About this property

4 bed / 4 bath w pool and rooftop patio 50m from Beach in Grande

  • Across the lane from the beach in Playa Grande’s luxurious Palm Beach Estates, this three bedroom home and casita is nestled on a large landscaped lot with a pool in front and the nature reserve at the back. There is a rooftop covered treehouse patio above the garage. If you are lucky, you'll see Howler monkeys from there or as you return from taking in the sunset on the secluded beach - and several of Guanacaste’s finest restaurants and up-scale bars are only blocks away.

    The main house has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, as well as a semi-attached casita with complete bedroom/bath. Bedrooms come with the following sleeping arrangements:

    Master Bedroom: King bed - master bedroom with ensuite bathroom (also has entrance from hallway)

    Secondary Bedroom: Queen bed - ensuite indoor / outdoor bathroom

    Third Bedroom: Queen bed & single built in bunk bed

    Semi-detached Suite - queen bed & day bed with ensuite small bathroom

    NEWLY renovated kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, including large double door fridge, dishwasher, oven/stove, microwave, blender, coffee maker and all of the basics to cook.

    A/C units in all indoor living areas of the house.

    The spacious tiled and fully screened front patio has double ceiling fans and a large built-in gas grill. Other amenities include laundry room, and a second story terrace with hammocks and sitting area. Everything you need! Comfortably sleeps eight (with beds for up to eleven).

    Casa Kalumina has some safety features to keep the house locked up tightly, including a roll down metal screen. We recommend keeping this down when leaving the property and at night.

    Did we forget to mention how close we are to the beach? We are located between the estuary and the beach, and it is a block walk to the beach entrance. It is actually across the street but due to other developments, you have to walk down about 100 meters and you are at the access. There is even a water taxi service to Tamarindo from Central America’s largest mangrove estuary three hundred yards away. Kalumina…the perfect place to stay!

We loved the charm of this property and we appreciated having three comfortable bedrooms with three full bathrooms. The fully equipped kitchen served us well and we took advantage of being able to do laundry on site. The pool and patio were well used and being a short walk from the beach was an added bonus. Shawna is an excellent property manager and the area is safe. We would not hesitate to stay there again!

Great Spot for families

We stayed here with friends and family ages ranging from 2-14 and loved our time here. The screened in outdoor patio was great and there was a nice large table and grill. The pool was a bit smaller than what we thought, but was still enjoyed. The beach was walking distance and the sunsets are UNBELEIVABLE. We loved our stay here!

Lovely beach escape

Wonderful stay at this lovely property. It’s a short walk from the beach and has several food options/restaurants within walking distance as well. Several options to rent beach gear (including surfboards) also within walking distance. Shawna was exceptionally responsive, and she helped us book a wonderful horseback ride on another local beach. The pool was a nice break from the beach, and there was a lot of room for hanging out and relaxing at the end of the day. If you’re looking for a nice beach trip, this is a great choice to experience the Pura Vida culture of Costa Rica.

Peaceful Oasis On The Beach

Loved the place! Loved the Neighborhood! Loved the Beach! This was a wonderful quiet little spot just steps from gorgeous Playa Grande. If you want the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo it's only a quick water taxi away but feels like another world here. Plenty of great places to eat and drink and things to do just steps away but secluded and peaceful if you just want to soak in the pool on a hot day. Catch the extraordinary sunset on the beach and then treat yourself to a fresh fat tuna steak at Cafe Mar Azul! A perfect day!

Perfect Location

We had a nice stay at Casa Kalumina! House was in perfect location. Easy to get in touch with Shawna and Jorge during our stay for any questions we had. House had all the necessities! Spacious and A/C kept us comfortable during our stay. The outside was well maintained and kids enjoyed the pool which was mainly shaded and perfect for enjoying outside w warm temperatures. Less than 5 min walk to beach! Sunsets on beach were beautiful! We did surf lessons from Playa Grande Surf Camp right next door. We enjoyed the tight knit community and all the restaurants. 3 are in short walking distance and ALL had great food. There was a coffee shop close by as well. Grateful Dead restaurant had live music and was helpful in arranging water taxi to Tamarindo and several excursions. We did private estuary tour, walked around Tamarindo, surf lessons, and 4 person ATV side by side tour to remote beaches while staying at this house! Would highly recommend this house and location!! Thank you!!

