Sometimes when you are looking on vacation rental sites you can get a little nervous about what your experience will be. All of us agreed this was the best experience we have had in all our travels. The condo was the perfect size, the best amenities, fully equipped and we met amazing neighbours from all over the world. You won’t be disappointed by choosing Casa Serena.

Spacious apartment with nice covered patio. Comfortable couches and a well equipped kitchen. Small , lovely pool to cool off . Appreciated the washer and dryer. Had a great stay and can highly recommended this place !

Gorgeous high ceilings. High quality quiet AC. Livable luxury - comfortable beds, great kitchen, beautiful spacious showers, easy toiletries. Wonderful private pool - clean clear water. Very responsive and friendly maintenance/ops staff. Awesome setting - beach, mango trees, Guanacaste trees, birds, monkeys. Quiet home with access to great restaurants, music scene, and nightlife. Walking distance to surf - shortboard and longboard waves. Great ocean swim spots in the protected bay also nearby. Quiet beauty of Playa langosta with close convenience of Tamarindo.

Clean and safe rental with easy access to Tamarindo. Property manager was very helpful in helping with transportation from the airport and to our next destination. Would definitely recommend!

It was great.

Beautiful Condo very clean. Sparkling pool close to restaurants and groceries. Nice beach walk to Tamarindo lots to do. Friendly neighborhood bar restaurant 3 min walk great food and fun. Beach short walk and amazing ! We will return.

We had a great Christmas family vacation staying out of this spot. We (couple + 2 kids) stayed here 6 nights, and all amenities including the kitchen, beds and baths were great. The property pool was great to relax in, and there are at least 2 good restaurants with great Italian food within 5-10 min walks. We hung out at Playa Langosta beach which is a 5 min walk and Tamarindo beach (short taxi ride) on 2 separate days. Both the beaches were awesome, with shallow sections and awesome views. The main town, with great restaurants and stores, was bustling with people so the place was a convenient distance away. We didn't rent a car due to our touring plans, but renting a golf cart may be useful, we couldn't as there weren't any available. We took private tours to the volcanoes and rain forests from here on 3 days, and the tours were also great. The tour guides made the drives very interesting and we often stopped to look at birds and animals they would spot. The only downside was the drive time from this beach town, as we had to do 2-4 hrs each way on each tour. But we chose this spot to be able to relax and enjoy the surroundings in the evenings and on the days we were not heading out, and that worked out perfectly. Jennifer was great, very responsive every time, and helped arrange the tours. Highly recommend this place for a beach getaway in Costa Rica! This was our first time in CR, and we will go back there for sure.

Need to change the block system.

Beds were super comfortable! Walked to surf most days, plus a couple short drives to Avellanes and Playa Negra for some high energy reef time. The internet was fast, the A/C was cold, and the people there were good people!

We walked to surf every day, takes about 3-5 minutes! The beds are nice for recovering from a long session, very comfortable! The deck was terrific for breakfast and sitting outside in the evening cool down too. I streamed the NBA games from my laptop onto the TV with the HDMI cable they had there instead of watching it in Spanish on ESPN there. The internet was fast enough that it streamed just fine. It was quiet all night, but in the morning when you open the door and windows the monkeys and birds are pretty darn vocal. It’s amazing to see so much life right there where you are staying. We will be back again thanks for everything!

