Wonderful stay and experience all around. When booking, we didn't fully anticipate just how helpful the concierge and house staff would be in preparation for, and during our stay. This was so much more than just a place to stay. The house, amenities, location, views, pool, and everything were exceptional.

Amazing views and stunning home!

We were a party of 9 and had an amazing time at this home. Close driving distance to beach from house but does require an ATV or AWD vehicle to navigate down to the beach or town. Parking was not an issue. Security guard on premise during the evenings. Housekeepers were fantastic and available . Gorgeous infinity pool with hot tub and amazing sunset views each night.

Magical week in Tamarindo

Property was as advertised, you tube videos were spot on. Great views of Tamarindo beach from the pool area, the pool was awesome. Loved the outside area, we had breakfast there every morning. There was a guard at the property in the evenings. The Sonos sound system was nice, the outside grill area was great we used it a few times. Stay Tamarindo concierge service was great, we used them all the time to book excursions, airports pickups, restaurant reservations and also a good source of information about the area. Our House Mom was awesome, she made us breakfast ever morning, cleaned the rooms as needed, provide pool towels, etc. She was great to have around the house and made our stay very welcoming and fun. Compass house was awesome, can't say enough good things, we had 10 folks stay there over the week and they all loved the house and the town of Tamarindo.

Stayed at the most beautiful beach house in Tamarindo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and our friends family will definitely come back and visit Compass house!The views , rooms and pool were unbelievable. But what mattered most to us was their very friendly staff. Natalia the house manager was absolutely amazing. She coordinated everything for us and always went an extra mile to make sure we had the best time during our stay.Roberto cooked for us every morning and we loved his food. We had two guests that are vegan and he made sure to accommodate a separate menu for him. Reyna our daily cleaning lady was very sweet and did a great job. I want to thank again everyone at Compass house for making sure we left with the best memories. We hope to stay at this house again!

Family Extravaganza

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From the moment we arrived until our departure everything was exceptional. The house was immaculate and the views from every corner were spectacular. Natalia provided topnotch management and. concierge services throughout the entire stay. The group breakfast each morning on the open air terrace was a delicious and amazing start to the day. From the pool boy and gardener to the cleaning staff and security guard, their discreet, respectful, attention to detail was greatly appreciated. The location of Compass House was perfect in relation to the great little surf town of Tamarindo. Definitely a car is necessary to get up & down the steep dirt road leading up to the house from the main drag. Hearing the male Howler monkey’s unique territorial calls, mostly at sunrise, added to our wonderful family adventure.

the best vacation of my life!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Compass House for a friends birthday party this year and couldn't be happier with our decision to stay there. The house is spectacular - all glass and concrete and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. The design is luxurious and modern with brand new appliances and comforts in every room. We opted to have a sweet local maid make us breakfast every day and the food she made was delightful and healthy. She even kept plates for us on days we slept in, going above and beyond what we expected. The pool was epic too! It is an infinity pool with attached hot tub for cooler evenings. I don't think there was every a time when the pool was empty the entire time we were there, our group loved it so much. Nadia and Mario were excellent to deal with and incredibly responsive to the needs of our group. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Our family of 18 stayed at Compass House to celebrate our parents 60th Anniversary. The house could not have been more perfect! The host was VERY responsive, often within a minutes. The 9 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms worked perfectly and were beautiful, well equiped and had very comfortable beds. The 9th bedroom is a separate entrance without a view, but it worked great for our college aged son. Nothing was spared on this house - awnings and shades perfectly placed if you need to get away from the hot sun. Our house moms made delicious breakfast every day and even did our laundry daily if we wanted. As noted in other reviews, the hill to get to the house is steep and bumpy! If you plan to go into town or the beach multiple times, a car or golf cart is a must! We had 1 car and 4 golf carts and there is plenty of parking at the home to accomodate all 5 vehicles easily. We made homemade pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven and they were delicious. We did 2 excursions - Ziplining booked through the conceirge that included transportation. The drive was only 30-45 minutes and we had a great experience. We also booked our own sunset catamaran cruise 1pm-6pm that departed from Tamarindo beach. Everyone from our 3 year old to our 80 year old parents really enjoyed the boat ride, food, and snorkeling. One final note - be prepared to tip the house moms, grounds staff and concierge at the end of your stay - they send a recommendation email - approx. 10% of your booking fee.

Family of 14 on vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Compass House; it is a beautiful, comfortable, very well maintained home. The swimming pool and jacuzzi are exceptional. We had 5 of our grandchildren ranging in age from 6-9 and it was a perfect setup for all of us; the kids were always visible but not necessarily in the same living space which gave their parents a vacation as well.Our 9 days went much too fast. We loved zip lining, surfing and fishing.

The best vacation house for a group

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is incredible with breath taking views. The pool and house is relaxing and everything the pictures make it to be. The breakfast was delicious, beds comfortable and clean. The property management team Five Star were very diligent and helpful with all our questions and request. They helped with reservations, excursions, and transportation.I would take advantage of the guest page when you book, It is helpful with planning your vacation. The road and hill to the house are pain to walk, so rent a car, golf cart, and if you don’t want to deal with parking, Five Star can help connect you to a van pick up service around town for your large group- inexpensive and handy. I would rent this house again.

The property was fabulous, super clean, great outdoor space, fantastic views. Natalia and Maria were a pleasure to deal with. We fit 13 people very comfortably in the house. Going up and down the hill into town can be a bit of a challenge however.
