Large Penthouse Villa - rare 3 bedroom with private decks, private dipping pool

The beautiful Spanish style villas at La Esquina are only 100 meters from the beach. Our villa welcomes you as you enter a naturally lush landscaped complex with a refreshing pool and a private dipping pool on our spacious private terrace.
The entire complex, including the large parking area, is walled, and gated with community guard patrol service. La Esquina has beautifully maintained lush grounds that attracts lots of birds for viewing.

La Esquina penthouse has 3000 spacious square feet of indoor/outdoor living. Located on the top/penthouse/3rd floor level(with elevator); the penthouse takes up the entire third floor. . Complete with a private open air/covered dining patio that seats 12+ along with your own private dipping pool right on the private oversized terrace for perfect indoor/outdoor living..

This gorgeous stucco complex has the most beautiful pool in Playa Langosta or Tamarindo - 90 foot garden swimming pool complete with lush tropical plants surrounding, lounge chairs and an outdoor luxury shower. Your condo is professionally furnished, offering 3 large ensuite bedrooms, a large great room for relaxing, a private terrace off of each bedroom with comfy chairs for reading/napping. It also offers a large, open, teak and well equipped, granite kitchen complete with an adjacent BBQ terrace. Barbeque terrace also has table and chairs for four persons, fan and light.This villa also has a laundry room with washer and dryer, and 3.5 full-sized tiled bathrooms. Very fast internet that you can even receive WIFI at the large pool downstairs,

The open dining room area will comfortably seat 8 adults with additional dining area off of the large terrace adjacent to the great room(where you can sit 8 more!). There is also and additional open air patio on the roof only one flight above. You and your guests can take in the stunning views of the Playa Langosta coastline and spectacular sunsets.

Extensive use of beautiful teak wood adorn all the cabinetry complemented by locally quarried natural stone flooring and beautiful Italian granite counter tops throughout.

Each bedroom room has a coffered ceiling fan, and control for volume of music. Living room also has ceiling fans. Great air conditioning.

Master bedroom has private master deck for reading, lounging. One guestroom has private balcony, other guestroom opens to grand balcony. Guestrooms of similar size with identical large bathrooms.

Open the main entrance door to the penthouse and walk right up a half flight of stairs to the roof deck and enjoy the sunset or have breakfast while watching the waves. The common roof deck hosts views spanning over Langosta beach and the mountains and is constantly visited by the ocean breezes year round.

The beach is a short stroll down a garden path and is great for strolling, tide pooling or walking to the lively town of Tamarindo. Playa Langosta is a quiet upscale residential community, but only a 15-20 minute beach walk (or five minute ride) to the lively town of Tamarindo known for its fabulous surfing, dining, shopping and fun. There is also a great surfing beach at Playa Langosta that is about a 5 minute walk from the condo.. You can walk to Tamarindo from Playa Langosta on the Beach at low tide, or on road at all times.

Absolutely the best beach club ever is 5 minutes away, with outstanding food, beach tables, equipment to rent (kayaks, etc.) and surf lessons.

La Esquina is located in a quiet, safe, and low-density residential neighborhood of oceanfront estates and elegant condos. There’s green space across the street, providing a home to howler monkeys, tropical birds, and iguanas, and a canopied park with a winding path to the white-sand beach of the Pacific Ocean, only 100 yards from the condo. Just follow the sound of the surf…

Pura Vida!

Beautiful villa!
We just left our villa today, it was a perfect stay and a great location! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend! The house is very spacious and the outdoor patio as well. We loved the outdoor dipping pool on the patio. Daniela and Janet are very accommodating and prompt with their responses!

