Beachfront Villa 5BR 4BA AC Private Pool & Parking - Villas for Rent in Playa Grande, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

We absolutely loved our stay here! Our family of 9 had an amazing time. The views were incredible, and being right on the beach made it such a special place to stay. The surf was great, and we loved being so close to so many cute restaurants. Stefano was a wonderful host and went above and beyond to help make our trip special. He even helped arrange excursions for us, which made everything so easy. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone visiting Playa Grande!

This property is a gem on the Pacific coast with an interesting beach and near a national park. Many local restaurants to choose from. The only issue has nothing to do with the property and that is the road infrastructure in Costa Rica sucks.

5 star view and beach location - 10 star actually, being next to the national park. But, only giving 4 stars bc set up is great for separate groups staying at the property (couples, different families, etc) but not ideal for 1 family who wants to spend time together. 4 separate living spaces that are not connected internally. If you have a couple different groups staying together and have a rental car to get around it’s perfect

Villas De La Roca (the name of the house) was a wonderful place for our group. Lots of room to spread out while still feeling close in and together. The beach front dining patio was exquisite.  We loved being off the beaten path, in the national forest, on the beach. The water was intense and definitely not for beginner swimmers, just FYI. Be sure to get clear instructions on finding the house, as it can be a bit confusing. The only inconvenience was the gecko poo that required multiple daily cleanings in the upstairs living areas. Would return to this lovely home!

We stayed here with our family to celebrate my 50th Birthday and I can’t imagine a better place on earth for that or any vacation. The beach is right out front with consistent, gentle waves for beginner surfing, beautiful sunsets, long beaches for walking, and plenty of food options in Playa Grande. We got up early to walk to the Brazilian bakery for coffee & breakfasts, lots of lunches at the taco stand on the beach (cash-only), and evening dinners at the variety of great restaurants nearby. The house itself was perfect for our party of 11, everyone had plenty of space, but we could still gather in the lovely pool in the afternoons or on the gorgeous porch. The wildlife was amazing, we saw monkeys, iguanas, hermit crabs, mango grove crabs at the house and took another day at the Diamanté Eco Adventure Park (also recommended!) Stefano was a gracious host and very proactive and responsive to any questions. Everyone we met was super friendly, I can’t wait to visit Costa Rica again!

We booked this location based on the beach access and views but upon arrival we were beyond impressed with the home and property.  The photos do not do this home justice!  The views, multiple hang out spots and Costa Rican vibe the house has cannot be beat.  We had 2 families with kids ranging from 6-11 (note that 3 of the bedroom spaces can only be accessed by the exterior of the home which can be tricky with young kids).  There is nighttime security although we never felt unsafe in the area. We would 100% book this home again and didn’t want to leave!

This house was perfect for our family. Would definitely stay again!

The location is amazing with amazing sunsets. The balcony overlooking the beach is beautiful and the beach is nice and quiet. You need a car to get into Tamarindo (40 min drive) as you cannot cross the estuary to get to Tamarindo beach proper (which you can see in the distance) unless you are happy fighting crocodiles! The kitchen and bathroom in the main house could do with an update although remains fully functional so no big deal. My wife and I booked this for four nights and loved being able to go straight out to the beach but we did not use the rest of the property (other bedrooms) so cannot comment on them. We would likely go back to this property as the beach is worth it, as well as the balcony and the peace and quiet the property offers.

Right on the beach, we loved this place!  Thank you!

we will be back... can't say enough positive things about our stay and Playa Grande

If anything, this place was under - rated. It was perfect for our group of 11. Stefano helped arrange multiple outings and accommodated the endless switches we needed to make for various reasons. The view was amazing. We hope to come back !

Our big family gathering loved our stay in Playa Grande at this special house. With great surf, beautiful sunsets, and excellent coordination with our hosts it was a wonderful visit. The neighborhood is great and has some good options for food and fun within walking distance. The beach itself is truly beautiful and expansive with miles for walking or hiking in either direction. Our host helped us line up surfboards which was also very helpful and gave us good recommendations for the area. We liked the house layout although it could be a bit challenging for families with smaller children. One thing the house could use is a bigger, nicer grill for the patio as the grill is a bit small and old for a big gathering. Overall, we loved our stay and can't wait to return for Pura Vida - hopefully next year!!

Unbelievable place to stay. Every aspect was wonderful and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s much better than it looks in the photos.

Wonderful house! Came for our anniversary and some surfing. The house is well provisioned, the views are amazing, the romantic sunsets are incredible, and the break out in front of the house was super fun. The house is very well managed. Clean, secure and well kept. The property manger was responsive and helpful. We had two couples, but the house could easily accommodate 3-4 couples and kids. We had a great time and will certainly return.

This spot is epic! If you’ve got a group or big family this is for you. Right on the beach, good waves right out front, can walk to tamarindo but far enough to be away from the crowds when you want to relax. Good laid back things to do in Playa Grande, a great little brewery. Our group of 10 were ending a one week trip with people saying “trip of a lifetime” , “I’m heading home in a totally better state of mind after this trip”

Great location in Playa Grande. Amazing ocean and sunset views, easily walkable to local places to eat. We rented a golf cart for a few days and were able to get to many places like that. House is spacious and host was very attentive and responsive. Highly recommend.

