About this property

Hidden Gem! Just a 3 min walk to Playa Grande!

Welcome to Casa Marina! Casa Marina is located in a gated residential community, very quiet, secluded and surrounded by nature. The beach is breathtaking and only a 3 min walk from the home! The home borders the Las Baulas National Park, home of the protected nesting grounds for leatherback, olive ridley and green sea
turtle species.

The home features a master bedroom suite and two connected efficiency apartments with each their own private entry, totaling three bedrooms and three baths. The master room adjoins the main kitchen and living space, great for gathering!

The master room is furnished with a king size bed. A twin trundle daybed is located in the master living area as well as a futon for additional sleeping arrangements. The master room and main kitchen include a six-burner gas stove and full oven, with plenty of cooking space to host a family meal!

The two additional rooms are each furnished with a queen bed and twin trundle daybed or full trundle under the queen bed. Both queen rooms include a private bathroom and kitchenette fully equipped with refrigerator, two burner electric stovetop, coffee maker, microwave, blender, and toaster oven.

Each room is equipped with built in closets, safes, and surfboard racks! Several local outfitters can provide your surfboard rental as well as surf lessons and board repairs.

The property is fully enclosed offering a private tropical getaway complete with pool and ample seating space for outdoor activities. An outdoor dining table provides a wonderful spot for morning coffee, family meals, playing card games and catching up with family and friends!

Casa Marina is located within the quiet gated community of Palm Beach Estates. There are three restaurants within the neighborhood, each offering local as well as international dishes, absolutely something for everyone! There is also a small grocery store that provides any essentials that may be needed.

There is ample off street and gated parking available on the property. The neighborhood is patrolled by security day and night.

Please note that this is an older home in the area, built in 2005, it is a comfortable beach house with authentic charm as well as some expected wear and tear. It is not a luxury accommodation, though we feel the home is a comfortable, accommodating and affordable option for families and friends to relax and enjoy the beauty of the area and be in close proximity to the beach. We want nothing more than for our guests to thoroughly enjoy their stay. We have had dozens of guests provide positive reviews and several have returned for additional stays and referred friends/family. We feel like having clear expectations can help to ensure a positive experience and we are always available to answer any questions during your stay!

This house was exactly as described and we loved it so much! Kristi was super helpful. Every time we needed a suggestion for an excursion she gave us the best contacts. The stay was really wonderful. Pool was great. Neighborhood was great. Beach was great. Nearby restaurants were great. Would definitely stay there again. Plenty of room for up to three couples although we didn’t have that many people. We were very happy with our stay.

This was truly an ideal place to stay for our week in Playa Grande. The house is divided into three casitas, each with a bathroom, and kitchenet. The main casita has a full kitchen. The beach is just down the road, and the beach access links to a trail that goes from Palm Beach Estates to Playa Grande. The pool was deep and perfect for a quick dip in the morning or afternoon. Three good restaurants in easy walking distance. Yoga with Liz was wonderful, and surf lessons from Playa Grande Surf Camp were easy to arrange and perfect for our skill level.We relaxed on site and did not rent a car. We walked to Playa Grande (25 minutes North by beach) to eat and take yoga at Rip Jack. We also walked to Tamarindo (15 minutes south by beach). Take a small boat across the estuary, 2. We like the quiet of PG, but also enjoy the shopping in Tamarindo. Try Green Papaya, we keep going back.
