Located a mile to the beach in a quiet & private gated community called Vista Lapas Estates, La Casita is not a condo, where you hear your neighbors & parties, but a private house where you hear nothing but birds, waves & howler monkeys. We’re tucked away on a hill just above Calle Hermosa, so we’re close to restaurants, tours, nightlife and markets but you feel like you’re in a private reserve with luxurious accommodations and very easy access. We urge you to read our reviews as we feel our guests best describe this property; it's truly a hidden gem among VRBO listings. La Casita is perfect for couples coming to Costa Rica for the first time, or anyone wanting to travel alone – you’ll have as much or as little help as you need to make a fun, safe and memorable vacation! We're about an hour and 20 minutes to the SJO airport so we're one of the closest beach areas to San Jose. We'll send you plenty of information on transportation & tours as well as helpful tips on currency exchange & non tourist but fun excursions. You’ll immediately feel right at home when you’re welcomed with a basket of a variety of local fruit, an arrangement of tropical flowers from our gardens, and of course a sample of our favorite Costa Rican coffee! Waking up to the panoramic ocean views from your private terrace with the sounds of the waves and the exotic birds around the property is something you will remember forever. This location allows you to be so close to the beach, shopping, groceries & nightlife, but you get to experience the quiet, natural life of Costa Rica. You may have read about the roads in Costa Rica and how bad they are, the access to La Casita is on a brick road so very easy access to come and go as you like. The Scarlet Macaws & Toucans fly by daily & we frequently have the white faced monkeys in the neighboring trees along with an abundance of iguanas, hummingbirds & butterflies around the property. The small indigo blue tiled pool on the terrace is wonderful for rejuvenating & cooling off during the day or relaxing with a glass of wine while enjoying your tropical paradise. This is not just an ocean view – it’s the ocean and all the exotic wildlife in the canopy of trees, how better to enjoy the rain forests of Costa Rica! La Casita is fully air-conditioned, so on those very hot & humid days you’ll be kept cool, although our ocean breezes are often the preference to enjoy a comfortable environment. With our silent ceiling fans and screened windows, you can relax and listen to the sounds of nature. The large picture windows in the living room and bedroom offer a generous view of not only the spectacular Pacific Ocean, but the rim of the rain forest where you’ll spot several of the famous Costa Rican birds. We have a well-equipped gourmet kitchen, perfect for preparing those romantic dinners which you might want to enjoy under the stars on your private terrace. La Casita is also on a deep water well, so our water on the property is perfect for drinking! Our fruit trees, including banana, lime, papaya, mango and avocado trees, in addition to an herb garden, are all for our guests to enjoy! If you’re a foodie, this is definitely a dream location for your vacation. We’ll also give you pointers where to shop for local produce and where to avoid. From the house you can hike to the nearby waterfalls where you're sure to see the blue morpho butterflies, white faced monkeys and the bright green & black dart frogs. We live two houses away from La Casita, so we’re close enough if you need something, but far enough for you to have your privacy. There are a couple of surf boards you're welcome to use. If you're traveling with friends, we have another 2 bedroom vacation rental about 100 meters away from la casita, in the same neighborhood: https://www.vrbo.com/948824 - you can also read the reviews from that house as the location is the same neighborhood – same views, same monkeys! There are plenty of restaurants and a small market in Playa Hermosa, all within 5 minutes, but the larger town of Jaco is only a 10 minute drive where you'll find shopping, restaurants, large grocery stores and night life. We're happy to help you book tours at zip lines, Crocodile Man Tours, whitewater rafting or fishing. World class surfing or stand up paddle boarding are just minutes away at our beach, or we can suggest fun and safe beach areas outside of Playa Hermosa. We’ve lived here full time for over 21 years, so we can help tailor your vacation to excursions you would enjoy – even those non-touristy day trips! We can normally get discounts on any local tours – between 10 to 15%, including the Vista Los Suenos Canopy, which is a must do! Should you want to explore more beaches, the road south is lined with small beach towns to Manuel Antonio National Park is only an hour away. We look forward to making your time at La Casita unforgettable! Features of La Casita: Panoramic Ocean view from every room in the house Easy Access - you just don't find these views AND easy access in Costa Rica - And only an hour & half to San Jose airport! 2 hammocks, under the fan on the covered terrace Private sun tanning area on the terrace Private gated community Private pool / terrace with amazing ocean & valley views Easy access to HWY 34 (one mile on brick / paved road) Fully air conditioned and fans throughout Deep water well/perfect drinking water Washer & Dryer on site Pillow top memory foam bed (mentioned in reviews - extremely comfortable) Free WIFI Smart TV with Netflix Well-equipped gourmet kitchen with gas oven /stove, Brazilian granite counters espresso machine, microwave, toaster, blender, rice cooker.... In-house Safe Access to 200 acres of hiking trails Assistance with all travel needs Herb garden with fresh herbs year round LOCAL ATTRACTIONS / TOURS / ACTIVITIES Zip-lining: By far the best on the central pacific coast is Vista Los Suenos Canopy, 20 minutes from the house. The guides are so fun with safety as a priority. Sport Fishing: We have world class sport fishing in this area. From the high end Los Suenos Resort & Marina (20 minutes away) to a local panga boat that is just plain fun fishing & very reasonably priced – 20 minutes away to the south. And then there’s Quepos about 45 minutes to the south with Marina Pez Vella. Bird Watching: Well known for the variety of birds in this country, but here at the house you’ll see Toucans, Scarlet Macaws, Herons and Falcons – daily. ATV tours: There are several within 10 minutes, we recommend the package Zip line and ATV with Vista Los Suenos Canopy. If you’re looking for a private ATV tour, we recommend Jaguar riders. White Water Rafting: A favorite in this area, H2O adventures is simply the best. The water is warm, the guides are great, but the visuals of the canyons you will never forget. They also have tubing down the river, kayaking but my favorite is the rafting. Surfing lessons for all levels and ages & experience. 5 minutes from the house for more advanced or 10 minutes for less experience. Did you know the average temperature of the water here is 84! Year round warm ocean water!!! Sea Kayaking: There are a couple Kayaking companies within 20 minutes. We like Herradura bay for beginners (or a bit more timid). It’s beautiful and has a couple restaurants you can stop by after / before. Hikes: From the house you can hike for hours. The trails take you to various waterfalls and then the most fabulous view of Jaco, the Nacoya Peninsula and down to Manuel Antonio. \*\* Our cleaning fee is $50 and check-in time is 2pm and checkout time is 11am ## Property amenities ### Beach -

Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronald H. 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just Amazing Every aspect of our week stay was amazing. Kelie, our host, was a 11 out of 10\. Not only is she willing to impart her expertise of the area over her 25 years of living in CR but does so with a friendly demeanor. Hands down, epic fishing and not only did we catch 6 sailfish, yellowfin tuna, mahi and AJs, Kelie arranged it all and went with us. She put on a clinic of ‘how to hook sails’ and the icing on the cake was she made poke and tuna steaks with our catch. Simply the best. Do not hesitate to book. We will definitely be back. I could literally go on and on with how incredible La Casita is and the surrounding area. Thank you, Ty, Ty Kelie. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e7046a50-e483-469e-9632-7c87f506e8c8-1748972706006.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/edb7839e-4b8b-4103-9b9c-e22d64bd2d82-1748972797521.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ronald H.

Owners on site very helpful.. spectacular view real cute and cozy. Well laid out, great instructions really really liked the kitchen set up. The owner was very helpful in sharing with us. All the local must see less and she was spot on every time. Can’t wait till our next trip will definitely book at this exact same location again.. that’s the ultimate recommendation is saying that I will back it up with staying there again. ##### Bill Z.

Easy to find, gated, and lovely. We used the plunge pool every late afternoon and would watch the macaws and toucans come by. Kelie was amazing to work with and had fabulous recommendations for us. Hope to be back soon! ##### Jennifer L.

Being able to stay at La Casita and work with Kelie feels like a gift! The house has everything a couple would need and more. It was impeccable, cozy, and the view is breathtaking. Kelie had wonderful recommendations for dining, adventure, and anything else that came with the vacation. We would love to return to Costa Rica in the future, and without a doubt would stay here. ##### Erin N.

Being able to do some laundry was a true bonus! We didn't find any walking trails, though short strolls on the nearby roads provided some scenic views. ##### Karen Q.

We loved the location and privacy it provided. It was spacious enough for the 2 of us. Beautiful property, was very comfortable bed, adequate kitchen. It was nice to have fresh eggs and grapefruit from Kelie. Kelie was a great host, available and provide any type of information that we needed. We went on some adventurous runs and hikes in the area. ##### Amanda B.

We stayed 8 days and Kelie was so helpful throughout our stay. Before we arrived she sent so much helpful info and tips. She also provided a ton of suggestions for good restaurants and things to do, and even left us fresh fruit and brought us over eggs from her hens. The view is absolutely stunning, and it’s literally 5 minutes from the beach and restaurants. The house is super clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to cook meals. When we make our way back to CR, we would love to stay here again! ##### Kayli B.

It has a delightful cottage feel to it and was very well equipped. It was easy to find, with clear instructions on how to get there. Kelie was very quick to respond to any questions we had and she also provided many helpful tips for both the property and the local attractions. It is in a peaceful spot, not overlooked, but still close to many great beaches and restaurants. The property suits a couple looking for some where peaceful, but not too far from more lively areas. The locality is great on the beautiful coast south of Jaco and whilst a car is not essential, it is recommended to explore the many isolated beaches and national parks nearby. All in all we had a great time and will return. ##### Navid S.

The view is exquisite. It's easy to find and in a very convenient location, but very private and safe. 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. ##### Michelle G.

The house itself is beautiful, clean and well laid out for a relaxing vacation. We both loved the little pool (more like a large bathtub, really) and we spent most of our days just lounging around, reading and enjoying the view and weather. It’s also located within an easy drive from the tourist town of Jaco for those looking for a more adventurous time. ##### Christian C.

Kelie has created the amazing La Casita, in this spectular setting, overlooking Playa Hermosa, where sunrises rival sunsets, howler monkeys can be heard (and occasionally spotted) in the trees above and toucans and macaws fill the skies. This is heaven and Kelie is the perfect host. ##### Roger B.

Ours second time in Costa Rica and staying at La Casita was even more amazing than the last time. From the updates of La Casita ( that deck and view is to die for!!!) to more new and exciting local recommendations from the wonderful Kelie: everything made for an extraordinary stay. We definitely will be back! ##### Lisa R. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2019 ---
