Villa Helena Hermosa private 3-bdr resort & pool

Staying at our three-bedroom Villa Helena de Hermosa vacation rental home near the beach in Playa Hermosa, Puntarenas province is like having your own private tropical resort retreat, perfect for family and friend reunions.

It sleeps families of up to 10 adults on regular beds among three bedrooms and 2 children up to 17 years old on a futon in the house living room.

Everyone will be able to be together to share experiences around a magnificent courtyard pool and terrace area, while having their own space to retire and rest after a day full of adventure.

Villa Helena is ideally located close to beaches, both for surfing and swimming, and to the towns of Hermosa, Jacó and Esterillos, where you will find a plethora of dining and shopping options. The villa is completely enclosed by high walls and lies inside the gated community of Opera Salvaje, which has a single controlled-access point with 24/7 manned security.

This vacation villa showcases a Spanish mission-style architecture with arched wood windows, exposed wood beams, decorative wrought-iron, ceramic tile countertops, terracotta floor tiles, natural stone on walls and floors, and tiled roofs, giving it a charming and elegant look, perfectly adapted to its environment.

The villa boasts solid wood furniture that continues its Costa Rican-Spanish colonial theme and is tastefully decorated with Latin American crafts and art works that transport you to another time. Nonetheless, it is equipped with modern amenities such as Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout the villa, and a washer/dryer set, making your stay comfortable and convenient.

The villa’s main feature is a large courtyard with a private pool, flanked by wood and concrete columns supporting covered decks on both sides. Here you can lounge, doze off, dine, and swim in the sun or shade. A gas barbecue grill and two large and beautifully crafted wood tables and chairs allow for al fresco dining. A hammock allows you to embrace the Pura Vida way of life.

The indoor living areas and bedrooms are laid out next to the courtyard, allowing them easy access to it. They are divided into two self-contained buildings with independent entry, all featuring high ceilings with exposed wood beams: the house and the second-floor Studio.

The house offers two bedrooms around a living area. The living area has a futon in front of a smart LED TV and a fully equipped kitchen with electric stove, refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. A workspace nook with desk and printer allows you to work on your laptop.

One bedroom has a Queen bed, a large closet, and a smart LED TV and is adjacent to the full bathroom with shower. The other bedroom has a Full bed and a Twin bunkbed. Another full bathroom with shower is located next to the pool area, so it can serve guests staying at the house.

The Studio is the only bedroom on the second floor and is reachable through a covered metal spiral staircase with wrought iron railings. The Studio offers one large bedroom with a King bed, a smart LED TV, an ensuite full bathroom with shower and a kitchenette with a small fridge, coffee maker and microwave.

The house on the other side of the courtyard is locked off during rentals and no one will stay there. That means that you will have the rest of the property and the pool area to yourselves.
