Casa Hermosa Mar

Darling Esmeralda

Excellent, 1 month ago

Delighted with Casa Hermosa. The host and manager are super attentive. Thank you for all the details to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We were truly fascinated!

The house is beautiful and had everything that was described. The location was great and so peaceful. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because there was an issue with the water. The last room had a problem with the toilet’s tank that supposedly affected the water. I had to call 2 times since we didn’t have water, not because it was over used, but was told was an issue with the broken toilet that needed the pump’s cover to be cleared each time it was flushed. Anyways we were careful with this and the use of water. This was uncomfortable since we were 10 people that needed to use the toilets and shower. On the last day we didn’t go into the ocean since we didn’t have water to shower off before leaving. Also the 2nd room can use an extra bed, since the max capacity for the house are 10 people, and felt a little short with this. Rolando, the keeper was very responsive and each time he came he got the water back. The issue wasn’t overuse of water, but the lack of it.

What a beautiful home for a reasonable price! I was looking for a home with a private beach, and it exceeded my expectations. The pool and pool table are perfect for the kids, and there are three beautiful hammocks that overlook the water. The photos do not do this place justice. Important to note there is a water limit to be aware of, and we could not get the TV to work. Regardless, the beach was so beautiful we didn’t need the TV! I would recommend this home without hesitation.

Communication with the host was positive, as they were always willing to provide support whenever we had any questions. We experienced some issues with the electricity on the day of arrival and with the water on the day of departure, as both services were unavailable for a few hours. As a recommendation, some aesthetic improvements could be made to the second and third bedrooms, since they are quite different from the first room, which is clearly the best one. Other than that, the atmosphere was very peaceful, the place was calm and family-friendly, and it had an excellent pool and a well-equipped kitchen.

The house has a beautiful courtyard and large pool, and is situated directly on the beach. The rooms are air conditioned which is great, but everything is bare bones. No soap, no starter coffee, nothing. We stayed here solely to be close enough to Leon to go volcano boarding and that worked out great, but this location is very remote. Google maps invents roads along the way that aren't there. You eventually come to a guard station where Rolando will drive with you to the house and show you how to get in. It would be impossible to locate, otherwise. Restaurants are a 20 min drive in either direction, so come prepared. The mosquitos here were crazy with the canal behind the garage. If you stay, I would highly recommend a walk along the beach. It's stunning.

The place was very nice, we enjoyed it very much, it’s right in front of the beach and along with the swimming pool, it made it perfect for a family trip

The place is charming, the beach is beautiful, clean and it feels like you're on a private beach since the house is in front of the beach. The house was very clean and organized, the kitchen has everything you need for your stay. The pool was clean and I loved that it was heated. There is also a beachfront ranch where you can sit comfortably and watch the sunset. The owner was very nice.

Host Response

Thanks Ana. My cleaner and propert manager are amazing and do a great job. And the location of course is also amazing I really enjoyed hosting your wonderful group and look forward to seeing you on your future travels

The house is old, like many in the area, and has a prime location, very close to the beach and with easy access, which we really appreciated. The kitchen is decently equipped, and the place was delivered clean. However, we feel that it lacks general maintenance. The beds are quite basic. We believe that due to the current state of the house, the price is a little high, especially in relation to similar options on the same beach. It would be ideal to adjust the cost or invest in improvements so that the experience feels more in line with the rate

As a repeat guest, I enjoyed my time in this beautiful & private home. Well recommended if you wanna enjoy a sunset by the beach.

Russell was very kind at all times, and communicating with him was easy, which made us feel at home. We had no issues with access, and the house was clean and well-organized. The rooms were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy our stay without having to leave the house. The pool area was undoubtedly the best part. Since it was covered, the water stayed at a pleasant temperature, and the beach felt like it was ours while we were there. We truly enjoyed the place, and without a doubt, we are already planning our next trip to stay at Russell’s place again.

The beach location, pool and privacy of this home is what sold me on staying. Hearing the waves lull you to sleep nightly is amazing! Staff was friendly and attentive. Rooms were comfy and air conditioned. Beautiful covered pool/bar area, makes for a perfect family/friends gathering spot to share stories and decompress. Stayed 3 nights and will go back to stay longer very soon!! Thanks Russell for the quick response time and for providing such a beautiful home for us to experience! Tracy

Russell's house, and the location on Playa Hermosa was absolutely beautiful. the courtyard of the house, the back patio with the pool table, swimming pool, and palapa were spectacular. The rooms were wonderfully air conditioned, and each had their own bathroom. The kitchen was very well appointed. This place is ideal for those who want a great beach house with an excellent beach swimming area, complete with outdoor shower. You even get your own bar overlooking the beach, pool, and palapa. It is ready for a fun week. Bring your pets too! the courtyard can be fully closed off so your pooches can run around outside without fear of them getting lost. If you are looking for that truly secluded beach getaway that has it all, this property will not disappoint!
