For over 10 years one of Playa Langosta's top rated Villas. Find out why.


Enchanted (in-‘chant-ed): Charmed. Captivated. Beguiled. Bewitched.

The charms of Costa Rica, the captivating natural beauty, the beguiling black sand beaches, and the bewitching sunsets over the Pacific Ocean are all yours to savor and enjoy. However you define it a vacation at Villa Encantada will create lasting memories you, your family and friends won’t soon forget.

At over 2100 square feet Villa Encantada's Moorish inspired design provides you with the perfect combination of space and luxury. Immaculately appointed interior and lush exterior tropical gardens enhance the beauty of the property and bring Costa Rica's flora and fauna right to you. In addition cast stone architectural elements and fountains, native handcrafted hardwood details and Moroccan inspired tiles create the atmosphere for a truly enchanting vacation!

The ideal location for that much needed getaway:
The Villa is perfectly situated across the street from the quiet, secluded Playa Langosta, which invites you to walk for miles on unspoiled beaches, find a driftwood log in the shade along the tree-lined shore to sit and admire the soaring Pelicans or marvel at the spectacular sunsets.

The Villa is conveniently located a short distance to a full service grocery store, many outstanding restaurants ranging from fine dining to family-friendly, world-class surfing and water activities, and a whole lot more.

So much to do, so little time!
The town of Tamarindo, a short walk from the Villa, features numerous restaurants, shops, clubs, a casino and just about everything you could want in a vacation destination. Enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving? Up for a good round of golf? Why not a thrilling ziplining adventure through one of the local rainforest canopies? Or just sit back and relax on a sunset champagne cruise. The options are virtually endless.

Your peace of mind matters:
Tamarindo also offers readily available ambulance, medical and dental services and pharmacy in case any unexpected emergency arises. The development is monitored 24/7 to ensure guests' security and peace of mind.

Your own private pool - who could ask for more?
Surrounded by the property's 10 foot high walls and lush tropical gardens, the Villa's oversized pool (the largest in the Villas Cerca del Mar development) features glass tiling inspired by the Pacific, an ornate wall mounted fountain and shaded deck with plenty of seating for both lounging and al fresco dining. The best feature is that the pool is yours exclusively - swim at your own discretion.

Our newly installed fountain patio is the perfect place to stretch, do yoga, meditate or simply read a book.

Keep it clean.
Each of our 3 guest rooms comes with its own private bathroom. The master bathroom on the first floor features a walk in shower and double vanity, and we recently completed a renovation to create a second master bathroom on the second floor. All are spacious, well lit and airy. A newly installed on-demand hot water system ensures a hot shower is just moments away.

When the day is done...
A good night's sleep isn't far away. Turn off the air conditioning, open the screened windows and let the tropical breezes and ocean surf lull you to sleep. Soft bed linens, fluffy pillows and blankets create the perfect ambiance for a wonderful rest. Awake refreshed and rejuvenated - ready for another day in paradise. Each bedroom comes with its own en suite bathroom including an open-air shower and adjacent tropical garden.

Master Bedroom #1 (first floor) features a queen size bed crafted of the finest locally sourced hardwoods and comfortable euro-pillow top mattress. Floor to ceiling glass panels separate the bedroom from a completely private rear terrace surrounded by lush gardens, bubbling fountain and comfortable lounge chairs.

Master Bedroom #2 (second floor, front) looks out over the Villa's pool and offers guests a four poster queen size bed featuring a euro pillow top mattress, fluffy pillows and soft blanket. Guests can enjoy the handcrafted stone balcony overlooking the pool and gardens. In the morning it's a great place to sit and enjoy a cup of Costa Rica's finest coffee or in the afternoon the best spot to take in the spectacular sunsets over the Pacific. The newly created Master Bathroom features an oversized rainshower with an open air skylight and a double vanity.

Guest bedroom #1 (second floor, rear) offers the option of either one king size bed or two twin beds and the same premium bedding and linens as the other guest rooms.

