Love this place! Will be going back in the future!

Everything is as listed on the website (and even better in-person). Five star experience - highly recommended. Very happy with Dee (the owner). Her communication is exceptional and very pleased with her engagement. She is a great VRBO host. Magda (on-site maid/house keeper) is a sweetheart. We enjoyed talking with her every day and appreciate her assistance on-site The property is perfect. We are five close friends who travel on trips together. The surf right outside was perfect. Plus, a short walk to the Taco Star, The Beach Club, and The Onda hotel all worked perfectly. Playa Grande is a slice of heaven. The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning was good, the kitchen is very spacious, and the entire house could not have been better. Plus the views from inside as well as sitting on the covered patio overlooking the ocean was perfect. We enjoyed the walk to the big volcanic rock down the beach on the right. It's a fun spot to climb and catch a sunset or view. We would stay here again. Zero complaints, wonderful property and the people made a significant impact too. Major kudos to Dee (owner) and Magda (on-site contact). It was our first trip to Costa Rica and it could not have gone better. Pura Vida!

Property was clean and we enjoyed our stay!

Perfect location. The house was very comfortable and roomy with plenty of areas to enjoy the beautiful view

We had a great stay at Casa Blanca. Playa Grande is a beautiful white sand beach that provides perfect waves for surfing, boogie boarding, long walks and amazing sunsets! If you are lucky you might see a turtle on the beach. This house is perfect for three couples that enjoy air conditioned rooms. Each bedroom is very spacious and have their own full bathroom and huge king sized beds. The loft over the family room has a double bed and another bathroom but no air conditioning. It was warm up there for sleeping so our daughter slept on the couch which was comfortable for sleeping as well. The caretaker, Magda, lives onsite and she cleans everyday, provides fresh towels, and makes the beds. She does a fantastic job. She doesn’t speak much English so be aware of the language barrier. There weren’t any spices except salt, no plastic wrap or aluminum foil or anything like that. This was consistent with previous reviews that we had read. We didn’t find any toys for the beach (balls, frisbees, etc.) so be sure to bring your own if you wish. Our only suggestion would be to have some hooks on the patio to hang wet towels or suits. The sunsets every night right from the house patio were amazing. Overall the house was perfect and we will definitely stay here again if we return to Playa Grande. Thank you Deidre!!

The property is literally right on the beach! The Playa Grande community was perfect for our family vacation from the winter and cold! Dee was always available for quick answers to any questions I had. Magda was on-site while she speaks little English she’s a very kind, hardworking person who worked hard to make sure we had what we needed. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. The only item we borrowed from a family member’s property was their crockpot which was handy to throw something into the pot and then have a warm dinner ready whenever we got home from the day’s playing. All the beds in the main bedrooms are comfortable, but the two hide away beds in the living rooms were a little skinny on padding (they always are!). We were able to remedy this by taking the pass off the lounge chairs - easy fix! The only recommendation I’d have is for there to be a deep clean of the whole property. It’s clear that Magda does a great job keeping a clean house - there were just areas of the home that needed a tad more attention. Overall, we were exceptionally pleased with the house, the location, and the service. We’d go back in a heartbeat and are going to cherish the memories made on this trip! Thanks Dee!!

It’s was our fourth time in Costa Rica and it was the most beautiful villa that we rent. Everything was perfect! The location, directly on the beach, the villa was beautiful( the pictures don’t do it justice), it was very well equiped and Magda came each day to clean it. We loved to enjoy the beach, the tranquility of Playa Grande and the kindness of the people. The communication with the owner was very easy. We hope we will be able to return soon and envoy this beautiful place!

We LOVED our stay at Playa Grande! Perfect for us and our 4 kids ages 15-21. Such a rare experience to be ON a beach with only a few other houses, a great surf break right in front of us, and a comfortable roomy home. My favorite part of the stay was lounging on the couch while watching my boys surfing out the window! The home is very spacious, room for all to stretch out, great AC, big dining table, nice game table (bring your own puzzles or games). The patio is perfect for being on the beach but out of the sun (or in our case, the rain....we had bad luck with a rare tropical storm during our stay, but it was the perfect place to be nonetheless). We liked the quietness of Playa Grande, beautiful for long walks. We did drive to Tamorindo one evening and we were so happy to return to Playa Grande! There are a few restaurants in town and some small markets. The best was being able to walk a couple hundred yards south on the beach for breakfast at Hotel Las Tortugas and lunch at Taco Star stand. This isn't the home for you if you are a clean freak, it could use a deep cleaning, but it's a beach house, and we overlooked that for the positives. The caretaker Magda is lovely and we enjoyed the luxury of her coming every day to tidy up. Most of the other rentals at Playa Grande are a walk to the beach and you just can't overstate the value of being ON the beach. We want to go back!!

We absolutely loved it here! The house was perfect. The maid service was so convenient. We are already planning our next trip and will definitely stay here again!

This is an incredible (very large) house, with every amenity you could possibly need. Even better, the location is amazing. The house is ON the beach, and tucked away in a quiet area with an uninterrupted view of the ocean. We loved our stay and would definitely come back.

One of the few reasonably priced locations on the beach but be aware that it is a public beach so not much privacy. Home was spacious with a nice view of the ocean but not much hot water for showering. Lukewarm if only one person taking a shower at one time.

Amazing location, great proximity to local restaurants and activities. Easy check in with Magda. House was clean and had all necessary conveniences. Be aware of water rationing. Was not a big deal as water returned within a couple hours. Turtle nest on beach north of house. Great beach for walking. All and all a wonderful stay!

A house that allows you to see the beach and hear the ocean from the ktichen or watching tv. The house is very spacious and comfortable. Just a few steps and you can feel the white sand on your feet. One of the best vacations my family and I enjoyed. Recomended for families and big groups. Magda is very kind.

Beautiful home on an uncrowded beach, a short walk from restaurants.

We had a beautiful stay (5 adults and two young kids). The house is on one of costa rica ´s best beaches. It is very spacious (more than pics let one think), functional, and comfortable. It is relatively old but in good shape. The outdoor shower is great when one comes back from the beach. The kitchen is well-stocked. Communication with the owner is very smooth. We will come back!

There is so much to do in Costa Rica, but the beach out the back door of this property is so fantastic you almost never leave. Sunsets and surfing were fantastic.

Gorgeous beach near Tamarindo. not crowded and near national park. Home is large and lovely.

I have enjoyed multiple stays at Casa Blanca and I plan on returning soon. The house is very roomy and is equipped with everything you need. If you like to surf the main break at Playa Grande is just to the south and there are many days when the surf is good right in front of the house. Magda is very helpful and there are restaurants and a little store close by. Casa Blanca is a great place to unwind and enjoy the beach.

This house was absolutely perfect! It is right on the beach with gorgeous sunsets right from the porch!!!!! There is a lady that lives on site that cleans the house every day and makes your bed. She knew a chef in town that cooked meals for us each night $80 + cost of food for 10 people. It was awesome! The house has 3 full bedrooms and 2 open loft rooms, with no doors. It also has 2 pull out couches. It has a huge living room / dinning room area. The surfing was right out front, amazing surfing, some of the best in Costa Rica. We rented boards for the week from the guy down the beach at the hotel. The host was so nice and easy to communicate with. I can't wait to come back!!!!

We had a lovely stay at Casa Blanca. Thanks to Deirdre and her great comunication. Magda the helping lady had the place in great condition every day. Very happy and would love to visit the house again.
