Villa Corazon is a modern 2019 villa, close to the gorgeous beaches of Playa Grande, where you meet surfers as well as families. Surrounded by nature, close to the exotic forrest, it's also a walking distance to shops, cafes and restaurants. The villa (and guest house) has 3 bedrooms, all with modern private washrooms. The gorgeous outside living space has a private pool, and it is comfortably covered by a large roof, under which you can barbecue, have dinner, read in a sofa or entertain. The space Located in an small community surrounded by trees, at 1,5 km from the large Playa Grande beach (a paradise for surfers), the villa is a haven of tranquility and nature, with the comfort of a modern villa. Playa Grande is a small municipality built along a national reserve, and for this reason it is still little urbanized, although it offers several quality restaurants and a few shops. You can get around on foot, but a car is recommended. The nearby towns of Tamarindo, and Flamingo, for example, are a short drive away. You will find restaurants, activities and various excursions to satisfy all your desires for adventure! The outdoor living area is covered by a large rancho roof, protecting all your activities from rain or sun. You will find an outdoor lounge with large cushioned armchairs, a hanging rattan chair and an outdoor dining table that can seat 6 people. In the sun, two large comfortable lounge chairs border the small private swimming pool. The terrace is completely lined with islands of greenery, plants and flowers where many species of birds come to rest. Inside, the central common space (living room, equipped kitchen and dining room) now benefits from an air conditioner, as do the three bedrooms. The whole villa is therefore fully air-conditioned and glazed. Two of the bedrooms and their en-suite bathrooms are located at the ends of the main building, and the third bedroom is in a separate guest house ("casita"), also with its own private bathroom. The rooms all benefit from abundant natural light. Many warm lights allow you to make the most of your evenings, both indoors and outdoors. To ensure your peace of mind, parties are prohibited. Guest access The villa has private parking for one car. Most of the shopping is on Route 933. This is the main street of Playa Grande, and it runs through town to the beach. You will find our recommendations for restaurants and other places in our guides. Other things to note Good to know before you decide to rent: Many services are technically walking distance, including restaurants, cafés, bars, and about 20 minutes to the beach via the main road. We do recommend renting a car though, especially for groceries, since supermarkets are about a 7 minutes drive away. Also, since there is so much to see in the area, a car makes discovering the surrounding beaches, parks and cities more convenient. And it's faster to the beach! (about 3 minutes)

## The Space

Villa Corazon is a contemporary villa built in 2019, situated near the beautiful beaches of Playa Grande, a spot popular with both surfers and families. Nestled in nature and close to an exotic forest, the villa is within walking distance of shops, cafes, and restaurants.

The property includes the main villa and a guest house, offering a total of three bedrooms, each with a modern private bathroom. The outdoor living area features a private pool and is comfortably shaded by a large roof. Under this covered space, you can barbecue, dine, relax on a sofa, or entertain guests.

## Location

Located in a small community surrounded by trees, the villa is approximately 1.5 kilometers from Playa Grande beach, a renowned destination for surfers. Playa Grande is a small town adjacent to a national reserve, which keeps the area largely undeveloped while still providing several quality restaurants and shops.

While it is possible to explore the area on foot, having a car is recommended. Nearby towns such as Tamarindo and Flamingo are just a short drive away, offering additional dining options, activities, and excursions for adventure seekers.

## Amenities

The outdoor living space is protected by a large rancho-style roof, shielding you from sun and rain. This area includes:

- An outdoor lounge with large cushioned armchairs
- A hanging rattan chair
- An outdoor dining table seating six people
- Two spacious lounge chairs beside the private swimming pool
- Terrace gardens filled with plants and flowers that attract various bird species

Inside, the central living area combines the living room, fully equipped kitchen, and dining room. The entire villa, including all three bedrooms, is air-conditioned and features large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Warm lighting throughout the indoor and outdoor spaces creates a cozy atmosphere in the evenings.

Two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are located at opposite ends of the main building. The third bedroom is situated in a separate guest house (casita), also with its own private bathroom.

## Guest Access

The villa offers private parking for one vehicle. Most shopping options are found along Route 933, the main street of Playa Grande, which leads directly to the beach. Guests will receive guides with recommendations for restaurants and other local spots.

## Additional Information

Many services, including restaurants, cafes, and bars, are technically within walking distance. The beach is about a 20-minute walk via the main road. However, renting a car is advised, especially for grocery shopping since supermarkets are approximately a 7-minute drive away.

Having a car also makes it easier to explore the surrounding beaches, parks, and towns. Driving to the beach takes about 3 minutes, providing quicker access to the shore.

To ensure a peaceful environment, parties are not allowed on the property.

3BR villa in Playa Grande

Villa Corazon, modern, private pool, near beach - Villas for Rent in Playa Grande, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

The hosts and Claire were super responsive and quick to respond to everything. The place is superb, as in the pictures, and above all, the house is equipped in a way I have rarely seen. Extra sheets, towels, and soap. More than a fully equipped kitchen. There's nothing missing. A little paradise; I'd go back tomorrow!

Les hôtes et Claire ont été hypersensible rapides à répondre à tout. L’endroit est superbe comme sur les photos et surtout, la maison est équipée comme j’ai rarement vu. Draps, serviettes, savon supplémentaires. Cuisine plus que complète . Rien ne manque. Un petit paradis, j’y retournerais demain!

This was our first trip to Costa Rica, and I have to say we cannot be happier to have chosen this beautiful home to stay a few days in Playa Grande. We traveled with two kids, ages 8 and 6, and they absolutely loved it. There were so many things to do, from board games to the nice pool and all the beach amenities that the home provided. Claudine and Claire were very responsive and welcoming. The home is located in a great little community, but very private. The wildlife, beaches, and surroundings made this a perfect place to vacation. Lots of great options to eat and also very close to supermarkets and fruit stands to buy your own things and cook at home in this well-equipped kitchen. You really have it all in this amazing home, and we would choose to go there again in a heartbeat if we go to Costa Rica again.

Book without hesitation: the accommodation was clean, very, very well equipped, and well designed. Each room has its own privacy and bathroom, and everything faces the charming courtyard. Good communication from the owners!

À réserver sans hésiter: le logement était propre, très très bien équipé, et bien conçu. Chaque chambre a son intimité et sa salle-de-bain, et tout est tourné vers la charmante cour. Bonne communication des proprios!

