About this villa rental
Treat yourself to staying at the modern and recently remodelled Casa Playa Blanca situated on one of the most beautiful pristine beaches on the Nicoya Peninsula -- Playa Blanca, nestled between 2 world class surf breaks at Playa Junquillal and Playa Negra! Feel great that you are vacationing in one of the world's blue zones.
Relax on the secluded Playa Blanca with a good book and a cold beverage, or swim and snorkel in the clear water. The beach is accessible directly from the casa by way of a gently sloping private footpath.
Playa Junquillal is a long stretch of beach to the south and is perfect for walking and beach combing. You are likely to see some surfers and perhaps locals fishing off the rocks, and the occasional group of horseback riders, as well as several species of seabirds, and of course, the Turtle Sanctuary which rescues and hatches out turtle eggs. If there is a hatching, you can be part of releasing the tiny creatures into the sea.
The secure gated property offers privacy with direct access to the pristine Playa Blanca as well as a delightfully tranquil Bali style infinity edge pool which offers serenity both day and night for your exclusive private use. From the terraces and pool deck you will spot several species of birds and butterflies.
The 2200 square foot home accommodates up to 6 people and features an open concept living room, kitchen and dining area which anchors two full master suites to the north and south. Each suite has a large split system air-conditioning unit, full bath and private outdoor sitting area. The south bedroom has a king size bed and the north bedroom has 2 queen size beds.
For larger groups, a guest house on the property that sleeps 4 is available at extra cost. Note: Guest House will never be rented to parties other than those renting the main house.
There is a Pack 'N' Play available upon request.
Weekly housekeeping is included for rentals longer than 7 days. More frequent housekeeping can be arranged at additional cost.
Spend time relaxing in the private tranquil infinity pool overlooking the ocean, unwinding in the shaded hammocks or taking advantage of the many recreational activities available nearby, including:
• swimming
• surfing
• snorkelling
• stand up paddleboarding
• bird watching
• watching and protecting turtles
• adventure tours
• whale watching
• biking
• golf
• fishing
• horseback riding
• canopy tours
• kayaking
• beach walks
• breathtaking sunsets
Our property manager, Mary, can arrange numerous other activities and services such as massages, cooking, babysitting, and transportation.
We invite you to make your perfect Costa Rican getaway a reality. Take advantage of the opportunity to make great memories at Casa Playa Blanca.

We have been coming to Playa Junquillal for over 20 years, and this has been our favorite place to stay. (Even according to my 2 picky teenage daughters!) The house is beautiful. It is clean and secure. The grounds are lovely. The house is well-appointed with modern appliances and everything you need to cook or just graze on good snacks and frozen beverages. We used the path to Playa Blanca beach every day. It was a lovely walk in the morning while the teenagers slept in, but it was also the perfect spot to catch the sunset. The house is also close to Junquillal beach, where we would catch a few waves and a bite to eat at one of the many excellent restaurants. If you are looking for the perfect combination of relaxation and access to off-the-beaten-path fun and adventure, this is the place. We loved it!

Thank you for having us again Bob and Laura. Quite simply this is the most amazing place and I only wish I could have booked for longer. The new kitchen area is wonderful and with the windows it enhances the place.In short the best place to stay in Costa Rica on the most superb beach. 10/10 and absolutely wonderful. Can the budget stretch to another trip soon?

We were two couples, each with our own spacious bedrooms and bathroom. The house was beatiful inside and out. The beach was amazing. The pool was refreshing and the patios were shaded, but the pool was full sun. Mary offered up several restaurants to try and they were all fantastic.wWe love Lochitos and Corazon de las Pargas. The path to the beach changes with every tide which became one of our favorite things to watch. The path was easy our first day, but after that it became a fun and potentially dangerous hike. The beach is less for swimming but amazing to walk for seashells. I've never seen so many! Oh...and the sunsets!!!The AC was nice and cool. We'd turn it up durimg the day and it would cool off quickly in the evenings.Felix the cat is a real thing. He is always around and vocal. but the pool was usually full.sun..

This was our third trip to Costa Rica and our second stay at Casa Playa Blanca (aka Casa Andy). We wanted to escape the craziness of the COVID situation and the frenzy of the holidays. Casa Playa Blanca was a perfect solution with it’s remote location and peaceful outdoor space. More people were on the beach this visit than last time (July 2016), mainly local families. This was probably due to the holidays and dry season. Everyone respected social distancing. There were driving restrictions and curfews imposed by the government during our entire stay. As we had a rental car and didn’t drive at night, the restrictions did not hinder our activities. We had plenty of time to enjoy the beach even with the restrictive beach hours which began 2 days before our stay ended.There were a number of great restaurants and outdoor activities available in the immediate area between Playa Junquillal and Avellana. We spent many hours walking on the beach and exploring the tidal pools. While the Ostional turtle hatch wasn’t happening during our stay, we did spy several baby turtles in the surf. If you need crowds, shopping, and the nightlife, you won’t find that here. Head to Tamarindo or other points north to find those.Both bathrooms have been remodeled since our last visit with nice upgrades. Kitchen was stocked with all the equipment we needed. There is no TV and the Internet is spotty. We didn’t need either as we came to disconnect, so this did not detract from our enjoyment. The roads were still dirt but recently graded. This was as expected and probably helped to minimize the visitors. We utilized all of the gates, locks, and the alarm system and never had any problems with theft.The property manager Mary was very helpful and offered many suggestions for restaurants, catering, and interesting activities. Lochitas was highly recommended and we completely agree. We also had several meals from Lolas and Guacamaya during our stay. While dining in was an option for all of the restaurants we used, we did take out instead. Our biggest adventure was a four hour guided hike at Barra Honda National Park, about 1.5 hour drive. What a view with lots of wildlife! Yes, there’s more to do there than exploring dark caves.Thanks Bob and Laura for once again sharing your personal paradise with us!
