2BR house in Playa Grande

CASA LINDA VISTA, PLAYA GRANDE - Houses for Rent in Playa Grande, Costa Rica

The beach was fantastic. The house was great, but very windy inside because of all net instead of glas. Kai is very helpsam and is a great host!

Thank you for your input. During your stay the entire area was experiencing a major high wind storm advisory. An act of God! Something completely out of my control. However, during the dry months from November to May windy conditions are normal. Those days the first week of February were greatly exaggerated. All is back to normal and all good at Casa Linda Vista, Playa Grande.

Great house! We love the open and airy feeling. The sunrises and sunsets are amazing here. The property is secure and beach /town are an easy walk. I travel to CR several times a year and will definitely be back when in the area.

Beautiful house, clean and well located. Walking distance to super restaurants and a beautiful beach

Belle maison, propre et bien située. À distance de marche de super restos et d’une magnifique plage

The place is beautiful, and Craig was there the whole time. However, almost no water came out of the showers, the sheets and towels were very old, as was the bedding. There were no cleaning supplies, and the staircase was dangerous, as a step broke when one of my children was going down. It was really dangerous. When we told Craig, he got mad at us, told us he had that ladder for 30 years and it had never broken. He didn't ask if anyone had been hurt. He just got angry and the next day he came to fix it.  That attitude really caught our attention.  The house is very nice, the place too, but it needs maintenance and the linens (towels and sheets need a good update).  I asked for a hair dryer, and he told me to dry my hair with the wind, which was not within the specifications of the house.  Then Craig apologized and we didn't leave early. It's a shame we can't recommend it, but that was our experience.

El lugar es hermoso, y Craig estuvo todo el tiempo presente. Sin embargo, de las duchas casi no salía agua,  las sabanas y las toallas eran viejiisimas, lo mismo que lo salcochados de las camas. No tenia elementos de limpieza, y la escalera era peligrosa, ya que se rompió un escalón cuando uno de mis hijos estaba bajando. Era realmente peligrosa. Cuando le avisamos a Craig, se enojo con nosotros, nos dijo que tenia 30 a'os esa escalera y que jamas se habia roto. No nos pregunto si alguien se habia lastimado. Solo se enojo y al dia siguiente vino a arreglarla.  Nos llamo mucho la atencion esa actitud.  La casa es muy linda, el lugar tambien, pero necesita mantenimiento y la blanqueria(toallas y sabanas una buena actualizacion).  Pedi un secador de pelo, y me diio que me seque el pelo con el viento, que no estaba dentro de las especificaciones de la casa.  Luego, Craig pidió disculpas y no nos fuimos antes. Es una lastima, que no lo podamos recomendar , pero esa fue nuestra experiencia.

I am not in the habit of writing reviews of past guests. In this case I felt the need to defend myself. I wish I had taken the advice from the other hosts reviews on Roseanna prior to accepting her reservation. After over 30 + years and thousands of great guests passing through the 3 houses at Casa Linda Vista, Playa Grande. She is one of a very few people I would avoid. Incredibly within hours, she starting looking for what she thought was missing from the house making demands. She was exceptionally upset there was no hair dry. All these requested items are not offered amenities at the property as per the listings. We work very hard accommodating or guests. All 3 houses at Casa Linda Vista. Playa Grande and the 3 acre grounds are very well maintained and clean. Hundreds of prior reviews will reflect that. The beds and mattresses are all brand new. Along with the bedding and pillows. The towels are constantly being replaced as needed. Her statement of them being VERY old just in not true. The shower nozzle in the upstairs shower was clogged and has been replaced. There is plenty of water pressure. I can’t explain how the sturdy stair on the stair case got broken?? It is a wooden staircase built with from Costa Rican Hard Woods. It was repaired the first thing the following morning. Instead of spending her vacation time criticizing, critiquing and expressing her disapproval. Maybe, take a walk on the beach, take a yoga class, watch the sunset or just relax and enjoy the gardens, grounds wild life at Casa Linda Vista. For that unfortunately,, I cannot recommend Roseanna. Sorry, but that was my experience. Just remember I told you so. It’s all good at Casa Linda Vista, Playa Grande.

Great stay! Beautiful, spacious home, easily walkable to town and beaches, with easy parking if you drive. Kai is a perfect host! available quickly, helpful, proactive and unobtrusive. He went out of his way to help me deal with a flat tire. Laidback, friendly town. We were there in an unusually hot time and it was pretty uncomfortable during the waking hours, even with fans on. But was ok at night, definitely a great value, and probably more comfortable at cooler times of year.

