Photos and Description of the Playa Hermosa vacation house rental
3BR, 3 full bathrooms, one 1/2 Bath, Sleeps 6

Casa Catalina is a custom-built villa on a hill overlooking the charming village of Playa Hermosa, one of the “BLUE FLAG” beaches of Guanacaste. It is just high enough to watch the Pacific over the village's tree canopy, yet close enough to walk there in ten minutes. Three private bedrooms with balconies and baths face the ocean. One is a king, one queen, and the third BR is two twin beds. Top rate mattresses and linens are provided. Stroll, or take the two minute drive to the beach through the village. Fully furnished with highest quality furnishings and equipment. Totally comfortable and convenient to the best Costa Rica has to offer. Spectacular ocean views. The house is fully tiled- its cool and clean throughout.

The private pool is surrounded by a stone deck, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the village. The views, especially the sunsets, will knock you out. Private and secure-everything you want for your Central American vacation.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica

All-Inclusive Option:

We can hire a local cook for you . We will do your grocery shopping for a fee. A gourmet chef is also available. These options are subject to availability of the personnel. Advance notice is highly recommended. Our local cooks have received rave reviews from the clients.

Location, location, location:

There are many vacation villas for rent in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Experienced travelers know that Playa Hermosa is the best destination in Costa Rica. It has none of the commercialism found in Tamarindo or Playa del Coco. The beach is spectacular. The restaurants are first rate, but not expensive. Except for the major holidays the town is very quiet and it is always safe. Yet is is only 20 minutes from the airport, and within easy reach of the main tourist destinations. It is Papagayo at a fraction of the cost.

Within Hermosa, there is no better location. Before renting, ask how far is the beach? How far up the mountain is the house? There are many villas for rent that are on top of the mountain- more than a mile and long, long walk back from the beach. Our villas are just off the main road, and just high enough to get a beautiful ocean view. Two small supermarkets are just 200 yards away.

Personal service:

Yes, this villa is beautiful, affordable and convenient. But our guests rave about the personal service they get from our local hosts-- Carlos ( Charlie),the caretaker, who lives just below the villas and will attend to whatever you need, and our concierge, Milagro Management. Pamela and Jeffry at Milagro will see that you have a great vacation- they can arrange inland tours, fishing trips, restaurants, and a rental car.They will happily answer all your questions and help wherever needed.

Golf:

There is a nice public golf course five minutes from the villa, 'Papagayo Golf Course'. Our concierge will make reservations for you, give you directions, or arrange transportation

Amazing house with amazing views!

Review Submitted: February 4, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2009
The house is absolutely beautiful and perfectly clean! I am a designer and a clean freak and have high standards and must tell you that this house exceeded all of our expectations.

The views from the house are amazing of the pacific ocean. The owners, the caretakers and staff are so polite and very kind.

The house has everything you need to enjoy the week. I appreciated the high quality building materials, linens and fully equipped kitchen.

Having our own pool was just fantastic! Our 2 girls loved every minute of the pool time! The walk to the beach is short and enjoyable!

Playa Hermosa is a little town with friendly people and we highly recommend it to everyone! We enjoyed the local restaurants and loved our tours with Bernal! Zip lining was a blast and the ATV beach tour was beautiful!

Absolutely Wonderful!

Review Submitted: March 16, 2010 Date of Stay: March 2010
This house is beautiful and extremely comfortable! It has everything you would want or need for a relaxing time. The views are spectacular and despite being "in town," the area was very quiet, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The pool was a constant enjoyment for our youngest daughter (3) and we all enjoyed hanging around it, chatting and playing during the afternoons when we were not out and about.

Playa Hermosa is pleasantly laid back and the people are friendly. The beach, good food and other activities, including shopping, are within a short walking distance of the house.

Charlie was great and the staff at Milagro was very attentive to whatever information we needed.

We've rented a number of other houses in Guanacaste and this house far surpassed the rest and at the same or lower cost than the others!

I can't recommend this house enough! That is, unless you want to be more in the midst of a lot of activity or, on the opposite end, totally removed from it all.

Truly Wonderful

Review Submitted: February 11, 2010 Date of Stay: April 2009
Our stay at Villa Aurelia was truly wonderful. The home is very beautiful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. David was great with getting back to us with every question we had before leaving. The property manager/tour guide Bernal was absolutely fabulous and of course the caretakers Charlie and Sue were great. If you like have Sue cook you a traditional Costa Rican dinner, she is a great cook and the price was nominal. Can't wait to go back and we will definitely stay at Villa Aurelia again.

This is spectacular.

Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
What a great place for a vacation! This is a spectacular, brand new home overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The owner has provided everything you need to have a fun and relaxing time. The interior is beautiful and well appointed. It's a convenient location - close to the airport and numerous trips and excursions around the country as well as a very short walk to the beach. It's everything I had hoped for and more.

loved our stay

Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We absolutely loved our stay. The pictures just don't do justice to the house or the views. Playa Hermosa was a great little town. Charlie kept the place beautiful. Bernal was so helpful and took care of everything we ever needed. We are telling all of our friends to go visit Costa Rica and stay here - and we will be back someday ourselves. Feel free to e-mail us with questions about our stay.
