Beautiful beachfront house! - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Priscilla was very responsive, usually within an hour. She was very nice and accommodating. The place was very clean. The kitchen had everything needed to make meals. There was plenty of seating inside and out. Priscilla was very friendly and provided wonderful recommendations

A beautiful beachfront place with a private pool. Very comfortable. All rooms have A/C. The kitchen is fully equipped.  Pretty neat and clean. Communication with Priscila and Edgar, the person in charge of the house, was very good. They allowed us to check in early, and it was very helpful to make the most of the time. The beach is very nice and it's 5-35 minutes from nearby beaches that are worth checking out. Very safe and quiet place

Un lugar precioso frente a la playa, con piso una privada. Muy cómodo todas las habitaciones cuentan con a/c. La cocina sumamente equipada.  Bastante aseada y limpia. La comunicación con Priscila y Edgar la persona encargada de la casa fue muy buena. Nos permitieron hacer el check in antes y fue de gran ayuda pra aprovechar el tiempo. La playa muy linda y se encuentra a 5-35 minutos de playas cercanas que vale la pena conocer. Muy seguro y tranquilo el lugar

The home's location is fantastic, and we agree with the positive reviews regarding the area. It’s close to the beach, and there are several good restaurants nearby, making it a convenient place to stay . The backyard was another huge draw: there was plenty of seating, a nicely maintained pool (with pool noodles), and easy beach access. With that said, we agree with other reviews mentioning the home could use some TLC and upgrades. Here are things we would have liked to know before booking. Although the listing says hot water, there is no hot water in the kitchen so we had to boil water to wash dishes. The refrigerator did not keep food as cold as expected, resulting in spoilage. Mangoes fell regularly from the trees, causing loud crashes every night on the metal roof. During a rainstorm, the roof leaked onto a bed. We also noticed a sewer smell coming from the bathroom off the kitchen (which we were told happens when it rains. We didn't stay in that room because of the smell.

The location of this house is what stands out the most. It is a flat yard with pool leading straight to the beach. This is the second time at this property and Priscila has made some upgrades since the last time we stayed. It is an authentic Tico house with the added luxury of air conditioning in each bedroom. It was a great house for our family. We stayed with our two adult kids and spouses and 3 grandchildren. It was a very special week for us.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: We have been visiting Playa Hermosa for years and it’s been a very welcoming and comfortable place. This Airbnb is comfortable and spacious, the photos need to be updated but the majority is just how you see it. At 2:50am we were robbed. Two men came into the Airbnb through the back sliding glass doors, they came into peoples room while they were sleeping and stole various objects of value. Please ensure you lock all of the doors and be aware of your surroundings. The host shared the security videos with us but besides that she didn’t do much else, she just said it was unfortunate. I spent hours talking to neighbors, the locals were incredibly helpful sharing their security videos. Foreigners who have purchased property here also had experienced break ins (2 others in that past 3 days) so ensure that you lock everything even your bedroom doors if you stay here. Edgar, the man that comes and cleans the pool, felt bad and he was very

PLEASE READ THE FACTS. I am truly sorry this happened to this guest, however, even when they were advised to make sure to lock up and set the alarm system, they were negligent and went to sleep with the sliding doors wide open and did not turn on the alarm system. My main concern is the safety of our guests, and as proof of that I installed i camaras and an alarm system, as well as reinforced locks in all the doors and windows. If you read all the reviews, no one has said anything about break ins in the house. Actually this year, we had a very nice lady from Canada rent the house for 3 monts, she is 70 and she was staying at the house most of the time by herlsef. She did not have any issued. (I can provide her info in case needed). Therefore no matter if you have all the security in the world, if you leave the doors wide open (we have the video), and no alarm, you might have someone get in, here or in any part of the world.

This home in Playa Hermosa is just as pictured or even better.  The home grounds are very well kept with a large pool.  The back yard is fenced and right on the beach.  The house was just as described and had more amenities than listed.  Hot water in the showers was also a plus. Small details like having ice cube trays already filled and glasses chilled in the freeze was a wonderful touch.  The area felt very safe and low key but still with many restaurants within easy walking distance.  We were able to watch iguanas, parrots and howler moneys all from the comfort of the lounge chairs beside the pool.  Pricilla, the host, and her grounds keeper Edgar were very responsive and helpful with anything we needed.

Great location. Very spacious and pleasant. The patio and pool are quite enjoyable. The exit to the beach is one of the best features of the place. The kitchen could have a little more equipment. Generally speaking, we liked the house a lot.

Excelente ubicación. Muy espaciosa y agradable. El patio y la piscina se disfrutan bastante. La salida a la playa es una de las mejores características del lugar. La cocina podría tener un poco más de equipamiento. En términos generales la casa nos gustó bastante.

Priscila was an excellent host.  She went out of her way to make for a great vacation for my family.  She even purchased some beach toys for my grandson.  He loved them.  There was lots of space inside and out for our large group.  We loved waking up to the sound of the ocean and walks on the beach to many great restaurants.  The iguanas and monkeys were very entertaining to watch.  Kitchen was well stocked.

