Property Details

Absolutely the best home in Playa Grande for large groups or families. You will find no other home in Playa Grande like the Casa Reina! 20% Off bookings made 30 days before arrival!

Our guests love vacationing with us at Casa Reina!

Casa Reina is a sprawling luxury villa located in a gated community perched high on a mountainside. The home sleeps up to 16 adults and boasts spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, Playa Grande beach, and the Las Baulas nature reserve. It is only a five-minute drive to world-class beaches, dining, and adventuring, and it is less than an hour from an international airport.

Our guests receive a complimentary concierge service to help plan your stay with us. Take advantage of our local knowledge and experience to make your trip as seamless as possible. We are happy to assist with rental cars, airport transfers, tours/excursions throughout the country, private chef services, in-home spa treatments and anything else you may want or need. Just ask us and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

The area is known for its amazing plants and animals, so during your stay you should expect to see a variety of wildlife, including parrots, Howler monkeys, and iguanas. The local town of Playa Grande is welcoming and fun, with all the amenities you could need. To experience the authentic Pura Vida lifestyle, head down to Playa Grande Beach at sunset with a cocktail or a surfboard. For something, a little faster paced check out Tamarindo, a bustling tourist town with shopping and restaurants, 25 minutes to the south, or Flamingo, a picturesque town with restaurants, shopping, and attractions, 20 minutes to the north.

Completed in 2019, Casa Reina is a modern villa with tons of space and all the modern conveniences, set in a true indoor/outdoor setting. The main house offers a fully appointed gourmet kitchen, a 12-foot-long custom dining table, and a large living room perfect for game or movie nights. The living room seamlessly flows out to a spacious deck, infinity pool, and outdoor BBQ area all with spectacular views and plenty room to spread out. A large outdoor living room invites everyone to enjoy incredible sunsets and star-filled evenings together.

The main house has three large, well-appointed bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms, walk-in closets, and private terraces overlooking the sweeping jungle and ocean views. A floating catwalk leads to an impressive master bedroom with a generous private living room. After a long day of fun, you will sleep like a baby in the luxurious king-sized bed, feeling refreshed for each new day.

Casa Reina’s guest house is located at the far end of the property and offers both privacy and a touch of adventure. The small building can comfortably sleep eight between its two bedrooms, each with a large sleeping loft that fits two twin-sized beds. A spacious bathroom with an interior garden connects the two rooms and the 360 views create a sense of sleeping in a jungle treehouse. On your way to the guest house, you will encounter the unique and highly enjoyable hammock garden. Comprised of 7 two-person hammocks, there is room for everyone to relax and marvel at the mountain views to the north, the ocean views to the south, and the sprawling starry night sky.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Reina!! The place was beautiful, clean, and the views were amazing! Marcelo was so helpful with anything we needed. He booked many of our excursions and also arranged for in-home massages for all the adults. We loved it! We would definitely recommend staying here! It was a dreamy, beautiful and an amazing week in Costa Rica!! Thank you for everything!!

Response From: Grande Vacation Rentals

Hi Amy. It makes us extremely happy to know we helped make your vacation with us such a wonderful experience. The amazing house helps, but having Marcelo to help organize and execute anything you needed during your stay is what truly makes our guests' expertise amazing. We hope to see you again in the future! -KC

This place was amazing! The beds were extremely comfortable, the pool was the perfect temperature, and there was so much space. The house also includes personal pool and beach towels. My friends and I (9 in total) had a wonderful time and the Marcelo was top notch with all of our requests! This included everything from setting up our tours (custom ATV + tubing), scuba diving recommendations and booking, chef recommendations, bar and club recommendations, and all of our transportation needs. Some of our requests were last minute and Marcelo and the team were still able to make it happen. The house also comes with housekeeping. Keep in mind that you will need transportation. The place is on hill and isn't very walkable. I highly recommend this place and I would definitely stay again. Thanks for everything, Keith and Marcelo!

Response From: Grande Vacation Rentals

We had such an amazing stay at This home. Everything was top notch! There were 14 of us and we were all comfortable. Marcelo was such a great help, with booking our transportation, chef, and being available for any questions or concerns we had. House keeping was super sweet and ensured we didn’t have to lift a finger. Everything was literally PERFECT. I definitely recommend this house when traveling to Costa Rica! Thank you for an amazing time!

