Home in Playa Grande

The house was great. Location and price were good and the house itself had great privacy and a great rear pool area. 5 minute drive to playa grande main beach. A few good restaurants within a short drive. I recommend this property.

We stayed at Casa Por Que No for 13 days.  It was a dream family vacation.  Shawna was very helpful with many great recommendations.  The one minor issue we had, (which ended up being a dead battery) she had a person stop by moments after I texted.  Our family of 10 all loved and highly recommend this place and Shawna!

This place was great. The home was beautifully presented, well equipped, and extremely comfortable for our family of seven. Shawna was a fantastic host—very responsive, easy to communicate with, and helpful throughout our stay. With the concierge service, they stocked our fridge pre-arrival which made it very convenient. The outdoor lounge areas, which quickly became our favourite spots to relax. The pool was great but a bit too cold for our liking to just lounge in the pool. The location of the house is about a 8-10 mins walk when pulling a wagon on unpaved streets. A special highlight was having boogie boards that’s we rented as it’s a surfers beach, and the restaurants that are short walk.

Pura Vida! We worked hard to provide an amazing trip. Bummer that we received a 4 star review. After working so hard,we could easily have taken in any feedback while you were there and helped your stay be even more enjoyable, you were texting me multiple times per day with requests. Pura Vida

Very pleasant stay in a beautiful house with all the necessities! Very friendly and proactive host to make our stay magical! There were 8 of us and we all loved the house and the layout of it with a beautiful swimming pool to swim and get together! Thank you for everything, Shawna! Pura vida!

Séjour très agréable dans une maison magnifique avec tout le nécessaire ! Hôte très sympathique et proactive pour rendre notre séjour magique ! Nous étions 8 personnes et avons tous adoré la maison et la disposition de celle-ci avec une belle piscine pour se baigner et se retrouver tous ensemble ! Merci pour tout Shawna ! Pura vida !

Playa Grande is a magical place and this home was absolutely perfect. Shawna was super helpful and responsive, and check in was a breeze. The home is well stocked. We loved the large pool to play in and the fun ping pong table especially. Every morning we walked to the beach for a sunrise stroll with the kids, played all day locally or at Playa Grande, and were back on the beach for sunset every night. We had plenty of room and more for our family of 7 and were very happy with this home. This is a secluded and private beach & community, and is very safe. Great relaxed restaurants nearby and a quick boat ride accorss the estuary for groceries (or a 30 min drive). We've traveled in Costa Rica quite a bit all over, and always come back to Playa Grande. Thank you Shawna for everything!

Great house pretty clean and close to the beach

The place was great and Shawna is a wonderful host!!! Only issue was no hot water in master shower and not enough lounge chairs around the pool. An excellent place to stay..

Hi Reade! So happy you enjoyed! Wish you would have mentioned the hot water, as we certainly could have fixed it ASAP and you would have enjoyed hot water. We have so many other furniture around, that we leave the two for the sun, and it is left in our pictures pretty obviously! We will consider getting a couple of more, but this is the first mention of that!

This is our 3rd stay in the Palm Beach Estates community and the accommodations for the additional family joining us at Casa Por Que No were perfect.  The home layout was incredibly functional and spacious for 6 adults, 2 teenagers and 3 kids.  Shawna was very responsive and flexible on our check-in time.  Thanks again for the wonderful home in our favorite neighborhood & beach in Costa Rica!

Very nice place! clean and had everything we needed. The extra bedroom out by the pool was slightly outdated. The bed was pretty old and not super comfortable and the shower never seemed to get hot but outside of that the pool was VERY nice and a short walk to the beach with a great little coffee shop nearby. Lots to do within walking distance. Very easy to get over to Tamarindo but the beach walk was quite a ways. I would suggest booking a boat ride from the Grateful hotel to get over vs walking to the $2 boat rides from the beach. Overall, I would stay here again for sure.

Shawna is truly an outstanding host. We made a last minute reservation and she was incredibly helpful, communicative, and accommodating. The property is gorgeous—a short stroll from the beach.  The house is well stocked with towels and other items that make you feel like home. My kids loved the ping pong table. I highly recommend this property. Great location and we had a very relaxing two weeks. Thank you so much!

This villa is spectacular, we were 8 people and we just heard "wow, wow, wow" when we first entered the villa ! There is a lot of space, every room has its own bathroom, the pool is incredible. We felt like rich people in our villa in Costa Rica ! The beach is 5-10 min walk and is incredible ! Shawna has been also very responsive and helpful. All and all we were very satisfy and I strongly recommend this villa !

This trip was a group trip with my siblings and all our kids (13, 10, 3, two 1 year olds). The house was the perfect size and everyone had enough space to spread out. We ate out at 2 of the local restaurants 2 nights. One was ok and one was a definite do not recommend. We booked one of the local chefs to come to the house for 2 nights. Highly recommend! The best food of the trip. We cooked the other nights. The house had everything we needed.  Playa Grande is very quiet and peaceful. Maybe a smidge too quiet and a smidge farther of a walk to the boat taxi to Tamarindo than our group desired. But definitely our own fault for not researching better. The restaurant/coffee/store options in Playa Grande March to their own beat as far as times open/closed and such. Which probably falls in line with the laid back Costa Rica vibes. Not a bad thing, just something we had to adjust to. Glad we took advantage of the pre grocery option, as our travel didn’t go as planned and options are limited.

