Cabana De Playa

Our stay at this VRBO was absolutely fantastic! We had two families with teens, and the house was exactly as advertised — no surprises, just perfection.We rented golf carts, which made it a quick two-minute drive to town. While the walk is easy and totally doable, the carts were a fun and convenient touch. The outdoor space by the pool was a favorite hangout, and the rooftop deck? Perfect for watching sunsets.The house was spotless, and the beds were insanely comfortable — seriously, some of the best sleep we've had!Cris was incredible, taking care of all our excursions and even helping us adjust plans when things changed. She was incredibly responsive — if you reached out, you'd get a reply in seconds!And then there’s Ani... she was AMAZING! Her breakfasts were delicious, and each morning came with a fresh new juice smoothie. Don’t miss out on her pico, guac, and salsa — we were tempted to pack some for the trip home!There was some construction nearby, but it didn’t take away from our experience at all.We’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone — friends, family, or anyone looking for a memorable stay. Can't wait to go back!

My friends and I had an unforgettable experience during our first trip to Costa Rica, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing stay at this villa! From the moment we booked in February, Cris was incredibly communicative and supportive, even while she was on vacation herself. Her dedication to ensuring that guests are a top priority truly stood out.
Cris provided us with spot-on recommendations for activities and took care of everything for us, from booking a private chef and planning an ATV adventure to arranging a tequila tasting and getting us a golf cart. She made the trip planning process a breeze, allowing us to focus on enjoying our time.
Sharon, our housekeeper, was also a delight. She was so sweet and prepared the best American breakfasts we could ask for, which was a perfect start to our days filled with adventure.
Thank you, Stay in Tamarindo team, for making our time in Costa Rica nothing short of amazing.
PURA VIDA

Our stay was great. The manager made sure things ran smoothly. We only had 2 issues one was a complete miscommunication between myself and manager about a pick up but it was resolved quickly. The other was the 2 day of house mom service we got another house mom who was covering for the original she had no idea what all she was supposed to do, we commend her for trying to jump in but wish someone would have let us known bc we had to eat breakfast later than we would like, it gave us a late start of the day. She also didn’t know how to make a lot of the things listed for us to have during our stay, like drinks and snack options which we purchased the food for. But all in all she was great and completed her other jobs and did the best she could as a fill in. I would recommend this property a thousand times. It’s worth every penny spent.

This place was everything and MORE! Cris and Vivian were amazing and made our first trip to Costa Rica easy and unforgettable for my wife’s 50th. A beautiful luxurious house within walking distance to everything! I highly recommend!

Cabana de Playa was brilliant. Perfect location. So close to town and the beach. Cris and Vivian were so welcoming. House is perfect for a bunch of couples or large family. Roof top terrace was amazing at night. Great stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Cris and Vivi were the perfect team and welcomed us immediately during our stay! Having an onsite house keeper was a game changer and she was so kind! As far as the communication, Cris was EXCEPTIONAL! We started communicating months before our stay and she was so flexible with our changes and added trips that were required! I truly would love to stay at one of her properties again! The house was perfectly located and near the city with a quick Golf cart ride. ( highly recommended). Also with updated amenities and decor and a lovely pool to relax in, but all in all we enjoyed our stay in cabana de playa and can’t wait to make another trip back to Tamarindo! Thank you Cris and VIVI so much!!! You ladies were amazing ??

We had a wonderful stay at Cabana de Playa and would return for sure. The home had everything we needed and the staff and concierge were great and responsive. Anytime we had an issue, they addressed it quickly. Overall, a wonderful time.

We loved our stay! Christine was so helpful! We had booked a fishing trip and they canceled on us the night before because of electrical issues. Christine had an amazing fishing trip booked on a beautiful boat within minutes! She also hooked us up with a fantastic chef Juan Carlos. His food was superb! Perfect place to stay and perfect host! Pura Vida!

Outstanding location. Highly recommend this house.
We stayed with two families, and it was perfect for kids. The pool was excellent, and breakfast in the morning was an amazing bonus as well as laundry each day with kids was also a nice treat.
We saw a lot of wildlife, including birds and, one day, howler monkeys.
The setup is perfect for multiple families or groups. Would 100% stay here again.

Great place and great location!

The house was beautiful and exactly like the pictures. What made our stay so wonderful was Cris, our concierge, and our housekeeping staff. Cris was extremely responsive, well before and throughout our stay. She was very helpful in booking excursions and helping us find whatever we needed. The housekeepers were very nice and accommodating. Them making breakfast was a real treat. We rented a golf cart which made it easy to get to the store and town, although it was also walkable.

Stacey - Posted: 6/29/2024

Our stay at Playa de Cabana was amazing! House was perfect for a group of 12. Everyone had space to relax and enjoy and we really appreciated how close the house was to the town of Tamarindo and the beach (~10 min walk). Our concierge Cris was very responsive and helped us arrange group activities and transportation which wad a huge help. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit Costa Rica!

