We had our small Indian wedding with 18 guests at the villa. They were extremely accommodating and the property manager Dauly was very responsive and helpful. The house has everything you need for large groups. The pool was great and we spent a lot of time in it! The beach is only a few minutes away and is beautiful. Location wise it’s close to the main strip but far enough, just a short drive or a 15 minute walk to the town. Would stay here again!

I stayed with a group of friends at the beautiful house in Tamarindo. The house is gorgeous, as expected from the pictures of the property. The beach is a short 60 second walk down a nice little trail. The maids that cleaned throughout the week were incredibly nice and respectful of everyone’s property. Lastly, the property manager was excellent. He was able to check in and ensure we were finding our way around town and even set up a rafting excursion for our group. I couldn’t be happier with the property and would recommend it to anyone interested in staying in beautiful Tamarindo.

Myself and some friends stayed at this house. Amazing views, location could not have been better. The property was gorgeous with the beach right there.

My friends and I booked the house for a week for a surfing and mastermind trip. The location is in Langosta, just outside of Tamarindo in a much nicer and quieter part of town, but still within a 15 min walk or 3 min golf cart ride into town. We loved our house manager Dauly. He was the best resolving some issues we ran into and also helped with surf lessons for some of the guys. The house is massive, with plenty of space to spread out and you can walk right down to a beautiful beach. Highly recommend this property.

The property was amazing, with all of the amenities we, as a large group needed. The location is excellent for finding anything you might need. And Douli was a great help in many ways!!! We were thankful for his help!

The property is as depicted in description and pictures. Our stay was from 7/8/23 - 7/15/23. We had 21 family members, plenty of room inside and out. We opted to get a chef for breakfast and dinner for the sole purpose of preparing and serving Costa Rican cuisine. What we actually got were two maids doing double duty as cooks. The food did not meet my expectations. We were served pancakes one morning, French roast another breakfast. For dinner we were served canalonni. This is not Costa Rican food. The property manager whom I dealt with was Prashant. He is a minority owner and promised many things but delivered little. Prashant was not there to assist us with issues we had. Prashant bills himself as the Villa Concha concierge, manager, owner and promises to be onsite to address issues, he was in India. In my experience with Prashant, it became obvious that he did not track what we wanted because I had to either text him or email him with information I gave him on several occasions. Prashant was not trustworthy as he inflated prices. For example we opted to take the sunset catamaran cruise. Prashant quoted us a price of $2095 for 21. I checked similar cruises and they quoted $1400 for 21 people with food, unlimited drinks, snorkeling etc. The other contact person was a fine gentleman named Dauly. He was very attentive to issues but generally had to check with Prashant. Dauly is so well connected to the local businesses that he can accommodate most any request.

The house is beautiful and was perfect for our group of 15. The staff was efficient and friendly and the assistance we received from Dauly was great. We had some dinners at the house, prepared by the staff and they were very tasty. There is plenty of cookware and dishes if you cook for yourself, which we did for breakfast and lunch. We enjoyed our stay at Villa Concha!

Been to Costa Rica before so just want to say, this is in a prime location but Tamarindo has changed quite a but...much more commercialization and people. But this house is kind of away from town so good location. House was great, plenty of room for all 13 of us, can easily accommodate 5-6 people more and that is without the need for the extra casita. Location to the beach was great, though the path is shared with the public path so every now and then there were people walking directly behind the backyard. The beach is really nice with the lava rock but maybe not ideal if you are looking for pure sand beaches. For this, it is a 3 minute drive to Tamarindo beach for all the sand you need. If you are planning on going, I would highly, highly, highly recommend working with Dauly, the property manager. He came by each day and made sure everything was in good order. We even worked with Dauly for surfing lessons nearby and it was great. He knows all the locals and can make sure you get what you want for any trips or tours. I would also maybe wait until you are there to get a feel for the area and how long it takes to drive for each tour, it takes forever to drive through CR. But Dauly can set you up and make sure you and your family have a great time!! Pura Vida!

Wow - first I must say, this house was above and beyond our expectations! My husband and I booked this house for our wedding on June 16th, which held 50 people comfortably. My family and I stayed at the house, there was about 18 of us. It was absolutely perfect. It was super close to town, about 5-8 min golf cart ride. We all absolutely fell in love the house, it is seriously the perfect place to host a large gathering. The beach is to die for. The short path to the sand is stunning and full of wildlife. There was a little family of howling monkeys that we saw each day. I cannot recommend this house enough! It was so stressful planning a wedding from a different country, but if you're debating on this house as your venue - do it! Prashant helped with setting a few things up for us (golf carts, day of couples massage, and a large speaker). I had my own wedding planner to take care of everything else (419 wedding, they are AMAZING). I also cannot say enough great things about Dualy, the property manager. He was absolutely amazing and would do daily check-ins just to make sure everything was ok. He even arranged a cleaning service for the day of the wedding (which I did not even think of), and it was perfect. He was there at 9 am day of wedding picking up, moving furniture and helping any way he could. He even gave my husband a box of cigars as a welcome/wedding gift, he was awesome! Overall, it was seriously the most perfect house and wedding venue. 10/10!!!!!

