Our family spent a week in the 2 bedroom apartment and loved it. Comfortable beds,hot water with good pressure and so easy to get everywhere. We had a car, but you dont need one if you are staying put in Playa Grande.A great home base.

Great apartment for two people. Location to the beach and a couple restaurants is good A car is needed to enjoy the area. Not great for swimming in the ocean but the surfers like it.
Marvelous small group of apartments (4) that are very close to the playa grande beach! Victor was very responsive! Other guests were a treat to interact with as well
The apartment is in a convenient location close to restaurants, local market and a short walk to an amazing beach. We enjoyed every morning on the balcony watching and listening to the day begin in Playa Grande. The property manager, Victor, made sure we were settled in and made himself available for anything we might need. Enjoyed our stay.
Everything was perfect. Smooth check in and out. Helpful managers. Everything you could need was in the apartment. Look forward to going back and recommending it.
Exactly as billed. The apartment is in a perfect location just steps from a 5 km long beach. Excellent food in nearby restaurants within walking distance. Excellent communication with property manager who was there to meet us as arranged. Apartment is simple but has all the necessities. Great value.

Excellent value for money. Small but cozy, well equipped, great location and friendly Marianela.
Location is great (75m walk to the beach). The apartment is a bit tight in space, so four people is more than enough. But the terrace and garden in front make it perfect for sitting outside with your breakfast or wine. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. No pool if you have kids...
Great location if you are there for the beach. Overall we had a great time. One glitch - upon arrival we couldn't get in. It turned out the manager's contacts were in an email sent 2 months prior when we made the booking and somehow missed, assuming incorrectly that as with all our many other VRBOs the keys would simply be in the apt. VRBO sent us an email just before we left titled "Here are the keys to your ...trip" which included Arrival Information saying the property manager would check us in (no contact info), and as we had given the host our arrival time we thought we were good to go. Apparently the manager called our phone but we did not have int'l calling on, as we intended to just use the internet. So, it was nobody's fault. Once past that hurdle, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Smooth checkin. Comfortable beds. Excellent AC, important in the heat of dry season. We've stayed here before and use the kitchen a lot so appreciated the refreshed kitchen implements and new drapes all around.
alles Lüge, ein dreck Stall, fürchterliches Haus, drecckige Dusche voller Kalk, dreckkiges Waschbecken genauso die Spühle und der Geschirrablage, halb vergammeltes Besteck ein einziger Teelöffel, es hat an Besteck und Geschirr gefehlt kaputter Kühlschrank,-lief Tag und Nacht-Lebensmittel sind darin erfroren da man diesen nicht eistellen konnte ,Ablagen kaputt-Glasablage im Kühlschrank fehlte nur zwei Teller, kein Zahnputzbecher, keine Gläser zum trinken, verrostetes Terrassengeländer-welches als Wäscheleine dienen sollte- auf unsere Frage gibt es keine Wäschelein-Antwort gehe in Supermarkt kauf dir eine und täglich massenhaft Hundertfüßler (kleine raupenartige Würmer, mieserabeles Bett, kein Schrank und eine dreckige Antwort darauf es ist eben so in Costa Rica Landestypisch. nie mehr Costa Rica. Das Auto geknackt und alle Elektrogeräte geraubt. Anzeige bei Kripo in Nicoja gemacht. So einen Mistladen haben wir noch nie gesehen. Die Sicht zum Strand-ein Witz -kein Strand in Sicht, dafür abnormale staubiger Weg vor dem Grundstück, daß Auto mußten wir freifegen wie im Winter bei uns den Schnee.
Apartment was clean and well maintained. Bed was comfortable and kitchen was furnished with appliances and cookware. The apartment is small but worked out well for us (party of 2). The location is great with short walk to the beach and restaurants. Would stay here again.
We love Playa Grande and are planning to move here permanently. The Apartments Veranera are very clean, comfortable and convenient to all things Playa Grande, especially the spectacular beach, 600 feet. Steve and Victor are very professional, friendly and helpful in making sure your visit is as enjoyable as possible. We will definitely be staying there every time we are in Playa Grande.
The rental is as advertised. Walking distance to restaurants & beach. Loved the outdoor deck for dining and relaxing. Fun little town.

Liked: Listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
No pool, out of the way.
Time of year so we felt we overpaid but this was what was available. We are not surfers so we did not appreciate it as surfers would. You need a car if you stay here.
I can’t speak highly enough of how much I enjoyed my time in this apartment. I hope to return soon and often

This was a beautiful place to stay in Playa Grande. Moments to the beach, quiet, simple, and clean.
Communication was easy, and the location is the best. Playa Grande is incredibly beautiful and a great beach to walk at low tide. Loved our stay!

needs some attention to detail and to their paying customers
The unit (2 bdrm) is VERY MUCH SMALLER than the photos show. Be prepared! If sharing this unit be sure to grab the 'quiet' bed. One makes so much noise (wood creaking) it will scare the other room mates.
Security is great to have in Costa Rica, we had 3 different keys for each time we
left or came back to the unit. But we had to ask for another set because we would have had to leave and come back at the same time in order to get back onto the property. Other guests while there felt the same way. More sets of keys are a definite need.
Our unit had an overflow pipe for hot water under our sink that we were not made aware of.
The pail overflowed several times which flooded the cupboard and the kitchen floor. Not a chore we were happy to deal with the whole 26 nites. We were told it would get looked after but that did not happen. The unit smelled when the doors were closed up for the day.
The laundry had a terrible smell, towels and bedding. The smell that comes from leaving laundry in the machine overnite and longer. We had the same comment from others staying there.
We and others were not advised what to do with our garbage, a few people upon leaving from their stay would leave their garbage outside the door and in the morning the remaining tenants would wake up to garbage thrown all over the area from animals in the nite. Sometimes it would get cleaned up, but that depended on whether someone was working that day. The groundskeeper, when there, was very helpful and friendly.
If you have no phone plan while visiting be sure you get an email address of the owner for correspondence. We were told to use the phone in the unit but there are no phones!
The location is great. The patio is a welcome space after the small area inside the unit.
The price is what you have to pay for staying in quiet Playa Grande where the people are friendly, the beach is forever and never crowded. Our return trip next year will need further investigation. We would not return to this unit.

Great location!
My husband and I stayed here for 4 days in a one bedroom unit upstairs on our first time visiting Playa Grande. The apartments are modern and nice. The property is very lush and green. The beach is literally down the street. Restaurants are within walking distance. There are no pantry items in this apartment for cooking or coffee. There's a little (I mean little) stand you can get some grocery items; like coffee and bananas. the nearest market is miles away and we did not have a rental car. I recommend getting groceries on the way to Playa Grande. We didn't have wifi as advertised which resulted in us buying international data on our phones. The apartment building ran out of water on the last day we were there which affected other residents. The apartment only has minimal supplies...4 towels, 2 pillows, 2 small bars of soap. No extras and no blankets, just a set of sheets on the bed. Also, there really is no sofa to sit on. There is a bench with a cushion in the living area which made it hard to relax and watch tv after a long day at the beach.