I’m not sure where to start nor how to even end my review on this amazing place. My family and I had such a wonderful time here and we all felt right at home. Christina and Vivian were amazing, from the checking in, every morning breakfast, sense of urgency with responses, my surprise birthday dinner, our excursions, car rides, everything was just so perfect. We even got to see the different type of monkeys in the trees, what a site to see. Every room had a bathroom which was a super plus for us, kitchen had all things needed even some seasonings. I can go on and on but I’ll end it with this…. If you’re looking for a comfortable place to stay pick this place we barely had to get a car rides to shop or party everything was walking distance or easy cab ride. I’m thankful for the pleasant stay and experience. Thanks so much Christina and Vivian for your amazing help and thanks to our chefs Dani, Mariam and GG. 10/10 Score!!!!

House was great! Very good for a large group. All bedrooms with own bathrooms. You can’t see the beach from the pool/deck, but can from the top roof terrace. Viviana the house mom was fabulous! Her food and services were incredible.

Paroma - Posted: 4/29/2024

Cris was an amazing host! She was easy to get a hold of, handled any issues we had, and helped with recommendations. She also coordinated transportation to and from the airport for all nine of us. The home was clean and comfortable and close to town, which made dining, the beach and shopping and everything else a breeze. I would definitely stay again!

The house is as described. It was beautifully appointed and the set up was perfect. The house is two mirror image units- so if you were traveling with two families and wanted to lock the door between the units for privacy you could. Both units open on to a beautiful sun deck and built in infinity pool. There are double chaise lounges, cushioned chairs, umbrellas, dining tables, and sun awnings (MUCH needed) as well as a grill. The communication with Stay in Tamarindo (property management group) could be easier, but with that said it wasn't bad, just not as quick or as organized as past vacations to other destinations. Some communication coming via email and other through What's App. Despite this, Cris, our concierge, ultimately handled our questions and scheduled some of our activities (we planned some others directly). More affordable to book directly, but convenient if they book and arrange transportation should you not have a car at your disposal. Cris did arrange round trip airport transfers and provided name of grocery stocking services and private chef services prior to our arrival- all were excellent! One note: we did order groceries ahead and chose the breakfast packages as the house includes a House Mom who will prepare breakfast, snacks, and smoothies and drinks if the groceries are provided. We had a lot of extra fruits, cereals, OJ, Milks etc- so maybe order a little less (we were a group of 9). Viv's guac & pico de Gallo were favorites!

The home was beautiful and in a great location. Cris arranged all our needs and made last-minute bookings for excursions and transfers for our large group during a busy tourist season. Everything was perfect. Thank you!!

House is five minute golf cart ride to beaches. Golf cart was fun and helpful. House is very nice with fence and digital locks and gates. A lot to do in Tamarindo. Restaurants expensive. Grocery expensive. Overall very fun.

John - Posted: 12/20/2023

Cabana de Playa was a fantastic stay. The house is immaculate (6 beds with individual baths). Each room has its own A/C. The house is newer and very clean. There’s an amazing rooftop terrace (was great for dinners and hanging out playing games). The plunge pool was great (serviced twice during our week stay). Plenty of lounging furniture. Two kitchens with everything you could need. Location to downtown was great. We walked everywhere we needed/wanted to go. No need for the golf carts.
Diego was our contact for our stay, he helped book transportation, excursions etc. Vivian is the house keeper. She is there Monday-Saturday (8a-4p), she makes breakfast for you, cleans, laundry. The days we had early excursions she came in early to make us breakfast.
Our highlight of the stay was having the private chef experience. Diana and her husband were phenomenal. We had them come out 2x and it was by far the best meals we had. There company is grillmaster506.

Our family had an amazing stay at this Tamarindo property. The location offered both convenience and privacy with stunning views. The house was impeccably clean and spacious. The pool deck was a highlight, used multiple times a day. Diego, the host, was responsive and quickly resolved any issues. The diligent housekeepers were a bonus. We unanimously agreed that if we return to Tamarindo, this is where we'll stay. Highly recommended for a fantastic and comfortable experience.

Stayed at Cabana De Playa. LOVED everything about it. The team was kind and helpful with all of our needs. Customer service is the best and I can’t say enough great things.

The housekeeper, Vivian and concierge, Diego was AWESOME!! We loved everything about cabana de playa. The place is exactly as pictured. I can’t wait to go back!

Casa Cabaña de Playa was even better than we expected from the pictures! The pool was amazing, and we loved the outdoor dining table. It was perfect for having a great time with family while cooking a tasty BBQ! The sun loungers were fantastic for waking up early and listening to birds and watching howler monkeys. The house had a beautiful, colorful design that we really liked. But the best part was the rooftop spot! We had a blast chilling there with the group, taking pictures, playing games, and just talking. The sunsets from there were breathtaking! The house's location was also great – close to everything in Tamarindo, but still peaceful and calm on a beautiful hill. We had an amazing time at Casa Cabaña de Playa, and we're already excited to return!
