Your Private Tropical Oasis for 6, with pool and only 100 yards to the Beach!

Welcome to Casa de las Olas, an incredible tropical paradise just 100 yards to the beach!

For the first time ever, we are happy to off the entire property at Casa de las Olas for your family/group holiday and vacation destination. The combination of the Main House and the Casita, allows for 6 guests, with a total of 3 queen bedrooms; 3 full baths; 2 fully appointed kitchens; 2 televisions; 4 air conditioners; 2 well appointed private outdoor showers (hot water); an outside Rancho which includes a bar-b-q and dining area; and a private outdoor bathroom near an AMAZING rear yard and pool.

In 2022 we undertook a major renovation project, which was building a backyard paradise that includes lush gardens, a pool, rancho/kitchenette, and private outdoor showers, and lounging spaces for all to enjoy.

So if you are looking for an Amazing, Beautiful, Fun, Private, well-appointed tropical getaway, we have exactly what you’re looking for. At Casa de las Olas, we believe that when you arrive you "Drop In To Life" !

Located midway between Tamarindo and Langosta, Casa de las Olas is tucked away from the bustle of town in a quiet, premier location that’s just 100 yards to the sand of the safest swimming beach in the area, and a short walk from a few of the finest restaurants in Tamarindo/Langosta. "Downtown" is a beautiful 10 minute walk down the beach, and Langosta's friendly restaurants & bars, and stunning sunsets and beaches are equally close.

We recognize that when you are looking for a vacation rental, you have many choices. In sharing our home with you, our goal is to provide you with a memorable tropical experience.

If you prefer a private setting, you can begin to understand why this property is one of the most sought after properties in the Tamarindo area. Whether it’s surfing, fishing, diving, sitting in the pool, snorkeling, exploring, reading, or just plain old relaxing in the hammock, let Casa de las Olas be your tropical oasis.

OUR TEAM STRIVES FOR EXCELLENCE
Besides providing excellent Customer Service, we know that many of you want your vacation to be more than just a time away, you want an Experience that builds memories for Life. Allow us to assist you in arranging sports fishing, surfing, an endless array of tours, snorkeling, scuba diving, SUPing, Day Spas, or any other experiential travel you may have a desire to have.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING REVIEWS:
Casa de las Olas has been listed on VRBO since 2006. Even though VRBO has changed dramatically over the years obviously, we pay attention to our Guests throughout. As the Owners and the ones who are ultimately responsible for providing a property to you in a manner that is accurately represented on this site, we'd like to express the following - we cannot adequately share with you how very Honored and Grateful our entire Team is to have received so many wonderful and incredible Reviews. As a Guest, you may or may not know how difficult receiving top rated Reviews can be because, at times, it is so easy for certain types of individuals to find items or issues to fault (there's a lot of "moving parts" in attempting to maintain a House in the tropics). We realize that there might be some point in the future where we don't hit the mark with a particular Guest (hopefully, not) but, please know that our Team is extremely Grateful and Humbled for all of the past Reviews that have supported our efforts. Thank You so very much for believing in and supporting us! You have our commitment and our assurances to always strive for Excellence in all that we do.

PLEASE NOTE: This a very popular property historically - we are very blessed to have many returning Guests - Thank you !!!

COVID-19:
We have adopted, and the entire Staff at Casa de las Olas has been trained in, the "UltraClean" protocol which was originally developed in Australia and is now an international standard for cleaning holiday rental units. Should you wish to receive additional information regarding the "Ultra Clean" protocol, just reach out and we will share this with you. Additionally, should you wish to not have the cleaning service, which is normally included, please let us know ahead of time so that we can arrange that with our incredible Maid.

Perfect spot in Tamarindo!
We couldn’t have made a better selection for our vacation in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. The casita was lovely with everything we needed. The pool, gardens, and outdoor living area were ideal. The beach access was just across the street. The property is in the quieter area of Tamarindo which was nice. It’s an easy walk to restaurants. Rik and Susan were gracious hosts. It was just the property and vacation we were looking for!

My wife and I had a glorious time staying at Rik and Susan's Casita. Every single part of the stay was perfect including the bed, outdoor living space and ease of walking to the beach or local markets/restaurants. Rik and Susan are great host and as enjoyable as the space. Looking forward to coming back in 2025!

The Casita at Casa de Las Olas
We had the best time in Tamarindo and especially at Rik and Susan’s home. Couldn’t have been more happy with the hospitality and the property itself. The pool and tropical backyard was the icing on the cake plus only a 3-5 min walk across the street to the breathtaking beach. We look forward to coming back ASAP!

