Casa Veranera - Secure house with pool near beach - Houses for Rent in Playa Grande, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Bruce’s house is a gem in Playa Grande, Guanacaste. Fully equipped and in a prime location, within walking distance to the beach — perfect for both kids and adults, without having to deal with all the foot traffic of a beachfront property. The house is spotless, with a beautiful garden and an amazing pool. It also has a great security system, which gives guests real peace of mind. Communication with Bruce was smooth and effortless — he was always attentive to our questions and replied super quickly. This is the kind of find you can’t wait to come back to.

Bruce's place is a very nice place and its location is fantastic.  Close to the beach and all the restaurants.  He is also a very responsive host.

Great place, great location and great host. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend.

Very nice house to go with family and friends. Very close to the beach and restaurants. I definitely would recommend this place to stay.

Great Stay, the property was amazing and the host was very responsive and helpful, we would definitely recommend it and visit back!

Great place for a relaxing, low key beach vacation. The home is so spacious and comfortable with everything you need. Walking distance to the beach and some great places to eat, get coffee and drinks, and just chill. Bruce and Dana were amazing hosts; great communication, clear and simple check in/check out, and lots of local recommendations. Our family would absolutely love to stay again on our next visit to Costa Rica!

Very relaxing location, close to beach, local restaurants and café's.  We were 6 adults and house is spacious with large open kitchen. Large patio in front where we had our breakfast and dinners. Great pool area, perfect to spend time away from the beach. 
Beach is walking distance, couple of minutes which is perfect. It was never crowded the week that we were there and sunset are spectacular. 
FYI-A bit dusty this time of year due to winds from the bay. 

Bruce is perfect host always responsive when we had questions. He even came to replace our defective coffee maker with a brand new one. 
We highly recommend this house for your future family vacation in Playa Grande area.

The house was perfect for our last minute stay of three nights! We loved everything about it. Bruce responded immediately and connected us with his local house manager, Kimberly. Kimberly was amazing and helped us with transportation arrangements and other recommendations. She also cooked a wonderful, delicious dinner at the house for us one night. The pool was spectacular and the walk to the beach was 5 minutes or less. You have to experience the sunsets on the beach! Incredible! People in the area were friendly and helpful. We wish our vacation would have been longer here and would love to stay at this house again! Thank you!!

We loved our stay!  The pool for my grandsons was a highlight for them!  Having a 6 minute walk to the amazing beach could not be beat!   Lots of great restaurants within walking distance.  The house was comfortable and the A/C was a must!  Any questions were answered promptly and Kimberly was very helpful.  Would definitely stay here again!

We were there at the end of winter, so many restaurants and stores close to the house were upgrading or under construction. What was open was great. 5-7 minute easy walk to the beach. Having the pool at the house was great. The towns we visited were within a 45 minute drive. Kimberly and her husband were the managers and took care of any needs we had. They cooked for us 1 night and it was worth the extra money. Beds were comfortable. We had 6 people and there was room for 9.

Great option for family vacation, the house is beautiful, very clean and very close to the beach

Excelente opcion para vacacionar en familia, la casa es preciosa, muy limpia y muy cerca de la playa

Great location, great house. We had a great time with the whole family

This house is ideally located for all you want to do in the playa grande area. The house is much larger in person and is SO comfortable! The upper and lower outdoor space is well shaded during the day making it perfect for relaxing. The kitchen was one of the best we have had in this area (yearly visitors). The cookery was descent and there is a gas stove and dishwasher. Bruce was responsive and flexible with our checkin and checkout. There really is nothing to fault here. We LOVED it!

Bruce’s staff were very attentive and even cooked us a delicious meal! Always respond def to questions quickly! The location of this home could not be better!!! Steps to the beach and restaurants! Pool was so clean and my kids never wanted to get out! We will definitely be back to Playa Grande and hopefully stay here at Bruce’s beautiful home again!

We had a wonderful time! Spent lots of time in the pool with the grandkids when they came over. Super relaxing and great location to walk to the beach or restaurants! Would def come back for another stay!

This is a wonderful home that is a two minute walk from the main break at Playa Grande. Can’t wait to come back!

The place was wonderful!  It had everything I needed during my stay. So close to the beach, great options for food close by and the pool was just what my family and I needed after a long day of sightseeing.  I would definitely come back, in the future, if I am in the Guanacaste area.

