This place is beautiful! Great location about 10 mins from the main strip. Plenty of space, well stocked, quality furnishings, great court yard, great appliances and bbq. The pool is clean and great size. A little cool but when it’s rippin hot out you need it. The bedrooms have their own bathrooms and showers. The beds are comfortable and everything is super clean. Check in to check out was seamless. Very very professional. I would highly recommend.

The host was very welcoming and the home matched the pictures. We did however have an issue with locking the master bedroom door which is an outside door that could not be resolved during our short stay. A bathroom outlet was tripped using just the hairdryer. A sheet in the middle room was stained upon our arrival and the two guests washed the sheet and the stain did come out. The pool was refreshing and well maintained.

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you felt welcomed, that the home matched the listing photos, and that you enjoyed the pool during your stay.
Regarding the master bedroom door lock, we would like to clarify that during your stay we reached out to you twice in order to coordinate a solution, but unfortunately we did not receive a response. We always take our guests’ concerns very seriously and do our best to address any issues as quickly as possible when we are able to coordinate access.
Concerning the bathroom outlet, after your departure our maintenance team performed several tests, including running two hairdryers simultaneously in two different bathrooms, without any issues. Based on these tests, we believe the outlet may have tripped due to extended use of multiple hairdryers at the same time across the bathrooms. That said, we truly regret any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay.
As for the stained sheet, this was not reported to us during your stay. Had we been notified, we would have immediately taken action with our housekeeping team. Cleanliness is a top priority for us, and we take these matters very seriously.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving the experience for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again.
Beautiful home. Very close to everything we needed. The host was extremely accommodating and the concierge service was a wonderful convenience as well!
The house was lovely and very clean.The owner was very responsive in our needs. Overall, a good experience.

Thank you so much for your review and kind words! We're truly happy to hear that you found the house wonderful and enjoyed your stay. We understand that getting to downtown Tamarindo might feel a bit inconvenient to some, but in reality, we're just 8 minutes away by car —with easy access to shops, grocery stores, and restaurants. The best part is that we’re not surrounded by the noise or nightlife of the center, so our guests get the best of both worlds: peaceful rest and relaxation at the house, and the exciting Tamarindo vibe whenever they feel like it. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Property manager had amazing communication. House looks exactly as pictured. Our family of 5 had plenty of room and AC in each room worked very well. The house is amazing. There are dogs that do bark near the house (I think each review says this) but out of property owners control. Overall fantastic house.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Kara! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the house and found everything as pictured. We’re especially glad the space and A/C worked well for everyone —we want all our guests to feel comfortable and at home.
Thank you also for understanding that the nearby dogs are outside our control, but we truly appreciate your perspective. We're always working to ensure a peaceful and enjoyable environment for our guests.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! Pura vida !!
We had a great stay at Casa Mare Blu. House was stocked with everything you would need. Great location from beautiful beaches. We loved having a pool too cool of in the afternoons. We felt very safe and would start there again.
The house was great and looked like it did in the pictures! Two negatives that we had while staying there were the constant barking from neighbouring dogs. For the light sleepers in our family, this was a problem! The other negative would be the temperature of the pool. I’m assuming it’s because it’s well shaded because it was 33 to 35 degrees Celsius while we were there.

Dear Veronique,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the house and that it met your expectations based on the pictures.
Regarding the noise from the dogs, our condominium and neighborhood are generally very quiet, and we were not aware of this situation. We truly appreciate your feedback and will take the necessary steps to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
As for the pool, since it has a unique design, it receives sunlight most of the year. However, at certain times of the year, it may have more shade, which can affect the water temperature. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay.
Thank you again for visiting. We would love to welcome you back in the future and ensure you have an even more pleasant experience.
Best regards,
Ana
Our stay at this beach house was absolutely incredible! The stunning location close to the beaches of Tamarindo and Avellanas in Guanacaste, combined with the spectacular pool, created the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable vacation.
We enjoyed a delightful evening with friends, grilling a delicious barbecue by the pool, and later, gathering around a cozy bonfire to roast marshmallows.
The luxury amenities of the house exceeded our expectations, it was even more charming than the pictures. The host was exceptionally welcoming and provided fantastic local tips, making our stay truly memorable. This experience was a true paradise, and we can't wait to return for another memorable getaway!
Casa Mare Blu was the ideal accommodation for our small family reunion which included both seniors and a teenager. We all had comfortable, private rooms with AC plus plenty of hang out space to be together.
The pool is kept spotless and the lights are lovely at night time. We thoroughly enjoyed the excellent BBQ facilities & dedicated wine fridge.
Tamarindo is an easy 10 minute drive away as are grocery stores.
Ana, the host, was super easy and prompt to communicate with, answering any queries we had within minutes.
The neighbourhood is quiet and the property is a welcome comfort to come home to after a day of exploring.
Look and listen out for the Trogons and the Magpie Jays in the trees around the property in the mornings!

