Welcome to Casa Ultima. Our beachfront villa consists of a newly completed 2-story home with 2 fully-equipped kitchens, 2 master bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a 1000 sq. ft. roof-top terrace/bar overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean. The beach house was designed to provide ocean views from every room and the spacious decks offer excellent vantage points for surf photos and outdoor, seaside dining.

Our property is located within Las Baulas National Marine Park, which is a nesting site for leatherback turtles. Playa Grande is world famous for its excellent surf, and there are 5 breaks just steps from the house. All of the surfing photos found on this site were taken in front of the house.

Review Submitted: January 9, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
What a glorious place Casa Ultima is not only because it's located on one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever had the pleasure to spend time on, Allan and Terry are fantastic people. They helped us with surf boards, bikes, transportation from and to the airport, directions to various locations as well as helping us find additional housing for an other couple in our group. Allan and Terry even took the time to fetch us so that we could join them in viewing some Rosette Spoonbills--first sighting in two years. The property is well maintained, comfortable, and private. Viewing sunsets from the roof top terrace never disappointed. Making meals from available fresh produce and fish purchased from the back of a fisher's truck so much fun. An we made some good memories eating at Rip Jacks and the Hotel Tortuga. Our stay at Casa Ultima provided us with one amazing vacation. Highly recommend staying at Casa Ultima.

Excellent House and Location

Review Submitted: November 20, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
My friends and I recently stayed at Casa Ultima and throughly enjoyed our stay. Alan and Terry were fantastic hosts with great recomendations on what to do, where to go, etc. The house was set up perfect for our group, and loved that both levels of the house were very private. Our trip was focused on surfing and relaxation and this house was perfect for that. We were able to check the surf from the balcony, and were plesantly surprised with the limited people surfing the break right in front of the house. This was my second time to Playa Grande, but first at this house. I'll be back and staying here again as it was a better location on the beach then the other rentals. It's the last house on the beach which keeps the crowds down. They also had bikes and surf boards to rent which was super convenient.

tranquil spring break

Review Submitted: April 18, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We rented the upper and lower floors ( for family of five) and found it very relaxing. The property's relative secluded location and tranquility of the near-empty beach allowed for unencumbered exploration and relaxation. Thanks to Bridget for her local referrals and assistance with activities.

Best Vacation of Our Lives!!!!!

Review Submitted: January 17, 2011 Date of Stay: December 2010
My wife and I stayed at Casa Ultima for our honeymoon and were treated to the absolutely best honeymoon and vacation of our lives. When we were first booking our trip we were looking for a very particular place with natural beauty, great surf, but also a luxurious place to stay with ocean views. It was extremely hard to find all three in all of Costa Rica. We read the surf guides and decided on Playa Grande. Then we read the reviews for Casa Ultima and booked our honeymoon. We were simply blown away by the beauty of the area, the quality of the surf, and most of all the luxury at Casa Ultima.

If you are coming to Playa Grande with your wife, girlfriend, family, etc, there are no real hotel options. All of the hotels cater to the guys only surf trip. If you are planning on bringing your significant other, you have to rent a house. We rented the second floor at the Casa Ultima. Casa Ultima is the most private house on Playa Grande in the absolute best location, with the best views by far. It is directly on the beach and there are tremendous views from every single room in the entire house: bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living room, front deck and roof deck. The other houses are lower to the ground so the views are not as good. You can lift your head up in the morning from your bed to check the surf, it is really that impressive. The house is pratically brand new with the best updating possible, granite kitchen and bathroom, travertine floors, fresh crisp linens, etc. It is like staying at a five star hotel.

The area of Playa Grande is truly a paradise. Right in front of Casa Ultima is a great surf break that is uncrowded. You can also walk 1 minute to the left and surf the main break, which is a heavy A frame wave that attracts a few more people but is always very spread out and very manageable. There seems to always be surf at Playa Grande, I was there in December, which not known for the best surf and it was chest to head high with offshore winds every day.

Playa Grande is an uncrowded long white sand beach with crystal clear tourquoise water. We visited many beaches in Costa Rica and this beach was the most beautiful by far. From Casa Ultima, you can also walk to the right and enjoy an even more isolated beach. It is a long white sand beach that is totally secluded. In fact, every time we walked down that beach from the house, we were the only ones on the entire beach. What an incredible vacation, we will be back many times!!!

WOW!

Review Submitted: July 18, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
We wanted to extend a very gracious thank you for everything during our stay at Casa Ultima. I am still amazed that we stumbled upon Casa Ultima while looking for a place to stay in Playa Grande. You were an excellent host and the price was incredible. As we headed down the coast we did not find any lodgings comparable to Casa Ultima in price, luxury, location, etc...We also did not find an area that we liked as much as Playa Grande. The surfing, location, and overall experience was the best we had in two weeks in Costa Rica!
