About this property

INTIMATE VILLA WITH POOL MINUTES TO TAMARINDO AND 8 UNIQUELY AMAZING BEACHES

  • Welcome to our Costa Rican Villa retreat a perfect blend of tranquility and convienence. Located approximately 10 minutes North of Tamarindo which is a vibrant surf town, where you and your family can enjoy many beachfront Restaurants, Shops, Spa's and a fun night life. We are a short drive or UBER to more than 8 of the best beaches along the "Gold Coast" of Guanacaste. Great for Surfing, Snorkeling, Kayaking, Paddle boarding or just relaxing. We chose this area because we love the town of Tamarindo and all of the hustle and bustle but we didn't want to live in the middle of it. We preferred living in a quiet central location with a short and easy drive to all of the amazing beaches and activities. When you stay at our Villa, you will also get Dominic, he can be your personal concierge while in Costa Rica. Dominic speaks several languages and has extensive local contacts for rental cars, Volcano adventures, fishing & Sailing boats, surfing lessons and virtually anything else you need or might want to do. Dominic has saved our guest hundreds of dollars when booking excursions. Our goal is to make this trip as memorable and as safe possible. Perfect for couples, small families or a few close friends. Dipping pool with Ranchetta for additional space to chill. Public transportation directly in front of our villa including UBER now, available should you decide not to rent a vehicle. Proud to be a Premier Partner Host. Our home is strictly non-smoking non-vaping.

Wow, that sums it up the host is great, property is nice with no issues. Star of the show is Pantera the dog. Honorable mentions daily morning visits by the group of howler monkeys, iguanas and even bats hanging out in the balcony. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and this property and its host Domonic were exactly what we were looking for in a low key relax vacation, we will be back.

That was a second stay in Casa Castaway and loved every single day. The owner is very attentive of his guests and thought of everything to make our stay perfect. The property manager and cleaning lady are just leaving beside and that makes a huge difference to have them on site. In the future, l will look for the same so in case we need something, it is easy to get it. This villa has everything one family needs, from surf boards, amenities, kitchen stuff, etc.I strongly recommend this host and this villa!

Great spot to stay in CR

Wow, we really felt like we were in the perfect spot—both isolated and connected! Just a quick 15-minute drive from the lively coast, our family had the chance to unwind and enjoy the sounds of monkeys nearby. The house was super cozy and had everything we could possibly need. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway!

Casa Castaway

We loved our stay. The house was amazing and we loved the pool with the resident iguana. Fonz took a lot of time to talk to us about local recommendations from things to do, to places to eat. I really appreciated his availability. Dominic and Maria were super helpful too! A great place to stay!!!

Amazing stay near Tamarindo

Casa Castaway was a fantastic place to stay in Costa Rica. The pool and patio were inviting. The vibe of the house is a so cool between the surfboard decor and local art. The house is well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The location is close to many awesome beaches. We’d love to come back again.

It has it all!

Our stay at Casa Castaway was terrific! This house has everything you think you may have left at home and more. We used the kitchen and the grill and spent a lot of time in the pool. The dog who lives on the property was so friendly and we enjoyed seeing him every morning. This place is private but is also close to it all.

I don’t think we’ve stayed in a property that was better stocked. You don’t need to bring a thing. There’s markets very nearby, and the location is central to almost everything. The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures and comfortably slept our family with a whole different room to spare. Pool is beautiful.

Wonderful Vacation !!

We cannot say enough about Casa Castaway!!Alfons was very helpful with his recommendations from grocery shopping to restaurants and all the beautiful beaches that are in the area . The villa is amazing, comfortable and very clean , everything you can think of is there at your disposal. A home away from home .We enjoyed our daily breakfasts on the patio , relaxing by the pool or under the cabana and barbecuing an occasional dinner. The villas location is great, not right in the heart of Tamarindo but close enough and the grocery stores are not far. Domenic is a treat . He has many stories and it was a pleasure to meet him and Maria. Very special people . Pantera visited daily and we looked forward to her welcoming us back each day. Do not hesitate to book Casa Castaway. Our two weeks flew by and we look forward to visiting again some day soon .Thank you for sharing your amazing home . :)

The Perfect Home Away From Home

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely property! The location is perfectly located and just a $10-$15 Uber ride to various towns and beautiful beaches. It’s also right next to Guanacaste Children's Community Center, which was a big plus for our young kids! The house itself was wonderful! We particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower and the nice lounge area by the pool, which was ideal for relaxing and catching up on naps. The daily pool service was a great touch, keeping everything clean and inviting. We were delighted by the abundance of wildlife around the property, which added a special charm to our stay. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to cook meals at home. Multiple surfboards, snorkel sets, and beach necessities made our days at the beach feel like we were locals. The property literally comes with everything you could ever need for a home away from home. Dominic and Maria were such a delight and provided us with plenty of recommendations for local dining and activities. Their hospitality truly enhanced our experience. We felt well taken care of and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique, equipped, and convenient rental!

Best VRBO ever

We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBOs in a lot of locations, and Casa Castaway ranks right up there as one of the best! It was so thoughtfully appointed. Tons of towels, plenty of toilet paper and dish soap for the stay. The kitchen has everything you need. Bathrooms even had cotton balls and q-tips. It was like being at home. Board games and card games that they kids enjoyed. We even found some liquid band-aid that probably saved us a trip to the urgent care when a kid cut her foot on some rocks. I even noticed car seats/boosters for young kids. Loved that Dominic was close by for any questions. Panterra was always waiting for us in the evenings when we got home from an excursion. She was the kids’ favorite part of the house, second was the pool! We felt very safe here. Overall can’t say enough about this place. If you’re thinking about it, don’t hesitate, just book it!

This was our first time in Costa Rica, and I can’t say enough good things about this house! Extremely clean and very well-equipped and maintained. The house had everything we needed for our week’s stay with comfortable beds and sofas, the pool was perfect and a nice place to relax. The outside dining area was great, we ate breakfast out there each morning. Dominic was very friendly and was a great host. Pantera, the dog would visit us each morning and each evening to get pets. She also liked hanging out with me while I had my coffee by the pool each morning, The drive to town was not far, about 18 min. We had dinner at a few restaurants in Tamarindo watched the sunset and got to see a fire show We did a couple of excursions while in Costa Rica we did an ATV tour where we saw howler monkeys, we also drove the ATVs to a few other beaches, we made a pitstop at one beach and had the best mojito ever. We also did evening turtle nesting. It was a great experience and we saw quite a few turtles and even one laying her eggs. Overall, we had a great vacation Thank you Dominic and Pantera for making it great.
