First off, the house is absolutely stunning. Plenty of space for everyone, especially outdoors. The pool was the #1 spot for everyone for sure. If we weren’t in the pool, the tidal pools were a great place to hang out for sunsets and beach time. Mariam was a fantastic host and always there when we had any questions. The housekeeping crew was constantly keeping things tidy and helped make a few breakfasts and cocktails for us. We used Flamingo foods for a majority of our breakfast lunch and dinners and they were so wonderful to have so highly recommend them! There is an identical layout of bedrooms and living space on each floor so we often hung out downstairs while they cooked upstairs. It’s only a short drive from Tamarindo which is amazing. Definitely check out Lola’s (10 minute drive) and the beach club (5 minute drive or ten minute walk) - both were quite lovely.

The photos of this property don’t do it justice. The gated golf community where this property is located is also beautiful and secluded so you feel safe and secure. The rooms are all gorgeous and the beds extremely comfortable. I don’t recall anyone in our group of 14 complaining about their beds or sleep. The pool is amazing with an infinity edge that overlooks the beach. The management staff at “Stay In Tamarindo” were SOOO helpful and made our stay extra special and stress free. A big shout out to Mariam who fielded a ton of questions from our group before and during our stay. I can’t say enough about this property - stop searching and just book it!

This rental has it all - beautiful view, great pool, beachfront, great layout. We had an amazing vacation and can’t wait to go back!

Our week at Casa Costa Blanca was so relaxing and peaceful! The outdoor space and pool are second to none. The sunset views from the beach are stunning. The staff takes care of all your needs. The concierge, Mariam, is so helpful and efficient in planning everything and answering all your questions. We used the airport transport service and had rental cars delivered to the house. This was very convenient and we were happy to have our own vehicle for trips to Tamarindo. We used a chef service for a few dinners which everyone enjoyed. We loved Lola’s, Pangas Beach Club, and Dragonfly for restaurants. The Beach Club on the property is very nice for lunch and swimming at the beach with availability to rent surf and boogie boards. We enjoyed zip lining, horseback riding, golf, and a sunset catamaran cruise. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this property is. We will definitely return to this peaceful paradise!

Amazing on all fronts. One of my favorite memories of our whole trip is when we pulled up and got to explore the property our whole crew (3 families - 6 adults and 7 kids teenagers) were completely blow away. It was an incredible place to stay for our vacation. 100% recommend everything about this place!

Our family of 10, six adults and 4 kids had the best time! Very pretty, very well taken care of home with a truly amazing pool and cabana area. We were outside almost nonstop! We arranged a few excursions thru the concierge Mariam who was very helpful with planning before and then during when we needed rides, hired masseuses or had questions. We had a fishing trip, zip lining and hired a wonderful Chef and his wife Adriana to come to make dinner one night. We rented two six seater electric carts to get around to other beaches, the Beach Club ( lunch, pool, rented boogie boards) and Lola’s restaurant. The house staff was excellent. Great breakfasts and any appetizers or pico or smoothies you would want, they will make. William is the maintenance person and was around if anything needed to be fixed or worked on. Highly recommend Costa Blanca! We did not rent a car so we did need to hire a car to go into Tamarindo for groceries. It was fine, but next time we will plan our food shopping a little better. We went in three times. Auto Mercado was an excellent grocery store.

Our family loved this home. The property was immaculately maintained and the onsite housekeepers and gardener were amazing. We rented golf carts and used them to get around the community. There is a beautiful beach about a 10 minute golf cart drive away. We snorkeled in front of the house during low tide and explored the tide pools that form out on the rocks. The howler monkeys hung out in the trees next door and we saw lots of iguanas, birds, and baby sea turtles. A perfect stay for all ages.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house!

We visited with our extended family (ages 14-81) over Thanksgiving and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our group of 14 was more than comfortable and we loved the house, pool, and location. We rented 2 large golf carts for the week which made traveling to the Beach Club and JW Marriott easy. We walked from the Beach Club to Lola's twice and enjoyed surfing and lunch (the walk is just over a mile). Our housekeepers were lovely and kept the house spotless. Mariam made the whole trip easy - arranging our airport shuttles, golf carts, in-house massages, and recommending caterers (we had 2 dinners catered at the house). We bought most of our groceries in Tamarindo on a day trip early in the week. Next time, we'll be more organized and buy more in Tamarindo. We supplemented our food with trips to the market in Hacienda Pinella, but supplies there were limited and expensive. We highly recommend this property and hope to return!

Stayed for a week and this was literal paradise! The location was great - close to Tamarindo and anything we needed. The concierge helped us with ALL last minute items we asked about (rental car, surf boards, etc). The property is within a gated community and we felt completely safe and at ease during our stay. You pretty much have a private beach all to yourself - it is rocky and not very swimmable during the day but still gorgeous and we did snorkel some! The pool was more than enough for us to swim. Rooms are LARGE and everyone had enough space to spread out and be alone if they wanted too. Outdoor space is the best part - we grilled every night and loved how much outdoor seating this house has - couches, loungers, tables, etc. I cannot say enough good things about this beach house, we made so many memories here we will cherish for a lifetime! The only minor thing was construction next door got very loud during a few days of our stay and we did have a slight issue with the hot tub. The concierge Mariam was always on top of sending the pool crew out to look at the hot tub but for some reason it did only work for a little more than half the days during our stay and the other half it was cold/jets did not work. WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BOOK even with that issue and we plan to return for a reunion trip in a few years !! Amazing service and zero issues!! Thank you so much Mariam!

