6BR luxury villa in Herradura

Oceanview Luxury Villa above Los Sueños Resort. - Houses for Rent in Herradura, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

The home was just simply beautiful. The view is breathtaking. I he host was very friendly and nice… I highly recommend the home to families hat need space and rest because the house is all what we expected.

We love everything about this spot! You honestly can’t beat the view!

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Giulli was an incredible host from start to finish, and every recommendation she gave us was spot on. The private chef was one of the highlights of our trip, the transportation was seamless, the excursions were fantastic, and having the golf cart she recommended was a lifesaver with all the steep hills around the property. The home itself is absolutely beautiful and somehow even better than the pictures. It was spotless, well appointed, and had everything we needed for an amazing family vacation. We spent so much time enjoying the pool and the incredible views. If you're thinking about booking this home, don't hesitate. Also, do yourself a favor and book the chef for at least one or two nights. It ended up being one of our favorite parts of the entire trip. We made memories we'll never forget and are already talking about when we can come back. Thank you, Giulli, for making our Costa Rica vacation so special!

Absolutely stunning villa! The property was even more beautiful in person and was the perfect place for our group to stay in Costa Rica. The views were incredible, the villa was clean and spacious, and every detail made our stay feel luxurious and comfortable. The hosts were wonderful and made everything seamless from start to finish. Also host had great recommendations for private transportation and private chef! This villa truly made our trip unforgettable, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

All in all we enjoyed our stay and would return. However, the house needs a good cleaning and some TLC. The common area needs to be painted and several things repaired, including ceiling fans, ice machine, broken umbrella by the pool and peeling cabinets. Be advised there are no useable closets in the bedrooms. Photos are obviously from a few years ago and the wear and tear of the home now is not visible. With just a little work this could easily be a 5 star place. Host was very responsive and the recommendations she provided for in home chefs and transport were both excellent.

We had a fantastic stay! Giulli was a great, responsive host and Carlitos, the house manager, was incredible. The house is beautiful and well-appointed, and matches the pictures and descriptions perfectly. All in all, we had a wonderful experience and we'd be excited to book a return visit in the future!

Beautiful place with amazing view of the ocean from the pool!

Very nice and comfortable house for large groups. They helped us quickly whenever we had an issue.

Casa muy bella y cómoda para grupos grandes. Nos solucionaron rápidamente cuando tuvimos algún tema.

The place, Giulli, and Donal were amazing. Two small issues during our stay, but Giulli and Donal were very responsive to both.

Giulli is an exceptional host — responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your stay seamless from start to finish. We vacationed here as a family of four, and the home exceeded our expectations in every way. The views are absolutely spectacular — truly the kind that take your breath away each evening at sunset. The living spaces are beautifully designed and incredibly comfortable, and the pool area quickly became our favorite gathering spot. Watching vibrant macaws fly by right from the pool deck was such a magical, unforgettable experience for our family. For future guests, I highly recommend renting a golf cart to explore the area with ease and scheduling in-home massages to fully embrace the relaxation this property offers. This was a memorable and amazing stay — highly recommend.

Giulli was a great host and very responsive. Donal was there daily  and was amazing also! house was great. would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

The home greatly exceeded our expectations and the pictures don’t it justice…The sunset view over the pool and ocean was simply breathtaking! Giulli was outstanding to work with! He was incredibly responsive and gave us great recommendations for an in house caterer and massage service. I would recommend renting a golf cart and they will deliver to the house. It made getting to the marina a breeze. This is a 5 star property and we will be returning next year.

Wow, what a beautiful view. The house was amazing. Things to note: you can’t charge more than two golf carts at a time without tripping breaker. The golf carts barely make it up the mountain (died on us a few times). The house is amazing! It does not have any air conditioning in the main area since it’s all open so it can get super toasty in there. Donald was the house keeping guy, he comes everyday from like 8-10 ish and cleans the pool and takes trash and such. Super friendly and helpful. Overall the view trumps anything negative but our only cons were the heat and golf cart accessibility!

We had 11 adults, one child attending a family wedding at Los Suenos. With 6 bedrooms there was plenty of space. We had some difficulty initially finding the house as the security guards were very confused and told us the house didn’t exist. They were very wrong! The house was beautiful with the most amazing view. Giulli was very responsive! WiFi could use improvement/booster. Donal and Hazel were the housekeepers/handyman and did a great job. The beach at Faro is private and awesome! So calm. There was some confusion…the beach club (community pools) by the beach are not for this house. There is beach access next to it though. We have our own community pools up on the hill in our neighborhood but I didn’t realize this. We used our own private pool at the house anyways. I loved the house, we used rental SUVs and a golf cart to get around. I look forward to going back!

This place is amazing with its modern interiors wirh great outdoor space and amazing views. The host suggested chef and they were really amazing, I strongly recommend the host suggested chef. They made our dinners not onky wmaxing but also very cost effective

The house was amazing! Even better than the pictures. Cannot say enough good things about the house, the patio & pool area! The rooms, kitchen, bathrooms were all extremely clean & well decorated. The views were priceless! Would highly recommend booking this place when going to CR. The drive up the mountain is steep & winding but after doing in 2-3 times it’s not bad at all! Definitely would book this place again.

