About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Camaleon 2 Beach Studio 🏄

Casa Camaleon is located in Palm Beach Estates which is a quaint and exclusively private community of Playa Grande. You will arrive at Palm Beach first through a gated entrance and then onto a narrow stone-covered road circling our community of only around 200 homes making our community feel welcome. 5 minutes from the front door to the beach sand, we are a short beach walk from the world-famous surf break of Playa Grande as well as several other popular surf beaches including our home break right out front which we call Palm Beach Main.
The Camaleon Cabinas is a small group of 5 private, self-contained apartments, owner-run with specific attention to detail. Tropical garden. Fenced yard. The decor is ethnic boutique-style simply done but perfectly sufficient. We have 2 x studio apartments and 3 x two-bedroom apartments. Each apartment is fully equipped with kitchenware, modern AC, free WIFI, all linens and towels, boards, and bikes onsite. It's everything we look for when we travel.
We are unique in our ability to offer affordable accommodation without compromising on what we found to be important amenities whilst still being right by the most beautiful beach and also close to the ferry which crosses over into Tamarindo for those who want to feel a little more hustle and bustle for the day. Palm Beach is in the center of the Marine Park for the Turtle nesting grounds. The beach is seemingly endless and always uncrowded. Great surf, stunning beach, countless wildlife of all kinds, quaint town, very good for the soul.

No Surprises
No surprises here, exactly as listed. Communication with the Host was always timely. They turned us onto a great transport service to and from Liberia Airport. This place is on the small side but had everything we needed for our stay. It was very clean and comfortable. The king bed was on the hard side and not the foam mattress we are used to but worked fine. The air con runs all the time and makes some noise but we like some white noise when we sleep. Easy walk to the beach and 3 restaurants. Cafe Mar Azul was by far the best. George make the best Mai Tai. The market is Very basic with no prices listed. We followed other’s advice and stoped on the way from the airport for supplies. Tamarindo has many grocery stores to choose from. We did not cook, just sandwiches, but the kitchen supplies are minimal and it would be difficult to cook much. Large refrigerator, hot plate and toaster oven. No microwave in our unit. 20-30 min walk and $2 ferry ride to Tamarindo. The beach is nice and flat with no rocks. There is minimal shade but we travel with our own chairs and shade. These along surf boards and bicycles can be rented close by. We also brought our own liquor along with mayonnaise and miracle whip. We would have no problem staying here again. Tip- if you are buying coffee the airport pricing is the same as we found in Tamarindo and if you buy 5 you get 2 free which is a good added savings. Costa Rican coffee is some of the best and I always stock up when there. Pura Vida

Relaxing & convenient casa next to Playa Grande
The casa had everything we needed to blissfully enjoy our week in the hot air of Costa Rica right next to a wonderful beach. Sharr is an amazing host and was always available for all our questions and needs. We would definitely go back again.

Good base camp for local exploration
This is a very nice affordable base camp for surfers and beach lovers around Playa Grande. The property was exactly as advertised. Very peaceful secluded spot. I will return for another stay.

Awesome place to stay
Casa Camaleon is a great place to stay in for all types of travellers. It is in a quiet location surrounded by lots of trees and wildlife. It’s a quick walk to the beach and local grocery mart. There are also a lot of restaurants within walking distance as well. The kitchenette in the apartment had everything I needed to prepare all of my meals. There is also an outdoor shower when you get back from the beach. I like the lockbox key system as well, so you never have to worry about bringing your room key to the beach or having to hide it somewhere. The owner Sharr is also great to deal with and very knowledgeable about the area and can recommend all types of things to do and see. Overall it was a perfect place to stay.

Loved this location
A perfect, quiet, private apartment for my husband and me. We loved our long walks on the beautiful beach. The location is perfect for enjoying sand, surf, and sun. Local spots to eat at were lovely. We will definitely stay here again. Sharr was extremely helpful with any questions prior to our travel and made some great recommendations! Thank you.

Costa Rica get away
Absolutely loved the place! The only negative was that the security code to access the property was changed at the last minute on the day of our arrival, and due to an unexpected power outage, we had no way of getting the communication with the new code until the 2nd day. It would have been better if the original code I received on my VRBO a couple days before our arrival had worked for the first night at least. Other than that, the place was really amazing and my mother enjoyed her stay there VERY much!!!!

This apartment is in an excellent location, a short walk to the beach and local restaurants. It is set in a peaceful shaded garden which is ideal for relaxing out of the midday heat. The nearby beach is stunning with great waves for surfing or body boarding and is not crowded at all. Parking is just outside the apartment. We enjoyed breakfast’s and dinners at Cafe Mar Azul which is 5 minute walk away with good food and friendly staff. Communication was good with the owners and we had no problem finding the apartment or with check in. We also enjoyed a canoe safari on the estuary seeing many birds, small crocodiles, lizards and howler monkeys. We would definitely recommend.

This is rental is a great location. Very efficient use of space. For future travelers I recommend bringing your own beach towel. The ones provided are simply bath towels and when I reached out to the owner to get more, I was denied. If you need a hair dryer you need to bring your own. Also you need to bring bath soap and shampoos.
