Nice Villa
The villa is within easy walking distance to the beach and a couple of great restaurants. The beds are extremely large and comfortable, AC worked great (It was 35c when we were there so needed it for sure! Only rent a place with AC), and the kitchen is very well equipped (we did lots of cooking in the villa). We enjoyed the small pool and usually had it to ourselves which was nice. Just make sure you do a grocery shop before arriving at Playa Grande as the little markets in PG are VERY expensive. Out of the owner's control but It's Costa Rica, so expect some potential insects. We also were able to do an estuary tour that started just a 2 min walk away which was cool (Shawna organized it for us) and we took the boat over to Tamarindo one morning just to check it out. But PG beach was much quieter and Tamarindo was too busy for us. You can also easily do some trips to other beaches easily such as Playa Conchal which was beautiful. Shawna was very helpful and responded quickly to any of our questions.

Great Stay in Playa Grande
Sunshine Villa is exactly as pictured / described in the listing. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils , etc and the beds were comfortable! We stayed with two young kids and it fit our family well. The walk to the beach was short, just took us longer with the kids and there were a few restaurants nearby to walk to! We felt like we had plenty of privacy with the other villas nearby and very secure. Playa Grande Estates in general is very safe, a little out of the way, but a great community. The only downside to our stay was the pool- everyday there was either animal poop inside or outside the pool. We didn’t use it once we found it inside. Thankfully friends nearby had a pool to use!

Lovely Villa
We had a wonderful stay at Sunshine Villa! The house is so comfortable and we loved the swimming pool! The property is so beautiful with lots of wild life and as an added bonus it is super close to the beach. Both the owners and property manager were very responsive both before and during the stay. If you are traveling during low season I would recommend having a rental car because the bars and restaurants close during this time so you have to travel to town but it is still a great location. Would recommend!

Isolated beauty
Nearly 15 minutes over rutted, pot-holed, unpaved roads lead to an oasis of calm. Home is one of 5 in a little enclave surrounding the pool. Very peaceful, just like pictures, clean and well-appointed. (no hair dryer, however. And due to on-going drought, there were limitations on length of showers, availability of ice, etc.) Very small, pesky ants are everywhere in Costa Rica. You just have to get used to them & secure all foods in frig. Comfy king beds, good AC, nice pool. Bathroom towels and rugs could def use an upgrade. All communication w/mgmt staff was professional and prompt. Be sure to arrange delivery of foods/beverages ahead of time as the nearest store is over an hour away, and there are only a few restaurants nearby. The beautiful beach is only a short walk away, open from 6-6daily. (Costa Rica nat'l Parks owns the beach property,) Beautiful but truly an isolated destination, although Tamarindo is about 30 minutes away for restaurants, clubs, shopping.

Just the best experience ever
Not only was the house absolutely perfect and met all our needs, but dealing with Shawna and Jorge was effortless. The house had all the accommodations we could have hoped for. It's location was accessible to everything. I would highly recommend a stay here for anyone who is seeking a tranquil stay in Costa Rica.

Great place!!
We loved this place! Great location, nice compound with a shared pool kept so clean! The only bummer was no big bowl only small cereal bowls and the blender is stripped so doesn't work. Those can be easily replaced. Thanks to Jorge for helping us and our next door friends get comfy.

Excellent Holliday Vacations!
Great place to stay for the Hollidays. Pros: -Very near to the beach. Walking distance. The beach is Awesome. Since it is a National Park it is very well taken care of, it is very clean, there is not a lot of noise. -Very near to restaurants, at least three of them are within walking distance. Some other options in Playa Grande. -Near to convenience store. Walking distance as well. -The house has a very practical distribution and they have everything you need (linen, kitchen appliances, small appliances, cutlery, dishes, etc) -Pool area is nice and has shadow, which makes it comfortable to stay during the day. -Some included entertainment (boogie boards, some books, some board games, cards) -Very recently bought main kitchen appliances. -Good internet. -Clean. Cons -Kitchen and wooden doors may need some maintenance. -Water pump makes some noise that can be fixed. -BBQ is ok, might need maintenance soon.
