Romantic getaway

The property location was perfect! Beach access, close to restaurants bars and stores. The place was clean and had all of the modern creature comforts like wi-fi, tv, and plenty of places to plug in electronics. Bedroom was comfortable and porch was very pleasant. Wish we had stayed longer.

We needed to really relax and this was perfect the whole two weeks we were there. About 50 yards from a beautiful beach, so the sound of the waves was always with us. Lots of greenery complete with monkeys, iguanas, and birds. We had some air travel trouble getting there, but out host (Lina) was always checking on us and made sure that we were taken care of. We had never been to this part of Costa Rica and we are both what could be charitably referred to as "elderly". Yet we never felt insecure and she always looked out for us in a wonderful non-intrusive way. We can't thank her enough, and hope everyone who wants to find what we did looks for La Casita because you'll be so glad you did.

What a great little place right on the beach. Loved the proximity to the tours we were doing and the space was perfect for the 3 of us for spring break. Really enjoyed the patio space with hammocks. Had a minor issue with housekeeping not putting a garbage bag in the garbage but I would still highly recommend this place.

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.

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

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!

Fine for one night stay

Owner didn't respond to early inquiry about the address. Had to ask locals where to go. Karol, the on site manager, was very nice and helpful. Access to beach is nice. Unit is dark inside and a bit cluttered. Could use an update. Was fine for one night stay.

The location is amazing and we like the quiet comfort of the lazy beach. The coffee provided was great and the host provides great tips both via message and also the check in/out book provided. The restaurants up and down the beach are great and the nearby mini supermarkets have things to make the stay pleasant. We would definitely stay again (this is our second stay here). Less than 30 seconds down the path to the beach. Car or scooter rental recommended.

Fabulous Casita just Steps from the Beach!

La Casita is a wonderful oasis literally only steps away from the gorgeous Playa Hermosa and a short drive from Playa Coco. Lina personally greeted us with a warm welcome to her ultra safe and comfortable casita and went above and beyond to make dinner reservations for us at a wonderful restaurant a short walk from the front gate the night we arrived. On the walk from the Casita to the beach we were surrounded by a vast array of gorgeous native plants and flowers throughout the property and met Howler Monkeys in the trees overhead, iguanas, beautiful butterflies, harmonious birds, mangrove crabs, and other amazing neighbors. We loved our stay at La Casita and could not have asked for a better or warmer welcome to Costa Rica than by Lina. We highly recommend this location for any couple looking for the perfect romantic stay on the gorgeous pacific coast of Northern Costa Rica. Pura Vida!!!

La Casita was wonderful. Very short stroll to the beach. The beach area is not very busy. The ocean was perfect. Lina was great - very helpful and introduced us to sapodilla fruit from the property which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

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!

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.
