Stunning Ocean & Jungle Views · Modern Beach Villa - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We had a great stay at Marci’s place. She was super responsive and very flexible. The Villa was as described and there was a shuttle every few minutes to and fro from the beach. The beach is nice and clean, she also had beach towels and some other beach related stuff in the property. Highly recommend her property for great stay.

This place was great. Beautiful views from the balcony. Well stocked kitchen. Very clean and a nice location.

The location within the Villa Sol resort was a huge advantage, allowing us to enjoy the resort amenities and the beach too. Only 30 minutes from the Liberia airport made it super easy for our flights out. We had a great time!

We had an excellent stay while visiting Costa Rica! The villa was beautiful, clean and perfect for our family. The views were spectacular! Marci was very responsive with any questions or concerns we had regarding anything about the property. We loved the area, beach was beautiful, and would definitely love come back!

Wonderful Villa in a nice little resort. Beautiful views of sunset every night, modern home with great AC & beds. Lots of space for the entire family to relax and enjoy the area.

Our home away from home was exactly what we were expecting. We were in a centralized location meant to the pools, restaurants were a short walk once you walked down the nearby stairs. The villa shuttles were great to get to the beach and back. Inside there is almost everything one could need for cooking. The whole house was spotless. We loved having 2 balcony choices! And having laundry on site was so helpful, if only for drying towels and bathing suites. There was a bird book and a few other books that we enjoyed flipping through to learn more about where we were staying, it’s little touches like this that we appreciated. The resort itself is dated and small. But that was ok for us! We got to know the staff throughout the villa. We chose to go with all inclusive and it was worth it just for the drinks alone! And not having to cook. The local restaurants were walkable and the food was great. Overall, we would definitely come back and hopefully stay longer.

Thank you for the nice review. 😊We are so happy you enjoyed your stay!

Absolutely loved our stay at the Villa. We were there for a week and everything from start to finish was incredible. Having coffee every morning and taking in the view from the second story balcony was my family’s favorite way to start our day. It’s close to the beach and pools and fit our family of 7 well. There was a mishap with a water leak from the sink and Marci took care of it immediately and was very responsive and kind. Would highly recommend this Villa to everyone and will plan to come back again!

We loved our time at Marci’s! The views were incredible and felt like the best of both worlds to be in a resort setting but in a great condo.

Thank you Ashley, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. :)

Right when you walk into the house you get a breathtakingly beautiful view of the ocean. I loved having 3 patios to watch the sunset and monkeys in the trees. The house has a clean, cool, open feel to it, which was so nice to come back to after being out at the beach or excursions for the day. The house is well stocked and very thought out, we had everything we needed, nice new towels, a cooler, beach chairs to take to the beach, however, there are lounge chairs at the beach entrance also so you don’t need to haul them if you don’t want to. There was plenty of space for our family of 6 and the teenagers loved that there was a bedroom with two queen beds and its own bathroom on the main floor. It has a lock with a door code but you can also leave the door open and it’s part of the house. It doesn’t go to the outside like other reviewers have said, maybe they changed it, it is just off the entry when you walk in the main door. The resort was nice and staff were so friendly. Loved it.

The villa and its location were wonderful and worked perfectly for us. It had everything we needed. However, the property is not being properly maintained. There were a few important issues that affected our stay: swarms of tiny ants in the bathroom, a noticeable musty smell, and towels that were so overused and worn they had turned gray instead of their original white. With better upkeep, this could be an exceptional place.

Hi Joe, I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. We promptly updated the towels and linen after we read your suggestion and make a note to do so every year after the busy season. We want to make sure our guests are well taken care of when they stay with us. Best Wishes, Marci

I’m going to be 100% honest. Marci was very easy to communicate with the check-in was very simple. The condo itself was very nice. The only issue was the lock off was not connected to the actual condo you had to go outside and in another door unfortunately we couldn’t use the room as a family of five I couldn’t let my three little kids stay there overnight, not being connected to our actual condo so we had to use the blowup mattress. There was an issue with tiny little ants in the bathroom. They infested our travel cases. I was told concierge was going to meet us at the condo. We never saw them once. The resort itself was atrocious. Extremely rundown. From the pool that contained the swim up bar, we couldn’t even go in it. It was absolutely disgusting sludge running out of the drains. You couldn’t even see the bottom of the pool. The ocean water was beautiful but when you arrived at the beach, they had 8 beat up lawn chairs to use chained down with a cement tire on the wood line.