Beautiful house! Very accommodating for our large group. Marcelo, the concierge, was extremely responsive and helpful with all our needs. We were able to book cooks and adventures through him as well as get recommendations for rentals cars etc.
Great vacation house- Highly recommended!

Response From: Grande Vacation Rentals

Hi Maya. I'm happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your time at Casa Reina. Marcelo is truly an asset for our guests when trying to decide fun things to do or simply rent a car with reputable providers. We hope to have you as our guest again soon. -KC

Keith's place was amazing.

It was an open concept space which allowed all the guests to reconnect and spend so much time together. The rooms were well spread out.

The temperature throughout the house was also great because there were A/C units in each area so if you didn't want the A/C on in the living room you could definitely turn the one on in the dining room.

Bedrooms were all equipped with nice soft linens. Many well rested nights!

The kitchen was built for cooking and it has all you needed. We opted for a chef to come into the villa to cook for us and they also had everything they needed!

P.S. the home was equipped with PERSONAL and POOL towels! So that is not something people need to bring with them!

We also were greeted by a family of howler monkeys, iguanas and a lot of forest/wildlife.

Costa Rica is definitely a place that still has the wildlife charm and is still much so I disturbed. We loved that this house was in the heart of it!

Thanks for having us Keith!

This home was 100 percent perfect for our group. Our group consisted of 2 families with children ranging in age from 17 to 5, along with some grandparents. There was plenty of space in the house and guest house to spread out; and also great communal space to hang out, the kitchen is centrally located which is great, because as everyone knows, the kitchen is the heart of the home.

The house is separated from surrounding homes in the gated community by trees so it ends up feeling very private. It’s about a 5 minute drive from Playa Grande Beach, and about a half hour from the busier beach town of Tamarindo. We rented a vehicle and I would highly recommend that to anyone wanting to get out to explore a little more. This house isn’t very walkable to anything.

The absolute best thing about this house was the amazing cleaning service done by a cleaning woman that came daily. We definitely felt spoiled to have her and it was truly a treat to me who would be doing all the daily cleaning:)

A wonderful experience for two families with children. Casa Reina is a gorgeous home with plenty of space for a large group. The infinity pool and deck is perfect for morning or sunset swims. Excellent privacy, tucked away on a quiet hilltop. Convenient to Playa Grande and other area beaches.

Keith is responsive and the team goes above and beyond for concierge services, tours, dining, cleaning, and anything else to ensure a wonderful stay.

Would highly recommend the property and team (Marcelo, Marcia, Darleen, etc.) 5 stars!

We loved our stay at Keith’s place! His concierge Marcelo was very responsive, helpful in coordinating our activities and integral in getting transportation for 16 people to multiple locations! There was also a cleaning service that maintained the airbnb in its pristine condition. Could not recommend this place more! Thank you for such a great experience in Costa Rica!

Beautiful house with plenty of space! We traveled with two families and several kids. The beaches are close by and are beautiful and not crowded. Good communication, and the recommendation for the chef was amazing. House keeping came daily and did a fantastic job, both inside and out!! We had a great stay.

I am a regular Airbnb traveler and would rate Keith’s place as one of the nicest, best located, and real value of all the places I have stayed. The place was very clean, modern, had everything we needed to feel at home. The hosts provided everything we needed and was available at all times to answer our questions very quickly. It’s definitely been one of our favourite holidays so far, and would definitely recommend it to others!

Had a great stay at Casa Reina this last week. The house is beautiful, the local area was great, and the road up to the driveway got paved while we were there. We are so thrilled for you and neighbors. While we didn't have much interaction with Marcelo or Keith last week they were quick to respond when we had questions or did have issues. They made sure any issues were taken care of and we appreciated that.
The house itself and the configurations are fantastic. A great property to accommodate large groups and not feel like your are on top of each other. Loved the outside layout with the expansive pool and outdoor bbq area. A terrific place for pictures, hanging out and playing games. We also loved the covered patio area. We spent a lot of time there and had frequent visits from the monkey's.

The house came with everything you needed to cook meals(dinnerware, glasses, cooking utensils, and even some spices. The refrigerator have filtered water and made ice which was nice. There were plenty of beach towels, ice chests and the washer and dryer were a real plus.

The house was in need of minor updates and fixes as any house would after being rented for several years. Also it would have been nice to have little sitting areas outside each of the bedrooms balconies or patios. There were a few bean bag type chairs that didn't really invite your guests a nice place to sit out. With that being said I want to make sure you know the house is fabulous and we loved every minute of our stay. Thanks again and hope to be back soon!

