We had the best time. All of Kelies’s recommendations were absolutely the best and so helpful! Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone coming to Costa Rica!

This place is everything described and more. Beautiful expansive views. Amazing sunrise over the mountain. Fresh eggs and best fruit I’ve ever eaten! Very clean , good beds and linens. Kelie was awesome - very available by text anytime, booked our excursions for us and suggested places to eat. She even checked up on us to make sure we made it home afterwards - zip line, ATVs, white water rafting (my favorite) and Tortuga Island day trip. Such a great vacation place. I will go back!

With so many rental properties and locations in Costa Rica, it can be overwhelming to decide. The good news is you have found the best listing and don't need to keep searching. The house itself is nice, well kept with modern amenities. It sits up high on a quiet hillside, inside a gated entrance. The views are amazing, with lots of great bird sittings while sitting on the deck. What sets this property apart is the hostess Kelie. She is amazing. There are so much to do and see in the area that it is impossible to know what is worthwhile and what is a tourist trap. Kelie provides lots of local information, including great restaurant recommendations. She recommends activities, and will set up reservations for you while also getting a discount. She knows the best places to go and people to take you around. Inevitably some of your plans will fall apart due to weather or other unforeseen events - Kelie helps take care of all of that and rebook other activities on short notice, all with a positive attitude. Even with all she offers in terms of help, she also is very mindful to leave you alone to enjoy your vacation. We had an amazing vacation and highly recommend it to anyone else.

We had a wonderful stay at LA Casita amazing views, spacious and had everything we needed. Kelie was awesome with communication and helping us book tours as well as transportation to/from airport. She even provided fresh fruit and eggs for us. We had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave.

La Casita and its host, Kelie, where the foundation of our wonderful trip to Costa Rica. Kelie was wonderful at helping us pre-plan our adventures ( ATV ride, white water rafting, Tortuga Island tour, etc..). She also provided great advice when she suggested that we use Eric's Transportation to her home instead of renting a car at the airport. This way we could just rent a car in Jaco instead of the stress of renting near the airport. La Casita was a wonderful little place to relax after an eventful day and the view from the plunge pool was amazing. We will recommend this home to our friends and hopefully we will be back again some day.

With great morning sunrise views, this property is well put together. Great house with everything that we needed. There is a good view of the ocean, especially while relaxing in the plunge pool. We watched the Toucans, Macaws and other cool birds from the deck. Kellie was very helpful in providing tips on good restaurants and beaches.

Kelie has created the amazing La Casita, in this spectular setting, overlooking Playa Hermosa, where sunrises rival sunsets, howler monkeys can be heard (and occasionally spotted) in the trees above and toucans and macaws fill the skies. This is heaven and Kelie is the perfect host.

This vacation rental is built with privacy and beautiful views in mind. It exceeded our expectations. The views from the patio are outstanding. Kelie has thought of everything, even providing binoculars for bird watching. We spent 4 wonderful days relaxing and exploring and left wishing we had stayed longer. Kelie was a thoughtful and caring host and her helpful suggestions made the trip even more enjoyable. Thanks so much! We will be back.

Spent 8 days here and it was the best Vrbo we've ever had. The view over the hills, fields and ocean is amazing. Toucans and scarlet macaws fly past. The casita is very clean, well appointed and comfortable. We spent most of our time lounging on the deck or in the plunge pool when we weren't at one of the nearby beaches. Kelie is a superb host and we couldn't have had a better time.

Property was exactly what we thought it would be and completely met and exceeded our expectations! Wonderful location, great views, very well equipped and the host was fantastic to work with. Hope to stay here again!

Have you ever experienced that moment in your life when you simply need to get away? Calendar happens to be open, no plans for the week or weekend, no expectations per say, not even a clue how things will work out…and all of a sudden, things align so much so that you are able to just go. This was my experience a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea how I crossed paths with this beautiful property, but from the moment I saw it, it spoke to me—so I booked it. As a solo traveler, first time in Costa Rica I knew nothing. I immediately messaged the host and she literally provided me with every single detail needed for this trip to be successful. I had not one issue with anything and Kelie went above and beyond to make sure every detail of my experience was fulfilling. From providing access to the internet for an important zoom meeting that needed to happen (with outages) to knowing everyone in the town to give you what you need….I was taken care of immensely. Her spirit and love for hosting is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed. I’m honored to have gotten the opportunity to stay at such a beautiful and serene place. The view is amazing and the energy is exactly what you need if you’re you desire to relax and every be romantic. All I did was sleep, get pampered with massage, do yoga and bum on the beach. And I returned home renewed in a special kinda way. Thank you Kelie for “being.” I am truly grateful.

La Casita is exactly as described in the listing: gorgeous, secluded, and serene. As a first-time visitor to Costa Rica, la casita provided the epitome of what this grand land has to offer. Every morning with a cup of Kelie’s coffee, I enjoyed the sunrise and watched the local birds, including a pair of macaws, soar by and sing their songs. After coffee, I fried up eggs from Kelie’s hens! The bed was heavenly, as was the walk-in shower and other appointments throughout the home. The dipping pool was cool and refreshing. Kelie was always available, and helpful in answering my questions. She provided tips and helped me secure safe rides to and from San Jose and around Jaco. There’s no question if you stay at la casita, you’ll be pleased!!

