Playa Grande, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. - Villas for Rent in Playa Grande, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Incredible place and very friendly people. I hope I can come back. Thank you so much!

Increíble lugar y personas muy amables. Espero poder volver muchas gracias!

Great host that has many insights of the area. Very accommodating and a pleasure to rent from. Look forward to coming back.

Great house - clean, beautiful, spacious and well stocked with all the necessities. The beds were comfortable and it was really convenient to have 3 washrooms. Very close walk to the beach and some restaurants, short drive to markets and grocery stores. Marina and Ghyslain were very friendly and responsive. We loved the design of the house with all the windows and the house centred around the pool and yard. We would definitely recommend this house. It’s one of the best airbnb’s we’ve stayed at.

Our hosts Marina and Ghislain were extremely nice and responsive. They gave us some great tips. The house was incredibly well located near Playa Grande beach. The space is very well divided, welcoming, and carefully decorated, and what can I say about the outside, the layout, and the pool? Wow, just wow!! We would definitely recommend the SUPERB Playa Océan and I property. A wonderful find. We will definitely go back Thank you very much to both of you for your welcome, kindness, and flexibility. We look forward to welcoming you! Christian, Geneviève and our young adults Pura vida ☀️😎🏝️🦎🦀

Nos hôtes Marina et Ghislain étaient extrêmement gentil et réactif. Ils nous ont donné de bons conseils. La maison était incroyablement bien situé près de la plage de Playa Grande. L’espace est super bien divisé, convivial, décoré avec soin et que dire de l’extérieur, aménagement et piscine, wow juste wow!! Ont recommande sans aucune hésitation la SUPERBE propriété Playa Océan and I. Une merveilleuse découverte. Nous allons définitivement y retourner Merci énormément à vous deux pour votre accueil, gentillesse et flexibilité. Au plaisir! Christian, Geneviève et nos jeunes adultes Pura vida ☀️😎🏝️🦎🦀

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "Villa Ocean and I." Our family of four had plenty of room to spread out but also made good use of the common areas, especially outdoors. The home is exactly as described in the listing. This was one of the most well-stocked rentals we've experienced. Everything we needed-- for the beach, for cooking, for comfort in the home-- was provided. The area is very walkable, not only to Playa Grande but also to several local restaurants. Marina and Ghyslaine were very proactive about communicating with us and keeping us apprised of any updates. Truly a wonderful time!

We had an amazing stay! We will definitely be coming back! The hosts went above and beyond to help us get settled in and were proactive in issues with the AC. We really enjoyed staying here. Such a peaceful place. Loved seeing and hearing the monkeys and listening to the rain while sitting under the covered patio while sitting in the hammocks. Thank you so very much for letting us stay in your beautiful villa!! Pura vida

We stayed 3 nights at Marina’s house. Even before the trip, she was very responsive. She connected us to a local concierge Samantha, who assisted with the car rental and return, excursion reservations, restaurant recommendations, private chef connection, and private transportation to our next destination. The home was exactly as described and pictured. It was clean, very close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The house included everything we needed and the rooms were comfortable. We appreciate that Marina and her husband were extremely responsive to any questions we had and made our stay wonderful. Thank you!

We loved our stay. The location is convenient for many activities in the area. But honestly, my kids spent hours playing in the pool every day and did not want to leave. I felt like the price was very reasonable for how lovely the house was.

What a truly amazing place. We LOVED everything about it. The location is unbeatable ... a quick walk to Playa Grande (gorgeous beach, great for boogie boarding), an assortment of great restaurants right near by ... But, the best part was the place itself. Truly one of the best stays we have ever had. Marina's place is so well put together, so well taken care of ... and we literally took a picture of her suggested places to go and things to do because it beat our internet searches in terms of usability. Communication with Marina herself was easy as well. We had a perfect time. Can't imagine a better spot on the beach near Liberia.

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to us. We are so happy you loved Playa Grande, the villa, and all the recommendations we share with our guests. It was a real pleasure hosting you, and we would welcome you back anytime. Pura Vida! ☀️🌴

Marina’s Villa is beautiful. I literally would love to live there. Marina was also extremely nice and responsive. I would definitely visit again.

Beautiful home walking distance from the beach and some great food spots. Marina was a fantastic host from the start, she sent a list of all there was to offer in the area and her response time was excellent. Super helpful and kind I highly recommend her home and I plan to visit again someday.

We had a pleasant stay at the villa. The kids loved the pool and the outdoor area. Playa Grande Beach is just a few minutes' walk away, so there's no hassle finding parking like in Tamarindo. Everything is really nice and very clean. The hosts live nearby and responded to our questions and needs almost instantly. Book now! ☀️🇨🇷🌊

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour a la villa. Les enfants ont adorés la piscine et l’aménagement extérieur. La plage de Playa grande est à quelques minutes de marche donc pas de casse-tête à se trouver un stationnement comme à Tamarindo. Tout est super beau et très propre. Les hôtes habitent près et répondaient à nos questions et besoins quasi instantanément. Réservez sans attendre ! ☀️🇨🇷🌊

My family and I had the best time at this beautiful villa. It’s so close to the beach. The hosts were always there if we needed anything. There’s so much to do in Playa Grande within walking distance. We will book this villa again. Pura Vida. Thank you so much for a beautiful experience!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay in Playa Grande. Our first time there and we loved it. We enjoyed morning walks on the beach and sunset too! The home has all the amenities you could want and made our stay effortless. Stock up on groceries before the drive to make the most of your time. We dined at Rip Jack’s one night which we recommend. Also made the trip to Tamarindo for shopping, massages in the beach and a nice dinner but were so happy to return to the quiet vibe of PG. enjoy the villa pool. We spend a lot of time there too 😁 A great stay and we recommend it!

