Planning a family vacation to Tamarindo, Costa Rica? Then, you're probably searching for the perfect accommodations. And that's where these five family vacation rentals in Tamarindo might come in handy!
So, why a vacation rental instead of a hotel? There are many reasons, but the three big ones are space, amenities, and economy: in short, your budget stretches much further, and buys more square-footage and extras (ex. a private pool, Jacuzzis, secluded decks, gourmet kitchens, and more) for the same – or less – than the cost of a ho-hum hotel room.
And, with that, five of our favorite family vacation rentals in Tamarindo:
