Villa holiday rentals in Las Catalinas

The place was exactly as described. We had 10 people and there was plenty of room for everyone. Had breakfast and most suppers outside by the pool. Working with the concierges provided (Brenda) was extremely helpful. She organized, shuttle services, tours, restaurant reservations and a catamaran and was very responsive to all of our questions during the stay. Veronica the chef / cleaner for the mornings was very helpful and friendly. She made all of our breakfasts and cleaned up any mess from the night before and had a great energy. We used the go carts to drive to the beach club (10 minute go kart ride) , pickle ball (10 minute go kart ride) and for suppers at the JW Marriott (5 minute go kart ride away). Beaches are great and very close and walkable to driveable with a car or go karts. We had a car to go into Tamarindo to get groceries and go to the beaches and restaurants there as well, only a 15-20 minute drive once you are out of the resort. Overall a

Pictures don’t quite do Villa Lou Lou justice, the sunsets will stop you in your tracks. We entered the villa felt the peacefulness, the landscape & design of the place is stunning & perfect for families. The location is amazing & playa grande beach was by far the best beach around. We were able to go for a morning walk to get a few groceries if needed or a quick drive to local groceries. Be sure to step out the back doors in the mornings to hear the howler monkeys. Claire was a very helpful host with recommendations for things to do around the area. We’ll be back forsure!

Lovely home very spacious and fully equipped from top to bottom. Super comfortable. Great beds and luxurious sheets. Beautiful pool. Wildlife everywhere! Howler monkeys and beautiful birds. And some amazing iguanas

Our stay at Antonio’s place was nothing short of amazing. Antonio was super helpful and responsive to all requests. He made our stay stress free as he provided awesome recommendations for a driver as well as a personal chef for my birthday. Cannot recommend this place enough! If you’re considering it for your stay in Costa Rica, do it. :)

WOW. Our family group of 6 (ages from 5-65) had the most wonderful week together, no other vacation will ever live up. Maria's place is stunning, perfectly situated, very safe and peaceful. The beach is steps away and you can hear waves breaking all day, and the pool was the perfect chill spot for the afternoon at high tide. We were lucky enough to have Maria and her daughter, Evany, cook a few meals for us (Pura Vida Cooking) and it was such a treat. We rented a car and for our group it was nice to get around town and visit surrounding beaches (Hermosa, Ocotal, Panama, Iguanita). BOOK THIS HOUSE!!! you will not regret it

We could not have had a better stay. The place matched the pictures exactly. We enjoyed the outdoor area which had corn hole, ping pong, Jenga, and both a sauna and cold plunge. For people that don’t want to be in the hustle and bustle of downtown Tamarindo, this place is situated in a quiet and private area that was a quick golf cart ride or walk to the beach.

Wow! What an incredible place. We loved it! Great value. The pool is fantastic. The architecture is amazing. Fabrice was a perfect host! I’d absolutely come back again!

Awesome spot! Just a 10 minute walk (not very shaded though) to the beach. The property was very beautiful, felt safe and private. The pool was clean and refreshing after a day in the sun. The living area was spacious and comfortable. Guests should know that waste water is recycled, so no flushing toilet paper! Also, keep an eye out for iguanas, butterflies, and an armadillo 👀

Adriano and Deniz were wonderful hosts! Our stay at this Casa Dina was truly exceptional! From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a smooth and enjoyable trip. They went above and beyond by coordinating a private chef and arranging shuttles to and from the airport, making our experience completely stress-free. One of the highlights of our stay was Shirley, who took such great care of us. She made us delicious breakfasts on two mornings and kept the house spotless every day. She was so sweet and welcoming—it felt like having a family member looking after us! The host was also incredibly flexible with our requests and always quick to assist whenever we had a question. Their hospitality and attention to detail made our trip unforgettable. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate—you’ll be in great hands! Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Breathtaking property and views. It’s about a ten minute ride from the street on a mostly unpaved uphill road and driving up, we weren’t sure what to expect. When we arrived with our five children, each of us was blown away. Over the course of the trip, a few appliances had issues. I’m not sure exactly how, but the management team for the property was on site in minutes with a fix, no matter the issue. This is why I gave five stars. The property is probably 4 or 4.5 stars but the team involved easily pushes this to a 5. Thanks for a great stay. We would definitely visit again.

This is a beautiful property—the garden and pool area is stunning, the patio facing the beach is incredible, and the house is comfortable and well situated. We really loved having morning coffee and listening to the waves. And to be able to just waltz out the back gate and be in the ocean in seconds is the best thing ever. We appreciated Nick’s fast communication and would love to stay again some day!

