NEWLY Renovated! Ocean, Beach Casa with 5 Bedrooms, 5 Baths & Private Pool!

This casa is the perfect getaway to relax and enjoy the warm breezes of the Costa Rican coast. The neighborhood of Palm Beach Estates is a quiet, gated community with onsite security, located within the lush Las Baulas national marine park. The peaceful, uncrowded beach of Playa Grande is covered with beautiful shells just waiting to be discovered. And if you enjoy wave riding, our beach has one of the best surf breaks in the country! Casa Amigos is a spacious, uniquely designed property that was recently renovated to maximize the vacation experience for larger groups. The house boasts several living spaces for multiple activities yet maintains an open, interactive floorplan for the ease of group entertainment. Its two separate living rooms, centered in the house, provide a television with DVD player, plus a speaker. These rooms flow to the fully equipped kitchen, so you may curl up on one of several couches while other group members cook dinner or watch a movie.


The floorplan includes five bedroom suites – four conveniently positioned off the two main living areas & the fifth being a private suite just off the pool. Each bedroom has its own internal bathroom, providing exceptional privacy from the rest of the group. All bathrooms have tiled showers and separate vanities. Four bedrooms have king-size beds with premium luxury mattresses & sheets. One bedroom has a queen size bed plus a set of twin bunks (affectionately called “the kids room”). All bedrooms have separate, individual AC units and ceiling fans, as well.

The kitchen is the perfect gathering place for any time of day. Fully equipped with stainless steel refrigerator, cooktop, microwave and oven, it provides all the modern conveniences of home. There is seating for six at the breakfast bar, plus an additional seating for six at the dinette area. Its gorgeous dark wood cabinetry and granite counter-tops are two luxurious accents of this upscale property.

With regard to luxury, this home’s remarkable function cannot overshadow its equally beautiful form. Its interior design is the distinct collaboration of its stateside owners & a local decorator. From its incredible wood-covered, vaulted ceilings to its playful light colored sofas, every design element is precisely chosen. Combining the influences of the coast with the local art of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, the interior of this property conveys the perfect blend of “tropical chic”.

And once you have taken the opportunity to absorb the entire list of “inside” delights, you won’t want to miss its equally impressive outside amenities. Situated directly in front of the beach access, it is only steps from pristine Playa Grande beach and all of its many activities. You may also prefer to take your choice of a refreshing plunge in the private swimming pool, or simply kick back in a lounge chair to catch some rays amid the tropical landscape of the backyard. Or perhaps relaxing in the cool water on a “pool stool” while sipping an ice-cold fruit smoothie might be most appealing!

Excellent stay
We had a great stay in Playa Grande and would definitely return to stay again. The communication with the owners and the house manager were excellent throughout the process. The pictures are accurate and the space is great. We were very comfortable. Having the beach about 50 yards away was awesome and the pool got used a lot too. Shawna, the local manager, was extremely helpful in arranging a cooked meal in the house and local excursions. The walk down the beach and using the water taxi to get to Tamarindo was so easy. Casa Amigos is highly recommended and we hope to make it back soon. Pura Vida!

Casa De Amigos
Our stay at Casa De Amigos was everything and more than we could have even imagined. The property was better than the pictures. It was clean and well maintained. The location was excellent - very quiet and very close to not only the beach but a couple of excellent restaurants within walking distance. We took our 4 children and their spouses with us to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and everything was perfect. The 5 bedrooms and 5 baths fit our needs perfectly. The pool was amazing and the outside areas were perfect for relaxing, eating and enjoying each other's company. We had a chef come in one night and fix us an "authentic" Costa Rican dinner. We had 2 massage therapists come in and give everyone massages. This was an amazing vacation for us and our children. Would highly recommend this property.

Pure Relaxation!
Our extended family traveled down to Playa Grande to stay at Casa Amigos in February for the kid's school break. We had 6 adults and 4 children in our group, and I will say this was one of the best experiences with VRBO we have had ever. Between the hands down professional style trip planning services provided by Shawna (Casa Manager) prior to our arrival, to the constant communication and face to face greeting upon check in, we were extremely impressed by the level of service provided. The house was well appointed, extremely clean and provided a relaxing and fun retreat for everyone. Shawna provided grocery stocking service prior to our arrival, assisted with several day trip activities, scheduled a local chef (Yani) to prepare several lovely meals for us and was available and communicative with us all week while we navigated our first time in CR. The house's proximity to the beach path was amazing, especially for quick dips down for early morning coffee or evening happy hour sunsets. The pool and pergolas were a welcome retreat from the heat during the day and there were plenty of pool floats, toys, and floatation devices for the kids. Truly a fantastic experience and would recommend Casa Amigos to anyone traveling to the Playa Grande area, especially with larger group or family.

Truly amazing
I cannot say enough good things about Casa Amigos. My family of 7 spent a wonderful week in this house. The backyard is as lovely as the pictures from the pool and the shaded cabana where we had our coffee every morning to the large table area also in the shade for our dinners and nightly games. The home is very clean and supplied with everything you could possibly need. Our granddaughter especially loved the huge bag of beach toys for the pool and beach. Just a short walk away were 3 great places to eat, all with wonderful outdoor seating. The beach is close by and is semi private to watch the sunset or just enjoy the sand and water. We felt very safe in the house and walking anywhere in the area. The house manager, Shawna, was so very helpful, from stocking us with groceries before we got there to arranging transportation and all of our excursions. We would have been lost without her. Do not pass on this house. It is one of the best rental homes I have ever stayed in. We had high expectations for this home based on the pictures, and Casa Amigos exceeded them.

