Your Private Tropical Oasis for 6, with pool and only 100 yards to the Beach!

Welcome to Casa de las Olas, an incredible tropical paradise just 100 yards to the beach!

For the first time ever, in 2024 we began to rent the entire property as a whole. What that means for you is that, for groups up to 6 you will have the primary Residence (the Casa) and the attached Casita. The Casa is about 1,700 square feet and includes two bedrooms; two bathrooms (one with a full bathtub, the other with a shower); full kitchen; living room; dining area; TV; a working desk area; Air Conditioning in all spaces; a front terrace with hammocks and fans; and is just steps away from either the beach or the wonderful pool in the rear yard. The Casita is attached to the Casa and is located above the garage. The Casita is a large studio of approximately 700 square feet, with a full bath; a queen bed; a full kitchen; a living room area with TV; a desk / office area; air conditioning; a wonderful terrace; hammocks; and, a really cool vibe. Both the Casa and the Casita have their own separate private outdoor showers that are surrounded by beautiful gardens.

In 2022 we undertook a major renovation project, which was building a backyard paradise that includes lush gardens, a pool, rancho/kitchenette, and private outdoor showers, and lounging spaces for all to enjoy.

So if you are looking for an Amazing, Beautiful, Fun, Private, well-appointed tropical getaway, we have exactly what you’re looking for. At Casa de las Olas, we believe that when you arrive you "Drop In To Life" !

Located midway between Tamarindo and Langosta, Casa de las Olas is tucked away from the bustle of town in a quiet, premier location that’s just 100 yards to the sand of the safest swimming beach in the area, and a short walk from a few of the finest restaurants in Tamarindo/Langosta. "Downtown" is a beautiful 10 minute walk down the beach, and Langosta's friendly restaurants & bars, and stunning sunsets and beaches are equally close.

We recognize that when you are looking for a vacation rental, you have many choices. In sharing our home with you, our goal is to provide you with a memorable tropical experience.

If you prefer a private setting, you can begin to understand why this property is one of the most sought after properties in the Tamarindo area. Whether it’s surfing, fishing, diving, sitting in the pool, snorkeling, exploring, reading, or just plain old relaxing in the hammock, let Casa de las Olas be your tropical oasis.

OUR TEAM STRIVES FOR EXCELLENCE
Besides providing excellent Customer Service, we know that many of you want your vacation to be more than just a time away, you want an Experience that builds memories for Life. Allow us to assist you in arranging sports fishing, surfing, an endless array of tours, snorkeling, scuba diving, SUPing, Day Spas, or any other experiential travel you may have a desire to have.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING REVIEWS:
Casa de las Olas has been listed on VRBO since 2006. Even though VRBO has changed dramatically over the years obviously, we pay attention to our Guests throughout. As the Owners and the ones who are ultimately responsible for providing a property to you in a manner that is accurately represented on this site, we'd like to express the following - we cannot adequately share with you how very Honored and Grateful our entire Team is to have received so many wonderful and incredible Reviews. As a Guest, you may or may not know how difficult receiving top rated Reviews can be because, at times, it is so easy for certain types of individuals to find items or issues to fault (there's a lot of "moving parts" in attempting to maintain a House in the tropics). We realize that there might be some point in the future where we don't hit the mark with a particular Guest (hopefully, not) but, please know that our Team is extremely Grateful and Humbled for all of the past Reviews that have supported our efforts. Thank You so very much for believing in and supporting us! You have our commitment and our assurances to always strive for Excellence in all that we do.

PLEASE NOTE: This a very popular property historically - we are very blessed to have many returning Guests - Thank you !!!

COVID-19:
We have adopted, and the entire Staff at Casa de las Olas has been trained in, the "UltraClean" protocol which was originally developed in Australia and is now an international standard for cleaning holiday rental units. Should you wish to receive additional information regarding the "Ultra Clean" protocol, just reach out and we will share this with you. Additionally, should you wish to not have the cleaning service, which is normally included, please let us know ahead of time so that we can arrange that with our incredible Maid.

Great location. Close to the beach…but peaceful as well!

We enjoyed our week at the house. Loved the outdoor showers! Air conditioning worked well. Housekeeping was an added plus. Loved the pool area and covered patio to escape the sun. The biggest drawback would be the locks required between the 2 units. Didn’t like that and really didn’t understand what it wouldBe like….and that is why I gave it a 4 star. Better suited for just adults I would say.

My wife and I had a glorious time staying at Rik and Susan's Casita. Every single part of the stay was perfect including the bed, outdoor living space and ease of walking to the beach or local markets/restaurants. Rik and Susan are great host and as enjoyable as the space. Looking forward to coming back in 2025!

