Private paradise

This property is amazing. You are just steps from the beach, which has a great break full of kind local surfers. You are only a 10 min walk on the beach to the water taxi into tamarindo for 2 per person. So you are close to society, but the beach is insanely less crowded than Tamarindo, when I would have coffee at 5:30 AM I’d often be the only person on playa Grande. Manfred was amazing, he was super helpful by instantly solving any tiny issues we had. They provided local contacts and made the whole process seem less and easy. My kids loved the big pool and all of the crabs and wildlife. We saw howler monkeys multiple times! Thanks for the great stay! We will be back!

Women's Retreat

I hosted a women's movement and healing retreat and this place was perfect!! It was super private and serene. Our house chef, Alcira and her mom cooked every meal for us and the food was incredible. Manfred, the home owner, was responsive to our every need before and during our stay. Highly recommend this beautiful and unique property and location.

Wonderful private beach getaway

We loved our time at casa guayacan. The concierge was wonderful and helped us coordinate everything we needed with the personal chef (who we also loved) - and all staff was friendly and responsive. The place itself felt so private and the pool and space around it incredibly relaxing and safe, which was important with two kids under 3. Would definitely return!

Great Location

We rented both properties for our large group of 32 guests and had plenty of room for everyone. Manfred was great at answering my msg's before and during our trip. The chef service was wonderfully delicious. The only think I would change is adding more meals. The grounds staff was friendly and attentive. Honestly, I can't say enough about our stay. We would book this again.

Our second time back to the property. We love this beach- its perfect for adults with a beginner surf break and kids to run around and boogie board. The sunsets were incredible. We hired cook for meal- Vero and Rosa- we loved them and everything they prepared for us. This is a special place!!!

Awesome

There were 16 of us and we all had a blast. It is very secluded yet close enough to Playa Grande beach, and a short walk to cross over the estuary by small boats. Walking and boarding the boats are not for the physically impaired. The staff did their job and Alcira, our cook did a phenomenal job. Our concierge Alonso took care of all the small issues that can pop up.

Beautiful Property on Unique Amazing Location!

Absolutely gorgeous location! Beach feels almost private with great waves for surfing and boarding. House is great for big groups, staff is very supportive and responds quickly to all needs! Estuary is short walk and boat rides to Tamarindo are super easy! Living space is open air so it is warm but the bedrooms stay very cool and comfortable! Pool is awesome and grounds are well kept. Highly recommend this house!

Amazing location on fantastic beach

We brought 28 people to stay for fun and play and boy did this property not disappoint! We rented out both parts of the property- double the fun. The property was well kept, communication on WhatsApp with house manager and staff was seamless. The beach is private with little traffic, the softest sand and great waves to catch. The pools were fantastic and the houses and bungalows were perfect for our guests. Would stay at this location again.

A perfect location for a family vacation! We were a family if 9 adults and 9 children ages 3 to 13. We all loved the beach enjoying the shell hunting and playing in the waves. The sunsets were spectacular! The pool is large with plenty of room to play. We had breakfast and dinner prepared by Alcira and team. The food was great and so graciously prepared.

Wonderful paradise

We have stayed in Palm beach for years we love that neighborhood. This home was everything we needed. It fit 3 families perfectly and private for everyone. The pool and outdoor area is perfect. The pool is huge and the landscape around it is gorgeous. The nice big table outdoors was perfect for big gatherings. We had a chef come and cook for us all and it was perfect. The whole compound would be fun to rent with all our friends. We will be back.

Casa Guayacan at Playa Grande

Manfred and his team are so helpful and kind. They made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The recommendations were all great and the chef services were perfecto!. Anything that we needed was accessible right to the property. We could have stayed on the property the entire trip and we would have been comfortable and completely taken care of. The property is beautiful and the beach is amazing, with a surf break, sunsets and lightning storms to view from the second story spaces. Rainy season was enjoyable at Casa Guayacan. We hope to return someday.

Outstanding experience

This property is one of a kind totally private, gorgeous grounds, made for rest with lots of variety between pool, lounges, hammocks and a shady pool. The surf is booming right outside the windows, and is almost private with huge swath of beachfront and just amazing waves and warm water. The cooks and staff are responsive and almost invisible. There’s everything you need to be comfortable and have a great vacation, what a special place!
