Villa holiday rentals in Pinilla

Wow! What an amazing place. We would love to stay at Adam’s again (and probably will!). This was our first time in Costa Rica and what an introduction! There were 6 of us—a family of 4, and a couple. The apartment upstairs was perfect for the teenagers, giving them their own privacy and autonomy, even though the gathering area was definitely by the pool (where we spent most of our day and night). The house itself was kept cool by the AC and very clean and as described—really gorgeous place. It was stocked well with so many games, which we never got to play because we were so exhausted because of the heat—the hot dry season is no joke but thank god for that pool. The neighborhood and location was also hard to beat. Just a quick golf cart jaunt into Tamarindo (or you can grab a scooter in the area) tho there was a market and several great restaurants in walking distance. Place also was quiet/ felt very safe. Oh and Adam and Claudia went above and beyond! Can’t say enough nice things!

This home is beautiful and spacious. If you’re looking for a private more secluded area this is perfect for you. We were able to fit comfortably and the house had everything we needed. Diane and the concierge team were very responsive before and during the trip.

If you’re looking for a beautiful place to stay that is convenient to downtown Tamarindo but quietly removed in a private, gated community, PiPPi’s Villa is it! My wife, son, and I spent many afternoons lounging by the backyard pool after a day of beach combing, swimming in the ocean, or souvenir hunting in town, just a short walk away. A favorite feature for us was the “Casita” guest house. Our son retired to it in the evening giving my wife and I privacy in the main Villa. We would also enjoy our morning coffee in the Villa’s beautiful flower garden which was visited each day by a dozen, multicolored dragonflies. Quite a unique experience. Our Host, Helena, was terrific! Very responsive, respectful, and helpful with any questions or concerns we had during our stay. On our next trip to Costa Rica, we will definitely try to spend part of it enjoying PiPPi’s Villa.

Lovely home very spacious and fully equipped from top to bottom. Super comfortable. Great beds and luxurious sheets. Beautiful pool. Wildlife everywhere! Howler monkeys and beautiful birds. And some amazing iguanas

Adriano and Deniz were wonderful hosts! Our stay at this Casa Dina was truly exceptional! From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a smooth and enjoyable trip. They went above and beyond by coordinating a private chef and arranging shuttles to and from the airport, making our experience completely stress-free. One of the highlights of our stay was Shirley, who took such great care of us. She made us delicious breakfasts on two mornings and kept the house spotless every day. She was so sweet and welcoming—it felt like having a family member looking after us! The host was also incredibly flexible with our requests and always quick to assist whenever we had a question. Their hospitality and attention to detail made our trip unforgettable. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate—you’ll be in great hands! Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Villa Burracuda is an amazing villa located in the heart of Playa Grande. The villa has ample space, amazing outdoor area and a large pool. One of the largest we have found in Playa Grande. Everything was exactly as described and has everything one could need for a sunny getaway. Within easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants and local shops, there is always something to do. Guanacasa Management team was beyond helpful and accommodating to our needs- from early check in, to fantastic commutation and even helped us when we had a personal issue arise. They are simply wonderful hosts and I cannot say enough good words about them! You will not be disappointed at staying at one of their properties. Thank you to the whole team for making our stay memorable!! Pura Vida!!

Absolutely great hosts! Extremely easy to check in. Very responsive!

Wow! What an incredible place. We loved it! Great value. The pool is fantastic. The architecture is amazing. Fabrice was a perfect host! I’d absolutely come back again!

Beautiful home and a nice location to walk to town and golf cart to beach. Host was responsive and friendly. Concierge service was great!

We were a group of 8 people spending a week together for the first time. We had an amazing time and loved ‘our’ house and location. The presence of our housekeeper (Fresia) was undeniably the greatest benefit, and we are very grateful for her attention and responsiveness. Between Jennifer and Fresia, we felt cared for and heard. Both responded with speed and effectiveness and we were so grateful! Loved the area…Playa Grande and Tamarindo did not disappoint!!! Thank you Jennifer!

We had three families, 11 people, and the house gave us plenty of space. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep and there were plenty of bathrooms for all. The views in person were beyond amazing, even better than the photos, and the in-door/out-door living space allowed us to enjoy them all day long. The pool was clean and the patio area provided many relaxing lounging areas with shade. We watched the sunsets each night before enjoying a wonderful meal prepared by Chef Marco. I would highly recommend taking advantage of the chef and bartender services. Everything we ate was delicious from the predinner snacks, to the drinks prepared by Manuel, to the beautifully presented dinners. There was enough food to enjoy the leftovers for lunch. Juan Carlos was very responsive and greeted us upon arrival. He helped us navigate anything we needed including excursions, trips to town, and massages with a masseuse that came to the house. We would definitely stay here again!