Shawna was an amazing host with flexible check in/check out times to accommodate our group and set up transportation. The house with better than the photos showed with large bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms for every room. The pool was viewable from many areas in the house and was regularly maintained throughout our stay. We loved the walkability to the beach and restaurants in the area. The location is very quiet, private and safe. When taking the water taxi across to Tamarindo there is more of a city vibe over there with loud music playing, packed beaches and lots of restaurants. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here.

Lovely house. easy walk to the fabulous beach. A few pretty decent places to eat within walking distance. House had most things that we needed, we rented a sunscreen for the beach. It was very hot while we were there and A/C worked great.  Boat taxi into Tamarindo ended at 5pm so for night time need to drive or uber ($25).

Thank you Shawna for the beautiful haven of peace. The Palm Beach Estate area is super safe and with 6 children we were more than happy to stay in this heavenly place. Our accommodation was spotless and the equipment was very useful! The beach is a few minutes walk away and we saw the most beautiful sunsets. Shawna responded to any questions we had quickly and made good recommendations.

Merci Shawna pour le bel havre de paix. La zone Palm Beach Estate est super sécuritaire et avec 6 enfants nous étions plus qu’heureux de séjourner dans cet endroit paradisiaque. Notre hébergement était impeccable et l’équipement fort utile! La plage a quelques minutes de marche était calme et nous y avons vu les plus beaux couchers de soleil. Shawna a répondu à toutes nos questions rapidement et nous a fait de bonnes recommandations.

Wow! Awesome place, peaceful location, and so worth it!  Was a bit above our budget but the location is great for a relaxing vacation. The beach is beautiful and very few people! Tamirando is close by and great if you want to be around a lot of people. We prefer to stay around the house and the beautiful neighborhood!  Host was so nice and helpful. They have all the stuff you need for a carefree vacation… beach towels, beach chairs, fast internet and well stocked kitchen!  Would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay. Shawna was amazing to deal with and the home is right around the corner from a huge, family friendly beach. Our family will definitely be back!

The home is beautiful and well appointed. This is a perfect rental for a large family or several couples. The kitchen has just about everything you could need and the pool and deck areas are great. Shawna was beyond responsive and answered any and all questions timely. The area itself is pretty self contained and don't even need to leave for a true relaxing vacation.

Beautiful place with plenty of room and a beautiful pool. We had a small issue with the correct door codes but Shawna responded quickly and it was taken care of.  We highly recommend this place, and love the area.

We loved our stay. We were with family, everyone was able to find their rhythm, beach and restaurants being within walking distance. The outdoor space (patios, pool) is very nice. Several places to discover within an hour drive. Beautiful waves to the sea, perfect for fun or surfing. Shawna and her team were great when we had any questions. Great stay!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Nous étions en famille, chacun a pu trouver son rythme, plage et restos étant accessibles à pied. L’espace extérieur (patios, piscine) très agréable. Plusieurs endroits à découvrir à moins d’une heure de route. Belles vagues à la mer, parfait pour s’amuser ou surfer. Shawna et son equipe ont été super lorsque nous avons eu des questions. Super séjour!

Shawna was a wonderful superhost from our very first email communications almost three months prior to our stay. We had a three generation family stay with multiple and varying needs and requests which Shawna diligently and patiently addressed before our stay. This property had a great lay-out that suited our needs (for example: two living rooms, each with TV monitor and connectivity; multiple bedrooms each with en suite bath; washer and dryer; and a great pool). On our first day out of the property, we locked ourselves out...on a Sunday night - Shawna came to meet us at the near by restaurant within 45 minutes to let us in. That puts the "super" in superhost, in my opinion. By the way, Shawna recommended that we take advantage of a pre-arrival grocery shopping option - which we did not - and discovered not much open early on a Sunday morning - so, next time we will. All in all, a great stay at a wonderful property that is a five min walk from one of the best beaches you will encounter

This is a beautiful large home in a peaceful, laid-back neighborhood.  The neighborhood is adjacent to the most enormous, perfect beach that we've ever seen.  Things we loved about the neighborhood included walkability, lack of high-rises or other large structures, and easily accessible restaurants and businesses like a surf school and yoga studio.  The house itself is much bigger than it appears in photos! As a family of 5 there was tons of space for us to spread out.  We swam in the pool every day and really enjoyed the gorgeously landscaped outdoor area.  The kitchen was extremely well-stocked with tons of cooking and even baking supplies, much more than we even needed.  Shawna the host was very responsive to any questions that we had about the house.  I wish we could have stayed even longer!  This was a very lovely place to stay.

We are so happy you had such a great time!!
