Villa in Playa Hermosa

Casa Ventanas is a beautiful villa with breathtaking views. The pool and outdoor BBQ were great for the evening relaxation. The very steep driveway was challenging but OK to handle with a 4WD. Overall, wonderful place to stay in Costa Rica.

An excellent place to spend a family vacation. A spacious house with everything you need to have a good time. It has an incredible view and everything is very close. Communication is fast and they resolve issues immediately.

Excelente lugar para pasar las vacaciones en familia,  casa amplia con todo lo que se necesita para pasarla bien, tiene un vista increíble y todo está muy cerca. La comunicación es rápida y solucionan de inmediato.

If it’s available, book it! We were a group of 7, and this house was amazing. It was better than the photos showed. The pool was absolutely wonderful. One of the days we were there, four of our party just stayed in the pool the entire day. It was great for swimming at all hours of the day. The beds were pretty good. A little hard, but overall comfortable. The bathrooms were wonderful as well. Every room had its own bathroom. The views were stunning! The kitchen was great and had everything we needed. The inside communal space was wonderful. We were a little worried when they said the AC couldn’t be put lower than 23c, but that was actually the perfect temperature. The AC worked wonderfully. The drive way was a little scary. We had 4WD and used it, but I dont know if you truly need it. It’s paved, but it is extremely steep. It took just a little bit of work getting out, but it really wasn’t that bad. Overall, I’m so glad we picked this place.

Awesome venue. Beautiful views. Very responsive host team. Highly recommend 4X4 vehicle due to steep incline at entrance gate.

The house is beautiful with an amazing view. It was very well equipped. The pool was beautiful. The path is extremely steep (as described in the listing). The hosts are always available to answer any questions. Highly recommended...

La casa es hermosa con una vista increíble. Estaba muy bien equipada. La piscina preciosa. El camino es extremadamente empinado (como se describe en el anuncio). Los anfitriones siempre atentos a contestar cualquier consulta. Muy recomendada...

Thank you for staying with us — it’s great to hear the home was a great fit for your stay. It’s wonderful to know everything felt easy and well supported throughout your visit. We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime.

Great place for a vacation with extended family. A four-wheel drive vehicle is a necessity and getting in/out the first time feels a bit sketchy if you aren't used to the very steep grade to the house. Just a 5 minute drive to Playa Hermosa, and 15 minutes from Playa Coco. Luperon grocery store is a 2 minute drive and has most of what you'll need to buy. The pool was great and had shade in the morning, but got full sun by the middle of the day. the house was great, but could use some newer cooking pans. plenty of towels and linens. we would definitely stay here again.

We’re so glad the home was a great fit for your extended family and that you enjoyed the pool and convenient location. It’s wonderful to hear you had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you for the note on the cookware as well — we’re reviewing and updating items as needed — and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.

Amazing house!!  It was even better than what the pictures showed!  We loved our stay and would definitely stay here again. Great way to end an awesome trip!  Thank you!!

It’s fantastic to hear the home lived up to — and beyond — the photos. We’re so happy it helped wrap up your trip on a high note. We’d be thrilled to host you again.

House was wonderful! Clean, easy to find, and good location. If you stay here I recommend renting a vehicle as nothing was walkable. But you were a close drive to everything.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the home and its location. Having a vehicle really does make exploring the area simple and convenient - we love being able to hop in the car and be just a quick drive to the area beaches and restaurants.  Our team is always happy to help guests arrange rentals through our fleet or trusted local partners. 💪 We’d be happy to host you again.  Pura Vida!

Beautiful stay! Was very well equipped. Kids Loved the board games and pool. The road is extremely steep (as described in listing)! Beautiful views of the coast & very safe community, exceeded expectations for sure!

We’re so glad you had such a beautiful stay and that the home felt well equipped for your family. It’s great to hear the kids enjoyed the pool and board games — those little touches make it fun for everyone. The hillside setting does come with that steep road, but the views really are worth it. We’d love to welcome you back anytime.  Pura Vida!