Living and dining - perfect together!
Upon first entering Enchanted Villa guests are welcomed into the open plan living/dining/kitchen area. Floor to ceiling windows surround the space on either side, allowing for plenty of air and light into the space. This floor plan is ideal for sharing great conversation, board games or watching television.

In the living room comfortable upholstered seating, complements all the comforts of home including a flat screen plasma television and a Sonus Wifi speaker system to enjoy your favorite music. Adjacent to the living room the dining area features a round teak dining table handcrafted from local hardwoods. The built in table leaf enables six guests to sit comfortably around the table.

The heart of the house...
Enchanted Villa offers a modern gourmet kitchen fully equipped with top of the line stainless steel appliances. A double filtered water dispenser on the refrigerator door ensures safe drinking water for all guests. The teak island, with butcher block top, is a great spot for friends and family to gather to prepare a meal together.

The inside out.
Just off the kitchen/living/dining area is the outdoor grill area, featuring a chef's gas grill and seating for 4, all surrounded by lush flowers and plants and a ceiling fan.

Conveniently located a little ways down the hall guests will find the half-bath. Across from the half bath guests can enjoy our newly installed fountain patio, the perfect place to stretch, do yoga, meditate or simply enjoy a good book.

Charming villa

Location was great. One minute walk to beach to watch the sunset almost every evening. Property management was very responsive to any needs that we had. Real old world, charm and a beautiful outdoor area with trees, plants and a pool. location. Quiet area, but yet only four minutes away by golf cart to Tamarindo, where a lot of action is going on. I would definitely recommend this place.

Magical Gem in Tamarindo!

THIS was our best family vacay yet! And we have traveled all over the world. We felt like we were entering a Moroccan oasis… in Costa Rica. We LOVED the pool. We cooked the whole 8 days and had everything we needed. The villa is right across the street from the most gorgeous sunset. Owners were responsive and care…great hosts! We got to see a monkey family right outside the villa. The location is quiet yet still central to everything. We will be back! Pura Vida.

The perfect location for our family vacation!

This home was beyond perfect for our family of 6- all adults. We loved the layout (private baths for each bedroom- each open air) and decor, the pool, the well stocked kitchen and most importantly, the proximity to the beach! There is a short path right across the street that leads to the most gorgeous beach. Although not ideal for swimming (too rocky) it does have tidal pools for lounging and the most gorgeous sunset viewing! Russ was so helpful from the time of booking and in the days leading up to our stay. We were on the go much of the time, but were always so happy to return home to the villa. We can't wait to return!

The Sweet Spot

The pictures of this property are accurate. The location and facilities really hit the sweet spot. The property is across the street from a comparatively unpopulated beach and there is an easy access path. It's not far to get to the really populated Tamarindo beach when that is what you want. At the middle of the day when you want to get out of the sun and take a break the private pool and courtyard are heaven on earth. Just add your favorite beverage and relax; we spent A LOT of time doing just that. Host communications were a breeze.

Beautiful space!

We instantly felt right at home at Villa Encantada, the space is stunning, the beds were comfortable, the pool temperature was perfect. Aside from the constant construction I think the house was perfect to host us for our girls trip. It was right across the street to the quiet beach and a short 20 minute walk to the town center.

Relaxing week at the Villa

Great location - close enough to hop on a Bird scooter or rent a bike for getting into Tamarindo (~5 mins by scooter), but no noise from town. Lovely to sit by the pool and read, take a dip and read some more! Comfortable beds and bedding, kitchen was clean. Would definitely stay again.

Had a great time! House is just as shown in pictures. Pool was amazing. With in walking distance to several good restaurants. The beach that you can walk to is really pretty, but isn’t really swimmable, it has lots of big rocks. But you can drive (about two min) or walk (abojt 20 min to another beach that is.

Perfect hideaway right outside of Tamarindo!!!

We had our family vacation with our adult kids and we always try to do a destination Christmas! This villa was the perfect place for us. Everyone has their own space and the pool in courtyard with the fountain was so serene. The kids went to surf and my husband and I enjoyed hanging out at the villa. I would recommend Russ and Duncan’s place to anyone!! Pura Vida!!