My family and I had such an amazing experience! The house is beautiful and has everything you could ever need. The surrounding area is quiet and not overcrowded like Tamarindo is. I cannot begin to express how helpful and  responsive Marina and her husband are.

The villa is beautiful and lovingly cared for in a great location close to the beach and many restaurants.  The hosts were super friendly and helpful as well as incredibly responsive before and during our stay.  We look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Playa Grande!

beautiful location in Playa Grande, close walk to beach and restaurants . layout of home was excellent. very clean and visited daily by iguana friend, beach chairs and umbrella provided, outdoor shower was very handy. we loved the place. excellent hosts and would definitively recommend this home, we stayed for 2 weeks. very good surfing and lessons right in town by surf shops. Pura Vida!

My family and I had a fantastic time staying at Marinas place. The backyard is the star of the house. Close proximity to amenities and the beach.

The house is just a few blocks from the beach in a really relaxed area. Great privacy and shade over the pool for much of the day because it was hot when we visited. Looks exactly like pictures. Walking distance to a few great restaurants, some with live music. The hosts are super responsive and helpful. All in all we had a lovely stay and would return again.

Marina’s place is fantastic. The layout is perfect with lots of space and is very well designed. Marina was extremely responsive and always helpful. Playa Grande is quiet while still having lots to do. This is the best AirBnb I’ve ever experienced. Wonderful host and wonderful property.

Marina’s villa is easily one of the best Airbnb’s we ever stayed in. Ideal for a family vacation near the beach. Nice restaurants in the small town which is relatively quiet. More excitement is about a 30 minute car ride away in Tamarindo. Without question 5 big stars !

Thanks Arthur!! We hope to welcome you soon!! Pura Vida 🏖️

Family stayed here and enjoyed the time. Thank you for the prompt communications.

The house was everything we expected and more. Wonderful location to easily get to the beach and several restaurants. The pool area had the perfect amount of sun and shade with plenty of privacy.

A beautiful house; close to the beach; great hosts.

We are three couple from the East coast in Canada! We had an amazing stay. Kitchen was well stocked as we love to cook, rooms were great beds comfortable! Clean home. It was windy when we were there and the pool gathered lots of leaves in it. But that was fine we used the skimmer to clean it and Marina offered to clean it as well. But we still swam and enjoyed all the outdoor seating! Very cool outdoor surfboard shower as well. We walked to Tamarindo (45mins) it was hot but worth it. Spent the day there and walked back took a bit longer to get back! 😉 Wonderful bar just a few min walk past the estuary. We took a small boat. 2$/person. Beach was amazing tide came up way faster than we thought. The home had chairs and cooler to take with us. We rented boogie boards and that was fun!! Just be cautious of the ocean as always! Surfers and Sunsets amazing as well. We enjoyed our stay. Would go back in a heheartbeat

We spent a wonderful week with our friends in Marina and Ghyslain's villa.  Marina was incredibly prompt with responses to our questions and she had clear, written instructions for everything in the house. The villa is clean and streamlined - the garden and pool area is beautiful, well maintained and has abundant furnishings.  Marina had lots of suggestions for restaurants and activities.  I was so impressed with her attention to detail - especially when she mentioned in her description that a clean sponge was provided - I am always a little skeptical about using sponges that are in the houses we rent but that was not the case here. The location is great, near supermarkets, restaurants, a bakery and the beach. Overall, our stay was a 10 out of 10!

Thank you Isabelle!!! We are so happy you had a good time at the Villa! You have been fantastic guests, and we hope to see you again in the near future!!  Service, cleanliness and availability will always be our priority! Pura Vida and thank you 🙏

The villa was a great place for us to spend a week near the Playa Grande beach. Everything was as pictured and described in the listing. The hosts are friendly, helpful, easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The pool and outdoor space was beautiful. The beach was a 4 minute walk from the villa. The community is small and has good restaurants and markets.

The villa is beautiful, so peaceful and well stocked with everything you could want. Marina went above and beyond to get us 2 pack and plays for our 2 kids, and was super responsive with suggestions and information for what to do during our stay. We didn’t rent a car as we were only there for 3 days, and could easily walk to the beach and local restaurants.

Merci d’avoir choisi Villa Ocean and I , nous sommes très heureux de vous avoir accueilli! Nous donnons toujours notre 100% afin que nos clients soient satisfaits de leur séjour! Pura Vida 😊

Pride of ownership shows in every corner of the home. Beautiful property tucked just enough away from hustle of a beach, yet within 5-7 minutes walks to amazing beach and great restaurants. Very responsive and kind hosts.

Marina’s place was perfect for a winter vacation with my family including two little kids. We had plenty of space, the location is very close to the beach and restaurants but also very quiet and peaceful. The pool and backyard space are so great with kids or just relaxing with a book. Marina was an excellent host, helped us with any questions and was just down the road if we needed anything.