Our stay was very nice and the house was beautiful.

We loved the villa. Very roomy for our party of 13 + 6 month old infant. Dauly was so helpful and kept everything running smoothly. Would have loved to be able to swim & surf on the beach in front of the villa but because of the rocks, we found a beach close by. Suggest renting a golf cart during your stay. We were so glad we did. Loved Tamarindo and the friendly locals!

This property is ideal for large families or groups. We had more than enough room for the 13 in our family, even rooms to spare. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and the pool area very much. You’re surrounded by beautiful views. Prashant, Dauly, Paola and Ale were the great and did their best to cater to our every need.

We recommend this property highly! Wonderful staff, accommodations were exquisite! It became our personal hideaway. Dauly was terrific as the property manager and concierge. Very helpful and resourceful.

Love everything about this home! It was so spacious and cozy. Rented it for my wedding party to get ready and it was perfect. Communication was super easy and quick. And the photos are accurate.

Our group had an amazing week at Villa Concha! The house was beautifully furnished and offered plenty of space for our large group. We spent most of our time in the gorgeous outdoor areas. We loved hanging out by the pool, relaxing under the cabana, and sitting by the fire table at night. Watching the sun set over the ocean right from our backyard was truly like paradise. We also loved spotting wildlife like howler monkeys and iguanas. The AC units worked great, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. We can’t say enough about how great Dauly, the concierge, was. He was friendly, attentive and super helpful. The cleaning service was also fantastic. The beach was gorgeous, however we did prefer to walk about 5 minutes down Langosta beach to a sandy area where we could swim and body surf free of rocks. There was a small grocery store about 2 blocks away and a charming restaurant/bar directly across the street, both of which we found so convenient for essentials or a quick bite to eat. We also walked into Tamarindo daily, a 15 minute stroll, and loved the wide range of shopping, dining, and live music in the vibrant beach town! We had an unforgettable vacation and would definitely recommend Villa Concha!

Our extended family of ten people had a 7 year old and 86 year old and people of various ages in between! Villa Concha was perfect for our needs! The best physical feature of the property is the pool. It’s in a picturesque location… shaded all day… well maintained / clean… and a safe depth. We spent hours and hours there day and night. The kids swam… the grandfather swam… it was glorious! The beach is truly just 1 minute away! Playa Langosta’s beach is much rockier than Tamarindo… high tide is quite active … but wow is it beautiful at low and medium tides. By far the best overall quality of the villa was the staff. The owner, property manager, and daily house staff made our stay very luxurious! They organized excursions, private chef meals, laundry, golf carts, special requests like (daily sliced fruit!). Everything was for an additional, well spelled out, and reasonable fee. The villa is perfectly situated on the outskirts of a very busy town. So there are endless restaurants and other amenities just a 5 minute golf cart ride away … but quite nicely, they are a full 5 minute golf cart ride away. A villa is not a hotel. It has tremendous privacy… but sometimes a light bulb or toilet doesn’t totally work and it takes a few hours to fix instead of minutes. This is true of every villa we’ve stayed in and this villa as well. This is a minor point in the context of the overall experience. It’s tough to find on google maps. Use this: 74RX+38M playa langosta Thank you Villa Concha!

Several months ahead of our Christmas 2022 stay at Villa Concha, I was worried whether we would have a good experience at this property. There had been terrible reviews from previous renters, with promises by management about upgrades, refurbishments, and repairs which would be made to the property during the fall. I can say that management came through, and the property served us very well. The house is in a gorgeous location with beautiful sunsets off the deck. The end of the path is a sandy/rocky beach which offers swimming opportunities at low tide, when you can work around the underlying rocks. You can walk into Tamarindo on the beach, but it is a pretty good hike. Dauly, the new on-site property manager and concierge, was very helpful with plans for transportation, tours and other activities as we prepared for our holiday, and also while we were there. Management had completed the furniture upgrades in the Casita #1 and Cabina and we used both accommodations in addition to the 7 bedrooms in the main house, which worked well for the adults and children. The only hiccup was a problem with the hot water in the Casita #1 which will be replaced shortly. The kitchen is very well-appointed. Dauly arranged for an outside cooking service to purchase provisions for, prepare, serve and cleanup following dinner on four nights. They satisfactorily prepared the menus that we requested and (not surprising) were best preparing Costa Rican dishes. Otherwise, we took care of ourselves for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Many of these meals were taken as part of tours and/or enjoyed at local restaurants (and there are many good ones). The pool was in great shape, with all tiles and lights repaired as promised. The pool deck and pool deck furniture were all pristine, which indicates that management followed up on previous negative comments by reviewers. Overall, this 10-bedroom house fit our family very well, and we had a good experience.

