Tunnel to Paradise - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

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!

We are so happy you loved our house.  Thanks again for staying with us and being great guests.  Pura Vida

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!

Thank you again for staying with us.  So happy to hear you had an amazing vacation.  Pura Vida

We loved staying at this property. It is indeed Tunnel to paradise. Beautiful views and a very clean house. It has anything you need.

Thanks for staying with us. Glad you enjoyed the tunnel to paradise

Beautiful view and stunning sunsets. The concierge is extremely helpful and booked transportation and excursions for our family. The main living area is spacious and accommodated large groups very well. The outdoor area has several seating options which is appreciated. The walk up the hill is no joke- to get to the beach the walk is 20 min and you need to be prepared for the incline of the walk to the house. Once you arrive  you are rewarded with a wonderful view. The market at the base of the hill is convenient for staples. Gated community. They walked us through security very thoroughly of how to lock house up. Would recommend a safe onsite for guests to secure passports and valuables. The mattress comfort could be improved with the use of mattress pads. We had an issue accessing the house when the code didn’t work. Make sure you bring the keys or fob so you aren’t stuck outside. Costa Rica is beautiful with kind people and delicious food.

Thanks again for staying with us and your recommendations.   We will look into both of them.

Amazing! This house was incredible. Clean and the view was incredible! Lisa was an absolute pleasure! She answered all my questions. Highly recommend!

Amazing location and beautiful home. Lisa stayed in touch and made sure our stay was great. The concierge was also responsive and full of recommendations. I would highly recommend this place for large families, couples, or whomever wants to enjoy a nice spot with a scenic view!

Great house with an awesome view. Lisa was super easy to work with.

So glad you enjoyed your time in playa Hermosa and at the tunnel to paradise.  Pura Vida

Beautiful home with excellent guality of construction and beautiful view of the Pacific. Five minutes to Playa Hermosa but definitely need a car.  Also only 30 minutes to the airport which is a big plus.  Or family enjoyed the stay.

Lisa’s place was absolutely incredible. We had no complaints at all!! Thank you and we will definitely be back again!

Thanks Annie. So glad you had a great time.  We would love to host you again

The house was beautiful, clean and the view was amazing ocean view looking

This place is amazing. Highly recommend! Hope to be back soon!

Thanks for being great guests.  Glad you enjoyed the tunnel to paradise.  Would love to host you again.

What an ideal place to have a family outing.  House was spacious and the children loved the pool.

Tunnel to Paradise was exactly that! This house is amazing and truly felt like we were living in paradise! The check in was easy and the house was immaculate and beautiful. It fit our family of 12 perfectly! Although it rained most of our time there the few hours of outdoor time we got was so nice. The backyard and pool is so relaxing with a beautiful view! We can not wait to come back!

Thanks again for staying with us.  Glad our home was perfect for your 12 guests.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The pictures do not do this house justice. It was absolutely breath taking. The owners and design team did such an amazing job designing the house. From Lisa to the Zindis team, thank you! You guys went above and beyond to make our family vacation worth while. Thank you! I HIGHLY recommend staying at Lisa’s place especially with a large group. The house came with all the necessities you will need to cook and the house is one story which is great for older family members and kids. The management team made sure we were squared away everyday by checking in and seeing if we needed anything which was extremely helpful.

Thank you Taylor.  We would love to have you stay with us again.  So glad our house exceeded your expectations.  Pura Vida.

Our family love Lisa’s house. It was a beautiful house located on top of the mountain with an amazing infinity pool and view of the surrounding areas. We all loved waking up to the beautiful sunrise! Highly recommended if you’re in the area.

Thanks Hue.  Glad you loved staying at the tunnel to paradise and those beautiful sunset views.

5 stars from start to finish. The house was exceptionally clean, spacious and fully stocked with everything you need. The view is amazing from almost every room in the house, particularly the living room. There is a market just down the the block if you need to pick up grocery items although I used Zindis (the management company). The house sits within a gated community and very close to playa hermosa, 15 min from playa coco and 25 minutes from ocotal. I would definitely stay here again.

Thanks Christian for staying with us.  Glad you enjoyed your stay in the tunnel to paradise.

