Second Casa Mia Visit

We traveled to Costa Rica and villa Casa Mia with our whole family to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary (July 20). Our group of 19 ages from 2 1/2 to 71. My wife and I had stayed at the villa before with a group of 15 in 2020, so we knew the villa would be perfect for the family. The rooms are wonderful beds are very comfortable. Carlos and Nicole are great to deal with and will help with any problem you have. We hired Erik to cook and plan our excurtions and transportation from the airport. He was awesome! Went horseback riding on the beach, did the monkey tour, surfing lessons, trip to a private beach for the day with a cookout on the beach, deep sea fishing (our group caught amberjack and wahoo) and snorkling. We played games as the villa has great locations to sit and visit. The pool was used at least 3 times per day! Kids loved it and so did the adults. The anniversary dinner Erik cooked was wonderful and he even had a small 4 man Costa Rican band. Sonja the maid is great cleaning all the time and she will also do your laundry for a small fee. Having a small convience store down the street and nice beach bars and restaurants also a plus. The place is awesome and the beach with surfing and great sunsets another plus. Couldn't recommend it more! We had a blast.

Wonderful family reunion

Our family of 20 people, from babies to grandmas, spent our reunion here and we had a fantastic time. The hosts are super accommodating and had lots of ideas for where we might want to visit. We hired their recommended driver a for the week, which meant we didn't have to think about transportation. Chef Liza put out an amazing breakfast and dinner for us every day. It was better than any of the restaurants we tried, and she even made extra dishes for the little kids who are picky eaters. Our housekeeper Sonia took care of all the cleaning and even did our laundry for us too! It was the most relaxing trip this group haroup has ever taken. had!bre6abd

Fantastic Villa with Very Friendly and Accommodating Hosts

We had such a wonderful stay at Nicole and Carlos' villa. From the beginning, even before we arrived, Nicole was extremely responsive and helpful- offering to coordinate local chefs, massages, and transportation / activities as needed. During our stay, Carlos was available in person and via What's App for any questions. The villa was beautiful, cleaned every day, and rooms were very comfortable with cold AC. Our group of 12 used the pool every day and enjoyed eating outside with the gorgeous views of the ocean. A dream vacation! Thank you Carlos and Nicole for your hospitality!!

Tico family birthday week

They property was very nice. Every room was air-conditioned and had its own bathroom. The views were amazing with macaws perching in the trees. The living and spaces are all outside with covered areas and fans. The only thing we didn't have was an oven which made cooking for our party of 16 a little tricky.. but we improvised. The location was perfect with many restaurants and groceries nearby.

Absolutely Fantastic

The property comes exactly if not better than advertised. The hosts Carlos Granera and family along with their staff made this a very memorable vacation. Sonya was fantastic keeping our place clean and tidy, providing laundry service as well. We hired Chef Erick to cook for us every night allowing us to experience many Costa Rica delights. Carlos not only is the owner and host but adds a personal touch providing concierge services, lining up tours and transportation. The house is located mere steps away from the beach which is beautiful, not really great for swimming, but awesome for watching the surfers. Sitting at the coffee bar in the morning watching the surfers, lizards, birds and squirrels is a great way to pass the time. We had a party of 13 and still had 3 unused bedrooms. The colonial style of the house with the outdoor kitchen, living area and swimming pool makes it very easy to relax and enjoy the day while watching the youngsters in the pool. The unanimous concensus of the family was best vacation ever. Thank you Carlos and Nicole for providing such a nice place for us to make great family memories in.

The Que Dawgs were in Town & Owt!!

Overall, this beach front property was absolutely fantastic! Ample space for everyone to have their own space and privacy, and access to the Black Sand beach couldn't have been better! However, some simple improvements could be made, such as televisions in every room, and a stronger wi-fi system comparable to the large size of the property. Also, the water is heated via solar power, so if there is a lot of cloud cover, like during our stay and it being the rainy season, your showers may be somewhat cool, rather than warm or hot. But as stated earlier, overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the property and the Granera's were fantastic hosts. Carlos G. scheduled our ATV adventure as well as co-opted with a transportation service to get one of our Fraternity Bros. to the airport who had to depart earlier than planned. Playa Hermosa's location was conveniently located near several convenient stores and eateries and less than a 15 mins. drive to Jaco. Playa Hermosa will definitely be our go-to property for a guys or couples' trip with our ladies in the future. Pura Vida!!!!!!

