Casa Harmony ON THE BEACH - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Maud is a wonderful and thoughtful host. From the moment we booked, she was warm, responsive, and quick to answer any questions. Her home is peaceful and welcoming, with a wonderful sense of tranquility throughout. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with a wider array of cooking essentials than we typically find in vacation rentals. One of our favorite features was the beautiful private pool. We’ve stayed at homes where the pools were too cold to enjoy, but Maud’s was the perfect temperature—a lovely place to relax and unwind. The nearby beach is striking, with soft volcanic black sand and powerful waves creating a beautifully dramatic setting. Maud thoughtfully shared important beach safety information about the strong rip tides and crocodiles farther down the beach, which we truly appreciated. One evening, we returned to the sweetest happy birthday note waiting for us—a thoughtful touch that made our stay even more special. We would happily return! 💜

Thank you 2 for staying at my house! It was a pleasure to have you here! Welcome back anytime 🩵🩵🩵

Maud is responsive, attentive and helpful Always looking out for the well-being of the guests. If I had to rate it, a 20 out of 10 Thank you

Everything was great with Tatiana's group. Very nice, pleasant and respectful people. Good communication. They left the house clean. It was a real pleasure to welcome them to the house, and I recommend them to all other hosts 🤗

We loved staying here. The place exceeded our expectations: very clean, excellently equipped and with a super quiet atmosphere. Everything was organized down to the last detail to ensure a perfect stay, and communication with the host was unbeatable. A five-star experience that we hope to repeat soon!

Nos encantó hospedarnos aquí. El lugar superó nuestras expectativas: muy limpio, excelentemente equipado y con un ambiente súper tranquilo.

Maud's house in Playa Hermosa, Garabito, is a really beautiful place. It is located a few meters from the sea, in a privileged setting next to the Playa Hermosa-Punta Mala National Wildlife Refuge. The property is fully equipped and offers all the comforts for a comfortable stay. In our case, eight of us from the family traveled, and we all had a very pleasant experience. The pool was a great added value, especially for sharing with the family and for the kids to have fun. Maud was an excellent host: she was always attentive to our queries and quickly addressed any needs. In addition, the check-in instructions were very clear, so the check-in process was simple and hassle-free. It's definitely a place we'd recommend and would gladly go back to when we have the chance.

La casa de Maud en Playa Hermosa, Garabito, es un lugar realmente hermoso. Está ubicada a pocos metros del mar, en un entorno privilegiado junto a la Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Playa Hermosa-Punta Mala. La propiedad está completamente equipada y ofrece todas las comodidades para una estancia confortable. En nuestro caso viajamos ocho personas de la familia y todas disfrutamos de una experiencia muy agradable. La piscina fue un gran valor agregado, especialmente para compartir en familia y para que los niños se divirtieran. Maud fue una excelente anfitriona: siempre estuvo atenta a nuestras consultas y resolvió cualquier necesidad con rapidez. Además, las instrucciones para el ingreso fueron muy claras, por lo que el proceso de check-in resultó sencillo y sin inconvenientes. Sin duda es un lugar que recomendaríamos y al que regresaríamos con mucho gusto cuando tengamos la oportunidad.

Great place to stay in Hermosa. Located in a small gated community right across the street from the beach. Easy access to great restaurants and not far from the main highway if you are traveling through. Rooms were comfortable and the backyard area was great. Maud was very nice and informative. Definitely recommend!

absolutely amazing stay . the property is gorgeous and so close to the beautiful beach . would recommend . host was very kind  and helpful .

A beautiful house with all the comforts to enjoy a few days with the family. In a safe, private condominium close to the beach. We had everything we needed in the house. The host is very friendly, kind, and always attentive to our needs. We really enjoyed the pool. The best thing is that it's pet-friendly 10/10 100% recommended.

Una casa preciosa con todas las comodidades para disfrutar de unos días en familia. En un condominio seguro, privado y cerca de la playa. Tuvimos todo lo que te necesitábamos en la casa. La anfitriona es muy cordial, amable y siempre atenta a nuestra necesidades. Disfrutamos mucho en la piscina. De lo mejor es que acepta mascotas 10/10 100% recomendado.

