Good spot overall. The place was clean and spacious. The outdoor porch and pool areas were great. There was a minor sewage odour that we notified the host of. The main living area (kitchen & lounge) did not have air conditioning (only a ceiling fan), however the bedrooms were equipped with individual units and fans.

Lovely place with a great pool and a nice private terrace

We had a great time with the family. The place is peaceful, with a beautiful tropical garden. Having two full bathrooms was greatly appreciated. The private pool was a big plus for the kids, and the outdoor shower was very pleasant, especially when returning from the beach. Everything is close by, including the beach and restaurants. We highly recommend Benoit's house for a stay in Playa Grande.

I liked everything. Thank you.

Overall, our stay at Benito's place was a good experience. The house was clean, and both bedrooms had strong AC. The outdoor area is a major highlight: the wooden deck is highly relaxing, and the pool is just steps away. Inside, the living room is spacious with a Chromecast TV. The kitchen covers the basics, though only one stove burner worked. For privacy, adding a bathroom door would be a great upgrade. Benito was away traveling back from San Jose on our last day, but he made sure to get back to us as soon as he returned to the property. Playa Grande is very quiet with no nightlife, live music, or evening activities, offering just surfing and a handful of restaurants. Wildlife is abundant; we saw many iguanas, squirrels, and birds, especially in the morning.

This accomodation is a great value for the money. Clean, calm, everything you need is there. Ben was a great host, and Alex kindly showed me the shortcut to the beach.

Great location. Everything was very clean and beautiful

We spent a nice week as a family at Ben's house. The place is close to the beach. It's a house with a lot of character. We had a last-minute setback and Ben was super friendly. Thank you for everything!

Casa Árbol was a wonderful stay here in Playa Grande that offered incredible hospitality from Benoit, Alex, and especially Tubita (cat). The easy access to the pool and a short drive to the beach allowed us to have flexibility to explore the quaint town for our 3 night stay. We loved being able to grill and build community with our neighbors at Casa Vida which is situated close by, but still incredibly private. The host, Ben, offered us a tour to the walking trail to the beach, which we ended up declining, but was a very kind gesture to help us feel right at home. Free self-serve laundry with a dryer helped us get refreshed during the last half our week stay in Costa Rica. For cat people, I cannot recommend this place enough. Tubita, the queen of hospitality, made our stay feel just like home as she welcomed herself in on our first night and kept us company for the evenings. We hope to be back soon and are so grateful for the experience. Pura Vida!

Wonderful location , very peaceful and quiet🤩 well equipped kitchen with a big fridge. Enjoyed the wonderful pool !

Excellent location everything in order

Lovely place, everything was as described and we enjoyed a lot the pool and playing with the cat that was around. Can recommend!

Casa Arbol is a wonderful place to relax on the expansive patio and take in the beautiful surroundings while hearing the ocean waves in the distance. The neighborhood is quiet, with the only sounds coming from nature. An inquisitive gray fox appeared at the door briefly. As dog and cat lovers, we also temporarily adopted the resident cat who was the perfect host.
