4 bed / 4 bath w pool and rooftop patio 50m from Beach in Grande

Across the lane from the beach in Playa Grande’s luxurious Palm Beach Estates, this three bedroom home and casita is nestled on a large landscaped lot with a pool in front and the nature reserve at the back. There is a rooftop covered treehouse patio above the garage. If you are lucky, you'll see Howler monkeys from there or as you return from taking in the sunset on the secluded beach - and several of Guanacaste’s finest restaurants and up-scale bars are only blocks away.

The main house has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, as well as a semi-attached casita with complete bedroom/bath. Bedrooms come with the following sleeping arrangements:

Master Bedroom: King bed - master bedroom with ensuite bathroom (also has entrance from hallway)

Secondary Bedroom: Queen bed - ensuite indoor / outdoor bathroom

Third Bedroom: Queen bed & single built in bunk bed

Semi-detached Suite - queen bed & day bed with ensuite small bathroom

NEWLY renovated kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, including large double door fridge, dishwasher, oven/stove, microwave, blender, coffee maker and all of the basics to cook.

A/C units in all indoor living areas of the house.

The spacious tiled and fully screened front patio has double ceiling fans and a large built-in gas grill. Other amenities include laundry room, and a second story terrace with hammocks and sitting area. Everything you need! Comfortably sleeps eight (with beds for up to eleven).

Casa Kalumina has some safety features to keep the house locked up tightly, including a roll down metal screen. We recommend keeping this down when leaving the property and at night.

Did we forget to mention how close we are to the beach? We are located between the estuary and the beach, and it is a block walk to the beach entrance. It is actually across the street but due to other developments, you have to walk down about 100 meters and you are at the access. There is even a water taxi service to Tamarindo from Central America’s largest mangrove estuary three hundred yards away. Kalumina…the perfect place to stay!

Villa as per pictures. 3 bedrooms in main villa including 2 large ones with adjacent bathrooms very appreciated. The 4th bedroom in outside casita does not have wifi. All bedrooms have air conditioning, a must to enjoy sleep. Beds were comfortable. Huge screened porch very nice and bbq quite useful. Kitchen very well equipped with a large number of pots and various accessories. One fridge rather tight for large family like ours. Beach towels and accessories very useful namely the tent for shade and the 4 chairs. No body surfs though. Small swimming pool as described. Water shortages at check in and on departure. Very good assistance from Shawna and Jorge for these issues. Very kind in providing tips / suggestions and booking chef for a birthday dinner. Area was noisy (roof construction, adjacent villa) but not Shawna-Jorge fault. Exceptional beach.

Great Spot for families
We stayed here with friends and family ages ranging from 2-14 and loved our time here. The screened in outdoor patio was great and there was a nice large table and grill. The pool was a bit smaller than what we thought, but was still enjoyed. The beach was walking distance and the sunsets are UNBELEIVABLE. We loved our stay here!

Peaceful Oasis On The Beach
Loved the place! Loved the Neighborhood! Loved the Beach! This was a wonderful quiet little spot just steps from gorgeous Playa Grande. If you want the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo it's only a quick water taxi away but feels like another world here. Plenty of great places to eat and drink and things to do just steps away but secluded and peaceful if you just want to soak in the pool on a hot day. Catch the extraordinary sunset on the beach and then treat yourself to a fresh fat tuna steak at Cafe Mar Azul! A perfect day!

Extended Family Stay
Extended family of 7 enjoyed a week at this beautiful home. The house is everything as advertised. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, the nearby restaurants and the relaxing pool. The screened in porch was perfect for dinners and breakfasts together.

Great Property Wasted due to poor management
House is a great size and layout. neighborhood is fantastic with great proximity to beaches and restaurants, etc. The screen room is particularly uNeful. When in a country like Costa Rica you have to be prepared for bugs and critters. However, it is reasonable to expect efforts to be taken to minimize them. In this case, the property manager does not seem to care in the least. The very first night we killed half a dozen cockroaches and figured out they were coming out of the shower drain. We solved this for the stay by covering the drains when we were not using them which meant we only had a few more to deal with over the stay. A simple stainless steel screen could have been installed. Then we turned off the lights to go to bed but 15 minutes later turned a kitchen light back on there was at least 50 ants crawling all over the counters. We had only just arrived and there was NO food anywhere. We fogged the kitchen with raid but ultimately leaving the lights on in the main areas all night was the only way to control the situation. This took the ants down to a manageable situation. You could also see where the carpenter type ants were eating through doors from the bottom. We also had live crabs and a scorpion to deal with. If this was my house I would be concerned. We checked out 2 days early and advised the property manager. We never received any form of acknowledgement or communication - none. Very unprofessional & in line with the standards we saw in use.

Perfect Location
We had a nice stay at Casa Kalumina! House was in perfect location. Easy to get in touch with Shawna and Jorge during our stay for any questions we had. House had all the necessities! Spacious and A/C kept us comfortable during our stay. The outside was well maintained and kids enjoyed the pool which was mainly shaded and perfect for enjoying outside w warm temperatures. Less than 5 min walk to beach! Sunsets on beach were beautiful! We did surf lessons from Playa Grande Surf Camp right next door. We enjoyed the tight knit community and all the restaurants. 3 are in short walking distance and ALL had great food. There was a coffee shop close by as well. Grateful Dead restaurant had live music and was helpful in arranging water taxi to Tamarindo and several excursions. We did private estuary tour, walked around Tamarindo, surf lessons, and 4 person ATV side by side tour to remote beaches while staying at this house! Would highly recommend this house and location!! Thank you!!

Great villa with a tropical feel
We were a party of 6 adults and 2 babies and this villa was the perfect fit. It would have been a bit tight for 8 adults as the extra bedroom and bath is very small. The villa was well furnished with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. A lot of our time was spent in the pool and the screened in porch was a life saver. Although only 1 of the 2 fans worked it was a cool retreat from the heat. The location was great, less than a 5 min walk to a beautiful beach. Where we enjoyed sundown most days. About 20 mins walk into tamarindo (using the water taxi or walking across the estuary) and within a 5 min walk to 4 bars and restaurants and a small local grocery store and a couple of surf shops. The couple of bikes provided allowed us to venture a little further into playa granda, which is a 45 min walk. At the time of our visit there was construction at the lot next door and also across the street. They start prompt at 7am and finish around 5, which did spoil our visit somewhat but mike, Nancy and Shawna were upfront about that as soon as they knew it was starting and gave us the option of canceling or a discount. Final mike and Nancy and the property managers, Shawna and her husband, were amazing to deal with. AnswerIng all of our questions promptly and turning up to respond to our few concerns before I even had chance to check my check my phone. All the while, respecting our privacy. Thank you again to Mike and nancy for letting us stay in your property.
