Casa Cole – 5BR • Infinity Pool • Sleeps 10 • Gulf Views • Playa Hermosa
Why Guests Love It Guests consistently highlight the “wow” moment on arrival, the tranquillity of the setting, and the luxurious blend of resort-style amenities with private home comfort. Whether lounging by the pool, watching sunsets or simply reconnecting in spectacular fashion — Casa Cole delivers.
Tucked high above Playa Hermosa, the hillside community of Monte Paraíso offers unmatched privacy, sweeping ocean views and the soothing sounds of nature. Below you’ll find a calm Blue-Flag beach, relaxed beachfront dining, and local shops — all within minutes. The international airport at Liberia (LIR) is about a 30-minute drive, making arrival smooth and effortless.
Set atop the hill in the exclusive gated enclave of Monte Paraíso, Casa Cole is nothing short of spectacular — a 4,200+ sq ft estate with five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, designed for up to 10 guests who expect the extraordinary. This architectural masterpiece captures sweeping views of the Gulf of Papagayo and the distant peaks of Rincón de la Vieja National Park — described by HGTV as “one of the most memorable houses from around the world.”
Walk through vaulted ceilings and glass-walls into a space where indoor and outdoor merge effortlessly. The main terrace with covered lounging areas overlooks the infinity-edge pool, where the vista seems to stretch into infinity. Landscape gardens, three covered patios, and a balcony destination all contribute to the unrivalled setting.
Inside you’ll find a gourmet kitchen, open-plan living and dining areas, and stylish bedrooms each designed for serenity and privacy. Outside, sun-drenched lounge chairs, a Jacuzzi-pool combo, and birds, monkeys and iguanas in the lush grounds elevate the entire experience into pure “pura vida.” Zindis With concierge settings by Zindis, your stay is managed seamlessly and with polish.
Whether you’re gathering friends, celebrating milestones or simply craving a stay where every moment is framed by beauty, Casa Cole invites you to reside at the pinnacle of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.

Beautiful outside, inside not so much.
The views are unbeatable — truly the highlight of our stay. The property management company was fantastic and very responsive. We ran into a few issues, and they addressed most of them quickly.That said, the home itself really needs some love and attention. Two exterior doors didn’t lock, several areas of trim were moldy, there was visible wood rot around the larger windows, and a strong musty smell throughout.Dont look up, you will see areas of water penetrating through the Sheetrock. Extremely low water pressure.The home feels stuck in its circa-2000 style and condition — for the amount of money being spent, it really should be updated. Compared to a nearby home our family rented — which was modern and updated — this property felt dated and at the end of its life. Upon arrival, I noticed about 30 small ants on the kitchen counter and wall. By that evening, large red ants were all over the sink, counters, and walls. This continued for our entire stay. Management sent someone to spray bleach, which helped briefly, but the ants returned within hours. We ended up storing bread and snacks in the microwave and only cooked once, as I felt too uncomfortable to use the kitchen.Other issues included very poor water pressure and the lack of even basic condiments. While the views are unbeatable and the property management team was great, the house itself needs significant updates, repairs, and pest control before I could recommend it.

We loved the house from the moment we arrived. It’s located in a gated community. The home is also gated. Once you walk in the views are stunning. It’s also big enough for everyone to have a really nice room with views. 4 of the 5 bedrooms are very large and comfortable. Check in was great and easy. The host was very accommodating.

Lifetime Memory
Our trip started before we arrived at the property. We received communication prior to landing and the property manager was waiting for us at the pick up spot. Armando took us up to the property and upon entry, the view is breathtaking. Pictures don’t really do it justice. The entire family was blown away. We received a quick tour of the house And it’s many amenities. They have everything, board games, cards, Bluetooth speakers, etc. each room has a bit of a unique view, each one very cool to see. The location is secure, but always centrally located to easily access multiple restaurants and attractions. Hands down the best VRBO rental I’ve ever experienced and for me and my family, we created a lifetime of memories. Absolutely outstanding, must book!

Wonderful Vacation in Playa Hermosa
This property is exactly as described and deserves its 5-star rating! This was easily our nicest VRBO rental, ever. There were There were 8 adults in our group, and the house was more than big enough for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. The view from the infinity pool is just the best (especially at sunrise and sunset), the kitchen is big and very well-stocked (for all the cooks in our family), the beds are comfy, the maid service is great, and there are plenty of towels, beach chairs and other items. There's great birdwatching on the back terrace, too. The beach is also amazing, with plenty to do - catamaran sails, snorkeling with sea turtles, beach massages, jet ski rentals, a beach bar and restaurant, etc. Rent this place, you won't regret it! We wished we were staying longer, and hope to come back again someday.

Pura Vida
We had an amazing trip to CR and The Top of the World Estate is a fabulous place to stay! This property holds the most breathtaking view that we’ve ever seen. Our party of 9 (we had the guesthouse too) enjoyed all of the adventures that CR has to offer during the day and we couldn’t wait to get back to enjoy the house in the evening. We cooked family suppers most nights and the house had all the supplies we needed for large, great meals. There was an abundance of pots, pans and cooking utensils. Heading to the beach, we had plenty of towels, umbrellas and chairs. The house manger was always available for every question we needed answered. We never ran out of bath towels and the pool always felt amazing. A sweet cleaning lady came and helped keep everything tidy. That was a true blessing for a house rental! The gifted bottles of wine, laundry detergent and extra toilet paper did not go unnoticed. We learned the term pura vida on our CR vacation!

Zindis dropped the ball on our stay! NO support for things gone wrong. They're NOT doing their job!
The house is fabulous and in a stunning location. The experience in it was poor due to Zindis' lax management!
There were 10 of us in our group. Our house manager told us we would have DAILY cleaning.
1. The 1st afternoon, we told the house manager that we were VERY low on laundry detergent. She said she would have the housekeeper take some the next day.
2. So, we left the door into the house from the garage unlocked, BUT she didn't show, so:
• Garbage was accumulated,
• The kitchen and bathrooms weren't clean or beds made,
• there was no laundry detergent,
• shampoo and conditioner were never replenished , and
• the ice maker was NOT making ice—who ever heard of a tropical vacation without ice?!?!
3. With 10 people on a very active vacation, we needed all that regularly.
Even though the housekeeper did not return, the manager took some detergent the 3rd day so we could at least wash pool towels. She called an appliance repair man who fixed the ice maker to some extent.
We expected that, having not come the second day, the maid would surely come the 3rd. After a long, active outing, though, we returned to a 2nd day of no cleaning service.
When we contacted Zindis’ house manager, she called the housekeeper, then told us she had the week of Santa Semana off. She offered NO further explanation, apology, or suggestion that other cleaning would be arranged, despite telling us we would have daily cleaning.
Finally, the last 2 days (even Easter), the housekeeper arrived and attempted to clean.
The shocks are that:
• if the housekeeper or the owners had told Zindis she was planning on taking the week off, Zindis did NOTHING for alternative cleaning yet told us it would be daily,
• when we told them she did not arrive the 2nd day, there was NO apparent effort to have the house cleaned the next day.
• In fact, when she continued not to arrive, the “manager” finally told us that “the maid is a gift from the owners, usually has a cost of $35 per cleaning but since is Easter week, unfortunately they give her the weekend off.” We had arrived on Tuesday, so the next days were clearly NOT “the weekend” yet we received NO cleaning on them! NOR was there ANY mention from Zindis that there would be no cleaning services either of those 2 days
• The only door that worked to the pool is off the track & difficult!
Between that & the ice maker, it is CLEAR that Zindis is NOT examining the house for ongoing maintenance and repairs. nor giving owners their $ worth.
