9BR tiny house in Playa Grande

The Pipe House Premium Hostel Rm1 - Tiny houses for Rent in Playa Grande, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

It’s great if you’d like to be close to the city but yet far from the crowd. I really enjoyed breakfast and a nice private beach.

Great place. Very unique and original. Right on the beach. Clean and private.

Great spot to meet people from all over.  Montreal,Texas,Taiwan, California.  very cool spot and great people.   would definitely come back.

We had a really nice time in the Pipehouse 🛖

Vi hadde det veldig hyggelig i pipehouse 🛖

My sister and I really loved the place. Very peaceful. Walking distance to beach. 2 min boat ride to tamarindo ( closes at 5pm) Breakfast was delicious , staff were so friendly. Felipe was amazing , my sister and I were confused at first , he came to get us at the boat. Overall great atmosphere Highly recommended

We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly accommodating and always quick to respond to any questions or requests. Communication was smooth from start to finish and they made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!

pipe house is always a great place to stay and Felipe is an excellent host

The space is exactly as described. If you are looking for a great surf spot with breakfast and a comfy bed away from the crowds, this is your spot!

Felipe and his family are beyond lovely and we had an amazing time. The beach is right there and we ended up renting boards and surfed everyday. Less crowds than Tamarindo and just as great waves :) I also used the jungle gym, which was definitely a highlight. Breakfast was prepared and super delicious (and vegan-friendly if needed). Thanks to the team and Felipe + fam!

We loved our stay here. The location is great, 20 seconds walk and you are on the beach. From the beach it is easy to walk to Tamarindo (at high tide there are boats until 5:00 p.m., at low tide you can walk). The hostel itself was well maintained, clean and cozy. Felipe is very friendly and helpful. We would certainly recommend this!

We hebben genoten van ons verblijf hier. De locatie is super, 20 seconden lopen en je staat op het strand. Vanaf het strand is het makkelijk lopen naar Tamarindo (bij vloed gaan er bootjes tot 17:00, bij eb kan je lopend). Het hostel zelf was goed onderhouden, schoon en gezellig. Felipe is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We zouden dit zeker aanbevelen!

Felipe was great, the place was super clean and right next to the beach, the breakfast was amazing and we will definitely be back

We loved staying at pipe house! It’s so so close to the beach, I really liked waking up early and going for a walk by the water. The outdoor gym and kitchen were awesome. Filipe and the staff were very friendly and accommodating:) Filipe gave us both a surf lesson and he was very patient and an amazing teacher. Be prepared to squish into the room if you have a lot of bags. Fun and unique experience. :) Thanks!

I have been to the Pipe House 4 times in the last 3 years and I can’t wait to go back! Felipe is an epic host and his space is absolutely stellar. Thank you!

We loved staying at the pipe house! It’s a unique experience and all the site is incredible! Thanks to Felipe !

The pipe house is amazing. Words can’t describe how beautiful this place is. The location is also amazing. Felipe was very welcoming and accommodating. I would book this place again in a heartbeat!

The pipe house was such an amazing experience! Just a few steps from the beach! Location, location, location! Breakfast was so nice as well! It was different sleeping quarters, but that is also why we chose it! Not as much room for large luggage, but we knew that coming in, and had our small pack ready for this few night stay. Thanks again! Would recommend!

This place is such a gem. I've stayed here 3 or 4 times over the years and it's always perfect. Really fun concept, incredible location, great place to meet people, and Felipe is super helpful and quick to respond. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful little quiet paradise, direct access to the quiet beach. Amenities (showers, breakfast, kitchen, common area, surfing) are convenient and nice. A modern "peace and love".

Beau petit paradis tranquille, accès direct à la plage calme. Les commodités (douches, déjeuner, cuisine, espace commune, surf) sont pratiques et agréables. Un « peace and love » moderne.

The Pipe hostel is wonderful and we will Be back. Every Thu g is meticulously well thought out. Thanks for everything we love the Pipe hostel.

