5BR villa in Playa Grande

Luxury villa, just 4 minutes walk to the beach - Houses for Rent in Playa Grande, Cabo Velas District, Costa Rica

We had an amazing stay! Our host was extremely communicative and helpful from beginning to end. From coordinating our airport transfers to helping with excursions and making sure everything went smoothly, the communication was excellent. The house was absolutely beautiful, clean, spacious, and even better in person. It was the perfect place for our family vacation and made our Costa Rica experience even more special. 🌴 I truly appreciated how easy everything was from arrival to departure. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb and would absolutely stay here again!

Had a great stay at Carmit’s place. Location is very convenient and found ourselves easily able to get to nearby places within 30 mins. Carmit is also super responsive and a great host

When we got stuck due to a flight what better place to get stuck then in this airbnb such a beautiful home well equipped mins away from the beach a market and perfect for bigs groups sad we only stood here 2 days def book this villa 10/10

This house is incredible! I came with 12 of my friends and this home did not disappoint. The location is incredible, walking distance from everything, the pool is beautiful (fit all 12 of us!) and the backyard was perfect for all of us to hang out. What also made the whole experience really special was how amazing Carmit was. She helped organize everything, responded immediately to all of my questions, and provided us with amazing recommendations. A trip of a lifetime and a one of a kind home. We will definitely be returning hopefully every year :)

Let's just say, my family does a family trip every year, and this was our third time returning to Costa Rica, and Carmit's Airbnb was by far the best we've ever stayed in. The house is stunning, and the open concept really makes it feel like everyone is connected. The backyard views are stunning, and the pool is so enjoyable. Not to mention, Carmit was by far the best host we've ever experienced, she's so helpful, responsive, and willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure you have an amazing stay. I couldn't recommend her home enough, and we will absolutely be coming back to her house if we decide to come back to Costa Rica.

My daughter immediately said, “It’s like the Barbie Dreamhouse.” It was perfect for our family of 7, and everyone was sad to leave. The pool was clean, the beds were comfortable, the AC worked well, always had hot water, and the home felt brand new and perfectly clean. The kitchen was well equipped and laundry room was great. Neighborhood felt safe and secure, and lots of food options within walking distance. The TVs and AC in every room was a great bonus. Carmit, our host, was incredibly responsive, caring, and helpful. Would honestly plan a whole vacation around just this house without concern.

We had an amazing stay at Carmit’s place. The house was exactly what we were hoping for, and even better. The pool, mountain views, beach proximity, and overall atmosphere made for fantastic memories. We visited during the off-season, and it was absolutely worth it. The mix of sunshine and tropical rain gave the area a unique, lush atmosphere that we really enjoyed. Carmit was an excellent host: responsive, helpful, and always ready with great local recommendations and tour suggestions. A highlight that deserves more attention in the listing is the wildlife. We saw monkeys almost every day, along with colorful birds and even a tamandua. The monkeys moved through the trees around the property and sometimes across the roof. Watching them from the pool was unforgettable. They seemed accustomed to human presence, but always staying in the canopy, peaceful and harmless. We would happily come back and highly recommend this place. Thank you, Carmit! The Frenchies 🇫🇷🔥

We stayed at Casa Jaula and the experience was even better than we expected. My family and I were very happy throughout our stay. The space is truly beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained. It is also conveniently located near some of the best beaches in the area. We highly recommend Casa Jaula and would love to come back in the future.

Great stay in a wonderful property!  Noting that we booked with less than 24 hours since another AirBnB cancelled and left us stranded, we couldn’t have been better cared for.  Carmit was friendly, responsive and checked in daily to make sure we were ok.  The house itself was perfect for us - great hangout space in the kitchen and living room area, and flexibility to cook with appliances as described and an outdoor grill.  We absolutely loved the pool area - saltwater pool was spectacular.  And the crown jewel was the pristine beach just 5 mins walk away.  Our only regret is not being able to stay longer.  Overall, don’t hesitate just book - you’ll be glad you did!

