2BR house in Playa Grande

Casa Colono: 10 min Walk to Surf, Beach & Monkeys - Houses for Rent in Playa Grande, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Extremely convenient location, pleasant to Playa Grande, well stocked kitchen, great air conditioning in the bedrooms.  The home had many nice touches and decorations.  Excellent security.

Thanks for your nice words David. Pura Vida :-)

The place was super clean and easy to get into. Mattia was easy to reach and very kind. Definitely worth staying at. We loved it!

Thanks a lot for your lovely words, Delphine ;-) Hope to see you back someday.

Cozy house and very well located in a natural setting

Casa acogedora y muy bien ubicada en un entorno natural

Awesome place, helpful and responsive. Place is close to Playa Grande. Pizza Place is nice as well. A bit expensive, but very big. Apartment is clean, and in a calm area. TV with a lot of channels. Everything was as advertised.

Thanks a lot for your nice review :-) Have a great time

Our family had a great time at Mattia's. From the monkeys and iguanas to the neighbor's dog, whom our kid's dubbed "Pickles," the animals were great. It feels fairly private despite being surrounded by some great local businesses. It's about a 10 minute walk to the beach.

Thanks for your kind words and happy you enjoyed "our animals" :-)

Mattia’s place is amazing! It has everything you need and is so cozy! We loved it as a family and would highly recommend! We got to see monkeys in the trees and walk to the beach!

Hi Mikaela, thanks so much for this lovely review. Stay safe :-)

Perfect place for our needs! Was able to sit outside and watch the monkeys! Close to food and still a reasonable walk (about 15min) to the beach.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mattias place. we had plenty of room for the three of us. The kitchen was fully stocked and walkable to local restaurantsand shops. The beach was about 15- 20min walk from the house, so we chose to drive. beach parking was Easy.

This is a great place to stay in Playa Grande.  There are several restaurants, shops and groceries within a 5-minute walk from the house.  The beach is only a 10-minute walk.  The kitchen is stocked with every kind of utensil you would ever need, but, if you plan to cook, you will need to get staples such as cooking oil, salt, coffee, etc. at the little grocery store down the road.  Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.  There is a resident family of howler monkeys in the area and they are quite vocal at night.   I would happily stay here again.

Love staying in Playa Grande, where the beach is big and not crowded! And this is my 4th time to stay in one of Mattia's houses, our first time in the big house. Lovely. The home is well-appointed and comfortable, perfect for cooking at home, and near to nice restaurants, perfect for when we don't want to! We love the big patio and hammock and listening to the howler monkeys and parrots while relaxing. The bedrooms are cool, the living room is comfortable, and the bathroom is nice and bright with warm water and good pressure. Everything we needed in the kitchen. Absolutely would stay again!

We had a great time. Met our expectations. Very nice place and area area.

La pasamos súper bien. Cumplió nuestras expectativas. Muy lindo el lugar y la zona.

Staying at Mattias was perfect for our family. We were able to surf everyday, walk to eat and see the howler monkeys. Our boys particularly enjoyed the located space!

Thanks so much and pleased you had a great stay. :-)

We loooooved our stay here! Short walk to the beach and we always felt super safe here with our 2 kids! We stayed for a week and hard everything we needed! The kitchen is perfect with a lot of equipment! We would definetly recommend staying there! We were really sad to leave! We LOVED the outsider shower! ☺️

Thanks Jennifer for your lovely review :-)

Excellent location, very good communication with the owners and a very well equipped house 👍🏼

Excelente ubicación, muy buena comunicación con los propietarios y casa muy bien equipada 👍🏼

We had a great time during our stay at Casa Colono. There was plenty of space and the house had everything we needed. It was also very safe and secure. The house is located by two veery good restaurants and within a short walk to many other restaurants, bars, and the beach. We saw lots of birds, butterflies, iguanas, and even howler monkeys while enjoying the covered porch. Mattie was always very responsive when responding to questions and was very helpful. Overall a great place to stay and a great value.

