Over deze accommodatie

Een plek voor jezelf

Je hebt de gehele woning helemaal voor jezelf en hoeft dus alleen met je reisgezelschap te delen.

Buitenleven in absolute privacy op steenworp afstand van de waterkant

Geniet van de luxe van het buitenleven in sereniteit en afzondering, in deze geweldige compound met meerdere woonruimtes voor meerdere activiteiten.

Uniek. In een eigen categorie; Casa Velas is gelegen op een terrein van 7,5 hectare, met meer dan 200 meter (675 lineaire voet) strandvoorgevel, in de meest particuliere sector van het vier mijl lange strand van Playa Grande, in het nationale mariene park van Las Baulas. Deze ruime compound ligt op een steenworp afstand van de waterkant en biedt uitzicht op het strand en spectaculaire zonsondergangen vanaf vrijwel elk uitkijkpunt.

Het zeer grote zwembad (waar u baantjes kunt zwemmen en kinderen daadwerkelijk kunnen spelen), ligt op slechts een steenworp afstand van het strand en is gunstig gelegen tussen de Tiki-bar, het hoofdgebouw en het pension - allemaal omgeven door prachtige tuinen met palmbomen , fruitbomen en bloemen die apen, exotische vogels, leguanen en vele andere soorten dieren uit het park aantrekken.

Met drie master suites en twee gewone slaapkamers (allemaal met aangrenzende badkamers, airconditioning en tv), een volledig uitgeruste keuken met uitzicht op de oceaan, drie eetruimtes en woonruimtes binnen en buiten, is Casa Velas het ideale vakantiehuis voor groepen van een of meer families.

De villa is ontworpen op een manier die de verschillende activiteitenzones integreert en toch ruimte en privacy biedt voor zijn gasten.

Als je je reis plant tussen oktober en maart, heb je het voorrecht om de majestueuze Leatherback Turtles te zien nestelen, soms recht tegenover het hoofdgebouw.

Tuin / zwembad onderhoud en 24-uurs beveiliging zijn aanwezig. Schoonmaak is om de andere voorzien. Onze geweldige privékok is ook beschikbaar op uw verzoek - dit draagt allemaal bij aan de ervaring van plezier, spel, ontspanning en verwennerij die het Costa Ricaanse leven bepaalt.

Een wandeling van vijf minuten brengt u naar de monding die het ongerepte Playa Grande scheidt van Tamarindo - waar u een overvloed aan restaurants, winkels en uitgaansgelegenheden vindt. Een panga neemt je voor een kleine vergoeding over.
De luxe van open ruimte, ruimte en meer ruimte om een heerlijk gevoel van vrijheid te genereren.
Houd van de natuur, leef de natuur, geniet van de Costa Ricaanse ervaring !!!!!

Great Getaway

Casa Velas was delightful and the proximity to the pool and beach was perfect for us with young children. They communicated well and you must have Darling cook for you. It made the whole trip relaxing and delicious. Its not the Hilton and bring bug spray, but we all loved it. It was a great way to celebrate a birthday and family.

paradise in Costa Rica

Can't say enough about Ana's house. The pictures do not do it justice. The pool area and sitting area was where we spent most of our time and it exceeded all expectations. The house itself was perfect for what we needed and my wife and I stayed king size suite in the separate dwelling with the four grandchildren staying below us. We were a party of twelve and had plenty of room. The description of the house states close to the beach, and that is no exaggeration. We were on the beach which was unbelievable to walk, swim and watch the beautiful sunsets. The staff with the place were the nicest people you could meet and were helpful in so many ways. We had three meals prepared at the house and we wish we could have done more. If you are looking for the perfect place on the beach in Costa Rica, Ana's house is a must.

The BEST!

This is the second time we have stayed at Casa Velas and it was our seventh time to Palm Beach Estates on Playa Grande. This newly renovated house/compound is our favorite. It’s right on the beach, has plenty of shade and seating for everyone, and an exceptional, sparkling pool that is large enough to float and play in. The bedrooms are air conditioned and there is a bathroom attached to each of the five bedrooms. No sharing of bathrooms is amazing!We had meals prepared for us every morning and every night except for one. Having this service makes all of the difference: so much more time for relaxing and playing. Having on-site caretakers is fantastic too. Knowing someone is right there if you need them is such a big benefit. Every day they cleaned the kitchen and the pool, and took out the trash. Very helpful!During our time there we got to see racoons, inguanas, howler monkeys, hermit crabs, and giant grasshoppers all right on the property! So many beautiful birds too. Every day was a nature adventure. We can't wait to go back.

