About this property

Five Bungalows, Swimming Pool and Amenities Amidst a Beachfront Forest.

Experience the feeling of unbound freedom and tranquility at LAS VELAS BLANCAS, COSTA RICA, where we have blended the designs of nature with relaxed comfort, simplicity, and beauty.

Unlike any other in its category, Las Velas Blancas is located at the southernmost point of Playa Grande with one hundred (100) meters of beachfront forest facing the breaking surf of Costa Rica’s Pacific Ocean, surrounded by evergreen mangrove forests to the east and south.

The property boasts five two-bedroom/bathroom bungalows, a two-story beachfront lounge, swimming pool, poolside kitchen, dining area and living area and teak floor yoga deck.

This property features five two-bedroom bungalows with ensuite bathrooms, equipped with a fully appointed kitchenette with a refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker, convection countertop oven, microwave oven, and electric skillet. All ten bedrooms are air conditioned, and Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. The property can welcome twenty (20) guests in ten (10) bedrooms.

Prices listed are for ten (10) bedrooms in five (05) bungalows: two (02) bedrooms per bungalow.

Each of the five beachfront bungalows consists of two (02) master bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a/c, a fully equipped kitchenette and a covered deck with living and dining area. Each unit has its own private grounds and beach access.

NOTE: For larger parties, along with these five bungalows, we can also open Casa Guayacan that sleeps up to sixteen (16) guests (please view VRBO listing number 1446872). The bungalows and the beach house together can accommodate up to thirty-six (36) guests.

The illuminated swimming pool is at the heart of the amenities area, with the main kitchen, dining facilities, living area and yoga deck on the east side, where a delightful fresh breeze flows constantly. Witness the silent beauty of the most spectacular sunsets.

A short five-minute walk on the beach takes you to the estuary, the natural barrier that separates Playa Grande from the lively surf town of Tamarindo, where you will find a wide variety of restaurants, cafés, shops, banks, pharmacies, supermarkets, night life, etc. Pangas (small boats) are always available to ferry you across for a US$2 per person per leg. The estuary is about one hundred (100) meters wide. The boat voyage across the estuary is about one minute.

We recommend our guests to consider our cook’s services. She offers a weekly menu with a variety of tried-and-true delicious recipes that she prepares reliably and consistently. The meals are prepared in the central kitchen and served at the poolside dining area.

Liberia International Airport is seventy (70) kms (43 miles) from Las Velas Blancas (about 75-minute drive, depending on traffic).

Tamarindo is twenty (20) kms from Las Velas Blancas by road (About 30 minutes drive). Tamarindo airport serves domestic flights.

Our concierge will assist you coordinating airport transportation, tours, activities, and rentals.

Amazing Place
This place is truly awesome. A gem in Costa Rica, we had a week long stay here and our wedding and we feel super lucky to have been able to have it here. The team on the ground are great and worked really hard to make the day a success as well as throughout the whole week. It's a perfect beach side location which is very hard to find in Costa Rica.

Wonderful family holiday!
We had a delightful stay at las Velas Blancas. Property was perfect for a family gathering, as we all had our own space and a lovely common space to gather. Definitely recommend the grocery delivery and cooking services!

Beautiful location
We traveled with four other families and had a truly wonderful time. The beach cannot be beat with expansive sandy beach and surfing waves. The kitchen team that we worked with to buy, cook, and clean kitchen was exceptional - reasonable prices for excellent breakfast and dinners prepared. Host was very responsive via Whats App during stay. During our visit we were mostly left to our own in the bungalows and shared villla and communicated needs (housekeeping, maintenance, questions) via What’s App during stay. We were moved to a new pool and shared kitchen/yoga studio building prior to stay after booking - that at first made me nervous but turned out to be flawless. New pool is a tad smaller but ideal location closer to bungalows that we had rented (we did not rent main house). Ended up staying at property most of our stay. Thank you for a beautiful visit, we will be back!

Amazing Family Vacation
This is our second return to the property. We had 27 family members and we rented all of the beach bungalows as well as the beach house. The surprising and wonderful thing that we got to experience was the new building on the south end of the property. A very large, open living space where we could have our breakfast and dinners together, as well as a new pool and yoga deck. It was absolutely fabulous! I love where this property is located. A short walk to the fun little town of Tamarindo via the estuary crossing, and the tranquil, peaceful beach vibe on Playa grande. we always felt very safe and all our needs were met. Manfred has always had excellent communication if anything were to arise. If you want to experience an authentic Costa Rican vacation vibe, book this property now! You will not be sorry the memories will be etched in your Heart forever. We hope and wish to come back.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I am an attorney at law, Notary Public, entrepreneur and politician. I was born in San José, Costa Rica. My family has owned the beach property since the 1970's. I was raised between San José and Playa Grande. My childhood was a dream building sand castles, water skiing, scuba diving, fishing and surfing in Playa Grande.

Why they chose this property

Las Velas Blancas is surrounded by Las Baulas Marine Park, rich with flora and fauna. Playa Grande exceeds every beach-enthusiasts expectations with perfect sand for castle-building, sea shells, sunsets, surf, crabs, sea-gulls and pelicans. Playa Grande offers the ideal beach experience.

What makes this property unique

The bungalows were built as close to the ocean as legally possible. The sound of the waves is soothing and inviting. The property is at the Southernmost point of Playa Grande. The privacy is unparalleled. The closest neighbor is 300 meters away from our beach-front bungalows.
