Villa Serendida | Panoramic OceanViews, Pool & BBQ - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Wonderful place to stay. The location is amazing.

Mathew, a beautiful location sets the tone for everything else, and it is one of those things that is hard to fully appreciate until you are actually in it.

They have maintenance problems in several places, Very old stove and grills, and it was very difficult to heat the grill. Impossible. Doors: in several rooms, the doors don't work well. They don't close or are too difficult to open or close. They are very stiff, and if there are children, it's dangerous. Water. We ran out of water for a whole evening/night. The tanks are closed. The main gate doesn't work well at all. It doesn't close and it doesn't open. The control was deprogrammed. We had to hire a service to be able to leave the house. They didn't answer the calls to fix it or to be able to leave the property.

tienen Problemas de mantenimiento en varios puntos, Cocina y parrillas muy viejas y con mucho problema para calentar la parrilla imposible. Puertas, en varias habitaciones no funciona bien las puertas no cierra o cuesta demasiado abrir o cerrar muy duras y si hay ninos es peligroso. Agua, nos quedamos sin agua en total una tarde noche. los tanque esta cerrados. Porton principal no funciona bien terrible no cierra y no abre. el control estaba desprogramado tuvimos que contratar un servicio para poder salir de la casa. no costestan la llamadas para solucionar o poder salir de la propiedad

Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely regret the inconvenience that arose during your stay. While we had not received similar reports about most of the points mentioned, it is true that the main gate had an unexpected malfunction during your visit. Fortunately, the issue has already been resolved for future reservations. We also want to clarify that the technical service you hired to be able to leave the property was reimbursed in full, as agreed, so it did not represent an additional cost for you. As for the water outage, unfortunately it was a situation completely beyond our control, since we depend on the public service, just as is the case when there are interruptions in the electricity supply. Regarding communication, we reviewed the history and maintained contact with you at all times to provide assistance and find solutions. We understand that the combination of several issues can affect any guest's experience, and that's why we always take responsibility, face the problem, and work to resolve each situation as soon as possible. We appreciate your feedback as they help us keep improving.

Place and view was nice, front gate stopped working after a day and the host had to be contacted every time we wanted to exit. There were also security cameras everywhere.

Thank you for your feedback, Jonathan. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the property and its panoramic views. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the unexpected gate failure during your stay. It was a circumstantial situation, and the problem has already been completely repaired. To clarify, the property has only two exterior security cameras: one located at the main entrance and another facing the pool area. Both are clearly indicated on the Airbnb listing and identified on the property. These cameras are used exclusively for security purposes. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to work to improve the experience for our future guests.

The property is nice and spacious, but our experience was marked by too many problems for a 2-night stay. There were 13 of us guests, including 2 small children. We had 14 hours without enough water pressure to use toilets, showers, or cook. The grill, which was an important part of our plans, was unusable until Saturday night. The most concerning thing was that the main gate broke down at 6:15 pm on Saturday and remained damaged until our check-out on Sunday. We spent our last night with the property open and unable to secure access. During a storm and a power outage, we tried to contact the host for more than 5 hours via Airbnb, messages, and phone, receiving a late response with no solution. In addition, the mezzanine is difficult to access via a steep staircase, has poor ventilation, lots of light coming in, and does not have a bathroom. Overall, too many problems and too little support to justify the cost of the stay.

La propiedad bonita y espaciosa, pero nuestra experiencia está marcada por demasiados problemas para una estadía de 2noches. Éramos 13 huéspedes, incluidos 2 niños pequeños. Tuvimos 14 horas sin presión de agua suficiente para usar inodoros, duchas o cocinar. La parrilla, que era parte importante de nuestros planes, estuvo inservible hasta la noche del sábado. Lo más preocupante fue que el portón principal se averió a las 6:15 p. m. del sábado y permaneció dañado hasta nuestro check-out el domingo. Pasamos nuestra última noche con la propiedad abierta y sin poder asegurar el acceso. Durante una tormenta y un corte eléctrico, intentamos contactar al anfitrión durante más de 5 horas por Airbnb, mensajes y teléfono, recibiendo una respuesta tardía y sin solución. Además, el mezzanine tiene acceso difícil mediante una escalera empinada, poca ventilación, mucha entrada de luz y no cuenta con baño. En general, demasiados problemas y muy poco apoyo para justificar el costo de la estadía.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sincerely sorry that your stay coincided with several unexpected inconveniences, including a severe storm that caused a community-wide power outage and affected some of the property's services. Although these circumstances were beyond our control, we understand the inconvenience caused and are working to address the reported issues, restore the affected services, and follow up on the situation. As a gesture of goodwill, we also offered them a late check-out at no extra cost to provide more flexibility for their group. Villa Serendida has welcomed numerous families and groups who have enjoyed its spaces, panoramic views and amenities. Although we respectfully disagree with some aspects of your review, we appreciate your feedback and will continue to improve the experience for our guests.

I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for allowing me to stay at your beautiful Airbnb. Everything about the home exceeded my expectations it was truly one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Celebrating my birthday there made the experience even more special, and I genuinely appreciate the comfort, cleanliness, and overall atmosphere you provided. It felt like a home away from home. Thank you again for your hospitality. I would absolutely love to stay again in the future and will gladly recommend your place to others. Best regards, David

We stayed at this villa for the second time, and if it’s available for your dates, you absolutely won’t regret booking it! The place is truly stunning, with breathtaking views and a very spacious property. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. There is plenty of space, everything is clean and well-maintained, and the pool and surrounding area are just wonderful. Our host was also fantastic, very responsive, quick to reply to any messages, and incredibly helpful with recommendations. We would definitely love to come back again!