Our stay at the house was exceptional. From the first moment, the attention of Mr. Edgar, the house manager, was totally timely and full of kindness, always making sure that everything was perfect. Priscilla also gave us a warm and attentive service that made us feel at home. The property has all the necessary amenities to enjoy and relax without worries, and the proximity to the beach just steps away is a real plus. It's definitely an amazing place we hope to go back to

Nuestra estadía en la casa fue excepcional. Desde el primer momento, la atención de don Edgar el encargado de la casa fue totalmente oportuna y llena de amabilidad, siempre pendiente de que todo estuviera perfecto. Priscilla también nos brindó un trato cálido y atento que hizo que nos sintiéramos como en casa. La propiedad cuenta con todas las comodidades necesarias para disfrutar y relajarse sin preocupaciones, y la cercanía a la playa a tan solo pasos, es un verdadero plus. Sin duda es un lugar increíble al que esperamos volver

Excellent location. Very comfortable, we will definitely come back!

Excelente ubicación. Mucha comodidad, sin duda volveremos!

This was an amazing Airbnb right on the ocean in Costa Rica’s Playa Hermosa. My family loved our stay here for 4 days. The host was very easy to contact with any questions. Beds were comfy and the home fit my family of six very comfortably. It was incredible to wake up to waves. You can see the ocean from the house. What a view on vacation. My kids enjoyed having a pool as well. We enjoyed some great local restaurants nearby and went fishing with a local guide. It was an Extremely peaceful location and we felt really safe during our stay. We would love to stay again in the future!!

House facing the beach and there is an excellent pool, the beach was almost completely deserted, there are several restaurants near the property, the property is old and there is very old furniture, in the center of the house there are only fans and no air conditioning, but all the rooms are air-conditioned, the kitchen is equipped and there is everything you need, the house in general needs some maintenance because it is old and the showers require renovation, overall it was completely fine, the hostess was courteous and immediately answered every request

בית פונה לחוף הים ויש בריכה מצויינת החוף היה שומם כמעט לחלוטין יש מספר מסעדות ליד הנכס , הנכס ישן ויש רהיטים מאוד ישנים במרכז הבית יש רק מאווררים ואין מזגן אבל כל החדרים ממוזגים המטבח מאובזר ויש כל מה שצריך הבית בכללי צריך קצת תחזוקה כי הוא ישן והמקלחות דורשות שיפוץ סהכ היה בסדר גמור היה המארחת שרותית ומייד עונה לכל פנייה

Great location, on the beach. Restaurant next door, everything was perfect. Annie

Superbe localisation , sur la plage . Restaurant à côté tout à été parfait . Annie

The property is in an ideal location, pretty much on the beach. We were very happy here.

We had a great stay with our group. The location and house are great!

WE LOVED IT!!! The house is beautiful!!! It has all the amenities and is just as seen in the photos. We spent several days with the family and we have unforgettable memories. Steven and Lucia are charming and resolved our concerns very quickly. Steven helped us hire a boat tour, jet skis, and really got the best prices. 100% recommended.

NOS ENCANTÓ!!! La casa es preciosa!!! Tiene todas las comodidades y es tal como se ve en las fotos. Estuvimos varios días con la familia y nos llevamos recuerdos inolvidables. Steven y Lucía son encantadores y resolvieron nuestras inquietudes rapidísimo. Steven nos ayudó a contratar un tour en lancha, jet sky’s, y de verdad consiguió los mejores precios. Recomendable 100%.

Beautiful location and spacious house. We were right on the beach but it still felt very private. Check out instructions were a bit confusing but host was super responsive and resolved quickly. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful oceanfront property right next to several good restaurants. Plus, we saw monkeys and large iguanas on the property several times. The house had a lot of room and the pool was perfect for the kids. Great stay!

This is the second time I have visited this house and I hope to be back soon. Priscila and Steven's service was excellent, with a great focus on customer service. Steven helped us organize a boat trip with all the possible amenities, and both were always attentive to making our stay perfect. Thanks to them, we had a perfect birthday celebration: location, house, amenities and others.

Es la segunda vez que visito esta casa y espero poder volver pronto. La atención de Priscila y Steven fue excelente, con un gran enfoque en el servicio al cliente. Steven nos ayudó a organizar un viaje en barco con todas las comodidades posibles, y ambos estuvieron siempre atentos a que nuestra estadía fuera perfecta. Gracias a ellos, tuvimos una celebración de cumpleaños perfecta: ubicación, casa, comodidades y otros.

We LOVED our time at Casa Hermosa. Everything was just as described. I can’t imagine a better location for our family of 5. Our 3 boys spent their days going to the beach and back to the pool. The beach itself is calm with shallow water, perfect for our kids. To be able to walk out of the back of the house and be directly on the beach was so convenient. There are some great bars and restaurants walking distance from the home and you really wouldn’t need a car. We did rent a car to explore a little further and ate a couple nights out at different restaurants. We also ventured to see a local waterfall two of the days, and went zip lining another. The house itself not only is situated directly on the beach but you can spot howler monkeys and iguanas daily in the trees. While we were there a howler monkey even came down into the yard one day. Cholo the caretaker was amazing, taking us fishing one day and set up massages another. We love Cholo!!

The house is very comfortable, and it was very good that it had air conditioning in all the rooms. The view was great, the pool was very comfortable and shaded, which was excellent. The house is very well maintained and it's great to have an extra freezer. The kitchen stock is very good. There is a small supermarket nearby with everything you might need. The access to the beach was the best, being so close to the sea is wonderful. There were 10 of us and we were comfortable and happy. We recommend this place and look forward to coming back soon. I would only recommend some shelves in the room next to the kitchen.