We were 5 ladies visiting Costa Rica for the first time, and this home was perfect for our trip. Having 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms was a must, and the property exceeded expectations. The listing matched the home exactly—true 5-star luxury. The pool and outdoor space were beautiful, with great lighting, shaded lounging areas, stunning hill views, and amazing wildlife right outside—monkeys, iguanas, and so many birds. The location was ideal, close to the beach, surf shops, restaurants, a market, and Padoka Bakery (a must-visit!). Playa Grande was the perfect mix of fun and quiet, and the night guard added extra peace of mind. Carmit was an exceptional host—responsive, kind, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. Her recommendations, including Chef Dania, Alli for in Villa yoga and airport transportation, made our trip seamless and unforgettable. We’d return just because of Carmit. She truly sets the bar for Airbnb hosts!

The house is lovely and the location is a nice distance between some food options but still walkable to the main beach. Overall the house was solid, the bedrooms far apart to allow people space. The raccoons on the roof were a little bit noisy for the upstairs bedrooms. This is not a complaint but a fascinating thing to have to understand with the top 3 bedrooms. Pool was a nature view center as well with iguanas, birds and monkeys stopping by.  Lovely time and great host.

Carmit was an amazing host! She responded so quickly and took care of our every need! The house is stunning and super homey. Would definitely stay there again!

Carmit was excellent. She communicated right away and helped us with booking a chef. We did run out of water a couple times, but I think it was an issue with the pool. Overall the house was excellent and clean. The yard could use some tidying up especially area the pool.

This place was a dream inside and out! The only issue we had was arriving with the no water running in the house… but Carmit was very responsive when we came to her with the concern. She immediately sent someone out and helped. Great host and even better place:) our group of 10 absolutely enjoyed it!

Highly recommend this airbnb. The house and surroundings are beautiful. You can’t beat the location with many cafes / restaurants / markets nearby, and a short walk to the beach. It has all the basic necessities to make for a great stay. Carmit was a very responsive and helpful host as well. Would absolutely stay here again in the future!

Beautiful home in a great less developed (in a positive way) village. The proximity to restaurants and the beach was convenient and the sandy, beautiful beaches and warm waters were so inviting and a break from the hot sun. Carmit was a terrific owner host who responded very quickly to every question we had. The pool was beautiful but a little cloudy but was treated just before we left. No roosters crowing but we did have some raccoons and howler monkeys. The house was very spacious and lovely. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. Hot water in all the sinks. The AC mini splits kept us comfortable even when the temps outside were scorching. The pool area had a nice breeze and was shaded in the afternoons. We had a wonderful stay! Thank you, Carmit!

Carmit was very responsive and the home was exactly as we hoped. Certainly recommend.

Excellent location, 5 minutes from the beach, there are several restaurants nearby, and a supermarket that has everything less than 8 minutes away by car. The facade is well maintained, and the kitchen has the basics for cooking. A plus is that the host is super friendly and flexible. I would recommend the house 100%.

Excelente ubicación, a 5 minutos de la playa, hay varios restaurantes cerca, y un supermercado que tiene de todo a menos de 8 minutos en carro. La cara está bien cuidada, y la cocina tiene lo básico para cocinar. Un punto a favor es que la anfitriona es súper amable y flexible. Recomendaría la casa 100%.

Carmit was an exceptional host. She responded to all requests within minutes, providing an answer to all of our questions. One of our children left their special stuffy in the room on departure and Carmit went above and beyond to drop this off to people we knew to bring it home😊 This is our second time staying in Playa Grande and you cannot beat the location, just a few minutes walk to the beach. The home is beautiful with large glass windows and great views. There are locals who live next door but we never felt unsafe or disrupted in any way. For those travelling with young children, we were not aware that the two basement bedrooms are separate from the house with easy access to the pool (we possibly missed this in the listing). This would be a great option for those wanting some space away from the main area. We would love to travel back to visit Carmit’s place again and thank her for everything.

A very nice house, with beautiful details and very comfortable and central

Una casa muy linda, con detalles hermosos y muy cómoda y céntrica

Great place, really comfortable for a party of 5 couples, location is really handy with the beach at a walkable distance and the host really friendly and responsive to help up! Amazing place!

These are 5-star accommodations without a doubt. A beautiful home, definitely better than the pictures suggest. 5 amazing bedrooms each with amazing bathrooms. Pretty backyard with views of surrounding hills. A troupe of 10 howler monkeys came to visit a tree in the yard. A quick walk to a beautiful beach. Paradise... Carmit was an excellent host, very responsive. Very sad to leave.

