The large spacious undercover patio wraps around the whole front of the casa overlooking the private pool. A great resting zone, entertaining, or social hour retreat.

Pool loungers skirt the pool edges with comfy cushions allowing for hours of lazing, dipping in and out of the pool. Rocking chairs on the front porch to watch the world go by - why not? People love them. Morning coffee in a rocking chair works for everyone young and old!

Additionally, for any tours and activities, shuttle transfers, car rentals, etc we have people on the ground we have worked with for years and would prefer if you make use of our contacts so we always know you are in good hands.
The Surroundings and Location
The house is located in the community Palm Beach Estates which consists of approximately 200 homes. We are 1 hours drive from Liberia International Airport and 35 minutes drive or quick ferry ride from Tamarindo.
We have 4 local restaurants all of which have their own bars. We have a local mini-supermarket, fresh fruit and veggie truck that passes by, the local fish vendor delivers upon request, and local community member is a German pastry chef husband and wife team that make baked goods to order delivered to your door.
We are a 15 - minute walk South to the estuary edge that separates us from Tamarindo town. The estuary ferry boats operate on demand from sunset to sunrise and will transfer you for a dollar+ - per person for a quick 5 - minute ride to get across to Tamarindo. Tamarindo has plenty more to see for those that like tourist activities but you will find a day or two at most will more than certainly be enough and you’ll be thankful you are able to return to your quiet haven of Palm Beach.
Playa Grande town is 2 miles drive down a dirt road or 20 minutes beach walk North from Palm Beach Main Entrance. Playa Grande offers a good selection of restaurants, tennis /pickle ball courts social activities etc
As a community, we have our own privately contracted security team that works onsite at the gated entrance and also patrolling the streets from sunset to sunrise daily. The security team is non-invasive but present and has proven to be a great compliment to the neighborhood security watch system already in place. All the homeowners in the community are well connected and are super helpful when needed.
We also have a beachside clinic with doctors on call for those that are concerned about traveling with medical conditions or otherwise.
As owners we live in the properties neighboring casita so are available to assist in emergencies and otherwise check in with our guests every day or so by text message so as not to invade your privacy.
We have made countless friends with guests who have stayed with us and have many repeat clients