We had a fantastic stay at Ocean and I in Playa Grande, Costa Rica! The hosts were wonderful—very responsive and attentive throughout our stay. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed, making it feel like a true home away from home. The pool was super clean, and the hosts checked it several times to ensure the chlorine levels were perfect, which we really appreciated. We also used the BBQ, and the kids absolutely loved it. Overall, the place had everything we needed for a great vacation. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful villa, close to delicious food and restaurants. 3 minute walk to the beach. Clean pool and beautiful garden surrounding. Will definitely be back!

The house is amazing and the host is so nice.❤️

Don't wait a second longer and book this perfect place for a perfect vacation! Everything is there. You can walk around to the beach and many delicious restaurants. Playa Grande is a gem for visiting this part of Costa Rica. The house is immaculate and beautiful. Ideally divided and the pool is highly appreciated. Ghislain and Marina were very available and super welcoming, doing everything they could to meet our needs and questions. We hope to go back sooner rather than later.

N’attendez pas une seconde de plus et réservez cet endroit parfait pour des vacances parfaites ! Tout y est. Vous pouvez marcher les environs vers la plage et de très nombreux et délicieux restaurants. Playa Grande est une perle pour visiter cette partie du Costa Rica. La maison est immaculée et magnifique. Idéalement divisée et la piscine fort appréciée. Ghislain et Marina ont été très disponibles et super accueillants, faisant des pieds et des mains pour répondre à nos besoins et questions. Nous espérons déjà y retourner plus tôt que tard.

Merci Lelia , merci infiniment pour votre belle visite! Ghyslain et moi , espérons vous revoir bientôt!!! Pura Vida 😊

Marina was an excellent host -- communicative and responsive to all queries and solicitous of our needs while in her home. The house was perfect for our stay in Costa Rica -- designed for comfortable indoor/outdoor living with the lovely pool, grill and outdoor seating/furniture, outdoor shower and private courtyard make the space peaceful and welcoming. The aesthetics are lovely - warm, simple and tasteful. The kitchen is well-stocked with all needed cutlery, cooking and prep implements and appliances. Getting to the beach is just a short amble down the road past a few charming restaurants, bars that give the town a real beach and surfer's vibe. I highly recommend this home; Marina will take good care of you!

Great Villa a couple of blocks away from the beach.

The accommodation is even better than in the photos: beautiful location, quiet, 4 min walk from Playa Grande, functional and well-equipped accommodation. Marina and her husband were very nice and responsive throughout the stay. A big thank you

Le logement est encore mieux que sur les photos: bel emplacement, calme, à 4 min à pied de playa grande, logement fonctionnel et bien équipé. Marina et son mari ont été très agréable et réactif tout au long du séjour. Un grand merci

Merci Melanie!  Merci d’avoir pris le temps d’écrire un commentaire, c’est très apprécié. Nous sommes très heureux que vous avez passé du bon temps à la Villa . À bientôt, Pura Vida 😊

What a gorgeous house-both inside and out! It’s a short walk to the beach and there are restaurants and coffee shops near by. Playa Grande is not a big city, which I liked. Tamarindo is a short drive, and after visiting, I’m glad we stayed outside the city. I highly recommend this house. Marina is quick to answer messages and very helpful. I had a question about the dryer and her husband was there in less than 5 minutes!

Merci beaucoup, Tracy, d’avoir séjourné à la villa ! Nous apprécions sincèrement votre commentaire. Nous donnons toujours notre 100 % pour offrir la meilleure expérience possible à nos clients. Vous serez toujours les bienvenus ! 🌴 Pura Vida !

We enjoyed this convenient and comfortable property in sleepy Playa Grande. The outdoor space is so lovely. We liked drinking Costa Rican coffee and watching the many birds, using the bird guide the host helpfully supplied. Easy walking distance to the beach with good surfing and accessible to tasty food joints.

The page indicated cleaning service on the days of stay, but it was not provided

En la página indicaban servicio de limpieza los días de estadía pero no se dieron asi

Merci beaucoup pour votre séjour et vos 5 étoiles. Je souhaite simplement clarifier un petit malentendu : dans la section « Services » d’Airbnb, il est indiqué que le ménage est disponible pendant le séjour sur demande. Nous , nous l’incluons à partir de 7 nuits, mais pour les séjours plus courts (comme le vôtre de 3 nuits), il est possible en supplément. Après votre première nuit, je vous ai écrit pour savoir si tout vous convenait et si vous aviez besoin de quoi que ce soit, mais vous n’avez pas mentionné de demande de ménage. Nous sommes très heureux de vous avoir accueillis, vous avez été d’excellents voyageurs et la maison était impeccable après votre départ. Pura Vida 😊

Marina’s villa was fantastic - the house is very modern and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay including plenty of cooking items. The backyard pool was incredible and the house is very walkable to the beach (3 minutes) and close to great local restaurants complete with plenty of recommendations on where to go in the house guide book.

Merci a vous ! Nous espérons vous revoir bientot !

Marina & her husband were excellent hosts. They made us very welcome & helped us with any queries we had very quickly. We knew the accommodation looked great in the photos but it was even better in real life. Everything you needed was within the house plus more. Which made for a very comfortable & enjoyable stay. Home from home. We all had very comfortable beds so we were so relaxed & rested during our time there, we did not want to leave!! The pool was very well maintained as was the whole property. The house is so close to the Playa Grande beach & is a lovely small quiet place. We would definitely recommend going to stay there & one day would love to go back.

