About this property

Large, spacious home for family gatherings.  The stunning infinity edge pool overlooks the breathtaking sites of the Bay of Papagayo.

Perfect Large, Spacious ocean view home for family gatherings.

Although its location makes Playa Hermosa feel somewhat isolated, the small but well-developed town offers many amenities. Playa Hermosa, which translates to Beautiful Beach, is located in northern Guanacaste Province. Keep in mind that Costa Rica has several beaches named Playa Hermosa, including near Jaco, Santa Teresa, and Uvita, but the one where this lovely home is located is in Guanacaste. The Liberia International is the closest airport, at about 30 minutes away.

Large, spacious home for family gatherings.  The stunning infinity edge pool overlooks the breathtaking sites of the Bay of Papagayo. The pool has a shallow entrance that is perfect for new moms and infants first getting acquainted to the water. There is also a lot of green space in the side yard to enjoy the sounds of nature. 

Nature abounds, as Howler monkeys make an appearance in the tree canopies in nearby neighborhoods. The views will help create lifelong memories you and friends and family will cherish for a lifetime.

This magnificent, well-appointed, 5 bedroom-5.5 bathroom house in the gated community of Hermosa Heights, sleeps 12. Beautiful Hermosa Beach is spread out before you, which offers snorkeling, fishing, kayaking and surfing tours that leave right from the beach. Local adventure activities for the whole family, including zip-line canopy tours above the tropical forest, estuary excursions, horseback riding, volcanoes, hot springs and waterfalls are all within an hours drive. The BBQ Grill located poolside along with a well appointed outdoor dining set allow you to enjoy the best of dining alfresco, Should you wish to hire someone to prepare local delicacies in the gourmet kitchen or eat out at one of the many excellent restaurants in town or on the beach, feel free to contact our in-house concierge to assist with your culinary wishes. Make Casa Ilan Ilan your next destination for a wonderful, relaxing vacation experience.

50th Birthday

We had an excellent time. Had a pet Pedro the giant iguana that lives in the large tree and would come to visit the pool and greeted us upon arrival. House was amazing and pool was even better. Definitely a highlight of the trip.

Great Location and Wonderful View

The location was perfect. We loved the pool and the breath taking view. We had Chef Gerson come in to cook for us and he and his wife were wonderful. We loved Roberto's for lunch and dinner and as a place to set up on the beach. The house and pool were wonderful and we felt very safe. Milena was always quick to help if we needed anything.

Amazing time in Playa Hermosa

Casa Ilan Ilan is a fantastic property and our group of 11 had a wonderful stay. The house is equipped with everything you need to have a stress free vacation and the layout is extemely accomodating for a large party. The view from the pool was beautiful and our group ate most meals out on the patio. We will definately be back!

Playa Hermosa house

We loved our stay at Ilan Ilan. The view was spectacular and the location was convenient. Having a car was definitely a plus. You could manage without one but we used it everyday to go to the beach or to dinner. The steep climb up the hill to the house would have been tough on foot. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Lovely villa

My review is late, we stayed Nov 2022. We loved our stay here. Everything was clean and just as advertised in the listing. The management team was great upon arrival and very easy to get a hold of for needed help. We loved Playa Hermosa - what a beautiful beach! - and the restaurants in the town! We did go in rainy season and it could be a little chilly - we wish we would have had more hot water, the showers were always luke warm which I imagine in the warmer months isn't an issue.

Perfect Vacay!

The house and pool are gorgeous and the view is even better than the pics. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets in the infinity pool. An adorable 4 foot long lizard visited us a few times--we have great video of him drinking from the pool! The beaches and restaurants were wonderful. We plan to return next year! Thank you for amazing memories. : )

Beautiful home, great property management!

We had a large group getting together for the week, ages 5-70+ and this location was great. Every room was an en-suite, and the King bedroom on ground floor was great for my mother-in-law to avoid stairs. Everything was as described, pool was pristine, AC all worked and great kitchen to gather and cook in. The house is towards the top of a hill, buy transportation is always happy to come to the door. Everyone felt very safe the entire time and on-site Zindis management was great, super responsive and helped with ideas for our stay, dining, etc.

Unbelievable experience! Highly recommend Casa Ilan Ilan

Loved Casa Ilan Ilan. My group of 8 had a tremendous experience with this house and the staff here in Playa Hermosa. The views are just out of this world from the house, the location is convenient to some great restaurants, beaches, and shops. All activities provided through Tico Tours were amazing, from zip lining to whitewater rafting, catamaran, canopy tours, and ATVs. This was a perfect vacation and this was a perfect house. Couldn't be happier with our decision to stay at Casa Ilan Ilan. Zindis Group was absolutely fabulous to work with from booking to departure. Thank you!!

