Villa in  Playa Grande

The location was amazing. The home was beautiful and well kept and clean. Just a short walk and you’re on a beautiful beach. Lots of wildlife. The air-conditioning was truly amazing. It felt very secure and safe. Very close to Playa grande and that cute little beach town vibe. About 45 minutes or less to Tamarindo, which was also amazing and fun if you want a little more nightlife and energy. we would definitely rent this home again.

Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed the location, the wildlife, and the comfort of the home. It is wonderful to hear that you felt secure and had such a pleasant time exploring the area. We hope to host you again sometime.

Casa Tres Cocos ruined every other beach house for us. Family of five, three teenagers, one week in Playa Grande. Barefoot to the ocean and secluded beach from back gate. The pool was enjoyed daily, and between the main house and the casita, everyone got their own corner. Spotless, spacious. Krain's concierge service was amazing. Localbird arranged nearly everything before and during the trip — groceries delivered for lazy mornings, excursions booked, zero guesswork. It made a big family trip actually relaxing. Note for future visitors - the top-view photos make it appear to be a compound made up of multiple buildings. You have a neighbor next door, but no issues there! The main house is accompanied by a pool house they call the "casita" that is a private bedroom & bathroom. Also note water shortages/outages are common in this rural area. The house's water system can be depleted but not for long. It's part of the lifestyle here. Krain is responsive and warm. Pura vida. 🌴

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We're glad Casa Tres Cocos provided a peaceful and enjoyable setting for your family, and that the pool and concierge service added to your experience. We appreciate your helpful notes about the property and local water situation. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again sometime.

We loved our time at Casa Tres Cocos. Incredible location, responsive host...we came for a special occasion and the house did not disappoint. If you are looking for a spot that is private yet accessible, this is the place for you.

Thank you for your kind words. We’re glad the location and privacy suited your special occasion and that our responsiveness helped make your stay smooth. We hope to welcome you back again sometime.

We had a great stay as a party of 7. Loved and utilized all areas of the house. Host response times were timely and very helpful. Look forward to making a return trip!

Thank you very much! We're glad the house suited your group and that our responses were helpful. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

It was our second time back, and we love this house! It’s truly a special place, with the most beautiful beach so close to the back door, plenty of space for a large family gathering, and comfortable rooms for all. We will hope to be back again soon.

Thank you very much for your lovely review. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the house and the beautiful beach so close by. We look forward to having you stay with us again soon.

We had a wonderful stay and loved the proximity to the beach. We would recommend this home and the master bedroom upstairs was lovely.

Thank you very much! We’re glad the location and master bedroom met your expectations. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

We love this home!  The location is perfect if you want a quiet, secluded, beautiful spot on the beach.

Thank you so much. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the peaceful beachside setting and found the location perfect.

We love this place! We’ve been coming here for years! Couldn’t ask for a better location! Krain is so awesome and responsive with anything that is needed! 5 stars from us!!

Thank you so much for your continued loyalty and kind words. We’re really glad the location and our responsiveness have made your stays enjoyable. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon.

We loved our time in Costa Rica on Playa Grande.  The cove is so private - only a small handful of people on the beach at any given time.  The sunsets were beautiful - the waves amazing.  Our kids played in the ocean for hours.  Krain was very responsive when we had questions - I cannot recommend this location any more.  We are already planning our next trip!

Thank you very much for your kind review. We're glad you enjoyed the privacy, sunsets, and ocean with your family, and we appreciate your thoughtful feedback about the house details and pool timing. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

We went with our family, it was great, we really liked the house , plenty of space around the pool. Everything matched the description of the property. We where looking forward to stay in a house with walking distance to the beach.

Thank you for your review, Adela! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed the house, the pool area, and that everything met your expectations. It’s wonderful to hear the location worked well for you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.

We stayed for a full week celebrating my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary.  We had 3 couples that enjoyed the King rooms with en suite baths and 3 kids in the other two bedrooms sharing a hall bathroom.  The home fit us perfectly and was incredibly comfortable.  Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.  Indoor dining seated 10 and outside table seated 6.  The outdoor space was great, with ample outdoor, shaded seating (with fans), pool, outdoor bathroom & two showers (by pool and beach entrance).  A short, private path out the back led to a nearly private beach with incredible sunsets.  The sand was soft and you could walk out for a long ways into the surf. House came with coolers, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, sand toys, and snorkel gear.  House is a rare find on national park land (can no longer build there; the house was grandfathered in) so it is very peaceful and you feel a part of nature.  Get a 4x4 vehicle to get in/out!

Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review, Jen! We’re so glad to hear that the home was the perfect fit for your family’s special celebration. It’s great to know you enjoyed the spacious rooms, well-stocked kitchen, and the outdoor area, including the private path to the beach. We’re happy the beach amenities were useful for your activities, and we agree, the peacefulness of the location really makes it unique. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay in the future!

I have 2 different opinions about the property. First of all, Sthefanie's communication and service was first-class, super attentive and with almost immediate responses, she attended to each of our requests and agreed to our needs. Now on the other hand the property is beautiful with a perfect location but from my point of view there are things to improve. 1) The pool lights do not work and the jacuzzi does not maintain a low water level, and the skimmer filters have a bucket with holes, which shows maintenance problems. 2) showers with excess calcium as well as the coffemaker. 3) only 2 bathrooms had soaps and shampoo in the showers. 4) The room called the casita had an extreme musty smell.

Tengo 2 diferentes opiniones sobre la propiedad. En primer lugar la comunicación de Sthefanie y la atención fue de primera clase, súper atenta y con respuestas casi inmediata, atendió cada una de nuestras solicitudes y accedió a nuestras necesidades. Ahora por otro lado la propiedad es hermosa con una ubicación perfecta pero desde mi punto de vista hay cosas a mejorar. 1)Las luces de la piscina no funcionan y tampoco el jacuzzi le mantienen un nivel de agua bajo y como filtros en los skimmer tiene un balde con huecos, lo que evidencia problemas en el mantenimiento. 2) duchas con exceso de calcio al igual que el coffemaker. 3) únicamente 2 baños tenían jabones y champú en las duchas. 4) la habitación llamada casita, presentaba un extremo olor a humedad.

Muchas gracias por compartir tus comentarios tan detallados, Alejandra. Nos alegra saber que la comunicación y atención de Sthefanie fueron de primera clase y que pudimos responder a tus necesidades rápidamente. Por otro lado, lamentamos mucho que algunos aspectos de la propiedad no hayan cumplido completamente con tus expectativas. Agradecemos que nos hayas señalado las áreas que necesitan mejora, como las luces de la piscina, el jacuzzi, el mantenimiento de las duchas, y el suministro de jabón y champú en todos los baños. También tomaremos en cuenta el tema del olor a humedad en la casita para resolverlo lo antes posible. Tu opinión nos ayuda a seguir mejorando para ofrecer la mejor experiencia a nuestros huéspedes. Esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirte nuevamente y mostrarte las mejoras realizadas.

Wonderful house, location and communication! Will definitely return for a future visit!

Jeff, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the house, the location, and the communication. We can't wait to welcome you back for your future visit!

Amazing beach right outside the backyard!

Thank you for your great feedback, Adrienna! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the beach right outside the backyard. It’s truly a special spot, and we're glad you had the chance to experience it. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Fantastic location steps from a beautiful and secluded beach. Stay does require a 4x4 vehicle to get in and out but well worth the effort!

Thank you for your great review, Bruce! We’re so glad you enjoyed the fantastic location and the secluded beach. We agree, the 4x4 vehicle is definitely helpful for access, but the peace and beauty of the area make it all worthwhile! We hope to welcome you back for another amazing stay soon!

What an incredible place. The house was better than expected or imagined. The setup is perfect for 2 families with kids, or 3-4 couples. Downstairs on the main floor you have a masters suite, a bunk room, and a queen room with a bathroom to share with the bunk room. Great open kitchen and separate living/family room. The casita is a great master suite. Upstairs you find another master suite and office nook. Perfection. The house was secured and clean, amazing groundskeeper to clean pool every other day. The backyard is your own private beach, which is unreal. You can walk easily to Playa Grande shops and restaurants - but the kitchen and bbq is well suited for home cooking. Markets 10-15 minutes away for essentials. The host was wonderful, so kind and responsive. We will certainly be back!

Hi Austin, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Tres Cocos. Our team works hard to provide a memorable experience, and it's always rewarding to receive positive feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards,

The Management company was amazing. The home on the beach with the pool - perfect for families. I would have been happy staying at the house the entire time. We hired Chefs for several meals - and they were wonderful. We hired a babysitter and they were fabulous - all recommendations by Krain Management. Highly recommend.

Hi Kimberly, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at 3 cocos. Our team works hard to provide a memorable experience, and it's always rewarding to receive positive feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards,

This was the perfect house and perfect location for our vacation. We will be back.

