About this property

Beach Luxury Home, Hermosa Palms, Playa Hermosa, Gated community

Location , Location, Location!
This stunning, well appointed 4 bedroom home is located in the gated community of Hermosa Palms. Check the surf off the master bedroom and deck, or let it lull you to sleep after a day of fun. Savour your coffee and breakfast outside under one of the 2 covered terraces. Enjoy the sea breezes while swinging in the hammock on the roof top terrace. Have a barbecue or let someone else do the cooking with a private chef or dine at one of the dozens of nearby restaurants.
Pack a lunch, grab the beach chairs, umbrella and coolers ( all provided) and go to a secluded beach. We are happy to direct you. Be a Robinson Crusoe family for a week and let your hair down. Have that adventurous vacation that you have always wanted. Its all within nearby proximity. There is so much diversity in every-way to choose from!! The good and the bad is that you can't do it all in one trip, so that means you can't wait to come back!

The beach and community pool are a short, less than a two minute, 300 foot stroll away. Just carry your surf board with you. Playa Hermosa is one of the most consistent and best surfing destinations in Costa Rica, the past site of the past 2009 summer world surfing championships. Body and surf board rentals as well as lessons are available for all ages on site from champion instructors.
You will see turtle nests on the beach where they laid their eggs and often the hatchlings scampering to the sea. Spotting the Scarlet Macaw parrots in the Almendro trees is a daily event, usually at 6am or 4 pm.
Listen for the Howler monkeys at day break.

Your private beach home is just 10 minutes away from the town of Jaco. In Jaco you will find numerous restaurants, shops, banks, grocery stores, car rentals, pharmacies and plenty of night life including casinos.
For a real thrill don't forget the Zip lines just outside of town.
You're only 90 minutes or less from the world famous Manuel Antonio National Park. This park has monkeys, parrots and lots of other wildlife. There are great eateries along the way with spectacular clifftop ocean views.

Just a 15 minute drive north you will find the 5 star Marriott Los Suenos Resort, which offers golf, tennis, shops, fine dining, spa and marina; or continue along another 5 minutes and treat yourself to sunset cocktails at Villa Caleta's. This will be unforgettable.
The airport in San Jose is less than ninety minutes away with a newly opened highway. Rental car pickup, taxi or van can be easily arranged including a driver. Just step out of the airport and let someone else do the driving.

This spectacular tropical beach community of Hermosa Palms is noted for its ideal location and friendly atmosphere. Close to the town of Jaco, yet blessed with 5 miles of uncrowded beach and endless surf. It is the most central location to countless activities, tours, numerous other secluded beaches, two fabulous marinas, sport fishing, restaurants, casinos and night life. Your ideal place to decompress from life's pressures.
Please note :
for Christmas and New years rental weeks we have a 7 night minimum. We are renting these weeks in two separate groupings and are happy to discuss dates that work best for you but not for example Dec 23 or 24th to January1. If you want two rental weeks across Christmas and New years we are very happy to accommodate. No check-in or checkout on Dec 24, Dec. 25 or January 1. We are trying to give our staff family time during this holiday season.

Hermosa Palms
Wow what a great vacation. Tim is an excellent host and would stay at his home again. Tim's communication is very responsive and his ideas of what to do when in the area are spot on. Palms at Playa Hermosa Beach Club was so much fun. Yes, it is not exactly on the beach, but it is close enough. The pool and Yoyo's is very fun. The beach is 100ft away. Tim's house is beautiful and well maintained. There was plenty of space for us (family of 4 adults) plus some. The kitchen is well stocked, the laundry is right off the kitchen if you need it. The beds are super comfortable, the outdoor shower was the best part of the house. We met some of the neighbors at the pool and they are very nice as well. Jaco is 10 min and Manuel Antonio is about 1.5 hours and very easy drive. Overall, I would definitely rent Tim's house again.

Amazing family time
We had a great time as a family renting this property. The house was clean and well kept and the owner did a great job at communicating with us and making us feel like an extended part of his family. We really enjoyed the close access that this property has to the beach and the community pool where you can buy simple meals and drinks at the swim up bar. The sunsets at the beach were fantastic every night and the property is only 10 minutes from Jaco which is a big town with everything you could want. The owner, Tim gave us lots of suggestions on restaurants and activities and they were all great. We plan to return to take advantage of more of them as our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer than 5 nights!

Fun & Sun
A lovely property, lots of room, very short walk to the pool and pool bar/restaurant which was excellent and just a few more steps to the ocean. Tim gave us a list of activities not to miss and all the ones we tried were fabulous. He and the property manager made our trip stress free by arranging transportation for our excursions and to/from the airport. Property manager also bought groceries we requested for our arrival. You can’t go wrong with this property.

Piscine commune merveilleuse
Nous avons passé un séjour confortable dans cette propriété. Nous avons particulièrement aimé la piscine et le bar qui servait d’excellents repas le midi. La plage est très belle mais pas propice à la baignade puisque les vagues sont très fortes. Il est facile de se rendre à Jaco malgré la route très cahoteuse pour les quelques kms près de la maison. La terrasse sur le toit n’est pas très invitante dû au bruit de la climatisation. Sinon, la deuxieme terrasse ne nous a pas non plus porté à y passer du temps avec ses chaises inconfortables et un décor qui manque d’âme. L’intérieur aurait aussi besoin d’être repeint et le décor rafraichi. Mais le tout est confortable et amplement grand pour le groupe de 7 personnes que nous étions. Quelques informations sur les excursions possibles sont partagées mais ne sont pas à jour. Nous avons fait l’excusion dans les mangroves pour voir des singes « Rafa tour » qui était extraordinaire.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Van Zoost

Host profile image
My wife and I first discovered the beauty and friendly relaxed culture of Costa Rica in 2004.

Why they chose this property

We rented many condos and homes nearby and then happened to find Hermosa Palms and rent in this community. Our intention was to build elswhere, but the specatular beach life and community of Hermosa Palms quickly changed our minds.

What makes this property unique

Long walks on a mostly empty beach other than a few surfers enjoying themselves, offered more than we could ever have dreamed for.If you are a bird watcher then you found the right spot. Parrots, pelicans, hummingbirds and a hundred more species are there to see. When you need ammenities or a night out for dining its at your fingertips. No long drives just to get the basics. Your precious vacation time is left for what you want to do. Relax and enjoy your self.