Montreal family of 8 adults + baby

Villa as per pictures. 3 bedrooms in main villa including 2 large ones with adjacent bathrooms very appreciated. The 4th bedroom in outside casita does not have wifi. All bedrooms have air conditioning, a must to enjoy sleep. Beds were comfortable. Huge screened porch very nice and bbq quite useful. Kitchen very well equipped with a large number of pots and various accessories. One fridge rather tight for large family like ours. Beach towels and accessories very useful namely the tent for shade and the 4 chairs. No body surfs though. Small swimming pool as described. Water shortages at check in and on departure. Very good assistance from Shawna and Jorge for these issues. Very kind in providing tips / suggestions and booking chef for a birthday dinner. Area was noisy (roof construction, adjacent villa) but not Shawna-Jorge fault. Exceptional beach.

The Perfect Getaway!!!

This place was perfect! A very clean and spacious place with a true Costa Rican vibe! Our family of 9 found it to have all the amenities we needed. Comfy beds and big kitchen with everything needed for cooking. The pool was a bit smaller than anticipated but we all used it everyday with no issue!The private casita room had a broken AC when we first arrived but Shawna and Jorge responded instantly and it was fixed by the time we woke up the following morning.In fact, our hosts, especially Shawna were incredibly helpful and responsive for the entire duration of our stay. Shawna set up our shuttles to and from the airport, stocked groceries for our arrival and arranged a snorkeling trip (probably the best we've ever been on)The beach access was perhaps the highlight. Less than a 5 minute walk and then faced with a long stretch a soft sand and a quiet beach. We brought our own umbrellas and used the tent provided by the property. Local surfers and surfer camp students made up most of the other beach comers and we just loved the atmosphere.Access to Tamarindo was a 10 minute walk to the water taxis. But we preferred the quiet of our area. The property is in a small community with some local restaurants (delicious) and shops including a min-mart with some food items (breads, eggs, milks, cereal, coffee). For big groceries (meat, vegetables) you would need to plan accordingly to head to Tamarindo or Playa Grande.Overall, loved our stay and would highly recommend!

Great Property Wasted due to poor management

House is a great size and layout. neighborhood is fantastic with great proximity to beaches and restaurants, etc. The screen room is particularly uNeful. When in a country like Costa Rica you have to be prepared for bugs and critters. However, it is reasonable to expect efforts to be taken to minimize them. In this case, the property manager does not seem to care in the least. The very first night we killed half a dozen cockroaches and figured out they were coming out of the shower drain. We solved this for the stay by covering the drains when we were not using them which meant we only had a few more to deal with over the stay. A simple stainless steel screen could have been installed. Then we turned off the lights to go to bed but 15 minutes later turned a kitchen light back on there was at least 50 ants crawling all over the counters. We had only just arrived and there was NO food anywhere. We fogged the kitchen with raid but ultimately leaving the lights on in the main areas all night was the only way to control the situation. This took the ants down to a manageable situation. You could also see where the carpenter type ants were eating through doors from the bottom. We also had live crabs and a scorpion to deal with. If this was my house I would be concerned. We checked out 2 days early and advised the property manager. We never received any form of acknowledgement or communication - none. Very unprofessional & in line with the standards we saw in use.

We had a great stay in your beach house. The beach is close and we enjoyed the little community. We also really appreciated the beach wagon, boogie boards and beach chairs. The outside patio that was surrounded in screens was also great. The air conditioner in the room with the king size bed was far too loud and the guests in that room could not sleep. it would be great if some of the furniture could be updated/more comfortable. Overall it was a great stay and we would recommend your place.

Beautiful property that was perfect for our stay. It’s an easy walk to the beach or restaurant. The sunset views, awesome waves, animals/birds, fruits will be bringing us back soon. The beds were comfortable, A/C was cold, full kitchen, and grill made it easy to prepare meals during our visit. The outdoor shower was great to wash off the excess sand and screened in patio were a definite plus.

We had an excellent time! The house was perfect for us! Loved that there were two suites with attached bathrooms. Kitchen was well stocked, and there were lots of beach towels. Pool was great and offered both sun and shade areas. Grounds were beautiful and our favorite spot was the screened patio area. Felt very safe in the area. Shawna was a gem and so helpful answering our questions and arranging our transfers and also a golf cart rental for us! Proximity to the beach was awesome and the beach itself was probably the nicest I’ve ever been to! Perfect for long walks without tons of people. Beautiful sunsets. There are four restaurants within walking distance and several other options if you have a vehicle. If you want a peaceful, quiet stay (albeit for a bit of construction in the area which obviously is not the fault of the management company) this is the place for you!

Playa Grande family retreat

Enjoyed a wonderful beach vacation with a very short walk to the beach. Cafe Mar de Azul is next door and provides a convenient location to eat. Howler monkeys were seen and the pool was well maintained. Highlights of the trip were taking the water taxi to Tamarindo and enjoying a sunset cruise on Playa Flamingo. All in all I highly recommend!
