3BR Villa in Playa Hermosa

Kristi was a wonderful host and clearly cares a lot about her guests! The property was gorgeous and the location was perfect. I will definitely make this my go to spot when I come back :)

We had the BEST 2 weeks at Casa Alta! The views, the ocean breeze & watching the sunsets were magical! We loved the location, very quiet and away from the crowds but close enough to everything we needed. Kristi was the absolute best host ... she was very prompt to answer any questions we had. She also arranged a sunset horseback ride, an airport shuttle & 4 wheelers delivered right to the house! She went above & beyond! We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Not enough basics we had to buy & carry things like bodywash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, hair dryer. No working washer & dryer. Towels were full of lint. Found Hair on the bedsheets. No working microwave.

Well this review is a complete shock, as I had lots of conversations with Srinath before and a few during their stay. Obviously, there was no mention of anything negative during their stay, only to receive this review. Unfortunately, Airbnb won't do anything about this review even though there are many things here that are untrue. The washer and dryer are in good working order, there is no microwave in the amenities as well as shampoo, conditioner, etc. I had explained what we have in the house prior to their arrival and I got them a bottle of wine for their birthday trip. I cannot do anything to change this, and unfortunately there are just shitty people out there who say nothing during their time at the house and then leave 1 star reviews. I understand if this is not the place for you, but if it was so terrible, it seems like something, anything would have been said as soon as they arrived, and I would have done what I could to make the stay more enjoyable.

We stayed at Casa Alta for 2 weeks and loved it! The sunsets on the beach or the patio were great every night. There was lots of wildlife to observe the whole time. We ate at the restaurant that was a few minutes walk down the road many times as they have great food. With all the doors open it made for a very nice open air feel with the ocean breeze flowing through. It was also cool that you can hear the ocean from the casa. The beach is not crowded at all. Many times we were the only ones there! We would definitely stay at Casa Alta again and would highly recommend it! Kristi couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant! She arranged our airport shuttles from Liberia airport and back, as well as an ATV to be dropped off and picked up at the casa for us. All of her recommendations for the area were spot on. Whenever we had any questions or concerns, she was quick to reply. We couldn't have asked for a better host!

Thanks for the great review Terry! I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves . It was great having you guys. Please come back soon!

This is an amazing home with spectacular views yet maintains your privacy. It is a world away from the hustle and bustle that is Santa Teresa. A great beach for walking/running at low tide. The home is very clean and well kept. There are countless resturants between the home and Santa Teresa but we mostly ate at the resturant just down the road as the food was always tasty. At low tide we SUP to the reef just out from the river for decent snorkeling. All in all a very pleasant stay.....hard to leave.

So, first of all, Kristi is a fantastic person. She was extremely helpful with everything including finding or recommending local restaurants, surfing spots/instructors, yoga locals, dive shops, etc. Whatever questions we had, she was more than happy to help. Secondly, the place was beautiful and peaceful. Clean linens and comfortable pillows made sleeping a joy after a long and exciting day. Infrastructure in CR can be a little delicate, but Casa Alta is more than capable of keeping your stay stress and hassle free. The beach is at your fingertips and Santa Teresa is only a few minutes away when you want to be a little more social. 10/10 recommend both Casa Alta and Kristi.