Excellent place, super nice house, the pool, all very very nice, all very clean, recommended

Excelente lugar, súper linda la casa, la piscina, todo muy muy bonito, todo muy limpio, recomendado

Very clean and spacious place. Near the beach and safe, quiet. Full kitchen.

Endroit très propre et spacieux. Près de la plage et sécuritaire, calme. Cuisine complète.

This house is awesome. Playa grande is hands down the nicest beach I’ve ever seen. It’s clean (literally did not see any trash), it’s endless (you can walk for miles), and the waves were amazing every single day. The house is a couple short blocks from this paradise, but has a beautiful, clean, pool and pool deck that is shaded some of the day and full sun for others. The porches are also amazing, offering some shade, a hammock, a place to gather and eat. Inside, the house is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen and dining table are large and accommodating to groups. The kitchen has everything you could need. A side note about those who haven’t travelled to costa rica or this area. This area is not as touristy as others that I saw, but the only people who there are tourists. I thought that the area would be just a small town that would exist without tourists, and that’s not true (expect to pay US prices). But I’d still go back. This was paradise.

This is a lovely large home within walking distance of a surfing beach.   The pool can be used for swimming or you can drive to Tamarindo. There are a few restaurants within walking distance.

Very nice place to stay near the beach. Surely recommended.

Excellent for relaxing with the family and having a great time

Excelente para relajarse en familia y pasarla genial

Everything you could ask for. Clean and spacious house a short walk to the beach. Enjoyed our month staying there with family and friends. Highly recommend!

Great location and condo close to everything. The unit itself has everything you need to be comfortable and to prepare meals. The views were very nice as well. Bruce and Fabian were very responsive and communicated well any time we had a question or need. Five stars....highly recommended.

Wonderful location. Beautiful home and pool area. Porch and balcony great for relaxing. Huge master bedroom and bath!  Close to restaurants and surf shop

Thanks Laura!  We are glad you enjoyed your stay!!!

Great house. Walking distance to the beach and near other beaches in the area.

Thank You Nohelia.  You are always welcome at Casa Veranera!

We had a great stay. Close to the beach and very comfortable in the house.

Beautiful house just steps from the beach! We will be back soon!

Hi James, Thanks for staying with us at Casa Veranera! We look forward to hosting you again sometime!

Fantastic spot. Easy, simple, safe, and clean. My family did not want to leave. Everything worked and was convenient to everything and everywhere we wanted to go. Definitely recommend hiring Kimberly to cook for you!!! Worth every bit!!!

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house! The only complaint I have is that I cannot stay here forever!! Great home, great hosts, great pool guy and great housekeeping. Everyone was friendly, cooperative and professional.

Thank You Christine! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you back!

Amazing Home and host and team are amazing, great communication and services overall !! Looking forward to come back and enjoy this beautiful home and location.

Thank you Omar! we look forward to hosting you again at Casa Veranera!

Beautiful house, very comfortable. Excellent and location

Casa preciosa, muy cómoda. Excelente i ubicación

Gracias Maria! Esperamos su próxima visita!

Our stay was wonderful. We will definitely come back. The house is fantastic, close to the beach, very quiet around, very private and equipped with everything you need. Kimberly is very kind. The price of the stay is ok.

Thank You Christopher! We looking forward to you r next visit!

Amazing stay! I mean if you want to come to Costa Rica and get an amazing experience. This is it. They had a lovely lady come get grocery’s, cook, and clean for us. All while laying by our private pool. Best part of my trip…… so far

Casa Veranera is very well-located within walking distance to Playa Grande.  If you stay a short-time, you probably don't need a vehicle to get around, but a bike would be helpful.  Grab some delicious poke at RipJack Inn and watch beautiful sunset on Playa Grande (about 5 min walk).  It's about 25 minutes by car to Tamarindo, so getting a taxi or driver is good for excursions outside of Playa Grande.  We stayed for at least a month, so we rented a car and it allowed us to explore many other great beach towns and restaurants e.g. Lola's in Playa Avellanas, Villa Deveena in Playa Negra, Tamarindo nightlife/shopping/Farmer's market (e.g. Red Door, Pangas, El Be, Patagonia),  Gracia Mar Vista, Patagonia restaurant in Brasilito, El Mangroove in Gulf of Papagayo.  Bruce is a wonderful host and either his local team or he will respond very quickly with any questions or issues.  We worked remotely during that time, so fast speed internet was not a problem.  The kids loved the pool and the beautiful mix of florals and fruit trees around the property brought lots of butterflies and birds.  Playa Grande is definitely more remote, but we loved that; and when we wanted lively, we would drive into Tamarindo.  We got a mix of dry and rainy season (the latter is actually very nice too e.g. less crowds, rains mostly at night or for a bit during the afternoon).