Thank you, Suzana, for staying at my place 🩵 I hope to see you again soon 🙏

This is the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in, Maud had thought of everything you might want for your stay down to filtered water and beach chairs. She was super helpful without it feeling intrusive, communication was great and the place is beautiful.

Maud’s place was perfect for my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens). It was a relief to spread out a bit after being cramped together in hotel rooms in San Jose and Manuel Antonio. The pool is amazing and seeing/hearing macaws in the trees behind her property was a special treat. The beach is a block away and Pizza Pata is quite possibly the best pizza in all of Costa Rica!! Maud also recommended we visit Rainmaker and the tide pools at Esterillos Oeste which were spot-on excursions for us.

Beautiful place right on the beach, great

Schöne unterkunft direkt am Strand, super

This place is awesome. Few steps from the beach has a pool and plenty of room for the family. We had a wonderful time and the host is amazing. We were recommended amazing restaurants and felt right at home. We hope to visit again. Thank you!

Great place to stay for privacy, close to the beach and easy to get to the night life in Jacó

Everything was amazing, Maud made it very easy easy to  check in and out, house was spotless, spacious wished we had stayed longer here, next time! 
Thank you so much for sharing your house with us.

Maud’s place was beautiful and peaceful.  She was very responsive and every recommendation she gave us was always perfect.  Her local knowledge of beaches, restaurants, and activities gave us a wonderful experience.  I would recommend this place to anyone!

This is the second time that our family has stayed in this house, the host's service is excellent and always looking for our comfort. The place is in a unique spot. We will definitely be back again.

Es la segunda ocasión en que en familia nos  hospedamos en esta casa, el trato de la anfitriona es excelente y siempre buscando la comodidad de nosotros. El lugar esta en un punto único. Sin duda volveremos nuevamente.

Beautiful house, great location and privacy. Maud was always attentive and friendly, she responded almost immediately. We hope to return soon

Casa hermosa, ubicación excelente y privacidad. Maud siempre atenta y amable, respondía casi que de inmediato. Esperamos volver pronto

We enjoyed our overnight stay here. The rooms are clean and spacious and we have relaxed in the pool. The apartment is located near the beach where many local people were surfing, very nice! Maud is very friendly and helpful, we would definitely recommend this place!

We hebben heerlijk genoten van onze overnachting hier. De kamers zijn schoon en ruim en we hebben lekker in het zwembad gerelaxt. Het appartement ligt bij het strand waar veel locale mensen aan het surfen waren, erg leuk! Maud is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam, wij zouden deze plek zeker aanbevelen!

Beautiful place for many people. Each bedroom has a separate bathroom with a shower, and each bedroom has separate exit to the pool. Just a few steps away from the beach. Perfect place! We loved it!

Super good experience, traveling with dogs and older adults, quite positive attention, close to the sea and tranquility with excellent birdwatching from the pool, great!

Super buena experiencia, viaje con Perritos y Adultos Mayores, bastante atención positiva, cercanía al mar y tranquilidad con excelente birdwatching desde la piscina, buenísimo!

It is a spacious, very comfortable house, very well-conditioned exteriors. It's a house I would definitely go back to. Communication with Maud was excellent from start to finish.

Es una casa amplia, muy cómoda, exteriores muy bien acondicionados. Es una casa a la que sin dudar volvería. La comunicación con Maud fue excelente de principio a fin.

We had a wonderful time! Maud was so gracious and accommodating

Maud was extremely responsive and helpful. She accommodated us with everything we needed. Her place was extremely clean and well located, right across from the beach.

This home was spacious and very comfortable.  With a private pool and a private back yard, we sat with our coffee and watched the bird show.  Parrots, hummingbirds, owls, even an iguana hung out on the fence.  The kitchen was well stocked with a full sized refrigerator.  A bathroom in each bedroom with an extra bathroom in the hallway was nice.  We had one issue with low water pressure in the kitchen sink, Maud was on it and was fixed within 30 minutes.  A very short walk to the beach to watch the sunset.  Maud gave us a list, letting us know where the grocery and liquor stores were at.  She had everything provided to make our stay very easy and relaxing.

