Awesome Resort-Like Feel
This was our first trip to Costa Rica. A similar house on Maui would likely be $2000+ a night. The house was beautiful, comfortable, full of lovely art and wood furniture. The staff were the nicest, most welcoming people. The home is about 20 minutes north of Tamarindo which we saw as a bonus. We would highly recommend this home. My only concern for future guests is that the house is currently up for sale. Will that change anything? I hope not.

Perfect beach getaway
We loved our 8 day stay at Casa De Vre, directly on the incredible Playa Grande. The house was just what we needed for our family of 5, with all of the necessary amenities. Daily housekeeping was very much appreciated, as was overnight security and the great landscaping. We definitely would book again.

Our annual vacation at Casa De Vre is always are favorite part of the year. The location and the house are amazing. One of our favorite things about Casa De Vre are the amazing people that look after the property. Evelyn, Kenneth, Santos, etc are the nicest people on earth. Santos is a great addition. His work on the grounds does not go unnoticed. Its beautiful. We hope to see everyone for years to come!

A paradise on Playa Grande!
Had an amazing time staying here! Can't say enough wonderful things about the staff- they were so attentive and helpful! The beach is secluded and typically empty so it really feels like a private oasis in front of some incredible surfing. Pool was always clean and sooo warm. Rooms have great AC so it's very comfortable inside when you want to escape the heat and humidity. All in all it was a perfect stay at Casa de Vre! We will be returning!!

A True Pura Vida Experience
We had a fabulous week at Casa de Vre enjoying beachfront living on a beautiful stretch of Playa Grande that offered endless waves for beginner to intermediate level surfing, long walks and runs on a wide and firm beach, incredible sunsets and stargazing. The location is close enough to walk to a few local restaurants and bars and surf shops for gear and lessons. A car gets you to grocery stores, Tamarindo and Flamingo with ease. The house is very comfortable with outdoor living during the day and plenty of room for evenings indoors. The kitchen is very well equipped. The pool area is fabulous. Bedrooms are all air conditioned and very comfortable. The staff at Casa de Vre was very friendly and helpful despite our lack of local language abilities. Thanks so much to our host, Leeana, for allowing us to enjoy this beautiful home.

We have stayed many places in Costa Rica and this was by far the best location to the beach! Sit on your front porch and watch kids surf and boogie board. Pool was a amazing too! House staff was great, Evelyn cleaned everyday. Including dishes and laundry! True vacay for moms! You could walk to several restaurants/ food carts.

Just Lovely
Stayed for a week with our adult children and had a lovely time! Home was very clean and spacious and all of the staff were helpful and friendly! Every morning we enjoyed our view from the porch of the ocean waves while drinking our coffee, took long walks on the beach and floated in the pool during the day and then admired the gorgeous sunsets right in front of our VRBO every night! Great communication with the host ahead of time and during our stay to help arrange rides to/from airport and Tamarindo as well as excursions. (Would highly recomend Play Grande Travel/Shuttle.) We also frequented the local restaurants which were walkable from the VRBO. Made some wonderful family memories at Casa de Vre'!

Perfection
Casa de Vre was exactly what we were looking for! Steps away from a quiet beach and gorgeous views in every direction. The house itself is beautiful inside and out. Very comfortable for our family of 4, but we could have easily added another family and still had plenty of space. We loved watching the waves as we drank coffee in the rocking chairs each morning, swimming in the pool and ocean, and walking up and down the beach. 5-10 minute walk to several great restaurants. 30 minute drive to Tamarindo, Flamingo, and Potrero. The staff was amazing! They were all so friendly and made us feel right at home. We hope to be back soon!

So wonderful we came back a second time!
The location is amazing if you are looking for a less crowded beach with good surf. The house opens up to the outside with sliding doors giving you an indoor/outdoor living experience with ceiling fans in every room to help with the warm humid air. Only the bedrooms have their own a/c unit and thermostat control. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare all your meals and if you don't want to cook you can pay Kimberly to cook for you. The kitchen only comes stocked with salt/pepper so plan on grocery shopping when you arrive. As you can see by the photos the house sits right on the beach but if you don't want to spend all your time in the ocean I think the infinity pool is one of the best features about this property. I brought pool floats with me as it doesn't come with any and then left them behind for the next guests. The property is absolutely beautiful and as an avid gardener I really appreciated all the work that goes into keeping the grounds looking lush and beautiful. Unfortunately the coconuts on the property were too green this time of year so we didn't get to enjoy them as we did when we came in the month of July. The staff is wonderful, kind and helpful! Evelyn kept the house very clean and with 24 hr security you always felt very safe. Suggestion: You might want to bring cheap slippers with you (like you get at a hotel or spa) because the floor gets very slippery when you get out of the shower even after drying your feet off.

Hidden Paradise in Tamarindo
From before we even rented to the time we left, Mary, Miguel and Travis were amazing! Mary helped us determine if the house was right for my dad. He is in a wheelchair and they went out of their way to build small ramps for him! We were all blown away by their kindness. Travis met us at check in and walked us through. He was fun and inviting. He made us feel right at home. Every question we had before and after we arrived was answered quickly. We truly loved our time here! The howler monkeys overhead in the morning, the iguana's leisurely walking in the yard and the sweet dog, who sweetly and silently guarded my dad's door each evening. We loved our visits with the family and how accessible they made themselves, when we needed anything and they were so very kind! If I had to list any negatives - it would be that the lower floor is a bit disjointed in its layout. There was no indoor living room to really sit and gather in when it was raining. However, outside and upstairs there were so many beautiful places outdoors that were set up for us to visit and eat together. We loved those moments and might not have done that had there been an indoor meeting area.. The grounds are beyond beautiful and meticulously cared for, with the beach just beyond the back gates. We cannot recommend staying in this hidden paradise highly enough. It is a beautiful hidden paradise with in walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. If you stay here, you will want to come back for years to come.

Lovely home and perfect location for kids
Really awesome property, directly on the beach and 5-10 mins walk from just about anything you need while enjoying a beach vacation in CR. My only critical feedback is the beds are very squeaky, and I was sharing with one of my kids, so every time he moved, the bed squeaked and would wake me up. Otherwise, Evelyn is fantastic. Kimberly was such a great resource for grocery shopping and cooking breakfasts, and the security staff (Kenny especially) was so great. We loved playing with Chica and letting her off her leash to hang out with us in the yard. We loved it so much we already booked for next year!