Just as seen in the photos, a very nice property with incredible views and all the necessary amenities for an enjoyable weekend. Communication with the host was very good, the check-in instructions were super clear, and it was very easy to get in. Everything was very clean and tidy. We were a large group with children and adults, and we all really enjoyed our stay at this property.

Tal como se ve en las fotos, propiedad muy bonita, con vistas increíbles y todas las comodidades necesarias para pasar un fin de semana a gusto. La comunicación con el host fue muy buena, las instrucciones de llegada súper claras y muy fácil de ingresar. Todo estaba muy limpio y ordenado. Éramos un grupo grande con niños y adultos y todos disfrutamos mucho la estadía en esta propiedad.

Amazing house! Secluded yet close to lots of restaurants and things to do. Host was SUPER responsive to ours questions and needs. Great experience!

Great view of the ocean and nice location near to Playa Hermosa. The kitchen does not have things like salt, pepper, oil, coffee, etc. so make sure to buy any essentials.

The house and grounds are so beautiful. It was amazing waking up to a view of the hills and ocean each morning. The pool was incredible!

The house was awesome, the view breathtaking, the pool had the right temperature all day long inclusive at night time, totally equipped, the beds were very comfortable. The couch on the living room the cherry on top of the cake… amazing. It was a breeze to rent the property. We had a birthday dinner and the host suggested a private chef and also a party planner. Both of them 10/10 we had and amazing time. We will be back hopefully on a longer stay.

Great place for big families or friends gatherings. Private and with the best view.

Wonderful stay, well appointed home with amazing views!

Very nice home for a large group with a very responsive property manager. Note, the home is up a steep hill but the view is worth it. There is also one bedroom that is a loft and requires a little more creativity. Overall good space!

The home was so beautiful I’ll be booking again next time !

Excellent for large groups, the house is super spacious with incredible views, as seen in the photos, that's how it is in real life. We had no problems, the host was always attentive and everyone in my group was also very happy, 100% recommended.

Excelente para grupos grandes, la casa es súper espaciosa con unas vista increíbles, como se ve en las fotos así es en vivo. No tuvimos ningún problema, el host siempre atento y todas las personas de mi grupo quedaron también muy contentas, 100% recomendado.

Be aware, the road leading up to the house is challenging for basic cars. We barely made it up the hill to the unit. Make sure you have a powerful car. Overall, the place has lots of room and great amenities. It’s hard to tell from the pictures, but the rooms are split into three different buildings and the loft area is a straight vertical ladder to get into, making it challenging for our kids (9 and 10) to safely get in and out.

This home is absolutely stunning ! The house was sparking clean and welcoming. The Airbnb host Carlos was God sent, as he was always available to answer us including late night. The hosts provided help with excursions , a personal driver , chef and much more! I will be back in Jaco and staying with Jaco homes! This was the best birthday ever !!!

The Serendita house was an amazing place to spend a few days with friends, relax and enjoy a beautiful place with super nice and complete spaces. In addition to the fact that communication with the host was very fluid and we received help when we needed it, thank you very much, highly recommended!!

La casa serendida fue un lugar increíble para pasar unos días con amigos, relajarse y disfrutar de un hermoso lugar con espacios súper lindos y completos. A demás de que la comunicación con el anfitrión fue muy fluida y recibimos la ayuda cuando la necesitamos, muchas gracias, súper recomendada!!

uxury Stay with Breathtaking Views The house is absolutely beautiful, and the host was very responsive and attentive to all our concerns. The view from the property is truly breathtaking — it’s simply phenomenal. I highly recommend renting a 4-wheel drive vehicle, as the road leading to the property can be quite challenging and bumpy, especially on rainy days. That said, the experience and comfort the property offers are well worth the drive up the mountain!

Lovely place! Amazing view, rooms and amenities in general. Will definitely come back!

Beautiful home, just like the pictures  ! I Would recommend staying here and also booking things through their concierge!

This home is beyond beautiful! We didn’t want to leave! The drive up the hill was SCARY! Some uber drivers were either scared or didn’t want to come because of how steep it was. 4x4 recommended. We made it though and boy was the drive up worth it. This is the type of house that you go grocery shopping for when you arrive and don’t leave until check out. STUNNING! My mom got to enjoy it while we were out. When arriving I was given the wrong code to the main house, but with a quick and simple call they gave me the correct code. It’s 3 separate houses on the property. The main house has 2 bedrooms and a loft area. Loved the couch and kitchen in the main house! The fan was a nice touch for my mom. There’s an entire apartment below the house! Didn’t see it until our last day. I saw monkeys, macaws, toucans, huge insects, my sisters saw a pizote. The view, the view, the view. Chefs kiss! We will definitely be coming back to this exact house whenever I come back to CR! We LOVED it!

Overall great! The host was responsive and friendly . The views were unmatched and it felt very safe and clean. Would stay again

This property was out of a dream. It had everything we needed, the most beautiful views, and incredibly responsive and easy to communicate hosts! The location itself is a tough one, the hill is quite steep and 4x4 car is necessary … but the view and the house itself made the journey that much more worth it! We even saw a pack of monkeys in the trees right by the house which was awesome. The master bedroom is unreal and the house itself is definitely better than what the pictures show!