The house is simply beautiful. Just as shown in the photos. It is in a safe and quiet place. It is a comfortable house with plenty of space. The terrace area is very nice, and the pool is just what you need. The kitchen is super well equipped. It really doesn't need anything. You have everything you need. They provide pool towels, and they have a cooler that we can use. It has games and things for kids, which I thought was great. It's pet friendly, and for us, that's a huge plus. It is close to beautiful beaches like Playa Minas and Playa Conchal, among others. The closest one is Playa Grande, but it doesn't allow pets, so unfortunately we couldn't visit it, but there are pet-friendly options nearby. They have restaurants, supermarkets, and medical centers nearby. We had a great time and would definitely come back.

La casa es simplemente hermosa. Igual como se muestra en las fotos. Esta en un lugar seguro y tranquilo. Es una casa cómoda con bien espacio y el área de la terraza es muy bonita y la piscina es justo lo que uno necesita. La cocina está súper bien equipada, de verdad no le hace falta nada, tienes todo lo que ocupes. Brindan toallas para la piscina, tienen una hielera que podemos usar. Tiene juegos y cosas para niños lo cual me pareció genial. Es pet friendly y esto para nosotros tiene un súper plus. Está cerca de hermosas playas como Playa minas, Playa conchal entre otras. La más cerca es playa grande pero esta no permite mascotas por lo que lastimosamente no pudimos visitarla, pero hay mascotas opciones cerca. Tienen restaurantes, súper mercados y centros médicos cerca. Nosotros la pasamos muy bien y definitivamente volveríamos.

Wow... thank you for this comment. It is so appreciated! We're glad your stay lived up to your expectations! Looking forward to seeing you again at our place! Claudine, Cristian and Claire

We had an absolutely memorable stay with friends! The house was spotlessly clean and perfectly equipped for our needs. The location is ideal, just a few minutes' walk from several excellent restaurants. As soon as we arrived, we were touched by Christian and Claudine's thoughtful touches: fresh fruit, coffee, and even a bottle of sparkling wine were waiting for us. Claudine and Christian are amazing hosts, very helpful, and always ready to answer our questions. I would highly recommend this place in Playa Grande! Once again, thank you for everything!

Nous avons passé un séjour absolument mémorable entre amis ! La maison était d'une propreté impeccable et parfaitement équipée pour nos besoins. L'emplacement est idéal, à seulement quelques minutes de marche de plusieurs excellents restaurants. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été touchés par les petites attentions de Christian et Claudine : des fruits frais, du café et même une bouteille de mousseux nous attendaient. Claudine et Christian sont des hôtes incroyables, d'une grande disponibilité et toujours prêts à répondre à nos questions. Je recommande fortement cet endroit à Playa Grande! Merci encore pour tout!

The house is beautiful, the photos don’t do it justice.  It exceeded our expectations.  It is in a private setting where you can relax, unwind, and the best part is that you can hear the monkeys in the morning and evenings. Christian & Claude were very responsive to any questions we had and provided us with recommendations of places to eat and things to do in the area.  The check-in and check-out process was very easy as well.  It was a wonderful trip and we will definitely stay there again during our next trip!

Very nice villa with all the amenities for cooking and more... Beach 5 minutes away by car, exceptional and very safe.

Très belle villas et avec toutes les commodités pour la cuisine et autres....plage a 5 min en voiture exceptionnelle et très sécuritaire.

Thank you, François, for your trust! The whole team joins me in thanking you for this wonderful review, and we also loved hosting you! Claudine

If we ever go back to the Playa Grande area we will absolutely be staying here again. They went above and beyond getting the place ready for us and communicating. There was even a small book inside for recommendations for nearly everything around their place. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone considering it!

Hi Taylor! Thank you so much for this lovely comment! it was absolutely mutual, you were amazing guests! We really hope to host you again! Claudine

Beautiful spot! Everything was so nicely decorated and setup. Comfortable furniture and well stocked with supplies and essentials when we arrived. 5-6pm sunsets on the beach were a highlight especially for my toddler ! 

We had 9 monkeys visit us in the trees near the pool which was amazing. Short drive to the beach / restaurants but I wouldn’t suggest walking. 

Only downside was there was quite a bit of wind which made the pool dirty often but didn’t stop us from using it. 

Would recommend! A hidden gem.

We had a lovely stay. The place feels really homely.

Thank you so much David for this lovely review! "Homely" is an adjective I love to read! ;-) It's been a pleasure hosting you! Claudine

Loved our stay. The accommodation is clean, well equipped, located a 15-minute walk from the beach in a very quiet environment. Hosts are responsive and welcoming. The courtyard is so beautiful and offers an enchanting tropical decor that allowed us to fully enjoy the beautiful weather of Costa Rica. A favorite!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Le logement est propre, bien équipé, situé à 15 minutes à pied de la plage dans un environnement hyper tranquille. Les hôtes sont réactifs et accueillants. La cour est tellement belle et offre un décor tropical enchanteur qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de la belle température du Costa Rica. Un coup de cœur!

We had a lovely stay in Playa Grande, the house is large, clean and we enjoyed the pool and the proximity to the beach.

Nous avons passé un très beau séjour à Playa Grande, la maison est grande, propre et nous avons profité de la piscine et de la proximité de la plage.

Amazing. So comfortable, so homey, and very nice. Claudine and Chris are amazing. They saved our bacon when we became “homeless” suddenly when we had an issue with another rental. They responded so quickly and were so compassionate and helpful. Would recommend to anyone. Also, playa grande is an amazing location we would have never found if not for this super cool house.

This villa was exactly as described, and the photos were accurate, which we really appreciated. Christian and Claudine were very responsive and accommodating, even during Christmas week, which says a lot. The house manager, Claire, truly stood out—she was amazing, incredibly helpful, and responded immediately whenever we had a question or needed assistance. She made our stay seamless and stress-free. The location was great, centrally situated between Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo, making it easy to explore both areas. A quick travel tip for future guests: flying into Liberia is definitely the better option unless you’re prepared for a 4–5 hour drive from San José after your flight. The pool is a bit smaller than it appears in the photos, but it was refreshing and perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this villa to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed place in Costa Rica.

