Excellent place to stay! The home is exactly as shown and described. The host provided MANY extras which was unexpected but totally appreciated. A few blocks to the main part of town for restaurants, groceries and shopping but far enough that the site is quiet. Pool area was great. Lovely area to sit outside with a coffee. We all felt safe and secure on the property and there is a safe in one of the bedrooms (there is also a police station a block away!). We highly recommend this home.

We spent a month at this VRBO in Tamarindo Costa Rica. This was our third trip to the country since 2017. The home was more then adequately supplied , very clean, ample two bedrooms and two baths, beautiful pool sharing between 4 homes, never a problem, hot walk back from the beach, worth the $5.00 taxi return with groceries. We did however experience some issues with the hostess that were quite disturbing and extremely unprofessional. The first, having been promised a safe at the time of our reservations found it was not installed and it had to put in during our arrival. It seemed to us she felt it was our fault.When the tv was not operating our enquiry into the use of two remotes for the tv was answered quite sarcastically. It was obvious that the tv was set up to operate through a speaker system as well the tv remote. She did not know how it worked and blamed the batteries and we were told to not touch the second remote.(The Owners book should include directions on operation in the guest book)When asked what the home phone number was, the sarcastic answer was “it's in the welcome book”, a matter of fact it wasn’t, and we did not enter it!Our most troubling situation in dealing with her was when we ran into a credit card problem on an over night trip and needed her help. As most of our other cards were in the homes safe, we called her for help. Rather then STEP up with suggestions on how she may help we received a lecture on how most people use other services like PayPal.(Fortunately, the owner of the accommodation happily arranged for us to transfer funds through our bank solving an embarrassing situation, a true example of Pura Veda) We are seniors, have traveled extensively, rudeness and a condescending attitude is not acceptable. Regards,The non suite bathroom requires a new shower head, and the gate key requires replacement!

We enjoyed our stay at Cala Ela, everything was as advertised.
We loved Casa Ela, everything was excellent. The accommodations were great and the grounds and pool were well maintained. Jennifer and her family were awesome and provided us with assistance and information whenever we needed anything. It is a 15 minute walk to the beach and back up the molasses road, if you go to town several times a day I would recommend a golf cart or rent a vehicle. We will recommend Casa Ela to anyone thanks for the great stay at your Condo.

Great House
Beautiful house, clean, bright and functional. We had a dream week: the beds are very comfortable, the terrace is beautiful and pleasant, the pool too! 2 bedrooms that can accommodate up to 6 people.
A little away from the noise of Tamarindo, which was pleasant, without being too far from the centre. In less than 10 minutes by foot we were at the beach. We were thinking of renting a golf cart to get around but finally we did everything on foot.
Jennifer is on hand for any questions, always listening and giving advice or in case of problems.
We really recommend this rental, even more for families!
Thanks again for making this holiday an unforgettable experience!

Great house
Really enjoyed the stay. House was clean and well kept. Far enough away to be quite and relaxed without feeling isolated. Jennifer and Evelyn were helpful and responsive in coordinating shuttles, and activities when we needed help. I wouldn’t hesitate going back.

A home away from home feeling with all the amenities plus a dedicated, tireless, friendly host
Jennifer, the manager of Casa Ela in Tamarindo Costa Rica, is bar none the greatest manager you can find. She will spare nothing in helping you to explore the adventures you're looking for, make the connections for them, and then always follows up to see how it all went.
The property we stayed at, Casa Ela, had all her touches. From having multiple plush towels provided, to laundry within the home to wash them and your belongings, to including basic spices AND ziplock bags and saran wrap! How many times have you traveled and needed just a bit of time to find the "basics...?" To have them already there just does all the more to insure your long sought after perfect vacation is off to a good start, saving your energy for the enjoyment of your adventures, not just shopping for those "basics."
Thanks, Jennifer!
Also, make sure to go to La Bodega on road to Casa Ela. Great food and prices!
Jennifer also has a great guide connection for bike tours, Wendy.
And Wendy knows a terrific taxi driver, Duilio.
There is a gym close to Casa Rla, Tamarindo Gym that has a variety of equipment and weights. Go early when it’s cool!
The ocean is a great temperature for swimming! Water was murky for snorkeling when we were there, but don’t let that stop you!
Bring comfortable walking or hiking shoes. Plenty to see!
Pura Vida!