Great views, house was amazing. Pool awesome. Only downfall is the road up to house, but manageable. And some of the traffic you can hear from the road. But if you play some music in house you can kinda block it out. Other wise it was great.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the amazing views and pool and found the home a great place to stay. The hillside setting does mean an elevated access road, which is paved.  But many guests find the views well worth it. Thank you so much for choosing this property for your vacation time!  Pura Vida!

We had a fantastic time here! Group of 7 of us and we fit perfectly. Everything was clean and well stocked. We cooked many meals in the kitchen and it had just about everything we needed. The pool and views are AMAZING! We spent so much time on the pool deck and really enjoyed it. The hosts were also so accommodating and gave us a late checkout which we really appreciated. The guide that was given to us by the hosts was so helpful, we used many of the recommendations. Would highly recommended these restaurants (gluten free and vegan!): Father Roosters, Ginger, and Restaurant Sabor a Mexico There were a few plumbing issues that we informed the hosts about and they sent out maintenance the next day. Hopefully these will be worked out ahead of time for future guests. Overall we recommend this place, amazing views and great hosts!

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We’re glad the home was a great fit for your group and that you were able to fully enjoy the pool, views, and outdoor spaces — they really are highlights of the property. It’s also great to hear the kitchen and area guide supported your stay and helped you make the most of the area, including those restaurant finds.  We’re also glad we could accommodate the late checkout. Thank you for recommending the home, and we’d love to welcome you back again.

This house was stunning! Our group enjoyed the house, beautiful pool, views and close proximity to the beaches, restaurants and small shops. The description of both the house and amenities were very accurate. Rich Coast Vacation not only provided excellent proactive information, but they also helped us arrange a couple of excursions. They were responsive and made it easy to communicate with them. The house is in the hills in a very nice community that is gated. It was not walkable to restaurants or beaches (as disclosed), but they were all a very short drive away. I am glad they suggested a 4-wheel drive, it was needed. I would definitely stay in the house if I visited again. All the bedrooms had comfortable beds and on-suite bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked and easy for us to make breakfast daily, as well as a grill outside which we used one evening while we enjoyed the pool. I cannot say enough great things about the house and our stay.

It was a wonder trip. The house was just like the pictures. Water was reliable and hot, pool was beautiful. Clean, well equipped kitchen.

This place was absolutely AMAZING!  The driveway on the other hand takes a bit getting used to but it is worth every penny!  We have been to CR many times and this house is perfect for couples or families.  The pool was very clean and even had a pool guy that came and cleaned it. We didn't have any issues with this home and the management company was quick to respond when we had one issue even though it was not pressing.  They are very professional when asking to gain entry to the home for extra garbage pick-up, or to repair the one thing we called about.  I would not hesitate to rent from them again, and they also set up a couples massage for one of the couples for a night massage by the pool.  The pool is an entertaining pool, so it is not deep at all. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will see you all again next year!

We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and that the home worked so well for your group. Thank you for mentioning both the pool care and the professionalism of our team — we always want guests to feel looked after without any disruption. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the poolside massage experience; those little touches make a vacation extra memorable. The driveway can certainly take a moment to adjust to, but we agree the views and setting make it worthwhile. And you’re absolutely right about the pool — in Costa Rica, pools are typically around 1.5m/5ft deep throughout, unlike in North America where a deep end is more common. We can’t wait to welcome you back next year!  Pura Vida!

This place far exceeded our expectations. The views from the airbnb were breathtaking and the property was in great shape. We really enjoyed how clean everything was and nicely decorated. We all felt safe and felt the host was very responsive to things that needed to be fixed during the stay. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear the property and those views made such a positive impression ... and that our team could respond quickly to anything needed during your stay. It means a lot to know you felt safe and comfortable, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

House is as beautiful as the pictures and the surroundings are lush and indulgent. We had an issue with clogged drain in bathroom, agent sent handyman who resolved it with no fuss. Rich Coast Vacations was very helpful during trip and the house was a dream. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your 5* review, Tracy!  We are glad our team was available to assist - sometimes we can't always be proactive in situations but we can be reactive!  It was a pleasure to host your group.  Pura Vida!

