Vacation rentals with a hot tub in Playa Hermosa

Wow!!!! Great stay at AirBnb in Octocal Beach. We visited Costa Rica for our daughter’s nuptials and indeed our stay at this AirBnb was an unforgettable experience. It was an upscale home away from home. The service was excellent! The atmosphere soothing yet vibrant, calm, and relaxing. The rooms were clean, spacious with stunning views. The amenities were top notch and every needed for a home away from home was readily available in the home. I highly recommend this AirBnb and my family I, look forward to the next opportunity to visit. Many thanks to our amazing host Alina.

This place is even more beautiful than in the pictures! We especially loved the pool which was always the perfect temperature. The decor and architecture was very natural and beautiful, complete with pretty tile work and natural boho decor. There is a nice kitchen with all the utensils you need to prep food and a relaxing living area. The true beauty of this location shines in the outdoor area which features a perfect sized pool, outdoor shower, fire pit and cute seating area. The host Esteban was so welcoming and very communicative. If you are thinking about booking this location, definitely do it! You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!

We had the best time! We had a few small plumbing issues, Joel was immediately responsive and problems were solved within an hour. Restaurants: Rustico, Rural (Tamarindo), Lola’s. Beaches: playa Flamingo & Playa Avellana were our favorites. House is super family friendly with the open concept.

We traveled seeking a very private and secluded place to do some healing working and book writing as well. And Casa Skov did not dissapoint! Incredible place to truly get away from it all. At night the stars in the sky are so bright, you feel you can reach out and touch them. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable over such a sweeping, beautiful view. The house itself is beautiful clean and very modern. Good hot water, water pressure and all the things you want in a home (kitchen very stocked, plenty of dishes, towels, comfortable beds, even some sunscreen and other beach items!). The host was incredibly responsive, never leaving more than 5 minutes before responding back about anything (even our questions about the property or our curiosity about local signs and animals that they graciously answered). Anything you want they will help you with. Lovely place and lovely people. Highly recommend.

El lugar muy espacioso, tranquilo, seguro y el Airbnb se ve mucho mejor de lo que se ve en fotos, estoy seguro que volveré 🥰

We had a great stay! The place was nice, clean, and just about 300 feet from the beach, with several other beaches nearby as well. The hosts were very friendly, responsive, and gave us a warm welcome. Highly recommend!

Our family absolutely loved our stay! The bedrooms were comfortable and we had plenty of room to spread out. The view from the pool was breathtaking! Lisa was super responsive and made us feel like welcomed guests as she gave us a personal tour of the house. We highly recommend renting with the Garrett group!

The outdoor space in the house is absolutely wonderful! Spent a lot of time in the pool, hot tub, and lounging in the hammock. We had some difficultly finding the place and Jennifer was very helpful. We used Google Maps with no problem in La Fortuna, but I would use Waze here. The house has a ton of security features which made us feel super safe. It’s a great location to the nearby beaches and the grocery store. The house could use a little TLC (some kitchen cabinets falling apart, doors that don’t latch well, toilet paper holders that were loose, and could use a paint job), but none of these things took away from our wonderful time at this house and we would definitely return. Pura Vida!

This villa was very spacious and relaxing. The kitchen and gas grill allowed for us to make some meals at home which we enjoyed. It was always handy to catch one of the shuttle buses to get around the complex… Or sometimes we would just walk either was fine. We enjoyed some karaoke and the hotel pool. The beach was so quiet and serene, and we were able to do some fun activities straight from there. We had one glitched with a shower that did not drain, but our host did everything she could to get the service people in there and fix it as soon as possible. We enjoyed our stayed very much even the wildlife that walks around your backyard!!

We had a great time at Todd’s place! The pictures were beautiful, but I think it was even better in person!! The view was amazing! We enjoyed watching the sunset every night from the patio. Marco was very friendly, and quick to respond. When we come back to Coco we will definitely stay here again. Thanks again!!

