About this house rental

Casa Espana is amazingly authentic Costa Rican. The materials and the furnishings were all made right here in Costa Rica. The artwork is incredible. There is not a better place for a family vacation. The home is even better than the pictures show. Built by Renowned builder Kelie Limehouse as her personal residence. You and your guests can really immerse yourself in the culture with the luxury of a chef to cook you local favorites.

Casa Espana is the number one property in all of Jaco / Playa Hermosa with the most bookings in the area. We offer complimentary housekeeping every day except Sunday.

Casa Espana, is 4 minutes and 25 seconds from the beach, 9 minutes from downtown Jaco and 1 hour, fifteen minutes from the San Jose (SJO) airport. It is in a small quiet, gated community called Opera Salvaje in Playa Hermosa. The house is secluded, has it's own gate, a large pool, and equipped like a luxury home in the US would be.

The main house of Casa Espana contains four bedrooms on three levels and four full bathrooms. The estate's guesthouse has three bedrooms and one bathroom.

The favorite part of this estate for every child is the beautiful and prominent swimming pool. There is a jacuzzi, pool bathroom, and a big yard.

The house is spacious, with a large open living, kitchen dining area, a banquet table for 12, and a second table for 4. There is an indoor waterfall, high-speed wireless Internet throughout, cable TV, Netflix, and cold AC throughout the entire property. You will have all the amenities of home while living in the jungles of Central America.

The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher. stove and oven, a large island, and plenty of room to cook up a storm. We have installed 5 stage reverse-osmosis water filter systems for drinking water. You won't find a better tasting, safer water anywhere.

Here are some of the activities nearby:

Zip Lining - 20 minutes to the North in Los Suenos

Horseback riding 15 minutes away

Surfing Lessons in Jaco just 9 Minutes away

Manuel Antonio National Park (guaranteed Monkies) 50 minutes to the South.

ATV Rides 9 Minutes Away

River Rafting 50 minutes to the South

Golf 20 MInutes North

SCUBA Diving

There is so much more. If there is anything you are interested in that I didn't mention, ask.

Getting Here: We are a 75-minute drive from the San Jose airport. You can rent a car from Vamos in San Jose and drive yourself. It is highway all the way. Navigate to Playa Hermosa and Casa Espana is on (Hidden by Airbnb) maps. If you aren't comfortable driving here, we can arrange transportation for you. Once you are in Jaco, we can help you get a rental car.

Is this the right place for you? I picked this area and this home very carefully. There are lots of places in Costa Rica that look good on the internet. Most of them are as beautiful as the pictures. Even though Costa Rica is a small country, it can take a long time to get from one place to another. I looked at lots of locations. Many of the areas that try to attract your tourism dollars are in the middle of nowhere. Playa Hermosa is perfect. It's minutes from Jaco but away from the chaos. You have dozens of restaurants to choose from, loads of nightlife, a fancy casino, and every activity imaginable a short ride away.. And it's all right here on the Pacific ocean.

If you have any questions about travel to Costa Rica, I am happy to answer them.

In this hacienda we host families, friends, and company get-togethers. Casa Espana is a luxury home within a gated community. It's not for bachelor parties. Only the guests registered with the guards and us at the gate are allowed on the property.

Guest access

Andrey will check you in and out. The house has electronic locks.

Interaction with guests

Andrey has lived in Jaco all his life. He knows all the best tour operators and guides. He will act as your personal concierge.

The house was the perfect size for 12 of us. Mellisa was wonderful. She decorated the house for my niece's birthday when we arrived and had the house full of groceries fror us and a special treat. She also set up the chefs who were awesome. Small problems that didn't bother us to much were the toilet didn't work in the guess house, every shower in the main house had temperature differences, some had no hot water, some had no cold water. The pool bathroom didn't work, the jets in the hot tub didn't work. The BIG PROBLEMS that made sleeping difficult was the termite and COCKROACH problem. Termites were so bad that every morning my son woke up covered in debris. I had a large cockroach run across my hand in bed and there were more in my parents bedroom. I could not sleep knowing cockroaches were climbing on me at night. We could deal with the mechanical issues but should get some sort of refund for the bugs. I ended up sleeping in long pants, long-sleeved shirt, socks and a mask so I would feel cockroaches crawling on me at night.

This was the perfect house for my family ages from 4 to 88 years old. The cleanliness exceeded our expectations'. We saw more wildlife from Casa de Espana then any of the various tours that we took. We saw macaws, toucans, Motmots, and monkeys, without leaving the neighborhood, and much more. Melissa was wonderful in helping to secure a chef for my sons' engagement party. It was spectacular. We did have one room without working A.C. and the shower in that room didn't work so my guests had to share a shower. The toilet was not working in that room when we arrived but my son in law repaired it. I read about these problems in the review, so I was not surprised just disappointed the problems had not been resolved since I read the review. The minor discomforts didn't keep us from enjoying our stay. I highly recommend staying here. If you need anything, just ask Melissa. She is most accommodating and will make your vacation stress free. Thank you Loryl for the use of your magnificent home.

A gated community close enough to Jaco we could easily Uber to restaurants, stores, etc. We felt very safe there. The pool was a big hit. And Andrey and Edgar were fantastic! Andrey planned all our activities for us and Edgar took us everywhere we wanted to go. The chef was also fantastic but we only used him one night and cooked for ourselves the rest of the time. It was a wonderful and memorable vacation in a beautiful place!

Would not stay again

The host that met with us, Andre, was amazing. He did what he could to meet our needs; however, the property needed a lot and was not okay. The property manager met our concerns by trying to gaslight us. One of the a/c were out in the main house (one in guest house but that was fixed). The one that was out was in the main living space where we gathered and she told us “I’m sure you guys are more than comfortable.” It was not comfortable. Food could not be left on counters because of the bugs. We were told this was Costa Rica and accepted it and kept the food up. But then we were met with a swarm of bugs in the master bedroom. The whole nest came alive when the rain started and left bugs all over our personal items. Could not even sleep in the beds. There were multiple leaks in the roof that leaked on the beds and floor. Again, personal items were leaked on too. The kitchen windows allowed water to come in and flooded the counter tops so much that it leaked over the floor. Other concerns that we kind of just dealt with were the fridge did not cool properly, the pool bathroom was not functional, and some of the toilets did not work (cleaning lady blamed us), the grill was not functional (the previous tenants broke this and new one was supposedly on its way from U.S.). We were never informed on all the things that were broken until we showed up and at that point, had no other choice but to stay. The house was gorgeous but with the leaks, bugs, and a/c being out, it was completely uncomfortable!!

Our stay was really good. We had some issues with the AC in guest house for 2 days. It was an inconvenience. Taken care of. Leak in downstairs bedroom for days. Was not fixed even when we left. Water pressure was not good. We dealt with it and still had a good time. Would rent again. Andrey was awesome 🤩

Pura Vida!

Wonderful week getaway at Casa de Espana. The pool was a major highlight as we hit it almost daily before venturing out for our activities. Location is great, private yet secure. Spacious house and then the added casita was a bonus--- my teenagers stayed there and loved having their own private space. Two thumbs up. Plus, Andrey, the local contact was helpful, available and a great added asset to the house. Daily housekeeping was also a nice commodity. Highly recommend!