Staying at Christian and Claudine’s home was a great experience! While planning the trip I exchanged several texts with them for recommendations on activities, restaurants and car rental. They were always quick to respond and very helpful. The airline canceled our original flight which changed our arrival time. They were kind to give us an early check-in and the fruit basket and food in the refrigerator were much appreciated when we got in hungry and exhausted from our red eye flight. Their home is well decorated and very comfortable. The air conditioning kept the house cool and we got a lot of use of the pool. Expect Venga (neighborhood cat) to pay you a lot of visits on the back patio. Playa Grande was just our speed. Less than a mile to the beach with several small restaurants along the way. Not near as touristy as Tamarindo. We spent most nights on the beach watching the sunset with the locals. In our travels we have never met people nicer than Costa Ricans. They made it special!

Beautiful villa with very communicative hosts! The place is very well divided so that each couple has their privacy. The yard is beautiful, a big plus when the monkeys visit you while swimming! Within walking distance of good restaurants and a remarkable beach. It was our favorite of the beaches we visited in the area. Surely a victim of its popularity and high traffic, we believe, however, that the place deserves more attention in terms of general maintenance: frequent septic odor in the yard and house, slightly worn BBQ, poor plumbing and lack of pressure for some taps, etc. In short, nothing that really affects our comfort or the enjoyment of this trip but for this level of accommodation, I think paying attention to these little details remains relevant.

Superbe villa avec des hôtes très communicatifs! L'endroit est très bien divisé afin que chaque couple ait son intimité. La cours est magnifique, un gros plus lorsque les singes vous rendent visite lors de la baignade! À courte distance de bons restaurants et d'une plage remarquable. Elle fût notre préférée dans le lot des plages visitées de la région. Surement victime de sa popularité et de la haute fréquentation des lieux, nous croyons cependant que l'endroit mériterait une plus grande attention au niveau de l'entretien général: odeur de fosse septique fréquente dans la cours et la maison, BBQ légèrement usé, plomberie déficiente et manque de pression pour certains robinets, etc. Bref, rien qui ne teinte réellement notre confort ou l'appréciation de ce voyage mais pour ce niveau d'hébergement, je crois que de porter attention à ces petits détails demeure pertinent.

Bonjour Martin, merci pour vos commentaires et les étoiles! Nous sommes tellement contents que vous ayez passé un beau séjour chez nous, et que vous aimiez la somptueuse plage de Playa Grande comme nous l'aimons! Et les singes aussi! ;-) Ça a été un bonheur de vous accueillir. Au sujet de l'odeur de fosse septique, nous sommes vraiment désolés que vous ayez eu à les subir... c'est vraiment désagréable! Nous aurions souhaité y remédier durant votre séjour, si nous l'avions su, car ces odeurs sont inhabituelles. En fait, ça n'arrive jamais. C'est probablement parce que la fosse septique a été vidée dans les jours qui précédaient votre arrivée. Une manipulation de l'employé, une petite fuite, un conduit mal refermé... difficile à dire. Nous n'avons pas constaté les odeurs qui ont dû se dissiper entretemps. Encore une fois, désolée pour ces inconvénients! Merci également d'avoir porté à notre attention ces autres petits détails! Nous tentons de garder le plus possible la villa aux standards auxquels nous sommes habitués. La plomberie demeure LE souci permanent ici, à cause de l'eau extrêmement calcaire. Même si la villa est très en demande, nous lui portons une attention constante. Ici, il est fréquent qu'un tuyau s'écoule mal à cause de l'accumulation de calcaire ou d'un résidu qui s'est détaché. D'ailleurs, merci car nous avons réglé le petit souci que vous nous avez signalé et qui avait son origine... sous la maison. Nous avons également remplacé des pièces du barbecue après votre départ. Le climat tropical est bon pour les humains... mais moins pour les barbecues! Nous espérons accueillir votre gentille famille encore une fois, encore merci et nous l'espérons, à bientôt! Claudine, Christian et Claire

We loved our stay with Christian and Claudine, the hosts really care about their guests, plus Claire and Miguel are really attentive to our needs and are two helpful and dedicated people. The premises are very well divided so that each couple has their privacy while sharing the common kitchen which is very well-equipped. Our stay was all the more beautiful thanks to the beautiful outdoor courtyard, full of vegetation and even a dozen monkeys who came to visit us in the trees of the outdoor courtyard. I would definitely recommend it for your next stay in Costa Rica…….Pura Vida!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Christian et Claudine, les hôtes se préoccupe vraiment de leurs invités, de plus Claire et Miguel sont vraiment à l’écoute de nos besoins et sont deux personnes serviables et dévoués. Les lieux sont très bien divisés pour que chaque couple est leurs intimités tout en partageant la cuisine commune qui est très très bien équipé. Notre séjours à été d’autant plus magnifique grâce à la belle cour extérieur , pleins de végétation et même une dizaine de singe qui sont venus nous rendre visite dans les arbres de la cour extérieur. Je recommande sans hésiter pour votre prochain séjour au Costa Rica…….Pura Vida !,

We really liked it! The house is in a super quiet location and close to the beach. Great communication with the host. Thank you!

Nos gustó mucho! La casa esta en una ubicación súper tranquila y cerca de la playa. Buena comunicación con el anfitrión. Gracias!

What a fabulous place to stay - so beautiful and very relaxing.Christian and Claudine were extremely timely at responding to queries and questions - would highly recommend (and give 6 stars if I could !)

Thank you Christian, Claudine and Claire. A wonderful place to stay, very nice house and very well equipped. Great restaurant recommendations too. We really enjoyed our time at your place and hope to return in the near future

Claudine & Christian have a beautiful home set in a very tranquil neighbourhood. The home and pool are surrounded by trees and plants which during our stay were frequently visited by butterflies, hummingbirds, monkeys, birds and coatis. Since this was our first time in Costa rica the simple fact my family and I were able to see all these animals whilst relaxing by the pool made our experience extra special despite the exceptionally heavy rainfall that greeted us during our stay in November. Our hosts were very proactive in their answers to all our questions which we greatly appreciated. The place was also within close proximity to the beach and many great restaurants which made our stay even more enjoyable.

we loved getting to stay here!!! the place itself was gorgeous, so much greenery all around and it was semi private off the road. the hosts were extremely responsive (we had tons of questions)! they gave recommendations and helped us find things around the house! they also provided milk eggs juice and there was coffee and tea in the pantry! we love when hosts go above and beyond and we would 100% stay here again. HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

Dear Hanya, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We were so happy to host such lovely guests, and would be thrilled to have you back anytime! Claudine and Chris

We loved staying at villa corazon. The hosts were very friendly and responded to all our questions. It was our first time in Costa Rica and Claudine made sure all our questions were answered and provided additional information that made our stay in Costa Rica more enjoyable and easier to navigate. The home was tranquil and private. Our kids enjoyed the pool!!!