This was a beautiful home in a great location just a short walk to the beach. Carmit was easy to communicate with and would always reply quickly. She helped us find a chef to prepare a delicious dinner for us the night of our arrival. She also had a contact who came to the house for massages and facials. The backyard pool was a popular spot for refreshing swims after the beach. The washer/dryer and the generous supply of beach towels were appreciated. The 5 bedroom/5 bathroom house was perfect for our multigenerational family group of 11.

Carmit was a great host, super easy to Communicate and very responsive! Trying always to help! With suggestions and everything! We had an incident with my son and she was checking with us all the time! The house is beautiful! And the location was perfect! Thank you

Perfect place to stay with family or friends 🙌🏻

Such a beautiful home and a great location to stay. Carmit was an amazing host. Definitely would love to stay here again!

Carmit's home was spectacular and we had an amazing time! Each room has it's own bathroom and the layout is great for a large group. The pool and outdoor area was so enjoyable with beautiful lighting throughout the entire home. We hired a couple private chefs because we didn't want to leave! The beach is so close and there are cute restaurants and shops walking distance. Fun, active yet private little town. Carmit was so helpful throughout the planning process and helped us find an incredible sound bath experience to come to the house. Incredible! The AC worked super well and we were always comfortable. I would love to visit this property and work with Carmit again when I come back to this magical Costa Rica gem!

Carmit is a fantastic host and the place is truly beautiful! Was easy to find nearby activities and staying at the place felt great at all times

The house is very beautiful but it does need some TLC and maintenance to live up to its fullest potential. Host is very responsive. Close to the beach.

Thank you so much for your feedback and for staying with us. As the house is located in the middle of nature and very close to the beach, it’s normal to see things like animal footprints on the deck, leaves on the floor, and a bit of dust returning quickly — even right after cleaning. We do our best to maintain everything, but the natural environment is very much part of the experience here. I truly appreciate your comments and will keep working to improve the house while preserving the charm of being surrounded by nature. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!

Excellent experience staying in this house and Carmit is a very kind person

Excelente experiencia quedarnos en esta casa y Carmit muy amable persona

What a beautiful place! We were 10 friends and we couldn't have asked for more. The place is beautiful, the beach is nearby, the city is quiet and Carmit was more than responsive and attentive!! If we could, we would have stayed weeks longer!

Quel bel endroit ! Nous étions 10 amis et nous n'aurions pas pu demander mieux. L'endroit est magnifique, la plage est à proximité, la ville est tranquille et Carmit a été plus que réactive et attentionnée !! Avoir pu, nous serions restés des semaines de plus !

The house was beautiful! We didn’t do much research before booking, so most places ended up being a bit of a drive from Airbnb. Having overnight security at the gate made us feel safe and comfortable. There are quite a few bugs, which is expected since it’s in the jungle; just something to keep in mind.

My husband and I decided to take a last minute vacation with our girls to Costa Rica. I had saved a few Airbnbs and finally booked Carmit’s listing because of the view, pool, walking distance to the beach. Carmit was super responsive to all my questions even before I booked! She even helped to arrange airport pick up and drop off for my family of 7, so it was one less thing to worry about. The house looked exactly like the photos. The hardest part was figuring out all the light switches inside the house. Every bit of the architecture detail is so well thought out and I loved the natural lighting. We had minor issues that were fixed within hours or the next day. There was heavy thundering rain the last two days and caused a leak inside the living room. Carmit came by to check it out, but luckily it resolved and stopped on its own. I’ve never been to an Airbnb where the hosts are super friendly, attentive, and cared enough to personally stop by. Until next time, pura vida!

Very nice place, everything looked exactly like the pictures, very accessible and with a supermarket and restaurants nearby,

Muy bonito lugar, todo se veía exactamente como en las imágenes, muy accesible y con supermercado y restaurantes cercanos,

Absolutely amazing stay! The home had everything we could possibly need—clean, comfortable, and beautifully set up. Carmit was extremely responsive and went above and beyond with helpful local recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this AirBnB! It is in a perfect location with a mini market and beach located a short walk away. It’s a big home with a lot of space so me and my 12 guests always felt comfortable.  Carmit was SUPER responsive and she helped me book transportation and massages. She also helped me get in touch with a private chef. Any time I had any questions Carmit was just a message away.  If you’re looking for a great stay in Guanacaste, look no further!

