We absolutely loved our time at Casa Pelicano! The house was comfortable and had everything we needed and more. We really appreciated the boards and wagon they provided for the beach, and the pool floaties. Hazel was very responsive, helpful, and friendly. They have a great guide book for the house, neighborhood, and surrounding areas that helped us make the most of our time in Playa Grande and the rest of our trip. Everything about our stay here was amazing, and I hope we get the chance to come back.

This beautiful, clean home and surrounding gardens had it ALL! The kitchen was very well stocked with just about everything anyone would need. We loved having a warm pool and gas grill, too. Kim and Hazel were both quick to respond to any of our requests or questions. We LOVED using the boogie boards every day as well as bringing the chairs down to eat dinner during the sunsets. 5 stars and then some! EXCELLENT accommodations. We will be back!

Our family loved Casa Pelicano. Hazel and Kim are thoughtful, warm, inviting hosts with a beautiful, clean home, minutes from the ocean. It is fully stocked for indoor and outdoor cooking, lots of extras (bikes, surf boards, boogie boards, floaties, hammock), private pool, gorgeous gardens and original art throughout. There are a number of great restaurants in walking distance. We discovered Pura Vida on our first visit to Costa Rica. Early morning walks on a wide open beach, stunning sunsets every evening. We would come back and stay here again. Highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Pelicano. It is a beautiful house just steps from Playa Grande beach. The kitchen is fully stocked and two bathrooms were ideal for our family of five. We loved having a pool to use when it was too hot for the beach. We also appreciated the use of the sun tent, beach chairs and surf boards. Hazel and Kim were great hosts and available to answer any questions. We would love to visit again and highly recommend to others.

Picture this: you wake up and grab a boogie board and towel, and head to beach, less than 4 minute walk away. You spend all morning at the beach, then take a short path back to this beautiful home, and make yourself a cup of coffee before diving into the gorgeous pool. The gate doorbell rings; it’s the bakery truck swinging by to see if you want any fresh cinnamon rolls or freshly made sourdough bread. Then, you look up and spot a howler monkey lounging in the trees. You and the kids play all afternoon and then walk to dinner at one of the open air restaurants just down the street, where the food is fresh and delicious! This place is incredible. We had such a wonderful stay and we would love to come back!

The place has everything you need. The yard and pool area was so lush and beautiful. Felt like we were in our own tropical oasis. Beach is so close. We also did the long walk on the beach to the water taxi to go to Tamarindo. It’s literally a 30 second ride to get you over the river. A couple restaurants close by to walk to. Would highly recommend for a family or two couples.

Costa Rica Getaway

We had an amazing stay at this Casa Pelicano in Costa Rica! The location couldn’t be better — just steps from a beautiful, quiet beach and nestled in a wonderful, safe neighborhood. The accommodation was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. What really made the experience exceptional was the host — incredibly welcoming, responsive, and helpful with local tips. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and authentic beach escape!

We absolutely loved our stay! Hazel and Kim have created a beautiful, relaxing environment inside and out! The ver clean home had all the amenities needed/wanted from the kitchen supplies and beach gear to the pool, patio, landscape. We so enjoyed the walk down the short path to the wide open beach with stunning sunsets as well as the walk through the neighborhood to get coffee or a delicious meal from Cafe Mar Azul. The sightings and sounds of the Howler monkeys was an added treat! The location was a quick 5-10 min drive to Playa Grande with additional dining options and a farmers market with some of the most delicious pineapple and other yummy fruits and veggies. Also, Hazel was very helpful with answering questions and sharing information before and during our travels which made booking excursions and navigation or first Costa Rica visit go super smooth. Highly recommend Casa Pelicano and wish we could have stayed longer!!

About the host

Hosted by Hazel Swart

Host profile image
We are an adventurous couple who left South Africa 18 years ago sailing in a yacht that we built ourselves. After living for a period in San Pedro Belize the call of the ocean surf in Costa Rica persuaded us to make Costa Rica Playa Grande our home. After having fun renovating Casa Pelicano and once the children and grandchildren moved away we decided to enter the holiday rental market to allow us the freedom to continue our travels when it suited us.

Why they chose this property

This is truly a little piece of paradise. If you enjoy nature peace and tranquility you will love Casa Pelicano and Palm Beach Estates Playa Grande.

What makes this property unique

A little piece of paradise..
Casa Pelicano is steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. Low tide offers the most magnificent beach walk's /runs all the way to Tamarindo Estuary in the South or past Playa Ventana in the North. Keep your eyes open for baby turtles that might have just hatched and are heading to the ocean. For the surfers make sure your board is waxed before high tide. When you have had enough of the sun and the beach come home to our tropical paradise and laze in the pool or on the pool loungers. The porch is large and gives you enough shade or sunshine. Bird watchers we have plenty to see (even a set of binoculars) Explore Playa Grande on the 2 beach cruisers. Cycle to Rip Jack Inn for early morning Yoga.
Casa Pelicano is ideally situated to enjoy the benefits of Tamarindo via a short water ferry ride or the peace and tranquility of Palm Beach and Playa Grande. The best of both worlds.