Gorgeous oasis. Wonderful to place to relax and unplug. Enjoyed pool and adored butterfly bushes. Very communicative and gracious hosts. My twins loved the AC while I adored the surrounding beaches and husband scuba dived. A needed escape.

Christian & Claudine were very kind and proactive in their answers to our questions. Claire welcomed us with kindness and made us feel at home. Thanks for everything.

Christian & Claudine étaient très gentils et proactifs dans leurs réponses à nos questions. Claire nous a accueilli avec gentillesse et nous a fait sentir comme chez nous. Merci pour tout.

This home was a really good place to call home for the week. Clean, lots of local tips, and on call stay for immediate assistance. We enjoyed waking up to the alarm monkeys each day and a dip in the pool in the afternoons! Would recommend if you are visiting Playa Grande.

This Airbnb is truly remarkable, offering guests not only lovely accommodations that are both cozy and well designed but also the bonus of being nestled in stunning surroundings. Each element of the living spaces has been thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort, blending modern amenities with a touch of homely charm that makes every corner inviting. Outside, the scenery is breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop that complements the warmth of the interior.

This home suited our three generations family, close to surf schools and beach, and extremely comfortable and well thought out surroundings and gardens. Excellent communications. We want to return!!

Our stay at Villa Corazon was wonderful! We were traveling with two adult children and their partners so having three separate bedrooms with ensuites was ideal. They each had separately controlled a/c and modern bathrooms. The kitchen functioned very well allowing many chefs to work at the same time. The communication from Christian & Claudine was very helpful throughout our trip. Someone met us to make sure we arrived ok, who was also available for any questions during our stay. There were several excellent restaurants within walking distance and the beach was close either by short drive by car or a 10 minute walk. Overall our trip was excellent and I strongly recommend this Airbnb to anyone traveling to the area.

We loved our stay at Villa Corazon. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we had to change our plans at the last minute, and it seems miraculous that we were able to book Claudine and Christian's place. The house is beautiful, and we loved the private garden area. Miguel, the gardener, keeps the outdoor space immaculate. The kitchen is very well-equipped, and they have many useful items available, such as beach chairs and towels. Both Claudine and their co-host Claire were very responsive and helpful, and all instructions were clear. Also, we found the beach at Playa Grande to be the most beautiful of the five or so we visited in Guanacaste. We would love to stay at Villa Corazon again in the future.

Thank you so much Eva! I'm so glad we could accomodate your last minute stay and that you were able to enjoy Costa Rica! You were just fantastic guests. We would love to host you again!

Very accomdating,  helpful, no issues and provided great recommendations for dinning, groceries and areas of interest.

OMG beautiful place. The hosts are wonderful but also the person who takes care of Claire is great. Always available to answer our questions. We were blessed with a group of howler monkeys right in the backyard for a full day. Everything is very well maintained and very clean. 20 minute walk to the beautiful beach. Very peaceful place to empty.

Wow magnifique endroit. Les hôtes sont merveilleux mais aussi la personne qui prends en charge sur place Claire est super. Toujours disponible pour répondre à nos questions. Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir un groupe de singe hurleur directement dans la cours arrière pendant une journée complète. Tout est très bien entretenue et très propre. 20 minutes de marche de la magnifique plage. Endroit très paisible pour faire le vide.

This property was perfect for our family of 5. It would also work very well for 3 couples. It was so nice to have a washer and dryer. The beach here is amazing, big and uncrowded. The small community has limited options for shopping and dining as it is still undeveloped, but that is what we were looking for. Communication with the owner was excellent and the house manage Claire very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

Place was beautiful and spacious with great host. All the bedrooms had their own bathroom for privacy. A short drive to Playa Grande Beach. This beach was amazing and not crowded. Place had everything you needed for your stay. We would most definitely recommend this place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The kitchen is extremely well equipped! The house is super cozy, but unfortunately we had problems to lock the third room, which has a separate entrance and also the tap of the room did not work sufficiently. Anyways communication was very good and they tried to fix everything as soon as possible. This for we would definitely come back 🫶🏼 we had a great time!

Christian and Claudine's were very helpful before and during the trip. When we needed help with issues their local manager Claire was quick to respond. The house had everything you needed to cook. The outdoor space was inviting and routinely cleaned. They had everything you needed to bring with you to the beach (towels, chairs, cooler and more!) There was some construction in the area that was loud at times. The neighbours were very close and music and talking could be easily heard when we were outside. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying here.

Loved this place and how responsive, kind and helpful the hosts were. The location is wonderful! Super peaceful and safe but also close to great beaches and restaurants. The layout of this house is amazing, each room has lots of space, own bathroom and opens to a wonderful common area. The awesome house combined with super nice hosts. We would totally stay here again!!!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful house! Nestled in a tranquil area yet conveniently close to the beach, it offered the perfect balance. The communication was outstanding, and the property manager ensured everything ran seamlessly. The house was equipped with everything we needed, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We can't wait to return! We would highly recommend s this place!

Peaceful villa a few minute drive to the beach. Relaxed outdoor patio and plunge pool were nice after a long day at the beach. Each room had an A/C, which was great given the heat/humidity. We were very grateful that the hosts stocked the kitchen with basics (juice, milk, eggs, coffee, local bananas), which was very welcome after a long day of traveling to get there. The local contact was very helpful, kind, and responsive when any issues arose (we had some small trouble getting adequate hot water in one of the three showers).  Would stay here again!

Chris and Claudine were so nice, communicative, and accommodating. The location is so great to good eats (I loved Pots and Bowls and the casado at Onda was superb). Claire was also very quick to respond to messages. I felt very comfortable and at home and really appreciated the privacy (I don't think anyone was at the neighbor's behind but they could have a peek-a-boo view to the pool area). The bed was comfortable and C&C graciously accepted a list of a few items that needed attending to. The house could use a bit of updating but overall it is very nice and homey.

We loved our stay at this villa! Very clean and comfortable we felt at home. Communication with Claudine was really extraordinary with lots of info and suggestions in the surroundings. We recommend eyes closed this villa for your next trip to Costa Rica

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cette villa! Très propre et confortable nous nous sentions comme à la maison. La communication avec Claudine a été vraiment extraordinaire avec pleins d’infos et de suggestions dans les environs. Nous recommandons les yeux fermés cette villa pour votre prochain voyage au Costa Rica

The stay was immaculate. We were so sad to leave this slice of paradise. We got to experience the amazing beaches nearby without all of the crowds. Truly a beautiful gem and a very lovely home!