This vacation home was exactly what we were looking for with our 4 children. It was close to the beach and we were able to walk there, in addition there were a few close restaurants we could walk to that had great food for both us adults and children. The pool area was great as well, great lighting on the pool, perfect temperature, and big enough for them all to swim and cool off! Added bonus, we even got to see howler monkeys in the trees behind our house a few mornings! Tomar was very responsive and had great recommendations for us as well. Definitely would travel here again!

I can't say enough about this place. It was even more beautiful than the photos. The location was amazing - right on the beach and walkable to all of Tamarindo's restaurants and activity. Yet it felt safe and quiet. The house was beautiful, the staff friendly, and the pool a welcome break from the beach. I would give it 10 stars if I could. And Nick was amazingly responsive to every question and request we gave.

We had a wonderful stay with 8 guests. The house is exactly as it appears in the photos, organized with 3 primary bedrooms around the central pool area. There is a fourth bedroom with 4 bunk beds. All of the bedrooms have their own bath/shower areas. The large living area has a big glass door that slides open to create an indoor/outdoor experience. We loved having breakfast prepared each day. We thought it might not be needed every day. However, after the first day, we decided it was too good to pass up, allowing us to relax every morning around the pool, drinking delicious coffee until the food was prepared. We would also highly recommend having a golf cart. It was delivered prior to our arrival and made trips in and out of town super easy. The location of the house is great. You can access either Playa Longosta or Playa Tamarindo through gates that are short walk from the house. The folks at the front gate to the neighborhood can give you the code. Overall, this is a great house!

Beautiful and spotless house, walking distance to downtown Tamarindo. Loved the pool too. The host gave great recommendations for live music, shows and great food.

What an amazing place. The nicest Airbnb we've ever stayed at. Super luxe and beautiful, peaceful but still just a 9 minute drive to San Guanillo for beaches, restaurants, etc. Only 30 minutes to Nosara's beaches too. We stayed here with another family and their kids and loved it. So much fun by the beautiful pool, watching amazing sunsets each night and enjoying the beautiful house. Steven, the property manager was so attentive, suggesting great restaurants and activities and getting back to us right away. He helped us find a chef to cook a few dinners for us while we were there too. 100% recommend and 100% will stay here again when we return to Costa Rica. Tuanis!

My family of 4 had a lovely time visiting Playa Grande and Stephanie’s house and accommodation made our trip perfect. Stephanie’s a lovely host and was very helpful with recommendations that prompted us to explore several beaches and local options. The house location is a 10 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. I highly recommend Stephanie’s house for your stay in Playa Grande.

Beautiful place to stay in a gorgeous location! Enjoyed the ocean view, private gated community, and all of the amenities the home had to offer. Thank you Helen for a wonderful stay, we would recommend this house for anyone looking to stay in Playa Grande!

House in a quiet secure area. Where we felt great. The pool was fantastic. I highly recommend this airbnb. I really enjoyed not being in the center of Tamarindo to be more quiet at home. If you rent a vehicle, this is the perfect home for you. Family stay with 5 adults and a 5 year old child.

We had a great trip. She was very responsive and helpful. Fun place!

We loved our stay at this beautiful hilltop house with an infinity pool! The two bedrooms and three bathrooms were perfect, and the property was well-maintained. Enjoying dinners and sunsets on the patio was a highlight. We’re grateful for the chance to stay here and will definitely be back. Thank you to our host! Thanks again, Stephane and Claire

The only issue we had was upon arrival we could not get access to the house as the cleaning lady mistakenly took the keys home with her. Our neighbor helped us out by calling Raymond and locating a key for us...a slight mishap. Other than that our stay was wonderful. Raymond was very quick to answer all our questions and provide recommendations for restaurants. The location was great, very quiet and rural. Access to a few of the beaches just a short drive away ( 5 mins). The place was superb. very clean and well taken care of. The pool was great! Would highly recommend the surrounding restaurants as the food was delicious. Very authentic. The local grocery stores carry majority of your needs. Overall the hosts were fantastic and we had a fabulous time. So happy we chose this place and should we return to that part of Costa Rica again would definitely go there. Highly recommend it!!

Excellent lodging, Doris and her family are very friendly people and were always willing to help us. They gave us local recommendations and helped us with what we requested. Private place very close to the beach, 100% recommended!

Julie’s place was amazing. So clean, beautiful, spacious, and private but with close neighbors so you don’t feel isolated. Got visited by Micro (mee-crow) the cat and a family of howler monkeys. Also saw a lizard and bird family / nest above the pool. Fascinating to watch the leaf cutter ants work away all day and take a break during the midday heat. So much wildlife! Private pool was amazing for the heat. The gardener was friendly and kept the outdoors clean and pool jets running for us. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Loved the welcome fruit and coffee. Loved that the town was near by as well as the beach. Playa Avellana was a short drive away and had a great Friday night market at the square. Fun and relaxing time! Thanks again Julie!
