Photos and Description of the Tamarindo vacation villa rental
A stunning 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath Villa with exclusive features and amenities

Enchanted (in-‘chant-ed): Charmed. Captivated. Beguiled. Bewitched.

The charms of Costa Rica, the captivating natural beauty, the beguiling black sand beaches, and the bewitching sunsets over the Pacific Ocean are all yours to savor and enjoy. However you define it a vacation at Villa Encantada will create lasting memories you, your family and friends won’t soon forget.

At over 2100 square feet Villa Encantada's Moorish design provides you with the perfect combination of space and luxury. Immaculately appointed interior and lush exterior tropical gardens enhance the beauty of the property and bring Costa Rica's flora and fauna right to you. In addition cast stone architectural elements and fountains, native handcrafted hardwood details and Moroccan inspired tiles create the atmosphere for a truly enchanting vacation!

The ideal location for that much needed getaway:

The Villa is perfectly situated across the street from the quiet, secluded Playa Langosta, which invites you to walk for miles on unspoiled beaches, find a driftwood log in the shade along the tree-lined shore to sit and admire the soaring Pelicans or marvel at the spectacular sunsets.

The Villa is conveniently located a short distance to a full service grocery store, many outstanding restaurants ranging from fine dining to family-friendly, world-class surfing and water activities, and a whole lot more.

So much to do, so little time!

The town of Tamarindo, a short walk from the Villa, features numerous restaurants, shops, clubs, a casino and just about everything you could want in a vacation destination. Let the concierge at the Langosta Beach Club create the perfect outing for you and your guests: Enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving? Up for a good round of golf? Why not a thrilling ziplining adventure through one of the local rainforest canopies? Or just sit back and relax on a sunset champagne cruise. The options are virtually endless.

Your peace of mind matters:

Tamarindo also offers readily available ambulance, medical and dental services and pharmacy in case any unexpected emergency arises.

Your own private pool - who could ask for more?

Surrounded by the property's 10 foot high walls and lush tropical gardens, the Villa's oversized pool (the largest in the Villas Cerca del Mar development) features glass tiling inspired by the Pacific, an ornate wall mounted fountain and shaded deck with plenty of seating for both lounging and al fresco dining. The best feature is that the pool is yours exclusively - swim at your own discretion.

When the day is done...

A good night's sleep isn't far away. Turn off the air conditioning, open the screened windows and let the tropical breezes and ocean surf lull you to sleep. Luxurious bed linens, fluffy pillows and blankets create the perfect ambiance for a wonderful rest. Awake refreshed and rejuvenated - ready for another day in paradise. Each bedroom comes with its own en suite bathroom including an open-air shower and adjacent tropical garden.

Master Bedroom (first floor) features a queen size four poster bed crafted of the finest locally sourced hardwoods and comfortable euro-pillow top mattress. Floor to ceiling glass panels separate the bedroom from a completely private rear terrace surrounded by lush gardens, bubbling fountain and comfortable lounge chairs.

Guest bedroom #! (second floor, front) looks out over the Villa's pool and offers guests a queen size bed featuring a euro pillow top mattress and supremely comfortable bedding. In addition guests can relax in a choice of several seating options while enjoying the interior tropical gardenscape. Finally guests can venture through the glass doors and onto a the handcrafted stone balcony overlooking the pool and gardens. In the morning it's a great place to sit and enjoy a cup of Costa Rica's finest coffee or in the afternoon the best spot to take in the spectacular sunsets over the Pacific. Of course the private bath is also another wonderful feature of this guest room.

Guest bedroom #2 (second floor, rear) offers the convenience of twin beds (which can be pushed together) and the same premium bedding and linens as the other guest rooms. An oversized picture window looks through the Villa's wonderful trees through to the hillsides beyond.

Living and dining - perfect together!

Upon first entering Enchanted Villa guests are welcomed into the open plan living/dining/kitchen area. Floor to ceiling windows surround the space on either side, allowing for plenty of air and light into the space. This floor plan is ideal for enabling everyone to join in great conversation.

In the living room comfortable upholstered seating, complements all the comforts of home including a flat screen plasma television, CD/DVD player (so bring your favorite CDs and DVDs), and a state of the art surround sound system. Adjacent to the living room the dining area features a round teak dining table handcrafted from local hardwoods. The built in table leaf enables six guests to sit comfortably around the table.

The heart of the house (Viilla).

Enchanted Villa offers a modern gourmet kitchen fully equipped with top of the line stainless steel appliances. A double filtered water dispenser on the refrigerator door ensures safe drinking water for all guests. The teak island, with butcher block top, is a great spot for friends and family to gather to prepare a meal together.

The inside out.

Just off the kitchen/living/dining area is the outdoor grill area, featuring a chef's gas grill and seating for 4, all surrounded by lush flowers and plants. Adjacent to the grill area is a wet bar so you're never too far from a cold drink.

Conveniently located a little ways down the hall guests will find the half-bath.

About Duncan Calhoun

After living 22 years in New York City we needed a change and moved two hours north to Hudson in upstate New York. in 2009 we opened The Croff House, a 5-room luxury bed and breakfast, and we quickly became the top rated property in town and for three years after the top rated property in New York as well. We're very proud of our accomplishment with The Croff House and hope to provide and equally superior experience to our guests at Enchanted Villa.

Duncan Calhoun purchased this villa in 2012
Why Duncan Calhoun chose Tamarindo

Having visited a few areas in Costa Rica both on the Caribbean and Pacific coasts we were amazed each time at the friendliness and welcoming nature of the Tico's (what the locals are called). Tamarindo has a great vibe - shops, restaurants, nightlife and great beaches, but it still holds on to it's Costa Rican charm: no Starbucks, Gaps or McDonalds here!

