Large Beach House with Ocean View & Private Pool! - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Our family weekend was perfect. A very comfortable house. With enough space for everyone.

Nuestro fin de semana familiar fue perfecto. Una casa muy cómoda. Con espacio suficiente para todos.

House was beautiful and well stocked. Had everything you could think of and more. Loved to chill pool and got lots of use out of the roof top area. The air conditioning was nice too. Kids loved to pool / ping pong areas. It was so close to the ocean and the community pool. Absolutely fabulous.

Wonderful weekend trip! Near by pool was an awesome amenity. Yo-yo's swim up bar and restaurant was amazing. Definitely recommend trying the food and cocktails were delicious! Jose was very helpful in assisting with airport transportation, local recommendations and even pre stocking the house with groceries. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to stay in a quieter  area but still in close proximity to downtown and other attractions.

Wonderful 3-story home in a safe, gated community. Lots of room for my group of seven. If you have a group that likes a surfing beach, this place rocks. Walk across the street and soak in the waves. The community pool is right there too. If you prefer a calmer beach, you will need to drive 15 - 20 min. Good central location for activities on the Pacific Coast side, but plan to have transportation. Rooftop of the property is a great place to chill with a small infinity pool and lounge and dining areas.

Pros: Great location. Right across the pool and beach access Spacious Kids loved the bunkbed room Communication was good. Maintenance crew arrived same day I requested it. YoYo bar and grill was amazing (at the community pool) Save community with 24 hour security was very nice Cons: The pictures are dated. The house has more wear and tear than portrayed in the pictures. Master bath needs a revamp, rust on shower floor No driveway. If you rent a car, you have to park it on the street in front of the house and half the time someone was in our parking spot As others mentioned, the water pressure was very low especially in the master bath. Water leakage (after it rained) in several areas Dishwasher did not work properly

The Airbnb was beautiful and Jose Andres was very helpful and resourceful. He assisted us with booking transportation, ordering groceries, a private chef and a boat tour to Isla Tortuga. Would definitely book again.

Beautiful home! The beach is just across the street! Super stunning.  I fell in love with the black sand.  The beach club pool and bar is beautiful, food and drinks are good! Pool is almost hot springs temp which was not good during a hot day but we went at night to watch sunset at the beach then dip in the pool.  Bats and owls came at night at the pool.  That was fun.  The house we loved. Very comfortable.  Plenty of towels for shower and pool available.  Washer and dryer were life savers! only “bad” comments would be water pressure in showers were low and there were tiny ants all over the kitchen counter.  But it didn’t ruin our stay.  Jose Andres, the concierge was extremely helpful in booking our excursions for us.  We did ATVS and a catamaran tour to isla tortuga and saw dolphins!!! Also hired the private chef and did the rodizio dinner and it was the best food we had in the entire week trip!

Overall the location was beautiful, short commute to Jaco. However house is advertised as 4.5 bathroom, the 4th full bathroom is outside on the roof with a broken shower head and dirty bathroom making it unusable. It rained and the ceiling broke, front entry flooded and stairs had remnants of ceiling and water flooding. Poor communication between co-host and us. He would ignore messages for 24+ hours, respond to certain messages and ignore others. Random maintenance men showed up to our door without communication throughout the week. Or they would say maintenance would arrive at a certain time, forcing us to change our plans and nobody arrived. Was asked when we were checking out, gave them a time earlier than 10 am, maids arrived at the house at 8:09 to rush us out of the place. Tried communicating with Host to come to an agreement on partial refund, have been ignored from both co-host and host since checking out. Do not recommend staying here again after the week we experienced.

The house was beautiful & super clean! The co-host José was who I dealt with directly & he was an AWESOME help to us the entire time. We only had one issue where the water cut out for a few hours one morning but otherwise it was a great stay & I’d definitely recommend this home & host!

We had a great time in this house! This was our second time staying in this development - and we really recommend it. The location was perfect being so close to the pool & beach entrance. No complaints about the house- we would definitely stay again! Make sure you eat at the pool restaurant- Yoyo's - it's amazing!