Perfect spot in Tamarindo!

We couldn’t have made a better selection for our vacation in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. The casita was lovely with everything we needed. The pool, gardens, and outdoor living area were ideal. The beach access was just across the street. The property is in the quieter area of Tamarindo which was nice. It’s an easy walk to restaurants. Rik and Susan were gracious hosts. It was just the property and vacation we were looking for!

The Casita at Casa de Las Olas

We had the best time in Tamarindo and especially at Rik and Susan’s home. Couldn’t have been more happy with the hospitality and the property itself. The pool and tropical backyard was the icing on the cake plus only a 3-5 min walk across the street to the breathtaking beach. We look forward to coming back ASAP!

The perfect place to stay if you are looking for a quiet get away in Tamarindo.

Perfect place to stay in Tamarindo. Just takes a couple of minutes to walk to the beautiful beach of Tamarindo and a short walk to town with all of the amazing restaurants and shops. Casa de Las Olas was amazing. The quiet pool side oasis in the back yard was incredible. Perfect place to hear and see Howler Monkeys and Iguanas. Thank you Rik and Susan for your hospitality.

Absolutely amazing vacation

I cannot say enough good things about Casa de las Olas. It is in the perfect location, a one minute walk to a beautiful, uncrowded beach. It has everything you need, including a well stocked kitchen, bikes, and surfboards to use. And Rik is the perfect host - he has so many recommendations and is super responsive to any questions or issues you might have. We can’t wait to stay here again on our next visit!!

Beautiful Place

Tamarindo is a beautiful little town with very friendly people. Casa de las Olas was is a beautiful very clean well kept house. Rik (the landlord) is a awesome man, he was there to help with everything we needed. You just cross the street and go down a short path and there's the most beautiful soft sand beach. A must place tto stay if your in Tamarindo. Thank you Rik

A Gem steps from the Beach

The details, furnishings and garden show a true labour of Love. Rik has created a real garden of Eden near the Beach with all the toys included. We enjoyed our walks along the Ocean, but there were bicycles and surfboards available, too. Birds, iguanas and monkeys gave us great entertainment as we enjoyed this property and the closeness to the Beach. Kitchen was very well equipped--but as we were on vacation we took advantage of several beachfront restaurants--very good!! Thanks, Rik

Quiet, comfortable oasis

I stayed at Casa de Las Olas over New Year's with my 2 teenage sons. It was quiet, clean and very comfortable. We did cook some using the well equipped kitchen rather than eat out all meals. The twin hammocks on the front porch got a lot of use and the beach was just steps away. Did not think it would be needed, but I did appreciate the air conditioning in the bedrooms at night. The gardener even changed a flat tire for me while my teenagers were snoozing!

Paradise in Costa Rica

Hard to describe this house because there's SO much to rave about. It's beautiful, extremely well maintained, reasonably priced, within walking distance to everything you need, includes all the equipment you need to enjoy the beach across the street, and the owner is incredibly helpful. We didn't bother renting a vehicle because we could walk for everything we needed (on that fabulous beach!) or take a quick cab ride to bring home a bunch of groceries. We are so glad that we chose this location and this house --- they are the definition of "hidden gems". Thank you, Rik, for an unbelievable hoiday in paradise. We can't wait to come back!

An incredible and impressive home

This home exceeded any expectation we had. The pictures can't come close to the space and setting this home has to offer, seriously. We were just a short walking distance to what felt like a secluded beach, which was also close to an very nice boutique hotel that offered a quaint breakfast, dinner, and/or drinks. During our stay we also often found ourselves just as happy spending time on our front area lounging on hammocks, which was private and surrounded by a lush landscape. The owner Rik was extremely helpful during our stay, and we are appreciative for all his information he provided us. We are definitely coming back!

Costa Rica Relaxation

My wife and I recently stayed at Casa de las Olas for 2 weeks and had the most relaxing time at this wonderful house seconds away from Playa Tamarindo. Let the world spin on, but here you can just take it easy. The house is secluded, landscaped beautifully and immaculately maintained. Go surfing with the boards supplied with the house or snorkeling with the equipment that is there for you. The house is a short walk on the beach into town and near many restaurants. You can take a bike ride on the two beach cruiser bikes that stay at the house also. This was our 5th stay at Casa de las Olas and you can bet we will return again.

Perfect house in Paradise !!