We had such a wonderful day at The Pipe House in Playa Grande! Firstly, we drove there and did not know what to expect while looking at the location on Google Maps. The dirt road was not bad at all (we did have a 4x4 rental). It was about 8 minutes down a kind of bumpy road, however totally do-able, even as a first time driver in CR. The space itself was incredible! Super cozy and because we went at the end of rainy season, we pretty much had it to ourselves. The sleeping area is not huge, and it would not be possible to bring in large luggage. Luckily we had a car and kept everything in the trunk which worked well. The beach is absolutely gorgeous! We walked down quite far - there's lots of crabs! $2 boat to Tamarindo. The little neighborhood feels very safe and private. There was a General Store which closed pretty early when we were there in Nov, (around 3:00pm). We enjoyed 2 bars cloe by - Casa Mar Azul & Bistro Cantarana. Both had great food and drink options with Happy Hour.

This was my second time staying at pipe house, and it’s one of my favourite places in Costa Rica. Felipe is an excellent host and goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and welcomed. The vibes at the pipe house are very relaxed and positive, and the beach is steps away. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Pura vida 😎

I had a great stay there, I decided to stay a 2nd night! Felipe was friendly, the airbnb was so cute, and it was right on the beach!

I recently stayed at this one-of-a-kind Airbnb, and it was an unforgettable experience. The rooms, creatively designed from cement pipes, offer a unique and cool atmosphere that's unlike anything I've encountered. The proximity to a fantastic beach is a major plus, making it ideal for surfers. The included breakfast is absolutely amazing—fresh, delicious, and a perfect start to each day. The grounds and communal bathrooms are meticulously clean, ensuring a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, with excellent amenities and a fantastic location, this place is a gem. Pura vida!

Our stay at the pipe house was absolutely wonderful! Felipe was so welcoming and gave my friend and I surf lessons in the morning. This was our first time surfing, so he was incredibly patient and encouraging! Overall, it was a great stay and we were so glad to find more natural/private accommodations only a 2 min boat ride away from Tamarindo.

Location is perfect, just a few steps from the beach. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay look no further! Felipe was super responsive, proactive and friendly.

This was my first hostel stay and it was great! The entire property is so clean and well taken care of. I loved how private the area felt and it was steps to the beach. Also, super close to the water taxis if you wanted to visit Tamarindo- maybe a 10 min walk. Felipe was super kind and welcoming. I will definitely be back!

Great stay, would definitely come back. Breakfast included is really good. The room is cozy and comfortable. The facilities are very good.

So so amazing!!!! Favorite spot of my whole trip! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

So so so amazing!!!! Favorite spot of my whole trip! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome spot. Rooms are super cozy and comfortable with decent quality linens. Communal areas very well designed and maintained. Great location if you want to surf, there’s a great less than 5 minute walk away. The breakfast was also awesome. Highly recommend

What a marvellous place to stay. Felipe’s property is magical. You have the usage of a communal kitchen, bathrooms, weight lifting(& yoga) area and lounging hammocks strung about. The pipehouse itself is cozy and snug just as described. The AC was a welcome relief from the heat and there was enough shelving for personal belongings.  Apart from all of this, the beach was literally a 20 second walk away. Absolutely spectacular!  We also met some beautiful souls and we can’t wait to come back! Pura Vida!

Great amenities, a bit of a trek in terms of accessibility but overall very welcoming and secluded

Has a really nice beach really close to it, and the breakfast is pretty good.

Very nice hostel, on the other hand, very small, no space to stand or store your suitcase, you have to adapt;)

Très joli hostel par contre très petit pas de place se mettre debout ou ranger sa valise il faut s’adapter ;)

The location is superb - right beside the beach. Literally steps away. I would say each unit comfortable sleeps one. Two is very cozy. If he's throwing a party, it can be a bit noisy.

Pipe house is one of those places you will never forget about. Just steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, it is guaranteed to win you over! We there you are roamed passing by, looking for a stay cation or a family of 5, you are sure to feel welcomed and satisfied. The air conditioner is glorious and there is plenty of fridge space for all of your goodies!

It’s not often I stay at a spot that looks just like the pictures while feeling like a home away from home, but Felipe’s spot does just that. The beach is literally 30 sec walk away, the kitchen is stocked with all the cookware you need, and the pipes are set up beautifully (inside and out). Highly recommend checking his place out.

The pipe house was a nice experience great spot if you are looking to relax and be by the beach. If you're looking for night life it is actually a 40 minute drive to Tamarindo and a 2min boat ride also but the boats are only available during the day. Other than that I enjoyed my stay, i also met some really nice people while there.