Absolutely Beautiful home. It was perfect for our crew of 9. Lots of space for everyone- we all loved the incredible rooftop deck and plunge pool. Pool table was a big hit as well. Yoyo was a phenomenal asset to our stay offering advice and delicious meals at the Hermosa Palms Beach club which was directly across the street from the house. The house is a good distance from all other restaurants and shopping - We should have rented a car. As a large group, it helped that we brought some beach towels with us.

POSITIVES: Concierge Jose and maintenance man German were wonderful.  Stylish home with high-end décor and window treatments. Fully stocked kitchen with plates, glassware, utensils and appliances.  Filtered refrigerator water.  Best location - right across from the community pool and steps from the beach.  Excellent air conditioning.  Many outlets and charging ports.  Modern washer and dryer.  Shampoo, body wash & conditioner in each bathroom. Televisions have Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and more. Great laundry/towel drying rack.  NEGATIVES: No CLARO cell service in community. Plumbing in master bathroom made loud banging noises and only had weak water pressure.  Master shower needs new tile - floor is rusty.  Entire master shower should be replumbed and redone. Toilets often plugged up.  During our stay we HAD NO WATER for two days - they had to replace the water pump.  The WiFi router died during our last five days, and was not replaced, so we were without any internet or WiFi

Greatly enjoyed Mike's place.  The house accommodated four couples very well.  The roof top living area with plunge pool was fantastic.  Location of house was perfect.  20 second walk out front door to community pool, another 20 second walk beyond that and you were on the beach.  Would definitely return to this house.

We had a wonderful stay at Mike’s place. The house was very clean. Plenty of room for out party of 6 to spread out. Really enjoyed the public pool. Yo-yo’s poolside restaurant is a great place to hangout. The food is awesome!

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting. Large outdoor pool just steps from the front door and the Pacific Ocean just a couple hundred feet, with a beautiful and private beach. We also took advantage of the small, private rooftop pool. The home is very large and more than adequate for our group of six. Our host, Jose, was always immediately responsive to any and all questions, concerns and requests. He arranged transportation for us multiple times for excursions, and was very helpful in answering any questions we had.  The only issue we had was with the fact that there is not a convenience market nearby for essentials, as was stated in the listing. The nearest place to shop is Jaco, which is about 10 miles away. Fortunately, we were able to get an Uber fairly quickly when we needed it.

Beautiful home with a great location right across from the beach and pool.

We had a family get together and the house was perfect for space, bedrooms, rooftop pool, access to pool club and beach.   We did spend some time the first few days dealing with plumbing issues.  The team was very responsive and eventually fixed all the issues.   We were not expecting this but we felt fine with their fixes.    Great house and location to the beach and pools.

The home was very clean! The location is perfect - across the street from the amazing, secure pool area. It was easy to walk right to the beach for daily walks and playing on the beach, though the waves aren't good for little kids - spots are ok at low tide. There is a closet full of fun beach toys and a wagon to pull it all in! Looking for macaws and other wildlife is perfect in this area and the overall neighborhood is safe - I never felt alarmed walking alone each day. Local people were very nice and friendly (mostly surfers and families). The upstairs pool was a great place to lounge if you didn't feel like going to the big pool. We had 9 adults and 2 kids, and never felt cramped for space. The owners are great; Jose even helped me find a doctor on Christmas, after our son got very sick during our trip. He was also super responsive when he had small needs throughout the trip and gave us some great local recommendations of places to go to recreate and eat in the local area.

The place was absolutely beautiful and spacious for our 6 adults and three kids. Loved the upstairs pool which is more like a soaker pool and the general area at top was so lovely with a dining table, a lounge area, pizza oven and BBQ & fridge. Came well equipped with dishes and cooking equipment and there was an assortment of spices to choose from. The only thing lacking was the need for more wine glasses as we are all wine drinkers. We ran out of water right away from the water cooler as it was almost empty when we arrived. Ended up buying more at the store before Jose arranged for a replacement. We found drinking water from the tap made some of us feeling sick. Also we could not find the cards to let us into the community pool. Talked to Jose and got those cards later in the day The last thing was the water leakage from the taps in the upstairs bedroom. Contacted Mike and a plumber was over right away and they ended up fixing the problem quickly. It was a lovely place to be!

