2BR house in Playa Grande

Private House and Pool - 5 min from the Beach - Houses for Rent in Playa Grande, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

The house was very clean at our arrival and Vie-la vacation concierge has been supportive and available when needed. The house was corresponding to the description. I Will rent the villa again without any problem. All activities from Playa Grande are very close from the Villa.

The accommodation was quite good. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious, with large and pleasant bathrooms. One of the showers slopes outward and causes the floor mat to get wet or the rest of the bathroom floor to get very wet. The access was very simple and the place is very nice. We loved the grill for cooking some grilled items in the evenings. Very helpful. The kitchen has all the necessary appliances for a stay like at home. The washing machine needs maintenance. It makes a very loud noise during the spin cycle, and that's annoying. The pool is spacious and very nice. It needed to be vacuumed. There is sediment at the bottom. The beds are very comfortable, but the pillows are thicker than recommended, and if you're not used to it, your neck will be sore the next day. We had a problem with one of the bathrooms. The toilet faucet wasn't turned off, so the water in the tank was used up and we ran out of water the last night.

El alojamiento estuvo bastante bien. Las habitaciones son muy cómodas, amplias, con baños amplios y agradables. Una de las duchas tiene un desnivel hacia afuera y ocasiona que se moje la alfombra de los pies o que se moje mucho el resto del piso del baño. El acceso fue muy sencillo y el lugar es muy agradable. La parrilla nos encantó para cocinar algunas cosas asadas durante las noches. Muy útil. La cocina tiene todos los implementos necesarios para una estadía como en casa. La lavadora necesita mantenimiento, hace un ruido muy fuerte cuando está en el ciclo de centrifugado y eso molesta. La piscina es amplia y muy agradable. Le faltó que alguien la aspirara, mantiene sedimento en el fondo. Las camas son muy cómodas pero las almohadas son más altas que lo recomendado y si no estás acostumbrado te molesta el cuello al otro día. Tuvimos un problema con uno de los baños. No cerró la llave del sanitario y se consumió el agua del tanque y nos quedamos sin agua la última noche.

The first place we have gone to, and everything is exactly as in the pictures. The host responded quite quickly. A dream of a place!

El primer lugar que hemos ido y todo es exactamente igual que en las imágenes, el anfitrión respondió bastante rápido, un sueño de lugar!

Very comfortable house, with all the necessary accessories. The A/C worked very well. The pool is small but sufficient for cooling off and relaxing. Playa Grande is a 5-minute drive away, and Playa Minas and Playa Real are about 25 minutes away. There are several supermarkets, bakeries, and restaurants within a few minutes drive.

Casa muy cómoda, con todos los accesorios necesarios. Los A/C funcionaron muy bien. La piscina es pequeña pero suficiente para refrescarse y relajarse. Playa Grande está a 5 minutos en carro, y Playa Minas y Playa Real a unos 25 minutos. Hay varios supermercados, panaderías y restaurantes a pocos minutos en auto.

The accommodation is exactly as shown in the photos, perfectly clean and comfortable. By car you can visit many nearby beaches.

El hospedaje es todo lo que muestran las fotos, perfectamente aseado y cómodo, en carro puedes visitar muchas playas cercanas.

Just got back from 5 days in this magical villa. It is a true gem, feels like home and the pictures don't do it justice. The outdoor pool is incredible and fully private and refreshing. The patio has perfect shade for resting, grilling, enjoying the sunset. The kitchen is fully stocked and was spotless. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious. The villa is close to tons of restaurants, the beach is a few minutes' drive and is breathtaking. The host responded immediately to any question I had and the check in instructions were extremely helpful and on point. Thank you for an incredible vacation and for lifelong memories!

The property is absolutely beautiful, modern, and the private pool was fantastic. And, the host was extremely responsive. The infrastructure in the area can be unpredictable; we lost power and water during our stay. Because the front gate is electric, we were temporarily locked inside the compound without cell service when the power went down. The hosts were incredibly responsive and worked quickly to help resolve the issues, and everything else about the house was great. Beautiful place, just come prepared for potential local utility outages!

House was super clean! Walking distance from a few of the small restaurants in the area. Host was very responsive. Will definitely return!

