5 Minute Walk to The Beach! Nestled in Nature Vacation Villa

4 Bedroom/4.5 Bathroom total (3 BR main house + 1 optional bedroom/bath/kitchenette in-law suite)

Welcome to ‘Casa Marbella’ located in the gated community of Palm Beach Estates. The villa is a modern, fully furnished 4 bedroom, 4 1/2 bathroom home. Casa Marbella is nestled between the beach and a mangrove estuary where wildlife is abundant and protected. It is not unusual to see and hear Howler Monkeys, parrots and other tropical birds on the property or in the surrounding areas.

Palm Beach Estates is a quiet neighborhood consisting of both permanent, year round residents and homes which are rented by their owners. Casa Marbella has permanent residents on either side of the house. The pool in the backyard is completely private and a wonderful place to relax, have a private yoga session, grill out, and enjoy the nature of Costa Rica.

The three bedroom main house has an optional , attached ‘in-law’ unit with a separate entrance, bathroom and kitchenette making this home a 4 bedroom. Each bedroom suite has it own bathroom, a ceiling fan and individually controlled air conditioners. The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed and a bathroom with double vessel sinks. The upstairs back bedroom also has a queen bed and features a huge trapezoid window facing the jungle and estuary beyond. The 'Master' upstairs bedroom has a king bed, 2 ceiling fans, two vessel sinks in the bathroom and french doors opening up to a Juliette balcony. Located at the top of the stairs is a small open office area with a futon where one adult or 2 children can sleep and is also equipped with air conditioning. The in-law unit has a double bed, kitchen, and ensuite bathroom. If you have children the entrance can be controlled. We do not rent the in-law unit separately, so regardless of your needs, the privacy of this property is yours. Just let us know if you are interested in including this unit to your rental for an additional fee. This unit expands the whole house to accommodate up to 8 persons comfortably. NOTE: When generating a quote via this website the rates that are listed are for the 3 bedroom main house only. If you are interested in adding the 4 bedroom (in-law suite) there is an additional fee of $85/night during the high season (November through March) and $70/night during low season (April through October). The open gourmet kitchen comes fully stocked and has granite counters with all stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and microwave. The living room has a large flatscreen TV equipped with cable and a DVD player. If you enjoy music the casa has a network stereo receiver. You can stream your favorite music via Spotify, internet radio, or music stored on your PC both in the main house or pool deck area. You can relax in the serenity of the outside covered patio overlooking the free flowing pool and lush gardens, or you can soak up the sun on the extended exposed decking wrapping the poolside. For security, the main house and the apartment both have a safe which can accommodate a laptop, phones, passports etc. The house has an extra large lock up room if you wish to secure any additional valuables. Also provided with the house is an ADT alarm system for the entire house and in-law suite. Palm Beach Estates is a gated community, so in the evenings a guard controls the entrance and exit of vehicles into the community. Playa Grande is a part of Las Baulas National Park where the world’s largest leatherback turtles nest every year. If you are an early riser and on a morning beach walk you might catch baby turtles freshly hatched making their way to the ocean. The area is also known for world class surfing, fishing, horseback riding, zip lining, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, golfing, sunset sails and more. Playa Grande is a very laid back 3.5 miles white sandy beach, where you can take long walks or just relax with a cold drink while watching one of our spectacular sunsets. On many occasions you might be the only person on the beach! Villa Marbella is a 2 minute walk to 3 restaurants and a small convenient store and if you want to venture a little further you can take a 5 minute drive into the north of Playa Grande and you will find several more restaurants, pizzeria's, bars, 2 surf shops, and yoga studio. If other services are needed Tamarindo is only 25 minutes by car or during the day you can walk down the beach and catch a water taxi across the estuary. Tamarindo is a little tourist town that has all the amenities such as supermarkets, banks, church's, car rental, restaurants, bars, discos and more!

Fabulous stay
Loved our time here. The 10 year old twin boys basically lived on the pool when at the house. Large house with good instruction by hosts. Great location to walk to the beach. Took a night turtle tour that was amazing.

Relaxing Convenient Stay
The house is in a great location with easy access to beautiful beach, market and restaurants, all in Pal Beach Estates. The rooms are separated enough to provide privacy but common areas (living room, kitchen and pool deck) allow opportunity for socializing.

Fantastic place, great location! Great people! Great food! Kristi was fantastic setting up our tours and transportation with Alvaro. Alvaro and Jose were fabulous and very accommodating and informative. Great restaurants all within walking distance. Beach was beautiful and not busy. Walked to Tamarindo on the beach a few times, very busy over there but cool to see, just remember to bring money to take the boat across the river. Lots of surfing, low tide was incredible to see. Sunsets so beautiful. Only negative would be needed more comfortable patio furniture around pool, there wasn’t enough lounge chairs we had to use the wooden chairs from the table. Would go back in a heart beat!!! Thanks Kristi for making our stay spectacular!!

Amazing location with total tranquility
The property backs up to the nature reserve and we had a howler monkey right in the tree above as we swam. The pool was perfect and the patio cover kept us cool from the hot afternoon sun. Beach and restaurants are within an easy walk so everything you need for a relaxing vacation is right there. The hosts were amazing and there to help with anything needed. Overall an awesome experience!

Quiet, convenient location
We had a great stay. Kristi is a great host and was communicative and helpful. The location is great if you are looking for something quiet but still within an easy walk or drive of restaurants. Our kids spent hours in the pool, which was cleaned daily, except for Sunday. The beach near this house is excellent for finding shells and surfing/boogie boarding. We also used the casita that is attached but separate from the rest of the house, which was great to give the other adults in our group space. Overall, great property!

Not as advertised… it was better.
I cannot overstate how great this place isBand how great this VRBO experience was. I was hesitant to write a review because I do not want anyone else to stay there. Thank you for an amazing stay. Thank you Ali, Kristi, Doug and Alvaro. We are now homesick. :-) See you all again soon.

Great location! Easy walk to the beach. Big house, with lots of rooms. Hard to find a place to accommodate five single adults. This place was perfect. Upgraded and clean. Highly recommend Kristi’s house!

Amazing Experience
A beautiful home nestled in the rainforest which provided a relaxing and quiet stay. The home was very spacious and clean as well as the pool and patio. Only a 5-6 minute walk to the beach which was nice, calming, somewhat secluded and relaxing!! Kristi and Doug’s customer service was impeccable. Anything needed they were very responsive from recommendations to any other info needed. The food recommendations located near the home was delicious….Cafe Mar Azul was our favorite! We were able to see animals in their natural habitat from the backyard! If you want to visit Tamarindo it’s a short boat ride up the estuary for only a few US dollars. Beautiful beach and good food and a lot more people. Amazing experience for our 10 day stay. Highly recommend!