Nice house. Close to the beach, good restaurants nearby.

Great apartment in Playa Grande, plenty of space for our family of 4, about 10mins walk to the beach. Having tupperware tubs to use for our beach snacks was an unexpected bonus. Saw an iguana, monkeys and more just outside the house, but managed to keep all beasties outside! Mattia is really quick to respond to any questions, great host! We didn't have a car but would recommend anyone else to have one - the local shop doesn't have much choice for meals and it's harder than we hoped to get to Tamarindo for the day. Mato's surf shop were fantastically friendly and helpful - sorted surf lessons and boogie board hire with them. Highly recommend.

We had such a great stay here! The home is beautiful, very comfortable & most important it’s clean!! The location honestly couldn’t be better for us. The home is close to great restaurants & walking minutes away from the beach. Tatiana was always responsive in the messages. Beds & couches were comfortable. Bathroom was sparkling clean! Make sure to try Bows & Pots restaurant it has many delicious foods, as well as ONDA. Thanks for a great stay! Pura Vida!

Hola Maria! Thanks for your amazing review. We're happy you enjoyed your stay.

Everything was amazing, a super well equipped kitchen, a spacious bathroom, bedrooms with extremely comfortable mattresses and sheets, good air conditioning, furniture, beautiful decor, everything is in harmony. Communication with the host was good, the only small inconvenience I found is that, maybe compared to other hosts, Mattia took a few hours to respond but it's not something that changed our opinion or experience here. One important thing to note is that while we were in the accommodation, my husband had a small accident, and Tatiana behaved very kindly with us, which we were very grateful for. In conclusion, it is a place where you can have a good time, close to beautiful beaches and the house is beautiful.

Tout a été incroyable, une cuisine super bien équipée, une salle de bain spacieuse, des chambres avec des matelas et des draps extrêmement confortables, une bonne climatisation, des meubles, une belle décoration, tout est en harmonie. La communication avec l'hôte était bonne, le seul petit inconvénient que j'ai trouvé est que, peut-être par rapport à d'autres hôtes, Mattia a pris quelques heures pour répondre, mais ce n'est pas quelque chose qui a changé notre opinion ou notre expérience ici. Une chose importante à noter est que pendant que nous étions dans le logement, mon mari a eu un petit accident, et Tatiana s'est comportée très gentiment avec nous, ce dont nous avons été très reconnaissants. En conclusion, c'est un endroit où l'on peut passer du bon temps, à proximité de belles plages et la maison est magnifique.

Muchas gracias por tu respuesta y nos alegra mucho que les haya gustado la casa y la zona. Lamento que en estos días no contesté más rápido, lo que normalmente acostumbré a hacer, pero vimos que hemos tenido algún inconveniente recibir las notificaciones de parte de la plataforma en tiempo real. Resolveremos este problema para poder brindar una mejor atención. Saludos Mattia y Taty

My friend and I really loved our stay at Mattia’s place. It is exactly as described and actually exceeded our expectations! The location is excellent. The nearest beach is a 10 minute walk and there are several other beaches within a 20 minute drive. You can also walk along the beach to Tamarindo (45mins) but you’ll have to cross the Estuary, doing so at low tide would be best. Theres plenty of restaurants, convenience stores, and grocery stores within a 15 minute drive. Communications with Mattia went very smoothly. Quick response time and check-in instructions were very clear! Highly recommend Mattia’s place.

Thanks so much for your amazing review Lucas. We are happy you enjoyed our place.

Well appointed house and great location! Restaurants are right next door and I loved the option to cook at home with everything you need. Great bonus to have the extra bathroom outside

I loved the place and location of the place, super close to the best beaches in guana and very cozy, I would definitely stay at this place again.

