Awesome place!! Highly recommend!! As another review stated: even better in person!!

Katie - Posted: 10/13/2024

WOW! What a wonderful experience. Beautiful home. The view was nothing short of spectacular. Relaxing in the infinity pool in the evenings was a trip highlight. One night there were fireworks in the town below, it seemed that they were just for us. The host, Adriana, and the staff were top notch. Thank you Hillary for the breakfasts and snacks. Will definitely return in the future.

Unbelievable vacation with our entire family. Our ocean view from the home was spectacular!

Sadie - Posted: 8/26/2024

Casa Ventana is an awesome spot with breathtaking scenery above Tamarindo. Great for a family vacation and Adriana was extremely responsive and accommodating. Would definitely recommend if you are traveling to the area!

Our stay was by far one of the best experiences ever! Everything about the place was beautiful! The view was amazing! Our host! Our drivers and the concierge were amazing. If you’re thinking of booking! Stop thinking and DO IT! You won’t regret it ?.

Robin - Posted: 7/15/2024

We enjoyed our stay! Very clean home with everything we needed, we especially loved the terrace and the pool for its amazing views. Adriana was a wonderful host and helped us plan numerous adventures. We would definitely stay here again!

Leyonda - Posted: 7/8/2024

Casa Ventana is one of a kind place. Overlooking the ocean everyday was amazing. Hillary's food preparation was incredible and we certainly will come back and stay at this lovely house.

Tabitha - Posted: 6/24/2024

This home was absolutely gorgeous! It was so nice to relax and unwind after spending the first half of our vacation in the rainforest full of adventure. The pool and bbq area was perfect for nights that we made dinner. Love that we all had our own rooms with bathrooms in each. Adriana was very responsive to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this home I Tamarindo!

Jonna - Posted: 6/19/2024

This property is exactly as advertised. The property was clean. The view was amazing. It is in a great location and a quiet neighborhood with a guard at the front gate. They were strict on who the allowed to enter the neighborhood. So I felt it was very safe. The host was in constant contact, and answered all questions I had.

Corin R. - Posted: 6/18/2024

Pictures do not do this property justice ! Absolutely gorgeous inside and out. fully spacious and has all the amenities you need.
the walk to get to the villa from the main road is a bit of a challenge but with a car or Uber it is very accessible.
Rooms are perfect and homely, we loved our stay here.

Everyone: rarely & I mean RARELY do you find a place FAR BETTER in reality than photos! We are a family of 8, 5 adults and 3 grandchildren from NY down here for Presidents week school vacation time & this outstanding home, its architect & design (farm ranch with an upstairs master suite, its quality appointments, its top notch amenities & furnishings was so in tune with our lifestyle, so much so we really felt at home! Then location, location, location with ease of access to all the remarkable things Tamarindo has to offer (beaches, sport fishing, waterfalls, hikes & enjoying sunsets and moon beams from our many porches (all properly facing the Pacific) was so over the top, it truly was hard to leave today!

Shawn - Posted: 1/3/2024

Our family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. The home is close to everything yet a world away in terms of serenity and vistas. If you plan to walk everywhere, note that it is a steep hill climb from the beach area. Very doable if you are in good shape. Otherwise, you will need a car. The home is exactly as advertised and the daily breakfast service was a nice amenity.

Tudo perfeito! Casa muito boa, anfitriões excelentes. O serviço de café da manhã muito bom. A Cris (concierge) muito pró ativa, respondia rapidamente e nos ajudou com tudo que precisamos. Contratamos massagista e elas eram muito boas. A Adriana também, uma co-anfitriã excelente. Valeu muito a pena! Recomendo

Manuela - Posted: 6/11/2023

We had a great stay at Casa Ventana. With a large group of 9 women, the house was spacious with more than enough bedrooms, bathrooms, and a large kitchen and outdoor grilling space for cooking. It has an amazing view of the beach, and gorgeous sunsets. It’s in a great location, ten minute walk down into town, and in a safe location. Highly recommend and would return again!

Haley - Posted: 5/16/2023

We had a great time! Everything in the house worked. Place was clean. View was great.