We stayed in this beautiful home for one week. It accomodated comfortably 20 family members. The views and seclusion of the house were dream-like. Our host was very responsive and helpful the entirety of the trip. We would definitely come back here again!

Hi Maria—thank you so much for choosing Casa Serendida for your family gathering! We’re thrilled to hear the home comfortably accommodated all 20 of you and that you loved the dream-like views and seclusion. It was our pleasure to be responsive throughout your stay, and we’re so glad everything went smoothly. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime your family returns—there’s always more beauty to discover here!

The house was beautiful! Everything was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The road to get to the house is steep but the trip to the home was worth it. The owners were quickly responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Our family had the best time.

Hi Megan—thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled you found the house beautiful, spotless, and well-equipped for your family’s needs. The steep road is indeed part of the adventure, but rest assured it’s fully paved and safe, providing secure access all year round. After that first impressive drive up, most guests quickly get used to it—and even come to enjoy the unique approach to the house! It was our pleasure to be responsive and help with any questions. We’re so happy your family had the best time, and we’d love to welcome you back any time!

Absolutely wonderful! I cannot describe how beautiful the place was. Concierge was wonderful, extremely attentive and responsive. Group of 7 stayed and had lots of space. The pool was definitely our favorite part. House had everything we needed from spices to extra towels to air fryers. 10/10

Hi Anaya—thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled you and your group of seven found plenty of space and enjoyed the attentive service from our concierge team. It’s great to hear the pool was a highlight and that the kitchen stocked with spices, extra towels, and even air fryers had everything you needed. We aim to make every stay feel effortless and comfortable. We’d love to welcome you all back to Casa Serendida anytime—thanks again for the 10/10 review, and we can’t wait to host you again!

Excellent house, a comfortable stay, with an unbeatable atmosphere, the host is always attentive, and the pool, the view and rooms are the best, definitely the best place to rest and have an amazing time, Super recommended!!! 5⭐️ 💎💎

Excelente casa, una estancia cómoda, con un ambiente inmejorable, el anfitrión siempre al pendiente, y la alberca la vista y habitaciones de lo mejor, sin duda el mejor lugar para descansar y pasarla increíble, Súper recomendable!!! 5⭐️ 💎💎

¡Hola José Luis! Muchas gracias por tu fantástico review y por destacar la comodidad, la vista de la piscina y la atención que les facilitamos en todo momento. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que Casa Serendida fue el lugar perfecto para descansar y disfrutar en familia. También agradecemos tu mensaje privado; fue un placer hospedarles y saber que se sintieron tan a gusto. ¡Esperamos recibirte de nuevo muy pronto para otra experiencia inolvidable!

Staying at Jaco Homes was an amazing experience. The compound was beautiful while overlooking the ocean. The home was spacious and well equipped. We all were comfortable. The host was very responsive to all of our questions, and provided great service.

Hi Damien—thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had an amazing experience at Casa Serendida and that the ocean views, spacious layout, and amenities made everyone feel comfortable and at home. It was a pleasure being responsive and supporting your stay—we’re always happy to help make your time here as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Stayed here with a family of 11 and two children. Had the absolute best time, everyone had their own space. Kid friendly, the views were amazing. We saw lots of wild life during our stay, including two macaws on our last day. The host was very helpful with recommendations, and providing transportation. The pool was amazing perfect for non swimmers and experienced. The hill to get up to the house was a factor when trying find drivers, so I would recommend sticking to one driver. We also enjoyed the private chef the host recommend 10/10 service and food, it was such a great experience. I would definitely recommend this home to others.

Thank you, Shaiann, for such a thoughtful and kind review! We're so glad to hear that Casa Serendida worked out perfectly for you and family of 11. It’s great to know everyone had their own space, the kids felt right at home, and the whole group got to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and amazing wildlife—especially the surprise visit from the macaws on their last day! We also appreciate you mentioning the hill—while it adds to the home’s unique setting and views, it can be a factor when coordinating rides, so having a go-to driver is definitely a helpful tip for future guests. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the private chef experience as well—it really is one of those special touches that make a stay unforgettable. It was truly a pleasure to host Shaiann and her family, and we’d love to welcome them back anytime!

⸻ Hello! A few friends and I visited Costa Rica for a 4-day trip and booked this property. Initially, the owner was very responsive, and we were excited about our stay. Unfortunately, things quickly took a turn once we arrived. On our first night, we discovered that the stove, water, and Wi-Fi weren’t working. We later found out the manager had forgotten to replace the gas tank before our arrival. While the issue was resolved the next day and things briefly improved, we lost power around noon on the following day. We learned that a power line had been cut—an issue outside the host’s control. The manager informed us they were trying to find us a new house but asked us to stay one more night in the current place, despite having no electricity or running water. The next day, still without power, we were told no alternate house was unavailable, and we’d receive a refund—but we would need to leave and find a new place on our own. We had to relocate ourselves and cut our trip short at t

