This house is perfectly located near beautiful Playa Langosta away from the hectic feel of Tamarindo, yet close enough to enjoy the city if you choose. 8 of us stayed at the property in perfect comfort. The kitchen is well stocked, the bbq is great, the pool is a perfect way to cool off, and the lovely trees all over the yard make it a tropical paradise. There are two large sitting areas to enjoy outdoor meals. Prince, the cat, is a gem. We had a few logistical/maintenance issues including a major light fixture burned out, a washing machine that doesn't really work (but we weren't told this), a blocked shower drain, and too early cleaning service on the day we were leaving. As soon as we reported the maintenance issues, they were fixed immediately except the washing machine, but we managed. If you go, know that the ice maker does not work, so buy bags of ice and we added 2 ice cube trays to the property for future renters. Also set your expectations that the hot tub is not hot - it's just a nice way to soak in the warm nights or have some jets on your back. Personally, our family and guests found the main room very dark, so hanging out there at night was hard, but we spent most of the time outside and one could read in some of the bedrooms. Enjoy this property, it is really a great vacation house.
