My wife and I with our son who’s 17 and daughter that’s 15, stayed for 9 days. Kelly and Olber at Blue Zone were very easy to communicate with. Their office is also easy to find right in town, which was useful when discussing/planning activities. The pool and outdoor cooking area was great and we used daily. The space of the house fit all of our needs. Spacious bedrooms, each with private baths. Like most neighborhoods in Tamarindo, there’s construction going on all around, almost daily, which can be a bit noisy, this is no fault of the house or property managers, it’s practically unavoidable and we spent a lot of time exploring the area on foot and golf cart. The key/lock box situation was kind of wonky at first. You need a key to enter and exit the home, so if someone leaves and puts the key in the lock box, outside, the people inside cannot get out. We connected with Blue Zone right when we got there and they showed up within the hour with another set of keys which alleviated the problem. You have to be diligent every time you leave, to make sure you put your inside keys back on the key hook inside and the outside keys are put back in the lockbox outside. A door handle with a key code would be the obvious solution, however; there’s a clear trend in the area to secure your property with tall concrete walls, topped with spikes and razor wire so this locking process forces you to be mindful of locking your door. Overall we liked our stay and the home.

Overall the property was clean and nice, however I would suggest that the owners get a vacuum cleaner in case there wasn't one already. Also, the hot water in the upstairs shower was non-existent.

The property was as advertised and even better , the pool was a wonderful break from the heat, the house was perfect for a family with 2 adult children, group and separate space for all. We even saw monkeys in the trees our first day!

Plenty of space to spread out with AC, multiple bathrooms and a great pool to refresh in when the temperature soars. Just up the road from the Thursday night market. Blue Zone team was very responsive and highly reccomend using them to get a golf cart - much easier to navigate around time and you get a cool breeze when you do. Master shower did not work but this was not a problem for us as we were just two of us but had we been with a group it would have presented more of an issue. Very comfortable, beds were comfortable with good pillows and no sagging which is the one thing I always worry about. Family of howlers cruises along the back wall in the early am which was very fun to watch.

Absolutely loved our stay at this gorgeous property. Very spacious with all the perks: immaculately kept patio/pool area with grill and lounge chairs. The pool is not heated, but the weather was so nice that it didn’t need to be. Master shower had an issue with the hot water, but luckily the two other bathrooms didn’t have this issue so we used those instead. Only con we noticed was that there was only one key available to use to get in and out of the property, so it would be difficult to manage if we weren’t all on the same schedule. Luckily our group stayed together so wasn’t an issue for us. Loved the on-site laundry for sandy towels post beach. Would absolutely stay again and would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful retreat near town and the beach.
