Hermosa Treehouse: A Luxury Jungle & Beach Retreat - Treehouses for Rent in Cobano, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Our stay at Hermosa Treehouse was VERY special. It is the kind of place, from the architecture, layout, furnishings, and more, that made my husband and I feel so at home. First time in Costa Rica for us, so we were uncertain about so much. Will we like the area? Yes, we loved it so much that we are returning next year! Will the house be too remote? NO! It has just the right kind of remoteness, we could walk to the beach in 3 minutes, and to cafes and restaurants within 10 minutes. The attention and care we received from the staff was fantastic: Yoselin was extremely responsive, sweet and professional. If we didn't need something, she would check in with us discretely every day, reminding us: I am here for you. Fernanda is a joy, she cleaned and washed our clothes, but what I loved the most about her is how much she loves her job. David is a gem, taking care of the grounds or pretty much anything you need. David is one of the kindest human beings I have ever met. We are grateful!

The tree house is MAGICAL! Two minute walk to the beach; perfect pool, great yoga deck and kitchen ! Cannot recommend enough

Hands down best stay and experience. We will be back!! Do yourself a favor and book this, you will not regret a minute of it! Thank you Stephen, Yoselin, David, and entire Treehouse Team!

I'm SO happy that you had a great experience! Please come back and visit us again.

We had an amazing stay at Stephen’s beautiful home. Highly recommend it for a luxury jungle experience!

My family and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Steve’s treehouse this past week. Steve was very thorough with answering any of my questions. He was detailed and highly knowledgeable and made me confident when I committed to booking the treehouse. The treehouse is spectacular!!!! All the rooms were spacious and meticulously clean. The airiness of the entire home made you feel like you were one with nature. My favourite room was the canopy room. What an immersive experience being surrounded by the jungle and the sea. The pool area was my second favourite as the gardens are so lush and beautiful. The continuous visits from monkeys, butterflies and birds was a welcomed surprise! The skies at night – what a sight to see - with no light pollution, it feels like you can reach out and touch the stars. You cannot beat the location of the treehouse. You are a very short walk away from the BEST beach in ST. The Staff were incredible. I would return in an instant

Our family had an enjoyable stay at the Hermosa Treehouse.  It is a beautiful setting and the home construction is stunning and unique.  Kids loved the pool and Yoselin was super helpful in arranging horseback riding and snorkeling/whalewatching excursions.  One thing to note that we didn’t realize when renting is that the dirt road to points north passes along the south border of property and is frequently used by noisier vehicles such as motorbikes and ATVs, beginning in the 5-6 am hour.  Wasn’t a major issue though the prospective renter should realize the unique, open air design of the house which is so fun for letting in the sounds of nature, will also of course allow other noise to be heard.  All in all, a recommended stay.

First & foremost the home is a reflection of the exemplary host Steve. He is the definition of hospitable. About the area: Hermosa is less populated than ST & absolutely stunning. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. The house offers a very unique combination of ocean views (as its 3 stories tall) while still being walking distance to the beach. This is rare & alone worth booking the house for. The treehouse: Lives up to its name, you’re living outside in the jungle. Monkeys 🐒 will come visit, butterflies🦋, raccoons 🦝 , lizards 🦎 , crabs 🦀 … all are out & about. The yoga deck is a powerful place to enjoy the jungle, ocean & treehouse views. The house is more than a place to stay, it an experience in & of itself. We stayed there for 5 nights & I simply did not want to leave. If you’re lucky enough to get a reservation here, you’ll have a cherished life memory. Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing your experience and kind words David. We hope to see you again in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at the Hermosa Treehouse. This is truly a unique experience and feels like you are living in the jungle canopy. Their is an entire team there, led by Yoselin, who is on top of anything and everything you need, going so far as to anticipate before you ask. We've never had such white glove service at a rental. We had their cook, Gretel, cook us a typical Costa Rican meal and it was by far the best and most authentic Costa Rican food we have had over two trips to Costa Rica. I highly recommend you ask for this service at least once if you come.

Our stay at Hermosa Tree House was nothing short of amazing. The treehouse itself is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views from every level. The beach is just a short walk away, making it incredibly convenient for daily visits. The house perfectly accommodated my family of four, providing ample space and comfort. Yoselin and her staff were exceptional, ensuring our stay was both enjoyable and relaxing. They were always available to assist with any needs we had. Yoselin also organized our tours, making the entire process effortless and allowing us to have the best time. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. We can’t wait to return!

The Treehouse is nothing short of spectacular. We loved the 2 minute walk down to the most gorgeous beach with soft sands, warm water, and amazing smaller waves for the kids with the really good surfers in the background. Hermosa is a relatively quiet beach with fewer people which is just what we were looking for. The house itself is unique and stunning with multiple levels of living space and a lot of open air living. The staff keeping the house clean every day works incredibly hard and are just wonderful. Our excursions were perfect thanks to Yoselin (the concierge) who is lovely and super responsive to every question or issue that comes up. She's absolutely the best. Highly recommend Ario horseback riding tour through the jungle and beach, zip lining right to Montezuma falls, and farm tour for any animal lovers (our daughter was over the moon about meeting a 5 day old calf and holding baby chicks). Plus dinner with chef Grettel was delicious and healthy!

