Tamarindo Property Management: 25+ Years of Reliability Since 1999

Owners trust RPM because it has delivered the same results, year after year, since 1999: high-quality customer service, consistent bookings, careful maintenance, transparent accounting, and guest reviews that keep calendars full.

RPM Vacation Rentals is a property management company in Tamarindo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, founded in 1999. Many property management companies have come and gone over the last 25+ years. RPM’s success comes from thoughtful leadership, quality employees, consistency, and a passion for the work.

Other companies may have a glossy pitch, but follow-through is rare. What matters is whether your home is cared for, booked, and reviewed well into year three, year ten, and beyond. RPM has spent more than two decades building that consistency, and it is the reason owners trust their vacation properties to us. See our full list of management services.

Reliable property management means an owner can step away from the day-to-day and trust that bookings, maintenance, guest issues, and accounting are handled the same way every month, for years to come. When comparing Tamarindo property management companies, check for three things:

Longevity gives RPM owners three advantages a newer company cannot offer: established local relationships, vetted guest experiences, and pricing judgment tested through every market cycle.

RPM’s 40-plus person team is the main reason RPM is the best choice for property management in Tamarindo. Most of the leadership team has been with RPM for at least 10 years, and several for much longer.

Staff Who Know Your Home

A team with this kind of longevity delivers consistent, high-quality service and anticipates owner needs before they come up. A housekeeper who has cleaned the same condo or house for 10 years notices what an owner might miss, like a slow drain or a refrigerator making an unusual noise, and reports it so it is fixed before it becomes a bigger problem. RPM’s maintenance staff has worked on many properties through multiple owners and knows what has and has not been done. For homes new to RPM, the team knows the area, its common challenges, and what has historically worked for rentals and maintenance.

Available 7 Days a Week, 365 Days a Year

RPM has customer service staff in the office every day, and housekeeping and maintenance teams in the field every day. An emergency phone line covers after-hours issues, so owners can relax knowing someone is always available to take care of their property.

Better Guest Experiences Mean Better Reviews and More Bookings

RPM’s team is what drives great guest reviews, and great reviews drive more rentals. When reservations, housekeeping, gardening, and maintenance work together seamlessly, guests have great experiences, and that shows up in the reviews. Learn more about RPM.

RPM provides clear, consistent monthly accounting so owners always know the state of their finances. Accounting for more than 100 properties takes a dedicated, detail-oriented team, and RPM’s accounting and accounts payable staff have more than 40 combined years at the company.

The team is led by RPM owner Kevin Herman, who spent 15 years in project management and finance in the United States and holds a master’s degree in finance. He designed RPM’s streamlined accounting systems so owners receive a clear picture of their property’s finances every month.

The accounting team works with every other department to make sure projects are considered both financially and practically. Some companies charge fees that are hard to understand. At RPM, we believe clear is kind, and we are always ready to explain any line on your statement.