This air bnb was genuinely perfect for my friends and I - it’s got several security features that made us feel safe, all amenities that worked, and had big open rooms. The pool was one of the best features due to its cleanliness (cleaned twice a week). Would stay here again 10/10

Was a wonderful stay at this home. The hosts were very helpful and it was very enjoyable

Great place, closed to fruit market, bakery, restaurants and beach.

Great place to stay. It’s near local beaches like Tamarindo and has a lot of grocery stores nearby. Some appliances like the coffee machine are older and need to be replaced but no big issues. Kitchen is great for home cooked meals. 100% recommend!

Thank you Josue for your kind review and for recommending our home! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the location, the nearby beaches, and the kitchen for preparing home-cooked meals. We also appreciate you pointing out the older coffee machine. We are continuously working on improving the property, and we’re already addressing those small details to enhance the guest experience. In fact, a new coffee machine will be in place for our upcoming guests. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We hope to welcome you back on your next visit.

This place was the perfect weekend getaway to celebrate a birthday! From the thoughtful birthday decorations to the outdoor shower and pool, every detail was amazing. The host communicated exceptionally well throughout our stay and truly made us feel welcome and at home.

Thank you so much for a beautiful stay! The host was always so helpful and communicative! We couldn’t have asked for anything more!!! We really loved the location as it was a 6 minute drive to the beach and along the way there were tons of places to eat and get groceries. We can’t wait to be back to visit. Thank you again so much!

My and wife spent a few nights here and loved it. The space was private and the area was quiet which perfect start to our vacation. The unit was super chic and a highlight for us was being able to open the sliding doors, turn on the basketball game and watch from the swimming pool. Although this is a walkable location, you might appreciate having rental vehicle or atv. Great spot and will return someday.

We really enjoyed this stay! The home was beautiful, clean and met all of our needs.  Great outdoor space with a pool where we could relax and enjoy the sounds of nature.    Close proximity to many beaches and only 2 km to Playa Grande beach.  The town has many wonderful places to eat and overall just great vibes.  Host was  super fast at communicating anytime we reached out.  Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this home. It was safe, beautiful, and very well kept—everything felt comfortable and thoughtfully maintained. As a family of four, we had everything we needed and truly felt at home throughout our stay. The location was also great, with a restaurant right on the corner and just a short drive to Tamarindo and other fantastic spots to explore. Our host was wonderful—responsive, kind, and attentive to all of our needs. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Great 7-day stay! The place is clean, modern, and just a short walk to the beach. Really good value for the location and quality. Would definitely stay again.

Incredible host who was attentive, responsive, and laid out a bunch of local recommendations (beaches, restaurants, night-life, etc.). Place was just as described and was even better than the photos — and it was incredibly clean when we arrived! Would gladly stay here again or at one of their other rental spots, and would strongly recommend to friends and family!!

The house is beautiful and the location in Playa Grande is great. Overall we had a nice stay and enjoyed Costa Rica. Unfortunately there was a water outage during our stay which was very inconvenient, especially since we had a photoshoot scheduled that afternoon and couldn’t even shower beforehand. The host did respond and tried to bring water from a neighboring property, which we appreciated, but it still made that day quite stressful. Aside from that, the home itself was lovely.

House was amazing! Vie-La was great host! Local recommendations and any questions we had they responded right away!

Host was extremely responsive. Clean, comfortable with everything you'd need. Pool was relaxing.

It’s a wonderful accommodation and exceptionally clean.

Five stars all the way! This Airbnb in Playa Grande was spotless and felt incredibly comfortable from the moment we walked in. The location is perfect — an easy walk to the beach with beautiful views, and ideal if you’re into surfing. The host was extremely accommodating and helpful, making sure everything went smoothly and that we had what we needed. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Hello, the house is beautiful and very well equipped, everything worked perfectly.  It was very helpful to have a washing machine and lots of kitchen utensils and personal toiletries. I recommend this beautiful house for an excellent stay.

Hola la casa es hermosisima y muy bien equipada, todo funciono a la perfeccion.  Nos sirvio mucho que tuviera lavarropa y muchos utensillos de cocina y cosas de aseo personal. Recomiendo esta hermosa casa para tener una excelente estadia.

