CR SURF House - Beach House with Private Pool - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

This house has been updated since the photos were taken. It is even nicer in person. All of the rooms were nice. The kitchen was large. The pool in the backyard was great for our toddler. Mike and Jose were very helpful and accommodating. Always responsive. We loved this house!!

The rental is part of a closed, safe community. The location of the house was very convenient: just a few minutes away from the beach and a great community pool with a bar and restaurant. The house was clean and had all the amenities necessary for our stay. Having a private pool was a big plus. Mike was very responsive to our requests and went above and beyond with providing additional items for our little ones (high chair, pack and play) to make our experience in Costa Rica a special one. We enjoyed the wildlife surrounding the property (Iguanas, macaws, toucans, monkeys) and great sunsets views. We hope to be able to visit this beautiful place again soon!

Excellent host and very attentive to their guests' stay.

Excelente anfitrión y muy atento a la estadía de sus huéspedes.

Beatiful house in a wonderful community near beach! House was exceptionally clean and had more than ample space to accommodate our family of 4. Our kids loved both the small pool in backyard as well as the community pool. House is located a short drive from Jaco so we could go enjoy the restaurants in town but far enough away to enjoy quiet family evenings. Loved our stay and hope to be back!

Excellent house for a rest time, clean and excellent location! I would definitely come back!

Excelente casa para un tiempo de descanso, limpia y excelente ubicación! Definitivamente volvería!

This house is located in a beautiful gated community of surf houses. The house is beautiful and artistic and felt very homey from the moment we arrived. All essentials are provided and if not there’s a 24/7mini mart within 6mins drive. This is a great place for a group of friends or family! The playa hermosa beach is a gem...it’s clean and not packed (make sure to catch the sunset when it’s not cloudy) words can’t do it justice! But apart from all the above Mike was simply outstanding in terms of communicating and keeping in touch with prompt responses to any small questions we had! Can’t wait to visit this place again :) Thanks Mike!

Excellent stay , a very comfortable and safe house. The host was very friendly and helpful.

Excelente estadia , una casa muy cómoda y segura. El anfitrión muy amable y atento.

My family and I had incredible time during our stay at Hermosa Palms. The house was so clean, spacious, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Mike was a very efficient and thoughtful host...when the A/C unit in one of the bedrooms broke, Mike had it fixed within hours. All of the staff on the grounds were friendly and made us feel welcome. Yo-go’s cafe has the best food and drinks! The pool and beach was about a 5 minute walk and had plenty of chairs and shade to relax and watch the surfers in the morning. We can’t wait to come back!

We were a group down in CR for surfing and this house was only a 7 minute walk to the beach. The house is about a 20 minute beach walk to the nearest restaurant or 40 mins to the main hostels and restaurants but it was amazing to be in a gated secured community. Board rentals on site, on beach massages, a swim up bar in the pool (the bartender was on green season vacation during our stay unfortunately). Mike was the most helpful host and we sent him Qs everyday with fast answers and local tips. He set us up with airport pick up and drop off which was amazing. Truly a great trip — especially if you have a rental car to get to Jaco and the area as the house is a bit secluded. Thank you, Mike!!

Michael's place, like the last time, was really great, private, friendly and it really felt like home. I'm sure I will be visiting his place often. Also he was a great host and very attentive during our stay.

This was our first time at Playa Hermosa and we loved our stay. The house was close to the beach and pool and we enjoyed drinking coffee in the morning while watching Macaws in the tree behind the house. Would definitely recommend!

The house was great with plenty of space. Condominium was in gated community with amazing beach and access to the pool with a swim up bar. Very fun stay!

We had an amazing time at Mike’s place. Allison, the concierge, even went with us horseback riding and sailing. She made sure we had everything we needed and gave excellent tips for restaurants and tours. Thanks to Allison we had one of the funnest trips yet. We loved having a cozy house to come back too and loved the house pool as well as the community pool on the beach. I highly recommend Mike’s house!

Michael's house was really great, private and secure. I highly recommend this place and I'll probably will be visiting again soon.