I loved this house so much ! It was beautiful and close to the beach’ i loved the pool bar and the food but they are closed on Sunday and Monday . Only bad thing was the second floor restroom flooded after my friends took showers and i had to spend a lot of time cleaning it up . Other than that everything was great and the home is beautiful will definitely be returning to this same home with my family. The shower in the master is very beautiful and sets the mood. That entire suite was amazing and the rooftop deck was incredible .

The house is quite large, very equipped too, communication with the owner was very good and very attentive

La casa es bastante grande, muy equipaba también, la comunicación con el owner fue muy buena y muy atenta

Location is incredible but the house is not at all as advertised. Super disappointing for my family. Host and property manager were non-responsive for week as soon as we started reporting issues, which were many: - Ant kitchen infestation. Live in counters, had to clean kitchen 3x daily, could never leave anything out longer than 5 mins. - Pool is not maintained and is clogged up. Algae growing all in it. Unusable. - Standing water and mold present in most rooms, water dripped in constantly during every rainstorm. - Hole in ceiling of master balcony, unusable. - Master shower missing a shower head. - House is filthy, dishwasher was unusably dirty, washer had mold growing in it. Coffee machine had gooey grounds in it. Had to deep clean 3x before first use. - Not enough towels, wash clothes, trash bags, etc. - No crib, then they brought a broken crib, then stopped responding entirely. Worst rental experience we’ve ever had. Pictures aren’t accurate, home not maintained, very sad.

We had a fabulous stay at this house - It was 2 families (10 total) and there was plenty of room for everyone.  It is a spacious home directly across from the community pool and the beautiful black sandy beach.  Sunsets were amazing and Jose (the manager) was extremely responsive and helpful and checked in on us several times throughout our stay on What's Ap.  I would 100% visit this place again.  The pantry is well stocked with lots of silverware, plates, cups, spices, trash bags etc...  The margherita machine was a huge hit - we ordered one for our house before we left!  They provide Beach Towels, laundry detergent and so much more!   CostaCat has a fabulous tour out to Tortuga Island that I highly recommend (It is very much worth the $$$).

The house is beautiful and spacious with lots of room for socializing - indoors and outdoors. It’s steps away from the resort pool with swim up bar YoYo’s, where Jessica provided us excellent service during our stay. The black sand beach is absolutely gorgeous with lush rainforest just on the edges of the property. Jose was incredible - very responsive with questions, setting up transport and adventures, and making recommendations about local restaurants and sites. It was so convenient to have use of the washer and dryer, kitchen appliances, and the rooftop pool. The only issue we experienced was with the water pressure in the showers, which Jose addressed quickly sending a maintenance person over right away. We will definitely be back and would recommend to others.

The house is very large and spacious, we had a great time as a family, super close to the pool area and beach, the pool bar is great, the food is delicious. We also enjoyed the terrace on the third floor of the house, we had a barbecue with a beautiful sunset. A couple of things to improve, the shower water in all the rooms went out with little water and little force and in the main room we would have the doors for fresh air to get in but the screen was broken and one day until a cat got in.

La casa muy grande y amplia, la pasamos muy bien en familia, súper cerca de el area de la piscina y playa, el bar en la piscina es genial, la comida es deliciosa. También disfrutamos de la terraza en el tercer piso de la casa, hicimos un barbecue con un atardecer hermoso. Un par de cosas por mejorar, el agua de las duchas de todos los cuartos salia con poca agua y poca fuerza y en la sala principal habríamos las puertas para que entrara aire fresco pero el screen estaba roto y un día hasta un gato se metió.

the former place to spend time as a family trip

The pictures don’t do this place justice! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. More than enough room with great lounge areas for everyone to gather. Usually when I travel out of the country water pressure could possibly be an issue but not at all here. All the appliances are new. Wifi is good. There are several modems throughout the house so you’ll be fine. I’m big on bathrooms and they were all clean and welcoming. We had an issue getting water from one so we contacted José and I don’t think this man sleeps. I think I love Jose! He was on call 24/7 he elevated my trip to another level. As far as household items anything we needed was supplied and the shower was fixed immediately the next day. I actually had an itinerary planned and of course some of the tour guides fell through. I told Jose and he put my entire trip back together for me. Would 100% recommend and will 100% stay again. Side note: you’re gonna see a lizard or 2, it’s Costa Rica baby. Thank me later.