We had a wonderful stay at villa corazón. The house is very well equipped and distributed. The hosts were always very responsive and friendly. Would definitely return☺️

Nothing I write can do this place justice. Christian and Claudine’s place is beautiful; tranquil and private environment, house had everything you need, very easy to get to Tamarindo and other areas near Playa Grande. Christian and Claudine are great hosts, very friendly and provide lots of helpful information. Highly recommend and hope to get to stay here again next time we’re back in the country.

Dear Tony, having spectacular guests like you is priceless! Thank you for the amazing review! We're so glad you enjoyed the villa and we hope to host you again in the near future! Claudine and Christian

Christian and Claudine’s place was perfect for our group of 6. We loved the common area and the en-suite bathrooms. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for cooking and we super appreciated use of all the beach chairs and toys. Claire, the property manager was very helpful and responsive to all our requests. The house is beautifully decorated and well designed. Our favorite beach we visited was Playa Real/ Bahia Los Piratas.

A true gem in paradise. It was exactly what the pictures showed and more. The kitchen was well equipped outside grill . Towels and linens were clean. Host were great at communicating and offered great recommendations. Thank you guys , Pura Vida

Thank you so much Lazaro! These kind words are greatly appreciated! We hope we get to host your lovely family again! Claudine

We had a wonderful time at Villa Corazon with the family. The hosts were very kind and answered all of our questions without delay to make our trip easier. We really enjoyed our trip to Playa Grande, we hope to go back there.

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour à la Villa Corazon en famille. Les hôtes étaient d’une très grande gentillesse et ont répondus à toutes nos questions sans délai pour faciliter notre voyage. Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre voyage à Playa Grande, nous espérons y retourner.

Our stay at Villa Corazon started even before we arrived in Costa Rica. Claudine & Christian helped us with our 1001 questions with great enthusiasm and generosity. Traveling with young children aged 3 & 8, the Villa was perfect: not too far from the beach and grocery stores, super clean and comfortable, the pool was great (perfect temperature), the outdoor space is beautiful and great for relaxing moments and dinners. Playa Grande and the surrounding area was really a beautiful place to see Costa Rica. We went there in May, and we received no raindrops. The beaches are beautiful and there are plenty of small places to discover nearby. Thanks again Claudine and Christian, it's been a perfect week. We clearly give you a 100% rating as a host as well as to Annie for her quick responses. Thanks! Hope to see you again!

Notre séjour à la Villa Corazon a commencé avant même qu’on arrive au Costa Rica. Claudine & Christian nous ont aidé avec nos 1001 questions avec beaucoup d’enthousiasme et de générosité. Voyageant avec des jeunes enfants de 3 & 8 ans, la Villa fut parfaite : pas très loin de la plage et des épiceries, super propre et confortable, la piscine était géniale (température parfaite), l’espace extérieur est magnifique et super pour les moments relaxes et les soupers. Playa Grande et les environs était vraiment un bel endroit pour voir le Costa Rica. Nous y sommes allés en mai, et on a reçu aucune goutte de pluie. Les plages sont magnifiques et il y a plein de petits endroits à découvrir non loin. Merci encore Claudine et Christian, ce fut une semaine parfaite. On vous donne clairement la note de 100% en tant qu’hôte ainsi qu’à Annie pour ses réponses rapides. Merci! A une autre fois j’espère!

We LOVED this place. It was everything and more and we would absolutely stay there again. They were amazing in communication and made us feel right at home. See you soon!

It was amazing! Once we found our way around we were so grateful for this little Villa.

Thank you both so much, William! It was a pleasure to have you as guests! You're welcome back anytime! Claudine and Christian

Christian & Claudine’s beautiful villa was a super fit for our family of 2 adults & 3 teens! It was a home away from home. Tasteful decor, spacious rooms and each bedroom having its own en-suite was a real treat! Would 100% recommend this listing to anyone - it would suit families, couples or a group of friends. Christian & Claudine we’re great hosts - proving lots of information before end during our stay. Don’t hesitate to book - it’s exactly as per the photos - even better!

My family of 4 (2 adults and kids ages 8 and 10), along with 2 grandparents, stayed 1 week at this beautiful villa. It's very well constructed with sliding glass doors all around the back of the home, leading you out to the beautiful outdoor space. There are a few other homes around, but the lush greenery surrounding the property makes it feel very private. The home is equipped.  with everything you need and more. I stayed at 3 different villas during my stay in Costa Rica, and this was our favorite. It's close to beaches and  restaurants, beds are comfy with very nice bedding and pillows, lots of outdoor furniture, kitchen has everything. The entire home has ac. The home feels very homey and is decorated beautifully. The owners are super responsive, helpful,and very nice. I don't have anything negative or constructive to say. We loved our stay and love playa grande Beach and area. It was easy and quick for us to drive to Tamarindo day and night. Easy location to book many excursions.

Possibly our best Airbnb experience yet. Chris and Claudine are the perfect hosts. They are so responsive, have great local insights, clearly love their home and are committed to their guests having a great experience too. Playa Grande is an absolute gem of an area. It’s still quite untouched and so laid back. We loved Huerto for pizza, Jack Rip Inn for location and live music on Friday night and the local bakery for freshly baked baguettes. The home is beautifully and thoughtfully fitted out, from a yoga mat to chairs and a tent for the beach. The welcome experience is special too - a fruit hamper, some basics in the fridge and the fans on to ensure the temperature is right. Playa Grande is a fantastic beach. We spent most of our time here with our young son. We also loved Playa Flamingo- about a 20 min drive away. Thank you for such a special stay. Our only regret - three days was too short.

All good words for hosts. A family accessible at all times, good advice (we did all the outings offered by the hosts, suitable for our little family). The place is quiet and inspiring. The house, the nature around, the long beach and the great waves: we will keep a sunny memory of our perfect stay.

Que de bons mots pour les hôtes. Une famille accessible en tous temps, de bons conseils (nous avons fait toutes les sorties proposées par les hôtes, adaptées à notre petite famille). Le lieu est calme et inspirant. La maison, la nature autour, la plage longue et les grandes vagues : nous garderons un souvenir ensoleillé de notre séjour parfait.