Stefano was the perfect host for our vacation. He set up excursions for us, purchased groceries and arranged for a chef. It made our trip more relaxing and enjoyable. The location of the house, right on the beach, was excellent. The layout is a little weird if you have young children, but we had read the reviews and were prepared!! We would definitely rent again because the value was amazing.

Amazing place to stay, we enjoyed a lot being by the beach

The house was perfect for 3 couples and kids. The location, right on the beach, really made our stay memorable. We loved walking out the front gate to the beach, enjoying sunsets on the upper terrace and swimming in the pool. The AC was perfect since we stayed during dry season. It was nice to have beach towels, chairs and boogie boards to bring to the beach.

we travelled Costa rica for 3 weeks and stayed at various air bnbs and this was by far our favorite! So close to a beautiful quiet beach with absolutely everything we needed. Stefano was very responsive and helpful so anything that came up, and a night guard was on property at night although we never felt unsafe. The kitchen was a bit small for our group of nine, but you can’t beat the view of the ocean from every window in house and the deck facing the ocean…all we kept saying was that the pictures don’t do it justice!

Great location on Playa Grande with a good beach break right out front that is less crowded than all the surfers near Taco Star. House is clean, comfortable and comes with everything -- all you need to add is food and beverages. Stefano is a great host, quick to respond and help in anyway needed. Will definitely stay here again!

We will be more than happy to have you stay with us again.

Location is great. Host is super responsive.  Highly recommend!

Fantastic views. Great location right on the ocean/beach. Great setup for multifamily parties. A/c in all bedrooms Cons: our bed was quite hard Things to consider: -if small children, the stairs to the loft area are quite steep, so we had to block them off. Wouldn't be an ideal area to sleep for older individuals or young kids, but older kids and teens would be fine. Cool area and does have an a/c -upper level patio looking over the ocean not babyproof, so we just didn't allow the toddlers out Recommendations: -consider bed upgrades -stepping stones from the front house/pool area to the back patio to get to the beach, as the gravel makes it so you need to wear shoes -larger lockbox as it was difficult to get the keys arranged sometimes to get it to shut I have already recommended this place to a friend traveling to CR. I can't wait to return in the future when my kids are bigger. Loved the house!

Wonderful location on the beach. We went to sleep to the sound of the waves every night. House is exactly as pictured. All three bedrooms had privacy and adjacent bathroom.  We enjoyed the outdoor spaces, particularly the upstairs deck, which runs the width of the house, and the pool. And the beach is just steps away. Kitchen was a little cozy for a large group, but certainly functional. Security was good. Host Stefano was extremely helpful and responsive. We’re hoping to return to Playa Grande and to this house.

The location at the north end of Playa Grande on the sand is unbeatable. The view & sound of the beach is magical. Sunsets on the second floor patio are unforgettable. There is plenty of space. The common areas, as well as bedrooms have air conditioning. This is a plus! Our host was responsive, kind, helpful and available. There are restaurants nearby but you might want to cook light meals or grill while enjoying the view. Easy drive to the market. Harder to get to Tamarindo, as the water “taxi” is 3 miles away (not walkable in the sun). The house needs updating & deep cleaning. Some areas are rustic & the kitchen requires work. The pool area needs  a deck to hang out comfortably. But please note: the beach is the attraction here!!! You will be on the sand in the house. If you have a large family this is great space. The 2 private bedrooms on the ground level are large & have their own kitchenette and large balcony. Their own space practically. You will be relaxed and happy here 😁

We had a great stay. The location of the house on the beach is amazing and the pictures don’t do the ocean view justice. We rented a surf board and my son surfed daily. Beautiful quiet beach with lots of room for running or walking. Stephano was super responsive and helped us with some great recommendations.  I’m sad to be leaving and can’t wait to come back!

We had the best time! The view from the porch is magnificent. We had 4 adults/5 kids. Stefano helped us find food, transportation, etc. One thing I wish I'd known about this location was that the main bedrooms are all in separate apartments. Each one is a part of the same building, but there are no staircases or hallways connecting the rooms. If you are traveling with children, they will have to go outside in the night to get to your bedroom. The property is quite safe, guarded at night, and fully enclosed around the perimeter, but if your kids are afraid of coming to find you in the dark night, they will end up sleeping on the floor of your room. There is an open loft (2 beds) inside the same area as the master bedroom, just know that the stairs are steep- like a ladder. The surf is GREAT if you're an experienced. Strong rip tide is present. If you have young kids there are calmer beaches elsewhere. Estuary right next door where crocodiles live! Occasionally they swim in the ocean!

