About this property

Large Penthouse Villa - rare 3 bedroom with private decks, private dipping pool.

Located in Playa Langosta, a short distance south of Tamarindo. The beautiful Spanish style villas at La Esquina are only 100 meters from the beach. Our villa welcomes you as you enter a naturally lush landscaped complex with a refreshing pool and a private dipping pool on our spacious private terrace.
The entire complex, including the large parking area, is walled, and gated with community guard patrol service. La Esquina has beautifully maintained lush grounds that attracts lots of birds for viewing.

La Esquina penthouse has 3000 spacious square feet of indoor/outdoor living. Located on the top/penthouse/3rd floor level(with elevator); the penthouse takes up the entire third floor. Complete with a private open air/covered dining patio that seats 12+ along with your own private dipping pool right on the private oversized terrace for perfect indoor/outdoor living..

This gorgeous stucco complex has the most beautiful pool in Playa Langosta or Tamarindo - 90 foot garden swimming pool complete with lush tropical plants surrounding, lounge chairs and an outdoor luxury shower. Your condo is professionally furnished, offering 3 large ensuite bedrooms, a large great room for relaxing, a private terrace off of each bedroom with comfy chairs for reading/napping. It also offers a large, open, teak and well equipped, granite kitchen complete with an adjacent BBQ terrace. Barbeque terrace also has table and chairs for four persons, fan and light.This villa also has a laundry room with washer and dryer, and 3.5 full-sized tiled bathrooms. Very fast internet that you can even receive WIFI at the large pool downstairs,

The open dining room area will comfortably seat 8 adults with additional dining area off of the large terrace adjacent to the great room(where you can sit 8 more!). There is also and additional open air patio on the roof only one flight above. You and your guests can take in the stunning views of the Playa Langosta coastline and spectacular sunsets from the roof deck.

Extensive use of beautiful teak wood adorn all the cabinetry complemented by locally quarried natural stone flooring and beautiful Italian granite counter tops throughout.

Each bedroom room has a coffered ceiling fan, and control for volume of music. Living room also has ceiling fans. Great air conditioning.

Master bedroom has private master deck for reading, lounging. One guestroom has private balcony, other guestroom opens to grand balcony. Guestrooms of similar size with identical large bathrooms.

Open the main entrance door to the penthouse and walk right up a half flight of stairs to the roof deck and enjoy the sunset or have breakfast while watching the waves. 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!

Nice property. The property management company was very responsive to fix the a/c the morning after we arrived. Property is in a convenient and quiet location.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Jul, 2026
I am glad you enjoyed the property, it is indeed quiet save for birds and occasional howler monkeys. Thank you for understanding the AC, it was running before your check in, but as occasionally happens in CR there was a power surge that caused the AC to stop running. I do have a great responsive management team!

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.

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.

Great place to stay!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Janet

Host profile image
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.
