Charming home away from home

I enjoyed my stay at this charming & homey VRBO that was close to everything you could need. It was walkable to everything and yet a nice, quiet, safe retreat where one can enjoy some solitude as well. I would stay here again!

House is clean and spacious, located in a locked gated community. The pool and surrounding area was very nice. The walk to the beach was as described. The kitchen/ great room is large and well stocked with cooking equipment. We all thought the beds were too hard and were disappointed that the TV in the great room was not working properly causing the picture to be distorted.

Marsha, Thank you for reviewing our home. The previous guest did not mention any distortion on the TV. The picture on the TV that was sent to me had a faint line but the picture was clear. We will look into it further. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Thank you again for booking our home. May you have many blessed and memorable vacations. Pura Vida. Regards, Jan & Wes

Beautiful stay in Playa Hermosa

Beautiful home, well located within easy reach of all that Playa Hermosa and surrounding area has to offer. Three roomy bedrooms, each with its own bathroom accommodated our group of four with significant room to spare. Well appointed kitchen and quiet community pool added to the enjoyment. Quiet, gated, community, and easy check-in process too.

We had a lovely time in this property! It was homey and comfortable, with all the amenities. We enjoyed walking to the beach and hanging out in the pool. The sunsets were gorgeous! The location was perfect, out of the high touristy areas but easily accessible to the beach, great restaurants, shopping and the airport. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to explore all that Guanacaste has to offer :-) The hosts and management were lovely too!

Wonderful home near the Playa Hermosa beach

Jan and the property manager were very helpful with local info and tips. The house was clean, bright, and well stocked for all our needs. We loved the surrounding trees and foliage, We were within a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Playa Hermosa is a quieter town with a beautiful beach and is within easy reach of the Liberia airport.

Family Beach Trip to Hermosa

We had a very nice trip. The house was spacious and comfortable with beautiful green views. My kids loved that it was a close 5 to 10 minute walk to the beach rather than driving to add to the adventure. The shared pool was very big and refreshing. I would definitely come back again.

The checkin process was easy and we really appreciated the early checkin after a long overnight flight.

Great stay in an excellent location!

We had a wonderful stay in Hermosa beach. This property is a short and easy walk from the beautiful Hermosa beach. The house is super clean and very spacious (our 1-year old learned how to run in the large living room!). We had no issues checking in and checking out. Jan is a great host and provided us with lots of helpful information about the house and the surrounding areas. The community where the house is located is really friendly too. We really had a great time!

Way beyond our expectations!

I almost want to keep this treasure hidden, but I shouldn't deprive others of the experience. The house is gorgeous and spacious inside, beautifully and comfortably furnished! The pictures do not do it justice. The location is low key and central to so much. We stayed ten days and are planning to return already.

I stayed at Jan’s property for a week. My parents joined me for part of the trip. We were all happy with our experience. Some notes: - Cinthya, the property manager, was very responsive to issues that arose, - the downstairs bedrooms are nice and large. Two adults can easily sleep in there, - I recommend bringing a Bluetooth speaker if you want to listen to music while there

Lovely stay

Our family of 6 had a lovely time in Jan and Wes' home. The home is spacious, comfortable, and well appointed; we especially appreciated the robust amount of cookware and kitchenware. That both beach towels and bath towels were provided, along with boogey boards, coolers, etc was also a very nice touch. We were unfortunately there during a time of tropical storms and having the pool there to pop out for a swim in between rain was lovely. The house is walking distance to the beach and within driving distance of lots of lovely beaches (our favorite was Playa Pence). Shops are a quick drive away. Overall, we recommend this home highly.
