About this property

We traveled extensively in Guanacaste before choosing Playa Hermosa as our home away from home. Playa Hermosa is only a 30-minute drive from the Liberia airport and has a beautiful beach with wonderful restaurants all within walking distance of our villa. Villa Estrella is one of the most luxuriously appointed condominiums in the resort complex. We have great ocean views and are only a ten-minute walk from the beach and a two-minute walk to the resort pool and bar.

We are located within the gated resort of Villa Sol and as our guest, you have access to the free shuttle that will take you around the resort grounds and to the beach. You have all the benefits of resort-style living with access to the pools, restaurants, and tennis courts, with the privacy of your own home situated in a calm and quiet location to optimize relaxation during your vacation. The exclusive community of Villas Sol is securely gated and employs a 24-hour guard staff.

We are managed by Home Together and they will arrange for airport shuttles, grocery shopping, in-room massage or personal chef, and tour options in the area.

We are a fifteen-minute drive from Playa Cocos, which is a larger town with lots of nightlife and restaurants. We love to visit Playa Ocotal and it’s beautiful black sand beach and we enjoy eating at Father Roosters. . We visit Playa Tamarindo for surfing lessons and enjoy visiting Playa Flamingo as they have some great restaurants, both within a 90-minute drive from Playa Hermosa.

We recommend having a car during your stay as there are so many great areas to visit within a very short radius with day trips to each of these beach towns as well as to Rincon de la Vieja State Park. If you prefer a vacation without the stress of having to drive to different areas and prefer using our concierge services to arrange for day trips, you will be fine! You can reserve a shuttle to bring you from the airport to our villa which are within walking distance of the grocery store and all the fabulous restaurants within and near the resort.

Villa Estrella has beautiful and modern furnishings to make your vacation stay very relaxed, enjoyable, and unforgettable. The living area is spacious with an open floor plan between the living area and the gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is fully upgraded with granite countertops, gas stove, dishwasher and all the items you will need for meal preparation at home.

The large veranda is completely furnished with comfortable lounge furniture to enjoy the amazing ocean view with a large covered outdoor dining area.

The plunge pool on the patio provides the perfect opportunity to relax and cool off while enjoying the beautiful sunsets over Playa Hermosa. Both bedrooms have direct access to the veranda and the ocean views.

Each bedroom features a spacious king-size bed with custom built-in closet space and flat screen television in each bedroom. The villa very comfortably accommodates 6 guests with a queen sleeper sofa in the living area. Each bedroom has beautiful furnishings with luxury linens and bed coverings. The baths are all spacious and beautifully appointed with a bidet in the guest bath.

A washer and dryer facilitate packing light and central air conditioning and internet access with television with Netflix/amazon capabilities round out the package.

At Villa Estrella, you have it all. We have snorkel equipment, beach chairs, beach towels, tennis rackets and balls, beach toys, and a portable cooler available for your use during your stay.

Just Getting Away

We were in Costa Rica four years ago and did all of the "touristy things" so this trip was just to get away and relax. This property had everything we needed to accomplish that from being fully furnished and outfitted, nice deck to relax and plunge in the pool, watch the sunset, etc. And it was so easy to catch the ride down to the beach which we did almost every day for long relaxed walks.

Excellent sunsets but had some issues

Views from villa of the ocean and sunsets were as good as it gets in playa Hermosa! Villa Sol is a dated community with a few issues. We lost all water twice. Once for a afternoon and once for the entire day. It is a common issue as the other villa we stayed for two nights prior had large water jugs under bath vanities. Villa sol does do well in keeping the place clean and safe. This villa has been updated within the last 5 yrs, but it is apparent that it is rented frequently. We lost a couple of afternoons while the drains in laundry and dryer were being repaired. Owners and Sebastian replied in a timely manner to attend to issues. One item that could possibly be an issue is that there are 32 steps from curb to entrance of villa. But our main issue was that the villa next door was partially into a total rehab when arrived. It was apparent to us that this project had been going on for an extended time, interior was gutted and entrance doors removed. We were not notified of this construction. So for 22 days straight, 8 am - 4pm we had tile saws and construction workers outside the patio working…. It was too late to find another place to stay. It got so bad that went to another resort for two nights in the middle of our stay for some peace. Owners stated that they did not know of construction, but the management at villa sol did. It was wrong not to be notified. We were not offered any reimbursement for our troubles other than a mid stay cleaning

A lovely stay!

Our stay was just perfect. The condo was clean and fully stocked. We especially enjoyed the patio, where the sunsets were amazing and the pool welcomed us. This unit is in between the well traveled community road and the main road just behind it, creating lots of car noise all day long. But the trees and coziness of the patio did provide plenty of privacy. The community was well maintained, clean, and super nice. I would absolutely stay at Lenore's place again!

Beautiful view!

I stayed with my husband and 5 year old son. I loved the safety of the plunge pool for my son! Not deep but deep enough for cooling. We enjoyed coffee and the view from the pool every morning. The resort was nice and pool with swim up bar is a 2 minute walk. The beach is close by. Shuttle comes often but we didn’t use it. The area is pretty quiet but nice. We went to playa del coco several times only 10 minutes away for larger grocery stores, many restaurants and shops. We loved the beach there as well. The condo is beautiful. The beds are extremely comfortable and so much storage for unpacking. The patio is very spacious. Having laundry is so nice even though you live in your bathing suit!! We would absolutely stay again! We had a flight issue and requested an additional night. Almost immediate response and we had our additional night. Took so much stress away. Thanks again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Lynore Martinez

Michael and Lynore travel frequently with their two children. They are avid scuba divers and enjoy all outdoor activity. The climate of Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste and the blue flag beaches with the close proximity of the Liberia airport were some of the reasons for the purchase of this amazing vacation home. "Our home in Playa Hermosa is a beautiful refuge with the option to take advantage of the Villa Sol amenities including the pool and tennis courts," says Lynore, "We love to use this as our home base to explore the diversity of Costa Rica. We are a short drive to so many different locations, Nicaragua, Lake Arenal, and Monte Verde just to name a few."

Why they chose this property

Villa Estrella was owned by one of the developers of Villa Sol and the location is amazing. We have beautiful views and love relaxing in our own plunge pool. We have a full gourmet kitchen and central air and really love spending our evenings on the spacious patio. We have a full dining table on the patio that seats 10 and makes this a wonderful setting to spend evenings with our family.

What makes this property unique

I love being able to take the shuttle to and from the beach which makes carrying all our beach toys much easier. We love being able to walk 200 m to the swimming pool, but if we just want to have drinks and enjoy the sunset, we can do that in our own plunge pool overlooking Playa Hermosa. We are close to parking which makes it convenient when unloading our luggage and groceries. We have the benefits of a complex while having our own separate home.
