Casa de las Olas (House of the Waves) is the personal and secondary residence of your hosts, Karen and Rik Grencik. In being one of the few private residences that are available to the public, Casa de las Olas provides you with a unique opportunity to enjoy your vacation by staying in what truly feels like your own personal home. Your hosts recognize that when you are looking for a vacation rental, you have many choices. In sharing their home with you, their goal is to provide you with a memorable tropical experience, at a cost that’s less than many of the high priced hotel rooms.
If you would prefer a private setting over a busy hotel lobby or having a multitude of neighbors, you can begin to understand why this home has become one of the most sought after properties in the Tamarindo area. Whether it’s surfing, fishing, diving, exploring, reading, or just plain old relaxing, let Casa de las Olas be your tropical oasis.

Casa de las Olas is a two-bedroom, two-bath residence with a large terrace that fronts the entire home. Although not directly on the beach, the warm Pacific waters will touch your toes in less than a two-minute walk. The hammocks on the front terrace are a favorite of guests – If you listen carefully, like a seashell the hammocks are calling you and awaiting your arrival.

The spacious bedrooms each have a luxuriously comfortable, queen-size mattress that awaits your body for those restful naps and a good night’s sleep.

There are two spacious bathrooms that allow our guests to choose between a sunken shower or a large tub to cool oneself from the heat of the tropical sun. Additionally, the outside shower greets the beachcombers at the entrance to the property and invites them to rinse the salt and sand in a natural, serene environment – this experience is also a favorite of guests..

The fully equipped kitchen includes a stove, refrigerator, microwave oven, blender, CD stereo / radio (don’t forget to bring your favorite CD’s) toaster, coffee maker, plates, bowls, silverware, etc. And, although Tamarindo has a number of exceptional restaurants, Casa de las Olas awaits your talents in the kitchen should you choose to add homemade aromas to your tropical home.

The back yard allows for an additional private area to enjoy and/or to entertain. The central fountain, the Bar-B-Q, and the two hammocks in the palm-roofed “Rancho” are favorites as well.

If you've ever thought about learning to surf, Casa de las Olas saves you money by providing not one, but two, "soft-top" surfboards for your use (if you wanted to rent a surfboard from one of the surf shops, it would cost you $30 to $40 per day).

By providing such simple pleasures as the soft-top surfboards, boogie boards, surfboard racks, TV/DVD (remember to bring your favorite DVD’s), maid service every other day, and other amenities, it allows you to feel as if this is your home away from home. Casa de las Olas awaits your arrival and will provide for you the wonderful experience of having your own home within a tropical setting – We look forward to your arrival.