We had a wonderful stay with 8 guests. The house is exactly as it appears in the photos, organized with 3 primary bedrooms around the central pool area. There is a fourth bedroom with 4 bunk beds. All of the bedrooms have their own bath/shower areas. The large living area has a big glass door that slides open to create an indoor/outdoor experience. We loved having breakfast prepared each day. We thought it might not be needed every day. However, after the first day, we decided it was too good to pass up, allowing us to relax every morning around the pool, drinking delicious coffee until the food was prepared. We would also highly recommend having a golf cart. It was delivered prior to our arrival and made trips in and out of town super easy. The location of the house is great. You can access either Playa Longosta or Playa Tamarindo through gates that are short walk from the house. The folks at the front gate to the neighborhood can give you the code. Overall, this is a great house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Guacamaya Roja! From the moment we booked, our hosts were so warm and welcoming - they truly have hospitality figured out. They even helped us book a fantastic babysitter so my husband and I could enjoy a dinner out. The kitchen is beautiful and the long dining table made for memorable family meals with friends. If cooking isn’t your thing, the pizza from El Huerto was incredible. My kids enjoyed the pool every day and a highlight for me was walking to yoga at the RipJack Inn. We’d love to stay here again.

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Villa Roya. The house is absolutely stunning and in a very convenient location. The main house was beautiful decorated, kitchen fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, the three separate casitas also well decorated (bonus they all had a mini fridge and coffee maker as well), the pool was beautiful and a center point for our trip. The Villa is a perfect oasis yet still in waking distance to the beach, restaurants, markets, bars, shopping, etc. Jason and Kathy are amazing hosts, they were super friendly, very responsive and offer lots of recommendations. Josue was wonderful as well. Thank you for making our time in Tamarindo so memorable.

This place is unbelievable: hard to imagine that we'll ever stay in a more perfect, beautiful, immaculate and stylish home. Even better than the photos, somehow. The neighborhood is quiet despite being active, the home is a block from the beach (an interesting section of the beach, different from Tamarindo). You can walk or drive a mile into Tamarindo for more activities, shops, restaurants. But this home: perfect.

Amazing house and location!

Amazing place ! Beautiful views !

Wow! We had an amazing vacation in Costa Rica, and staying at Villa colibri was just like hitting the jack pot. There were 6 of us, and the room configuration was perfect to give my young adult kids the privacy they needed, and we all congregated every day in the beautifully landscaped courtyard with pool. The breach, restaurants and shops were walking distance - we sometimes drove and sometimes walked. Playa grande is a quaint village/town where you can live like locals and everyone is so friendly. Our hosts were amazing and made us feel at home. I recommend 100%, and have nothing negative to say!

Beautiful place to stay in a gorgeous location! Enjoyed the ocean view, private gated community, and all of the amenities the home had to offer. Thank you Helen for a wonderful stay, we would recommend this house for anyone looking to stay in Playa Grande!

If you’re looking for a beautiful place to stay that is convenient to downtown Tamarindo but quietly removed in a private, gated community, PiPPi’s Villa is it! My wife, son, and I spent many afternoons lounging by the backyard pool after a day of beach combing, swimming in the ocean, or souvenir hunting in town, just a short walk away. A favorite feature for us was the “Casita” guest house. Our son retired to it in the evening giving my wife and I privacy in the main Villa. We would also enjoy our morning coffee in the Villa’s beautiful flower garden which was visited each day by a dozen, multicolored dragonflies. Quite a unique experience. Our Host, Helena, was terrific! Very responsive, respectful, and helpful with any questions or concerns we had during our stay. On our next trip to Costa Rica, we will definitely try to spend part of it enjoying PiPPi’s Villa.

The place was very clean, secure, beautiful and well-equipped. Very comfortable bedding. Finally Ian is very responsive, in case of need and all the instructions were very clear.

We had a great trip. She was very responsive and helpful. Fun place!

Had a great stay at Happy House, especially the howler monkeys in the trees, the friendly cat and the peaceful view from the back porch while we had morning coffee or evening cocktails. It was very hot while we were in Tamarindo, so we were grateful for the ceiling fans in each bedroom, porch and family room as well as the room AC units. We did activities each morning and then spent the afternoons in the pool. The drive up the hills to the house was steep, but fine once you got the hang of it. The host was extremely responsive and quick every time I asked a question or needed more information. We enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen, and it was well stocked with whatever we needed. Would def recommend this place if you’re in the Tamarindo area.

Excellent lodging, Doris and her family are very friendly people and were always willing to help us. They gave us local recommendations and helped us with what we requested. Private place very close to the beach, 100% recommended!