The house and location were amazing!! The house was clean & the surroundings were kept clean. The beach was private and beautiful! If the price was cheaper we would visit this location again. The road to get to the house is pretty bumpy. The remote to the gate was very hit or miss. Upon arrival we were later in the day so we were not met with a host and never had any guidance of rules or anything given. We were told there were boogie boards on property there were not. All the rooms had black out shades minus the upstairs room and it got bright really early in the morning. I’d suggest to the host to add something to that high stair window. Check out was at 10 and we had cleaners waiting outside for 45 mins which is frustrating. My biggest complaint was the excursions. 3/5 of them had issues. We paid a lot of money for a massage that was not even close to what was described on the website. We were not told during the snorkeling we would have 2 boats separating families. Overall 6/10.

We had the best time at Casa Tres Cocos! The beach is just steps out the back gate with the most beautiful private setting. We used the pool multiple times a day and the yard with in perfect condition with lots of seating areas. The house was very clean and the host was very helpful. We walked to Frioles surf shop Easter morning and had the best service. We also walked the beach down to Playa Grande for dinner and surfing. It’s only about a 10 minute walk away from the house. On our last morning at the home, we walked the beach and found baby turtle tracks coming from a hole right by the house. It was magical! The beach feels very private with only six houses on the entire bay. We felt very lucky to be at such a beautiful place!

"Hi Lindsey, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Casa 3 Cocos. Our team works hard to provide a memorable experience, and it's always rewarding to receive positive feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards,

Simply stunning house and incredible location steps from the beach! It’s just as good or better than the photos. This beach is also wonderful. It feels almost private compared to many others in the area, and the sand and ocean here are beautiful. Watch out for strong waves! We loved them for bodysurfing and boogie boarding. We stayed here with 3 couples, one single, and a baby, and we had plenty of space and privacy. We did have an issue with the alarm going off for no reason, but Tony was able to resolve it fairly quickly. Thank you for a great stay!

Hello Anna, we are so happy you liked the property, and your stay was the best for you guys, we are always making improvements and new things on the house so it's stunning for our guests !! we hope to have you soon!!

Beautiful home in the perfect location.  Right on the beach, very large and comfortable home.

We had a wonderful stay and the property is absolutely beautiful!  The house was clean with modern furnishings.  The concierge was extremely professional, friendly and responsive.  And the property was absolutely stunning.  The pool, landscaping, outdoor furniture and most of all, the private beach access.  It is the prettiest beach we’ve ever seen and the sunsets were amazing!! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home!!

5 adults and 3 kids (4, 2, and 2) enjoyed our stay at Casa Tres Cocos. The property is one of a kind. We opted for a private chef to maximize our vacation and relaxation. Can’t say enough about Jonathan our private chef. Top notch. The pool was great, had everything for our little ones. Plenty of spots to rinse off after the beach. Speaking of the beach, it truly feels like you have your own entire private beach when you walk out the back gate. Words really can’t describe how peaceful it is. The kids and adults loved seeing all the crabs in their natural habitat. Plenty of space to spread out and not feel crammed. We could’ve easily fit another family as the upstairs wasn’t even used. Loved our stay, and hope to be back as our kids grow up. Pura Vida.

This house is amazing and as we called it the "jungle house" as it is secluded right on the water but in a dense jungle of trees and foliage. Lots of iquanas and crabs and other wildlife on the property daily which was a treat! The detached casita was perfect for the privacy of mom and dad while teenage kids had the bedrooms in the main house. The privacy of the location and beach are so welcome for a family coming from crowded Southern California. It was truly a private oasis. The local restaurants and "town" were about a 7 min easy drive on back roads that make you feel like you are on a private island somewhere. Restaurants were great and mellow and easy to access. I highly recommend this property...right on the beach with a private path from the backyard to the beach, fully private villa, and a very laid back vibe in the area.

Our private Krain concierge, Tony Gonzalez, was in touch with me well in advance of our travels. After our arrival, Tony personally guided our family to the property. He spent a significant amount of time going over everything that the property offered, the security, and local recommendations. Tony even took the time to come back the following day with more restaurant and local attraction recommendations. The property was absolutely fantastic! We wanted a low-key, relaxing and tropical vacation and this place has all of it. We were often the only people on the beach, making it feel extremely private. The pool and the backyard are some of the best features of this property. The house was strikingly clean, well-stocked, and beautifully decorated. We immediately felt at home! Krain brought another level of service to this stay with Tony in constant communication about how our vacation was going, if we needed anything, and absolute spot-on recommendations for things to do in Costa Rica!

