Family Villa Playa Hermosa / Jaco / Surfers - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

This was a wonderful place to stay in Costa Rica! The property was spacious, comfortable, and had plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time. The location was great, with lots of delicious food and restaurants nearby, making it easy to find something to eat without having to travel far. The area was beautiful, peaceful, and convenient for exploring Costa Rica. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

What an extraordinary house! Even better and bigger in person. WOW!! The house had all of the amenities from beach towels, beach/pool accessories, well equipped kitchen, and the most comfortable beds! And Lisa is such a vibrant, welcoming, friendly host. She went above and beyond to ensure my family and I had all that we needed. Would highly recommend this place. I will definitely book this again… already thinking of plans for the near future.

We were a family of 10 adults and 2 children. The stay was amazing for everyone. The house is beautiful. In person, it's much better than what's shown in the photos, with many amenities for each family member. Simply a paradise for enjoying and resting.

Fuimos una familia de 10 adultos y 2 niños, para todos la estadía fue increíble. La casa es preciosa, en persona es mucho mejor de lo que se ve en las fotografías, con muchas comodidades para cada miembro de la familia. Simplemente un paraíso para poder disfrutar y descansar.

What a beautiful place! Everything about our stay was perfect and if I get the opportunity to return, I'd choose this place again and again.

10/10 recommend! Lisa and her concierge LA made us feel right at home. Very communicative, friendly, and helpful. We would love to book with her again! I was worried about how many bugs we would have to experience but the place is very clean and controlled that we didn’t have any problems even with it being the rainy season! Thank you Lisa and LA, we will remember this forever!

The house is beautiful and comfortable; we hope to return. Lisa is an excellent host, very communicative, and willing to help.

La casa es preciosa y cómoda, esperamos volver. Lisa es excelente anfitriona, muy comunicativa y dispuesta a ayudar.

The house is beautiful! My only complaint is that the bed was not comfortable at all, and the curtains in the room are not blackout curtains. Everything else was perfect! The pool was spectacular.

La casa es hermosa! Mi única queja es que la cama no fue nada cómoda y las cortinas del cuarto no son black out. El resto todo estuvo perfecto! La piscina espectacular

My friends and I had a lovely trip to the house for our reunion. Everything was extremely comfortable and having LA to help organize activities for us was a game changing

There was nothing lacking! We felt spoiled and important. Kittens on the patio were icing on the cake!

This was our 4th visit to this property and it is memorable every single time!

The beach house is amazing, super large and comfortable for groups or large families, something I really liked is that each room has air and a large bathroom, the house has all the necessary amenities for a quiet and welcoming family stay.  Lisa is super friendly and efficient. I highly recommend staying in this spacious house.

La casa de playa es increíble, super grande y cómoda para grupos o familias numerosas, algo que me gusto muchísimo es que cada habitación tiene aire y baño amplios,  la casa tiene todas comodidades necesarias para una estadía tranquila y acogeradora en familia.  Lisa es super amable y eficiente. Recomiendo muchísimo que se hospeden en esta amplia casa.

My family and I loved this house! Look no further if you are surfers, La Curva is your backyard... perfection. House is big and clean. We had 11 people, and were very comfortable. Every bedroom has its own bathroom. Gated community. Nice pool. Communication was excellent as well. I highly recommend 😎

We had one of the best experiences ever during our multi-generational family vacation in Costa Rica, thanks to Lisa's exceptional place. It was exactly as described—and even better—making us feel incredibly fortunate to have discovered this hidden gem. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed to make it our comfortable home for the week, including huge, spacious bedrooms each with their own private bathroom, a luxurious feature that's truly unheard of. Lisa went above and beyond by connecting us with LA, who helped plan and arrange nearly all our activities and transportation. We can't wait to return and hope to do so very soon!

This was a perfect place for our family get-away!   We were a group of 12, so the six well-appointed bedrooms and spacious, private baths were great.  The kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook in.    The location in Playa Hermosa was close enough to Jaco for fun dining and shopping, yet far enough away to feel uncrowded and quiet.   We definitely would stay here again and recommend it highly!

Don’t contemplate staying here, just do it. Lisa was the perfect host, always checking in making sure my group of 8 had everything we needed for our entire stay. You can tell she cares a-lot about people in general. The home itself is large, beautiful & serene. The bedrooms are huge and it never felt crowded. The beach is right in the backyard and the small gated community made it feel safe and secure. Ubers are easy to get and Lisa and Teri can also set you up with transportation to get around the area. We went back and forth to town for $6-9 each way. All in all, we loved this stay & if you want a relaxing, exotic vacation this is it!! A 10/10 for sure. Thank you so much again Lisa!!

Lisa was an excellent host. She provided recommendations when we requested and messaged us every day to check in. The beach outside of the home was perfect for our group of 12 with 6 adults and 6 kids ranging from 2-16. Be mindful of riptides but even the young kids could go where the water met the beach. The house was even better than the pictures. Each bedroom with its own bathroom, offering plenty of privacy. Each bedroom and main space with its own A/C unit too. Outdoor showers were great for rinsing off sand when coming back from the beach. The pool was enjoyed by all! There was a cooler and 4 beach chairs available to use. Provided beach towels were nice so we didn’t have to pack our own towels. If flying into SJO and heading to the west coast for a few days, I highly recommend stopping at a Walmart in San Jose to stock up on snacks, food, drinks, and anything else you know you will need for your stay. It was much cheaper to do it this way. Overall, I highly recommend!