Book this place! You will be happy you did! The views are breathtaking and it is very peaceful. It was very clean and Kelie was responsive to all our needs. Away from the hustle and bustle yet a short ride to Playa Hermosa beach and Jaco area. Will visit again!

We loved our stay at La Casita. The house itself is beautiful, clean and well laid out for a relaxing vacation. We both loved the little pool (more like a large bathtub, really) and we spent most of our days just lounging around, reading and enjoying the view and weather. It’s also located within an easy drive from the tourist town of Jaco for those looking for a more adventurous time.

This was the prefect spot to stay. Monkeys and macaws in the "front yard". Kelie was out of town when we stayed but was still incredibly responsive when we had any questions. We've already been recommending this spot to our friends! 100% would rent La Casita again! (Go on Chino's Mangrove Tour and if you like white water rafting H2O was wonderful and Kelie can get you discounts with both companies. )

We started our honeymoon in Costa Rica at Kelie's rental house. The inside was clean and the perfect size. We even had fresh eggs waiting for us!!! The plunge pool was great to cool off in and the view from the deck is amazing. Kelie was very helpful with recommendations!

It was worth the price very nice place to go for short stay

What a find. Just where you want to be when exploring the area for hiking or finding a secluded beach. Great to wake up with the awesome view from the deck, and relax on your return.Kelie was the perfect host.Thanks

Nice view and very well equipped villa with all you need to spend some very relaxing days. Very well maintained and clean. We spend 4 nights and had a great experience with all conveniences the Casita offers, cooking, sunbathing, enjoying the view and staying at the open terrace to avoid getting out in the middle of COVID pandemic. The communication with the owner was pretty simple and she was available to make you have a great experience . Andrea and Brian onsite best friends of the owner were fantastic helping us with everything. We will return , excellent experience. Thanks !

We stayed at La Casita for 2 weeks and could not have been happier. Kelie is an absolutely wonderful host. She even had us for dinner one evening and it was delightful. When we needed reservations for excursions she booked them for us. Crocodile and monkey tour were a blast. Recommendations to visit Villa Caletas was right on the sunset there is crazy. The house itself has everything you need, we used the blender for Pina Coladas several afternoons while enjoying the dipping pool. Our bed was extremely comfortable and shower with on demand hot water excellent. Best of all the views and watching macaws fly by most afternoons was super. The house is so close to Playa Hermosa we enjoyed watching the surfing competitions on Saturday afternoons and meals at the local beach restaurants/bars. Also spent time in Jaco enjoying the local culture. We will definitely be back. If you're looking for a quite, peaceful and romantic villa this is definately the place.

La Casita is a wonderful place to stay. It is exactly like the pictures, even better. Very clean. The area is gated and secure. The view cannot be beat. We saw macaws often. Perfect for two people. Centrally located for many of the places we wanted to see. Kellie is a great host. Always available and very helpful. We hope to return.

My wife and I just stayed at Kelie's La Casita property and had a great time. The location is great with wonderful views of the beach, surrounding hills and pastures below. You are close enough to nearby towns while still being secluded in the quiet surroundings. The property is well kept and clean and very well equipped. Communication with Kelie was amazing and she even booked our zipline tour for us at a discounted rate. Very nice!! We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the Playa Hermosa/Jaco area.

My husband and I just returned from our 11-night stay at La Casita. The location and bungalow is beautiful. Safe and secure with two gates to enter. The property is exceptionally well cared for, demonstrating a real pride of ownership. The house is spotless, with all amenities you will ever need (e.g., Kelly will also offer rentals of SUPs – much less expensive than renting from beach areas). If for some reason you do require something, Kelly is quick to respond to any request. We took Kelly’s advice as far as restaurants and took her up on her offer to book excursions for us at a much-reduced rate. The location was great. We were in a quiet area, however close to many must-see sites and amenities. Kelly is an amazing hostess that goes above and beyond for her guests. We had the pleasure of attending dinner parties with other guests. Thank you, Kelly, for a wonderful time! Many great memories!

If your looking for a private hideaway with a breathtaking view, this is just the ticket. But yet located close to great beaches, bars and restaurants. Nicely supplied for a comfortable stay. Truly a paradise.

Kelie was an amazing host and had great recommendations all over the area. La casita is a lovely spot which feels clean and super safe. Such a great start to our Costa Rica adventure

As has been our experience while staying in homes managed by Kelie in Costa Rica, each visit gets better and better. This was our first stay in one of Kelie's homes and it was more than we ever thought it would be! The home was beautiful, the views breathtaking and the condition was absolutely perfect - as if we were the first couple to ever stay here! Kelie really has the right balance of gracious hostess, insightful tour guide, intuitive activity "suggester" and an innate ability to help you have a memorable experience. The home itself is perfect for a couple, including the pool sized for two! The home is located on Kelie's personal compound, safe and secure while also with close access to many local activities. Kelie arranged for a bucket list off shore fishing trip with a local guide. We had ready access to numerous beautiful beaches, with choices on activities and amenities. Everyone of her recommendations for restaurants are spot on and wonderful. If you are looking to enjoy what Costa Rica has to offer in a pampered, home like setting, this is it!
