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.

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!

The location of this house is perfect! We loved going from the patio, to the pool, to the beach, to the ocean... all within steps of each other. The only thing better was Jose and Rebecca, the care takers who were so kind to us during our stay.

We absolutely enjoyed our time at this home! The location is beautiful ! The grounds keepers Bryan and Laura were delightful to deal with! Our grandson had a great time playing with their son Jacob! I highly recommend this place, although the house itself is in need of some repairs and updating, is why I gave it 3 stars for cleanliness. We would stay here again! Thank you 😊

Vaca with young kids so I wanted beachfront with pool and walking distance to restaurants and groceries plus not far from airport. (25 mins to Liberia) This checked all the boxes plus plenty of room for 4 adults and 3 kids. Owner helped with transportation for airport. Layout not exactly clear in pictures and one bedroom we didn’t have access to. Upstairs-porch area opens to king bedroom and leads to small walkthrough with a bunk bed, closets and then into master bath. (Doors to each area) great room for parents with small kids. Downstairs-den, kitchen, eating area, laundry, queen bed with bath, bunk room with 4 singles, and full bath in hall. There is another room in house with an outside entrance. (I think it has a full and twin bed with bath.) The only parts with AC are the bed/baths. No problem! The outside covered porch is wonderful and a great spot to eat or sit, hunt for the iguana in trees, and enjoy the views of exceptional gardens, pool, ocean, and folks walking on the path to restaurants. Rebecca and Jose (caretakers) with their kids were an important part of our enjoyment! Rebecca helped with grocery shopping, massages on property, our exceptional ocean excursion (whales, snorkeling, beach with caves and monkeys, ceviche caught and prepared on board), prepared my CR birthday dinner, bonfire and got us a mariachi band! Jose has the gardens and pool shine before you get your morning coffee. They are the BEST! Aqua Sport, Roberto’s, Mercado, and other restaurants are in walking distance for drinks, dinner, lunch, and breakfast. We had a rental car -drove to Playa Coco, Tamarindo, Ponderosa adventure park, Diamante Eco adventure park, and Parque Nacional Rincón. So you have options to check out beyond your casa. (we did all of this with a 1.5, 4 and 7 year old! But one area per day.)This area isn’t for night life, glitz, or luxury. It’s local, not high tourist crowds, and great place to experience PURA VIDA. If you need more lux the Four Seasons is close by. Relax and enjoy Costa Rica at this beautiful location!

Had a great time staying at casa Lucara. Christian was attentive and responded when needed. Care takers are the most beautiful family and take pride in looking after the property. We also used the venue and took wedding photos.
