Lux Villa - amazing ocean views - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Our stay was absolutely amazing! The home was lovely and the views were incredible. We watched one of the most beautiful sunsets we have every witnessed right from the backyard looking out toward the ocean. Michelle, the concierge for our stay, was proactive in her communication, responsive to any questions during our stay, and very flexible when we had delays at the airport. If we are lucky enough to return to Costa Rica, we will be staying here!

Beautiful Villa, fantastic gated community. Great house, very secure and private. WIFI was excellent. Directions were a little off but very responsive host Michele made it work. Only 30 minutes from Liberia airport. Michele recommended Mangroove Beach club for a day pass and it was amazing.

I read many reviews before I booked, and several mentioned that the property was even better than the photos. That ultimately helped me choose this home over others in the area. I have to start this review with that same sentiment. This home, its location, and the views are even BETTER than the photos! From the beautiful interior design and spacious layout to the privacy and breathtaking scenery, everything exceeded our expectations. The photos are fantastic, but experiencing it in person is on another level. Our family of four, including our 22- and 25-year-old adult children, had an amazing vacation! Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, which was wonderful, and the indoor and especially outdoor gathering spaces created so many opportunities for fun and quality time together. The sunsets are SPECTACULAR! We enjoyed a catamaran/snorkeling cruise out of Playas del Coco and a beach day at the Waldorf Astoria (lots of steps, but absolutely worth it). We would totally stay again!

What an amazing Airbnb. From the concierge Francisco who helped with our rental car reservation to the restaurant and excursion recommendations. Everything was perfect. Felt very safe and the location is perfect with the most amazing sunsets. Would highly recommend for families or anyone wanting rest and relaxation.

Thank you for that wonderful review. we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we are always happy to help in a pinch!

This was hands down the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The home is even more beautiful than the photos, luxurious, incredibly well crafted, and filled with thoughtful details. You can tell so much care went into creating the space. The views from the property are incredible and it’s in a gated community with security. Francisco was a sensational host so responsive, welcoming, and genuinely amazing. I couldn’t recommend this place more we’ll be back for sure!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated what sets us apart!

I would give this experience and stay 6-stars if that were an option. The home exceeded our expectations. It was clean, beautiful, and Francisco met us there and gave us a tour on arrival. Francisco was the most incredible host — like a trip concierge. He recommended the most amazing activities and restaurants, booked it all for us, and was available for help if we needed him. He ensured we had the best experience in Costa Rics while staying at the AirBnb. We’d highly recommend this home and hope to return one day.

The best AirBnB we have ever stayed at. The house is better than the photos, everything you need. Francisco is the best - helped organize a car, fishing and snorkeling trips with great recommendations for everything else! Would stay here again 100 times over. Stop researching and book this place :) 7&9 year old, in-laws and mom and dad. Perfect spot!

WOW thank you for that glowing review. we are so glad you enjoyed the house and our services. We hope you will make it back again!

Wow! There aren’t enough words to describe our experience at this beautiful home. The surroundings were peaceful, beautiful and private. The pictures don’t do it justice. The amenities were perfect, fresh guacamole and chips waited for us upon arrival, and the host helped us during our stay with restaurants, things to do, etc. The home and pool is private, with beautiful views, trees, and foliage. Our children loved the pool and we felt super safe in the neighborhood. We will certainly return!

We really appreciate this beautiful review and are so happy you enjoyed Kalm Palms and your visit to Costa Rica. We will be waiting for that return trip!

This house was amaaazzzing! Stayed here for our honeymoon and it was just as advertised and frank was amazing. Helped us with whatever we needed.  We highly recommend booking this house for your stay in CR.

Wonderful stay at Kalm Palms! Villa was our own private oasis. More beautiful than the pictures. Francisco went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed and some! From arranging tours, to beach and restaurant tips, Fran was always available to create the family vacation of our dreams. Special shout out to Joaquin from Coco Tours who did more than just transport but took us on what felt like our own unique Costa Rica experience!

we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us!

