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…
Pura Vida!

It completely met our needs and was a value. It's an older property, but it's in a great location if you don't want to be right in Tamarindo. The property manager was very responsive and helpful.

I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the property. Although it is older then the high tower construction in the neighborhood, it is certainly of better quality and finishes and only 10 units instead of 50 or more! Much more homey, and the pool is never crowded due to few units on property. Please come again to enjoy the location and value.
The condo was perfect for our group. We could walk to the beach and the location was close enough to walk to everything we wanted to do. The pool was a great addition and the gated community provided the additional safety we wanted. Great experience.

Tim. Glad you enjoyed the penthouse. Truly a rare retreat for all, with privacy galore and shared spaces for dining and games.
We had a wonderful stay! Easy to find, location was central to everything we wanted to do (surf, explore, eat, relax). The small patio pool was perfect for end of day transition as well. Maintenance company was responsive.

I am pleased to hear you enjoyed the condo. We ordered a new BBQ and will have it by end of week. Who would have thought replacing a Weber BBQ with another Weber would take time. I guess that is Pura Vida. CR is lovely and still working on easy shopping. We now have great roads, and some big stores, buy the real charm is the people and the beauty. Love the life. Thank you for the review. Playa Langosta is truly a special place and I am happy to hear you enjoyed the location and condo amenities.
The Crown Jewel of Tamarindo — Pure ParadiseI’ve stayed in luxury properties around the world, and this Tamarindo penthouse ranks among the very best. Three stunning bedrooms, three and a half spa-quality bathrooms, and a wraparound terrace where you can hear the Pacific surf as your constant, soothing soundtrack.The beach is just across the road — toes in warm sand in under two minutes. Yet Tamarindo’s vibrant city center is equally close, with incredible restaurants, lively bars, surf shops, and world-class activities like zip-lining, sportfishing, and wildlife tours all within easy walking distance. We never once needed a car.And then there’s Janet, our property manager — responsive, warm, and genuinely anticipating our every need. She answered messages at all hours and made every request feel effortless. Her attentiveness elevated the experience from wonderful to truly flawless.If you’re debating whether this penthouse is worth it — it is. Pura vida has never felt so good.

Oh my, that is the nicest review I have ever received, and except for the comments about me - I 100% AGREE. Thank you.
I did like the comments about me, as I do try. Please come again - you were a great guest. PURA VIDA
Warmest regards,

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.
Very nice comfortable and spacious condo across the street from the stunning Langosta Beach! Perfect neighborhood for our family to enjoy robust Tamarindo Beach and Town yet escape to a very quiet evening only a nice walk or quick golf cart ride away.This property was ideal for our family of 4, we will definitely book this again!
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.

Thank you for your review. Yes a golf cart is excellant to have and so fun. I am pleased to hear you loved the accomodations and amenities.
We just left our villa today, it was a perfect stay and a great location! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend! The house is very spacious and the outdoor patio as well. We loved the outdoor dipping pool on the patio. Daniela and Janet are very accommodating and prompt with their responses!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Janet’s condo. Everything about it was absolutely wonderful and Janet was a delightful host very quick to respond to any questions. We loved the beach, the swimming pool, and the local restaurants! Will definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed the stay. All rooms were very comfortable and there was plenty of room. The pool was very refreshing and enjoyable. Only had a little issue with elevator not working but was quickly remedied.
Nicely appointed and spacious condo. Easy access to the beach and a beautiful onsite pool. The Tamarindo area is excellent for dining and drinking and beach activities.

Thank you for the review. I welcome you back in the future.
The condo was wonderful, worked very well for our family of five. Location is close to beach and walkable to town, a real plus for New Year's Eve.
The staff was very helpful in replying to our requests for service.
We will try to stay here when we return!
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!
Large three bedroom home was amazing. So spacious. Perfect for large gathering. My family really enjoyed the outdoor patio to dine and socialize around the pool
Close to beach and terrific restaurants nearby

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.

About the host
Hosted by Janet
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.