Everything went great! Lovely house and a great community!

The house and location are wonderful! Beach is nice to walk on. The community pool is 100% worth the time. Yo-Yo and her bar/food are phenomenal and they are right across the street!

Mike was amazing. Villa was incredible. Mike made the entire trip so smooth. I had to  plan the bachelor party and was getting flack from sisters for not having it all weeks before with a cute little itinerary. Bc of mike we booked the place, and had everything we could have asked for quickly and perfectly. Will be back again!

This house was perfect for our vacation. It was honestly even better than it looked in the pictures. Would definitely recommend this AirBnb to others. Mike was also super responsive and also very helpful in suggesting car rentals, concierge services, etc.

We had a great time and we were especially pleased with Mike’s reactivity and support whenever we had a question. We will definitely come back. Thanks again.

Mike was very responsive, kind, and flexible. We discovered there were no public pool passes when we arrived and Mike had it fixed within 24 hours. We were happy to enjoy our private pool and the staff of the resort and community were kind and helpful. The neighbors were also very nice and had a lot of good suggestions to help us understand and explore the beautiful communities of Costa Rica. We quickly found that traveling south to Esterillos and Parrita provided a nice change of pace from Jaco when basic household shopping was needed. There were many local restaurants out on or near the beach that were within a 15-20 minute drive. My family was very impressed with the lodgings and we had a good time.

My group of 8 enjoyed everything in the house. Our favorite hangout place was the upstairs patio. Definitely peaceful the stars were so bright and the ocean waves was all the peace we need it. Michael’s home is beautiful with all the amnesties you need nearby. The clubhouse pool and the bar was a highlight for all us gals. Thank you Michael for the recommendations. We had a memorable time in your house. I will recommend this home to anyone planning to visit Costa Rica.

The location, house size and beach club were outstanding.  The house was well stocked with dishes and cooking supplies. The roof top pool and deck area were great and the house layout was perfect for our large family.  It was a short walk to the beach which was beautiful and we saw some amazing sunsets. The house itself had some issues, especially with the hot water which was basically non existent.  Dishwasher leaked all over the floor when we tried to use it. Light switch in the game room was broken and the downstairs toilet was running constantly until they came and fixed it. Workers would show up unannounced but most of the items were fixed, except for the hot water.  For the most part we enjoyed our stay and had a great time.

Beautiful place! Definitely we will be back!!

Mike’s place is located in a quiet gated community. Very peaceful and access to the beach club and community pool. The house is in a great location right in front of the pool and access to the beach. The house is very spacious and the rooms are spacious and comfortable as well. Several beds and the 4 bunk beds for kids were a success. AC units in each room which makes the house cool, amazing pool table and ping pong, fully stacked kitchen. This is the only house in the community with a pool a big terrace on the roof. The view is splendid! Mountains on one side and beach on the other. Playa hermosa is beautiful, the sand has no rocks and the sunsets are incredible. Would highly recommend for a big family has the house is spacious and quiet. The maintenance people are extremely responsive. Mike and his team, were present to clean the pool, water the grass and answer any questions we had.

Una casa hermosa con toda las comodidades

Very comfortable home and well appointed.  The rooftop lounge space is perfect to relax and watch the McCaws and watch the ocean.  The pool is a few steps away and there is great coffee shop and pool restaurant/bar.  Great beach for long walks.  There are grocery stores and restaurants 10 min away and so many day trips within an hour.  We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again.

Hands down the best experience! We definitely didn’t want our trip to end Mike was super helpful and the house was amazing and equipped with everything you could possibly need

Such a great house and a great location. Macaws flying all over, amazing surf right out front, the resturant at the surf club is surprisingly awesome and the owner is amazing Don’t hesitate to book this house!