Thank you Rebecca 🙏 it was a pleasure to have you stay at the house. Welcome back any time !!

All good. Just take care of the chlorine in the pool as all the clothes were stained.

Todo bien. Únicamente cuidar el cloro de la piscina ya que toda la ropa quedó manchada.

Excellent host, she helped us and solved everything at all times. He showed empathy and kindness. It's a beautiful house with all the amenities, clean and close to the beach. Excellent location. 100% recommended

Excelente anfitriona , nos ayudó y resolvió en todo momento. Mostró empatía y amabilidad. Es una casa hermosa con todas las comodidades, limpia y cercana a la playa. Excelente ubicación. 100 % recomendada

Our stay at this beautiful beachfront property was absolutely incredible. The house is spotless, private, and peaceful, the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves. Everything is exactly as described, if not better. What made the experience truly special was the host. She went above and beyond in every possible way, always available, kind, and genuinely caring. Her communication was excellent from the start, and she helped us with everything we needed, from local recommendations to small details that made our stay much easier. You can really tell she puts her heart into making guests feel at home. The location couldn’t be better, right in front of the beach, with stunning sunsets and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful, clean, and perfectly managed home by the ocean.

The location and proximity to the beach was great. We had coffee in the morning every day we were there. The place was immaculate and so cozy. Very family friendly! Maud was so nice and accommodating, showing us where everything was when we checked in. It really is such a small world when we found out how much we had in common!

The house is beautiful and super comfortable, the location is perfect because it is super close to the beach and other places.

La casa es hermosa y súper cómoda, la ubicación está perfecta porque es súper cerca de la playa y otros lugares.

The house was wonderful, and very well equipped. Maud was very responsive and helpful throughout!

Maud was very friendly, responded super fast and was always willing to help! The place is spacious, private, very nice and clean. At 11:00 am, check-out time, whether you're ready or not, the cleaning people enter the house. The pool made us itch and discolored the clothes we were wearing.

Maud fue muy amable, respondía super rápido y siempre dispuesta a ayudar! el lugar es amplio, privado, muy bonito y limpio. A las 11am, hora del check out, estés o no listo, entran las personas de limpieza a la casa. La piscina nos dio picazón y decoloró la ropa que llevábamos.

Great place to stay… within walking distance of the beach. Very relaxing.

Great first welcome  to Costa Rica! For our family. So glad we chose this over an airport hotel upon arrival, as we needed a well located place to stay before continuing on to a resort near Manuel Antonio the next day. Perfect communication from Maud, and an easy arrival with Victor expecting us at the community’s front gate. We arrived just in to take a 30 second walk to the beach for sunset. The bedrooms and bathrooms were pristine. We were able to enjoy beautiful natural surroundings at the pool in the morning, seeing hummingbirds and macaws.  The well-equipped kitchen, great coffee, and the ability to do laundry made this stay so much easier than a hotel for us. We would definitely stay here again, and for longer, if we are lucky enough to return.

We had an amazing stay at Maud’s place! We went as three families and brought three dogs, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The dogs were even allowed in the pool, which made the experience extra fun for all of us. Everything was spotless—super clean when we arrived, and the pool was cleaned regularly during our stay. The house had everything we could possibly need, down to the smallest detail—from salt in the kitchen to beach chairs and more. Each room had its own bathroom, which was great for privacy. Maud was incredibly responsive, responsible, and flexible. She was always available when we needed anything and made sure we felt right at home. We honestly enjoyed the house so much that we barely went out! Just a couple of walks to the beach with the dogs, but the rest of the time we were happy staying in, cooking, relaxing, and even doing a BBQ. We really have zero complaints—everything was perfect. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back. Thank you, Maud!

We liked the house very much, Maud's service was excellent. I would come back without thinking.

Nos gustó mucho la casa, la atención de Maud excelente. Volvería sin pensarlo.

