The Neighborhood:
Playa Grande is a hidden gem on Costa Rica’s Gold Coast, known for its unspoiled beauty, laid-back charm, and exceptional surf. Nestled within Las Baulas National Marine Park, this tranquil beach town is surrounded by lush mangroves and tropical forest, making it a haven for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful escape. The beach itself stretches for miles with soft golden sand and rolling waves, perfect for surfing, long walks, or simply soaking in the natural surroundings.
What truly sets Playa Grande apart is its commitment to conservation. It's one of the most important nesting sites for endangered leatherback turtles in the world, and visitors can witness these incredible creatures during the nesting season from October to March. The local community is small, welcoming, and eco-minded, with a few charming restaurants, cafés, and surf shops sprinkled throughout. While it feels wonderfully off the beaten path, Playa Grande is just a short boat ride or drive from the lively town of Tamarindo, offering easy access to shopping, nightlife, and additional dining options. Whether you're here to surf, explore, or unwind, Playa Grande offers a rare blend of natural beauty, authentic local culture, and pura vida spirit.

Nice property, lots of construction around!
The villa is nice, great layout, clean, spacious. The pool area could use some love but is OK. The major challenge is that there are 3 construction sites next door with noise from 7am to 4pm! It does impact the pura vida mind set!

Great place but needs alittle attention to details.
Very clean with a great layout. Pool was nice. The house wasnt marked at all and our driver had trouble finding it. The alarm didn't work appropriately. Trouble with 2 of the air-conditioners. One was fixed that day but the other never was. None of the TVs in the bedrooms worked because there was no cable or streaming capabilities. Bad smell in the laundry room but washer and dryer was super nice. Some more dish towels and bath towels would be nice. Had to wash them during the week because there weren't enough. A sheet listing how things worked and local stores and restaurants would be nice. Usually have these at all the other VRBO places I have stayed.
A great place but someone just needs to be sure everything works and pay attention to the details.

March Family Vacation
Our West Coast clan joined their cousins who live in Playa Grande. This villa will easily handle two families--each of the bedrooms is nicely sized and there is a lot of common space. Close to the beach and several restaurants. Great week.