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are truly sorry that your stay coincided with a series of very rare and unfortunate events, and how disappointing that must have been. On your first night, there were indeed issues with the gas tank and Starlink internet — both of which were addressed and resolved promptly the next morning. We want to emphasize that this was the first time we've ever experienced a Starlink service disruption at Casa Serendida, and these issues are not reflective of the typical guest experience at the property. The extended power outage was caused by a snapped cable during a storm — a situation affecting the entire community and one that could only be resolved by the local power company. We reported it immediately, maintained constant communication with you, and offered options based on the evolving situation. While we did attempt to move you to an alternative property, that home was unfortunately booked last-minute by another guest. Ultimately, we made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of your reservation and issued a full refund to help you make other arrangements, even coordinating with Airbnb to support your relocation. Since your visit, we’ve welcomed several other guests who all left 5-star reviews, reaffirming that this was an isolated incident. While we regret that your experience did not meet expectations, we always do our best to handle unforeseen challenges with transparency, responsiveness, and fairness.

The view at this home is WONDERFUL!! Plenty of space for a big group, never felt crowded. The hosts are VERY helpful with connecting you to chef’s and transportation! This home was truly wonderful and the pool was the best!!! PLEASE take heed to the 4X4 recommendation!! HIGHLY recommend that you rent a car due to the STEEP hill. We got Odyssey Tours for transportation and one night while we were out in town they cancelled on bringing us back home even though they promised to. The taxis did not have cars that could make it up the hill. No fault of the Airbnb hosts at all. But just please listen when they recommend you renting a 4X4.

The house is beautiful, we were a large group with many children, the common areas were very cozy and functional for everyone. The place is very quiet, private and with a lot of nature around, ideal to disconnect. The layout of the rooms must be taken into account. There is a room that has humidity problems and another is inaccessible to most (by means of a wall ladder). Luckily they allowed us to move some mattresses and we managed to settle in well. The central house has a very spacious room with beautiful decoration, it is practically a suite. We think the kitchenware could be improved and the grill changed. Comment from my 11-year-old daughter: I loved it! It's an amazing place, the pool is very large, there's a beautiful kitten that we loved feeding, the only thing we didn't love was that the room downstairs has a terrible smell but only that, 💯100% recommended. If you go, you'll love it. It's like paradise 😃🩷👧🏻

La casa es hermosa, éramos un grupo grande con muchos niños, las áreas comunes resultaron muy acogedoras y funcionales para todos. El lugar es muy tranquilo, privado y con mucha naturaleza alrededor, ideal para desconectar. Se debe tomar en cuenta la distribución de las habitaciones, hay una habitación que tiene problemas de humedad y otra es inaccesible para la mayoría (por medio de escalera de pared ) por suerte nos permitieron movilizar algunos colchones y nos logramos acomodar bien. La casa central cuenta con una habitación muy espaciosa y con una decoración bellísima, es prácticamente una suite. Consideramos se puede mejorar el menaje de la cocina y cambiar la parrilla. Comentario de mi hija de 11 años: Me encantó! Es un lugar increíble, la piscina es muy grande, hay un gatito hermoso al que nos encantó alimentar, lo único que no nos encantó fue que el cuarto de abajo tiene un olor terrible pero solo eso, 💯% recomendado. Si vas te encantará es como el paraíso 😃🩷👧🏻

The view is superb , but it lacked outdoor furniture, BBQ changed , outdoor fridge didn't work, for more than 6 people lacked equipment we were 8 and should have been 10 , bedroom in the basement really smells too wet , but really beautiful as a place we loved and saw monkeys and parrots, as well as the company of little ones

La vue est superbe , mais il manquait de mobilier extérieur, BBQ a changé ,réfrigérateur extérieur ne fonctionnait pas, pour plus de 6 personnes manque d’équipement nous étions 8 et aurait dû être 10 , chambre au sous-sol sent vraiment trop l’humidité , mais vraiment beau comme endroit avons adoré et avons vu des singes et des perroquets, ainsi que la compagnie de petits minou

Very nice property, secluded in case you want a quiet plan. There is a room that has very complicated access and we could not use it, but otherwise it is really good for the price.

Muy bonita la propiedad, alejada por si uno quiere un plan tranquilo. Hay un cuarto que tiene un acceso muy complicado y no lo pudimos usar pero por lo demás esta super bien por el precio.

This home is spectacular! Great views, beautiful, very secluded and clean! Host were great about getting back with us when we were there! One thing I will say is the plumbing isn’t the best sometimes the toilets wouldn’t flush all the way but then would eventually flush. And we wish there was more lay-down chairs around the pool or floats to use while in the pool. Everything else was great and I would 100% recommend staying there! We saw monkeys and had a few friendly cats come hang out with us while we stayed! Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home!

I will tell you the truth, the place is spectacular, I had a wonderful time, it does not have much equipment but there is room to exercise, a very beautiful green space, however, the location of the rooms for small children is not convenient, there were many of us and there were older adults so the most accessible rooms were destined for them and the remaining rooms were inaccessible because you had to climb a somewhat dangerous staircase and the other rooms are outside the common area, if only adults go it is perfect to have a very good time, what I did not like is that there are many cats, I am afraid of them and that made me uncomfortable, for the rest it is super equipped with what is necessary to grill meat and have a pleasant time.

