Outdoor Living in Absolute Privacy Steps from the Water's Edge

Enjoy the luxury of outdoor living in serenity and seclusion, in this amazing compound boasting multiple living areas for multiple activities.

Unique. In a category of it's own; Casa Velas is nestled on a 7.5 acre property, with over 200 meters (675 linear feet) of beach frontage, at the most private sector of Playa Grande’s four mile long beach, within Las Baulas National Marine Park. This spacious compound is just steps from the water’s edge and offers views of the beach and spectacular sunsets from virtually every vantage point.

The very large swimming pool (where you can actually swim laps and children can actually play), is only steps from the beach and conveniently located between the Tiki bar, the main house and the guest house - all surrounded by beautiful gardens planted with palm trees, fruit trees and flowers that attract monkeys, exotic birds , iguanas and many other sorts of wildlife from the park.

With three master suites and two regular bedrooms ( with adjacent bathrooms, air conditioning and TV), a fully equipped ocean view kitchen, three dinning areas and indoor and outdoor living areas, Casa Velas is the ideal vacation home for groups of one or more families.

The Villa is designed in a way that integrates the different activity areas yet allowing for space and privacy among its guests.

If you plan your trip between October and March you will have the privilege of witnessing the majestic Leatherback Turtles nesting , sometimes right in front of the main house.

Garden/pool maintenance and 24 hour security are provided. Housekeeping is provided at your request. Our amazing private chef is also available at your request - all contributing to give you the experience of fun, play , relaxation and pampering that defines Costa Rican living.

A five minute walk will take you to the estuary that separates pristine Playa Grande from Tamarindo - where you will find an abundance of restaurants , shops and nightlife. A panga will take you across for a small fee.
The luxury of open space, space and more space to generate a delicious sense of freedom.
Love Nature, Live Nature, Enjoy the Costa Rican Experience !!!!!

A bit of paradise
Beautiful property right on the beach. Generously-sized pool. Lots of room for our family of 10 to spread out. We sat pool-side and watched the parrots and vultures. Huge lizards and a tiny frog came by to visit. Our cook, Darling, prepared delicious meals. Lots of beans and rice and fresh tortillas. Mounds of fresh papayas, pineapples, etc. The waves are perfect! Big enough to be exciting, but safe enough for children and beginning surfers. A fabulous family vacation!

Great assistance from Ana
Unfortunately we were unable to stay at this property due to damages the main house sustained prior to our arrival. Ana was amazing in helping us find another location to stay at. She continued to check in and make sure we were taken care of by a neighboring property. The location of the house is amazing and we were extremely sad we couldn't stay at her property. If we were to return to Costa Rica, this property will be on the top of the list to stay at. Also, the concierge associated with this property was amazing! We booked a day trip ziplining, Cloud Forrest tour, lunch and transportation and a family photo shoot on the beach with an amazing photographer.

Great ocean beach location! Semi private.
The ocean beach was beautiful. The beach was steps away from the home. The foliage around the house and shade trees around the home were gorgeous. The home and additional apartment were very spacious. This property could easily accommodate 10 to15 people comfortably. Remember, there are two houses that you have available to use. The home had air conditioning only in the bedrooms! The kitchen, dining room and living room were not air conditioned. Those rooms did have ceiling fans. The shower head in the master bath was clogged. Only 13 water holes out of 40 in the shower head worked! When you turned on the shower it felt like a laser beam was going through you! One of the showers had to be shared with the 6 sand crabs in it! ALL the furniture in the home NEEDED TO BE REPLACED! Our entire family had back pain at the end of our stay. The beds were extremely bad and the living room furniture cushions were shot. It was a struggle just to get off the couch! The nearest town where you could find an American grocery store was about 40 minutes away. The many ruts in the road were everywhere and they were deep! It was a miserable experience driving on the roads. The only highway we had access to was a single lane highway with a double yellow line down the entire highway. There were no shoulders on the side of the road. In fact, many of the ditches on the side of the road were 3-4 feet deep trenches. We still enjoyed our time there, but would not go back.

We were family and friends of a group of 10. We had a fantastic stay! Veronica and Ariel were fantastic! I highly recommend having Veronica cook breakfast for you each morning as well as dinner when you are not going out. The house is located right on the beach and has a huge pool and tons of space! Will definitely come back! Ana…please put a WiFi router extender in the second house. Bedrooms had air conditioners. Could definitely use one in living room area.

Retirement celebration with siblings and husbands
Our stay was awesome! This was our first time to Costa Rica. Anna answered my numerous questions and helped to assure me that this was the right place for 8 of us to gather. Veronica and Ariel were wonderful, food was delicious. They were kind and helpful, using Google translate made it pretty easy to communicate. The property is some what remote, so for older people or those not in shape, can be difficult to get around. We didn’t feel comfortable driving, used Playa Grande shuttle service for tours and transfer to and from the airport. The country is beautiful, the property is beautiful, right on the beach, pool was great. Thank you for a great week in CR!