The three of us just returned home from a 6 day stay at Casa De Las Olas and could not be any happier! The house was perfect for our needs, equipped with everything we needed and more. The housekeeper was there every other day along with the gardener, would of loved to brought them home with us !! We had many meals at home and the kitchen was very well equipped. The location is just steps away from the beach and we loved the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. Rik the owner was awesome to work with, answered our emails promptly and is very well respected and liked in Tamarindo. He has thought of everything to make his houseguests stay enjoyable and problem free. We highly recommend this property and plan on returning !!

Beautiful studio on quiet side of Tamarindo

Lovely studio that is very well appointed and has everything you need. Rik and Susan are easy to work with and have done a beautiful job taking care of the property. They have a wealth of information regarding Tamarindo and the surrounding area. The beach (Tamarindo) is very accessible and just a few steps away. We love that we are close to Tamarindo beach to hit the waves and Langosta beach (a short walk) to find seashells and the tide pools are fun to explore. We loved the restaurant next door. The pool area is very lush and beautiful. The pool was so nice to take a quick dip to cool off. It was a bit hot for us, but Rik and Susan can’t control the weather sadly (LOL). Also, the sun comes into the windows very early so bring an eye mask if you need it to be dark to sleep. We hope to return soon!

Amazing experience!

This property is not to be overlooked. Exactly as described in the listing. Rik couldn’t have been a better host. Gave us clear check in instructions, then he showed up a few minutes later. We chatted and he offered us any advise or suggestions we needed. Just a real class guy, laid back loves what he does and is very proud of his Casa de Las Olas, as he should be. We were two couples, my wife and I and my brother and his wife. They had never been to CR, and were greatly impressed. Literally out the door and to one of the most beautiful beaches in 100 yards. Then you can stroll along the wide beach and stop in at any number of restaurants and bars along the beach. If you’re there on a Friday, the hotel across the street has a beach barbecue in a beautiful setting, with food cooked grilled right there on the beach and Costa Rican entertainment following. I could go on and on, but just know you can’t find it much better than Rik’s place.

Wow

I don't know if there is a way to summarize an experience like the one we had at Casa de las Olas and Costa Rica in general. All I can say is that this has been a wonderful and adventurous first experience for me! Rik was an exceptional host and we thank him for sharing his beautiful property with us! He provided us with great information from start to finish. The food in the area was excellent! There wasn't a single restaurant we tried that we didn't like. The location of the house is amazing! The ocean is right across the street with a beach access. Restaurants and activities are all within walking distance. This couldn't have been a more convenient location for the privacy and the price. I passed out in the hammock listening to the waves crash in the distance. The house has everything you need if you want to cook, forgot your soap, shampoo, or conditioner, or anything in between. We fully intended to cook while we were there, but ended up eating out a majority of the time because of the quality of the food in the area. There is a ton more that i probably forgot, but there isn't a single negative remark to be had! Thank you so much for your hospitality Rik! We hope to stay again in the future!

A SLICE OF PARADISE

We got home Friday and already we are missing the hammocks. We now wish we bought the one at the hammock place when we saw it. The house was great and the location was perfect. To be able to just walk across the street to the beach and settle in for the day was just what we needed. We usually schedule lots to do during our vacations but since this was last minute we didn't. It was nice to have the bikes and boogie boards as options for our day. We rented a car for two days and made it too the waterfall and Conchal Beach. The directions Rik offers were very helpful and accurate. We took care of Tim(the iguana) and fed him breakfast every morning and we had a raccoon and a opossum come visit as well. The howler monkeys were fun to listen too and learned that only the males make that noise. The geckos were adorable and we learned that they were the ones making the chirping noise we kept hearing. The house is very inviting and comfortable and has all the necessary things you will need and then some. The property with all the plants and trees are beautiful. I wish I could get my yard to look like that. We will be back to Costa Rica and this house since there is lots more to see.

The property was beautiful in the pics but they do not do it justice.

Our experience was nothing short of perfection. We were greeted with a perfectly clean home and a beautifully manicured lawn. The house was filled with every tool/towel/sheet/pillow/cooking utensil/COMFORT we could have ever needed. Rik, the owner, has surrounded himself with very good people that turned out to be more like family than help. Our experience would not have been the same without them. Walter and his wife Ilina (I’m not sure of the spelling) were wonderful. Walter helped us with so many things we needed to know for getting around and things to do, and was just very friendly with a heart of gold. I will miss them as much as Costa Rica. I was initially worried about the proximity to the beach, but it was perfect. It was literally a few steps away, and if you wanted to walk along the beach you could eat, shop, drink—you name it all along the way. It’s in a perfect spot for tranquility and quiet yet within very minimal walking distance to all that is fun. The bedrooms were air conditioned which made sleeping heaven. The fans throughout the house kept it cool enough throughout the day although we were typically on the front porch lounging in the hammocks when we weren’t at the beach or in town. I am ridiculously happy my family was lucky enough to find “House of the Waves” through VRBO for our first stay ever in Costa Rica. It is a memory of a lifetime and one we will forever cherish.