We had a wonderful week in this paradise. The villa is spacious and perfectly equipped, ideal for making the most of the outdoors and the beautiful nature of Costa Rica. The new house (second house) is freshly renovated, very luxurious, and comfortable. The pool is stunning and the view was amazing. The host also arranged our transportation and provided great recommendations for chef services and restaurants. We were lucky enough to see many monkeys and toucans right on the property – a truly magical experience! We leave with unforgettable memories. ✨❤️

The location was perfect, with a lot of space for big families. Panoramic View is worth it and Able to see Sunrise every morning is priceless. Lot of nature around, we were able to see, Lapas, Tucans and we even got monkeys visiting us right by the kitchen window. That was just fantastic! Water pressure was little low, but I’m sure is just because of the location of the property. Only much you can do about that. our experience was nothing short of amazing. We cannot recommend this Host and their property highly enough. My Family and I were very happy about this place.

The best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. Incredible property incredibly well maintained. My only regret was not staying longer.

Incredible stay at Casa Serendida. My group and I were eternally grateful for the time we got to spend here. The views and nature surrounding the home will take your breath away. We saw macaws, monkeys, toucans, and coatis during our stay. The houses themselves were gorgeous and had plenty of amenities to spoil us during our stay. The pool was perfect for the beautiful days we’re spending not at the beach. Since the property is in the mountains, the mile or so lane that goes up is quite steep, but our group found Ubers that were willing to go up, and reserve our own personal guide at one point as well. Very thankful for Jasmin as she especially helped book transportation and excursions, and was very welcoming to this property. She made myself, the planner of the group, job much easier. Thank you so much Jasmin! We wish our group could stay there longer, so I hope that you consider this property to be a part of your vacation. You won’t regret it!

This place is one of the rare places where the pictures don’t do it justice. Hosts were incredibly helpful with helping us find great local restaurants and activities to make our visit that much more enjoyable and memorable. One of the best Airbnb experiences we have ever had!

Overall this is a beautiful property with responsive hosts. It is at the top of a STEEP hill that can be intimidating at first but you get used to it. The hosts were lovely - organized airport transfers, rental car, a private chef & massages for us. They were always very responsive. It is close to Playa Hermosa (10 mins) and Jaco (20 mins). Unfortunately we did not have water at the property for 48 hours of our stay - the hosts tried to resolve the issue but weren’t able to so we had to just wait for the water company. With 5 adults in the house and no water this became frustrating quickly and put a damper on an otherwise very nice stay.

Amazing place! The house is fully equipped, it is a private and extremely spacious space, with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The views are breathtaking, the quiet ambiance and we had visits from monkeys, lapas and toucans. Check-in is easy but with a steep slope at the end, it goes up without a problem.

¡Increíble lugar! La casa está totalmente equipada, es un espacio privado y sumamente amplio, con todo lo necesario para disfrutar su estancia. Las vistas son impresionantes, el ambiente tranquilo y tuvimos visitas de monos, lapas y tucanes. La llegada es fácil pero con una cuesta empinada al final, se sube sin problema.

The place is spectacular, super equipped and comfortable! Excellent attention, easy to reach and very close to everything. 100% recommended!

El lugar es espectacular, súper equipada y cómoda! La atención excelente, fácil de llegar y muy cerca de todo. 100% recomendada!

We had an excellent weekend!! The view is beautiful. And everything is just as it looks in the pictures. The night is spectacular as you see all the stars

Pasamos un fin de semana excelente!! La vista es hermosa. Y todo es justo como se ve en las imagenes. La noche es espectacular ya que se ven todas las estrellas

Playa Hermosa in Jacó Hills. What a beautiful experience. Here are a few tips, observations, and details about our experience. 1.Getting there: It’s best to get there during daylight, streets can be deceiving at night. Just stay in contact with staff and you will be good. 2. Staff is attentive and response time is quick. 3. The house is equipped with everything you need. 4. The views are spectacular, and you are close to everything… restaurants, markets, souvenirs shops, excursions, beach, and much more! 5. Definitely recommend a 4x4 vehicle because you will find yourself on dirt roads more often than not. 6. Staff will send you a list of recommendations and provide details of each location. That helped us a lot in efforts to not waste time on getting lost. 7. Make sure you check the weather, if you are going on rainy season… prepare to deal with heavy pours and it be humid too. 8. AC units are strong. 9. Privacy is GREAT. 10. Enjoy the experience… Pura Vida!!!

The house is beautiful, super equipped and has an incredible view of beautiful, everything was spotless, very comfortable, excellent service from the hosts. Without a doubt, a super recommended place to go with family and friends.

La casa es preciosa, súper equipada y tiene una vista increíble de linda, todo estaba impecable, muy cómoda, excelente servicio por parte de los anfitriones. Sin duda alguna, un lugar super recomendado para ir con familia y amigos.

This Airbnb had beautiful views and lots of space. We were shocked at how big the property actually was. We did have some trouble with the hot water but they came as soon as they could and fixed the problem. The hosts were extremely helpful with booking our transportation, chef and bartender services. Unfortunately we ran out of garbage bags and did the best we could with what we had as far as tidying up. Overall was a great experience and would stay here again :)

we had an amazing stay! The power did go out while we were there and they were very responsive when it happened the only downside was the gate stopped working so we couldn't go anywhere and had to sit in the dark but the moon was full and beautiful and they had emergency lights in a few places so it worked out. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved the place. The view is spectacular and the house is very beautiful, it has everything you need to have an excellent stay. Note that the shared beds are on a staircase which can be very high and dangerous. The slope is very steep to get there, it can be intimidate for some.

