Beach front for the baby turtle 5 AM ‘run to the sea’ & every sunset - was just the beginning of how much it is no comparison to not being on the ocean front. Our family of 8 had an amazing experience. Thanks to all the property helpers who made it a special trip to CR!

Best place to stay in all of Costa Rica, I’m convinced. Everything you need is in the house. Clean, great wifi, everything you need in the kitchen, filtered water. If you like to surf, swimming, sunsets and a slow, quiet time this is your place (it is very close to tons of adventure there too).

Thanks for your feedback Therese! Yes, Playa Grande is a spacious two miles of beach with a small, quaint community and a dozen restaurants spread-out. For guests reading this review, the closest restaurants are Las Tortugas and Taco Star about a 5 min walk with Rip Jack Inn, Aguae Pipa and The Burger Spot an additional 5 min. walk. The remaining restaurants are under a 10 min. drive. See Google Maps to determine distance from the beach house. Best Regards Therese, Julie

Lovely Stay in an Amazing Spot

We loved our five nights at Casa Mirage on Playa Grande. The location was unbelievable, the house was beautiful and the staff were lovely. We had Kimberly cook us three meals, and they were all delicious! The house was perfect for our two families and we enjoyed every sunset and evening starry sky. We'd return there in a heartbeat!

Family Vacation

The house is exactly as it appears in the photos. The staff is wonderful - especially Kimberly. Property manager and Kimberly were very responsive to any questions we had during our weeklong stay. The house is located on a very quiet part of the Playa Grande beach, which we loved! It was close to enough to enjoy Tamarindo when we wanted to go shopping or some nightlife. It was truly a wonderful vacation - definitely recommend!

Playa Grande Paradise

This is the second time I have stayed at this home and it does not disappoint. It has it all. We had Kimberly prepare all of our meals and the food was amazing. Hopefully we will make it back to this house again some day. It works great for a big group or family with kids. Thanks for an amazing vacation.

Heavenly Spot

We can’t say enough great things about our stay here, it was incredible! Beautiful beach right at the front yard, plung pool to cool down, spacious house for all the family, and loved all the staff that worked at the property as well as Leanne for fantastic communication. Good restaurants and night market down the road but overall a very chill area. Would highly recommend this place.

Magical Vacation in Costa Rica

Everything about this house is perfect. Wonderful space for multiple generations to gather plus quiet bedrooms when sleep is needed. The ladies who take care of the house and cook are the best! We had three generations of family and everyone enjoyed this beautiful location and all of the amenities.

Luxury and Comfort Costa Rican Style

Our group of 3 couples was totally excited and thrilled as we toured our home for the week! As trip planner, my husband and I were given the master bedroom, but all the bedrooms were lovely. We appreciated the staff that was there to ensure our comfort and security. No worries, just beauty and relaxation for the entire week!

This house is amazing! Plenty of space for our group of 14! The beach is beautiful. Leanna, the house manager was so helpful - always in communication and was there any time we needed anything. Chef Kimberly cooked a wonderful dinner for us and had the kitchen stocked for our arrival. We loved everything about our experience at the Casa Mirage!!

Great Place to Stay in Playa Grande

We had a great stay at Casa Mirage. The travel from USA to LIR was easy. Everyone we encountered was so incredibly genuine with their hospitality and kindness. The house was great. The location was awesome. Tamarindo is nearby for hustle and bustle if you want it or just kick back and relax and this beautiful location. Epic surf everyday. Julie was a great host and answered all my questions promptly. We hope to come again soon.

Paradise

My family had the most wonderful stay at Casa Mirage! The property was large and secured with several security guards. We had Kimberly shop for groceries and cook 6 meals for us and it was one the best parts of our trip.. enjoying quality meals together. We had surf lessons at the house and massages. You can’t find a more relaxing place to unwind and enjoy nature. Bring cash for additional expenses you add to your stay at the house. Pura Vida!

Splendor in Costa Rica

We celebrated 3 graduates on our stay at Casa Mirage. Some were new to Costa Rica so it was fun to introduce them to such a wonderful slice of the world in a house so accommodating. Bedrooms were comfortable, kitchen spacious and efficient and best of all just steps away from the beach. We rented surf and boogie boards for the week. Some of our group took excursions snorkeling, canoeing and visiting a wildlife preserve. Several trips into Tamarindo rounded out the stay. It was lovely and we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Fanatastic Casa and Location

Casa Mirage fit our needs for 10 people really well. The layout was perfect for the old adults and the young adults as far as sleeping arrangements with the bedrooms provided. The only problem we had was the 1st bedroom on the left as you entered the courtyard had a really bad cigarette and smoke odor. We had to air it out and spray it with air freshener every day so the party using it could sleep at night. Other than that it was an enjoyable experience. Thanks Tom Kaley

Hi Tom, wonderful to know you and your group enjoyed your stay in Playa Grande. We would have loved to have had the opportunity to make it more enjoyable for guests in room 1. Per our rental agreement we don't allow smoking and unfortunately it wasn't identified prior to your arrival. We wish we had been notified and given the opportunity to alleviate the issue by changing out filters and utilizing products which remove odors. Please know the reason we staff the villa with a maintenance man and have our own private property manager is to provide our guests with the best stay possible. Thank you for your feedback.