Photos truly don't capture just how beautiful this home is! Our family of six—traveling with kids and grandparents—absolutely loved our stay here. The house had everything we needed to feel at home, from a fully equipped kitchen for family meals to a comfortable layout that suited all ages. The location was ideal, with restaurants and grocery stores nearby, and we felt completely safe in the gated community. After looking at many rental options before our trip to Costa Rica, we are so glad we chose this one. Francisco was an exceptional host—responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making our trip unforgettable. We look forward to booking this property again in the future!

Thank you so much for your beautiful review and we are so happy you enjoyed your experience in Villa Kalm Palms. Our goal is make every trip very memorable!

I can’t say enough good things about this incredible property in Costa Rica. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty and tranquility of the surroundings. The home is even more stunning than the photos—thoughtfully designed, impeccably clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying our coffee with a view of the lush jungle and distant ocean was truly magical. The pool was perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring, and the outdoor spaces made us feel completely immersed in nature. Our hosts were kind, responsive, and offered great local recommendations—from hidden beaches to amazing restaurants. Their hospitality made our trip even more special. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway with a touch of luxury, this is the place. We’re already dreaming of coming back!

We are so happy you enjoyed our little piece of paradise and appreciated all the extras in this beautiful home. We will look forward to another visit in the future!

Our stay at Playa Hermosa was, without a doubt, our favorite vacation to date—and a huge part of that was thanks to this incredible Airbnb. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. The hosts went above and beyond with proactive communication and helpful recommendations that made exploring the area easy and enjoyable. The property itself was stunning—a beautiful spot with an ocean view. I spent every night watching some of the most incredible sunsets, while relaxing in the pool. We also really appreciated the added sense of security that came from being in a gated community with a security guard. It gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment. We’re already talking about plans to visit again soon.

Thank you Brian. We are so happy you enjoyed this little slice of paradise!  Hope to see you again!

Stayed here from February 14 - February 21, 6 people (my wife and I and my two adult children and their spouse/gf). Very hard to put into words how amazing this villa is. From the beginning when we booked it, the communication was excellent. Was provided ideas for activities, restaurants and more. Booked my car rental with the support team and it was flawless. Francisco, our concierge was amazing, helping us throughout our entire stay with so many different things (from restaurant reservations, calling for us to get food delivered for dinner and was clutch when my car rental got a flat tire and helped get me roadside assistance. Francisco was available at all times, extremely responsive and made our stay very comfortable. A 10 minute walk to the beach at Playa Hermosa, a short drive to restaurants in the area, a 15 minute drive to a very good supermarket in Playa Del Coco (even though there is a much smaller supermarket just outside the community). Highly recommend!!!

The house is nicer than the photos!!!! We were comfortable and delighted by the views and sunsets and comfortable/elegant home. The concierge support we received while there was probably the most important value add and made the trip markedly better. We only had four days there so would’ve been a steep learning curve without the help of the concierge who got us reservations, a birthday cake with dietary restrictions and suggestions for activities.

My family loved this house.  We had such good, quality family time.  It was peaceful and fun to be in Costa Rica.  This is a beautiful airbnb.  We loved the neighborhood because it was gated and the hills were excellent for walking.  Spending 30 minutes walking gave me a 500 feet elevation gain.  We really liked the grocery service that they provided before we arrived.

The house was well represented by the photos and description. Francisco - the property manager met us to check in, communicated regularly throughout the week and came back before checkout to see if we needed anything. We were a family of five with h to three college aged kids and the place was nearly perfect. We spent most of our time on the porch enjoying the pool and views. Super clean and well appointed and convenient to local restaurants and Playa Hermosa. (<10 min walk). House is secure in a gated community which made it feel extra safe. Three mornings we had help with breakfasts which were arranged through Francisco. Olga was a fantastic cook and did way more cleaning than we expected. We also arranged an in house chef (Chef Paulo) for NYE. Luxuries that not all may choose but were great for us. Will definitely look at this property again for our next visit back to Costa Rica.

