Tamarindorentals.com came to be in 1995 when  Julius Kudelka, a  pioneer in Tamarindo moved to a tiny surf town with only a single dusty dirt road before anyone saw the potential or could have imagined that 30 years later Tamarindo would be the Number 1 tourist destination in Costa Rica. Julius and I are repurposing this important domain name as a community business resource and news platform focused on Guanacaste for the benefit of all that have made Guanacaste their home and center of livelihood and it is designed for  visitors and residents alike.

Rodgers Bestgen  drove down from Boston in 2004 and opened Cafe Internet Nany behind the super Lopez in Brasilito with 10 networked computers through a dial up modem. When the teachers from the nearby newly opened Country day school kept arriving at my cafe because their new  fiber  optic wide area network  was not working  at their start of the new school year, Mr Bestgen was asked to investigate, solved the problems and was summarily hired. After several years  working at the school  as technical director Mr Bestgen started his own web design and internet marketing consultancy taking as his  first clients the owner of a fledgling real estate company named Blue Water Properties, Led by a dynamic half  Tica named Rebecca Clower and my current partner  Julius Kudelka the developer of the fabulous Mango Condominium complex  in Tamarindo. Ultimately Mr. Bestgen began accepting contracts from the Costa Rican governments tourism board promoting medical tourism to Costa Rica. Bringing us to the present day

 Thank you for visiting. This domain was secured 16 years ago by my partner Julius which is amazing foresight considering what a technically challenged but otherwise solid human being he is and pretty smart as he hired me fifteen years ago to manage his technical affairs and promote his rental real estate. We have been sitting on this important domain waiting for the right moment and vehicle. That time is now. I first visited Tamarindo 20 years ago and arrived at night to a simple surf town with one main dirt road and a dusty mess. Who knew that based on a love for surf, perfect conditions for beginner and expert surfers and an eclectic bohemian vibe and innate beauty that Tamarindo would become the number one tourist destination in the country for all the right reasons. This makes my partners foresight border on genius as at the heart of this town is the pulsing and vibrant daily commerce associated with…. You guessed it, Rentals. Whether it’s a surfboard, a motor scooter, a beachfront mansion or a hotel room this town turns on rentals. The magic happens mainly because it still retains that Small surf town vibe but now with an eclectic hum of activity surrounding it. Before you eschew progress I will explain why I’m happy about it. The increase of economc activity has attracted some of the best and the brightest in the hospitality industry. So my favorite spot on the beach ten years ago #witchsrock now offers great home brews and sushi prepared by a sushi master and remains my favorite most notably their outdoor chickee bar #Elvaquero Which remains the best spot to view the beach and surf action. Beach volleyball and people of all ages passing by carrying surfboards is quite cool. Don’t miss it. Thank you for visiting and if you have the slightest interest in Costa Rica I recommend bookmarking this page as like Tamarindo it will be a cool and lively place and we are committed to capturing the essence of this destination until you pull the trigger and come down and experience it for yourself.