Nos encantó el lugar. La vista es espectacular y la casa muy hermosa, cuenta con todo lo necesario para tener una excelente estadía. Tomar en cuenta que las camas compartidas están en una escalera que puede ser muy alta y peligrosa. La pendiente es muy pronunciada para llegar, puede resultar intimidate para algunos.

Casa Serendida is spectacular, clean, a beautiful view, and super comfortable. The pool, beautiful rooms and room. Only that to use the room mezzanine, the staircase if it is a little dangerous for an older person or children, and it is not stated in the description.

Casa Serendida es espectacular, limpio, una vista preciosa, y súper cómodo. La piscina, cuartos y sala hermosos. Solamente que para usar el mezzanine de habitación, la escalera si es un poco peligrosa para una persona adulta mayor o niños, y no se indica en la descripción.

This home is without a doubt a must. The reviews are true. The road at first is intimidating but with a 4x4 we were able to get up and down no problem. We were of a group of 9, 23 year old men and never felt like we did not have enough space. The views were outstanding, the house was truly a one of a kind experience. Short distance to everything you need! Daniel is also a fantastic host, quick to answer, give recommendations, set up rides and overall a great guy to communicate with. Thank you so much for hosting our getaway, we will be back. Pura Vida!

Don’t get me wrong. The place was a nice home, but there were some minor issues that arose. The lights went out for a brief period as well as the water. However, the team was very responsive and helped with every question that was asked and maintenance request. The home is on a steep hill, which may be inconvenient to people who are wanting to go down to the town more often than just staying at the home. If this is a place that you’re going to stay at majority of the time, it is very secluded and safe. The aesthetics of the house is beautiful and relaxing. This will be a good place for a family vacation.

The property was great and the view is truly stunning, we have two kids (6 and 2) so having the large yard and pool was awesome. The house was nice and clean, obviously being in a very remote area somethings were out of the property mangers control such as water pressure and lack of hot water, the downstairs apartment was sort of damp, but again I assume thats from the location and humidity. But the A/C was awesome and the house stayed nice and cool. Daniel and Jasmin were great to work with and quick to respond to us. The layout was a little tricky with two younger kids just because the main house only had one bathroom so you either had to go outside or walk to another room/house, but would be a good set-up for a group of adults. The dishwasher was broken so we ended up getting paper plates and plasticware. The drive up to the house is intense, so getting into town was a little trickier than expected so we stayed home more than planned which was fine.

This home was extravagant. So beautiful, saw monkeys and birds on our stay. Definitely worth the price. Home owners were responsive and helpful. Downside was the water pressure in one of the showers was very weak, but there are other showers that work better! We were very happy with our stay here!

We were a big group and we really enjoyed our stay. The place has everything you need and even more. The view is amazing. If you are looking to relax in a family safe environment this is a great option. The mezzanine area might just be for teenagers or young adults because the ladder access can be a little bit dangerous as the ladder is fully vertical, however, if you are careful shouldn't be a problem The independent downstairs bedroom is nice, however, it felt humid, but if you turn on the fan, AC and dehumidifier, you shouldn't have any problem Overall it was a GREAT experience and we loved it. We will definitely rent this place again

A wonderful place, impeccable property with everything you need, and more. We were a big group and it never felt like that, spacious, very comfortable. We will really be back, very organized and understanding hosts, who respond quickly and resolve.

Un lugar maravilloso, propiedad impecable con todo lo necesario y más. Éramos un grupo grande y nunca se sintió así, amplio, muy cómodo. Realmente volveremos, anfitriones muy organizados y comprensivos, que responden rápido y resuelven.

I enjoyed the property.  There was some dirty towels and bedsheets. No beach towels available. I didnt like that there is only one bathroom in the main house. Overall the property was really nice.  The pool and the view were beautiful.

The drive up was rough. The view is absolutely beautiful, the home look just like the pictures very refreshing. However the water pressure not so great. Jasmin was very helpful. I noticed they have a lot of things for kids. I didn’t get housekeeping everyday only when I requested they couldn’t come until the next day and the infinity pool completely stopped after the lights went out.

Casa Serendida was perfect for our family vacation. Jasmine and Daniel were amazing. Jasmine was so helpful - she helped us connect with a driver and with booking tours! Daniel was proactive and responds quickly. The home was absolutely perfect! We loved the pool, the scenery, and all of the animals that visited (birds, monkeys, a cat, so many beautiful butterflies). The drive was scenic but there’s a flowing stream of water before you get up the mountain (likely because it’s rainy season) so that was a little rough to get used to- definitely recommend a 4x4. Plenty to do out in town too which is only a 15 or so minute drive. The tours were awesome and so was the food. jaco homes provided us with food recommendations that we checked out and they were all great (Zona K, puddle fish, amancio’s). Overall would definitely recommend :)

Daniel the groundskeeper to the property was phenomenal! A great help and truly insightful towards activities food beaches etc. he helped book a majority of our rides. Came to the property to look after stuff as soon as there was a problem and just was overall super kind ! He is the reason it gets 5 stars. The property is beautiful and matched the photos well. None of the bathrooms have AC. When using the toilets you cannot flush toilet paper which is different.. I still Highly recommend besides those things! Also the hill the air bnb is on is a challenge and the rides will rack up cost wise :(

I love this place and will remember it forever!! The hosts were extremely accommodating, helpful, and always responded quickly! The only downside is the big hike up the mountain, but the view at the top is DEFINITELY worth it. My family and I had so much fun and plenty of space.

