The bus looks cool and it inspired my husband to look into making his own casa bus. The inside is roomier than you would think. It has everything you need for a couple of days in tamarindo. It helps that there is a nice covered wooden deck to hang out on. We appreciated the hot shower. The hot tub was nice, it takes a while to heat up so we used it the second day. Nice and close walk to the beach!

Amazing location. Really private right on the beach. Property was fantastic: comfortable, great bathrooms, hammocks and an outdoor grill if you’re so inclined. Alejandro couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. I had a wonderful stay and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Lovely owners who were kind and helpful. Delicious breakfast. Bar restaurant nexr door is great fun and full of lively locals. 1.5 block away is a great little karaoke bar too. Loved every bit of our stay.