Everything was excellent, just like the photos, very quiet place, excellent host

Todo excelente, igual que las fotos, lugar muy tranquilo, excelente anfitriona

Absolutely loved Casa Armonia! It truly is on the beach. Maud was amazing with giving us recommendations - from airport transfers to private chefs, and even help us book an amazing all inclusive day trip to Tortuga Island. The home was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. I highly recommend booking a stay with Maud! If I am ever back in CR, I will be checking for her availability first. ☺️

Maud was amazing! Would come back just Because of her and how accommodating she was. I didn’t even ask and she sent over a list of local spots to see and restaurants to eat. All of which we tried and were spot on as far as what she had described for them. The place is beautiful, large and literally seconds away from the beach. Great for a big group of close friends. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend this place!! Oh and she has the cutest dog !

The place and the host were beyond words. We had an incredible time and the home is perfect! Thank you Maud for your hospitality.

Great location, a short walk from the beach.  Spacious bedrooms and living area. Maud is a very considerate and accommodating host.

The accommodation was amazing. Very clean, spacious, with a fairly large kitchen, a pool and a large terrace. Maud's house, on the other hand, has a very outstanding energy, every corner has a beautiful energy that makes you not want to leave it.

El alojamiento fué increíble. Muy limpio, espacioso, con un menaje bastante amplio, una piscina y terraza grande. La casa de Maud tiene por otro lado una energía muy sobresaliente, cada rincón tiene una bonita energía que no dan ganas de salir de ella.

We had an amazing stay at the home. Maud was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. Great local recommendations and even helped booked a reservation for my wife’s birthday dinner. We hired Chef Ezequiel to make lunch the first there. Delicious food and would highly recommend. 10/10 Stay and look forward to coming back soon! Book this

Excelente estadía, sin comentarios negativos.

This stay had absolutely everything we wanted! A spacious gorgeous interior, beautiful pool and yard, steps from the beach and close drive to Jaco. Everything was so comfortable, and the kitchen is very well-stocked, even spices! Maud was the perfect host. She was on top of every need or issue immediately (unexpected power outage in the town) and arranged solutions quickly.

The experience at Maud's house was totally satisfying. The house is in excellent condition, the location is perfect, the pool is very comfortable. Also Maud allowed us to vacation with our dogs what made us feel even more at home. 100 of 100, we'll be back!

La experiencia en la casa de Maud fue totalmente satisfactoria. La casa está en excelente estado, la ubicación es perfecta, la piscina es muy cómoda. Además Maud nos permitió vacacionar con nuestros perritos lo que nos hizo sentirnos aún más en casa. 100 de 100, volveremos!

This home was absolutely perfect for our family. It had everything we needed (rooms for our kids, A/C, laundry, and plenty of space). The pool was perfect for moments we were home. The home is perfectly situated near Jaco beach (which our family frequented), and could be at playa Hermosa in a seconds. We loved our stay!

Maud has a wonderful Casa! I highly recommend it 👍

Perfect location steps from amazing beach. Quiet and safe/secure neighborhood. Maud was extremely helpful and very responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Casa Harmony is a beautiful, comfortable and tastefully designed home steps from the surf and amazing sunsets! Ideal spot for surfers and beach lovers. When away from the beach, we relaxed by the pool and enjoyed our meals in the well equipped kitchen. Maud was a pleasure to meet and always responsive and helpful with all of our needs. We will be back one day!

: Fantastic Beachside Getaway with Excellent Amenities and a Wonderful Host! I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful Airbnb, just a stone’s throw from the beach. The location is absolutely perfect, making it easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. The house itself is extremely well-equipped, with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay—from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy living spaces. Maud was welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing, beachside retreat!

Beautiful house! Perfect for our family trip! Maud was very responsive, transparent and flexible. The beach is walking distance from the house, the kitchen is well equipped and the pool area is very nice. I definitely recommend this place!

Maud’s place was amazing!! If I’m ever in Costa Rica again I will stay at her place. She was responsive, helpful, the place was beautiful and amazing. We needed her help with yoga recommendations and assisting my mom with some minor health issues she was experiencing and Maud had homemade remedies available to us. I could not have asked for a better stay and host! Thank you Maud!