Me encantó el lugar y la ubicación del alojamiento, súper cerca de las mejores playas de guana y muy acogedor, sin duda volvería a alojarme en este lugar.

we really enjoyed our stay,it Is very near playa grande, playa grande is beautiful and the neighborhood where Matias place is, is a nice clean and respectful neighborhood. The villa has everything you need and loved the privacy. Family with children, or couples can really enjoy this villa and the beach. Thank you Matias

This was the absolute perfect place to stay. Within a small walk to restaurants, coffee, mini mart and a 10 min walk to the beach. Perfect location to have everything you need

Thanks John for the great review. Happy you enjoyed it :-)

What a wonderful place to stay! The home was spacious, beautiful, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you would ever need. The beds were so comfortable and the bathroom was large and gorgeous. The outdoor space was equally beautiful and having an outdoor shower, toilet and sink was so wonderful since there were three of us. There were howler monkeys and iguanas on the property along with lots of lovely birds. Wonderful restaurants are steps away yet it was peaceful and quiet at the house. I would highly recommend this home. We felt pampered and safe and Mattia and Tatiana were so incredibly helpful! We did not have a car and it was no problem. We walked to the gorgeous beaches every day, snorkeled at Carbon Beach (rented snorkel gear at El Beach Club close by) and one day took a boat taxi to Tamarindo. We were so happy when we returned to our peaceful side of the estuary! What a wonderful experience! Thank you Mattia and Tatiana!

Thanks so much, Dianna for your lovely words. We are very happy you and your family enjoyed your stay. Hope to have you back one day.

absolutely loved this place, great front porch with a huge table to eat at and sit and enjoy the morning or the evening. off the beaten path of the heavy tourist areas which was perfect for us. short drive or a nice walk to the beach. definitely on my list when I get to go back to Costa Rica.

Thanks for your lovely review. We are happy you enjoyed our place. :-)

Very clean and well stocked kitchen appliances and utensils. Comfortable clean sofas and bedroom linen. Overall nice unit. Close proximity to road traffic. Walkable to beach. However great location to good restaurants and shops. Mattia was responsive to our questions and provided clear instructions.

Great location - has all you need for a chill time in playa grande

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Mattia and Tatiana’s home. The kitchen was very well-equipped and the rooms were comfortable. We loved watching the family of howler monkeys that frequented the big tree above the house and were entertained by the large iguana that lounges on the roof. Lots of good restaurants next door to the house. For those working remotely as we were; the common area where the desk/table is located has clearstory screened-in windows that do not close. Due to nearby construction, the neighboring property leaf-blowing everyday, it can sometimes be quite loud which made it difficult to take work meetings (usually noise is from 7am-4pm). However, this is by no means under the control of the host and construction seems to be happening everywhere in Playa Grande at the moment!

Thank you very much Holly for your honest and great review.

I stayed at Mattia’s Airbnb with my husband and parents prior to visiting family in other parts of Costa Rica.  It is not far from the Liberia airport and Mattia’s instructions make it easy to find. The space itself is absolutely beautiful, clean, and very safe. We were lucky to meet Mattia and Tatiana on our stay. Playa Grande itself was a perfect location, as there is plenty to do but it is not over crowded. We highly recommend and would do this again!!

Thank you so much for your amazing review. Happy to have you back in the future. :-)

The place complies with everything described. It is comfortable, quiet and central, we would definitely return.

El lugar cumple con todo lo descrito. Es cómodo, tranquilo y céntrico, definitivamente volveríamos.

Excellent place, close to several beaches such as Conchal and Flamingo. 10 minutes walking from Playa Grande (my favorite beach). You can also drive down Palm Beach to the same Playa Grande. The house is very nice with everything you need for cooking. Great communication with hosts. We will definitely be back.

Excelente lugar, cerca de varias playas como Conchal y Flamingo. A 10 minutos a pie de playa Grande (mi playa favorita). También puedes ir en carro por Palm Beach a la misma playa Grande. La casa muy linda, con todo lo necesario para cocinar. Excelente comunicación con los anfitriones. Sin duda volveremos.

Beautiful place, ideal to go to rest and relax, the house has everything you need for a perfect stay, there are very good restaurants nearby, I would not hesitate to return a next time!

