About this property

As featured on HGVT's House Hunters International, March 2018! (Season 117, episode 10) Imagine, your vacation beach home, only 20 minutes from an international airport! Why stay in a room at a resort when you can enjoy your own private villa within a luxury resort? Stay connected to the world via 100 mgbpm internet service. Casa Da'Vida is located in the exclusive Villas Sol gated resort community at Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste, an easy 20 minutes from Daniel Oduber International airport in Liberia (airport code LIR). Our professional concierge service will meet you at Villas Sol upon your arrival to help you settle in, and will be just a phone call away should you require any services. They can even stock the refrigerator prior to your arrival! (contact info provided upon paid booking)

Enjoy your morning Costa Rican coffee and tropical fruit smoothies on the private terrace overlooking the Pacific. If cooking in the 2017 fully renovated and equipped kitchen isn't your idea of vacationing, dine as often as you like (up to a fully inclusive dining package) at any of the restaurants and cafes located on site. Just stop at the front desk if you want to sign up for a dining package and excursions.

Numerous pools, including a swim-up snack and cocktail bar, are only steps from Casa Da'Vida.

Private beach access is a leisurely stroll down the hill. And complimentary shuttles are available to bring you back to your hillside ocean view villa after a day of sun and surf.

At the end of your day in paradise, enjoy a glass of wine as you cool off in the private terrace plunge pool and watch the sun slowly sink into the Pacific.

3 bedrooms, 2 full baths complete the ocean view, open concept living space that includes a hidden stack washer & dryer. You've got plenty of room to stretch out, whether it's just you and a companion, a group of friends, or the entire family.

Beach restaurants & nightclubs, as well as snacks & groceries, wine & spirits, all within easy walking distance of Casa Da'Vida at the private Villas Sol resort complex. And, we're an easy 10 minute drive or cab ride from the hoppin' nightlife in Playas de Coco!

We hope you enjoy our Playa Hermosa beach paradise as much as we do.

Pura vida!

Your hosts,
David & Bernie

Nice little house a short distance from beach

We stayed for a month in March/April. Pros: The house is as pictured- I recommend watching House Hunter episode. Nearly everything was provided, & basic starter supplies were included (4 TP, 4 dishwashing tabs, dish soap, etc). We paid $40 for a housekeeper, & she refilled the shampoo, soap, and dish soap. House has some beach/pool toys, towels, a small cooler, broom and dustpan, too. Nice to have. Management company is proactive & helpful, providing a grocery service @ a 20% charge. It was nice to have groceries waiting! Resort shuttles run often to/from beach & hotel. The resort provides a number of blue /white beach lounges w/ good availability. Beach has nice trees for shade & was clean & the ocean warm and clear, & also pretty calm. Nice landscaping, clean property. Wildlife in the area. Iguanas, monkeys, hummingbirds, *raccoons & skunks. Trash pick up daily by 4 PM at foot of steps. Sm. spigot near steps to remove sand from feet. Cons: Little privacy with houses side by side (+/-15'). Somewhat noisy in evenings with music, loudspeakers, etc. eminating from pool/activities directly above the house until quiet hours begin. The house is fairly well equipped but could use more kitchen tools, such as a wire whisk, scraper spatulas, a grater, etc. Raccoons jump on roof nearly every night, several x/night, fighting/playing & woke us up despite our white noise. Skunks also freely roam property. A/C brings scent inside. ALL open food must go in fridge- Tiny ants!

Loved our Villa, The resort not so much.

The Villa was beautiful, with a well stocked kitchen for cooking. Loved our plunge pool as it was about 37 degrees with the humidex. Would recommend a car, as there aren't alot of restaurants, and one small grocery store in Hermosa. We were not impressed with the resort, Villa Sol. The large pool with swim up bar was filthy the entire month we were there. First time in, experienced a rash. About 40% of the loungers at the pool had broken backs on them. The small pool at the top of the mountain near the hotel lobby was nice, but maybe had 8 lounges, always occupied. The buffet (which we paid for) was passable. Had difficulty finding food I liked. Beach access is owned by another all-inclusive, so beach chairs are only for their guests. At least there was a shuttle, otherwise the constant walking up and down steep hills is not the way I want to spend my vacation.

Nice house

We had a great time at this house. Playa Hermosa is great, very big with small waves so its great for the kids to play in the sand. The house is very clean and fully equipped.

About the host

Hosted by Bernie Erickson

Our primary home is in Fargo, ND and love to get away during the nasty winter to our vacation home in Costa Rica! We are very into the arts and work as a college professor and a realtor.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of its beautiful ocean view and the amenities onsite. Proximity to the beach was a must in our property search and having our own pool in addition to the community pools is a big plus.

What makes this property unique

In addition to the beautiful ocean view and private pool, we have very friendly neighbors. Everyone we've met in the complex is happy to be there - and who wouldn't be! We have renovated the kitchen and added a dishwasher, washer and dryer.