Outdoor living at the beach

So many things to love about this property: 1) Communication with Carlos and Nicole was always quick. 2) The views to the beach were so beautiful. Our son was married on the deck overlooking the ocean. Scarlet Macaw pairs flying over all day long. Gorgeous sunsets. Simply beautiful. 3) The pool was perfect for relaxing, something we all desperately needed. 4) All the bedrooms have good air conditioning. Beds were comfortable with nice linens. 5) Lots of great restaurants close by. Our favorite: Jerah Thai in Jaco. Also, try the empanadas just up the road and fish tacos in Jaco! A few things to keep in mind: 1) There will be bugs – mosquitos, spiders, cockroaches – it’s a rainforest, plan for them. Thank goodness for the many geckos and bats! 2) All the group living space is outdoors. Because we were there in rainy season and had torrential downpours almost daily, that meant we had to find another place to congregate in the evenings to chat and play games – we turned one of the bedrooms into our game room. 3) The kitchen is all outdoors. There is no stove. Plan appropriately. There was not a second indoor kitchen as listed in the description. 4) The local power and water went out multiple times during our stay. At first I was unhappy as it came at a very inopportune time, but after a few days we just got use to it. It comes back. Likewise, the internet works right in the kitchen area only, and sometimes unreliably there, a problem for those needing to still do some work. Just plan to unplug and you’ll be less frustrated all around. 5) The house is on the major road and trucks run ALL NIGHT LONG with their noisy airbrakes. Likewise, Sunday nights at the bar next door can also be VERY LOUD. 6) There was a single hair dryer and iron for the whole villa. A few tips: 1) There is a bus between SJO to Jaco that’s very inexpensive and runs every few hours during the day. We used this as we had multiple children traveling on different days and times. Way cheaper than the $150 we were quoted for a private driver. 2) There is a MaxiPali in Jaco for grocery needs. 3) The tile is slippery!!! Use caution!

50th Wedding Anniversary Vacation

Absolutely amazing stay at Casa Mia! I stubbled upon this house after our initial VRBO listing cancelled on me 2 months before our trip but it was the absolutely best thing that could have happened to us. There were 15 in our group ranging in age from 75 to 1. Nicole reached out to me almost immediately upon making the reservation and helped with making transportation arrangements, setting up excursions and making sure anything we needed was available at the house. She also recommended chef Kerry and Liza who were amazing and made the trip that much better (I highly recommend them). Having them was the highlight to many in our group as the food was fantastic and they also did all the clean up. Carlos met us at the house upon our arrival and gave us a complete rundown along with answering any questions we had. He was always available via WhatsApp and was quick to help resolve any issues which where all very minor. Silvia was a quiet wonder! She would generally straighten up and clean in the mornings or while we were away on an excursion. She did a fantastic job! If you're from the US, just know this is not a typical home. All the rooms face a courtyard (with pool) and all the gathering areas are all outside, which we loved! Also, you are right on the beach, which is black sand, so it gets very hot, but was perfect in the mornings and evenings. Also, this is a surfing spot so the waves get pretty big and there can be strong rip currents so not necessarily ideal for snorkeling but you can play in the water and jump in the waves, you just need to be aware. If you have the opportunity to stay here I would not hesitate and would book ASAP before it gets snatched up. Pura Vida!!!

Best Vacation ever!!

This property is fabulous for a large group. We had 15 and everybody had a room of choice. We decided to hire the chefs, Kerry & Lisa which I would totally recommend. Provided us wonderful meals 3 times a day. We mixed it up a day or two going without breakfast & lunch when we went to the rainforest, but honestly hire a the chef, It's a no-brainer! Carlos is beyond the ultimate host. Arranging surfing lessons, massages, horseback & rainforest excursions, golf and shopping, meaning reservations & transportation. With a quick phone/text he was on it. We had a mixed adventure and pool dynamic group, and everyone was accommodated. We hated to leave and can't wait to come back. Nicole & Carlos are the essence of what makes Costa Rica the beautiful country it is! Pura Vida

Great Family Getaway!