La casa es muy cómoda, muy bueno que tenía aire acondicionado en todos los cuartos. La vista genial, la piscina muy cómoda y con sombra lo que fue excelente. La casa está muy bien en mantenimiento y genial contar con congelador extra. El stock de cocina muy bien. Hay supermercado pequeño cerca con todo lo que uno puede necesitar. El acceso a la playa fue lo mejor, estar tan cerca del mar es maravilloso. Fuimos 10 personas y estuvimos cómodos y contentos. Recomendamos este alojamiento y esperamos volver pronto. Solo recomendaría unos estantes en el cuarto que está junto a la cocina.

The location of Casa Hermosa is simply extraordinary. It is located directly on a beautiful beach, not too busy. The pool was also great with a shallow end, ideal for the little ones. It's shaded in the afternoon, which is perfect for taking a break from the hot Costa Rican sun. The small town of Playa Hermosa is quite minimal and there is not much to do, so it is recommended to have a car to get around. The house is a little old and it's true that it needs a little love, but we weren't in Costa Rica to stay indoors so we didn't mind. We were a group of 10 and there was plenty of room for everyone. Cholito who takes care of the house is very kind and responded quickly to our questions. In short, I recommend it 100% and I will go back without hesitation if we return to the area in a large group.

La localisation de la casa Hermosa est tout simplement extraordinaire. Elle se trouve directement sur une très belle plage, pas trop fréquentée. La piscine était également géniale avec une partie peu profonde, idéale pour les petits. Elle est à l’ombre en après-midi, ce qui est parfait pour prendre une pause du soleil brûlant du Costa Rica. La petite ville de Playa Hermosa est assez minimale et il n’y a pas grand chose à faire, alors il est recommandé d’avoir une auto pour se déplacer. La maison est un peu vieillotte et c’est vrai qu’elle aurait besoin d’un peu d’amour, mais nous n’étions pas au Costa Rica pour rester enfermé alors cela ne nous a pas incommodé. Nous étions un groupe de 10 et il y avait assez d’espace pour tout le monde. Cholito qui s’occupe de la maison est très gentil et répondait rapidement à nos questions. Bref, je recommande à 100% et j’y retournerai sans hésitation si on retourne dans la région en grand groupe.

We enjoyed the location close to the beach. It was nice to see wildlife right on the property and to have sufficient parking for at least 2 vehicles. The house needed some TLC. It was difficult to keep track of all the keys for the six different padlocks. It would have been useful to have one key for all six padlocks.

The house and outside space was incredible. We saw lots of howlers monkeys from the house! Absolutely incredible location and incredible value! Priscilla was quick to respond, kind and helpful and the caretaker Cholo, was so friendly as well!  The house isn’t perfect but if it was it would cost a whole lot more. It was perfect for our group of ten!

The location is amazing.  Right on the beach with a great backyard and pool. Host is extremely accommodating (gave us both early check-in and late check-out), and responds quickly. Would definitely stay here again.

Cholo the caretaker was so nice and helpful with keys and instructions. The view and the backyard were so beautiful. Everything worked well, all the bedrooms had excellent AC and the appliances all worked. The showers had hot water and the smart TV was excellent. Great restaurants within easy walking distance and this location was close to many of our tours. We saw several birds and monkeys right from the backyard. The pool was great and clean.

It is a perfect place to relax, although the house is not modern, it has all the amenities. The attention of "Cholo" the gentleman who takes care of the house, is very pleasant and attentive. The beach really is beautiful, with a quiet surf. Most of the rooms are very comfortable. The road to the house is in perfect condition, the house is in an easily accessible place, above paved street. We would go back.

Es un lugar perfecto para relajarse, si bien la casa no es moderna, tiene todas las comodidades. La atención de "Cholo" el señor que cuida la casa, es muy amena y atenta. La playa de verdad es hermosa, de oleaje tranquilo. La mayoría de los cuartos son muy cómodos. La carretera hasta la casa está en perfecto estado, la casa se encuentra en un lugar de fácil acceso, sobre calle pavimentada. Volveríamos ir.

The accommodation is very well located on a black sand beach. The kids loved making sand castle and finding shells at the bottom of the water. The sunsets are beautiful. We ate at the Aqua sport which is a 2-minute walk away. On the other hand, the accommodation needs repair and much more cleaning. It's not as clean as the reviews suggest. Lots of brown stains on the walls and out of the air conditioning. The roof flows (it wet for a few minutes during our stay) and it brought it in from the ceiling and wet the floor of the master bedroom. Stained paths of I don't know what formed with hundreds of ants on the walls. We had to kill at least 3 cockroaches in the accommodation and certain in broad daylight too, which shortened our stays since we did not want to bring this back to our home and everything infested our things.

Le logement est très bien situé sur une plage de sable noir. Les enfants ont adorés faire des château de sable et trouver des coquillages au fond de l’eau. Les couchés de soleil sont magnifiques. Nous avons mangé à l’Aqua sport qui est à 2 minutes de marche. Par contre le logement a besoin de réparation et de beaucoup plus d’entretien. Il n’est pas aussi propre que le laisse croire les commentaires. Beaucoup de taches brune sur les murs et sortant des air climatisés. Le toit coule (il a mouillé quelques minutes durant notre séjour) et ça l’a rentrer à partir du plafond et mouillé le plancher de la chambre principale. Des chemins taché de je ne sais quoi formés avec des centaines de fourmis sur les murs. Nous avons du tuer au moins 3 cafards dans le logement et certain en plein jour aussi, ce qui a écourté notre séjours puisque nous ne voulions pas ramener cela dans notre maison et tout infesté nos choses.

