About this house rental

Nestled in Playa Hermosa, this lovely house for $293 per night is a great choice for your next break. Our home is located in the gated community of Hermosa Palms and is the perfect spot for your family vacation. The community is centrally located for easy day trips and excursions or perfect for spending quiet days at home to enjoy the serene setting surrounded by lush foliage and exotic birds while sitting by your private pool. The community's gorgeous Hermosa Palms Beach Club is nestled along the beach and includes a resort style pool and swim up bar with delicious food and drinks. You will also find Hermosa Palms Spa on site, offering massages inside or on the beach and other services. Each morning can begin with coffee on the porch watching Macaws and humming birds followed by a relaxing beach walk collecting treasures or watching newly hatched turtles making their way to the surf. Don't forget to go back to the beach at dusk for beautiful sunsets over the ocean. For surfers, you have found the perfect surf spot. Playa Hermosa boasts the best and most consistent waves in all of Costa Rica. At the end of our beach road where it meets the highway you will find Vida Hermosa Restaurant which holds a surf contest every Saturday night and the best beach party in town on Sundays. It is a very popular gathering spot and the beach will be buzzing with friends and families watching the surfers. Along the highway in Playa Hermosa are many other great beach front restaurants. Try them all if you can, but if you only have time for a few, Bowies Point and Vida Hermosa are our favorites, with great food and a great vibe. For more restaurants, grocery stores, banks etc., the well-known town of Jaco is just 10 minutes north on highway 34. Stop along the way to snap photos of the spectacular overlooks . 5 more minutes north is the town of Herradura and Los Suenos Marriott Resort and Marina. Deep sea fishing and other excursions leave from the Los Suenos Marina. Directly across the highway is the popular Los Suenos zipline, horseback riding , waterfalls tours etc. Travel a little further north for drinks, dinner and a beautiful sunset high atop Villa Caletas Hotel and Restaurant. 5 more minutes north, just before Tarcoles river is Carara National Park. Walk through the jungle trails to spot wildlife or opt for a guided tour and be amazed as the guide helps you snap perfect pictures of the hidden colorful birds, bats and other wildlife. 30 minutes south of Hermosa Palms you can spend the morning walking through the jungle and over hanging bridges at Rainmaker Forest or ride on Raffa's Monkey Boat Tour through the mangroves. The monkeys come right on the boat as you feed them bananas!!! 15 minutes further south is the well-known Manuel Antonio National Park. Check them all out on Trip Advisor or just ask us. We offer complimentary concierge services for all ofnour guests including everything from transportation to booking tours, etc. We are located about 90 minutes from SJO airport. To travel from the airport to Hermosa Palms, you can book a private van service and rent a car once you arrive in Jaco, or rent a car at the airport. Another car rental option that we like to recommend is Zuma rental car in Jaco. They will provide transport to and from the airport in your rental car. There must be room for the driver from Zuma so this tends to work well for groups of 4 or 5 but is so convenient and reasonably priced. We can provide additional information on all of the above and are happy to talk by phone or email as you book your stay or to answer any question you have as your vacation approaches. Once booked we will send you instructions for a self check in, but we can help with anything you need prepared in advance from stocking the fridge before you arrive, arrange for cleaning and or chef services as needed and anything else that comes up. We strive to provide a well furnished, well appointed property where you will feel right at home on day one. Our home is well equipped for preparing meals at home including a gas grill for cooking out. We feel sure you will love your stay and love our community. Bob and Debbie Norris

This is our 4th time staying in Hermosa Palms and this house is hands down the best one we’ve stayed in. It is very clean and updated. Exactly like the pictures. Was the perfect size for my husband and son and me. The private pool was great to have. There’s several iguanas that like to hang out in the yard and every day we had 6-8 macaws in the almond trees right by property. We loved sitting out on the deck patio and watching them. The house was very well stocked. Most houses we’ve stayed in don’t even have salt/pepper in the kitchen. There were plenty of towels and pool/beach towels to use. Having the full sized washer and dryer was great too. The beds and pillows were on the very firm side but softer ones is a personal preference. The neighbor’s dogs barked off and on so during the night was a little nuisance. The fans and AC were able to drown them out. We love staying in this neighborhood with it being right on the beach and we love the community pool. And Yo-Yo’s is delicious as well. We had a fabulous week here and it went too fast! We love Costa Rica and would most definitely stay in Debbie’s home again. 💕

Our stay was great from start to finish. Debbie was quick to communicate and another family member who is local communicated with us throughout the trip and was helpful to answer questions and figure out other logistics. The property is part of a larger house but has its own entrance and is like having your own, private place (common set up for this community). It is well appointed with everything you need from laundry to a fully stocked kitchen. It also has plenty of A/C units to cool you down after being outside in the heat all day. It's a short 2 block walk to the club house and community pool which also gets you to the pool bar/restaurant and beach. This is a great place to be out of the main area of Jaco and also closer to Manuel Antonio if you are heading that direction.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Casa Alma. It is not easy finding a place that can satisfy six adults at various life stages, as well as a one year old toddler, but this house did it! PROS: We loved how non-busy the beach was in the mornings and evenings. It gave us lots of room for beautiful pictures and space for our toddler to run and splash in the shallow waves. While it isn’t a good beach for swimming, it is the perfect beach for walking, sunsets, shell hunting, and watching surfers. Having the option for the private pool was great for those that wanted to stick around the house, but our group also really enjoyed the community pool with swim up bar as well. Marco, the property manager, was very attentive and helped us with any issues that we had come up with our stay. Alvaro, the gardener, was extremely friendly and provided us fresh coconuts and bananas for our stay! All in all, the people that we encountered were the BEST and really wanted to make our stay as great as possible. Debbie and Bob were very quick to respond in the lead up to our trip and also had some great recommendations and information at the house to help us plan for restaurants and activities throughout the week. CONS: It is a vacation home (not a resort), so there were certainly times where there were some inconveniences that were outside of our control (or the control of Debbie and Bob). For example, it is a duplex type set up where there are two separate residences in a shared house. One of our nights in the house, the other resident was housing dogs that barked throughout the entire night. We also had a power outage for one of the mornings, which was a problem for those in our party who appreciated the A/C and wifi, and also made it difficult to get in contact with Marco. If you can survive some of these inconveniences, this is a great place to stay! In general, our week here went fast and it would have been great to have stretched it out longer. There is a lot to do and see in the area, and we feel as if we barely scratched the surface. Highly recommend making time to go to Manual Antonio for wildlife sightings and the beautiful beach (though do your research first!), as well as Rainmaker for some cool hiking.

This house at Casa Alma 78 was beautiful and had our private pool. Home was clean and spacious. Debbie was very easy to work with and a delight to speak with. We definitely recommend this rental to anyone that is looking for a house to stay at a very reasonable rate. Thank you Debbie for a great time. Toni,Patti,Gary and Mara
