Description from the owner
Playa Grande Casitas is a very tranquil property that's great for families, couples and groups.

Georgetown, NSW, AUSTRALIAAwesome
Left on 04/12/2013 for a stay in March 2013
We would highly recommend Playa Grande Casitas (or otherwise known in Playa Grande as 'Roger's Place'). We vacationed with our family having flown from australia for a month. We rented the main house and three casitas. With us we had three boys in their early 20's, two teenagers and our two daughters travelling with their partners. We hired a car from Tamarindo although you can get around just as easy with the help of the amazing staff at Bula Bula restaurant just around the corner, they were able to assist with taxis, including phoning for a water taxi to Tamarindo which leaves just across the way from the restaurant, or people movers or a bus if needed. Remember to ask for Todd, and remind him of the aussies that he took care of in March 2013.
Manfred was wonderful and welcoming. No matter where we visited we were always excited about returning 'home' as this is what we started calling it. Relaxing, private and near enough to party-life (as required by the younger gen). The birds, monkeys & other wildlife were spectacular, the surf was great with no crowding on the beaches.
I can't say enough about the staff at the casitas, they did a wonderful job tidying up after all the young ppl. Just writing this is making me yearn for a return visit.
All I can say is go go go, stay, stay,stay.
What a wonderful experience. Thank you Roger and Manfred and the warm, friendly Ticos & Ticas of Costa Rica. -

ConnecticutGreat place for quality family time
Left on 02/12/2013 for a stay in January 2013
We had a great time during our stay at the Playa Grande Casitas! Located in the heart of the Playa Grande Estates, we found it to be perfect. We were a 3-minute walk from our favorite restaurant there, The Great Waltinis and about a 7-minute walk away from the beach. The surf break my husband so desired was a bit further, but he really enjoyed walking it in the morning and being able to hear/see all the wildlife! We stayed in the one-bedroom apartment with our two year old son and had plenty of room. My parents stayed in a studio and we would converge on our patio or in our kitchen most of the time. It worked out perfectly, because we had the privacy of our own place, but a wonderful and large space to share our time together;)
The only negative I can elaborate on is that the kitchen was lacking in basic cooking utensils such as scissors, more than one knife, garlic press, etc. However, I am sure this is something they could have taken care of if I had remembered to bring it to the attention of Manfred when I saw him.
Manfred was always able to help us out with whatever we needed. On one occasion we could not get the grill to work so we called the number provided and spoke to his wife who said he would be there to help as soon as he got back from SaN Juan!! Even after such a long day, he came straight there and set us up! He also offered a bakery delivery service every other day where he'd pick up certain delicacies and deliver them to the casitas. Wow!

Left on 09/17/2012 for a stay in February 2012
We stayed at Playa Grande casitas tree weeks with my sister and our husbands plus their little girl aged of 11. We just fell in love right away with the place. It's beautiful, juste like the pictures, the lawn, the pool, all those comfy chairs, the balcony, everything! My sister, her husband and their daughter stayed in the appartment and the two of us had a little studio, so we could shared the big, well equiped kitchen in the appartment.
There is a little convenient store (5 min. walk) where you can find some things to eat but we really enjoyed to take the taxi-boat (3 min. walk to take it at the Bula Bula hotel) to go to Tamarindo for the groceries once a week. And just so you know, we did'nt drive a car for tree weeks there! We came from Liberia airport with Tamarindo Shuttle and we just stayed at the casitas, pure moments of relaxation and happiness! We juste loved it! Oh, and I forgot to tell you: full Wi-Fi!!! Thanks to Roger and Manfred, all I wish is to go back some day, and for sure I will. If I had to add a negative point, is that I would add loads of hooks everywhere to hang our bathing suit and towels, cause it will damage all the nice wooden furnitures.

We are experiencing serious post trip withdrawal, which means we had a really great time in Costa Rica! Manfred and the casitas are a winning combination. Our group of 4 had a 1 bedroom apartment and a studio, and we were very pleased with both. The value is excellent. The rooms are just as described, if not better. The fresh wood smell is one thing you can not see in the pictures. Clean and comfortable, well equipped, safe, great location... etc. The pool is always sparkling clean and refreshing and the beach is a short walk away. The casitas are in the Palm Beach estates more towards the south end of playa grande which has a less crowded surf break, and is walkable to the main break of playa grande, or even the tamarindo rivermouth. Manfred and his wife are great people and provided instant assistance with anything we needed... not to mention fresh baked bread one morning, and a beautiful dinner on our last night. Can't say enough, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend!

Philadelphia, PAPlaya Grande Casitas - Charming and Comfortable
Left on 01/23/2012 for a stay in November 2011
We traveled Costa Rica quite a bit during our 3 week vacation. Playa Grande Casitas was one of the the most charming, comfortable and affordable accommodations we found. We stayed in the upper one bedroom apartment and spent most mornings relaxing on the veranda, enjoying our coffee with the Howler Monkeys that frequented the Guanacaste trees. The nice thing about this property is that it is nestled in a national park so there are plenty of birds and wildlife. After travelling to many parts of the country it was a welcome escape from the hustle, bustle and dusty roads of the busier tourism areasm and if you've ever travelled Costa Rica, you'll know how wonderful it is to have a hot shower, clean accommodations and the homey feeling, not offered by hotels. The walk-in shower at Playa Grande Casitas is wonderful!
The property owner was extremely helpful with answering our questions and Manfred, the property manager, made us feel very welcome and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable. The pool was a delight and always sparkling clean. And the grounds were very well kept and beautifully landscaped.
We loved the fact that just a short walk down the dirt road were two quaint little restaurants and a nearby little grocery store so we could get some supplies whenever we needed to, without having to use the car.
Besides the security system at the casitas there are security guards from dusk to dawn at Palm Beach Estates, which made us feel very safe, especially heading home at night. We left the interior lights in our vehicle on one night and they came to find us to let us know.
I'm so glad we found this property. We'll definitely be returning again next year.