Great place to host a big family....we had 4 generations make great memories

We were a group of 8: 6 adults and 2 kids aged 4 and 6. The location is wonderful--you step out of the house to the backyard, pool, and beach. The back yard is shaded, with occasional iguana and howler monkey appearances. The pool has a ledge which is kid friendly. There's comfortable covered seating out the back door. The property is conveniently located near several good restaurants-- Roberto's, Pescado Loco, El Velero, and an excellent "soda" next to a grocery store. We visited during heavy rains due to a nearby tropical storm. Due to extreme weather there was leakage in the house. Priscila explained the roof will be replaced soon. She offered us a free night's lodging if we were unable to get our flight home. Cholo, the caretaker, is the heart of this home. He met us on arrival, shared his knowledge of the area, maintained the yard and pool beautifully, suggested activities, communicated patiently, and was kind to us all. He embodies the concept of "Pura Vida".

Great location right on the beach! Nice pool spacious home. Everything was as described., kitchen with liquid for our needs. The showers are a bit dated and could use some renovation, but everything worked. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing location! Swim in the pool then walk through the gate to the beach/ocean.

Beautiful pool, convenient location right on the beach. There was a house manager who was mostly around and available to answer questions. There was an issue with a shower that was addressed quickly. Thank you!

We loved the accommodation, the comfort, the location and the treatment of both Priscila and cholito.. we are already planning our next vacation to visit!

Nos encantó el alojamiento, la comodidad, la ubicación y el trato tanto de Priscila cómo la de cholito.. ya estamos planeando nuestras próximas vacaciones para visitarlos!

The location of this property cannot be beat and rivals that of beachfront hotels. The home is beachfront and beside Hotel El Velero. There are several restaurants within walking distance of the home (Rodrigo's, Aquasport, Pescado Loco). Pescado Loco is right across the street from the home. I highly recommend it as it has the best food we ate while in Playa Hermosa. The backyard has a gate that leads directly onto the beach/sand. The home is very spacious and comfortable. As the location is both beachfront and rainforest, be advised that there are both crabs and bugs constantly in the home. The caretaker of the home- Cholo- is on the property daily and is helpful, informative and friendly. Note that if you do not speak or understand Spanish, communication will be an issue. This home is ideal if you want a beachfront family vacation in the comfort of a home. Priscila and Cholo were both wonderful- I highly recommend this property.

If you are looking for "fancy," this is not the place for you.  If you are looking for a nice place with the ocean in your back yard, this is the place for you.  There were nine of us, 6 adults and three teens/kids, and we had plenty of room. Cholo, the caretaker, was there every day eager and willing to help us out with anything.  He was very friendly. He even told us the loud bang we heard at night was the Howler monkies throwing their mango pits down on the roof. Pricila was  a pleasure to work with. ALWAYS responsive. We had a problem with the washer, but Cholo worked until he got it running.  Kitchen had everything we needed.  We cooked several meals.  As stated, nothing fancy here, but oh the view and the peaceful feeling.  I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Thank you Cassandra, we'd love to have you again!

This was the perfect place to stay for our first time in Costa Rica. There were several restaurants within walking distance (Roberto’s was our favorite) lots of wildlife outside and the best cat (Matcha) waiting to greet us every morning. Louise the grounds keeper was wonderful, he helped us get situated and book excursions for fishing and snorkeling and was available for whatever we needed. The host Pracilla was very responsive and friendly and cared about our needs. The beach is beautiful and the pool is larger than expected from the photos.

An absolutely amazing experience! Priscila was super responsive and very helpful. Always available with anything that comes up. The house is perfect for a group. Had everything needed for cooking meals. Large coffee pot to accommodate more people. Comfy beds, somewhat basic, but we aren’t there to be indoors all day. Has what you need for a long, amazing experience! The location is stunning. Literally walk out to the beach and come back to enjoy the pool and AC in your own private oasis. This house is worth it for that alone. And Cholo!! What an amazing host! He cleans up the pool each day, helps with extra needs, and he can arrange literally any excursion you’d like. In fact, you’ll be bombarded with people offering activities, but use Cholo! He took us snorkeling, got us a van, and can arrange for much more! He’s become like a part of our family and is well known by all the locals, say you’re with Cholo, and people will stop soliciting you, lol! Will 100% stay again!

Are you looking for a comfortable place on the beach with a private pool? Then look no further! This is the perfect place for a couple or a large family to stay. The guest rooms had everything we needed and there was a lot of space to hang out. We felt safe staying here. This property is in walking distance to multiple restaurants right on the beach! We preferred this quiet and clean beach (Playa Hermosa) to busier Playa Coco. Short car ride away to many other beaches, towns and sites! Priscila was very quick to communicate and was always pleasant to deal with. Cholo is a wonderful person who comes to clean the pool daily, and can help with planning activities in the area. We highly recommend this property and we look forward to returning! All the best Priscila and Cholo :)

Perfectly relaxing place to stay with 4 teens in tow. The pool and the beach right on the backyard was definitely a plus. There are several restaurants and bars that are walking distance. The beach felt like it’s all ours early in the morning and later in the day. Pricila was very responsive to our questions and Cholo, the care taker of the house was very pleasant and helpful during our stay. He makes sure the pool and the area around the house was clean and taken care of every morning. He goes out of his way to make sure we have everything we need. Thank you for having our family this spring break ❤️

We had a nice 5 days at Priscila's house.  The location next to the beach was awesome.  We were able to see Howler monkeys and iguanas without having to leave the property.  Cholo was very nice - he arranged for a snorkeling trip for our family.  Kitchen supplies were adequate.  The air conditioning in the bedrooms worked well and was a great respite from the heat.  Be careful with the alarm - it would sometimes go off in the middle of the night, even if set to "sleep" mode.   We stopped setting the alarm at night because of this.  The accommodations were dated, but for the price, it offered good value and was a comfortable place to stay.  The ocean was calm and perfect for a family with kids.  The pool was also a bonus for all of us!

