Romantic Private Hermosa Beach Villa & Pool, 4 min to Beach Amazing Ocean Views!

There's something about arriving at La Casita that makes it easy to leave the rest of the world behind. Perhaps it's the panoramic views stretching across the lush tropical jungle toward the Pacific Ocean, the sound of birds in the trees, or simply knowing there's nowhere you have to be.

Mornings begin with coffee on your private terrace as the jungle comes to life. Scarlet macaws soar overhead, toucans visit the trees, and monkeys, butterflies, and even sloths occasionally make an appearance. It's a little reminder that you're somewhere quite special.

The private pool may be where you find yourself lingering longest. Take a refreshing dip, settle into the hammock with a good book, or enjoy dinner outdoors as the afternoon light fades over the ocean.

Inside, La Casita offers all the comforts of home, including a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable pillow-top bed, air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, and laundry facilities. A welcome basket of tropical fruit, fresh flowers, local coffee, and eggs from our hens adds a personal touch.

When adventure calls, Playa Hermosa's beautiful surf beach is just four minutes away, with Jacó's restaurants and shops only ten minutes down the road. Explore our private jungle trails and waterfalls, visit Manuel Antonio National Park, or discover the area's world-class sportfishing. As a local tournament angler, your host can help arrange trusted charters with exclusive guest discounts.

Tucked inside a peaceful gated community, La Casita offers privacy with friendly local hosts nearby whenever you need a recommendation or assistance.

Our guests often say the photos can't quite capture the beauty and tranquility of this special place. We invite you to read their reviews and discover why so many return.

Whether you're here for adventure, a romantic escape, or simply a change of pace, La Casita is an adults-only retreat where the days are yours to enjoy.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. A Smart TV comes with cable channels, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and an espresso maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

OMG - BEST STAY EVER! This is no lie - one of the best VRBO's we've ever stayed in - LOVE LOVE the plunge pool to relax in after a day of hot day of exploring around the area. The host was VERY helpful in local recommendations and just going down the road to the bar/beach views was a fantastic. We highly recommend you eat fish any chance you get in this area. - Read her guidebook and do 2-3 of them if you can! VERY clean VRBO and definitely worth it! - Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

This could be the greatest place I have ever stayed. It is nicer than it looks in the photos. To be sure it is simple and just a one bedtime home, but it was sooooooo delightful. So romantic, so peaceful and quiet, incredible views, with so much so close by with a car. We loved the deck with the hammocks and pool, the kitchen was great with all we needed to make several of our own meals. Completely undisturbed for a week of calm. The owner is so responsive and helpful pointing out great fruit markets, restaurants, and activities. Bed is comfy, shower is warm, water is clean(we drank it all week).

Every morning we watched macaws, toucans, hummingbirds and many other species of birds while enjoying our coffee on the deck overlooking the ocean. We will definitely be back! Communication was on point from the beginning until the departure.. do yourself a favor and spend your time at this property.
