We come to Playa Grande virtually every year and usually stay at the owner's other house, which we loved. When that was rented for our dates this year, we got offered to stay at Casa Pipa....what an amazing surprise this was - it is a stunning, brand new house with everything you could ask for in a beach vacation including our own private beach access path, we loved it! Just as the owners promised, the entire house is new top to bottom including beautiful hardwood furniture, a fully stocked kitchen with new appliances, new linens etc. The house is tastefully furnished and we absolutely loved to hang out on the huge covered terrace at the huge hardwood table to watch the birds in the backyard. We saw a troupe of monkeys nearly every day, and the fact that the house has no immediate neighbors was a huge plus. I enjoyed the yoga deck for my stretching exercises and we had several BBQ dinners prepared on the outdoor BBQ. The private beach path is 15 yards short and truly magical. The house is close to a few restaurants with the Café Mar Azul right across the street. If you are looking for a quiet, tranquil tropical retreat with all the amenities of a deluxe vacation, we highly recommend this gem.