Great location!!!! The beach is steps away from the house! We felt comfortable, the house is fully equipped and very nice! There is a construction behind the house, which due to the sound makes you wake up early. Maud is an excellent host!

Exc ubicación!!!! La playa está a pasos de la casa! Nos sentimos cómodos, la casa está full equipada y es muy bonita! Hay una construcción atrás de la casa, que por el sonido hace que uno se despierte temprano. Maud es exc anfitriona!

An unforgettable week in Maud's beautiful villa which matches the description in every way. 20 meters from the beach, it was perfect for seeing breathtaking sunsets every night! Maud was available for any questions and very accommodating. She had told us about work around the villa, which is very honest of her and in the end we were not very disturbed by the noises around I recommend it 100%.

Une semaine inoubliable dans la magnifique villa de Maud qui correspond en tout point à la description. À 20 mètres de la plage c’était parfait pour y voir tous les soirs des couchers de soleil à couper le souffle ! Maud était disponible pour toute question et très arrangeante. Elle nous avait fait part de travaux autour de la villa, ce qui est très honnête de sa part et au final nous n’avons pas été très dérangé par les bruits aux alentours Je recommande à 100%

It's unfair that the app takes so much money from Maud for hosting, she should receive 100% of what the app charges

Una injusticia que al app le reste a Maud tanta plata por el hospedaje, ella debería recibir el 100% de lo que cobra la app

We absolutely loved Maud’s place. Our family of 7 stayed here so we could be close to the city, but enjoy the peacefulness of the ocean. It was just steps away from the beach, with the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Miles of beach to walk on if you wanted to. Maud was so incredibly helpful during our stay. She was so quick to answer all my questions not just about the house, but the countless other questions I had about the area. She helped arrange horseback riding and an ATV adventure for our family, which were both amazing. Getting to her house was much easier than other homes we stayed at. This was such a wonderful place to stay. If you’re questioning it just do it!

Maud’s place was perfect for our two families. Maud was extremely responsive and helpful setting up the reservations and expectations.   The accommodations and house were perfect, well equipped and clean.  The pool was refreshing. The location was safe and the beach was beautiful.  Maud was very helpful with recommendations and we had a fantastic stay.  We would come back!   And the dogs and cats were an added bonus!

The trip was excellent, the location is perfect by the beach walking a few meters. The house is spotless, tidy and with all amenities. The host is always attentive to any queries. Highly recommended!

El viaje estuvo excelente, la ubicación es perfecta junto a la playa caminando escasos metros. La casa impecable, ordenada y con todas las comodidades. El anfitrión siempre atenta a cualquier consulta que hubiera. Super recomendado!

Maud's place was nothing short of amazing.  Very relaxing and peaceful.  The beach is just steps away, uncrowded and fantastic view of the sunset.  Maud was super-proactive and responsive.   My family felt right at home and I look forward to going back again!!!

An amazing little place- a few feet from a beautiful beach, a close drive to great restaurants, friendly people all around.

Maud was an AMAZING host, she is super attentive and always gave us the best treatment, and the wonderful place, really that the photos fell short, in front it was even more spectacular, we will definitely go again!

Maud fue una INCREÍBLE anfitriona, es súper atenta y siempre siempre nos dió el mejor trato, y el lugar maravilloso, de verdad que se quedaron cortas las fotos, de frente era aún más espectacular, sin duda volveremos a ir!

Maud and her home are great! She was wonderful throughout the booking process and during our stay. She was helpful and gave restaurant recommendations and ideas for things around the area. We enjoyed everything she recommended. The house is in a nice location-near Playa Hermosa and Jaco. Nice restaurants nearby. And a close walk to the beach! Her house was clean, spacious and pretty. Would stay here again! Thank you Maud!

We had an incredible weekend, the house is steps from the beach, it is super spacious and clean, the rooms with direct access to the pool with their own bathroom, make the experience for everyone better, the house is super equipped and Maud is super accessible and attentive, what you need that house has it: air conditioning, ventilation, natural light, pool, grill, beach supplies, in end is a 20/10. We loved it and hope to come back again soon!

