Honeymoon stay

We stayed with Jolene and Gary for the 2nd part of our honeymoon. Their home was so beautiful and they were so welcoming that we knew we picked the correct place. Stunning property, close to everything but separate enough not to hear anything. Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful property and hosts, great location!

Jolene and Gary have created a wonderful space in their garden and rooms that they rent out. Everything was topped off with the most delicious breakfast before our busy day adventuring around town. They’re well-connected in the community and could give you recommendations to anything you might want to do. We loved our stay, the garden is amazing and the room was well equipped and super comfortable. we’d definitely visit here again!

Great B and B place!

Property is beautiful, breakfast and attention to detail are great- Jolene and Gary were very helpful and extremely accommodating!! We have never done a bed and breakfast before and determined that it is not for us- nothing to do with the place or Gary/Jolene- just not for us is all. We did however, appreciate what great care and attention to detail Gary and Jolene put into everything and how responsive they were to all of us as guests. The other guests were awesome and the room was awesome. Thank you for everything! Recommend it if a bed and breakfast is for you!

Beautiful property with wonderful hosts!

Wow! This property was so much more than we expected! Jolene and Gary are amazing hosts and their beautiful property reflects their authentic warm and generous spirits. We enjoyed everything from the quiet serenity of the saltwater pool to the gourmet breakfasts. Having been our first trip to Costa Rica we were very much appreciative of their sharing of local knowledge and recommendations of where and (more importantly) where not to go. The property is conveniently located within a short walking distance of Tamarindo Beach and countless restaurants. We plan to return annually for many years to come to stay at this beautiful property and visit our friends Jolene and Gary!!

Relaxing vacation

We loved our stay with Gary and Jolene. Our accomadations were exactly as shown in the pictures and they were beautiful and well looked after. Fresh flowers were in our suite which was a nice touch. Everything you wanted was provide. We loved our breakfasts. We were given the option to have as much privacy as we wanted or to be as social. Any need was taken care off. The area has beautiful beaches and lots of great places to eat. I loved having drinks on the beach while we enjoyed the sunset. Would love to go back. Highly recommend it.

OMG What a wonderful place! I would recommend it to my family, friends and everyone els!

The property was amazing! It was clean, beautiful and had so much local flavor and ambiance. Even better than the property were the hosts!! They were exceptional!! They greated us when we arrived and welcomed us with a tour of the property and a venture into town to pick up some groceries and dinner for the night. The next morning we were treated to an amazing breakfast provided by Maria. She did breakfast Monday to Friday and there were times that we didn’t need much more during the coarse of the day. They made sure we were comfortable and if there was anything wanting ( which there wasn’t ) they would look after it. Gary and Jolene made all our arrangements for drivers and tours, they recommended restaurants, dropped us off at the beach and accompanied us to a true local sopa. It was sad to say goodbye to such amazing “friends”. We hope to see them again on our next visit to Costa Rica

Great romantic vacation spot!

Jolene and Gary were like old friends! We enjoyed our conversations with them both and were surprised at how much we had in common. We came to Tamarindo to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. This was our second time in Tamarindo. Gary gave us some amazing recommendations for restaurants which were all fabulous. The short walk to the beach was easily accessible and there was a grocery store a block away. Maria was an amazing cook and her breakfasts were better than any meal you can get in a restaurant. There is no need to rent a car, everything is an easy walk. The accommodations were beautifully decorated with finds from Gary and Jolene’s travels and the bed was comfortable, shower had hot water, all appliances worked great and the bed was comfortable. I cant think of a single thing they can improve on. They arranged for our transport to and from the airport which was timely and comfortable. We will definitely be back!! We feel like family 😊

Best vacation ever!!!!