Just book this place. Carmit is a wonderful host. It’s clean, modern and everything works.  Our kids loved the pool even after a day at the beach. Our favorite beach was Playa Conchal which was only a 20 min drive.  We’d choose this home again!

We had an amazing stay at Carmit’s Airbnb! The house was absolutely beautiful - spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed with everything we needed for a comfortable family trip. The location was truly stunning, tucked away in a peaceful area yet just a short walk to the beach. We especially loved the pool, it was exceptional. I also made great use of the grill, which worked perfectly! What really made the experience stand out was the incredible hospitality. Carmit and her team, including Elad, were so helpful and responsive throughout our stay, making everything feel seamless and stress-free. If you're planning a trip to Costa Rica, this is the perfect place to stay. Highly recommend!

The house was just as the pictures show very modern. We spent most of our time in the back by the pool. Communicating was very easy and I always got a quick and clear response 10/10

Carmit was VERY responsive and quick to address issues or questions. The house was beautiful with an amazing pool and in a central location (about 5-10 min walk from beach/restaurants etc). It was a great space for our group. However, there are a few things that could have improved our stay. - Air conditioning was not turned on when we arrived. Due to the large open space, it took about 24 hours for the temperature inside to drop from 86 degrees to 72. That first night was HOT. - there were minimal bath/hand towels and paper products (only 1 roll of toilet paper per room). We had to ask for more paper towels and toilet paper as no extra was stored in the house. - gas stove was not functional the first night complicating our dinner as we had hired a private chef. Ultimately, we fixed it ourselves after some miscommunication with the host. - if you plan to cook your own meals it would be very difficult with the extremely limited cookware Overall, beautiful home for our stay!

Amazing stay, very good location, very comfortable house if you are going with a big group. Carmit was very kind & always available. Wonderful days, hope to return very soon!

Cool place to stay, Playa Grande is a nice smaller village yet close to all the things you want to do ie visit playa flamingo, tours of the estuary, and easy pickup of you want to tour the rainforest areas.

Carmit was an amazing host. She helped arrange transportation and excursions for us - all of which were great experiences. Her home is walkable to the beach and several great restaurants and right next to the surf shop we used to rent boogie boards and book surf lessons for the kids. Plenty of space and extremely comfortable for our party of 9. If we had a question or an issue Carmit responded almost immediately. Overall an incredible experience and wonderful first trip to Costa Rica!

Carmit’s place was amazing! She has a beautiful home which is maintained perfectly. Everything was clean and felt brand new. The AC works great which is definitely needed in Costa Rica. The pool was amazing and was always warm enough to jump in. The town of Playa Grande is also the perfect spot for a relaxing beach trip while being much less busy than Tamarindo (which is still a short drive away). I’ll definitely come back to stay again.

We loved our stay. House was as advertised and so fun. They were so accommodating on check in and check out. So very helpful. Playa Grande is so fun and beautiful.. thank you

This was a great spot! We really enjoyed the house, especially the private pool. It's set up perfectly to enjoy (or escape) the sun. The beach and a few nice restaurants were just a 5m walk away.

We had a fantastic stay at the Luxury Villa in Playa Grande. The house has all the space and amenities you will ever need, plus Carmit helped recommend and set up activities for our group and was always around if we had any questions. The pool is fantastic and the location is walkable to pretty much anything you'd ever need in Playa Grande. Great stay in a private and beautiful setting.

Thank you so so much. It was a pleasure to host you and the group. You’re more than welcome to come over anytime 💙

Beautiful house! We would have liked more favorable check-in and check-out times

Hermosa casa! Nos hubiera gustado los horarios de check in y check out más favorables

Carmit is a top-notch host by any measure!  She was super responsive and addressed our questions/issues immediately.  The architecture of the home is absolutely stunning and the location is fantastic.  Close to the beach, restaurants, and a few shops.  The vibe of the community is a "Chill surf town" as my kids called it. Overall we had a wonderful stay!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the care we put into making the space comfortable and inviting. Guests like you make hosting such a rewarding experience! We would love to welcome you back anytime in the future.💙

Carmit was an amazing host - super responsive and helpful with local recommendations.  Also, helped us with bookings for excursions, an AMAZING private chef, and local photographer.  The house was great.  Spacious and accommodating - every bedroom has its own bathroom.  Easy walk to the beach and  some local restaurants.  Thank you for an outstanding stay!!!