Tuvimos un fin de semana increíble, la casa está a unos pasos de la playa, es súper espaciosa y limpia, las habitaciones con acceso directo a la piscina con su propio baño, hacen que la experiencia para todos sea mejor, la casa está súper equipada y Maud es súper accesible y atenta, lo que necesites esa casa lo tiene: aire acondicionado, ventilación, luz natural, piscina, parrilla, artículos para la playa, en fin es un 20/10. Nos encantó y esperamos volver pronto!

Hola Yasbeth! Gracias por el comentario 🙏🙏

Maud is a wonderful host. She got our family discounted reservations for surfing lessons, zip lining, and a waterfalls hike, and gave us great recommendations on other activities and places to eat. She was extremely helpful and responsive.

We had torrential rain the entire time we were there. The house is so spacious and lovely that we never felt crowded in . Just having the view of the beautiful grounds and pool was wonderful. Maud was exceptionally helpful in helping us order groceries and giving us advice for local services. Because of the weather the activities offered in the area were unavailable but she had games in the house and her beautiful dogs to keep us entertained. I would highly recommend staying at this lovely property. Maud is an excellent host and a joy to meet.

Thank you to all of you! I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with you!

One of the best airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in. Maud was so responsive and helpful. We loved the location and how it was extremely private yet just a short ride into town. Will definitely be back next time we’re in Costa Rica!!! 🇨🇷

Maud's house is very beautiful, cosy, with large, well-organised spaces. The garden and swimming pool are accessible from all rooms, which gives guests maximum independence. Maud is super kind and attentive, she provided useful tips for our stay and always responded quickly to our messages/requests. The location of the house within walking distance of Hermosa beach made the experience at her house even better. Quiet area. We highly recommend the experience!

Beautiful home and pool, large bedrooms and open space

Excellent attention from Maud super attentive and responds super fast, the space is very nice tidy, a lot of peace and tranquility, the children loved the pool. The beach is not beautiful but at least it is very close, for sure by the rainy season the sea water looks coffee and there are too many trunks and branches on the shore. If I would come back despite the beach.

Excelente atención por parte de Maud súper atenta y responde súper rápido, el espacio muy lindo ordenado mucha paz y tranquilidad, los niños amaron la piscina. La playa no es bonita pero al menos esta muy cerca, seguro por la época lluviosa el agua de mar se ve café y hay demasiados troncos y ramas en la orilla. Si volvería a pesar de la playa.

Perfect stay, exceptional host We stayed at this Airbnb with my family and the experience was great. From before our arrival, the host stayed in touch, giving us all the necessary information and making sure everything was ready for our arrival. During our stay, she remained attentive to any needs we might have. The place was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with all the amenities we might need. Everything was in perfect condition and we didn't have any issues. The location is ideal, with the beach just a few meters away. In addition, the private pool was a big plus. We enjoyed it every day, and it turned out to be the perfect complement to our stay. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to be able to return in the future. Thank you for everything!

Estancia perfecta, anfitriona excepcional Nos hospedamos en este Airbnb con mi familia y la experiencia fue excelente. Desde antes de nuestra llegada, la anfitriona se mantuvo en contacto, brindándonos toda la información necesaria y asegurándose de que todo estuviera listo para nuestra llegada. Durante nuestra estancia, continuó atenta a cualquier necesidad que pudiéramos tener. El lugar estaba impecablemente limpio y muy bien equipado con todas las amenidades que podríamos necesitar. Todo estaba en perfecto estado y no tuvimos ningún inconveniente. La ubicación es ideal, con la playa a solo unos cuantos metros. Además, la piscina privada fue un gran plus. Disfrutamos de ella cada día, y resultó ser el complemento perfecto para nuestra estancia. Recomiendo este lugar sin duda alguna y espero poder volver en el futuro. ¡Gracias por todo!

Gracias Rita! me alegra mucho que tuvieron una súper experiencia y mas que todo los 3 preciosos 😍 un placer conocerlos 🙏

The perfect place to explore the central Pacific Coast from. A homely, spaceous, clean and private house, provided by a warm and thoughtful host. Aid made us feel right at home  and set us on track for our stay. She set us up with a great surf school, advised on restaurants and activities.

