Walk to the beach, sunset by pool - Houses for Rent in Playa Grande, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa el Mirlo! My wife and I stayed for the week with our 3 kids (7, 11 & 16) and we were really able to unwind. The house is beautiful with a very convenient layout and fitted with all the necessities. The bedrooms are spacious and beds quite comfortable. We definitely appreciated the blackout shades in every room! We spent many hours in the pool and lounging on the comfortable deck. Lia was very responsive, she graciously answered all our questions and even helped us with transportation arrangements. Playa Grande is a great destination to unplug and reset. This area is not at all mainstream, no tourist traps or crowds. It's the perfect town to get away from the busyness of life. The beach here is so peaceful and only a short walk from the property. We'll likely rent a golf cart or car for convenience next time, but we were easily able to get around town by foot or Uber, and securing rides to and from activities out of town was simple. Amazing place!

We (a family of 5) stayed at Casa Mirlo for 5 nights, from April 21st – April 26th, 2026. Our family ranged in age from 30 to 68. The house was magnificent and the layout which included 4 bedrooms was perfect for our family. There was plenty of space for all of us and we had everything we needed to make our 5 night stay great. The living room/kitchen was very conducive to preparing and enjoying family meals and for playing card games and watching movies. We spent a lot of time sitting by the pool, just outside the living room/kitchen. Our host Lia addressed a very minor issue within 15 minutes of us messaging her through Air BNB. This is excellent customer service!! Additional highlights include: 1.	The proximity to the beach for swimming or surfing was incredible. Only a 5 minute walk. 2.	The house had a washer/dryer, which we could use when we needed. 3.	There were multiple restaurants and snack bars within a 5-10 minute walk. 4.	The garage area was huge and definitely sufficient

We recently spent five nights at Casa el Mirlo, hosted by Lia. This house is beautiful. We drove over in the dark after landing in Liberia - super instructions for finding the house in the dark. The house looks easily as nice, if not nicer, than the pictures. Top quality on everything. Really good water pressure and the beds are very comfortable. Everything was in order. Easy to get in to the gate and plenty of parking. The ACs keep the bedrooms and living room super cold. The views to the ocean are beautiful. Just up the hill from the beach, which is about a 6 minute walk. Also walking distance to several really good restaurants - we tried both RipJack Inn and Pots & Bowls, and both are fantastic. Lia was super responsive (even late at night) and very accommodating. We had no issues at all.

We had a great stay, particularly enjoying the well stocked kitchen and pool areas. We had a bit of a hiccup with the water service upon arrival, and Lia had it fixed ASAP.

Great house, location, and very responsive property management!

Wonderful stay at this Airbnb with a group of friends! Hosts were super responsive and helpful when a few issues came up during the stay. We booked a dinner with a private chef for our last night and it was delicious and a special experience. We will be back!

Lia was a hospitable and gracious host. Lia was quick to respond to all our questions. This house has Amazing views, pictures are accurate The sunsets are spectacular. The house is close to many beaches and amenities , very centrally located. We would definitely return.

A great place to stay in playa grande. Lia is a great host she was very helpful and quick to respond to any of our requests. The house looks just like the pics the location is perfect : a few min walk to beach and you can easily walk to nearby restaurants . I highly recommend it.

Lia is a very helpful person. Gave us great tips and was always available for us. We even thought we had forgotten our passports in the villa shortly after arriving at our next stop in La Fortuna. Lia responded immediately and was willing to help us. Fortunately, the documents were with us and we did not have to resort to Lias' help to somehow bridge the 4-hour drive... The villa also lives up to the description and the photos. We were almost sad to have to go, even though our vacation was only halfway around and there was another week of vacation in La Fortuna ahead of us - we loved the stay at the villa on Playa Grande so much. We can only report positive things, therefore recommend this insider tip to everyone and have firmly decided to come back. Thank you dear Lia! Pura Vida!