Great location, only a 2 minute walk to the beach. A few local restaurants and surf shops within walking distance as well.

Stayed a week. Incredible house and location! Highly recommend.

Bruce's place was everything that we had imagined and more. Great communication throughout our stay (which is a priority for me), good sized and clean pool, steps away from the beach and some very good restaurants. All the essential amenities if you decide to cook your own food. We had a great time there and would definitely book this house again if we decide to come back to this area.

I loved the house! Its location is very good, easy to reach, close to supermarkets and very close to the beach. It is very spacious, fully equipped, ideal for enjoying the holidays without problems. Dana is very attentive, she is always attentive to any need you have, she has a lot of communication and great service.

¡La casa me encantó! Su ubicación es muy buena, fácil de llegar, cerca de supermercados y muy cerca de la playa. Es muy amplia, está totalmente equipada, ideal para disfrutar de las vacaciones sin contratiempos. Dana es muy atenta, siempre está pendiente de cualquier necesidad que se tenga, tiene mucha comunicación y un servicio genial.

Beautiful place . Comfortable and easy access to the beach. Very friendly hosts. We had a beautiful stay. Ana Lauren

Hermoso lugar . Cómodo y fácil acceso a la playa. Los anfitriones muy amables. Pasamos una hermosa estancia. Ana Lauren

It is a beautiful house, it is close to the beach and has everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Great place 🙌🏾 to share near the beach

Excelente alojamiento 🙌🏾 para compartir cerca de la playa

A dream house ready to meet every need in vacation time, close to beautiful beaches, supermarket, shops, but above all a very quiet, safe place that leaves you wanting to extend your stay or return as soon as possible. Dana and her working group took care of us professionally and always on time! The best vacation days in a long time!

Una casa de ensueño lista para cumplir cada necesidad en tiempo de vacaciones, cerca de hermosas playas, supermercado, tiendas, pero sobre todo un lugar muy tranquilo, seguro y que te deja con ganas de extender tu estadía o volver lo antes posible. Dana y su grupo de trabajo nos atendieron de u a manera profesional y siempre a tiempo! Los mejores días de vacaciones en mucho tiempo!

Dana and her local contacts were very responsive and accommodating.  The house is fantastic.  Our family loved the house and pool.  It is safe, close to the beach and restaurants, and has a lot of charm.  Thanks Dana

My family’s (3 generations of eight) favorite family retreat ever. Wonderful location just off protected Playa Grande (for 4 species of turtles, including the endangered Leatherback). Wonderful lodge with incredible 2nd floor master suite, two very nice bedrooms on the 1st floor and spacious and appointed great room providing living, dining and kitchen spaces. The outdoor living spaces, porches and pool and deck, are incredibly inviting and functional. We spent a lot of time on the porches, including dining outside, and in and around the pool. Air conditioning and security were perfect. The beach and surf are fantastic, nice for hanging out, swimming and surfing. Very nice restaurants/bars in the area. Nice grocery store. Sunsets on the beach were literally celebrations every night. We had such a great time at Dana’s place we never even made it into Tamarindo. Great birding. Unlimited walking. Remarkably quiet area. The lodge was perfect for our infant and toddler. We will be back, for Playa Grande, and just as importantly, for Dana’s wonderful family lodge.

We loved our stay at Dana's place.  it is bigger and nicer than the pictures represent.  such a beautiful private spot with a short walk to the beach.  we walked every morning for fresh bagels down the street and had some great meals all within walking distance.  there is a lovely private dining area where we had a local chef cook some of our best meals.  would highly recommend this place!

Beautiful house, large and very comfortable, clean, with all the basic amenities. A/C and fans are appreciated. Ideal for families.

Hermosa casa, grande y muy cómoda, limpia, con todos los servicios básicos. Se agradece el aire acondicionado y los ventiladores. Ideal para ir en familia.

A gorgeous two story house with easy and close access to the beach. Stocked kitchen. Comfy beds. Plenty of space to relax.

Grea place. Far exceeded our expectations!  We will be back very soon.  Thank you Dana for your gracious hospitality.

Highly recommended. House is beautiful, clean, safe, and fully equipped. Definetely exceeded our expectations. Host was caring, attentive and always available, we will surely return. Thanks for everything.