Thank you for the feedback. I’m truly sorry you were disappointed. We strive to provide excellent service for all of our guests. I will communicate with the resort management about the pools. The resort has been around for a while but they typically take good care of the grounds/pools and provide good service to our guests. We have also combining the two rooms so that there is more flexibility in the use of space at the villa. Best Wishes, Marci

The villa was amazing. What surprised us most was the resort and amenities. And we loved being able to walk to the restaurants off the beach in Playa Hermosa. Everyone was so welcoming, hospitable, and friendly! We saw iguanas, monkeys, and a lot of birds off our terraces. I think my favorite thing was the daily coffee and sunsets from the upper terrace. Spectacular! We highly recommend Marci’s place.

It was a perfect stay in a beautiful part of the world. Loved the sunsets on the patios and enjoyed the beaches and restaurants nearby. We will definitely be back!

Wow, even better than expected! The view itself is worth a million! Great restaurants nearby. The on-site staff at Villas Sol are very helpful and friendly. The beach is beautiful and quiet.  The shuttle service to and from the beach was greatly appreciated! We felt safe with our children throughout the entirety of the stay. Don't hesitate to book! We will definitely be back!

Wow, encore mieux qu’espéré! La vue en soi vaut un million! Très bons restos à proximité. Le staff sur place des Villas Sol est très serviable et friendly. La plage est magnifique et tranquille.  Le service des navettes pour aller et revenir de la plage fut grandement apprécié! Nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité avec nos enfants tout au long du séjour. N’ayez aucune hésitation à réserver! Nous reviendrons assurément!

Great location and amenities. The condo is beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel has a shuttle to help with getting around the property and to the beach.

Marci’s home has a spectacular view and is a plenty of space (3 balconies!), and the air conditioning in the rooms made sleep super comfortable. There were plenty of pillows, blankets and comfortable beds. Kitchen is well stocked. The resort itself (Villas Sol) is scenic and staff are friendly, but its steep location requires reliance on their intra-resort transportation service which was quite unreliable during our visit (and challenging when an overheated 3yo is in tow!) Overall 5 stars for Marci’s place in and of itself!

Very happy with our stay!  The pictures accurately reflected the villa.  The space was clean and had everything we needed.  It was nice to have the option to have meals in the villa, eat out in Playa Hermosa, or pay by the day to access the all-inclusive (we did all 3 over our week stay).  The resort is located on a pretty steep hill which makes for beautiful views but can be hard to walk, especially if you have mobility issues.  There are shuttles that run between 6am-10pm.  Having access to the beach and the pool was wonderful.  Sitting on the balcony to watch the sunsets was a treat.  Beds were comfortable.  Having an access code for the door instead of a physical key to carry was great.  Host was very responsive and provided heaps of helpful information and recommendations about the area. Thank you!

This home was outstandingly beautiful with amazing views and equipped with amenities. I absolutely loved this home and it's worth booking another trip . Thank you for a great stay in celebration of my friend birthday .

Thank you so much! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. 😊

Beautiful location lots of birds, howler monkeys. Steep terrain if you have mobility issues but otherwise great area to walk or quickly hop on shuttles. Right near staircases and path to pools one in center of grounds and one at the hotel both 5 min walk. House was perfect with central AC and AC in each bedroom. Gorgeous decks. Clean and functional kitchen with some spices and salt and pepper available. Has nice electric grill to use on the deck.

We had a lovely stay at Marci’s! The unit was perfect for my family of 5, with a 10 year old and my parents. Easy to get around the resort by shuttle and walking, breakfast buffet was great, and the local tourism and restaurants made the trip complete.

Had a great stay- the villa was spotless. Marci was great to work with. Very responsive.

Thank you for your review. We enjoyed hosting you.

This will be a review of both Marci/her unit and the actual resort. First of, Marci and her team were great. They were helpful, responsive, and accommodating. We were able to get an early check in and had great local recommendations. Second, the unit itself was very nice and clean. The views from the unit are spectacular. The unit has a kitchen and a bathroom and air conditioning. It has the basic amenities (no dishwasher). If you get the 2nd part of the unit, it fits two families (8 people) quite nicely. Now, the resort itself. I'm what you would call an average traveler. I don't stay in hostels and I don't stay in Ritz Carltons of the world. However, if you've ever stayed at a decent all-inclusive property in Mexico, it would be nicer than this resort. I would give this resort a 2.5-3 stars at most. The staff is great and tries really hard to make sure all runs well, but the resort is just old. It has 1 bar, 1 restaurant (not very good), and a very old and ugly pool. So decide.

the view was amazing!  the best way to start of each day.

