I booked this property to celebrate my 50th birthday with friends & family and we were not disappointed! The property is about 2hrs away from SJO Airport so prepare for the journey but it’s all worth it! The sunset alone is worth the drive! The property is nestled right on the black sand beach just outside of Jaco. The staff and owner are extremely helpful with all your needs; from decorating for your theme parties to washing your clothes after the ATV ride! Julie was so helpful setting up transportation for us no matter what we wanted or where we went. The only drawback was all the rooms aren’t technically under one roof. All except the top floor for have external doors to enter from the outside. Each room as at least 2 beds and most have fridges and microwaves. Each room has its own bathroom which was great! The top floor is a separate 3bdrm apt with living room, kitchen and dining area. No biggie for us. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you Julie for helping make my 50th birthday the best one yet!

Our group just stayed 9 nights at the Hermosa Beach House. Julie was beyond helpful dealing with everyone’s questions and helping us book our excursions/transportation/chef. The house crew were so nice and go above and beyond. The grounds were always well maintained. We saw a turtle laying eggs the first night and a hatchling the last night. We will definitely be back to HBH!

We had an incredible time at this fantastic beach house! The cleanliness was top-notch, and the comfortable sheets and pillows made our stay comfortable. Being just steps away from the beach and a short stroll to a beach bar with fresh ceviche was a dream. The sense of safety with someone always on the property was reassuring, including overnights. Julie, our host, was simply amazing, catering to all our needs and ensuring our trip was flawless. Our group hasn't stopped raving about this vacation—it was truly the best! Highly recommend this place for an unforgettable vacation.

We were so grateful to stay at Hermosa Beach House. The property is truly picturesque. Our family of 20 (ages 3-75) spent most of the time at the common area around the pool. Pool has a large shallow area for little ones, plenty of space for big kids and adults. Picnic tables and kitchen by pool make it easy to prepare and serve meals to a large crowd and enjoy the view. We used a chef several times and we’re very pleased with the meals. The hotel staff was so kind and kept the place spotless. Special thanks to Hayley for all her help fielding questions and securing transportation and excursions. Several delicious restaurants within walking distance. Beach area has amazing sand and surf but not safe for littles due to rip tide and caliber of waves. Overall lovely stay. We plan on returning again soon!

Words can not describe the care and thoughtfulness we received from Julie and her staff! This was the trip of a lifetime for most of our guests! From the very beginning of booking Julie was very present and attentive to us and was constantly checking in to see if we had any questions or special requests. Not only was she a wealth of information but her staff was completely on the same page. Shout out to Haley and Ivan for dealing with our groups craziness and never batting an eye! We are a fun group but not the easiest at times. I would stay with Julie and her staff for ANY large event you have or just for fun. You will receive 5 STAR service at Playa Hermosa Hotel. Sending Love to Julie and the staff <3

Our family enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space for larger gatherings. The third floor has a nice kitchen layout where we able to spend lots of time together. We enjoyed massages and had a yoga instructor come to the home. What a lovely stay. Thank you.

Great location Everything went smooth Good family time

We booked the Hermosa Beach House a combined bachelor/bachelorette party (20 adults), and we were absolutely blown away. Julie and her staff were so accommodating and friendly and the property was even more stunning in person! We even had a few last minute requests that Julie handled with ease, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. Our stay was so special, we’d all come back in a heart beat! Thank you Julie!!!

My husband & I rented the entire beach house hotel for our wedding week and we are so happy we did. Our friends and family stayed here and loved the place! The rooms we’re comfortable, Julie was very accommodating and helpful, the pool area and beach view was a dream! Our wedding ceremony was magical. This place is the perfect setup for an event or a much needed relaxing vacation. The area is peaceful with walkable restaurants, and close enough to Jaco if you want more options. We can’t wait to return in the future!

This spot is perfect for big groups and any event (wedding, reunion, etc.). The house is beautiful, the pool right next to the beach and outdoor kitchen area are amazing for all day hang outs. Waves are great out front and there are a bunch of other peaks south to surf. The staff are awesome and ready to help with whatever you need (shuttles, DJ’s, photographers). Super clean and you can’t beat the location, we’ll be back with everyone again very soon, thank you guys!

This is one of the best vacation homes I have ever rented! The outdoor space is perfect with plenty of covered spaces, shade, and sunshine. The pool is huge! And has plenty of shelfs to sit on and enjoy your cocktail. Location is great especially for a big group, we didn’t rent a car and had no problem getting around. Ubers are cheap and Jaco is only a $5-7 ride. There are a number of restaurants within walking distance. Julie, the owner, clearly cares about her property and that her guests have a great time. She has tons of suggestions for activities and food. The monkey tour is awesome! There’s a little store a short walk away that has the essentials. We try to go somewhere different every year but I would come back here in a heartbeat! Julie thanks so much for a wonderful vacation, you made it really special!

The property was beautiful and the pool was perfect for kids ranging in age from 3 to 14. Julie is very knowledgeable about activities and was beyond helpful with getting things set up.

