Area: This is the ultimate place for a beach vacation, the beach and waves of the famous Playa Grande just outside your door and then the many attractions of Tamarindo and the surrounding towns nearby.
Playa Grande beach is a wonderful place for collecting shells and there is also a wonderful huge rock that you can climb that is surrounded by wonderful rock pools full of shells and marine creatures. There is also a beautiful black sand beach with many wonderful shells in the next cove a short stroll from your house.
If you are lucky enough to be at the beach between January to March - this is also the sight of the Leatherback Turtles nesting grounds and you can arrange special tours to see them come up onto the beach at night to nest and watch the young nestlings scamper to the water at day break. Rules: All guests are required to maintain distance from Sea Turtles, and watch where they step to avoid turtle eggs in the sand.
Tamarindo, a wonderful bustling tourist town, can be accessed by strolling along the beach and catching a boat across the estuary or by car. The walk is about 45 minutes and then very quick boat ride (only available in daylight hours and costs about $1 each way). Many people swim or walk across the estuary but for me $1 was worth the dry clothes on the other side. Tamarindo has many wonderful shops and restaurants as well as a beautiful beach.
You can also take a boat ride down the estuary; early morning is the best time, and view the wonderful wild life in the area
Ski:
Water skiing only.
Golf:
We saw all sorts of birds and numerous crocodiles and our driver also found us a huge family of howler monkeys a short walk from the banks.
For those with children a visit to the monkey hospital is a must - the volunteers will let you hold the baby howler monkeys.
For those of you wanting a beach vacation this is the ultimate location, the house is fantastic, it comes with daily maid service and a cook can also be organized. The Costa Rican people are very friendly and the area is a wonderfully interesting place to visit.

Just a note to let you know about our stay at Costa Palmera. The house was
awesome. The pictures online don't really do it justice. Everyone had plenty
of space....roomy, yet cozy at the same time! The bathrooms were like mini
spas. The pool with the waterfall was refreshing break from the salt water.
The views from the house and especially the sound of the ocean were
something we aren't accustom to here on the East coast. Giant waves and no
crowds on the beach. It was almost private. We wo
