STOR VÆRDI - Stor Penthouse Villa - Trin til stranden - Privat dyppepool

This is a beautify appointed and furnished condo in a well maintained building. That said we had a few minor issues; 1) In some of the descriptive material the location is described as a 5 minute walk to Central Tamarindo - it is actually a 15 to 20 minute walk; 2) it is true that the beach is a 5 minute walk ... but the beach in that area is very rocky and unusable except for viewing the ocean and sunset; 3) When we arrived the private soaking tub on the deck was so low on water that it was not usable and there is no apparent way to fill it; 4) The unit has a music system with individually controllable speakers in all rooms - but there were no instructions and even though I am very technically competent - I could not figure out how to use it. - all TV is Spanish language including CNN; 5) The toilet in the master bath worked poorly when we arrived ... then failed. All that said - still an excellent rental.

This villa was perfect for 6 adults and 2 small children, 4 & 6 yrs. of age. The beach is just steps away, approx. 5 mins. The private dip pool on the patio was a great "kid sitter", kept them occupied for many hours. The "large" pool is also very nice, lots of hidden nooks for private conversation and several Jacuzzi areas. The kitchen is VERY well stocked with every size pot, pan, etc., that you could possibly need. We prepared many meals and never missed anything. The gas grill is also nice and in excellent condition. It grilled our tuna that we caught to perfection! There is a small grocery store just blocks away and several restaurants within easy walk. I would definitely recommend this property.

The place was beautiful and the property manager was super easy to get a hold of. They booked shuttles for us from the aiport and back. Super easy transaction.

We enjoyed the space and location of this property. The beach was an easy walk across the street. There was one beach chair provided at the house, a few more would have been nice. Our family of 5 was able to spread out in the condo, which was nice. While we didn't do much cooking other than breakfast, the kitchen was well equipped. We loved all of the outdoor spaces as well. It was our first time in this area and we didn't know how busy the town of Tamarindo was. We were glad the location of this condo was far enough away from the chaos but only about a 5 minute drive (or less) to get into town. We walked to the pizza place down the road as well as the sports bar around the corner where we were able to catch a Chiefs game-- both were great spots I would recommend. The wine/cheese shop down the road was great, we didn't eat there but they serve sandwiches and other light fare that looked good. The info in the book at the condo was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this condo. The only negative was having to find the property management place to check in and they have to physically inspect the unit before you leave, which was also a little odd and inconvenient but otherwise a great place to stay.
