Beautiful & magical property!

We had our small wedding here and it was truly magical! The property is gorgeous and is steps from the beach. Our family and friends had a wonderful experience. The host, Manfred, was very communicative and helpful throughout our planning process and we are very grateful.

Family getaway

Perfect size and setup for a family group of 7 adults and 5 kiddos. Great location - steps away from the beach and a quick walk to take the panga boats across the estuary into Tamarindo. Beautiful private pool. Hosts are super responsive for any issues. Make sure to bring cash if you are working with the hosts for groceries / meal prep (which is highly recommended - food was amazing!).

Wonderful private beach getaway

We loved our time at casa guayacan. The concierge was wonderful and helped us coordinate everything we needed with the personal chef (who we also loved) - and all staff was friendly and responsive. The place itself felt so private and the pool and space around it incredibly relaxing and safe, which was important with two kids under 3. Would definitely return!

Women's Retreat

I hosted a women's movement and healing retreat and this place was perfect!! It was super private and serene. Our house chef, Alcira and her mom cooked every meal for us and the food was incredible. Manfred, the home owner, was responsive to our every need before and during our stay. Highly recommend this beautiful and unique property and location.

Amazing location on fantastic beach

We brought 28 people to stay for fun and play and boy did this property not disappoint! We rented out both parts of the property- double the fun. The property was well kept, communication on WhatsApp with house manager and staff was seamless. The beach is private with little traffic, the softest sand and great waves to catch. The pools were fantastic and the houses and bungalows were perfect for our guests. Would stay at this location again.

Beautiful Property on Unique Amazing Location!

Absolutely gorgeous location! Beach feels almost private with great waves for surfing and boarding. House is great for big groups, staff is very supportive and responds quickly to all needs! Estuary is short walk and boat rides to Tamarindo are super easy! Living space is open air so it is warm but the bedrooms stay very cool and comfortable! Pool is awesome and grounds are well kept. Highly recommend this house!

Family Fun

A perfect location for a family vacation! We were a family if 9 adults and 9 children ages 3 to 13. We all loved the beach enjoying the shell hunting and playing in the waves. The sunsets were spectacular! The pool is large with plenty of room to play. We had breakfast and dinner prepared by Alcira and team. The food was great and so graciously prepared.

Wedding Weekend

The location and amenities were more than perfect for our wedding weekend, and everyone at the facility was incredibly helpful with little details such as water and electricity. Cabo Velas was truly a magical place for our big day! It was the perfect spot to show our family from the US what authentic Costa Rica is really like! No tourists crowding, no resorts - just beautiful nature and calm/secluded cabins and house! -Luis & Emily

Our host was very helpful and answered all our questions promptly. We loved the location. Quiet peaceful beach but close enough to enjoy Tamarindo and all it has to offer. The option to have a cook come in for meals was wonderful. Our concierge for the trip was also extremely helpful and was willing to go out of her way to accommodate any concerns we had. Our only complaints we had is the host raised the price after we booked which we felt was incredibly unfair as well as reduced the size of the areas we had access to due to construction so in the end we had to pay quite a bit more for less space. Unfortunately we were staying over Christmas break and all other properties that could accommodate a group of our size were booked by the time they informed us of the changes. Be that as it may we did find the space we had to be adequate.

Great Location

We rented both properties for our large group of 32 guests and had plenty of room for everyone. Manfred was great at answering my msg's before and during our trip. The chef service was wonderfully delicious. The only think I would change is adding more meals. The grounds staff was friendly and attentive. Honestly, I can't say enough about our stay. We would book this again.

Wonderful paradise

We have stayed in Palm beach for years we love that neighborhood. This home was everything we needed. It fit 3 families perfectly and private for everyone. The pool and outdoor area is perfect. The pool is huge and the landscape around it is gorgeous. The nice big table outdoors was perfect for big gatherings. We had a chef come and cook for us all and it was perfect. The whole compound would be fun to rent with all our friends. We will be back.

Awesome

There were 16 of us and we all had a blast. It is very secluded yet close enough to Playa Grande beach, and a short walk to cross over the estuary by small boats. Walking and boarding the boats are not for the physically impaired. The staff did their job and Alcira, our cook did a phenomenal job. Our concierge Alonso took care of all the small issues that can pop up.

Casa Guayacan at Playa Grande

Manfred and his team are so helpful and kind. They made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The recommendations were all great and the chef services were perfecto!. Anything that we needed was accessible right to the property. We could have stayed on the property the entire trip and we would have been comfortable and completely taken care of. The property is beautiful and the beach is amazing, with a surf break, sunsets and lightning storms to view from the second story spaces. Rainy season was enjoyable at Casa Guayacan. We hope to return someday.

