About this house rental

Welcome to Tamarindo’s hidden gem! Nestled among twelve exclusive beachfront homes, La Choza del Estero embraces the original essence of Tamarindo. Following a renovation in December 2021, this property has been artfully transformed into a rustic sanctuary radiating beauty and charm. We believe joy lies in the simple things in life. At our home, nature surrounds you and we provide a clean environment to come back to while you enjoy your adventures. This is a true beachfront oasis with the laid back Pura Vida spirit!

Located off the main road into Tamarindo, adjacent to Baulas National Park and overlooking Tamarindo Beach, La Choza del Estero is within walking distance of downtown attractions. From world-class surf spots to shopping, restaurants, and bars, everything Tamarindo has to offer is easily accessible. Surrounded by nature, guests are invited to relish the outdoor amenities, including the pergola, BBQ area, tropical gardens, outdoor bamboo shower, fire pit, and captivating ocean views.

The name "La Choza del Estero" holds a special significance. "La Choza" translates to "home" in the native Indian or "Chorotegan" dialect. The name "La Choza del Estero" can be interpreted as "Home along the Estuary." Surrounded by lush trees, including a majestic 200-year-old Guanacaste tree, the property enjoys the rejuvenating ocean breeze and thrives with diverse flora and fauna. Our home pays tribute to traditional Costa Rican architectural styles known as "bahareques," featuring a charming blue and white exterior paint adorned with various local woods and bamboo elements. It is our mission to share the authentic Costa Rican experience with all our guests.

Accommodating a maximum of 12 guests, this property boasts 5 bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom. Three rooms are situated on the second floor, while two are located on the first floor with separate private entrances that do not connect from within the house. In total, there are 6 queen beds and a sofa bed available. The first-floor rooms offer personal mini-fridges and coffee makers for added convenience. Additional amenities include air conditioners, smart locks with personalized codes for each room, surveillance cameras, smart TVs, bamboo mattresses, ceiling fans in two rooms, kitchen appliances, and utensils. The indoor kitchen and dining area can accommodate 6 guests, with an outdoor BBQ area available for entertaining. The property boasts outdoor upper and lower decks as common areas reflecting traditional Costa Rican hospitality with spaces for socializing and storytelling.

The property is meticulously maintained by a private gardener and housekeeper, with complimentary housekeeping and laundry services provided every other day, excluding Sundays. Kayaks are available for guests to use, as well as free onsite parking. High-speed internet, premium cable, and private beach access enhance the guest experience. The outdoor pergola and fire pit offer a cozy setting for gathering, while the location near Las Baulas National Park and Tamarindo Estuary provides a unique opportunity to explore diverse flora and fauna. Please be advised that while we cannot guarantee a completely bug-free environment due to our location in a highly tropical setting, we do offer monthly fumigation services to help minimize mosquitoes and other bugs on the property.

Conveniently located near amenities, the property is a short distance from the main grocery store, the nearest hospital, and a quick walk to downtown Tamarindo. Guests can enjoy peace and tranquility while having easy access to shops, restaurants, and nightlife without the need for a rental car. Please note that during the high season, you may occasionally hear street noise due to the property's proximity to the main road.

Please review the house rules before booking to ensure a suitable experience for you and your guests. La Choza del Estero takes pride in transparency and aims to provide a memorable and comfortable stay for all visitors.

During your stay with us, we go the extra mile by offering to book personalized adventures for you and your family.

We were struck by the beauty of the outdoor spaces at La Choza del Estero. All of the seating areas were very welcoming - all 10 members of my family loved congregating under the pagoda or on the adirondack chairs that surround the fire pit. We were able to watch the howler monkeys and the iguanas climb the trees in the garden - it was so relaxing and entertaining! The bedrooms were very comfortable. We all slept very well and enjoyed the coolness that the AC provided when a short reprieve from the midday heat was in order. The housekeeper was available nearly every day with clean towels, trash removal and laundry services if desired. We took advantage of that service on two different days. The hosts were also exceedingly responsive to our suggestions. We suggested the addition of some kitchen items and, to our surprise, the host acquired many of those items the next day. It is easy to walk to everything that Tamarindo has to offer from this house. We had initially considered renting a golf cart but it really wasn't necessary and I'm glad we didn't. There are plenty of small shops and cafes to see and stop in if you're on foot. Conversely, walking on the beach is always an amazing option.... Thank you Mary and Miguel!

Our group of 11 had a wonderful stay. Mary and her family were excellent hosts responding quickly to every request. The house has beautiful grounds and a quiet beach out front near the estuary that includes a beautiful spot to watch the sunset. You are also just a few minutes walk from all the action on the beach along with local bars and restaurants. We would definitely stay here on our next trip to Costa Rica!

The property was wonderful and Mary and her family were very accommodating. The house was perfect for my family. All five of us had our own room and bathroom. The property was a large beautiful property next to the beach. You can walk down the beach to the town and all of the activities in Tamarindo. We were visited by about a dozen howler monkeys one day. Absolutely loved our stay here.

Our family of 11 stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. The house is close to town with easy access to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We rented a car but didn’t need it because everything was so convenient. The manager was exceptionally helpful and quick to answer our questions and help with tours and places to visit. They truly wanted our visit to be enjoyable and it was!