Carlos and Nicole are awesome Property Owners! I was communicating with Nicole for months prior to the trip. She arranged our transportation to and from the Airport, COVID testing at the property before our return flights to the USA, provided pack n plays for the infants, high-chairs, and the list goes on and on. Carlos was on-property when we arrived to give us a tour and show us around. He also arranged our National Park Tour and Waterfall Tours during the trip which were highlights to say the least. We brought 13 people with us on our trip ( 5 adults and 8 kids). The house is great and very secure. It was kept clean daily by Sonya and she will do your laundry if requested. We had Liza and Cary prepare most of our meals during the stay and they were great and the kids loved the food. We loved the outdoor living areas and were well protected from the sun when needed. Access to the beach is great, just be aware the ocean is not ideal for swimming and the black sand gets very hot! We were able to watch surfers in the water and the sunsets each evening were great! There are a plenty of restaurants within walking distance and also convenience stores if you need anything. Overall it was a great trip and we would recommend this house to families and groups looking for a great time!

They helped us plan excursions, got my husbands hat back when he left it in the van and even offered to pick up some needed items from the grocery store! There was always someone on site cleaning and she was also very accommodating and helpful with whatever we needed. There are so many good things to say that I could go on and on, but I will just say that we will regard them as friends not just rental property owners.

Just Perfect

Amazing!! We stayed with a group of 14 adults celebrating Mom and Dad’s 50th wedding anniversary and couldn’t have a had a better time. (It would be a great place with kids too, we just needed to get away from ours) The surroundings the beach and pool were so relaxing. The surf is a little rough but we all swam in the ocean and loved watching all the surfers. Might be a little much for smaller kids but there are plenty of close beaches that are more gentle. I highly recommend chef Eric .... such great food and not having to worry about cooking and cleaning just added to the relaxation. The rooms were clean and daily maid service was great. A few close restaurants and bars for a little away time and a small convenience store down the street but definitely no hustle and bustle. A little road noise in 3 rooms but it didn’t bother my brothers and sister staying on that side of the villa. Communication with the host was so easy and all questions were answered quickly. Really the hosts were just amazing!!! I can’t say enough good things!!! If you are new to VRBO vacationing and a little apprehensive, just book it, they will walk you through everything and you will have a great time. We rented cars but you could absolutely get along with just taxi/uber and shuttles. The host can arrange most of that before hand. I highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing vacation.

Our stay at Casa Mia

We had a group of 16 from Vermont, North Carolina, Colorado and New Mexico. Staying at Casa Mia was absolutely amazing! First was the communication with Nicole she was so helpful with all of my questions and requests. We talked about excursions and she recommended I book the Tortuga Island catamaran early because it might book our early. Good thing we did because it was the best tour imaginable. We had a great time. Arriving at the villa around 6pm Carlos was there to meet us and give us a tour of the place. We hired Erick and his girl friend V (whose name nobody could pronounce). To cook all of our meals. They had a great dinner for us that night. The villa is all that is presented on the website and more. Beautiful beach not great swimming but awesome for watching surfers. The pool is fantastic we spent many hour in the pool. The last night Erick had a great beef tenderloin dinner and had baked Alaska for dessert. I could not recommend a villa more highly than this one, everything was perfect. Don’t forget our housekeeper Sonia quietly cleaning everything every day. If you have a large group this is definitely the place to come in Costa Rica. Spectacular!!! Pura Vida

