Nearby Construction
A new building is currently being constructed next door and is expected to be completed by November. Fortunately, the property's outdoor area faces in the opposite direction, and previous guests have not been significantly bothered by the construction. A discount has already been included in the pricing to account for this.

The house was great. Location and price were good and the house itself had great privacy and a great rear pool area. 5 minute drive to playa grande main beach. A few good restaurants within a short drive. I recommend this property.

We stayed at Casa Por Que No for 13 days. It was a dream family vacation. Shawna was very helpful with many great recommendations. The one minor issue we had, (which ended up being a dead battery) she had a person stop by moments after I texted. Our family of 10 all loved and highly recommend this place and Shawna!

This place was great. The home was beautifully presented, well equipped, and extremely comfortable for our family of seven. Shawna was a fantastic host—very responsive, easy to communicate with, and helpful throughout our stay. With the concierge service, they stocked our fridge pre-arrival which made it very convenient. The outdoor lounge areas, which quickly became our favourite spots to relax. The pool was great but a bit too cold for our liking to just lounge in the pool. The location of the house is about a 8-10 mins walk when pulling a wagon on unpaved streets. A special highlight was having boogie boards that’s we rented as it’s a surfers beach, and the restaurants that are short walk.

Playa Grande is a magical place and this home was absolutely perfect. Shawna was super helpful and responsive, and check in was a breeze. The home is well stocked. We loved the large pool to play in and the fun ping pong table especially. Every morning we walked to the beach for a sunrise stroll with the kids, played all day locally or at Playa Grande, and were back on the beach for sunset every night. We had plenty of room and more for our family of 7 and were very happy with this home. This is a secluded and private beach & community, and is very safe. Great relaxed restaurants nearby and a quick boat ride accorss the estuary for groceries (or a 30 min drive). We've traveled in Costa Rica quite a bit all over, and always come back to Playa Grande. Thank you Shawna for everything!

This is our 3rd stay in the Palm Beach Estates community and the accommodations for the additional family joining us at Casa Por Que No were perfect. The home layout was incredibly functional and spacious for 6 adults, 2 teenagers and 3 kids. Shawna was very responsive and flexible on our check-in time. Thanks again for the wonderful home in our favorite neighborhood & beach in Costa Rica!

Very nice place! clean and had everything we needed. The extra bedroom out by the pool was slightly outdated. The bed was pretty old and not super comfortable and the shower never seemed to get hot but outside of that the pool was VERY nice and a short walk to the beach with a great little coffee shop nearby. Lots to do within walking distance. Very easy to get over to Tamarindo but the beach walk was quite a ways. I would suggest booking a boat ride from the Grateful hotel to get over vs walking to the $2 boat rides from the beach. Overall, I would stay here again for sure.

Shawna is truly an outstanding host. We made a last minute reservation and she was incredibly helpful, communicative, and accommodating. The property is gorgeous—a short stroll from the beach. The house is well stocked with towels and other items that make you feel like home. My kids loved the ping pong table. I highly recommend this property. Great location and we had a very relaxing two weeks. Thank you so much!