All around, a great time in a great place to stay. Mike, thanks for hosting us at house 44 (quatro quatro as it became known to us). We had a relaxing time and enjoyed a lots of things in the area - Manuel Antonio, Adventure Park, and a few tours. Most of all, we had a great time at my daughters graduation from Universidad de La Paz in Ciudad Colon - the commute there and to the SJO airport wasn't bad in our rental vehicle. The pool and beach at Playa Hermosa were great - we got lucky during the rainy season and had sunshine enough to enjoy the pool and beach. Everything was grand and we really enjoyed staying in the house ((quatro quatro). The kitchen was well equipped to cook a few meals and my family really enjoyed playing ping pong. We went and got food from a few of the local places in Playa Hermosa and Jaco, as well as the 2 super markets in Jaco. We also enjoyed tasty food from the bar at the pool which had a wonderful proprietor and staff. Thank you again! Oz

Thank you so much Mike for all your help and great advice! Me and my family had an excellent time while at your home vacationing. Your home is comfortable and beautiful. The location is second to none. We will be back in the near future and hope you will welcome us to stay again.

Great house. Really nice location across from the entrance to the beach club, which was key for us with 5 small children. Plenty of room for our large group to spread out in both the downstairs and upstairs living room. Well-stocked kitchen.

Beautiful house, great location to the neighborhood pool/coffee shop and store. The neighborhood pool was great and the bartenders’ drinks even better! The food we ordered from the bar was delicious as well. The house’s rooftop pool and large table/sitting area was absolutely perfect for my extended family vacation! Mike was super helpful with recommendations and quick to respond anytime we had a question. Definitely would recommend all around!

This house had a great location and was a pleasure to stay in!

This house is amazing! Nice sized bedrooms, beautiful rooftop pool, amazing location! It is also near the beach and you have access to the beach club across the street. Mike is an amazing host! He was very prompt and attentive to any question or need that I had. He helped book all of our excursions and gave an amazing reference to a chef whose food was delicious! If I ever get the chance to visit Costa Rica again, I will definitely be staying here.

We loved Mikes communication.  He was responsive and friendly.  He fixed everything in a timely fashion.  The community pool is great!  We meet some great people from the states.  The water at the beach was rough but we went into town.  The pool beach bar was good.  Bring some wash clothes for your face just in case.  Overall, a great place to stay.

Great spot and amenities, Close to surf beaches and great restaurants. We had some items that needed addressing during our stay and Mike jumped right on it. He even helped us book our day of adventures (zip lines, waterfalls, and Horseback Riding). Thank you Mike!

I had a great stay here with my family! Very clean and great location to the beach. The pictures make it seem farther away. It is directly across the street! Would book again!

Me and two of my friends stayed here for an entire month and it was absolutely perfect! Rooftop pool is gorgeous, home has everything you could possibly need and It’s be best located house in the neighborhood. Mike is always available if you need any help with anything. We will definitely be back again.

Excellent place. 20 meters from the condominium pool and 50 meters from the beach, really an excellent option for large families. Mike is an excellent host always available to help you and guide you during your stay. Just a recommendation if your car is low you won't be able to park in the garage. It has a lot of inclination for the most perfect cough

Excelente lugar. A 20 mts de la piscina del condominio y 50 mts de la playa realmente una excelente opcion para familias grandes. Mike es un host excelente siempre disponible a ayudarte y guiarte durante tu estadia. Solo una recomendacion si tu carro es bajo no vas a poder parquear en el garaje tiene muchisima inclinacion por lo de mas toso perfecto

The house is really comfortable and very well maintained! The location is amazing! Mike is a wonderful host!

The house is large, with many spaces to share and has a very private location and just a few steps from the sea. Mike responds quickly and makes sure guests have the best experience and have everything they need at their fingertips.

La casa es grande, con muchos espacios para compartir y tiene una localización muy privada y justo a unos pasos del mar. Mike contesta rápido y se preocupa porque la experiencia de los viajeros sea la mejor y que tengan todo lo que necesitan a la mano.

Great location, quick service. Everything was perfect.

Excelente ubicación, atención rápida. Todo perfecto.

Large family group spent 10 days in Mike's home in Hermosa Palms in early March. We had   4 children under age of 4 so the location to the beach and the community pool could not have been better.  The pool on the roof was a definite bonus in the evening and when kids were down for naps.  The home is spacious so we did not feel cramped at all and had basic amenities. When we did have some airconditioning /plumbing issues, Mike was very responsive. The grill at the community pool had excellent food for decent price. Drinks are more expensive everywhere in Costa Rica but you could bring your own to the pool.  Also recommend buying any liquor at the duty free before leaving the airport!   Watching the "resident" nesting macaws and all the beautiful birds, the sunsets and sunrises from the house pool deck was a plus!  Recommend trying the Nuestro Pueblo family run restaurant 6 miles to the south as their food was awesome and very reasonably priced.  We used Costa Rica driver for our big  outings as they had van large enough for all 13 of us.  They took us to Manuel Antonio, stopped for breakfast on the way and stayed and waited for us all day until we were ready to come home.  We used Uber for local small trips as we did not rent a car.  Overall, we had a great family experience here and would recommend!  Thanks Mike!

