Villa vacation rentals in Playa Hermosa

My family of 6 stayed at this beautiful home a week. Al was incredibly thoughtful and made sure we had all the information we needed about the house and surroundings with recommendations that did not disappoint. The home had everything you’d need for a beach vacation—chairs, beach towels, kids’ toys, a ping pong table, books, Netflix, and even shampoo and conditioner. It really felt like we only needed to pack our clothes because everything else was provided! The kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances and ran on gas, which made cooking a breeze. We used the kitchen every day, and it was great to have everything we needed. The two back rooms are perfect for a family with small children, and even the living room is a comfortable spot to sleep in if needed. The pool was great and we were lucky enough to have it to ourselves most days. We also felt very safe. The house was even better in person than we expected—beautifully decorated, spotless, and inviting. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at Sylvie's place. It's very close to multiple beaches and the pool was amazing. Sylvie was very responsive whenever we wrote and always helpful. The place is very comfortable and has all the "western" amenities. We cooked every meal (for two adults and three small children) with no issue. The kitchen had everything that was needed for cooking full meals. I would definitely not recommend staying here unless you have a car (which we did). You'd be very isolated to the one local beach and pool. With a car, everything you could want is in a 12 minute drive or less.

We really enjoyed our 6 day stay at Casa La Reina! The hosts were extremely friendly and easy to communicate with throughout the booking process and our entire stay. They helped us arrange an excursion, groceries, and meals for the week. When we arrived, we were greeted by the hosts who helped show us the property and all the features. At this time we also paid for all of our groceries for the week, which were stocked in the fridge/pantry. They even had welcome snacks and drinks prepared for us when we arrived! The house is about 15 minutes from downtown Tamarindo on a gravel road. The road is fairly easy to navigate, the last part being a steep hill up to the house. We had a small SUV (Rav4) and had no issues traversing the roads. The house felt very secluded, safe and private. The house was also very well kept and had an amazing view from the deck/pool area! We had a total of 4 people (2 couples) and felt we had plenty of space and privacy while here. We would highly recommend!

We loved our stay at Kaya Villas and will definitely be back. Beds were very comfortable, the grounds beautiful and private, and close to great food and the ocean. We loved having Plays Avellanas as our home base and honestly didn’t feel the need to stray too far. Went to Tamarindo one afternoon and then to Playa Grande several times as well. Our host was super welcoming and helpful as well. 10/10!

We loved our stay at Villa Sashimi and hope to come back soon! We loved to be surrounded by nature yet very near to the beach, super markets and restaurants. The house is very comfortable and clean, and the property grounds are beautiful!

Great views. The top of the world pool within the community has unbelievable views at sunset. You’ll need to drive a little ways to get to many of the beaches but there are lots of options. House was comfortable and worked great for large group.

We love it here, there is no better place to spend some time enjoying a beach in Costa Rica!!!

Great Airbnb experience, all around. Alvin is a fantastic host -- almost like a concierge. He's super responsive and set us up with great ground transportation -- which took us to some beautiful waterfalls on the way from Arenal and also took us grocery shopping. The property is beautiful and quiet. Quite good snorkeling. Highly recommended.

Fantastic beach compound. Christelle's house is the very northernmost on Brasilita where its quiet. House is directly across the road (as close as you can get) from the beach. This is a new house with all the conveniences you would expect on a higher end listing. The outdoor is exactly as pictured and makes it easy to eat outdoors and lounge at the pool. Good security with locking gates and an electrical fence on the wall and an alarm system for the house. Just a great spot if you want to get on and off the beach fast and not be surrounded by lots of people yet be very close to some of the best restaurants in Guanacaste.

After relocating from a disappointing rental, we struck gold with Casa Ruby! While our previous place lacked essentials and a safe pool, this home was perfect for our group (2 couples, 3 kids). The unique layout gave everyone their own bedroom and bathroom - a luxury when traveling with family. The stunning pool was immaculate with plenty of toys. We loved the outdoor space for morning coffee and the convenient BBQ and outdoor fridge for poolside drinks. The recent renovations show in every detail - luxe furnishings and incredibly comfortable beds with hotel-quality linens made sleeping heavenly. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking, and the living room offered games and a TV. Location is ideal - 8-minute walk to the night market and Little Lucha's amazing tacos, 15 minutes to the beach (or $4 Uber). Thank you Fernando and Valerie for sharing your hidden gem. Truly a dream home away from home - we hope to return!

This villa is gorgeous and in a very cool location up a hill with amazing views! The pool was fantastic, it is quiet and away from the hustle and bustle. There are many animal noises at night, mostly dogs barking but we enjoyed all the birds around us and having them visit the pool and the trees around the property. We enjoyed watching the stars at night too! The villa has everything you need, nice big dining table for family gatherings. If using the rooms upstairs you cannot access them from inside so you do need to walk outdoors to get to the stairs (wear slippers to avoid some bugs!). We only had a few minor hiccups while there (some water leakage) but Ilse was an impeccable host, quick to respond and brought us some items missing from the kitchen. Thank you Ilse for an incredible experience in Ocotal!

