Tamarindo is Guanacaste's most established surf and luxury destination, and arguably the best-known beach town on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Decades of tourism investment have produced a deep, walkable hospitality scene with high-end restaurants, boutiques, surf schools, and a sizable North American expat community. For owners, the upside is obvious: year-round demand, strong international name recognition, and consistent direct flights into nearby Liberia (LIR). The challenge is density. Tamarindo has thousands of vacation rentals competing for attention, which means professional management, standout presentation, and disciplined revenue strategy are not optional — they are the difference between an average return and a great one.
Marquis Stays was founded by an owner who got tired of watching local managers leave money on the table. After taking over his own property management and doubling top-line revenue in six months, Doug built the same playbook for owners across Guanacaste — including Tamarindo. In a saturated market, we focus on what actually moves the needle: premium listing presentation, dynamic pricing tuned to local demand windows, direct-booking channels that reduce OTA dependency, and operational consistency that earns five-star reviews. We treat each home like we'd treat our own, because our founder still does exactly that just up the coast.
We manage luxury vacation homes in Tamarindo and the surrounding hillside neighborhoods — Langosta, Tamarindo Heights, and similar enclaves — including ocean-view villas, walkable in-town residences, and multi-bedroom homes designed for families and groups. Most properties we partner with command $300+ per night and have the finishes, amenities, and locations that justify premium positioning.
Tamarindo enjoys some of the strongest year-round demand in Costa Rica thanks to its surf draw, expat community, and direct flights into Liberia. Peak high season runs December through April with significant rate compression around Christmas, New Year's, and Easter weeks. The green season (May–November) softens nightly rates but still produces meaningful occupancy when marketed well — especially to surfers, digital nomads, and weather-flexible travelers. Dynamic pricing, calendar discipline, and channel mix are critical to capturing both peak premium and shoulder-season fill.
Property management in Tamarindo is typically priced as a percentage of gross rental revenue, with the rate depending on service level, property size, and operational complexity. Marquis Stays provides custom quotes after reviewing your home; contact us for a tailored proposal.

Yes. Most of our owners live outside Costa Rica, primarily in the United States and Canada. We provide remote-friendly reporting, transparent communication, and on-the-ground operations so international owners can stay informed without managing day-to-day details themselves.