My family of 5 had an amazing stay at Kai’s place in Playa Grande. This place has walkable beach access and is close to restaurants. The space had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

Perfect week in craig’s place! Quick access to the beach and very clean place! Would definitely go back

Craig reached out before we arrived and provided helpful information about check in. He was flexible and met us when we arrived. He reached out along the way and followed up if there was anything we were missing. Craig was nice, easy to deal with and simply a perfect host!

Craig tok kontakt før vi kom og ga nyttig informasjon om innsjekking. Han var fleksibel og møtte oss når vi kom. Han tok kontakt underveis og fulgte opp om det var noe vi manglet. Craig var hyggelig, enkel å ha med å gjøre og rett og slett en perfekt vert!

Thank you so much to host Kai. The interior is spacious, the estate is private and very intimate. You can hear a howler monkey in the morning and several birds. January was warm but not humid and even if there was no air conditioning, in the evening being cooler we slept well. Walking distance to sunset. Great place to relax, surf, a few small restaurants and cafes nearby that are very interesting. It takes a means of transport because it's a little far from Tamarindo, activities. The traffic has nothing to do with Tamarindo, Playa Grande is definitely a peaceful place. We are pleased with our stay here!

Merci beaucoup à l’hôte Kai. L’intérieur est spacieux, le domaine est privé et très intime. On entend un singe hurleur le matin et plusieurs oiseaux. Le mois de janvier a été chaud mais pas humide et même s’il n’y avait pas d’air climatisé, le soir étant plus frais on dormait bien. Place à distance de marche avec un coucher de soleil à couper le souffle. Endroit idéal pour relaxer, faire du surf, quelques petits restaurants et cafés à proximité qui sont très intéressants. Ça prend un moyen de transport car un peu loin de Tamarindo, des activités. L’achalandage n’a rien à voir avec Tamarindo, Playa Grande est définitivement un endroit paisible. Nous sommes satisfaits de notre séjour à cet endroit!

What an amazing place this was. The drive in to the property is magical. The house feels like a treehouse surrounded by nature and beautiful views. We walked to the beach every morning. Craig was a great host, helpful and kind. Highly recommend staying here.

Thanks Obed for your very kind review.  I glad you enjoyed yourselves. i have worked hard, all these years, to have a nice place. It make me happy when people truly enjoy. Thanks for coming here! Your friend, Craig

The house is very well located. Despite the lack of air conditioning, there is good air circulation in the bedrooms. Very close to the beach. The house is as described! Don't miss the restaurant El Huerto just a few minutes from the house.

La maison est très bien située. Malgré l’absence de climatisation, il y a une bonne circulation d’air dans les chambres. Très près de la plage. La maison est fidèle à la description! Me manquez surtout pas le restaurant El Huerto à quelques minutes de la maison.

The place is really nice.  If you are sensitive to sound, this might not be the right place for you.  There is no AC so you have to keep windows open and between monkeys and dogs barking it was really loud at night.  The host is amazing, the place is really nice and it is really walkable to the beach.

This is a great spot for surfers or a guys trip. Kai was a great host. Sunsets were epic and the walk to the beach was nice. It was not quiet, there are at least 4 houses being built around the property from 6:30am to 7pm every day and no way to dampen the sound because the windows are mostly screens. Unfortunately the stovetop in the kitchen took over an hour to get to low heat so we bought a lot of food we could not cook. You will see (and hear) plenty of howler monkeys around the property. The house cools down just fine with the fans and we slept great!

It's a nice pretty private place. However, the kitchen is a bit slow and access to the beach on foot is a bit complicated.

Es un buen lugar bastante privado. Sin embargo la cocina es un poco lenta y el acceso a la playa caminando es un poco complicado.

Great place in nature! Nice house. A 4x4 is a must to get up the hill and through the road to Casa Linda Vista. There is a family of monkeys on the property, which is very cool. Access to the beach is a short walk away, market, surf shop and restaurants not far either. We loved our stay and we definitely recommend Kai’s place.

Very nice! The view was beautiful, quite like and spacious, everything amazing!

Muy bonito! la vista estaba hermosa, bastante como y espacioso, todo increíble!

Kai’s place it’s a truly paradise! Waze lead us to a wrong house but we found someone who gave us directions to get there, Kai was very nice from the time we arrived until the last minute we stayed in his property. We stayed here only 2 nights. The house was perfect for the 8 of us, it has huge windows so you can admire the beautiful different trees and gardens, the view it’s even better from the second floor. The only issue was the stovetop, the heat it’s not too strong and took a long time to prepare our breakfast.

