Sunset House, Tamarindo Beach

On a hill overlooking Tamarindo Bay, with the most breathtaking view in Tamarindo, Sunset House is a fantastic site to enjoy your Costa Rican experience.

The house is a beautiful 5000 square foot villa designed by an award winning American architect, boasting many natural materials native to Costa Rica, with Spanish tiled floors throughout, hand painted murals by local artists, and an open outdoorsy feeling. Located within walking distance of gorgeous white sand beaches and some of the best surf breaks in Costa Rica, the house is also the excellent spot for just relaxing and enjoying the view. It is an especially ideal house for a family vacation, and nanny service is available upon request.

The open-air living area has cushioned molded concrete sofas and handcrafted tropical hardwood furniture. A stereo is provided with a small selection of CD's for your listening pleasure.There is a connection on the stereo for you to connect your iPod, as well. We also recently added wireless internet service, which can be available for $50 per week, unlimited access. Just bring your laptop and it's ready to go.
The recently renovated, fully equipped kitchen includes a restaurant-grade stainless steel stove/oven/grill, dishwasher and refrigerator. It's a terrific place to cook while you watch the ocean. Cooking service can also be arranged upon request.

There are 3 spacious air-conditioned bedrooms; with lovely views of the ocean and Tamarindo estuary: the master bedroom with king sized bed, 2 other bedrooms with queen sized beds, and a smaller, also airconditioned bedroom with a queen sized bed, plus one bunk bed -suitable for children. The 2 large bathrooms have hot water, and there is a rock walled outdoor shower in the courtyard as well as another outdoor shower on the deck near the pool. On the south end of the house, there is an additional suite with it's own bedroom and bathroom, seating/ living area with cable TV, desk/ office area, and patio. The suite shares the same panoramic ocean view as the rest of the house.

All bedrooms offer a lovely view of the ocean and Tamarindo estuary. The 2 large bathrooms have hot water, and there is a rock walled outdoor shower in the courtyard as well as another outdoor shower on the deck near the pool.

A recent addition to Sunset House is the "bale"/pavilion off of the pool area, which was finished in January, 2003, along with an air-conditioned atelier/ exercise room below the pool area. The freeform Mosaic tiled swimming pool, with disappearing edge, is designed so that the pool appears as if it is spilling into the ocean. Surrounding the pool is a teak-plank deck with hardwood lounge chairs, and a shady cushioned concrete seating area overlooks the pool and ocean. The pool area is equipped with wet-bar and mini-refrigerator.