Great place to stay while enjoying the beach town of Tamarindo!
We will definitely stay here again. There are 4 separate units on the property which gives you privacy and quite surroundings. The property is well maintained with an abundance of trees and a has a great swimming pool for relaxation and soaking up the sun. Our unit was recently upgraded and provided a clean and spacious area with a private patio. The beach, shops and dining facilities are a short walk away from the property. We looked forward to every morning listening to the birds and an occasional wakeup call from the howler monkeys. You will greatly enjoy your stay here.

Casa Ela #1 - Wonderful Stay
My wife & I spent a week here for our 1st visit to Cost Rica for our 32nd wedding anniversary. It was the perfect place to stay with a short walk to town. It was very nice, clean & comfortable. We used the kitchen & outdoor BBQ grill for a few meals when we wanted a little down time, otherwise we wanted to experience Tamarindo. The place was very comfortable and secure with security guards on site during evening hours. Honestly we never felt the need for them as all the locals and foreigners we met were quite nice. a lot of gift shops in town featuring lots of very nice wood carving & art indicative of the local area. Some locals would wander the beaches selling hand made goods, but were all very polite, if you say your not interested they will quietly & politely leave. Jennifer suggested grabbing golf cart vs a car rental which we did that simplified the slightly farther local trips. Tamarindo is a small community and sometimes parking can take a little searching. The golf cart made it much easier to navigate around town when it was busier. We wanted to eat foods that were more typical of the local Cost Rican families, Jennifer suggested trying one of the local cafes (called Sodas) which we did, we ate at Soda Buen Comer which was just across the street from Witches Rock Surf Camp. We also did a private ATV tour through the local jungle and occasionally popping out on an isolated beach with volcano rock and jagged islands shooting up from the sea. We also went deep see fishing which was beautiful in itself being able to look back to the majestic mainland from the ocean. My wife and I both caught some Mahi-Mahi that we took to another local restaurant called Nogui's that cooked what we caught. They served it to us 4 different ways with side dishes and salad. We had it Blackened, Garlic, Grilled & Floured. It was an incredible experience.
Overall our stay with Jennifer was without a doubt the best vacation we've ever taken.
Thank you Jennifer!

Tamarindo's Casa Ela #1
I would highly recommend staying at this home. We felt safe and nice to be away from the crowds in Tamarindo. We did have a rental car which made it convenient to shop and sightsee. TV, Internet and AC worked great. Pool was clean. House in good condition and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, etc. Dish soap, sponge, laundry detergent, paper towels and toilet paper were provided. A great French bakery, Utopia, within 5 minute walk. Also, next to the bakery was a pizza place, La Esquina that I would highly recommend.
Jennifer arranged an all day tour for us to go to Canyon De La Viega. We did ziplining, horseback riding, rappelling, white water rafting and the famous mud bath. Highly recommend. The estuary tour was worth it. We didn't see any crocodiles but did walk inland and take some pictures of howler monkeys. Son and grandson enjoyed surfing at Playa Grande. Parking is available at Playa Grande (2,000 colones)and the best tacos at Taco Star which is right on the beach. Beautiful sandy beaches and unusual seashells at Playa Grande.
Plenty of souvenir shops in Tamarindo. Parking is sometimes a problem. Takes awhile to get use to some of the dirt roads. If you go slow and avoid the potholes, no problem.
Overall, we had a great time and Jennifer had great recommendations for restaurants and tours.

pictures don't do it justice
We had a wonderful week at casa ele. loved the location close enough to town to walk yet far enough away for some quite time. The house and grounds are gorgeous and well secured . Jennifer is great and lives close by. She answered any questions we had. I would highly recommend a stay at casa ele.

