Property Details
Amazing 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home on large, gated, private lot, with breathtaking ocean and sunset views!
Welcome to Casa Ventana al Mar, your “Window to the Sea” in Playa Grande, Costa Rica. Guests of this beautiful home enjoy the finest sunsets over the Pacific in all of Playa Grande. This very private home is in a quiet, residential area, nestled in a Guanacaste tropical dry forest with a 180-degree view of the ocean. It’s perfect for lounging and enjoying the peace and quiet after a day exploring everything Costa Rica has to offer!
When you enter this gorgeous home, you are immediately drawn to the spectacular view visible throughout the house from oversized sliding glass doors. Indoor / outdoor living at its best! The house is situated on the top of a hill and designed to take advantage of the tropical ocean breezes.
From the front door you enter the main living area with 20-foot ceilings, plenty of seating and a flat screen TV. The neighboring gourmet kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make your own meals, or we can arrange to have our private chef come and prepare a memorable dish for you and your group to enjoy. The large dining table was crafted from reclaimed, local, Guanacaste wood by a local artisan.
Open the extra wide sliding glass doors for free-flowing access to the covered outdoor area and instantly expand your living space. The tropics are all about indoor/outdoor living, creating a relaxing and fun environment from every space. The covered patio offers the perfect spot for your morning coffee or book. Sit and relax or enjoy the chaise lounges as you work on your tan!
The outdoor dining area is great for socializing while the grill master is cooking up the days fresh catch on the gas barbecue after a day on one of our sportfishing charters.
The main attraction of the outdoor area is the 60-foot, infinity edge, ocean view pool. Cool off in the water as you stare out to the Pacific Ocean, the blue skies of Guanacaste and tropical dry forest below. The pool has a shallow beach entry which is great for kids or just lounging. The main pool has plenty of space to splash and cool off between beach visits, or excursions and is the perfect location to enjoy the spectacular Playa Grande sunsets.
This home boasts 3-bedrooms and 3-baths, including two king master suites, each with its own unique features.
Follow the floating staircase to the upstairs master suite. The room is beautifully designed with a coffered wood ceiling, oversized wood fan and custom-built floor to ceiling headboard. The suite includes a large spa style private bathroom with an oversized shower. This suite offers a little more privacy and access to two balconies (one private, one shared) both with incredible ocean views. The shared upper balcony has an outdoor seating area complete with sink and mini fridge. Beautiful place to have a private sunset viewing or toast another wonderful day in Costa Rica!
The sliding glass doors of the main floor master suite open to the pool area and offer an ocean view right from your pillow! The private bathroom has an extra unique feature, a private outdoor garden shower for your enjoyment.

While you could surely spend much of your time unwinding by the pool in Casa Ventana al Mar’s serene setting, you'll not want to miss the local attractions. This ideally located home rests just above Playa Grande and Playa Ventanas, both a short walk from the house. Within a short drive you can also visit the white sands of Bahia de los Piratas, Playa Real, and Playa Mina. For another popular beach, visit Playa Conchal, a shell sand beach. Right beside Playa Conchal, you'll find Playa Brasilito, offering many beachside restaurants and bars. Just north of there is the town of Flamingo, which also has great restaurants and bars, as well as shopping.
Travel 20 minutes south to Tamarindo, for more great surfing and plenty of shopping, dining, beach activities, and a lively nightlife that will keep you entertained for hours!

Great place! The view is beautiful and the pool was perfect for the kids. Very spacious for our family of 5, plus parents. There is AC in every room which was amazing during the heat and humidity. Everything was very clean. Cleaners came twice during our stay and always cleaned very very well. The road was the only part that was a negative for us. We were told it was about a 10 min walk to the beach and it’s a bit longer than that so we drove to and from the ocean. We were warned that the road was also not walkable with a stroller… which was true, but it was also VERY rough, bumpy and hard to even drive on with a car as well. You have to drive very slowly due to the massive bumps and ditches. It’s not paved and is dirt so it’s rough getting to the gate of the property. Once you get onto the property, the dirt road up the hill was also very bumpy and rocky. Think Ace Ventura When Nature Calls and he’s bouncing like crazy in his jeep. Marcelo the concierge was also super helpful, too!
Response From: Grande Vacation Rentals
Hi Janet. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. The view is one of the best features of this home. The road conditions do get a bit rough during the rainy season. I'm also pleased that Marcelo was helpful during your stay. We hope to have you as our guest again soon! -KC
Our family of five had the most fantastic two week vacation in Playa Grande. The communications with Marcelo were excellent and he arranged our dive trips and tours. The tours were amazing and were personal tours with just us. Our two tour guides, Martino and Kaylor, provided custom tours which avoided the crowds which was enjoyable. I would highly recommend a vacation in Playa Grande. We visited Tamarindo one day which was enough for us. The laid back small community was absolutely what the doctor ordered. Good restaurants and small mini marts nearby but good supermarket in Liberia if coming from airport.
We absolutely loved our stay at Keith’s place! The house was amazing - beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable and the view was stunning. It was close to some great restaurants that were recommended by Marcelo and only a few minutes from beautiful beaches. I cannot say enough about our stay at Keith’s house, we can’t wait to go back!
Overall great experience. Nice property beautiful views and great quiet town. Primarily locals and a local restaurants.
One thing to be aware of is I would not say it is “walkable” during rainy season as the roads flood. Easy town to get around with a car or getting a driver.
Getting groceries delivered was very good and transfer arrangements worked perfectly!
Great stay
Our stay at Keith’s was nothing short of amazing. The concierge Marcelo was a huge help and answered any of our concerns in just minutes. The house it’s self was at a wonderful, gated location. The views from the pool/balcony were breathtaking. One downside was the amount of bugs that got into the house but that was nothing controllable. Overall, we had such an amazing stay and I can’t wait to come back.
Best place to stay in Costa Rica!! The house was spectacular. Immaculately cleaned. The views were to die for. Close to the ocean (about a 2-3 minute drive). The concierge, Marcelo, is THE BEST! Whatever we wanted/needed he was able to get us. Very helpful. Our two week family vacation was perfect!
Casa Ventanas al Mar in Tamarindo was amazing! The house has the most beautiful view and was extremely clean. Keith, Marcelo, and Juan David were all super helpful. Looking forward to taking my family here!
Our group had such an amazing stay! Keith and Marcelo were always available throughout the whole trip to answer our questions about activities in the area. The house was super clean and modern. We watched the sunset from the infinity pool every night and I will remember that part of our trip for a very long time. The kitchen is completely stocked, bathrooms have extra towels, and the home overall was a dream. Hope we get to stay here again! Thank you Keith!
