The open air living with the pool courtyard made this one of our favorite places we have stayed. Nice to take a dip to cool off while staying connected to everyone. The location was perfect for us. A short walk into Tamarindo and an even shorter walk to the beach. We appreciated the neighborhood feel of Langosta. We will definitely be back.
It is a lovely home. There were a few things but I def recommend this home for a lovely stay near Tamarindo but not in the heart (this is a major plus).

Stayed 10 days in January 2026. Very nice having the pool, which we did use a lot. The casa is in need of general maintenance and a good deep cleaning. Housekeeping needs to be twice per week as the pool and living area get full of leaves and sand from the open air concept. Location is close to the beach and beautiful sunsets. We did enjoy our stay.

Hi David, thanks for your feedback and taking the time to leave a review. Regarding the regular maintenance : We are on it ! Thanks again for your visit - we look forward to host you again in the future .
Host was very receptive and answered any questions very quickly. Helped us book airport transfers. The house was a 5 minute easy walk to the Playa Langosta beach. Perfect for watching the sunset and long daily beach walks . There were many restaurants within a 5 minute walk and many more options in Tamarindo which is about a 15 minute walk. There is a small market to walk to for many basics and other larger markets nearby.
This house is absolutely amazing! The open-air living space was a new experience for us, and we loved it. Every moment spent in the house felt so special. We could sit in the covered living room and watch the monkeys and iguanas in the surrounding trees and marvel at the stars at night. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. Each bedroom suite had their own AC. And having a pool in the center of it all just made this place so cool. Both the owner and concierge were super responsive and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again!
Our stay in Casa Colonial was wonderful. The check-in process was easy and Angelique was so responsive to our questions. The house is in a nice neighborhood and close to a fantastic beach—Playa Langosta—and about a 15 minute, easy walk into Tamarindo. The configuration of the house is unique and we loved having a pool in the middle of it all. Overall, a wonderful stay. Thanks for having us!
Minutes to Tamarindo beach. It had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. The pool was a great relief from the heat. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
We loved our stay at Colonial Villa! It perfectly fit our family of five and was close to town and the beach. The private pool was a plus to refresh in with the hot weather and the AC in the bedrooms felt great.

nice house
is excellent, I loved the house was our best esperiencia, house very nice, well located, very clean, has everything we look for, so good
Absolutely loved our stay at the villa! Perfectly suited us as a family with 2 teens- lots of space and the pool was amazing. We were in it constantly swimming, floating and playing with the beach ball provided. Local beach was very close and Tamarindo main beach about 15 min walk to surfing. Hosts were excellent and super kind and helpful with everything, thank-you so much. We would book again for sure.
We loved our 2 week stay at the house and in Tamarindo. The house was even better than the pictures. We loved being able to jump in the pool and could chat with whoever was in the kitchen cooking. We all hated to say goodbye to our home away from home.
Beautiful property to stay just a short 10minute walk to the core of Tamarindo. The pictures are very accurate to the house. Beautiful pool in the middle, with great lounging spaces. The house is only a 2-minute walk to the beach.
Host was great and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend staying here!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during the high season. Playa Langosta is the perfect location as it’s a relaxing community within walking distance of the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo. The pool was an excellent place to begin and end the day. The bedrooms are roomy and each has a walk-in closet and a bathroom. The hosts were relaxed and easy to work with. My husband and I ended up staying in the downstairs bedroom as it has a king bed and we gave our teenager the upstairs bedroom with the queen bed. This worked well as then we didn’t need to navigate the stairs. We recommend this property for a family vacation.
Angelica was a friendly, superb communicator – she responded to our texts within minutes (sometimes seconds!) and went out of her way to ensure our stay was comfortable and everything went smoothly. She offered early check-in and late check-out to accommodate our flights, and there was a delicious pineapple and wine waiting for us upon our arrival. She brought over batteries for the TV remote and fixed the ignitor on the stove when it went on the fritz. 5/5!!
As far as the accommodation goes, it was beautiful. The rooms were spacious, and each bedroom had A/C and large ensuite bathrooms. The centre of the house was an indoor/outdoor area, with the pool in the centre - the pool was maintained several times over the course of our stay. The location was ideal. The house was only two blocks from the beach, and away from the noisy bustling streets of central Tamarindo. Yet everything was accessible, with a supermarcado just down the street and a variety of restaurant options only a few blocks away. One thing worth mentioning is that you are visiting Costa Rica, a land well known for its bugs. We quickly learned to use bug spray and keep the lights low at night as that helped keep the bugs at bay.
Highly recommend!
I want to say that this place was very clean and the hosts were very responsive when we had questions or issues. Our AC unit went out one night and they had people there within an hour of us reaching out. The reason for the okay rating really has to do with personal preferences on the way the house is laid out. While the open concept is very cool in theory, it was a little uncomfortable for a couple of reasons. The living room is open to the outside with no way to close it off so the mosquitos ate us alive every night we tried to hang out. I realize that AC is an American comfort, but being in the living room in the heat, humidity, and mosquitos made family members miserable. It was also very uncomfortable the couple of times it rained really hard when the water flooded both the living room and the kitchen- those tiles become slippery! One night it rained so hard that the pool overflowed and flowed right into the bedroom and soaked everything on the floor. The house does have a great location though! Quick to the beach and restaurants! We really wanted to love this house, but unfortunately, did not.

Sorry for your experience , we have never had this type of review before .
Next time you book a fully closed airconditioning place . We never had people say the water got into the bedroom so that’s new to us after 15 year of hosting . Luckily the other 500 clients that have stayed over the years never had this bad of an experience. Thank you again for your visit and safe travels back .
