6BR villa in Playa Grande

Chic Surf house w/ Pool, 4min walk to Playa Grande - Houses for Rent in Playa Grande, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Casa Amuga was gorgeous and was a great fit for our group of 8 ladies for my bachelorette! Cris was a very responsive concierge and was super helpful with recommendations. Yami was our house mom and was incredible! Her gallo pinto was to die for!! The house has everything you could need. Playa Grande is a small, quiet surf town - if you don’t have your own vehicle, I STRONGLY recommend renting golf carts (check out Go Grande, Ty has the best rates in the area). It is a bumpy road that is not well-lit, so if you plan on leaving the house, you def need a vehicle. I do feel like upon arrival, we were given so many instructions it was a bit overwhelming after a long travel day. The alarm system is a bit complicated because there are 3 rooms outside of the main house. The 2 bunk rooms are in a separate bachelor house and there’s a single room alone outside by the pool. Overall it was a beautiful stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to return!! Thanks Cris and Yami for a beautiful stay ❤️

Amazing stay for our girls' trip! Cris was so helpful with all of our questions. It was a bit hard to communicate with 3rd party tours that we booked, since there is not an exact address, but we sent the coordinates to the house and was able to direct the driver to pick us up. The villa is amazing and our house mom Yami was the absolute best. Yami's guac was the best any of us have ever had and it stayed so green to the next day! For grocery, there is a local fruit stand or a small market nearby. You can walk to these places, but we recommend renting a golf cart during your stay. There is a rental place around the corner or Cris can send a recommendation - although her rec comes from Tamarindo so there is a $100 travel fee. The beach is also a short golf cart drive away. Tamarindo is 30 mins away and uber is NOT reliable. Since most Ubers are located in Tamarindo, there's no incentive for them to take a cheap ride far away to Playa Grande. We recommend getting a shuttle - ask Cris!

Where do I start? This is such a beautiful home and location! Everything my group and I had hoped for and more. The house is a few minute walk from the beach, which never gets too crowded and has amazing views, especially for those looking to get great sunset photos. Cris helped us with recommendations, connecting us to transportation, and answered any questions we had, making our trip a breeze! The house mom, Yami, did wonderful job helping us feel at home,  providing breakfast and snacks! This is an amazing place to stay for a Costa Rican adventure!

We had an incredible week at Casa Amuga. Cris provided awesome recommendations and helped us settle in. The house was gorgeous and had everything we needed, and Yami (the ‘house mom’) was wonderful! It was a perfect escape, and we hope to be back again soon

We had a great stay! The house is beautiful and well laid out for a party of any size. It is a quick walk to the beach and very private. Cris was wonderfully helpful and friendly. Great experience all around.

We loved our stay in Playa Grande! The house is even more beautiful (and larger) than the pictures-which was perfect for our large group traveling together. The casita with bunks is not connected to the main house, which is good to note if traveling with younger kids…but would be perfect for older kids. The house is beautiful and a short walk to the beach. Would recommend a golf cart or car rental to get to restaurants/surf board rental locations, etc. Cris goes above and beyond to make your trip incredible. We felt so taken care of by her during our trip, and she was incredibly quick to respond and help out when we needed anything. Truly an incredible host. Yami is also amazing! She was there to cook and clean and do laundry at the house and we were so lucky to have her there. She made delicious breakfasts for us! Overall, a great spot in the jungle just a short walk from the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for your amazing words Spencer!~ Yami is very special and I have to give her the 5 starts to her amazing service. Yami and Cris appreciate your amazing comment and hope you return!!

The only drawback were the roads into the house, very bumpy. And the internet went out for a few days. Grandkids weren't happy about that! Cris was very helpful in planning our excursions and got back to us in a very short time.  Yamy, who came to make breakfast, clean the bathrooms and bedrooms, make Pina coladas and guacamole in the afternoon for us was amazing!! We loved having her there!! The house was perfect for the 13 of us and liked that we were within walking distance of the beach and small little restaurants were also very good. Thank you for a wonderful 12 days in Playa Grande, Costa Rica.

Kristine awe truly loved having you and loved that the home was perfect for you and your guests. Yami and Cris work hard to make sure everything rolls smoothly for our guests and take back great memories!

We had a group of 10 girls arrive for our stay but we had a bumpy ride getting to our visit due to airline delays. Cris was FABULOUS and accommodated all of our needs. The house was gorgeous and we had an amazing time at the Airbnb. Would highly recommend and use this Airbnb again.

The home was exceptional. Plenty of space for our family of 6. Beautiful, functional, full of great small amenities. Quick walk to an incredible beach, a mini-mart & local restaurants (Pots & Bowl, Las Olas, Onda). Cris & Yami provided great service. Cris was always quick to respond and provide recommendations. Great location to explore the surrounding areas (ATV excursion, La Leona, Playa Conchal, Tamarindo, horseback riding).

Cris was amazing! She responded to all my concerns, helped book excursions and provided information for Transportation.

