About this property

Large Penthouse Villa - rare 3 bedroom with private decks, private dipping pool.

Located in Playa Langosta, a short distance south of Tamarindo. The beautiful Spanish style villas at La Esquina are only 100 meters from the beach. Our villa welcomes you as you enter a naturally lush landscaped complex with a refreshing pool and a private dipping pool on our spacious private terrace.
The entire complex, including the large parking area, is walled, and gated with community guard patrol service. La Esquina has beautifully maintained lush grounds that attracts lots of birds for viewing.

La Esquina penthouse has 3000 spacious square feet of indoor/outdoor living. Located on the top/penthouse/3rd floor level(with elevator); the penthouse takes up the entire third floor. Complete with a private open air/covered dining patio that seats 12+ along with your own private dipping pool right on the private oversized terrace for perfect indoor/outdoor living..

This gorgeous stucco complex has the most beautiful pool in Playa Langosta or Tamarindo - 90 foot garden swimming pool complete with lush tropical plants surrounding, lounge chairs and an outdoor luxury shower. Your condo is professionally furnished, offering 3 large ensuite bedrooms, a large great room for relaxing, a private terrace off of each bedroom with comfy chairs for reading/napping. It also offers a large, open, teak and well equipped, granite kitchen complete with an adjacent BBQ terrace. Barbeque terrace also has table and chairs for four persons, fan and light.This villa also has a laundry room with washer and dryer, and 3.5 full-sized tiled bathrooms. Very fast internet that you can even receive WIFI at the large pool downstairs,

The open dining room area will comfortably seat 8 adults with additional dining area off of the large terrace adjacent to the great room(where you can sit 8 more!). There is also and additional open air patio on the roof only one flight above. You and your guests can take in the stunning views of the Playa Langosta coastline and spectacular sunsets from the roof deck.

Extensive use of beautiful teak wood adorn all the cabinetry complemented by locally quarried natural stone flooring and beautiful Italian granite counter tops throughout.

Each bedroom room has a coffered ceiling fan, and control for volume of music. Living room also has ceiling fans. Great air conditioning.

Master bedroom has private master deck for reading, lounging. One guestroom has private balcony, other guestroom opens to grand balcony. Guestrooms of similar size with identical large bathrooms.

Open the main entrance door to the penthouse and walk right up a half flight of stairs to the roof deck and enjoy the sunset or have breakfast while watching the waves. The common roof deck hosts views spanning over Langosta beach and the mountains and is constantly visited by the ocean breezes year round.

The beach is a short stroll down (about 100 meters) a garden path that you enter from across the street, and through a municipal park, and is great for strolling, tide pooling or walking to the lively town of Tamarindo. Playa Langosta is a quiet upscale residential community, but only a 15-20 minute beach walk (or five minute ride) to the lively town of Tamarindo known for its fabulous surfing, dining, shopping and fun. There is also a great surfing beach at Playa Langosta that is about a 5-10 minute walk from the condo. You can walk to Tamarindo from Playa Langosta on the Beach at low tide, or on road at all times.

Absolutely the best beach club ever is 5 minutes away by car, with outstanding food, beach tables, equipment to rent (kayaks, etc.) and surf lessons.

La Esquina is located in a quiet, safe, and low-density residential neighborhood of oceanfront estates and elegant condos. There’s green space across the street, providing a home to howler monkeys, tropical birds, and iguanas, and a canopied park with a winding path to the white-sand beach of the Pacific Ocean, only 100 meters from the condo. Just follow the sound of the surf…

Fantastic stay

The property is perfect, off the main huddle of Tamarindo but a short 15 moon morning walk to fresh bread in the morning. It was comfort and very well equipped. Would go back anytime.

Great place to stay!

Loved our accommodations! Having a golf cart was definitely important for getting around but we appreciated being a bit removed from the busyness of downtown Tamarindo. Nice to have a few restaurant options close by, as well as the market.

Family Stay in Tamarindo

This lovely villa was perfect for our family of 5 adults. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was well outfitted. Spacious living area and delightful porches. Felt very safe and secure. Would have appreciated better water pressure in the shower, but I also understand we were visiting a country that is working hard to control water usage. We would go back to this property any chance we had!

This was the second year we stayed at Janet’s amazing property. The interior is spacious and clean, as is the pool outside. Beautifully maintained and a close walk to the beach and all amenities. We love our stay at Janet’s property where we get to watch the monkeys and beautiful birds in this wonderful landscape. Highly recommend this home away from.

Great location close to Tamarindo

We enjoyed being close to the restaurants and shops in Tamarindo but away from the crowds. Langosta beach is beautiful and a very short walk away. Howler monkeys came past the condo daily. The local restaurants in Playa Langosta are all fantastic. Although Tamarindo is certainly walking distance, the heat made it difficult so renting a golf cart was very handy.

Beautiful 3 bedroom Condo!!

Stop looking for anywhere else to stay in Tamarindo. This condo was beyond beautiful and even better than the photos. It is in an area outside of Tamarindo on Playa Langosta that is charming and away from the hustle of the great surf town. This condo slept our family of 5, and allowed us to be comfortable and cooking in the gourmet kitchen. The owners were beyond helpful and the staff on site were very kind.

Vacation with friends

This property was wonderful. Walking distance to a beach with a lovely sunset. Felt safe as it had a locking gate and guards at night. Town is walkable but it’s a bit of a hike but there was a lot of cute restaurants that were close. The space was big and had plenty of room to spread out. Nice kitchen to cook in. Outside area with dipping pool. This was perfect place for a larger group like ours.

Fantastic Langosta Penthouse

What a wonderful vacation home! Our 3-generation family of 6 especially loved the size and arrangement of the rooms, the refreshing plunge pool on the deck, and the stunning sunset views from the roof. The property is well-tended and perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood just south of busy Tamarindo. We enjoyed walks on both beaches, swims in the lovely pool, and many delicious meals in the neighborhood and in town. Thank you, Janet and Daniela, for your good suggestions and just the right amount of help. We hope to return!

About the host

Hosted by Janet

Host profile image
We live in the San Francisco Bay Area and are outdoor enthusiasts.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 2006 after taking several trips to Costa Rica and falling in love with this eco-friendly(and friendly) country. We LOVE Playa Langosta because it is close to EVERYTHING but quiet(but not dead)! We love this small complex for it Moorish architectural influence and it is elegant but understated

What makes this property unique

Playa Langosta offer several very good restaurants, bars, a grocery store and small quaint hotels that have cocktails and dining. All of these are in walking distance to the condo. There is a great beach 100 meters from the condo that you can tide pool in low tide and the shoreline is just stunning...for those who surf, there is a great break to the south of the condo (about a 5-10 minute walk). This condo offers fantastic indoor/outdoor living at its best. every room has a terrace and there are sturdy cushioned lounge chairs on the main balcony and cushy reading chairs on the other 2 balconies. My guess is you will fall in love with this place too.