Lisa was very attentive to our needs and tried to make sure everything was just right.

The house was beatiful and comfortable, great place to stay with a big family. Lisa was really helpful and attentive to anything we might have needed.

We went on a family outing, 12 people. All women and we had a great time. The house is a very spacious beauty. Each room has its own bathroom and delicious beds. The pool is good size.  Lisa was always very attentive to any needs.  The house is in front of the beach and the sound of the waves is very relaxing at night.  The condominium is very quiet.

Fuimos en un paseo familiar 12 personas. Todas mujeres y la pasamos excelente. La casa es una belleza muy amplia. Cada cuarto con su baño y las camas deliciosas. La piscina tiene buen tamaño.  Lisa siempre estuvo muy atenta a cualquier necesidad.  La casa Está frente a la playa y el sonido de las olas es muy relajante en las noches.  Muy tranquilo el condominio.

Check-in was very easy, and Lisa communicated with us extensively before our arrival. Lisa was the most communicative, helpful, and pleasant host that we have ever encountered. I feel like she is a friend of the family now! The house was spotless. As a neat freak, I can say that this was probably the cleanest house we have ever rented, and we have rented many. The location of the house is perfect, situated about 90 minutes from the San Jose airport. It is tucked away in a quiet area, yet only a 10-15 minute drive from the main city of Jaco, which offers a variety of activities, restaurants, shops, and more. The two king master bedrooms have a beautiful view of the ocean. The ocean is right behind the pool, and you can hear the waves from any room with the windows open or when on the back patio. We used LA to plan many of our excursions, and she was very helpful and knows the area like no other. I highly suggest the Tortuga Island tour through CostaCat and the ATV tour.

The place is absolutely beautiful! It was perfect for our family of 8 because everyone had their own space. Everything was well equipped and we couldn’t be happier with our stay. Lisa is an amazing host and she goes above and beyond! If you need anything she responds within seconds and has wonderful recommendations. We loved our stay and how close it was to the beach. Don’t hesitate to book this house for your vacation. You won’t be disappointed!!!

We had such a great time! The house was better than our expectations! The house was so beautiful. It was so great to have a pool in the back yard and to be able to walk to the beach. The house was in a small community which was very nice. We hope to be able to return. Lisa was such a wonderful host. I was able to text Lisa before the trip and ask her questions about things to do. Lisa also helped with finding a driver that I could trust to take my daughter to the airport. We loved everything!

Lisa was so attentive - appreciate her checking in on us each day to ensure our stay was perfect!

Amazing house, but would recommend having a vehicle as there is not much around / within walking distance.  House is beautiful, and very spacious.  Lisa is wonderful host, very helpful and communicative, always there to help with anything.  Would highly recommend staying here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lisa's place! Lisa was very communicative, helpful, and friendly before and throughout our stay. The house itself was immaculate and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen well-appointed, and bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. The pool was great, and the best part was the proximity to the beach and the scarlet macaws that flew back and forth from the trees in front of the beach to the side of the neighborhood. We are determined to return to Costa Rica, and would not hesitate to book this home again!

Loved our stay at Playa Hermosa! Lisa, the host, is wonderful and hospitable. The house was perfect for our two families--lots of room to spread out, a great pool, and steps away from a fantastic beach! The trip concierge, LA, helped us organize all of our transportation and trips (including horseback riding, beach getaways, boat trips in the jungle, waterfall hikes, and a Costa Rica national soccer game!) to make our trip seamless. Super helpful. Would highly recommend! We hope to stay again!

Lisa is an excellent host, she was always very attentive to all our needs. The house is very large, comfortable and nice, very well equipped. I highly recommend it

Lisa es una excelente anfitriona, siempre estuvo muy atenta a todas nuestras necesidades. La casa es muy grande, comoda y bonita, muy bien equipada. La recomiendo bastante

The house was perfect for my group. Big kitchen that was well stocked, with space to eat outside. Definitely glad we got groceries before arrival because the nearest grocery is a bit of a drive away. The pool was great for the afternoon and the beach access was so incredible to have just down the street. There were enough bathrooms and the beds and AC made everyone comfortable. Lisa was always readily available and friendly. I really appreciated the flexibility with early check-in/out, it's very rare for an Airbnb in my experience. Overall I can highly recommend this house.

There was construction near the house which was a little disturbing but nothing more. Ubers were easy to get. We had a problem with the conventional and microwave ovens but Lisa was able to fix the problem quickly. Thank you Lisa, it was a nice stay at your home.

Il y avait de la construction près de la maison ce qui était un peu perturbant mais sans plus. Les Uber étaient faciles à obtenir. Nous avons eu un problème avec les fours conventionnel et micro-ondes mais Lisa a su corriger le problème rapidement. Merci Lisa, ce fut un beau séjour à votre maison.

