Thank you Guillermina!  So happy you enjoyed Full Moon.  You and your family are welcome to return any time, and we hope you do!! Pura Vida! Denise & Will

If you are wanting to spend most of your time at Hermosa beach, this place is amazing. Plus it's across the street from Color Cafe, which is a great place for breakfasts and lunches. Super chill awesome place for two friends surfing for a week. Great, communicative hosts too. Wifi was smokingly fast too (for Costa Rica). Zero issues working, doing zoom calls, wifi calls, etc.

Top spot. Go for it.  This is super host quality. I've stayed at over 100 airbnbs. This is top 10.

Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Ty!  Pura Vida!  Denise & Will

We had a perfect time al Denise & Will house. The location is just perfect, a few meters away from one of the best beaches of the area, Playa Hermosa. The house very confortable, the bathrooms are great with an outdoor shower with a view to great trees where you can see different animal and birds! Communication was super fluent and the house is well equipped for a family, highly recommended!

Thank you, Pablo!  We hope you'll return to our house we love so much!  We appreciate you and your family - Pura Vida!

A wonderful home in a perfect location for those wanting to be close to the beach and a little outside the bustle of Santa Teresa. The delicious cafe and surf board rental across the street seals the deal. We will definitely be back!!

Casa New Moon is just a short pleasant walk to Playa Hermosa. An excellent beach for surfers and kids. Its the least "touristy" area of Santa Teresa and we chose this area for that reason. The location of this house was just perfect for our family, a cafe and surf rental across the street, a lovely tea house at the corner and a local grocery store a short walk away. The house was excellently maintained, very clean, amazing AC and very comfortable. Stocked with all needed. Good wifi. In the future I would consider renting both houses on the property and coming with family or friends.

Thanks so much for your kindness.  We, of course, would be thrilled if you can return again to Full Moon.  Pura Vida! Denise & Will

denise and will's place is spacious and clean and well located a few minutes' walk from the beach

beautiful house, the beach is really close to the house, the host is very communicative and they helped me with all my questions!

Great place at a great location just 150 mts from The most amazing beach in the area. The house is in front of a surf shop and an amazing cafe. Good Wifi, AC, and all amenities, although there is no place that the house gets direct sun (probably good in summer).

Don’t hesitate- book! Our favourite thing was- it is a Very spacious house.

Thanks Navi - So glad you enjoyed Full Moon.  We hope you are able to return one day!  Pura Vida! Denise & Will

Fantastic house in the perfect location and in the perfect area in my opinion.

Kai we were certainly lucky that you selected our Full Moon home for your month of May stay.  You were a perfect guest.  We would love to see you return!  Pura Vida! Denise & Will

Denise and Will's house is in a super location, close to Hermosa and with less crowds than in Santa Teresa. The sea at the nearest beach is quite quiet, and there are also very nice tide pools nearby. The stay was great, the house is very spacious and comfortable, the hosts are super attentive and it is also close to several rich restaurants and supermarkets. 100% recommended!!

La casa de Denise y Will está en una súper ubicación, cerquita de Hermosa y con menos tumulto que en Santa Teresa. El mar de la playa más cercana es bastante tranquilo, y cerca también hay unas tide pools muy lindas. La estadía estuvo genial, la casa es muy espaciosa y cómoda, los hosts súper atentos y además está cerca de varios restaurantes ricos y supermercados. 100% recomendada!!

Hola Maria!  Thank you so much for staying in Full Moon and for your kind review.  I hope you come back again to enjoy the beach.  Pura Vida! Denise & Will

Full moon is in an awesome location in walking distance to the best beach in the area, Playa Hermosa. The neighborhood is really quiet with a few things in walking distance (mini market and a couple of restaurants) and then just a short drive into town for all that you could be wishing for. Denise's communication is amazing and she is very available to answer any questions via email. The house itself was the perfect size for us and our two kids. A few things on the property were starting to show their age, however (i.e. a few minor leaks in the roof when it rained). Also, while this may not be an issue with this specific house (may be the general area, as we stayed in Santa Teresa proper on our last visit), the internet was really touch and go. So if you plan to be working remotely this could be a problem if you have scheduled meetings, as there is no cell reception in the area either as a back up. But when it was working, it worked well. Overall the house was fine and a great home base for our beach excursions.

We had a wonderful stay at Full Moon.  The house is incredibly comfortable, clean and located just two blocks away from Hermosa beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Karina - It is so nice to hear that our guests are happy with their choice when there are so many out there!  We would LoVe for you to stay at Full Moon again!!  Pura Vida! Denise & Will

Full Moon is just magical! Our hosts were gracious and with fantastic communication. The place exceeded our expectations and the location was amazing. Thank you Denise and Will, we will see you again!!!

Thank you Jovanka - you and your family were delightful to host.  We hope you return to our Full Moon again! Pura Vida!!

The location is perfect. You can hear the ocean from the porch. It is a super comfortable place with a huge kitchen, living room and outdoor area to lounge around in. I would book this place again in a heartbeat.

Jennifer You are really making me miss our home there!  Glad you enjoyed your stay and we would love to have you return!  Pura Vida! Denise

Our stay Denis & Will’s place in Playa Hermosa was great. Location is just up the road from the beach and surf. Across the street there is a coffee shop and a surf shop were you could also rent a surfboard. We had couple of hiccups but the managers Casey and Kristi were quick to respond and solve any issues. Overall recommend!