Exceptionally Clean Home with Friendly & Responsive Host!
We had a great stay overall! The property was super clean, with no bugs, and the A/C units worked perfectly throughout the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils and supplies we needed, and the pool was spotless and the perfect temperature. The gated community felt very safe, with a security guard on duty overnight, who even helped us change a flat tire. The house host was also extremely friendly, helpful, and responsive.There were a few minor drawbacks and while none of these were deal breakers for us, they are minor details that other guests may want to be aware of when booking: The room locks could be a nuisance, with individual keys that often got stuck. The road to the house is unpaved, so we wouldn’t recommend bringing a car unless it has high clearance. The washer didn’t clean clothes well, the mattress in the master bedroom was quite firm, and the neighborhood dogs barked frequently, especially at night.Overall we had a wonderful stay and we'd absolutely recommend this place to others.

Thank you for your detailed review! We’re happy to hear that you had a great stay. We're also glad you felt safe in the gated community and that our security team and hosting service were helpful and responsive. We truly appreciate your feedback about the minor issues you encountered. Regarding the door lock, we were happy to resolve it immediately after you informed us, it was simply a matter of pressing a button. Unfortunately, the issue with the washing machine was not communicated to us during your stay; had we known, we would have gladly guided you through its proper use, as it functions correctly when used as instructed. As for the mattress in the master bedroom, we understand that comfort is a very personal preference. For some people, a mattress that is too soft may not be the best option. Regarding the unpaved road, it's important to note that Tamarindo and the surrounding areas of Guanacaste are rural—not urban-which means that most roads leading to beaches and residential neighborhoods are not paved. In our case, we’re actually fortunate: only the last 160 ft of the road are unpaved, while the rest of the access road is fully paved and accessible by any type of vehicle. Also, in Guanacaste, it’s common to come across all kinds of animals, it's part of the region’s natural and authentic charm that many visitors enjoy. Your comments help us improve, and we’re so grateful that you’d still recommend the property to others. We'd love to host you again in the future
Great location not far from the beach. Super clean and has everything you need to enjoy your stay.
We had an absolutely incredible time at Casa Mare Blu From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the amenities and thoughtful details.
The highlight for us was definitely the stunning pool area. It felt like our own private oasis, perfect for lazy afternoons and refreshing morning swims. The outdoor grill and fire pit were a delightful bonus - we enjoyed BBQs and toasted marshmallows under the starry sky.
The location couldn't have been better. With supermarkets and fantastic restaurants just a stone's throw away, we never had to go far for anything we needed. The beach is a mere 8-minute drive, making it incredibly convenient for those sun-soaked days by the ocean.
The house itself is beautifully designed, with spacious and comfortable rooms that made us feel right at home. The attention to detail in the decor and furnishings really sets this place apart.
The hosts were amazing, providing excellent communication and ensuring we had everything we needed for a seamless stay.
The property was terrific! The pool was a blast and the premises were clean, organized, and exceeded expectations. Ana and her team were on top of the several minor issues that arose and I would give this property a full ten stars out of ten. There is one issue however I have to mention or this would not be an honest review. On the other side of the road behind the house are several local homes. There seem to be anywhere from ten to twenty dogs (or more) at these houses. These dogs bark and howl at all hours of the day and night. They clearly don't have a schedule and their owners make no attempt to control them. I will say that we're going back to this house but I would suggest that you sleep with your glass doors closed and perhaps even bring ear plugs. Closing the doors at night helps a lot. And one could consider all this just a part of the Cost Rican experience. It certainly wouldn't have been a deal breaker for us. But I think it's appropriate that you be aware of the issue.

Hello James,
Thank you very much for your feedback! We strive every day to ensure that our guests always have the best experience both inside and outside of Casa MareBlu. We're also very happy to hear that you enjoyed the refreshing pool water, the barbecue area, and our accommodation in general.
We’re truly sorry that you were disturbed by the barking dogs. The condominium administration has informed us that there are two dogs that bark when they see other animals in the area (such as raccoons, coatis, monkeys, dogs, horses, cows, cats, etc.). As you know, Tamarindo is a rural area where animals can often be seen roaming freely. However, we are working together with the condominium administration and the dogs’ owners to relocate them to a new place.
Finally, we want to thank you for choosing us and for being part of the Costa Rican experience. Thanks again, and as you mentioned in your comment, we’ll see you soon—our home is your home!
My older teenager is a whiz at finding cool VRBO, and this one did not disappoint. The beauty of in/outdoor living of Costa Rica was defined perfectly with this home. Close to Tamarindo Beach and 30 minutes from every secluded beach we were on the hunt for. The property manager was great from start to finish, and we could not have asked for more. Helpful hints.... Grocery shopping was slightly challenging until we found Auto Mercado. This was a must for finding more American-made food products, as we had three teenagers with us. Black Stallion Ranch (literally half a mile up the road) was fantastic for zip-lining and ATV riding; they were very friendly and very reasonable (one of our favorite days). There was a great pizza carry-out place right down the road (first plaza on the left, just past the paved road when exiting the development) for after a long day, and when you don't want to cook.Dragonfly restaurant as recommended in the book was fabulous.Thursday night Tamarindo Market was a lot of fun don't miss out.Tamarindo Beach sunsets are PERFECT! Bring a bottle of wine and enjoy.Kudos to Ana and her lovely home! I would recommend this home to anyone wanting the full Costa Rica experience. We will definitel be back.Thank you for the memories. Pura Vida!