Lia ist eine sehr hilfsbereite Person. Hat uns tolle Tipps gegeben und war stets für uns erreichbar. Wir hatten sogar kurzfristig bei Ankunft unserer anschließenden Station in La Fortuna gedacht unsere Pässe in der Villa vergessen zu haben. Lia reagiert sofort und war bereit uns zu helfen. Erfreulicher Weise sind die Dokumente doch bei uns gewesen und wir mussten nicht auf Lias Hilfe zurückgreifen die 4 Std Autofahrt irgendwie zu überbrücken... Auch die Villa steht der Beschreibung und den Fotos nichts nach. Wir waren schon fast traurige gewesen gehen zu müssen, obwohl unser Urlaub gerade erst halb rum war und noch ein weitere Woche Urlaub in La Fortuna vor uns lag - so sehr haben wir die den Aufenthalt in der Villa am Playa Grande geliebt. Wir können nur Positives berichten, empfehlen daher jedem diesen Geheimtipp und haben fest vor wieder zu kommen. Vielen Dank liebe Lia! Pura Vida!

Casa Mirlo is stunning! It's such a wonderful, well-appointed and unique house that definitely has a WOW factor. The location was everything we could have hoped for. We loved all of the furnishings and amenities - everything from the bathroom linens and toiletries to how the kitchen was stocked with gorgeous flatware and wine glasses. Plus, they had pool towels and beach gear (with a wagon!) for guest use. The house is even better than the pictures but what really stood out was the level of care and consideration from Lia & Ryan. We encountered a situation early into our stay and they handled it in such a way that went above and beyond. Because they live locally, it was super easy to communicate and they made sure we had everything we needed. You can't always say this about a vacation rental property, but we truly felt taken care of. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place. Comfortable and stylish. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Casa el Mirlo is as beautiful as the pictures show.  The open space kitchen/dining/lounge area is really great, and opens onto the pool deck, which was my favorite place. Whether if was early morning listening to the ocean, the birds and wildlife, soaking up the sun in the afternoon, or watching sunset and star gazing, every moment on the deck was amazing.  And of course the pool itself was a welcome opportunity to cool off and relax. The corridor to the bedrooms is a treat, with nice views of the natural landscaping.  The four bedrooms are all very spacious, with plenty of closet space. We were a group of six, and never felt crowded.  Lia was such a wonderful host, highly responsive, and helpful. Playa Grande is such a cool, chill beach town, and Casa el Mirlo is a perfect base to explore the town and the local area.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Playa Grande and will definitely be back. Lia was responsive and helpful from our initial booking until we checked out. Such a great location and lovely host.

This house was beyond our expectations! Beautiful is an understatement. Starting from the kitchen 😍 and the pool! Everything was amazing. Would DEFINITELY recommend staying at this place.

Our family of 7 had an amazing experience here. The house was exactly as pictured — modern, new, very clean. The neighborhood is a construction zone as indicated by our host. The host Lia was incredibly helpful, arranging transport and excursions, and offering recommendations for dining and shopping. The area has lots of casual restaurants….leave your dress up clothes home!

Beautiful modern home tucked up the hill amongst the trees in nature, but still a short walk to some of the best restaurants of playa grande and of course the beach. Views from the pool deck are amazing especially at sunset.

We had the best stay at Casa Mirlo! The house was walkable to the beach, but if you drove there was always available parking close. We loved hanging out at El Beach Club, the best milkshakes and food! The house was just as described, even better! Lia was very responsive, but didn’t have to contact her for anything, but she did check in, which was nice. Everything was great. The pool was a nice addition to have. I can’t say enough things about the house and the area. Lia was great too! We would love to come back and if we do we would definitely stay here again!!

Lia’s Villa was perfect for our family of 5! Clean, spacious and really well situated in Playa Grande. We especially loved the pool and the open concept kitchen/living area. Lia was so helpful with tips and reccommendations. We would love to return sometime soon!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa di Mirlo! It was an absolutely gorgeous house with everything you could possibly need or want (i.e., so much space, lots of natural light, unique and fun layout, an amazing pool, close to anything you’d need). Lia was friendly and responsive, and even provided a few things we asked for they didn’t immediately have. The only “downside” was the construction going on other neighborhood, but we were well informed of this in advance and it really wasn’t bad at all. Would definitely recommend to others!