Amazing!!. Dana's house is great, roomy, has a huge kitchen, nice swimming pool, very well equipped, 5 minutes walk to a beautiful beach, very safe. I regret that we didn't stay longer. Next year I will come back to this beautiful house. I have nothing bad to say about this place.

Very comfortable house, with all the first-class amenities, close to the beach (very nice), a few minutes from other beaches, although we did not meet the host, she was attentive that everything was fine, far above expectations 

Casa muy confortable, con todos los servicios de primera, cerca de la playa (muy bonita), a pocos minutos de otras playas, aunque no conocimos a la anfitriona, estuvo atenta de que todo estuviera bien, muy arriba de de las expectativas 

We surprised our family with a stay at Casa Veranera for a 50th anniversary celebration!  Not only was this home in the perfect location being about 2 blocks from the most beautiful beach in the area, it had the perfect and spacious layout to allow a large group of us plenty of space for everyone to experience R&R at their own pace.  We thoroughly enjoyed the various cozy areas to lounge about on the porches and in the pool area and there was plenty of seating for sharing meals as well as comfortable couches and rockers for a family movie night!  This home had a well-stocked and beautiful kitchen with new appliances, including a gas stove.  The laundry room also featured a new washer and dryer.  One of our favorite things was how clean this home was!  We felt very safe with the alarm system, security gate and large safe available for our use.  Dana was an excellent communicator and provided the perfect amount of information for us to know how to best experience the area.  The property manager, Marianela, was amazing and so helpful!  During our 9-day stay we enjoyed numerous birds, crabs and a neigborhood coati who visited us on the front porch 3 times!  We also saw a family of howler monkeys with the cutest baby in their midst just a few blocks away from the house.   If and when we return to Costa Rica, we look forward to staying here again.  We truly felt like we were at home from the moment we arrived!

We were a group of 8 friends who stayed at the villa and are very satisfied with our stay. The villa is beautiful, located close to the beach, and includes all you need. We went to surf every day on Playa Grande and the villa is close to surf shops and restaurants.

Thank you, sorry there should have been 2 tanks... I will call out maintenance guy Randy and have him get one more. Glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise!

We stayed at Dana's home for 1 week with 5 people. The house was very large, comfortable and clean. The home is about a 5 minute walk to the beach where you can find a great restaurant, places to book adventure tours and surf lessons. We rented a car for our stay which we found was very necessary in order to get to all the grocery stores as well as to get to Tamarindo which is about a 30min drive. Dana was very quick to respond when we had an issue with the dishwasher which was not usable due to it flooding.  The rooms were all fairly large and you have all the kitchen supplies you need to cook a good meal. We had a cleaning lady come in mid week to tidy up the house. Overall we had a great stay!

My family would like to thank you Dana for allowing us to use your summer home. I wanted to give you some constructive feedback that might improve future guest experience. To begin with, im sure you have already aware that your home is very attractive and conmfortable. I wanted to inform you some problems we encountered in our stay. 1. The Refrigerator. At first glance eveything seemed to be functioning as expected. The following mourning, we noted that both the refrigerator and the freezing werent cooling at all. We called Marianela, and she sent a repairman the following day. The thecnician found several maintenance problems with the refrigerator and had to thoroughly clean the entire motor. He recharged the FREUNT tank, and after his visit the refrigerator improved. We waited until the following day, but the icemaker was still broken. For the duration of our stay, we had to   purchade ice from the local market. Marianela brought us ice too. 2. The swimming pool.  The filter was functioned us expected until 9 pm on the day of our arrival. The following day, the maintenance man told us that the filter operated automatically every 24 hours. We told him that the filter had not been functioned since the night before and he inspected the  pump and told us that he had repaired it. Neverethless we noted that the motor still was not operating the following day. Another repairman came to visit and told us that the automatic timer was not working. He adviced us to connect the pump every six hours until he could obtain repair parts. We continued to do this until the day of our departure. 3. The dishwasher. This appliance never worked. When we tried to use it, the kitchen and dinning room flooded. We have to clean up the mess since we were expecting guest that afternoon. A repairman arrived to investigate, but we did not tried to use it again for fear of causing another flood. I cant tell you wether it is operational or not. Yours truly, Cesar Molina and family.