Amazing home with a great view of the ocean. Huge master suite and nice sized guest rooms. Rooftop pool and bar was a big plus. Close proximity to Hermosa Beach and bars. Club house and pool across the street are also high quality and convenient. Concierge is helpful and attentive.

Everything is just like you except it to be. Beautiful house in a great location.

We visited with our family of 9. The house was exactly as described. Definite highlights included the close proximity to the nearly deserted beautiful beach for surfing and walking, and visiting the "sunset log" to watch spectacular sunsets. We used the roof-top pool and BBQ daily. We had a blast at the Backyard Bar surf competition on Saturday (call ahead and make reservations). We took cabs to Jaco Beach but found it more affordable to use Uber to get to the Backyard Bar. Mike was quick to respond to messages, for example, he had the BBQ propane tank replaced within a few hours of receiving my message on a Saturday. He arranged transfers to and from San Jose airport for us and that was seamless. Overall it was a great experience, thank you, Mike!

Michael was responsive when we had questions and he was accurate with how the beach house was listed. No surprises. All good, would definitely stay at any place Michael has for rent.

This place was excellent. Located right across from the pool/spa and steps to the beach. The house itself was very spacious and the bedrooms massive for the 6 of us who stayed there. We spent a lot of time on the rooftop grilling as well which was a nice addition. Highly recommend!

We had a great time! We had a great time! The pool in the Rooftop is perfect to take advantage of the beautiful sunsets and the house is fully equipped. Steps from the beach. Mike was on the lookout if everything was fine at all times or if we needed anything. He answered all our doubts almost that immediately which makes him a great host. Definitely a great place to enjoy a vacation.

La pasamos muy bien excelente en nuestra estadía. La piscina en la Azotea es perfecta para aprovechar de los bellos atardeceres y la casa está completamente equipada. A solo unos pasos de la playa. Mike estuvo pendiente si estaba todo bien en todo momento o si necesitabamos algo. El respondió a todas nuestras dudas casi que inmediatamente lo cual lo convierte en un gran anfitrión. Definitivamente un gran lugar para disfrutar de unas vacaciones.

Spacious modern house in a great gated community one block from the beach.  Easy commute to center of Jaco, but far enough away to feel like your are in a true vacation spot.  Great beachfront restaurants nearby.

We had a lot of fun heading up to the southern Jaco beach, spending time at the community pool, taking  a day trip to Manuel Antonio, and just relaxing in the rooftop pool.         Had some great meals grilling up marinated bistec from the grocery in Jaco. And we always made sure to walk over to the beach at sunset - gorgeous!

A beautiful, spacious home in an excellent location within the neighborhood - right across the street from the pool, the beach, and the little store. The rooftop pool and BBQ are perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset. American-style (read: BIG) refrigerator and washer/dryer. Mike is a wonderful host and very helpful!

Everything was good, had a blast. Thanks for hosting. Very spacious and clean. The location is private and pool is awesome fun relax get away. Would stay again. 10 stars

If every air bnb host was like Mike, vacationing would be a breeze. He is literally there for you if you need anything. The house was amazing, close to everything. The beds were super comfortable.  Rent this place, you will not regret it. I suggest doing some grocery shopping to take advantage of the grill and the pool area.

Perfect for a big family… Multiple floors, bathrooms, and sitting areas allow for gatherings or private time as needed. We had a great time over our 10 day stay.

