About this property

INTIMATE VILLA WITH POOL MINUTES TO TAMARINDO AND 8 UNIQUELY AMAZING BEACHES

Welcome to our truly unique and one of a kind Costa Rican Villa retreat a perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Located approximately 10 minutes North of Tamarindo which is a vibrant surf town, where you and your family can enjoy many beachfront Restaurants, Shops, Spa's and a fun night life. We are a short drive or UBER to more than 8 of the best beaches along the "Gold Coast" of Guanacaste. Great for Surfing, Snorkeling, Kayaking, Paddle boarding or just relaxing. We chose this area because we love the town of Tamarindo and all of the hustle and bustle but we didn't want to live in the middle of it. We preferred living in a quiet central location with a short and easy drive to all of the amazing beaches and activities. We loved the jungle feel on this tree covered property. When you stay at our Villa, you will also get Dominic, he can be your personal concierge while in Costa Rica. Dominic speaks several languages and has extensive local contacts for rental cars, Volcano adventures, fishing & Sailing boats, surfing lessons and virtually anything else you need or might want to do. Dominic has saved our guest hundreds of dollars when booking excursions. Our goal is to make this trip as memorable and as safe possible. Perfect for artist, couples, small families or a few close friends. Dipping pool with Ranchetta for additional space to chill. Public transportation directly in front of our villa including UBER now, available should you decide not to rent a vehicle. Proud to be a Premier Partner Host. Our home is strictly non-smoking non-vaping. We welcome are Canadian friends..
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect house. Great ambiance. Clean. Lovely all around. Best stocked with towels than any other VRBO we rented. Great host. Fonz was very helpful and gave us great tips on things to do and places to enjoy. We were within 15 minutes or so many gorgeous beaches. Playa Tamarindo, Playa Flamingo, Playa Conchal, Playa Grande, Playa Cenca,Playa Real, Playa Mina and many others. The airport is about 1 hr 20 mins away. We had a car. There are many great places to eat locally not just in Tamarindo. Overall great stay. Would def come back. Thank you!!

Wow, that sums it up the host is great, property is nice with no issues. Star of the show is Pantera the dog. Honorable mentions daily morning visits by the group of howler monkeys, iguanas and even bats hanging out in the balcony. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and this property and its host Domonic were exactly what we were looking for in a low key relax vacation, we will be back.

That was a second stay in Casa Castaway and loved every single day. The owner is very attentive of his guests and thought of everything to make our stay perfect. The property manager and cleaning lady are just leaving beside and that makes a huge difference to have them on site. In the future, l will look for the same so in case we need something, it is easy to get it. This villa has everything one family needs, from surf boards, amenities, kitchen stuff, etc.I strongly recommend this host and this villa!

Great spot to stay in CR

Wow, we really felt like we were in the perfect spot—both isolated and connected! Just a quick 15-minute drive from the lively coast, our family had the chance to unwind and enjoy the sounds of monkeys nearby. The house was super cozy and had everything we could possibly need. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Fonz

Host profile image
From Breckenridge Colorado and avid outdoor enthusiast.

Why they chose this property

We had the option to purchase anywhere around Tamarindo and chose this area because we love the town of Tamarindo and all of the hustle and bustle but we didn't want to live in the middle of it. We preferred living in a central location with a short and easy drive to all of the amazing beaches and activities. We wanted to be close to the private schools and close to shopping in addition to being close to all of the amazing beaches.

What makes this property unique

A quiet and centralized location to many different beaches and activities. From our door step you can see monkeys, flocks of parrots and parakeets, iguanas and at night, fire flies.