Priscilla was very friendly and helpful. Communication was always seamless. The house is spacious and cozy, and was tidy and clean. The pool is quite good, and the location is perfect, in front of the beach. There is quite a lot of space for parqueos, at least 4 cars. Additionally, there are many services (supermarkets, pharmacy) nearby and restaurants. As a recommendation it would be good to fumigate as there are many insects. The overall experience was pretty good.

Priscilla fue muy amable y atenta. La comunicación siempre fue fluida. La casa es amplia y cómoda, y estaba ordenada y limpia. La piscina está bastante bien, y la ubicación es perfecta, al frente de la playa. Hay bastante espacio para parqueos, al menos 4 carros. Adicionalmente, hay muchos servicios (supermercados, farmacia) cerca y restaurantes. Como recomendación sería bueno fumigar ya que hay muchos insectos. La experiencia en general fue bastante buena.

We had such a wonderful stay at Playa Hermosa. The house is as it looks in pictures. It is not modern...more of a true Tico experience. We loved it! What is absolute best thing about the house...THE LOCATION! Being right on the beach was incredible. Cholo was also a marvelous addition to our experience. He was there every morning to clean the pool and do other odds and ends. He always checked on any needs we might have. We used him to charter a boat to snorkel and do some sight seeing which he captained-absolutely wonderful! Priscilla was always so responsive before our stay when I had a couple of questions. She also messaged and checked in on us during our stay. The tree in the front yard was full of monkeys. It was a delight to watch them run around every morning. We went to Aqua for dinner one night which is just a short walk down the beach. We went back for drinks another night. Very cool hang out spot.

Great beach access.  Monkeys, iguanas, parrots so much fun.  Alot of space for a family gathering.  Would have be handy to have afew basic kitchen items such as salt and pepper and ice cubes.  There was a large coffee maker there but for us a small one (10cup) would have been helpful along with coffee for the first morning would have been helpful.  Cholo the grounds keeper was very helpful with everything.  Great place.

I believe this is an older house but with many improvements. The only reason I think it might be older is the wiring and scarcity of electrical outlets, but there were enough for our group of 8 adults and our assorted phones. tablets, and computers even though some might be in awkward locations. Air conditioning in the bedrooms only, but ceiling fans in the great room and kitchen. Plenty of towels. Furniture on the older side. Beds were very comfortable Everything was very clean. I don't think you could possibly do better as to location. Would certainly go back.

House is located steps to the beach and good restaurants. Very dated but clean.

This place is right on the beach. The outdoor area is the key. We had 4 different people see us come out to the beach and ask us about the place. It’s much quieter than Coco over in hermosa. The interior is about what you’d expect in a dated USA home so a bit better than most Tico homes. But AC works. Appliances work. Showers are warm. Beds were comfortable. All things we don’t normally get in a tico home. There is a daily caretaker who is awesome. He does not speak English but through translate so we got lots of good local advice on food massages and fishing. He keeps grounds very nice and keeps pool very clean. You want CR wildlife? No need to look too far. Monkeys here almost every day. Parrots, iguanas, here daily. Already thinking of booking next year. Priscilla was very responsive. Had a Mini emergency and she was instantly on top of it.

Thank you David for your kind review,  I am very happy you guys had a great time, and we'd love to have you back! Pura vida!!!

Beautiful view just steps away from the beach! There were around 16 monkeys playing in the tree one day! Watched them for hours! Our concierge was great and very helpful! Took us on a great snorkeling tour! Would definitely stay again!

Loved the pool and beachfront location. Lots of close restaurants and small stores close by.

You couldn’t get a better location! We loved being beach front and enjoyed the yard! The pool seemed a little cloudy but who needs a pool when you have the ocean steps away. There were some issues with ants but again the location made it easy to overlook the smaller things.

A very walkable location right on the beach. Several good restaurants within easy walking distance. The kids loved the pool.

Fantastic location. The home itself feels a little basic, but if your primary goal is a place with a pool on the beach, this is it. Note air conditioning is only in bedrooms, which is pretty common in CR.

A beautiful and relaxing place to spend family time. A plane to keep going over and over again. Priscilla is a wonderful and easy to reach host.

Lovely place, location with pool and beach!

It is not a safe place (clothes were stolen). Clean áreas but  slippery bathroom floors; leaks, uncomfortable barbecue area.

Place is safe until you have a negligent guest. She was told not to leave stuff unattended at night by the pool area (like in any other rental, hotel or resort). She didn't follow instructions.

The house was very nice, just like you can see in the photos. Priscila from the moment she contacted us and even helped us with a problem we had with passports. We would definitely be back.

La casa estuvo muy bonita, es igual a como se ve en las fotos. Priscila desde el primer momento se contactó con nosotros e incluso nos ayudó con una problema que tuvimos con los pasaportes. Definitivamente volveríamos.