A bit of paradise

Beautiful property right on the beach. Generously-sized pool. Lots of room for our family of 10 to spread out. We sat pool-side and watched the parrots and vultures. Huge lizards and a tiny frog came by to visit. Our cook, Darling, prepared delicious meals. Lots of beans and rice and fresh tortillas. Mounds of fresh papayas, pineapples, etc. The waves are perfect! Big enough to be exciting, but safe enough for children and beginning surfers. A fabulous family vacation!

Great assistance from Ana

Unfortunately we were unable to stay at this property due to damages the main house sustained prior to our arrival. Ana was amazing in helping us find another location to stay at. She continued to check in and make sure we were taken care of by a neighboring property. The location of the house is amazing and we were extremely sad we couldn't stay at her property. If we were to return to Costa Rica, this property will be on the top of the list to stay at. Also, the concierge associated with this property was amazing! We booked a day trip ziplining, Cloud Forrest tour, lunch and transportation and a family photo shoot on the beach with an amazing photographer.

Great ocean beach location! Semi private.

The ocean beach was beautiful. The beach was steps away from the home. The foliage around the house and shade trees around the home were gorgeous. The home and additional apartment were very spacious. This property could easily accommodate 10 to15 people comfortably. Remember, there are two houses that you have available to use. The home had air conditioning only in the bedrooms! The kitchen, dining room and living room were not air conditioned. Those rooms did have ceiling fans. The shower head in the master bath was clogged. Only 13 water holes out of 40 in the shower head worked! When you turned on the shower it felt like a laser beam was going through you! One of the showers had to be shared with the 6 sand crabs in it! ALL the furniture in the home NEEDED TO BE REPLACED! Our entire family had back pain at the end of our stay. The beds were extremely bad and the living room furniture cushions were shot. It was a struggle just to get off the couch! The nearest town where you could find an American grocery store was about 40 minutes away. The many ruts in the road were everywhere and they were deep! It was a miserable experience driving on the roads. The only highway we had access to was a single lane highway with a double yellow line down the entire highway. There were no shoulders on the side of the road. In fact, many of the ditches on the side of the road were 3-4 feet deep trenches. We still enjoyed our time there, but would not go back.

We were family and friends of a group of 10. We had a fantastic stay! Veronica and Ariel were fantastic! I highly recommend having Veronica cook breakfast for you each morning as well as dinner when you are not going out. The house is located right on the beach and has a huge pool and tons of space! Will definitely come back! Ana…please put a WiFi router extender in the second house. Bedrooms had air conditioners. Could definitely use one in living room area.

Retirement celebration with siblings and husbands

Our stay was awesome! This was our first time to Costa Rica. Anna answered my numerous questions and helped to assure me that this was the right place for 8 of us to gather. Veronica and Ariel were wonderful, food was delicious. They were kind and helpful, using Google translate made it pretty easy to communicate. The property is some what remote, so for older people or those not in shape, can be difficult to get around. We didn’t feel comfortable driving, used Playa Grande shuttle service for tours and transfer to and from the airport. The country is beautiful, the property is beautiful, right on the beach, pool was great. Thank you for a great week in CR!

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!

True pura vida

This property is absolute heaven. It has been loved and shows some wear and tear, but it is incredibly comfortable and more than meets the needs of a beach house. Ana provided excellent communication with us in advance and helped our driver with GPS directions. Vero and Carlos cooked incredible dinners (better than most restaurants) and maintained the property beautifully. The grounds are large and full of mature trees and flowering plants- a perfect haven for howler monkeys, birds, iguanas and more. We spent our mornings exploring and our afternoons hanging out by the stunning pool. The estuary boat crossing to Tamarindo is a ~10min walk south on the beach depending on the tide. The restaurants and a small supermarket in Palm Beach Estates are a 5min walk north on the beach. Our family loved Malinches Restaurant and enjoyed live music at the Grateful Hotel, also a short walk away by road or beach- bring flashlights. We chose to rent bikes and surf boards from Frijoles Locos in Playa Grande and took a surf lesson right at the house- it was incredible. This not a beach for relaxed swimming, but it is a paradise for surfers and walkers/runners with jaw dropping sunsets. We did not rent a car but could imagine that would be a good idea for a longer trip. If you are looking for an active night life, staying in Tamarindo seems like a better option- we wanted tranquility. All in all Casa Velas was the perfect match for our family- we can’t wait for an opportunity to return.

