Villa Serenidad
Playa Tambor, Costa Rica
Rent Villa Serenidad.
3 Bedroom - 3 Full Bathroom - For 6-8 people - 1/4 Acre Yard - Custom 25' Pool with Waterfall - 1 min walk to the Ocean.
Welcome to Playa Tambor, Costa Rica—a hidden gem where the rhythm of the ocean meets the luxury of a gated paradise.
Nestled on the stunning Nicoya Peninsula, this tranquil oceanside community is where your soul takes a vacation. Picture this: mornings with golden sunrises over the Pacific, afternoons tee time with Scarlett Macaws, and evenings paddle boarding in the bay over looking the mountains and stunning sunsets. Our home is located in a safe, secure, gated community where children run free along with the monkey's.
Step into the charm of an authentic Costa Rican escape! Villa Serenidad is an original Dolphin home, lovingly maintained to preserve its unique character. Nestled on a rare 1/4-acre lot, this property boasts a 25' pool with a tranquil waterfall and is just a 1-minute walk to the ocean.
While the kitchen isn’t modern, it’s fully functional and stocked with essentials to make your stay comfortable. Embracing the rural Costa Rican lifestyle means adapting to salty, hard water, which may cause rust and stains—these are signs of nature, not neglect.
In this biodiverse paradise, you may encounter the occasional bug or gecko, both inside and outside the home. It’s all part of the vibrant, living ecosystem that makes Costa Rica so special!
If you’re seeking a cozy retreat with amenities like air conditioning, a stocked kitchen, and a laid-back atmosphere, Villa Serenidad is the perfect getaway. Experience the beauty, nature, and authenticity of Costa Rican living!

Pricing & Seasonal Insight
For current nightly rates and availability, you can view our full pricing directly on our Airbnb profile.
That said if you’re considering booking direct or planning a longer stay, we offer preferred rates and added value for guests who reach out to us personally. It’s often the smarter way to experience the villa.
Seasons at a Glance:
High Season: December – March
Low Season: April – November
If you’re open to a little insider perspective… low season is where the magic shifts.
The pace slows, the crowds thin, and Costa Rica feels more real. You’ll find better availability, easier bookings (yes, even car rentals), and often more flexibility across the board. It’s a more relaxed, immersive experience without sacrificing the beauty that brought you here in the first place.
And if your timing aligns…
Be sure to ask about our March Madness Bonus for month-long stays. It’s one of our favourite offers and one our returning guests quietly plan around.
Please Note:
For direct bookings, we work by clear vetting process & referral only. This allows us to ensure a trusted, aligned experience for both our guests and our team there’s real value in the “friends of friends” network.
Testimonials
Copied from Airbnb -SUPER HOST Status & Booking.com
"Our stay was wonderful. We felt at home. The villa was impeccable, equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The natural environment is spectacular. We enjoyed every detail, without a doubt, a perfect place to relax and create special memories."
Ligia -July 2025
"We were a group of 6 (2 adults, 2 teens, and 2 pre-teens), and had a wonderful time. The house is very spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to relax. The beds were all extremely comfortable, and the highlight for the kids was definitely the beautiful private pool. The location is excellent — just a short walk to the beach, a small convenience store, and a nearby restaurant. Overall, we had a great stay and would return."
Trina -July 2025
"Quiet and beautiful place. I had an excellent time with my family. A perfect place to relax and connect with nature. The beautiful pool and easy beach access"
Gabriela -April 2025
"Excellent location, great communication with host, private pool and a house with everything you need. 10 out of 10"
Johanna -Jan 2025
"Kristy's home was beautiful and everything we wanted for vacation. The close proximity to the beach and the luxury of a private pool was amazing. The wildlife did not disappoint either. We were able to see scarlet Macaws, howler monkeys, iguanas and many other animals either right at the property or within a five minute walk of the property. Kristy and Lisa (property manager) were amazing hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure my family was comfortable and had what we needed. I would definitely recommend and would like to get back there in the future!"
Johanna -Jan 2025
"We had a great time on Kristy’s place, she was very easy to talk to and the area is beautiful, my family had a great time, my kids enjoyed the pool and it is very close the beach, the only negative thing was the power outages in the area, this was not Kristy’s fault but we experienced several power outages during our stay"
Daniel -March 2024
*Power outages is common in ALL of Costa Rica
"*location was amazing. *neighbours were great *great walking beach and roads *beach was great..sand clean...fun waves...small undertow *this is not a brand new build as they did tell us in description...if you are looking for a new build look elsewhere. This house was still great. Tons of room. 3 baths with 3 beds hard to find. A true Costa Rican house with a stain here and there. *Without a thought would return *Look up Harrys number in the house info book...we loved him. Used his services a couple days as a driver. *this area is very rural...nothing close by without driving. We were fine with this. Stocked up at Price Smart in Liberia on way. *take advantage of market at front gates on weekend."
