Enjoyable Casa Escondida

My family (4 adults) had an enjoyable stay at Casa Escondida in April 2024. The, 3 comfortable bedrooms, proximity to the beach, good weather, and quiet and peaceful environs were definite pluses. There were, however, several issues with the property that required property management to remedy and only partially; malfunctioning AC in master BR, moldy smell in master bath, slow shower drains, plugged kitchen sink, calcification on shower heads and small kitchen appliances (interior of coffee pot, hot water pot, dishwasher) (likely due to water hardness), broken refrigerator shelves, were disappointing and certainly not commensurate with comparable VRBO properties we've rented. Additionally, the swimming pool was unusable the first 2 days because of an algae bloom that Doug addressed. The Playa Grande location is beautiful, with miles of uncrowded beaches, lots of wildlife, very relaxing. Getting to Tamarindo, noisy, overcrowded and limited parking, was challenging and not worth it. Kristi, the property manager, is superb and promptly addressed our concerns and requests.

Fabulous Find!

We had a wonderful week at this great property! The house is spacious, comfortable, beautiful, well equipped. It is located SO close to a beautiful beach, a quick walk through the tree lined path. It only takes a minute to run back if you forget something! It was nice having a pool to ourselves also. Kristi and Doug were extremely helpful and responsive and had good contacts for activities and guides. The washer worked but the dryer was awaiting repair while we were there (there had been storms before our arrival that caused problems) so Kristi had someone pick up our clothes and towels, they dried them at a nearby property and returned them promptly. Very Accommodating! The waterfall hike (Nervin was our fabulous guide) was a highlight. There are good restaurants in the area, a short walk or drive. Restaurants we liked: Pots and Bowls, Kiki's, The Sugaree at the Grateful Hotel (live music evenings, walking distance), Gracia at Mar Vista has an infinity pool with a beautiful view where diners are invited to swim! You can eat on the patio and then take a dip or there's also a swim up bar. We definitely recommend this property and would return for sure!

Secluded Beach Front

My adult family & I enjoyed our first trip to Costa Rica August 2023, staying at Casa Escondindo in Playa Grande. The house is a two bedroom, two bath with a third room completely separated from the house but with easy access. The house is located on a secluded beach front property with beautiful landscaping. The private pool was refreshing after a long fun day on the beach. We purchased fresh snapper & shrimp from Frank’s fish truck. And enjoyed grilling together & dining and lounging on the patio. We especially loved watching all the monkeys just hanging out in the trees in the yard.

Magical

Absolute beauty! Perfect location…gorgeous property…..lovely house! The hosts, Kristi & Doug were sensational. Helpful with pre vacation arrangements for catamaran tour, massage (Ara) and our private driver (Alvaro). And only a call away if we needed anything. Every single person we met in Costa Rica was beyond nice. Incredibly pleasant and helpful. Can’t recommend this property enough. FYI…..checkout the “Grateful Hotel & Sugaree’s Bar & Grill”…..ask for Phil!! You won’t be disappointed.

Paradise in Playa Grande

The property was perfect in a perfect location. We woke up to a family of monkeys in the trees 3 mornings of our stay. We basically had our own private beach with just surfers and the occasional beach walkers. We enjoyed all the great restaurants in close walking distance to the house. The pool and grounds were immaculate. Doug and Kristi made sure our vacation was perfect and answered all our questions immediately. We couldn’t leave a review without mentioning the amazing surprise we had with Phil and Sugaree’s Bar & Grill at The Grateful Hotel. So cool. We already want to go back. Pura Vida !