If there had been beach chairs available it would have been good because the beach located 5 minutes away did not offer any rentals

S’il y avait eu des chaises de plages disponible ça aurait été bien car la plage situé à 5 minutes n’offrait aucune location

The house is wonderful, as shown in the photos. Super equipped, there is nothing missing. It has everything, an excellent location to visit different beaches without going far. We really enjoyed the comfort that this house has and we will definitely be back… We loved it, super safe, intimate… very clean and nice… Highly recommended…

La casa es maravillosa, tal cual como se muestra en las fotos. Súper equipada, no hay algo que haga falta.. Tiene todo, excelente ubicación para visitar diferentes playas sin alejarse mucho. Disfrutamos muchísimo la comodidad que esta casa tiene y sin duda volveremos… Nos encantó, súper segura, íntima.. muy limpia y linda… Muy recomendada…

We just finished a 5 day stay at Casa Rider and it was incredible. The home is beautiful and they had everything we needed to make our stay unforgettable. The host unbelievably responsive and helpful. We had the ability to entertain our local family for dinner a couple nights as the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and the kids loved the pool. The location is great , safe , quiet and close to everything we had planned for our vacation. We were so impressed we are already looking at staying again for our nieces quinceañera in September.

It is very well equipped, close to Playa Grande and very comfortable. I would come back.

Está muy bien equipada, cerca de Playa Grande y muy cómoda. Volvería.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Costa Rica. The home was immaculate and clearly well cared for. The host was very responsive and provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions from start to finish. They also offered thoughtful recommendations for the area, which really enhanced our experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Space is new and very clean. Exceeded our expectations. We felt very comfortable and safe.

Unterkunft ist neu und sehr sauber. Hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl und sicher.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. It was very clean and very nice to enjoy the house. The city was nearby. However, our arrival was complicated since we did not have the right code to access the house keys. We were in communication with the host to let them know about the issue, but we tried the wrong code for 30 minutes before the host realized the code had been changed during the day. Despite this, everything else went smoothly! We recommend the house.

Globalement, nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. C’était très propre et très agréable de profiter de la maison. La ville était à proximité. Toutefois, notre arrivée a été compliquée puisque nous n’avions pas le bon code afin d’avoir accès aux clés de la maison. Nous étions en communication avec l’hôte afin de lui indiquer le problème, mais nous avons tenté le mauvais code pendant 30 minutes avant que l’hôte réalise que le code a été changé dans la journée. Malgré cela, tout le reste s’est déroulé comme un charme! Nous recommandons la maison.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The property was beautiful, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was incredibly kind and attentive — truly a 5-star experience all around. While the concierge service could have been better, the host’s exceptional communication and hospitality more than made up for it. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to returning in the future!

We loved the property here! The house and kitchen were great. Nothing beats using the grill and pool in the back, especially with the fenced in and private back yard. I’d highly recommend this Airbnb for a smaller family, it’s more oriented towards them than somebody who is looking to be in walking distance of town.

Great place, loves every second of it. Would for sure recommend and will return no doubt

This gorgeous rental is tucked away in a private area of Playa Grande. It’s immaculately clean! The pool is such a nice addition. We used it every day! The house has everything you could need, even laundry detergent. The house feels very safe. It has its own electric gate with code and home alarm system. The A/C works great and the beds were comfortable. I would definitely stay again!

Everything perfect, i’ll be back soon for sure!!

This place was absolutely stunning! I would recommend and I will rent again !  My family and I were extremely comfortable and pleased with all this home has to offer.

What a great stay! Directions for check in were very easy to follow and the house was clean and ready for us with a couple cold waters and beers in the fridge! We could hear howler monkeys in the morning, so many amazing birds all day, and geckos running around outside. The pool was a perfect temperature at both 7:00am and 10:00pm. We felt very safe during our whole stay, too.

100% recommended, the house is just as shown in the photos and is very comfortable for 4 people. We loved it and nothing else is needed!!

100% recomendado, la casa es tal y como se ve en las fotos y es muy comoda para 4 personas. Nos encanto y no se necesita nada mas!!

This was our first trip to CR and I am so happy we chose this Airbnb! It’s even more beautiful and spacious in person than it appears in pictures. Everything was clean and the host was so responsive with different requests we had, helped with transportation to/from the airport, to dinner in a different town and an excursion. My 18 month old loved the pool and felt right at home too. We stayed 8 days and I wish we could’ve stayed longer. Playa grande has become so special to us and we can’t wait to come back ❤️

An absolute beautiful home that is a perfect distance from the beach. Walkable but definitely better if you have a car. The house was spotless and the host offers amazing suggestions for everything you might need while visiting.

