Great Location

Great location with a lovely, private beach. Accommodations were nice - only suggestions would be a more comfortable couch or chairs other than the day bed in the living area and providing coffee. Overall, a very nice stay!

Quick trip

We stayed one night at Casita by Lina on the front end of a larger, group vacation. House was great, 50 yards to the ocean, several great bars/restaurants with a short walk down the beach. Would definitely stay here again, hopefully for much longer

A Gem

The only place we have stayed twice. We love it and the location to the beach. It is quiet and relaxing. We stayed for four weeks last year and three this year. Not sure of what we will do next year, since many Costa Rica prices have escalated significantly. We would recommend La Casita for a couple that want relaxation and good vibes.

Beautiful Casita by Lina

Very happy with our 2-week stay in Playa Hermosa. Our host Lina was a delight to work with and her support staff, Karol, made our stay effortless. Great location just off the beach. We enjoyed amazing weather and some great tours (LaFortuna hiking a volcano & waterfall lunch and ending at the hot springs) and a 2-hour guided jet ski experience where we saw a whale, dolphins, white faced monkeys and a crocodile. Very nice local restaurants within a few minutes walk along the beach. 10/10

Lina’s casita in Playa Hermosa is absolutely incredible!

My stay at this property was nothing short of perfect. Situated close to the beach, it offers a hassle free location and within walking distance of several fantastic restaurants. Grocery stores are conveniently nearby, and it’s just a short drive from Liberia Airport. The property itself is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and provides a private, secluded retreat. I can’t recommend this place enough – it truly exceeded all my expectations!

Paradise Slice

The only bad thing that I can say about this rental is that I only had one night in it. It is amazing and Lina was wonderful. I cannot wait to come back and have a longer stay. The beach is so close and is just amazingly peaceful.

Perfect spot in Playa Hermosa

This cottage was so cute and perfect for our needs. We felt very safe. It was well equipped and I'm sure that if we needed anything, Lina was on the property and easily reached. There's a path that takes you right to the beach and you can hear the surf. We hope to come back one day.

They were a lot of vegetation around. The beach was close but for a stay of 2 weeks, they should have had a washer and dryer. The greeting was so, so. I found that the price was too high.

La Casita in the fall

Playa Hermosa in the fall is a beautiful place to relax and take a break from the hecticness of life. La Casita is a beautiful 'cottage' only steps from the ocean! Restaurants and massages are steps from the beach! Lina and Carol are perfect host and manager who made sure that everything we wanted and needed was available! Birds,tropical hermit tree crabs, howler monkeys visit La Casita from time to time making it a nature lovers dream. The landscaping is parklike!

A perfect hideaway

We had a magical time here. A very short walk to the beach with an astounding view of the bay. The host and her assistant were so kind and very attentive. There are beach side restaurants 5 minutes away and it doesn't feel at all touristy. I strongly encourage anyone to check out this lovely guest house.

Great location

This property is in a great location - I would highly recommend it to anyone. The pics are accurate. Playa Hermosa is a great beach - we liked it more than Playa Coco and it's easy to get to. There are a few restaurants within walking distance of this place, all of them delicious and convenient. The property is nice - well appointed, air conditioning and fans, kitchen supplies, etc. That said, do not do your laundry here. The listing says laundry and when we inquired about it, the property assistant did some for us - we would've been happy to do our own. On the last day of our stay, the owner told us it cost $15. Yes, $15 for one small load of laundry - and we were not informed that there would be a cost at all! The rest of the stay was good.
