We really enjoyed our stay! The location is perfect, and the host was very responsive . The pool area is excellent, and we would highly recommend others to stay here !

Wonderful property !!
We had the best vacation! The property, location and beach were fantastic. The apartment and property were very clean. Karen and Otonio maintain the property and kept everything beautiful. María was fantastic to communicate with. You can’t find a better location. Close enough to town but far enough away for quiet time. We will most definitely return

Our own paradise!
Such a beautiful place to stay - our own little paradise! Maria was very helpful with check-in and setting up surf lessons for us right outside the house on the beach. We planned on seeing so much more of Costa Rica but this property was just too beautiful and we didn't want to leave. Karen the housekeeper was also very friendly and helpful. Everything was as described and we can't wait to return! Pura Vida!

Great Location & Facilities
This is a perfect location. It's quiet in the yard with your own private pool and outside eating area, and yet it's walkable to town and all the action at the restaurants/bars. We loved our vacation and this place! Great communication with the property manager Maria. She arranged our transportation to/from the airport. Loved Costa Rica!!! We felt safe and enjoyed our vacation and will definitely return.

Beautiful
Everything was spectacular, beautiful accommodation, great security, great location. The accommodation was first class. We even had beautiful monogrammed beach towels. The only negative was there was not a gas/propane barbecue or a microwave as we like to cook our own meals. Decently supplied for meals.

Pura Vida Perfection
If you are looking at this property right now, quick book it! First of all, the location is perfect- just far enough from the hustle and bustle but a short beach walk to all the restaurants. The one bedroom cottage is decorated well, comfortable bed and very clean. Costa Rica is hot but who cares when you have a great pool and palapa to cool down. Property is very secure and you are right on the beach for sunset every night. Thank you Maria and Karen for being so accommodating during our short stay. We hope to return. Mucho Gracias!

Disappointing
Unfortunately, this property is not as listed on VRBO. Some of the pictures of the outside of this property are of and from the main home, not the suite. The listing indicates beach front, however, the main home is beach front and the suite is behind the main home. In my mind, beachfront is on the beach, not behind a home on the beach. The picture on the website from the beach is of the main home, which is not where you will be staying, you will be behind that home. The picture from the side patio is also from the main home, not the suite. The view from the side patio of the suite is of an open area filled with weeds and you can see a sliver of the beach through a fence covered with tarps. My husband and I only stayed one night of our six night stay. We were so disappointed that our view was of the back of the main home, not the beach and would not have chosen to stay here had we known that. The grounds themselves are very nice and seem to be well secured. My only request of the owners, please show honest pictures of the suite(where it's situated on the property), the view from the suite and advise in the description this isn't beach front it's behind the main home, so people can make an informed decision when they are choosing where to stay on their vacation.

Great Place to Stay
I reviewed all the reviews and don't have much more to add to all of the superlatives. It is a great place to stay and Maria was wonderful and responsive! We absolutely loved the pool area and had the place to ourselves. My brother stayed down the beach at the Coast Hotel and I have no doubt we had the better accommodation. That being said, there are a few personal observations I believe others may benefit from knowing prior to enjoying this property:
1. The shower pressure is, well, horrible. It pains me to say as the place is so great, but it was really bad.
2. The upstairs apartment is not oceanfront. It is not advertised as such, but from the pictures you may think it is. There are no real ocean views from the actual apartment. It is more of an "in-law" apartment in the back of the main house (which is ocean front and spectacular).
3. The mattress on the bed is comprised of two single/twin mattresses. Therefore, there is a noticeable crack down the middle where the two mattresses come together.
4. Keys. Maria provides one set of 5 keys and a separate remote (think car fob) for the alarm system at night. There is a key for the apartment, gate to beach, safe, gate to house, and one other. Having only one set of keys can be an issue (note: we never asked for a 2nd set and perhaps she can provide one). So, anytime you leave the property, you need to use at least two different keys to get both out and into the property.
5. Housekeeping. There is a tidying up service provided by Karen Tues, Thurs, and Sat. This was a nice surprise.
Again...save maybe the shower pressure...absolutely none of these nits would prevent me from returning to this wonderful property.

