Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Tamarindo

We loved the place and it was all it was made out to be. We read other reviews regarding the noise from the nightlife and it was a real thing. The view and location made it all worth while. Communication was fantastic. For our first time in Costa Rica it was a great place to stay. Would recommend it, especially the ocean view!

Awesome place to stay! When booked, I thought it was in Lagusta. However with the clear instructions for check-in, I realize that was not the case. After arriving, I was not disappointed one bit. The property is very centrally, located to all of the amazing beaches, and yet if you want the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo itself, it’s just a short drive. All of the maintenance staff was amazing keeping the property spotless and inviting. The restaurant and its staff in the front are just as amazing and friendly.. The host went out of their way to provide my family with items that were not included in the listing that we had requested before arriving. Anytime a question arose. It was answered within minutes. All in all, I am very satisfied that it was not in Lagusta where I had originally thought. Will definitely stay with host again.

I had a lovely week at Jeff’s place. The space was great: excellent AC, great kitchen, nice bathroom, good living space and lots of places to relax outside, too. The beach is a short walk but it was great to have the pool too. The town is also great—just the right mix of amenities without trafficky tourist chaos. As I didn’t have a car Jeff was really helpful when it came to arranging a taxi to/from the bus. Getting groceries was also easy, and there were lots of cafes and restaurants at various price points. Next time I would rent a bike from Javier at Pargos Adventures so I could explore even more. Playa Negra is super special—I hope to be back!!

Sergios’ place is set back off the road. He lives on the second floor. There is a gate which is padlocked before entering the apartment. I felt safe there. Sergio is available for any needs, questions. It is a short walk to the beach. If I return to Costa Rica in the future, I would definitely stay at his place again.

Cato was a great host! Responded very quickly, and was very accommodating to our needs..requests. Check-in instructions were super detailed and helpful.

Great base camp for surfing in tamarindo, wonderful experience!

The place is beautiful, private, quite, just like the pictures, Vannesa and Audrey were excellent hosts, they were always attentive to anything we needed and very kind.

5 stars, great place! Clean, close to the beach and great hosts!

We had a lovely and peaceful stay in this unique home. Really enjoyed the space. Gerardo the caretaker was lovely and very helpful. Ate several times at his family restaurant! Is quite a quiet area so was helpful when Joseph helped us hire a car to explore the area.

Benton was VERY responsive! Within 30 seconds we always got a response. Ocotal Beach is such a fun area - especially eating at Rooster's at nights. They had a live band on Friday night. The view was amazing from the home. We will definitely come back again!

Very nice place and too cozy and better if you leave with a group of several people, we only had an inconvenience with the cold that did not work but the technician arrived and fixed it, then the road is ballast and there is a hill that costs a lot because the wheels skate. Everything else with the accommodation was super good and was nice at the weekend

This home exceed our expectations! It was absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable and clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation.

Casa Bosque will forever be in our happy memories! My family had such an incredible stay here. The hosts, Forest and Andrea, were so attentive to our questions or needs. She even made us sourdough bread one morning! They were respectful of our space and felt genuinely glad we were enjoying ourselves. They took our families sunset pics the last night. It was great getting to know them! The home is picturesque and has everything you need to enjoy Playa Negra. The beautiful pool overlooked the ocean and tropical landscape. It was refreshing to lounge in during the heat of the day. The kitchen had every amenity we needed to fix coffee, breakfast, and lunch. We chose to try restaurants in the area for dinners each night. Howler monkeys delighted us a couple of days when we could see the family hopping through the trees. The beach out front was a dream to walk out to from your own private entrance. We will definitely be putting this home on our “go back to” list. We enjoyed every minute!!

Was a great place to stay for the week. Had the amenities we needed and the location is great - across street from a Lodge with a full restaurants and bar open late for those who want to imbibe after dinner. The pool doesn't get very much sun so not good for laying out but great for quick dips throughout the day. The water stays pretty cool so very refreshing.

Amazing deal, the size and amenaties for the price was super!! a real steal in Coco! lots of neighbors but everyone was respectful and quiet.

This home is as described and beautiful! To say that Claire is responsive is an understatement- she is always available. The pictures don’t do it justice- it’s immaculate. There is a small grocery 5 minutes away and restaurants and the beach 10 minutes away. Rip Jack Inn has any sports game/match you need- just ask them. Tamarindo is a simple 25 minute drive. Taco Star is as fantastic- don’t miss it! Hearing Howler Monkeys for the first time is wild. Actually seeing them is quite unique but we did see them down by the beach entrance. Can’t wait to visit again!

One of the best places I've ever stayed! Ocean front. Comfortable price. Cute, clean, pools, safe . My family and I will return permanently! Thank you very much Elias , everything is great .

"A Breathtaking Stay at Flamingo Towers – Worth Every Penny!" My recent stay at Flamingo Towers in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, was nothing short of spectacular. The **breathtaking views** alone make this destination stand out—waking up to the sight of the Pacific Ocean stretching endlessly before me was an experience I’ll never forget. Beyond the natural beauty of Costa Rica, what truly elevated my stay was the "convenience and security" of this location. The property was well-maintained, with easy access to everything I needed, and I always felt completely safe. Britt, the host, was exceptional—his communication was seamless from start to finish, and his recommendations were top-notch. Whether it was dining, excursions, or local tips, he ensured that I experienced the best of what this paradise has to offer. Yes, the cost was higher due to peak season, but honestly, the view alone made it worth every penny!

Beautiful, very comfortable accommodation. Located in a resort built and managed mainly by Italians. A beautiful pool with an attached hot tub was a great addition to our afternoons. Everything was functional and working, although bladed fans, air conditioning, and refrigerator were actually very noisy, even though they worked properly.

The host was helpful and friendly. The location was an easy walk into downtown area. There are multiple other apartments in the compound but we were never bothered by any of the other guests. Shower was very weak pressure and would take a long time to warm up. The kitchen was nicely supplied with the necessities you need. We made breakfast there every morning. Overall a great stay for a fair price for the area.

Wonderful rental for individual or family. Huge balcony, lovely pool, spacious accomodations, favorite stay in costa Rica.

Stephanie was very communicative and helpful during our stay. The place was conveniently nearby a few different restaurants and a market. We also found it to be very accessible to the activities in Tamarindo and the beach. Thank you for a nice stay, well worth the price. Pura vida!

Tushar’s place was the perfect spot to stay in when my friends and I wanted to extend in Tamarindo. Tushar was super flexible, we booked and checked in quickly with no problem. The space was very clean and had everything we needed. There was a slight issue with opening the front door but Tushar was very communicative and ensured we got in safely. Would highly recommend this, 15 min walk from the beach, convenience stores nearby, restaurants etc. Thanks again Tushar!

Had a wonderful time in Costa Rica. Accommodations were within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Pool was clean and refreshing anytime of the day. It was great to be able to walk out the unit and have the pool right there. Any questions we had were quickly answered by the host. Would stay here again.