Super awesome home right on the beach away from the crowds. And it had ac!!! Pool was super, monkeys in the trees, host was awesome. No complaints

My family of 9 (including my 9 month old!) had a beautiful time. Loved the easy access to walk straight out onto the beach for the surfers in our group. Tons of space, beautifully cared for, gorgeous lush plants and trees everywhere. Stefano was very responsive and got us extra propane. Allen was a joy to chat with about surfing, the home and the community, and Damian was such a help getting y us all in when we arrived and made us feel safe and cared for every night. The rooms were very cool with the ac but a lot of times we just let the breeze through. Mosquitos are brutal so bring extra bug spray but it’s that way everywhere in Costa Rica, not just at the house. We saw iguanas and monkeys while lounging in the pool. The roads are bumpy all over so keep that in mind while renting a car but super easy location to find and a couple lovely restaurants (bars, coffee shops, etc) are literally right around the corner. Concierge was so helpful with car rentals! Use the service!

Amazing stay, beautiful surroundings, friendly people.  We felt at home during this very relaxing stay.  The beach, home, and gardens…all gorgeous.

Amazing location on the sand!  Perfect place for our two teenagers - they each had their own suite and we had the master. Loved the landscaping and the fragrant tree!

The photos on the listing don’t do this place justice. It is so incredibly beautiful, right on the sand, with incredible views of the beach. Great surf and boogie boarding right in your backyard. Amazing sunsets. We love the remoteness of Playa Grande with the ability to get to Tamarindo easily if we need to. Stefano had great recommendations too and was able to set up various services for us (chef, massages, surf lessons). 10/10 great beach trip

Highly recommend staying here. House is very big and great views from any area!

The location and house is amazing!! The house and yard is super well maintained. The beach access from the house is great as well! We had some trouble with the WiFi and water in the house being turned off throughout the stay, but the water problem was figured out by the end. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

You get what you pay for. Big house, pool, exceptional outdoor decks, all looking right on to the beach!

Incredible beach house, an absolute hidden gem in Playa Grande with such an unspoilt beach and felt really authentic. Well worth the money! The staff were fabulous… Damien, the night guard was amazing and catered to our every need and Alan was so friendly and helpful, we felt like we’d known him for years! They couldn’t have done any more for us, whilst still also respecting our privacy. Incredible hosts… We will definitely be back!

What a beautiful place! We loved the view of the long beach. The surfers, waves, birds, absolutely gorgeous! The house was comfortable and private. We used the pool 2-3 times a day, perfectly refreshing! The gent in the casita in the front of the property, Alan, was very helpful and fun to be around. We hope to be able to return, a week was not enough!

We can’t express enough how amazing our stay was. The location and the whole experience was exactly what we wanted, direct beach access, relaxing atmosphere, it felt like we had the beach to ourselves most of the time. The surfing was perfect. Stefano was very helpful with getting us the surf boards, arranging for the catamaran trip, and organizing Veronica for the meals she made for us. The house was clean and had what we needed. It was a beautiful home. Every experience here was exceptional. Allan, who lives on site, was there to greet us upon arrival and gave us some helpful tips. He was kind and friendly but also respectful of our privacy. We truly hope to be back. Becky (&Josh, Brad & Erin)

Allen is a legendary surfer and is always happy to share a story! Fun surf destination for 3 singles or 3 couples...

First and foremost, if I had my choice I’d still be in Costa Rica and not writing this review from an office in WV. This place is incredibly special and unique. The character of the home, property, interiors, animal visitors, etc. made each minute more worthwhile. Alan, the homeowner, is as welcoming & quirky as they come. From showing us the rare trees to talking about life and the world, we felt grounded and peaceful in his space. His assistant, Johan, was also extremely accommodating and helpful, and we actually ended up scheduling amazing & successful surf lessons from him. The bedrooms all had lovely AC. I love the open-air concept of beach homes & didn’t mind not having AC throughout the entire place. Did I mention I’m not thrilled about being at home? I’m ready to go back. Whatever you do, don’t think twice about booking this place. Book for double the amount of time you originally planned! Pura vida.

We loved our stay! The location of this house, on the beach at the north end of Playa Grande, is unparalleled. The beach is stunning and waking up to the ocean, white sand, and beautiful rock formation is truly magical. The house itself is very simple and could be tricky with small kids (the downstairs bedrooms are actually separate from the upstairs). But we were grateful to have found it and hope to return someday!

Casa la Roca can not be better located with a great beach for playing in the waves, walking, or checking the tide pools. Swell was 1 to 4 ft with plenty of good beginner to intermediate surf. Playa Grande is a chill town with plenty of good restaurants and a couple of surf shops. The patio is amazing, sunsets are stunning, and the pool is a bonus, all better than the pictures. The locals were very friendly and helpful. The house had full-time gaurd and grounds people for extra security. Stephano is a full-time conceierge that will help organize trips and get you gear or whatever you ask. The house is older, and could use a deep clean and a refresh, but there were no bugs inside. The kitchen is small and minimally equipped. The beds were firm, and the linens were old, and we wish we had brought our own pillows. My understanding is that all the beach front houses are older as they no longer allow beach front construction here. Not fancy, but the pura vida vibe I was expecting.
