About this property

4 bed / 4 bath w pool and rooftop patio 50m from Beach in Grande

Across the lane from the beach in Playa Grande’s luxurious Palm Beach Estates, this three bedroom home and casita is nestled on a large landscaped lot with a pool in front and the nature reserve at the back. There is a rooftop covered treehouse patio above the garage. If you are lucky, you'll see Howler monkeys from there or as you return from taking in the sunset on the secluded beach - and several of Guanacaste’s finest restaurants and up-scale bars are only blocks away.

The main house has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, as well as a semi-attached casita with complete bedroom/bath. Bedrooms come with the following sleeping arrangements:

Master Bedroom: King bed - master bedroom with ensuite bathroom (also has entrance from hallway)

Secondary Bedroom: Queen bed - ensuite indoor / outdoor bathroom

Third Bedroom: Queen bed & single built in bunk bed

Semi-detached Suite - queen bed & day bed with ensuite small bathroom

NEWLY renovated kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, including large double door fridge, dishwasher, oven/stove, microwave, blender, coffee maker and all of the basics to cook.

A/C units in all indoor living areas of the house.

The spacious tiled and fully screened front patio has double ceiling fans and a large built-in gas grill. Other amenities include laundry room, and a second story terrace with hammocks and sitting area. Everything you need! Comfortably sleeps eight (with beds for up to eleven).

Casa Kalumina has some safety features to keep the house locked up tightly, including a roll down metal screen. We recommend keeping this down when leaving the property and at night.

Did we forget to mention how close we are to the beach? We are located between the estuary and the beach, and it is a block walk to the beach entrance. It is actually across the street but due to other developments, you have to walk down about 100 meters and you are at the access. There is even a water taxi service to Tamarindo from Central America’s largest mangrove estuary three hundred yards away. Kalumina…the perfect place to stay!

We loved the charm of this property and we appreciated having three comfortable bedrooms with three full bathrooms. The fully equipped kitchen served us well and we took advantage of being able to do laundry on site. The pool and patio were well used and being a short walk from the beach was an added bonus. Shawna is an excellent property manager and the area is safe. We would not hesitate to stay there again!

We had a wonderful month long stay at Casa Kalumina. The house was very comfortable for 4 adults and four kids. The pool was large and perfect for kids. The house is very close to the beach and we really appreciated all the beach toys, wagon, tent, boogie boards, and beach chairs. Shawna was a great property manager who was very responsive and took care of multiple transport bookings for us.

We had an excellent time! The house was perfect for us! Loved that there were two suites with attached bathrooms. Kitchen was well stocked, and there were lots of beach towels. Pool was great and offered both sun and shade areas. Grounds were beautiful and our favorite spot was the screened patio area. Felt very safe in the area. Shawna was a gem and so helpful answering our questions and arranging our transfers and also a golf cart rental for us! Proximity to the beach was awesome and the beach itself was probably the nicest I’ve ever been to! Perfect for long walks without tons of people. Beautiful sunsets. There are four restaurants within walking distance and several other options if you have a vehicle. If you want a peaceful, quiet stay (albeit for a bit of construction in the area which obviously is not the fault of the management company) this is the place for you!

Beautiful property that was perfect for our stay. It’s an easy walk to the beach or restaurant. The sunset views, awesome waves, animals/birds, fruits will be bringing us back soon. The beds were comfortable, A/C was cold, full kitchen, and grill made it easy to prepare meals during our visit. The outdoor shower was great to wash off the excess sand and screened in patio were a definite plus.

Playa Grande family retreat

Enjoyed a wonderful beach vacation with a very short walk to the beach. Cafe Mar de Azul is next door and provides a convenient location to eat. Howler monkeys were seen and the pool was well maintained. Highlights of the trip were taking the water taxi to Tamarindo and enjoying a sunset cruise on Playa Flamingo. All in all I highly recommend!

We had a great time staying at Casa Lumina in Palm Beach Estate at Playa Grande!Great communication with Shawna the property manager who arranged our airport transfers and local rental car too.Short walk to the beach access, water taxi to Tamarindo, local restaurants are all highlights of staying here. The property pool is refreshing and the grounds are well maintained. We enjoyed the screened porch, and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you need.

It was so perfect. Everyone loves staying here. We will recommend to our friends and it is definitely our new favorite place in the Tamarindo area. We love to eating on the screened in back porch, and the barbecue and flat grill was perfect. Amazing murals & all the rooms/bathrooms were better than advertised. Large stocked kitchen. We had 8 adults & one small child & everyone hated to leave.

Our stay at Casa Kalumina with our children and grandchild was wonderful. The environment was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything needed to cook, including some spices. Our hosts were very responsive with any issue and suggestions. The large screened porch with a grill and large table for eating was an essential bonus for us as we spent much of our time there. The pool was perfect at the end of the day and the grounds are beautiful and well kept.The beach was a quick 5 minute walk and chairs were provided at the casa. We ate often at Cafe Mar Azul, a small outdoor restaurant with great food and a childrens menu and play area. We would highly recommend this property.

Lovely beach escape

Wonderful stay at this lovely property. It’s a short walk from the beach and has several food options/restaurants within walking distance as well. Several options to rent beach gear (including surfboards) also within walking distance. Shawna was exceptionally responsive, and she helped us book a wonderful horseback ride on another local beach. The pool was a nice break from the beach, and there was a lot of room for hanging out and relaxing at the end of the day. If you’re looking for a nice beach trip, this is a great choice to experience the Pura Vida culture of Costa Rica.

Great Spot for families

We stayed here with friends and family ages ranging from 2-14 and loved our time here. The screened in outdoor patio was great and there was a nice large table and grill.

Peaceful Oasis On The Beach

Loved the place! Loved the Neighborhood! Loved the Beach! This was a wonderful quiet little spot just steps from gorgeous Playa Grande. If you want the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo it's only a quick water taxi away but feels like another world here. Plenty of great places to eat and drink and things to do just steps away but secluded and peaceful if you just want to soak in the pool on a hot day. Catch the extraordinary sunset on the beach and then treat yourself to a fresh fat tuna steak at Cafe Mar Azul! A perfect day!

Simply paradise

The location is perfect, if your looking for a place that is remote yet close to all the perfect tiki huts and such, this is the place. Close to the town, yet separated by an estuary... water taxi a short walk away or a hike down the beach. My favorite part of the house is the cabana above the garage. Our kids took surfing lessons from the place next door, by the end of the afternoon they were fully surfing on their own, we did several excursions and had an awesome time. Will rent again and look forward to returning.

Great Beach House

We were 2 couples and 2 young kids. Had a great week in Playa Grande. Shawna and Jorge were extremely helpful. The house was beautiful and well-equipped. Only wish that there were some beach chairs and a portable umbrella for Playa Grande as there are no shady spots on the beach. Water taxi to town was convenient, however the last taxi is at 5 p.m. so if you either drive or take a taxi if you want to go into Tamarindo in the evening. Other amazing were beaches within a short drive. All in all, exactly what we were looking for.