Thank you so much for this glowing review. we are so happy to hear you enjoyed you stay in Kalm Palms.  I will pass along your kind words to the team!

The place was amazing. Francisco the concierge was incredible. We had all sort of flight issues getting down there and he stayed in touch and rebooked our dinners and activities several times.  We did 2 dinners as well as breakfasts and that was delightful and well worth it.  We also had massages at the house, that was also amazing and quite luxurious! We would definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much for this lovely review. we are so glad you  were able to enjoy your stay even after the rough start!!  And yes, Francisco is a treasure!  We will see you next time!

This was hands down the best Airbnb experience we've had. The concierge team that assisted with this property is top notch. Frank, our contact, is truly THE BEST. Our plans were completely curtailed by a tropical storm in the area and Frank came to our rescue with new activities, restaurant reservations and helped us extend our rental car reservation (twice!). The home itself is absolutely beautiful. Very clean, quiet, well-stocked and with gorgeous views inside a 24-hour guarded neighborhood. We are already looking to plan another trip with family to stay at one of Kelsey's beautiful, well-managed properties. Thank you for a great stay!

Hi Erin. i am so happy to see your beautiful review. i know it was a tough week with those rains. we would love to have you back! i will reach out and send you some of our other homes to review for the next trip!!!

Stayed for a girls trip and everything was fantastic. All the recommendations were great and Francisco was so accommodating and helpful during our stay. The house is beautiful and clean. We hung out by the pool when we were at the house and it was so relaxing, the location is so private. The breakfast each day was really delicious and the housekeeping was a great add. Francisco helped us rearrange our activities a bit due to the weather and it worked out perfectly. What a special trip, each of us is thinking of coming back with our families!!

Beautiful, well-maintained home. I agree with earlier reviews that the inside pictures don’t do the interior justice. We are a family of 4, two adults and two teens (13 & 15) and stayed for 10 days so we had some ‘off’ days where we could really enjoy the villa. Plenty of room and amenities. This was the first time we had an AirBNB/VRBO with concierge service and it was fantastic. The suggestions they made took the stress out of planning and Francisco was wonderful and very responsive. The one deviation we made to the suggestions was for dining. Since we did have an extended stay, we explored the local ‘sodas’ for dining as this area of Costa Rica can rival (and exceed) US prices for meals. We’ve been staying at AirBNB/VRBOs for years, and this by far was the best.

Kelsey's property was beautiful, spacious, clean and peaceful. Enjoyed the AC and ceiling fans to stay cool as well as relaxing in the pool. We worked with Francisco throughout our stay who was super resourceful and responsive with any questions that I had, and he provided many options for restaurants and activities to do. Neliz and Devin were absolutely excellent with cooking breakfast and helping us keep the home tidy. Great experience in Guanacaste!

Best place to stay in Costa Rica! Loved the spot and staff was extremely friendly I would return!

This place is PERFECT!  We stayed here with 4 young kids - 7, 6, 5 and 2 and it was the perfect spot for our family. The house is incredible, pool is warm with an incredible view. Francisco is the property manager - he is INCREDIBLY PROFESSIONAL AND TIMELY IN ALL RESPONSES. He gave us a very detailed tour. Access to 4 beaches that are driveable (10 mins) - use the pacifico beach club for pool and beach access. He had groceries waiting for us. 10/10.

Kalm Palms exceeded my expectations! Francisco greeted us upon arrival and showed us the house and how to work everything. It felt very safe and secure; from being in a gated community to an alarm being set on the house. I was super impressed with how the house came stocked, there were plenty of spices, dishwasher pods, paper towels, coffee, laundry detergent, and trash bags. If you're from the U.S. you know a lot of these things are not provided in rentals, or at the very least, the bare minimum. It was PLENTY to get you by for what you need for your stay. Francisco was AMAZING, wonderful communication, very responsive and arranged everything for us. They provide you with a sample itinerary upon arrival, take my advice and follow their recommendations. If you rent KALM PALMS you have a particular taste, his recommendations match that style. Save time, they have the best prices, I checked. Everywhere is safe that they recommend and top notch (elegant & trendy)! You won't regret it!