This was my second time staying at this place. We love it because it’s far enough from the busy town yet close enough to be there within 10 minutes. Love the private beach (my favorite part)! Place is huge! Even with 10 people in the house, it never felt crowded. We stayed for two weeks so it was awesome to have washer and dryer. Lisa is incredibly responsive and checks in daily. There are so many activities to do, however, they can be quite the drive. We were here during the holidays which added traffic time. But they were worth the drive! We found a Temazcal Sweat Lodge down the road….if you’re into wellness and spirituality, this is a must try! Jaco was amazing for New Year’s…fireworks on the beach!! So many great restaurants: Vida Hermosa, Koko’s Gastropub, PuddleFish Brewery has live music, Jaco Bar for cocktails and El Pelícano restaurant in Herradura for a nice dinner. Anywhere you go the food is so fresh and delicious.

It is a lovely place, and we enjoyed it a lot.

The house is large, perfect for the family, all with their own bedroom and bathroom! Being in front of the beach makes it very easy for children. Lisa is an excellent host! 100% recommended!!

La casa es grande, perfecta para la familia todos con su propio cuarto y baño! El estar frente a la playa hace que sea muy fácil para los niños. Lisa es una excelente anfitriona! 100% recomendado!!

First- the house is beautiful. Secluded enough but close to stores and restaurants. Tons of room- way larger than the photos show. Most importantly- Lisa was the BEST vacation rental host we have ever had. She was so thoughtful and thorough with her communication, gave us incredibly detailed directions for everything, made recommendations for absolutely anything we might need or want locally, and checked in with us everyday. She was truly amazing. She even had the home beautifully and tastefully decorated for the holidays. This was such a great trip and our family is planning another time to come and we want to stay at this home again.

Stayed here for a bachelorette trip and we had the best time! Lisa is super responsive and the place is more beautiful than the pictures show. There was plenty of space and direct access to the beach. The house was super clean and we felt very safe. Would definitely recommend for a big group!

Lisa’s place was amazing beyond expectation. The space comfortably fit 12 people as there were 10 beds and plenty of bathrooms. The AC was functioning great in all rooms and the main space. The kitchen, backyard, and pool had plenty of space and were used frequently! The location within a gate and right on the beach were also very convenient. Lastly, the concierge, L.A. that we were connected with to help book excursions, dinners, and all else was unbelievable. Extremely well communication, understood our goal and the things we wanted to do right away, was fair with all pricing, extremely well prepared, and always super flexible! Couldn’t speak higher of the house, host, and concierge!

Great stay! House is huge with great views in a very private community. We had an extended family of 12 celebrating a few birthdays and the house size was perfect with even two unused beds. Rooms are all very spacious all with their own bathrooms plus a guest half bath. So helpful having the laundry room. Pool is great and you can hear the waves all day. Macaws will wake you up every morning as they feed from the nearby trees, such a treat to see. The black sand beach is beautiful for daily walks but not swimable more for surfing. There is a super sweet cat, Mittens, that provides company and secures the back porch from any critters. Shadow a male cat might show up to eat her leftovers. Miss them! Lisa was wonderful, very friendly and checked in daily. L.A. took care of all of our tours, transportation, restaurant and personal chef recommendations - plus she was so much fun! Overall great stay in Costa Rica and everyone had such a fun time!

An excellent place, comfortable and beautiful house, and willing to collaborate , very grateful to it.

Un excelente lugar, casa cómoda y hermosa , y lisa dispuesta a colaborar , muy agradecidos con ella.

Great AirBNB for groups of 8-10. Beach was close and walkable, but not recommended for children or poor swimmers because of the waves and rip currents. Lisa was great. Very responsive and helpful.

This house is ideal for large groups as it has private bathrooms in all its bedrooms. The pool is nice, the location is good. And the communication with Lisa was very smooth and she was always very attentive. Thanks! :)

Esta casa es ideal para grupos grandes ya que cuenta con baños privados en todos sus dormitorios. La piscina es bonita, la ubicación es buena. Y la comunicación con Lisa fue muy fluida y estuvo muy atenta siempre. ¡Gracias! :)

Lisa is the best!  She took care of us so well.  The house is wonderful and we had the best time. Lisa provides a concierge named LA who is equally as amazing as Lisa. They make a perfect team. Thank you both for helping us have a wonderful, relaxing, worry free vacation

This home is even better than the pictures. We had the best time staying here and the beach access was perfect for the surfers in the group. Would defiantly come back!

This is a spacious beautiful home! It is even more beautiful than the pictures!! Lisa was an outstanding host. She was quick to respond with any questions I had. I was more than pleased with my  stay. I hope to be back to Hermosa Beach soon I will definitely be booking with Lisa again!

We had an amazing time at Lisa’s house. The house is enormous and each room had a ton of space. It was just a minute walk to the beach and the pool was the spot to be at night. Lisa was on top of everything and very responsive with any questions I had. I definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and fun beach experience.

This house is beautiful and BIG! You cannot beat the views - the sunsets were to die for! Lisa was wonderful to deal with, super friendly and VERY responsive. L.A. took care of all of our tours and transportation and made chef recommendations as well as restaurants and she was so much fun! Total five star service from both of them! Made our stay in Costa Rica such a fun time! Reserve this house …. You will not regret it!!

Wow! This home was amazing! We had a party of 10. Everyone loved it. The home is absolutely gorgeous. L.A. was great as well. She set up a little surprise for my husbands 50th. There is so much around to do. We did a few adventures and didn’t have to go far. Location is perfect. We had such an amazing time, we will definitely be back! Lisa and L.A. are both great! Very responsive and helpful. Thank you both! Till next time Pura Vida!

