About this villa rental
BEST VALUE for something truly nice in PLAYA GRANDE. Our fully furnished Costa Rica style home provides a wonderful and relaxing getaway in a private, gated, quaint, laid back beach community separated from the congestion of Tamarindo. It is within a short 5 minute walk to a beautiful, pristine surfing beach, several great restaurants, bars, rentals of surfboards, beach chairs, bicycles and even a small grocery store is only a short walk from the house. Tiled roof, floors and counter tops throughout. Relax on the covered patio where Iguanas and colorful birds perch and may be coaxed to eat from your hand (if you are patient enough). Monkeys often frequent our trees. Also, within walking distance, a beautiful estuary provides fishing, boating, and offers a water taxi (5 minute boat ride to Tamarindo for dining, dancing, gambling, shopping and souviners). You may also choose to walk to Tamarindo via the beach (possible only at very low tide or take a very short boat taxi ride ) . Dual vanities in bathroom. Maid service 1 x per week. AWESOME BEACH!!!!! Casa Mambo is close enough to the beach to hear the waves crashing when they are big! It is an easy and short walk to the beach from the house. The architecture and appointments of Casa Mambo reflect the the style and culture of the local area and its people.

Shawna was excellent, the house itself was really quite well stocked. The beds are a bit hard and linens could use a refresh. Our only real complaint was the lack of comfortable outdoor furniture to relax in during the day.

The pool was amazing! So lovely in the shade after a day of sun. The house was perfect for our family and we were so happy that we chose to stay in Playa Grande over the overly touristic Tamarindo!

Casa Mambo is great. It is located close to good restaurants and a short walk to the beach. The pool (shared with 6 units) is lovely and quite private. Shawna the property manager is excellent and very responsive. Relative to other units Casa Mambo would benefit from more comfy outdoor furniture but overall we'd recommend it and would visit again.

We loved our stay in Palm Beach Estates. The quaint community is a perfect getaway for relaxation and surfing. Casa Mambo is about a quarter mile walk to the beach. Along the way, you will come across 3 different awesome restaurants and a mini mart. The mini mart has very basic things. If you want groceries, there are a few supermarkets (not very good ones) about 20 min away. Or you can drive to Tamarindo (40 min) or take backpacks and bags across the water taxi and load them up. There are 2 places to rent surf and boogie boards on your walk towards the beach. Casa Mambo was lovely and Shawna the property manager is easy to work with. The community pool is nice too. Just beware, the living area/kitchen does not have air conditioning. The bedrooms do have AC though. Trying to cook or hang out in the sweltering heat can be challenging. The beds were a bit hard and the pillows were not great. There are a few rusty beach chairs available for use, but it would be nice if there was maybe a beach cooler and some boogie boards offered as well.All in all we really enjoyed our stay!
