We had a wonderful time in Playa Hermosa

This was a wonderful place for our family to stay. Our kids loved the pool and playing in the waves on the beach. It was amazing have a beach front location. It has a fun room to sit and watch the sunset and the ocean. Laura keeps the yard looking amazing and beautiful. Our kids loved searching for geckos at night. We saw some Iguanas and beautiful birds as well. We were there from Sunday night to Thursday morning and the beach was never crowded. The beach has beautiful soft sand and small waves that our family had fun playing in! We brought our own life jackets and snorkeling gear which we were glad to have. The kids had fun finding hermit crabs and shells. We got in late which made it a little tricky to find the beach house, luckily we downloaded a map before leaving the United States. This was our first trip out of country and we’re used to just using our phone to get us where we need to go. I’d recommend downloading an app that works offline. Laura was very kind and helpful and our kids had fun playing with her son. They only speak Spanish which may have been difficult if my husband didn’t know Spanish. The beach house felt very safe and had bars on the windows and doors that you locked when you leave. The hardest part what trying to figure out which key went to which lock. The kitchen had all the things we needed but we mostly ate out. I’d recommended eating at Aqua and watch the sunset. Other great places to eat where in walking distance from the beach.

Great location

The location was wonderful. There were restaurants and stores within walking distance. The beach was beautiful and only steps away. We enjoyed watching the birds and iguanas. The pool was lovely and we BBQd. My only complaint was it was extremely hot and the main part of the home was 90 degrees. I realize this is common in CR. There was however AC in the bedrooms. The home is older and rustic. It could use a deep clean. Overall we had a great time there.

Beautiful Paradise

The property is beautiful and well taken care of. The young ones loved to be in the pool by 7 and back and forth to the ocean all day. It was walking distance to restaurants and groceries and only 30 minutes to the airport. Playa Hermosa is a beautiful beach and certainly not as busy as others. The Boogie boarding was great for the kids. Even had howler monkeys next door! It is close to Coco which has more services. The caretakers are wonderful and take great care of the property Our grandkids loved playing with their son. There were tears when we left. We would definitely stay at Casa Luarca again. We miss the sound of the ocean putting us to sleep. Christian was very responsive and good to deal with. Thankyou for sharing your home!

Can’t beat the beachfront location and private outdoor area with huge pool and plenty of outdoor seating. We love Playa Hermosa for the soft silvery sand, gentle surf and jet skiing in the bays. We were pleasantly surprised that the kitchen had modern appliances. We did have issues with the clothes washer and could only get it to wash tiny loads on one setting after unplugging and replugging a few times. TV had to be requested. We liked the upstairs area except for the awful smell from the bathroom that required us to keep all the windows open. The property is surrounded by well kept mature landscaping and well shaded so never felt too warm. Air conditioning in bedrooms worked well. There are a lot of keys to different doors to the property—color coding would be helpful. The gate to enter and leave the property is manual so a bit inconvenient but the property managers were usually available to assist us. The property managers are very nice but communication with them was limited because they did not speak English and we do not speak Spanish. It would be helpful to get more information about the property in writing in English. Overall a lovely property that can accommodate a large family at an exceptional price.

Beautiful location, right on the beach

We spent 4 nights at this wonderful home. There is a beautiful outdoor area (patio & pool) and it is minutes from the ocean. Laura & Bryan live on the property and attend to your every need. They are fabulous! The layout of the house is fine, except for one of the bedrooms that you access by going outside the house (but just a few steps through the courtyard). It would be difficult to put just young children out there, but my husband & I loved it because it was like having our own private guesthouse. We could walk to markets & restaurants which was so nice. The ocean was warm and not crowded at all, even though we were there over Christmas. I would stay here again without hesitation!
