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!

Great & Relaxing Family Vacation

The process of check in, arranging excursions and the owner calling me to talk through a couple questions I had prior to arrival in Costa Rica was Great! Very personable owner, Scott and Manager, Shawna. The home is as it looks on the listing. We had such an easy 2 minute walk to the ocean and playing on the boogie boards. THANK YOU for renting your home and making it a comfortable place to stay!

Amazing!

Great location, amazing property & everything is very well thought & appointed. The house is about an hr ride from the Liberia airport, the beach is a short walk across the street, & there is a great little, affordable, delicious restaurant beside it. All you need for an amazing stay! The house has filtered water, ice maker, great AC, all the things you need for the beach, and the backyard with pool is a delight. Do not hesitate to book this property. We will be back!

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!

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!

Excellent stay

We had a great stay in Playa Grande and would definitely return to stay again. The communication with the owners and the house manager were excellent throughout the process. The pictures are accurate and the space is great. We were very comfortable. Having the beach about 50 yards away was awesome and the pool got used a lot too. Shawna, the local manager, was extremely helpful in arranging a cooked meal in the house and local excursions. The walk down the beach and using the water taxi to get to Tamarindo was so easy. Casa Amigos is highly recommended and we hope to make it back soon. Pura Vida!

Check out and Check in

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.

Awesome beach house for big families

Great property. 1 minute walk to beautiful Playa Grande beach. Great local restaurants within a 5 minute walk. This place was plenty big enough for our multi generational family group. They had everything you would need for a beach vacation. Easy boat taxi to Tamarindo. Saw Howler Monkeys in neighborhood. Host was great. Only drawback to property was the rough road into the neighborhood from the town of Playa Grande. We had an AWD SUV, but others in our group had a car. Highly recommend getting an SUV to make the driving around easier. Would definitely stay here again.

House was amazing, updated, comfortable, full amenities, great location with access to the beach right across the street. Quiet neighborhood. Convenient restaurants within short walking distance. Malinches was our favorite. El Huerto in upper Grande has great pizza also. Backyard area and pool awesome. We had a little bad luck with the weather but made the best of those days. Scott was very helpful with information and made sure he made himself available to us. Shawna was great checking us in and giving us good overview. Would recommend this property to any group or large family. Great trip!

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.

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.

Even better than the pictures online !!

Pictures posted online were true but actually better In person. The place has many wonderful attributes to the way the place is planned out having a general living area, wonderful outside area which was very roomy and the bedrooms with attached bathrooms were wonderful. It is close to the beach and they had all the boogie boards, beach chairs, toys for the pool that can be offered. Like where there were options to insure sand was off your feet so as not to get it in the house. Everything you could ever ask for and appreciated the ability to have food stocked for our arrival even though we did purchase groceries ini Liberia as there is not a fully stocked market close by. We had a chef prepare a special dinner for our dual birthday events we had which was wonderful. Communication with the owner and property manager was a total asset and appreciated. There is a cafe 2 doors down from the residence which was a nice break. I would suggest buying a sufficient amount of suntan lotion before getting there ... and I had read in one review that there were mosquitos and noseeums which we did not have a problem with at all. However we did have quite a few flying grasshoppers which are beautiful but big and scary!! The beach was very nice and really quite private. Highly recommend this wonderful accommodation!!

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.

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!
