Playa Grande Loft 2 - Full Kitchen - Starlink WiFi - Sleeps 3 - Walk to Surf | Apartment in Santa Cruz (Playa Grande is a beach community within the Santa Cruz canton)
1 Bedroom Apartment in Playa Grande, Santa Cruz (Playa Grande is a beach community within the Santa Cruz canton)
Playa Grande doesn't need much of an introduction. The surf is world-class, the beach is uncrowded, and once you arrive, you'll understand why people keep coming back.
Loft 2 is a bright, open unit on a quiet private road just off Playa Grande's main entrance — 10 minutes on foot from one of Costa Rica's most celebrated surf breaks and the protected shoreline of Las Baulas National Marine Park. It works equally well for a week with your partner, a trip with two friends, or a family that wants a comfortable home base without paying resort prices.
The loft has a queen bed and twin bed (sleeps 3), full kitchen, Starlink high-speed WiFi, air conditioning, and Smart TV. The shared laundry room is steps away between Units 2 and 3 — one of the most convenient setups on the property if you're packing light for a longer trip. Outside, the patio with a bistro table and two chairs is where the day starts and ends. The shared outdoor shower is right next door for post-surf rinse-offs, and surfboard storage is out back. Dedicated parking right out front.
The property consists of two modern buildings side by side — five individual loft apartments total, each with its own private entrance. Relaxed and semi-private — you're part of a small community without it ever feeling like it.
Playa Grande is the quieter, less crowded alternative to nearby Tamarindo — same stunning Pacific coastline, same world-class surf, without the noise. The beach sits within Las Baulas National Marine Park, where leatherback sea turtles nest seasonally, and howler monkeys announce the sunrise from the treeline.
Everything you need is walkable — Pots & Bowls for fresh bowls and smoothies, a local bakery, Beach Break Surf Cafe, surf rentals, and several restaurants. Stock your kitchen at the newly opened Willsofy Supermarket, a full-service market with meat, canned goods, and everyday essentials just a short walk away. The Store, a neighborhood corner market next to the pharmacy, is perfect for personal items and a quick grocery run. There's also a local fruit stand nearby for fresh produce when the season is right. Tamarindo is 20 minutes by car from additional dining and nightlife. Liberia International Airport (LIR) is approximately 55 minutes away.
A few things that make the stay easier: complimentary mid-stay cleaning upon request, motorcycle and golf cart rentals arranged through our local partner Playa Grande Rentals and Tours, yoga nearby, and a complimentary Pack 'n Play available for families traveling with little ones — just ask.
Weekly and monthly discounts available. No hidden fees — the price you see is the price you pay. Offering the same stunning Pacific coastline, world-class surf, and rich wildlife — including seasonal leatherback turtle nesting in the adjacent Las Baulas National Marine Park.
Complimentary Pack 'n Play available upon request, subject to availability. Weekly and monthly discounts available.
