    Everything was so wonderful! My friend and I had such a fun time at Villa Nautilus and wandering around Tamarindo. Angelie gave amazing recommendations for food and local things to do. She is very knowledgable. The location fabulous and so close to the beach!

    I have no complaints!

    The couple that own this property are incredibly inviting, friendly, and helpful. We arrived in Tamarindo with loose ideas of what we wanted to do, but didn't have anything booked. They recommended so many great activities, like a private surf lesson and a catamaran trip and took a lot of the effort of research off of our hands. The property itself is relaxing, secluded, and safe. Still centrally located and easy to walk everywhere in town.

    Everything was wonderful! Agelie and Laurent were lovely hosts- so kind and helpful and communicative. We loved our breakfasts on the terrace- fresh and delicious! The location was great- close enough to the beach and restaurants and shops, but far enough to not hear the noise of the town. The bed was comfy, the room was clean, the property was lovely!

    Wish we could have a light outside on after 8pm so we can play cards. If you wanted to stay up you'd need to be in your room or out of the Villa at night. It's kinda hard though because the hosts don't want to deal with people being loud and staying up forever.

    Friendly and very helpful hosts! They are there for anything you need. Beds are comfortable. Had cleaning staff everyday. Pool was nice.

    Close to town, but far enough out to not hear the noise from bars. Very clean, comfy bed and excellent breakfast and beautiful room and pool area. The family are so lovely and give very helpful advice on the local area, arranging tours, advice where to go and what to avoid.

    A beautiful, comfortable, quiet villa to relax in, right in the center of Tamarindo.

    Wish there was a full size mirror in the room and more shelving in the bathroom. Also wish there were complimentary coffee and fruit, throughout the day in the restaurant area near the pool.

    I loved the guest house and our accommodation! Our studio apartment had everything we needed, a small kitchenette where we prepared food, a comfy couch and coffee table area to relax with a book, and even a small private outdoor area, where I enjoyed hearing the sounds of the birds. The property is quiet and beautiful, while still in a central location in the town of Tamarindo. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We received warm service from the owners and staff and a ton of recommendations on where to go to make the best of our stay. We enjoyed having coffee and breakfast at the property too, it was delicious! The pool area is wonderful too, a great place to relax. I can not wait to go again!

    We loved our stay at Villa Nautilus. The owners were very accommodating to us traveling with small children. We enjoyed our stay and our son had a lot of fun playing with Lenzo. The location couldn’t have been more perfect and even though it was so close to the main strip it was very quiet. The breakfast was very good-the staff were lovely.

    More lighting in the room and bathroom and in shower shelving in bathroom to get ready would be helpful. Some type of storage for clothing you need to hang is ideal as well.

    Agélie the owner was the absolute best tour guide of Tamarindo. Great guidance for restaurants and activities. She set up amazing surf lessons for us. Was always very attentive to our needs and also friendly throughout our stay. She does an excellent job keeping things running smoothly for her guest.

    Room is kind of dark - not a deal breaker but it can be improved. Had to go inside the house to access the room (I expected a private balcony, which is the case for the other room on the same floor)

    Everything is super clean, the staff and the owners are very friendly, the breakfast is good and the pool area is lovely. The owner gave us great tips on where to eat and go which helped us a lot.
