About this property

Crystal Sands, Luxury Living on the white Sands of Playa Langosta

  • Located on the white sands of Playa Langosta, just a short 10 minute walk to the center of Tamarindo, Crystal Sands was designed to match the beauty of its natural surroundings. Lush tropical gardens and landscaping embrace the expansive common area, which includes a large pool, spa, and outdoor covered dining area. Extra conveniences, such as outdoor beach showers, and underground parking add to the amenities inside the secure perimeter.

    The condo is large – 3100 square feet. Inside the unit you’ll find an expansive and luxurious living and dining area. Cable TV and free Wifi keep you connected to the outside world as you spread out and relax on the deck over looking the Pacific Ocean. A large gas BBQ on the deck is perfect for grilling your favorite seafood and the elegant custom kitchen will give you the opportunity to create your special tropical delights. And better yet you can dine on the balcony, while enjoying the truly magnificent sunsets

    Three large bedrooms each with a private bath and spacious closets give each visitor the chance for privacy and quiet time if they choose. The master bedroom is huge, with sliding glass doors that open to the deck.

    High-coffered ceilings, Travertine stone floors, and natural stone tile showers add to the opulence of this already stunning condo. Modern amenities include granite countertops, European style wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances.

    If you’re looking for a truly elegant way to enjoy Tamarindo, we invite you to join us at Crystal Sands, where tropical elegance meets the beach.

Truly Excellent Stay

This condo really is even better than described; we would have given it 6 stars if that was an option. The view is incredible, the rooms are all very large, and the property is beautiful (we even saw howler monkeys in the trees in the stunning garden below). It is one of the best outfitted VRBOs we've been in with dozens of utensils for cooking, beach towels and equipment, good security and parking, proactive and responsive management, and perfect location. All around amazing place that we'd rent again!

Great first visit to Costa Rica

We loved the spaciousness of this condo but most of all, loved the private outdoor space. The condo is on the third floor of a five story condo complex but we could not hear or see others staying around us. The sunsets were spectacular and different every evening. You hear the waves of the ocean which is wonderful. Pool was very clean and enjoyed it as well. Great proximity to the restaurants. I do recommend renting a car or golf cart.

Just the break we needed

This place was huge! Room for our family of 4 to spread out but also enjoy time together on the deck or in the family room. Great location- peaceful but close to the action if you want that. Great restaurants close by. Kitchen is so well equipped. I cooked NYE’s dinner and had everything I needed. Highly recommend

The location is beautiful, and everything was just as advertised. We had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We loved being so close to all of the activities, yet we felt so secluded spending every evening on the enormous patio. We were welcomed with fresh bread and jam, which was perfect after our long travel day and much appreciated! Thank you for sharing your beautiful Playa Langosta home with us!

Beautiful, spacious condo over looking the ocean!

We stayed at Crystal sands for 6 nights. The property is beautiful and the condo is fully stocked with everything you need. The property managers were very helpful getting us set up with tours and information about the area. The property is about a 20 min walk to Tamarindo so I recommend renting a golf cart to get around. Highly recommend this property and would stay there again.

View is even better than in the pictures!!

The stay was great! The condo was spotless and well-appointed. The views of sunsets and lightning from the back deck were amazing; the photos don’t do it justice. The owner and the property manager were super responsive with a couple small issues. We had a fabulous stay. Would consider adding luggage racks for suitcases and a couple flashlights (we lost power for a few hours one night). Would absolutely rent again!

Even better than expected!

This property was everything it was advertised to be and more! It is the best stocked rental we've ever stayed at. Very well outfitted, comfortable, and well maintained. We could tell the owners have put a lot of their love and passion for the location into details around the condo. We appreciated the notes around the house to guide us in properly using or preserving everything. Thank you for making our CR experience top notch!

Beautiful Condo

The condo was beautiful, exactly as pictured with an amazing view of the beach and sunset. The location is great for enjoying Playa Langosta and Tamarindo. We rented a golf cart and which made it even easier to explore the area. The security guards were so nice at the condo and very helpful. The condo pool was always empty and a great place to enjoy the afternoon. RPM was very helpful with booking excursions and transportation as well as very quick to respond. We would definitely recommend this condo as well as look forward to returning!!

Beautiful Condo!