The beds are the best I’ve ever had in the whole country! This place is on the second floor with no one above, so quiet quiet quiet! The pool had the clearest water of any pool I’ve used in Tamarindo area as well. This place has some wood cabinetry and wood doors that are obviously Spanish inspired, very artistic and beautiful condo. The covered porch was where I spent a lot of my time, overlooking the pool and out of the sun. With the window (fully screened) by the door open and the sliding doors to the veranda (also fully screened) open there was a nice breeze every day throughout the condo, keeping me cool and allowing me to listen to the birds and monkeys from inside as I worked! The AC was cold and powerful, but I only used it at night because of the great breeze that I just told you about. One of the best things about this place is that they use septic safe toilet paper! You can flush it! No need to do the stinky can thing like all the rest of the places I’ve stayed at in Costa Rica! Ive never seen that in Costa Rica before, and it makes a big difference in how the bathroom smells. No smell! I walked to three different surf breaks within a few minutes, each working on a different tide, and surfed literally every day for 10 days in a row! Gorgeous beach by the way! It backs up to a national park so you can walk south right into it on nearly deserted beaches. Or I walked north into busy Tamarindo along the beach, where there were tide pools along the way at low tide. Sunset near these tide pools was stunning. Then the restaurants and bars of Tamarindo, of course, gave up some serious nightlife. You can walk back on the road once it is dark. There is Langosta surf club, a bar, only 2 minutes walk away with cool people and good, affordable food. Fish and Cheese is maybe 5 minutes walk and is higher end and delicious! They had live music. You can’t hear any of this from the condo, it’s really quiet up there. The front door had a double deadbolt, and there was a safe inside the place as well so I didn’t worry about leaving valuables. Jennifer either answered the phone or got back to me right away when I had questions, which was handy. She seems to know everything about the area, and maybe everyone in the area as well! Her taxi guy was really helpful too. There is a guy, Alvaro, who cleans the pool every day and was there painting the building’s trim. Really nice guy, and he speaks a little English. I’ll be back for sure!

Jennifer was great to work with before and during our stay. Alvaro, the maintenance person was very attentive and keeps the grounds immaculate. Beautiful quiet pool and Jaccuzzi. Accommodations were as described and perfect for our party of two couples with two en-suite bedrooms. Costa Rican people could not be any nicer and extremely welcoming. Tamarindo was a lovely town with great restaurants and the Urgent Care was excellent.

Lovely condo a few steps to 5he quaint store.... The beautiful beach and close enough to Tamarindo that you can get away from the busyness. The suite has everything you need and is well looked after by the property manager.... He fixed my internet within a day of being informed..... I will miss it.

We enjoyed our vacation and thoroughly relaxed . The condo is fully equipped gourmet kitchen comfortable beds and peaceful. Sparkling pool to swim daily.You can walk to restaurants the beach groceries very convenient. Close to Tamarindo with many more restaurants bars shopping. We can’t wait to return.

Great place to spend a week or two in fact months as it is packed with all the amenities of home . Comfortable and stylish. I loved being so close to the beaches both Langosta and Tamarindo a very easy walk . I would highly recommend this Villa to families , couples or just a handful of friends. Have fun !

The condo came as advertised. Great pickup from the airport, met the property manager and the security guard/ gardener. Very clean pool hot tub onsite. Super spot we felt at home,nicely appointed, clean and well furnished. Everything you could ask for. A short walk to the amazing beaches and town, grocery store nearby and the local bus runs in front on the building. We spent 10 great days here. Local restaurants within walking distance. Check out the lical pizza place, Fish and Cheeses Italian and the sports bar.

This condo has everything you could need for a great stay, short or long term. It’s convenient to beaches as well as Tamarindo town with stores and restaurants and more beaches. The owner is very helpful and checked in with us regularly as we rented for a few months. She made suggestions for restaurants and activities. One of my favorite things about this condo is the top quality beds and linens. I can’t say enough about this place. We would definitely rent here again and recommend it to anyone.

I was lucky enough to call this place home for almost two weeks and I was in awe. The property was inviting when we arrived and the condo itself was immaculately clean. It's the perfect distance from Tamarindo, but there is a small grocery store within walking distance so taxis aren't always needed. The pool area was always kept clean. We would definitely return.

My wife and I vacationed here for two months in February and March of 2017. We loved the condo and the pool and the location. Easy walk to Playa Langosta beach in five minutes and Playa Langosta has a grocery store , a rental shop, a few restaurants and a bar. The walk to Tamarindo beach is 10 minutes and you are in town in 15-20 minutes along the beach. Kathlynn the owner is very nice and William the property manager is fantastic. There are only nine units, so quiet and Alvaro the security and maintenance person is always helpful and keeps the grounds very clean. We loved this condo, Tamarindo and Costa Rica! We operate vacation rentals in Sauble Beach Ontario and have travelled in many countries and we highly recommend Casa Serena in Playa Langosta. We will return. Mitch Grant Sauble Beach, Ontario.

