About this property

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 !!!!!

Fun in the sun
The property is an amazing location, beautiful beach almost to yourself. The high light of our stay was the chef and property caretaker. They were so friendly and helpful with anything we asked. The meals were so delicious.

Family getaway
Check in and communication was well organized and easy. The place was in a wonderful location - right on the beach and also had a big pool the adult kids quite enjoyed. We will definitely recommend to friends and hopefully make it back again :)

Beautiful beach location Villa
We enjoyed two weeks at Casa Velas recently with our entire family of 6 adults, and 4 grandchildren. The location could not be better. The house is located right on Playa Grande, which is a very private beautiful beach with great waves, yet safe for smaller children (when accompanied of course). The outside space and pool are excellent. Lots of room to dine with 10 of us under the covered patio, which also sports a nice seating area. The weather was very hot, so we appreciated the option of sitting in the shade. The small grove between the beach and the house was of our favourite spots to enjoy a quiet read with morning coffee. The pool is large and offers a welcome relief during the day, lots of fun for the little ones. Veronica and Ariel were wonderful hosts, warm, accommodating, and helpful. Ariel cleaned the pool every morning and Veronica’s dinners were delicious. She cooked for us every day we were there, which we would highly recommend. She also arranged for groceries to be delivered. Communication was done using the Google Translate app which worked just great for all of us. They do live right behind the 2-bedroom cabana, but were never intrusive and in our case, made us feel very safe and comfortable. It should be noted that the bedrooms are not connected in the cabana, so not suitable for young children. All rooms were equipped with well-functioning A/C’s so sleeping at night was comfortable. The main room in the house has no A/c which made sense to us, as the doors are open during the day, as people wander in and out. The house is nicely decorated, but older and shows the wear and tear of a beach location. We were not too concerned, as when travelling with little children, you don’t want to constantly worry about them sitting on the fine furniture. The kitchen could use an update on the cabinets as well as the supplies. We didn’t do a lot of cooking, so not a great concern but an updated kitchen with newer supplies would have changed this to a 5-star rating. We arranged several trips through Playa Grande Tours and enjoyed them as well. Tamarindo is close and fun to get to via a stroll along the beach, and a Panga across the inlet. Note that they don’t go across after 5:00 pm so plan accordingly. Overall, a great stay and we would recommend it.

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!

Why they chose this property

My husband inherited the property from his family. Initially there was absolutely nothing so we would go camping. It was fantastic. Casa Velas was one of the first constructions in Playa Grande. When the first house was built, regulations did not require that there be a setback from the public area, so it was built as close to the beach as possible. We later opened up the house to to keep the feeling of outdoor living that we love so much. We have traveled around the world and have not yet found a place quite like our beautiful Playa Grande.

What makes this property unique

No other house in the area is as close to the ocean as Casa Velas. We do not walk to the beach. We can be in the comfort of the villa and be steps from the ocean.
The large swimming pool, also steps from the ocean, has the compound wrapped around it - very convenient to watch over the younger guests.
The luxury of great open space to generate a delicious sense of freedom.
