Amazing home and Karalee is a great host. She had excellent recommendations and this house is easily walkable to the beach. Thanks Karalee!

We had a wonderful time staying at "the house of dreams"! The home is beautifully decorated with so much character and had everything we needed. We had such a blast playing in the pool with our kiddos. We saw a family of monkeys a few times, and so much other wild life like iguana and kudamundi (Pizote) The house is walkable to restaurants and the beach, however i would recommend renting a golf cart specifically for trecking back from the beach in the heat if you have kids or elderly people with you. Playa grande was such an awesome community and we hope to come back soon! Hopefully it doesn't get to crowded!

Great place, liked the kitchen and large gathering area. Would have Natalia over more to cook meals for us in the house, she does a great Arroz con pollo. Kept cool in house with AC. Karalee and Jorge provide great guidance on where to go, places to eat, favorite excursions, etc. Good security, felt safe.

Karalee was so responsive, made great recommendations, and was super friendly. The house managers were also friendly and gave us a full tour and answered all our questions about air conditioning, washer and dryer, etc. The house was very interesting with fun statues and instrument for us to enjoy! We had a very short walk to the beach and also close to the small town and trails to go on. The pool was also a nice place to hang out and they included all kitchen appliances. Overall my family enjoyed this house and would recommend it to pretty much every one

I had an amazing time staying at the Casa de los Sueños. Our trip had been a bit complicated because of a lot of unexpected hiccups before making it to Playa Grande and so when we finally made it to the house we could not have been more pleased. The house is beautiful, very close to an amazing beach that still feels very much connected to nature. Karalee was also extremely helpful and communicated with us whenever we needed anything, even though she was traveling at the time. Would highly recommend staying here.

I know I submitted a review but it did not seem to post! We did have a very complicated start to your travels with schedule changes and late arrivals. But it all worked out. We hope you get to visit again and stay longer; truly enjoy this area and all it has to offer! Thank you for choosing our home.

Karalee’s place has many things to recommend it. It’s a beautiful home with a great pool near the beach. I wish we had visited during the rainy season or just after the rainy season. I’m sure our stay would have been five star except Guanacaste in April is just too dry. The heat is especially difficult and the lack of lush foliage was unappealing. We had never been here before so now we know to time our stay in Guanacaste for October to December. The Playa Grande area is fun and not overrun with tourists and the owner and house manager are helpful.
Host Response
Hi Susan , I agree you visited in the dry season . Definitely not my favourite time of year either. That is far out of my control . I am sorry you chose that time of year. Some people love the heat and surf. As well as all the wonderful festivities at that time. I feel your lower rating of our home due to the weather is very unfair and we work very hard to ensure our guests have a wonderful stay. Sadly you impact our rating on Airbnb and that is out of our control.

House was great! It’s clean, private, and surrounded by lush forest. Our 1st evening in the pool, a family of monkeys hung out with us just above the pool in the trees…..I think they liked our music😁. It’s walkable to most restaurants and beach. Find the wooded path thru the woods to the beach for a more Costa Rica feel. Our only disappointment was we couldn’t stay longer😞

The house was gorgeous and exceeded our expectations for its location, expansiveness, lovingly decorated space, and amenities. We had a variety of issues getting to the house in a timely manner and despite this Karalee and the house manager were patient in walking us through how to check in in spite of the late hour. I would happily return to stay!

We are 2 couples in our 70s, spent 10 days here in Feb '25. The house and grounds were precisely as pictured and advertised. Kitchen is modern with everything we needed. We had a great time and would certainly recommend it to all. Be sure to check out Taco Star, right at the nearby beach. Several other good restaurants in the area as well. Did have a couple minor issues at check-in, but they were dealt with quickly. Communication with host; before, during and after stay were prompt and courteous.
Host Response
Thank you for staying with us. We'd love to host you again. We appreciate your communication and taking care of our home as your own. Hope to see you soon.

This house is a dream home and the right place to enjoy your stay in Costa Rica . We woke up to monkeys howling and dozens of different birds every morning . The host Karalee is both accommodating and quickly responsive. It was easy to be in contact with her. She kept us updated on any neighborhood happenings, and helped with recommendations on what to do and where to go . Large windows with the ability to see the beautiful scenery outside, a fully operating kitchen with a lot of seating space, the pool is large and clean, and the bedrooms have plenty of space. This is a small safe beach town with a 10 minute walk to food and beach. The experience at this house and with Karalee was top tier. Pura Vida !
