Casa Prana Playa Grande Beachfront Home - Houses for Rent in Santa Cruz, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Great location, very nice home (especially for Central America) and very helpful concierge!

Staying here was like a dream! Nicole was super helpful and very responsive. The place was beautiful , the pool area, even though pictured beautifully was even nicer in person! The sauna and the plunge pool were especially a hit. The beach was so close and the waves were absolutely perfect for surfing.We would definitely come back here!

This house was truly amazing and one of the highlights of our family trip to Costa Rica! We were a family of 14, and from the moment we arrived, we were blown away. The home was absolutely beautiful, spacious, and honestly one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. The location was perfect. Having the beach so close was incredible, and we loved being able to easily get to local bars and restaurants. When we wanted to head into Tamarindo, it was just a quick Uber ride away. It gave us the perfect combination of a beautiful, relaxing beach setting while still being close to everything. And we have to give a special mention to Nancy! She went above and beyond for our entire family and truly made our stay extra special. She took such wonderful care of us and the house and was an absolute pleasure to have around. She is a gem! Our whole family—from the younger ones to the grandparents—loved our time here. We made incredible memories together and were genuinely sad to leave. Beautifu

We had a wonderful week at Casa Prana. Our house mom was amazing. Beautiful home, excellent surf and the local restaurants were great.

We had an amazing trip!! Nicole the host was very helpful & responsive!! Definitely would recommend

​Five stars all around! We spent 4 days here and everything exceeded our expectations. Playa Grande is a gem, and this house is the perfect home base. A massive thank you to the house mom, nancy, who was simply amazing—she kept the place sparkling and made an amazing breakfast (ask for the gallo pinto!) Between the beautiful surroundings and the amazing hospitality, especially nicol who was responsive and wonderful, we felt completely spoiled. An absolute dream vacation!

We had a wonderful stay. The property was awesome, the staff was great and communication was smooth. Thank you all!

Where do I start.  This was the most amazing Air B and B I have ever experienced!  The amenities were top notch and beyond anything that I have seen in an Air B and B (high end blender, amazing outdoor furniture, grill, cold plunge....the list goes on). The location could not be beat with a 5 minute walk to the beach and great restaurants.  Nancy, the house mom, was wonderful, making us amazing breakfast when we asked and cleaning up the space every morning.  Nicol and the concierge team were fantastic and responsive to all of our requests including doing research on a karaoke machine rental!  I would highly recommend this Air B and B and will most definitely be back!

Nancy, our house mom, was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. She cooked an amazing dinner the first night we arrived & breakfast daily! The house itself was beautiful! clean, spacious, and thoughtfully set up for a comfortable stay. It was truly perfect for large families, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves, and it was especially great for kids. Every detail felt intentional, and you could tell a lot of care went into making the experience special. We couldn’t have asked for a better place or a better person to help host our stay!

This place was amazing! We stayed here for 10 days and never got bored!! The service was tremendous and the team continually checked in on us if we needed anything. Super helpful with golf carts. Would absolutely stay again.

My friends and I had a great stay at Casa Prana. The location is great, within walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The house it self was very clean and equipped with everything one would need. The standout feature of this stay was our house mom, Nancy, who was so friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and an amazing cook. Coordinating with the concierge was easy and effective. I would recommend this stay for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the pura vida lifestyle of Costa Rica.

The home is beautiful and easily accommodated our group of nine. The pictures truly do not do the property justice—it is even better in person. The kitchen was well equipped, the furniture was comfortable, and the décor was very nice. The outdoor pool and entertainment area were perfect for relaxing and socializing. There is also a convenient walking path right next to the house that leads to the beach in less than five minutes, and several great local restaurants are within walking distance. One suggestion is to bring your own pool rafts, as the house only provided two noodles. The listing advertises a “house mom” who prepares breakfast, washes dishes, and tidies the home daily. We used this service for the first two days of our stay and initially enjoyed it. However, within the first two days, some members of our group discovered money missing from their rooms. While we cannot confirm exactly what happened, it made us uncomfortable and we chose to decline further cleaning services

We also invite guests to review our other reviews across this and our managed properties, where our dedication to service and guest satisfaction is consistently reflected. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Casa Prana.

Casa Prana was a spectacular home and perfectly situated next to the beach. The amenities at the home including the pool, sauna and cold plunge were heavily utilized and we enjoyed breakfasts with Nancy and delicious dinners by Chef Brown Skin (arranged with the help of CRC) who went above and beyond to take into account food allergies of our guests. We enjoyed our stay so much we barely left the home! Would return again happily!

It was great to stay for a large group. It  was very clean and everyone had their own bathroom. Lots of great amenities and the furniture is beautiful. You can walk to breakfast 0.8 miles away for coffee and food. Host is super nice and set up decorations for us.

Wonderful stay! The house is absolutely gorgeous and was very comfortable. They really thought of everything as far as appliances and handy kitchen equipment! The staff was great too! Nancy was amazing and made excellent breakfast. Nicol  was awesome and helped arrange the best massages we’ve had in a while. Thanks!