Thank you so much, Lisa! I truly appreciate your wonderful words and I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay at Villa Ocean and I. It was a real pleasure hosting you and I hope to welcome you back again! ❤️

Marinas place was incredible. Location. Service. Fitout. A great stay. Thanks!

My family and I had a great time… the photos posted are in line with the accommodation. Spacious, very quiet and private area. 300 meters from our favorite area and beach in CR. The host Mariana was super attentive and with very clear and detailed instructions, very attentive to our questions. Thank you, we'll be back!

Mi familia y yo la pasamos muy bien… las fotos publicadas están de acuerdo al alojamiento. Espaciosa, zona muy tranquila y privada. A 300m de nuestra zona y playa favorita en CR. La anfitriona Mariana súper atenta y con instrucciones muy claras y detalladas, muy atenta a nuestras consultas. Gracias, volveremos!

We could not have been happier with this lovely home and our gracious host.  It’s even better than the pictures.  Super clean and comfortable.  The house surrounds a beautiful pool area with plenty of shady spots.  Short walk to the beach and several local restaurants.  Only 30 minutes to Tamarindo if you want more nightlife and shopping.  Our hosts were exceptional.  Very responsive and hospitable.  We were so sad to leave.  Would highly recommend to others and hope to return someday ourselves!!

we had a great time in Marina's house! Everything was perfect! The kids loved the pool!!! We'll be happy to come back to this great Airbnb!!!! We highly recommend it!

nous avons passé un super séjour dans la maison de Marina! Tout était parfait ! les enfants ont adoré la piscine !!! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir dans ce super airbnb !!!! Nous vous le recommandons chaleureusement !

A very nice villa with all the necessities to fully enjoy the place. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach, the pool, the comfort of the villa. There are all the essentials for cooking. The place is safe, you feel comfortable instantly. Marina is very responsive and efficient. We warmly recommend this villa. Thank you and see you next time!

Une très belle villa avec tout le nécessaire pour profiter pleinement des lieux. Nous avons apprécié la proximité de la plage, la piscine, le confort de la villa. Il y a tout les essentiels pour cuisiner. L’endroit est sécuritaire, on sent à l’aise instantanément. Marina est très réactive et efficace. Nous recommandons chaleureusement cette villa. Merci et à une prochaine fois !

Merci Isabel ! Vous êtes les bienvenus quand vous voulez! Vous avez été des voyageurs exemplaires! Merci et Pura Vida 😊

Our family of five enjoyed our time at Marina’s villa.  Access to the pool with the expansive screen doors gave an indoor/outdoor living feel which was wonderful.  We enjoyed relaxing in the hammock or the patio loungers and taking long walks on the beach just a short walk away.  The location is peaceful and seeing the birds and iguanas was a treat.  Finally, Marina and her husband were extremely responsive and friendly.  They left fresh fruit in the kitchen upon our arrival and they checked in regarding the gardeners arrival, which we appreciated.  A lovely time at the Ocean and I.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy you enjoyed your vacation. Hope to see you again someday!

This villa is beautiful, above all expectations and perfectly adapted! The refreshing pool, relaxing atmosphere and surf beach a short walk away. Thanks for hosting us in this wonderful paradise🫶

Cette villa est magnifique, au-dessus de toutes les attentes et parfaitement adaptée! La piscine rafraîchissante, une ambiance relaxante et la plage de surf à quelques pas. Merci de nous avoir accueilli dans ce merveilleux paradis🫶

Merci Alex , nous sommes vraiment heureux que vous avez passé du bon temps! A bientôt!❤️

Wonderful stay at the Villa!! Very clean and the rooms are well divided, each of which has access to its own shower, even an outdoor shower after the beach, a few minutes' walk away. Restaurants nearby and surf court with rentals. Marina is responsive to our requests. A nice touch on arrival with a central pool and beautiful landscaping of tropical plants 🌴 Pura Vida!!!

Merveilleux séjour à la Villa !! Très propre et les pièces biens diviser dont chacune a accès à sa propre douche même une douche extérieure après la plage à quelques minutes de marche. Restaurants à proximité et cour de surf avec locations. Marina est réactive à nos demandes. Une belle attention à notre arrivée avec une piscine centrale et un bel aménagement paysager de plantes tropicales 🌴 Pura Vida !!!

Merci Frédéric, Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir à Villa , et nous espérons sincèrement vous revoir dans un avenir rapproché ❤️

We had a wonderful time and this house is in a wonderful location for a young family to get to and from the beach and to easily access all of Playa Grande.  The owners were extremely helpful and responsive.

Hi Jon, Thank you so much for the great 5-star review! It’s always a pleasure to host guests like you. You’re welcome back anytime. My goal is to make sure every guest is 100% satisfied, and I’m always happy to help if anything comes up. Hope to see you again soon!

Marina's place is a gem and checked all the boxes for what we were looking for during our stay in Playa Grande. A short walk to the beach, tennis courts across the street and nearby restaurants. The place is clean, comfortable, plenty of space and has a well equipped kitchen with sharp knives, which usually seems to be missed by other Airbnb hosts. Marina is also a great host, super proactive, communicative and made us feel welcome. We felt right at home almost immediately and didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for your kind words. You were fantastic guests and I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime. It truly means a lot to see that people appreciate the work I put into creating a great stay. Pura Vida 😊

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in Playa Grande! The place was perfect for our family - we absolutely loved it. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beautiful beach and close to several great restaurants. It made everything super easy and enjoyable for all of us. Highly recommend!!

