I had an incredible stay at this vacation house last week! Elsa and Collin were absolutely amazing hosts. From the moment I booked, they helped me plan every detail of my trip and made sure everything went smoothly. They were extremely knowledgeable about the area and went above and beyond to accommodate my group, especially when a tropical storm came through. Collin did everything possible to ensure we were comfortable and safe during the storm, which I really appreciated.
The house itself was beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, offering a perfect balance of relaxation and comfort. One thing to note, though, is that the location is about 30 minutes from Tamarindo, so it’s essential to have transportation arranged, whether it's a rental car or a private driver. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I’d highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-catered getaway!Porshe - Posted: 11/15/2024
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and felt well taken care of during the storm. It was a pleasure to help with your planning. We also appreciate your note on the location, we agree that arranging transportation or renting a car is essential for exploring Tamarindo.
We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing vacation soon! ??Stay in Tamarindo staff

Casa Descanza - AMAZING
We could not be happier with our stay at Casa Descanza! We had a group of 12 between family and friends. The home is beautiful and just as advertised. Elsa is amazing and took care of everything, made recommendations, and reservations for anything we needed. Xiomara is incredible! She made over the top breakfasts every morning that you would have had to go to a buffet at a restaurant to have so many choices. Her smoothies are amazing too! She kept the home spotless as well! The pool and patio out back overlook the Hole 1 green, which is a nice bonus. Inside Hacienda Pinilla is great too with access to the JW Marriott and JW Beach Club, which are a short drive in the car or golf cart. We will definitely be back!

Located just a short drive from vibrant Tamarindo, this private home offered a serene retreat with a beautiful pool and spacious accommodations. Xiomara, the housekeeper, treated us to delicious Costa Rican breakfasts featuring homemade pico de gallo and guacamole. Elsa was incredibly helpful with transportation and excursion arrangements, making our stay effortless. Perfect for those seeking relaxation and local charm near Tamarindo. We even had monkeys in the front yard!Maria - Posted: 7/17/2024
Thank you for your review, Maria! We loved hosting you and your family :)Stay in Tamarindo staff

This was our first time staying in Tamarindo. We loved Hacienda Pinilla and especially Casa Descanza. The pool was used quite a bit to cool off. Our maid was incredible who prepared the most incredible Costa Rican meals. Overall it was “Pura Vida”.Greg - Posted: 6/17/2024

My group of 10 and I had an amazing stay to celebrate my 30th birthday. Elsa helped coordinate yoga at the air bnb as well as excursions and transportation throughout the stay. The home itself was even better than the pictures and grounds are stunning. The air bnb is nestled in a beautiful community. I would strongly consider renting golf carts or a car for transportation as Ubers are not the best in this area and are not always able to get through security despite prior authorization. Xiomara was fantastic and cooked the most an amazing breakfast and snacks. Elsa and Sam were very responsive and checked in on us throughout the stay. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely recommend staying here. I’ll be back!Jessica - Posted: 6/7/2024
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Jessica! We are very happy to hear you had a wonderful time celebration at Casa Descanza, and that the staff were there for you to have the best vacation. We totally agree with your recommendation, we always encourage our guests to rent a car to move around the area and go to Tamarindo town, as Ubers are quite new in the area (we can also arrange private transportation if it's requested ahead of time). We would love to host you back in the near future ? Pura VidaStay in Tamarindo staff

Let me just start by saying that Elsa was AMAZING even from the planning part. Elsa literally helped us plan everything from excursions to just rides we needed throughout the week we there. The house was amazing and the pool was such a vibe. Having someone that can also cook breakfast and tidy up the house daily was super nice. I would highly recommend this house and this company!Joshua - Posted: 5/24/2024

We loved out stay at Casa Descanza! Xiomara and Elsa were spectacular. The house mom helped us with breakfasts, and dips preparation, and delicious cocktails, and Elsa took care of our itinerary and recommendations. We only had to enjoy and relax, amazing!Erica - Posted: 4/13/2024

