About Tamara Philip
We live in the Pacific Northwest and love it...except the long wet and cold winters get very long, wet and cold. We were thinking about eventually finding a place to escape the winter weather when Casa de Sol found us! Even though this idea was 10 years off, we knew we would never find a place like Casa de Sol.
Since we are both still working and have a young family we decided to offer it as a vacation rental for now and eventually make it our 3-6 month home.
Tamara Philip purchased this house in 2005

Great Location and People
The house is located right on the lake. Rooms are large and ther are three with views to the lake. All was clean and the house was well stocked with everything you will need.
We had a very restful visit that was made even better by the great staff that attends to the house.
We only wish that we could have stayed longer. Next time.
Idyllic stay
A group of five family members (adults) stayed her in March for 10 days. We couldn't have asked for more comfortable, gorgeous house to base ourselves in. The private infinity pool was amazing, we spent many hours relaxing in it or the adjoining covered patio - the hammocks were great. The staff were very efficient, non-intrusive and sweet. It was very windy most of the time we were there, and we didn't notice any mosquitoes at all - just little gnats that would come in the windows at night if the light was left on. The A/C in the bedrooms was wonderful at night. One caveat - I would not be comfortable having small children here, there were drop offs and many places they could fall from. But for adults and older kids, it was so much fun!
Relaxing , amazing , paradise
The house is amazing,clean etc .
Location is amazing . We stayed two nights with a group of 8.
We made this our home base and visit Granada and masaya from here.
Staff was amazing as well
I will be back for sure
We all loved it
Amazing!
The Casa Sol was definitely even better than the pictures. The house staff was ever-present and always accommodating. The owner Tamara was very responsive and took special care to have the house set up perfectly for our group. This is probably the most well taken care of I've ever been during a vacation. I can't recommend this place enough.
Incredible Home and People. Fantastic Experience!
Stayed in this incredible home at Laguna de Apoyo from Jan 20-22, 2017 and everything was fabulous. The house is very well maintained and super clean. The people working at the house were very friendly, accommodating and provided excellent customer service. Communication with owner (Tamara) was prompt and pleasant. I would highly recommend Casa del Sol to anyone interested. I will certainly come back and stay at this beautiful home again. Thanks so much for everything,
Beyond Expectations
Let me start by saying that Tamara goes above and beyond. The home is perfect and just as beautiful and scenic, or even more beautiful, than the photos! I went with my family last week and we have 2 children, a 1yr old and 3 yr old. Tamara went out of her way to get us a high chair and crib!!! She really is so helpful and just beyond amazing!
I loved that there were 2 kayaks and pool toys and life jackets. Carlos and the cook and staff are always on site. For an extra charge you can get a cook and laundry service. Only cons I would say is that to run AC all day is a small fee, we needed more towels for pool and showering and our small car struggled up the driveway, which we were warned beforehand so get 4w or park up on top.
My other regret is not staying at the home my entire stay! Just amazing and breath taking and centrally located. I will surely stay again!!!
