Property Description
Welcome to our home, CASA COSTA PALMERA, steps away from the Pacific Ocean on the wonderful sands of Playa Grande, Costa Rica. Nestled in the coconut palm trees, built on the sands of the beach, Casa Costa Palmera (sleeps 13) is a vacation home that will leave you breathless. Travel + Leisure Magazine rated COSTA RICA Destination of the year 2024.
Playa Grande has been rated in the top 30 as one of the best beaches on earth. Casa Costa Palmera just so happens to be exactly 40 paces away from where the picture were taken for the magazine. Swim and surf right outside the house. NO volcanic rock obstructions which limit water activities at other nearby beaches. We are located in
Playa Grande 200 meters north of the Hotel Las Tortugas. OUR HOUSE IS LOCATED ON THE BEACH. Literally, the beach is your backyard.
Costa Palmera has one of the best beachfront views on the entire coast. Whether you are coming to the gorgeous Central American country of Costa Rica for a great adventure or to get away from it all, we can accommodate you. The amazing hand crafted woodwork and the beautiful granite counter tops inside this 4 bedroom beach home will truly make you feel like you are on a vacation for the memories. Our home has a privately built-in swimming pool with swim-up stools and BBQ area. Excellent maid service is included daily. We provide linens and beach/bath towels. Cooking is available at an additional cost. Theo, a private masseuse can be hired and massages performed on the premises. Guard on the property at night.
Unlike many vacation properties, Costa Palmera is open and airy, doused with a contemporary touch in the interior of the home. This 4-bedroom beach house has furnishings in every room, along with air conditioning in all rooms. The kitchen and dining room face out towards the ocean leaving for an alluring view of the Pacific Ocean and magnificent sunsets at dusk. The house is equipped with WIFI, making it possible for one to accomplish their daily tasks at work while basking in the sun and enjoying their tropical get away.
Also known as Las Baulas National Marine Park, Playa Grande is a sanctuary for the leatherback turtles whom every year return to the shoreline to lay their eggs. Because the beachfront is nationally protected, it is one of the cleanest beaches in the country. The shoreline is also relatively flat, making for a great place to take your shoes off and go for an evening walk after dinner. Whether you’re on a honeymoon or a surprise birthday vacation, executive or yoga retreat, Costa Palmera is fully equipped to handle
all groups.
Known for its consistent world-class surf, Playa Grande is a surfer’s paradise. The winds are frequently off shore making for well-shaped waves and great surf. Unlike many prestigious surf breaks, the flat, sand-bottomed beach of Playa Grande makes it possible for surfers of all skill levels to have a great time. Surf lessons are just a phone call away right out in front of the villa.
There are a few boogie boards at the house.
The things to do are left to the imagination to explore, including golfing, horseback riding, rain forest excursions, volcano tours, ATVing, fishing, sailing, and much more.
With Playa Flamingo to the north and the quaint beach town of Tamarindo a few miles to the south, Playa Grande is at the epicenter of Guanacaste. Tamarindo has great nightlife on weekends and is a great place to have a lively evening with friends and family. There are a few family owned restaurants near the house, along with a fully equipped surf shop to rent surf boards and/or purchase apparel and many other items.
Master Bedroom: King Size bed, bathroom with shower
Bedroom 2: Queen Sized bed, bathroom with shower
Bedroom 3: Queen sized bed, bathroom with shower
Bedroom 4: 2 Queen beds, 1 full, 1 twin, bathroom and shower
Included in the rental rate is all fees, wireless Internet, maid service, and nightly security.
The owners take great care making sure Casa Costa Palmera is the best rental house on the beach. Repairs and upgrades occur frequently as the proximity to salt water and air can wear on the house quicker than non-beachfront homes. Please immediately alert staff and management if anything is NOT working properly at the house. We need to know.
Nearly 40% of clientele are returning guests who love the house and some consider
Casa Costa Palmera their second home. We want all our guests to enjoy all Costa Rica
has to offer. Please reach out to Shawna should you need anything during your stay
such as help with airport shuttles, car rentals, stocking the refrigerators prior to arrival,
setting up excursions, etc.

It was a beautiful house with a fantastic oceanfront view and access. Tatiana took great care of the place, and we also enjoyed her cooking.

Family holiday
Wonderful welcoming and comfortable home . It was a great treat having the beach steps away from the house. And we appreciated the friendly kind staff. A most positively memorable family holiday for all of us.

Exceeded expectations
The house was perfect for our group. We loved that we could walk out the door and be on the beautiful beach. Tatiana, Teu, Johnny, and Marco took wonderful care of us. The dinner Tatiana cooked for us and the massages were two of our favorite memories from the trip. I would be thrilled to stay there again.

Palm Tree Dreams
The house and its location are perfect; walking distance to town with beach outside your backdoor, on a more mild surf break but walking distance to the larger, and just a short and easy trip from the airport or to neighboring cities/towns. The conceirge service and staff are phenomenal, super laid back and friendly, and very, very helpful. This was our seconde stay. Looking forward to the next.

great stay on the beach
shawna is available and quickly helpful. house is right on the beach. house is older, but comfortable with good a/c. we didn't use the small pool. consistent waves were good for boogie boarding, but a bit strong for novice surfing. house is next door to the public parking lot, so dozens of families with barbecues out front every day (it was holiday time), most of the playa grande beach is almost empty, so we were surprised, but eventually got used to the company. friendly staff watching the house 24/7. cook made great breakfasts. restaurants nearby were so-so. no turtles on the beach any more. activities: i don't recommend the evening turtle tour as it involved a much harder, longer trek than was described plus 50 tourists gawking at 2 poor mama turtles trying to bury their eggs. on the other hand, highly recommend autogyro tamarindo - it's fantastic.

Tropical Paradise
Fully equipped with every imaginable kitchen accessory (except a cocktail shaker!) Wonderfully comfortable beds and pillows, and a truly paradise setting right on the beach.
Dirt/sand access road could use a bit of work, but the house is marvelous. We will be back.

Amazing location
Absolutely loved the location. Quiet and peaceful. Spacious house with everything you need to relax with family. Very easy to check in. Tatiana and Teo were excellent as cook and masseuse. Will definitely come back
