This villa is designed by a well known California architect. Using inspiration from traditional hacienda style, the house opens on to a very private secluded garden with a lagoon shaped swimming pool.

The hacienda is located at the south end of Tamarindo Bay and has direct beach access, just a few steps from the front door to the beach . There are rock pools and excellent swimming and surfing opportunities directly in front of our beach access. 

The hacienda has been built with "old world colonial style charm". Unlike many of the modern condominiums and houses built more recently in the Tamarindo area, the traditional architecture for this home gives a flavor of the real indoor/outdoor living. 

The main focus of the house is the large "walk gallery" connecting all the areas together around a central terrace area with swimming pool, patio and garden. The pool is more like a free form lagoon with a waterfall, which makes the garden look tropical. Throughout the day, this area is frequented by a large variety of birds. The kitchen is fully equipped and open to the patio and dining area.

The house has three bedrooms, all with their own bathroom. The fourth bedroom is a separate "casita" with a living room area, full bathroom and outside shower area. If you have never experienced an outside shower, it is a treat to be enjoyed! 

We have a surfboard room and shower area so surfers and children with sandy feet can enter by a side gate and wash before entering the house. 

Although there is no need for a car while at this villa, there is parking for two cars - one in front of the house and another behind a locked gate. All bedrooms have a small safe for valuables. The walk to town on the beach is 10 minutes. The finest hotel in Tamarindo, Capitan Suizo, is our neighbor. Many howler monkeys can be heard in the early morning from the hacienda. Of course, making a fresh cup of coffee early in the morning in the hacienda and then watching the sunrise on the beach is a great way to start a Costa Rican day. 

What is most unique about this villa is the location - which has become the best residential area of Tamarindo just off the main area of beach traffic and noise. Everything you need is accessible with or without a car.