This place was absolutely beautiful! It was even better than the pictures. Francisco, our house host greeted us upon arriving.  He showed us around and explained everything that we needed to know about the house and everything that is available to us around the area. He also had a whole booklet of recommendations of things to do and restaurants to eat at which was very helpful. We felt right at home.  I messaged him and told him it’s my daughter’s birthday and I needed something special for her. When we arrived at the house it was decorated with balloons and he also provided my daughter with  a gluten free cake! We were very impressed with his hospitality and how beautiful and stocked the house was. Anything you need was already thought of and provided. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever been in a house, that had everything you can ever need. It was very impressive.  Also, any questions or concerns we had about the activities and restaurants Francisco was only a text away.

A great few days with very attentive and helpful hosts! Can’t say enough good things about Francisco and his team at Full Spectrum- helped plan and organize each outing, in home breakfast, car rental, etc! Highly recommend!!!

This villa was one of the best, nicest places we have ever stayed at. It met every expectation from start to finish. Francisco was our concierge and went over and above for us. We would definitely stay there again. It made our trip to Costa Rica the most memorable trip we could ever ask for!  Thanks again Francisco and Kelsey!

This airbnb was absolutely amazing. Not only was it beautiful and peaceful, it was super easy to find. I came with my girlfriend and two kids. It was about a 30-40 min drive from Liberia airport. Once we arrived, Francisco met us at the door and gave us a full tour, instructions and recommendations for places to visit and eat. He also assisted in helping to decorate a surprise proposal to my now fiance on her birthday. He is really a great guy. Overall the place is a 10/10. and I would definitely come back.

do not know where to start. we had the most wonderful time at this palace ( yes, it is hugeeee) we spent 7 days here, family of 4, two boys ages 14 and 9. the pictures dont do it justice!!!! the views are amazing, amazing sunrises and sunsets, relaxing time in and around the pool. the villa has everything one might ask for and there is a grocery store right infront of the gates of the property. francisco, our concierge was such a pleasure to work with, he takes care promtlely and responsibly of all your needs. everything he recommended was a total hit!  we did an afternoon boat tour with marlin rayado, glorious sunset, snorkel, beach exploration, we caught a fish and they served it for us as a sushi snack- AMAZING. chef aron cooked up 3 allergy friendly meals right at the villa and the massages at the villa were wonderful. we have felt so well taken care of, no questions asked. we will be back!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful home in the heart of Playa Hermosa. Secluded, yet close enough to the action in the area. We stayed for 4 days/3 nights as a family of 4 (kids are 9 and 11 y/o). The pool, views, and grounds were impeccable. We did not walk out of the neighborhood to Playa Hermosa, but definitely possible. We drove to several nearby beaches (you definitely get the "culture" experience doing this) and it was amazing to come home to our peaceful villa and pool with amazing ocean and sunset views. We saw a family of howler monkeys our first evening right by the pool... would recommend and would stay again!

Our family of four and one set of grandparents had an excellent visit here. House is very well laid out and spacious with great indoor and outdoor area. This is a great option if you plan on visiting Playa Hermosa, Playa de Coco or some of the smaller neighboring beaches. Frank who is the concierge was amazing and very proactive. He helped with car rental, private chefs for breakfast and dinner, transfers, local recommendations and on and on. He was always available for us if we had spur of the moment questions. Olga who cooked us breakfast 2x was lovely and made us delicious breakfasts. House is very conveniently located to Liberia airport (25 to 30 mins) and 3 mins drive to Playa Hermosa. There is a grocery store (Luperon) more or less at the entrance to the neighborhood where the house is located which has everything you would need including an extensive wine selection. House is exactly as advertised. Clean, spacious, all the amenities and great and professional service.