Very responsive hosts + property manager. Arrival was ok, but pin sends you to the wrong house-so double check that. Kitchen is well stocked, and arrival basket of fruit + eggs is a nice touch. Beds are comfy with nice linens + thick towels. House is in good condition. Pool is smaller than u think. It's a plunge pool. Very windy area, so expect to keep cleaning the leaves. Outside area- you are really next to your neighbours on 2 sides. You can hear everything and so can they. Couch is comfy, and we spent a lot of time out there. We found it to be a little too low-key around the area, but this could be exactly what u want. 3 good restaurants very close-by are a huge plus. You really do want a car if you're staying here, though. We enjoyed our time at this casa + recommend it. We gave some suggestions, and the owners seem to be ready to implement them, so this casa will only get better!

Thank you so much Jill for your comments! Your feedback is really valuable to us!

We had a great stay at Christian & Claudine place. If you like to be in a smaller town beside a big town you’ll like to enjoy the plunge pool after a busy day.  There was not much to do in playa grande for us with a baby tho. Clean place and we really appreciated them finding a highchair for our baby. The outdoor is great to hangout. You’ll enjoy the rocking chair. Go try the pot and bowl restaurant they have very good healthy food . The property care taker Annie was really responsive.

Very beautiful property, three comfortable and beautiful rooms all with bathroom and an amazing private pool. Highly recommended. Excellent service.

Muy bella propiedad, tres cuartos cómodos y hermosos todos con baño y una piscina privada increíble. Muy recomendada. La atención excelente.

Villa Corazon is lovely, and the hosts are wonderful and extremely helpful. If you are looking for a place to relax and want to feel like I'm a botanical garden/zoo, it's a please for you to go. We live in Europe, so many things amazed us: squirrels, monkeys, exotic birds, but we also really enjoyed cats and dogs even if they are like at home. The villa is very nicely and peacefully located, and also great for surfers with Playa Grande nearby. The weather was amazing during our stay - just what we needed.

Thank you Leigha! We loved hosting you! Have a great trip in Costa Rica! Claudine and Chris

Playa Grande has always been one of my favorite places for a beach stay.   Nice and quiet, with a few restaurants and basic shops, and only 30-40 min to drive to Tamarindo if you want a more "touristy" spot.   The house was great for 3 couples, nicely equiped kitchen.  Loved the outdoor space around the pool.  Thanks again for the hospitality

Wow what a wonderful place to stay! Very private and perfect for our big family, with Grandparents able to have their own "casa". Great proximity to everything, beaches and stores. A perfect place to stay to relax and enjoy the birds and monkeys. Highly recommend staying here over Tamarindo. It was very quiet and peaceful. Thanks again to the lovely and super responsive hosts!

Wow, what a gem! We can't thank Christian & Claudine enough for their super fast reactivity that allowed us to stay a few nights in the fabulous house in beautiful and peaceful Playa Grande! The house was really great, lots of natural light, very well equipped and nicely decorated, with a super comfy patio and a pool which was lovely to play in with our daughter. The house is very close to the incredible beach of Playa Grande (and Ventana), just great to walk around, play in the sand or take a few waves. Nice restaurant opportunities around any time of the day, and a couple places to rent a surfboard. Don't hesitate on this one, go for it and you'll have an awesome time around, no regrets for sure and stars in your eyes! Pura vida.

Wow... Thank you so much for this fantastic comment! You just made our day! We were delighted to host your lovely family and yourself, and so happy you really enjoyed your stay! Claudine and Christian

Christian and Claudine were perfect hosts. The Villa is just as shown. The patio, dipping pool and palapa are a lovely place of repose. One of the best beaches in Costa Rica is a fifteen minute walk or four minute drive. The kitchen was well stocked on our arrival with lovely items like coffee, milk, eggs, bread and more so we did not have to shop right away. We ate in half the time and enjoyed the restaurants in the area. I recommend Rip Jack Hotel, the Grateful Hotel and La Cantarana. There is management team that helps immediately with any minor issues. Christian and Claudine respond immediately to any concerns and are just the best. I highly recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a really laid back vacation.

Thank you so much, John, for the lovely and precise review! We really hope to host you again! Claudine and Christian

A perfect stay at Claudine and Christian's villa! What a wonderful, peaceful place. The accuracy of the photos is remarkable (and it's even better in real life). All the comforts are there, and everything is well thought out for guests, whether it's in the ultra-equipped kitchen or in the other small details. It sleeps really well and the living space outside is large and inviting. In summary, we no longer wanted to leave this real little paradise! Thank you to our hosts!

Un séjour parfait à la villa de Claudine et Christian ! Quel endroit merveilleux et paisible. L'exactitude des photos est remarquable (et c'est encore mieux en vrai). Le confort est au rendez-vous et tout est bien pensé pour les voyageurs, que ce soit dans la cuisine ultra bien équipée que dans les autres petits détails. On y dort vraiment très bien et l'espace de vie à l'extérieur est vaste et accueillant. En résumé, nous ne voulions plus partir de ce véritable petit paradis ! Merci à nos hôtes !

Wonderful location and great communication. Was easy to find and check in was seamless. Annie was our host and was very helpful with everything we needed. We truly enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to coming back!!

Thank you so much Victor! We loved having you at the villa, youo were such wonderful guests! We hope to host you again soon! Claudine and Christian

We loved our stay at the Villa.  Everything is perfect.  Our hosts as well as the on-site team are very kind and easy to communicate with.  I highly recommend it

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à la Villa.  Tout est parfait.  Nos hôtes ainsi que l’équipe sur place sont très gentil et la communication est facile.  Je recommande chaudement

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this great villa. It was well set up and communication with Christian and Claudine was fantastic. We especially loved sitting in the covered outdoor area and watching the rain come down, and the family of monkeys we saw in the trees directly behind the villa was the icing on the cake. We would happily stay here again on our next visit. Thank you!

Christine and Claudine were absolutely wonderful host. All the information and helpful hints given in a timely fashion were truly appreciated. I’d highly recommend staying here. This place is absolutely beautiful.

This was a great place! Super comfortable. Loved having a washer and dryer and the towels were super comfy. Super close to beach and enjoyed the restaurants near by.

Christian and Claudine’s place was fantastic for our low-key family vacation. Location is quiet and it was easy to drive to various beaches on the coast. The place was very clean and the decor was bright and beautiful. We loved hearing the howler monkeys at night and my son loved visits from the neighbor dog and cat. Thank you again for a great stay!!