Kielan - Posted: 5/4/2023

We were two families traveling together with four teen boys. The house is in a great location (gated community across from beach) with plenty of room for the 8 of us. We worked with Cris at Stay in Tamarindo for renting UTVs, fishing, Catamaran and boat charter. She also booked a terrific private chef. Cris was fantastic and we had the best time. Anything we needed she handled, including last minute requests. Renting a UTV was great because the house is on a steep hill (needed for views! Sunset is breathtaking.) The breakfasts were fantastic (the housekeeper will cook for you.) The upstairs bedroom is a little warm (but we just closed the shades when we ran the AC.) This was such a wonderful trip!

Gretchen - Posted: 4/9/2023

Our two families had a wonderful stay at Casa Ventana. Beautiful views, great pool, and easy access to Tamarindo/beach.

Beautiful property in a wonderful location. Convenience to Tamarindo a big plus. Liked the security the development, El Tesoro. Management company was responsive and helpful.

Jeffrey - Posted: 3/8/2023

The layout of this home was great for our 6-person family group. The 3 en suite bedrooms directly off the pool deck and a large upstairs bedroom with separate terrace are spacious and well laid out (we didn't use the 5th “no view” bedroom). We loved the breakfasts prepared by Daniela and appreciated the mid-week cleaning. As other reviewers note, the home is located at the top of a very steep hill - several family members did walk down to the beach and into town a few times during our stay; the walk down is easy and pleasant and the walk up is a good way to work off the big breakfast. We had a rental car and it's definitely tricky to turn around in the driveway (also, parking in town is its own challenge). Still, we were glad to have a car for quick runs to the nearby Auto Mercado and for day trips. Overall, the home and pool are well maintained and well managed and the team at Stay in Tamarindo is responsive and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely work with them again.

P - Posted: 3/8/2023

Beautiful setting and house in Costa Rica. Very secure neighborhood with walking access to Tamarindo and beach. Great house for several couples or a family get together. Outdoor area is perfect for relaxing, catching up with friends, watching the sunset or watching the beach from the infinity pool.

Curt - Posted: 3/6/2023

Great house with an amazing view of ocean and beach. Perfect vacation house for 4 couples or a large family. Great access to Tamarindo in a very secure neighborhood.

Curt - Posted: 3/4/2023

We were 5 friends staying in this beautiful home, beautiful as advertised. This company (especially Adriana) is great to work with. She responded promptly, even on a sunday when our fridge stopped working….and had a replacement there by the end of the day. Impressive! You can definitely walk to the beach but you would think twice about ‘running back because I forgot something’. We LOVED the hills to the house for morning hikes/work outs but did comment that young children, elderly and people who aren’t fit would need a car. The infinity pool is simply the perfect place from which to watch the sunset. CR sunsets are stunning! We were there in Feb/23…definitely very hot in the afternoons (need sandals to walk in the hot beach sand) …..again, a good time to float in the pool! 4 of the 5 bedrooms face the pool with ensuite and deck. The house is fully air conditioned. No bugs. We hired a yoga teacher (Johanna) for 3 mornings, a chef for one night and we had the staff make breakfast one morning. Cris, the concierge, will help with anything you need. We ate all other dinners in beach side restaurants (no need for reservations). Check out The Red Door restaurant, beach side, near the entrance to the subdivision. Delicious food and cocktails! Our 4th time to Tamarindo and we will be back. Thank you Stay in Tamarindo for taking such good care of us. Pura Vida!

The 3 en suite bedrooms directly off the pool deck and a large upstairs bedroom with separate terrace are spacious and well laid out (we didn’t use the 5th “no view” bedroom). We had some difficulty with the water temperature in a couple of the bathrooms, but once we realized the handle needed to be turned in the opposite direction from a normal setup, all was well. There’s also some finesse required to get the grill to light, but these were both very minor issues to which the property manager responded quickly. We loved the breakfasts prepared by Daniela and appreciated the mid-week cleaning.

The view was even better in person. The layout of the home was spacious and ideal for our family of seven. Everything in the home was in working condition. It is worth noting that although the home is in close enough proximity to the beach and some of the shops and restaurants in Tamarindo such that one could walk, walking entails going up steep inclines to get to the elevated home that could cause a problem for someone not in great physical condition.

D J P. - Posted: 7/4/2022

The home itself surprised on the upside from the way it was represented on VRBO - amazing views (including from 4 of the 5 bedrooms) with everything in good working order. The home is in close proximity to the beach and some of the shops and restaurants in Tamarindo. Although it is technically within walking distance, it is worth noting the walk entails a steep incline to get up to the elevation where the home is situated and may be a challenge for those not in the best of conditioning (especially after a few glasses of wine at dinner).