Merci Tanya ! Je suis tellement heureuse que vous avez apprécié la villa ainsi que Playa Grande ! C’est un endroit merveilleux pour les familles ❤️

S very Nice and comfortable house, host is very communicative.

Thank you very much, Eddy. We hope to see you again soon. Pura vida ☀️

This listing is a hidden Gem!! Short drive to Tamarindo but this location was much better- near a private beach, better restaurants, better overall location, and felt very safe. The host gives you tons of recommendations around and helped us even set up a waterfall hike! The place is clean and looks exactly like pictures. The pool is such an added plus to have. Place has everything you need- cooking, towels, shampoo/conditioner, toys, coolers, etc

Thank you so much, Montana, for your wonderful review and 5-star rating! It was truly a pleasure hosting you. You’re always welcome back at the villa. ❤️

We loved our stay at Marina’s. The house is beautiful and we felt right at home. We really appreciated the small touches- the beach chairs and umbrella were awesome! The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We are already looking forward to the next time we can stay at this great place, with beautiful surroundings.

Thank you so much, Darsha, for your visit and your kindness! It was a pleasure hosting you. You’re always welcome at the villa. ❤️

We were a group of 6 from NL Canada in CR for the first time. Marina’s place was an excellent location with only a couple minute walk to the beach. The villa was exceptionally detailed with everything we could ever need. Communication was outstanding as well. Tks

Thank you so much for choosing the villa! It was a pleasure hosting you. We truly appreciate your great communication it helps us ensure an even better experience for our future guests. You’re welcome back anytime!

We had a great time here. It was the end of our vacation and we just wanted to lay around by the pool. We paid for the concierge service and it was AMAZING. Samantha needs a raise! Day one she was there to help guide us. We had a private chef as well for my birthday dinner. It was nice not have to make dinner upon arrival. The neighborhood is a new development. Not a lot going on so take that inconsideration. You will need to drive to see sites etc. Beach was super close but we never made it there.

Merci David , je suis très heureuse de savoir que vous avez apprécié votre séjour ,ainsi que les services de Samantha ! À bientôt 😊

Our family of four loved staying at the Villa Ocean and I in Playa Grande for a week.  The house was perfect for us - and our teenagers were so happy to have their own rooms.  The backyard was the best - loved swimming and floating in the pool, and really enjoyed sitting on the lounge chairs to get some sun as well as listen to the birds and monkeys early in the morning with a cup of coffee.  The location is great -- easy to walk anywhere in the small village of Playa Grande (which we much preferred to nearby Tamarindo that was much larger and touristy).   Marina was a great host and super responsive.  We will be telling all of our friends about this place - gracias!  Pura Vida!

Thank you so much, Shannon, for your lovely review. We always give 100% to make sure every guest is delighted with their stay at the villa. You’re welcome back anytime! Pura Vida☀️

We had an incredible stay at this villa! Everything was spotless and well-stocked, making it easy to settle in and feel at home right away. Marina has thought of every detail, providing a detailed book of recommendations that made exploring the area effortless and responding instantly to any questions we had. Her attentiveness truly enhanced our experience. The outdoor living space is luxurious—spacious, beautifully designed, and perfect for relaxing. Whether we were enjoying our morning coffee or BBQing in the evening, it felt like an extension of the home, not just an outdoor space. Inside, the villa is just as welcoming, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is fantastic—just a five-minute walk to the beach and surrounded by a lively surfer environment. Whether you're looking to catch some waves, explore the local scene, or just soak in the relaxed vibe, this is the perfect spot.

Thank you, Bob! You were truly wonderful guests. We always give 100% to make sure our guests are genuinely satisfied, and it means a lot to see that it’s appreciated.♥️

The house was perfect for our family.  We loved how close it was to the beach and the wonderful pool and outdoor area.

Great place to stay and Marina was very helpful. She was very accommodating. Keep the pool clean and even cleaned the house while we were there. I would recommend staying there. We look forward to going back again.

Merci Kathleen! Nous sommes très heureux de savoir que vous avez apprécié votre séjour a la Villa ! Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt. Pura Vida 😊

This Airbnb was amongst the best places we have stayed.  Absolutely beautiful home and the backyard is stunning.  We will definitely stay again!

Thank you so much for your review! 😊 It was a pleasure hosting you at Villa Ocean and I. Sending you my best thoughts. Hope to see you again! 🌊☀️

Marina was fantastic! Her place is amazing, extremely clean, comfy beds, great layout. Marina set out a great welcome gift since we were celebrating 4 birthday's.  extremely thoughtful. Marina and Ghyslain are fantastic hosts. our group of 6 loved your place. We stumbled on the Greatful hotel and had a great night with a great vibe.  Check out the taco star at the beach. you wont regret it. Fantastic beach with great waves to do body surfing within walking distance.  we would definitely be back

Merci beaucoup! Nous sommes tellement heureux que vous avez passé un beau séjour a La Villa ! Nous serons heureux de vous accueillir a nouveau!😎

The house is really nice, it's fully equipped, it's more than equipped. Marina's treatment was super special, she always answered my questions and sent me many recommendations of places and things to do in the area. I recommend this spectacular house and I hope to be back soon. My only mistake was not booking more days.

La casa es super bonita, esta totalmente equipada, es mas esta sobreequipada. Marina su trato fue super especial siempre respondio mis preguntas y me envio muchas recomendaciones de lugares y cosas q hacer en la zona. Recomiendo esta casa tan espetacular y espero Dios primero volver pronto. Mi unico error fue no haber reservado mas dias.

