About this house rental
Enjoy Morning visits from howler monkeys, beautiful birds and iguanas while drinking your coffee. Be mesmerized by turtles coming out to nest on the beach. Learn to surf on one of the best beaches in the world. Watch the most spectacular sunset every night. Enjoy leisurely walks and search for sea shells on an endless beach. Relax with a book in the shade by the pool while the kids play endless games of Marco Polo. You can do it all when you stay at Casa Hermosa.
Casa Hermosa is located in the exclusive gated community of Palm Beach Estates in Playa Grande. Playa Grande, which is named one of the top 10 in the World by Travel and Leisure in 2013, is located immediately north of the beach community of Tamarindo and is considered one of the best surfing beaches in the world. It is also famous as a major nesting site for the highly endangered leatherback sea turtle, the largest reptile on Earth. The house is ideally located on the southern end of the 3 kilometer beach, less than 200 meters from the water and within the sound of the crashing surf.
The Spanish styled home has been professionally decorated to reflect the natural beauty of the area and thoughtfully organized to meet all your needs. The 3000 sq. ft home has 4 bedrooms (1 King, 2 Queen beds and 4 bunk beds) and 4 full bathrooms and can comfortably accommodate 10-12 people. The house has been recently renovated with new furniture, entertainment center and decorations.
The front room is a casual space and perfect for kids of all ages to gather, watch movies, and play games. The front room can be opened up to connect with the great room, providing a spacious place for everyone to gather but still provide cozy areas to meet everyone’s needs. In the great room, you will find an entertainment center, including a new 60” flat screen TV, DVD player and music system for MP3 players, high speed WiFi internet. The gourmet kitchen is beautifully laid out with granite counters, breakfast bar, a full stainless steel freezer and refrigerator, European gas stove, microwave oven, dishwasher, and custom cabinets. This kitchen is fully stocked for all occasions, whether that’s for a party of two or ten.
The sliding doors in the great room open out to a large outside patio, private pool and garden. You can enjoy breakfast or evening drinks while the beautiful birds visit the garden. The pool provides a refreshing oasis after a hot day of excursions and a wonderful place to gather and play.
The master bedroom, with high vaulted ceiling and wrap around patio is a perfect place to find serenity. There is also a small work area, with a desk where you can catch up with work if needed. Additional flat screen TV, dvd, music system and a comfortable couch makes the master bedroom a suite on its own. With WiFi and free phone calls to the U.S., you can set up a home office and telecommute. The iron-gated porch outside the master bedroom is set up to give you some peace and shade throughout the day.
There are two other bedrooms with queen size beds (with memory foam pads) and full bathrooms. The fourth bedroom is set up with 4 bunk beds. All bedrooms have ample storage space and air conditioning.

We had a wonderful time at Casa Hermosa. Dawn and Victor were fantastic, and arranged everything from excursions to dinner reservations. Take Dan’s recommendations for everything, they were all spot on! Restaurants were an easy walk and cafe Mar Azul was the highlight. Would also recommend the coffee at Café Conta and the yoga with Liz. We got a wonderful dose of Pura Vida, and are trying to bring it back home with us so the memories stay forever.

I can’t say enough about Dawn and these fantastic accommodations. We had such an incredible time. More than enough space, perfectly situated, clean and comfortable. I’ve been to CR several times and we will most certainly return to this home! Dawn was so helpful and made for such an incredible time. Thank you!

Pura Vida! Between the property, the pool, the neighborhood and of course Dawn - we absolutely loved Casa Hermosa and everything about it. We could be at the beach in less than a 5 min walk, we saw all kinds of birds, a few monkeys and ate at all of the restaurants in the community at least once. Playa Grande beach has the best sunsets, surfing, and is an easy boat ride into Tamarindo for shopping and exploring. The house was very clean, the services (cleaning, gardening, pool, and meal at the house) were top notch. We loved all of the people that helped make our trip filled with amazing food, culture, relationship building, and pure relaxation.

My family of 5 stayed at Casa Hermosa recently and had the best week! Dawn, the property manager, was amazing throughout our stay. She contacted us in advance to ask if we needed groceries, excursions set up, etc, and then upon arrival, she made sure we had everything we needed for a great week. We arrived early and Dawn made sure we were taken care of until we could check-in to the house.
The house was clean and well equipped - just needs a new coffee maker : ) During our stay, the house cleaners came twice to tidy up (even did our laundry), and the pool was tended to just about each morning. While we had asked for a few groceries, we ended up eating just about every meal next door at Cafe Mar Azul. Simply the best food and kindest people around!
Dawn arranged two day trips for us and everything was seamless. Transportation picked us up/dropped us back at the house so we didn't have to worry about finding our way.
Casa Hermosa was perfect and this area of Playa Grande is the best! We will be back soon!

We had to deal with some unfortunate issues while staying at Casa Hermosa in Playa Grande. 2 out of the 4 nights we were there, we had to deal with a warm living room due to a non functioning AC unit. The condition at check in could have been better. We found geckos on the wall of two of the bedrooms. We also found an incredibly foul odor in the main bathroom and discovered the toiled bowl and seat plastered with feces. I personally cleaned the toilet and then found I needed to also clean the pool of debris before we could use it. The house was very nice to hang out in while all the AC units were working. We were left a nice welcoming assortment of fruit, coffee, and other goodies upon arrival. The kitchen was well stocked. The property manager was helpful with local info and quick to respond to our questions. We loved the location! It was a very quick walk to the beach in a nice neighborhood.

