First time thereâŠâŠand we are going back next year! We love the condo and location to the town and beachâŠ.so close to everything! Our experience at this condo was a very good oneâŒ
Great experience. Manager was incredibly responsive when air conditioner broke. Unit is on the 2nd floor. Nice location but more like an 8-10 minute dirt road with 2 hills walk to the beach. Close to fun beaches and delicious restaurants. Listing says only 1 bathroom, but there are 3 full bathrooms.
This condo was the perfect size for the six of us. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, we were never walking on top of each other. The kitchen was big enough to prepare meals (which we didnât use as often as we should). However, the place we liked best was the balcony. We spent early mornings and evenings watching the monkeys and enjoying the breezes on the balcony.
Although the beach was a little further than expected, we didnât mind the walkâ the condo was worth it. I also liked the safety of having it gated with a security guard.
We would definitely stay here again.
This condo unit has a second floor balcony that faces the ocean and the sunsets. The entire place has comfortable beds & furniture and being on the second floor easy access via stairs or of course, the elevator. The unit could use some maintenance but nothing beyond cosmetic. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, plates, drinking glasses and cooking utensils. The host was very responsive and showed us that she cared about our experience.
The 2nd floor balcony was luxurious, comfortable and lovely for our group of 6 to enjoy. The condo was spacious with separate bathrooms for each bedroom and excellent communal spaces. We loved our stay in Tamarindo! Thank you.
Stayed seven nights.
Pros: Bright, airy, and spacious. Very comfortable beds. Kitchen was excellent. Washer & dryer. Safe and quiet. Beautiful grounds. Nice gym, pool, and BBQ area. Enjoyed the sunsets and howler monkeys from the balcony. Good location, except see below.
Cons: Condo needs maintenance and upkeep. Texture peeling off walls, cabinet trim falling off, a doorknob falling off. Nightstand lamp broken and stored in closet. Cleanliness issues. Buildup on glass shower enclosure and tile in master and hairball from another guest still in shower. Manager sent a maid and she still did not clean the hair. Other guests' hair had been moped into the bathroom floor. White water stains on refrigerator door. Refrigerator water filter indicator light flashing. The couch had large gross, stains down the side. I notified property manager and owner.
The manager was difficult to reach and slow to respond. By the time he responded, I usually had fixed the problem. I called the owner who was polite and responsive about the WiFi being out.
If the cleanliness and manager responsiveness issues are resolved, I highly recommend staying here.
Expedia advertises the property as a 1-minute walk from the beach. It is NOT. It is 500M and a 5-7-minute hilly walk, which was fine but it should not be advertised as a 1-minute walk.
There are multiple units for rent in this complex. Before booking this one, check out laperlatamarindo dotcom for your options.

This place was perfect and just like the pictures.We had 4 adults and plenty of space to spread out. A large open concept kitchen and living room to enjoy. It has a well stocked kitchen which we used to cook breakfast and then walked into Tamarindo most nights for supper. We watch the amazing sunsets down on the beach and enjoyed walking around town and then back to the condo to conclude our evenings. The balcony was a favorite and a perfect to sit on and enjoy the view and the warm weather. The pool is a short walk and is very nice to hang out also. A nice barbecue area is at the pool which we didnât use but is available to guest. Antonio was easy to communicate with, WhatsApp is the best form of communication, and came by to check on us and see if anything we needed. Condo was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
We also used a private tour guide that can be found on instagram @
herson_segura03 and highly recommend. We did a tour to the waterfalls and it was great. He speaks fluent English and knows the area and people. He set everything up for us and then stayed with us the whole day. We definitely use him again. My first trip was great and hope to go back again soon.
This place was awesome. The condo was super clean and comfy. It has a big jacuzzi that's perfect after a long day having fun. The beach is walking distance, it's not beachfront but the walk is not long at all, I would say 7-10 minutes. All that being said, I would definitely book this place again!
Condo had three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large living room, dining area and great kitchen, full stocked to cook in. The beds were great. Everything was very well decorated and comfortable. The A/C in the queen bedroom wasn't working but our property manager sent someone out every day trying to fix it. Gated community, secure parking, 7 minute walk to the beach, really great pool and gym and very spacious condo. We were traveling with my family of 5, my brothers family of 3 and my mom as a family reunion (group of 9). The master bedroom and bath were larger than a normal apartment on its own, it had a pull out queen and fit our family of comfortably. Had a lovely stay and would recommend anyone to stay there.
Loved the location--easy access without noise of people or cars. Nice size pool that was clean, had wifi, & was easily accessible. Condo unit is very spacious, full of light, & has great beds. It was tidy when we arrived, but not clean to a "luxury" standard (e.g. ants in kitchen--someone did not close sugar jar properly; damp towels in linen cabinet--smelled like mildew; living room carpet needed thorough vacuum due to pet hair). Antonio, the property manager, was very friendly & accommodating, & the owner appeared to be as well, until she stopped communicating with us on day 4 of our week-long stay. The morning after our arrival, we promptly reported the above mentioned concerns & stated that we were not writing to complain but making her aware so she could address as needed (we had already cleaned kitchen to get rid of ants & rewashed towels). Later that day contacted owner to report master bedroom AC was not working & cable was giving an error code. She responded with reset instructions & when I expressed that still did not work she said she would have Antonio take a look. Antonio made multiple efforts to address the AC issue himself & with repair technicians. Each time, the problem would be fixed for a few hours & then, before evening, it would return to not working properly. On days 3 & 4 repair technicians were in condo working on AC. At end of day 4 we reached out to let owner know that AC still did not work but we would get by without as we didn't want to spend any more of our vacation trying to address something that clearly needed a more thorough fix. At this point the owner stopped communicating. On the morning of our last day, we reached out to confirm check-out expectations as VRBO listing only stated to "leave keys in condo" & we received no response from owner. Antonio did reply to our check-out questions. Upon returning home, we reached out to owner again, asking if she would consider a one day refund due to AC issue & lack of cable--still no response. Note--in our initial communication with owner, we stated that we were not sure if we were to communicate issues to her or directly to Antonio. Since that designation was never addressed, we continued to keep the owner informed throughout our stay. If she would have asked us to communicate directly with Antonio, we would not have messaged her during the trip. Contacted VRBO support--they stated they would send owner an email stating that we are trying to contact her. Still nothing.