Tamarindo vacation at Casa de Las Olas

My wife and I recently stayed at Casa de Las Olas in Tamarindo for 5 days. The owner, Rik, was wonderful to deal with and did everything he could to help make our vacation a success. Many thanks Rik for your great hospitality. This beautiful well maintained house and property has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a full kitchen and dining area and living room area. The two bedrooms are air conditioned but the other rooms are not, but there are lots of fans circulating the air. Outside there is a nice patio with two hammocks and an outdoor shower area which is wonderful after a day on the beach. There is also a patio area and BBQ in the back yard which we didn’t use. This property includes the use of two single speed bikes and 4 boogie boards, which we used a lot, and surf boards. There is also secure parking inside the gated and fenced yard. When booking this property my wife was a little concerned that we weren't directly on the beach. Once we got there we walked across a quiet street and down a 50 yard path and we were on the beach. It was perfect. Casa de Las Olas is located on south end of Tamarindo. It’s an easy 10-15 minute walk into town by beach or road with many restaurants and bars along the way. We had a car which made things a little easier but it isn’t a necessity. We would definitely stay here again. We loved the easy access to the beach, the privacy of our own house compared to a hotel room and we loved being able to have a relaxing breakfast on our patio. After a busy day on the beach and in town it’s nice to come back to a nice peaceful house and relax, pour a drink and lay in the hammock. Thank you Rik for having us as your guests and we wish you and Kata all the best. Pura Vida

Pura Vida at Casa de las Olas. Amazing house and location. Great host.

We recently (Dec. 2011) stayed at Casa de las Olas in Tamarindo. The owner was a gracious host and gave great tips on dining throughout the area (we recommend Koi for all you can eat sushi) as well as other tips to make our trip that much better. When in a foreign country for your first time this comes in handy. The house itself is a beautiful building and you can tell a lot of TLC was put into this place with all the modern amenities you could want from a full kitchen, AC in the bedrooms, wi-fi, and cable TV. The house is located walking distance (across the street) from the ocean. The waves while we stayed there were small, but fun with the provided Soft top surfboards (great to teach the girls how to surf). The beach cruisers that are included were also a nice treat to travel throughout the town. It's everything you could want at a bargain of a price! It was pure paradise for us. Massages on the beach (right across from the house) were a steal at $25/hour per person. On the last day I woke up early to catch some surf and treated to a viewing of howler monkeys in the trees across the street above the hotel. We highly recommend this place if you plan on visiting Tamarindo and want to feel right at home. It was comfy and relaxing for 5 of us and very convenient. We made use of the provided fridge, microwave, and coffee maker each day. We didn't utilize the provided BBQ, but that was a nice option. There is a great grocery store not far from the house (5 min drive). The hammocks were also nice to layout on with a book and beer in hand. We also took advantage of having the owner's maid do our laundry for a minimal fee, which made life easier before returning home. The only downside was that we stayed only a couple days and would of loved a couple more to fully explore this area of Costa Rica. But that only gives us a reason to return!

I'm an old California "Surf Rat" who has spent a vast majority of my time traveling the globe looking for waves. In 2009 I retired from the Fire Service. Like everyone, I've had some challenges, but I keep a smile on my face most of the time and laugh at myself fairly often.
I still love surfing, chasing waves, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and sharing Casa de las Olas with old and new friends alike!

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

I purchased this property in 1987, which was long before Tamarindo was "discovered," and literally, there was nothing here!

I built the home between 1992 and 2000. Since I was intimately involved in all phases of the construction, and Tamarindo was quite primitive at the time, I had to bring down most of the materials i.e., plumbing, electrical, etc. in Rubbermaid plastic bins. Even though I have been active in my life, the construction and logistics of building this home was one of the most challenging things I've ever done.

Since I've spent a fair bit of my time chasing waves in the backyards of the world, I knew that one day I wanted to retire in the Tropics and Tamarindo seemed to be a good place. Although it's changed dramatically over the years, Tamarindo is still a great place to kick back and enjoy life.

In 2022, Susan and I took on the grand project of remodeling the backyard into a real tropical paradise that includes a pool, tropical garden, large rancho, and lounging spaces. We LOVE our backyard paradise and hope you and your family and friends will too!
