Unfortunately we go super small waves the entire trip, but there is NO Denying that the people, culture, beach, and all around vibe of CR and Playa Grande is awesome. Too bad more of US and the places we visit aren't this killer! I want to thank whoever made this trip possible and wish the next group better surf. Hope to be back soon and retain the mellow state of mind accomplished at this crib. Looking forward to a return for some "therapy."

Hi everybody! We had so much fun surfing, resting, relaxing, and eating! The food was delicious and the maids cleaned awesome! We always had something to do whether it was laying in the hammocks, or chasing around our little cousin! Adios.

Hey! Costa Rica has been a blast! This Casa Mirage house is awesome! It is my 4th time in Costa Rica because we come down every Christmas! We got to see a huge sea turtle for the first time, but got ran off by the turtle people! We hope future guests have a blast. Pura Vida.

We also found paradise here! Unfortunately only for a few days.. because we were on a round trip through the country. As we have found it at other places in the world (Asaia, Africa, and sometime Australia, too.) you only find it at places not yet too "developed". that means with nature not yet destroyed... so let us all thin about activities which results they will have. I hope this place here will keep it's beauty and peace for a long time!! We already regret having to return to Germany soon in winter with snow and ice, temperatures below 0. So you who follow us Enjoy!! Enjoy 'Pura Vida'

Wow, this week in Casa Mirage was awesome from the buenos olas of the day to the good night it was a shining day with great boogie boarding waves. I had a super time.

One week in Playa Grande and I'm close to pro. There's not a wave I can't conquer. Playa Grande was a blast, got to see some old friends and meet some new ones. Thanks for the board. Charlie, Michelle, Paul, Marcy, Mike, Brian, Gary, Lindsey.

Yet again, another stellar Costa trip- this time with both good friends and family. After many awesome trips to this "Rich Coast" we still call Costa Rica a second home. How perfect life would be in America if we all lived 'pura vida'!

My 4th trip to Casa Mirage and Costa Rica. This house is always the great getaway and my most relaxing trip of the year. I caught my 1st barrel in 3-4' surf and rescued 5 baby leatherback turtles from an osprey. Brought 4 newbies with the group and totally enjoyed everything about this trip. Thanx.

Wow, it's so great to be here. Costa Rica, I never thought I would come to a great place like this. I love the weather, the people, the surf, it's kickass. It's the second day and I feel like I've been here for 2 weeks. I don't want to go home. This has bee the most fun ever. I don't think I'm going to go home. I wish I could stay here forever. I hope everybody has a great time.

Have been here since January 1. Costa Rica is beautiful. We got the opportunity of a lifetime. Our group helped save a baby leatherback turtle from being eaten by birds. We set them lose at sunset and watched the 10 survivors make there way to the water. We laughed, lived and loved.

This place kicks ass. I am from San Franciscso where I surf every weekend and the water is cold as hell and the waves are not big. But here the water is great and waves are nice. I am not sure what the date is and I don't give a ____. Pura Vida.

We feel blessed to have found such an enchanting corner of CR and had a comfortable stay in this home. Having an uncrowded 'Break' outfront didn't hurt. Thank you owners for opening up your wonderful home for us to share= We hope to be back next year!

Today is our last day and all I can say is it's sad to leave such a beautiful place. Our time was relaxed, wonderful, and the people of this country are among the best in the world. , They may not have much but they are so wealthy with their hospitality, friendliness, generosity, acceptance, beautiful country and beautiful people. May Costa Rica stay the same. Muchos Gracias.

As I sit, watching the livest crew trickle in from the rabid waves and palling sun, I am struck by the seeming brevity of this trip. The first two days seemed as if they would never end. By midweek, the time was disappearing faster than a quarter in a Charlestonian beggar's hand, faster than Frodo wearing the Ring of Power, faster than... well, just plain fast. The hipiest crew, the sickiest location, the sweetest Guaro, the trip of a lifetime. As we prepared to re-enter the hectic life of Charleston, I can only pray that I will have another change like this again. You know what Jack Burton always says at a time like this? O'l Jack says "Aw, what the helll." Truly this is the Rich Coast.

It's around 11:30 am and I have been awake for 6 hours. The morning greeted us with calm and small surf. The coastline is so amazing here in the Playa Grande vicinity and whenever the waves go flat, it is impossible to be disatisfied with where you are. The hilly dry terrain of March is breathtaking, the seabreeze is always across your face and there isn't even the thought of the states. Miles away what seems like galaxies, the US is busy pumping out its new dollar while we sit in ponderance over the natural beauty of our world- and simply enjoy eachother's company. I thank you for allowing me to rest in this paradise for a little while and I thank you for providing me with the opportunity to see life in Costa Rica.
