CASA BAULA

HOME OF THE LEATHERBACK TURTLE

Come to Playa Grande and share the beach with the six hundred pound leather-back turtles that have enjoyed the unique splendor of this pristine beach for over a thousand years. The privacy, the adventurous beach culture, and the lush tropics of the Playa Grande Gold Coast will sweep you off your feet. Situated on the beach, in the exclusive community of Palm Beach Estates, our private 3 bedroom, 2 bath home can easily accommodate six people and has a warm and spacious Grand Room with an adjoining state of the art kitchen. You will marvel at the monkeys and the myriad of birds in the backyard as you relax in the serenity of the outside patio. Fascinating opportunities integral to your adventure lifestyle abound: surfing, world class golfing, kayaking, deep sea fishing, boating excursions, canopy touring, hiking or mountain bike riding. Or enjoy the laid back, sandy lifestyle with a long, lazy walk down the sparkling white sand beach. Food lovers can stimulate their palate with a fusion of Costa Rican Regional, European and American cuisines, all within walking distance of the "Casa Baula". Take a fifteen minute walk down the beach, followed by a short boat-taxi ride, to the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo for shopping, surfing, or more fine dining. You will never forget the 3.5 mile, semi- private beach, the romantic sunsets, and the sound of the waves you will hear from your bedroom as you drift off to sleep.