I have booked a lot of AirBnBs before. My expectations were not met in this house. The front half of the property is a wasteland filled with construction debris. No gardens there. Not a nice view. There is no Wifi in the downstairs rooms Not all rooms have AC remotes. The AC in the master bedroom was very noisy. In need of better maintenance. 2 TVs were not working properly. The kitchen / whole house was inadequately fitted out. We booked the house for a whole week and were provided with one dishwashing tablet, two garbage bags, no coffee, no shampoo or body wash, toilet paper for 3 days, not even a shovel with the broom, no salt or pepper, oil, vinegar, spices ... Oven dials were not labeled. Had been lost in time. We had to google the cooking top and oven to figure out the controls. The house itself was nicely set up. As shown in the pictures. A pity the owners did not set up the house to fulfil its full potential.

Thank you, Lutz, for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, I must address some inaccuracies in your review. During your stay, I personally visited the property three times to ensure everything was to your satisfaction. Not once did you mention any issues or concerns, which I would have gladly addressed immediately. Open and proactive communication is something we pride ourselves on, as evident in our other guest reviews. Regarding the property: 	•	The front area is landscaped as per our listing photos, and there is no construction debris. 	•	The house is equipped with Wi-Fi throughout, and all rooms have working AC units with remotes. 	•	The kitchen and house are stocked as outlined in our listing, which is typical for self-catering properties. Additional items like coffee, spices, or toiletries are not included unless specified. It’s unfortunate you chose to voice these concerns publicly rather than allowing us the chance to resolve them during your stay. We genuinely strive to provide the best experience possible for our guests and would have been happy to assist you had you communicated with us directly. We take feedback seriously and will review any aspects that need attention. However, your comments do not reflect the care and effort we put into maintaining this home or the experience we provide to our valued guests. Thank you again for your stay, and we wish you all the best.

We had a fantastic stay with my extended family, including lots of little kids! The house is beautiful, the pool perfect, and the walk to the beach is short and easy. But most spectacular was the host -- she truly went above and beyond with arranging transportation, a cook to come to the house each day, groceries, and so much more. I was blown away! Could not recommend this house more highly.

Thank you beautiful. I hope to see you again guys 💙

Beautiful home with lots of space for all the family.

Thank you Carmit! Our family had such a good time. It was nice meeting you. Thanks for everything!

The stay was great, Carmit was very responsive to any needs we had and also proactively offered recommendations. Location was very convenient for walking to the beach and near by restaurants and was a quick drive to Tamarindo. Overall was an amazing stay, will come back again!

My family and I absolutely loved this house. The photos does not do it justice it looks even better in person. We definitely plan on coming back to Costa Rica and we will definitely be staying here again

Great Place! It has everything you need. Looks even better in person!

My stay at this Airbnb  was nothing short of extraordinary! The host  Carmit was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. She assisted with setting up a cake, arranging a private chef, and even booking yacht services. To say the home was beautiful is an understatement—everything was absolutely perfect, from the stunning décor to the comfortable amenities. It truly felt like a home away from home. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, and I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a luxurious and seamless experience. && i must also say it is in a great location from the night life about 25 mins away.

Carmit's house is beautiful, modern, and a great find! Each bedroom has an attached bath, and the pool is beautiful. The architecture of the house is unique and very open. Carmit was very responsive to our concerns  and introduced us to a great local private chef and tour guide who made our trip very memorable. One suggestion would be to have laundry soap and dishwasher detergent in the house, but the place was otherwise well stocked with dishes and cooking utencils. Thanks for all your help and for making our vacation one to remember!

My family had a great time.  The sunrise was amazing.

Thank you Carmit and team for hosting us and helping us create great family memories in Guanacaste.  The house and the location worked excellent for our stay. It's a beautiful house.  We hope to come back in the future.