We arrived at the airport and immediately found our smiling driver. He wisked us away to Langosta Beach. He helped us with our luggage and introduced us to the security. We felt immediately at home, the condo was gorgeous with super high ceilings, beautiful decor and two bedrooms with ensuite baths high closets and most importantly they were separated by the living room for ultimate privacy. There is even a powder room for guests. Our balcony was huge and overlooked the private pool. It was very quiet and private. The kitchen had all of the space you could ask for and we had no trouble getting everything we needed at the grocery store around the corner. We enjoyed walking to all of the beaches, watching the spectacular Pacific sunsets and visiting all of the local bars and restaurants. We had amazing culinary treats as well as finding a craft brewery right on the beach at Langosta. We enjoyed golfing at the beautiful Mariott course, and excursions were reasonably priced and pick and delivery right to the door. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay here, it was a perfect get away for us. Thanks to everyone who helped make it so easy and special.

First time in Costa Rica... did not know what to expect, but it surpassed my expectations. Beautiful villa with modern kitchen, marble floors, 14' ceiling (didn't measure, but they were tall), a/c, ceiling fans, balcony, swimming pool. You almost forget that there is much more to do outside. The beach is a 5 min walk and Tamarindo beach is a 15 min walk or a few minutes by car. Most excursions pick you up at your front door. We hung out mostly in Langosta, best tasting Pizza I ever ate, boogey boarding in the ocean and estuary finding strange seashells, and dune buggying. We did excursions: surfing, ziplining, horseback riding, excellent & diverse dining in Tamarindo and it was always a pleasure to return to a beautiful and relaxing Casa Serena. My son and I had a great time... bring lots of sun screen!

We had the pleasure of booking with Tamarindo Sunrise property management, and staying at Casa Serena in Langosta. William was amazing and the villa as described.. BEAUTIFUL. We arranged excursions and relaxed by the pool. Casa Serena is only steps from the beach, close to restaurants and shopping. We look forward to returning in the near future.

Stayed at Casa Serena with my girlfriend for 10 days and loved every second of it! Everything we needed was at our fingertips. We spent afternoons relaxing by the well-maintained pool. Walked to both playa langosta (a 5 minute walk) and downtown Tamarindo (10-15 minute walk) to relax on the beach and enjoy the amazing sunsets. When we decided to stay-in we found the the kitchen to be fully functional--with everything we needed to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The property itself felt very safe, I wouldn't think a security guard would be necessary at this location but It added to the peace of mind. The full time security guard (who is also an amazing guitarist) and the locals were extremely pleasant throughout our stay. In addition, the property manager helped us arranged various excursions and activities (highly recommend the Anteres sailboat tour) which was great for us as first time visitors to Tamarindo. We also found the local convenience store, located just around the corner, had almost everything we needed (fruits, veggies, eggs, beer, wine, snacks, sunscreen, etc.) We did not have a vehicle during our stay and never felt a need for one staying at Casa Serena. All in all we tremendously enjoyed our stay and will certainly return to this property in the future. I highly recommend both Playa Langosta and this villa in particular. It was great to get "off the grid" without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

Casa Serena was perfect from the moment we got there! The property manager William was there when we arrived and showed us around the beautiful condo. William told us all about Tamarindo and Langosta, where to eat, shop etc. And there was fruit waiting for us too when we arrived! SO SWEET! The place was so clean and spacious, the beds were so comfy and it had everything we could ever need for cooking, going to the beach and hanging out in the pool. Oh did i mention this place had an amazing pool too?! They even had a cleaning lady come halfway through our stay to make sure everything as clean. Casa Serena is walking distance from Playa Langosta and downtown Tamarindo so you are centrally located, no need for a rental car. Thank you Casa Serena for the perfect relaxing, romantic getaway!

Wow......what a great time!!! This was the first time my wife and I have not gone to an "ALL INCLUSIVE".....NO running down to the pool to get a chair....or dealing with intoxicated vacationers...lol This place has its own private pool....security guard 24/7....and ALL the amenities that made our stay so relaxing and memorable. All the restaurants and grocery stores are less than a 10 minute walk and the locals were very friendly and the beaches are amazing!!!!!