We had an amazing family vacation at Lisa's place.  The house is actually even bigger and grander than it looks in the photos.  We had ample space for a family of 11 and loved having the beach at our doorstep as well as the pool.  Lisa gave us recommendations for a chef who came in to cook for us one evening.  When one of the wifi's stopped working she immediately got the problem solved and when the ice maker on the fridge stopped working she had bags of ice delivered to us within less than 1/2 hour! And finally, one of our grandchildren left a favourite stuffy behind in his bed and she has arranged to have it shipped to us.  Top notch customer service and very friendly interactions with Lisa. Highly recommended. The only down side is that you can't walk to pick up groceries, but Ubers are very reasonable.

Place is awesome, host made it even better!  There will be no disappointments!

This was the best Airbnb experience. We loved it so much that we were all sad to leave. A spectacular black sand beach all to ourselves! Every sunset, we walked to the beach and took the best photos. All the excursions and restaurants were super close and LA made a convenient transportation arrangement for us. Lisa was so friendly and responsive to all our needs. The house is a really spacious and meticulously cleaned one. Thank you again for giving us a best vacation. I will give you 12 out of 10.

Large blended family with multiple grandparents and children. Everyone had their own bathroom and private quiet room. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for our vacation. Beach was beautiful and the waves were so fun!! Lisa checked in daily and was a super host!! Perfect

Lisa was beyond helpful from the moment we booked, right through our entire stay!! Very responsive to any need we had, the house is perfect, the views are amazing, and there are only a few suggestions I can make, like cable would have been great for evenings and mid day rests.  The refrigerator could be bigger, and the grill could be bigger to accommodate a large group.  There were 12 in our group, and the grill is a bit small.

Our team visited from the UK for a training camp in the area. The house was absolutely perfect, and Lisa was a great host who went above and beyond for us. Thank you for having us!

The communication was amazing Lisa made sure we knew everything before hand. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. Right across from the ocean. I honestly felt like in a small castle. We will be coming back.

If it was possible to give higher than 5* we would give it. Lisa our host answered all our questions starting months before our arrival and right through our stay, checking in with us each day to see how things were going. Lisa recommended a woman called L.A. as a tour arranger and she arranged the best excursions for us - ones that provided the excitement the teens loved. The house was amazing - so suitable for our 6 adults and 4 teenagers - space, bathrooms, netflix, ocean views, pool, short walk to the beach - no swimming because of rip tides but expert surfers there all the time. Private quiet location, gated entry but short drive to Jaco. Would love to return.

This house was more than expected. The bedrooms are huge and each has its own bathroom. The house is large, even with 8 people in the house it never felt crowded. Nice and secluded, yet a quick drive into Jaco for everything we needed. Beautiful view of the ocean from the 2 primary bedrooms. Walk to the beach in 3 minutes. Beach is secluded and hardly ever anybody there, which we loved. Lisa was super proactive and responsive. We would stay here again and highly recommend!

The house is beautiful and the house is even bigger than it looks in pictures, we shared 12 people, and we were left over space in the rooms. We spent an incredible time, the pool is also large and have items to enjoy the boys and adults. The location is also perfect for a walk to the beach and has the best location to watch the sunset from the balcony. Lisa was an amazing host, super communicative and always available for any help we might need

La casa es hermosa y la casa es aún más grande de lo que parece en fotos, compartimos 12 personas, y nos sobró espacio hasta en los cuartos. Pasamos un tiempo increíble, la piscina también es grande y cuentan con artículos para disfrutar los chicos y grandes. La ubicación también es perfecta para salir a caminar al lado de la playa y tiene la mejor ubicación para ver el atardecer desde el balcón. Lisa fue una increíble anfitriona, super comunicativa y siempre disponible a cualquier ayuda que pudiésemos necesitar

Lisa was very helpful and communicative on all matters.  House is great and would recommend to others.

Great house in a gated community. Host is very responsive and accommodating. LA the concierge is AMAZING! Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Lisa is a wonderful host. She made it her priority to ensure we had a great stay. Communication was spot on and she was very proactive in reaching out to ensure that things were going smoothly. To sum it up, Lisa exceeds expectations. As far as the house goes, it is exactly as described. Perfect location if you are looking for a little privacy but not too far away from the fun in Jaco. Would definitely stay again when we are back in Costa Rica.

I really wanted to like the home, but we had too many things go wrong. Lisa tried her best even offering us another home, but it wasn’t worth us moving and wasn’t near the beach.  She also refunded some of our money, but Id have rather had a functioning house.  There was a leak in the master bedroom that made the room uninhabitable- which stinks, because it’s the master.  Lisa warned of us a leak day of arrival  there was a leak and they are planning to fix post our stay, but it didn’t help us and unfortunately we arrived during heavy rain.    Next, be aware that the house has a cat.  It lives outside, but if you are allergic, that can be an issue for you.  They have food, bowls etc for the cat, so there is a cat.  We had inconsistent power as well causing the oven, tv, lights and washing machine to give us trouble while we were there.  I never got the oven to work, but only tried it a couple of days we were there.   Lisa did all she could, but it wasn’t the beach vacation we hoped for

This house is really a castle, it is jaw dropping, stunning, looks exactly like the photos (or bigger). The natural light that comes through the windows is nourishing, the sound of the waves will literally rock you to sleep, there is some much wildlife that surrounds you (macaws, other birds, iguanas, bats, crabs, some frogs; no need to pay for a night wildlife tour, it's included with the house lol). I loved this place before even getting there. We had a few oddities occur, beetles came in and shared the space (it's Costa Rica, it happens), leaky ceiling in 2 spots then the next rainfall grew into 3 spots, which Lisa informed us will be fixed for future stays. Personally I would return for a second stay, this is definitely a safe location, great for families, mindfully laid out for those with children (the gates around the pool, house and area, some floaties provided). The kitchen is spacious. Lisa provided us with a few Welcome gits, snacks and champagne.

