Huge Artistic Surfers Beach Loft House, 2 bikes, 300mbps WIFI, washer, dryer

Great space, great location, very straightforward.

Our family of 4 had a lovely stay at Casa Chameleon. Sharr was very responsive, the space was open and lovely and the A/Cs in the bedrooms were divine. We loved using the bikes provided and a quick walk to the beach and Play Grande Surf Camp for lessons. Overall, another great stay at Playa Grande.

It was a bumpy start. Our hosts had somehow read our dates wrong, and the property wasn't ready for us upon arrival. We drove around in the dark looking for it after a full day of travel this was frustrating. We finally reached the host and got into the house around 8:00 p.m. Positives: the walk to the beach is short and sweet. The AC in the two bedrooms worked well. The host was responsive! The bicycles were great. Negatives: the 'beach' chairs we rented were actually camp chairs and not very comfortable for the rate charged. There was a 3 day wind event that took out the power and left a thick coat of dust everywhere. Despite saying that the unit would be cleaned, it wasn't. We never got fresh towels during our 10 day stay. The kitchen appliances were old (the blender had one speed that worked). The cooler that was for renter use had a long-broken zipper. The foliage surrounding the house was overgrown and we had to fight the jungle every time we wanted to get to our rental car. It also scraped the tin ceiling and made it sound like critters were constantly scampering, but it was just the trees. The photo on this ad is years old. Those trees are gigantic now. The screens were ripped and some of the windows in the loft had broken hardware. I really wanted to like this place, but instead of being great, it was okay.

Casa Camaleon's surf shack has been made with a lot of love. It was a pleasure to stay there. From the exotic art on the walls, the candles, spacious kitchen and open feel, cutlery housed in a coconut and the trees surrounding the house, this house has all the big and small touches. It was a haven after many long days hanging out at the beach, surfing, walking/water taxiing across to Tamarindo etc. And it's only a 5 min walk to the beach which most days you have all to yourself. It's the perfect place for a bunch of people who want to get away from it all and enjoy their own holiday by the beach. And you'll be in great hands with Kristi, the manager, for whom nothing is too much trouble. I'd definitely return and I have no hesitation in recommending Casa Camaleon. Thanks for a fantastic stay!