Playa Langosta is just a short walk from the Villa. The calm and tranquility of the area was immediately evident; being able to hear the ocean from the Villa was an added bonus.

Becoming members of the stunning Langosta Beach Club we thought our guests would love too. Everything is brand new, it's an awesome facility, and the staff is fantastic. With a fully equipped gym, yoga studio, private beach, full restaurant/bar and more what's not to love?

Best of all? Costa Rica is so EASY to get to and it's totally affordable. The Liberia International Airport was only opened in 2012 and most carriers fly direct from their major hubs. Great weather. Friendly people. Easy to get to. Fantastic food. Easy on the wallet. Lots to do. It was an easy decision.

What makes this villa unique

Enchanted Villa had us when we first walked in. The pool is breathtaking. The Villa and all the architectural details found both inside and out speaks to the quality of the workmanship and the care the Villa is given. Villa Encantada is close enough to everything when you want more activity, and off the beaten path and private when you don't. It's the best of both worlds.

I new the pics of the Villa were great but when opening the front door when arriving was like opening the door to your own private oasis ! I've stayed at resorts in Costa Rica in the past but this is just unbelievable! I and my family and friends enjoyed our stay so much we really didn't want to leave! Russ and Duncan ...5 stars is not enough in my book!! You were so helpful with our stay and most definitely will return ! Thanks for your hospitality and will send the two of you your presents from us soon. One still being made ! Russ...Know I took a lot of pics but hope you have seen some. We had a terrific time !! Thanks again and keep in touch! Pura Vida !!

Owner's Response: Joey: Thanks for the awesome review and for staying at our Villa Encantada! We are so thrilled you all had such a fantastic time at our Villa. We fell in love with the property the moment we stepped through the front door - sounds like you all did too. Leaving "paradise" is not an easy endeavor, but as someone once said, "If you leave a place sorry to have to go you know you will always return." We hope that if your future travel plans include Costa Rica you will once again consider staying at our Villa. Until then we will keep an eye out for your generous gifts and thank you again for choosing Villa Encantada.

This is a beautiful villa and very close to Tamarindo and Langosta Beach Club, which is very convenient.
This villa has great pool and all other amenities you need for your vacation.
Owners of the villa, Duncan and Russ, are very helpful answering any questions you have.
If I would go back again to Costa Rica, I would definitely stay in this villa again.
Owner's Response: Daniel: Thanks for the terrific review! We're happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your vacation at our Enchanted Villa so much. Glad to hear that the Langosta Beach Club was also a hit - the management and staff are so accommodating and welcoming. We're so pleased to be the only Villa in Cerca del Mar to be offering this "perk" as part of our guests' rental. We hope that you will stay with us again in the future should your travel plans include a return to Costa Rica. Until then, thanks again!

Relaxed Stay in Tamarindo

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 14, 2013
  • Stayed: Mar 2013
This villa provided a great home during our stay in Tamarindo. We are a family of five (4 adults and one child) and the accomodations were excellent. Each of the three bedrooms has its own well-appointed en-suite and there is an additional bathroom on the ground floor for general use. This perticular unit has plenty of natural light without being in the sun's direct path. The pool area is larger than most and is well-furnished with good deck chairs and recliners. The fridge is well-sized for a family and all appliances are in good order. The air conditionning units (one in each bedroom and on in the kitchen) functionned well enough to keep the place cool, although one unit leaked and was fixed within 24 hours of our call. The TV is relatively small and we had to ask for a new DVD player to replace an antiquated one, which had no converter. The cleaning and pool maintenance services were prompt and efficient. Parking for one car is adjacent to the unit and there is a night watchman at the entrance to the block of units. Overall, our stay was very good. The only slight drawback was the quality of the finishes within the unit. Because we had just previously stayed in a different unit for one week, when we moved to this one, we felt that it had not been as well maintained by the owner. For instance, the interior walls really need to be re-plastered throughout. This job seemed to have been started in one room but was not completed. Also, the light fixture in the master bathroom had one light component hanging rather than being properly installed. The 'white' floor tiles need to be commerciually scrubbed and in some cases, re-grouted. Some of the doors to the outside had over 1/2 inch gap due to warping. The garburator needs to be replaced and the rubber sink drain ring also needs to be replaced. The art is local, but perhaps too much so as it looks very childish. In other words, the owners need to invest a bit of money to rejuvenate this otherwise wonderful house. With the caveats mentionned above, and with the hope that the owners rectify these items and a few others, we would defenitely recommend this unit to a friend or relative. If you go, try the Pangas restaurant for beach-side dinning and wonderful food. Also, the membership to the Longosta Beach Club that comes with the unit is absolutely fantastic. You can enjoy all the benefits of the Club (fitness room, pool, beach, dinning) as well as live entertainment two evenings per week.
Owner's Response: Sharon: We're so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at our fantastic Villa Encantada. We appreciate your constructive feedback and will certainly continue to do what is needed to ensure our guests have a wonderful and memorable stay and apologize if the Villa did not live up to your expectations.

Enchanted Villa is our winter retreat destination. It's hard for us to think seriously of going anywhere else so we keep going back. The improvements we discovered this year have made it even more enjoyable... air conditioning in the great room now as well as the bedrooms, large flat screen TV, and work to renew interior surfaces. Obviously there is a commitment to maintaining a first rate property. Complimentary membership priviledges at the Langosta Beach club were appreciated... best restaurant in the area.
We'll be back next February!
Owner's Response: Laurie & Beverly: Thank you so very much for the sensational review! We are so glad your "go to" vacation destination has more reasons for you to go back. Thanks also for pointing out many of the enhancements we've made to an already spectacular property. The previous owners created such a wonderful home that made us fall in love with the Villa in the first place. We look forward to having you back again next year. Until then please accept our sincerest thanks!
