Wedding Getaway

We rented Hermosa House for a destination wedding with our dearest friends and family members. Julie and her crew made it the perfect wedding and mini getaway for our guests! Everyone is still talking about how amazing their experience at Hermosa House was and can’t wait to go back! It was the most relaxing and stress free wedding weekend. They took care of everything from excursions to food when needed.The staff was knowledgeable about the local restaurants, events and all smiles and friendliness. Walks on the beach in the mornings and evenings were a highlight, as well as lounging around the pool and walking on the beach to local restaurants. This is a must stay, especially if you are planning an event.

Bucket List Checked!!!!!

First of all when we got there looking at the accommodations, every room had its own full bathroom. Three floors of amazing and we filled the entire place. I think our group loved the pool/beach/patio area the best because we could all be together and when someone wanted to rest it was n reason to stop the party because everyone had their own space. 24 family and friends and we enjoyed every bit of our time together. Some of us did excursions while some passed on some. The horseback riding on the beach was amazing and the chef prepared amazing food for us. We could walk to the stores near the hotel and sometimes grab an uber to Jaco. Either way was very convenient. Some of us went on a fishing excursion which they brought back for us all to enjoy and the zip lining was amazing. Our host was amazing as was all the staff. Very fun time and well worth it,

AMAZING!!!

Our group just stayed 9 nights at the Hermosa Beach House. Julie was beyond helpful dealing with everyone’s questions and helping us book our excursions/transportation/chef. The house crew were so nice and go above and beyond. The grounds were always well maintained. We saw a turtle laying eggs the first night and a hatchling the last night. We will definitely be back to HBH!

10/10 Perfection

We had an incredible time at this fantastic beach house! The cleanliness was top-notch, and the comfortable sheets and pillows made our stay comfortable. Being just steps away from the beach and a short stroll to a beach bar with fresh ceviche was a dream. The sense of safety with someone always on the property was reassuring, including overnights. Julie, our host, was simply amazing, catering to all our needs and ensuring our trip was flawless. Our group hasn't stopped raving about this vacation—it was truly the best! Highly recommend this place for an unforgettable vacation.

Dream Come True

We worked with Julie and her amazing team at Hermosa Beach House to host friends and family for an 11 night stay. Every detail far exceeded my high expectations. From communication, to planning excursions for our guests, to onsite meals and celebrations, this was beyond perfect for our special occasion. There were between 18-21 of us onsite at all times, and everyone had their own beautiful casita to call home as well as the comfortable shared spaces to create lifetime memories together. The beach is incredible, the culture is invigorating, and the people feel like family. Look no further and make HBH your Costa Rican destination!

Wonderful Time

Being it was a former hotel I was a little unsure how it would be but must say the place was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. And that everyone had their own room and bathroom when we were all getting ready to go out at one time was perfect. Host Julie was great in answering all our questions before and during our booking. She helped us with all of our transportation needs to and from the airport and anytime we were headed out and was great help in booking excursions. Was really impressed with her staff as there was always someone there 24 hours a day to help with any of our needs. They were all very friendly and welcoming. We were a family of 25 spread out from infants to old adults and there was plenty of space for all of us to be there together. I would highly recommend this place for your group get together.

Hermosa Beach Paradise

Hermosa Beach House is truly paradise. The house, pool and beach were even more stunning in person. We had a group of 26, ages 6-75 and this property was perfect. We had access to the kitchen to cook some dinners and were able to hire chefs as well. The location is great, right by markets and tasty restaurants, easily walkable. The true magic of this property however, is the resort team. Julie, Wilber, Juan, Gaby, Dixon and the others, are who made this perfect vacation so special. From setting up transportation and meals (we had one dinner and all the breakfasts cooked), booking excursions, and the meaningful conversations. They genuinely wanted us to have the best time. We left feeling like we have friends in Hermosa Beach, and we can’t wait to go back.

Oceanfront resort style VRBO - Pura Vida living!

The Hermosa Beach House was the perfect place for our family to celebrate our mom’s birthday. From the moment that we booked with Julie, we felt like we were in good hands, and boy did that end up being an understatement! She was always available to answer our questions, arrange activities for us from yoga, massages, horseback, riding on the beach, a monkey tour, the day at Manuel, Antonio National Park, a hike, a special birthday dinner, fire show, and incredible homemade fresh meals enjoyed outdoors, looking at the ocean. This is a wonderful destination for a large group who wants a clean spacious house with lots of outdoor living with spectacular scenery and amazing sunsets. If you are looking to experience a laid back, casual, local surf town and get a more authentic experience then you would get at a resort, then is the place to go. We will definitely be back!