Spacious indoor and outdoor condo in lovely setting
This large condo is well appointed and comes as advertised. The price point for this owner-loved condo makes it a good value. Positive points: Spaces are well designed, furniture is in good enough condition to be comfortable yet inviting for use even with kids, patio spaces are great, dipping pool is attractive even if you don't use it, the condo pool is exceptional (well designed and cared for), the concierge was extremely responsive (Daniela was our contact), kitchen was appropriately stocked, appliances were very good (dishwasher had problems but is being replaced). The owner is extremely responsive and personable--you can tell she wants you to enjoy your stay. Beds had good mattresses, towels were new and high quality, linens good. Great restaurants within easy walk (2-10 minutes, all very safe). The less than perfect (for some): There is some road noise during the day as a city bus stops across the street and you can hear it from the patio (no issue inside the condo), the howler monkeys in the trees across the street can wake you up early (but that is really kind of fun!), the TV is a small by today's standards (but hey, who is there to watch TV?--and if you must watch, the channels are extensive). The unit has limited views of the ocean but the inviting upstairs observation area has good ocean views. 3 min walk to beach. Highly recommend this rental.

Investment exploration
The property was beautiful. The pool was spectacular. The roof top was amazing. The walk to the beach across from the property was perfect. There were several restaurants within walking distance that were excellent. The facility was secure and easy access. The property manager for the unit was always responsive when we had to call. One of the air-conditioning units was not working when we arrived but it was fixed within a couple of hours. The unit was well taken care of and beautifully decorated. We used the outside living space most of the time. We were excited that we saw the moneys in the trees next to the parking area. The only complaint we had was the elevator not working most of the time we were there. Generally, it would not be a problem but one person in our party had a knee issue, and it was very hard for her to get up and down the stairs. Carting the luggage up and down the stairs was a little difficult. Having the elevators in buildings that are outside and not climate controlled will always be an issue. Love the location to Tamarindo. Just outside the cities activities but close enough to be there in minutes. We experience a very warm and friendly greetings from everyone we came in contact with during our stay. I would rent it again! Pura Vida Kathy

Great stay in Tamorindo
This condo is the full floor and has 3 bedrooms, a nicely appointed kitchen and a fabulous deck. The deck is shaded and has a large table as well as lounge chairs. We spent most of our stay out on the deck! There is a splash pool for cooling off as well as a larger, lovely pool for the condo complex. The location was quiet and located an easy drive away from the active areas of Tamorindo. We rented a golf cart for 6 whiched worked well. There is only one outlet for charging near the parking area so using a gas powered cart might be a better option. The rental coordinator was fantastic and we were able to book travel experiences through her as well as receive information quickly and easily. I would highly recommend this property!

tamarindo stay 2024
the place is very nice. one of the ladies in our group of six has bilateral total hip implants and the elevator to the penthouse floor was no working while we were there. That made it very difficult for her. The water ran out 3 times during our stay. one of the times the water ran out was from 7pm to 1 pm the next day. Despite the setbacks we enjoyed our visit as much as possible and would recommend the place to others looking for a clean place to stay.

This property was wonderful. Walking distance to a beach with a lovely sunset. Felt safe as it had a locking gate and guards at night. Town is walkable but it’s a bit of a hike but there was a lot of cute restaurants that were close. The space was big and had plenty of room to spread out. Nice kitchen to cook in. Outside area with dipping pool. This was perfect place for a larger group like ours.

Fantastic Langosta Penthouse
What a wonderful vacation home! Our 3-generation family of 6 especially loved the size and arrangement of the rooms, the refreshing plunge pool on the deck, and the stunning sunset views from the roof. The property is well-tended and perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood just south of busy Tamarindo. We enjoyed walks on both beaches, swims in the lovely pool, and many delicious meals in the neighborhood and in town. Thank you, Janet and Daniela, for your good suggestions and just the right amount of help. We hope to return!

Perfect location!
This very attractive 3 bedroom, 3+ bathroom condo was absolutely perfect for our group of 3 couples. Each bedroom came with its own private bath and access to an outdoor patio. Living room and dining room were spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was very well equipped which is unusual. The main outdoor deck is amazing with another large and comfortable dining table, several cushy chairs and chaise longues and a fantastic soaking tub. There is a public access to Playa Langosta beach right across the street. We're not usually "pool people" but the building's pool is very nice so we ended up using it frequently. We enjoyed having sunset drinks on the rooftop deck too. Secure parking put our minds at ease. Last but not least, the location of this building was perfect for us!! Outside of the touristy craziness of Tamarindo but still within walking distance. Playa Langosta is a rocky beach but great for a beach read in the shade of the trees and a nice dip. Tamarindo is better for swimming, surfing, bodysurfing but much more crowded. It was great having access to both.