My wife, our two young children and I had a fantastic six-day stay at Villa Ocean & I.  The house was clean and comfortable, and exactly as depicted in the listing, and the pool and outdoor spaces were great as well.  Marina and Ghyslain were extremely friendly, accommodating, and responsive hosts.  We would happily stay there again and highly recommend to anyone traveling to Playa Grande.

Thank you for staying at my Airbnb. I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit. Your satisfaction means a lot to me, and I hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future.

Great location near everything beautiful home

Thank you for staying at my Airbnb. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit and hope to host you again.

Marina’s place is one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed in. It was our groups second time staying at the house and we found it even better than the first time! She puts so much care and detail into the house and keeps it in pristine condition. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Jenna, for your wonderful review and for coming back to our home! It’s always a pleasure to host you and know that you enjoy your stay. Hope to see you again soon!

Marina was an amazing host, always available to answer our questions. The house itself is so beautiful, better than the photos. They really have thought of everything you might need during your stay. From beach toys, to coolers, kitchen appliances. It’s truly a wonderful home. We had heavy rain our whole trip but we’re still able to enjoy the pool and outdoors in the lovely covered deck.

Merci a vous Calita ! Au plaisir de vous accueillir a nouveau avec du soleil ☀️

Everything about our stay was perfect! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When we arrived Marina met us outside guiding us to the location. We were happy to see home was the exact same as the photos both inside and out! Arriving late at night it was nice to have breakfast food provided to start our morning. The neighborhood was very walkable. Daily we enjoyed the beach, local markets, and restaurant’s. Within a 2 minute walk was a hotel Onda we played pool at each evening The property was managed very well, as it was still rainy season. Most days the host came to check on the pool level and drain water. We also had a gardener come to clean the yard mid reservation. Aside from the home and host the locals were very friendly! We felt welcomed everywhere we travel in Costa Rica! Can’t wait to return! 🇨🇷

This beautiful house fully met, and even exceeded our expectations! It was exceptionally clean and well-appointed. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials and many extras. The special provisions even allowed us to hold off running to the grocery store until following day. A real bonus after a long travel day! There was all the equipment you’d want for the beach and the pool. Marina really goes the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need. The pool area is surrounded by multiple seating areas which made our outdoor time so comfortable and enjoyable. Then the beach is just a short walk away and is GORGEOUS! Hard to decide where to spend your time. And while the house felt luxurious, it was also very kid-friendly. It was just the perfect choice for us and we loved every minute of our time there.

Awesome property, very comfortable, safe and a super host. Excellent location! You can walk to restaurants. The house is super clean, everything is in order, the decoration is beautiful. In the morning you see many beautiful birds and sound of nature is spectacular! I recommend it 100% I will definitely return! Pura vida!

Marina's place was amazing! It was very clean and such a nice villa! We were able to check in early and there was some fresh fruit and some essentials in the fridge to get our trip started. Marina was so kind and brought over a chilled bottle of proseco for my birthday celebrations. The gate was a little tricky when leaving the villa but Marina was very responsive and willing to come right over to assist. it rained alot over the first few days and the pool was taken care of discretely each day. There is alot of construction in the area but did not interrupt our vacation. I would recommend Marina's villa for your vacation!!

Merci Natalie ! Je suis vraiment heureuse que vous avez passé du bon temps a la Villa ! Pura Vida !

Marina was an amazing host. Easy to get in contact with, had great suggestions, went above and beyond with some local goodies. The place is beautiful and spotless. The eye for detail was outstanding. We had an infant with us Marina had the pack and play set up for the baby with sheets pillow etc. as well as toys and baby dishes. Perfect vacation spot close to the beach.

Merci Lousie , je suis tellement contente que vous avez aimé votre séjour a la Villa !! Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt! Pura Vida 😎

Marina was extremely responsive and helpful. The house was beautiful and clean. From the moment we arrived to the day we left, we felt safe and happy. Marina went above and beyond by allowing us to arrive early and even left us fresh fruit, milk, and eggs in the fridge. The house is a short walk to the beach at Playa Grande, where the surfing and fishing are great! There are plenty of markets and restaurants within walking distance as well. This was my 3rd time visiting Costa Rica and was the best yet! We cannot wait to come back and stay at Marina's again.

Merci Tayler a toi et a ta famille, vous êtes des voyageurs extraordinaire et nous espérons vous revoir bientôt !!

Such a perfect get away, this place is amazing. Within 5 mins of the beach, amazing restaurants and a few small stores. A couple hours to the rainforest. Highly recommend, we will be back

Merci Liz, ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir. Pura Vida!

Villa, Ocean and I is perfect for family vacation. It is literally 3-4 minutes walking distance to breathtaking beach sunsets, great restaurants, activities, and surfing. The house is beautiful and clean, with well thought amenities, relaxing outdoor space, and pool. But the cherry on top is Marina’s hospitality without a doubt! She replied to all our questions and had a long list of recommendations to make our vacation perfect. All I can add: we will be back ;)

Merci Nataliya, je suis tellement heureuse que vous avez aimé vos vacances a La Viila. J'adore aidé les gens et m'assurer que leur  vacances soit mémorables ! A bientôt !!

