How do I find a place to live in Tamarindo?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...

"Tamarindo offers a variety of housing options for visitors and residents alike. Short-term visitors may choose to stay in a hotel, beachfront condo, or private vacation rental. For long-term visitors or those looking for a more permanent residence in the area, there are numerous rental homes and furnished apartments available. Additionally, it is possible to purchase property in Tamarindo and build a custom home. Many real estate agents in the area specialize in local properties and are available to assist with finding the perfect home," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Tamarindo, Costa Rica.

"On one visit, we took a side trip to Costa Rica to explore the beaches of Guanacaste. When we drove into Tamarindo, it felt a California beach town with a nice vibe. Over the next couple of years, we took a few trips to Playa Flamingo and Tamarindo to further explore the area and to look at condos for sale. We bought an ocean view condo in Tamarindo a couple of years before we retired, and then moved there full time after retiring in May 2013 (age 61-62). We liked the beach and the availability of a variety of restaurants and stores in Tamarindo, and easy walking access in town," commented one expat who made the move to Tamarindo, Costa Rica.