This vacation was to celebrate mine and my husband's 20 year anniversary and I have to say it was the perfect location to do so. First of all Jolene and Gary made this trip so special by handling everything from booking excursions to suggesting the best places to eat. They know their stuff!!!! Every place they sent us exceeded our expectations! I have to say even as many excursions as we took I still felt like this was a super relaxing trip!! The town is so laid back, no need for ANYTHING dressy! Jolene & Gary's home is gorgeous, extremely relaxing, in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to everything! And, Maria's breakfast are amazing!! These people are the most hospitable and accommodating we've ever experienced. We will be going back to stay with Jolene and Gary again and again in our future travels!!! Highly recommend this quiet retreat to any couple wanting a nice place to stay to spend quality romantic time together!! ----The Stegall's from Texas

Coin de paradis

La propriété est magnifique, l'espace extérieur est très grand et joliment aménagé. Les propriétaires Jolene et Gary sont très accueillants et charmants. Maria, qui prépare les petits déjeuners est excellente cuisinière et prépare quelque chose de différent chaque jour. Tout près de la plage, se marche bien mais, les rues n'étant pas pavées, c'est très poussiéreux. Ce fut un superbe séjour. Thank you Jolene and Gary for your kindness and hospitality.

Fantastic Property!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The owners are very good hosts and they have an awesome property in a great location! Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived! Our casita was beautiful and comfortable and we looked forward to the delicious breakfast every morning. We took the owners recommendations for tours and hired their recommended private driver. Worked out great and the driver even took us to our next location in Arenal. Very convenient. The owners were so friendly and took us to an amazing local restaurant for lunch. Tamarindo beach can be very busy and this location was a perfect relaxation spot after fun days exploring the beach and surrounding area. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jolene Clarke

Host profile image
Gary and I have lived in Tamarindo since 2000. We drove to Costa Rica with our son and another family from California for the adventure of a lifetime. Upon arriving to Costa Rica after our epic three month journey through Latin America, we started a new chapter in our lives. An unlikely couple, Gary is from New Jersey and me, a native Californian, it is our love of travel and adventure that keeps us happy and laughing. Prior to moving to Costa Rica, Gary spent his first career of 30 years in Medicine and I was a teacher and Interior Designer. Once we arrived in Tamarindo laying in hammocks all day for 3 months was just not enough. So, Gary ventured into a new career in real estate to spice things up for the next 10 years. Gary retired once again in 2012 as one of the busiest, most successful and well respected realtors in our area. In 2004, when our son Brooks left for college, we were lonely and thought it might be fun to rent out one of our casitas that we used only a couple times a year for family. Little did we know how much fun it would be and the friends we would make along the way. We invite you to come be our guest and see what life is like living in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. We will show you this lovely country and Tamarindo through our eyes and give you, in our humble opinion, the best places to eat and send you on the adventure tours that best fit your vacation style. This is our family business and Gary, Brooks and I take great pleasure and pride in giving you the best vacation we can deliver. Come see us, we would love to have you as our guest. Gary, Jolene and Brooks Clarke

Why they chose this property

We have been traveling to Costa Rica for over 30 years. From the moment I stepped off the plane on our first trip here I knew we would retire here one day. What we did not know was that the house we originally built to sell would turn out to be our dream home and fulfill my life long desire to have a guest house. We love Tamarindo for its great beaches, sunsets, wildlife, adventure activities and of course the vast array of restaurants. We have traveled all over the world and have never found a beach town we love more. Tamarindo has grown but is still one place in Costa Rica and the world where you can go, do and see it all in one place on your vacation. We are the perfect property for honeymooner's, babymoons executive surf trips and those looking for a quiet, relaxing or active getaway.

What makes this property unique

Our colonial architecture with furniture, art and accessories from our travels make for a warm, eclectic, welcoming environment. Plus, you can't beat the pool and garden areas to relax after a day at the beach or a canopy tour. You will love your 'Casitas for two,' that was decorated lovingly over the years for your pleasure and comfort. I love how our Villa has many different areas to enjoy, the pool, the rancho, the bistro area and the grand patio, something for everyone.