This house was super spacious and perfect for our stay. The beds were comfortable and all the rooms were nice. The house is directly across from the pool and beach, so you’re literally there within 30 seconds to 1 minute! The macaws in the neighborhood are beautiful and you’ll see lots of iguanas. Nature is at its finest here! I definitely recommend booking this house and with Mike. He was very helpful with booking and answered any questions we had. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

You cannot beat how close this house is to the water and the community beach club/pool. The house pool, located on the roof, has an absolutely amazing view. The beach club hours were a little shorter than we expected, however our visit was over the week of Christmas. The food and drinks were delicious. Mike was very quick to respond to any concerns we had. He also set up zip lining and a driver for us on very short notice. He was an exceptional host.

It is a beautiful house, it has many amenities, you feel really very comfortable, the super spacious and comfortable rooms, the cleanliness is impeccable, in itself it is a perfect house to rest or do private activities, the view that the house has from the third floor is incredible,  100% recommended.

Es una casa preciosa, cuenta con muchas comodidades, se siente uno realmente muy confortable, los cuartos súper amplios y cómodos, la limpieza es impecable, en si es una casa perfecta para descansar o realizar actividades privadas, la vista que tiene la casa desde el tercer piso es increíble,  100% recomendada.

Quiet, clean and huge home with a great view! This is a private community with some great amenities, just a quick walk to the beach and pool, swim up bar with a full menu also. The house itself is massive, plenty of space for everyone, we really enjoyed our stay and Mike was very helpful. I highly recommend it.

If you like the fancier things in life, this place is definitely a place you should stay at. huge and beautiful. clean and comfy.

Good location, the house was very clean, well equipped and offers great amenities. 

Buena ubicación, la casa estaba muy limpia, bien equipada y ofrece excelentes servicios. 

Everything was really good and we enjoyed ourselves the entire stay. The house was perfect with a very high standard and both the pool on the roof top and the communal pool was very nice. There was also a pool bar with good food and drinks - very convenient! All bedrooms where large and the bathrooms held a high standard. All in all, the house and the area exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend this casa to larger groups, that being groups of family or friends.

Great home with perfect location to pool. I recommend this spacious home!

Mike and Tina's place is absolutely amazing!! The pictures definitely don't do it justice.  You are also in a gated community which is nice.  We were there during the off-season (July) and you notice you are a little secluded and really can not swim at the beach.  However,  there are a few restaurants and clubs at the end of the street and Jaco is only about 10 min drive and has about anything you want including a beach.  There were 6 of us and we had more than plenty of room.  The kitchen is very nice and most of all the supplies are provided, only thing you might need to pick are some spices.  Another perk was having access to both pools; it is nice to swim in the community pool, but if it got to busy you could always retreat back to the pool on the 3rd floor.  The hot water and wifi worked good, although, the wifi was spotty on the 2nd and 3rd floor.  If you get a chance you should definitely give Mike and Tina's place a try - you won't regret it!!

Awesome place, highly recommended for large groups of people!

We stayed at Mike's house for Spring Break - 2 families with 2 kids each + 1 grandma. The room set up was great, each set of parents had their own master bedroom and the kids shared the room with the two double (or queen?) beds while G-ma had the room with 2 single beds. The kids enjoyed getting up early and watching cartoons in the little living room off of the bedrooms on the second floor. We loved the rooftop pool and bbq (some days we never left!) as well as the community pool conveniently located right across the street. It was also great that the house provided a cooler that we could use to bring our lunches and drinks over to the pool. The community pool swim-up bar was awesome as well. I would definitely recommend this place to other families or a large group of friends. We were really happy with it.

Very large house with roof pool. Great location compared to the beach. We were 8 guests and all the rooms and rooms were very comfortable and of exceptional size. Very hot sea water (25 to 28 degrees Celsius) with beautiful waves.

Très grande maison avec piscine sur le toit. Super  bien située par rapport à la plage. Nous étions 8 voyageurs et toutes les chambres et pièces étaient très confortables et de grandeurs exceptionnelles. L’eau de la mer très chaude (25 à 28 degrés Celsius) avec des vagues magnifiques.

Our experience at Hermosa Palms was phenomenal! Prior to our arrival Mike and Tina were easy to communicate with and extremely helpful answering any questions we had about the area and the house. From the second we walked out of the airport and José welcomed us and drove us to the house (setup by Tina and was actually a mini tour,) through to our last minutes in Hermosa Palms, we were thoroughly impressed. Tina met us within 1hr of arrival to explain the house, local scene, best food & restaurants. Yo-Yo's poolside fish tacos were to die for! House was clean, secure, spacious and made for the perfect "home base" to explore Jacó & relax pool/beach side. Rooftop pool was a favorite among our group. Couldn't say enough about how happy we were with Tina Mike & her team!