Best Place in Costa Rica

From the time we booked this beautiful home the service was spot on. Every question was answered in a very timely manner as well as booking activities ahead of arrival and after arrival. All expectations were exceeded including the house location, cleanliness, supplies and timeliness of all booked services (and we had a lot). Ian was above and beyond accommodating with extras we added on after arrival. Trash was picked up on a timely basis and pool cleaned daily very early in the am before sunrise. We absolutely loved this property’s location to restaurants, beaches and shopping. Thank you Zindis

A week in paradise

Just spent a fabulous week at Casa Ilan Ilan. This was our third trip to Costa Rica, and we rate it the best. The home was fabulously furnished with the latest appliances and all the bells and whistles. The 4 bedrooms each had their own bathroom and opened to the length of the house balcony. The outside area is awesome. Facing the ocean half way up the mountainside, there is a large covered seating area next to the ample sized infinity pool with a grassy area to sit at and enjoy the sunset. Eating, groceries, restaurants and beach are just down the hillside and makes for an enjoyable and adventurous daily walk. We hope to return back to the same spot for years to come.

Beautiful House on a (Very Steep) Hill

We had a lovely time at Casa Ilan Ilan! The pool and the views alone made our time there magical. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen and dining area was easy to use and inviting, and the staff was responsive and helpful. The house is on top of a steep hill that gave us our daily workout but is about a 10 minute walk to a grocery store and 20 minute walk to the beach. There were a few nice restaurants within walking distance as well. On the last day we found a scorpion in the bathroom; not sure how that got there! Other than that the house was free of creepy crawlies.:) Finally, the Zindis group helped with arranging a transfer from the airport to the house and also transport between the house and a tour we went on. Made it very convenient! Would highly recommend.

Exceptional House and Location

Casa Ilan Ilan is better than pictured. The house was perfectly clean and well appointed in every way (down to tissue boxes and pump hand soaps in bathrooms). Air conditioners worked well. Didn't see any critters inside the house (of great importance to a few of our traveling party). The pool is awesome, especially if you have little ones as the shallow entry area is relatively big. Playa Hermosa was an excellent location if you want a bit more of the off the beaten path location. Slightly bigger Playa Coco area with its grocery store, restaurants, touristy shops, etc. is a curvy 15 minutes down the road. We stayed during the 3 week "Little Summer" in July and had NO rain. Absolutely loved Costa Rica and will definitely be back.

Best Vacation Rental!

My stay at Casa Ilan Ilan was nothing short of magical. From the very moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The tasteful decor coupled with the magical views were unparalleled. The rooms were so spacious and all had a private bathroom. Tons of closet space too! When we arrived there were lovely towel/flower presentations on the beds - a very nice and welcoming touch. The house is air tight, so no need to worry about little critters getting inside. Each room has a beautiful view of the spacious outdoor patio - which has a perfect view of the beach. Everyday we watched the sunset from the deck - truly magical. There is an outdoor dining area complete with a grill. The pool is great and we spent so much time just relaxing and taking in the beautiful views. The staff at Hermosa Heights is great and are very helpful. Bonus that there is a movie theater and great little restaurant right at the bottom of the hill. There is also a small supermarket just down the road with all the necessities. My time at Casa Ilan Ilan was truly unforgettable and I can't wait to come back again!!!

Gorgeous house, great location

We stayed in Casa Ilan Ilan for spring break this year - 4 adults, my 28 year old niece and our two girls, ages 11 and 13. The house was beautiful. Spacious bedrooms, large, very well-appointed bathrooms for every bedroom, well-stocked kitchen and abundant outdoor space. The pool was awesome. I think my 11 year old spent more time in the pool than in her bed that week, but we were all in the pool every day. Note: the jacuzzi is not heated, but you don't need it to be. The views are stunning, even in the dry season. We checked out a bunch of houses in our neighborhood - ours had the largest outdoor area and the best pool, by far! This house is also perfectly located. Playa Hermosa is a sleepy little town, but very close to Playa Coco with its more lively (and touristy) action. We all agreed that we'd much rather be in Hermosa as a home base. The house is located within walking distance of the beach, but it is a VERY steep hill on the way up. For touring we used Mainor Lama at Tours Your Way. He was awesome! We highly recommend Casa Ilan Ilan and plan to go back.
