Villa Costa Mar

We had a great few days at Richard's place! The view was incredibly stunning, and location was close by to some stores for easy access. Luis was a great resource to have on-site and having Edwin, the local chef come out for two days was a real treat. There were 10 of us in total and we felt like we had sufficient space with enough room to spread out a bit!

We had an incredible week at Villa Costa Mar in Playa Hermosa with our family. It truly felt like our own private hotel. The kids loved the pool, the views were stunning, and it was easy to get down to the beach or enjoy great nearby excursions. Edwin, the private chef, was a highlight—his meals were phenomenal, blending local dishes with exactly what we wanted. Service was excellent, and Richard arranged a mid-week refresh, which we really appreciated. A couple of tips: be clear on budgets, meals, and timing with Luis, the house manager, to avoid confusion. There is some normal wear, but it’s clearly a well-loved place. The road has been redone, and access felt very safe and easy. Overall, a great stay!

Our family of 6 adults and 2 small children had a wonderful stay. The view is absolutely stunning from the covered outdoor couch area. The hammocks were also a huge hit.

We loved it! It's a very comfortable, beautiful house, the photos don't do it justice. Large rooms, comfortable beds and pillows. The view is a spectacle, it's the most beautiful thing of all. The house has all the amenities, a large and deep swimming pool for both children and adults. Nearby you will find supermarkets, restaurants and highly recommended beaches. Thank you so much. We hope to go back!

The view is STUNNING!!! The layout of the house is lovely, especially if you are traveling with multiple families. The host is very responsive and has wonderful recommendations in the area. The gentlemen who lives on the property (separate building), Luis, was very responsive and helpful! It is Costa Rica so there are bugs, but they did end up in the house more than I thought they would. The pool is beautiful, but a little chilly even for the beautiful weather. We loved our stay here and would definitely love to return.

Breath taking views from a beautiful villa. The view absolutely takes your breath away when you enter the home. The infinity pool was perfect for the kids. We took advantage of the private chef, the food was delicious. Highly recommend. The home was very clean. We loved the private setting.

We had a great stay here with both grandmas and our 6-year old twins. Felt comfortable and of course the best part of the house are the amazing views! We loved exploring different beaches and then coming back every afternoon to that amazing pool and view. You could just book and never leave the house! Highly recommend bosco tour sunset cruise that Alan set up for us. It was a highlight of our trip! Juan was very responsive and had many helpful tips. Of course, being in the rainforest and rainy season the bugs and insects were everywhere, so come prepared for that. ( I wasn’t). Thank you for a great stay!

Great stay in Costa Rica, short drive to everything. House was a perfect set up for our big group and was very comfortable
