Location: Playa Grande, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Central America (45 Minutes from International Airport of Liberia, Costa Rica)
Accommodations: Beach Bungalow, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-5)
Our house, Casa Charly 3, is one of 6 bungalows surrounding a beautiful pool and garden. It is a five minute walk to the beach through a green zone. Ocean waves can be heard with occasional howler monkeys in nearby trees.
The beach is totally unspoiled since it is in a national park which protects leatherback turtles. Walking along the beach you feel you are in a wilderness since no hotels or houses can be seen except at a distance on a nearby beach. At night the beach is totally dark except for the stars and moon.
So you can walk on the beach, swim or surf and then walk to our house and cool off in the pool before you do what ever comes next. And there is a great restaurant, the Great Waltini's, a block away that is reasonably priced by US standards (like Fridays or Applebees). It is a great place to meet other friendly tourists and locals.
If you have a bigger group, you can rent out one or more of the other 5 bungalows for a memorable trip.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
My wife and I bought this home for vacations and future retirements. She is a Spanish High School teacher and I own and operate a Language School in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Why the Owner Chose Playa Grande
We choose Playa Grande because it is a tranquil beach but still offers excellent restaurants, surf schools and is next to Tamarindo which has everything a tourist could want including a driving range, reggae bar, night clubs and more.
The Unique Benefits of this Beach Bungalow
Walking on the beach and not seeing houses or hotels is truly a dream come true and very rare in today´s world. It is located in a national park. Also the locals are so friendly you feel at home from the start.
