Why Rick Mullen chose Playa Grande
It took more than 5 years of exploring, comparing homes and locations in Costa Rica to find the perfect place to spend an annual escape from winter.
With a construction background, the dream was to find or build a small complex of units focused on outdoor living around a shared swimming pool and outdoor lounge area – a place to meet friends and family for an annual escape. Simple living, good neighbors, a beach home close to both surf and swimming pool, air conditioning and outdoor living, insisting on solid construction, open living, cleanliness and comfort.
Sunshine Villa was so perfect, the deal was closed within a month - this after 5 years of searching It’s been one of the best decisions made and now looking forward to sharing this tropical escape with you.

Amazing, Perfect, Wonderful, Stunning... Shall I go on??
We stayed at this wonderful bungalow for a week with my Fiance and another couple. The bungalow was absolutely perfect. It blew our expectations out of the water. It had everything we needed AND MORE. The bungalow was clean, tidy, well-kept, and in a perfect location. We were able to walk to the beach within 2 minutes and had the pool all to ourselves. It was nice to have the option of the pool and beach and do both in one day! The bungalow's kitchen was extremely clean and fully equipt, we were able to cook meals (and make pina coladas) in the house. The bedrooms both had huge beds and A/C (which was a wonderful surprise). The owners were extremely friendly and welcomed us upon arrival. They were very accessible whenever we needed anything and were around to answer any questions or give us suggestions on where to eat and visit. The area is quiet, safe, and close to many amazing resturants. We will DEFINITELY be staying here again and would recommend this place to anyone. It would be great for people of all ages!!! The owners have everything you need and more. We loved finding pool floaties, games, and lawn chairs to watch the stunning sunsets each night. We are already planning our next visit!
Fun Family Vacation
The villa was wonderful for our family of four. I loved having two bedrooms so the kids didn't have to share a room with us. The common area is large and kitchen has everything you need to do some cooking. The market around the corner had more American products than the Super Sized one in Tamarindo so check that one first if you are looking for something familiar (assuming you are American of course - LOL). With only six villas in the property the pool was always free for a dip which was nice in the afternoons when the beaches were a little too rough for our little ones. The owner was delightful coming by twice in the week. We really enjoyed working with her as everything went smoothly. My only surprise was that the villa only had air conditioning in the bedrooms and not throughout. Not a deal breaker for us since sleeping was the time we needed it most but just sharing for others.
Wonderful stay
We stayed at this condo for the month of Feb. and fell in love with it so much so that we are going back for the month of Feb. / 2016.😄 The condo was equipped with everything we needed and anything we didn't have the owner was more than helpful to accommodate us. It's the perfect spot around an awesome center pool away from the busyness of Tamorindo which is a nice walk down the beach .Love love love it
COULDSTAY4EVER
My husband and our 2 teenage daughters spent a week at the beach bungalow. We absolutely loved it. We found the bungalow to be very comfortable and truly enjoyed the simplicity of the location. SURF, SURF, SURF! The owner of the property came by to educate us on the home and surroundings which was very helpful. We requested a grill and she dropped one by later. She even called a couple days into our stay to check up on us. We have rented several homes throughout the years and this has never happened. My only recommendation would be to add a place to have dinner as a family. We sat around the coffee table and it worked out. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful casa with us. We were soooooooo sad to have to leave.
Playa Grande February 2014
Our stay at Playa Grande was incredible. The condo is clean and well kept and nicely decorated. We had plenty of room and all our needs were met above and beyond. The garden was beautiful and the gardener (Eric) even chopped fresh coconuts down for us. The location was perfect, walking distance to the beach and two lively restaurants and a corner grocery store. It was only a short walk to catch a boat taxi to Tamarindo, an experience we highly recommend. We rented a car and found that it was very easy to get around. We drove to many locations and never found ourselves lost but were slowed down with the odd cow crossing ...LOL.
Shawna Mullen manages this property magnificently. She is well informed and has tons of contacts. She kept in touch by email regularly and made sure all our needs were met and questions answered.
We would highly recommend this property and hope to visit again soon!
Wonderful accommodations in Costa Rica!
This was our first trip to C.R. and had a wonderful time. Our accommodation at Charley 6, Sunshine Villa, was excellent. It was very comfortable and very convenient to the mercado, beach, pool, and wonderful restaurants. We had no idea what to expect and found everything delightful at the Villa. Highly recommend the Sunshine Villa to anyone visiting Playa Grande!
