5 minutes walk from the beach | 3 bedrooms villa - Houses for Rent in Playa Grande, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We loved staying here and cannot wait to be back. The house is beautiful and incredibly well stocked as well as designed to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. The pool was great and sparkling clean. Restaurants and the beach are all only a short walk. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime! 😊

House was beautiful and a 5 minute walk to the beach. Stayed here with my family of 4 and my dad, plenty of room for everyone. Loved the pool! Easy access to the beach down the road and lots of local spots. Host was incredibly responsive and I had a lot of questions initially. Would highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay in Playa Grande.  Casa Zuma is gorgeous and filled with amenities.  We felt safe, secure and loved being able to walk to the beach and local restaurants.  Playa Grande is a quiet little beach town which we loved calling home for a week.  Thanks to Josee and her co-hosts for a fantastic getaway with our family.

Thank you, Lindsay, for this wonderful review! We sincerely hope to welcome you back to Casa Zuma 🏖️☀️

Amazing location and extremely responsive/helpful concierge service! Beautiful Airbnb - pictures don’t do the house enough justice on how beautiful it is.

Thank you very much for choosing to stay with us. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly hope to welcome you back again very soon.

This was one of the nicest airbnb's we've ever stayed in. It is an amazing value for the quality and location. The host has thought of every possible amenity you might need for a Costa Rica/Playa Grande vacation and provided a high quality version of it. Josee as our host was a gem of a guy and was quick to answer any of our questions about the house and area. The coffee bar was a very nice surprise--aside from a normal coffee maker there was a great burr grinder and semi-automatic espresso machine. It rained quite a bit during out first three days but the covered patio made it very pleasant to enjoy the evenings outdoors as well as the well maintained pool. The house is about a 5 minute (flat) walk to Playa Grande on a well lit road by other businesses that made us feel very safe. Some areas of this neighborhood are very dark and hilly. Every room had it's own mini split A/C unit but with the high ceilings and ceiling fans the house did not need A/C 24/7.

We had the most perfect stay at Casa Zuma. We could not ask for anything more. The location was perfect with cute restaurants and the beach nearby. The house is immaculate! Spotless and GORGEOUS! The flow of the home and the views of the pool and patio are amazing. I did not want to leave. Thank you Josee for the most comfortable stay. We loved Costa Rica and will be back to stay at Casa Zuma. Thank you so much. Keep up the amazing work :)

This house is very well located- 5 min walk to the beach- which makes it very easy to go to an early walk or run at the beach but also come back and enjoy the sunset. The pool is spectacular- extremely relaxing, peaceful and private. Very convenient house with no stairs or sub-levels at all - ideal for senior citizens with mobility issues. A home away from home

Super beautiful home. Very close to everything walking distance to food places market and the beach! Much appreciated because we did not have a car. The host got us in touch with transportation, private massage that came to us, and a chef. So much bathrooms, little things like bug spray was provided, filtered water, beach chairs, bags, surf boards, extra towels for the beach. Coffee maker, with the proper things provided to make it to, air fryer , microwave, out door kitchen tables etc she thought of everything needed! Any issues we had was taken care of which was only one and under 15 min someone came to handle it (I couldn’t locate pool remote). Felt super safe! Perfect neighborhood if you love the beach literally up the street! The pool was so beautiful and clean! No extra leaves, branches or anything in it which was surprising since we were close to the forest. Alot of animal noises but limited bugs and not interruptions from the wild life, great stay.

Beautiful villa that is minutes walk to the beach. The villa is very clean and well maintained. Air conditioning worked great when needed. The outdoor sitting area and pool are amazing! We would 100% come back to this villa next time we are in Playa Grande!

The place was amazing.  Better than expected.  I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Casa Zuma was fabulous. To quote my kids: "Can this just be our house?" Everything worked well and there were some surprise bonuses in the form of boogey boards, beach chairs and umbrella and cooler to take to the beach. The house is located within easy walking distance of several restaurants and a great tennis/pickleball court. Be sure to head to the end of the road to watch a sunset over Playa Grande and head into the Palm Beach Estates to hit up Cafe Mar Azul. (I understand there are also water taxis down there somewhere for a quick hop over to Tamarindo but we admittedly never found them).

What a wonderful house. We stayed with our two kids (10&13) and my sister and her husband. Playa grande was our favorite beach spot of the whole trip!  Fun waves for the kids and great for surf lessons!  The house is walkable to the beach, but we drove and parked the car right on the beach since we had a lot of gear to carry. Lots of nearby restaurants and fun atmosphere. The pool was great and overall beautiful and wonderful house. Loved having on-suite bathrooms (we weren’t used to having to throw ALL toilet paper in the trash and not the toilet, so that was the only complaint from our group)…but the outdoor trash container was right outside the property, so easy to dispose of waste. Jose was quick to respond when we had questions. Would definitely go back!

