The Neighborhood:
Playa Grande is a hidden gem on Costa Rica’s Gold Coast, known for its unspoiled beauty, laid-back charm, and exceptional surf. Nestled within Las Baulas National Marine Park, this tranquil beach town is surrounded by lush mangroves and tropical forest, making it a haven for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful escape. The beach itself stretches for miles with soft golden sand and rolling waves, perfect for surfing, long walks, or simply soaking in the natural surroundings.

What truly sets Playa Grande apart is its commitment to conservation. It's one of the most important nesting sites for endangered leatherback turtles in the world, and visitors can witness these incredible creatures during the nesting season from October to March. The local community is small, welcoming, and eco-minded, with a few charming restaurants, cafés, and surf shops sprinkled throughout. While it feels wonderfully off the beaten path, Playa Grande is just a short boat ride or drive from the lively town of Tamarindo, offering easy access to shopping, nightlife, and additional dining options. Whether you're here to surf, explore, or unwind, Playa Grande offers a rare blend of natural beauty, authentic local culture, and pura vida spirit.

Getting Around:
The nearest airport is Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR), 37 miles away (approx. 1 hour 20 min by car). Driving time may vary with traffic. The villa has one parking space onsite. Taxis and shuttle services are available, but public transport is limited.

Other Things to Note:
There is ongoing construction in the area, so some noise may be heard during your stay.

Great place but needs alittle attention to details.

Very clean with a great layout. Pool was nice. The house wasnt marked at all and our driver had trouble finding it. The alarm didn't work appropriately. Trouble with 2 of the air-conditioners. One was fixed that day but the other never was. None of the TVs in the bedrooms worked because there was no cable or streaming capabilities. Bad smell in the laundry room but washer and dryer was super nice. Some more dish towels and bath towels would be nice. Had to wash them during the week because there weren't enough. A sheet listing how things worked and local stores and restaurants would be nice. Usually have these at all the other VRBO places I have stayed. A great place but someone just needs to be sure everything works and pay attention to the details.

Nice property, lots of construction around!

The villa is nice, great layout, clean, spacious. The pool area could use some love but is OK. The major challenge is that there are 3 construction sites next door with noise from 7am to 4pm! It does impact the pura vida mind set!

Beautiful house in Beautiful Playa Grande

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed with a group of 7 people (4 adults,3 kids). There was plenty of room for everyone. The house is roomier then the pictures make it seem. Overall our stay and Krain was great. We had some issues with the water being turned off a few nights(including the first night we arrived). Krain didn't let us know what was causing the water issues but we heard there were water rationing happening from some locals or it might very been the construction nextdoor causing the issue. Either way I wish Krain would have let us know and been more transparent.That being said I would rent this house again in the future.

Experiencing Serendipity

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: By chance, we were lead to this lovely home rental through Krain management. We certainly experienced good fortune unexpectedly which is the definition of serendipity. This home is decorated beautifully, is comfortable, perfect for large families or shared with friends, easy walk to the beach, pool fun and large fully equipped kitchen. Krain management was delightful to work with (specifically Tony). They cared very much about the happiness of our stay. I highly recommend this property and management group.

March Family Vacation

Our West Coast clan joined their cousins who live in Playa Grande. This villa will easily handle two families--each of the bedrooms is nicely sized and there is a lot of common space. Close to the beach and several restaurants. Great week.