Our stay at Casa Reina was spectacular. The house was exactly as the pictures show and the service provided from concierge and housekeeping was outstanding.

I don’t even know where to begin-this house is absolutely amazing! I will start off with one important note, which has nothing to do with the house itself, if you select this house it is most important to have a Vehicle with AWD. Otherwise you might get stuck at the bottom of the hill, like we did. After that everything is a go.

The front door to the home is absolutely gorgeous and that’s just the start. When you enter, the vestibule is absolutely incredible! Ceiling to floor windows with an open air concept - front to back. It’s definitely a spot for photo opportunities. When you enter the kitchen, living & dining room area, it is completely open concept and the finishing touches are absolutely immaculate. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to cook a huge breakfast for our group of five every day.

The pool area also is absolutely immaculate. The water is cool, but not cold, which made for many fun days and nights of singing, swimming and dancing in the water enjoying each other’s company.

The bedrooms are perfectly laid out, however, I did wish the MBR had a fuller view but it was lovely and comfortable. We all spent time Outside of our rooms early in the morning just to hear the birds chirping and whatever other animals were in the forest. Absolutely magical! I could go on and on about how amazing this house is, but it truly is something you must experience for yourself.

Lastly, I have to give the biggest shout out to Marcelo and his team who made our trip absolutely perfect. He was responsive, communicative, and gave the best recommendations. Do yourself a favor and ask Marcelo to help arrange an in-home catered dinner with Costa catering – you will not regret it for a single second. Thank you to both Keith and Marcelo for an absolutely fantastic experience for our first time in Costa Rica. Salud!

The road was the only issue - with the bugs in Costa Rica, just make sure the lights in the main area are shut off at night so it doesn’t attract them. Other than that loved it.

by Review from Airbnb Guest #147164

04/05/2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Reina. The house was so beautiful, the views were amazing, and the hospitality provided by Marcelo was the best! Marcelo was quick to respond and helped our group of 9 plan everything from airport shuttles, excursions, recommendations for dinner and drinks in the town of Playa Grande and Tamarindo. Surfing lessons in Playa Grande was one of our favorite things to do - it was a short drive away from the house and we got to meet the locals and had lunch at the local restaurant by the beach. The rooms in the house were very spacious and separated enough which provided plenty of privacy when you wanted to step away from the main areas of the house. From the backyard we got to see monkeys, iguanas and a whole pack of costa rican racoons! All were friendly and didn't bother us - but was fun to see while hanging out in the pool. The house is roughly a 20-30 minute drive to Tamarindo, so keep that in mind if you plan on visiting there.

The only downside we experienced was the unpaved road leading up to the house. Many times our shuttle couldn't make it up the hill to the house to pick us up so we had 9 girls walking down a steep dirt hill - about a 5-10 minute walk - which caused a few girls to slip and fall when wearing sandals. Going up the hill in a van is also a little scary because it is so steep. The bugs also did like to come out at night in the downstairs bathrooms, but they were gone by the morning so it wasn't a big deal. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely come back!

We had an amazing stay at this home! The house was better in person than in pictures. It was clean and modern. The rooms were spacious and comforting. The living room/dining area were very large and can accommodate a big group or family. The pool and views were breathtaking. Marcelo was a great communicator. He assisted us with organizing all of our activities and transportation. The only cons for us( which doesn't change this being a 5 star experience), was the road could be fixed and there was an influx of bugs at night. However, a little off spray helped with that.

Casa Reina is an amazing and beautiful property, a few miles from the beautiful playa grande beach. The home is spacious and clean, the views of the mountains and the ocean are spectacular, the pool and the outdoor space is amazing, Marcelo is an incredible concierge , anything we needed, anything we wanted he was there to provide it, all the tours he put together were perfect, all the recommendations for restaurants were great, (since we can’t take Marcelo back home with us we will be back!!!) we had a great vacation, thankyou to Casa Reina and Marcelo!

This is a beautiful property!! The pics and video we found on YouTube are accurate. Lots of space with a beautiful outdoor area. Marcelo was very accommodating, and was even able to find a local cook to prepare breakfast and dinner. Everything was absolutely delicious! The property has a beautiful view! Our only issue was the road that the house is on. We did not expect such a steep, dirt/rocky road; however, you’re only on it for a short time.
