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.

MOST AMAZING HOME and LOCATION and STAFF

Our family just left yesterday from one of the best family vacations we have ever been on. And by far the best vrbo for families we have ever rented. The location was amazing. So private and secluded. The walks on the beach in the mornings and at sunset were incredible. The ease of having a baby at this home who could nap while the baby monitor reached outside and the big kids could be in the ocean boogie boarding was perfect. And there were a couple restaurants within walking distance! And the staff, oh my gosh they were incredible! Ania the housekeeper was so sweet and kept everything in perfect condition. My kids loved her too and she even gave them a small stuffed animal to say remember Costa Rica:)! And Elibet was so quick to send someone to fix a little problem with the mini split in our room. And Felix the night guard kept us feeling so safe as he watched the property. And then Kimberly came and cooked a couple meals for us which were outstanding!!! We can’t wait to return!!!

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!!

Literal paradise

Casa Mirage is literal paradise in Costa Rica. We stayed here with three families in total. The beach is pristine, waves are perfect every time of the day and it's so secluded and private. The bedrooms were nice and the en suite bathrooms made it so easy for a large group. We had Kimberly good every dinner and a few breakfasts while we were there and they were delicious. Highly recommend if you have kids or don't want to bother going out. The playa grande area is very very small. The super market is very tiny -- if you can stop near the airport at the bigger ones you'll find a larger variety for cheaper. If you're looking for nightlife this isn't for you. But if you want quiet like it seems you can't find anywhere in the world right now this is for you! Ania was so sweet cleaning up after us and gave us fresh beach towels in the morning. She even brought out a large bag of sand toys for the littles. We've been at beaches all over the world and it is so rare to find one where some can surf, the teens and other adults can boogie board and the little kids can safely jump in the waves. This was playa grande.

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.

Beautiful location, Property, and people. My family had the best time. The house is amazing. The location right on the beach was perfect. The people who cleaned, cooked, and watched over the house our amazing people. I actually forgot my family’s passports in the bedroom safe when I drove to the airport to fly home. In a panic I called Leeana to ask for help. She arranged for Kimberly, the cook, to retrieve the passports and drive them to the airport. We made it on the plain just before the doors closed. Leeana and Kimberly didn’t have to do this for my family after we had checked out of the house. But the did with a smile because they are wonderful people!! Hope life gives my the opportunity to return to this beautiful place again.

Relaxing family location

Wonderful home to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary with teens and adults. Spacious and clean, staff was great. Beach is great, busy with surfers at high tide but understandable for holiday break. Having a car seemed necessary for access to groceries and a wider selection of restaurants. A welcoming sleepy beach area away from the chaos of Tamarindo. Will definitely return!