We are so glad you enjoyed! hope to see you again!

This place exceeded our expectations. The pictures do not do it justice! It has so much space and is so beautiful inside and out. It is very clean and has everything you need in a vacation home!Francisco was so easy going and helpful even before our trip started. The whole experience was amazing! A small grocery store around the corner. There are quiet beaches and restaurants around with access to some of the resorts for meals also. We loved everyday spent at this villa!

We enjoyed the house with its high ceilings and bright views, looking out on the mountains. It was easy to drive down to the road to go wherever we wanted. Very restful vacation. We used the kitchen to cook and enjoyed the pool and patios.

Absolutely stunning!!! The pictures are beautiful but this place is even better in person. Beautiful layout. Very close drive to the beach (less than 5 minutes) and grocery store right outside the gated community. Very spacious. Francisco (the property manager) and his team take this place to another level...his local recommendations, the breakfasts and overall friendliness make this a 5-star experience. Travelled with 2 children (7 & 9 years old) - absolutely perfect for a family.

We had an incredible stay here as a family of four (kids 2 and 4). Francisco was an amazing local host and concierge, and the itinerary he arranged for us was perfect from the boat tour, eco center, beaches, restaurants, in-home massage and in-home private chef breakfasts and dinners. The house itself is beautifully designed, decorated and cared for. The pool and view are gorgeous and we never wanted to leave. Thank you for making our family vacation so amazing!

This Property at Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica meet and exceeded expectations. Starting with a attentive and friendly Host who made himself available 24/7 to a Incredible Home with impecable, newly furnished home that makes your vacations enjoyable. Pros: Secured and gate community, friendly host, modern home with all amenities, pool with Incredible ocean view , great location to best area beaches and restaurants. Overall , great stay, and highly-rated, and recommended. Would stay again ! Capt. Jd Vega

This was hands down the best Airbnb stay I’ve ever had. This made it the most relaxing vacation in history. Kelsey was very responsive and ensured that our stay was the absolute best by connecting us with the Villa concierge, Francisco, ahead of time which lead to a professional itinerary which included our selections and some great suggestions. To ensure that we could have the best experience possible, Francisco sent us a list of possible activities and in house services available such as massages, facials, private chef dining options, and daily breakfast with light cleaning options. We basically chose everything and we were so happy because Elena was absolutely wonderful!! Francisco is very responsive and always provided great information and even helped us to make any itinerary changes we wanted. We felt very safe as he checked in daily to ensure that we found each excursion or restaurant. His planning made everything great. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.

Well thanks a lot Kalm Palms, you have now wrecked all future vacations for us - because what else could possibly exceed the paradise we were lucky enough to enjoy this past week? Not only did the home and setting meet every expectation, it had things we didn’t even know we needed. A private infinity pool with a view of the ocean? We had no idea we needed that, but yes - whether sitting with my coffee in the mornings and listening to the birds while dipping my feet in the cool water, or plunging in after days spent hiking and exploring, there is nothing better. A concierge service? Also yes - from planning our itinerary and making reservations, to having snacks waiting in the fridge everyday, help was always a text or email away. A huge walk-in closet? Yep. Even labels on every light switch. More thoughtful touches than a 1000 character limit will allow, but we do plan to return, at which point I will continue my love letter to Kalm Palms in the next review. What a stay! Pura vida!

An amazing house to rest in, the host is an excellent person and showed initiative from day one, thank you Kelsey. Impeccable cleanliness, a lot of security and above all an incredible view.

Una casa increíble para descansar, la anfitriona es una excelente persona y mostró iniciativa desde el primer día, gracias Kelsey. Limpieza impecable, mucha seguridad y sobre todo una vista increíble.

thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. we loved having you all and i do hope you will visit again!

The Airbnb was amazing and is exactly what anyone would want when visiting Costa Rica. It’s private and has great amenities like the pool, large open living room, and big kitchen, and close to the beaches. My only regret was not staying longer here as it would have been the perfect place to spend a week or even a month.