You won’t regret booking The Palms! A private, quiet retreat that was upscale and away from the hustle and bustle and party scene of some of the other Pacific Costa Rican beach towns. As a family of 5 with 3 kids ranging from 8-13 yrs old, the size of the condo was great, the kids enjoyed swimming in the waves at the beach, boogie boarding, and playing in the infinity pool with stunning beach views and sunsets. The grounds were beautiful and the staff was very attentive and kind. The bartender made me a drink off menu simply because I asked for something “uniquely Costa Rican!” The condo itself was well-stocked with staples to make for such a convenient stay. It’s even better than we imagined. There was a hiccup at check-in which caused some stress and a maintenance issue, but the Palms and host quickly made things right which was very appreciated.

Villa Guacamaya Roja was a great house in Playa Grande. About 8 minutes to walk to the beach. Large pool for the area. Great rooms. Really responsive concierge who helped book rides and excursions for the days we didn't just hang out in Playa Grande. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect 50th Birthday Girls’ Getaway! We recently stayed at this incredible vacation home to celebrate our 50th birthdays — 8 girls, one unforgettable trip! The entire property was absolutely stunning. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the pool was perfect for lounging and laughing, and the villas were quiet, clean, and beyond comfortable. The beds felt like heaven after long days of fun in the sun! We especially loved the open-air showers and the outdoor showers — such a luxurious and relaxing touch. Jason and Kathy were phenomenal hosts. They messaged us almost every day with thoughtful recommendations for excursions, restaurants, and local gems. Their friendliness and attention to detail truly made the experience even more special. Everything about our stay was amazing and exceeded expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better setting or hosts. Highly, highly recommend!

We just came back from a week-long stay in this beautiful house. The pictures shown in the listing do not do justice, it is a very large house with plenty of room for 4 adults, the views from the pool and master bedroom cannot be beat, the location is great (listening to the howler monkeys at night was an added bonus), there was always plenty of hot water, and the pool is huge and was kept in pristine condition. The only slight negative we encountered was the requirement to not place any toilet paper in the toilets but rather place it in trash bags (we were not aware of this requirement prior to arrival). Other than that one minor surprise, we would definitely recommend Payton's house to anyone who wants a fun and relaxing vacation.

Absolutely great! We had the best time. Wonderful house and pool. Staff were all wonderful.

had a beautiful stay - very functional space and plenty of room for a family of 4. Pool was a bonus and it was helpful having such a responsive host with great recommendations.

Really nice and quiet location. Within walking distance to the beach and a grocery store. Overall the villa was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed.

The view is absolutely amazing! The villa has all the amenities you’ll want and is very safe with two gates, alarm system and security cameras. The sounds of the jungle and the wildlife are very present. Very peaceful and relaxing. If you don’t mind driving 20 min to Tamarindo and seeing a few bugs, this is the best Airbnb to rent! The host is very nice and responsive. Would definitely go back!

We had a great and peaceful stay here. The place is a bit secluded but that is what I wanted as I prefer to be surrounded by nature. We also explored new beaches that haven’t before. It was perfect for our stay and place looks like the pics.

Great location, just what we were looking for, quiet, peaceful but near to amenities. Great host, really helpful and responsive. Highly recommend.

A stunning property! Upon opening the door we were in awe of the beautiful view and house amenities. While the kitchen, main bedroom and main bed outdoor deck are the biggest highlights is this property…the entire home was perfect for a family of four and we were impressed by all areas. Comfy linens, upscale appliances, spotless surroundings and kind condo staff are just some of the reasons this stay was one of our best of all time. The town of Playa del Coco is within minutes, the black sand beach feels private and pools/restaurant are great. I consider our family particular and this house didn’t disappoint. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Encantada. It was private and peaceful. It is meticulously maintained and very clean. Lorraine and Real are helpful hosts, who have lived in Costa Rica a long time and have many great recommendations for the area. Highly recommended!

We have stayed in Bo Jungle's two-bedroom house three (3) separate times in sixteen (16) months, most recently in Aprill 2025. We were there for two weeks the first time and for one week two other times. Our most recent stay was a year after our last and it was perfect again! The Bo Jungle complex of four apartments plus the two-bedroom house is a fantastic creation. It is very secure, very well-made and equipped, and maintained in perfect condition. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the pool a refreshing joy after a hot Tamarindo day. The two-bedroom house has great beds, showers, washer and dryer and a nice kitchen and living space. Bo Jungle started nice and the owners have continued to install subtle improvements that show their pride in their rental. When in Tamarindo/Langosta, we only stay here.