Hello Mr. Molina, I am glad you were able to enjoy your stay even though we ran into some issues. 1. Refrigerator: The repairman told our property manager he had asked you to let him know if within next 2 hours after he left if the icemaker won't make any ice , unfortunatelly you did not let the manager know until next day and we were not able to get the repairman for couple days to fix the issue. I am glad Marianela was a help and provided you daily with ice until the ice maker was repaired. 2. Pool timer: Sorry for the incovenince of manualy turning on the pool pump. Unfotunatelly it was the Holly week and all pool supplies stores were closed till following Monday. The timer is fixed now and running. 3. Diswasher: The repairman confimred that the diswasher was functioning on the day he came to repair it, he ran it while he was there. This is the first time I am hearing that you did not use it after the repair. I have e-mailed you and asked if everything is working now and you said: Yes, thank you. I have also provided you with extra house cleaning during your stay to help with any clean up the dishwasher caused and as appreciation for you working with us while we were fixing any issues that occured during your stay. 4. Amenities: I know you asked about daily cleaning but we are a rental house and we provide cleaning prior to your stay and after your check out, as well as mid stay for 7 days or longer stays. I did offer you daily cleaning for an extra fee. Did not hear any other remakrs about amenities of the house prior or during your stay. 5. Check in: We have communicated via e-mail many times prior to your arrival and I have asked you if you have any questions. I do provide detailed directions to guest if they ask for them. 6. Cleanliness: As I explained in the feedback to your review I did provide extra cleaning to address the leaking dishwasher. 7. Communication: As I can see on my Airbnb inbox as well direct e-mail I always replied to your e-mails within minutes so not sure why the feedback of " host unreacheable ". Thank you for sharing your thoughts. As you can see on previous review of the clients staying in the house right prior to your stay they did not have any of these issues and it was not something we could have prevented and we did get everything fixed or working in timely manner. Sincerely, Dana

Great house, very spacious, clean, and safe. The pool is wonderful, and it is only a block from the beach!

House has plenty of towels to use and very conveniently located to a beach. It is about 15-20 minute drive ($30 cab) to Tamborino which we thought was closer but was our fault.

Dana place is a must stay home if your are traveling with family or want a nice quite place with friends. It is super kids freindly and only a 5 minute walk to the beach. But also its location makes it easy to access all the beaches in the area with ease. Wake up early and go for a walk on the beach and if your lucky you might see turtles hatching! The pool makes a great addition if you just want to stay in the house and relax which you could do all day with A/C, 2 big sofas and 2 really confortable lazy boy chairs. Want to cook? The kitchen has everything you need to cook for an army or people. and If you don't feel like eat there are great restaurants near by. It is great value money and a great place to stay. Highly Recommend! Thank you Dana for share your home with us!

Glad you have enjoyed your stay! Come back anytime we would love to have you back!

Amazing house and great location just a short walk to the beach. Several great food options nearby and even a place or two with live music in the vicinity. Plenty of space and amazing porches with hammocks and chairs. Pool was refreshing and very clean with an outdoor shower for post beach rinse off. Plenty of space in the house with a great kitchen and plenty of beds. Not much could be better for a family get away.

Great house, perfect location and wonderful host.

It was too good ... strategic location... 20 min drive to the best beaches  ( Conchal , Flamingo, Tamarindo ) ... the house is super spacious and comfortable!!! With all the necessary equipment to be super comfortable !!!

Estuvo demasiado bueno ... ubicación estratégica... a 20 min en auto de las mejores playas  ( Conchal , Flamingo, Tamarindo ) ... la casa super espaciosa y cómoda!!! Con todo el equipo necesario para estar super cómodos !!!

The pool is really the perfect complement to this house as the beach is two blocks away. This allowed us to spend the day refreshing in the water without having to be on the beach all day as it is a national park there are no shadows in it. However, we spent most of the afternoon facing the sea enjoying the place until sunset, which was spectacular.

La piscina es realmente el complemento perfecto para esta casa ya que la playa está a dos cuadras. Esto nos permitió pasar el día refrescándonos en el agua sin tener que estar en la playa todo el día ya que por ser parque nacional no hay sombras en ella. Sin embargo pasamos la mayor parte de la tarde frente al mar disfrutando del lugar hasta que llegaba el atardecer que fueron espectaculares.

Excelente! This place is amazing! We are definitely coming back for a longer stay. Pura vida!

We spent 17 days at Casa Veranera, it is a beautiful house just meters from the beach, it is very well maintained and well equipped. The spaces are spacious and have a beautiful pool. The only big problem is the water, which given the drought affecting the area does not reach the house and you have to live with a reserve tank which is filled by a tanker truck. I hope to have this resolved soon as it affects the daily life of a family in the house. Dana was very nice and attentive and I try to always resolve our issues regarding this issue. I hope to go back to the big beach, it's definitely a great place.