My family and I had the best time in Costa Rica. The house was amazing, the property was in perfect condition and the house was fully stocked with everything you could need.
The hosting team was extremely attentive. It was like having a private concierge. They helped us book several excursions and connected us with a chef and live music artist for several relaxing dinners at home around the pool.
I highly recommend Casa Descansa and this property management team. 5 stars!Simon - Posted: 2/14/2024

Beautiful place and very well appointed. Concierge services and daily in house cleaning/cooking was amazing! The only issue we had was a broken refrigerator but it was addressed quickly which was great. I would recommend the house have 4 bikes so that people could use them as they liked. Biking around that area would be so perfect! Also a few pool rafts would be a nice touch for lounging in the pool on this beautiful hot afternoons. All in all a great trip!Amy - Posted: 1/15/2024

Family Vacation
The house and property were amazing and spot on to the pictures! This was our first family vacation with the kids and grandkids and there was plenty of room for all 10 of us. I can’t say enough about this place and the amazing time we had. It was so magical. We had a great view of the golf course and giant red Macaws in the tree on the course. We had a family of monkeys come visit a few times in the trees in the front yard. There is so much to do on the property but some days we didn’t even leave the house it was so relaxing in the back yard by the pool. From the start of booking to the last day of our trip, our concierge Elsa was amazing. She helped us find a chef, photographer and helped navigate travel arrangements in the area and anything else we needed. We could not have done this trip with out her help. Also our housekeeper Xiomara….she was the perfect host. She made us amazing breakfasts and snacks and made sure we were taken care of throughout the day. She was so friendly and attentive to us all. I would definitely go back to this house if we can ever make it back to Costa Rica. The beaches near by were a bit rocky in some areas but still plenty of beachfront to enjoy a swim, boogie board or surf. Hacienda Panilla is quite large so definitely recommend a car or golf cart to get around. We had issues with the golf cart provider (not part of Hacienda Panilla) and our cart kept breaking down but as frustrating as it was we made some memories we will never forgetStacey C. - Posted: 1/1/2024

Elsa and Xiomara were absolutely fantastic. Elsa was responsive to all of our questions and requests, helping us set up excursions, dinners and any issues that came up. Xiomara ensured the house was super clean, breakfast was served and snacks were always available whenever we needed.
I absolutely loved the house and once the pool was clean, it was gorgeous to hang around and bask in the sun. I'd definitely stay here again and I'll recommend it to my friends.Keena - Posted: 12/18/2023

Terrific 50 Birthday Celebration
It was a wonderful place to reconnect with our dearest friends. The patio looks out toward a majestic tree with nesting red macaws. It was wonderful to wake up early and listen to various animals beginning their day. The pool was wonderful. But the most wonderful thing about the place is all the kind people who took care of us. The house keeper cooked wonderful breakfasts. Elsa helped coordinate some excursions and massages for nine people with patience and kindness. The driver and tour guides were knowledgeable and also very patient.Alexandra - Posted: 12/17/2023

Casa Descanza and the entire team was a dream come true to work with. Every detail was taken care of thanks to Elsa, Dani and the team. Every recommendation for attractions around the area was phenomenal. The house was gorgeous, clean and our group of 10 had a wonderful time. I cannot recommend this stay enough!Paige - Posted: 12/13/2023

Great stay. Elsa is an awesome concierge who helped us booked our rental cars, find local chefs and food, and find excursions. She was very quick to respond to all our messages. Xiomara was a great house mom. She made delicious breakfasts, did laundry and kept the house spotless every day. The pool and living spaces were beautiful.

Casa Descanza was like paradise the views were beautiful and the property was a hidden gem. I celebrated my mother’s 70th birthday and she had a wonderful time.

