About the host
Hosted by Christine Allen
Traveled to Costa Rica in June 2003. I was impressed by the many different adventures in various diverse regions of the country. I decided to purchase in Playa Grande because I find this to be one of the most peaceful and beautiful spots in the world.
Why they chose this property
This property offers a comfortable, relaxing, private home, beachfront location. I love all the natural wood in the house, the sounds of native birds and the smell and sound of the salty ocean. All beaches in Costa Rica are public. Playa Grande offers a serene vacation environment off the tourist beach scene. We are one of only a few dozen homes located beachfront within the national park. I've had the opportunity to see turtles during turtles season which is pretty special.
What makes this property unique
Private gates, indigenous woods used throughout the home, pool. Shawna, our property manager will take care of our clients needs from airport pickups to and from the house, car rental, stocking the refrigerator with food and beverages before arrival, scheduling excursions, restaurant reservations, massages as well as surf lessons in front of the house and more. Contact Shawna for any needs or concerns and she will promptly respond. Memorable vacation experiences at the house has led many of our clients to return yearly knowing the staff, home and relaxation will be waiting for them.
Perfect for family reunions, girls and guys getaways, honeymoon, wedding, executive retreats, surfing vacations, etc. All ages will enjoy.
