Casa Lina Private Beachfront retreat/full service in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Lina's place is really spectacular.  It is her family's home for many years, so she obviously treats it like she truly owns it, not just an owner/investor.  The place is pristine, inside and out.  The kitchen is well equipped with proper cookware.  Most airbnbs have junked out pots and pans.  The place is extremely peaceful, and the location it truly a prime spot for a vacationer looking for beachfront property, calm environment, beautiful beach. We would come back here in a heartbeat.

We spent a week at Lina’s and had an amazing time. There were 4 adults and 2 small kids - and the place was perfect. You are steps from the beach and can walk to every restaurant. The house is perfect for those who want to really be at the beach - It’s an open air concept so no matter where you look you have beautiful views of the ocean. There are also two outdoor showers which are great for rinsing off kids after a day at the beach. Lina was an amazing host and helped us with so many things including baby rentals, transport to and from the airport, a private chef, and more. She was always available and responsive. The housekeeper Karol, is also wonderful and was so helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

The best parts of the Airbnb are Lina's responsiveness and the location.  It is directly on a gorgeous beach with gentle waves and soft sand.  The kids loved it.  Lina was very helpful, getting the air conditioning fixed immediately and arranging an afternoon boat trip for us.  She is an excellent host.

We spotted this place few years ago when we stayed in the nearby hotel. And we kind of made a note for ourselves - Next time we have to check it out. And finally we had an opportunity to enjoy this place and spent amazing and relaxing week with our extended family. Everything was great and amazing - The morning views straight from the Kitchen were priceless. The nightly walks on the beach - refreshing and peacefully. Everything in a vlilla is setting your mood to vacation and relaxing. Rooms are well separated for multiple families. Really nice beach. The daily cleaning services and night security are truly amazing touch.

Thank you for  choosing Casa Lina and glad you enjoyed your stay , Karol our daily housekeeper is a great "add on" to vacation mode.

Our stay was not as rosy as we expected. The place is moldy and very dusty. Our kids got allergic reaction first night of sleeping there. I checked mattresses next morning and saw how old they are and how many stains are on them. And under beds are mountains of dust( I told this to host and she just ignored me). The same is with AC. Very old dusty and moldy. Would be very good to finally change for new model, the price of the rent is quite high, so would be nice for guest to receive a better sleeping situation and not moldy old AC and mattresses. The location is beautiful, right next to the beach, which is nice, but it’s not so safe. First evening we saw some locals fighting right in front the house, our older kid got very scared. And later the guard shining the long range light in our bedroom windows made our kid think that it’s very not safe and we all had a sleepless night. I tried to communicate to the host, but she just dismissed all and stopped communicating.

As per your review, thank you for all the constructive criticism. Windows have wooden shutters that can be closed in case of too much light, or frightened children, that could've helped. AC units received Maintenace the week before your arrival as I do so meticulously once a month. Security guard is at hand every night on the property to ensure guests tranquility, desolated if this was hindering, twas meant to be comforting. And Karol my assistant and daily housekeeper was taken aback that you did not ask her for help, as she is there to aid guests, she could have solved your problems.

We absolutely loved our stay at Lina’s beach house. The house was clean, comfortable, and the additional services she arranged were very much appreciated. We had a couple of delicious meals catered at the house for our family, which after a long day of travel with young kids was particularly enjoyable! The option to use the pool at the hotel next door was fantastic- we felt like we had the best of both worlds! The family of howler monkeys living above the pool were an added bonus. In Lina’s garden we saw numerous iguanas and a variety of birds, including a pair of green parrots! All of this on top of being located directly on the beach… couldn’t ask for anything more. Thanks again Lina for an excellent stay!!

Thank you for choosing Casa Lina, trust you will be back and spread the word too

Beautiful oceanfront house with everything you need; Lina was very communicative and provided amazing concierge services

Beautiful location directly on the beach with a view of the waves and palm trees.  Bedrooms have good air conditioning.   The central house has no AC but large doors open to the outside breeze.  It got a little warm but was acceptable.  House is not luxurious but very practical and comfortable.  We enjoyed our stay

Casa de Lina and Lina were wonderful. The photos do not justify how beautiful this home and surrondings are. Lina was very friendly, immediate communications. Anything we wanted she provided. I asked a cook than she suggested catering because we did not want to eat everyday at home. Our lunch was ready when we entered home. Ceviche, red snapper, steak!!! All super delicious! Our pick up from airport was easy with driver’s card on hand with my name on it. This was a girls trip and my friends -5 of us- found peace in our 4 nights stay. Miguel our night guard made us feel at ease. Karol, Alina’s Adistan was home 8 outs a day, making our beds, cleaning up tidying. The house is right on the beach. Get up up and walk into the ocean to take shower. We had massages on the beach. Lina arranged coconut deliveries every morning! Arranged private yoga instructor. She is  ULTRA SUOER HOST!! She arranged drivers for everywhere we wanted to go. I am definetly returning to this house.

