About this house rental

Welcome to the luxurious Casa Barracuda, a gorgeous 3 bedroom vacation rental home on 1/3 acre, less than 30 steps to the soft sands & popular surf of Playa Hermosa de Garabito-Puntarenas, Costa Rica.
UPDATE: JUNE 20, 2024: We are now in the "green season" until Nov.15th, so if its your 1st time flying into Costa Rica, it's better to arrive before 4pm if you wish to drive to the beach, & you aren't familiar with Hwy 27. OR take a taxi/Uber direct to Playa Hermosa, & rent a car in Jaco!
Across from SJO Airport are 4 quality hotels including Marriott Fairfield & Holiday Inn Express! We want you to enjoy the ride here!

This Playa Hermosa is famous for its relaxing vibe yet
you're only 10 minutes away from the multi-services & excitement of Jaco. This area is not only extremely popular with families & single surfers, but lately has become the romantic destination for weddings, honeymoons and later, babymoons!
You’ll love the modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, conveniences you’ll love, lots of granite counter tops, a Whirlpool double door refri with icemaker, even a dishwasher! The custom made CR hardwood kitchen cabinets are complemented with a granite breakfast bar with hardwood stools, facing the chef. The laundry with full size washer and dryer is right next to the kitchen and can be closed off with a folding curtain when desired.
The great room is truly great thanks to its double sliding glass doors providing nice ocean views from every angle. There’s excellent wireless high speed internet & the Samsung 50” HD TV, has streaming options + Blu-ray/DVD player. The glass-top dining table seats up to 8 guests with nicely cushioned chairs.
There are 2 overstuffed chairs, a comfy three-seat sofa, all with views of the free form enchanting private pool. Try the exercise bike we have, next to the window overlooking the outside table and pool area!
Once outside you’ll be surrounded by beautiful landscaping with tall palm & almond trees that will attract noisy colorful macaws, as the friendly iguanas will entertain you as they fight over your table scraps & fruit skins. -The manicured front & back yards (1/3 acre!) allow for all kinds of fun or privacy and soon the fruit trees will deliver their goods!

Casa Barracuda’s large-covered terrace with an upstairs pool deck allows you fantastic views where you can enjoy the sun and sounds of the sea either on a hammock or the many comfortable seating options. An outdoor table for four allows for alfresco dining. Grill that filet of the day on the stainless steel gas grill facing the ocean!
This 2800 sq ft spacious home has three bedrooms with a master bedroom featuring an excellent king size bed with 100% cotton sheets, fine pillows, closet with wall safe, and ensuite bathroom with combination shower and tub.
The two other bedrooms have very nice Queen beds and one Twin bed in each, and they both are next to a nice bathroom with shower.
Although Playa Hermosa (‘Beautiful Beach’) is a world-famous surfing beach and in May 2022 was named Central America’s first World Surf Reserve, you don’t have to be a surfer to love this beach.
I lived nearby for 18 years, and loved walking this beach at a nice pace taking in the sights & sounds, especially at low tide, (best time for families w/ kids!)
Sometimes a friend would pass me by doing his speed walks & I’d smile knowing he’s going too fast to see the daily treasures. Usually you won’t see many people on the beach like you would in Jaco, but when there’s great waves, the surfers come!
Our sunsets are world famous, from either our Casa Barracuda 2nd floor Deck, or walk north to our favorite beachfront restaurant, Vida Hermosa, about 25 minutes away. The surf break is one of the most consistent in Central America, and well known among surfers, who participate in lots of local competitions. The best surfing breaks occur almost the same time that Olive Ridley sea turtles come to lay their eggs! From June to Nov. https://youtu.be/mFeuEAGljx8

Spent a week in July 2024 with my wife and two teenage kids. The house is beautiful. The location is great (you cross the street and you are on the beach). Jeff, the co-host was extremely helpful in recommending things to do. Overall, great experience.

We loved our family trip at this place! Everything was clean and handy. Jeff was a great host and very communicative! The house was east to find and really appreciated the overnight guard outside. Felt very safe and private. 5/5

Property exactly as described. Location is ideal for surfers who want to get away from the main peak and enjoy the same waves with fewer in the water. Local property manager very helpful and ultra-responsive. We'll be back!

This was our first time to Costa Rica and WOW, what an experience!! We were well informed on how to get to the property from San Jose, so we had no issues driving. The house itself is stunning and has every amenity you could want. Spacious, clean as a whistle, AC when you need it, perfect size pool, and breathtaking views from the balcony. The property manager was incredibly communicative and helpful, and had fantastic recommendations on things to do, places to eat, and even found someone local to fix my phone! When we weren't relaxing in the pool or having fun in the waves, we were riding horses on the beach, taking waterfall tours, shopping, and eating the most delicious food. There is no doubt we will be back!

We had wonderful time at Casa Barracuda. The house and location were incredible. Right on the beach with beautiful sunsets and very short walk on beach to restaurants.

What a beautiful property! Right across from the black sandy beach. Amazing view and sunset. Our host Jeff, had the fridge full of food and drinks upon our arrival. Jeff helped us plan our activities and transportation to the airport. Our family/ friend had such a relaxing stay. The only thing I would recommend is that the property provided shampoo and conditioner, one less thing I would have to pack.