Awesome house!  We stayed with 2 other families and kids, but completely see house being used for a friends getaway and other groups.  About a 12 - 15 minute taxi ride to Jaco Center where there is a large market and a good number of restaurants, bars, shops, and things to do.   Day trips to Manual Antonio and Quepos also convenient.   Community pool is directly across the street with the beach directly behind that.   Pool has a swim up bar with lunch and dinner.   Beach is very private and one of the best.   We arranged for a private chef through Mike and his team; would highly recommend Kenia to anyone . . . she prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinners on different days.  We were an annoying group, asking for help with chefs, taxis, pizza delivery, day trips, and surf lessons.  Mikes team always responsive and helpful.  Would highly recommend and go back again and again.   (Actually may need to as we might have left a bag of shoes somewhere in the house).   Only consideration is if you are looking for a house that doesnt appear to have been lived in, or have some bruises from people having fun, and you want the feel of new/non rental furnishings, this is not your place.  That said, if you are looking for a great property to call home and enjoy Costa Rica from, and you want a responsive host, and you want an awesome location where you can be private and secluded yet access town quickly, and you want a great pool and beach, and you want a great value, look no further!

The house is amazing, it has plenty of space, it is very well equipped, the location is perfect and you can enjoy a very good time, whether with family or friends.

La casa es increíble, cuenta con bastante espacio, esta muy bien equipada, la ubicación es perfecta y se puede disfrutar de un muy buen momento, ya sea en familia o entre amigos.

This home was wonderful! Beautiful views, clean, and comfortable. Mike was extremely helpful every step of the way. Very private secured community with private beach, and community pool within short walking distance. The third floor house pool was also nice and relaxing. Perfect for sunset views. Home was also equipped with all important living essentials. Being from Costa Rica, and a frequent visitor, I would definitely recommend this area and home. Thank you Mike!

Michael's home was fantastic! Very close to the community pool and secluded beach. The pool bar was a great place to get a quick bite to eat and lots of tasty drinks. The house comfortably slept our group of 10 that was here for 1 week. No issues with wifi. Worked great! Plenty of channels on tv. Overall 10/10 experience and we will hopefully be coming back again! 

We had a great time! The house is great and the photos don't make it justice, it is much better in person! The pool on the upper level is great for relaxing while watching the sunset. The house has a great location, just 1 min walk to the beach club, which is very comfortable for a relaxing afternoon. Michael was great with us meeting our every expectation and request! For sure we'll be back!

The location of the house is perfect: just steps to beach.  Communication with hosts is particularly easy both before and during the stay.  Our goal was to learn family surfing and this place was perfect for that.  

La situation géographique de la maison est parfaite: à quelques pas de la plage.  La communication avec les hôtes est particulièrement facile autant avant le séjour que pendant.  Nous avions comme objectif d'apprendre à faire du surf en famille et cet endroit était parfait pour cela.  

This place was AMAZING! Michael was extremely helpful and courteous and accommodating. The house itself is beautiful! I honestly think the pictures don't do it justice. Master bedroom is huge. All the beds are comfortable. Two different living rooms for watching TV. He also has an awesome speaker on each floor with an auxiliary cord for music, which is perfect. There's a small rooftop pool, which is great for looking at the beautiful starry sky at night. There is a community pool that is amazing and has a swim up bar/restaurant. And 20 feet from the pool is the most beautiful exotic black sand beach. The beach and the water is SUPER CLEAN too. We were very sad we only stayed for a short time and will definitely be back in the future. Thanks Michael!

Thanks Salman, we look forward to seeing you again here soon!

Outstanding location, great house. Great isolated beach break, had unlimited waves with just a few in the water. 

Very friendly, helpful and with great willingness, always attentive that you feel like you feel at home. The place is cool and wonderful, the setting spectacular. 

Muy amable, servicial y con gran disposición, siempre pendiente de que uno se sienta como en casa. El lugar es genial y maravilloso, el entorno espectacular.