What a cool place right at the beach!  Whether it be surfing, yoga and fitness, meeting new people, or just a unique place to stay, this is all of it!  Great restaurants nearby too so you don’t have to go into Tamarindo.  Felipe is a great host!

Our stay was amazing, thanks to Felipe. He is a great host and surf teacher. The place is comfortable and located seconds away from a breathtaking beach that almost seems private as, even in the busiest time of the year, there were very few people.

atypical accommodation, beautiful experience. Furnished living space. Possibility to rent or take a surf lesson. 100 m from the beach. Secure place. Very available, welcoming and kind host. just pay attention to the lack of room inside for a suitcase, which is surprising.

logement atypique, belle experience. espace de vie aménagé. possibilité de louer ou prendre un cours de surf. a 100m de la plage. lieu sécurisé. hôte tres disponible, accueillant et gentil. attention juste a l'absence de place a l'intérieur pour une valise, ce qui surprend.

Really unique place in an awesome location. We wish we stayed longer.

Very nice beachside accommodation. Not much room for suitcases if there are two of you.

Logement très sympathique au bord de la plage. Peu de place pour les valises si vous êtes deux.

Such a cool place to stay. Clean, and comfortable. Footsteps from beautiful beach. The grounds and kitchen area very well kept. Very safe location. Phillipe was the best, friendly, and so helpful. Recommend 100%.

Beautiful place.  Unique and fun. Awesome location close to the beach and a few great restaurants/bars. Excellent communication and service by Felipe. Check it out for sure.

It’s located 100 yards from an amazing stretch of beach. Great for swimming and surfing. I love the modular concept, and the common areas are very thoughtfully designed, but the pipe units absolutely need the a/c to keep cool, since there are no windows,  just the glass doors. I slept on the top unit, so I kept my doors open all night. Not sure I would do that on the lower units that sit on the ground. Still it was a fun overnight stay.

Amazing little spot.  Great vibes, cool common services (kitchen, showers, gym and just hanging out), spectacular beach litterally a few steps away.  The rooms are tiny but comfortable and quite unique.  Felipe is extremely friendly and helpful.  The local grocery store is a bit far, but there are ways around that.  Be aware that Tamarindo is not easily reachable at night - not a huge minus in my book, but something to be mindful of depending on your plans.

Great unique modern place to stay. Very close to the water and great surfing.

Beautiful space and super clean. Playa Grande Beach is so beautiful and more secluded than Tamarindo. Not far walking distance from Tamarindo but boat shuttles stop at 5pm and by car it’s 30 min drive. Felipe was very accommodating and helpful prior and during our stay! Highly recommend staying here.

This is a very unique space. Located steps from the beach, where we saw one of the most beautiful sunsets ever. Host is very friendly and The space very clean. We booked four nights but only stayed one just because the sleeping unit was a little small and uncomfortable for a couple in their 50s! From the photos, we were envisioning some thing a little larger. We felt this lodging is best kept for the youngsters! Again, if you are traveling alone or don't mind very close, rustic quarters, this is a very unique stay!

Special vibe! Its a unique experience and Filipe is absolutely amazing. The beach is literally on the doorstep and there are always some People around. The kitchen is well equipped. Though it can get fairly hot in the room, but the AC is doing its Job so no problem at all.

A great experience just be aware that you can't get to the main part of town after dark without driving 40 mins around a river. Daytime boats will run you across.

Cool little place to stay great location and a great host.

Highly recommend this unique clean and open space. Perfect for single travelers, couples or rent all 9 units and have a reunion or retreat. Very clean, excellent staff. The owner Felipe was terrific, friendly, helpful and easy going. He also gives surfing lessons. I love that all rooms ( pipes ) are course coordinated ( the artwork, towels and roomkey ) easy for one to remember. I'd love to return.

Very nice, pipes are small but good for the price!! Great location, clean and nice!!!

It's mega nice and an experience. Everything very clean and well maintained. It even had an outdoor gym. Felipe is very hospitable and nice. Would book again in a heartbeat.!: )

Es war mega schön und ein Erlebniss. Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Es hatte sogar ein outdoor gym. Felipe ist sehr gastfreundlich und nett. Ich würde sofort wieder buchen.! :)

Great!! Wonderful host and staff, very well equipped kitchen and all rooms always very clean! Beautiful and cozy place! Would recommend!!!

