Why Tamarindo Owners Trust RPM

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.

What Does Reliable Property Management Look Like?

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:

Years in Operation

A company that has weathered multiple seasons, economic cycles, and a global travel disruption has proven its model works. RPM has operated in Tamarindo continuously since 1999, through the 2008 financial crisis, the 7.6 earthquake in 2012, the COVID pandemic, and the boom since.

Staff Tenure and Team Size

Long-serving staff means your home is cared for by people who know it, not a rotating cast of contractors. RPM’s first two employees from 1999 still work here. The leadership team averages 10+ years with RPM, and the full team is 40-plus people.

Consistent Guest Reviews Across Airbnb, VRBO, Expedia, and Google

One great review is luck. Thousands of great reviews across Airbnb, VRBO, Expedia, and Google over many years is a system working as designed.

What You Gain From 25+ Years of Experience

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.

Trusted Local Contractor Relationships

After 25+ years, RPM has trusted relationships with local contractors, pool technicians, and A/C technicians. That keeps costs reasonable and response times short.

Vetted Tours and Guest Experiences

RPM knows the best tour guides in Tamarindo, with reliable vehicles and great experiences, so your guests have a great stay.

Pricing Judgment Through Every Market Cycle

RPM has priced vacation rentals through booms, busts, and a pandemic. That experience protects your revenue when conditions shift. Request a Property Income Report.

Our Most Important Asset: Our Team

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.

Transparent, Consistent Owner Accounting

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.