This place was really incredible! Our group of 12 had plenty of room and loved the areas where we could sit together and visit. We had a chef come and they had plenty of room in the kitchen and we all sat outside at the big table. Wonderful memories made here and the Owner/staff were excellent!

First impression wasn't great, the entry courtyard looked dingy. We were a little disappointed. The pool area was also tired, walls were dirty and paint was chipping, pool tile was falling off. However, the main living area was great (inside amd outside) and that is where we spent most of our time. The house definitely grew on us during our stay. I would say a little more refurbishment will go along way and they have done updates of the living area already. We left feeling much better about the home leaving than we did when we arrived.

We enjoyed our time at Villa Concha and the surrounding area. The property manager Dauly was super responsive, giving us great advice on activities in the area. He set up surf lessons, golf cart rentals and massages at the home which were very relaxing (not the surfing lol). We found the owner, Sharon also very responsive and helpful. The home is comfortable with great views, ample privacy, and plenty of room to spread out in all the outside spaces. Bedrooms are well appointed and spacious, with comfortable mattresses (huge plus). We spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool and eating at the large wood table on the outside deck. We could see monkeys moms with babies hanging onto them climbing around in the trees - was super cute. There is a nice beach walking distance from the house and other beautiful ones a short drive away by golf cart (golf carting around town is a great way to explore). The home is convenient to town (~2 minute drive) but set outside the busy area which was perfect. We had a great stay and were pretty surprised to see some of the recent negative reviews. We did see a few tiles missing in the pool, but it wasn’t super glaring or anything. I noticed this on another review, but I didn’t think it was a problem. Overall summary: beautiful house, great location, cute monkeys

Enjoyed our stay in mid August 2022 at Villa Concha especially being surrounded by trees and secluded while still being beachfront. The views of the ocean and trees are amazing! There is plenty of room for large groups to spread out in the outside spaces and ample seating around the pool. The home was clean and neat upon arrival. We enjoyed the daily visits from monkeys in the trees around the home and loved to watch all the babies playing. We enjoyed the beach in front of the home and took long walks every morning. We were also able to use boogie boards to catch some waves! We are not surfers but there were definitely lots of surfers catching waves on the beach which we enjoyed watching. Dauly the local property manager was great to interact with and answered all our questions on check in. He also helped us set up some activities. We loved the outside showers that the owner told us had recently been refurbished. The home is huge and can definitely accommodate a lot of people. Beds were comfortable and we appreciated the colorful beach towels that were provided for use. The owner told us that she had recently upgraded a lot of the furniture at the home and we enjoyed the décor in our rooms and throughout the home. We visited the restaurant across the street for breakfast and ate dinner in town several times which is convenient to the home. We would love to come back for a longer stay and hope to do so in the future!

We booked Villa Concha and a 2nd VRBO House close-by, for a week in Aug 2022 for our large group: (38 total - 17 kids and 21 adults). This is our 10th VRBO house rental. Overall, Villa Concha fit our large family and we are satisfied we stayed here. If your group is smaller and/or just want a nicer house, I would suggest looking elsewhere for a nicer- maintained house with better amenities and cost, and Attention to Detail. We'd stay at 2nd house in a heartbeat. Pros Fit 26 /38 of us, so we fit in 2 houses Variety and # of bedrooms (kids only in bunkbeds) Dauly, mgr in Tama, was responsive to texts - get WhatsApp to communicate in CR Ice Maker is fabulous Pool is big All BRs and kitchen/main area have A/C Cancellation policy Cons Overpromised, Overpriced, and Underdelivered: After months of emails and Chats with Prashant with “I’ll send an email tonight with the info; I’ll give you the best price” and no followup, we gave up and arranged excursions ourselves online. We also were glad that we saved on his Concierge Fee. Lack of attention to Detail: After check in, we had to request towels for 6 of our group, paper towels, water jug refill, trash bags for kitchen, and soap and shampoo bottles in bathrooms empty, and where the lightswitches were. No hand towels in bathrooms. The front gates are not lit at night other than dimly from the street lights, so the metal posts in the ground for both doors are major tripping hazards. Rocky beach and Pool: This house is on a rocky beach and swim area with lots of tide pools. Swim area is 15 mins away and Surfing south of house for experienced surfers bc of riptides (per the lifeguard there). No lights in pool (per Dauly), and too dark with the deck lights, so kids didn’t swim at night. That was a bummer. Expensive Cleaning Crew: We thought the amount charged for housekeeper cleaning 2 times for a one week stay for 26 was egregious. If a clean house is important to you, check out other VRBO house listings in area about daily cleaning. This house will only have a cursory cleaning. Maintenance: furnishings/cushions aren't new, or have faded and stained quickly, the pool tile not replaced, one AC leaked even when off. Grout is missing/eroding from floors (esp in upstairs BRs and one Casita). Dishwasher soap doesn’t come out unless soapdoor is open, and soap scum and rust on bottom. With some major TLC, this will be the "Luxury Beachfront Retreat" being promised. Right now, it's just "Beachfront".

