Overview
4 Bedroom, 3 Bath, With A Pool, Rustic Beach Front House, Surf Right In Front!
Welcome to Casa De Madera (The Wooden House) your perfect beachfront getaway! You will love staying at this rustic beach house, full of character and charm. The only beachfront house in Playa Grande that has truly affordable rates for everyone!
The value in Casa De Madera is in the location right on the beach, where you can surf and watch the sunsets everyday from the privacy of your own backyard. Relax in the natural surroundings and let the soothing sounds of the ocean put you to sleep each night. There's nothing like it!
The expansive swimming pool is great for young kids as there's a large shallow section, and it is situated just steps from the beach!
There are views of the ocean from almost every room in the house! You'll know when to grab your board and head for the water at any moment!
With beds for up to 11 people, Casa de Madera is fully equipped to accommodate large groups so bring everyone! Downstairs hosts the living room and dining room which can all be opened up to let the tropical beach breeze blow through. The kitchen is there with lots of space to cook and serve up great dishes and the floor plan is perfect for entertaining. The first bedroom is here with an en suite bath and has a twin bed and a queen bed for sleeping up to 3 people.
The kitchen is fully equipped with electric burners, electric skillet, rice cooker, microwave, coffee maker, and blender. The house is also well stocked with all the kitchenware you will need, to cook and serve your meals on the beach!
Upstairs there are 3 more bedrooms and 2 baths. The master bedroom upstairs offers a quiet and quaint beach view balcony perfect for a romantic evening of watching the sunset, or sipping coffee while watching the waves early in the morning.
The other two bedrooms share a spacious bathroom and can sleep 3 people to each room. There's also a lovely common area upstairs great for gathering to play cards, read a book or just hang out.
At this rustic house you don't have to completely unplug from the world, the house has cable T.V., wireless high speed internet for your modern conveniences. The beachfront location gives it a nice tropical breeze and there are fans throughout the house for your climate control comfort.
The house is very well maintained and clean. The housekeeper and grounds keeper are a very nice couple from Nicaragua who live in the separate caretaker's house. The price includes once a day house cleaning.
There's no better way to enjoy Playa Grande than being right on the beach, where you don't have to rush to go see the sunset everyday because you're already at the beach! Playa Grande is an amazing beach with over 3 kilometers to explore and find waves, it never gets crowded! Within a 5 min walk of the house there's a local grocery store, and several restaurants to choose from, including a unique cave bar which has fun every Friday night with live music. The house is located near the Tamarindo Estuary so if you feel like venturing there to do some shopping, banking or dinning out, it's an easy 10 min stroll down the beach and then a $1 boat ride across the river.
The property managers live just 5 min up the road and are available for anything you may need during your stay at Casa de Madera. They can arrange the airport transportation, as well as surf lessons, surf board rentals, or any tours and excursions you may like to do.
We look forward to hosting you at this special ecological style beach home!

Everything is awesome
Beach front, with a view of the ocean from each room and direct entryway onto the beach. What else matters?
Quiet location
We loved our stay at Casa de Madera. It was a perfect location. On the beach and away from the tourist area of Tamarindo. The house had no warm/hot water, but from what I had heard, most homes do not have hot water. This house has tons of screen that let the fresh air in. Along with using the room fans, the house did not come with air conditioning and did not need it. The refrigerator worked well but was small for a large family. We used the stand alone freezer and kept moving our items in and out so they would not freeze. There were not any beach towels, so pack your own. There were beach chairs to use. We did not rent a car because we walked to the restaurants within Palm Beach Estates and Tamarindo. We also had scheduled tours that picked us up directly. However, next time, we will rent a car, as the swell moved north and the surf was walled out for a few days. We saw plenty of wildlife from the house and beach, including monkeys. The caretakers made sure the pool was clean and locked us in at night to keep us safe. We would consider staying here again on our next visit.
Simply Amazing!
I, along with three buddies stayed here recently for four nights. While it does not have AC (you're on the beach, why are you worried about AC?), the temperatures at night cooled it down perfectly for sleeping and there were plenty of nice fans in the house to help out. There is an openness to the home but it just gives it that much more of a get-away feel. The caretakers were excellent, cleaning the pool multiple times throughout the day, which was a task since it was rather windy at times. They were also and very friendly. It was incredible being able to walk through the little desert-like area with cacti and other plants on the other side of the pool to get to the beach. Waking up to sun and falling asleep to the crashing waves was incredibly relaxing. The kitchen had everything you need for cooking meals. We never tried the outdoor grill and really wish we would have! We did see monkeys going through the tops of the trees the first night there but not after that and a few lizards here and there. I stayed in contact with Marco and he will be with you every step of the way from setting up activities and recommendations if you like or out of your hair completely, it's up to you. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone who would like to be able to walk out to the beach from the backyard or cool off in the rather large pool. It's a great getaway!
Spectacular spot on the beach.
The house is rustic but spacious and a great place for a large number of people who want to stay together. And who should be indoors anyay? There are waves to catch and monkeys to spot! The kitchen is adequately supplied for cooking but no condiments (which was to be expected) however, the restaurants nearby have delicious choices and are easy to get to. The pool was kept meticulously clean by Sergio and his wife was helpful with our questions. This place would rock for a bunch of surf nuts who would be outdoors in the sand and sun by day and want to hang by the pool by night!
Family getaway fun!
Everything was awesome, from Izolda cooking for 8 of us for a very small price, to fun surf just a short walk out the backdoor. Sunsets were picture postcard perfect and we had easy access to a small store right around the corner. I highly recommend a stay here and plan on staying there in the near future to look for property.
Wow, what a beautiful spot!
We were a bit worried after hearing that some previous renters had been broken into in the middle of the night. But Sergio was great. If Max barked in the night, Sergio was up right away with his flashlight. We were careful to never leave any valuables lying around. We did see two suspicious guys taking photos of the place and a local warned us they sounded as if they were planning something. Don't leave anything unattended!
Once we relaxed, the place was amazing...I don't know where else you could find such a place 60steps from the most beautiful beach. Our family enjoyed learning to surf right in front of the house! We walked into Tamarinda and then really appreciated Playa Grande all the more! Quiet! In the mornings sometimes we had the whole beach to ourselves. The house could use some tender, loving care -electrical outlets are falling out of the wall - but overall, it was great. Our only complaint is the kitchen. As a family who loves to cook, it was inadequately equipped with chipped dishes and little light. We loved the pool too, cared for carefully by Sergio daily.