Exactly what we wanted
My wife and I just finished a 1 month stay (February 10 - March 10 2018) in Casa Ela #1 and we were very pleased with the home. It was just as advertised and then some. The kitchen (I cook a lot) was well provisioned with that's needed. The A/C worked great as well as all other appliances. The TV is a smart TV so if you have Netflix you can access that. We barbecued outdoors on the patio many times and enjoyed our time at the pool every afternoon when returning from the beach. The location is ideal as its just about a 12 minute walk to the beach and the town center. Tamarindo is a ideal choice as it has so much to offer and the homes location puts you close enough to be able to walk to everything, beach, shopping and dining. The Thursday night market is 3 minutes away while the Saturday market is a 12 minute walk and there are 2 grocery stores within a 10 minute walk. Many great restaurants are available within walking distance and our favorite, Dragonfly, is a 5 minute walk and there is a great pizza restaurant, La Esquina, about a 3 minute walk away. Those looking for a gym have one right where the Thursday market is held so its about a 3 minute walk. While a car may be nice to have if you don't mind walking a car is not required, everything is that close. The other great feature of the house is that the agent, Jennifer, lives in 1 of the 4 houses that share the common grounds. She is most accommodating and helpful with suggestions or if in the unlikely event you have an issue. The property is gated and has a night time guard although we always felt extremely safe there or walking anywhere in the evening. We have no reservations highly recommending this property except for the fact we don't want competition as we will be returning every year.

Excellent relaxing experience
We had a wonderful 12 day stay at Casa Ela. Our house could comfortably host up to six guests. Beds and linen were great, too. the whole place is lovely in particular the porch and the pool. management and personnel very helpful, kind and efficient Walking distance to town around 15 min, just right to get you some exercise! we will be happy to return to Casa Ela in the near future.

Its better than the pictures!!!
This is our second time staying in one of the two rentals in a group of 4 houses. Jennifer the manager lives in a third...secluded with their own pool. Jennifer is always available for recommendations if needed.The home has high end finishes and furnishings so it will not disappoint. It is up from the town so its quiet but only a short walk to some of the best restaurants and the market....and beach. There is also 24 hour security but you never feel like its needed. We have never been disappointed and will return

Wow! Classy and comfy home minutes from everything.
Upon entering this house, it is clear that great love and effort was put into renovating it into a warm, welcoming, and comfortable home. The living space in the home is ample and spacious; there is plenty of elbow room for all of your family. The two king beds and two twin beds are new and comfy. The beautiful oversized sofa could even sleep 2 more if needed. Don't feel like eating out? Great! In the amply stocked kitchen you can cook up a nice meal from with groceries you bought at the store a 10 minute walk away. Take an afternoon nap on the covered patio on the new patio lounger. The common area gardens are well manicured and offer an oasis like feel. The pool is pristine and just the right size to keep you cool. The gated wall around the complex adds privacy and security. And the complex only holds 4 houses total. No busy crowds here. The house is just on the edge of town to add another layer of privacy, but is still walking accessible to everything you'd need. 3-5 minutes to restaurants, eateries, and bars; 10 minutes to beach; 15-20 minute walk to everything else in Tamarindo. Highly recommend. I will check here first when I return to Tamarindo.

Loved it!!!
Exceptinal place to stay. The house is cozy, I loved every single detail of it, great use of space. My family and I enjoyed our stay. The shops and bars are just down the street but it's super private and peaceful. You have a security guard at night so no need to worry about your car or stuff. The owner of the property lives near by, she was great. She was there when we arrived, showed us the house and told us that if we need it anything just to give her a call. We also met her husband, great guy over all. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you for a wonderful weekend!!