Beautiful home, well-appointed and decorated with everything you need. Just a 10 minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes to wonderful restaurants. Loved Playa Grande's chill vibe compared to more touristy, frenetic Tamarindo with is a 20-25 minute drive (and nice to be able to visit). The little pool is a great-plus after a day at the beach or other activities! Great hosts that were incredibly helpful and understanding given some of the flight issues we had which made us late checking in. Thank you for the fantastic stay!

We had a magical stay at the Villa. Everything was perfect, even better what we expected. Everything is there to spend beautiful days at the beach.

Nous avons passé un séjour magique à la Villa. Tout était parfait, encore mieux à quoi nous nous attendions. Tout y est pour pouvoir passer de belles journées à la plage.

Merci Caroline! C'était un plaisir de vous accueillir à la villa! Claudine et Christian

We totally enjoyed our stay! The villa is very comfortable and has a gorgeous outdoor area and pool. It was very relaxing, especially when it rained. The area feels private and secluded with only a few other villas around. It’s a 5-8 mins ride to Playa Grande and Playa Ventanas, both have a very laid back atmosphere, great waves and amazing sunsets. Communication with the host was great, very prompt and respectful. We were provided with recommendations,  and fruit basket and other items when we arrived. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much Ireli! It was a pleasure to host you! Christian and Claudine

Amazing house and location! The hosts were extremely accommodating, we had a fruit basket and some essentials waiting for us on arrival!! The beach is about a five minute drive..having the jungle feel and hearing the monkeys in the morning over coffee yet able to drive to the beach to surf makes this place fantastic! The restaurants around are also great!! Hope to definitely go back😊

We really enjoyed our one week stay at Villa Corazon. Christian, Claudine and Annie had open lines of communication with me during my entire stay to ensure everything was okay. Great value and location!

Thank you so much Fazley for your lovely comment! You were fantastic guests!

Christian & Claudine are AMAZING!! They are incredibly kind and fast to respond! Their onsite person Annie is also quick to respond with any needs and information. Their Villa is adorable and the backyard is beyond beautiful!! When we arrived there was fresh fruit and beer! There is a separate casita in the backyard with a large bed and full bathroom. The Villa is the perfect place to stay in and enjoy or drive out to one of the near by beaches. They provide beach towels too! There are also a handful of good restaurants close to eat at. I highly recommend staying at Villa Corazon! Pura Via!!

Dear Angie (and family!),  I really have no words to express how blessed we feel to host such amazing guests like yourself! Thank you for the amazing comments! Come back anytime! Claudine (and Christian)

Christian and Claudine’s place it’s amazing. The community is very secure and the location is perfect to explore different beaches. Their attention to detail and hospitality is great, and their house manager Annie was very helpful as well. The house is beautiful and filled with everything one may need to have a comfortable stay. I highly recommend them and their Villa!

Christian and Claudine were so responsive and proactively communicative. Their home was beautiful and we enjoyed it greatly.

Christian and Claudine are the perfect hosts. From the moment we booked we received responses to our inquiries in preparing our week. Upon arrival the rooms perfectly clean and beautifully decorated. We were greeted with the freshest and tastiest local fruit for our enjoyment. Every comfort of home from extra beach towels, natural soaps, dinnerware, cookware and appliances. A true sanctuary for family-time relaxation and enjoyment. We couldn’t have asked for better!!

We had a wonderful stay at Christian & Claudine'd villa, they are both very approachable, kind an flexible hosts. The villa is so unique and beautiful with all the essentials available. It is 5 mins drive to Playa Grande beach and very close to restaurants, bars and shops.  I will highly recommend this beautiful place and would for sure  love to come back. Aw and the kitchen living room is even much better than the photos! :)

Villa Corazon was exactly what we needed. A beautiful villa with absolutely no screens and overflowing with beauty and peace. As happy as we were with the beauty of the place what totally outshined it was the kindness of our host. Upon learning that my son had type 1 diabetes Claudine sent me information to local spots where I can buy specialty foods for our son. To me they embodied the PURA Vida lifestyle and kindness that all Ticos and ticas hold. As a Tica myself I felt so happy to be a part of their space and kindness during our stay. Thank you!

Dear Maria... I have chills reading your comment. It blows me away and it warms my heart. Thank you so much for your kindness! And we're so happy your family and yourself enjoyed your stay!  Claudine

Beautiful villa, location and time. We would stay again absolutely.

Highly recommended. Great hosts. The place is comfortable. Friendly. The divine beach.

Súper recomendado. Excelentes anfitriones. El lugar cómodo. Amigable. La playa divina.

Wow - what a beautiful home! Christian & Claudine were so helpful and responsive before and during our stay. We had to delay travel by four months and they accommodated our change in plans without issue. The house is beautifully decorated and modern. Christian and Claudine include everything you need - a well-appointed kitchen, a gorgeous outdoor space with several seating options, comfortable beds and lounge space inside, and tons of towels for the beach and pool. My friends and I so enjoyed our stay and would love to return in the future!

WOW! Is all I can say. Claudine and Christian’s villa is absolutely stunning. The pictures do not do it justice. Claudine, Christian and their house manager Annie were by far the most responsive helpful hosts I have ever had. They answered all my questions so quickly. Having never traveled to Costa Rica before we didn’t know what to expect and they made us feel at ease! You will NOT regret booking here. From the moment we arrived we walked outside and saw 4 howler monkeys sleeping in the trees, an iguana sunbathing on the rocks, countless birds. The outdoor space was our haven, even the Gardner came a few times to spruce up the space for us. The location was perfect for us. Playa Grande has such a wonderful relaxing pace to it compared to its neighbour Tamarindo. We found our spots pretty fast. The locals were absolutely friendly, and welcoming. This villa was within 5 minutes driving distance to all the necessities. An amazing swimwear shop across from the villa where a lovely lady hand makes the swimwear. I could go on for hours how amazing it was. It was so good we are already talking about renting there again! Thank you Christian, Claudine, Annie and Stephan!

this place is just as beautiful and clean as pictured. christian , Claudine and their house manager were also great hosts with the best communication, they often answered questions before I even had the chance to ask. would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much Shantal! We really appreciate your beautiful comments! And we hope to host you again!

This is a lovely place and the photos and description are very accurate. It was perfect for two couples traveling together. We made breakfast each morning and enjoyed the monkeys and birds in the outside space. It’s walkable to great restaurants, a brewery and the beach. It’s close to Tamarindo on the beaches north as well.

It was a true pleasure to host you, Kathi! Thank you for this beautiful review!

