What paradise! We really enjoyed our stay at Julie's place, in the middle of a small, private jungle. The communication with Julie was super easy; she always responded quickly. The cottage is even better than in the description. You have everything you need, it is nice and quiet, the terrace is wonderful, Luna the cat is very cuddly and sweet, and we had a short visit from a raccoon. The cottage is a 5-minute walk from the sea, and the beach is wonderful. A very great, relaxing stay. We will be happy to come back.

Our little paradise on Playa Hermosa - absolute recommendation if you are looking for a place to stay near the beach & want to be a little outside of Santa Teresa 🏖️☀️ The highlight of the casita was the great terrace & through the fans we didn't need any air conditioning at all, you could open all the windows/terrace doors. It felt like staying in the middle of the jungle - we just love the sounds in Costa Rica. 🐒

This was hands down the best Airbnb experience I’ve had. I’ve been to Hermosa several times, and Julie’s place is where I’ll be staying from now on. She’s an exceptional host—thoughtful, responsive, and has truly thought of everything. The house is stocked with everything you need, from kitchen gear to yoga mats, candles, and games. The outdoor space is peaceful and beautiful, surrounded by nature, and perfect for relaxing or working outside. The internet was fast and totally reliable, which made working remotely easy. Julie checked in just the right amount and had great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The whole stay was smooth, quiet, and comfortable—can’t recommend it enough.

I had a fantastic stay at Julie’s place. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Julie was a wonderful host. She is responsive, friendly, and thoughtful. Minutes walk away from the beach, brunch/coffee spots. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience in Santa Teresa.

Julie, the host, was exceptionally attentive, sending us recommendations and always ready to assist with any requests. The garden was stunning and well-maintained, making our time there even more enjoyable. We genuinely wished we could have stayed much longer. Thank you, Julie, for creating such a lovely space and for all your support!