Denise and Will really set us up great on our trip when we unexpectedly needed to stay longer. The house was true magic in my favorite area and 1 min walk to the best beach around. Our contact with Denise has been fast and amazing and Casey who looks after the property has a heart of gold and was always finding ways to make our stay even better.  It is true paradise, true Pura vida. We shared the mangos off the tree in the yard with a family of monkeys, and stayed cool mid-day with the shade in the yard and the way the house is set up to not get hot. This is quiet because north of busy Santa Teresa but you have the best pizza around the corner, great food across the street, board rental next door, and a little grocery shop walking distance. We have stayed at half the houses in this town over the years and I really love this one. Feels like it’s our home away from home. It is simple and it is perfect. I will def come back and would recommend to others for sure.

Fantastic place steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. We had a very memorable stay here at the full moon house. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Thank you, James!  We would love to have you return!! Ciao - Denise

Denise and Will’s place is perfect! Just a 2 minute walk to the beach with a cafe across the street and all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Thank you! Glad you had a good time, Lauren and look forward to your return!  Pura Vida! Denise & Will

Beautiful house, next door neighbor / caretaker is friends with owners creating very welcoming vibe.  Highly recommend for families. Very close to beach that is stunning and kid friendly (low tide is amazing for kids - walk ten minutes and snorkel giant tide pools). Restaurant across street is great, hit Que Mae brewing up the hill.

Thank you Matt!  We were lucky you found us!  Enjoy the holidays, Denise & Will

We loved everything about Full Moon! Just a quick stroll to great surf and great food. We’ll be back for sure!

We absolutely loved our stay.  The house is beautiful, comfortable and clean.  Just steps away from the sweetest strip of beach, we will definitely return.

Thank you Ritu.  Glad you enjoyed your stay and Full Moon worked well for you and your family.  We look forward to your return!  Pura Vida! Denise & Will

House was great and as pictured/described. Location was perfect (for us): right across from a surf shop, short walk to a great beach, and just close enough to Santa Teresa to be able to take advantage of shops and restaurants without being in the middle of things constantly. We felt comfortable and safe throughout our visit. Hosts/house were great all the way around!

Gabriella - Thank you for staying at our Full Moon house.  You were all perfect guests!  Hope you will return one day, Pura Vida! Denise & Will

Very nice house, confortable and great location, only 150 mts to the beach.

Thanks Ignacio - You were a pleasure to work with and happy that you enjoyed yourselves!  Please come back one day!  Denise & Will

Amazing location and house. I will recommend it to everyone who wants to go to Costa Rica.

Increible ubicacio y casa. La voy a recomendar a todos los que quieran ir a Costa Rica.

Full Moon is a great house! Amazing location, cool design on the house, and the outdoor deck is perfect for AM coffee and all day hanging out. It's a special little place and we'll be back soon!!

Thanks Nick for coming to our house!  We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves and hope you return sometime!  Ciao, Denise & Will

Denise and Will’s place is fantastic for a visit to Playa Hermosa. The home is spacious, well decorated and comfortable. Their friends Noelia and Kristi who help manage their place are very knowledgeable and helpful. The place is a quick walk to the beach, five mins max. Across the street you have the Colour Cafe and next door you have the Tiamat Cafe. Between those two you are covered in terms of food and drink. Santa Teresa is not walking distance but a good 10-15 minutes on an ATV or a cab. Cabs are hard to find so you must plan ahead. We went over to Tiamat and they called cabs for us. One time Noelia dropped us off. It is a bit rural with unpaved roads, not a lot of lighting, cabs, but very safe. For many the rural nature is part of the experience. I was there for a wedding with several friends and we really enjoyed the trip as a whole. I would definitely visit again.

We highly recommend Denise & Will’s place. The house is fully equipped, cozy, clean, spacious and overall comfortable. Location rocks, only 200 meter walk from one of the best beaches in the country. Communication with host is clear/quick response, besides the fact that they are very sweet and attentive. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!

Thank you Melisa!  You are welcome back anytime,  Denise and Will

Location is fabulous - a 5 minute walk to the most beautiful beach. The house is beautiful. It's very chic, and has A/C! Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you, Robin!  We would welcome you back anytime!  Denise & Will

The host canceled this reservation 81 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Max and I emailed regarding this error on my part.  The night prior I had booked thru another site.  I went to my calendar on Airbnb, and thought I had updated the calendar.  Apparently, I failed to save my change.  I felt terrible for doing this to Max and offered him a discount if he could stay another time, because of my mistake.

We had an incredible time and the hostess are available for any request and responding right away.  The only thing would be location as it is a bit misleading but I understand that it is complicated to explain where you are. Aside from that, the house is very nice, modern and convenient. We didn't use it much as we were out all the time but everything was as shown in pictures. Very comfortable. The Bonus added is Noelia (contact person at C. Rica) who will tell you all the tips and help with activities! Great experience and definitely will be back. Thank you!

Jaime, Glad to hear you and your 2 friends had a good time! I did note on our Airbnb page, per your suggestion, the distance into town so people have a better perspective.   Our distance to the beach was correct (for anyone reading this :-) )  We are very lucky to have Noelia as a friend and manager.  Our lives don't allow for 100% living in Costa Rica, much to Will's chagrin! Thanks for staying at Full Moon and glad to hear you will come back!