The location, house, views, proximity and even nearby services is perfect. And if it is not, Lina would definitely make it perfect. Spot on, especially with 3 small kids.

Truly unique AirBnB. Apart from the private bedrooms (with A/C) it really feels like outdoor living, with an open air courtyard, wall of doors opening onto the beach, and breeze blowing through the whole house. Can sit on the couch or at the table and hear the wildlife in the morning or the waves crashing at night. With this comes sharing your home with some ceiling geckos, occasional bird wandering through the kitchen, and iguanas checking out the patio - but that’s part of the charm. The beach is public and people will set up for the day in line with the backyard but the house is set far enough back that it never felt intrusive and there are some trees and landscaping to provide privacy. If you leave the house empty then shutting up all the doors/shutters can be a bit of a chore - if the housekeeper is still there they will do it for you. (The housekeeper is there quite a bit, but not intrusive). We also had a security guard on the premises at night making rounds which was nice.

Thank you for your stay and review, trust to see you again

Location is great for families with younger children. Water isn’t as celestial blue as other beaches. Karol came in and made beds and swept daily. Beautiful home layout. Loved the views.

Thank you for taking the time  to leave a review and thanks for choosing Casa Lina

This place was absolutely amazing. Kid friendly. Great chefs and Carol was great for the made service. She was very helpful. Our 6 adult/ 3 kids under age 4 holiday vacation was wonderful. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your stay and for the review, trust  you will be back

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Lina! There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room to spare. The space was clean and matched the pictures really well. Lina was wonderful to communicate with and helped us arrange a fishing excursion and an at-home massage. The hammocks and ocean views were the highlight for us all. Cold A/C in the rooms, well-equipped kitchen, and plenty of beach towels. We have no complaints and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! 10/10 would recommend. Hammocks Ocean views Clean

Thank you for  choosing Casa Lina it our pleasure to indulge you on your vacation, we aim to please with perfection

The house is Hermosa. Front of the beach. The sea is like a pool!! A quiet place. Super relaxing!!! Privado!!!

La casa es Hermosa. Frente a la playa. El mar es como una piscina!! Un lugar tranquilo. Súper relajante!!! Privado!!!

Thank you for choosing to stay in Casa Lina, trust you will be back soon

We live in Costa Rica and use Linas house when friends come to town.   She is a great person and the place is off the charts.   Very accessible and texts to check in

Thank you once again for continuing to choose Casa Lina

From start to finish the stay was wonderful. Even though the pictures do seem accurate, I have to say that we were still even more surprised when we entered the home. Pictures cannot capture how close you are to the ocean, the beautiful open space, and the clean and cozy feel. We loved the location on the southern end of the beach - away from the hubbub and crowds, yet still walking distance to the beachfront restaurants if you wished. Daily cleaning service was not expected but a nice touch. A rental car is a must for the location. Lina was responsive and available for any questions or services. I was worried about having another rental property on-site but no need to worry - the other smaller property is not within earshot. They do need to walk past the home and through the front yard to access the beach so you may see them from time to time. Overall a very comfortable stay for our party of 7 and would recommend for anyone wanting a beachfront oasis.

Absolutely beautiful home. Restaurant next store and the beach here is rock and seaweed free. Loved the monkeys and the iguanas. Will definitely return

Lina’s home is in the perfect location, on the quietest part of the beach. The home is beautiful and comfortable for a group. We stayed with two small children and being directly on the beach made our vacation easy and enjoyable. Having a housekeeper during our stay was a great bonus! Don’t hesitate to book!

Lina has one of the best spots right on the beach in the hidden gem of playa hermosa.  You can not beat the location and the house is beautiful. Anything you need and she is right there for you.