The house and surrounding area is beautiful. Lisa, our host checked in daily with us to see if we needed anything. Victor, the gate watchee, greeted us and was great when we had a small medical emergency (stepped on a very sharp shell and needed to extract it-wear shoes). She also introduced us to a great girl, LA, who will set up rides, adventures and whatever else you may need to enjoy your stay.

What can I say.....this place was amazing.  The house is beautiful and spacious.  There were 10 of us and it never felt crowded.  The beach is so peaceful, the pool was relaxing, and the local wildlife was very cool.  Lisa checked in every day and answered any question within minutes.  Her instructions for finding the place and checking in were very detailed and it made everything very easy.  Costa Rica is magical - from Manuel Antonio, to Herradura beach, to Matapalos beach, to all the adventures (zip lining, atv riding, and white water rafting) - can't wait to come back!  Thanks Lisa for the incredible family vacation!

Lisa is an excellent hostess and was always attentive to our needs with constant information and availability. He is very friendly and all the information he gave us made our stay easier. He always attended to our queries and particular needs. Totally recommended. The property needs some security measures that I will communicate directly to Lisa to improve the stay in her house.

The house was full of rustic charm and even though we had neighbors, it was quiet and peaceful. We had 6 bedrooms, and each had its own bathroom. The pool was cleaned daily and maintained. Lisa was great, very responsive to any texts or concerns we might have. She checked on us daily to make sure everything was going great. The house comes with your own private concierge so we were able to sit at the dining room table and plan our entire stay. She booked everything on the spot for our group of 10 and arranged transportation for us to each location. The trip was very relaxing. Pura Vida!

I would stay again.  It’s family get away

Very comfortable, spacious, and safe home. Lisa was very communicative, responded quickly, and provided a lot of helpful information. The ocean view from the back balcony was amazing. Would return.

Lisa's Airbnb was great.  The house was fantastic it was the perfect space for two families.  The patio and pool area were right on the ocean which made for a great atmosphere with an ocean in the background while the kids played in the pool.  There are two master suites with king beds and all other bedrooms had bathrooms in them too which gave everyone their privacy which was perfect.  Lisa was fantastic, by far the best host we have had in a home rental.  We've stayed in probably 6 or 7 different house rentals and there wasn't anyone that was even close to how attentive she was and how much she helped.  For example, we wanted to order pizza one night, i messaged her to ask for recommendations, she recommended a place, called them for me, then let me know she called them and gave them the address and that they were expecting my call including the name of the person that spoke English there I could request.  It was fantastic and would stay again and highly recommend the house.

Incredible stay. The house is very big. We were 11 people and we never felt cramped. To have a private bathroom with each bedroom is a blessing. The beach is very close to the house, but you have to be a good swimmer to go there. If this is your case, playing in the waves is extremely enjoyable. The swimming pool allows you to cool off anytime just out of the house. Lisa responds very quickly when we have questions. She also put us in touch with L A who managed all our trips and activities. There were several restaurants recommended by Lisa. We went to Vida Hermosa and it was a pure delight. Lisa also put us in touch with chefs for a few dinners, which we really enjoyed. Truly a perfect stay.

Everything from start to finish was absolutely perfect!!!  The pool guy to the gate guard was spot on if you need them!!!  Lisa checked in daily, LA I really can’t explain how AWESOME she was, there was no question unanswered and no want not attended to!!!  Off the beaten path but close enough to enjoy everything!!!!  The pictures don’t do the house justice…only night I had trouble sleeping was the one knowing I was leaving the next day!!! Can’t wait to be back!!!

House was great - can’t wait to return!  Lisa was a great host!

We had a large family gathering of 10 people and this home was the perfect match to make everyone happy.  The bedrooms were enormous and having private bathrooms was fabulous.  The living area and kitchen were excellent and there were ample supplies in the kitchen and elsewhere.  The pool and patio were great, as were the views of the ocean from the balconies, as well as hearing the pleasant crashing of the surf.  It was a short walk to a beach that felt like it was our own private beach and although the waves and riptide were real, it was still safe to swim for our group.  The overall location of this place was nearly perfect - 90 minutes from the airport in San Jose, 10 minutes to Jaco, 75 minutes to Manual Antonio.  We had access to everything we could have wanted and had the privacy we appreciated.   Finally, Lisa was tremendous - check-in was easy and she provided continuous support for any of our needs.  She was first class and was willing to do anything we needed.  Would return!