My group and I had an awesome time at this condo. The main living area was more than large enough to accommodate everyone without anyone feeling like they were on the outskirts of the conversations. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all decent sizes. There are balconies off of every bedroom and the kitchen, however, seatingâs only available off the kitchen patio. It doesnât take away from the views at all. The pool was nice. I didnât use the gym but some equipment had been installed. The only drawback to staying here is that it is not on the main strip. It was about a 15-20 minute brisk walk from the condo to Walterâs and back. Itâs not an issue if youâre athletic but after a long day of excursions, itâs one more thing to tire you out. Youâll sleep well. I rented a car from San Jose Airport, itâs a 4-5 hour drive because the speed limit is between 35-55mph the whole way on mostly 2-lane highways and roads. All in all, it was an excellent trip and I will definitely book again!!!
The condo was very clean, spacious, and has a well-equipped kitchen that made meal preparation easy. There is air conditioning in every bedroom and living room/kitchen which was refreshing after coming in from hot temperatures outside. The shared pool was clean and kept at the perfect temperature. The condo is within a convenient walking distance to the beach and all of the downtown restaurants and shops, so a rental car is not needed if you plan to stay in Tamarindo. We enjoyed watching the howler monkeys in the trees across the street from the deck while drinking our morning coffee.
Overall, were very comfortable during our stay and highly recommend staying at this condo!
We really enjoyed the apartment. It had everything we needed. It was a perfect amount of space for a family of 5. The location is great. Itâs just a short walk to the quieter end of the beach and easy access to all Tamarindo has to offer. Antonio was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.
Connie was a fantastic host and we loved this location. This was our fist trip to Costa Rica and Tamarindo is a great place to visit. The condo was a short walk to the beach and the main road to shops, restaurants, bars, etc...
The check in process was easy and Antonio was very responsive to our communications. He also lives onsite so we bumped into him a few times throughout our stay and he was always fun to talk to.
The parking spot was very nice as we opted to walk while in Tamarindo, but also had several day trips planned which required us to have a car for the week.
While we did not cook much, (this is vacation!), the condo was well equipped with everything you would need to prepare and serve any sort of meal. We spent every morning enjoying coffee on the open air veranda and loved every moment.
The condo was clean and very well maintained with NO complaints from any of our family.
Thank you Connie for a wonderful experience!
The whole 2 week trip was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone for a getaway. Connie was a pleasure to deal with and the whole process was smooth and easy. Thanks to everyone and VRBO for our family holiday.
Was in Tamarindo for a wedding, and this property was perfect. It was clean, well appointed, well managed, secure, and spacious. Decks from every room give you a look at the ocean and beautiful breezes. Inside, there is everything you need, whether you are there for a couple nights or a weeklong stay. There were a few minor mechanical issues that the owner is having addressed, but they were very minor and a fact of life in a country like Costa Rica. The only thing that could have made our stay better is if we had better understood the distance to the beach and other parts of town. It's not far and a relatively easy walk, but reserving a golf cart early would have been wise. I'll do that next time, and this condo will be perfect.
Just incredible! You are close enough to the action in Tamarindo that you can quickly walk to anything, but get to stay in your own private relaxed sanctuary. The place was just perfect for our active family of 5.
The property was perfect for a short stay; pool, bbq area all very clean. Thanks to Antonio for working with us since the flights were delayed by a day. Will come back
This was my 2nd time to Tamarindo. I went for a birthday trip with 6 of my friends and it was plenty of space for all of us. The condo was very nice and had everything we needed. The location is perfect, just a short walk into town (but we we rented a golf cart for the week) and not noisy at night. We felt safe, the staff was very friendly, and the location was great! Definitely would stay here again! Can't wait to come back!
We stayed from March 23 - April 3, 2019. Connie was very friendly to deal with in advance of our stay and answered all of our questions and more. She even provided suggestions on transfers from the Liberia airport. Once arriving, we were met by Antonio who provided a thorough walk-through and answered any other questions that came up. He was exceptionally friendly and very responsive if we needed anything throughout our stay.
The condo was beautiful and as-advertised. Spacious, clean, comfortable beds and nice furniture. The kitchen had everything we needed. The views from the balconies were incredible and we were even treated to some howler monkeys a few times. The pool and BBQ area were quiet and clean. And the observation deck was a great vantage point to watch the amazing sunsets. We didn't use the gym.
We will definitely come back!
The condo was perfect. Spacious and clean. Had some issues with the AC dripping in the 2nd king bedroom but was fixed immediately with Antonio the property manager. The water pressure was also low during our stay but we were told that was normal during the dry season. All in all a great trip. Would definitely stay there again!
our family went there for a week and loved the condo. 5 min walk to the beach. quiet area not near the louder part of town though everything is within walking distance. surfing, sun and the pool what more would one ask for. gated and felt safe. beautiful condo
