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!

Costa Rican Paradise Found: A Vacation Rental Worth Returning To!
This is our 2nd stay at Casa Amigos! We love it. The property is very clean, well stocked, and perfectly situated adjacent to the beach and our favorite restaurant. Shawna, the property manager was great at coordinating our excursions, securing grocers, checking in on us, and was readily available when we needed her. We are already booked again for next year!

Ideal location for sunsets and surfing
Beautiful house and cannot beat the location for access to Playa Grande. We saw gorgeous sunsets each evening and the kids learned to surf this trip! The property manager also helped us to arrange a catamaran trip and some other fun activities. 10/10 would stay here again! Thank you!

Great stay with extended family!
We really enjoyed this house. The house is well-equipped and the backyard/pool area is stunning. Our kids enjoyed the ping pong table, the boogie boards and the pool. The beach across the road is gorgeous and the restaurant next door was our favourite place to eat. Overall we had a really great stay!

They have a real state-type lock that keeps the house keys "2". The lock is exposed to the environment and gets hard to open and close. A better way to access the beautiful property should be taken into consideration. Other than that the house is perfect and well maintained. Thanks for letting us stay at your place.

Casa amigos is an amazing property. The property is exactly as described, close to the beach (about 2 minute walk), had everything we needed, and more! 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! She said everything up for us, and even arrange for a chef to come in, which I highly recommend Yani if you are staying there! can’t say enough good things about this property and the people associated with it! Would definitely stay again!

wonderful house in a lovely community
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.

This home in Playa Grande is more than weever expected and perfect for our group of 10. It has all the pleasures of home away from home. The pool area is amazing and perfect place to relax! The beach is a short walk and the Azul Cafe is right next door which has the best food and service I have ever had on vacation! This is an exceptional home with everything you could ever want or need to relax!

The house had everything we needed and literally a 3 minute walk to the beach. The owner and house manager answered all our questions and took care of EVERYTHING, our excursions, transportation and groceries. 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.

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.

Perfect home in paradise
This house exceeded my expectations, we had family and friends get together, perfect for all of us. The house is equipped with everything you’ll need, the pool is perfect, the beach is a few steps away, we can’t think of anything else to make it a perfect stay. It also felt very private and safe! I recommend 100%, we will be back for sure! As a costarican that has been coming to playa grande for over 30 years, this location continues to be a top favorite.

Don’t hesitate to book!
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!

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

Cost Rican Paradise
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.

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.

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.

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.

Wow! What a wonderful hom...
Wow! What a wonderful home. My family (3 kids;11,10,6 and husband) and I spent the week between Christmas and New Years here. We had an absolute blast. The home is more than we expected with spacious bedrooms and large living spaces. Nathalie, our personal housekeeper, came daily and Ludo kept the grounds in great shape! The pool was also cleaned every day. They were such nice people. The luxury of a 5 star hotel with the privacy of your own home. The beach is right down the path so surfing and tanning were only steps away. The family enjoyed walks on the beach, looking for shells and bird watching. We also saw the most spectacular sunsets we have ever seen. When you get there be sure to go to the local restaurants they were wonderful! We are all looking forward to returning next year.