This property was fantastic! The communication, help with navigating activities, ideas/suggestions and assistance booking restaurants from the property hosts was unbelievable! All my questions were immediately answered. The house was perfect for our group of 8 (ranging in age from 8-80 years).

The trip was great - house, beach, monkeys, everything! Dawn the house concierge was the best! Housekeeping was supposed to come during our stay and never showed. It wasn’t a big deal but would have been nice. We’d go back for sure!!

Beautiful house, tastefully decorated, impeccably clean. 3 minute walk to beach. The property manager Dawn was absolutely amazing, had beautiful flower arrangements and ceviche and guacamole waiting for us when we arrived and helped us with food/taxi/transportation during our stay. Would highly recommend this property to others.

Let me start by saying that Dawn was a hospitable and gracious host! She was exceptional in every way! I could go on and on.
The home was clean and free from bugs. It was much nicer than we had anticipated. We were welcomed with chocolates and fresh fruit. The A/C was strong! My kids loved the pool and enjoyed seeing monkeys in nearby trees in the mornings. It was a couple minute walk to the beach. SO CLOSE! It’s a great surf spot that was more kid-friendly. The more intense surf spot was in front of Taco Star, which is a few minute drive from the house.
The home is in a gated community and has a gate around it. Feels super safe and has an alarm system.
It had way more room than we needed. Plenty of space to fit another family.

We had a great family trip to beautiful Costa Rica. The house is large and comfortable with a wonderful pool to relax in and after spending the day at the beach. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and very safe. It’s just a short walk (maybe 3 minutes)to the beach and a great restaurant steps away from the house.. The property manager, Dawn, is amazing! She helped to arrange excursions, gave suggestions on where to go, and even had dinner delivered to us when we were all exhausted from a fun day of exploring. I don’t think this trip would have been as much fun if we did not have Dawn’s guidance. She also manages a surf camp and has surfboard rentals just a short walk from the house. It’s a great house and a great location!

Out first visit to Costa Rica did not disappoint! The house is located in a great location - walking distance to beach, restaurants, bars, grocery, surfboard rental and a short bike ride to wonderful surf shop -Frijoles Locos. The house is spacious and very clean.
I cannot say enough about Dawn & Victor, Property Managers.
We provided Dawn with a list before our trip and she arranged everything!!
Groceries delivered prior to our arrival, airport transfer, off shore fishing, ATV tour & snorkeling, Ziplining, Surf board rental, private cook with delicious Costa Rican foods - they are an absolutely dream to work with and made our vacation a true relaxing experience.

Incredible trip to Costa Rica! Location was safe, walk to beach, restaurants and bars, and water taxi away from Tanmarindo (larger than Playa Grande). We had 3 sets of adults and 2 kids. The fact that each family and even kids had their own bathroom was a game changer. Pool is a must and they clean it daily. Dawn, the property Manager is amazing and made any excursions and getting Covid test prior to flight and rides to airport seamless and stress less.

This was our third stay in Palm Beach Estates in the last 6 years. We chose the house for its proximity to the beach access, as surfing is our primary activity. The house is large and fairly well equipped. We did not do a ton of cooking, but what we needed was there. Pool is freshwater and lovely and there is an outdoor shower. Two outdoor tables and 4 lounge chairs made sitting outside enjoyable. House is encased in gates and even has a "caged" patio that we hose cushions looked dirty and not very inviting. Beds were memory foam and comfortable. AC and fans are more than powerful enough to keep house comfortable. Amazing meals at El Huerto, Mar Azul, Pangas on the beach in Tamarindo and Coco Loco on Flamingo beach. We rent favorite boards from Frijoles but Dawn and Victor have some nice ones at Playa Grande Surf Camp as well. Dawn and Victor were amazing hosts and the neighborhood was wonderfully friendly. Perfect place for those who are looking for a quiet escape on a beautiful beach. It is the best place to learn to surf as beach is all sand and surf is usually tame.

My family has stayed in Playa Grande many times, but this was our first time at Casa Hermosa. The house is everything we hoped for and more. Victor is an excellent on-site host. Linda, the owner, responded to all our questions even when she was traveling out of the country. We hope to be back soon!

The property was beautiful and fit perfect for my family. The location was a bit challenging to get to with the bumpy dirt roads but once there, it was simply amazing. The beach was just across the street and never crowded with great waves and tons of shells. Cafe Mar Azul was just down the street with amazing food at decent prices. The surf shop was also close and easy to rent surf boards from. Dawn and Victor who the manage the property and run/own the cafe and surf shop were incredible and so accommodating! I have zero complaints. My whole family enjoyed our stay and hope to return.
If you choose this property, you will not be disappointed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Hermosa. The house was large and clean. There were plenty of spaces to relax in the house as well as outside. Our daughters loved the pool. We enjoyed the large kitchen which was well stocked. One of the best perks of Casa Hermosa was the property manager, Victor, and his wife, Dawn. They are the owners of Cafe Mar Azul which is right down the road and it is an excellent spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Dawn was also helpful in arranging an excursion to Arenal which was a highlight of our trip. We are already looking forward to staying here again. We would highly recommend staying at this house.

We spent a week here and loved it. The pool was our favorite place to hang out together. The beach is a 3 minute walk, and the water taxi to Tamarindo was just at the end of the beach. Victor and Dawn were so helpful with booking excursions, renting surf boards, in home massages and anything else we needed. I would recommend this house for anyone staying in Playa Grande.

The house is a very comfortable property with several rooms to enjoy company and is very near a wonderful beach
