Shoulder season. It’s either the calm before the storm or the calm after the tempest. Either way, for savvy travelers (savvlers?) these are the months when you have access to the best of the best, without having to share with the hordes. Also, inexpensive comes to mind. In this world of supply and demand, when you don’t have to fight for the last one (of anything), the prices are usually better. There is no exception in Tamarindo vacation rentals.
November is your month to travel, and Tamarindo is your destination. Good choice. You should be considering Horizon Pacific’s property of the month, Valencia Del Mar, unit 1. This property offers a comfortable distance from Tamarindo, even more comfortable accommodations, and the best beach walks in Tamarindo.
Comfortable Distance
Playa Langosta is Tamarindo’s not-so-distant sister. Langosta is situated just past Tamarindo, meaning you have to pass through Tama to get there. It is where folks who wish to be near Tamarindo, but not in Tamarindo like to stay. The main reason? It’s quieter than Tamarindo.
While Langosta may sound like the red-headed step sister to Tamatown, she’s actually the Cinderella story. Most of the properties in Langosta are of the high-end variety, either in the form of large homes, or luxury condos. Speckled amidst the beautiful homes you will find a few townhouse clusters, such as Valencia Del Mar, but not many. For this reason, Valencia Del Mar is a real treat.
Comfortable Accommodations
Past the entryway of the building, into the courtyard, the first thing you will notice about your rental is there are only four family units, each with a view of the babbling fountain in the center. Entering your private unit, you will first be greeted by the air-conditioned interior, a fresh and inviting retreat from the beauty of Costa Rica. Tiled in warm beiges, and detailed in wood, the interior of the home will immediately lull you into tranquility, coaxing you further inside where the ceilings open up to two stories spilling light and grace into every corner.
Continuing into the space you will find: your private sapphire-tiled pool waiting for you with open arms, a lounging area with all the modern entertainment amenities, and a full kitchen where you can play chef, or maybe just hire one to do all the cooking. Up to you. The kitchen is loaded with everything needed: standard appliances, blender, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, full set of dishes, pots, pans, and utensils. There’s even a washer and dryer in the unit so you can do laundry, which means you can pack less, or have more room in your bag to bring home purchases.
Best Beach Walks
The best beach in the area is only steps from the security gate. Playa Langosta means Lobster Beach, but you’ll mostly just find sea-shells. Langosta is one of Costa Rica’s “white sand” beaches, crafted by the tireless smashing of seashells by the ocean, blasting them into grains of sand that tickle your feet as you chase hermit crabs into the tide-pools. Cross the estuary to have a long stretch of beach all to yourself.
There are a few amenities in walking distance as well: a market, a sports bar, and even a Deli. Matty’s serves some of the best sandwiches around. If you want to go into Tamarindo central, from your place you only need take a five-minute car ride or walk twenty minutes along the beach. There you will find shops, nightclubs, restaurants and even mini-golf. Spend your day learning to surf, wrap it up with a nice dinner, enjoy the sunset, and then leave it all in Tamarindo as you slumber in the serenity of Langosta.
Here’s the bottom line: you deserve this.
