About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Entire villa in gated community, 2 Bd, 2 & 1/2 bath, pool, sandy beach.

I hope this is your base for all kinds of fun activities or R&R. This is our home away from home and I hope you view it as such. It's not a show home. Meant to be lived in. Lay on the couch after a fun day surfing or exploring.

This is a stand alone house, not a condo. No long hallways, no elevators. A fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, 2 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath. In Costa Rica. We call it a Villa and that includes your own private parking stall just a few steps away. If you don't feel like driving, no problem as everything is within walking distance and really is a better way to enjoy Tamarindo and the friendly locals. The incredible beach is just 850 meters away. Over half mile of adventure in the heart of town.

Important Update - we have installed a back-up water cistern. VERY important especially during high season. You still need to be conscious of water use.

Here are our house features...
Main Floor
•Fully equipped kitchen including coffee maker, blender, granite countertops, raised eating bar and a separate eating area with a table and four chairs
•Comfortably appointed living room, with a large sectional, entertainment system, flat screen TV with built in DVD and free wifi phone to make free calls to the USA
•Washer Dryer and sink in Laundry room
•Two piece bathroom on main
•Coat closet
•Expanded lanai by the entrance. Perfect for reading or watching the kids in the pool.

Upper Floor
•Master bedroom, with a queen bed, an en-suite with a tub / shower, independent AC, ceiling fan, and a balcony that overlooks the pool
•Second bedroom, with a queen bed and a double bed plus a twin bunk bed above the double bed sleeping up to 5, a full en-suite, independant AC, ceiling fan
The air conditioning system has independent controls for each floor as well as for each bedroom.
Furnishings, appliances, and other details are included.

We love having the pool right outside your door.

Hello
Thanks for letting us rebook in the future. Unfortunately the weather and associated national state of emergency limited us from enjoying the country. I hope the airport and citizens are able to get back to normal soon!!

Perfect location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Having the pool in the front was perfect for our kids, who loved going in on each day. The Thursday night market is a must - amazing food and music. Fabulous location. We will be recommending to our friends!

Tamarindo Christmas
Great property, loved location, property managers were always available and helpful. We rented a golf cart for ease of getting to beach and restaurants but very walkable which we also did several times. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the mattresses and pillows.

A perfect stay in Tamarindo
Kathy's place was the perfect base for our one-month stay in Costa Rica. Her home is charming, and the house is perfectly located in front of the pool which was great for us. A short walk to the main part of town and the beach. We loved it and would stay again.

Fantastic Place in Tamarindo
Our family of four loved staying at Pueblo Colonial. Lots of space, clean and property managers very helpful and always available to answer question or for help. For 5 days this place was our base as we adventured Tamarindo and beyond with a rented golf cart. So much walking distance as well - beach, stores, restaurants and more. I would highly recommend this place with a shared pool right outside the door to enjoy as well.

The house was so cute and cozy. Nice big master bedroom with beautiful large windows and a small terrace. The pool was steps out the front door. Nice and deep on one end which was perfect for our son. Communication was great and we would stay again.

Great house in Tamarindo
Lee's condo was perfect. We stayed for 9 days the condo is a perfect location to town and we were able to get around with ease. The pool is right out the front door we really enjoyed. Margaritha was great always checking to see if we needed anything if we did she took care of it right away. We would stay again and would recommend to any one visiting Tamarindo.

Great home base
This property served as a wonderful home base for our week in Tamarindo. The accommodations were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and having the pool directly outside our door was wonderful! It was a short walk (10-15 minutes, depending on your speed) to the main beach area. Kathry was very responsive to my inquiries before the trip and Sonia and Jorge were very helpful at the property. We would definitely stay here again, should our travels bring us back to Tamarindo!

Wonderful family trip
We LOVED our stay at Kathy's well-appointed home. It was roomy, clean, in a safe location, well stocked for cooking, and the pool was a nice retreat as well. We used it as a home base while we did some day trips - an ideal location for that as well. Sonia and Jorge were great to work with. If transportation is needed, Sonia is a tremendous help in arranging that. We highly recommend this property. Wish we didn't have to leave.

Great location, great host!
We stayed here for 4 weeks and we couldnt have asked for a better host + location. We had 4 adults, (1) 4 years old, (1) 1 year old. The location is central so you dont need a car to get into town; the property is clean and well kept; Kathy is a lovely host with constant communication. The pool is right in front of the house which was super convenient for our family. If we're back in Tamarindo, we'd absolutely be staying here again.

Great location and privacy
Wonderful peaceful spot. Managers were totally available using the Whats App application. Felt safe - a golf cart was a really nice addition as the walk Into town gets a little long (10 min) in the heat or with groceries etc. very convenient to stores, bank, restaurants, surf board and cart rentals. Really spotless property we felt like the only ones there! Awesome for families or quiet couples getaway.

Casa Colorado
The villa was beautiful and had everything we needed down to the cozy robes. We enjoyed coffee on the porch every morning and a refreshing afternoon dip in the pool. The villa is conveniently located near a grocery store with a wonderful selection of fresh veggies, fruits, and prepared foods. There are so many restaurants to choose from and they are all wonderful. The beach is amazing and the water is the perfect temperature. Sonia and Jorge are readily available to assist. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful Villa
We loved everything about this Villa. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the pool just outside our door was definitely a bonus! The Villa was lovely and very well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable, from plenty of towels, well equipped kitchen and we loved the robes! Kathy was very quick to get back for any questions we had before our trip. Once we were at Villa, Sonia and Jorge, property managers, were so very friendly and helpful, from arranging airport transportation to recommendations of restaurants and answering any questions we had. The location of this Villa is a definite bonus as we did not need a vehicle. Tamarindo town and beach were about 10 minutes with grocery store half way! Everything about this Villa and its location was a definite 5 Star. We loved Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

Perfect tropical getaway
This villa was perfect for us. Sitting on the deck in the morning, drinking coffee and overlooking a beautiful pool and hearing the birds sing just was a great start to each day. Everything we needed was in the house, it was well stocked and very clean. The property manager, Jorge, was extremely gracious and very knowledgeable of the area. It is a bit of a walk to the beach, about half mile or so on dirt roads, so be prepared & don’t wear new shoes! Other than that everything was perfect.

Fabulous villa for a family of 5!
We loved our vacation and where we stayed. Having the pool steps away made it so simple and relaxing. The showers, air conditioning, and laundry facilities kept us clean and comfortable. I loved being able to buy groceries and cook for my family, especially with my daughter’s keto diet. Jorge, the property manager, was friendly, prompt, intuitive, knowledgeable, and kind. He helped us arrange a couple of amazing excursions to horse ride and view nesting sea turtles. He suggested Guaitil as a cultural activity; my kids met Andy and learned about indigenous pottery making. The property is private and just enough east of downtown to be quiet without being too far to walk if you don’t have a car. We can’t say enough good things about our stay. We hope to come again soon!

Had everything we needed and then some!
Fantastic vacation in Tamarindo 7/2-7/11. The house was stocked with everything we needed to have a worry free stay. Lee was great and made me feel very comfortable booking with him. I have booked through VRBO in the states, but this was the first time booking an out of country stay. Lee was very responsive and had everything setup before I arrived. The onsite property manager was expecting our arrival and was very accommodating while we were there without being intrusive. We can't wait to go back and will book Lee's villa again.