We spent a week at this beautiful condo! Everything was as described, if not better! The space and the views were spectacular! The condo was more than well equipped for our needs. Also very clean! The location is excellent with restaurants and shops within walking distance.We would walk into Tamarindo, and take taxi back if we had goods to carry. We did rent a golf cart for some of our stay which was very handy. Overall, we would highly recommend this property. Our host, Annette was so helpful and very responsive. A memorable vacation at this beautiful location.

A fantastic view of the ocean. Everything you can think of in this very spacious condo. Immaculate. Pool and sandy beaches within steps. Be prepared during droughts that you must buy drinking water. Clarify initial steps to enter unit. Owner very timely in answering questions and assisting us when we needed help.

Had a fantastic stay at Crystal Sands! Very clean and spacious. Home is fully stocked with lots of kitchen ware and many extra beach towels/bath towels and extra bedding/pillows/comforters. Extra supplies stocked for kitchen and laundry. Rented a golf cart for the week and that was perfect for getting around Langosta and Tamarindo. RPM management company promptly helped us with anything we needed. They also arranged driver to and from airport for us. Very helpful. We hope to be back!

Amazing stay

This condo is gorgeous, clean and has everything! We had a fantastic time. There were a ton of towels and beach toys to use. The property managment and guards were lovely and helpful. Pool was great and kids loved to swim. It's in the shade in the afternoon which is nice. Condo is huge and comfortable and the balcony sunset view can't be beat. The kids loved snorkeling in the tide pools. There is a sandy place to swim in mid/high tide right near the condo with lots of trees for shade. There is also another much less rocky beach about a 10 minute walk to the left of the condo. Condo is an easy walk into Tamardino, but there is also a small grocery store and some restaurants just up the street.

An Unforgettable Escape to Paradise!

Our stay at this spacious 3-bedroom condo in Playa Langosta was truly exceptional – a perfect 10 out of 10 experience! The condo itself was flawless, and we absolutely adored the expansive patio overlooking the ocean. We began most mornings with walks on the beach, followed by coffee on the patio, occasionally enjoying the delightful sight of monkeys in the nearby trees on a couple of occasions – a wonderful bonus! The decor was beautiful, the condo was super clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful and luxurious stay.The location was ideal. We truly appreciated being in the tranquil, high-end neighborhood of Playa Langosta, yet still incredibly close to the lively town of Tamarindo. Renting a golf cart made for super convenient and quick access to all the Tamarindo action.The condo's kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, which made preparing most of our meals at "home" a breeze and a pleasure. Dining al fresco on the patio, with that breathtaking ocean view, was a daily highlight. For the evenings we chose to dine out, we highly recommend two fantastic local spots: Fishes and Cheeses and Sofia's.Our hosts were, without a doubt, the absolute best. Their communication was excellent, and they were a pleasure to work with. What truly set them apart was how impeccably maintained and perfect the condo was.

Luxurious Condo with Breathtaking Views

We had an excellent stay at Crystal Sands. The condo was immaculate and well appointed and the layout was spacious and very comfortable. As much as we enjoyed the interior of the unit, nothing could beat the views from the beautiful balcony! We saw a spectacular sunset on our first night. Our hosts provided excellent information about the condo and the area prior to our arrival and we took advantage of arranging some transportation through RPM. Communication was easy and efficient. In hindsight, we wished that we had rented a car for some older members of our group, but we managed well enough and did elect to rent a golf cart one day. Our group cannot say enough good things about this rental. We would happily return if the opportunity arose! Pura vida!

Beautiful Condo on the Beach

Our family of 5 had a wonderful week at this property. It is located right on the beach and the morning views and sunsets from the porch are truly spectacular. The unit itself is clean and modern, very solid. It is a little walk into town - maybe a half mile to the busy area - but it felt very safe. You can also walk down the beach to get into town. It’s a nice beach walk, but a little rocky. The beach right outside the building is pretty rocky too. The sandy part of the beach is maybe a 5-10 minute walk away. It’s a quiet part of Tamarindo, so I guess it depends what you are looking for - if you are looking for a party place with easy access to all the bars and restaurants, this probably isn’t for you. If you are ok going back and forth into town (we rented a car, but a lot of people had golf carts) then this is a great spot. Pool was nice. We used it a couple times. Gated building with parking. Guards were super nice. All in all it was a great property and Tamarindo is a beautiful, fun town.