Excelente!! Anfitrião e funcionários maravilhosos, cozinha muito bem equipada e todos os ambientes sempre muito limpos! Lugar lindo e aconchegante! Recomendo!!!

The pipe house was a great experience. A car is a must!! The drive to the house is a bit dark but it’s definitely a safe and private area. Expect to see some tiny visitors every now and then, you may also see Sebastian the crab. Overall, it was a great experience Felipe was a super host, 5 stars to him. EStef was  great help when we were planning activities around the area, 5 stars to her too.  Thank you!!!

CLEAN PLACE AND VERY CLOSE TO THE BEACH ....NICE PLACE

LUGAR LIMPIO Y MUY CERCA DE LA PLAYA ....LINDO LUGAR

This place is so amazing, 30sec to the beach, surf boards to rent and a really cool place

Nice experiance. There is all you need. In the rainy season there could be a bit more protection at the entrance to the pipes.

This place is very neat and the main reason I came to this area. It’s cool but may be better for 1 or 2 nights. We stayed for 3 nights. This place isn’t for everyone. We didn’t get a chance to try surfing but we recommend you try it if you stay here. Keep in mind, the waves are too much for a casual swim or relaxing time. If you want to swim, stay at a place with a pool. Remember, if you come in low season, many food options are not possible without a car. Bring your own food as you have a kitchen. But don’t keep food in the room, the ants will find you. As the place is small. If you pack light, you will be fine. If you arrive from Tamarindo, you must carry your luggage through the sand for about 15 min. So don’t over pack. I would recommend anyone to try this experience.

A very unique place. Quite and beautiful beach. Perfect for relaxing.

Very nice, everything is very clean... it is actually very close to the beach and the access to go to Tamarindo. The kitchen is well equipped and there are many amenities inside the hostel, we loved being there.

Muy agradable, todo muy limpio...en realidad está muy cerca de la playa y el acceso para ir a Tamarindo. La cocina bien equipada y hay muchas amenidades dentro del hostel, nos encantó estar ahí.

Awesome host! Sweet spot, quiet and safe. Would definitely recommend and return there!

What a fun and unique experience!! Felipe was very warm and welcoming, I felt right at home! Literally right next to the beach, had a full kitchen, and a beautiful outdoor space. The room was very clean and cozy with AC and a comfy bed. Make sure to ask for instructions on how to get there as it can get confusing navigating the roads. Highly recommend!!

The place is very nice... just like in the photos, however it is worth noting that they need a high vehicle... it is not necessary 4x4 but at least if a high car since the road is quite bad... and in the center of the small town where the pipe house is located there are many tops that are very high... on the other hand we mentioned that the cheapest supermarket that is open after 4pm is on a large beach about 15 minutes by car and there are only a couple of places to eat... as for the accommodation the cleanliness is impeccable... the kitchen is super equipped and there are practically everything you need... we were completely alone so we made use of the jungle gym and it was very good, we were able to cook and make use of the things we need... the room is very small there is only space to sleep and a couple of small bags... there are many crabs and mosquitoes, we recommend bringing repellent... the beach is a few steps away and it is very nice and quiet...

El lugar es muy lindo… tal como en las fotos, sin embargo cabe resaltar que necesitan un vehículo alto… no es necesario 4x4 pero por lo menos si un carro alto ya que el camino está bastante mal… y en el centro del pueblito donde está ubicado pipe house hay muchos topes que están muy altos… por otro lado mencionamos que el supermercado más barato que está abierto después de las 4pm queda en playa grande a unos 15 minutos en carro y solo hay un par de lugares donde comer… en cuanto al alojamiento la limpieza es impecable… la cocina está súper equipada y hay prácticamente de todo lo que uno necesite… nosotros estábamos completamente solos por lo que hicimos uso del jungle gym y estuvo muy bien, pudimos cocinar y hacer uso de las cosas que necesitamos… la habitación es muy pequeña solo hay espacio para dormir y un par de bolsos pequeños… hay muchos animalitos tipo cangrejos y mosquitos, recomendamos llevar repelente… la playa está a unos pasos y es muy linda y tranquila…

Felipe makes magic happen. This trip was one to remember thanks to him.

