A second home in beautiful Playa Hermosa and it rents out all year round. This fully-fitted bungalow in a gated community, along with 25 other bungalows, is thoughtfully decorated and in tip top shape. Closed and gated complex, called Hermosa Bungalows shares a central swimming pool with pool bar and sits by the ocean at one of most famous surfing beaches in Costa Rica - Hermosa Beach.
The perfect starting point for Costa Rica style adventures in all directions and the perfect vacation home. The two bright bedrooms have French windows that lead onto a wide back balcony - perfect for star gazing or bird watching. We have an Internet Connection and cable TV.
The kitchen, with granite countertop is fully-fitted with everything you need including Guanacaste wood breakfast bar and service for outdoor dining. All the furniture is handmade to our designs by local craftsmen. From the front veranda there are ocean and wilderness views and it is quiet at any time of the day except for the birdsong.
Wander one way along the beach at sunset to small hotels and restaurants. In the other direction, the miles of virtually unspoiled beach lead to a turtle rescue sanctuary at the far end with just a few scattered surfers in the waves. The ocean at your doorstep is of Surf Competition standard and the sand is dark and soft. Take day trips to waterfalls, botanical gardens, rain forests, and volcanoes.
Come home to hot showers, air conditioning and some of the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see in Costa Rica.
From Hermosa Beach it is just an eight-minute drive into the town of Jaco which has many shops and every kind of restaurant you might desire. A 15-minute drive takes you to swanky Los Suenos with its hotel, casino, and famous yachting harbor.

Hermosa Beach Bungalow - Features
Quiet. While many people believe they want to be on the ocean front the reality is that there will be increasingly heavy traffic on the road as well as traffic in and out of the complex which will disturb residents of those bungalows. Ocean spray from surf is also more extreme meaning increased need for maintenance. Being away from the pool is also an enormous advantage during the busy months.
Jungle. #25 has an unblockable ocean view over the entrance road and the beach is less than a minute away. Also the back of the property provides the best of two worlds. While you still enjoy all amenities of the ocean being right there you also can enjoy the jungle and see more of the exotic birds and other wildlife from the back row - it is the last row of 7.
Back balcony. Back row houses are also unique in Hermosa Bungalows, having French doors, which open onto rear decks. The additional sense of space and light that this feature gives to the house cannot be overestimated. Views from the bedrooms are spectacular and are completely missing from bungalows anywhere else in the property.
Planting. Hermosa Bungalow owners individually finish and style their properties. #25 benefits from the enhancement of additional trees and flowers around the property as well as a piece of land by the bungalow on which we have planned to plant fruit trees.
Spacious layout. We selected the single bathroom layout because of it’s spaciousness. Bungalows with the extra bathroom are significantly more cramped for living space. Rear decks also increase the size of the living space. Finally, specially designed modular furniture provides unique flexibility that is not obstructive in the way that traditional furniture is.
Improvements
If you are looking at buying at Hermosa Bungalows be sure to compare bungalow 25 to other bungalows and appreciate the difference.
- Upgraded AC
- Upgraded overhead fans
- Upgraded water holding tank
- Upgraded flushable water filter
Upgraded wood work. Bungalow has extra features such as solid doors and extra support beams. Decks have recently been updated to teak for a lifetime of service.
Interior design. Bungalow 25 benefits from having all made-to-order furniture and a designed layout that makes the best of the space available with many aesthetic touches, which are noticeably absent from many of the standard Hermosa Bungalows. Substantial additional storage inside furniture and surfboard racks mean that you can live in No. 25 without clutter. So the house stays looking tidy and stylish. The beds are locally made too - with drawers below the queen and stackable twins. All locally made furniture is included in the purchase with additional furnishings optional. We sleep 6 with the sofa bed or blow up mattresses.