Tunnel To Paradise is purely a hidden gem!  The photographs don't do any justice to the pure breathtaking beauty that awaits your eyes in person!  The Home is well-appointed, with all of the modern comforts.  The Concierge Service is second-to-none, and extremely responsive.  As a group of 13, we immediately felt right at Home!  All the amenities you require are close by--within walking distance or a short drive.  We enjoyed the Sunset Catamaran Cruise aboard the Happy Coco, at the recommendation of the Host, and we're so glad we did!  It was pure magic!  Highly-recommend Tunnel to Paradise!!!

Thanks Jennifer - glad you enjoyed your stay and the Happy Coco is a great boat for the susnet cruise.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Tunnel to Paradise and it truly exceeded all expectations. The pictures online, while stunning, truly didn’t do justice to the actual beauty of the place. The host Lisa, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you’re considering booking this place, don’t hesitate—go ahead and secure your stay now. You won’t regret it!

Wow. We've stayed all over the world and I can honestly say this place was amazing. The pictures online don't do the house justice. Book here and you won't be disappointed!

All I can say is WOW!!! The pictures don’t do this place justice!! The tunnel to paradise is truly what this place is!!! Breathtaking views! The host responds within mins! The team she has managing the property were also very responsive! Rebecca the house manager took care of any need I had which was minor! And the Manager for activities had out activities planned with transportation! He accommodated my group of 8! And the drivers were so friendly and on time! I would say bring more cash because you’re going to want to tip just because! Lisa thank you so much for making my birthday experience one to remember forever!

So glad your Birthday celebration was a huge success and one for the memory books staying at our tunnel to paradise.

Everything is spotless. A beautiful house with an amazing view!!! We really enjoyed it!!

Todo impecable. Una casa hermosa con una vista increíble!!! La disfrutamos mucho!!

This house is heaven on Earth! As you enter the residential gated community, you feel safe and a sense as you are driving up the mountain that you will reach an awesome house. Then you go through the tunnel to paradise and you can’t wait to park your car and enter the beautiful house. As you walk in, the view of the eternal pool and the ocean is mesmerizing to say the least. The house is spectacular- one story- no stairs anywhere (perfect for older guests). You will have an awesome view from 4 out of 5 rooms, but that 5th room is great for the kids! High ceilings, air conditioner everywhere plus ceiling fans. The kitchen and dining area is out of this world, and the sofa in the living room will make it hard for you to leave the house! But as you step out to the pool area, you will find it also hard to leave that refreshing view! The fire pit outside is perfect for enjoying the starry sky. The type of place and experience you do not want to leave and can’t wait to get back to!

I cannot say enough good things about this home, as it far exceeded our expectations. It sits on a high hill above the ocean, so the views/sunsets are incredible. Maybe the best views in all of Costa Rica. That means a little walk up and down to the ocean, but we enjoyed the walk and our teenagers did it in about 10 minutes. This home is perfectly designed and furnished for vacation visits. It also receives outstanding local care and management. It is in a beautiful private gated neighborhood of multimillion dollar homes with friendly 24/7 security. Playa Hermosa is our favorite beach in Costa Rica. The community has some little stores, restaurants and a fantastic beach. It is peaceful and only about a 10 minute drive to Coco, if seeking a little more shopping or restaurants.  The host is friendly and responsive. The local management company (Zindis) is also friendly, helpful and always available. We give it an 11 out of 10!

A wonderful house with impeccable taste. Excellent layout with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The stay and cook beautiful with excellent equipment... we didn't lack a thing. The delicious pool with warm water and the terrace around it is also well-equipped. The view from the pool and rooms is spectacular... We would definitely come back to the house!! The people at the company that manages the house were super friendly when they welcomed us and gave us all possible directions for the handling of A/C equipment and house alarm. They were always attentive to any need we had. Everything was excellent!

Una casa maravillosa con un gusto impecable. Excelente distribución con cuartos y baños amplios. La estancia y cocina hermosas con excelente equipamiento... no nos faltó nada. La piscina deliciosa con agua templada y la terraza a su alrededor tambien muy equipada. La vista desde la piscina y los cuartos es espectacular... Definitivamente volveríamos a la casa!! Las personas de la empresa que administra la casa fueron super amables al recibirnos y nos dieron todas las indicaciones posibles para el manejo de los equipos de A/C y alarma de la casa. Siempre estuvieron atentos a cualquier necesidad que tuvieramos. Todo excelente!