This place is exclusive , it has very clean bathrooms, super comfortable beds and rooms and the kitchenette is fully equipped, everything you need. The hosts are super friendly , I felt at home. 100% recommended we will definitely be back soon.

Este lugar es exclusivo , cuenta con baños muy limpios , camas y cuartos super cómodos y la cosina  equipada por completo, todo lo que necesitas. Los anfitriones son super amables , me sentí como en familia. Recomendado 100 % definitivamente regresamos muy pronto.

Felipe's place is really nice and affordable, its kinda hard to get to in car, especially at night but once you're there then it made up for it.  I would recommend it!

We had an amazing stay at the Pipe House. The location was beautiful, located on a gorgeous beach where my partner and I spent sunset. It’s a short ride to tamarindo on the ferry. The room was cozy very clean.  The front desk had great recommendations on places to eat. We chose to dine in playa grande rather than tamarindo. Which we liked better, less crowded. Thanks overall!

This was the most unique place I’ve  ever stayed! The owner was incredibly kind and helpful! I will say, this is definitely like camping. It’s out there. The wifi works well. I don’t have a problem with the close space, in fact, I enjoyed it. But obviously, if you’re one to want to spread out or even a little sensitive about space, I’d pass. The wooden gym was super neat as well! Thanks!

Really cool and interesting place with beach access good amenities and cool vibe

cool shared space close to the beach and only a water taxi away from tamarindo. private and safe with a lock gate. the host was kind and very willing to accommodate. air condition works well and the space fits perfectly for 2 people. price is fair. would definitely come again

This place is pure energy, you can jump from bed to the ocean or just take a walk at the beach. Beds are comfortable and the AC a bless. Bathrooms are clean, same to the kitchen area. Felipe is a sunshine human, spreading good vibes, and helpful if you ask for tips.

Interesting place to stay. Quite small, but the whole venue makes it worth it.

Felipe really went absolutely ABOVE and BEYOND. We had a pretty serious accident while we were staying and Felipe really went out of his way to make sure we were all okay. A ridiculously nice and amazing guy and nice and amazing stay!

Amazing place and set up !!!! Right next to playa grande and amazing host Felipe. The only drawback is the drive in on super bumpy roads, it’s worth coming here at any time. Enjoy it!!!

Pipe House is an amazing place!! As unique as the pipe rooms are, the stay is home-y and cozy. The common areas were spotless when we arrived and were wiped clean everyday. Having access to the gym equipment was a huge perk. To get there, we took a bus to Tamarindo then a water taxi across the Estuary to Playa Grande. After the water taxi, you must walk along the beach or a short jungle path to reach the entrance to Pipe House/the main road. The path was partially flooded with water when we passed at high-tide, but all other times of day it is easily passable. Sunsets are unbeatable, the seashells are beautiful, and the water is great! Highly recommend!

Such a unique place to stay, so grateful there was AC. The environment was so calm and nice. Felipe was so hospitable and so nice at  giving us local tips. Great stay

Amazing stay, unique place, full of peace and nature

Estancia increíble, lugar único, lleno de paz y naturaleza

Great stay. Quirky accommodations but I was looking for unique. Steps from beach. Great host. Pura Vida

A very comfortable place, a very father theme and the best that is close to the beach , just consider buying things before you arrive, but the whole experience will leave you very comfortable. Tamarindos is only a 15-minute walk away and take a boat

Un lugar muy cómodo, una temática muy padre y lo mejor que está cerca de la playa , solo consideren comprar cosas antes de llegar, pero toda la experiencia te dejará muy agusto. Tamarindos está tan solo a 15 minutos caminando y tomando una lancha

We extended our stay because we enjoyed it so much!  It was a highlight of our trip.

This is the most unique place that I've ever stayed in.  I would 100% recommend to my closest friends. The walk to the beach is short, the kitchen has everything that you need to cook your own meals, and everything is extremely clean. The environment is comfortable and so are the beds. We will be back!

Amazing place to stay only seconds from a pristine sandy beach. You can walk up and down the beautiful beach for many kilometers. The sunsets are amazing.  And Tamarindo is only a short boat ride (1$) away. Felipe is a superb host, very welcoming and helpful. He organized a private surf lesson for us and gave us many suggestions of activities to do. Large common area with a fully stocked outdoor kitchen and an awesome jungle gym ! Overall, definitely recommend this place. Thanks!