Wow, this Villa was amazing! We only had 3 people staying here during my visit, so we each had our own room. The setup is a bit unusual in a good way. One room has separate access to the outdoors and includes a bedroom with 2 beds, a bathroom, and a private balcony. We didn't capitalize on this too much, but it would be super nice if you have 2+ groups or families staying that want to do different activities without waking each other up. The views are fantastic especially at sunset. This is why we chose this space, and it did not disappoint!! There is also soooo much to do on the resort with their daily schedule of activities and nearby through different excursion companies. We rented a car and went to the Coffee and Chocolate tour at Tio Leo's. It was the best tour I've ever been on. I highly recommend it if you enjoy learning and tours. Read the reviews, but Tio Leo teaches you about coffee, chocolate, sugar cane, and native plants. We also went zip lining and saw monkeys!

Thank you for staying with us. We enjoyed hosting you.

We enjoyed this unit very much. You have access to 2 pools, a buffet-style restaurant, and a shuttle to the beach (beach is waking distance. ) Loved the beach: the sand is a darker golden color and simply beautiful, very swimmable. There are restaurants walkable from the beach, and there is a large town approx. 5 miles away. One of the bedrooms is totally separate from the main unit and has its own bathroom and TV. The other two bedrooms are upstairs and share a bathroom. We had 2 issues that were resolved quickly. First one was the AC unit in one bedroom was not working when we arrived, not a big issue because the main AC and two other bedroom ACs were working. We arrived Saturday night: it was fixed Monday afternoon. 2nd issue was noise from a neighbor, which was resolved very quickly - 30 minutes from contacting host. Check-in at the complex office was fast and easy. Would recommend staying here. Fun and functional! Lots of great tours you can take from this location.

GORGEOUS view. Safe and private. Marci was super responsive. Great stay!

Great villa and location. Marci and Ian were also super helpful.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay! ☺️

We had a wonderful stay.  Everything was exactly how it was described.   Highly recommend! Views are breathtaking.

The place is perfect for vacations and the view is amazing.

Beautiful view. Shuttle option or walkable to the beach. Walking to the pool was close but lots of stairs. Activities at the pool were fun. We played Bingo, Giant connect Four, dance lessons and we paddle boarded at the beach. The teenagers enjoyed  being able to go to the beach and swim. The water is calm. We ate at Roberto’s and Marisco. I’d say Roberto’s is better for lunch. We loved Mariscos fish and it’s the first restaurant on the beach where shuttle drops you.  We had some issues with a drippy AC in one of the bedrooms but owner was very responsive. Washer and dryer was great! My only recommendation is it would be nice to have salt and pepper shakers.

Thank you for the kind review and the recommendation to keep salt/pepper in the villa. I’ll definitely do that. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay! 🏝️

Marci’s place is spotless! We loved the space. It was perfect for a family of 6. The kitchen was fully stocked. The laundry was super convenient.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Marci's home with a group of six friends, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable; every room was spotless and well-maintained, making us feel right at home. The host's level of communication was outstanding, providing us with all the information we needed and promptly responding to any questions we had. The surrounding area was absolutely beautiful, offering breathtaking views that we enjoyed every day. The stunning decor added to the charm of the place, making it both stylish and cozy. Comfort was never an issue, as the accommodations were designed with relaxation in mind. One minor area for improvement would be the water pressure, which could be better, but it did not significantly detract from our overall enjoyment. This Airbnb truly exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return for another unforgettable stay. Five stars all the way!

Thank you so much for the excellent review! 🙏

We had a great stay! Very calm and quiet area, perfect for relaxing.

Thank you so much for the 5 star review. We really appreciate it. 🙏

we love it, Marci is an excellent host and we would return to her apartment a thousand times without hesitation, we are happy and very grateful

nos encanto, marci es excelente anfitriona y volveríamos mil veces a su apartamento sin dudarlo, nos vamos felices y muy agradecidos

Super nice the very clean villa had everything you needed and in each consultation I could count on the host helping me and answering every query I made, super equipped had everything you need to spend quiet and enjoy the place!

Súper bonita la villa muy aseada tenía todo lo que se necesitaba y en cada consulta podía contar con el anfitrión ayudándome y respondiendo cada consulta que le hacía, súper equipada contaba con todo lo que necesita uno para pasar tranquilo y disfrutar del lugar!

We were extremely pleased, the place was super nice.

Quedamos sumamente complacidos, el lugar super agradable.

¡Gracias! Estamos muy contentos de que haya disfrutado de su estancia.