Looks exactly like the photos, beautiful home and view! The host was very attentive and responsive!

The hosts at Jaco Homes are fantastic! Specifically, Daniel and Jasmin were so accommodating and helpful through every step of the process! The location is beautiful. It has an incredible view of Playa Hermosa and the ocean. There’s a pretty big pool and the yard is incredible. All of the bedrooms are spacious, the bathrooms were clean, and the main house has some very cool features. The only thing to be aware of here, as many others have mentioned, is the hill. It’s nearly vertical. If you’re driving, make sure the car is AWD, but you might be better off with a driver which is what we did for most of the trip. Honestly, it was a very minor hump in an otherwise amazing stay. Thank you so much to the people at Jaco Homes!

Phenomenal place to stay , host was very responsive when it came to certain issues that we had , it was a bit tough driving up the place since it was on a hill but eventually got used to it as the days passed by , about a 15-20 minute drive from Jaco beach and the nighlife area , would highly recommend, but make sure you do rent a sturdy 4x4 vehicle, as the roads to travel are a bit rough . Overall a great location and stay , would do again if i come back to visit Costa Rica

What a great experience for my friend’s bachelor party staycation. Beautiful villa exactly like the pictures. As other reviews say you do need a 4x4 because the drive can be a little intimidating at first as it’s little  off-roading and house is on top of the mountain. Very private, very clean beautiful scenery. Was a little issues towards the end with some amenities but it was still worth it. Thank you Jasmine and Daniel for being wonderful hosts!

This AirBnB is perfect if you are looking for a secluded place to relax, but close to local amenities.  My family and I felt right at home and were given some awesome recommendations that made our stay memorable.  Highly recommend this place.  Look forward to returning!

Beautiful home with spectacular views!  The pool, outdoor spaces and bbq area just added to the overall comfort of the home.

Great place to stay, extremely private and beautiful. The house is located on the hill so you will need a good car to get there and move around. Our diesel mini-van made it with ease but the location could be challenging for a smaller vehicles. Plenty of AC units that managed the heat well: two in the living room, and one in each bedroom. The main house has only one shared bathroom and two master bedrooms, however there is an additional bathrooms by the pool. There is an isolated lower lever bedroom with kitchen and full bathroom .There is also an additional guest house with one bedroom and two bathrooms, although without a kitchen. Kids loved the attic floor filled with toys and games. Kitchens are clean, functional, and well stocked. Lots of glassware and plasticware for the pool. Pool is awesome, Alexa by the pool is a great find for a hands-free music!

An amazing view, the pool area is beautiful. Daniel was very friendly, left us fruits and some flowers. Very grateful, we will be back!

Una vista increíble, el área de la alberca es preciosa. Daniel muy amable nos dejó frutas y unas flores. Muy agradecidos, volveremos!

Spectacular house with amazing views (and it doesn't take 4x4 to get there)… suitable for kids and family. We had a situation with the water (force majeure) but Carlos and team helped us right away. The owners, Daniel and Hillary left us a nice welcome touch. We spent the 1st birthday of our little girl with friends. Pd: Only daily housekeeping service does not work holidays or weekends. We hope to come back soon!!

Espectacular casa con vistas increíbles (y no se necesita 4x4 para llegar)… apto para niños y familia. Tuvimos una situación con el agua (de fuerza mayor) pero Carlos y equipo nos ayudaron de inmediato. Los dueños, Daniel y Hillary nos dejaron un lindo detalle de bienvenida. Pasamos el cumple de 1er año de nuestra hijita con amigos. Pd: Solo el servicio diario de limpieza no funciona feriados o fines de semana. Esperamos volver pronto!!

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The house is clean, well equipped and comfortable. Currently, the four bedrooms are non-masters, but only two are located together, so may be difficult for parents with small children. The master casita is not part of the rental. The apartment in the basement was a little damp smelling and separate from the rest of the house. We only used the two bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bathroom because we wanted our kids close. The fourth bedroom is in a separate building. Perfect set up for adults traveling together. My only concern with the house is very low water pressure and the HILL. The hill is the steepest I’ve ever driven. It is very intimidating. We did get used to it and I did run it every day for an excellent work out. We would rent this place again. Daniel and Hillary are very sweet. We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet with lots of wildlife around.

Our family had an incredible vacation. The view from the home was breathtaking, and the gorgeous infinity pool was a hit with our daughters.  Everything felt private and secure. We would love to come back again!

Absolutely beautiful location, with a stunning view. The infinity pool was made with salt water, and somehow always seemed to be the perfect temperature. Daniel who showed us around was hospitable. The main dining room and tv area was well lit, clean, and bright, and the bedrooms were comfortable. The showers worked great. We ended up only using one of the buildings due to our family size, but our stay was brilliant. Only downside was the slightly difficult ride up, but that was  overshadowed by how comfortable the rest of the property was. All in all a great  stay.

Spacious space, quite large and comfortable. Well-equipped houses with a spectacular view!!!

Espacio amplio, bastante grande y cómodo. Casas bastante equipadas con una vista espectacular!!!

