Casa Ilios is more than a stunning, ocean-view vacation rental in Tamarindo: It's a stunning, ocean-view vacation rental in Tamarindo with an incredible private, multi-leveled pool!

Set into the Tamarindo hillside, El Chante is its own Balinese-inspired resort – including a resort-worthy luxury pool deck and sun terrace. Here, you'll admire the ocean view, zen fountain, sun loungers, and ocean-view infinity pool – specifically, your own, private paradise at one of Tamarindo's most magical homes.
Casa Catalina lives where sky meets sea – suspended in a dream-like panorama where the earth drops away to leave you alone at the top of the world, swimming in your very own infinity-edge pool. We love the sliding glass doors that open onto the mountain- and ocean-view pool and the breezy, covered terrace with comfy loungers, hammocks and total tranquility.
Perched on a vibrant jungle ridge, just south of super-chill Playa Flamingo, Casa Celeste offers breathtaking 360º panoramic views of golden coast, smooth sea, and rolling hills. The only thing that can compete with these views are Casa Celeste's spectacular pool, with its grand staircase and crystalline waters – crystalline waters that overlook Playas Brasilito and Potrero.
This sleek, modern villa unfolds over breathtaking panoramic views and a hillside paradise – over soft sands and lush scenery, blue skies and bluer sea.

Set on a hillside that stretches from the heavens down to the sand, Casa Las Palmas is a testament to curves, textures, and utmost privacy – a tropical dream world, meant only for you.