Great place to stay for a rustic retreat, close to the beach and great surf break. We loved waking up with the sunrise and noises from the monkeys and birds! Short walk or ride to the beach and to a few restaurants. 30 mins drive to Tamarindo for more action. 🤙Pura Vida!

The house is really nice and super close to Playa Grande beach, by car or walking. Great place if you are visiting with friends and/or family. The communication with Kai was excellent.

Kai was a great host. We ended up getting a flat tire and he followed us to help get it fixed. Great communication and very helpful.

Very cool place.  You're in the canopy of the jungle and the early morning sounds can be amazing.  Note that this is an open air place...it can get a bit warm but we were comfortable with it, and feeling the breeze flow through the screens is part of the charm.  It's a big property with a few cabins and Kai lives in one of them on the opposite end of the land.  He has owned the place for decades and was very welcoming and helpful.  If you're looking for pura vida, you've found it here.

Very good and beautiful place to stay, highly recommended.

Big, rustic, and lovely house on a hill a short walk from the beach. Kai is a great host and very easy to communicate with.

Great location in quite spot that is walking distance from beach. Cool to see local howler monkeys outside our place. Great food nearby and beach views from the patio!

My friends & I loved staying at casa Linda. It was very close to the beach, had its own private trail, the view from the balcony was amazing. Kai was very nice and helpful - we locked ourselves out one night and he came over immediately to help us get back in. We would totally stay here again.

Set on a hilltop just over Playa Grande, Kai’s house is the perfect surf house. Surrounded by howler monkeys, friendly cats, and beautiful sunsets—this is a great spot with a super friendly host.

Amazing stay. The territory is beautiful and full of wildlife. We saw monkeys, caterpillars, iguanas and a few house cats :) The house is very well designed. Two floors with windows all around. During the night you can hear the ocean. The house was clean with all essentials. Even though there is no air conditioning, the fans do the job. During the night it cools down (we visited mid November). The property is 10 minute walk from the beach, which is also a National Park. The beach is very private, good for surfing and watching the most beautiful sunsets.

What a wonderful spot. We were expecting a more typical resort setting. This is not that. - and that’s a good thing. You’re really in the canopy in a beautifully designed home with real simplicity and elegance.  Very connected to nature in a clean safe tropical bungalow. Kai is super friendly too!

Casa Linda is so peaceful and stunningly beautiful. It is a close walk to the beach. The house itself is charming and the view of the ocean from the top floor is incredible. The kitchen is fully outfitted and Kai the host is super responsive and helpful! You will love staying here.

We had a great experience here. The house and surrounding area is beautiful, the location is perfect, and the price was unbeatable. Kai was also an amazing host.

Craig is a great host. The place is walking distance to the beach (bring bug spray). It's also about 10 mins from Playa Grande which is great for surfing. 30 mins from Tamarindo. if you're renting a car make sure you get a SUV and be careful, the road to make it to the airbnb is unpaved.

Kai's Casa Linda Vista is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet getaway! The directions to find the location were on point and easy to get to. The home offered a spacious kitchen and living area with a well stocked kitchen. We found ourselves spending more time upstairs enjoying the wonderful view and the sounds of nature. We witnessed many beautiful birds, reptiles and our favorite, the howler monkeys! Beach access was fast and simple to get to with beautiful rock formations fro exploring. If you're looking for a bit more shade, you can walk just a couple of hundred yards south and find some welcoming palm trees to sit under. I would recommend Casa Linda Vista 200% if you're planning a trip to Playa Grande!

The communication with Kai is great and the house was perfect

What a beautiful property! Our group stayed in all 3 of his rentals and enjoyed each home. Each was charmingly designed with beautiful landscaping. We loved sitting on the patios at night and watching the fire flies and other wildlife. It was a short 5 min walk to the beach and short drive to everything we wanted to see in the area. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Kai is an awesome and helpful host too!

Awesome place only 5 min walk to the beach!

This house was very nice, it has all the services as described, and also it has kitchen... the house is very fresh, so the air conditioning is not necessary it also has fans in every room. Everything is as described. The location is very  nice. The house has a little trail that guides you  to the beach. Just need to walk like 10 minutes. Thanks Kai.