Can't say enough about Casa Mia and the host

Carlos & Nicole were absolutely wonderful. They helped answer a million questions for me before I arrived, and helped us with a ton of things while we were there! Beforehand, Nicole helped us arrange shuttles to and from the airport, book excursions, book a masseuse to come to the house, hire a chef, and helped us plan a volunteering activity which we wanted to do while we were down there to help some less fortunate kids. While we were there Carlos helped us when somebody broke their key off in the door (oops!), helped us get transportation to town, and even helped book an excursion for us. The house was awesome, clean, and fun. Kids had plenty of fun running around on the beach, playing in the pool, and exploring. At first we were a bit nervous b/c the kids were so excited and we didn't want anybody tripping or slipping, but after the first day everybody got used to the environment. Their are restaurants nearby which you can walk to and grab lucnch or dinner, or just have some drinks. They are all opened up to the beach too so you can hang outside on the beach while sipping a cocktail. The house was a 10min taxi to town and has lots of things to do nearby. The ocean was rough but the guys swam a few times although lifeguards called us out once. There was even a surf competition right next door which we could practically watch from the backyard. All in all it was an amazing trip and I would highly recommend for large groups.

Mia Casa Stay

Wonderful vacation spot. Beautiful views, beautiful people, comfortable rooms. It was easy to walk to 4 neighborhood bar and grills. The best people in the world; starting with owner Nicole who helped get everything set up. Then meeting her husband (owner) Carlos who met us at 1am in the morning because our flight was delayed. Carlos also set up many shuttles, excursions and completey took care of us. Then meeting the quiet but efficient house keeper Sonja who quietly keep the place spotless. Then meeting our chefs Erick and wife Vinyela who made the stay extra special because we got to know them and their fabulous meals. Very nice and personable people. Accuracy on the listing could be updated. There is no apartment with separate kitchen. One of the rooms does not have a tv. To make things perfect; it would be nice to have an icemaker and an oven. Great overall experience.

A villa in paradise

Our experience was fantastic. My wife and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our 4 children their spouses and 9 grandchildren ages 3 to 10. Before our visit Nicole answer our multiple emails always within a day with clarity and detail. She set up all our side trips and arranged for a chef to cook meals and do the shopping. The chef Erik and assistant Vangela were outstanding. Due to a plane delay, we were late arriving but nonetheless we had a meal for 19 ready for us when we arrived at 8:30 pm. Carlos (Nicole's husband) was at the villa on our arrival and gave us a tour. He was also there the next morning to see if we needed anything. This villa is even more amazing than the vrbo website shows it to be.

Perfect destination for our family

Casa Mia was the ideal location and set up for our family of 17, including 8 adults & 9 children ages 5-14. Playa hermosa was spectacular & the kids enjoyed the pool. Plenty of areas to sit and relax. Outdoor living at its best. The owners (Nicole & carlos) were easy to reach, kind and very helpful. The on site maid (Sonia) kept the villa tidy for us all week. Some miscommunications with the chef led to a rocky start, but in the end he provided some great meals! Restaurant next door provided 2 for 1 drinks all week, which was a nice surprise. The home could use some renovations/maintenance (such as for loose cabinet doors, loose outdoor tiles, etc) but overall the property seemed well-kept. Beds were comfortable. There was no water pressure in the solar-heated showers, but that did not bother us terribly. We felt this property provided a very good value (location is key!!) & we would definitely stay again!!

About the host

Hosted by Granera Family

We are a family of 6, Nicole and Carlos, 3 girls and a baby boy. We love surfing and life at the beach so divide our time between San Jose and Playa Hermosa. We have an onsite manager, Diane, that will welcome you and help with any arrangements.

Why they chose this property

We love Playa Hermosa and have a property close by on the mountain. We've been coming here to vacation for the past 10 years and buying Casa Mia and remodeling the hotel has been a project we've enjoyed with all our heart.

What makes this property unique

Taking walks on the black sand beach, the surfing, the magnificent sunsets, are a few of my favorite things about living here. From the deck chairs surrounding the pool or cooking in the outdoor kitchen, you can see, feel, and hear the ocean and enjoy the breeze. Our rooms are clean and comfortable but you will prefer to read a book under the sun umbrella with a cool drink in hand.The location is perfect for many different day trips, such as canopy tours or Manuel Antonio Park, where you can see monkeys and sloths.
