About The Owner

We live in the mountain national forest of Santa Fe New Mexico. Though we love the mountains and the snow, we are also drawn to the world's beaches. We found Costa Rica, with the friendly people, and the beautiful coastlines, mostly uncommercialized, to be our favorite getaway.

The Owner purchased this villa in 2009
Why The Owner chose Playa Hermosa

Costa Rica has so much to offer, you have to find a place that centers you in the middle of it all. We found Hermosa Beach just that place. Casa Morada is a a short ten minute walk to the very beach where the World Championship Surfing Tournament is held, but is tucked in to the foot hills where cool breezes blow. All is within a short reach; canopy tours, waterfalls, restaurants, shopping, beaches, mountains, turtle refuge, and wildlife sanctuaries. The estate is covered with palm trees and abundant local plant life that gives you the sense of privacy you are looking for. Fully secure private gated entrance, housekeeper available, night security, pool, verandas, king beds, private bathrooms, views of the ocean, mountains, and lush rain forest, will draw you deep into the Costa Rican mood.

What makes this villa unique

mornings drinking coffee waiting for the macaws to fly over, early evenings a glass of wine with the macaws coming back. Middays at the private pool. Security is very important to us and is provided at this home. Watching the enormous bulls across the street is amazing, especially when they fight, this is a Costa Rican "feel" home.

I have to say that I thought that this home was kept in great shape and I had a wonderful relaxing time here. In over all I thought the place had a great view of the forest and it really felt like you were in the rain forest.. It was awesome waking up in the morning sitting on the deck having coffee taking picture's of the Iguana's relaxing in their trees of natural habitat. Seeing the different types of wild life in this beautiful country and having a beautiful comfortable home to relax in, have great meals and swim in the pool with our friend's was awesome. I would go back there in a heartbeat!

Thanks for providing us with a warm and compfy home and atmosphere to relax. I loved it! As far as people saying anything about insects well you are in the rain forest and you will expect to see different insects and creatures there, I just took pictures and enjoyed every single moment! Some people just like to complain.

Wonderful Vacation Home!

Our stay at Casa Morada was a wonderful experience. The house was beautiful, clean and very well taken care of. This house is designed for comfort. Agristine (the grounds keeper) was an incredible ambassador to this home and it was wonderful to observe the loving care he took in the property.

I am so glad that I ignored the prior guest negative comments. When you stay in the rain forest you should expect that you cannot block out nature. It was awesome to wake up to the makaws flying over, to hear the forest waking up and to view the iguanas in the trees above.

I would recommend this house to anyone who wants the combined experience of living in the peaceful rain forest with the added bonus of being close to the commercialism of Jaco.

The only negative was that it was extremely hard to leave at the end of our stay.

Navarro- Ramírez family . We are currently staying here and are very disappointed. We understand we are in a Tropical Zone and expect to see insects. I wasn't expecting to share the space with roaches and African bees. There is an abundance of bees in the living quarters. Roaches run rampant in the kitchen and all food must be kept in the fridge. The pool is dirty and lacks proper cleaning. No proper chemicals or treatments confirmed by neighbors. The house hasn't been dusted and receipts are found from previous visitors makes you wonder if linens have been cleansed. Everything was done via Internet and no contract was signed:( We came to spend time with family instead we had to clean and kill roaches.
Owner's Response: Firs of all, our humble apologies from staff and owners to the Ramirez family.We tried very hard to be helpful to the Ramirez group. The estate was cleaned as usual the morning of there arrival and inspected. Unfortunately all the windows were left open, which is standard prior to arriving guests, and a wind storm blew threw that morning.

This is Costa Rica, and bees come and go as they please, as do all kinds of life. We took immediate action to the bee problem. We could not find, nor have ever seen, a mouse or roaches in our estate. We keep it very clean and prepared for guests.

In our four years of operation, we have not ever had complaints pile up on us like this. In fact every renter has been satisfied, and most return each year. This rental is an upscale estate, and we pride ourselves to keep it in great condition for each rental.

After a refund and personal attention throughout their stay, they departed with an apology of their own for the quick review, as well as stating their stay turned out enjoyable. We wish the Ramirez family our best and welcome them back anytime.

Pura Vida, and we learn from every renter how to make each stay more enjoyable.

This is a very spacious and comfortable home. The private pool was a great plus! I really enjoyed feeling like I was in the rainforest, but also being able to see the ocean in the distance. This place is located near downtown, shopping, dining, etc. You won't regret staying here :)

As a friend of the Choates, I had the pleasure of being their guest early June, 2009. What a delightful place to relax and enjoy all that Costa Rica has to offer. My room had a vista unparalleled in my experience, and the pool and gardens are exquisite. Casa Morado is lovely and spacious, yet comfortable and cozy. I can't wait to go back!!!