Fue todo un placer poder contar con tu presencia y la de tu familia en nuestra casa. Esperamos poder hospedarlos nuevamente en cualquiera de nuestros otros Airbnbs y que puedan experimentar una estadía igual de placentera.

This home and the amazing views were even better in person. It's very secure with a locked gate and completely private. We did not see the owner or anyone else come on to the property while we were there. It is about a 10 minute drive away from town, 20 minutes to Jaco Beach. You cannot see any other houses from this property, just green hills and Ocean view. Feels very VIP. We saw Toucans, monkeys, and parrots while hanging out at the pool. The house feels like it was just built. The management company was very responsive to my messages and included a list of restaurants in the area.

Carlos was a great host. Always available and attentive and was able to get us a few things that came up during the stay we needed help with. Couldn’t have asked for a better place.

Carlos and the team at Jaco Home's treated us great and communicated very well throughout our entire stay.  Beautiful home, great location, solid restaurant recommendations, and incredible weather made for a great trip to Costa Rica.  Will definitely be back and plan on using Jaco Homes for all of our Costa Rica needs going forward!

Jasmin and Carlos were amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect! The home is definitely the most beautiful I’ve ever seen in this area, not only the home but the private surroundings and the view. The monkeys in the morning and the beautiful jungle surrounding the home. Jaco homes hosts the best houses in the area, if you’re looking for a lush, beautiful and pristine experience, I definitely recommend jaco homes for all your needs. They’re locals and know the best of everything around 🙏🏼

The home is beautiful and secluded but still just 20/30 minutes away to town! So much wildlife to see and the breathtaking views

The property is spectacular, and in pristine condition. Spacious, comfortable, the pool is very clean. Really a beautiful house, it's worth to come back to.

La propiedad es espectacular, y en perfectas condiciones. Amplia, cómoda, la piscina bien limpia. Realmente una casa preciosa, vale la pena volver.

Excellent place to be with family and/or friends, spacious, clean and with everything you need to have an excellent experience.

Excelente lugar para estar con familia y/o amigos, amplio, limpio y con todo lo necesario para tener una experiencia excelente.

I love the place! It's spacious, perfect for family or friends with family or friends. The house consists of 5 rooms and 5 bathrooms,  the layout makes it feel quite private. The infinity pool is spectacular, and the sunsets are wonderful; we were also lucky enough to have a herd of monkeys, who approached us and we were able to feed them. Carlos, our  host, was very friendly and always attentive to our needs. I would definitely go back a thousand and a time!!!

Me encanto el lugar! Es amplia, perfecta para ir en familia o con varios amigos. La casa consta de 5 cuartos y 5 baños,  la distribución hace que se sienta bastante privado. La piscina sin fin es espectacular, y los atardeceres maravillosos; ademas tuvimos la suerte de tener la visita de una manada de monos, que se nos acercaron y pudimos darles de comer. Carlos, nuestro  anfitrión, fue muy amigable y siempre estuvo atento a nuestras necesidades. Definitivamente volvería mil y un veces!!!

The house is beautiful, very spacious and comfortable. Carlos is a great host, concerned about everything and attentive to anything we needed. We had doubts about not having reviews but the house is starting on airbnb and it was definitely a success to book it. You can go without any fear. Everything is spectacular, the house, the view, the pool, everything...

La casa es preciosa, muy amplia y cómoda. Carlos es un excelente anfitrión, preocupado por todo y atento a cualquier cosa que necesitáramos. Teniamos duda por no tener reseñas pero la casa está iniciando en airbnb y sin duda fue un éxito reservarla. Pueden ir sin ningún temor todo es espectacular, la casa, la vista, la piscina, todo...

A spectacular place, totally recommended! The place is spectacular, the house, pool areas, bbq area, terraces, jungle surrounding the place, view, everything is wonderful. Upon arrival we had the pleasant surprise that it is even more beautiful than what can be seen in photos. The place is spacious, super comfortable and very clean. Allow the group to have a great time in the various social areas they own. We were all delighted with the place and want to visit again. Carlos' attention was excellent and this is also very important to make hosting a success. All the spaces of the house are spacious and comfortable, it has 2 fully equipped kitchen areas that are integrated with the living room and facilitate the space to enjoy as a group. In addition, it has a bbq area next to the pool, with plenty of convenience to use the grill, bar, benches, pile and full bathroom. The furniture, armchairs, terrace furniture and beds are very comfortable and clean.

Un lugar espectacular, totalmente recomendado! El lugar es espectacular, la casa, las áreas de piscina, la zona bbq, las terrazas, la selva que rodea el lugar, la vista, todo es maravilloso. Al llegar tuvimos la agradable sorpresa de que es incluso más bonito de lo que se logra apreciar en fotos. El lugar es amplio, súper cómodo y muy limpio. Permite al grupo pasarla muy bien en las diversas áreas sociales que posee. Todos quedamos encantados con el lugar y queremos volver a visitarlo. La atención de Carlos fue excelente y esto también es muy importante para que el hospedaje sea un éxito. Todos los espacios de la casa son amplios y cómodos, posee 2 áreas de cocina totalmente equipadas que se integran con la sala y facilitan el espacio para disfrutar en grupo. Además, posee una zona bbq al lado de la piscina, con mucha comodidad para utilizar la parrilla, barra, bancos, pila y baño completo.