Casa Serendipity was pure magic for our family. As a wellness practitioner and mama of two little ones, I’ve stayed in many places—but this was truly a sanctuary. Mariela is the most incredible host—like a 24/7 concierge angel. From airport pick-up, car rental, grocery tips, to curated local gems—she thought of everything. The home is stunning, spacious, and incredibly private, yet perfectly located to easily explore the best beaches, restaurants, and adventures. We woke to birdsong, made meals in the outdoor kitchen, lounged by the pool, and even picked fresh mangoes. It was peaceful, secure, and deeply nourishing. Every detail supported ease and connection. After full days exploring, it felt like coming home to serenity. I would stay here every time—we’re already dreaming of our return. Mariela, thank you for creating this heart-centered haven. Our whole family had the best vacation. You’ve set the bar for hospitality, and we are forever grateful. See you soon. Pura Vida!

El lugar es muy lindo, el hotel está dentro de un condominio por lo que nos sentimos siempre seguros. La casa está bien equipada y es hermosa, la piscina es súper divertida para los niños. Hay mucho espacio para las mascotas. Los anfitriones estuvieron pendientes de contestarnos. Sin dudas volveremos.

The view of this house was breathtaking. We enjoyed visiting the town of Tamarindo & seeing the sunset. If you are looking for authentic Costa Rican food make sure to visit the Sodas (what all their small restaurants are called). We enjoyed every single one of them & are very reasonably priced. We visited playa Conchal which was my favorite beach & not far but also did the Leona waterfall hike and zip lining which was so much fun & beautiful. After our activities we were able to come home to our fresh and clean airbnb and dip in the pool then end the night with Netflix or a TV series. We didn’t have the swing which would’ve been a nice photo prop, but that’s alright. We hope to come back again but with our family or friends, we love Costa Rica so much. My husband really bonded with John the security & would enjoy their night talks. We loved how he greeted us with a smile. We will miss him. Gracias amigo y saludos. Thank you Jaime for being so kind and responsive throughout our stay.

Three generations of our family (parents, children and grandchildren) spent 9 days in the Villa enjoying the pool, patio and roomy house. Our cleaner kept the house incredibly clean. The gardener did the same for the pool and yard. The well equipped kitchen had everything we required. The beach chairs and snorkelling equipment was put to good use. We can’t say enough about Ilse. She responded to our questions very effectively. We were very pleased to meet her in person when we arrived at the Villa on the first day and not just exchange texts as so often happens with Air BnB rentals. All in all, we enjoyed swimming or simply lazing in the yard. On other occasions we took day trips to several national park, beaches and zip lining. It was a relaxing holiday in a gorgeous setting. Father Rooster was the perfect setting to celebrate two birthdays. We recommend Villa Alicia for your home away from home.

We had an amazing stay this location! The condo was incredibly comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The location was perfect - close to restaurants and the beach. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Place matched the description well. It was clean - there were some bugs but to be expected in a location like this one. We saw monkeys and iguanas on the property which was cool. The home is located very close to downtown Tamirondo behind an enclosed gate so it’s very private. The restaurant across the street called the Red Door was phenomal and recommend checking it out. The pool and hot tub were nice.

El lugar está muy bien ubicado, a 12 minutos de playa avellanas y unos 30 de Tamarindo. Los hosts son increíbles y Gabriel, particularmente, es súper abierto a buscar que el cliente esté cómodo…por ejemplo, luego del check out nosotros fuimos a la playa. Como nos llenamos de arena, le consultamos a él si nos permitía usar unas duchas que habían en la zona del parqueo del Airbnb. Gabriel muy amablemente nos permitió usarla, e inclusive nos dejó usar los baños del lugar antes de irnos hacia San José de nuevo.

A nice house, big, fulll equipped. I recommend it Ac in all bedrooms

Great lodging here. The treehouse is charming and full of character. The surroundings are filled with nature and beautiful animals (including the separate and well-attended doggie rescue). This was a very pleasant retreat and I would return there if I was back in that side of Guanacaste. Also, the beaches are close from a driving perspective.