Family reunion

We had a group of 20 people staying at Hermosa Beach House. Julie and her staff were absolutely amazing…helping us with five separate transports to and from the airport along with making some amazingly delicious meals. Each staff member was accommodating and gracious. Her son Jason helped organize numerous tours and activities, and for a group of our size…trying to get everyone to figure out a plan was no easy task. Each activity arranged was special and memorable. The entire stay was a dream. The proximity to the ocean trumps all else. While it is not a swimming beach, watching the waves and surfers made up for that. The pool was kept pristinely clean everyday. The outdoor seating was perfect for 20 and very desirable to hang around. It was a trip none of us will forget. Thank you to Julie, Jason, Juan, Kyler, Willie, Wilbur and everyone else who made us all feel safe, welcome and special!

50th Birthday Celebration Trip

I booked this property to celebrate my 50th birthday with friends & family and we were not disappointed! The property is about 2hrs away from SJO Airport so prepare for the journey but it’s all worth it! The sunset alone is worth the drive! The property is nestled right on the black sand beach just outside of Jaco. The staff and owner are extremely helpful with all your needs; from decorating for your theme parties to washing your clothes after the ATV ride! Julie was so helpful setting up transportation for us no matter what we wanted or where we went. The only drawback was all the rooms aren’t technically under one roof. All except the top floor for have external doors to enter from the outside. Each room as at least 2 beds and most have fridges and microwaves. Each room has its own bathroom which was great! The top floor is a separate 3bdrm apt with living room, kitchen and dining area. No biggie for us. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you Julie for helping make my 50th birthday the best one yet!

A Blissful vacation at The Hermosa Beach House

Our stay at The Hermosa Beach House in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica, was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the warmth and hospitality of the house host and staff set the tone for a truly memorable experience. What truly elevated our stay was the exceptional service provided by the dedicated staff. The house host, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met. From seamless check-in to personalized recommendations for local attractions, her attention to detail was impeccable. We also opted for the meal options, which added so much ease to our trip. The food was fresh and delicious. Moreover, Julie and her staff effortlessly handled arrangements for excursions, taxis and airport transfers, making our stay stress-free and enjoyable. Their local knowledge and connections allowed us to explore Playa Hermosa and its surroundings with ease, creating a well-rounded and fulfilling experience. In conclusion, Hermosa Beach House is not just a place to stay; it's a destination that promises relaxation and unparalleled hospitality. Whether you seek a family vacation, or a retreat with friends, this hidden gem offers an unforgettable escape.

COULD BE GREAT… BUT JUST OK

This is a beautiful location, right on the beach with massive potential. However, at the price of 14K for a week, it is hard to overlook the many deficiencies. This is one of those places where the longer you stay the less you like it, and that mostly comes down to level of service, and a lack of reinvestment in the property. We loved the huge pool and spent most of our time there. We didn’t love how difficult it was to get the staff to clean our rooms or freshen our towels, the overpriced personal chef recommended by Julie, or the random friends of Julie’s wandering through the property to use the outdoor shower or do yoga on the lawn (with our children and valuables lying about). Most of the interior is showing it’s age and somewhat shabby. Peeling paint, mold on the ceilings, toilets that wouldn’t flush, showers that wouldn’t turn on consistently, a broken oven, and a poorly stocked upstairs kitchen were just a few things we noticed. Overall, the experience was just OK and wasn’t worth the price when compared to alternatives. We enjoyed our time but won’t be back.

Communication was great! They arranged excursions and transportation for my group of 20 for a business retreat. The staff was extremely helpful and very accommodating.

Wonderful place to stay on the beach

My husband & I rented the entire beach house hotel for our wedding week and we are so happy we did. Our friends and family stayed here and loved the place! The rooms we’re comfortable, Julie was very accommodating and helpful, the pool area and beach view was a dream! Our wedding ceremony was magical. This place is the perfect setup for an event or a much needed relaxing vacation. The area is peaceful with walkable restaurants, and close enough to Jaco if you want more options.
