Stunning views, amazing house

We loved the house from the moment we arrived. It’s located in a gated community. The home is also gated. Once you walk in the views are stunning. It’s also big enough for everyone to have a really nice room with views. 4 of the 5 bedrooms are very large and comfortable. Check in was great and easy. The host was very accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this home

Lifetime Memory

Our trip started before we arrived at the property. We received communication prior to landing and the property manager was waiting for us at the pick up spot. Armando took us up to the property and upon entry, the view is breathtaking. Pictures don’t really do it justice. The entire family was blown away. We received a quick tour of the house And it’s many amenities. They have everything, board games, cards, Bluetooth speakers, etc. each room has a bit of a unique view, each one very cool to see. The location is secure, but always centrally located to easily access multiple restaurants and attractions. Hands down the best VRBO rental I’ve ever experienced and for me and my family, we created a lifetime of memories. Absolutely outstanding, must book!

Wonderful Vacation in Playa Hermosa

This property is exactly as described and deserves its 5-star rating! This was easily our nicest VRBO rental, ever. There were There were 8 adults in our group, and the house was more than big enough for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. The view from the infinity pool is just the best (especially at sunrise and sunset), the kitchen is big and very well-stocked (for all the cooks in our family), the beds are comfy, the maid service is great, and there are plenty of towels, beach chairs and other items. There's great birdwatching on the back terrace, too. The beach is also amazing, with plenty to do - catamaran sails, snorkeling with sea turtles, beach massages, jet ski rentals, a beach bar and restaurant, etc. Rent this place, you won't regret it! We wished we were staying longer, and hope to come back again someday.

Casa Cole

Casa Cole has an amazing view! The house worked great for our family of 6 with comfortable bedrooms and plenty of space. The Zindis group was excellent at assisting our family with any question or need. Our only “complaint” is that there was no where to walk/run and no close hiking or walking paths. Overall we loved our stay!

Beautiful spot. View like no other.

Our family of 6 visited Casa Cole. One of the most spectacular spots we’ve ever been. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of space, refreshing pool - but the view overlooking the pacific was absolutely stunning. It just never got old sitting on the deck admiring the beautiful coast line. Wonderful stay, location, and hospitality.

Totally enjoyed our stay. Infinity pool with views. Interior rooms are very nice. Quite windy “on the top of the hill” On Costa Rican beaches one can snorkel but there really isn’t anything to see. Just enjoy long walks and swimming on the beaches.

Amazing home and experience!

Casa Cole was amazing! We had two families stay together there - 4 adults and 4 kids - and there was plenty of room for everyone. The home was extremely well stocked and had everything we needed and more. The outdoor area was amazing - we spend every morning and evening out poolside, enjoying the sunrises and sunsets. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious location to stay at Casa Cole.

Just book it!

This home and the views are even more breathtaking than the pictures!! The views when you enter the home and from almost every room are beyond amazing. We had 9 in our group and the home was perfect. It has everything you could possibly think of… beach chairs, umbrellas, yoga mats, pool towels, washer/dryer, and a fully stocked kitchen. The home is just a few minute ride to the beach and restaurants. Check in and out was easy and Edgar and Carmen were great making sure we had everything we needed. Book this home - it will be the highlight of your trip!!

Incredible location & House

Our party of 8 LOVED this house! At times we had up to 12 people here having dinner and there was plenty of space. We truly loved the view each morning, the layout was perfect (open floor plan), and the service of Zindis was top notch. We even had monkeys in our trees in the back yard. Seriously, just an incredible location and the pictures DO NOT do the views justice. Be prepared to be blown away. We will be back for sure!