Excellent place, very quiet, nice house, very quick to help, and a spectacular large beach, the Best beach we've been to. Several restaurants nearby

Excelente lugar muy tranquilo, linda casa, muy rápida para ayudar lía y playa grande espectacular , la Mejor playa que fuimos. Varios restaurantes cerca

Lia, made the arrangement super easy. The house was easy to find even though the neighborhood was still under construction. Everything felt very secure. The gates and codes worked seamlessly. The place is absolutely and uniquely beautiful! Thanks for allowing us to stay.

This place was gorgeous. Everything was amazing and exactly how it’s described in the post. It was a 10/15 minute walk to the furthest restaurant in town and 10 minutes to the beach. Lia was a very accommodating host and responded quickly to any questions. Absolutely amazing time and we would stay there again!

The house is just as listed.  Great walking distant to the beach and much of Playa Grande.  The beach is beautiful and not over crowded.  The house had everything we needed for our stay.

Beautifully modern place in a great location!

Lia's home was just as described and matched the photos.   The house was a walkable distance to the beach, and the property had a locked gate and electronic lock on the front door.  It is a new and modern home, with lots of great windows and lighting.  There is a lot of new construction around the home, but it did not wake us in the morning or run into the evening.  There were ample cooking utensils and good appliances in the kitchen with a nice open floor plan in the living area and deck.  There was a large laundry that came in handy.  The layout of the bedrooms separate from the living room worked well if some people were up early and wanted their coffee!  We would happily stay there again.

This is a great place to stay. It’s well stocked if you like to cook meals at home. You can see a bit of the ocean and enjoy the sunsets from the back patio. And it’s only a short walk to the beach, local restaurants and the beach club where they have a weekly local market, food, bar and surfboard rentals etc. Lia is an amazing host who is very responsive and made everything very easy for us.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and are sure you will too!

10/10, this is an amazing property and Lia was incredibly helpful. The nextdoor neighbors Brian and Nancy were very kind as well, I highly recommend staying here

Lia’s property is beautiful. Very clean and peaceful. There is a lot of construction going on in the area but it really was not bothersome at all. The house feels very secluded in the best way. A very short walk to the beach and local restaurants. The perfect place for a rejuvenating vacation!

loved our stay at casa el mirlo. Lia went above and beyond to make my birthday amazing. I would 100% come back and stay here. Thank you Lia!!!

Amazing house in Playa Grande.  Able to walk to the beach at Playa Grande, restaurants and other activities in the laid back surf town.  Lia was a great host and very responsive to anything that needed to be addressed.

Lia was amazing she was so responsive and gave us so many recommendations for restaurants and excursions.  She answered any questions we had and helped our family have a wonderful vacation.  Her house was an amazing place to stay we had a wonderful time.

The place is absolutely stunning!!!!! Amazing

The house is amazing with a great deck to relax. Lia is very responsive and took care of any questions we had within minutes

The house and location are both amazing! As beautiful as the pictures. We had a wonderful vacation and can’t wait to return one day!

The house was perfect and the configuration of the rooms really well thought out. Our host Lia was always very approachable and quick to give us tips. We followed his recommendations of restaurants and places to visit and were always very satisfied with the experiences.  Thank you so much! Wonderful trip to Costa Rica!

La maison était parfaite et la configuration des pièces vraiment très bien pensé. Notre hôte Lia a été toujours très accessible et rapide à nous donner des conseils. Nous avons suivi ses recommandations de restaurants et d’endroits à visiter et avons toujours été très satisfaits des expériences.  Merci beaucoup! Magnifique voyage au Costa Rica!

Did a trip with my 7 brothers in law and we couldn’t have found a better place to stay. Loved the place, loved the beach, and loved the location as it wasn’t super busy. Roads are a bit rough and there’s construction going on but don’t let that stop you! We also loved hotel ONDA right down the road as a place to hang, drink and eat. Would highly recommend and will be staying there if/when I ever go back to Costa Rica.