Beautiful house in front of me the beach! Ideal to disconnect and enjoy a few days!!!!! Great location definitely would rent again

Highly recommended , great location, beachfront, restaurants and supermarkets very close by. I always keep an eye out for the stay to be 100%. We're definitely weighing down now when we come back.

Totalmente recomendado , excelente ubicación, frente a playa, restaurantes y supermercados muy cerca. Lucho siempre atento a que la estadía sea al 100%. Definitivamente ya estamos pesando cuando volver.

This was an ideal spot. My wife and I and our adult kids loved it 1. The location is amazing with a gate to the beach. 2. You might look at the photos and tell yourself things look dated. So what. See number 1. 3. Be aware. That there is a lack of 3 prong electrical outlets. There are some 2 prong extension cords, so if you are bringing a laptop with a 3 prong plug , bring an adapter. Also reference back to item 1 4. The internet seems to be capped at 10mbs. And the wifi suffered in the far rooms away from the router. It could use an upgrade. Maybe not the best place to work remotely. Refer back to item 1. 5. Huge side benefit is Cholo, the helper. He will meet you when you arrive. Make sure you let them know when you will arrive so he isn’t wasting time. He will give you a mountain of keys. Hah. Cholo hooked us up with fishing and horse riding. He is a wealth of knowledge. His English is minimal but translation apps work great. We all wanted to come back.

What a place to spend a week with my family. The location couldn't be better with private beach access and several great restaurants in walking distance (we loved Pescado Loco across the street). The pool was amazing and the wildlife was incredible with daily visitors including iguanas and howler monkeys. Cholo, the groundskeeper was great - he organized massages at the house and even bought us fish from the local market that we could prepare on the grill. They also prepared the pack and play for our little one upon arrival and check in was a breeze. The house looks just like the pictures, but one note is that there were some crabs, bugs and lizards in the house at night (to be expected and didn't bother us). Overall, it was a perfect week in a perfect place.

Jesse, thank you again for choosing our vacation rental for your  vacation, we hope you come back soon!!

My family and I came in from California to Costa Rica. We were greeted by Cholo the grounds keeper who came every day to check on us and to clean outside and check the pool chemicals. There were several places to eat within walking distance. And small grocery stores near by as well. You can walk out the back gate to the beach. I do recommend getting a car for going to other towns. You will be greeted at night with lizards and crabs inside as you are in their habit now. Lol. I do also recommend bug spray as the mosquitoes will get you. But over all it was an amazing stay. And Cholo made it even better. He became part of our family. He can set up all different kinds of excursions for you and your family. Pura vida de m ml

The one word in our head from the second we got there through the entire time was "incredible". We had a group of six women and it was the most amazing experience! The home had everything you could possibly need for an amazing get away, and everything else was within a few meters. The pool area was private , the beach view was incredible, we felt right at home with the locals, and did not want to leave! It felt like our own private town, but yet there was plenty to do with more restaurants than expected with amazing meals! Cholo goes above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing experience including taking us snorkeling in which I got to hold a baby octopus in my hand! I suggest using Miguetours as they created unforgettable experiences for us outside of PH as well! If you stay anywhere in CR stay here, but dont tell anyone else because it is the best kept secret in the country!when you go tell Matcha the cat we love her and miss her. If you're looking for a sign this is it!

Location, location, location.  That is what you are paying for with this house and that is exactly what you get.  THE premier location in Playa Hermosa.  I did not give everything a 5 star only because the house is a little tired and the furniture isn’t terribly comfortable (except for the beds which were very comfortable), but it doesn’t matter because you will be spending all of your time by the pool or on the beach.

Great place! Great service! Highly recommended!

Excelente lugar! Excelente atención! Súper recomendado!

House is older but is in an excellent location and has what you need. Cholo is wonderful at helping with anything you might need.  Will definitely go back!

this was my 2nd time staying at this house and I will definitelybe coming back. the location is perfect, Cholo is amazing. Costa Rica 🇨🇷 has my heart. Pura Vida

great location, the house spacious, with all amenities, we will be back soon!!

excelente ubicación, la casa espaciosa, con todas las comodidades, volveremos pronto!!

I love the location and the fact there is a private pool.  I have stayed nearby a few times and had always admired this home.  It is very spacious but a bit tired looking for the price. I am not a fussy traveller. I stay in everything from hostels to 5 star hotels. My friend staying with us was a bit freaked out by the large bugs crawling in under the door in the kitchen.  I hope they took my advice and installed some trim to alleviate this problem.  At the end of the day I would recommend Priscilla’s home for a stay in Playa Hermosa.  It would be perfect for two couples with children.

As pictured. We had daily visits from Iguanas and Howler Monkeys. Also Cholo came every day to check on pool.  The beach is steps away.  There is A/C in the bedrooms only.  The house and property are not pristine to US standards (some cosmetic stuff like painting & minor repairs) none of which interfered with a great time.  The pool has some tiles missing and the washer was broken. it was fixed the day before we left.   The keys are well marked and not as bad as some reviews would have you believe

We had an amazing time at Casa Hermosa! The house is spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed eating meals on the patio and cooling off in the pool. It was great to have the beach right outside the gate! Cholo, the caretaker, was very helpful; we especially enjoyed a snorkeling trip that he organized for us to Playa Jícaro. Priscila, the owner, was also very helpful and responded quickly whenever I contacted her. There was a problem with a piece missing from the Pack n Play for the baby, but we were able to find a solution to the problem. We chose Playa Hermosa partly because it has smaller waves than some other beaches. When we arrived, the ocean waves were much higher than we expected, but they calmed down after a few days, and we also discovered that the south end of the beach generally has smaller waves. All in all, we had a great time and would be happy to go back.

