Perfect in every way!
I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer and her property. It was absolutely perfect. Location was great, 5 minutes walk to the beach and good restaurants. 20 to 30 minutes walk to Tamarindo. Try the surf grill 2 minutes from the condo, they have excellent food. The property was immaculate and we even had a cleaning lady come mid trip to freshen it up. The beds were ultra comfortable and had good quality linen. Jennifer had put lots of little attention like leaving make-up wipes and coffee for us to use during our stay. The pool was awesome and not too crowded. The condo is bigger than shown in the pictures. We enjoyed all the amenities provided. It was great to sit on the balcony to sip our coffee. The checkin was super smooth and the instructions very easy to follow. Would recommend this space 100%. Absolutely lovely. All pros and no cons. Ps: there is a little market nearby that serves as a convenience store. Make sure you calculate the conversion of price before buying stuff to avoid surprises when you check your credit card statement. It was really expensive. Ex: a pack of salami with 8 thin slices: $30. Better to go do your groceries in town.

Clean, comfy & well equipped
Loved the location! A short walk from the bustle of central Tamarindo. The condo is on a quiet strip, a few steps from Playa Langosta. The property was very clean, and well-equipped. We were able to cook a larger dinner easily in the kitchen. We loved the pool and sitting out on the patio in the evenings.

Great place to stay and good location!
Check in process was easy, instructions were clear, host was great help. We loved staying here, far enough away from the downtown area to be calm and quiet but close enough to be able to walk to the downtown area at any point of the night! Would definitely recommend!

My 3 daughters and I enjoyed our stay at this property. Plenty of space / 3 bathrooms / close to Langosta beach. We walked Tamarindo every morning for coffee. Tamarindo is very busy with lots of activity and this property was close enough to enjoy it all without being right in the middle of it

Sometimes when you are looking on vacation rental sites you can get a little nervous about what your experience will be. All of us agreed this was the best experience we have had in all our travels. The condo was the perfect size, the best amenities, fully equipped and we met amazing neighbours from all over the world. You won’t be disappointed by choosing Casa Serena.

Great family vacation, highly recommend
We had a great Christmas family vacation staying out of this spot. We (couple + 2 kids) stayed here 6 nights, and all amenities including the kitchen, beds and baths were great. The property pool was great to relax in, and there are at least 2 good restaurants with great Italian food within 5-10 min walks. We hung out at Playa Langosta beach which is a 5 min walk and Tamarindo beach (short taxi ride) on 2 separate days. Both the beaches were awesome, with shallow sections and awesome views. The main town, with great restaurants and stores, was bustling with people so the place was a convenient distance away. We didn't rent a car due to our touring plans, but renting a golf cart may be useful, we couldn't as there weren't any available. We took private tours to the volcanoes and rain forests from here on 3 days, and the tours were also great. The tour guides made the drives very interesting and we often stopped to look at birds and animals they would spot. The only downside was the drive time from this beach town, as we had to do 2-4 hrs each way on each tour. But we chose this spot to be able to relax and enjoy the surroundings in the evenings and on the days we were not heading out, and that worked out perfectly. Jennifer was great, very responsive every time, and helped arrange the tours. Highly recommend this place for a beach getaway in Costa Rica! This was our first time in CR, and we will go back there for sure.

Nice place, great beds, sweet location!
We walked to surf every day, takes about 3-5 minutes! The beds are nice for recovering from a long session, very comfortable! The deck was terrific for breakfast and sitting outside in the evening cool down too. I streamed the NBA games from my laptop onto the TV with the HDMI cable they had there instead of watching it in Spanish on ESPN there. The internet was fast enough that it streamed just fine. It was quiet all night, but in the morning when you open the door and windows the monkeys and birds are pretty darn vocal. It’s amazing to see so much life right there where you are staying. We will be back again thanks for everything!

The condo has the best beds I’ve ever had in Costa Rica! Great pool, incredible beach and surf!
The beds are the best I’ve ever had in the whole country! This place is on the second floor with no one above, so quiet quiet quiet! The pool had the clearest water of any pool I’ve used in Tamarindo area as well. This place has some wood cabinetry and wood doors that are obviously Spanish inspired, very artistic and beautiful condo. The covered porch was where I spent a lot of my time, overlooking the pool and out of the sun. With the window (fully screened) by the door open and the sliding doors to the veranda (also fully screened) open there was a nice breeze every day throughout the condo, keeping me cool and allowing me to listen to the birds and monkeys from inside as I worked! The AC was cold and powerful, but I only used it at night because of the great breeze that I just told you about. One of the best things about this place is that they use septic safe toilet paper! You can flush it! No need to do the stinky can thing like all the rest of the places I’ve stayed at in Costa Rica! Ive never seen that in Costa Rica before, and it makes a big difference in how the bathroom smells. No smell! I walked to three different surf breaks within a few minutes, each working on a different tide, and surfed literally every day for 10 days in a row! Gorgeous beach by the way! It backs up to a national park so you can walk south right into it on nearly deserted beaches. Or I walked north into busy Tamarindo along the beach, where there were tide pools along the way at low tide. Sunset near these tide pools was stunning. Then the restaurants and bars of Tamarindo, of course, gave up some serious nightlife. You can walk back on the road once it is dark. There is Langosta surf club, a bar, only 2 minutes walk away with cool people and good, affordable food. Fish and Cheese is maybe 5 minutes walk and is higher end and delicious! They had live music. You can’t hear any of this from the condo, it’s really quiet up there. The front door had a double deadbolt, and there was a safe inside the place as well so I didn’t worry about leaving valuables. Jennifer either answered the phone or got back to me right away when I had questions, which was handy. She seems to know everything about the area, and maybe everyone in the area as well! Her taxi guy was really helpful too. There is a guy, Alvaro, who cleans the pool every day and was there painting the building’s trim. Really nice guy, and he speaks a little English. I’ll be back for sure!

Jennifer was great to work with before and during our stay. Alvaro, the maintenance person was very attentive and keeps the grounds immaculate. Beautiful quiet pool and Jaccuzzi. Accommodations were as described and perfect for our party of two couples with two en-suite bedrooms. Costa Rican people could not be any nicer and extremely welcoming. Tamarindo was a lovely town with great restaurants and the Urgent Care was excellent.
