Gorgeous property, relaxing stay, friendly hosts

Beautifully decorated accommodations, nice private yard and pool area, easy walk to beach and restaurants. Gary and Jolene were also great hosts who made us feel welcome, gave good recommendations and helped make connections for us with different activities, and shared lots of interesting stories. Would highly recommend.

Honeymoon stay

We stayed with Jolene and Gary for the 2nd part of our honeymoon. Their home was so beautiful and they were so welcoming that we knew we picked the correct place. Stunning property, close to everything but separate enough not to hear anything. Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful property

My husband and I loved our stay in Tamarindo. The property and garden are lovely. The apartment was immaculate and the furnishings were beautiful. We’d never stayed in such a comfortable VRBO. In addition, Gary was a wonderful host and made us feel right at home. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

The Best!

It was an amazing vacation! The house looks even better than the pictures. It was a short walk to restaurants and the beach. Jolene and Gary were the best hosts ever! It was such a pleasure. They had a lot of information about things to do and we will definitely be back.

Great B and B place!

Property is beautiful, breakfast and attention to detail are great- Jolene and Gary were very helpful and extremely accommodating!! We have never done a bed and breakfast before and determined that it is not for us- nothing to do with the place or Gary/Jolene- just not for us is all. We did however, appreciate what great care and attention to detail Gary and Jolene put into everything and how responsive they were to all of us as guests. The other guests were awesome and the room was awesome. Thank you for everything! Recommend it if a bed and breakfast is for you!

Relaxing vacation

We loved our stay with Gary and Jolene. Our accomadations were exactly as shown in the pictures and they were beautiful and well looked after. Fresh flowers were in our suite which was a nice touch. Everything you wanted was provide. We loved our breakfasts. We were given the option to have as much privacy as we wanted or to be as social. Any need was taken care off. The area has beautiful beaches and lots of great places to eat. I loved having drinks on the beach while we enjoyed the sunset. Would love to go back. Highly recommend it.

Great romantic vacation spot!

Jolene and Gary were like old friends! We enjoyed our conversations with them both and were surprised at how much we had in common. We came to Tamarindo to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. This was our second time in Tamarindo. Gary gave us some amazing recommendations for restaurants which were all fabulous. The short walk to the beach was easily accessible and there was a grocery store a block away. Maria was an amazing cook and her breakfasts were better than any meal you can get in a restaurant. There is no need to rent a car, everything is an easy walk. The accommodations were beautifully decorated with finds from Gary and Jolene’s travels and the bed was comfortable, shower had hot water, all appliances worked great and the bed was comfortable. I cant think of a single thing they can improve on. They arranged for our transport to and from the airport which was timely and comfortable. We will definitely be back!! We feel like family 😊

OMG What a wonderful place! I would recommend it to my family, friends and everyone els!

The property was amazing! It was clean, beautiful and had so much local flavor and ambiance. Even better than the property were the hosts!! They were exceptional!! They greated us when we arrived and welcomed us with a tour of the property and a venture into town to pick up some groceries and dinner for the night. The next morning we were treated to an amazing breakfast provided by Maria. She did breakfast Monday to Friday and there were times that we didn’t need much more during the coarse of the day. They made sure we were comfortable and if there was anything wanting ( which there wasn’t ) they would look after it. Gary and Jolene made all our arrangements for drivers and tours, they recommended restaurants, dropped us off at the beach and accompanied us to a true local sopa. It was sad to say goodbye to such amazing “friends”. We hope to see them again on our next visit to Costa Rica

Best vacation ever!!!!

This vacation was to celebrate mine and my husband's 20 year anniversary and I have to say it was the perfect location to do so. First of all Jolene and Gary made this trip so special by handling everything from booking excursions to suggesting the best places to eat. They know their stuff!!!! Every place they sent us exceeded our expectations! I have to say even as many excursions as we took I still felt like this was a super relaxing trip!! The town is so laid back, no need for ANYTHING dressy! Jolene & Gary's home is gorgeous, extremely relaxing, in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to everything! And, Maria's breakfast are amazing!! These people are the most hospitable and accommodating we've ever experienced. We will be going back to stay with Jolene and Gary again and again in our future travels!!! Highly recommend this quiet retreat to any couple wanting a nice place to stay to spend quality romantic time together!! ----The Stegall's from Texas

Wonderful property and hosts, great location!

Jolene and Gary have created a wonderful space in their garden and rooms that they rent out. Everything was topped off with the most delicious breakfast before our busy day adventuring around town. They’re well-connected in the community and could give you recommendations to anything you might want to do. We loved our stay, the garden is amazing and the room was well equipped and super comfortable. we’d definitely visit here again!

Coin de paradis

La propriété est magnifique, l'espace extérieur est très grand et joliment aménagé. Les propriétaires Jolene et Gary sont très accueillants et charmants. Maria, qui prépare les petits déjeuners est excellente cuisinière et prépare quelque chose de différent chaque jour. Tout près de la plage, se marche bien mais, les rues n'étant pas pavées, c'est très poussiéreux. Ce fut un superbe séjour. Thank you Jolene and Gary for your kindness and hospitality.

The BEST experience!

This was such a fantastic place to stay in Tamarindo. Not only is it absolutely beautiful, it is so close to all the restaurants, shops, and beach. Maria’s breakfast every morning was incredible! All of Jolene and Gary’s recommendations for actives were spot on and so fun. Douglas was a fantastic guide and Eric was an awesome surf instructor!

Everything was beyond our expectations the entire stay. We stayed about 5 nights at Villa Andalucia and the only complaint is that we had to leave and travel back home. Beautiful property, perfect location and Gary and Jolene are the best hosts ive ever had. Made you feel right at home and super helpful!

Wonderful Hosts

Our stay at the Villa was delightful and Jolene & Gary are the best hosts ever. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked onto the property. The gardens are a great place to spend the afternoon with a book. Maria made and served us very tasty breakfasts. The Villa is close to downtown & restaurants but far enough away to be quiet & restful. An exceptional place to spend some time.

Fantastic Property!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The owners are very good hosts and they have an awesome property in a great location! Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived! Our casita was beautiful and comfortable and we looked forward to the delicious breakfast every morning. We took the owners recommendations for tours and hired their recommended private driver. Worked out great and the driver even took us to our next location in Arenal. Very convenient. The owners were so friendly and took us to an amazing local restaurant for lunch. Tamarindo beach can be very busy and this location was a perfect relaxation spot after fun days exploring the beach and surrounding area. Highly recommend!

Awesome first trip to Costa Rica

We were hesitant to leave the U.S. for the first time during the pandemic but we are soooo happy that we did. Gary and Jolene’s place is fabulous - Jolene was out of town but no problem there as Gary (and Maria) took such care to make sure our stay was unforgettable. And Gary went above to make sure we got connected with Douglas to get our tours lined up. We will definitely plan a return trip and hopefully the kids can join us. Thank you, thank you!!!
