June 29-July 9 The house was beautiful and roomy for our family of 14. The pool was a big hit for everyone.The neighborhood restaurants and short walk to the beach were wonderful. Our last night was upsetting because a laptop, watch and headlamp were discovered missing from a backpack that evening. Be vigilante and Lock your rooms at all times!! Housekeepers, gardeners and pool man had access several times. We did not know their schedule. We were trusting and lazy after 9 days. Also we had a unconcerned/nonresponse from the host and we had to leave in the morning. There is one security camera which should have showed something. Activities nearby that we enjoyed were zip lining in the Monkey Jungle, surf lessons, deep sea fishing, shopping in Tamarindo and visiting nearby beaches. It was a great vacation.

Overall, the property was great. It was much larger than it seemed online. The rooms were all very spacious, escpecially the master. The house is perfectly located- next to several great restaurants, a 2 minute walk to the beach, and close to Tamarindo, numerous gerat beaches, and close enough to the airport. The Manager was fantastic and provided ideas, introductions, and made sure that everything was going great.

Casa Malinche Grande is a fantastic house in Playa Grande, in a super convenient location. The highlights were the two minute walk to the beach, the beach club next door with tons of food options like amazing sushi (like really!), burgers, cocktails, draft beer, coffee, and ice cream, the great pool and outdoor lounge area, and the living room to hang out in and stay cool during the heat of the day. Our group was three families with kids of varying ages so the convenience of having close by amenities was crucial. The house grounds were well kept. The house itself is nice, but there are a few things that need attention like the sliding doors, and an ant problem in one of the rooms when we arrived, but these things aren’t uncommon in Costa Rica, so I wouldn’t let it deter you from booking. Ludwig, who handles the maintenance was such a kind and welcoming person, and helped us with any requests we had. There are cleaners who will come every other day (or so) to clean the house, which is great for longer stays. When you arrive, if you need anything like soap, or paper towels, just ask and they will bring it for you. Playa Grande as a location is awesome as it’s still small and developing unlike nearby Tamarindo, but just be aware of that if you’re considering the area and you’re unfamiliar with it. The wave is really good, and the locals were friendly enough. Ripjack’s restaurant is super good. Food and various services seemed similar price to the USA, so don’t surprised!

Very poor directions to the house and hard to find at night for the first time. No links or maps showed house in correct location. just had to drive around to find it. sliding door didn't lock and no safes in house so we didn't feel safe leaving our passports there when we weren't there. most of the shower heads were so plugged with hard water that i had to remove and clean the 4 we used regularly. The master bathroom had a light out so the only light that worked was in the shower. On information do with any instruction, No check out procedure. I had reach out and never got a response so we did what we normally do and striped beds, took trash out and started load of towels. There are Definity some things the house management company need to do better to service the house owner and the guests that stay here,