This is a great place to vacation! It’s beautiful! Quick access to beach and close to town (you can walk there from the beach). The house is spectacular! It is on the pricy side but if you share with another family it’s more reasonable. We had a great stay here! Would love to come back and treat ourselves to another “lux” vacation

Our stay here was wonderful and the home and property were exactly as described on the website. It was so nice having our own path to the beach. There were 6 adults in our group and everyone was comfortable and able to have some privacy. We saw baby turtles on a night walk one evening, and a giant turtle slowly coming up from the surf on another night. Any questions about the property and restaurant recommendations were responded to quickly by Krain. I would recommend this property and would come here again!

Our stay was truly incredible. Tony, our host, was available to help and answer any questions. We arrived late in the evening, and he came to meet us the next morning. The property was exactly as described and perfect for our group of six adults. The beach is steps away from the house. There were a handful of people walking in the mornings and evenings, but otherwise, we essentially had the entire beach to ourselves. Restaurants, shops, groceries, and surf/beach supplies were a 5-10 minute drive. It isn't an unwalkable distance, but we appreciated having a rental car. Tony provided fantastic recommendations for local experiences and any type of activity we asked about. He kindly took care of booking all reservations and made those processes so simple. We did a sunset catamaran cruise, poolside massages with the therapists coming to our unit, and a river tour. Tony also let us know about a local rodeo taking place and helped us find the best ceviche.

This property is even better in person. If you’re looking for a secluded place to escape, this is it!

This place was perfect for our family.  We traveled with 3 adult children and a baby.  It was wonderful to lounge around the pool, walk to the beach (sweet path to get there) and easy to find.  The house had all we needed.  It is new and full of light, with black out curtains if you want to get extra rest.  We hope to go back soon. I would recommend this place to my friends.

You’re going to LOVE this place! Located in the middle of a national park, this home is absolutely spectacular. It’s very secluded-we rarely saw anyone and felt like we had a private beach—yet it’s close enough to town to easily visit nearby restaurants (with exceptional food!) with plenty of parking, if you feel like getting out. We also loved buying fresh fruit and vegetables at the street-side markets, and it was convenient to rent surfboards at a nearby shop. The beach access here is wonderful! You can walk right out from the house and have a beautiful beach to yourself, and with a short walk down the beach visit an incredible black sand beach. We enjoyed many quiet evenings watching the sun set over the ocean, which was absolutely stunning! The house also provides great beach chairs and umbrellas, along with plenty of beach towels, to make your stay convenient as possible. It’s easy to clean up with the outdoor shower before going back inside. We were also extremely happy with the house itself, which is not only spacious but newly renovated top to bottom. It’s well maintained and beautifully decorated, including high-quality furnishings that contribute to a classy but relaxing atmosphere. The house is spotless, with comfortable beds and linens. The entire house feels new and welcoming! Another highlight of our visit was the beautiful pool, which is very clean and nice. The backyard is well laid out and offers plenty of space to lounge and unwind while enjoying the stunning scenery. We could even see howler monkeys playing in the trees near the house —truly an amazing experience. We loved everything about these incredible accommodations and highly recommend a stay here! We will defiantly be back!

Great house with great location, just in front of the beach. Very well equipped with brand new furniture and decoration.

Great private location. Beautiful home and pool. Sunsets at the beach were spectacular. Rental agent was very responsive to our needs

Absolutely gorgeous designed and well stocked house on your own private beach! Perfect waves for body surfing and body boarding. If you want to surf go to the main break just down the beach. Having a pool house and 2 sets of washing machines made it easy when we had other couples staying with our family. No Tv in the master which was fine with us but some wouldn’t like that. The kitchen was well stocked and we cook and prepare all our own food. Nothing negative to report.

The house was very nice. It was well updated. Great pool. Great location to the beach, but quite far from any town. At least 20-30 minute drive to most restaurants. They gave good recommendations for activities in the area with better pricing for vendors then found online. The experience was great, but after our stay they came back with issues they were making us pay for things that we didn't not cause.  Small issues around the house were addressed except for sewage smell after use of showers in the house.

What a spectacular place! We are big nature/ocean lovers and this place delivered. Secluded location, in the middle of a National park. We literally had howler monkeys go right above our heads while in the back yard. Fantastic access to the ocean, amazing sunsets, killer pool and back yard. The house itself is secure and stunning. Has everything you need and designed beautifully. Oh and beds are very clean & comfortable which is a must!

