Beachfront House, Pool, Poolside Yoga Lounge Amidst a 70 Acre Forest
Experienced the feeling of unbound freedom and tranquilityw at CASA GUAYACAN . COSTA RICA, where we have blended the designs of nature with relaxed comfort, simplicity and beauty. Unlike any other in its category, CASA GUAYACAN is a beachfront property surrounded by acres of pristine forest facing the breaking surf of Costa Rica’s Pacific Ocean. CASA GUAYACAN is a beachfront two-story house with a spectacular swimming pool, poolside grill and dining area. CASA GUAYACAN sleeps up to 16 guests.
Distribution is as follows:
At ground level are the fully-equipped kitchen with pantry, dining and living area and two spacious master suites (sleep up to 3/p each).

The beachfront garden has a covered area with chaises and hammocks and direct access to the beach. All 6 bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, a/c.
The magnificent swimming pool is at the heart of the amenities area, grill and lounge.

Quiet Spot on the Beach
Nice quiet area close to Tamarindo via water taxi. The house is large and well spaced out for a large group. Some small repairs and paint is needed in some rooms as well as some new sheets for beds. Blankets would have been nice as several of us got cold at night but we just learned to adjust the AC when we went to bed. Owner provides hand soap at sinks and a bar soap for showers so bring shampoo and conditioner. There is no iron or hairdryers. Stand alone fans would have been nice in the common areas as it does get hot inside. There is a TV that our teens used to hookup their video games. Onsite staff is wonderful and very accomodating. Brought us clean towels, washed our laundry for a small fee and were even willing to go grocery shopping for us. Cook was amazing. We had breakfast every morning, a few dinners and she even cooked the fish we caught while sports fishing. Owner was very responsive when we had questions. There are 4 restaurant/bars in Playa Grande that are 15-20min walking distance from house. All were great. In addition, there were also inexpensive surf lessons and yoga classes in this same area. Ask about them at the hostel. A 40min walk along the beach will take you to the heart of Playa Grande where there's more bars/restaurants and breweries. Do take advantage of the shuttle/tour company the owner recommends. We used them a lot and the vans, drivers, and tours were all fantastic -always arriving on time with a cooler full of beer, water and other drinks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