The house is even more beautiful in person. It stands on a small hill surrounded by gorgeous palms and lush greenery. Inside we found the house to be clean, neat and incredibly charming. The fresh, warm air circulates through the home exquisitely. On our first night we experienced some bugs due to the rain from night before  - but our host Kai literally walked over with bug spray and offering us a refund if we wanted to leave. I will say that even with that little scare (bugs were not biting kind at all just some flying ants) we still decided to stay because of our hosts comforting attention to the issue. The bugs were gone by the morning and were not a disturbance at night (I just dislike bugs and felt overwhelmed). I wanted to note this detail not to complain, but to just express how great our host was even through my panic! Kai offered us recommendations to restaurants, a sunset boat ride, and would always message us to check in throughout our stay. A cleaning lady came and tidied up the place midweek through our stay which was very nice. Did I mention how beautiful the house is? This is a must stay. The beach is a short 10-15 walk, but can also drive to it. The views surrounding the house make you feel like you're in a paradise of your own. I would definitely stay here again. 10/10 recommend!

Kai was a great host.  And the house was perfect for my family of 5.  The location to the beach was great and the proximity to restaurants was also nice.  We did a day trip to Tamarindo, but we were happy to come back to Playa Grande!

Very nice and very spacious house. It has a path overlooking Playa Grande. It's also very close to other beaches. The house has the basic cooking equipment so you won't need anything. The view from the balcony is beautiful and in the mornings you are awakened by the sound of the monkeys. It can be reached in any vehicle. The internet in the house is not very stable. Overall, I recommend this house full for large families looking for a cozy place. And of course, Kai was always super attentive to help and made sure we were having a good time, he's a great host 🙌

Muy linda casa y muy espaciosa. Tiene un sendero que da hacia Playa Grande. Además, está muy cerca de otras playas. La casa tiene el equipo básico de cocina por lo que no te hará falta nada. La vista desde el balcón es lindisima y por las mañana te despierta el sonido de los monos. Se puede llegar en cualquier vehículo. El Internet de la casa no es muy estable. En general, recomiendo full esta casa para familias grandes que busquen un lugar acogedor. Y por supuesto, Kai siempre fue super atento a ayudar y se preocupaba porque estuviéramos pasándola bien, es un gran anfitrión 🙌

Very good location in terms of Playa Grande and a super private place... It has all the amenities you need and Kai is very attentive.

Muy buena ubicación en cuanto a playa Grande y un lugar súper privado... Tiene toda las comodidades que se requieren y Kai muy atento.

Our stay at Kai’s house was absolutely great. The house is stunning, the location quite unique with literally 5 minutes walk from the beach. Kai was a great host during our entire stay. We loved it ! If we had the time, we would have definitely extended our stay there !

Kai is an excellent host, we had an issue with a water heater and Kai had it replaced surprisingly fast and followed up with us throughout our stay to make sure we were good and if we needed anything. He checked in with fresh towels, TP, and came through in a pinch when we needed some other things. Our family of 6 had a great time, it is open air but we we were comfortable the whole time in January. It was an added bonus that Kai provided periodic cleaning from a maid. All in all the reviews are accurate, the walk to the beach was pleasant, there are lots of birds, monkeys and beautiful fauna. Take note about pre arranging your Covid tests well ahead of your departure. I would recommend a local clinic and not a home service. The surf in the afternoon near Kais place was great for beginners like us but we saw some pretty good surfers taking advantage of some bigger waves. Also Pots and Bowls nearby is a fantastic restaurant and a great place to pick up souvenirs. The roads are bumpy but i wouldn’t say a 4x4 is needed. we rented from Adobe and utilized mytanfeet for a discount.

Amazing!!!! Kai is a host that knows the area a d went above and beyond !!!

Kai is an amazing host. He is very friendly and responds quickly. In fact, he sends you the address of the house and welcomes you within minutes of making the reservation. The house is comfortable, cool and spacious! It fits 8 people perfectly! And also the view from the balcony is incredible! It has everything you need to spend a few days resting near the beach. The only thing is that if someone needs the Internet continuously or to work, the connection is not that good. Also, the path that connects the house with the beach is very complicated. I would say that it is impossible to use if someone is with small babies, elderly or if it rains. But if you are relatively young and adventurous, you will love walking to the beach. You can also get to the beach by car in 3 minutes.

We stayed at Kai's house for a week and loved it. Waking up to howler monkey's and a variety of birds was one of our highlights. The beach is a short walk from the house and a few restaurants along the way. Best pizza ever at the local pizzeria. Kai is a wonderful host. He was able to help me make a few local calls and kept my friend and I updated on what was around and ideas of things to do. We had a great vacation!

