Que diriez-vous une maison privée pour moins d'un Hôtel ou Condo? 100 verges pour le sable
Pourquoi payer pour un condo ou une chambre d'Hôtel quand vous pourriez avoir une maison ENTIER tout à vous pour beaucoup moins? (Sérieusement - Si vous ne me croyez pas, consultez les «Notes» juste avant la section Services ci-dessous). Si vos rêves tropicaux incluent un désir d'intimité, d'un magnifique jardin, une cour arrière privée, et un confort qui offre une maison loin de la maison, la Casa de las Olas (House of the Waves) pourrait être juste ce que vous cherchez . À la Casa de las Olas, quand vous arrivez nous aimons à penser que vous «Drop In» à la vie !!!
2 chambres, 2 salles de bain maison privée est l'un des rares, les résidences unifamiliales personnels à la disposition du public dans Tamarindo. Situé à mi-chemin entre Tamarindo et Langosta, Casa de las Olas est à l'écart de l'agitation de la ville dans un endroit calme, le premier ministre qui est à seulement 100 kilomètres de la plus sûre plage de baignade dans la région, et un court de deux minutes à pied de l'un des meilleurs restaurants à Tamarindo. 'Ville' est une belle promenade de 10 minutes de la plage.
Votre hôte reconnaît que lorsque vous cherchez une location de vacances, vous avez beaucoup de choix. En partageant ma maison avec vous, mon but est de vous fournir une expérience tropicale mémorable, à un coût qui est inférieur à la plupart des chambres d'hôtel à prix modérés ou complexes de condos bondés.
Si vous préférez un cadre privé, vous pouvez commencer à comprendre pourquoi cette maison est devenue l'un des plus recherchés après les propriétés dans la région de Tamarindo. Que ce soit pour le surf, la pêche, la plongée, le snorkeling, la découverte, la lecture, ou tout simplement vieux de détente dans les hamacs, laissez Casa de las Olas être votre oasis tropicale.
Notes de la véritable «valeur» de cette propriété: Après récemment de retour, je vraiment commencé à comprendre ce une bonne affaire cette maison est comparée à la plupart des autres propriétés dans la région. Je constamment dit que je suis «sous-évaluées» et que «les photos ne lui rendent pas justice. ' Je peux vous offrir cette "valeur" car j'ai acheté cette propriété il y a 30 ans (bien avant que Tamarindo ne soit "découverte"). Même si cela ne fonctionnera probablement pas pour tout le monde, car il n'y a pas de piscine, je vous mets au défi de trouver une meilleure offre, surtout si l'on considère que la maison est livrée avec 2 planches de surf et 2 vélos de style 'Beach Cruiser'; Boogie Boards; Glacières; et autres "jouets". Et, quand je suis en résidence (j'avoir un petit studio "casita" au-dessus du garage que je reste à l'occasion), vous avez même votre propre maison-Costa Rica conseiller - Je vous souhaite le meilleur dans votre planification de vacances !!!
NOTE IMPORTANTE CONCERNANT LES AVIS: La Casa de las Olas est cotée sur VRBO depuis 2006. Bien que VRBO ait radicalement changé la manière dont ils permettent aux propriétaires et aux invités d’interagir, j’ai récemment saisi cette occasion pour relire les avis relatifs à ma propriété et à l’ensemble de notre équipe. En tant que propriétaire et responsable ultime de la fourniture d'une propriété de manière fidèlement représentée sur ce site, je voudrais exprimer ce qui suit - je ne saurais vous dire comment honoré et reconnaissant de la part de toute notre équipe est d’avoir reçu tant de critiques merveilleuses et incroyables. En tant qu'invité, vous ne savez peut-être pas à quel point il est difficile de recevoir les avis les mieux notés, car il est parfois si facile pour certains types d'individus de trouver des éléments ou des problèmes à blâmer (il y a beaucoup de "pièces mobiles" dans maintenir une maison sous les tropiques). Je me rends compte qu’il pourrait y avoir un point dans l’avenir où nous ne toucherons pas la marque avec un invité particulier (espérons-le, pas), mais sachez que notre équipe est extrêmement reconnaissante et honorée par tous les examens passés qui ont soutenu notre efforts. Merci beaucoup de croire en nous et de nous soutenir !!! Vous avez mon engagement et mes assurances de toujours rechercher l'excellence dans tout ce que nous faisons.
S'IL VOUS PLAÎT NOTE: Cette une propriété très populaire - Je suis très chanceux d'avoir de nombreux clients qui reviennent et la maison est souvent réservé solide au cours de la saison des primaires. Cependant, je ne maintiennent pas LE CALENDRIER VRBO, donc s'il vous plaît me contacter pour vérifier la disponibilité. Je vous remercie.

