This Spanish Mediterranean-style house is located in Palm Beach Estates in Las Baulas Marine National Park in Guanacaste. The house is a 5-minute walk to Playa Grande beach, the seasonal nesting grounds of the endangered leatherback turtle and an internationally famous surfing beach, and also to the mangrove estuary, several restaurants, a market/bar/internet cafe, and surfboard rentals and lesson providers. Tamarindo is accessible within a short walk via the beach and water taxi to cross the estuary, or in 25 minutes by car. A separate studio apartment on the property is available as as an additional rental for larger groups, or as a standalone rental for individuals and couples. The main house has 3 bedrooms (2 upstairs, 1 downstairs), including a master bedroom with a king-size bed and full-size futon, and two bedrooms with queen-size beds. Each bedroom has its own closet with security safe and private balcony/lookout, plus a hammock on the downstairs bedroom patio. There are 2 full bathrooms, one downstairs with a double shower and one upstairs with a bathtub. The downstairs contains a spacious open living and dining area, full kitchen with a wall oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer with icemaker, breakfast island with gas range, dishwasher, and a study/reading room that opens up to the pool and patio area. The upstairs has a sitting room with a 4K Smart TV, plus a full-size futon for additional sleeping space. All rooms have individually controlled air-conditioning and ceiling fans, all floors are wide Brazilian tile, and there is high-speed cable internet with a mesh WiFi network that covers the full property. If you need additional space, we also have a studio apartment, available as a separate rental unit, which contains an additional full-size bed and futon, as well as a small kitchen, dining table, full bathroom, and Smart TV. The outside features a large wrap-around terrace with a dining area and hammock, semi-shaded lap pool with patio and chairs, lush tropical garden with plentiful flora and full-grown trees, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. There are plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities available right from the terrace or patio, with hundreds of birds, howler monkeys, iguanas and butterflies in the neighborhood.

Quite and beautiful Villa. Minutes walk from the immaculate beach. Lime, Coconut, and Papaya trees on property. Pool is perfect for children. Howler monkeys hung out in trees on property for several hours yesterday. Management was attentive. Can not wait to come back. Peace

La propiedad es muy bonita, sin embargo pensamos que puede ser un poco mas limpia por el precio de la propiedad. Las sábanas tenían muy mal olor. La mayoría de los implementos de cocina estaban muy viejos y manchados. La refrigeradora se dañó el día que llegamos pero shawna nos resolvió rápido. Las sillas de playa también muy herrumbradas. Creo que pueden mejorar en esos detalles. La atención de Shawna fue muy buena y pronta es un punto a rescatar

My family and I stayed here for 8 days during our trip to Costa Rica. Colin's home is very comfortable (I slept great!) and had everything we needed with the exception of basic condiments which was a bit of a bummer. That said, the house is located just minutes walking distance to the beautiful Playa Grande and amazing restaurants so we ended up eating out a lot. Shawna, the property manager, was extremely helpful and available with any questions. I highly recommend choosing this house if you plan to stay here. Pura Vida!

El lugar es muy cómodo la piscina y el resto de la casa están muy bien acondicionados, en respecto a la encargada de la casa creo que le falta un poco de servicio al cliente !