One of the Best Host I have encountered.  Lisa is very detailed and extremely responsive.  Everything, everywhere or anyone Lisa had recommended was on point and top notch.  If you do not rent a vehicle and you do not want to walk, contact Andrea (Lisa recommended), she has a van that accommodates 10 comfortably for an incredible price!  Andrea is punctual and super cool!  The private chef, we hired Chef Aaron, for one evening and Chef Bruno for another.  Both chefs to include their sous chef were so awesome, and they leave the kitchen cleaner than you had it.  There is nothing negative I can say about this trip, Lisa made it so easy, absolutely zero complaints and she deserves 1 million stars.  Strongly recommend and I sound like a broken record, but Lisa deserves the praise because she made the trip better than we had anticipated.  About the house, absolutely PERFECT and there is this wonderful gatekeeper, Victor.  We will be back, and we only want to work with Lisa.

Amazing huge house close to the surf beach, pictures do not do it justice it’s beautiful and Lisa the manager is very communicative and helpful. We certainly will be back again to enjoy this wonderful home.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is at the end of a long road so it’s a bit of a chore to get in and out but the view is unbeatable and the beach is a few steps away. We were in contact with the host the whole time which was really helpful.

Highly recommend staying here! The house and the views or the ocean are breath taking and it’s not too far from Jaco and excursions. The house was very clean and Lisa and LA made it a point to check in with us daily to make sure we were comfortable and had whatever we needed during our stay. Thank you both sooooo much!!

This house and Lisa are a real gem. The location is right on a nature preserve with Macaws feasting on the trees right outside. Iguanas everywhere, land crabs and frogs. I enjoyed daily morning walks on the beach with my coffee. The sunsets are to die for. And the waves are no joke. For surfers and wave hunters, this is the spot!! For other adventures, restaurants, calmer beaches and really anything, Lisa is the ultimate host. It was amazing.

I normally don’t leave long reviews, but In this case, I feel that it’s necessary.  From initial booking until checkout, Lisa was completely on point, responding to every message expeditiously, recommending things to do, making instruction videos, etc.  i use airbnb often and have never come across a host like this.  Finally someone who takes pride and completely understands customer service.  Thanks Lisa!  Now, regarding the house.  Perfect size for large families or even 2 large families.  We had 14 total and there was more than enough space.  The home was clean,  everything worked (appliances, AC, TV’s) plenty of towels, dishes, pots, etc.  pool was very clean as were all patio areas.  Getting to the beach was easy.. a short 2 minute walk. I could go on and on, but I won’t.  Everything was perfect!

This house is amazing and so spacious. There were 12 of us staying there and we all had plenty of room. Lisa was the best host I’ve ever had at a rental. She was so attentive and helpful with booking all of our activities! She arranged for 8 of us to get massages at the house one day! Note that they only take cash, but they were wonderful and worth every penny! The beach is so pretty and practically private so we had it all to ourselves. The water is pretty rough right now so for swimming we drove down to Jaco beach because we had 2 kids under 12. But just walking on the beach was so peaceful. You will see scarlet macaws flying to the almond trees behind the house everyday! And iguanas are everywhere too. If you like nature then Costa Rica is for you!

We absolutely loved our stay! We had a group of 11, and we had plenty of space for everyone. The house is beautiful and super clean. We loved being so close to the beach, and we felt very safe in the small gated community.  The kitchen was stocked with all we needed. There is no dishwasher, so we purchased some disposable plates to ease all the dishwashing. Lisa was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for our group. She was very quick to respond to any and all questions and was so helpful in providing activity options, access to services and making us all feel super cared for. She is the best host we have ever had using Airbnb! We had a private chef come and prepare us dinner one of the nights and it was sooo fantastic. The location is great also. We stayed for over a week, so were able to drive to all our activities like horseback riding (we did both beach and mountain rides), Mangrove tours at Isla Damas, the hike to the abandoned hotel of La Mira (soo cool!), and it was not too far to drive to Manuel Antonio, Quepos, and Playa Herradura. We loved all the iguanas, macaws and other fun wildlife that was right outside our house. All around, we absolutely loved our stay!!

I rate this house 5 stars once you understand what you're getting: While the house is technically beachfront, you can't walk from the back of the house to the beach. You walk from the front door down two houses, and then a very short road to the beach. That said, this walk takes only about a minute. Additionally, from the house, there are a lot of trees between you and the ocean, so you're not exactly looking out on the ocean, rather you're looking at the ocean through the trees. Once you get to the beach, it's beautiful and almost empty. Walk a few yards past a very small public parking lot, and you'll have entire place to yourself. Regarding the ocean, everyone local told us that it's not safe for swimming - too many riptides. If you're an experienced surfer, you're in good shape, otherwise, this isn't a swimming beach, which you should know since you're renting a beachfront house. The house listing could be more clear on this front, but you'll figure this out by reading some of the other reviews as well. Once you understand all of the above, it's a great house. Probably the nicest house we stayed at during our trip to the country. Nice and airy, well laid out, and all of the comforts that you need. We fit two families very easily, and we could have fit in a third no problem. It's fairly remote, and you'll most likely want to head about 20 minutes into Jaco for whatever you want. Lisa was extremely helpful with any info leading up to the trip, and she will reply immediately if you let her know about any issues with the house. But trust me when I say the best thing you can ask her to do is to put you in touch with LA to coordinate whatever it is you need. We spent two weeks in Costa Rica, and didn't plan anything in advance of our trip. Lisa put me in touch with LA to figure out what we wanted to do and when. LA is phenomenal - she ended up booking all of our transportation and tours to and from Manuel Antonio, Playa Hermosa, Jaco, Arenal, and to and from the San Jose Airport. She found the best rates and the most convenient scheduling. She was able to plan around check in and check out of various hotels and airbnbs, handle our luggage, take us to grocery stores, etc.. Every tour/excursion she sent us on was top notch. If you can arrange to have Percy as your driver, even better! He spent a few days with us in Arenal when we were pretty remote, and in addition to being a great driver, he's a lot of fun to hang out with.