Beautiful studio on quiet side of Tamarindo
Lovely studio that is very well appointed and has everything you need. Rik and Susan are easy to work with and have done a beautiful job taking care of the property. They have a wealth of information regarding Tamarindo and the surrounding area. The beach (Tamarindo) is very accessible and just a few steps away. We love that we are close to Tamarindo beach to hit the waves and Langosta beach (a short walk) to find seashells and the tide pools are fun to explore. We loved the restaurant next door. The pool area is very lush and beautiful. The pool was so nice to take a quick dip to cool off. It was a bit hot for us, but Rik and Susan can’t control the weather sadly (LOL). Also, the sun comes into the windows very early so bring an eye mask if you need it to be dark to sleep. We hope to return soon!

The perfect place to stay if you are looking for a quiet get away in Tamarindo.
Perfect place to stay in Tamarindo. Just takes a couple of minutes to walk to the beautiful beach of Tamarindo and a short walk to town with all of the amazing restaurants and shops. Casa de Las Olas was amazing. The quiet pool side oasis in the back yard was incredible. Perfect place to hear and see Howler Monkeys and Iguanas. Thank you Rik and Susan for your hospitality.

A lovely restful stay in beautiful Costa Rica!
Casa de Las Olas was the perfect place to take time out from our busy lives! I looked forward every morning to waking up early and sitting on the porch with my coffee to listen to the birds and the waves and to watch the monkeys scamper across the trees. The home is a very short walk away from a wide beautiful beach where you will see surfers surfing, people riding horses, families playing, and people walking their dogs. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance on the beach or on the road. The home itself has everything you need and was absolutely spotless. The best part of our stay however was the hospitality of our hosts, Rik and Susan. Rik and Susan answered any questions we had and gave suggestions about local places to see, places to eat and places to be. They were even able to point us in the direction of a wonderful healthcare provider when my husband needed one. Also, the grounds around the home are absolutely stunning with beautiful trees, plants, flowers and a little garden out front. It is obvious that they work very hard to maintain and continually improve their piece of paradise. Go and enjoy Casa de las Olas, you will not be disappointed! We will be returning!

We just returned from 3 weeks at Casa de las Olas and it was a wonderful stay. The house is clean, comfortable, roomy and well taken care of. It is just as it appears in the pictures. There is about any water toy you can imagine included along with bikes, chairs etc. The beach is less than a minute walk and it is easy to walk to the many wonderful restaurants in town. Rik and Susan were terrific hosts, always there for anything we needed and very informative. It is an ideal place to stay!

An incredible house with the perfect location
I could go on and on about how great Rik's house is. To put it simple and short Rik has a great home and you can tell he truly cares and has worked hard to maintain it. Rik and his team that helps manage the home go above and beyond to see to any questions or needs. My daughter hurt her foot and William had someone there the next morning to take us to the doctor and they made sure we were taken care of the entire trip. The extras he has here are just the icing on the cake. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in tamarindo on the quiet end of the beach you won't find a better home. One last thanks to Rik, William and his team, book this home you will not be disappointed.

Where Time Stands Still
Our stay at Casa de Las Olas exceeded our expectations in every way. A quaint, casual, lush tropical oasis transports one to a paradise surrounded by some of the most beautiful ecological surroundings.

Our stay at Casa de las Olas was better than we could’ve imagined. In a convenient neighborhood of Tamarindo just steps to the ocean, Rik’s home couldn’t be more perfect for our stay. Having the boards and bikes was amazinggg, we used them almost everyday. On top of that, Rik has an awesome “book” he made about Costa Rica, with recommendations of places to see, local tips, etc., we all enjoyed reading it! Overall, we are so happy we chose Casa de las Olas for our first trip to Costa Rica. Thanks Rik!!

Fabulous! Pura vida!
This house was custom built by the owner, Rik, and it could not be any better. The attention to detail such as, a Bose Bluetooth speaker to a portable ice chest to take to the beach, shower to rinse off before entering the house to a garden to eat from, and SUP board to inner tube for use all added to the enjoyment of our stay. Once he accepted our request to stay at his house, we agreed on a time to talk on the phone, and he called from Costa Rica. Every piece of advice was excellent, and the places he recommended were spot on. He is communicative, helpful, and knowledgeable. His staff was exceptional as well. Next we’ll stay for a month!!! Thank you, Rik, for everything! Pura vida!

Perfect location!
This was our first time in the Tamarindo/Playa Langosta area, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect for a laid back family getaway. The beach was so close by; just across the street and down the short walkway - 2 min walk from front door to sand. There were several restaurants in walking distance via the street, and many just a short walk down the beach. Having surfboards and boogie boards was amazing; the kids could grab them and head down to the beach anytime. We felt super safe in the neighborhood and area in general. A 3-4 min drive into town landed you in the heart of the booming nightlife, grocery stores, and tons of restaurants and shops. The house itself was spacious and gorgeous, and secured by walls and gates for access to the yard/bodega. We utilized the new fresh herb garden, picking as needed for cooking. The house had everything we needed to make home cooked meals, frozen drinks, etc. Loved it so much we hope to return soon!!!