It's right in the heart of the Playa Grande surfing community. We had two cars and often walked, too. Close access to many restaurants (our favorite was El Huerto). Do note that prices for meals are comparable to those in US cities. We loved spending time in the pool, looking out over the valley. Monkeys visited one day, travelling over the roof of the house into the trees. Lots of lizards and geckos to see. Lots of butterflies. The house is very cool, with modern style and concrete surfaces. The beds are great, though it's humid so it's hard to escape the clamminess. Great bedding. Air conditioners abound and work well.

This place was awesome, very clean and spacious. Beach was walking distance and the restaurants near by had great atmosphere.

This was a beautiful house in a beautiful setting.  Our five kids (ages 6-13)  loved the pool and Playa Grande.  We had daily wildlife visits to the house including birds of all kinds, iguanas, and howler monkeys.  The kids loved it!  The house itself was beautiful and very clean.  Carmit was an incredible host.  She was very responsive and had lots of great recommendations.

Carmit was an absolutely amazing host. Unfortunately we had a difficult situation at another airbnb during our vacation in Costa Rica and we needed to move properties last minute for safety reasons. We reached out to Carmit and despite having an event at the house that day she still agreed to accommodate us and had the entire house cleaned and ready for us at 5pm. There is not enough words to say about how beautiful this place is. The bedrooms are fairly sized, spacious, bathrooms are nice and clean, the kitchen is perfect, and a large sofa and living area. The biggest hit is the backyard, perfect sized pool for our group with the most beautiful view and a relaxing seating area. It’s only a 2 minute drive to a beautiful large quiet beach. And one of our favorite restaurants in the area was Pots & Bowls for a perfect breakfast/lunch spot. The pictures do not do this place justice, we cannot recommend this place enough to anyone coming to Costa Rica! We hope to be back soon!

Great stay at Playa Grande, close to a few food options and just up the road from several surf spots.  Absolutely gorgeous house!  Carmit was so responsive to everything that came up - really appreciate her help with an issue that arose. Overall fantastic stay!

The home was beautiful, private but close enough to walk to beach for sunsets and to restaurants.  The pool was a great place to relax and we were fortunate to have a large group of monkeys visit two days in a row and hang out in the surroundings trees which was better than any tour.  Carmit was very responsive and out of our three homes we rented this was by far the best.  And Playa Grande was the least crowded of the large beaches we visited with great waves.

Fabulous! The house was centrally located, walkable to the beach and restaurants, and just a beautiful home! Oh, and the howler monkeys visited us a few times! The pool was amazing and the beds were so comfortable! And Carmit, I just can’t say enough! She was so kind and helpful and responsive from the moment we booked our stay, up until we checked out. She really went above and beyond and it made our stay beyond wonderful and relaxing. Thank you Carmit for an amazing stay in your beautiful home!

This is a beautiful home. We felt very safe. Our group walked down to the beach each night for the sunset (5 min walk). Great surfing beach!  The area is growing in terms of home builds. The house itself is lovely, very clean and modern. The pool was a nice size and great for a dip or lounge. Thanks for the stay!

We had a dream stay. The villa is beautiful, very clean and easy to access. A caretaker ensures street safety day and night. Carmit is very kind, available, and gave us lots of good places and tips for the rest of our trip. I highly recommend it.

Nous avons passés un séjour de rêve. La villa est magnifique, très propre et facile d’accès. Un gardien assure la sécurité de la rue de jour comme de nuit. Carmit est très gentille, disponible, et nous a donné pleins de bonnes adresses et conseils pour la suite de notre voyage. Je recommande vivement.

This house was perfect for my husband and I and another couple for a quick getaway. The house is new and the view is spectacular. Walk to beach in about 5 minutes and several local restaurants that were great. Carmit was very responsive, friendly and accommodating. Recommend bringing a laundry detergent pod or two with you to use the washing machine - great convenience after days of getting dirty on hikes and at the beach. Construction next door was not too intrusive to ruin the stay. Stay in the back bedroom for the occasional morning monkey spotting!!

