We absolutely loved the house for our week long stay. The views and sunsets are spectacular, the house is new and modern, each room has a nice bathroom, the kitchen and living area feel great, the pool was perfect for the kids, and the community felt safe. There is a mini market near the entrance which was very convenient.

I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at the tunnel to paradise. Thanks again for being great guests. Pura Vida
Lisa’s home was amazing and just exactly as described. Plenty of room for our two families w kids (they loved the bunk room)! The view from the main living out to the pool was breathtaking and made every sunset a showstopper. Lisa was exceptionally responsive and offered perfect recommendations on restaurants and activities, which made our trip feel effortless. The house manager Rebecca and everyone at the property management company (Zindis) was amazing! HIGHLY Recommend you stay here if you have the opportunity. Can’t say enough about how perfect this trip was.

Thanks again for being great guests and staying with us. So happy that you loved the house and it was a trip of a lifetime. Nothing beats those sunset views. Pura Vida
You will not be sorry if you book this amazing home. With 4 Masters the adults had their own private spaces and the kids bunk room was perfect. There were 15 of us 8 adults and 7 children and had plenty of space. Pool and view are spectacular. Beds were a bit firm for my liking but that’s just preference. Everyone in our party gave it a 10! Navy the ; year old insists she’s going to live in this house when she is grown up 😘 would definitely stay here again Pura Vida
We had an amazing time at Tunnel to Paradise. Lisa, Rebeca, and Javier were extremely responsive and did a fantastic job making us feel welcome and helping us to plan our trip. The villa is absolutely breathtaking and looks exactly like the photos. It felt very private and we would return again in a heartbeat. Cannot recommend enough if you are looking for a relaxing stay in Playa Hermosa!

This house was AMAZING for a Fall getaway with some friends! Seriously the pictures don’t do the view justice. We had a blast! Every room is set up with an ocean view and its own bathroom so every couple felt like they had their own master suite. Very cool spot and will definitely book again when we come back to CR.

Thank you for staying with us. So glad the house was perfect for your group. Look forward to you returning. Pura Vida!
We stayed at this home from July 10 -15, 2025. We had 8 family members total and the view was breathtaking and the sunsets were gorgeous. We loved hearing and seeing the birds in the morning by the pool. The dining area table was perfect for playing family games and enjoying good food. We all felt very safe with all the security that is there along with the alarm system. Rebecca and Javier were amazing and answered all of our questions and was very helpful in planning our days. We will definitely be going back to relax by this spacious home and amazing pool.

Thanks again for staying with us Derrick. We’re so happy you loved the house. Thanks for being great guess and we would love to host you again.
We had an amazing experience staying at Lisa’s place in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica. The property was spotless, peaceful, and just minutes from the beach. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying our morning coffee with a view was a daily highlight. Lisa was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and full of helpful recommendations for local restaurants, beaches, and activities. She truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The space was well-equipped with strong Wi-Fi, great air conditioning, and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base in Playa Hermosa. Highly recommend Lisa’s place—we’ll definitely be back!

Thank you Elizabeth for staying with us and being wonderful guests. We are glad you enjoyed the Tunnel to Paradise home and Playa Hermosa.
Our stay started with the property management taking us to the wrong house. Once we got to the correct house we were more than thrilled with the house. Great views, awesome house and amazing pool. Unfortunately that’s where our Paradise ended. 5 hours after we arrived and had gone to bed. My 19yo daughter woke up to a man in her room reaching under her covers. Once we all were awaken we realized we had been robbed. Cell phones, money, jewelry and the most precious our children’s sense of security. The onsite security and property owner DO NOT have a 24hr phone line. We had to physically travel down to the guard shack to wake up the guard to let them know what had happened. There are security cameras around the house. We learned they were not recording and one near the room my daughter stayed was filled with sand or desiccant as we learned it had water damage. The property manager and owner did respond and were helpful after the fact. Just be careful when choosing this AirBnb.

The property is equipped with seven exterior cameras and an alarm system connected to the security officer’s post. Six of the seven cameras were online and recording; video footage did not show any individuals entering or exiting during the night. No alarms were triggered and there was no indication of forced entry or broken windows or glass. The property is located in the Monte Bello neighborhood, a private gated community with 24/7 armed security guards. Guest safety is a shared responsibility between hosts and guests. House safety instructions are clearly printed and displayed next to the alarm panel, detailing the importance of closing and locking all doors and windows and setting the alarm system before bedtime. On this occasion, these recommendations were not observed.
We had an amazing week at Tunnel to Paradise! Nothing beats the view and sunset! It was an incredible layout with spacious rooms and great outdoor space. We added daily cleaning through the concierge service and it was really worth the extra cost. The concierge was extremely helpful in planning excursions and even following up the day after to see how we enjoyed. Highly recommend Lisa’s beautiful home!

Thanks for staying with us Elana. Pura Vida
Pictures will never be able to show how beautiful this place truly is. Absolutely jaw dropping and all around amazing experience. On our last day we decided not to leave the Airbnb and cancelled our excursions to stay in the pool all day until that beautiful sun set. Very clean, absolutely beautiful view and the layout of the house is perfect. Lisa is a great host and gave me a lot of restaurant and local recommendations throughout the booking period. The Zindis property group with Javier, were absolutely amazing with booking excursions, private chefs as well as local recommendations. We are very grateful for Javier with his attentiveness and extreme care! 10/10 recommend, don’t even think about anywhere else!
We were a group of three families with children between the ages of 6-12. This house was a hit with both the children and the parents! We had plenty of space to lounge around the pool or in the family room and kitchen area. The view was absolutely stunning, and the house was well appointed with everything we needed. The downside of the beautiful windows and views is the AC units in the bedrooms had trouble keeping up unless the shades were closed which wasn’t a big deal since we spent so much time in the main areas and outside. This is a lovely home in a great location and perfect for groups. Zindis was fantastic and responded quickly to anything we needed. Highly recommended Chef at Home CR and a day on a catamaran with Captain Charlie!

Thanks again for staying with us. Glad you had a wonderful time
It was a lovely home for our family vacation! Will definitely look to rent this place again!
The views from Lisa’s home are simply incredible and the home is so well laid out. Whether it’s lounging by the pool during the day or by the fire pit in the evening, it’s the perfect backdrop for relaxation and great conversations. The Sunset Cruise Lisa recommended was amazing and the chefs are also outstanding. We also found our favorite tree house restaurant Ginger. It was an unforgettable experience.
Lisa’s home was even more beautiful than the pictures! We had such an amazing stay we are already planning our next trip back. Lisa was very responsive and kind. She connected us with Zindis and they were FANTASTIC . They helped us book activities, dinner reservations and more. The house was absolutely stunning and the kitchen was well stocked. Couldn’t recommend a better place to stay in beautiful Costa Rica!
