Looking for a serene beach side location with a bustling town nearby? Our HERMOSA paradise is perfect! An Internet Connection too! So take your laptop. This fully-fitted bungalow is thoughtfully decorated with all the comforts you'll enjoy coming home to. Along with 25 other bungalows, it shares a central swimming pool and tiki hut bar and sits by the ocean at one of Costa Rica's most famous surfing beaches. "HERMOSA" is set in a fenced property, Hermosa Bungalows, that is staffed 24 hours every day. The bungalow also has Internet Access. Stylishly and simply decorated, HERMOSA’s 2 bright bedrooms have French windows that lead onto a wide back balcony - perfect for star-gazing or bird-watching. The sleeping arrangements are flexible and allows as much space as is available if there are only 2 guests - but can extend to sleep 6 with the help of the sectional sofa in the living room. Many interesting and carefully chosen pictures line the walls and we have created a real home from home. The kitchen has everything you need with a Guanacaste breakfast bar which is also used as a serving hatch for outdoor dining. There's also a small drop-leaf table that seat 6. All the furniture is handmade to our designs by local craftsmen. From the front veranda there are ocean and wilderness views and it's quiet at any time of the day except for the birdsong. If you want entertainment besides the wildlife, there's cable TV and over 40 Cds to enjoy. From Hermosa Beach it's just an 8 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 it's hotel, casino and famous yachting harbor. Back home, 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 to wave at. 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, A/C and some of the most beautiful sunsets you'll ever see. There are binoculars in the bungalow if you want to marvel at twice as many stars as are already visible! There's colorful birds and butterflies and a visiting fisherman who comes to Hermosa Bungalows with fresh tuna at amazingly low prices. A stay at HERMOSA is a holiday that offers everything you could expect from a lush, tropical hideaway - and at a reasonable rate. A 24-hour management company is on call in case you encounter any problems with your stay, and the home is maintained on a regular basis with cleaning, pest control, landscaping, and pool services. There is a lockbox in the bedroom. I allow smoking on the veranda, of course. Please drop me a line with any questions.