The property was described precisely as it is. Beautiful home with great bedrooms, four of which looked out over the panoramic vista of ocean and lush foliage. The infinity pool was a great place for us all to hang out with its ample seating and the views were wonderful. We highly recommend this property. Also everyone from the front gate people to the house staff and groundskeepers were very friendly. And Adriana and Cris always answered promptly if we had any questions.

We booked a last minute trip to Tamarindo to escape the winter cold and lockdown with our three kids. The house was perfect - we woke up with a morning swim followed bya fantastic breakfast prepared by the kind staff. Views were absolutely amazing, especially at sunset. Great house, convenient location.

Our group of 9 friends stayed at Casa Ventana and had an amazing time. The breakfast was amazing, the views unreal, and the layout of the house was perfect for a Costa Rican trip. As many of the other reviews warn, the hill getting up to the house is pretty steep. We tried to rent a golf cart (not through the concierge) and all of the places said the battery would likely burnout. We ended up splurging for the Polaris (dune buggy) but could have done fine with calling a taxi / Uber each time we wanted to go to the beach. The Polaris did offer plenty of freedom for when we wanted to leave.

Christopher - Posted: 8/30/2021

The house, views, and team of staff were amazing. We could not have asked for a more ideal house for our group of 9 late 20 year olds. As many of the reviews have mentioned, the hill to the house is pretty steep but adds to the amazing view. Highly recommend renting a Polaris (many of the rental shops said a golf cart would "burn out" going up the hill) or expect to call a cab / Uber to get you back up.

Christopher P. - Posted: 8/30/2021

Thank you for your comment Christopher, we are happy you and your group had a great time in Casa Ventana! You are right, we always recommend to rent a car for the hill, but the view is worth it ;) We hope to see you back soon !

The most AMAZING sunsets ever!! It was very clean and was stocked with everything you could need.

My group had an incredible experience staying in the Ocean views house in Tamarindo. Adriana and Christina were both super helpful with all logistics and helping us with whatever we needed.
The check in process was very easy and the house was clean upon arrival. Everything was as pictured, and the house came with essentials including towels, kitchen utensils, A/C, etc.
We will definitely be staying here again the next time we come to Costa Rica. I highly recommend this specific unit and the hosts.

This was our second trip to Casa Ventana and it was even better than the last time! This house is meticulously thought out. The kitchen is stocked with all the gear you need for a large group to prepare meals. The layout of the house affords a lot of privacy and comfort while also having plenty of space to hang out and socialize. The views are STUNNING. I could watch the sunset every day for the rest of my life from that infinity pool and be completely happy. It's so close to the grocery store for quick food/alcohol runs and steps from the town. Our favourite walk every day was to walk from the house down the beach and then back through town. We have actually sworn off staying at any other rental house when we travel because Casa Ventana set the bar so high that we can't accept anything less. Highly recommend this house, you won't regret it! We'll be back! -- Gabe G

The house was wonderful! We enjoyed how well the house was placed on the hillside, we had a gorgeous vista of the ocean. The staff was very accommodating when we brought up a concern. We loved the breakfast that was included so much that we decided to have someone cook our dinners a few nights. The home is comfortable and tastefully decorated. All five couples loved being there and their own bath. Thanks Vacation Tamarindo!

Beautiful house. Loved the spacious rooms with the en-suite bathrooms. We went for a bachelorette party with 9 girls and had an amazing time. The breakfast was very good and we booked activities and the chef through the concierge services which were great. Definitely recommend staying here. Be sure to rent a gold cart for driving up the hills. Location excellent, plenty of towels and very clean!

The house is AMAZING and comes complete with everything you need for an amazing vacation. The breakfast service is wonderful and it’s great to have the house cleaned a bit mid-stay. Huge Shot Out to Cris- the concierge/ property manager who took amazing care of us during our stay and prior helping us get everything set up. From transportation, massages, to fishing, to golf cart rentals- she creates a FIRST class experience. She was incredible to work with and always followed up and was there even through out our stay. She is probably the best part of the experience. We appreciated everything she did for us. One thing I would let the cleaning crew know- is to not swap someone’s laundry. My clothes were swapped and unfortunately most of my clothes air dry and will shrink in the dryer. A few items were shrunk and now I cannot wear them- but everything else was so amazing I can totally look past those things. It really was such an amazing stay in an amazing country!