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.

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!

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!

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.

We had an absolute wonderful time at Rik's place, from walking along the beach for dinner in town to the Palo Verde national park, but the highlight of our vacation was coming across the Olive Ridley Turtles babies digging out of their nest while walking back from dinner , not 100 meters from Rik's place, and yes we made sure ALL the turtles made it to the ocean (100+)

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".

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.

Thank you so very much for the excellent review - it is appreciated much more than you know !!! As the owner of the property, I know that our Team works extremely hard to take good care of our Guests and I, and they appreciate it when that effort is acknowledged and recognized.
As one can only imagine, since Costa Rica is somewhat "off the beaten path" (which really adds to the exceptional experiences people sometimes have), the logistics of maintaining Casa de las Olas for our wonderful Guests is, on one end challenging, but on the other end well-worth the effort when we receive such kind words as yours.

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!

Thank you for your recent visit to Costa Rica staying at my Home. I was concerned to hear about your experience with the wifi, bbq, and other issues. We understand that one of the things you expect most when staying at a holiday property is great wifi even when you are in a foreign country that may not have the internet speeds you are used to in Canada – along those lines, the electrical grid in a 2nd world country is often not as reliable as well, which often times causes surges which will occasionally cause a light bulb to fail. The bbq instructions were in the House manual, but you may have missed this. Sadly, you must have also missed the spare toilet paper that was in the cabinet under the bathroom sinks as well. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for these problems, although I know that does not change your experience. I hope that you can feel confident that we heard your concerns. Thank you for your feedback and review and we look forward to making it up to you in your next visit to the beautiful country that is Costa Rica.

Great house, great value, great owner!
My husband and I have stayed in Casa de las Olas several times in the last few years: just the two of us, the two of us along with our daughter and her baby, and also with another couple. We've stayed for as few as 6 days and as long as a month. The layout of each bedroom being adjacent to a bathroom makes sharing the house work out great.
The house is always immaculate. Irania, the housekeeper, comes 3 times a week which is just perfect.
Rik is a great neighbor/landlord - always helpful, always willing to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
I agree with all the other reviews so don't want to repeat the comments.. This is THE BEST BUY in Tamarindo. You can't go wrong choosing Casa de las Olas. (Love ya', Rik!)

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.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : R. C. Grencik
NOTE: For the first time in almost 40 years, as the original Owner and Builder of Casa de las Olas, I (Rik) have sold the property (December 2025). That's the Bad News. The Good News is that I have sold the property to my Nephew, Jason and his Wife Chelsea. Over the years, the entire Team at Casa de las Olas has worked diligently to take care of our Guests so that they would truly enjoy their hard-earned vacation and have a Wonderful Stay at this incredible property. Based on the entire Teams efforts, we have consistently earned a 5-Star rating AND we have many Guests that have returned for multiple years.
In terms of your consideration of choosing Casa de las Olas, Jason and Chelsea are keeping every member of our long standing Staff in place. In doing so, with this change in Ownership, you can assured that nothing will affect your holiday in any way. Irania, our House Cleaner of 26 years will still take GREAT care of you as she always has and Victor, our Gardner will continue to maintain our Beautiful Gardens.
THANK YOU for your understanding and considering Casa de las Olas !!
Until Jason and Chelsea update their information, what follows is Rik's archive info: 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!
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
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!
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
Casa de las Olas is in one of the best locations and neighborhoods to stay in Tamarindo. It is a traditional Costa Rican style home that prioritizes the beauty of simplicity and incorporating outdoor spaces into living. We call it's style "Tico-Eclectic" because it is a combination of traditional local style and surfer style, which includes beautiful and comfortable amenities inside and out. Casa de las Olas is a very short walk to the a beautiful beach, with a private lounging pool and tropical paradise in the backyard. Which includes a rancho/BBQ-kitchenette and dining space, sun loungers, tropical gardens, hammock, WIFI, toilet, and outdoor tropical showers. For your beach adventures, guests have the use of two surfboards, two boogie boards, two bicycles, and a Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP). Casa de las Olas is well appointed with all of the modern indoor/outdoor conveniences and comforts. So no matter what you prefer, whether it's surfing, lounging in the pool, or laying in the hammock, Casa de las Olas is a special place people love and continue to return. 'Remember, work less, Surf more'
