About this property

Camaleon 2 Beach Studio 🏄

Casa Camaleon is located in Palm Beach Estates which is a quaint and exclusively private community of Playa Grande. You will arrive at Palm Beach first through a gated entrance and then onto a narrow stone-covered road circling our community of only around 200 homes making our community feel welcome. 5 minutes from the front door to the beach sand, we are a short beach walk from the world-famous surf break of Playa Grande as well as several other popular surf beaches including our home break right out front which we call Palm Beach Main.
The Camaleon Cabinas is a small group of 5 private, self-contained apartments, owner-run with specific attention to detail. Tropical garden. Fenced yard. The decor is ethnic boutique-style simply done but perfectly sufficient. We have 2 x studio apartments and 3 x two-bedroom apartments. Each apartment is fully equipped with kitchenware, modern AC, free WIFI, all linens and towels, boards, and bikes onsite. It's everything we look for when we travel.
We are unique in our ability to offer affordable accommodation without compromising on what we found to be important amenities whilst still being right by the most beautiful beach and also close to the ferry which crosses over into Tamarindo for those who want to feel a little more hustle and bustle for the day. Palm Beach is in the center of the Marine Park for the Turtle nesting grounds. The beach is seemingly endless and always uncrowded. Great surf, stunning beach, countless wildlife of all kinds, quaint town, very good for the soul.

No Surprises
No surprises here, exactly as listed. Communication with the Host was always timely. They turned us onto a great transport service to and from Liberia Airport. This place is on the small side but had everything we needed for our stay. It was very clean and comfortable. The king bed was on the hard side and not the foam mattress we are used to but worked fine. The air con runs all the time and makes some noise but we like some white noise when we sleep. Easy walk to the beach and 3 restaurants. Cafe Mar Azul was by far the best. George make the best Mai Tai. The market is Very basic with no prices listed. We followed other’s advice and stoped on the way from the airport for supplies. Tamarindo has many grocery stores to choose from. We did not cook, just sandwiches, but the kitchen supplies are minimal and it would be difficult to cook much. Large refrigerator, hot plate and toaster oven. No microwave in our unit. 20-30 min walk and $2 ferry ride to Tamarindo. The beach is nice and flat with no rocks. There is minimal shade but we travel with our own chairs and shade. These along surf boards and bicycles can be rented close by. We also brought our own liquor along with mayonnaise and miracle whip. We would have no problem staying here again. Tip- if you are buying coffee the airport pricing is the same as we found in Tamarindo and if you buy 5 you get 2 free which is a good added savings. Costa Rican coffee is some of the best and I always stock up when there. Pura Vida

Relaxing & convenient casa next to Playa Grande
The casa had everything we needed to blissfully enjoy our week in the hot air of Costa Rica right next to a wonderful beach. Sharr is an amazing host and was always available for all our questions and needs. We would definitely go back again.

Good base camp for local exploration
This is a very nice affordable base camp for surfers and beach lovers around Playa Grande. The property was exactly as advertised. Very peaceful secluded spot. I will return for another stay.

Awesome place to stay
Casa Camaleon is a great place to stay in for all types of travellers. It is in a quiet location surrounded by lots of trees and wildlife. It’s a quick walk to the beach and local grocery mart. There are also a lot of restaurants within walking distance as well. The kitchenette in the apartment had everything I needed to prepare all of my meals. There is also an outdoor shower when you get back from the beach. I like the lockbox key system as well, so you never have to worry about bringing your room key to the beach or having to hide it somewhere. The owner Sharr is also great to deal with and very knowledgeable about the area and can recommend all types of things to do and see. Overall it was a perfect place to stay.

About the host

Host profile image
We have lived in Costa Rica for over 13 years now and in Central America for over 20 years. We love this country and enjoy sharing what we have learned. It's a peaceful and magical place. We have two properties - Camaleon our budget cabinas and Rustica which is our newest property consisting of two slightly higher-end one-bedroom houses sharing a double lot. Between the options, we hope to offer what any traveler may need. We love meeting new people from around the world.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

The closeness of nature. Big teak trees, howler monkeys, parrots, fruits trees, hummingbirds and of course camaleons!
