Villa Siempre

2011-07-10T22:17:00Z

Stunning oceanfront vacation home in Playa Grande, Costa Rica, close to Tamarindo. This is an incredibly unique vacation rental that actually sits on the beautiful white sands of the Playa Grande beach there is nothing between you and the ocean. This vacation property has 3 bedrooms and 2 lofts, with 3.5 bathrooms, is newly renovated and sleeps 10 guests.
Villa Siempre is a wonderful oceanfront vacation rental property. There is nothing between you and the beach; you can step right from the wooden deck onto the stunning white sand of Playa Grande Beach. Playa Grande is a wonderful beach for children and also a well known surf break (with both left and right hand waves on a point beach break). The Villa is newly renovated with high quality appliances and fittings.

The kitchen is a wonderful bright blue and is well equipped including beautiful Kitchen Aid appliances. You can watch the waves break while you are preparing meals or while enjoying a drink or breakfast at the bar. The home has high ceilings and wonderful natural light. As you relax in the living or dining room you can see the waves breaking just beyond the palm trees. This is one of the few homes along the coast that has unobstructed view of the ocean.

Each of the 3 bedrooms has its own bathroom and air-conditioner. The master bedroom has a king bed and many wonderful wood accents. The two downstairs bedrooms are both multi leveled - there are 2 twin beds in the upstairs lofts (the lofts do not overlook the beds in the downstairs bedrooms) as well as a queen bed on the lower level.

Bedroom 1: King
Bedroom 2: Queen
Bedroom 3: Queen
Loft 1: 2 twins
Loft 2: 2 twins

As you relax outside on the deck, on the beautiful teak table and chairs or lounges, you can watch the children play on the beach or just watch perfect waves break. At six o'clock every night you can watch the sunset over the ocean and when conditions are just right you may even see the elusive green flash.

This is the ultimate place for a beach vacation, the beach and waves of the famous Playa Grande just outside your door and then the many attractions of Tamarindo and the surrounding towns nearby.
Playa Grande beach is a wonderful place for collecting shells and there is also a wonderful huge rock that you can climb that is surrounded by wonderful rock pools full of shells and marine creatures. There is also a beautiful black sand beach with many wonderful shells in the next cove a short stroll from your house.
If you are lucky enough to be at the beach between January to March - this is also the sight of the Leatherback Turtles nesting grounds and you can arrange special tours to see them come up onto the beach at night to nest and watch the young nestlings scamper to the water at day break.

Tamarindo, a wonderful bustling tourist town, can be accessed by strolling along the beach and catching a boat across the estuary or by car. The walk is about 45 minutes and then very quick boat ride (only available in daylight hours and costs about $1 each way). Many people swim or walk across the estuary but for me $1 was worth the dry clothes on the other side. Tamarindo has many wonderful shops and restaurants as well as a beautiful beach. Our favorite restaurant was the Lazy Wave which has a swing bar (it actually has an area full of hinged swings that both adults and children enjoy).

You can also take a boat ride down the estuary, early morning is the best time, and view the wonderful wild life in the area. We saw all sorts of birds and numerous crocodiles and our driver also found us a huge family of howler monkeys a short walk from the banks. For those with children a visit to the monkey hospital is a must - the volunteers will let you hold the baby howler monkeys, but make sure you do not go too close to Pedro the Spider monkey as he likes to pull little girls hair.

For those of you wanting a beach vacation this is the ultimate location, the house is fantastic, it comes with daily maid service and a cook can also be organized. The Costa Rican people are very friendly and the area is a wonderfully interesting place to visit.

Refrigerator with ice maker & chilled water, dishwasher, microwave, blender, toaster, washing machine, dryer, gourmet kitchen, large dining room table, off street secure parking, outdoor tables with umbrella & lounges, outdoor shower & sink, cassette & CD player, bed & bath linens provided, daily maid service, cook on request.
