The house was fantastic! Open floor plan, clean, well organized. Location is amazing. Beautiful neighborhood. Roberto was fantastic and showed us around the neighborhood. Having the pool and beach so close was incredible. We fell in love with Hermosa Palms and the wonderful people there! Thanks for sharing your home!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our family of five had the most incredible stay here for our first ever trip to Costa Rica! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen the perfect place. The home is beautiful, spotless, and located in a gorgeous, well maintained community. We especially loved the pool, the poolside restaurant, and how easy it was to walk to the beach. Roberto, the property manager, went above and beyond before, during, and after our stay. He was always quick to respond, incredibly kind, and so helpful with every question we had. His recommendations for local restaurants, private chefs, drivers, and activities were absolutely fantastic and made our trip even more special. This vacation gave our family memories we will cherish for a lifetime. We are already talking about coming back, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. If you’re considering booking this home, don’t think twice, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Both Cindy and Marie-Eve were very responsive leading up to our trip, and put me in touch ahead of time with Roberto, the in person host. The property is beautiful, in a gorgeous location right near Playa Hermosa and a wonderful pool and restaurant. The property is very well maintained, clean, and convenient. We loved starting our days with coffee on the roof terrace while watching the birds, lazy time by the pool, Yoyo's delicious food, and relaxing in a very spacious and comfortable place with everything we needed. The beds are super comfortable. Walks on the very quiet beach were exquisite, and Roberto gave us many local recommendations. Our stay was everything we wanted for a stress free getaway that yielded plenty of wonderful plants, wildlife, and kind people. Wonderful excursions were nearby (check out Go Adventures for waterfall hikes!) as well as restaurants in Hermosa and Jaco. I would love to return and share this experience with others! Thank you!

It felt like you stayed at your own home in a private community that welcomed you like you were an owner and not a renter.

We had an amazing 2 weeks at Cindy's home. The community was beautiful and very safe. The pool with swim up bar and restaurant was a bonus and the staff were incredible there. We had several long walks along the beach. Our property manager Roberto was extremely helpful. We left a bag at the airport and he immediately arranged for it to be sent to us. All in all, it was a great holiday and we will definitely be back again.

We have stayed in 9 places in a month in Costa Rica. We had a reservation elsewhere that ended up being very different than described. We checked in early, Roberto met us and gave us a thorough tour of the property and offered so much information for us. We loved the house and the property. Everyone was awesome and the food and drinks at the pool bar were 10/10. Thank you to all of you for turning our vacation around!

We had an excellent experience staying at this magnificent house. We were a family of 8 which included 3 babies. We had everything at our fingertips. Roberto (property manager) is great at his job and such an asset to us. Roberto’s knowledge of the house and surrounding area is top notch. The owners did a tremendous job designing and decorating the home. We will be back again. Thank you and pura vida.

Our stay in Playa Hermosa was absolutely perfect! The home was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and in a safe 24-hour gated community, ideal for families. The beach was peaceful with very few people around, making it feel like our own private escape. The location was super convenient and close to all the best excursions. We also loved the nearby beach club. Yoyo’s Food and Bar had amazing food and the best beachfront atmosphere. A special thanks to Roberto, who helped us with checking in the property. He was extremely helpful and kind, making our stay even better. We can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay in Costa Rica!