Gorgeous place and location! Absolutely loved our time at Tres Cocos. Beautiful home, immaculately clean. Loved the decor. Spacious bathroom for each room. Spacious kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to dine in and make our own food. Enjoyed the BBQ grill and outdoor seating and pool (FYI...looks like there's a hot tub but it's not heated...but who needs heat in Costa Rica?). So close to the beach, crabs will sometimes walk up to the pool. Private beach access was unreal. Felt like we had several beaches and ocean to ourselves. 10 minute drive to restaurants and grocery stores and surf shops. About 30 minute drive to nearest city - Tamarindo. Great balance between privacy and access to shops, eating places, tourist stops, etc. Property manager was very responsive and accessible. Will definitely stay there again.

Our first visit to Costa Rica and it was a dream!  Had all the vibes of a luxurious resort in our own private space.  Beautifully decorated inside and out. Rooms were sparkling clean with comfortable beds, fresh linens and built in storage in closets that allowed us to unpack our luggage and feel right at home in paradise. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals and we also took advantage of eating at a few of the restaurants close by- both of which were very good. Being able to walk right out to the beach where there was rarely anyone else at all was incredible!  It was a dream beach for everyone- countless shells of all kinds and varieties for my husband the beach comber, and warm enough water for hours of boogie boarding and wave jumping for the kids and me. We carried our surf boards right around the point to catch some good waves and watch the experienced surfers do their thing. We also explored the other direction of the beach and were in awe of the pure black sand at Playa Carbon.  Loved being able to walk right back into the backyard to lounge pool side or even nap in the hammock after many hours on the beach. Got great sunset photos, saw diverse wildlife- even howler monkeys high up in the tree on a jog one morning. The set up would allow for several couples to have their own private sleeping spaces  so really hoping to make it here again in the future- perhaps without the kids.

An absolutely EPIC stay at Tres Cocos!  The house was spacious, beautifully decorated, well maintained and very clean.  The back yard is private, well secured and nicely landscaped.  We watched a family of howler monkeys pass by in the trees beyond the gate while relaxing by the pool.  If you walk a few steps through those trees you are met by a beautiful, soft sand beach that is great for swimming, and also happens to be a seasonal nesting ground for sea turtles.  If you walk a little ways north you will come upon tide pools made of volcanic rock and the most amazing black sand beach!  It was truly the perfect setting and everything that I had hoped for.  Besides this, the kitchen was well stocked and beach towels were never in short supply.  I loved that they had outside showers for removing excess sand after coming in from the beach and not one but TWO washers and TWO dryers!  I really can not say enough good things about this place.  Highly recommend!

Lots to say about this place (mostly good) to hopefully help future renters The Layout In the main house there are 3 bedrooms on the lower level - a second master king bed with dual vanity bathroom ensuite, a "kids room" with bunk beds and a 3rd bedroom with a queen - these two share a bathroom just across the hallway. Upstairs in the main house is a large master with king bed, ensuite, and balcony overlooking the pool area, it also has a bit of an office area. The stairs to the upstairs master are off the kitchen. Across the pool is a second free-standing building with a good sized 4th bedroom, queen bed en-suite. All rooms had AC that worked very well. The photos make the house seem bigger than it is but it's still a great size. Outside there is a laundry room and storage area as well as an outdoor shower and outdoor toilet. The Pros - The beach is 50' out the back gate and it's basically private. A dream. - The propane grill is brand new, a nice grill. - The kitchen is well stocked with lots of plates and glasses, new (and very sharp) knife set, plastic cups and plates for eating by the pool. Nice fridge, nice dishwasher. One of the best kitchens I've seen in an Airbnb - The house comes with beach chairs and boogie boards, and maybe beach towels? We used some towels that I think were beach towels at least. - There's plenty of outdoor furniture and sun loungers for 6-8 people. - AC worked great. As did the wifi, and no sustained power outages to speak of. The Cons - You are a bit isolated, nearest mini market and restaurant is a 20 min walk (El Huerto - amazing pizza), and a proper grocery store isn't in walking distance. I would bring groceries with you to make it easy. Wil-mart will deliver or is about a 7 minute drive. - I'm not sure the listing says it's a hot tub, I assumed it was a hot tub, it is not a hot tub. It bubbles but is not heated. - You're in nature, you will find some bugs and small crabs in the house. There's a blue heron that visited the pool area every night, as well as a couple of toads. I could also see this being a positive for some. - Toilets are a septic system - you cannot flush toilet paper. - Don't necessarily rely on the concierge for anything. The pool was never properly cleaned during our stay (it was dirty on our arrival) and the only service request I made to them - assistance booking a private chef one evening, was never responded to. Overall would I come back? Absolutely. Once you walk the short path through the trees out the back and emerge at that beautiful beach you'll understand why.
