5BR villa in Playa Hermosa

Villa La Costa-Beach Front Luxury w/ Private Pool! - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Some of the best sunsets in Costa Rica.  The listing is a little confusing because the description of the beds doesn't match the photos provided.  The house consists of 2 houses - main house and a small guest house.  The main house has 3 bedrooms (2 king beds and 1 double) all with on-suite bathrooms and a separate half bath in the living area.  The guest house has 2 bedrooms (1 king and one queen), a kitchenette, and 1 bathroom.  The house is nice, but could use some minor cosmetic repairs.  The neighborhood is great and the location is pristine.  You can watch the sunset daily from the back porch.  We had a large group and the tables only sat 7 people maximum.  The pool is very small and the hot tub isn't heated.  A/C units worked great.  Overall, the house is pretty nice and is located in a great spot about 10 minutes from downtown Jaco.

Our stay in Playa Hermosa was fantastic. Everybody, including my wife and three kids, felt right at home as soon as we walked in the front door. They all congratulated me on my selection of Airbnb‘s. We only stayed for a few days, and wish we could stay longer. Our hosts were extremely helpful and the nearby community pool with bar and restaurant was super enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful stay on a beautiful beach in Costa Rica.

Family with 3 small kids and first time in Costa Rica. Mikes place was amazing! First off the beach is beautiful walkable and swimmable. The community is safe and welcoming! If you want to go to the community pool it’s less the 100 steps away and there is a swim up bar and restaurant. Amazing food and even better service. Yoyo was the first person we met. She runs the bar. She is so helpful and knowledgeable about local things to do. She speaks very good English and helps manage the home so she is right there when you need anything. I asked for wd40 and she handed it to me at the bar! She’s the absolute icing on the cake. We got to know the locals and their kids and every evening got to watch the sunsets with everyone. I can’t say enough good things about this location. The house has comfortable beds, great a/c, nicely set up kitchen and good WiFi. We will come back and we will also send all of our friends here for the best Costa Rican experience!!!

Beautiful home, attentive owner, fantastic trip

Mike was a great host and helpful in planning activities! The space was fairly clean and was in a nice community on the beach.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay in Hermosa Palms. The community is beautiful and really welcoming to families. The pool club was amazing for my 2 kids (4 and 1.5 yrs) since it was fun to swim and we could get drinks/food at the swim-up bar. The location was beautiful right near the beach (esp sunsets)! The house had great AC too. The reason I'm giving a 3 star review is because the house was quite rundown and didn't match the pictures (which are probably 5+ yrs old). This was frustrating when we were paying $1200+ per night to stay in a beautiful 5-bdr villa. Here are some of our concerns that we also shared w Mike. We hope the owner will fix for other families who come: -Photos/listing should better reflect there are 2 houses. The WIFI in back house didn't work well and we had to pay for daily hotspot passes to do zoom video calls -Furniture was old/stained -Peeling paint on multiple walls -ants/water damage in kitchen -large hole in patio -Old toilets w issues/smells

Mike is a great host! The house is right on the beach inside a gated community with a Club House where you can order delicious food! Definitely coming back next year to Hermosa Palms and renting one of the houses that Mike hosts!

Mike’s house in Costa Rica was amazing. Right on he beach- you can hear the sound of the waves and overall very serene relaxing environment. The house is very nice and we’ll maintained.

He's a great host, everything is as described. The house, attention and so on. I would come back without thinking twice.

Es un excelente anfitrión, todo es tal lo describe. La casa, atención y demás. Regresaría sin pensarlo dos veces.

Great location on Playa Hermosa.  Mike was very communicative and helpful with anything we needed.  Great experience for our whole extended family of 10.

This home was amazing!!  The house is situated right on the beach 🌊!  The community is safe and has an amazing pool with a pool bar that is right next to the house.  Mike was so responsive to every question I had.  He recommended an awesome chef!  We had a small issue with the water pressure in the house and he sent someone over to fix it within a half hour!!! When I come back to Costa Rica I will definitely be staying at this house if it's available!  10+++ stars. Don't even hesitate, highly worth it if you have a large group.   

The house is incredible! I highly recommend this spot. Some notes: -not walkable to restaraunts/downtown so best to rent a car ($20 taxi ride to jaco) -fun to walk straight out onto the beach -michael was very nice in setting up ride getting from aiport to the house and vice-versa

This home is beyond amazing!    The pictures do not capture the "wow" of this home.  We're took a vacation with two families, 4 adults, 2 kids,2 teens.  The house was great, we never felt crowded, the teens stayed in the guest house which was nice for them to have 'their own place'.  The beach was clean and stretched out forever.  Morning walks on the beach with a cup of coffee were one of my favourite things to do, a few neighbour's dogs even tagged along.  This will rank as one of our top vacations. I should note that the road in is a bumpy dirt road in parts so when you arrive do not panic that you are lost 😉

This house is amazing. Everything was exactly as described and our group couldn't have been happier. Our host Michael was very helpful in setting up rides to and from the airport. He was also very helpful with suggestions on activities in the area. I highly recommend this house for vacation. Sleep on the hammocks and enjoy the view!

Gordon, I'm glad you had fun and we look forward to seeing you again next year. Thanks!

We were a group of 9 friends (couples and singles) staying in this house for 6 days. It was absolutely perfect! We loved the privacy of having our own pool but having the option to visit the bigger, public pool with swim up bar was a huge plus. The house is exactly as shown in the pictures and the beach is super close. Sunsets were stunning. Playa Hermosa was a great option for us because it was so close to Jaco (10 min drive) and Manual Antonio (1.5 hour drive). The town of Playa Hermosa is very cute with a few very good restaurants and local bars. We went out in Jaco a few nights and had fun. It was easy to get taxis once we had the number. The house does not provide toilet paper which would have been good to know before arriving. The house manager Tina was very helpful and responsive. She provided lots of options for tours but we ended up spending most of the time exploring on our own or partying at the house. We recommend having the chef, Ezequiel, cook dinner one night. He was a nice guy and the food was great. There are so many places to explore in Costa Rica but this was a perfect experience for us and we would definitely recommend it. 

The house was absolutely beautiful! We loved the expansive view and access to the beach, the pool was perfect, and every need/amenity was at our finger tips. Tina and Michael were incredibly gracious hosts and addressed all of our needs with aplomb. Highly recommend this house!

Michael was an excellent host! We have never been to that side of the world yet and Michael made it easy for us. He set us up with an amazing Tour guide who picked us up and took us to the airport. The house was immaculate and clean. Michael and his concierge service checked in on us and made sure we had everything we wanted as well as where to go around town and how to get there. Will definitely be going back. Thanks Michael!

Thanks. I look forward to seeing you all again! mg

This place was great! Very clean very spacious and drop dead gorgeous! Pictures are accurate and a very good location far enough to relax from the downtown area but close enough to take a taxi into Jaco beach in 15 minutes! Would stay here again for sure!