Annual Winter Escape

The Villa could not have been more perfect in every way. It's our favorite stay out many annual visits to Tamarindo. We six ladies plan to return to enjoy the villa, the sunshine and the hospitality. And at our request hosts had installed key pad door locks so we never had to search for or try to share keys. So thoughtful and much appreciated. Hosts were very accessible by prompt email with all our extra planning questions.

Beautiful, well-appointed villa

The villa was stunning, private and including useful touches like beach chairs, a cooler, beach towels and a complimentary membership to the Langosta Beach Club etc. The location was a short walk to the beach and close enough to walk into Tamarindo too. Coming home to the villa felt like you were entering your own private paradise. The outdoor grill and well-stocked kitchen made it easy to relax and stay put for meals as well. The house was laid out so each of the bedrooms has privacy and their own bathroom which made traveling with a group of 6 feel spacious. I would highly recommend Villa Encantada to anyone.

Good stay in Tamarindo. The layout of the villa worked really well for us (4 adults, 2 children). The pool was a real hit with us all as it was quite hot during our stay. Playa Langosta is just across the street and Playa Tamarindo is an easy walk away. Lots of pool and beach towels available. The owners were very quick to respond to questions, and the management team at RPM/Tropical Vacations was fantastic. We hired the private chef through RPM one night. I highly recommend this. What a treat! Christian, the chef, prepared a phenomenal meal for us. This was a great vacation for us. Always a few hiccups when traveling, but the overall experience Pura Vida.

Great place and memorable stay

Stayed for 8 days, with my three kids, 5, 10, and 16. The description of the property was accurate, and it was beautiful. From the private pool, amazing showers, and decor, all made the stay very relaxing. A few bounuses included the wildlife right there: iguana's, howling monkey, and butterflies. The beach across the street was also amazing. We mabe saw a handful of people at most, and spent most of our days hanging out there. We didn't even need a car, as taxi's and golf cart rentals are available to get you into town, if you care to hit the local shops or grocery store. We have donr many beach vacations all over the world, and this is place is one of the top locations we have visited. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful house so close to everything

We spent a week at the home with our 3 children and it wasn't enough time. Having our own pool was the best. The kids were in it constantly. We didn't really cook, but the kitchen was very nice and well stocked. It was also nice to have 3 1/2 bathrooms in the house with 5 people. RPM-the management company- was amazing. We also enjoyed using the Langousta Beach Club. Jimmy was our favorite waiter on the beach. The owners were wonderful to work with! I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a tropical getaway!

AMAZING!!

We took our entire family of 6 plus my mom down to CR for the first time. I was nervous about renting a house in a foreign country, but could not have been happier with my decision. The house was everything the pictures showed - AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN AND JUST PERFECT. We had 4 kids between the ages of 10 to 17. They all fell in love with it. The pool kept the little guys occupied and the bigger kids loved the easy access to the beach. It was very difficult to find the first day, but after that, it was well worth the struggle. We would definately go back and have already recommended to several of our friends! The owners of teh property were fantastic to work with as well. They went above and beyond!

Just wonderful

I am a 71 year old, active mature, fun, loving woman. I took two of my friends of similar age as guest down to Villa Encantada.. We had a wonderful time with no exceptions. The villa was perfect for us. Beautifully decorated. Just the right amount of space for us all to have our Own bedroom and bathroom. Kitchen was incredibly well stocked. It was clean. The bedsheets were lovely and it was the perfect getaway. Even when we had tiny issues with the air conditioning and the pool, when I contacted the management company, RPM… Everything was addressed In a very speedy way. Pool was delicious, the privacy was too. Other than it being 97° every day, we had a perfect time. The location in Playa Landosta Was perfect for the peace and quiet of that and the proximity to tamarindo. I go back to that area. I have no doubt that this is where I would want to return to. All in all it was JUST Wonderful. I recommend Villa Encantada wholeheartedly.