The experience was amazing. What a great Country to visit. The kids had the time of their lives. We loved having dinner each night at the house with our group of 19. A reminder to everyone who travels to Costa Rica. They have a laid back lifestyle as well as mentality. Roll with the punches and enjoy the experiences.

Enjoyed our stay at Villa Concha. Just wish it could have been longer. The location is perfect, close to town but very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful views of the ocean from the outside seating areas and enjoyed walks on the beach. The owner told us before our arrival they had just added in new furniture and decorations and we really appreciated these enhancements. Very comfortable. We enjoyed the new Turkish towels used at the home which are so soft and great for beach and bath in the home and environmentally friendly which is very important in Costa Rica. We appreciate these efforts to support water conservation efforts in Costa Rica as we are big on being environmentally friendly in our own practices. That was nice to see. The home is very comfortable and we enjoyed relaxing in the pool. Of course it’s a beachfront home surrounded by nature so some critters and leaves are to be expected but we enjoyed watching the wildlife and being surrounded by the greenery. We were able to enjoy a poolside massage and catered meal at the home during our stay. We hope to return with our whole family!

PLUSES: KITCHEN - The kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances, and nearly everything you would need to cook for and serve 20. There is a large refrigerator, freezer, two ovens, a microwave, and a separate bar area with a mini fridge and icemaker. Our 19 adults never wanted for ice. There is a large table on the patio for meals. The outdoor palapa has a mostly functional gas grill. POOL - The pool is missing quite a few tiles, but was maintained by a guy who came every 2-3 days. There are lots of chaise lounges, two nice umbrellas, and the outdoor palapa can seat 10-12. It took a couple of days to find the pool light switch. TRIP HAZARD...running across the pool deck is a 3" high x 3" wide raised area that is tiled like the pool deck, so it is EASY to trip over. BEACH ACCESS - As advertised, there is a 265' path from the pool to the beach. The metal security gate does NOT work, and the path to the beach beyond that is also accessible to the public, but we didn't see many people there. More trip hazards just past the gate, but the path is nice. The beach is a bit rocky, but very nice. MINUSES: SERVICES - We were getting married with 17 great friends as guests, so our needs were pretty simple, but we barely pulled it off... -DO NOT RELY ON THE HOST to arrange services for your group! Despite his claims, he is NOT a wedding planner. Rarely communicated, lack of detail, and distracted by frequent travel. -DO NOT RELY ON VRBO to provide accurate information regarding their own policies. CASITA'S - One casita is MUCH larger than the other, and both are pretty dilapidated. The small one is stark white, with cheap furnishings. The larger one hasn't been updated in a while. The room safe in the closet had been drilled out and opened, and was still there. Only 1 of 2 AC units worked. LIGHT SWITCHES - About two dozen unlabeled light switches to control the kitchen, living room, and dining patio lights/fans. We never found some switches, and some lights were broken. The palapa light/fan switches are hidden. LAUNDRY - Both laundry rooms were locked for most of our visit. SLEEPS 20 - If you have kids. Most of the villa rooms are spacious, but six of the beds are bunk beds in a tiny room. If you want to host a bunch of adults at similar levels of comfort and luxury, don't count the bunk room and casita's, and plan on a max of 12 adults.

