This villa house is majestic and shows you a more rustic, beautiful side of Tamarindo Costa Rica. It’s very private and safe! The villa is lovely, open concept and comfortable and the pool and patio are lovely. The wildlife surrounding the property are all unique and beautiful and should be treasured and not killed if they try to wander in the house. There are howler monkeys, lizards, many beautiful birds, butterflies, and interesting native insects. At night you can see the stars shine bright in the sky with zero light pollution. The rooms all have a great size with private bathrooms each and all have an outdoor shower which is exhilarating. Please do yourself a favor and stay here for a memorable experience in Costa Rica. Eyner is very helpful in all ways to help get you from airport, get you rides to beach or in town, help you get food delivered right to the house (but keep in mind you will want to have cash for all these things). Look no further for your couples, group or family stay in Tamarindo area. The house has marvelous vibes and everyone is sure to chillout and have a great vacation together 😀❤️ Also, 100% stop by the nearest restaurant called Finca for a casado or pizza! So tasty! And make a trip to the Altos de Eros Spa ❤️ they pick you up and drop you off, and definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

    Great host who offered advice on local restaurants, facilities, places of interest and beaches. The venue is a gated community of about six apartments located only two minutes walk to the beach. Parking is onsite and free. Very clean, facilities modern and in good order. Really recommend Tamarindo Sunshine. Perfect for couples.

    Great hostel with lots of room to socialize, and relax. The pool/exercise room/balcony/dining area were first rate. The rooms were clean, and the cleaning staff was really friendly. The quiet hours were unforced, so even though it was a social hostel, you could also get a good sleep.