Kate R. - Posted: 8/10/2019

Casa Ventana is Tamarindo perfection! The home is amazing with phenomenal views and service. Our family of 5 celebrated my 50th birthday here and it exceeded our expectations. Andrea communicated and supported us efficiently and effectively. Our activities concierge, Christina, lined up our golf cart rental, zip line tour and kayaking in the estuary excursion. She also connected us with an amazing chef who cooked dinner for us one evening - another huge hit with our family. The daily breakfast prepared in our home consisted of local fare and fresh fruit and was a treat kicking off each day. Our entire Casa Ventana experience was unforgettable and kicked off my 50’s magnificently!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow- we had an incredible, last minute stay at this property. It is actually better in person than it is in the photos!!!! The porch is covered and there are lounge chairs on the patio (not shown in the photos). This house made our trip so special. It was INCREDIBLE!!!!! The biggest perk was not having to worry about a THING! The booking staff took care of everything. You could literary show up here and have the gals plan your trip from excursions, to private dinners, restaurant recommendations, airport transfers, etc. It was carefree. No research needed- the will do it better than you can! The house was stunning, stunning, stunning. Plain and simple. It felt like a real treat to be there. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach, yet the location gets you out of the hustle and bustle. Walking down the hill to Panga a real treat. View can not be beat. Any issue we had was immediately fixed (dishwasher not working bc a fuse blew but we could not find it- fixed within minutes). Cleaning staff a treat.. It as so memorable. Sunsets on the patio....we hope to return. This really was a perfect and once in a lifetime rental. THANK YOU!!!

We came to the house for a girls trip (50th birthday) and had the most amazing experience. Everything about the house was perfect from the decor to the location, the amenities, the pool and the amazing breakfasts cooked every morning. We did not have one single issue and we all slept like babies every night. We were also overjoyed by all the help the concierge gave us planning local excursions and a rental car. Every one of us will be back to the house again in the near future.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I read the reviews before choosing this home and every single positive review doesn't begin to give this property justice. The pictures can't depict the amazing views, where an entire wall of the house pushes open to ocean breeze and panoramic views of Tamarindo and the sea. Or the master shower having frosted glass in *just the right places* and clear views otherwise to allow you to watch the ocean waves. The hill to the top is walkable for the aerobic type, but the golf cart rental was clutch and we cruised around town in compete comfort---$55/day got us a golf car OR a 4 wheel drive rental car similar in size to a murano in the USA. The AC is EFFICIENT and works VERY well. The wifi is awesome and the kitchen is extremely well stocked. The breakfast that comes with the chef each morning is enough to make you gain 10 lbs on the trip and not care one bit. They helped us coordinate everything: shuttles from San Jose, tours, in town local recommendations, where to take our 20 yellowfin tuna that we caught and have them cooked in town!!!!!...the pool was absolutely perfect for the kids and was only "in the shadows" until about 10 am (the sun rises behind the house and sets in front of it). So, sunlovers aren't scorned and the sunsets are mindblowing. It's in a guarded gated community (though Tamarindo is super safe...and I'm a hyper-protective traveler with two toddlers). No worries if you don't speak Spanish--this home has service that is very proficient in English and can answer all your questions clearly. A few expected problems occurred when we hunkered down for an insane night storm that beat up the hillside homes, but they were promptly fixed by 10 am the next morning. I literally can't write a review more positively on a property, unless perhaps I wrote it in all caps so I could show you I was SHOUTING OUT HOW AMAZING IT REALLY WAS!!! (and frankly, that would just annoy us all). Beds were super comfy, too. Stop scrolling and just rent this home.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A group of 10 girlfriends stayed at Casa Ventana at the end of August and we had an amazing time. The house layout is perfect for a large group giving everyone comfort an privacy, but yet the common areas are intimate and perfect for entertaining. Everything is well-maintained and the breakfast provided is a plus that we very much appreciated. The view from the house is simply paradise! The house is in a very safe location and is convenient to many beaches and attractions the area has to offer. We use the concierge services provided to book transportation and some activities and were very pleased with the service of both the concierge and the tour operators. I recommend you either rent a golf cart or car to move around the area to make the best of your vacation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We travelled with a large group and it was just perfect for us. The pool was the kids favourite, of course. Every room had it’s own AC and washroom which was really nice. Having a laundry room was a huge help too. The highlight of the house is having the joy of watching the breathtaking sunset over the ocean every single evening. What a stunning view! Marina came every morning and cooked us a delicious breakfast and cleaned the house. Her eggs were always perfect. You’ll need a car for sure if you plan on leaving the house. The hill up to the house is really long and steep, it’s tiring to walk up especially for young kids. The location is convenient as it’s very close to the biggest grocery store and the town of Tamarindo. We would definitely go back in a heart beat! Miss it already!

