About this property

Find your zen or thrills in a recently renovated condo complex!

Currently, the condo is booked until August 2024. It is located in the heart of Tamarindo, Costa Rica, and is a short walk from any attraction in town, including the beach. Located just off the main street, it provides the quiet of being away from the noise of the day and nightlife, yet it is less than a block away from being on the main drag. It is also less than half a block away from the supermarket.

My particular unit is on the first floor next to the pool. It is especially convenient for those with strollers or mobility issues.

The master bedroom has a king bed and a master full bathroom. The second bedroom has one bunk style twin bed that is suspended from the ceiling, and a full bed underneath; the second full bathroom is in the hallway. There is a fully stocked kitchen with a microwave. There is also a washing machine in the unit (the condominium complex has free dryers).

There are televisions in the living room and second bedroom, and free wifi. Linens and towels are also provided.

I hope you enjoy the unit and Tamarindo as much as I do! Please share feedback on what you enjoyed and how I can continue to improve your experience!

About the area

Tamarindo

Located in Tamarindo, this condo is near the beach. While the natural beauty of Tamarindo Beach and Conchal Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course. Las Baulas National Marine Park and Monkey Park are also worth visiting. Snorkeling and motor boating offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours and horse riding nearby.

Stay at Balcones del Pacifico, Tamarindo, CR 👍🏼
We had a great stay at this condo. The location was so convenient for walking to the beach, great food and shops. Communication with the owner was easy, fast and effective. The condo was lovely - clean, quiet and wonderfully cool on those hot afternoons! Would recommend as a place to stay.

A perfect stay in Tamarindo
We loved everything : the location very close to the beach and a short walk to the surf spot. Also just beside the grocery store. We loved the swimming pool, the tranquility of the place and how well maintained the garden is (a special thanks to Alberto). We asked a few questions to Kamina during our stay and she always responsed very quickly. Would come back again.

Pura Vida in Tamarindo
The property is quite spacious and very close to the quiet pool. The demographics skewed to retiree-aged people. However the younger people were very nice and a pleasure to talk to. This is not a party facility. It’s centrally located and close to many restaurants and downtown Tama. Minutes to the beach as in, never problem if you forget something back at the condo. Alberto, the gardener, is very friendly and helpful. The owner, Parmina, is super helpful and replies quickly to any questions. I hesitate to write this as we want to return again next year!

About the host

Host profile image
My name is Kamina, and I am the single mother of an adult teenage daughter; we live outside of Atlanta. My sister and I bought this condominium several years ago while on vacation with my sister and daughter. We fell in love with the town, the people, and the culture of Costa Rica. Now my daughter and I return every summer. Tamarindo is the kind of place where I felt safe (in the day) allowing my daughter to walk to the supermarket or to buy a smoothie by herself. Of course, this was after a few summers, and people know and look out for her there, but I loved that she could be independent and safe in way that is not always possible at home.

My daughter is spending a gap year before college in Tamarindo. She will be returning to the States in August 2024, so the condo will be again available for rent after then. In the meantime, the complex is undergoing renovations, including a completely renovated pool.



Why they chose this property

This property is convenient to EVERYTHING, but on quiet street off the main street. Honestly, that is generally true of most places as Tamarindo is a very walkable town. You do not need to rent a car. What makes Balcones a superior property is that it has a better pool than most condominiums in Tamarindo, and its location is uniquely quiet while still managing to be close to the major attractions in town. I cannot think of a more perfectly located condo.
I LOVE the people here. The place is touristy, but the locals are incredible. I couldn't believe it when the second summer I visited a bar, the bartender not only remembered me, but he remembered my drink! I know and care about so many people there, and the number grows every year.

What makes this property unique

Balcones is very home-y. My unit in particular is in a location that is very convenient to the pool and the free dryers. I am on the first floor and am constantly washing beach clothes, towels, and swimsuits, so I am glad that I have a short walk to the dryers after I wash clothes (washing machine is in the unit). I also like that I am close to the entrance, but not AT the entrance to the gated complex. There are only 24 units, so the pool is often empty throughout the day; it feels very private.
