Casa Plumnelly • Ocean-View Hillside Villa - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

This home is beautiful and has everything needed for a great holiday stay. The beds were comfortable, the home was very clean, and the bathrooms were well stocked with toiletries and towels. The pool area was excellent with plenty of seating, outdoor cooking options, and beach supplies available in the garage. The internet speeds were great for streaming and gaming, and the large-capacity washer and dryer were very convenient. The hosts were pleasant, responsive, and offered helpful services such as grocery delivery, concierge assistance, and restaurant reservations. The location is perfect — about 30 minutes from the airport and close to Papagayo and Playa del Coco. The sunset views are amazing, and this is easily one of my favorite areas in Costa Rica because of the convenience and nearby amenities. My only minor complaint is that the house can get warm unless the AC and fans run continuously, but it was not a major issue for us. I would absolutely love to revisit this home.

The location of this place and views are great.  However they need to fix few things like shower/ hot water issue in master bath, ants in the kitchen floor etc.   Also we saw several security cameras on the property/ pool areas and sensors inside.   We had to take their word that the cameras were not "on" when we were staying, but we thought Air BnB policy does not permit cameras anymore.

Casa Plumnelly was a wonderful place to stay in Playa Hermosa! The house itself was just as described and the pictures represent the casa very well. The outdoor space is amazing. The pool as a great temperature to use daily! The outdoor furniture is comfortable, PLENTY of pool towels available for use during your stay. Rebecca was extremely responsive to some small requests of things that we needed during our stay. The room configuration was perfect for our family of 5. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were, everyone slept well! The location is walkable to the beach. The only thing to note - the last 200 steps to the house are quite steep. We walked it each day - but a small barrier for some. It was really nice that there are some sidewalks to use in the neighboring area. There is a grocery store at the bottom of the hill, with all the grocery needs you might have. The house is in a gated community and the security guards are very kind and helpful.

Staying at Casa Plumnelly was a great experience and I would definitely stay here again!

This property is simply beautiful.  The view is spectacular and the home is spacious and pristine.  It is beautifully decorated and has everything you need. It was incredibly clean. Sitting outside eating a meal or swimming with the incredible view never got old.  Zindis did a good job of communicating and also helping us extend our stay when we had a cancelled flight.  Overall, I would recommend this property.

Javier was the concierge for our stay.  He was so responsive and helpful with answering local questions, booking reservations, and pre - arrival things to consider.  The Zindis guidebook was extremely well done and answered so many questions in addition to providing detailed information on anything from tours, restaurants, area guides, and airport arrival/departure details.

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that Javier took great care of you and helped make your stay seamless from start to finish. Providing responsive support, helpful local insight, and smooth pre-arrival planning is exactly what we aim for, and we’re so glad that came through during your visit. It’s also fantastic to know you found the Zindis guidebook valuable and informative. We put a lot of thought into creating a resource that truly enhances our guests’ experience, so your feedback means a lot to us. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for another amazing stay in Costa Rica! 🌴✨ Warm regards, Aby Reservations | ZINDIS Group

Stunning location with expansive views. Large open spaces with high ceilings, as well as amazing pool with view of the ocean and surrounding hills. A truly fantastic spot. If you are planning to cook while there, be aware the cookware is pretty worn out and in need of an upgrade. Otherwise, excellent place.

The view is amazing and the place was very neat

Matches the photos and description, simply spectacular.  We loved the visit, would 100% come back.  The Zindis group was helpful with booking excursions.  The very steep drive makes walking impractical, but not a hinderance to driving. Close to many great dining options, and several public beaches.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Location was amazing. Rebeca at Zindis was wonderful. They were very attentive and helpful with local suggestions. House looked better in person than in the pictures!

Wonderful spot right near Playa Hermosa.  House was a like sanctuary with an everyday pool swim & cocktails at sunset very quiet gated and safe neighborhood.  We were there in early June during the slower travel / rainy season.  We used the grill & stovetop to cook every meal, everything worked perfectly.  There is a smaller close market with friendly staff that could be walkable but I would recommend a vehicle.  We drove over to the Auto Mercado a much larger grocery store located in Coco about a 15-18 minute drive.  We purchased some ribeye steaks that were remarkably good.  Had all the supplies for cooking.  Definitely recommend Casa Plumnelly, Rebeca was a wonderful host from Zindis Vacation Rentals

gorgeous house for a birthday weekend, really calm safe area, well stocked with all the essentials, fantastic pool, and great communication from our hosts, couldn't ask for anything more!!

The home is amazing.  Had so much fun just hanging around the house,  visiting with family, playing games,  and enjoying the pool and view.  There were a few issues electrical issues while we were there but they were addressed as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear you had a great time enjoying the home, spending quality time with your family. We appreciate your understanding regarding the electrical issues, and we’re happy we could address them quickly during your stay. You're always welcome back, pura vida and hope to host you again soon! 🌞🏡 Warm regards, The ZINDIS Team

Beautiful place, easy check in and check out. Very clean and amazing view/location!

