About this property

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 location, great beach. Close to the Witches Rock area by water taxi for a couple bucks otherwise it’s a 45 min. drive. We prefer to be at Playa Grande as it far more quiet, safe, has everything you need even in low season. Lots of great restaurants by foot or auto. Just a great place to hang out and relax.

Playa Grande

The house was very nice, clean, and extremely well appointed. The pool was warm, and the A/C was a blessing. It's very close to the beach, and is well secured for safety. Two way communication with the owner and property manager was easy and responsive.

Paradise in Playa Grande

Casa Amigos as quite simply one of the best vacation rentals we have ever had! Let me list out why. 1. The owner Scott was very flexible with us while making the reservation. 2. Shawna the property manager made planning our trip (groceries, excursions, private chef) incredibly easy. 3. Location: the house is located literally steps away from a pristine beach that was never crowded, also about 50 yards from a great little restaurant Cafe Azul Mar. 4. The house was well apportioned with everything you could need in the kitchen as well as beach towels, chairs and boogie boards. 5. The house is exactly as described and looks just like the pictures, the backyard with pool is a beautiful oasis. What an incredible place. We highly recommend Casa Amigos!

Casa Amigos is the REAL DEAL

Four siblings and their spouses have been making annual winter vacation trips to Costa Rica for five-years and we all agreed that this property is the best one so far. The house is in very good condition and well maintained. Shawna, the host, was very responsive to all our needs, stocking shelves and refrigerator with items pre-ordered in advance of our arrival. The beds were all very comfortable and there is plenty of comfortable seating, both in the house and around the pool. There are four quality restaurants within easy walking distance from the house and a water taxi provides easy access to shopping and restaurants in Tamarindo. We have already booked our stay for next year! We highly recommend Casa Amigo.

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!

Amazing getaway with friends!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful property in Costa Rica! The house was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. All the amenities you could possibly need were thoughtfully provided, right down to a lemon squeezer. The bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms were excellent, providing plenty of comfort and privacy.The transportation was seamless and made getting around stress-free. Shawna, the house manager is amazing! She took care of organizing our transportation, and groceries for our arrival.The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, which made our days even more enjoyable. We especially loved the outdoor space; the backyard and pool area were a highlight, offering a great space to relax and unwind.Quick stroll down the beach to grab a water taxi to Tamarindo (until 4:30 pm) we booked the same transportation company that picked us up from the airport to pick us up in tamarindo at the end of the night, and they were awesome!Overall, this is a stunning property, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and hope to be back!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
