About this property

Playa Grande Loft 5 - Tropical Hideaway - Full Kitchen - Long Stays Welcome

Playa Grande doesn't need much of an introduction. The surf is world-class, the beach is uncrowded, and once you arrive, you'll understand why people keep coming back.

Loft 5 is the end unit — a bit more private, a bit more character. Located just off Playa Grande's main entrance, it's 10 minutes on foot from one of Costa Rica's most consistent surf breaks and the protected shoreline of Las Baulas National Marine Park. It's especially well-suited for guests who want to slow down, settle in, and stay a while.

The loft has a queen bed (sleeps 2), full kitchen, dedicated workspace, WiFi, air conditioning, and Smart TV. Outside, your private patio with two chairs is the right spot for morning coffee or an evening wind-down. The shared outdoor shower is in the breezeway for post-surf rinse-offs, shared laundry is accessible in the bodega on-site, and surfboard storage is out back. Dedicated parking right out front.

*One thing worth knowing before you book: Loft 5 is the end unit beside Santo Bandido, a local wine bar. Light ambient noise — music and conversation — may be audible Wednesday through Saturday from approximately 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Outside those hours, the property is quiet and peaceful. Most guests find it adds to the atmosphere rather than detracts from it, but we'd rather you know upfront. If consistent evening quiet is important to you, we're happy to check availability in one of our other units, further up the road from the restaurant.

The property consists of two modern buildings side by side — five individual loft apartments total, each with its own private entrance. Relaxed and semi-private — you're part of a small community without it ever feeling like it.

Playa Grande is the quieter, less crowded alternative to nearby Tamarindo — same stunning Pacific coastline, same world-class surf, without the noise. The beach sits within Las Baulas National Marine Park, where leatherback sea turtles nest seasonally, and howler monkeys announce the sunrise from the treeline.

Everything you need is walkable — Pots & Bowls for fresh bowls and smoothies, a local bakery, Beach Break Surf Cafe, surf rentals, and several restaurants. Stock your kitchen at the newly opened Willsofy Supermarket, a full-service market with meat, canned goods, and everyday essentials just a short walk away. The Store, a neighborhood corner market next to the pharmacy, is perfect for personal items and a quick grocery run. There's also a local fruit stand nearby for fresh produce when the season is right. Tamarindo is 20 minutes by car for additional dining and nightlife. Liberia International Airport (LIR) is approximately 55 minutes away.

A few things that make the stay easier: complimentary mid-stay cleaning upon request, motorcycle and golf cart rentals arranged through our local partner Playa Grande Rentals and Tours, yoga nearby, and a complimentary Pack 'n Play available for families traveling with little ones — just ask.

Weekly and monthly discounts available — long stays warmly welcomed. No hidden fees — the price you see is the price you pay.