Thank you Heidi for your glowing review! We are so happy you feel well taken care of at "a home away from home" during your relaxing time off. Mariana is a Gem ;) we 'll make sure to let her know you loved her food and her services. We hope to greet you back here very soon! Pura Vida.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this house for our small destination wedding in Tamarindo and it was absolutely perfect! The layout of the home provided plenty of privacy for our guests-it was almost like having our own private hotel. The staff who maintained the property were friendly and took great care of the property. The location is convenient to town (though the hill up to the house is quite steep), and the pool area is the perfect hang out spot and offers amazing views of the ocean and Tamarindo. Would absolutely recommend to a friend, and hope to come back in the future.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Two families shared this beautiful home overlooking the Pacific. We had 4 adults with five children. With plenty of space and the outdoor patio area there was always a place to seek a little quiet time. The breakfast offered was a nice highlight to the vacation. This was a great time to get the whole group together to enjoy a cultural style breakfast before the day began. We did several activities which added to our stay in Tamarindo. I'd highly recommend a golf cart to access the town, restaurants, and beach-made life a lot easier. We miss the area already but are still enjoying the coffee.

Thank you Chris!! We're very happy to know you had a great experience! Oh yes, that breakfast and a cup of coffee is the best way to begin the day! :-) Hope you guys make it back soon!!

This is the perfect place for a family vacation. Let me recommend "stay in tamarindo" concierge service to get golf carts to travel back and forth to town. The home is emmaculate. More than you could ask for.

I stayed for a week with my fiance at this gorgeous house the first week of May. The house was even more beautiful in person than pictures. Our favorite part by far was the view. The view you get of the beach and ocean are incredible to say the least. You are extremely close to all the restaurants, shops, and even a grocery store called Auto Mercado which is super convenient. We rented a car for the week but ended up just parking it at the bottom of the hill and walking into town (it'sTHAT close). The staff that will help you are amazing. Everyone at the front office is super helpful and I'd like to give a huge special shout out to Cristina who suggested and booked all of our activities for the week. We highly recommend the sunset cruise and the ATV tour. Maria came by each morning and made an amazing breakfast that included eggs, fruit, pancakes, rice and beans, OJ, coffee, and more. We loved this house over all and would definitely return.

Matt S. - Posted: 5/21/2016

I stayed in Ventana with a group of friends and had the most relaxing, fun stay. We absolutely loved the house, it was spotless and very comfortable. Having breakfast cooked by Maribel every morning was great! We really enjoyed making a BBQ for lunch and watching the sunset from the pool! The property management company was very helpful and responsive, Cristina set us up with a great surf instructor and a very fun zip line tour, we are very much looking forward to our next trip!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house. Everything was near perfection with the following minor exceptions. 5th bedroom feels like a cave with limited windows and sunlight. Two bedrooms people said they had issues getting hot water in their shower. The 1/2 bath in front of house had issue with sewer odor. We rarely used it because of this. Staff came out to fix it but the odor returned after the first use of the bathroom. Faulty trap design or something. Little further from town than I would have hoped but still not bad. Would recommend the house add an umbrella of some sort for the afternoon sun. After 1pm you COOKED with no shade options outside. Those issues being said the house was amazing. Great pool. Amazing views. 4 bedrooms being very nice and great views and light. Kitchen was perfect. The breakfast was so great. Spoiled me for all future trips. Really would consider the house again. It was that good. And we NEVER repeat stay in hotel/houses/destinations.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This a beautiful new property. The design and location of the house was perfect for our family of 11 people of ages 10 to 75. View of the Pacific is outstanding and the house is conveniently located to the beach, restaurants and shops. The Costa Rica breakfast each morning was a treat and real plus. The Staff was very helpful, special acknowledgement should be given to Cristina Gonzalez and Fey Clercx for all their help with tours, transportation and restaurant reservations. A great stay and great time. We highly recommend! (PS. tell Costa Rica to change their exit tax payment procedure. Makes departure by Airplane a nightmare! 1hour + long lines many people caused to miss flights).