Perfect location, Lovely property, Enjoyable time!
We loved our time at Casa Velas! My husband and I stayed here with my sister and her husband. It was a lovely, quiet property for the 4 of us. We enjoyed the two large master suites (one in guest house) with air conditioning, comfortable shady areas for coffee time, reading, and eating meals, the huge pool (also with a shady side) for cooling off. PERFECT location! Just step through the trees to the beach! Easy, 5-min drive to lots of restaurants. Live music and delicious food at Rip Jack and Sugarbees. We also loved Cafe Mar Azul, Malinches, and tiny Taco Star at end of long walk down Playa Grande! Property Managers are on site, cleaning the pool daily and taking care of things. We are already thinking about our next stay at Casa Velas!

Great secluded location
Fantastic private feeling beach! We traveled with a total of three families and had plenty of space for the kids and grown ups. House is in a gated community with several options for meals, treats, and a fun pura vida vibe. Pool was cleaned every morning, and sand swept away each day as well. Lots of crabs and ants around- so clean carefully when you choose to cook. We did not use the chef option as we ate out or cooked on our own. House is a bit worn down, but it was too hot to be inside anyways so we enjoyed the pool and beach. Grocery delivery was nice but be careful to make sure he understands your order exactly as you want it. Overall a great trip and loved the privacy or no one else on the beach!

You cannot beat the pool and ocean view. Some upgrades would be nice such as air in the main living areas, lots of ants (some to be expected in this natural area), tvs that work.

True pura vida
This property is absolute heaven. It has been loved and shows some wear and tear, but it is incredibly comfortable and more than meets the needs of a beach house. Ana provided excellent communication with us in advance and helped our driver with GPS directions. Vero and Carlos cooked incredible dinners (better than most restaurants) and maintained the property beautifully. The grounds are large and full of mature trees and flowering plants- a perfect haven for howler monkeys, birds, iguanas and more. We spent our mornings exploring and our afternoons hanging out by the stunning pool. The estuary boat crossing to Tamarindo is a ~10min walk south on the beach depending on the tide. The restaurants and a small supermarket in Palm Beach Estates are a 5min walk north on the beach. Our family loved Malinches Restaurant and enjoyed live music at the Grateful Hotel, also a short walk away by road or beach- bring flashlights. We chose to rent bikes and surf boards from Frijoles Locos in Playa Grande and took a surf lesson right at the house- it was incredible. This not a beach for relaxed swimming, but it is a paradise for surfers and walkers/runners with jaw dropping sunsets. We did not rent a car but could imagine that would be a good idea for a longer trip. If you are looking for an active night life, staying in Tamarindo seems like a better option- we wanted tranquility. All in all Casa Velas was the perfect match for our family- we can’t wait for an opportunity to return.

This was our 3rd trip to Playa Grande and our 2nd time at Casa Velas This home is very roomy with a large property so even with 10 of us we had plenty of space to chill out We were steps away from the beach and there is a wonderful place to sit under the trees to watch the ocean and amazing sunsets Veronica and Ariel are the property managers and they are just the nicest people. They were very quick to help us and make our stay comfortable We hired Veronica to cook for us which was delightful and it was really nice not to have to do it ourselves. Howler monkeys passed in the front yard daily, iguanas roamed the property, raccoons were a pest but cute and the chirping of the house geckos was cute. My room had the balcony with a great view.. only problem was the door did not close properly and it made me a little nervous. We will definitely be returning to Casa Velas

We love coming here
We had another wonderful time. Our family loves Casa Velas for its location, outdoor facilities, the two buildings, and the amazing meals that Veronica & Ashley prepared for us. The location is unique-7.5 acres on a quiet & stunningly beautiful four-mile beach perfect for surfing, boogie boarding, long beach walks or runs, or exploring creatures living in the tidal eco-system. The very large outdoor pool is almost mandatory for our three-generations who love to jump in it. It’s next to a spacious pavilion with a hammock, L-shaped couch and cushioned chairs inviting people to read or nap, a long table for communal meals or games, and a grill. There’s still another covered eating/playing area in the lush vegetation between the living room and the short path to the beach. There’s plenty of space for large groups to spread out everywhere for sports, games, talking, eating, and napping. The 5 bedrooms with ACs split between the main house and a 2 story guest house provide families opportunities to be together but have private spaces. Most important for our happiness and the feeling of a real vacation was that Vero and Ashley prepared incredible meals (feasts really) for us daily. It was such a treat to not cook & to have authentic Costa Rican cuisine. We were overwhelmed as they placed photo-shoot ready platters of delicious foods on the huge table. Beyond her food prep job, Veronica generously offered very warm & caring help when we needed it. We will be back.

Fantastic Location
Location is 5 star - beautiful large group facilities, grounds and beach couldn’t be any closer. House is large but is typical beach house that’s surviving elements and closer to 3.5 star. Great communication with property manager. Vero cooked a two dish meal for us one night and it was off the charts good. Came out to be roughly $44 USD per person for nine of us with labour and groceries that Ariel picked up. Perfect place for family and just far enough away from the bustling Tamarindo which is not our style.