This house was everything it was promised. The location was excellent. We are so glad that we choose to stay outside of Jaco. It is in a closed community of about 5 houses . Each room has its own bathroom and tv. When we needed more of anything, Lisa couldn’t have been any more accommodating. The beach feels like your own private beach. And it is so quiet. In her recommendation, we hired Aaron Arhens to cook dinner for us one night and was amazing! It was the perfect vacation, and Lisa was an amazing host. You won’t be disappointed by booking this house

Amazing house in an amazing location. Lisa was in contact with us every day to make sure we were having fun and seeing if we needed anything. Everything about the property is incredible. Would absolutely recommend this house to anyone!

I was not aware of the dangerous rip tides on the beach adjacent to the property.  For someone who likes to swim in the ocean, this was a negative for me and this information should be made available to prospective renters.

We stayed here with 9 people and it was perfect. It is huge. Each bedroom is huge, the bathrooms are amazing. It is a beautiful home with a great kitchen and living area for cooking and being together. The view was great. The waves in this area are a little intimidating most of the day so our surfing kids went up to Jaco, which is not far. The host is awesome, very attentive. She thought of everything that we did not!  Although this is on the beach there is actually a dirt road between the fenced backyard and the ocean and you have to walk a few minutes to get around and down there. It was not inconvenient, just unexpected. The sounds of the waves and the macaws flying around were unforgettable. I would stay here again! Tsunami Sushi was excellent and the Big catamaran booze cruise was a blast along with El Avion restaurant in that same area south of the house.

I don't usually write reviews but I had to write one for this stay. About the listing- The listing was spot on! The house looks exactly like the pictures. The description was very informative and accurate. The house is very close to Jaco (maybe a 15 minute drive). About the host- Lisa is the absolute best airbnb host I've ever met. She was super helpful to me BEFORE the trip and during. I had a lot (and I mean a lot) of questions and she was very quick to respond. Lisa even sent me videos of herself driving to the house to help me find my way there when I arrived. She sent me maps of the area showing me how far Jaco was. She was just overall awesome! She did so much to make our stay a great stay and I am so grateful for all of her help. She helped us book excursions, book covid testing to get back into the U.S. and had a long list of restaurant recommendations (Lemon Zest was awesome!) Lisa checked on us daily and was very quick to resolve any issues we had. About the house- There was 12 people in my group and the house was big enough for us all. When we arrived there was a welcome packet with detergent, candy, and condiments. I am a chef so I definitely appreciated the spices and seasoning in the kitchen and there was plenty of pots and pans for us to cook daily. Everyone in the group loved the fact that each room had its own bathroom and the rooms were very spacious. There was ample towels for everyone and there was plenty of pool toys outside on the patio. If you decide to take a swim just keep in mind that the whole pool is deep. There is no shallow end. During the day we sat outside on the patio and listened to the waves while playing cards. We were there during a rainy period so at night there were a lot of bugs, crabs, and frogs on the patio so we weren't able to hang outside once the sun went down. Overall the house is lovely and looks exactly like the pictures. Extra info- I highly recommend booking travel accommodations to and from the airport and any excursions with Green tours. Their secretary LA is amazing! I cant say enough good things about LA!! LA helped us get around Jaco, took us to stores, and everything! She was pretty much our concierge and I know that was above and beyond her job! My trip would've been ruined without the help of Lisa & LA! BOOK THIS HOUSE!!!

Expect a responsive and friendly host! Easy access and secure location. A gem to find in Airbnbs in the area!

This home was very  large and convenient to all the bars and excursions and the best food and nightlife jaco , Playa Hermosa has to offer . The rooms were spacious and everyone had their own bathrooms which was perfect . We were in a marshland near the beach and had a bug problem but the owner sent a cleaning lady and an exterminator to rectify the situation. The communication with lisa was impeccable and she tended to all of our needs and swiftly tried to rectify any negative problems we had in the home. The power did go out in our area for a bit but she continuously called the power company to make sure we had power Quickly  and also compensated us for one nights stay because of the inconveniences . Highly recommend !

This house is perfectly situated, it is nicer than the photos indicate! The host, Lisa, was extremely communicative, checking in digitally everyday, in case we needed anything, but also leaving us alone...a great balance! She arranged for shuttles, rides, excursions...like our own personal concierge. She went above and beyond.  The home was located 10 minutes out of Jaco, in a secluded, safe, and beautiful area. Highly recommend.

