The Pipe House: The Pipe House is a small beach house with a unique concept located in Playa Grande, Guanacaste. This vacation rental offers 6 bedrooms, each with a queen bed and individual A/C unites; what makes them unique is that they are built entirely by hand within recycled concrete pipes, thus, the name. Four bathrooms , two for men and two for women, a ranch area with a fully equipped kitchen and BBQ are part of this wonderful house located just a two minute walk from the beautiful Playa Grande.