What a beautiful, clean, exclusively located home overlooking Playa Hermosa! We had a lovely stay in this fancy and well-appointed home. Everything was amazing. The communication was excelling, great recommendations, quick response time when there were a few issues with the house, and it was sparkly clean! Hope to come back someday!

A wonderful place for vacation. Very safe. Walkable to market, beach and restaurants. Great amenities.

Very nice house with a great view of the bay. House is well appointed and the Zindis team was always responsive.

Thank you very much for your comment, Doug! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Plumnelly. We hope to have you back soon. Pura Vida! Marilyn Bravo Client Services Manager ZINDIS Group

My family and I had a wonderful experience at the Plumnelly home. The views were INSANE and each day we were in awe of how perfect it was! It makes me want to buy my own home here. The town is super cute and definitely recommend eating at Ginger (Asian tapas) and Pescado Loco (local costa rican restaurant). I wish my vacation was longer at this home!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time at Casa Plumnelly. We look forward to hosting you again! Pura Vida! Marilyn Bravo Client Services Manager ZINDIS Group

Thank you so much for your comment JoAnn! We look forward to hosting you again in the future. Pura Vida! Marilyn Bravo Client Services Manager ZINDIS Group

A beautiful and peaceful home to enjoy your Costa Rican travels from. Family friendly and the pool is definitely a crowd pleaser!

This home is every bit as beautiful in person as it is in pictures. Definitely one of the best places we’ve stayed.

Great location, view and pool. The house was as described.

Lovely house, great view and location. Friendly host, always responsive.

Amazing home!  The location was perfect and the hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The home had everything we could wish for and the views were spectacular. Would love to visit again!

This was an amazing place! it was very clean and beautiful. We had everything we needed. The pool was so warm and just perfect! It was less than 15 minutes from everything we had planned to do. We would definitely stay here again!

What a beautiful home with spectacular views!  Check in was easy and communication was prompt.  Excellent recommendations on areas to explore and the concierge services provided us with fun filled activities!  The pool was fantastic! The layout was perfect for our family that includes teen sons.  Kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed our coffee next to the pool in the mornings. The photos of this home are accurate.  In fact, it’s absolutely beautiful and you will definitely experience Pura Vida! We can’t wait to return!

The Airbnb was beautiful and perfect for our group size! It was very easy to communicate with the ZINDIS front desk for help with taxi services and restaurant recommendations. The Airbnb is on a steep hill so keep this in mind if you plan on grocery shopping, walk in heels or need to go in and out of the Airbnb often. It is definitely a workout! Thank you so much, ZINDIS! We hope to visit Costa Rica again.

Un a word....wonderful!  Wonderful view, wonderful home, wonderful staff and a wonderful country to visit. Definitely recommend! Pura Vida!

Dear Phyllis, Pura Vida indeed! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience in Casa Plumnelly and our beautiful country. Thank you for recommending us.

Dear Britton, Thank you for your positive feedback! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back in the future. If you have any further comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let us know. Regards, Rodolfo Vargas General Manager

After spending a week here, I can't say enough good things about it. The house was clean, comfortable and amazing, but the views and pool truly make it an exceptional vacation home. There's just no way the pictures can do it justice. It was just perfect for my family (2 adults, 2 kids - 7 and 9). It's not exactly walk-able - you could do it, but it'd be a hike to the beach and up pretty steep hills in some broiling heat. In the week there we saw coatimundi, monkeys, birds of all types and iguanas at the house. There's a small market just outside the development that has all the staples you'll need. The "address" is House 12, Monte Bello, Playa Hermosa. It's in a guarded, private development. Zindis itself is a management company and can also arrange all your excursions with their folks if you'd like. It's worth noting there is zero pressure to do so; we booked a mix of them and our own. I will say the Sloth Sanctuary and Rio Celeste trip we took with Zindis's Rodrigo was awesome.

I went to Casa Pummely at playa hermosa for my birthday trip. The house was absolutely beautiful, stunning views, and beautiful infinity pool. Everything was super organized and clean. My friends and I really enjoyed the stay there. It was absolutely amazing. I really want to thank Francisco the house manager and Paula my personal concierge during my stay. They made everything so seamless so smooth, they were super attentive,accommodating, and always very quick to respond. 10 days of pure paradise. Thank you guys for the hospitality!

This property is somehow better than the pictures! The view and pool are amazing! Everyone was so helpful and great to work with. The house is about a 15-20 minute walk from the beach or a quick 3 minute drive. Wonderful restaurants right on the beach and main road anda great mini market that had everything we needed.  No need to go into Coco unless you need a larger grocery store or a restaurant open much later. The house was very clean and organized. And only 20 minutes from the airport! We loved our time here! Coatis and raccoons visited. We watched hummingbirds and butterflies and other birds visit the beautiful plants by the pool. We all felt extremely safe and had lots of privacy. Book this property and you won’t be disappointed!

House was extremely clean, beds were comfortable and beautiful view out of every window. Host Edgar was extremely helpful and attentive. Will definitely come back.

