Vacation Rentals on the Beach: Choose your spot
Costa Rica, especially the town of Tamarindo, is known for both its beaches and surfing. It was made famous 40 years ago by the surf film Big Tuesday. Choose from one of the dozens of international restaurants or check out one of the many bars on the beach.
Its high end neighbor, half a mile down the road is Langosa. Here the beaches are whiter, life is quieter in this high end residential community. Both areas offer mid to high end vacation rentals. Langosta has some absolutely spectacular beachfront luxury villa rentals, complete with concierge service and private chefs.
Playa Grande is one of Costa Rica’s beach towns that actually have a lot to offer if you are looking to get away from it all. This area is connected to Tamarindo by an estuary which can be crossed by wading or by hiring a local ' panga' (motorized canoe with driver), to take you across. Great fun. Depending on the time of year you may see Leatherback Sea Turtles which sometimes come to lay their eggs on Playa Grande’s shore. Seeing one is an unforgettable experience since these are one of the largest species of turtle on Earth.
For those thinking about investing in real estate in Tamarindo we recommend arranging a real estate tour on the second or third day of your trip, once you have got your bearings and have a bit of sun on your back.