In a word - perfecto! We felt that we’d hit the jackpot pulling into this beautiful Playa Grande property. Immaculately clean, fantastic location in an up and coming area. The nearby restaurants were great, and the staff super nice. There’s a really sweet Brazilian bakery we walked to one more for fresh pastries. The hosts were SO responsive and very sweet. Staying here Playa Grande was your perfect end to the best trip.

Beautiful home, safe and secure, clear communication

A very nice and private house. What it looks like in the photos. The location is very good and the nearby restaurants are very good.

Una casa muy linda y privada. Cómo se ve en las fotos. La ubicación muy bien y los restaurantes cerca muy ricos.

Place looked exactly like the pictures. Host was accommodating and helpful! Amenities was great had everything I needed and more. Location was great with a car was able to do everything I wanted to do! Beaches, restaurants, and clubs being only around  5-30 mins away. Will definitely come back!!!

Property was exactly as advertised and it's very near the beach at Playa Grande. Communication was great and we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for being great hosts and sharing your property with us.

We had an unforgettable stay at this amazing Airbnb! The house was absolutely perfect, and the pool was a total hit with everyone. Just a short walk to a fantastic restaurant and a quick drive to more dining spots and the beach. The peaceful, tucked-away vibe made it an ideal family getaway. Highly recommend this gem for a relaxing and fun vacation! We will definitely be back!!

I really enjoyed my stay here.. it honestly felt like a home away from home. The space was super clean, modern, and cozy, which made it easy to relax and feel comfortable. The host was so attentive and polite, always making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-kept place to stay!

Absolutely five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The house was spotless, cozy, and had every amenity we could possibly need. The pool was a huge hit—clean, relaxing, and perfect for enjoying the beautiful weather. The location was super convenient, close to everything we needed, yet still felt private and peaceful. Everything worked perfectly and we had zero issues during our stay. Highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Very nice, comfortable and clean stadium! Very friendly and attentive host I would stay here again

Estadia muy linda, cómoda y limpia! Anfitriona muy amable y atenta volveria a hospedarme aqui

We had a fantastic stay! The home was modern, spotlessly clean, and perfectly suited for our family of five. The open-concept layout made it feel spacious and welcoming, while still being cozy and private. The detailed “house handbook” provided everything we needed to know—clear, comprehensive, and incredibly helpful. The location was ideal: a short, easy walk to the beach, with great restaurants and local spots all around. The pool was a hit with the whole family—fun, relaxing, and never crowded. We also felt very safe thanks to the secure premises. Our host was amazing—responsive, thoughtful, and proactive throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely return. Highly recommended!

Clean and very nice place, just like the photos, clear instructions and a lot of availability for everything! Perfect stay ❤️

Lugar limpio y muy bonito, tal cual las fotos, instrucciones claras y mucha disposición para todo! Estadía perfecta ❤️

Excellent place, super clean space, the house is the same as the photos in the app, close to supermarkets, restaurants and the beach! 100% recommended

Excelente lugar, espacio super limpio, las casa igual a las fotos de la aplicación, cerca de supermercados, restaurantes y de la playa! Recomendado al 100

Hello, the accommodation exceeded all our expectations, comfort in every sense. As for the physical space it is the same (even better) as in the pictures. The place where it is located is quiet, but at the same time it has many attractions nearby. But, what I would most like to highlight is the attitude of the hosts, they were attentive to everything and helped us at all times (with quick and timely responses). We'll definitely be back, it's a 5-star home worth going and repeating.

Hola, el alojamiento superó todas nuestras expectativas, confort en todo sentido. En cuanto al espacio físico es igual (incluso mejor) que en las fotos. El lugar donde se localiza es tranquilo, pero a la vez tiene muchas atracciones cerca. Pero, lo que más quisiera destacar es la actitud de los host, estuvieron atentos a todo y nos ayudaron en todo momento (con respuestas rápidas y oportunas). Definitivamente volveremos, es un alojamiento de 5 estrellas que vale la pena ir y repetir.

Very pleasant stay at Casa Rider. Super clean and comfortable (incl. the beds), with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

My stay at this house was exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by its modern and elegant design. The house is immaculately equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay: full kitchen, spacious spaces, and decor that combines style and functionality. Also, the location is perfect, in a quiet but accessible neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this place to any traveler looking for a quality experience. I would come back without hesitation!