Villa Concha is totally over-hyped!! Villa Concha is not a luxury accommodation but a 2- to 3-star experience at best. The main house, casitas, pool area and property need extensive maintenance and refurbishment. The fit and finish of the property is poor. Additionally, the owners need to buy new linens, towels, toilet seats and some furniture. Beyond that, the whole house needs a deep cleaning and check that all systems are working properly: Shower heads are clogged, water was pooling in a bathroom, ancient room safes are difficult to use, and the WIFI doesn’t work in the casitas. Key features such as the saltwater pool, maid service, top-quality linens and concierge services are exaggerated if not completely misrepresented: • If the pool ever was saltwater, after the grounds staff came two days into our stay, there were chlorine tablets in the filter and the clear smell of chlorine in the pool. • Pool tiles litter the bottom of the pool, and there are many bare spots. • Although the listing advertises two washers/dryers, we were not allowed to use them and told that we should give the maids only “essential laundry” to wash. • “Maid service” was two young women, scheduled to come just two days while we were there. Cleaning all rooms/bathrooms and washing all towels/laundry in that time is an impossible task, even though one woman came extra hours to wash the towels. • The trash bins outside the Villa, where we were told to take our trash, were completely full when we arrived. The concierge asked us to store it in the foyer until trash was picked up (at some unknown time). • The top-quality beds/linens advertised were far from it, and the towels were even worse: Two bath towels and one wash cloth were placed in each room. The towels are tattered and worn, and many should just be thrown in the rag bin. Forget the concierge and do it yourself! • It was impossible to confirm detailed menus with him, even after weeks of trying. The catering service we ended up using offered menus online and cost 40% less than the concierge quoted. • Transportation services was quoted at least 30% higher, and in one case 300% more than direct. • The concierge said he couldn’t find golf carts for us, but we found them that same day for 25% less. • A trip to an adventure park was quoted at double the price we paid by going direct. In summary, Villa Concha is not a luxury accommodation nor is it worth the price.

Don't stay there. This house is in really poor condition

We all had a wonderful stay at Villa Concha! Beautiful views and great walks along the scenic beach. Sunsets were absolutely amazing! Close to great restaurants and town. We really enjoyed the pool and outside seating areas. Indoors, floors and bedrooms were neat, tidy and clean. Will definitely be back!

Had an awesome getaway at this tranquil and scenic villa! Awesome beachfront location with great views and proximity to town. Was a short stay, but planning to return for a future corporate retreat at Villa Concha. A noteworthy highlight was seeing monkeys playing right from the pool! The villa was clean and comfortable. I was also impressed with the communication of the host.

We loved our stay at Villa Concha. We booked a short stay as we wanted to experience the property for a future family get together. It did not disappoint! The location is very convenient to town and we loved the daily visits from wildlife and long walks on the beach. Very quiet and peaceful location. The property is up to date and well maintained. The pool area and outside decks made for wonderful outdoor living. We will be back and already checking dates to confirm future family reunion next year. We cannot wait to come back for a long stay!

Based on the property's description I was expecting a beautiful and well-furnished villa, with beautiful views and nice access to the beach. However, the property is sadly not being properly maintained, so their reviews will probably decline with time. The villa still has some nice features (unique tables and beautiful views), but it has items that are undesirable (broken toilet seat, dishwasher not working properly, some stove burners not functional, etc.), and other items that were unsafe/unacceptable (doors to the outside with broken locks and exposed wiring). The property owner/manager was polite and sent cute emojis, but they did not follow-up as promised to secure the doors. Basically, this property is not safe and the owners do not seem to care. To be clear, I can go from the public path (along side the house) to the inside of the house within a half-minute through any of six different unlockable doors. Miscellaneous impressions: * The curb appeal was less than I was expecting, but the villa is beautiful looking up from the beach. * I was surprised the front door was unlocked when I arrived. There is a public path along the side of the house and nothing to stop someone from walking along that walk right up to the front door. * The front door handle is super-loose and big gap between front doors. * The living room and kitchen have great views and are spacious * The overall condition was a little dirty/grimy, and the walls had large dents and needed painting. * There are lots of bedrooms - they are roomy, but not as clean as expected. * An outlet was hanging off the wall in the children's room (room with bunk beds), with bare wire exposed (safety issue). I attached the outlet to the wall and put the cover plate in place. However, I found it very odd that they would rent a place with bare wires exposed. * Nice view from a couple upstairs bedroom. The deck off the bedrooms also has spectacular views... but the bathroom windows in the master suite were so dirty that it distorted the view to the front. * The tiles are coming off the swimming pool walls, which was fun for the kids to look for tiles at the bottom of the pool. Overall, we had a fun vacation, but the villa did not meet our expectations.

We had a wonderful time at the Villa Concha. Prashant was outstanding in helping us do and get whatever we needed. He suggested several local restaurants and they were all excellent. Food is fantastic here. We experienced a lot of wildlife and really enjoyed the holler monkeys. Even spotted three whales!!! Wonderful trip! Rent golf carts as it made going out so much easier.