This was our 3rd trip to Playa Grande and our 2nd time at Casa Velas This home is very roomy with a large property so even with 10 of us we had plenty of space to chill out We were steps away from the beach and there is a wonderful place to sit under the trees to watch the ocean and amazing sunsets Veronica and Ariel are the property managers and they are just the nicest people. They were very quick to help us and make our stay comfortable We hired Veronica to cook for us which was delightful and it was really nice not to have to do it ourselves. Howler monkeys passed in the front yard daily, iguanas roamed the property, raccoons were a pest but cute and the chirping of the house geckos was cute. My room had the balcony with a great view.. only problem was the door did not close properly and it made me a little nervous. We will definitely be returning to Casa Velas

We love coming here

We had another wonderful time. Our family loves Casa Velas for its location, outdoor facilities, the two buildings, and the amazing meals that Veronica & Ashley prepared for us. The location is unique-7.5 acres on a quiet & stunningly beautiful four-mile beach perfect for surfing, boogie boarding, long beach walks or runs, or exploring creatures living in the tidal eco-system. The very large outdoor pool is almost mandatory for our three-generations who love to jump in it. It’s next to a spacious pavilion with a hammock, L-shaped couch and cushioned chairs inviting people to read or nap, a long table for communal meals or games, and a grill. There’s still another covered eating/playing area in the lush vegetation between the living room and the short path to the beach. There’s plenty of space for large groups to spread out everywhere for sports, games, talking, eating, and napping. The 5 bedrooms with ACs split between the main house and a 2 story guest house provide families opportunities to be together but have private spaces. Most important for our happiness and the feeling of a real vacation was that Vero and Ashley prepared incredible meals (feasts really) for us daily. It was such a treat to not cook & to have authentic Costa Rican cuisine. We were overwhelmed as they placed photo-shoot ready platters of delicious foods on the huge table. Beyond her food prep job, Veronica generously offered very warm & caring help when we needed it. We will be back.

Casa Velas is the perfect oasis on Playa Grande away from the busy action in Tamarindo. It’s easily walkable to the boats to cross to Tamarindo for restaurants and shopping. Veronica is an amazing chef. I highly recommend having her cook meals. It was so nice to not worry about feeding a group of 14! Gorgeous property and lots of space for all. Definitely would stay at Casa Velas again.

Fantastic Location

Location is 5 star - beautiful large group facilities, grounds and beach couldn’t be any closer. House is large but is typical beach house that’s surviving elements and closer to 3.5 star. Great communication with property manager. Vero cooked a two dish meal for us one night and it was off the charts good. Came out to be roughly $44 USD per person for nine of us with labour and groceries that Ariel picked up. Perfect place for family and just far enough away from the bustling Tamarindo which is not our style.

A Wonderful Gem!

Our family group of 10 ranged from adults down to a two-year-old. Our desire to experience a foreign culture and its beach environment was fulfilled beautifully! The home is located in a tranquil location, just steps away from a wonderful gently sloping beach that provided our two- and five-year-old grandsons a great place to play in the waves. If town, bars, restaurants and beach vendors are your thing, that’s all available in Tamarindo. A short walk and ferry ride away. The real “gems” of the trip were found in the onsite chef and grounds keeper, Veronica and Ariel. We quickly befriended them, enjoying time planning local meals of typical Costa Rican fare, learning about the area and what it has to offer. The one concern that I had is the closeness of the home to the South. It’s an arm’s length across the fence. That concern was realized in the form of a birthday party with loud music until the early morning hours. Much to my relief the issue was quickly resolved by contacting Casa Velas owner, Ana. She communicated with the neighbors and the peace and tranquility of the property quickly returned. Communicating with Ana through WhatsApp was fast and easy. She quickly resolved our questions and needs. Muchas Gracias Doña Ana!

Great Family Stay at Casa Velas

We enjoyed a great week at Casa Velas with our family of 7 adults and 2-yr-old granddaughter. Veronica and Ariel are excellent hosts. Veronica cooked breakfast & dinner, which we highly recommend. Meals were enjoyed in the beautiful, covered veranda surrounded by greenery. Ariel kept everything looking nice. Both communicated well with google translate. We felt we made two new friends! We were in and out of the beautiful pool all the time. Our granddaughter loved it, though we had to keep a constant eye on her as it is wide open. The house and rooms are as described. Clean and comfortable with large windows, allowing you to enjoy the scenery even when inside. The beach is only steps away through a few trees. Long and flat with shells, great waves for surfing, and very quiet. A world away from the circus that is Tamarindo. We visited in October at the end of the rainy season. The foliage is beautiful, much greener than the dry season. Overall, the weather was fine with comfortable temps and an occasional downpour. Nothing better than a snooze in the hammock when it rains. It takes a long time to drive anywhere, with sudden road closures after rain, so we were glad we had not booked anything far away. There’s plenty to do in the area. We took 3 excursions: turtle nesting, cruise/snorkel and estuary tour. Best of all was to simply stay in at Casa Velas - to relax, watch birds, play on the beach & pool, enjoy the delicious meals and time with family. Highly recommended!
