About this property

Beachfront Villa in Playa Grande: Private Pools, Family-Friendly, On-site Staff

  • Casa Mirage – True Beachfront Villa in Playa Grande

    Private Pools • Walkable • Ideal for Families & Groups • Staffed & Secure

    Step directly from the villa onto the sand—no roads, no crowds. Casa Mirage is a spacious oceanfront home on Playa Grande, offering private pools, generous indoor–outdoor living, and a calm beach setting that guests consistently appreciate for family and group stays.



    Why Guests Choose Casa Mirage
    • True beachfront location with direct access and unobstructed ocean views
    • Two private pools, including a shallow wading pool for children
    • Excellent layout for families and groups, comfortably accommodating up to 16 guests
    • Quiet, uncrowded beach with surf directly out front
    • Walkable location near restaurants, surf shops, and local services



    The Space

    Casa Mirage is a 5,100 sq ft air-conditioned oceanfront villa with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, designed to accommodate families and multi-generational groups while still offering privacy and separation when needed.

    The home features:
    • Fully equipped kitchen with gas stove, two refrigerators, dishwasher, and drinking-water filtration
    • Open indoor living areas that flow onto shaded verandas
    • Upper and lower balconies with panoramic ocean views
    • Wi-Fi and cable TV

    Covered outdoor spaces include a large dining table, hammocks, rocking chairs, and lounge seating—well suited for relaxed meals, conversation, and sunset viewing.

    • Bedroom 1: 1 Queen, 1 Twin
    • Bedroom 2: 1 Queen
    • Bedroom 3: 2 Queens, 1 Twin

    All bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms.



    Pools
    • Main in-ground pool
    • Separate shallow wading / kiddie pool

    The pool area sits between the villa and the beach, making it easy to move between swimming, supervising children, and enjoying the ocean throughout the day.



    Outdoor Setting

    With no roads or obstructions between the home and the shoreline, guests enjoy easy access to the beach and a strong connection to the natural setting—whether surfing and boogie boarding out front, walking the wide shoreline, or relaxing by the water in the evening.

    As with most beachfront homes in Costa Rica, the open-air setting means you may see local wildlife such as birds, monkeys, geckos, or iguanas during your stay.



    Location – Playa Grande

    Playa Grande is known for its wide, clean, and uncrowded beach, offering a relaxed atmosphere that many guests prefer over busier neighboring areas.
    • Approximately 1 hour from Liberia International Airport (LIR)
    • About 20 minutes to Tamarindo for additional shopping, dining, and nightlife
    • Walkable to restaurants, surf shops, yoga classes, spa services, and board rentals

    Local conveniences include grocery options, bakery deliveries, and a weekly outdoor market with live music and vendors.

    Playa Grande is a quiet, residential beach community, and we ask guests to be mindful of neighbors, especially in the evenings.

    Other Things to Note

    Some local services and gratuities are best paid in cash; ATMs are available nearby but may have withdrawal limits.



    Additional Properties

    Casa Mirage is part of Villas de Playa Grande, a family-owned collection of beachfront homes. The neighboring villa, Villa Olivia, is also available for guests traveling with extended family or larger groups—please inquire if interested.



    A Note from the Owners

    Casa Mirage has long been a place for family gatherings, beach days, and shared meals overlooking the ocean. We’re pleased to offer it to guests who value time together and the simple pleasure of staying steps from the sea.

    Pura Vida,
    The Gordon Family
