Casita on top of the world, 2 bedroom Guest house for rent, Playa Hermosa


Located in Blue Flag community of Playa Hermosa; Guanacaste, within the exclusive gated community of Monte Paraiso and behind the private walls of the Casa Cole Compound you will find Casita Cole.  This 1200 Sq Ft, 2 bedroom, 2 bath wonder of classic Costa Rican Design will absolutely charm her guest with her thoughtful and unique amenities. The bedrooms and baths are very spacious and it will be hard to find a better view, especially from the master bedroom.

A large living room separates the two en suite bedrooms and adds to the feeling spaciousness. There is nothing small about the casita. There is a fully equipped kitchen ready to assist you in preparing any meals, or for a private Chef.

Just outside awaits your private infinity pool with views of the Gulf of Papagayo that will have you reminiscing about the sunsets for years to come.

Upon entering the private gates of Casita Cole you turn off onto your own private drive to the casita. Casa and Casita Cole are located in the same property, both homes can be rented separately or together for the same group of guests. If you only rent Casita, you will still have your own private pool, parking and additional amenities such as: Housekeeper included (Housekeeper on the property from 8:15am - 2:00pm, 6 days per week, Mon – Sat), smart TV, Roku TV, hardwired Internet, smoke / carbon monoxide detectors, Magic Jack phone system providing free calls to the US and Canada, basic spices, basic soaps, basic paper products, coffee grinder, rice cooker and a popcorn air popper.

Great Home On Top Of The Hill
The home was a fantastic choice for us. Nestled on top of a hill overseeing Playa Hermosa, we had a great, unobstructed view north of the city. The sunset is off to the left behind the neighboring hills. Quiet, secure, spacious, and beautiful.

Lovely property with exceptional view
This house was perfect for our weeklong stay in Costa Rica. It is well stocked with everything we needed for the stay including several home cooked meals. Staff/management are readily available and helpful. The issue mentioned by previous guests about the pool has been resolved; we found it to be the right temperature. Please note that this house is located above the town and walking isn’t really an option. A rental car is best as transfers are expensive.

The casita is lovely, the view is spectacular and the AC works.
My wife has been daily coating herself with OFF. Baking soda in the evenings on all the bites. I do not know if it is the area or the Casita, but each morning she awakes with more insect bites. She was ready to go home on day 2.

Absolutely Beautiful!!!!!
From the moment we arrived we felt as if we were in heaven! This is one of the most beautiful places i have ever been. The description only began to describe the beauty and serenity i felt during my entire vacation. The house was absolutely gorgeous, our conceirge was awesome and always took care of any needs we had. Also, the maid service made things convenient. We have already recommended this to several people and plan to rent from beachfront again. I recommend going to africa mia zoo, playa hermosa beach, ginger restaraunt, there is so much to do! We plan to vacation here every year, maybe even purchase property!!

perfect getaway
the view is as amazing as it is in the pictures. the house is convenient to everything and after visiting some of the other beaches Playa Hermosa was quiet, great restaurants and friendly and our favorite over Playa Cocoa and Tamarindo. I know one person mentioned the pool was cold and well it was when you first get in but after about 3-5 minutes it was wonderful. A cool drink in your hand in the pool looking over that view watching the sunset was incredible. It was very windy as we learned is normal for February and the windows in the master would rattle but a little bit of cardboard kept the quiet through the night. Waking up to that view of the water is an amazing way to start the day.

Amazing view
We were in Costa Rica for 12 nights and stayed in 3 different locations while there. 2 nights at a thermal resort in Rincon de la Viejo, 7 nights in Tamarindo and we finished our trip with our last 3 nights at Playa Hermosa, and the views were breathtaking.. The house was easy to get to, and a short drive to town for dinners. There were people staying in the main house while we were there, so our pool wasn’t as private as we’d hoped for, but it was a minor inconvenience. We had planned to spend the days at our pool but the sun never hit the water so it was very cold,, we ended up driving to a close beach. If it’s amazing views you’re looking for this is the place, if enjoying the pool is your goal, probably not.

A MUST IN COSTA RICA!
When I tell you this view is unlike anything you have ever seen before, please believe me and book this VRBO right away!! This is truly an incredible place to stay run by an incredible group of people. The place is well kept and very safe as it is in a double gated community. This place is perfect for two couples. Each room has its own A/C and the house stays cool in the hot weather. The pool is so nice! This place was FILLED with every kitchen tool needed and so many towels, so there was never a worry that we would run out or not have the things we needed. The washer and dryer in the unit was perfect and they even had laundry soap for us already. Zindis group is super helpful and they even helped us set up a couples massage in the home! While you are here, I would highly recommend going to Coconutz brewhouse and Playa Penca (a hidden gem!!). We will be back. I couldnt have imagined a better place to stay in costa rica than this one.

Best View !
My husband and I had a great stay at Casita Cole from Feb1-April 5/2024 . Zindis was good to work with . Our house manager , Edgar is the greatest ! Any little issue we had he was right on it . On a larger issue he was so helpful He checked in with us a number of times to make sure all was going well . The world needs more Edgars ! When we booked the property we didn't know the maid came with the rental . Carmen and Sailyn were great , very friendly and trustworthy . Casita Cole was perfectly located on top of the hill with the best views of Playa Hermosa and the ocean . We spent most of our time in the pool and enjoying the deck . The pool was about 3 feet deep but was always warm enough as it has a heater when it needs it . It was hard to leave the hill ! lol Casita Cole was very spacious and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed . The Casita is a bit dated , has one small TV , a bit small for the space but the beds were comfy, has lots of towels and it had atmosphere .

Beautiful view
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean with the exception of teeny tiny bugs on the kitchen counter. I like to run in the mornings but there was no place to do that. Two very steep entrances and exits and then the main road with no shoulder. So if you are a morning Walker or runner, you will have to look elsewhere. The area is quiet and gated. We went down to coco beach to eat most nights. The infinity pool was absolutely ice cold. Even at 99 degrees out it was difficult to get in it. Would love to have had a skimmer to clean the debris off before getting in. They have people come to clean it but it gets dirty again quickly. Still a great view and a very private area. If you’re trying to get away from the hub bub then this is a good place for you.

What a wonderful vacation! Pre-trip communication with the property manager was very timely and clear. Property was truly beautiful and extremely comfortable—furniture, beds, well-stocked kitchen, outdoor furniture, WIFI, Roku were all fabulous. Daily check-ins from the property manager contained restaurant and activity recommendations, and daily housekeeping kept everything clean and straightened up. View from the covered patio was breathtaking. Thank you for an incredible stay!
