Privacy upstairs, endless interaction possibilities downstairs. You pick. No where else can boast such a set-up. 2 x 2 bed...
The Space
If you enjoy socializing but also value privacy, this property offers the perfect balance. Upstairs, you have your own private, spacious apartment, while downstairs provides ample opportunities for interaction. This unique setup is hard to find elsewhere.
The property consists of two separate apartments, each with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, accommodating 4 to 8 guests comfortably. A large terrace with a barbecue overlooks the pool area. Even if the calendar shows full booking, feel free to contact us as we have two identical apartments available.
Located above Playa Grande's premier surf shop, guests benefit from a dedicated staff downstairs ready to assist. As a guest, you receive a 20% discount on equipment rentals and surfing lessons at the shop. Concierge services are available, allowing you to engage with others when you wish, while still enjoying your own space.
Guests often comment:
- "Wow! I never knew something this great existed above the shop!"
- "We must book this place next time we visit."
- "I’m going to tell my friends back home about this place."
- "You’ve really found your niche here."
Although recently listed on Airbnb, the property has excellent reviews from years of service on TripAdvisor and VRBO. More information is available on the Frijoles Locos Surf Shop website.
Guest Access
The pool is shared between the two apartments. A bamboo fence offers some separation between the pool area and the back of the surf shop, but the pool area is not fully private.
Staff will be working nearby and are respectful of your space, though you may hear them during their duties. Amenities include:
- Outdoor hot water shower by the pool
- Poolside restroom
- Separate upstairs rancho area, ideal for relaxing, practicing yoga, or for teenagers to hang out quietly
The rancho is a peaceful spot where you can work or unwind without interruptions.
Laundry facilities are managed by the cleaning staff, who have Sundays and Mondays off. One load of laundry is included free with a 7-day stay; additional loads cost $10 each.
Water restrictions are currently in effect. Guests are asked to use water responsibly. Detailed guidelines will be provided upon reservation confirmation. If these policies do not suit your vacation style, you may cancel without penalty within five days of booking.
Location
Playa Grande, Costa Rica, is a stunning destination featuring over 4 kilometers of white sandy beach, perfect for long walks. Between October and February, you can witness Leatherback Turtles nesting on the shore.
This area is a surfer’s paradise suitable for all skill levels, offering something enjoyable for everyone.

Tout est conforme à la description. Les chambres sont grandes avec de l'espace pour ranger nos effets personnels. La cuisine est bien équipée, avec des plats pour ranger nos restants. La climatisation est fonctionnelle et adéquate. Les pièces refroidissent rapidement. Bien qu'il ait un magasin sous l'appartement, nous avons eu notre intimité et n'avons pas été dérangé par l'équipe de travail. Drew est très gentil et accomondant. il répond rapidement aux messages et propose de bonnes suggestions. Il nous a aidé pour faire reparer une crevaison sur la voiture. Il a été d'une grande aide. La piscine esit super. Nous en avons profité lors de nos retours d'activités. Nous avons pu observer les singes hurleurs pendant de nombreuses minutes. Il en avait tellement qui passaient devant nous. C'était une autoroute à singe. Et que dire de son instructeurs de surf qui est vraiment très sympa et encourageant (merci Yoani !!!!) nous recommandons cet hébergement sans aucune hésitation! merci Drew

We LOVED our stay above the Frijoles Locos Surf Shop. The accommodations were perfect for our family of four. The location was an enjoyable, easy walk to everything we needed: the beach, groceries, and restaurants. Drew was an incredible host and his staff was very attentive and kind - assuring each day that are needs were met. They even graciously provided a 20% discount on all rentals at the surf shop. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and the setting was idyllic with a gorgeous pool and plenty of wildlife (iguanas, birds, and nearby howler monkeys). We look forward to staying here again for our next visit to Playa Grande.

wir waren als Familie mit 2 Kindern in Playa Grande und haben und in der Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Pool ist super und die Terrasse perfekt um zu entspannen. drew und sein Team waren immer freundlich und gut zu erreichen. wir haben Surfstunden direkt im Shop gebucht. Giovanni war als Surf-Lehrer richtig super und ist auf alle Familien Mitglieder perfekt eingegangen. wir waren mit der Lage sehr zufrieden. nah genug zum Strand und Restaurants um auch mal das Auto stehen lassen zu können.

We had a great time here and Drew was an excellent and accommodating host. Spacious enough for 4 adults plus a baby. Super close to the beach and places to eat, but still quiet especially at night. Great pool. Would gladly come back!

We loved our stay at Drew’s place! Very walkable, close to the beach and all of the restaurants and amenities Playa Grande has to offer. Drew was a very kind and communicative host, and even helped us reserve a fishing charter (would highly recommend this excursion)! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good local spot in Playa Grande!

Drew was an excellent host and his place is great proximity from the beach (10 min walk). We loved coming back and cooling off in the pool. Having the surf shop under the Airbnb was helpful to grab sunscreen and rent boogie and surf boards.

Drew was very accommodating with our late arrival - detailed instructions were left for us, and he was gracious enough to turn in the a/c to cool down the apartment for our arrival. Communication through the app, or by phone was easy and quick, and he was always available for a chat or recommendation in person too!

Not well kept. It felt like everything and everyone is just a bother and treated as though we were an inconvenience to the host. Not so Pura Vida.
