The Space

Experience the "Pura Vida" lifestyle in this oceanfront villa located in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. This beachfront property includes a main house with four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, plus a detached one-bedroom guest house.

Upon entering Casa Caricaco through the main gate, you are greeted by a lush tropical garden and the stunning blue ocean of Costa Rica's golden coast. The villa features vibrant colors, clean lines, and tropical chic décor, creating a serene beachfront retreat.

Outdoor dining is a highlight here, allowing you to enjoy meals while taking in ocean views and the soothing sounds of waves and tropical wildlife. Instead of a pool, the warm, calm ocean is just steps away, perfect for swimming daily. A two-person kayak is also available for your enjoyment.

The main house accommodates up to 10 guests with two bedrooms on the ground floor and two on the second floor. The ground floor master bedroom includes a queen-size bed and an en-suite bathroom with a rain shower that lets you shower under the sun or stars. The second bedroom on this floor has two single beds and a full bathroom nearby.

Upstairs, a spacious terrace offers ample seating to relax while listening to the ocean and tropical breeze—an ideal spot for massages. The second-floor master bedroom features a queen-size bed, ocean views, and an en-suite bathroom. There is also a family room with two bunk beds (a full-size bed on the bottom and a single on top), perfect for children or a family, with its own bathroom. A convenient half bathroom is located at the end of the hallway.

The detached guest house, Casa Aqua, includes a bedroom with a king-size bed and two twin beds, a private bathroom, a terrace with garden views, and a fully equipped kitchen. This space is perfect for families or guests seeking additional privacy.

The kitchen in the main house is fully stocked with a refrigerator, oven, microwave, blender, pots, pans, dinnerware, and silverware. Basic spices such as salt and pepper are provided.

The house is one of a kind in Playa Hermosa—beachfront in the middle of a beautiful, quiet beach facing sunsets. The property’s caretaker is wonderful, responsive, and very friendly and kind. He handles laundry onsite for a fee. Each bedroom has an AC unit but the kitchen and living room do not. It has elements of an outdoorsy beach house: showers occasionally run cold, toilets can’t handle toilet paper, and bugs are present. None of those details prevented us from a great stay. We never felt unsafe at PH yet the security measures (alarm system, door/window drop-down gates, several keys to entrances) can be intimidating at first. Also expect and enjoy that PH is a public beach, so vendors, locals, dogs, and tourists pass the property. Restaurants are walkable on the beach (Niromi/Hotel Basque Del Mar and AquaSport) or a short drive away (Ginger). There is parking for 2 cars and a locked gate that you push open. The separate guest house was also nice and provides extra space and quiet.

Absolute dream location. Right on the beach, so peaceful. we arrived and were welcomed by our host, they gave us instructions and let us be. The house was spotless, well maintained, organized and fully stocked for all of our needs. Walkable to some restaurants and had a market down the road for essentials. very secure home, never felt unsafe. Our group of 4 adults and 6 kids fit perfect. we loved Nelson and his wife who stayed on the property and helped maintain it. We saw lots of wildlife from our lawn, even. Nelson even found a little lizard and shared with the kids! Great spot, when we return to CR we will come here

Best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. Open concept right on the beach. Each bedroom had something that made it special. Fully equipped kitchen. Nice linens and towels, beautiful beach that was quiet and not overcrowded. Massages steps away. Great restaurants nearby. We never wanted to leave. Nelson was most attentive and friendly. We loved him! Our group will be back no question.

A beautiful home with playa hermosa as your backyard! It was the perfect weekend away with 8 friends! The home has comfortable beds and hang out areas. Management was super helpful in planning our stay, connecting us with a chef and boat tour company as well as sharing all options for the area. There is wonderful on site support, Nelson and his wife who made everything easy for our short stay. Highly recommend for families or friend groups. We will be back!

Our 3 generation family of ten had the most wonderful Christmas week visit - plenty of indoor and outdoor places to congregate and great fun on the beach as well as several excursions - we ended up with two cars which gave us flexibility. Both chef-prepared dinners were wonderful, organized through Raquel at Brokers

We loved absolutely everything about our stay! The place has great inside and outside areas to spend time together. The bedrooms offer quiet and privacy. The kitchen is well appointed. There are restaurants that are walkable but we cooked our entire stay. The location looks out to the ocean. The ocean view is amazing. Playa Hermosa’s close proximity to the airport in Liberia means you can enjoy every last minute if your vacation. The linens and beds were perfect. The house has a very colorful, cozy, welcoming feel to it. The beach - great beach for swimming and for kids to play on the water. We loved everything about our stay and will return.

We had an excellent stay at this property with my family of 5 + 1. The house is beautiful and well equipped. We stayed in the main house, not needing the extra space of the guest house. The broker (Raquel) is very nice, and reached out ahead of time and offered to help make reservations. We took her up on arranging a private boat trip, and a chef to cook us a dinner in the house (both of which were very fun). Raquel also met us at the property when we arrived and showed us around. There is a couple who care for the property daily. Nelson maintained the yard, and set up chairs and tables for us in the yard daily, and couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We don't speak Spanish, but were able to communicate clearly with him through Google Translate. His wife (Brezelda) helped keep the kitchen and house clean, and did a load of laundry for us when we started running out of clothes. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend this property!