Came here with a rowdy group of girls for my bachelorette and would book again in a heartbeat! The staff and everybody we interacted with was so kind and accommodating, they made us feel right at home and were able to jump in & assist with last minute transportation, groceries, etc. The property itself was absolutely stunning! Peaceful, modern, pristine, and just overall everything we could want. I can't thank these women enough for making my once in a lifetime trip with all my best friends go a smoothly as it did. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Book this place immediately, you won't regret it!

Wow. Casa Prana and the CR Concierge Team did not disappoint. Nancy was the most wonderful constant to our trip. She prepared beautiful breakfasts every morning and kept the house spotless. Our kids adored her. Nicol with the concierge team was incredibly helpful and communicated flawlessly. The house was absolutely spotless and outfitted with everything we needed. It would have been nice to have more baby items such as a high chair. It was a very short walk to the beach, restaurants and we felt we didn’t need to rent a car as everything was walkable. Wifi worked great. We would love to return to Casa Prana again, especially if under management by the female led CR Concierge Team

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful stay at Casa Prana. Nancy and Nicol will be so happy to know they helped make your trip special—especially knowing your kids adored Nancy! We truly appreciate the feedback about baby items and will keep it in mind. We’d love to welcome you back again anytime. Warm regards, the CR Concierge Team ✨

Casa Prana was a dream.  Steps to the beach - beautiful home and comfortable space.  We loved the fancy coffee bar and the amazing pool and outdoor setup.  Nancy was our house mom - she was the best.  Having her make us breakfast every day was such a luxury.  Would absolutely recommend and stay there again.

This property was exactly as described. The surrounding area is very peaceful, though it’s quite far from nightlife. That said, there are several restaurants within walking distance, and most of the food and drinks we tried were great. The beach is beautiful and just a very short walk from the house. The only real issue we experienced was with ants, as they were everywhere. When I first mentioned it, I was told this was normal for the area, but the next day we were informed the house needed to be fumigated. We were able to leave during the process, but there was a very strong odor when we returned hours later. Another minor inconvenience was checkout. They couldn’t accommodate a one-hour late checkout, but they did allow us to leave our bags while we found something to do. Overall, everything was beautiful, and I would definitely return.

House was incredible, well appointed. Location is perfect. The best part of our stay was having Nancy, the house mom who made us breakfast in the morning. She was there by 7 am, cleaned washed towels and made beds. She was awesome! The home is in walking distance to many restaurants. Rip jacks was our favorite. Do not hesitate to book this home!

This beautiful home exceeded our expectations! Gorgeous and comfortable with plenty of en-suite bedrooms and space to gather as a family. We really enjoyed the patio and pool. Everything in the home is top quality and it was well stocked with appliances and some basic ingredients to make it extra comfortable. The location a few steps from the beach was ideal! And we were pleasantly surprised to find good restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely recommend!

the host was very responsive and the home itself is beautiful. We were able to book all our excursions with transportation through the Host, which made our stay even more enjoyable. It's a 5 minute walk from the beach and it's a very quiet area. The area is secluded so there is not a lot to do in the area after nightfall.

Kara is amazing. I would definitely stay here again. Five minute walk to the beach. The house is gorgeous and the deck and pool and workout area are so great. Highly recommend.

Casa Prana exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place is something special. The property is stunning—beautifully designed, impeccably maintained, and even better than the photos. Every detail felt thoughtful and intentional, creating a relaxing and luxurious experience. What truly sets Casa Prana apart was Mary and the concierge team. Also, our house mom Nancy was nothing short of amazing. They went above and beyond in every way—responsive, friendly, and incredibly helpful with everything from recommendations to special requests. Their attention to detail and genuine care made the entire stay seamless and memorable. This was easily one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had. If you’re considering Casa Prana, book it—you will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to return.

This location is amazing, the house looks gorgeous ands everyone in our group loved it. The best part was the house mom, Nancy. She made us breakfast, kept the place looking great and was overall delightful. Highly recommend.

The house was spotlessly clean, stylish, and exactly as described. Communication with the host(Danielle) was excellent, making check-in a breeze. The house mom (Nancy) was amazing at keeping the home clean and prepping breakfast. The location is unbeatable for exploring the area. Will definitely come back another time.

It was a plesaure hosting! Hope to host you agian in the future! Pura Vida!

Amazing house, amazing service from everyone. The house is super confortable and its great for families.

Most Beautiful Air BNB I have ever stayed at!! Comes with house mom!!! Was great!!!

Hola Angie!!! It was a pleasure to have such a fun and nice group like yours! We hope to see you in the future!!! Dani!!!

This house was above and beyond what we expected! Everything about this trip was amazing the house felt like we were in a movie. Playa Grande is our new favorite location in Costa Rica the bars and restaurants were walkable, we rented boogie boards and beach toys literally across the street from the house. The waves were unbelievable. Make sure and take the estuary canoe tour with Jonathan we saw so many monkeys and crocodiles! But back to the house - if you are considering booking please don’t hesitate. Book it now. Nancy our house mom was so wonderful and made delicious gallo pinto and plantains. I don’t know what else to say but WOW!!