We just spent a week in paradise!! Carmit's home was immaculately clean upon arrival. We walked to the beach multiple times a day and spent hours in the pool. The beds were so incredibly comfortable - hands down the best from an airbnb. From check in to check out, Carmit was extremely communicative and responsive. We had a few minor issues that came up, but she was quick to provide a fix. She is a super sweet host with the best recommendations in town (ask her recommendation for a private chef!). Construction is still going on next door to the property, but we had no issues. Supplies are basic so be sure to stock up on the way in - this is only if you plan to stay for a week or longer. Overall, our family had such a great time and a lovely stay at Carmit's place. We can't wait to come back!

Carmit was extremely responsive and helpful with recommendations. The pool was fantastic esp with our young kids to cool off! the beach is about six min walk away, gorgeous beach but more rustic/secluded. Loved the house it was stunning!

Exceptionally beautiful house with great AC for hot windy beach days. The pool was a huge hit with our kids who couldn’t get enough of it. The pool is in the back sheltered from sun and most wind. The beds and linen were so comfortable we had the best sleeps there! Easy stroll down to the beach. Carmit was very helpful for any questions & recommendations at an instant. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you Carmit!

House is located on a street that is under construction. The house has no house number so it is difficult to locate. The house next-door was under construction. The construction workers next-door were inconsiderate. They spent their lunch break, staring at my wife in the swimming pool which was weird and uncomfortable. The construction workers regularly blocked the driveway and would not move their trucks. The house has no amenities such as paper towels, salt, and pepper, olive oil. Or laundry detergent this would have been helpful to know because there is no supermarket within a reasonable distance of the house. The town is wonderful we relied on the hotel next-door for most of our services.

Carmit was the best host I’ve ever encountered on Airbnb. She went out of her way to decorate the house for my 24th birthday and it was an absolute dream! She recommended some great private chefs and excursions. The house was absolutely beautiful and we could not have asked for more. There are various restaurants that are walking distance. It was very secluded and peaceful. The beach town Tamarindo is a 25 minute drive so it wasn’t too far. Thank you so much Carmit for a magical birthday celebration!

The house was very clean with great views outside the back. Amazing pool and very close to the beach, as well as walkable to a few restaurants in the area

This airbnb was absolutely beautiful. Carmit was very responsive and answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. She helped booked my family’s taxi from/ to the airport. She also gave me recommendations on what to do and restaurants to eat at. The location is walking distance to the beach (where we saw monkeys in the tree) and some cute little bar/restaurants. The internet in the master bedroom wasn’t connecting to the smart tv and she attempted to fix it but it still did not work. The house was very clean upon arrival however there were a few things that would have made the stay more comfortable (dish detergent, wash cloths and more towels- considering we used the pool multiple times and showered multiple times a day). Overall this was a great play to stay and I would recommend to others.

The house is beautiful, the pool is very much and everything is impeccable. Too bad the work next door that at 6 am you are already making noise and if you are looking to rest it is difficult. Everything else is all about dreams!

La casa es hermosa, la pileta se disfruta mucho y está todo impecable. Lástima la obra de al lado que a las 6 am ya están haciendo ruido y si buscas descansar es difícil. Lo demás todo de sueños!

Carmit was so friendly and warm. She was super attentive and helpful throughout our stay in her house. The house is stunning and have amazing amenities.

What an amazing stay! Thank you Carmit for sharing your home with us!   The private views were so wonderful to take in from the infinity pool, from the beds and bedroom balconies, and from large family sized comfy sofa in the living room. This home checked many of our boxes for a family launch pad into the beautiful Playa Grande area.  It’s an easy walk to the beach, to good food, and even to the turtle nesting sites nearby. This is a modern home with that wow factor we were looking for. And Carmit the host wowed us with her quick responses  to our requests and her helpful suggestions to make our stay Pura Vida! We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful place!  Fantastic surrounding and nice salt water pool!

We were the first ones to stay in this lovely home.  Our host met us there and was very friendly.  The house is located on a street with other similar homes and there is still a little bit of construction left to go in front of the house but no construction noise at all while we were there and you don't see it from inside the home.  Views are to the back out over the pool and vista as  shown in the photos.  The house is beautiful and brand new.  It is walkable to other things in the area or a quick drive to take the $5 water taxi over to Tamarindo when you want more action as Playa Grande is very quiet and natural feeling overall. We had a great time!
