Welcome to Playa Negra Vacation Rentals, Jarrod and Meaghan, where we do our best to ensure a wonderful stay in Playa Negra.
** Rate shown is the base rate. Price will increase for groups of 5 or larger.

Casa Fuego sits on the best location in Playa Negra. Gazing over the beautiful infinity edge pool to the breaking waves at Playa Negra you will realize how good life is. The beach is located just beyond your gate so a day at the beach is just a few steps away. After a long day of relaxing, amazing sunsets will welcome you here every evening and will make your stay at Casa Fuego something you will never forget.

WHY PLAYA NEGRA? You're probably looking at multiple locations in Costa Rica. If a selection of uncrowded beaches, wild-life, a laid-back atmosphere, no high rise buildings, no franchises, multiple surfing breaks and tranquility are on your vacation agenda. Then the beach town of Playa Negra is a great place to kick back and enjoy your much needed time off. In Playa Negra you can capture the way Costa Rica used to be. If you want to visit a tourist town, it’s only half an hour drive to Tamarindo for shopping, Subway, the US style grocery store the 'AutoMercado' and shop after shop of souvenirs.

HOME INTERIOR LAYOUT: It is very important to point out that Casa Fuego does not have any handrails on the 2nd story and there are many drop offs around the pool and patio area. We like to let parents of young children know this. We have lot's of parents who bring young kids but it's a personal choice and you have to make sure to keep an eye on the kiddos. There are sliding doors to keep the children from accessing the porches and pool and patio area. The two story house features three bedrooms and one bath on the first floor. Two of the bedrooms open out on to the spacious first floor deck and pool area. All three main house bedrooms have air conditioning.
On the second floor a large living area with a wall of sliding glass doors offers you incredible ocean views. The sliding doors lead out to the second floor deck complete with a seating area and hammock to help you enjoy Casa Fuego’s million dollar view. Living area also includes a kitchen, with breakfast bar, large dining room table, TV/VCR and second bath. The 2nd floor has air-conditioning.
This house can accommodate more guests with an amazing separate second floor fully furnished efficiency apartment with kitchen and large bath. The apartment is air conditioned. This area also has an extra large, covered deck with amazing ocean views, a perfect place to enjoy the sunsets.
** This home also has WIFI, and telephone to keep you connected.

OUTSIDE: A large first floor covered deck with a table and chairs is the perfect setting for lunch and dinner. A beautiful infinity edge pool and deck with lounges complete this amazing outdoor living area. The second story deck affords amazing ocean views. Lush landscaping and an outdoor shower add to the tropical feel of this Costa Rica beach house.

Nice property with many conveniences close by (good restaurants, beach, small fruit markets). Owners were responsive and instructions were detailed.

The View was Great. The infinity pool was exquisite. The house itself was just as represented or better. The hotel beach restaurant just short walk from property was a really neat amenity to enjoy. Tho the beach is more of a surf than swim spot, it was entirely possible to spend time playing in the shallows!

We had an amazing time during our stay at Casa Fuego. The communication and information ahead of and during the stay were very thorough and helpful. Meaghan and Jarrod set up a chat group for us and during our stay both Meaghan and Jarrod, as well as Mike, PJ, Rafa, and the pool guy all helped us out and were available to answer questions and assist us. Thank you to all! The house, pool, views were all spectacular - better than the pics. The beach was clean with beautiful sand just outside the gate. To the south there were some really cool volcanic rock formations and cove a little way down that had some really good snorkeling – saw tons of beautiful fish, including 2 puffer fish and a colorful eel. The Hotel Playa Negra was just a 2 minute walk on the beach to get meals and drinks in their Tiki restaurant/bar overlooking the beach and the surf. Lots of fun watching the surfers – some really talented ones too. Had some great meals at local restaurants, including a very special evening at Mycelium – great story behind the owners travels worldwide and path to opening their restaurant in Playa Negra. Look up Kamu – her cookbooks are fantastic. Drove up to Tamarindo for an afternoon and had lunch. Very different vibe there – busy, lots of traffic, very touristy, beach not nearly as nice as Playa Negra. Was glad to get back to the serenity of Casa Fuego. All in all a great trip – would rent here again and recommend it to others.

The overall property is really a paradise, but there are just a few things which make it more of a 4.5 star. (I will say, I am a hard grader and I figured more people read the 4 versus 5s to get a real idea of the place.) The place really is great, updated kitchen, wonderful pool, felt nearly like a private beach. The reason I knocked it down is because the primary mattress was hard, husband was less bothered by it. And, the living room furniture was uncomfortable. Really didn't get a relaxing sit anywhere except outside on the lounge chairs -- but I can't sleep out there. We only went and looked at the second flat -- that had a kitchen that could use a little updating (but I imagine most couples would just put their kids out there and have most meals in the main eating area.) I was a little unnerved by all their warnings about locking everything up in the vault... but never felt unsafe. Property manager were great and attentive. Along with no balcony rails, their are no handrails down the interior stairs and the steps are higher than uniform height. I nearly stumbled a couple times and had to be very mindful (and I teach yoga) -- might not be the best for drunks or small kids. Finally, they need handles on the exterior of glass doors, so it's easier for people to slide the doors closed from the outside (so I don't have to nag my son to not cool the outside -- I do not think it's a deterrent for thieves) & curtains on the upstairs windows to block the hot afternoon sun just before the wonderful sunsets each and every night. A/C was great. Overall, would rent it again, just wish for more comfortable furniture.