Magical

My wife and I with our two sons and two of there friends spent a full week at this home in Langosta. The house was PERFECT. From the moment you walk through the wall you are greeted by such greenery, a running water fountain, a crystal clear pool and gorgeous accessories. The living space is airy and bright. The kitchen was well stocked and we used it extensively as well as the grill. Each bedroom is so uniques with showers that given you an outdoor feeling.The membership gives you a hotel feel with the experience of a house. The staff at LBC is great they help with everything from transfer to excursions. Just down the street visit Mattys for breakfast and beach provisions. We loved Green Papaya and Dragon Fly. Lola's is a must and when picking a snorkeling excursions use Antares. Duncan and Russell please buy a place in the Greek Islands so that we can rent that next !

Fantastic Villa for an active family

This was one of the best VRBO experiences we have had and we have been happy with all of them. My family of 6 (including teenagers) stayed at the property and had plenty of room to spread out and it was well equipped. Located away from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo but still very accessible by roadside pay-for scooters, golf cart (rented next door) , car (parked in driveway) and was even walkable. It had a cool, Spanish vibe with a beautiful pool and courtyard to lounge by. Cleaners and someone who took care of the pool and grounds came by multiple times per week. I used RPM and Lola to book excurions ahead of time and left the second half of the week unbooked so I could get a feel what what we wanted to do once there. Lola gave great advice and we ended up using Captain Jim (Life is Better at Sea) out of Flamingo for a private boat day with fishing and snorkeling/paddleboarding, scuba (Flamingo) and many 1/2 day fishing trips. Surf at Witch's Rock. My kids liked to go across the st down a few blocks to the Langosta Beach Club. We used it for massages, yoga, and beach chair set up and menu service on beach. It was about 30 dollars per person per day and we had to get there early or they sold out (it was spring break). There is a pool there too. The better beach is at the end of the road by Occidental hotel-you can walk there. It is quieter, no panhandling and more picturesque than the club one or in town of Tamarindo. Russ was a pleasure to work with.

Good villa for the family

The villa was very nice and comfortable for our family of 5 (18,16, and 15 year old kids). It is in a good location close enough to get to Tamarindo by bike, but quiet enough for relaxation. The on-site pool was fantastic, kitchen great, and a good layout. The ocean was across the street and there is a great beach near the Occidental Hotel about a 1/3 mile away. The pizza place down the street (opens at 5pm), the sports bar (cash only) around the corner, and Fish and Cheeses are good spots to get something to eat within walking distance. Marcella at Watermans for bike and surf rental is great and right down the street. Of course there is Tamarindo that is easily accessible by bike (10 minutes), or a cheap $5 cab ride. We rode bikes there daily. There are endless places to eat, drink, and do whatever you want. It is a busy little town, but a lot of fun. We used the Langosta Beach Club while there. This is an added benefit to using the villa. Everyone at the LBC is fantastic. The food is good, the beach is nice, and the pool is well laid out. The LBC is a 5 minute bike ride, or you can walk there as well. We really enjoyed our time in Playa Langosta at the Villa and will plan on another return trip. My only recommendation would be to do something about the front door and installing a stop in it to prevent it from slamming shut.

Wish I were still there; cannot wait to return!

We stayed at the villa from Dec. 13-20th and loved every minute of our vacation in Tamarindo! My husband and I took our 3 young-adult daughters and found this villa to be perfect for all. The location was great with an easy walk or drive into town and the beach club. A little market is just around the corner for quick shopping and a short drive to a larger grocery store. The home was lovely with a beautiful pool area, a fully functional kitchen, a new grill, and comfortable furnishings, bedrooms and baths. Everything was as described and perfect for our family, we had maid and pool service several times during the week. We ate breakfast and most lunches at the house, and a few dinners as well. The rest of the evenings we ate at the Beach Club, a great little pizza place (Pizzaria Portofino), and the Dragonfly. All meals were very good and we especially enjoyed the fresh fish. The Beach Club is a wonderful ammenity with every need taken care of in a casual, welcoming atmosphere. We took advantage of just about everything offered including workouts/yoga, kayaking, lounging at the beach and pool, lunch, drinks, dinner, and having Maggie set up several excursions. We loved a sunset Catamaran cruise with snorkling and food, ziplining and tubing, and surf lessons at the beach for my daughters. It was our first trip to Costa Rica and we loved the people, the friendly town of Tamarindo, and the easy-going atmosphere. We felt safe and secure in the home and in traveling in the area. Fabulous trip! Would definitely stay at the Enchanted Villa again!

