The construction granite,wood work and custom doors was very elegant it was equipped with everything from bbq to all the beach equipment you would need.The 2 bedrooms are designed for total privacy including tropical out door showers.The living room opens to a very nice pool and jacuzzi we had it all to ourselves.The development consists of 8 units so its very quiet and private.The unit came with lititure on excursions and the best restruants in town it made our vacation very easy to plan we had a great time and cant wait to come back thanks Rich for a special vacation.

For those familiar with the Tamarindo area, you know that it has become quite the bustling spot in the last several years. Still quirky and attractive to those of us that love Costa Rica and the Guanacaste, in particular, but perhaps a little too congested, so to speak. If you're looking for some of the quiet the old Tamarindo afforded, but want the access to the area and the growing number of amenities, Playa Langosta is the place to stay and this is the place on Playa Langosta to call home! Beautifully appointed, a friendly and accommodating staff and an owner that is bent on making certain you have the perfect holiday. We called Casa Delfin home for two weeks and only regret it wasn't longer. While the pictures provided via VRBO are tantalizing, the real deal is only better! Handsomely decorated with high-end finishes throughout. We're only counting the days until we return to Playa Langosta.

Thank you so much for everything! The place was amazing and everyone was very helpful! We arrived to torrential downpour which ended up being very relaxing and than never saw rain again! We were able to enjoy the pool, ocean, the town. Everything was lovely! Being able to cook dinner ourselves was a nice change of pace especially when you get bring the food/drinks up to the patio to watch the sunset! One place we did enjoy in town for dinner was the similarly named La Esquina diagonally from the Coastal Management office, delicious/yummy/quick food!

My wife, myself and another couple took a weeks vacation down to Costa Rica. We were so lucky to find this condo located within La Esquina at Playa Langosta. We arrived to the gated condo development and were greeted by the friendly staff. Once into the condo, we felt at home as all the necessary amenities were in place. The beds are comfortable, the furniture is beautiful and the bathrooms are out of this world! This condo seemed to be in near new condition; so its obviously meticulously maintained. There were tons of great restaurants, bars and beaches in a short walking distance. The pools just out from the door and felt like it was our own and frequently was. If you're looking for a clean, reasonable and fun place to say, this is it!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful condo! It was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook, BBQ, relax and enjoy. Rich was extremely helpful in preparing the condo to be very comfortable for us upon our arrival. We were traveling with our 11 month old daughter so being on the first floor made it super easy for us to use the pool with her - which she loved! The beaches are fabulous; Avellanas was our favourite (need a car to get there). Can't wait to come back! Pura Vida!

Our visit in Playa Langosta was picture perfect. The condo was very clean and has all the comforts of home and more. Rich was a great host and provided ample info to cover all the essentials needed for a relaxing and worry free experience. We did not have access to a car and enjoyed our walks to town both by way of the beach and the road to town. The description and photos match the property very well. The pool is exquisite and right off the patio. The garden bathroom was an interesting twist. The gas grill and kitchen appointments made it easy to enjoy meals on our own. While the beach in Tamarindo had a bit more activity we enjoyed the beach closest to the condo for it's beauty and better wave action. All in all we only wished we had time to extend our stay !

We just got back after spending Christmas week in Rich's beautiful condo in Tamarindo...and we will definitely be back. You won't be disappointed as everything in this condo is high end, from the pool to the furnishings to the fixtures, no money was spared here. Altho close enuf to walk to many restaurants, we rented a SUV at the LIberia airport and were happy we did so as it allowed us to see the exotic Costa Rican countryside. There were so many great things to do (sailing, ziplining, surfing) and so many wonderful delicious restaurants (Capitan Siuza, Beachfront, Nibbana, Pizzia La Baula, Seasons, and Dragon Fly) that the week flew by. Thanks Rich for making our holidays so memorable.

Quiet private 1st story villa that makes you feel like you're there alone. Gorgeous bathrooms, modern kitchen and every amenity available. Amazing Pool/ Jacuzzi right outside sliding doors. All pictures are accurate but better in person. Located in a small non-commercialized surf town. Plenty to do within, quaint bars & privately owned food vendors for all budgets and tastes. Locals are friendly and speak English very well, good food markets nearby. Great place to stay, definitely will come back.