Best Family Vacation

This is our second time at this amazing and beautiful property! We had 27 family members that enjoyed all of the bungalows and the beach house. I love where this property is located. Short walk to Tamarindo via the estuary crossing, and the quiet, tranquil beach life on Playa grande. The amazing and surprising thing we experienced this year is the new building on the south end of the property. A nice gorgeous pool setting and a central dining location with a yoga deck on top. Brand new! And we used it every day. So much fun! The communication with Manfred has always been very prompt, professional, and helpful. We always felt very safe and all our needs were met. If you want an authentic Costa Rica vibe to your vacation, book this place! I hope and wish that we will return.

Great spot for multi-generational family of 13

One of our favorite aspects was taking advantage of Alcira and her staff for cooking our meals. We had 7 breakfasts, 4 lunches and 7 dinners. All were delicious and special. We felt so pampered. Alcira and Mariella were like family! Staff were so attentive in cleaning every morning, and we had them do our laundry several times. The property is a bit rustic, but we were aware of this and were fine with it. (You will likely share your space with crabs and geckos. ) Owner, Manfred was immediately responsive via onsite staff for any questions, repairs, etc. Close by shops and restaurants available in Tamarindo via the water taxis (daylight hours). Walk up the beach to a nearby market and cafe in the Palm Beach neighborhood. Mandred hooked us up with Playa Grande Shuttles and Tours for airport transport and for many great excursions. We didn’t rent a car at all.

Perfect place to escape

This was our third visit to the property, but this was the first 4-night stay that we booked and organized for the occasion of my 50th birthday. We rented both sides of the property (bungalows and main guest house) for 36 friends and family. The process of booking and working with the team for meals and activities was seamless. Because we had so many guests, it was comforting to know that we had someone working with us to plan this event. We love it here. It’s familiar, calming and secluded, but not too far away from many restaurant and activity options. The new pool and indoor dining/kitchen area is an excellent addition to the property. However, it was a disappointment that the other pool and corresponding lofted patio were under construction and somewhat neglected due to the new area being open. We were happy to discover that the pool was still open and functioning, but the kitchen and patio was not usable by our large group of 36. The surprise did not diminish the fun, but it was an unwelcome discovery. Needless to say, we hope to be back. We’ve celebrated birthdays and a wedding here, so it’s a place that is very special to us. Thank you for your care and commitment to providing visitors with a wonderful place to escape!

Private beach, perfect layout

Our group of 10 had an amazing week in this beautiful home! The layout with each bedroom having it's own bathroom was great. There were multiple areas to lounge around and relax outside of the bedrooms as well. Nothing can beat the private path that is literally steps to the beach and an excellent surf break. As some of our group surfed, others watched them from the comfort of the 2nd story lounge area. The pool is huge and the covered portion was nice when we had too much sun. We had Alcira cook breakfast each day and dinner for a couple of the nights. If we could do it again, we'd have her make dinner every night. She made the most amazing meals and was one of my personal highlights of the trip. Beautiful platters of fresh fruit every morning, perfectly made eggs, the most delicious rice and beans. It was amazing food and so much easier having her team do the shopping, cooking and cleaning. Sher helped us with our excursions which was nice too. We went fishing and took a morning catamaran tour with Panache.The only cons to the house were the yoga platform was not open during our stay. There is no dishwasher in the home or access to a washer and dryer. You will pay 10 a bag to have laundry done for you. Not a big deal, but good to know upfront. Overall, I would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Playa Grande. You will not be disappointed!

An Amazing Week At The Beach

We spent a week here with our family and one other, a total of ten people (six kids) but the property could easily have accommodated double. Here are the pros and cons you should know: Pros: Great location right on a basically private beach that’s walking distance to Tamarindo The team is extraordinary and so responsive and will take care of all your needs. We signed up for full-day chef and kitchen services with Alcira which I highly recommend When we had issues they were resolved quickly Playa grande is a quaint little town with some sweet restaurants and shops Cons: Common areas don’t have AC in this house which essentially rendered them unusable for us The fridge was broken the first two days and while it was replaced this was not fun The water was turned off on the last day for 3 hours — apparently this is something that happens but it caught us off guard The pool is in front of the house and somewhat separate from the common areas and had a beehive in the portico which made it tough for us to use There are raccoons at night so it was challenging for our kids to get upstairs to their rooms since the staircase is on the outside of the house Getting to playa grande shops is a 15 min drive and to Tamarindo is 45 min (even though it’s a 10 min walk). Despite the cons, the house and staff are lovely and the beach is stellar. If they put AC in the common areas that alone would have made it a 5 star house despite the other challenges we had.