My family of 6 had a wonderful stay! The house is beautiful and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We loved going to the beach, zip lining, and spent a day at Manuel Antonio. When we were home the kids loved the pool and backyard. There was construction happening while we were there but it truly didn’t bother us. Maud is a host extraordinaire and had ideas for us before we knew to ask. We felt like we had a private excursion coordinator. On top of all of it Maud is just a lovely person! We plan to be back as soon as we can!

Thank you Karina for this nice comment 🤗🙏🩵

Amazing facility. The pool is beautiful and accessible from each of the bedrooms. The main area and kitchen are open and layed out well. It definitely exceeded or expectations. The highlight though was our host. She meet us at check in and gave us a tour of the facility. She then gave us times of recommendations on local places to eat and things to do. These were all things that we did not find while researching or trip. Everything from the company for horseback riding to the local spot to watch a surf competition made or trip truly unique and exceptional. We would definitely book again and for more time.

Thank you for the great comment Nick 🤗 I’m glad you had a great time 😎

My family and I had a wonderful time at Maud's place! The house is beautiful and comfortable with a great kitchen for family meals and a large living room to hang out in. The pool and backyard were fantastic, with an amazing view of a nearby tree where a group of rainbow macaws likes to hang out! Hermosa beach is very close and good for sunrises or evening walks. The location is also convenient for driving to downtown Jacó or doing day trips to tourist attractions like Playa Ballena and Manuel Antonio. Finally, Maud is SO helpful! She helped us plan multiple excursions and had numerous recommendations for local food and activities. She helped make our family vacation awesome!

Maud communicated regularly and accurately at the time of reservations, leading up to the stay, and before checkin. She was promptly available to answer our questions, make recommendations, and help when needed. The home was wonderful and a 2 minute walk from the beach. Definitely recommend this host and location!

The place is beautiful, very comfortable, clean, very close to the beach. The pool is beautiful, private and very cozy, we really enjoyed it. The kitchen is complete, each room has its own bathroom, the air conditioning is excellent. Maud is an excellent host and made us feel right at home. Maud's house is super recommended to give you an escape to paradise.

El lugar es precioso, muy confortable, limpio, muy cerca de la playa. La piscina es preciosa, privada y muy acogedora, la disfrutamos mucho. La cocina está completa, cada habitación tiene su baño, la climatización excelente. Maud es una excelente anfitriona y nos hizo sentir como en casa. La casa de Maud es súper recomendada para darte una escapadita al paraíso.

Great place!  Very hospitable. I hope to return!

This place was last minute for us, but we wished we booked it the day we arrived! It was very relaxing and right next to the beach. Maud was super nice and she gave a lot of recommendations for restaurants & excursions

Maud was a great host - responsive, helpful, and making sure we had a great experience. The place was clean and had everything we needed, inside a small safe gated community. Maud helped us out with some local recommendations for restaurants and bars as well!

Excellent place and host! Highly recommend would stay again!

Maud’s home was like a dream come true! Immaculate, fully-equipped kitchen & and sprawling open living room/dining room/kitchen area, 3 queen-size bedrooms each with a private bathroom and opening up to the pool. It’s less than a 5 minute walk to a very quiet beach, and there’s 4 beach chairs & 2 umbrellas for your use. There isn’t a TV, and a car is necessary. Maud was in touch prior with directions, and greeted us at arrival to show us around the house. The area is very quiet in a gated community with a guard. There’s a few choices of restaurants on the beach just a short drive away, and Jaco is no more than a 15 minute drive. I would love to return to Maud’s paradise!!

Maud is very responsive and accommodating. She had great recommendations for the area and beyond. It was a one minute walk to the beach. The pool and backyard space was amazing along with the rest of the house.

This place is exactly like it is described and looked in the picture. We saw parrots and iguanas in the backyard. Pool is very relaxing and the beach is literally a short 30 second walk. It was nice to go sit on the beach watching the sun rise and set. Maud is so sweet and nice, communicates and responds extremely well. Her dogs are so sweet too. Victor the guard at the front is also very helpful with calling taxis and helping us get a private chef last minute. We gave him all our left over food, drinks, alcohol when we departed so it wouldn’t go to waste. Everything and everyone  was PuraVida!

