6BR luxury villa in Playa Grande

Villa in Guanacaste Province

We had a wonderful stay! The Airbnb was beautiful, comfortable, clean, and exactly what we needed. Everything was perfect, and a special thank you to Fresia, who was absolutely amazing! She was so kind, friendly, and did an incredible job keeping everything clean and making sure we were comfortable. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Great place!!! Near the beach and bigger than expected.

Beautiful house Great set up for our multi family vacation Next door to a market & bar/grill We rented golf carts to get around

Beautiful and large house just as described, very comfortable and with all the amenities and comforts you may need.

Hermosa y gran casa justo como se describe, muy cómoda y con todas las amenidades y comodidades que se pueden llegar a necesitar.

Our family of 10 (3 couples and 4 young adults) rented Casa Estrella del Mar for the Christmas holidays and we highly recommend it! With 5 similar bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (two upstairs, 2 downstairs and 1 in the attached apartment) it’s great for up to 5 couples traveling together. The upstairs twin  room worked out well for our 14 year old grandson. The living area, indoor dining table and outdoor spaces had plenty of seating for everyone. Getting to Playa Grande is on rough dirt roads but we did not need 4 wheel drive and we were super happy with the home’s location. We loved being able to walk the short distance to the beach and our surfer grandchildren made several trips each day. The property is full fenced and we felt very safe and secure. We also enjoyed having the tiny Palm Beach market right next door and the great restaurants within walking distance. We really appreciated Fresia coming by each day for light housekeeping. Jennifer was a great host and very responsive

This was probably the nicest Airbnb that we had the pleasure of renting…ever! The home is gorgeous and spacious and has all the comforts of home. The location is perfect-a 5 min walk to the beach with a few restaurants nearby. Jennifer was very responsive in answering questions in the weeks preceding our stay and answered a couple of questions within a few minutes via the app during our stay. Our family of 6 had plenty of space to spread out. Jennifer had great recommendations for us on a local photographer for family photos and a chef that prepared a dinner in the home one evening. We will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a glowing review. We’re overjoyed to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful stay and that the house felt like home. It means a lot that you enjoyed the space, the short walk to the beach, and the local restaurants , we love that location too! We’re especially glad our recommendations (the photographer and private chef) helped make your stay even more memorable. You were a joy to host. We’d love to welcome you back anytime , we’ll look forward to having you again! Warm wishes, Jennifer

We were a group of 8 people spending a week together for the first time. We had an amazing time and loved ‘our’ house and location. The presence of our housekeeper (Fresia) was undeniably the greatest benefit, and we are very grateful for her attention and responsiveness. Between Jennifer and Fresia, we felt cared for and heard. Both responded with speed and effectiveness and we were so grateful! Loved the area…Playa Grande and Tamarindo did not disappoint!!! Thank you Jennifer!

We truly appreciate your kind words about the service and the location. Playa Grande and Tamarindo are such beautiful spots, and we’re so happy they didn’t disappoint! Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

The house is perfect for a family. We had 6 adults 5 young children. We rented High chairs and portacribs which were there upon arrival. Fresia came everyday to tidy up and cleaned middle of the week. For us it was terrific. The only thing that could have been better were lighter chairs to walk to the beach with.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear that the house worked perfectly for your family and that the setup with high chairs and portacribs made your stay more comfortable. I’m also glad that Fresia’s cleaning service was helpful. Thank you for the suggestion about lighter chairs for the beach and directions—I'll definitely keep that in mind for future guests. It was a pleasure hosting you all, and I hope to welcome you back again soon! 😊

The house is large and open.  Surrounded by a high wall and fence in front, we always felt safe (even though the area didn't feel unsafe).  This was a great place for our group to gather and relax.  The pool in the backyard and the surrounding seating areas were comfortable and clean.  Working the electronics were a little tricky (TV, Stereo), but we really weren't there for that, anyway.  We went during the off-season, so many of the close by restaurants and stores were closed (same in the town of Tamarindo).  But honestly, it was nice not having crowds.  Everyone in the area was very friendly and helpful. We had Jennifer (Host) send us a list of private chefs and we had one (Fabien) come and cook for us.  Meal was incredible and he was able to use the kitchen and outside BBQ grill to make us a perfect dinner.  I would highly recommend this home.

Fantastic spot and excellent communication. Was perfect for 4 young kids!  Thanks!

Great place to stay. There were 11 of us and we really enjoyed the spacious house. It had everything we needed. Jennifer was great a host and was extremely helpful during the planning phase of our trip.