Hola Dominique, we are so happy to have this amazing review from you! we would like to thank you for staying with us and spend your important vacations in our property! We really hope to see you in the future!! Regards, Dani

Everything was spectacular, we'll be back soon!

Todo espectacular, vamos a volver pronto!

The house is very nice and the service is perfect

La casa muy linda y el atención perfecto

The availability of the Concierge staff was perfecto! Our questions were quickly responded too and always helpful. The walkability to town, restaurants, and the beach, were great! Transportation to and from airport, and other locations were reliable, safe and enjoyable.  We'll stay again.

Casa Prana was absolute paradise. We just got back from an amazing trip to Costa Rica, and this house made the entire experience next-level. From the moment we arrived, everything was flawless—luxury at every turn. The beds and linens were unbelievably comfortable, the outdoor space and pool area were to die for, and the coffee setup was unreal—perfect for those early mornings before surfing or fishing. The house had everything we needed and more. It felt like every detail was carefully thought out, making it the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy every second. If you’re headed to Costa Rica and want to do it right, Casa Prana is it!

thank you for such a nice review! we really appreciate it!! I so happy that you liked our place! we hope to have you back with us!!!

What a wonderful place that was perfect for our large group of 10. The backyard with the pool was the highlight! Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom which was great. The concierge attended to any issues we had very quickly. Within walking distance to the beach and some nice coffee shops! The road to get there is a bit rough so just recommend an SUV or cross. Would highly recommend to others!

Amazing stay, I would come back here again in a heart beat. The pictures on air bnb don’t do it justice the place is better in person and the staff is amazing. Highly recommend.

This is by far the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had. The house itself is exceptionally built with high quality materials, gorgeous furniture, and well maintained fixtures and appliances. The location is just a short walk to the beach and is quite unbeatable. But what stood out to me most was the outstanding service. We had clear communication throughout the entirety of the stay. Any requests were immediately addressed. We also had a house mom who cooked breakfast and cleaned for us daily. This is not a regular Airbnb stay - It is more akin to a 5-star hotel stay with amenities, services, and quality of space. I will highly recommend this to anyone visiting Costa Rica and would absolutely stay there myself again.

Wow! Absolutely stunning home, in a great location, we didn’t want to leave. Four bedrooms upstairs and a bunk room downstairs, linens and beds felt brand new, great kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining, amazing pool and patio. Location was perfect! We rented surf boards/boogie boards from across the street, path to the beach is super cute, beach is not busy or touristy (just surfers and locals), great restaurants nearby. I recommend grocery shopping before arriving or getting them ordered by concierge. Only a little convenient shop nearby. We loved our stay and hope to return! Thank you.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful and spacious! The pool was perfect and it was an easy 3 min walk to a beautiful beach with restaurants near by. The staff was so friendly and responsive and helped with everything before and during our stay.  This house was an easy house to stay at with 2 families with kids.  We will definitely be coming back!

Paradise! We have already recommended to friends. Absolute perfection. Cannot wait to go back.

We loved our stay and would definitely return! The concierge was very helpful and lots of cute little restaurants nearby to check out.

Wonderful home and perfect for two families.

Casa Prana was wonderful!  Beautiful and clean.  Bedrooms were perfect for our crew, the kitchen and living area were spacious.   The outdoor living area was wonderful -- with the floating bed and pool.  Daniela was very helpful in coordinating our transportation and our ATV tour.  We will be back!

Hello Chanely, Thank you for your review. May I inquire please what it is about the location of Casa Prana that you decided on 4 star? Thank you, Brooks

The house exceeded expectations! The space was absolutely beautiful, amazingly decorated and super clean. Easy walk to the beach, and there are stores and restaurants within walking distance. The house came with a "house mom" who helped clean the house, and concierge Cecilia was extremely responsive and helpful the whole time. I would 100 percent stay at Casa Prana again, definitely recommend it!

Thank you for your lovely review Roberto! I am so happy you had a pleasant stay. All the best, Brooks

Casa Prana was everything we hoped for and more! The house itself is beautiful and clean. Practically brand new! It is beautifully decorated and well maintained. Cecilia, the host, was extremely responsive and welcomed us on the first day. Everything ran smoothly including transportation and the massages we received at the house. The trail to the beach was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The walk to the beach takes about 2 minutes. The beach itself is beautiful and not crowded at all. There were stores and restaurants within walking distance. I would 100 percent stay at Casa Prana again. It is perfection!

One of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed at. And I’ve stayed at a lot. It was even BETTER than its photos, and that never happens. Every little detail was perfection. The craftsmanship of this house was impeccable. And the SERVICE!! This came with a “house mom” who helped clean and make breakfast every morning and then our LOVELY concierge Ceci, who set up all of our transportation, excursions, everything. She was amazing and made the whole experience. Will definitely be back. This was a GEM of a find :)

Thank you so much a Kimber! Happy New Year!!!