First Time Costa Rica Visit
We arrived in Tamarindo and were taken directly to our home after picking up the key, which was super simple. When we arrived, we found the elevator was out of service, but not really a problem. The walk up was easy, and the home was awesome! Exactly as presented and described. Very comfortable living room and bedrooms. The home was clean and cool inside, and everything was in order. There were even beach chairs and beach towels for us to use...a cooler, too! That was great. The beds were comfortable and since all the bedrooms had private baths, all of the guests were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, and the views were great too. We could see the ocean and the pool from our main balcony which made sitting there great. The plunge pool was fun and gave us another way to cool off after a day out exploring. Oh, and there was plenty of shopping, restaurants and activities close by for us. We did have a golf cart, which is recommended, but not always necessary. We would recommend the house to anyone looking for a lovely place to stay and still be a reasonable distance from town.

Dream Location
First off, we could not have picked a better host in Janet and especially Daniela. Not knowing the area or what to do or what to plan, it was intimidating but Daniela contacted us immediately after booking. From there, she set up activities, bought us groceries so we didn’t have to stop, set up shuttles and was communicating at all hours. She is a gem! The property had very well written instructions and a great book to read about local restaurants. The site is a penthouse called La Esquina “the corner” but it was a huge spacious location with lush and well groomed landscape l. The pool is dreamy as was the dipping outdoor tub. We didn’t mind that it’s not heated as you will need it coming off a hot day. The cleaning was impeccable and the rooms were gorgeous and well kept. Wood accents everywhere made it a home as we’re all the amenities and furnishings. Nothing was left out. The site also is gated and with private security. The area of Playa Langosta is quiet and the bistro across the street has great food and live music. If you want snacks, wine or other groceries there’s a cute little market right down the street. Tamarindo itself is a 15-20 minute walk. But never fear, Daniela can also rent an electric cart to get around. For picky eaters, the kids loved the Surf Beach club with burgers, street tacos and chicken tenders. Everyone is nice, pleasant and welcoming. Stay here and truly relax in a home away from home.

Disappointed February 2023.
As much as I knew going in that a Costa Rica vacation rental would not be as luxurious as one in the USA, I was a bit surprised upon our arrival by the state of this villa. The website photos do not accurately reflect the wear and tear of the furniture particularly the outdoor patio furniture and the kitchen lights and cabinets. (Very, very old.) Also, in one of the bathrooms, there was a family of tiny ants residing along the shower stall. Speaking of the bathroom, it was never reflected on the website that we couldn’t flush our toilet paper but instead had to put our toilet paper in a waste basket. (By the way, other tenants on property in different rentals could indeed flush their toilet paper.) Within the house the wi-fi was slow and was not accessible in one of the back bedrooms. Would not recommend this Wi-Fi for remote work purposes. Owners definitely need some upgrades to this villa including key code entry as other units which we saw had upgrades. This isn’t specific to our rented villa, but building maintenance is definitely lacking. For example, while I was in the elevator the doors would not open, and I was stuck during the 90 degree heat. Also, the lounge chairs around the community pool were so poorly worn and aged. Also,, very spotty wi-fi around the pool area. One positive the pool was lovely. Local property management responded to issues but repairs within unit not done. Would I recommend this villa? I would have to say no.

Great family vacation!
We had visited Tamarindo in the past, staying at one of the hotels. This unit was perfect for us this time since we were travelling with my adult son, my adult daughter, and her boyfriend, 3 bedrooms was just what we needed. Love the fact that it wasn't in the middle of town, but everything was within walking distance (groceries, beaches, downtown stores). We enjoyed the communal pool as well as the private one on our floor. Was nice to connect to other expats renting from the same building. Highly recommend!

Great location close to Tamarindo
We enjoyed being close to the restaurants and shops in Tamarindo but away from the crowds. Langosta beach is beautiful and a very short walk away. Howler monkeys came past the condo daily. The local restaurants in Playa Langosta are all fantastic. Although Tamarindo is certainly walking distance, the heat made it difficult so renting a golf cart was very handy.
