3BR Villa in Playa Hermosa

Amethyst

Excellent, 2 weeks ago

Maud is a wonderful and thoughtful host. From the moment we booked, she was warm, responsive, and quick to answer any questions. Her home is peaceful and welcoming, with a wonderful sense of tranquility throughout. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with a wider array of cooking essentials than we typically find in vacation rentals. One of our favorite features was the beautiful private pool. We’ve stayed at homes where the pools were too cold to enjoy, but Maud’s was the perfect temperature—a lovely place to relax and unwind. The nearby beach is striking, with soft volcanic black sand and powerful waves creating a beautifully dramatic setting. Maud thoughtfully shared important beach safety information about the strong rip tides and crocodiles farther down the beach, which we truly appreciated. One evening, we returned to the sweetest happy birthday note waiting for us—a thoughtful touch that made our stay even more special. We would happily return! 💜

Thank you 2 for staying at my house! It was a pleasure to have you here! Welcome back anytime 🩵🩵🩵

Maud's house in Playa Hermosa, Garabito, is a really beautiful place. It is located a few meters from the sea, in a privileged setting next to the Playa Hermosa-Punta Mala National Wildlife Refuge. The property is fully equipped and offers all the comforts for a comfortable stay. In our case, eight of us from the family traveled, and we all had a very pleasant experience. The pool was a great added value, especially for sharing with the family and for the kids to have fun. Maud was an excellent host: she was always attentive to our queries and quickly addressed any needs. In addition, the check-in instructions were very clear, so the check-in process was simple and hassle-free. It's definitely a place we'd recommend and would gladly go back to when we have the chance.

A beautiful house with all the comforts to enjoy a few days with the family. In a safe, private condominium close to the beach. We had everything we needed in the house. The host is very friendly, kind, and always attentive to our needs. We really enjoyed the pool. The best thing is that it's pet-friendly 10/10 100% recommended.

Thank you, Suzana, for staying at my place 🩵 I hope to see you again soon 🙏

Maud’s place was perfect for my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens). It was a relief to spread out a bit after being cramped together in hotel rooms in San Jose and Manuel Antonio. The pool is amazing and seeing/hearing macaws in the trees behind her property was a special treat. The beach is a block away and Pizza Pata is quite possibly the best pizza in all of Costa Rica!! Maud also recommended we visit Rainmaker and the tide pools at Esterillos Oeste which were spot-on excursions for us.