This property was amazing! It is even more beautiful than in the pictures. Our group of 14 had a great stay here. It is easily accessible to lots of the small beach towns in the area and Mariam was incredibly helpful throughout our stay answering any and all questions quickly. We would go back in a heartbeat, highly recommend!

Exactly as described. This place is amazing. We will be back!

Over the past 4 years we have rented 5 homes for family vacation. This home was great and had plenty of room for our family. We had one issue with the AC in a bedroom that was never properly repaired, but AC can take parts that need to be ordered. House keepers and manager were wonderful. The house itself is within a gated community, which includes a JW Marriott. There is a beach club that is available for use of residents and guests. The beach was vacant most of the time unlike may beaches in Costa Rica. Plan on needing transportation rent a car, as Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo are about 30 minutes away. While there we had an accident and found the emergency health care in Tamarindo to be excellent. While the clinics are not equal to the ones in the US the doctor and staff were excellent. We needed an X-ray and had to be taken to another clinic to have the X-ray taken then back to have a shoulder reset. Great service. All in all this is a vacation that was easy, lovely and very private. If you are looking for night life, and hustle and bustle for a vacation this is not it. If you want to have family time undisturbed, read a book and just relax this home is perfect.

Recently took my family to Casa Costa Blanca in Costa Rica and had a fabulous time there. The home was spacious and clean and the outdoor sitting area was perfect. The housekeepers are so sweet and kept the home looking clean and tidy. The swimming, surfing beach is about 10 minutes drive from the house with a pool and food items. Great time had by all.

Wonderful property, location. We had a great experience.

We had 10 adults that stayed here. The property is exactly like the pictures. The outdoor patio and pool are amazing. The service was top notch. They set up excursions and rides for us and everything worked out perfectly. The breakfast they made was delicious. This house is a 20-25 minute drive from most restaurants, stores, etc so if you don’t have a car you need to plan ahead for a ride. We all loved this vacation and would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location, property and staff!! Miriam was amazing from the day we booked, organizing 2 great cooks, and all our activities!!! Couldn't have asked for a better vacation!!!!

Costa Blanca was a beautiful home and extremely well cared for. Mariam and the team at Stay in Tamarindo could not have been better. They coordinated our tours, gave great suggestions on local dining and activities and Marvin and Gabby were outstanding. There is so much to do we will be going back soon.

We spent as much time as possible enjoying the awesome outdoor kitchen area, which provided great shade options. There were too many great seating options , it was hard to choose sometimes! The rooms worked perfectly for our group size. The staff made us delicious breakfast every morning, and even made us some of the best homemade pico de Gallo and tortillas we've ever had! Overall, 10/10 would recommend!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Casa Mar Azul was truly amazing. From the newly refurbished infinity pool/jacuzzi, BBQ and adjoining dinning/leisure deck and the panoramic ocean just foot steps away, to the lush surrounding grounds filled with native Costa Rican wildlife, the exterior of this facility, again, was truly amazing. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, the interior of this hacienda was just as special. Too many bedrooms to count, each with their own bathroom/shower, view and individual climate controls. Beds appeared to be new and very comfortable and the rooms were well appointed with more than adequate furnishings. Two separate grand rooms, including kitchens, one upstairs and one down. Very spacious and everything worked! We had 18 people and not once did we fill cramped. More could be said about this facility, but I think you get the picture - this, again, is truly an amazing place. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED ��. The Concierge Mariam was very helpful in arranging activities and ensuring our stay was amazing. The housekeeper and groundskeeper were very friendly and kept the house spotless. If you are looking for the perfect peaceful place that is secure and just close enough to the store, Tamarindo and my favorite beach bar and grill Lola's then don't hesitate this property is worth every penny and then some. The Pura Vida is STONG here! Thank you for making our vacation special...pura vida!

We had an amazing couple week stay at this incredible beachfront property. This stunning house is perfectly located on a private beach just 30 minutes south of Tamarindo in between two famous surf spots just a short drive away. The house was absolutely beautiful, well decorated and very spacious with impressive pool and ocean views. The property was lovely with lush greens, palm trees, a pristine infinite pool and palapa area with outstanding ocean views. Very peaceful neighborhood and very private! We spent most of our time outside enjoying the pool, beach, spectacular sunsets, sounds of nature and occasionally seeing some wildlife. This place is Paradise, we had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to come back again soon!!

We loved this home! It was clean and inviting, the beach is just a short walk out the back door and the pool/hot tub were to die for! We are hoping to bring our whole family with us next time as there is plenty of room!

Property exceeded expectations. Very comfortable, with attentive staff. Infinity pool with jacuzzi overlooking ocean was gorgeous! Location very private & quiet. We were the only ones in the beach. Highly recommended!
