Property Information
Imagine a Costa Rica Surfing village... just a short walk from the white sandy beaches, warm water and perfect hollow waves of Playa Grande by Tamarindo. A surfer's dream come true and among the world's most pristine nature destinations. We've hosted eco-tourists and surfers from all over the planet. Our place is fun and affordable. Our sun and surf world renown.

Come enjoy our beautiful beach and killer waves. We have several fun breaks just down the street. The vibe here in Playa Grande is a chill "Tranquilla". Just north of the Tamarindo estuary inside the Las Baulas National Park, Home to Leatherback Turtles, Howler Monkeys, Giant Iguanas, Exotic Birds and many more wildlife species... Come enjoy naturaleza “Pura Vida” with us…

Our budget cabinas are clean and safe with private hot water shower-bathrooms, air conditioning and ceiling fans too. We are centrally located and just a short walk to the beach. We have maid and laundry services. Enjoy lounge areas, cable TV, backgammon and poker games.

Breakfast, lunch or dinner "made to order"... How does French toast, fruit smoothies, and fine Costa Rica coffee sound? Not just a surf camp bed-breakfast. Coming soon is "Big Mama's" restaurante with her own brick oven for savory Bar-B-Q, artisan breads, and pastas too! Wholesome, tasty and reasonably priced... Want to mix it up? "Fusion Cuisine" next door, “Kike’s” across the street, or Rip Jack's a short walk away...

We can help with your special activity, travel and transportation arrangements... A full service surf shop with board rentals, lessons, etc. is available next door. Learn to surf school packages are affordable. You can take home professional "vacation pictures" of you in the water too. Just tell us what you want and we’ll hook you up...

Lively Tamarindo is closeby either way you go... about a 35 minute walk down the beach, or a 5 minute drive to a waiting boat taxi, or just taxi around the estuary in about 20 minutes. You’ll find open air markets, health spas, art galleries, craft shops, sport fishing, sailing, golf, scuba diving, horseback riding, canopy tours and more by day... over 40 bars, restaurants, nite-clubs, casinos, and the “endless summer” party by night...