Pura Vida living at its best !
Casa Descanza is a wonderful villa overlooking the 1st green of Hacienda Pinilla Golf Club. The daily cook/housekeeper is a game changer. She prepared breakfast each morning with the groceries that we brought. She made the beds, did light wash and fixed our appetizers each afternoon before leaving. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is great. We spent most of our time around the pool, watching the golfers, grilling fish and looking at the birds including scarlet macaws. The concierge, Elsa, is very responsive and helpful. There are seasonal specials such as a half day fishing trip so be sure to ask. The house is a 10 minute drive to Playa Langosta which is beautiful and not overcrowded.Joe - Posted: 7/1/2023

Let me start by saying the villa is absolutely beautiful the pics doesn't do the property any justice, it is breathtaking in person. I traveled to Costa Rica to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. Our stay at Tamarindo was awesome I recommend renting a car to make travel more accessible. Elsa and Xiomara were the absolute BEST, their customer service was stellar and any minor issues were resolved within a timely manner. I highly recommend staying at this property if you want to experience the beautiful views that CR has to offer. LCLatema - Posted: 6/30/2023

Xiomara was so wonderful! The house was beautiful and very well kept. You will absolutely need some form of transportation to stay at this house. We had a golf cart and two cars for a family of 9.Niki - Posted: 6/17/2023
Thank you for your nice review, Niki, and for emphasize on the recommendation of having transportation. We always try to recommend our guests to rent a vehicle so they will have more flexibility and freedom to move around the area, and the concierge can gladly assist with the different options! We are happy to know you had a great time at Casa Descanza. Pura Vida :)Stay in Tamarindo staff

Booked for my girlfriend 30th Birthday. It was exactly as the description listed on the airbnb. The backyard was best part but overall the entire house was super spacious. The benefit was having a bathroom in each room. Elsa was the one that helped get us setup with everything prior. From booking cars, atvs, massages, which saved a lot of time for us to do research. I would def book here again.Kyle - Posted: 6/14/2023

Thank you so much for helping us have a great vacation in Costa Rica!
This “Stay in Tamarindo” estate was absolutely wonderful and the best place to stay for vacation in the Tamarindo area. The place is exactly as pictured and so spacious, even for a group of 12. (Of note, there is actually a small half bathroom on the first floor which is great for the individuals who have the bedroom with no ensuite bathroom) Xiomara was the best ‘house-mom’ for the group! She came from 8-4pm every day to cook our group the most delicious breakfast and did light cleaning in all of the rooms! The best addition to our vacation. Lastly, Elsa was the best concierge! I spent months prior in contact with her planning this group vacation. She had answers to all my questions. Excursions, transportation, golf carts, hiring chefs, pre-stocking food, getting downtown - she handled it all! When we arrived, she was very responsive to any issues/questions and made the vacation seamless. Our group had a fantastic time and hope to be back to visit soon!Janine - Posted: 5/12/2023

Second short stay in Descanza for me. I appreciate the changements in the decoration. Good plan to have decided to add a fifth room. It’s comfortable to have the choice between two different terraces. Most of all it’s a pleasure to see Xiomara: she is smiling and seems happy to work in the house she is attentive and sees immediately what must be done.Marie-Odile - Posted: 2/22/2023

Family vacation
The house was perfect! It was big enough for all of us to have our own rooms (5 main bedrooms plus a small additional room with a single bed). Internet worked really well, which was important for us as some needed to work while we were there. It was so clean and modern. The outdoor living space with the pool was amazing. We were outside so much! If you got too hot, there was A/C in all of the rooms, so you could control the temperature of each room. Plus the outdoor space had blinds and ceiling fans if it got too sunny or hot. We cooked a few nights but enjoyed exploring the fantastic local restaurants (most of which were an 8-10 minute drive). Elsa, our contact at "Stay in Tamarindo" (who rents the house) was amazing. If there were any problems or questions, she responded extremely quickly. She also organized a couple of day trips for us which took the stress away from trying to do the research ourselves. What we didn't realize when we booked the rental was that there is someone there during the days who tidies the house and also cooks the most fabulous breakfasts (we provided the food). Xiomara was the kindest person and an amazing cook. She was truly an amazing person! She was so quiet that we didn't even realize that she was there. This house was amazing as was our experience with Stay In Tamarindo!Melissa - Posted: 12/21/2022