We absolutely loved our 2-week stay at Casa Zuma. The house was splendid, even more beautiful than in the photos. This house is a real paradise close to the beach. The hosts were very friendly. We hope to return and stay there again in the near future to relive the Pura Vida! ☀️🐢

Nous avons adoré notre séjour de 2 semaines à la Casa Zuma. La maison était splendide, encore plus belle que sur les photos. Cette maison est un vrai paradis à proximité de la plage. Les hôtes était très sympathiques. Nous espérons bien retourner y séjourner dans un futur rapproché pour revivre la Pura vida! ☀️🐢

Thank you so much, Élisabeth-Anne, for this wonderful review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Zuma. It was a real pleasure to host you, and we hope to welcome you again very soon to experience Pura Vida once more! ☀️🐢

We travel frequently and this particular vacation was special because it was for my son's senior trip. We were able to spend an incredible amount of quality time together and all agreed it was the best vacation we had ever been on. The home was stunning and looked exactly like the pictures. I already have friends asking for the link to Casa Zuma so they can book it for themselves.

Thank you so much for your beautiful review. We’re honored you chose Casa Zuma for such a special family trip. It means the world to us that it became your best vacation yet. We’d love to welcome you back anytime. Pura vida ✨

Great location. Great home! Strongly recommend.

Also great for kids!

WOW!!!
We stayed 1 week in January 2026, in bi-generation mode. 
The casa was impeccable, spacious, luxurious and very recent. The hosts were easily reachable and available, all the information was perfectly clear and true to reality. The photos represented the exact places. The amenities were of excellent quality. We would recommend it in a second! It was 10/10

WOW !!! Nous avons séjourné 1 semaine de janvier 2026, en mode bi-génération. La casa était impeccable, vaste, luxueuse et très récente.

Les équipements étaient d'excellente qualité. Nous recommandons sans hésitation ! C'était 10/10

Thank you, it was a wonderful stay and the house was really perfect. We hope to come back!!!

Merci c’était un magnifique séjour et la maison était vraiment parfaite. On espère revenir!!!

Merci Jean Pierre, nous sommes heureux de savoir que vous avez passé du bon temps. A bientôt! 😊

A beautiful property to relax and have a wonderful vacation, well equipped with everything you need, the pool and patio area great to gather and enjoy.  Hosts are very responsive and helpful. The location is great - close to the beach and lots of good restaurants close by. Highly recommend and hope to return.

Everything matches the description. Beautiful home. What made the trip that much easier was how quickly the host would respond to my messages. Thank you so much. Birthday trip was a 10/10.

Josee and the co-hosts were so welcoming and responsive. The place is beautiful and well equipped for cooking, unwinding and relaxing. They provided us with some local fruits and turned on the air conditioning for our arrival so we were comfortable. Instructions for check in and check out were super easy. We had an issue where an animal visited and left their poo on the patio and it was resolved within less than half an hour. We will definitely be staying here again.

Thank you so much, Davy, for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the warm welcome, the comfort of the villa, and the little touches prepared for your arrival. It truly means a lot to us. We’d be very happy to host you again. Pura vida! 🏝️

Loved this spot, even better than the pictures!

Such an amazing stay, super close to Playa Grande. Was so well equipped, they have thought of everything. We had such a lovely time and especially loved the pool!

BOOK!! Best hosts, home, location and everything you could possibly need/want/think of!!!

This Airbnb is beautiful inside and out. Very large a spacious rooms all equipped with their own personal bathroom. It was easy to communicate with the hosts and we felt safe behind our gates. The location was 25 minutes from the nearby town of Tamarindo. If I flew into a closer airport such as Liberia, I would definitely visit again!

Just WOW! Such a beautiful place and wonderful people. My friend and I visited for my son’s 2nd birthday. Everything was amazing! The hospitality was top tier best I’ve ever had. I would choose this air bnb over any hotel or resort any day just because the people were so wonderful. Marina answered all of our questions and helped us with little to no wait, she was always available. The concierge service was amazing! Samatha is such a beautiful person she helped me find a place that designs birthday cakes and delivered it personally. Olma was our driver,  he was very flexible always on time and very patient. My friend is disabled and he made sure to help her whenever she needed to walk each day.He also helped us clean garbage and other items. Not apart of his job but he always made sure to go above and beyond! I do wish there were televisions in the rooms so my son can watch a movie to fall asleep but besides that everything was perfect plus more !!!! I will love to return in the future.

Casa Zuma is a beautiful home. It has everything you need to make your stay feel like home.  This house accommodated a group of 7 for a birthday celebration. The hosts were responsive for any request. The house is within walking distance from the beach. I would recommend staying at this house while in Costa Rica.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you and your group enjoyed your stay and birthday celebration at Casa Zuma. It was a pleasure hosting you all, and you’re welcome back anytime!

