Just what we needed!

The property was perfect for our needs. House was very clean. Had everything we needed. Neighborhood was great. We didn’t get to use the pool but we went by it and so wish we had more time because it was a beautiful pool. Had spa, gift shop, ice cream, bar and grill and we were in the perfect spot for beach views. Owner is great at communicating and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Nice home tucked in a great neighborhood

This property was positioned in the perfect place for us. There were a few issues such as breakdown of the dryer, refrigerator and air conditioning. BUT the owners were incredibly responsive and everything was addressed the same day we made contact. Some stuff was pretty dated. But again the actual home and the owners were great.

Great place in Hermosa Palms

My family and I had a great trip to Hermosa Palms, and Rib and Sarah's place made a great home base for our short trip. The house is wonderful! Everything worked (AC, Wifi , hot water, appliances...) There was some construction across the street so there street was a little crowded, but it was only a minor inconvenience when driving. This was our third stay in HP, and we couldn't beat this place for the price! Rob and Sarah were great. When we needed anything or had any questions, they responded quickly or sent someone over to check on us. I highly recommend this house and these owners. Pura Vida!

About the host

Hosted by Rob & Sarah

Host profile image
Originally from Canada, I first came to Costa Rica on a vacation 30 years ago, instantly fell in love with my wife, the country, the people, and never looked back.

My wife Sarah and I, spend many weekends here, with our 3 kids, and friends.

Naturally, I love to travel and see different places, study their culture and spend time with the people I encounter.

Besides traveling, I also enjoy hiking, running, and any type of fitness really. If you are into similar things and like to spend time in a natural setting, you will love everything Costa Rica has to offer. Some of the best National Parks, hiking trails, and untouched beaches are just minutes away.

I would love to share my best running / hiking areas with you.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Contact me with any questions you might have, please.

Why they chose this property

My favorite part of Costa Rica is the Hermosa Palms, which I discovered when I rented one of the homes that I currently own. This occurred 6 years ago. Up to now, I have acquired another 4 more homes in the same Neighborhood. That’s how much I love the place.

What makes this property unique

Relax, Safe, and Beautiful American Community.