Precioso lugar, ideal para ir a descansar y relajarse, la casa tiene todo lo necesario para una estadía perfecta, hay restaurantes muy buenos cerca, no dudaría en regresar una próxima vez!

Mattia's place was comfortable and well placed in Playa Grande.  It wasn't overly private but the restaurants on either side were excellent and very handy to have so close.  The home was spacious for the price and everything worked well.  We easily walked to the beach and nearby shops.   If you like to surf the waves at   Playa Grande will not disappoint and Mattia is a great host.

Thanks Jill for your lovely feedback. Have a great time.

We enjoyed our stay at Mattias house. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the location was within walking distance to restaurants, a small store, and the beach. There is construction going on right next door, so it was a bit loud. Mattia messaged me to let me know about it before we got there, which I appreciated. I also really wish there was an air conditioner in the second bedroom. My kids were unable to sleep comfortably in the room. The home is beautiful and close to everything so there is lots to do.

Thanks for your feedback Michelle, really appreciated it. You are right about the A/C in the second bedroom. We have already considered it and it will be added in the near future. Have a great trip in Costa Rica :-)

Location. Location. Location. Property is walking distance to great eats and great surf. It's a win on all accounts. The kitchen is well equipped and everything is there. Be aware, there are no condiments present (salt, sugar, coffee filters etc). There are a couple of very small grocery stores on the way to the beach but nothing of size that is very comprehensive for a grocery shop to set a place up. If you're coming for awhile, remember to stock up before getting into Playa Grande and bring everything you think you will need.

Thanks Matt for the great review. I am glad you enjoyed the staying. We'll definitely check how to stock up some more basics in the kitchen. :-)

My friend and I stayed here for 2 weeks and loved it! We didn’t rent a car so we were so pleased that the beach was an easy 10 minute walk and along the way there were so many restaurants, hostels, and shops. We appreciated that Mattia has everything we needed for cooking like pots and pans, dish soap and napkins. We had a few issues with the power going off for a few seconds most days, and when it was down for an hour one night Mattia said it had to do with the public power grid so we appreciated him being responsive and helpful with us. Overall we felt really safe and comfortable here!

Thanks for the great review Susan! Really appreciate it :-)

Mattia’s home is in a perfect location- in between two delicious restaurants and walking distance to surf shops, a small grocery store and the beach. The home is comfortable with a few outdoor spaces to relax, eat and play cards. we were always able to reach Mattia over text when we had a question. Would definitely stay here again!

Thanks Jennifer! Really happy you had a great time. Wish you all the best.

Amazing host and great house. The location is amazing and the house is awesome. Mattia was rapid answering any questions we had during our stay.

We have been at Mattia‘s place for over a month. It’s a perfect house to stay if you like a cozy quiet place for your own. And the best… it’s only 10 minutes to walk to the dream beach of Playa Grande with amazing sunset every evening and good surf. You can also have a one hour walk at the beach to Tamarindo. It’s easy to cross the river with one of the boats until 6 p.m. Every Thursday we visited the beautiful night market in Tamarindo. The house itself is the best AirbnB we ever had. It’ very cozy with love for the details and spacious enough for longer stays. The kitchen is well equipped and we had very good night sleep. Close to the house is a small supermarket, many good restaurants and every Monday a local market with live music at the brewery. We also went to the gym only 5 minutes walking distance from the house. You can also get your groceries delivered from the larger supermarket. We didn’t rent a car, because most of the daily things we needed could be reached by foot. Only from time to time we took a driver to explore places further away. We can recommend doing a turtle tour to see the baby turtles hatching in the sand and a canoe tour in the mangroves. We also made a daytrip to La Leona Waterfalls which was a great adventure. We spent our days working remotely with our notebooks. The wifi was fast and reliable and good for video calls. The nice host is very communicative and answers super fast if you have questions. He gave us a lot of tips. We can absolutely recommend you to stay at this beautiful place. Pura Vida!