We had the best time.  Marina’s house is beautiful and in a great location.  She is very responsive and the house is supplied with everything that you need. We will definitely be coming back for another stay.

Merci Kameron, je suis très heureuse d'entendre ca! A bientôt !

We were 4 friends on vacation who rented the place for about a week and could not be happier! We got detailed descriptions on check in and lots of recommendations for activities etc in good time before the trip. The place was really nice and is in a short (!) walking distance to the beach and various restaurants. Will also give thumbs up to the area of Playa Grande , incredibly great beach and lots of nice eateries yet peaceful area. Everything was really clean and tidy when we arrived and the pool was cleaned regularly (when it suited us). The landlords responded immediately to all our descriptions and questions and followed up with everything quickly! We really recommend the place (both the house and the location) highly! Amazing house and very nice and helpful host :) thank you so much for us!

Vi var 4 venner på ferie som leide stedet i ca en uke og kunne ikke vært mer fornøyd! Vi fikk detaljerte beskrivelser på innsjekk og masse anbefalinger på aktiviteter osv i god tid før reisen. Stedet var kjempe fint og ligger i kort (!) gangavstand til stranden og diverse restauranter. Vil også gi tommel opp til området Playa Grande , utrolig flott strand og mye hyggelige spisesteder men likevel fredelig område. Alt var kjempe rent og ryddig når vi kom og bassenget ble rensket jevnlig (når det passet oss). Husvertene svarte umiddelbart på alle våre henvdelser og spørsmål og fulgte opp alt kjapt! Vi anbefaler virkelig stedet (både huset og beliggenheten) på det varmeste! Fantastisk hus og veldig hyggelig og hjelpsomt vertskap :) tusen takk for oss!

Merci Maren, on est vraiment heureux que vous ayez passé une belle semaine de vacances! Vous êtes les bienvenus quand vous voulez! Pura Vida🏝️

Best AirBnB home we've ever stayed in!  Not only was Marina an impeccable host, but the house is gorgeous and we felt right at home for the week we were there. The house has literally everything you need, even if your'e traveling with a baby, as we were.  If we come back to Playa Grande, we will 100% not even look at another house as an option as this is the best in the area!

Ho thank you Nicole! it makes me so happy to read your comment, we give our 100% so that guests have a happy stay at the Villa, and reading you is a great feeling of pride and accomplishment. You were fantastic travelers ! We hope to see you again soon! ❤️

6 stars. We had a wonderful time. everything was perfect and exactly as described. Marina was a terrific host and provided very clear directions and even fresh fruit and some cervezas frias in the fridge.

Merci a vous ! Vous étiez un groupe formidable! On espère vous accueillir  a nouveau prochainement Les cervezas seront au rendez-vous! Pura Vida !

Our stay at Marina's house was fabulous! Even though there was construction next door, it was not bothersome at all. The house was just as in the pictures and we had a wonderful time at our stay in Playa Grande and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the wonders of Costa Rica. Thanks again Marina!

Merci Jil! Je suis tellement heureuse que vous avez passé de belles vacances! À bientôt 😊

A lovely home in a beautiful location.  Marina was a tremendous host and the most responsive owner I have stayed with.  The beach is beautiful and there are great restaurants in walking distance.  I highly recommend.

thank you Douglas, I am very happy to know that you enjoyed your stay at the Villa. we hope to see you again 🏝️

We stayed for 5 days at Marina’s place and it was perfect! The home is beautiful and clean and a 5 min walk to the beach. Marina was also very responsive and Check in was a breeze! Will definitely come back to stay here.

Merci Kidist à toi et tes amis qui t’accompagnaient! Vous avez été fantastiques ! Vous êtes les bienvenus à la Villa quand vous le désirez! Pura Vida 🏖️

Marina was very helpful throughout our stay. Very quick to respond if I had a question. The Villa looked exactly like the pictures and was comfortable. Will definitely return in the future. 🙂

Merci Lavonne ! Vous êtes des voyageurs exemplaires! À bientôt ☀️

We had a great time at Marina's place.  She was very responsive to any questions that we had. Neighborhood is walkable to many restaurants and beach.  House was clean and comfortable.  Was not bothered by the construction going on around house.  Would love to stay here again.

Merci Erin , nous serions heureux de vous accueillir a nouveau ☺️

Marina was so welcoming and helpful. We had a wonderful stay. The neighborhood is quiet at night, the outdoor space is beautiful. The kitchen is great to cook in, and the outdoor was wonderful to use! We enjoyed morning walks on beautiful Playa Grande every morning. Thank you Marina!

Merci Sarah pour votre belle visite! Au plaisir de vous recevoir de nouveau! Pura Vida 🏝️

Marina was a wonderful host. Her home exceeded our expectations! She surprised us with fruit and a few cold beverages… marina was responsive to our needs and was really helpful for my family. I would highly recommend her home for a quiet Costa Rica vacation!

Merci a vous ! On espère vous revoir bientôt! Bonne vacances au Costa Rica 😎

We really liked Marina's place! The villa was very clean and well ventilated. Nice kitchen and pool. Good location with the beach at a 10min walk. Very recommended place. We had internet issues the first day and Marina was very proactive by helping us fixing it.

Vous êtes les bienvenus! La plage est plutôt à 4 minutes à pied. La panne internet était majeur partout a Playa Grande à cause des grands vents … Merci à bientôt 😊

Marina's house was perfect for our needs.  Well equipped and beautifully decorated and furnished, it was ideal for our brief beach vacation.  A short walk to the beach with shops and restaurants near by.  Thank you Marina!