We had an incredible stay at Casa Zuma! Josee and the team were truly exceptional hosts — so warm, welcoming, and thoughtful. They went above and beyond to make our family feel at home, even purchasing a pack ’n play and a high chair just for our baby’s stay. The home itself is gorgeous — peaceful, beautifully designed, and the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway in Playa Grande.

Josee’s hospitality didn’t stop there; when we accidentally brought their Wi-Fi extender with us (our baby decided to “pack” it!), they were incredibly kind and helpful in resolving the situation. That level of understanding and care really shows the type of hosts they are.

We can’t recommend Casa Zuma enough — it’s a perfect blend of beauty, comfort, and genuine hospitality. We would stay here again in a heartbeat

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your time at the villa, it means a lot to us. You were wonderful guests, and we’d love to host you again anytime!

Our stay was overall wonderful! The home itself is absolutely beautiful — very clean, spacious, and exactly as pictured. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, even when unexpected things happened (a ceiling fan fell and, surprisingly, a tree fell into the pool). Despite those challenges, she handled everything quickly and made sure we were well taken care of.


The concierge service was a huge bonus — it made planning our excursions so easy and stress-free. The chefs were amazing as well and even helped my fiancé coordinate his proposal, which made the trip unforgettable.

We truly appreciated the way the host went above and beyond to accommodate us and even compensated us for the inconveniences. Overall, a lovely property, an attentive host, and a memorable experience!

Our experience with Airbnb has reached new heights with this stay. Josee was an exceptional host, with excellent communication and responsiveness. The house itself is stunning, and the terrace and pool provide a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. We greatly appreciated the thoughtful amenities provided for our trips to the beach. My family and I had such a wonderful time that we will certainly recommend this property to our friends interested in visiting Costa Rica. Thank you for being such a fantastic host; we look forward to returning!

We truly appreciate your thoughtful review. It’s wonderful to know the villa met your expectations, and we’d be glad to welcome you back whenever you wish.

Le plaisir fut partagé, merci du fond du cœur! Pura vida 🌴

This house is awesome! Every single part of the house screams “peace”. Love the master bedroom view. The pool is heaven. Very accessible to anyone with mobility issues. Loved this house!

Thank you Mario for your kind words! We’re so happy you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the view from the master bedroom,  it’s one of our favorite spots too. Delighted to hear you loved the pool and found everything easily accessible. You’re welcome back anytime!

This was hands down my favorite Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The house was absolutely stunning and the location was perfect - roughly 30 minutes from Tamarindo, Conchal, and Flamingo Bay. Josee left us an amazing fruit basket on arrival and our messages were always answered within a few minutes. I cannot stress enough how much this house solidified a fantastic Costa Rican vacation. I will definitely look to stay here again.

Merci beaucoup John! Nous sommes tellement heureux que vous avez passé un beau séjour à la villa! Nous serons heureux de vous accueillir à nouveau!

There are places that not only offer "comfortable and pleasant" accommodation, but also tell stories of effort, dedication and passion in every corner. Josee's house is one of those unique places: an architectural and emotional jewel that was surely built with patience, dedication and an almost palpable love. From the moment you cross the threshold of "Casa Zuma", you feel enveloped by a warm and genuine atmosphere that does not arise by chance, but by the constant will of hosts who have turned their dreams, their refined taste and their absolute commitment to creating something more than just a space to rest.
The house itself seems to have a soul. Each space, the floors, the teak wood, its large windows and every decorative detail speaks of the meticulous care with which it has been designed and maintained.

Hay lugares que no solo ofrecen un hospedaje "cómodo y agradable", sino que narran historias de esfuerzo, dedicación y pasión en cada rincón. La casa de Josee es uno de esos lugares únicos: una joya arquitectónica y emocional que seguramente fue construída con paciencia, esmero y un amor casi palpable. Desde el momento en que uno cruza el umbral de "Casa Zuma", se siente envuelto por una atmósfera cálida y genuina que no surge por casualidad, sino por la voluntad constante de unos anfitriones que han volcado sus sueños, su gusto refinado y su compromiso absoluto en crear algo más que un simple espacio para descansar.

Cada espacio de ella, los pisos, la madera de teca, sus amplios ventanales y cada detalle decorativo habla del cuidado meticuloso con el que ha sido diseñada y mantenida.

Casa Zuma is a beautiful villa, just five minutes from the beach. Upon arrival, we were charmed by the interior of the villa: it is elegant, comfortable and tastefully decorated.

The exterior is just as successful. The outdoor kitchen allowed us to enjoy the beautiful weather at every meal, and the different relaxation areas really made a difference during our stay. Whether you're relaxing, having coffee or a drink, everything is perfectly arranged.

It's a place we would recommend without hesitation and hope to find again very soon!