Perfect location
This was such an amazing property!! The manager, housekeeper and Gardner were fantastic!! The only thing I would say is perhaps they should charge $5 extra per night to have shampoo, q-tips, robes and coffee. A bit of a miss for guests traveling more than 10 hours to get to one of the best places on earth only to have the chore of finding a market to shop. That’s our only complaint. Would have paid a few dollars extra for that. And the keys- so many keys :). Overall would totally recommend- as long as the owners are not there. Because that would have just been weird. Thanks for an amazing stay in your gorgeous space!!!!

Quiet and close to everything in town
I'd recommend the suite to any couple or single person. It's comfortable, the property is literally 25 feet from the beach, and you can't be closer to town. The suite is behind the main house, and shares a private pool with a great shaded lounger. There's a beach club on one side, and the Ocho resort on the other. There's also a small outside deck which is always shaded, and is perfect for reading or sharing a glass of wine. The kitchen is perfect, and great closet space etc. (The outside deck in the listing is actually part of the main house, and is not accessible to the suite.). Highly recommended-- with thanks.

Fantastic Stay!
This property was a dream! The living/sleeping area is not a large area, however it is perfect for a couple looking for an ideal location. It is clean, modern, and has everything you need! The pool/garden area was amazing! Being steps from the beach was such a treat. We were also a short walk to town, and found ourselves walking to town on the beach often. You cannot beat this location!

Exceptional place!
This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at Fonda Del Mar. It is truly a sanctuary with every detail being taken care of. The apartment is spacious and lovely with a fully stocked kitchen. Great bed, beautifully decorated, light and bright. The pool area and proximity to the beach cannot be beat. While within easy walk to restaurants and shopping, it feels removed and peaceful. The owners Linda and Dave and property manager Maria are wonderful and so helpful. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolute gem
This property is everything it is described as and more. The location is ideal on the quieter section of the beach with direct, easy access to the water and a short walk into town. We were fortunate to meet the owners and so appreciate them making this property available for rent. We loved the artwork everywhere, especially the mosaics. This is definitely a 5 star property! Thank you so much for sharing your home!

Tamarindo Beach
Hi! I don't often write reviews, but felt I should for this property.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. We loved Tamarindo, the beach, the shells, the nightlife and the restaurants. We TOTALLY recommend The Dragon Fly. We went there 3 of 5 nights. Their food, service, prices, drinks and atmosphere were outstanding. The grounds for the property itself were beautiful. The pool was such a treat and the host brought extra chairs to make sure we were all taken care of. The host also addressed the air conditioning not working promptly. My two significant complaints are that the bed in the rental with the blue bed spread pictured is two twins pushed together which makes cuddling very uncomfortable. The other complaint is the view from the actual unit is not represented in the pictures. The property has the views represented and a renter has access to the full property, but from the actual rented unit one can barely see the beach and the immediate sitting area was nothing to write home about. Overall we liked the property, but think the bed needs to be changed and the listing needs to be more fairly representative of what the renter actually gets.

The perfect place to stay in Tamarindo
In Nov 2018 my wife and I stayed at this property. It was our first time in Costa Rica, and we could not have found a more perfect place to stay and experience Tamarindo! We had the whole property to ourselves and the pool area was so nice to cool down in. The beach access was awesome! The best spot on the beach was right at the end of the beach access path. One of the surfing breaks is right in front of the property. For only a short 3 minute walk away, we had access to all of the beach restaurants! The apartment itself was very nice, comfortable, and clean. We will be staying here again in the future and will be bringing friends and family with us. The only complaint I had is that the accuracy of the online listing does not do it justice. Also, the manager was very friendly and helpful! We can't wait to come back.

The suite was perfect and as advertised. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed very comfortable and the AC was great for sleeping. The pool was fantastic, including a cabana. We were the only ones there. You are just a few steps away from the beach. Restaurants within walking distance on the beach or in to town. Maria greeted us and there was info in the suite with local suggestions. I would highly recommend Casa Fonda del Mar.
