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!
This vacation home's great beach location gets high marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Grande Beach. An outdoor pool, breakfast (surcharge), and concierge services are available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a private pool in the vacation home.

Cheaper than Therapy 2024
This house was great for 5 friends to get away for 10 days. We had a lot of rain, so surfaces were slippery, take care when feet are wet on ANY tile surface. The house Manager Shawna was wonderful, we were able to reach her in an instant. Shawna organized rides, massages, and even had someone come and dispose of a rather large living cucaracha in one of the showers. (note that the cucaracha was not injured during his eviction, just relocated...same as the spiders) The massage was incredible by the way...ask Shawna to organize at the house. The walk to the beach/ocean was right across from the house and a very short walk. You can walk down the beach toward Tamarindo and catch a small boat across the river for some shopping or cocktails. We had a great meal and margaritas at Pico, highly recommend. Next door we had a great little place called Cafe Mar where we met Grace who fed us almost daily. A bit further down the street you will find Hotel Cantarana, great food and great staff. Tell Mario that the girls from Canada sent you! Long and short is that you will love this rental and the proximity to everything you need...ENJOY!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

family tropical celebration
We traveled to Costa Rica to celebrate my husband's 70th with our kids and grandkids. The 10 of us ages 70-7 had the time of our lives. Casa Amigos was everything we'd hoped it would be and more. The location right across from the beach access was perfect. The house had plenty of room for 10 people with a pingpong and foosball table for everyone's entertainment. But the best part of the house was the backyard. The setting was beautiful. Between the pool, lounges, cabana and large table you felt like you never needed to leave the house. But leave you must to enjoy the rest of this tropical paradise. There are 3-4 cafe'/bars in Palm Beach Estates within 10min walk. Our favorite though was right next door Cafe'Mar Azul...the food , drinks and service were fantastic . I would recommend renting bikes ( Shawna can help with that ). Our family rode bikes around Palm Beach Estates but we also rode to Playa Grande to the fresh fruit and veggie market. (15-20min ride). Though I think my group liked the brewery next door to the market almost as much as the fruit and veggies. Last but definitely not least was Shawna our amazing concierge. Not only did she help with booking our excursions and shuttles, she was available to help with anything else we wanted or needed while we were there. We couldn't have done it without her !!!! If you're looking for a a warm, beautiful, inviting and fun place to stay in Costa Rica Casa Amigos is the place to 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Stay - Pura Vida!
We had a fabulous time! The casa was wonderful and perfect for three family friends wanting to celebrate a 50th birthday and two high school graduations. The home has five ensuite bedrooms with one suite upstairs. One has a bunk bed and queen bed w/bath. For three families with eight teens it worked perfectly for our vacation! The home is very comfortable with AC during a hot, rainy and very humid season. Pool was great and perfectly heated. Beach is extremely close and safe just across the dirt road. The whole area is gated with a guard station. We felt comfortable walking to dining at night. The size of the place is not huge, est under 3K sf but the layout worked perfectly for our needs. Shawna is awesome and very quick with communication. She helped setup the tours, transfers and transportation to and from the activities. I would reco using Shawna and her team to schedule activities versus going through an online sites. It costs a bit more but it's full service with transportation and your own driver for the day. Most of the activities (Guachepelin and Rio Celeste) were about 2+ hour drive from the casa. They were completely worth it! The drivers were accommodating if you needed to add additional stops (ATM, grocery market, food pick-up, etc.). All-in-all we all had a great first visit to Costa Rica! We will be back!

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!!

Don’t Wait!!!
Casa Amigos was absolutely perfect! We had a large groups with 6 adults and 3 teenagers. The house was spotless, stocked, spacious enough for everyone, the backyard was just the right vibe for relaxing and the location of the house couldn’t have been better! A super short walk out to the beach and right next door to Cafe Azul! Which lets put this out there right now, Cafe Azul’s food was spot on every single time! Not to mention friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Oh and happy hour everyday! We ate there at least 4 times :-) Also the Grateful Hotel had some amazing Ahi Tuna and mango margaritas:-) Surf lessons for the teens were a huge hit as well as renting surf boards and bikes. My only lesson learned is stop at the grocery store in Liberia on your way in! There is a store in Tamarindo and in the neighborhood, but as expected they are super pricey and might not have what you need. We got what we needed, just paid a little more. Scott the owner was incredibly friendly and was easy to communicate with from the beginning. One of the biggest pluses of this house was getting to work with Shawna and Jorge. Shawn worked with me for months and we had a large group which means changing plans. She was so patient and helpful and we couldn’t have done this trip without her. She stopped by during the week to check on us and even brought by a fruit that a member of our group had been searching for all week! My kids are already planning our return!!!