Mi estancia en esta casa fue excepcional. Desde el momento en que llegué, quedé impresionado por su diseño moderno y elegante. La casa está impecablemente equipada con todo lo necesario para una estancia cómoda: cocina completa, espacios amplios y una decoración que combina estilo y funcionalidad. Además, la ubicación es perfecta, en un vecindario tranquilo pero accesible. Sin duda, recomendaría este lugar a cualquier viajero que busque una experiencia de calidad. ¡Volvería sin dudarlo!

great place felt very private and close to the beach.

Was a great time, great host and clean service, sooo secure, definitely we will repeat it 🤗

We really loved our stay at this property. The accommodation and the terrace are very intimate, the spaces well thought out, everything was perfect!!!! The space and pool is super beautiful and clean. The host is very responsive. The accommodation is well located, we enjoyed being in a quiet environment.

Nous avons vraiment adoré notre séjour dans ce logement. Le logement et la terrasse sont très intime, les espaces bien réfléchis, tout était parfait !!!! Le logement et la piscine est super beau et propre. L’hôte est très réactif. Le logement est bien situé, nous avons apprécié être dans un environnement calme.

Excellent service, attentive host, very private, nice and comfortable place. In addition to being accessible, I highly recommend it

excelebte atención, anfitrión siemore atento lugar muy privado bonito y comodo. ademas de accesible, super recomendaso

The house is beautiful. We felt very safe and relaxed and used the pool many times a day. Restaurants and shops are 3-15 min walk away. Beach is 5 min drive. The booklet was very informative and helpful. We loved our holiday and appreciated the responsive staff.

The house is new and modern, with a beautiful private pool! It is located very close to the "Playa Grande" beach. Everything is positive, except for the internet connection, which is not always stable.

La maison est neuve et moderne, avec une belle piscine privée! Elle est située tout près de la plage « Playa Grande ». Tout est positif, à l’exception de la connexion Internet, qui n’est pas toujours stable.

We just had the pleasure of staying here for a total of 6 nights. It was one of the best places we have stayed at. Everything was super simple to follow, from finding the place to turning the alarm on/off. The place was super clean and so was the pool. Host was always responsive. My family and I are so excited to come back and visit.

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The hosts were incredibly communicative and responsive, making the entire experience seamless. The house was spotless and in a perfect location just a short distance from the beautiful Playa Grande. The neighborhood felt very safe, and it was the ideal place to unwind after a day at the beach. The outdoor area was a great bonus, allowing us to relax and even enjoy a barbecue in the evenings. If you’re looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and convenient place to stay, I highly recommend this Airbnb!

The best place to stay in Playa Grande. Outstanding service and very friendly. Thanks Courtney for being a great host. The house is very nice and clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and dining rooms. We definitely plan to come back!

El mejor lugar para hospedarse en playa Grande. Excelente atención y muy amigables. Gracias Courtney por ser una gran host. La casa muy bonita y limpia, con cocina y comedores bastante equipados. Definitivamente pensamos volver!

We enjoyed this place, it was clean and had everything we needed. We rented mini bikes from Playa Granda rentals and they were perfect. Able to get to the beach and see so much, would highly recommend. The only downside was a lot of construction was taking place while we were there. Lots of noise. But we felt save and the locals were very friendly.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Courtney’s place! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded my our expectations. The home was spotlessly clean, exceptionally well equipped, and incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail was evident, from the cozy bedding to the well-equipped kitchen, making it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect – close to restaurants and Playa Grande, yet in a peaceful setting that allowed for a relaxing stay. The outdoor space/pool was an added bonus and made our visit even more enjoyable. Courtney was an exceptional host - communicative, friendly, and always ready with great recommendations. Their hospitality truly made our stay memorable. If you’re looking for a comfortable, stylish, and well-located* place to stay, look no further. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone considering to visit the region.

The house is absolutely beautiful; everything feels fresh and functions wonderfully. The pool is truly a standout feature, and the sense of privacy and spaciousness it offers is just perfect. I really appreciated the clear communication and directions to reach the house, making the arrival process so easy. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Plus, the beach nearby is simply gorgeous!

The Vie-La team were fantastic! They were helpful, very responsive and accommodating. The house is brand new and spotless! We loved the pool and all the safety features. Great location in Playa Grande.