It was a pleaure to have had your guests at Casa Lina, thanks

Casa Lina is so incredible! We  were 3 families with 6 kids under 5 and the location and home couldn’t have been more perfect. The beach is so beautiful and right out front. Very calm and kid friendly. The home is half outdoor/indoor which is also so amazing for kids to have fun with water  and parents to relax. Lina was an amazing host and connected us with incredible locals to help us with meals and cleaning which made the whole experience more seamless and relaxing for all. Also highly recommend the boat tour Lina recommended with fishing. Everything was amazing ! Thanks again, Lina!

Nice and comfortable house, right on the beach, in a quiet bay, except on weekends which is a little more crowded. The house is very nice, with amenities for everyone. A few minor things that could be improved. We had a great time.

Linda y confortable casa, al pie de la playa, en una bahía tranquila, salvo los fines de semana que es un poco más concurrida. La casa está muy bien, con comodidades para todos. Algunos detalles menores que podrían mejorar. La pasamos genial.

Absolutely stunning property! So beautiful and authentic. And of course the view was amazing. Peaceful and relaxing. Well tended and very clean. It was the perfect Costa Rican beach house. 6 of us fit comfortably and had plenty of room. We absolutely loved it!

Very comfortable beachfront home. The host was easy to get in touch with and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the stay.

we are absolutely in love with this house. the view is enchanting. it's right on the beach but still feels private. when the doors are opened up the ocean breeze comes through all day long and you can sit on patio or living room for hours with the sound of the surf. we were visited by both monkeys and iguanas in the gardens. the bedrooms where air-conditioned if the heat became to much. we had an amazing vacation and will return to this house

Lina's place is situated in front of the tranquil Hermosa Beach, in a lovely setting of palm and mango trees.  We enjoyed the local iguanas, birds, squirrels, and most importantly the howler monkeys that visited us several times.  There are a couple of wonderful restaurants just a few steps outside the property and nearby hotels, and several other choices in the immediate area.  The home was equipped with everything we needed, including daily maid service.  Karol was wonderful and kept the house in perfect condition.  Down on the beach in front of the home we could contract boat rentals for fishing, snorkeling, or sightseeing, kayaks, waverunners, or even a tranquil massage under the trees with the warm ocean breezes.  The home is perfect for large or multiple families, just make sure the bedroom configuration works for larger groups, as there are only 3 of them.  The living areas and dining areas are also very large, and outdoor space is expansive.  We would recommend this home to others looking to spend a week on the beachfront with lots of space for all.

This home was wonderful, spacious and comfortable. The views of the beach are spectacular. We loved waking up and sitting out on the patio looking at the calmness and serenity of the ocean while drinking our coffee and planning out our day. Everything you need is on the property or near the property. If you want to walk down to a restaurant or bar, you can be at any number of them within minutes. Note that the pictures are a bit deceiving - the beach is much closer than it appears. The beach also gets crowded and busy during the day and on the weekends, like any other beach. Plan on seeing all kinds of nature, animals and critters on the property. We saw monkeys, iguanas, beautiful birds, and other animals throughout the week. The big kids and little kids loved it all! The home itself, while older, is open, airy and plenty of space for a large group or family. You can congregate with your family and slip off to your room or another part of the property to get away if needed. The bedrooms are spacious and bathrooms perfect. Lina made sure all the little amenities were provided, as well as the essentials. Lina made sure we had everything we needed, and if not, she had someone get whatever we needed. Lina was more than a super host, she was like a friend, who made sure all was well - whatever the case. Lina arranged for transportation for us to and from the airport, had someone deliver groceries and drinks to the home, waiting on us when we arrived. She gave us recommendations for a persona chef, and also gave us all kinds of suggestions of things to do, and places to go. In all, from sun-up to sun down, Lina made sure our stay was perfect. And it was. This house and home is warm, inviting and perfect for a large family or big group to enjoy all the beauty and contrast Costa Rica has to offer. I highly recommend renting this home if you want to visit Costa Rica. You will love it, as we did. Promise.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this place and Lina, our host. The place is right on the beach, enormous, and beautifully kept up. The photos don't do it justice. It has the charm of an older place, while still being very well taken care of and having everything we needed. There were 11 of us staying in the house, and, even though we were sharing rooms, it felt like more than enough space for everyone. Lots of wonderful common spaces, plenty of parking, and such a wonderful airy, open feeling to the whole house. More than anything, though, I can't thank Lina enough for all her help and recommendations while we were planning our trip. She had great tips on activities and even connected us with an amazing chef who cooked meals at the house for our large group. Lina was easy to communicate with through the whole process, and we could not have been happier with the whole trip.