I’ll start by saying Giulli was wonderful to work with! Her handyman, Donal was amazing! House is beautiful and has perfect views! Pool was our favorite hangout place. Donal came every morning to clean pool, set up the lounge areas, take the trash out, clean the grill and much more! The pool area has so many lounge areas in the sun and shade! House is nice and spacious and has room for everyone! Bedrooms are only thing that have AC- the nice breeze through the house was perfect! 2 of the bedrooms have pocket doors. Resort was beautiful and taken care of! We rented golf carts for the week and used them to get up and down the mountain all week! We went grocery shopping and to dinner outside the resort with them! The carport was perfect for them and had 2 outlets to charge them! The drive to the bottom to get to the marina was about 15/20 minutes. We spotted all kinds of wildlife at the house and the resort! The kitchen had plently of cookware and dishes.

Great place, great host, highly recommended

The place is just as it appears in the photos. Very well equipped, you feel like it's your home. Highly recommended to rest and spend a few days with family or friends. The nearby beach area is not good, it is not worth it. The house and its views are great, the pool is amazing. I would definitely be back !

El lugar es tal cual se ve en las fotos. Muy bien equipado, te sientes como si fuera tu casa. Super recomendable para descansar y pasar unos días en familia o amigos. El sector de la playa cercana no es bueno, no vale la pena. La casa y sus vistas son geniales, la piscina es increíble. Sin dudas volvería !

I celebrated my birthday with 7 of my closest friends. We had such an amazing time at this property. Giulli and her handyman were very responsive. The home was beautiful. We hired a car service for the week. He picked us up for dinners and excursion. We also rented two 4 seater golf carts to head down to the marina. There were parts of the road that the carts were slow but we still managed to get to and from the property easily.  We all would come back for another week.

First the views are stunning! The house is beautiful and has everything you need. Washer, dryer, dishwasher, air conditioner rooms. Spacious. It was nice. We did have a nice time but some important things to know before hand. I have to say the host, Guilli, was AMAZING. She was always there to help us navigate. The negative things we experienced was transportation was difficult because uber won’t hold more then 4 people. No restaurants will deliver to this location. 6 seater golf carts can’t be used up here because of the hills, only four seaters. Makes it tricky with kids. Golf carts were $70 a day and can only stay in the “resort” of Los suenos. Transportation in general was very costly if you use a large van or shuttle. Our trip consisted of 5 adults and 8 children. We originally had cars rented but discovered car rentals force you to purchase insurance. It double the price to rent the car. We’ve traveled to many countries and found Costa Rica to be the most expensive.

We had a party of 7 adults and there was plenty of roomn for eceryine to be comfortable, even with 2 empty bedrooms not needed.  The pool, the views, the Pacific Ocean and beds were all perfect.  we would go back next time in Los Suenos!

Giulli was a wonderful host and this house was amazing. The views were incredible! We will be coming back for another trip in the future.

Loved everything about this place.  It was private, close to the Marina and grocery store.  The views were amazing!!  We rented golf carts with HRG, which gave us that local feel going to and from the house to the resort.  Guilli was quick to respond and check and out was seamless.  We will be back for sure!

giulli is an amazing host and the home was everything and more! the views were stunning we can’t wait to come back!!

Incredible view and outdoor living space!

Guilli could not have been any better of a host. The communication was consistent & timely. The recommendations provided were all excellent. Absolutely loved the home & the beautiful view. 10/10 would recommend this property & Guilli as the host!

Our stay was amazing! The house was ideal for our large group, and we were treated to visits from macaws in the mornings. Watching the sunset from the pool was a highlight. The hosts were prompt and helpful whenever we had questions. Overall, an excellent experience!

We loved this house, BEAUTIFUL house & View!

This house is amazing! Traveled with 3 families and we had plenty of room. The pictures don’t do the view justice-it is even more breathtaking in person. Giulliana was extremely helpful and responsive before, during and after! There weren’t many reviews so I was nervous but it was perfect and I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Super safe!

It was a beautiful place and very safe/exclusive location. The views from the bedrooms were exquisite. The pool area was beautiful and very accommodating. The ONLY draw back was there was no jacuzzi and the water was quite cold. Otherwise the most perfect home. Has a beautiful interior and exterior. The host was extremely helpful and always available. The maintenance guy Donald was so kind and helpful. We forgot to leave a tip but hopefully we can send something later. Definitely recommending to friends and family

We loved the house, super clean, an excellent view. The host Giuli was very friendly and always attentive

Nos encantó la casa, súper limpia, una vista excelente. La anfitriona Giuli muy amable y siempre estuvo atenta

Giuliana was top notch host, helped a ton. Pay attention to the instructions of how to get there but the rest is amazing!