This was a great home for a group (6 adults and 2 kids)! It was amazing to each have our own room/bathroom. The common spaces were comfy and the pool was amazing! However, the pool doesn’t have steps into the deeper part so just something to be aware of for kids and elderly. The walk to the beach is super short and it’s such a beautiful space BUT it’s not a beach you could really get into due to its rough currents and crazy waves - it’s more used by surfers so if you want a home with beach access to enjoy the water it won’t be for you. Overall the home was great and comfy. Definitely brings more towels bc there’s not enough and they don’t dry quick due to the climate. Would definitely stay here again!

Hi Alejandra. Thank you for the recommendation concerning the pool. I will mention it in the review and will add one. Concerning towels I do not understand. I gave you towels (shower and pool) for each of you and told you to let me know if you needed more 🤷🏻‍♀️ it is also recommended in the house rules to have them dry in the sun, or dryer at disposal, so they can dry properly due to the climate. Well I hope you still had fun.. and yes as said in the review Hermosa is a beach for good surfers.. I hope you still had fun though!

good location for beach lovers. a little secluded and quiet.

bien situé pour les amateurs de plage. un peu isolé et calme.

We loved our stay here so much!! We would move in tomorrow if we could! Maud had everything we could need, and she was a fantastic host!

Mauds Place was absolutely wonderful! We loved staying here and can only recommend anyone who is thinking about it to definitely book it! The place is lovely and so is Maud

Thank you very much Maud for receiving us a quiet and beautiful place super close to the beach.

Muchísimas gracias Maud por recibirnos un lugar tranquilo y hermoso súper cerca de la playa.

Maud was an incredible host. She was so responsive and provided so many great recommendations for our family of 5 with 3 little kids. The house and the pool were perfect. We enjoyed it so much that we spent more time swimming in the pool and enjoying lunch outside while watching the iguanas walk across the lawn and the scarlet macaws fly overhead than we thought we would. The house is directly across the street from the beach and we hardly ever saw other people on it. The busiest day was Saturday and we got to watch all the local surfers. I can’t say enough great things about Maud and this house.

Perfect place & host, 5 stars well deserved!!!

We had a great time. We were far enough away from the hustle and bustle , yet close enough to many beautiful atttactions. We enjoyed walking to the beach and afternoon swims in the pool. Thanks for a great week.

I can’t say enough about Maud and her place. I felt the true spirit of an Airbnb aka meeting a host and feeling taken care of. The space was perfect for my husband and me and my sister’s family, totaling 8 people (3 kids age 4, 7, and 10). We spent 5 days and 4 nights living pura vida. Coming from 3 days in La Fortuna, Playa Hermosa is a great location away from busy Jaco. This is the place you want to feel disconnected and be with family—warning there is no TV/netflix, but we didn’t need or want it. We played in the pool, figured out puzzles and played board games, some of us surfed, and we made home cooked meals. Totally recommend fresh seafood at Vida Hermosa with ocean seating and views. The beach is literally a 30 second walk from the house, which we just loved the peacefulness and waves. Maud made our trip super memorable and her two dogs were icing on the cake. Don’t look elsewhere, this is the PERFECT place for families and kids looking to spend real time with each other.

Thank you for your beautiful feedback 🩵🤗

Great place, loved the area according to Maud's recommendations! OMG! Great surf beach 30 seconds walk away. We were traveling with kids and we saw natural pools created by the tides, as well as a restaurant in the sand. they loved it. they loved the pool too!!

Super logement, j'ai adoré les environs selon les recommandations de Maud ! Wow! Superbe plage de surf à 30 secondes de marche. On voyageait avec des enfants et on a été voir des piscines naturelles créés par les marées, ainsi qu'un resto dans le sable. ils ont adorés. ils ont aussi beaucoup aimé la piscine!!

What a beautiful home! Just steps from the beach and so clean and comfortable. Maud was an amazing host and we needed for nothing. We loved our stay!