Amazing property with amazing hosts. We loved our stay. The house was roomy and clean with amazing grounds to hang out on. The estuary is located right in front of the house and access to the beach was right there. I would go for a run and enjoy coffee watching the boats. We had several fires and enjoyed cooking on the bbq. Miguel was an amazing host and was always there for us to answer any questions. The kids loved seeing the iguanas, monkeys and hermit crabs. We took kayaks several times down the river. Each room had air conditioning and a tv. The wifi was super fast. Watching the sunset on tje beach was amazing. Outside was literally so beautiful with an outdoor firepit with chairs, a great place to have dinner, and hammocks. I can't say enough about this place and the memories we made

We spent the week between Christmas and New Years at the La Choza del Estero. Miguel and his staff were amazing and not only hosts but also became friends. They kept the place clean, prepared the outdoor living at night with fires in the outdoor circle as well as on the beach. They were also helpful in assisting us with questions and planning. The house was laid out perfectly for our group of kids and adults. Being in such a beautiful place there was so much to do right out the back gate on the estuary/beach! It was perfect! We can't recommend this place enough! We will definitely be back!

What a beautiful property, wonderful family, and attentive hosts! This was our first time using VRBO and it did not disappoint. This was a new listing when we first booked the property. The hosts always were in communication with us and made us feel very secure with our decision to book. I cannot say enough about our stay at La Choza Del Estero which we stayed from July 25th to August 1st. Our seven days could not have been more perfect. We had the pleasure of meeting Mary, Miguel, Travis, and Victoria. They were very attentive, addressed our questions, and made us feel at home and part of the family. We have been to Costa Rica many times before but has been about 40 years since our last visit. We mentioned the delicious banana wrapped tamales that we remembered as kids….they brought some to us. It was exactly how we remembered them and it brought back those cherished memories. How awesome is that? They property is gorgeous and the rooms are beautiful. They were decorated perfectly and were very inviting with added touches in each! Each room had an air conditioner unit which were so thankful because it was not always available in other properties. The grounds were beautiful and we loved all the areas we could hangout with our family and take in the scenery. Outdoors is where we love to be. The estuary was right there and a short walk to a really close restaurant that was located just steps from the property. I suggest to take a boat tour of the estuary, it was fantastic and we loved every minute. Shops, restaurants, and grocery stores are really close to the property and most are in walking distance that we took advantage of. The sunsets were unbelievable and breathtaking. Miguel was so nice and set up the fire pit for us in different locations each night. The outdoor lighten was so nice and inviting. Shout out to there wonderful staff that made sure the grounds were impeccable, the house was clean, and our grounds were secure. We would not hesitated to stay at their property again. It was such a pleasant, relaxing, and fulfilling experience. They truly gave us the VIP treatment and what a wonderful experience we will never forget. You need to consider booking this property for your next visit to Tamarindo! Thank you La Choza Del Estero and staff for everything you did, making our experience so memorable and something we will never forget.

A beachfront adventure

A beachfront adventure

I stayed at La Choza with ten other friends for a short four nights, and we wish it were longer! Leading the charge for activities for ten adults can be daunting, but Rachel took care of literally everything. She made every aspect of planning seamless (and affordable). We seemed to get lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the fire pit set up and lit by Miguel, who is so kind. The rooms were clean and comfy. We even came home to some towel animals left on our beds one day which was a nice touch. I will say, the Ocean Room had quite a bit of an ant issue, but I was given plenty of Raid and I think they filled in some gaps in the baseboards and it worked like a charm. Rainy season brings out the bugs, for sure. All in all, I cannot recommend this home enough. The price for the location alone is wondeful. Pair that with wonderful hosts and a beautiful home and it’s a no-brainer! If I can return to Tamarindo, I will certainly be staying here.

Our family stayed at La Choza del Estero for one week. We couldn't have picked a better location for our vacation. We woke up to a large family of charmingly quiet howler monkeys each morning. The beach and the estuary were our backyard. The property lends itself to outdoor living. It includes an outdoor shower, hammocks, firepits, and and an outdoor dining area. The jungle themed bedrooms were well appointed with a remodeled bathroom in each of them. Air conditioning and wifi worked well. The owner and his family live next door so if we sought advice on what to do they were right there. If there is any criticism it would be the tiny kitchen and indoor dining area. It didn't affect us much but if weather were a factor and someone wanted to eat inside it would not be very comfortable. The property manager's husband, Douglas provided both transportation to and from the airport along with a private beach tour. His local knowledge of Costa Rica was priceless. The pride for his country was evident. We highly recommend using him. We definitely want to come back. Sincerely, The Doelmans

Our stay wasn’t as pleasant as it would have been considering the amount of money we paid for this property. The location of the property was ideal however the house & management wasn’t. I’ll start with the fact that the owners live next door and were on the property daily during the day and evenings. We never had any privacy. One day the owner even had friends and family over and they hung out at the back yard all day during our stay. Not what we expected. Zero privacy. We were constantly being told to turn off the lights. Every day they were coming over and walking in the house without notice. I had my 5 month old baby with me and I needed to do laundry. I noticed they had washer and dryer on the property and was told it was $10 a wash If I wanted to use it. Who charges that much per night and doesn’t let you use the washer and dryer?? Also, the house doesn’t have a living room. You are forced to sit outside if you want to socialize with your group. Only the bedrooms have AC which make it unbearable to cook in the tiny kitchen. The kitchen was also not properly equipped. It was missing a lot of the tools, utensils, bowls, serving dishes that one needs to cook and serve a proper meal. The owners also have 2 large dogs that live on the property and constantly go inside the house. Not very sanitary. However they don’t allow pets but you have to put up with theirs entering the home. The WiFi never worked properly so it was quiet difficult for our group to be online and work. In conclusion it was an overpriced hot old home full of ants, bugs, roaches and insects that wasn’t luxury nor worth the money we paid. I have rented all sorts of homes through out my travels, some fancy and some not but this house was far from what was advertised.