This home was absolutely amazing. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. As mentioned in a prior review the photos of this house are great but it is even better in person. Everything was needed was available to us. The house was well prepared prior to our arrival and the layout of the house allowed us to stay comfortable no matter where we were. We enjoyed breakfast and dinners indoor and outdoor, with a spectacular view. All the beds, couches and outdoor furniture were very comfortable. Edgar the house manager was very helpful. He recommended restaurants for dining and tips on what to do near by. I would definitely recommend this house and even consider staying here again.

Amazing home with Amazing views all throughout the house! I 10000 percent recommend! Edgar the house manager was so helpful and super kind!

Absolutely amazing place to stay! The house manager was so kind and helpful! This house is the perfect get away, it was so clean and had everything we needed along with the most amazing view. Cannot wait to visit again next year!

Beautiful house, beautiful view, awesome property manager as well. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t recommend this place enough.

Look no further! What a spot! I was here for 5 nights for a business trip and this house  was perfect to arrive to after working. Edgar was extremely helpful and if we had any issues he would fix it very quick.  The house was cooled off when we arrived and once Edgar opened the motorized curtains the view was incredible.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Plumnelly. It was modern and clean, and the location was perfect. The service from Zindis was also very good! Recommended!

Zindis was great! Very responsive and helpful both before and during our trip, whether it was to help us figure out how to accommodate multiple babies or recommend a personal chef. Great communication and a really nice group of people to be in touch with. The property itself was amazing. Even though the photos are great, the actual property is somehow even nicer than the photos show. Everything felt clean and new. There were little touches that made our stay that much easier and fun (e.g., laundry detergent available for use, pool noodles and a basket of pool tools next to the pool). Beds, couches, etc., were all really comfortable. View is phenomenal. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful house and great service. Especially appreciated Yury, who helped us book a great tour with Tico Tours and helped arrange the required Covid testing for our return to the US.

The home was beautiful!  The catered breakfast was delicious.  The pool was just right, and the views!  Loved it.  Also, Yuri and Edgar were awesome!  Will definitely refer this property.

The house was amazing. A family of 5 w two small children, it was the perfect set up. We felt so comfortable, everything was impeccably clean. Edgar, the house manager, was so unbelievably kind and helpful. The pool and the view! I mean you can’t beat it. In our 7 day stay, the grounds were maintained, the pool cleaned. We didn’t opt for daily housekeeping but it was offered. The grocery store is 2 min away, and playa hermosa also a couple min away. Very sleepy quiet beach but we preferred it. If you want something a little busier, coco beach is 10-15 min away. There is an animal sanctuary 30 min away which the kids loves- tamarindo is a bit of a drive but very cool lively town. We decided on getting family pics taken there at sunset (photographer samba to the sea took them and they came out beautiful) and ate a gorgeous meal at Panga beach club. Worth the drive and wish we had a little more time there. Highly highly recommend using tico tours to set up any excursions. Ian was so thoughtful when it came to our wants and needs for our day trips. We brought Covid tests that had faulty cartridges so we couldn’t use them. i text Ian and he had a nurse at the house within 5 min (!) to administer our tests for entry back into US. We did a trip to a beautiful waterfall and a chocolate tour which was so much more than just how chocolate was made. Our kids had a blast! Elvis was our guide for the day and took such good care of us. It was a long day and he was such a trooper. A 1/2 fishing trip turned exploration bc the fishing wasn’t great that day, but we saw the mangroves, explored a cave, went to a couple of different beaches only accessible by boat… it was just a day we’ll never forget. Ask for captain Carlos- so sweet and just so very accommodating. We will be back 100% Thank you Zindis!

This home so beautiful and the people at the property are extremely helpful and kind. A rental car is recommended but not required. The concierge helped our group throughout our whole trip. The house itself has beautiful views and the photos are accurate are the home. Highly recommend this property in the Tamarindo area!

Everything was great, the view was perfect and the property has everything you need. The only inconvenience is the checkout time at 10:00 am without any option to extent it to 12:00 pm, not even paying some extra fee.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice review.  Our apologies that we were not able to provide you with a late checkout on your day of departure.  We do our very best to accommodate special requests such as this, but unfortunately as a new guest was arriving that day we were unable to honor your special request.  Please note that we do need to allow extra cleaning time due to updated COVID cleaning requirements.  We hope that you truly enjoyed your stay and hope to see you back soon.

If you are looking to relax poolside overlooking blue endless water, with the sea breeze as your natural fan, this is the place for you. The house is spectacular with higher end luxury finishes(ex: comfy beds, completely stocked kitchen) and then when you go outside it melts anything other than relaxing away with fantastic views of the ocean, and sunsets just as magnificent. The location is centrally located so there is very little travel to go to many must see local attractions. It was hard to leave. And we can’t wait to be back! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing stay - great home in a great location with jaw-dropping view.

AMAZING!!! Absolutely AMAZING. Great team, awesome home, fun to work with! Really enjoyed ourselves! We will definitely be back! Pura Vida!!!