Wonderful place. 5 minutes walk to the beach where you could be alone.  Ideal for surfers. The morning you can see monkeys just in front of the house. Restaurants are at 2 minutes by car. The house is clean. If you like nature and tranquility go !

Beautiful house in a quaint little town, 2 minute walk to the beach.  Playa Grande is an amazing beach. Lots of great little restaurants in walking distance, and many animals to spot (including 2 sweet little cats and stop by occasionally)

Very good house!!! I should improve the way to the beach, but overall very good!!

Muy Buena Casa!!! Debería de mejorar el camino hacia la Playa, pero en general muy bueno!!

Great location and nice house! Beautiful place to see the sunset and enjoy the beautiful scenery.  Very open and spacious house and plenty of room for the whole family!

Kai is a wonderful host! His place is a peaceful and beautiful house, lovely wood floors and stone accents with gorgeous windows that fill the house with natural light which provide amazing views. Loved falling asleep to the sounds of the surf and awakening to the howler monkeys playing in the nearby trees. Great location with a nice walk to a beautiful beach with great waves for surfing or boogie boarding. The local “sodas” or casual restaurants were right around the bend or a short walk down the beach serving great local food by the friendly locals. Pura Vida!

This house is at a great location about a five to ten minute pleasant walk to the beach. It’s perched up on a hill which makes it extra pleasant when the breeze comes in from all sides (we were never hot with the breeze and the fans). The house has plenty of space for eight with a common area downstairs that can double as a bed (there are two couches), one room upstairs that fits two in one bed, and another room upstairs that fits four on two beds. The kitchen and bathrooms were also great. We had no problem with the hot water, for instance and the showers are large. This house definitely has a rustic feel with no AC, yellow lights at night, and sunlight in the morning, but it’s quite charming and we liked the beachy decorations. Some bugs (ants, crickets) get in so you have to be careful about leaving food out in the sink or elsewhere, but with some tidiness they’re not a problem. The beach nearby was our favorite out of all the beaches we went to with huge waves for swimming or surfing and very wide beaches. It’s also a thirty minute beach walk from Playa Carbón, which has black sand. Our favorite local places were Pots and Bowls and the snack shack by the beach entrance. Most days we traveled to attractions ~2 hours away (like Rincón de la Vieja, Lake Arenal, Playa Hermosa; Monteverde Cloud forest and Mistico Hanging Bridges are also within driving distance) and there’s plenty to do in a week. If you’re looking for a rustic but comfortable vacation stay right by the beach this is the place for you!

I recommend Craig's house 100%, it is very clean and with a lot of ventilation, the porch on the second floor is magnificent you can see the sunset very well, the place is very quiet and close to the beach. Craig is always on the lookout if anything is needed and responds very quickly to emails, we loved the house and will surely return! Craig thank you so much for the great hospitality , we had a great time in Costa Rica and we are for sure coming back!

Les recomiendo al 100% la casa de Craig, es muy limpia y con mucha ventilacion, el porche en el segundo piso es magnifico se puede ver muy bien la puesta del sol, el lugar es muy tranquilo y cerca de la playa. Craig siempre esta al pendiente si se necesita algo y responde muy rapido a emails, nos encanto la casa y de seguro regresamos! Craig thank you so much for the great hospitality , we had a great time in Costa Rica and we are for sure coming back!

Beautiful home in a great location, close to the beach. we were able to see amazing birds in the balcony of the master bedroom.  host is very friendly.  I highly recommend this place. 

Our family had a wonderful time in the beautiful house with an outstanding view down to Playa Grande. We especially enjoyed the cosy atmosphere and the quiet setting. Waking up with the howling monkeys, squirrels and birds made our day! Craig was a great host and helped us to find our way around. We all hope to get the chance to be back one day.

Kai is a fantastic host. He welcome us (and our guests) upon arrival and gave up tips on where to go since it was our first time in Playa Grande. It's a great little spot and would recommend it to those who are looking for a quite getaway. 

Craig was really concern about our trip and day of arrival. He and his wife are an exceptionally kind couple. All my family was thrill about the place and the view. The place is really easy to find and really close to the beautiful beaches of Guanacaste. I really recommend this place because i felt as home.  I will return, I promise

The house is amazing. Its huge, gorgeous and clean. Its an easy walk down to the beach where the surf is amazing. Kai is super accommodating. If only I could make this a yearly stay...