We had a wonderful stay at this property and would book it again. It was clean and prepped when we got there, they were responsive when contacted and they came by daily to maintain the pool and patio area which was appreciated. The location is close to the beach, several cafes/restaurants/bars, and felt very safe.

Beautiful property and great host. It was perfect for our group. Love playa grande.

Great big house that was perfect for our family vacation. The AC is cold in every room and the location has numerous restaurants within walking distance. Our only issues with the place were that the linens need to be replaced, several sheets and pillow cases had holes. The pool deck gets absurdly hot and scorches your feet, it was not planned properly. Finally, I’ve never stayed in an Airbnb where someone comes in the house unannounced at random times of the day. She came to take out the trash but it was totally unnecessary. The house needs some routine maintenance and the place is a little dated for the price. All our guests enjoyed the space and Jennifer was super responsive so we gave it 4 stars for the above concerns.

My family had a great time at this property! 6min walking distance to beach, a couple of little restaurants, and a little store right next door. The Pool and outdoor space were amazing. Few issues with appliances and showers that did not greatly impact our overall stay, but the host was responsive and she was going to address the issues. There is about a 10min unpaved bumpy road that leads to the house. The kitchen was  decently stocked with supplies. A fruit basket and coffee were waiting for us when we arrived!  Fresia came to take the trash out everyday. We would love to come back!

We had an amazing stay. Playa Grande is perfect and so uncrowded. The house is amazing, even better than the pictures. We didn’t have the best experiences with restaurants in the area but overall an incredible stay.

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful home. Plenty of room for our large family and gorgeous outdoor pool and seating areas. Beds and separate bathrooms were lovely. Kitchen had everything we needed.

Absolutely amazing property. 100% as advertised. Probably my favorite Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. Jennifer, the host and the housekeeper were fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for anything more and can’t wait to come back. Thank you Jennifer for everything!

Friendly people, great food, and nice home. The internet sucks. We had to keep resetting it. Overall it was fun and comfortable.

Jennifer was very responsive and friendly. Anytime we had a question or issue, someone came over in minutes. The home was beautiful and accurately described. We would use again.

What a wonderful airbnb experience! Jennifer was very responsive which we especially appreciated due to the fact we booked last minute with her when another Airbnb fell through. She was able to accommodate us and we’re so grateful! The place is beautiful and as pictured. Very clean and cool with AC. The house manager, Fresia, was unbelievably helpful. She came everyday to take the trash and make sure all was good. The pool was cleaned and the gardens watered every day as well. This was the perfect home away from home and we hope to come back in the future! One thing to note is that there is a lot of construction in the area and its impossible to avoid. Even though there was construction next door we couldn’t hear anything from inside the home and could hardly hear anything in the backyard.

Great location and easy walk to the beach. The house was well designed and with 10 of us we never felt on top of each other. The pool was refreshing especially during the heat of the day.

Great place in a beautiful spot! Our very large family stayed here for New Years and glad we did. Surely we would return.  Spacious house with great amenities. Thanks

Amazing house. Great location. Excellent host. We were a group of 10, and had more than enough room for everyone. There are some great restaurants within walking distance of the house, a small market literally next door, as well as a superb beach l that I'm honestly shocked isn't crowded at all. Playa Grande is a short walk from the property, and you'll likely have the entire beach to yourself (we stayed in September, so this may change depending on the season). Playa Ventanas is def worth a visit as well (5 min drive). Come back from the beach and relax by the pool before you hit one of the many happy hours in the area. This is coastal Costa Rica living at its finest. If you want a relaxing holiday away from the crowds, this is the spot for you.

Perfect set up for our two families and the separate apartment was great for our nanny. Had a blast and would absolutely stay here again.

We loved our stay so much! The house is beautiful, clean, and safe and Jennifer helped us get set up with drivers and excursions. The house is a little far from Tamarindo by car but you can take the boat shuttle and get there quickly. Definitely would recommend this stay :)

This house is just as it looks in the pictures; beautiful! Every bedroom has a king size bed with beautiful bathrooms. The common space is perfect for socializing while cooking and the area around the pool offers shade, sun and comfortable sitting areas. Jenn was absolutely great at helping us plan our trip, answering ALL our questions in a very timely manner. If you are going to Costa Rica, stay here!

Beautiful house with great location , it’s really close to the beach , great host , would definitely recommend it.

Great house, great private location in Playa Grande...

The house was amazing and the small exclusive community is heaven.  Everything you need to relax and enjoy is walking distance including a spectacular uncrowded beach that literally stretches for miles.  Jennifer was super attentive as were the local husband and wife that look over the home.  Superb. We will be back.