Steves place is exactly as described and we had an exciting vacation staying at the treehouse. Yoselin was extremely responsive and gave us great recommendations for activities and dining.

Beautiful gem in the heart of the jungle - steps from the beach. You truly feel like you’re sleeping in a treehouse - this is the perfect spot for those who want to enjoy nature. If you’re a hot sleeper, the open air in the master bedroom is tough given the temperature, and the downstairs bedrooms are a little small but perfectly comfortable. It was a great place to enjoy Santa Teresa’s most beautiful beach Hermosa and felt secluded from the hustle and bustle.  I cannot say enough about this special spot!

This place is amazing and we will definitely be back! It was too hot at night to make use of the open air bedroom but the other 3 air conditioned rooms worked perfectly for our group. The staff was wonderful and very helpful!

We had a very nice stay at the Treehouse. The house looks exactly like in the listing. The walk to the beautiful Hermosa Beach was only 5 minutes. I would definitely recommend staying at Steve's place! 👍

Hermosa Treehouse is otherworldly and absolutely FANTASTIC! I don't even know where to start, every single thing was perfect and wonderful and our dream vacation was achieved here.  A week here was not enough and my family cannot wait to return to the Treehouse and to Santa Teresa.  The house itself is a true work of art and the feeling you get while being there is indescribably special!  The most beautiful beach is a couple minutes walk and I was always torn between enjoying the beach or the house the most!  The concierge, Yoselin was out of this world!  Truly I've never felt so welcome and having her around was an absolute pleasure.  The rest of the staff is also 5 stars and I miss every one of them, they make you feel like family.  Everything was cleaned daily, the service was above and beyond.  We also hired the available chefs, yoga instructors and masseuse - I could write all separate reviews on how phenomenal they all are! Thank you Steve and Yoselin!!! See you soon!

What a beautiful home with amazing views, service and host. Thank you so much for the experience.

Best stay ever. Yoselein ( manager) was available with recommendations, reservations and so much more. She set up private charter and even a driver in San Jose! House was better then advertised! Will definitely stay here again!

Steve was a great host. His team helps you at every turn to make sure you’re all set no matter what you need. My family and I had an amazing time in Hermosa Beach and would definitely go back to Steve again.

The tree house was incredible. The style and atmosphere in the jungle were special and made you feel very calm. From a city to a place where you can say hello to capuchin monkeys just hits differently. The beach was not even 3 min away and is perfect for all kinds of surfers. The kitchen is has a very good setting and is perfect for a dinner date in the evening. Yoselin made our stay more welcoming. She was here for us if we had questions or required some information about something. For sure we will come back. Thank you, Steve and Yoselin.

Thanks for the kind words Leonard! We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.

One of the most unique stays on Airbnb Every aspect of our 2 week stay at the treehouse went beyond expectation! This unique place truly is an architectural wonder, constructed entirely out of locally sourced teak wooden walls which open up to canopy of the jungles overlooking stunning Hermosa beach. The house strikes the perfect balance between eco-chic and high end luxury and was close enough to town that we had access to all the best spots santa Teresa has to offer while also giving us the feeling that we were in land far far away. I woke up every morning, grabbed a surf board and walked 3 mins barefoot to the beach for a surf break that had something for everyone. You can tell that the owner Steve cares deeply for the area, his guest’s experience, and the 3 staff that run and maintain the properly and who all are truly exceptional. The properly manager, Yoselin, was a local rockstar and one of the 4 original families from this area so she was an incredible connection and magically was able to accommodate even the most unique request. We traveled with our 3 month old son and this was his first international trip and Hermosa treehouse did not disappoint. It was an unforgettable jungle experience entirely made possible by the comfort of this incredible house and thoughtfulness of the staff. If you want to break free from ordinary and live out your Robinson Crusoe treehouse dreams, this is your spot! We will definitely be back!

Thanks for the great review Sam! We're so glad that you enjoyed your time at the Treehouse.

I am a nerd for architecture + design. Major fan of Tom/Olsen Kundig. To stay in this house was a gift. It is in one of the most beautiful + tranquil locations in all of Santa Teresa, and along with the most amazing + kind house manager to host us. Daily visits from white faced + howler monkeys. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Magical!

This place is definitely different, I’ve stayed at a lot of fancy Airbnbs but this place was special. Be ready to experience nature, but if you love that you have to come. Waking up in the morning on the top floor getting out of bed and seeing the monkey on the trees, it’s breath taking. Also ask your manager to book you a massage, best massage I’ve ever had. Also the house manager is amazing at helping you set up reservation and the cleaners at the house make sure you’re experience is perfect. Will be back every year. Thank you everyone for the amazing experience.

Thanks so much for the positive review. I'm SO glad you find the same magic in the jungle that we do! We hope to host you again soon, and hope you enjoy the rest of your stay. Best.

Good villa but small place near the pool if full capacity (8 persons). Nice for 2-3 people

Great house. Great location. Great host. Thank you Noelia