Julie was an amazing hostess including her family! She helped with everything she could, always readily available for assistance and quite honestly went above and beyond on numerous occasions. The HBH staff were helpful and polite. By the end of the week it felt like family. We opted to have ol2 of our daily meals prepared for a no nonsense vacation and every meal was outstanding Plenty of options for people and even took into account specific allergies and remembered it as well! I am supposed to go to aruba next year but I'm ready to go back to Costa Rica! Jaco is a distance from volcanoes and such but julie arranged transfers (edgar) was an amazing driver for numerous points of our trip! Glvery informative, kind and funny..... staff would clean rooms and do laundry whenever we requested but could be done daily just explain your needs when you get there. You won't find a better view than this house, right on the beach with beautiful pool. You'll spend Ostrowski of your time near tue pool though. If you have questions message julie on vrbo and you'll have response quickly. She makes planning a vacation for a large group a whole lot easier!

Right on the beach, large pool, comfortable rooms, dedicated staff - what more could you want. Meals can be optionally prepared by the staff (they have a standard fee) - or you can go out to Jaco or area restaurants - lots of options. We did both & it worked great. Staff is very flexible regarding meal hours/days - they accommodated a very early breakfast when we needed. Can't thank them enough.

The setting is stunning! Watching the surfers was fun. The only issue we had was an unrepaired air conditioner unit in one of the rooms. Definitely would stay there again.

We stayed at Hermosa Beach House for my fiancé and i’s combined bachelor/bachelorette trip. This was one of the best vacations I’ve been on. Not only is the property right on the beach, Julie and her crew are amazing. Julie helped us with scheduling tours, food, yoga, and more. She is extremely nice, welcoming and willing to help you with anything you need. The rooms were perfect, clean and spacious. Each room had their own refrigerator and bathroom. The pool is huge and has ocean views. Yoga classes were right on the property and amazing. Highly recommend staying here and we will be back forsure!

We had the best time at Hermosa Beach House. The property is beautiful and clean. The pool is HUGE! Much bigger than expected. The “shelf” was a huge hit with our younger ones who didn’t always want to have to swim, they could sit and play. The beach is gorgeous, the waves are so much fun to watch. Sitting in the hot tub and hearing the waves crashing was bliss. A walk down the beach will take you to cliffs and rocks that you’ll want to take tons of photos of. Really beautiful. We had a large group of all ages and there was something for everyone here. Adults enjoyed coffee on the beach each morning. By the pool there is a covered patio with a gorgeous table that seats at least 16. And plenty of picnic tables for the others. The outdoor yoga studio was a great, quiet place to stretch and work out. The property is huge. Even with so many people, we never felt we were on top of each other. There are groupings of comfortable seating everywhere. Whether you are on the beach by the water, or on the shaded sand under the trees there are options for groups to sit in sun or shade all over. By the pool, around the rooms, etc. The rooms were so large and clean! Most rooms have at least 2 beds. Some rooms are perfect for kids with the bunk and double bed. Sometimes kids rooms at rentals are not the best (old furniture, etc) but these rooms are gorgeous. Perfect for kids or adults. Rooms upstairs often had separate sitting areas with a bedroom- so it was like a little apartment or two rooms really. The AC was super cold and worked quickly. I can’t say enough good things about the staff. They have been working for Julie at Hermosa Beach House for 15+ years, which says a lot. Will, the maintenance person arrives at 6am and cleans the whole outdoor space. When you wake up each morning it’s as pristine as when you first arrived. The staff put all of the cushions away each night and Will sets them out each morning so they are always dry and comfortable. The pool deck was cleaned every time we left the house, morning, night, etc. The front desk staff are so nice and helpful. Housekeepers are amazing. The most incredible part was that you rarely actually see them working. It’s like magic. I’m not sure how they get everything done but it feels like they are not even there. I can’t say enough good things about the host, Julie. She was so helpful and kind and made our stay amazing, helping us with shuttles, excursions. We made the most of our stay!

What a view! Waking up to the beach and overseeing the waves. Huge pool, great for large gatherings with a great outdoor dining table that fits all 13 of us. The outside patio was amazing. Very close to everything like zip lining, downtown Jaco, grocery stores, restaurants, and bars. The owners, Julie & Jay was super nice and very responsive to all of our needs and requests.

Great time, Julie was extremely helpful with the entire process. 10/10

Pool and beach were wonderful! The common kitchen could use a little deep cleaning. Beds were hard and rooms could use some TLC.

Lovely property located in a neighborhood. Authentic and accessible to Jaco and other areas. The staff was so very helpful and friendly. The surf was rough and not appropriate for young ones but the backyard pool easily made up for it. Restaurants in walking distance and again "authentic". Hired a cook for a few evenings and that was delightful. Outdoor kitchen and lots to do with assistance from staff and owner. This was a great family vacation.

Beautiful property with an amazing view of the ocean. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the property. Staff and Owner were very responsive and helpful. Close to some great restaurants and different activities. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the area.

The property is everything that we hoped for! Beach front with amazing views, great service, great location. Julie (the owner) was very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Perfect for family getaways! When I go back, this is where I will be staying!

We had this entire property for our family Room to spread put in the rooms so that we used one of the suite like rooms for our Christmas exchange Nice plus that we used the kitchen for making more than just cereal for breakfast although the rooms lacked closet area we put our week of clothes on the extra beds in the room After our daily excursions the poolside was lovely as was the beach The chef recommended for the meals we catered in was really great Linda R December 2018