A Wonderful Gem!
Our family group of 10 ranged from adults down to a two-year-old. Our desire to experience a foreign culture and its beach environment was fulfilled beautifully! The home is located in a tranquil location, just steps away from a wonderful gently sloping beach that provided our two- and five-year-old grandsons a great place to play in the waves. If town, bars, restaurants and beach vendors are your thing, that’s all available in Tamarindo. A short walk and ferry ride away. The real “gems” of the trip were found in the onsite chef and grounds keeper, Veronica and Ariel. We quickly befriended them, enjoying time planning local meals of typical Costa Rican fare, learning about the area and what it has to offer. The one concern that I had is the closeness of the home to the South. It’s an arm’s length across the fence. That concern was realized in the form of a birthday party with loud music until the early morning hours. Much to my relief the issue was quickly resolved by contacting Casa Velas owner, Ana. She communicated with the neighbors and the peace and tranquility of the property quickly returned. Communicating with Ana through WhatsApp was fast and easy. She quickly resolved our questions and needs. Muchas Gracias Doña Ana!

Great Family Stay at Casa Velas
We enjoyed a great week at Casa Velas with our family of 7 adults and 2-yr-old granddaughter. Veronica and Ariel are excellent hosts. Veronica cooked breakfast & dinner, which we highly recommend. Meals were enjoyed in the beautiful, covered veranda surrounded by greenery. Ariel kept everything looking nice. Both communicated well with google translate. We felt we made two new friends! We were in and out of the beautiful pool all the time. Our granddaughter loved it, though we had to keep a constant eye on her as it is wide open. The house and rooms are as described. Clean and comfortable with large windows, allowing you to enjoy the scenery even when inside. The beach is only steps away through a few trees. Long and flat with shells, great waves for surfing, and very quiet. A world away from the circus that is Tamarindo. We visited in October at the end of the rainy season. The foliage is beautiful, much greener than the dry season. Overall, the weather was fine with comfortable temps and an occasional downpour. Nothing better than a snooze in the hammock when it rains. It takes a long time to drive anywhere, with sudden road closures after rain, so we were glad we had not booked anything far away. There’s plenty to do in the area. We took 3 excursions: turtle nesting, cruise/snorkel and estuary tour. Best of all was to simply stay in at Casa Velas - to relax, watch birds, play on the beach & pool, enjoy the delicious meals and time with family. Highly recommended!

We stayed with one other family, 13 of us in all. The house was beautiful and met all of our needs. The beach was beautiful and mostly empty. We felt like we had the beach to ourselves. The waves were perfect for learning how to surf. The best part was the meals Veronica prepared and served on the beautiful outdoor patio. It was simply amazing. We wish we would have stayed longer. Communication with the host was great. I hope to come back!

Location couldn’t be better
This property was spacious and the location directly beachfront cannot be beat. We loved being able to step out on to the sand anytime we liked. The main house where the kitchen and living room are has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There is another building that has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (one of those bedrooms has 4 beds in it). The property sleeps 15 comfortably and has bathrooms for each bedroom which is really nice. The pool and outdoor lounge areas are private and comfortable. I would rent here again in a heartbeat.

Stop searching and STAY HERE!
This property was perfect for our family's stay in Costa Rica. 10 people - two grandparents and two families with children ranging from 5-13. Pros: VERONICA - she cooked almost all of our meals and they were delicious - I definitely recommend the arroz con pollo and arroz con pescado, but all the meals were excellent and it came down to about $20/person/day THE BEACH - it's a few steps from the pool, beautiful shells, long, flat entry, great waves for boogie boarding or surfing, and it feels very private. THE POOL - perfect for kids - 4 feet deep at the deepest and always clean Other notes: The master suite is above a room that's perfect for kids the one with four small beds. It's up several stairs so the grandparents didn't feel comfortable with that one. The road it's on is long, bumpy, and slow going when leaving the house for excursions. This area has a few restaurants you can walk to that are worth checking out. There is a company that you work with to arrange transportation and excursions and they are great to work with and have many options to try. Some of the descriptions are not exactly accurate but still very fun. The Monteverde cloud forest and the waterfall rappelling are VERY FAR AWAY - 3-4 hours each way with windy roads that may cause car sickness ifs you're prone to that. The waterfall rappelling was great fun but did not come with a breakfast as advertised (so it was 14 hours from the house with only lunch provided) and the jump rock and hot springs are free local spots to hang out that were quite fun but we were needing snacks and some water by that point. The Monteverde offered beautiful views of plants and the longest hanging bridge in Costa Rica. Zip lining was fast with hand brakes. There wasn't time for the two hour guided tour of the shopping option. The best excursion was the sunset sail. DO THIS! Book this house and have a great trip to Costa Rica!
