Why Guests Love It
As seasoned travelers ourselves, we designed Villa Encantada to be the kind of place we would want to stay with the comfort of home with adventure just waiting outside the front door.
Enchanted. Captivated. Beguiled. Bewitched.
That’s how guests describe Villa Encantada—and once you arrive, you’ll understand why.
The natural beauty of Costa Rica surrounds you here. Black and white sand beaches stretch for miles. Pelicans glide overhead. And each evening, the sun melts into the Pacific in a way that never feels routine—no matter how many times you see it.
This is Costa Rica at its most unforgettable.
The Location You Want (without or without the crowds)
Perfectly situated across the street from Playa Langosta, the Villa offers a quieter, more relaxed experience—while still being just a short walk from the vibrant energy of Tamarindo.
Spend your mornings walking along tree-lined shores. Your afternoons exploring shops, restaurants, or surf breaks. And your evenings exactly how you choose—out on the town or back home in your own private retreat.
Designed for Comfort, Space & Connection
With over 2,100 square feet of Moorish-inspired design, Villa Encantada blends indoor and outdoor living seamlessly.
Open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area filled with natural light Handcrafted hardwood details and Moroccan-inspired tiles throughout Fully equipped gourmet kitchen with modern appliances Comfortable living space with WiFi, flat screen TV, and Sonos sound system
Whether you're sharing a meal, playing games, or simply relaxing after a day in the sun, the space is designed to bring people together—without ever feeling crowded.
Your Own Private Pool Retreat
Surrounded by lush tropical gardens and 10-foot privacy walls, the villa’s oversized pool is one of its most loved features—and the largest in the development.
Swim when you want. Lounge where you want. No schedules. No crowds. No interruptions.
The pool area also features:
Shaded seating and dining areas Ornate fountain details A peaceful patio space ideal for yoga, reading, or simply doing nothing at all
Rest Easy, Wake Refreshed
Each of the villa’s three bedrooms is designed for comfort and privacy, all featuring en suite bathrooms and premium bedding.
Two spacious primary suites with queen beds and private outdoor spaces Flexible guest room with king or twin configuration Open-air elements and tropical garden touches in select bathrooms
At night, open the screened windows and let the ocean breeze and distant surf carry you into a restful sleep.
Adventure or Relaxation—You Choose
Spend your days surfing, snorkeling, ziplining through rainforest canopies, or simply unwinding on a sunset cruise. Or do nothing at all—just steps away, Playa Langosta offers miles of quiet shoreline.
We believe a great stay goes beyond just the property.
From your first inquiry to your final day, we’re committed to being responsive, helpful, and attentive—something our guests consistently mention in their reviews.

Airport transfers Excursions and tours Private chefs and in-villa services Restaurant recommendations and reservations

About the host
Hosted by Russ Gibson, Duncan Calhoun
We've lived in Upstate New York for more than 20 years. We have owned a top-rated Bed and Breakfast and boutique hotel. As travelers ourselves we know what is important for us when booking a vacation and have instilled that into all aspects of booking a stay at Villa Encantada. We love the local experience. We love discovering the local culture. Most importantly, as hosts, we love seeing how those unfamiliar with Costa Rica immediately fall in love with the Pura Vida lifestyle. It hooked us. It'll hook you too!
Why they chose this property
Having visited a few areas in Costa Rica both on the Caribbean and Pacific coasts we were amazed each time at the friendliness and welcoming nature of the Tico's (how people from Costa Rica refer to themselves). The Tamarindo/Playa Langosta has it all - fun shopping, top-notch restaurants, energetic nightlife and - most importantly - phenomenal beaches yet still holding on to it the charm that captivates visitors to Costa Rica: no Starbucks, McDonalds or shopping mall for miles.
The beach, Playa Langosta, is just across the street from the Villa. The calm and tranquility of the area was perfect (being able to hear the ocean from the Villa was a major selling point).l Being so close to the "action" in Tamarindo gave us the best of both worlds.
And Costa Rica is so EASY to get to from almost everywhere. The Liberia International Airport (LIR) was opened in 2012 and almost all U.S. airlines fly direct from their major hubs. Great weather. Friendly people. Easy to get to. Fantastic food. Easy on the wallet. Lots to do. Costa Rica has it all, and Playa Langosta was the ideal location.
What makes this property unique
There are SO many amazing places to rent in the area. We know that. Why do we think Villa Encantada is a fantastic choice? The location is exceptional; close enough to the activity in Tamarindo, but far enough away to enjoy the peace of Playa Langosta. The Villa has almost all of the amenities guests enjoy at home and expect on vacation. Your own private pool (no sharing with others); private bedrooms (no other guests making noise at all hours). Eat what you want. Drink what you want, listen to the music you want - and it's all included! Most importantly, we think, is our service. From the moment you book to the moment you check, our goal is to ensure you have the most amazing vacation. We pride ourselves on responding to all of our guests' questions quickly. Our property management team speedily responds to any unforeseen issues. We are available to our guests 24/7. Location. Amenities. Privacy. Service.