We had a great time! The house was fantastic and as advertised!

Great house for multiple families.  The house is covered in glass which makes it very enjoyable during the day, but the house is very noisy at night.

Thank you for staying with us Ryan. The house is located oil the jungle and we do have wildlife around. Thank you for the feedback we appreciate you choosing the house and that you liked it.

Amazing stay! Couldn't have picked a better home, location, and host. The photos does this place no justice. When I walk into the property, I was completely blown away. Cris our host was amazing to work with. Waited for us to arrive, even after we were stuck in traffic for hours. Had a minor accident with a TV and Cris was very professional and understanding and handled the manner with ease. The young lady who helped around the property everyday, was also amazing and super sweet and made us feel right at home. All in all, it was an amazing stay! It would be unwise not stay here. So book NOW before I do! :)

Let me start of by saying the house is beautiful and the location is pretty good close to restaurants and the beach (though the walk to the beach is not as straightforward as they make it seem, there is a straight path but you have to walk through some light water or go on the edge near the trees). Overall I gave a 3 stars because the house needs serious maintenance, the roof was falling in near the front door, the AC units and hot water were unreliable, the sliding patio door had water leaking in, and at one point the garage door did not work and we could not use our car because of it. There was a tropical storm while we were there but the main issues were still a problem before and after that. Still, the hostess Cristina and housekeeper were amazing and promptly responded to all of our issues and gave us a partial refund. If they fix all of the maintenance issues that I brought to their attention this place would have been much more enjoyable.

Thank you for your detailed feedback regarding your recent stay at our property. We appreciate your kind words about the location and the service provided by our hostess Cristina and the housekeeper. We are sorry to hear about the maintenance issues you experienced during your stay. Your feedback is very valuable to us, we have already addressed these issues promptly to ensure a more enjoyable experience for our future guests. We are glad to hear that our team was able to respond promptly to your concerns and provide a partial refund. We are dedicated to providing a pleasant stay for all our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Casa Amuga was the perfect location for our group (7 adults and 3 kids aged 8-10). The pool was a good size for the kids to play around in for hours, there are always sunny and shady spots to hang out in throughout the day, the rooms are all a good size and each one has a bathroom and it’s walking distance to the beach. Our host , Cris, helped us arrange 2 amazing chefs for dinners throughout the week and made sure we had everything we needed. There is a “housemom” who comes and makes breakfast most days and cleans up. Her name was Daniella, she was very kind and helpful and made us delicious cocktails, guacamole and pico de gallo. The area is quiet and away from the busyness of other beaches but easy driving distance to great attractions. It was a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend it.

Truly everything about Cara Amuga was exceptional. Beautiful villa, amazing beach that was only steps away, fabulous support staff, very clean and modern amenities galore. So much fun in the pool and we saw Coatis and Howler Monkeys most days! Our concierge Cris was very responsive, kind and helpful and our in-house support Dani was also so lovely and took fabulous care of us. We had groceries delivered in advance - so grateful for this service, went on a catamaran trip and had many transportation supports lined up through Cris — this was also really appreciated.  After seeing several beaches, Playa Grande was our fave for sure and walking to playa carbon to see the black sand is highly recommended. Those Playa Grande sunsets are incredible! Thank you so much!

Thank you Moira for this lovely review!! We hope to see you again!

Great stay.  Host was very responsive.  The house mom, Dani, was amazing

Thank you Scott!! we hope to see you again!

A spectacular place,  with unbeatable access to one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, those sunsets that renew energy and take us to deep meditation, the house just like the pictures, beautiful, clean and the attention with a lot of human warmth, very grateful to Cristina for the attention given to our family, would we definitely come back? Definitely yes!

Un lugar espectacular,  con un acceso inmejorable a una de las playas más hermosas de Costa Rica, esos atardeceres que renuevan energías y nos llevan a profunda meditación, la casa tal como las imágenes, hermosa, limpia y la atención con mucha calidez humana, muy agradecidos con Cristina por la atención brindada a nuestra familia, volveríamos? Definitivamente si!

Erick, than you soo much for your review! We loved having you!

Beautiful pristine new house only a few minutes walk to the waves. Exactly as pictured. I loved it and want to go back. Christine the property manager was great at dealing with all requests and pointing us to great restaurants - and Daniela the house keeper made a delicious brunch and kept the house spotless. I’d definitely go back to walk along the beautiful beaches, surf, and eat at both Pots & Bowls plus Casa Inti again and again! For anyone needing to stay connected to the office like me the WiFi was fast - video calls no problem. The day we arrived it was slow but Christine had it fixed right away. Short power outages seem to last a few seconds to minutes almost daily in Costa Rica but LTE cell connection was strong and reliable backup! If you want to relax and/or work you’ll get the best of both worlds- disconnected and connected at the same time. And extremely well fed!

Kerry, thank you for staying with us we loved have you, and hope to see you again in the near future!