What an amazing home! We were traveling as a multi family of 6, with my parents, brother, daughter,myself &partner. Having 2 master bedrooms was perfect for the two couples and my daughter and brother loved having their own bathrooms attached to their rooms as well! We didn’t even use 2 of the 6 bedrooms, but we loved all the open space on the main level, it made mealtimes/evenings easy to fit everyone. The beach is so close we were on it multiple times a day! We loved walking up and down looking for shells and we had a blast boogie boarding in the shallows, we did not find the surf too rough for this. We brought floats down with us from the US and enjoyed spending the hot afternoons/evenings just floating in the pool with a drink and music. Lisa was absolutely wonderful to work with, from the moment we booked until after we checked out. She made sure she was available for any questions we had and checked in with us each day to make sure we weren’t having any issues in the home or needed anything from her. We loved the location of this home, about 10 min from Jaco, we felt close enough to go grab lunch/dinner whenever we wanted, but far enough away that it was much more peaceful than being in town around so many people. Lots of grocery store options too, we got stuff for breakfast and snacks and ventured out to each lunches and dinner, just because there were so many places we wanted to try! We are animal lovers, and we made friends with 2 sweet dogs that live around then neighborhood, the security guard introduced us and we loved giving them belly rubs on our way to and from the beach each day. Overall, just a wonderful experience and would highly recommend to our friends and family looking to experience a slower paced Vacation.

Lisa is one of the most helpful and hospitable hosts that I have encountered. She has assisted me from the first time I viewed her property to the time I left. She even went out of her way to send video messages as she drove around the city to give us an insight before we arrived. The property was breathtaking! It was clean and my group felt as if we had our own mini-mansion. The view of the pool overlooking the beach from the balcony at 5:30 am as the sun rose and the Cantu birds pass the home was priceless on my birthday. The home and the trip were not anything short of amazing and memorable. Thank you again Lisa for your recommendations of takeout spot and the driver Andrea who was super sweet.

The place is beautiful , well equipped with the beach in front and Lisa strives to help with everything and make the stay something spectacular... thank you very much Lisa for helping to make this stay wonderful...

El lugar es bellísimo , bien equipado con la playa al frente y Lisa se esmera por ayudar con todo y hacer de la estadía algo espectacular… muchas gracias Lisa por ayudar para que esta estadía fuera maravilloso…

Lisa was super attentive and nice, had great recommendations and timely answers to our questions, this house and host are incredible, we can’t wait to come back.

This house was perfect for our large group of 11! A few steps from the beach and very comfortable and spacious. Lisa is an amazing host that communicated beyond our expectations and helped us book excursions with transportation. Having a car would be helpful at this location as it is off the beaten path just a bit, but it is so beautiful there that you wouldn't need to leave either! We loved this house and would definitely book it again if we choose to stay in the same area again. We also recommend Chef Aaren (Lisa's recommendation) if you are looking for even more relaxation, he came to the house and cooked for our group twice. Delicious!

WOW!!! This place is truly breathtaking, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Lisa is the goat of all Airbnb’s I have ever stayed in. When I tell you she helped me with everything and I literally mean EVERYTHING!!!! From private transportation, food, excursions, private chef, and more. She was always available and practically had the answers to everything. Now let’s go get to the house……pictures give this house no justice and I mean NONE. From the time we pulled up til the time we left I was in awe. This house is truly a masterpiece and absolutely stunning. Me and my party of 7 was in HEAVEN. If you are looking to rent this beautiful home you better do it fast cause baby it is worth every single penny!!!!! My Dirty 30 was epic because of you Lisa and I’m truly blessed to be able to stay in your home. I didn’t want to leave lol oooooo and if you love a beautiful kitchen this is the one right here!!!!! Thanks again Lisa I shall return soon again.

the house is great! we hay a really nice family vacations . the house is big, clean and really confortable and the communication with Lisa was amazing, explaining everything and being there to assist at any time. we will definitevely come back! pura vida!

We had a great stay at this rental. Six couples stayed very comfortably and we had a great time. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the living space was fine, though we spent very little time inside unless we were sleeping. The pool and lounge areas were great. I'd recommend a dining height table in the porch area, but that's a minor issue. Great spot on the beach and plenty of surfers to watch. Don't hesitate to rent if you have a big group, and try the restaurants in Playa Hermosa, especially Vida Hermosa. Easy drive and excellent food and drinks. Pura Vida!

This is an amazing house and our extended family had a wonderful time. The rooms are spacious and wonderfully decorated. The pool was a great hit with the grandkids and adults. The beach is a minute walk and the sunsets every night were breathtaking. The younger children had fun playing in the sand and chasing crabs. We didn’t let them in the ocean due to the strong rip currents but they were fine with that and had the pool the swim in. There was not a pot or pan that we couldn’t find and everything you needed to cook the few days we wanted to. It is extremely safe and secure with a sweet guard that knew who we were and was always smiling. One night we saw Macaws of magnificent blue, yellow and green. We named the two iguanas iggy and spike, they treated us most days. It was so relaxing and spacious. You do need a car to go downtown Jaco but it is a short drive and I would highly recommend you go for food and great souvenirs. We found one of a kind beautifully carved bowls that will always remind us of this wonderful family vacation. Lisa is the B E S T !!!! She prepared us well and would answer questions in minutes. Go, enjoy and you will not be disappointed. Our ages ranged from late 60’s to 14 months.

Great location. The beach was not crowded and absolutely stunning. We loved watching the surfers, birds and lizards. The pool was awesome in the evening. We enjoyed the local resturuants and they even drove our party back and forth when we asked. The two trips we took were great. All in all a very relaxing Christmas Vacation.
