Playa Grande, Costa Rica
Playa Grande is one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful and laid-back beach towns, known for its wide sandy shoreline, breathtaking sunsets, and world-class surf. Located just north of Tamarindo, it offers the perfect balance of natural beauty and convenience—close enough to restaurants and shops, yet far quieter and more relaxed than busier tourist areas.

The beach is part of Las Baulas National Marine Park, famous for its protected leatherback sea turtle nesting grounds. Visitors can enjoy long walks along pristine coastline, surfing some of the best breaks in the country, or simply relaxing with the sound of the waves. The area is also a favorite for yoga, fishing, and eco-adventures, with easy access to estuary tours, wildlife viewing, and day trips around Guanacaste.

Whether you’re seeking adventure or tranquility, Playa Grande is a special corner of Costa Rica that captures the best of “pura vida” living.

A beautiful coastal villa with fabulous accommodations. We loved being in the newly designed open air home, enjoying all the amenities and privacy while being able to walk 5 min to the amazing beach. We enjoyed taking surfing lessons, walking at sunset and being able take the water taxi over to Tamarindo for an evening out. This is a special place and one we will come back too!

Response From: Grande Vacation Rentals

Hi Bethany. Thank you for the awesome review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the design of the home, the privacy, and the easy walk to the beach. It sounds like you made the most of your time with surfing, sunsets, and a visit to Tamarindo—that’s exactly the experience we hope guests have. We’d love to welcome you back anytime. Hope to see you again soon! -KC

We had a wonderful stay in this stunning villa. From super comfy beds to a spacious patio for evening cocktails and a great chef’s kitchen and beautiful furnishings, this home truly has it all. The gorgeous Playa Grande beach is just a couple minutes’ walk away for surfing, dawn beach walks and sunset watching. The hosts have equipped the house with everything you need for cooking, lounging, swimming, sunning and even working. We appreciated the en-suite bathrooms, chill pool and large screen TV for some weekend sports watching. It’s just a short walk to restaurants and boutiques so you may go days without using your car. One of our best stays ever!

Response From: Grande Vacation Rentals

Claudia, thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review. We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the villa, from the comfort and design to the outdoor spaces and proximity to Playa Grande. It’s great to know the home had everything you needed to relax, cook, and even get some work done, and that the location made exploring so easy. We truly appreciate the kind words and would love to welcome you back for another stay. -KC