Estuvimos 17 dias en Casa Veranera, es una casa hermosa a solo metros de la playa, esta muy bien mantenida y bien equipada. Los espacios son amplios y tiene una hermosa piscina. El único problema grande es el agua, que dada la sequía que afecta a la zona no llega a la casa y hay que vivir con un tanque de reserva el cual es llenado por un camión cisterna. Espero se solucione pronto este tema ya que afecta el diario vivir de una familia en la casa. Dana fue muy amable y atenta y trato de resolver siempre nuestros problemas con respecto a este tema. Espero volver a playa grande, sin duda es un lugar magnifico.

Thank you Carolina! I really appreciate your understanding and cooperation while we were resolving the water problem. The new feeder tank and pump are now in full effect and we have water coming in to the house daily, no need for water truck anymore. We look forward to having you and your family back! Gracias!

The home was as expected and was very spacious for the 6 of us staying there. We woke up to the howling monkeys 4 out of the 7 days which was a lifetime experience for our family. The monkeys could viewed right from our own patio. For the warm temperatures the house A/C worked amazing and made a huge difference. The host provided a crib for our daughter which was a great convenience and the property manager helped make some arrangements for a cook to come to our home during our stay, which was a real luxury and highlight of the stay. Plenty of clean towels for the beach and showering. The home is gated and we felt very safe in Casa Veranera.   Our host was bit late in greeting the first arrived party due to a small communication error, but they were easily reached and made a great effort to get there very quickly. This was very appreciated.  Playa Grande is a cute surfer town that was quite busy during the week prior to Easter. A nice restaurant/bar nearby and a beach taco stand down the street.   Of Note: This area is clearly suffering from a horrible drought in Costa Rica. There was a fire across the street that knocked out the cable/wi-fi in the home and filled the pool with ash and sediment, which in turn caused a huge influx in hornets and bees. This caused a bit of disappointment, but we were glad that there was not significant damage or issue.   Overall, we had a memorable trip, but we would choose a different time of year to visit this area of Costa Rica.

Amazing place! This is one of our favorite stays from many, many trips. The private pool and gated property were perfect for our kids, and us. Interior is really nicely done and huge. Lots of space and quality. Caretakers were very friendly and helpful on our arrival and during our stay. Great beach tacos and surf rental a block away too. Highly recommended!

Not welcoming at all. The property manager was close to three hrs late. I gave her an hour window when I would arrive but texted her when we arrived. We went to a shop down the street. after we waited another hour We went to a restaurant to wait for a call and it came in another hour!!  She showed us around nicely then left.

Linda, I am very sorry about the miscommunication at check in, we have new property manager who started working for us this month. We have addressed the issue with her to assure this won't happened in the future.

The house is very nice and spacious, an excellent place near other beaches and the pool is very good, we spent three excellent days in that place, the only bad thing is that you have to be careful if you leave with a low car since the bumper sticks with the floor when entering and leaving the house :( , but otherwise everything is fine

La casa es muy linda y espaciosa, un lugar excelente cerca de otras playas y la piscina muy bien, pasamos tres excelentes días en ese lugar, lo único malo es que hay que tener cuidado si se va con un automóvil bajo ya que el bumper pega con el suelo cuando se entra y sale de la casa :( , pero por lo demás todo bien

Hola Gueorgui,  Lo siento mucho por su carro. He hablado con Alyssa y la protuberancia tiene que quedarse allí por la puerta pero podemos bajarla. Esperemos que esto evitará que los carros de Beng dañado . Gracias por tus comentarios y me alegro de que había disfrutado de su estancia lo contrario.  Un Saludo Cordial,  Dana   Our guest mentioned that his bumper got damaged due to the bump in the driveway. The bump has to stay there due to the electric gate being secure but we had it lowered to prevent low cars from being scrachted.

Such an amazing place! So much space and walking distance to the beach. There are lots of treetop restaurants nearby without the resort feel. I would definitely want to stay here again! Thank you Dana for sharing your fabulous place.

The house is super comfortable and is an excellent place to enjoy with family and friends.  All sections of the house are very spacious and  fully equipped. The pool is the best area to enjoy the sun and  the nature around the property. Playa Grande is a beautiful, quiet and  peaceful place with easy access to supermarkets. My friends and I had a great time. Thank you for having us so well and making us feel in our house. We want to come back.