Perfect Pad in Paradise!

My wife and I stayed at Villa Encantada with our two teenage children. We could not have asked for a better home base for our Costa Rican adventure. The villa is located just outside of Tamarindo in Playa Langosta. The location allowed us to enjoy everything Tamarindo had to offer without being neck deep in the action. There is just enough commerce directly around the villa to keep you happy (small grocery, tapas restaurant, breakfast place) but not enough to make it feel commercialized. The villa itself is wonderfully kept and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed for our stay (including a washer and dryer - allowing us to pack light). The giant pool and outdoor shower were great amenities. The bedrooms were spacious, comfortably air-conditioned and each had their own full bath. The kitchen was upscale and well appointed. The housekeeping staff came several times during the week and kept the place sparkling. They even replaced the beautiful local flowers provided in the living areas. We felt truly pampered. The beautiful Playa Langosta beach is directly across the street - a mere two minute walk down a lovely nature trail. It was a great place to watch the sun come up and/or go down. You can also walk the beach all the way into Tamarindo - a real treat. By far our favorite amenity was the complimentary membership to the Langosta Beach Club that is included with the villa. We made it our first stop and enjoyed it all week. The pool and beach were great - lots of shade to go with the surf and sun. The staff was very attentive (especially Fabricio) - keeping us well fed and watered each day. They have a great little gym onsite. They helped arrange excursions for us. They even a howler monkey onsite for our last day - what more could you ask for? Communication from the owners before and during our stay was helpful and pleasant. They went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Costa Rica. Thank you Duncan and Russ for sharing your wonderful home with us. We're already planning our return visit.

A Magical Oasis in a Perfect Location!

A stay at Villa Encantada is simply a magical experience. As you arrive, the beautiful Mediterranean architecture gives you a glimpse of what is to come. Entering the private courtyard you are welcomed to a luxurious oasis boasting a magnificent private pool with a refreshing fountain surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Several sitting areas provide you with choices of sun or shade complete with ceiling fans, stereo speakers, comfortable cushioned furniture and lighting perfect for romantic evenings. Upon entering the Villa itself there is an open plan concept featuring a well appointed chef's kitchen, large dining table and comfortable living area with flat screen cable TV and music system. The plush furnishings, warm colors and custom made tile and woodwork create a most comfortable environment. Moving through the Villa there is a convenient half bath and an outdoor dining area complete with high end grill. In the rear is the private and magnificent Master Suite complete with a walk in closet/dressing/laundry area and a huge shower with screened access to the private rear garden. Upstairs are two additional, well appointed bedroom suites, one with a wonderful balcony overlooking the pool, that complete a very well designed floor plan. The Villa is in the very desirable Playa Langosta area surrounded by high end properties. The beautiful beach, great for walking, exploring and enjoying magnificent sunsets, is just a short walk through a land preserve. All the necessities such as a food and beverages, breakfast/lunch/dinner are again just a short stroll away. A longer walk or a short drive brings you to the bustling town of Tamarindo with all the beach activities and nightlife you could want. Close enough to enjoy and far enough to maintain peace and quiet! One of the benefits not to be missed is complimentary access to the Langosta Beach Club. Within walking distance (also by the beach at low tide), it is a great spot to enjoy the beach, spa and gym, cocktails at the bar and poolside dining. Highly recommended. Russ and Duncan have created a Magical Oasis that made our Costa Rican trip a truly enchanted experience. We are anxiously looking forward to our return visit. Pura Vida!

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!

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

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.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

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.