Merci à vous ! En espérant vous revoir bientôt 😎

Marina's place was perfect for a family vacation. Even better than the photos. Well stocked kitchen and a great layout. We loved having the pool and easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Marina was happy to help assist in providing recommendations for dining and activities. My kids never wanted to leave!!!

Merci Danielle nous espérons vous recevoir à nouveau très bientôt!

Our stay was incredible, we had a great time, always very attentive to cleaning the pool and what we needed, the super nice house, with great taste for the decorative details, very cozy, the kitchen is very complete, clean, comfortable and very close to the beach. The stunning position area, with an area for lunch near the pool. Highly recommended if you want to visit the Playa Grande area.

Nuestra estadía fue increíble,  la pasamos super bien, siempre muy atentos en limpiar la piscina y lo que necesitábamos, la casa super bonita, con muy bien gusto por los detalles decorativos, muy acogedora, la cocina muy completa, limpia, cómoda y muy cerca de la playa. El área de la posiciones impresionante, con un área para hacer almuerzos cerca de la piscina. Super recomendada si quieren visitar el área de Playa Grande.

Merci a vous et votre famille! Vous êtes des gens formidables! À bientôt! Pura Vida 😎

We had the pleasure of staying in this lovely villa for a month.  We were 5 when our kids joined for part. The pool/courtyard was gorgeous. Great kitchen- we made some nice meals. Fabulous tips from Marina and Ghyslain took meticulous care of the pool. PG is growing, with lots of new construction. Stunning beach-typically walked every morning and back for sunset. Kids did a surf lesson/rented boards. We walked into Tamarindo one day - good fun taking the little boat over the estuary. We did several easy trips from the villa: estuary boat tour (pick up at the Grateful) La Leona waterfall (beautiful and fun!) sunset horseback riding in Junquillal, went to several Playas nearby -Hermosa, Conchal, Flamingo, Las Catalinas... Great walkable restaurants- Koyto sushi was fab, Rip Jack (loved the tuna tower), Huerto for pizza, Pots and Bowls... We ate in Tama a couple of times - tacos at Green Papaya, Falafel Bar. We loved exploring towns nearby. We loved this villa and CR! Highly recommend!

Merci Anne ! On espère vous revoir très bientôt!!

This was a lovely Airbnb home with caring, responsive hosts. The property is walkable to the beach, where we enjoyed runs in the morning and watching sunsets at night. The pool was kept clean by the hosts, who live nearby. The home itself is airy, spacious and extremely well stocked. It was lovely to be in a sleepier town than Tamarindo for our family, yet so close by we could easily get to the “bustle” when we wanted. Additionally, the host assisted us with multiple other excursions through her contacts in town. I would 1000% percent stay here with my family again!

Merci Kristin pour votre belle visite! À bientôt!

Great house, great location, great host! We were six adults and we were very comfortable in the house. Everything was perfect!

Seriously by far the best Rbnb or hotel I've had since a long time! Location is great! A favorite of arriving at the house at the small road to the beach. PLEASE take the time to read Marina's recommendations, it's worth gold ♥️ Nice place to bring his family ( young children) there are beaches without waves and can be deep less than 30 minutes away. Playa Great for surfing and sunsets to make you dream 😜✌🏼 Perfect place to understand the term PURA VIDA

Sérieusement de loin le meilleur Rbnb ou hotel que j’ai fait depuis belle lurette! L’emplacement est génial! Un coup de cœur de l’arrivée à la maison à la petite route pour se rendre à la plage. SVP prendre le temps de lire les recommandations de Marina, ça vaut de l’or ♥️ Bel endroit pour apporter sa famille ( jeunes enfants) il y a des plages sans vagues et peux profondes à moins de 30 minutes. Playa Grande super pour le surf et des coucher de soleil à faire rêver 😜✌🏼 Parfait endroit pour comprendre le terme PURA VIDA

Vous êtes tellement les bienvenus quand vous voulez ! Vous êtes des gens exceptionnels! Merci , merci, merci xxx

Everything is perfect, the only thing missing is a sink and the pool scrubber failed quite a bit. Very friendly hosts

Todo perfecto lo único que se echa en falta es un lavaplatos y la depuradora de la piscina fallaba bastante. Los anfitriones muy amables

La pompe à piscine n’est absolument pas défectueuse. Avant de louer , je vous conseille de regarder la liste des équipements.

Marina's home is absolutely beautiful. everything was modern and up to date. she welcomed us with lots of local goodies.  our driver was a bit lost(it was very dark). fortunately Marina lives on the same street and met us within minutes and located her home for us. there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance. many taxis to take you to tamarindo(about 25min) for excursions, restaurants and beach activities. her home was so relaxing, I definitely could have stayed longer. highly recommend Marina's home if you're looking for total relaxation in your private oasis.

thank you ladies you are welcome whenever you want! 🌴☀️🐢☺️

This is such a lovely place! The house is modern, clean and new. The outdoor area is amazing - lots of comfortable furniture and a nice pool. Short walk to the beach with a couple of cool restaurants very close. Don’t hesitate to book this place - Marina is a great host!

Thank you Suanne, I am very happy that you enjoyed the Villa and Playa Grande. See you soon ☺️🐢☀️🌴

Fantastic. Loved the house and location.  Would recommend and stay again.