We were a group of 5 friends traveling around Costa Rica looking for a spot to relax at the end of our trip. This place absolutely delivered & then some! We spent so much time in the pool, which was refreshing & spacious. We loved stargazing on the patio in the sun loungers as well. Ample table space for games at the end of the night. Very close to multiple beaches, which were easy to navigate & park for sunset. The only con of the property is the very steep grade of the driveway- parking and getting out of the car port area was tricky to put it kindly. We elected to park in the overflow spaces instead, but then the walk up and down to the vehicle is very steep & is not fitting for persons who are perhaps more unsteady on their feet. The twin beds are also likely more suited for children or smaller folks, as the adult men we were traveling with were very uncomfortable The host was extremely communicative & clear in their directions. We had such a lovely stay!

Thank you Emily for your comments and let us know areas of improvement for our future guests. We hope that your stay with us has created unforgettable memories. Pura Vida! Rich Coast Vacations

Overall, our expectations were exceeded. The place was beautiful, clean, and exactly as described and more. From playing in the infinite pool, to homemade dinners on the massive grille, to chasing a suitcase down the hills of Monte Paraiso, this house brought our family together, and made a family vacation into a memory that will never be forgotten. Thank you Rich Coast Vacation's, and hoping to see you again next year!

We had trouble with our trip due to weather conditions. Jennifer from Rich Coast Vacations provided us with exceptional service and support. We thank her and highly recommend this host.

Nous avons eu des difficultés avec notre voyages dû aux conditions météorologiques. Jennifer de Rich Coast Vacations nous a offert un service et un soutien exceptionnel. Nous la remercions et recommandons fortement cet hôte.

Thank you for your kind words!  We look forward to welcoming you in the future!  Pura Vida!

Wow this house is beautiful! The views are stunning, rooms are clean and comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, bathrooms are spacious with wonderful showers, and the pool was perfect. My husband, son (7), and I had the best week staying here. Jennifer was super helpful and responsive and everything was as described. Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure hosting your family, Whitney! Until next time ... :) Pura Vida!

My family and I loved Casa Ventanas. This was the final Airbnb that we stayed in during our vacation, and it was wonderful to wind down in a place so luxurious and comfortable. Every room is equipped and furnished to North American standards, which is not always the case in other CR Airbnbs. The kitchen was full of spices, utensils, pots, and tableware, and the living area had loads of games and other diversions. Having a dishwasher was a real treat! The pool was a big hit with the kids--it was a struggle to lure them away. Try to arrive during daylight. The road through the gated community is a narrow one-way private road that loops the main paved street. It is quite steep and winding. Once you enter through the gate where the guard is, you drive almost to the end of this road to get to Casa Ventanas (clearly marked by its lot number). To leave, you continue in the same direction to another gate which is only for exiting and which leads you to the same paved road where you started.

The home looks just like the photos. Well appointed kitchen. Clean and lovely. Pool is beautiful. For older guests like us, you should be aware that the road in/out of the neighborhood is very, very steep. If you have mobility issues, it is something to consider. Other than that, wonderful, wonderful place.

Thanks for your stay and your 5* review, Candyce.  Yes, the road to the home is definitely steep!  Great exercise, but not for everyone.  :)  For this reason, we don't recommend renting the home without a rental car.

Casa Ventanas was amazing - we went during the "rainy season" but with rain comes the LUSH FLORA.  Many of the photos  shown are from the dry season, but it's so beautiful with everything in grow-mode!  The community drive up and down the mountain is a bit steep, but we've seen steeper.  Not too bad, just takes a bit of getting used to.  The amenities were great (LOTS of pool/beach towels) and everything was in ship shape working order (laundry, dishwasher, etc).  The lighting inside the house is great, with intuitively placed (and labeled) switches and dimmers.  We didn't use the grill, but really appreciated the outdoor layout.   Pool was comfortable and private.  The house is very close to the "fun" town of Playa del Coco as well as our favorite (quieter) Playa Hermosa.  Will be back soon!

This is a amazing home with a incredible view . Was close to tons of restaurants and store. They help you plan thing for your trip. The house looks just like the picture. I would definitely be staying again on my next trip . Thanks for everything .
