I have been planning travel for myself and my extended family for several years. We have had our share of ups and downs when it comes to houses, hosts, and concierge services. Casa Estrella Azul is our new high standard for vacation rentals. The photos did not even begin to do justice to this house! Upon entry, every guest was in awe of the architecture and decor. Azure blue and crisp white lent an open and welcoming feeling to this lovely home.
Our chefs were perfectly pleased with the kitchen furnishings and were able to find everything that was needed to provide meals to all 13 family members. The rooms are well furnished with very comfortable beds and the bathrooms are squeaky clean with plenty of storage and counter space.
Casa Estrella Azul's location is perfection! It is within easy walking distance to town and the beach - our group enjoyed shopping, spa time, shore fishing, surfing, and breweries without the need for a car!
Last, I want to note that the house's management company, Stay in Tamarindo, was truly the best hospitality group that I have ever worked with! Diego, our concierge, was attentive and always available for questions or issues. Because of flight problems, only three of us arrived on the first day of our booking. The other 13 arrived the following evening and Diego made sure that each group was taken care of. He helped to plan and reserve all of our excursions (some of which had to be rescheduled due to the arrival delay) and made sure that transportation was made available, when necessary.
Overall, this was the best vacation stay that our family has ever experienced, by far! We happened to have timed our trip when the owners were in town and had the good fortune to meet them. They are a real treat! Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!