This house is great! Our family of 6 had plenty of room. It was nice to hang out in the private pool but we really enjoyed the community pool and swim up bar. The food food and drinks were great. The beach is one  best that we’ve ever been to, wide and sandy. The location is perfect, somewhat secluded but it doesn’t take long to get to restaurants or things to do. We were there for Christmas and it couldn’t have been better. Michaels helped us arrange for a chef to come and cook Christmas dinner for us. A better meal I haven’t had in a long time. We definitely hope to come back!

Mike went above & beyond to help us on our trip. The house was beautiful, clean, had lots of fresh towels & was perfect for our stay. Can't wait to come back!! 

Great neighborhood. Great pool (private and public. Great location!

The house was great and better than expected! The staff was friendly and accommodating. The pool and pool bar was good although under a bit of construction but it should be really nice when completed. The road out to the property was dirt for about half the distance and pretty rough but not sure who's responsibility it is to maintain it. The beach was really clean and flat so running on it was easy. The area was only a short drive into Jaco where all the shopping, dining and nightlife are. Michael was very communicative and kept me informed and helpful. All in all I would highly recommend this location!

Incredible house for a family! Location is perfect and quiet. The place is really safe. We enjoyed a lot the beach and the pools (private and fort the resort). A lot of attraction nearby. Michael is available really quickly if you have any problem ! We really enjoyed our stay !

The house was great, the condo where is at is amazing and the location is so close to San Jose, it couldn't be more fitting for a short trip without a long ride to worry about.  I'm looking forward to my next stay here!

Very nice place to enjoy with the family. Private, friendly, and safe community. Michael was very attentive and available all the time. I highly recommend his place.

Michael and Tina were excellent!!!! The house was simply AMAZING!! The entire Hermosa Palms village was perfect! The community Beach sounded less than nice but I was floored when I went to enjoy it. The swim up bar and Yoyo's fish tacos were PRICELESS accompanied with the mango mint frozen cocktail. Their communication was great as well; had an issue with the wifi the first night but they fixed it the next day while we were out. They both live close and were very accommodating. From the swimming pool, to the community beach, to the ocean itself... the trip was everything to me. The runs in the sunrise to the cocktails and the sunset.. a trip to be remembered. Thanks Mike and Tina!!!

Our stay on Michael's place was great, the house has everything you need to have a great time. The pool was excellent,  my kids love it. Michael provided very good follow up prior and during our stay.  Highly recommend the place for families with kids.

First time in Costa Rica, travelling with kids (7 & 3) and Grandma. Casa Pez Vela was in a fantastic location, nearby (10 min drive) to main town (Jaco) with plenty of restaurants and grocery shops. Good airconditioning and laundry, very safe. Private pool was amazing and well kept with plenty of towels. The community pool with snack bar was also very well maintained and friendly. The beach is a surfing beach but kids had fun in the waves and playing in the sand. The abundance of iguanas was a big hit with the kids. Very close to kayaking, ziplining and other activities. Overall we had a great time at Michael's place & in this part of Costa Rica.

We had a great stay at Michael's place. The house was large and well laid out ... great for a family or group. Pool was beautiful and beds very comfortable. The house is in a gated community with a fantastic communal pool right on the beach. Lots of wildlife around the area...birds including macaws, iguanas and turtles on the beach laying eggs. Loved Costa Rica and Hermosa was close to many attractions.

Michael was a great host and very attentive to our stay. The place is very spacious and secure. 

Michael was friendly and accessible the entire time. He was out of town the day of our arrival, but had a friend meet us at the house as soon as we got there to give us the run down. We had trouble figuring out one or two of the AC units and he offered to come by the next day and help us out. It was great to meet him and he was able to get it working  for us. We had access to our private pool, the community pool and a beach practically to ourselves! One of the best things, and it may seem trivial, but in addition to the entire house being well stocked with anything we could need, there was an abundance of clean towels for us....not the usual, one per person! Security was friendly, the community is lovely and it is truly right on the beach. It was a great way to end our first visit to Costa Rica. Michael is the first person we will call next time we are headed to Playa Hermosa!! Thanks so much. 

Michael was an amazing host! Not only was he kind and helpful, but he was also very receptive and responsive! We loved the place and will definitely be going often, it was probably one of my best experiences with Airbnb. If you´re looking for a place, look no more, just book it!