Villa Corazon is a lovely home. The house is modern and super well thought out. It has 3 large comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped. The outdoor living area is splendid, intimate and very quiet. The small pool allows us to cool off throughout the day. The villa is well located. Easy to reach and close to several amenities, such as restaurants, mini grocery stores, surf lessons and especially the beautiful, large and not very busy beach of Playa Grande. Several small villages and restaurants less than 30 minutes' drive away. Check in and check out of the villa is easy and quick. Communication with hosts was easy and efficient. I would recommend this villa without hesitation for pure moments of happiness and relaxation. Pura Vida!

Villa Corazon est une charmante demeure. La maison est moderne et super bien pensée. Elle possède 3 grandes chambres confortables. La cuisine est bien équipée. L’aire de vie extérieure est splendide, intime et très calme. La petite piscine nous permet de se rafraîchir tout au long de la journée. La villa est bien située. Facile d’accès et près de plusieurs commodités, comme des restaurants, mini-épiceries, cours de surf et surtout la belle, grande et peu achalandée plage de Playa Grande. Plusieurs petits villages et restaurants à moins de 30 minutes de voiture. L’arrivée et le départ de la villa sont faciles et rapides. La communication avec les hôtes était facile et efficace. Je recommande sans hésitations cette villa pour de purs moments de bonheur et de détente. Pura Vida!

Merci Karina pour ces magnifiques commentaires! Nous sommes vraiment heureux d'avoir pu vous accueillir à la villa!

what an incredible place! the dream ! the house is impeccable, intimate, near the beach (Playa Grande and several others not too far by car), we quickly felt at home. The hosts are very responsive , thank you Claudine and Christian😊

quel endroit incroyable! le rêve ! la maison est impeccable, intime, près de la plage (playa Grande et plusieurs autres pas très loins en voiture), on c'est vite senti chez nous.Les hôtes sont très réactifs , merci Claudine et Christian😊

Very nice house, and nicely decorated. Annie the manager is very attentive to the well-being of holidaymakers. The house is as described on the listing, and we particularly appreciated the small touches left upon arrival.

Maison très agréable, et joliment décorée. Annie la gérante est très attentive au bien être des vacanciers. La maison est telle que décrite sur l'annonce, et nous avons particulièrement apprécié les petites attentions laissées à notre arrivée.

Amazing place. Good communication with the host however when leaving we felt intimidated by the cleaners who were taking pictures of us? But over all amazing stay

Wow! After finding our way to the location (mind that turn off the asphalt onto the dirt road, it’s a doozy!) we all walked in and had to take a moment to soak in the vibes of Christian & Claudine’s place, it’s magazine quality. We took advantage of the washer and dryer, the pool, the patio, and the kitchen! We appreciated NOT having access to a tv. Use the patio the first night, that’s when it will be it’s most pristine, you’re surrounded by trees and by day three you have a solid appreciation for what it takes to maintain an emasculate patio in Costa Rica. The beds were comfortable, air conditioning in each room was great! We were roughly 10 minutes from the coast, where we went horseback riding and watched the sunset on the beach. Do you favor and splurge on this place if you have any r&r time in your travels, if you have a packed schedule, you might be tempted to blow off your plans and stay in instead.

Thank you so much Sonya! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay in Playa Grande! And thank you for the amazing and detailed review! We really hope to host you all again! Claudine and Christian

My husband and two children (age 15 and 18) stayed in Christian and Claudine's house for 5 nights. The house is beautiful and looks exactly like the pictures. When we arrived, we were welcomed with a basket of fresh fruit (a pineapple, a papaya, a mango, an orange, and some limes), a 6-pack of beer, milk, eggs, and coffee. There was sugar available as well. The house has a coffee maker, a toaster, and a blender. Christian and Claudine were very responsive to my questions and answered within an hour. There is a local contact, Annie, who was a phone call away who helped me directly with any questions I had. We went to the local grocery up the road and got supplies. We also drove to Huacas and went to a grocer there. Both were fine and had the basics. There are three bedrooms with one bedroom in its own detached building. This was ideal for us. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom, my 15 year old stayed in the other bedroom in the main house, and my 18 year old had his own space! The master bedroom gets light with the sunrise. That was absolutely fine for us. We are early risers! When we sat by the pool in the mornings and evening, we heard howler monkeys. Unfortunately, I never saw them! The house is on a dirt road about a 20 minute walk or a 2 minute drive on the main road to the beach. We drove and walked. It was a pleasant walk. We rented surf boards from Jeanette at Matos Surf Shop. She was extremely helpful and had get boards for rent. My daughter and I both purchased swimsuits from Bahia, a swimsuit shop across the street from the community where Christian and Claudine's house is located. We went ziplining at Monkey Jungle about a 30-minute drive from the house. We did see monkeys in the tree tops while we were ziplining. I would definitely rent this house again!

Dear Carrie and family,  It was so great to have you all here! We are so happy that the villa made your stay comfortable and enjoyable for the entire family. We wanted families to feel welcome here, and to feel like the villa was designed for their comfort... So for us, reading this is just priceless!! We really appreciate all the details you put in your review, and I'm sure readers will find them helpful as well.   We really hope to host you again! Claudine and Chris

My family and I stayed at this beautifully designed villa over Christmas and new year and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is modern, tastefully designed and is located  close to playa grande and some lovely cafes and restaurants. The kitchen is well equipped and we particularly enjoyed spending time in the outdoor area each evening and having dinner al fresco. The pool was the perfect size for our two small children to enjoy daily. We loved seeing the monkeys on the trees outside and the other Costa Rican wildlife. I would highly recommend this location and the owners have gone out of there way to make sure our stay was perfect. They were extremely kind and easy to communicate with despite it being the holiday season.

Thank you so much, Mario, for this lovely review! Christian and myself feel so lucky we've had you as a guest!

Great stay! We loved everything. The villa is clean, modern and well equipped. The kids loved the beautiful pool. Christian and Claudine are very welcoming and answer all your questions quickly. Check-in went well. Rent without hesitation, you won't be disappointed.

Superbe séjour! Nous avons tout aimé. La villa est propre, moderne et bien équipée. Les enfants ont adoré la belle piscine. Christian et Claudine sont très accueillants et répondent rapidement à toutes vos questions. Le check-in s'est bien passé. Louez sans hésité, vous ne serez pas déçus.

This is probably the nicest place I've stayed. worth the every penny!! Christian and Claudine were a pleasure to deal with. they responded immediately. highly recommend a stay!