Our stay at Mattia's house exceeded our expectations in every way. Everything in the house was thought to make our stay simple and feel like at home. The internet was fast and reliable enough for us to work remotely and stream our favorite TV shows at night. The house is located about 800m from the wonderful beach of Playa Grande and is close to many restaurants. There is a small market a small walk close to the house and a bigger market about 2km up the main road. Finally, the communication with Mattia went really smoothly and all our questions were answered briefly. Thanks for everything! Pura Vida!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay at Mattia’s Airbnb. We locked ourselves out of the bathroom and although Mattia was out of the country he was very quick to respond with instructions. This Airbnb is right beside two of our favourite restaurants- must try - Pots & Bowls & RipJack. It also has a beautiful patio to eat and relax. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks again Mattia! Pura Vida

amazing place! very close to great restaurants and a short 10 minute walk to the beach. highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Mattia’s Playa Grande house! This was the perfect way to start our trip in Costa Rica. The house was clean and well stocked. Especially the kitchen! We cooked a good bit while we were here and everything we needed utensils-wise was there. I was working remote full time while staying, and the internet worked well. I took video meetings almost daily with no issues. There were what appeared to be town-wide power outages once or twice during our week but never during prime working hours so wasn’t an issue. Mattia was very communicative and helpful. He checked in on us midday through our stay just to see how we were doing. If you want your own space in a quieter beach town (which we did!), look no further! Thank you, again!

worked remotely there for a week, the place is wonderful. good internet conection and ample space to work and relax. Had  everything I needed to cook my meals or walk next door to el huerto.

I stayed one week with my mom. In the morning we were waking up with bird and monkey sounds which is cool:) The place was very well equipped. It was far from the busy tamarindo area but yet you can drive and reach there easy. Mattia was very helpful, and each time responded very quick.  I recomend the stay to everyone.

Nice place with everything you need and more. Playa Grande is less than five minutes away and other beaches are closed too. Totally recommended!

This house is nice, very close to the beach. Excellent host.

Excellent place. Very comfortable, spacious and with all the necessary implements. A very cozy place for those who want to relax and rest. We loved the cleanliness and tidiness of everything. Apart from that it is very easy to get to the cutest beaches in the area. There are restaurants and supermarkets nearby. My family loved it and we are hoping to be able to visit Casa Colono very soon.

Excelente lugar. Muy cómodo, espacioso y con todos los implementos necesarios . Un lugar muy acogedor para quién quiera relajarse y descansar. La limpieza y el orden de todo nos gustó mucho. Aparte que es muy fácil desplazarse a las playas más lindas de la zona. Hay restaurantes y supermercados cerca. A mi familia le encantó y esperamos poder visitar casa Colono muy pronto.

Great location & well-equipped for a long-term (3 month) stay

The place is very well equipped and the location is excellent. In addition, Mattia was attentive at all times.

El lugar está muy bien equipado y la ubicación es excelente. Además, Mattia estuvo atento en todo momento.

Great hosts and the place is super cute! The house is very well equipped and clean, it also has good internet connection. The location is excellent. It has a supermarket,  restaurants and spectacular beaches very close by. Super recommended!

Excelentes hosts y el lugar super lindo! La casa está muy bien equipada y limpia, además tiene buena conexión de internet. La ubicación es excelente tiene un supermercado,  restaurantes y playas espectaculares muy cerca. Super recomendado!

Excellent option to visit the area, just as described on the page, the cabin is super functional, has everything you can occupy to cook and is very clean and tidy. It is less than 1km from the beach which allows you to walk in less than 10 minutes. Very good care from the hosts . Definitely come back to us.

Está a menos de 1km de la playa lo que permite llegar caminando en menos de 10 minutos. Muy buena atención de los anfitriones . Definitivamente volverenos.

Excellent location, very clean place, very good communication with hosts. Mattia and Taty clarified all my questions and gave us very good recommendations for places to visit.  Super recommended.