Enough can't be said about how communicative and kind Priscila was from the moment I booked the property until we left. She responded within a couple of hours if not minutes and answered my numerous questions (there were many). The property was located right on the beach with a lovely pool and large yard, fenced. Our group spent equal amounts of time in the comfort of the backyard poolside as we did on the beach, and fell asleep each night to the sound of the waves. We enjoyed the free entertainment of the howler monkeys and iguanas in the trees of the backyard. We did not find the noise of the monkeys too much, it was great fun. The little outside house cat was a cutie too. The centrally located house was walking distance to the restaurants, bars and markets. Don't pay for an expensive rental car if you plan on staying in the area. The food was great everywhere we went. The house was simple with basic amenities as described. The Costa Rican people were lovely and gracious.

Great location,lots of space,great beach. Cholo grounds keeper was great and very helpful. Priscilla is great with any questions or concerns answering within minutes..

We loved Playa Hermosa and how it was right on the water!  We took a boat tour that was organized by Cholito who helps with the house and it was amazing.

Priscila’s home was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better location.  It is in walking distance to several restaurants and bars and is just steps away from the beach.  We spent the days on the black sand and our nights in the pool.  Cholo, the caretaker, was awesome! He cleaned the pool every day before anyone was awake, set us up with jet ski rentals, arranged an excursion tour for us and even arranged for transportation to the airport on our final day.  I would recommend Priscila's home to anyone who is planning to visit Playa Hermosa in the future.

Priscilla's house could not have a better location!  right in the heart of Playa Hermosa, on the beach, walking distance to many restaurants.  We loved the pool as much as the beach, and with 5 bedrooms, there was more than enough space for our 2 families of 4.  Highly recommend!

Our stay was great !! The house is located in a great place for those who want tranquility next to  the beach !! Priscila and Luis' attention ( the cholo) is very good!!

Nuestra estadia estuvo genial !! la casa se encuentra en un lugar provilegiado para los que desean tranquilidad junto a  la playita !! la atencion de Priscila y Luis ( el cholo) muy buena!!

Priscilla’s house location is a 10/10. We LOVED our stay and we loved Cholo- he hooked us up with all the activities we were interested in doing. Everything from snorkeling, scuba, deep sea fishing, and renting jet skis. As an extra bonus Oscar at Pescado Loco across the street cooked our fish that we caught and we had a feast of a dinner one night. Cholo’s daughter came and cooked a couple meals for us too at the house which was great for our group with 5 kids. The a/c in the bedrooms keep you nice and cool and allow you to sleep well after being out and about during the days. The pool has a shallow shelf which was great for our 2 year old nephew and a deep end that the older kids enjoyed. All in all this house is a great find for groups with kids and/or families traveling together. Highly recommend!

Excellent spot! Priscila was AMAZING and Cholo was super-helpful. Our stay there was relaxing and Priscila’s help with transportation was extremely beneficial and gave us peace of mind. Restaurant/bar literally across the street. 2 hotels w/restaurants 2 doors down. Mini market one block away. Just perfect. Amazing host and a lovely beachfront home!

We had plenty of space in the house with 9 people, the amenities were good. We enjoyed the pool very much, as well as the location at the beach. The communication with the landlady was very warm, the Housekeeper Luis was there every day, in the morning he cleaned the pool and inquired if everything was a good fit. Through him we booked a snorkel boat tour which also worked reliably. The hit beaches were lovely, but the coral reefs are pretty broken. Within walking distance we were able to eat well. All in all, it has served its purpose of relaxing by the seaside for a few days at the end of a round trip.

Wir hatten mit 9 Personen reichlich Platz in dem Haus, die Ausstattung war gut. Den Pool haben wir sehr genossen, ebenso die Lage direkt am Strand. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr herzlich, der Housekeeper Luis war täglich da, am Morgen hat er den Pool gereinigt und sich erkundigt ob alles passt. Über ihn haben wir eine Schnorchel-Bootstour gebucht, die auch zuverlässig klappte. Die angefahrenen Strände waren schön, die Korallenriffe jedoch ziemlich kaputt. Fussläufig konnten wir gut essen gehen. Alles in allem hat es seinen Zweck erfüllt, am Ende einer Rundreise noch mal ein paar Tage am Meer zu entspannen.

Great place in an excellent locations. Tons of wildlife in the area as well including monkeys and iguanas.

A wonderful property!! This is a hidden gem. The house is simple & slightly dated in its furnishings, but is very spacious with plenty of beds & bathrooms.  The pool & location on the beach make this such a wonderful place to stay. We did not rent a car & we did not need one at all. Cholo helped arrange transportation for us to & from the airport. Besides for that, everything you need is within walking distance. There are several great restaurants right on the beach, and a mini-market & grocery store within walking distance. Everything you need is there!  We are hoping to return at some point. It’s a wonderful place & we absolutely loved our stay!

If you are looking for a self serve vacation rental, that is quiet, peaceful and not touristy, you have come to the right spot.  The house is older and has a few flaws but the location is fantastic. Chollo is a life saver. Go fishing and/or snorkeling with his friend Marcos. (Great fishing and P.L.> prepared our catch for us that night).  Pescado Loco across the street is amazing, Oscar and Luis will treat you like family. Extremely secure with the surrounding wall, locking entry gate and security system. A/C units in the bedrooms cool the entire house nicely, crank them down and open the bedroom doors.