Vacation of a Lifetime
Wow! Our family had THE BEST TIME. The very attentive concierge service helped us organize activities (sailing, animal sanctuary, mud baths) The 5 bedrooms/5 bathrooms was a PERFECT set up for our group. We had the kitchen stocked and ready for us. The walk to Playa Grande was THE BEST PART. Costa Rica (my first trip) is now at the top of my list. Thanks for a wonderful vacation. Very memorable. Wonderful country. Loved every minute. Remember to bring bug spray...we're gald we did. WHOOP WHOOP. See you again soon, Pura Vida

On top of the amazing property, Shawna is fabulous to work with. She was super helpful throughout the entire planning process, arrival and available at all times during our stay!

The house was perfect for our party of 9. The kids (teenagers) had plenty to keep them busy between the pool, beach, and ping pong table. The house had everything you could need to cook at home but there were restaurants within walking distance as well. The beach is very easy to access and was great for both swimming and surfing. We would definitely consider staying at this house again if we travel with a large group again.

My one and only complaint is that there is not a tv in the bedrooms, except for the outside-upstairs room. Great location and we lived out the backyard oasis.

Great Stay - Pura Vida!
We had a fabulous time! The casa was wonderful and perfect for three family friends wanting to celebrate a 50th birthday and two high school graduations. The home has five ensuite bedrooms with one suite upstairs. One has a bunk bed and queen bed w/bath. For three families with eight teens it worked perfectly for our vacation! The home is very comfortable with AC during a hot, rainy and very humid season. Pool was great and perfectly heated. Beach is extremely close and safe just across the dirt road. The whole area is gated with a guard station. We felt comfortable walking to dining at night. The size of the place is not huge, est under 3K sf but the layout worked perfectly for our needs. Shawna is awesome and very quick with communication. She helped setup the tours, transfers and transportation to and from the activities. I would reco using Shawna and her team to schedule activities versus going through an online sites. It costs a bit more but it's full service with transportation and your own driver for the day. Most of the activities (Guachepelin and Rio Celeste) were about 2+ hour drive from the casa. They were completely worth it! The drivers were accommodating if you needed to add additional stops (ATM, grocery market, food pick-up, etc.). All-in-all we all had a great first visit to Costa Rica! We will be back!

We had a great time at Casa De Amigos. It’s beautifully decorated and you can’t beat the location. The beach was so close and we got fresh coconuts from the women at the corner. It had everything we could need and it was private. The outdoor area was a nice retreat after catching the morning waves. Shawna, the property manager is wonderful and answered all our questions and setup our deep sea fishing trip and transfers. She is amazing!! We got to meet Mark (one of the owners) and he was a fountain of knowledge and such a delight to talk with. Don’t hesitate to book this place!

Don’t Wait!!!
Casa Amigos was absolutely perfect! We had a large groups with 6 adults and 3 teenagers. The house was spotless, stocked, spacious enough for everyone, the backyard was just the right vibe for relaxing and the location of the house couldn’t have been better! A super short walk out to the beach and right next door to Cafe Azul! Which lets put this out there right now, Cafe Azul’s food was spot on every single time! Not to mention friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Oh and happy hour everyday! We ate there at least 4 times :-) Also the Grateful Hotel had some amazing Ahi Tuna and mango margaritas:-) Surf lessons for the teens were a huge hit as well as renting surf boards and bikes. My only lesson learned is stop at the grocery store in Liberia on your way in! There is a store in Tamarindo and in the neighborhood, but as expected they are super pricey and might not have what you need. We got what we needed, just paid a little more. Scott the owner was incredibly friendly and was easy to communicate with from the beginning. One of the biggest pluses of this house was getting to work with Shawna and Jorge. Shawn worked with me for months and we had a large group which means changing plans. She was so patient and helpful and we couldn’t have done this trip without her. She stopped by during the week to check on us and even brought by a fruit that a member of our group had been searching for all week! My kids are already planning our return!!!

Perfect Costa Rica Vacation
We had an amazing stay on our first trip to Costa Rica at Casa de Amigos. We were two families, 4 adults and 5 kids. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and fully air conditioned. The house was very well equipped with everything you’ll need including beach towels, chairs and boogie boards. Located right across from the public access to the beach, we could walk into the water in just two minutes. Saw the best sunsets every night. Fantastic pool and outdoor area at the house as well. Palm Beach Estates felt very safe and we really enjoyed walking to great restaurants, bars, surf shops and the market. The house manager Shawna helped us arrange a few activities including a trip to Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Lodge. We also used a local surf shop to arrange group surfing lessons and a snorkeling excursion. Can’t say enough about this great property! We will be back.

First, the up-front communication in advance of our stay was excellent and thoughtful. The location with easy access to the beach is wonderful. There is an upstairs suite accessed adjacent to the pool that makes it separate from the main living area which is nice if you have two groups like we did. The house is well equipped with everything including beach toys, chairs, etc. There are several areas for lounging and eating. Cleaning staff came twice during our week and were excellent. Several restaurants and bars and a small store are all within walking distance including a water taxi to Tamarindo. I would enjoy returning. It’s difficult to imagine finding anything that could surpass our experience here.
