Great Casita!
Bert’s property is a gorgeous location in Langosta. All his recommendations were spot on and he made the check process so easy. If you’re looking for a great spot with access to everything this is the place!

Absolutely stunning!
Our stay at this vacation rental in Costa Rica was a dream come true. The property was immaculate, with breathtaking views of lush greenery and the ocean. The accommodations were comfortable and well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect, offering both tranquility and easy access to nearby attractions. The highlight was definitely the outdoor space, where we spent our evenings watching the sunset and listening to the sounds of nature. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring our stay was nothing short of perfect. We can't wait to return!

Bert was very helpful with checkin instructions and recommendations of places to check out. I was solo and felt very safe. Beautiful pool on location, steps from the beach and a 5ish minute Uber ride into downtown, can’t beat it!

A wonderfully welcoming stay!!
We loved our trip to Tamarindo, Bert is the most welcoming host we have encountered during our trip to Costa Rica and went over and above to make sure we felt at home and had a wonderful time. We ate at several of Bert’s recommendation - trust the expert here!!! The location is absolutely perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre but a perfect walk either down the road or along the most beautiful beach. It is SO close to the beach which is fantastic, and the property itself is pristine, modern and beautiful.

Sweet Stay!
We loved staying here at Playa Longosta, the host/owner Bert was very accommodating as my VRBO app was not working properly upon arrival, which can be so nerve-racking. Bert walked us through all the steps to get to his charming studio with refreshing pool and beach access. In addition, he gave us recommendations to special spots to dine around, and they were spot-on and created forever lovely memories. We look forward to coming back to this magical place.

The location and property are just perfect. Owner is incredibly helpful, kind and flexible- I could not have asked for a better host. The location is an easy 10 min walk down the beach to town, and easy access to playas Tamarindo and Langosta. I am so sad to leave- what an amazing place.

Bert was one of the best hostess we’ve come across on our travels. The location was perfect, just far enough outside Tamarindo, yet still close enough. The room was great for two with high end finishes and enough features for our short stay. Highly recommend this property

Sweet spot for quick getaway
Secluded (in Tamarindo terms), beautiful night sky without the dust, traffic, lights and noise of downtown. We didn't need a car at all but a golf cart might be good if planning to spend more than a few days. Easy shuttle from Liberia airport right to the property and back again. 15min walk to all the restaurants and shops downtown. 10 min walk on the beach to Langosta beach club and Ocho restaurant (pricey food and drinks, but good swimming areas on the tamarindo side). 5 min walk on the beach to Sueno del mar BnB (awesome 3 course breakfast spot serving the public from 7-11am on the Langosta side). Keep walking at low tide for beautiful shells and cross over the estuary into national park. Back at "home" the property is well cared for. The pool is delightful for cooling off any time day or night. King bed and AC made sleeping super comfortable. The description is accurate (mini fridge and k-cup coffee maker). The amenities list is a bit misleading though. If you'd like to use laundry, microwave, dishwasher, or have dishes on hand you'll need to ask/ borrow from the owner. Bert was very gracious about all requests and even picked up a few things at the grocery store for us the first night. We throughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this place for couples looking for a simple relaxing getaway. Pure Vida!

Perfect spot in Tamarindo!
We were in Tamarindo for a wedding, and this place was wonderful. Bert made everything super seamless, and we felt right at home. This home is located in a gated area only 30 seconds from the beach. It is perfect for a couple or solo traveler who plans to explore the area. The space is quaint and cozy, but has everything you need if you are planning on eating out for meals. We ended up not renting a golf cart, and just walked to Tamarindo for food and fun. This place is ideal and beautiful!

Perfect Trip!
The property was perfect! It was amazing to get to stay in such a high end neighborhood and Villa without needing to pay for more beds/space than I needed. The location was an excellent launching point for a day or night out in town accessible by a quick walk down one of two beaches or road. In the other direction there is another beach that leads to a river mouth and turtle sanctuary. The studio was spacious and comfortable. Loved having access to the Villa’s private pool, parking and nearby beaches. Joah was a great host and was able to provide insider advise and help setting up activities!

Perfect modern studio, close to the beaches
We loved our stay at Casita Tuis. The grounds were gorgeous and it was so close to everything. You have the option of walking to 2 different beaches that are 2 mins away as well. The sunsets were just perfect to watch from the beach. The bed was super comfortable and big and there was A/C so sleeping was perfect. The pool is so refreshing and the patio is perfect for lounging. We had easy communication with Sol and Carolina, and they made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back!

My girlfriend and I loved Casita Tuis and our host Joah. Joah was so friendly and accommodating. Showing us around, answering questions weeks out, and making us coffee every morning. I will be back soon to stay again. The place was so clean and modern. Minutes from the beach. Would recommend to anyone.

Fabulous property & ideal location
Joah and Bert were friendly and accommodating during our stay. Their property is modern, comfortable and perfect for a vacation in the beach town of Tamarindo. The location is within walking distance of two beaches and the main streets and has access to everything. I wish we had stayed longer - thank you both for a wonderful stay in Costa Rica!!