READ THIS REVIEW!  Positives: Each room has its own split a/c unit, and leaving the bedroom doors open allows for cooling the main areas. The fans in the living room are ready for takeoff! Your clothes will definitely dry on the line in there! The kitchen has the essentials. The living room furniture is comfortable. The location and ocean access was perfect!!! Beach was wide and had soft sand; perfect for swimming! Great restaurants within walking distance. Convenient for flying out of Liberia the next day! Negatives: There are 5 different keys to the house with each door being set to a separate key; some are padlocks. This is concerning if there were to be a fire and frustrating to carry this wad of keys. Hot water was available only in the showers, and only if you turn the water pressure on low because the split heater systems can only heat the water so quickly. The outdoor furniture is worn out and not comfortable. There are no outdoor fans. The upstairs screened balcony does not have any furniture. The pool is on the small side and rather dirty. The mattresses are TERRIBLE; the owner was notified, claimed that no one else had complained, and stated that she would replace them but did not do so while we were there. SO... before you rent this place, contact her to see if she has changed them because they were THE WORST mattresses I have ever encountered. Of all five places we rented on Costa Rica, these mattresses were the worst. Realizing that we are in nature, a certain amount of wildlife is to be expected and has been encountered at other places we have stayed throughout the country; this place had an excessive ant problem.  Keep your sugar and your cereal on Ziploc bags! If the mattresses were replaced and outdoor fans were supplied, this would be an awesome place to stay!

Mattresses have been changed and furniture outside is fine, this is the first guess that has complained about them. Same with water heaters (Read past reviews). The upstairs is not open for renting that is why there is not one picture of it in the ad. The pool is totally fine as it looks on the pictures.

Great place, great location, great communication with the host was always great. We will repeat the visit to the place.

Excelente lugar, excelente ubicación, la comunicación con el anfitrión siempre fue muy buena. Repetiriamos la visita al lugar.

The house was AMAZING...maybe the best on the beach! Easy to walk right out the back to a bunch of perfect beach restaurant/bars, no meal disappointed! The BEST part of the whole thing is Luis/Cholito... he literally made the trip! It's like you have a local bad ass full time concierge there to help you. Don't bother pre-booking or looking for tours, just let him handle it. He took us on the best fishing trip of many of our lives. Caught so many fish, they made us fresh sashimi on the boat, took us to a secret beach, and more! Let him book you a massage, he brought 5 people at once for our group, set up in the back yard, and we all felt like we got the best person! He is there every day to check in and clean the pool area, and then bounces if you don't need him...he's got your back and MADE the trip for us....AWWWYEAAAH to Luis!!! On top of that, the house is super safe, the beach town is just quiet enough that you feel like you have your own beach, if you want to party, go 10 minutes in a taxi to Coco and have a Club night, we loved doing that and going back to our quiet beach....and let's just talk about the sunsets....10 out of 10 every night!! The owner is super-fast to respond to any questions and needs, there is a local store a 10-minute walk away that has all the basics you will need, and plenty of local restaurants that hit every craving! Our group highly recommends this place!!

What a beautiful beachfront home! Large living area, fully equipped kitchen, nice pool  with shallow end perfect for little kids. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets, relaxing waves, and sounds of wildlife (birds and monkeys) in the morning. House was very secure. On-site help available when needed. Great place to spend a couple of days at the beach with large families or large group of friends. Very affordable. Thank you, Priscila!

beach, pool and ocean - what more do you need

This home is in a perfect location, right in front of a very relaxing beach with the most beautiful sunsets. Spacious back yard with a pool and access to restaurants, bars, souvenir shopping and even massages on the beach. Easy access to different excursions such as fishing and snorkeling. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing getaway.

Great rental - very impressed with how quickly the owner responded to my  questions  and had a person on site to help book excursions or answer on questions.

Priscila’s place was perfect! We loved the location, and it was the perfect amount of space for our group of 10. Cholo was a fantastic resource and part of our group enjoyed doing a fishing excursion with him. We even had the chance to go meet some of his family and have breakfast in his daughters home. We will definitely be coming back here in the future! Our little grandson is already asking about going back to “his pool”. ☺️

Our family had a great time at this house right on the beautiful Playa Hermosa beach! The house was very clean with plenty of common space. Priscila was very communicative and easy to talk to. We hope to visit again!

It’s a great place with very convenient location I recommend it and I will love to be there again

Excelente lugar, la ubicacion inmejorable.

The house has an excellent location, very safe, well equipped. Clean and in an excellent location. Priscila is an excellent host, I recommend it and we'll be back for sure.

La casa tiene una excelente ubicación, muy segura, bien equipada. Limpia y con una excelente ubicación. Priscila es una excelente anfitriona, lo recomiendo y de seguro volveremos.

Well, what can I say. It’s on the water. Beach was beautiful and you can even see the perfect sunset while in the pool. We all had a great time.

Wonderful place and location! Great Host and we recommend it to anyone traveling in its own bubble, with pool and oceanfront nothing else matters!

We had a great time, the house was perfectly located, easy to get to, very clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the ocean.

Highly recommended place, with all the amenities to have a great time as a family.

Lugar ampliamente recomendado, con todos los servicios para pasarla muy bien en familia.