It’s beautiful and Lia took cate of us :)

Lovely home. Extremely clean with very spacious kitchen/living area completely separate from sleeping areas. Very quiet and peaceful inside despite much local construction. Easy beach access and some food and nightlife options walking distance.

very well equipped house, with a good location near several beaches and you can even walk to Playa Grande. In the surroundings there are several buildings for being a developing area but at night you can even hear the sea from the pool area. Lia was always very attentive. The house comes with enough amenities for a pleasant stay, even with cleaning supplies and a warm welcome detail with local produce. I would definitely stay here again.

casa muy bien equipada, con buena ubicacion cerca de varias playas e incluso se puede ir caminando a Playa Grande. En los alrededores hay varias construcciones por ser un area en desarrollo pero en las noches hasta se escucha el mar desde el área de la piscina. Lia estuvo siempre muy atenta. La casa cuenta con las amenidades suficientes para una agradable estadía, incluso con productos de limpieza y un cálido detalle de bienvenida con productos locales. Definitivamente volvería a hospedarme aquí.

The house was beautiful and a perfect place for our vacation.  Close to the beach, clean, modern and well equipped.

Incredible place in a very quiet  neighborhood we had an amazing family time! We recommend this place and we hope to visit it again!

Wow! This was my first time in Costa Rica, and it did not disappoint! The Playa Grande area is the magical place with private feeling beaches, amazing local food options (my favorites were the beach club, the ONDA hotel, Ripjacks, Pots and Bowls, and El Huertas). I also enjoyed seeing amazing local wildlife and adventuring to other beaches. This Airbnb was amazing, as well. It’s a 5 minute walk from the beach, and we loved coming home to the wonderful kitchen and spending time in the pool. And Lia was wonderful to work with! She was so quick to respond and helpful with anything we needed! This new home was perfect for my family, and we plan to come back in the spring!

The house is very nice and comfortable. Everything was very clean. The garden is very nice and the pool is a super plus. The location is very good for getting to know Playa Grande and the rest of the places nearby (Ventanas, Flamingo, Conchal, Tamarindo, Langosta, Avellanas). The sunset from the "deck" of the house and by the pool is stunning. The area is in development (many other houses nearby in the process of being built) but that was no problem for us. In addition, Lía was always very attentive to our needs and her responses to messages were quick. I would definitely stay at Casa Mirlo again.

La casa es muy agradable y cómoda. Todo estaba muy limpio. El jardín es muy lindo y la piscina es un super plus. La ubicación es muy buena para conocer Playa Grande y el resto de lugares cercanos (Ventanas, Flamingo, Conchal, Tamarindo, Langosta, Avellanas). El atardecer desde el "deck" de la casa y junto a la piscina es impresionante. El área está en desarrollo (muchas otras casas cercanas en proceso de costrucción) pero eso no fue problema para nosotros. Además Lía siempre estuvo muy atenta a nuestras necesidades y sus respuestas a los mensajes fueron rápidas. Sin duda volvería a hospedarme en Casa Mirlo.

Perfect location on one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. A house made to relax and enjoy both the comfort of the rooms and the social area with terrace and pool. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped. The whole house overlooks the sea and the nature reserve. Lia, our host, couldn't have been better and answered any questions right away. He also recommended several restaurants nearby that were great. I definitely recommend the stay and will definitely be back.

Ubicación perfecta en una de las playas más hermosas del país. Una casa hecha para relajarse y disfrutar tanto la comodidad de los cuartos como el área social con terraza y piscina. La cocina amplia y completamente equipada. Toda la casa tiene vistas hacia el mar y a la reserva natural. Lia, nuestra anfitriona, no pudo haber sido mejor y nos respondió cualquier consulta de inmediato. También nos recomendó varios restaurantes cercanos que estuvieron geniales. Definitivamente recomiendo la estadía y de seguro volveré.
