Carlos is an amazing host, always quick to respond to texted questions and ready with helpful recommendations. He connected us with Chef Eric who made an amazing meal for us at the house--seriously the best guacamole ever. Eric cooked the fish we caught earlier that day. We were traveling with another family and loved the common space to gather, but we also appreciated that all the bedrooms are separate, each with its own bathroom (and really great A/C). You could get alone time and privacy when needed. We enjoyed watching scarlet macaws in the sea almond trees off the deck. At the time we stayed there, the waves were too powerful for the teens to swim--our kids are great swimmers but no match for the wave size and force. Not sure if this is often true of this stretch of beach, but we had to drive to beach for true swimming or boogie boarding. Even so, the house is right on the beach and the view is still a plus. It was fun to watch the surfers in the morning as the beach is perfect if you are trained for/accustomed to those big waves.Several good restaurants in walking distance--can also walk to a convenience mart for quick purchases. Would totally book this place again. Took us an hour to get to Manuel Antonio, and that park was perhaps the highlight of this leg of our trip. Get a guide if you go to MA--totally worth it.

From the moment we stepped inside it was just what we all needed. Plenty of space to have time on our own but great gathering space outside out or in the sun, out or in the water. Walking distance to the local restaurants and steps to the beach. Outdoor seating of every kind for ocean/sunset viewing, poolside or large banquet table for family feasting! I am so thankful for the Granera family sharing this piece of heaven with us! Pura Vida! 🦎🦜🇨🇷🌊🏝️☀️🧡

We had a wonderful stay and are already planning our trip back next year. The location was perfect for our family. Lots of good nearby dining options. Nicole, the host, was a wonderful wealth of knowledge and helped us arrange great excursions. We felt so welcome, and enjoyed every minute of our time there. Comfortable beds, nice bathrooms connected to each air conditioned bedroom, and a kitchen with all of the comforts of home. Our kids had a blast (as did us adults) in the pool!

We just got back from a week at Casa Mar for my husband's 40th birthday... and all I can say is WOW! We looked & looked for places that would comfortably fit 11 people, and when I saw this listing... this was it! Every couple/person had their own room & bathroom, and the location couldn't be more perfect!!! Every day we saw the most amazing sunsets... next door to three wonderful restaurants... amazing pool/beach just steps from your room.... walking distance to a great mart that had all the essentials... we even had macaws greet & fly over us almost every day!! We only left the area to go on excursions! Otherwise, we could've just stayed on site all week. I can't say enough amazing things about our host, Nicole! She was there for us for anything we needed, & helped us to set up reservations/transportation ahead of time. She always got back to me right away! As a person who gets stressed/anxious about planning things, she really made me feel at ease!!! She recommended private Chef Erick... this is a MUST! He was AMAZING! We also booked massages with her recommended masseuses... can't get any better than a massage on the deck to the sound of waves crashing on the beach!! Looking for surfing lessons? You guessed it! She had a great recommendation for that as well! Our friend caught every wave with the instructor!! The week was truly picture perfect and I would HIGHLY recommend over and over again that you stay at Casa Mar! You need to experience this for yourself!

The house itself offers an opportunity to socialize as a larger family and enough space to engage a great book in privacy. Carlos was very attentive and offered the “Whats App” as an efficient way to communicate. Sonja kept the house spotless and offered laundry service if needed. Liza and staff provided authentic delicious meals everyday. We would absolutely recommend Casamar. Hermosa is a quiet village located directly near the beautiful Pacific Ocean with quick access to Jaco if you desire to shop.

We had a wonderful week at Casa Mar for our large family reunion! The property was better than we had hoped and had plenty of space for all 13 of us. We loved the communal kitchen which was well appointed and had all we needed. The pool area was fantastic for the kids and had enough shade. All of the rooms were well appointed and were en-suite which was perfect. We loved the Bali-style room set up; especially the rooms that opened up onto the from deck and beach view. Carlos and Nicole were great hosts before and during our stay. They kept in contact and helped us with ideas for where to go, where to eat and anything else we needed during our stay. They really helped us make things great.

This residence was located in a prime location at the beach. The host was very hospitable and readily available. The residence is very modern and clean. We really enjoyed our stay in beautiful Playa Hermosa Costa Rica.

The house was great! Right in front of a great surf break!! steps away from restaurants/bars.... Owner was super cool, very helpful!! He set us up with some locals for various excursions we went on... The entire event was a dream come true for us and our family members. Thank you Carlos and Nicole

Had a great time. Beautiful location, good restaurant next door, away from downtown Jaco. Could not have been happier with our stay.

A multi-generational family group of 10 stay and the villa was perfect for all of us. Casa Mar is even better than described and lovely. Beautiful setting with the ocean steps away, we all played in the waves. Nicole and Carlos are wonderful, always available and so helpful in arranging activities, transportation, even Covid tests for us. Special thanks to Sonia also for looking after us! Great restaurants and small stores an easy walk and Jaco an easy commute. Highly recommend, don't hesitate to book for a wonderful vacation!

I thought I've sent this review already but, I was so excited talking about it, I forgot. The my brothers, sisters in law, nieces and nephews went with me on this trip. THEY HAD A BLAST!!! We surfed all day, ate, enjoyed the pool, drove around just to end up going back to "our" house. Nobody wanted to leave. It's there anything else to say? 😁

La casa sumamente cómoda y con una serie de amenidades que hacen pasar una estancia relajante.

We could not have asked for a better vacation!! From the very beginning everything was seamless - Nicole took care of everything from booking transport, arranging activities and coordinating our chefs (all for 13 people!). Carlos was also incredible and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The property is absolutely incredible - pics do not do it justice! Highly recommend if your group is looking to really disconnect and enjoy everything Costa Rica has to offer. You get the opportunity to really spend all of your time outdoors connecting with the people around you. Definitely hire the chefs - you will NOT be disappointed! Not only are they amazing cooks, but the sweetest people ever. I was a little nervous having a very active toddler run around a pool - but he did very well and there were lots of eyes on him at all times. Carlos even supplied floaties and beach toys! :) I can go on and on about this property and the amazing staff we encountered every step of the way. If you're on the fence between this place and somewhere else - there's no need to think about it any longer.

It was really nice and did not disappoint us in anyway. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing house , the concierge meet us there and should around, great location right on the beach , we even saw sea turtles hatching