Excelente ubicación, lugar muy limpio, muy buena comunicación con los anfitriones. Mattia y Taty aclararon todas mis dudas y nos dieron muy buenas recomendaciones de lugares por visitar.  Súper recomendado.

Very good location, comfortable and equipped house, close to groceries stores and other beaches. Very nice and friendly hosts.

Amazing place, had a great time! Very close to the beach, restaurants and grocery stores. Matti and Tati were very friendly and guided me through all the process. Place was very neat and it was very easy to get the keys. Place has everything you need to cook and have a great time, felt very safe in the area as well.

Great place to stay. We recommend it. A wonderful location to enjoy peace and quiet. It has everything you need for a pleasant stay. The location is wonderful, you can not only enjoy Playa Grande, but you can move to other beaches very close and you enjoy them too.

Excelente alojamiento. Lo recomendamos. Una ubicación maravillosa para disfrutar la paz y tranquilidad. Posee todo lo que se necesita para gozar de una estancia placentera. La ubicación es maravillosa, no sólo puedes disfrutar de Playa Grande, sino que puedes trasladarte a otras playas muy cercanas y disfrutas de ellas también.

The place is very comfortable and has all the necessary amenities. The location could not be better, it has many beaches nearby apart from Playa Grande, you can go to Bahía de los Piratas, Conchal, Flamingo, Tamarindo and many more.

El lugar es muy cómodo y tiene todos los servicios necesarios. La ubicación no podría ser mejor, tiene cerca muchas playas aparte de Playa Grande, puedes ir a Bahía de los Piratas, Conchal, Flamingo, Tamarindo y muchas más.

It is a beautiful place full of unique details, it is ideal for family or friends, it has everything you could need and even more, I will definitely be back

Es un lugar hermoso lleno de detalles únicos, es ideal para la familia o amigos, cuenta con todo lo que podrías necesitar y hasta más, definitivamente volveré

Incredible, everything is very satisfied with the stay and the service was the best, we can't ask for anything more

Increíble tod@ la verdad muy satisfecho de la estadía y la atención fue la mejor, no podemos pedir nada más

The house is clean, big patio to hang out, the host was easy to communicate with

We chose Mattia's home because it could accommodate our family of four, it looked clean, and it was close enough to the coast that we could walk if we wanted to, and it fit our modest budget. Several times during our weekend we commented about how thoughtful Mattia and Tatiana had been designing the space - it makes efficient use of a modest sized home so that it is functional, comfortable, and offers several spaces to enjoy individually or as a family. When we travel we prefer to cook for ourselves to save money and eat healthy. Their kitchen is spacious, well equipped, and easy to use. Almost all of the cupboards and storage is open to the room. This makes all dishes visible and easy to find, but most importantly, nothing was musty or had mildew on it. We have stayed in rentals where we had to wash every dish before using it (!!). Not here. Mattia's home and kitchen were clean and fresh. Water: The water here is potable, so there is no need to worry. Mattia mentioned that the local water has a lot of minerals in it, so we brought a little extra bottled water, but this is one of the benefits of travel almost everywhere in Costa Rica: The public water from AyA - that Aquaduct folks - is clean and potable. We've been living here for months now in Monteverde and haven't been sick once. He was in close contact with us before our arrival and checked in unprompted both days we were there. We didn't need anything from our host, but if we had it would have been easy to ask. The keys were handed off by Juan Carlos, a friendly neighbor (maybe a family member?). Mid-visit we asked him to hold the keys again when our family split up for different activities. This made it easy to come back at different times and have easy access to the house. Playa Grande: This was our first visit to the community. The walk from the house to the beach is maybe 600m- and easy walk past three surf shops, a corner store (pulperia). The coast here is a marine reserve with minimal beach development, and pristine beach, tidepools, and surf. Tamarindo is only 25 minutes by car if you want a more tourist area with more services. Playa Grande by contrast is quiet, friendly, and laid back. We will definitely return and recommend Mattia's Casa Colono to friends.
