About this property

Playa Hermosa Ocean-View Home • 4 BR • Private Pool • Classic Costa Rican Charm

  • Why Guests Love It
    Guests call Casa Picapiedra “a hidden gem with unforgettable sunsets.” They appreciate its spacious layout, easy proximity to the beach and the unbeatable view from the pool terrace. While not a brand-new home, its authentic character and relaxed atmosphere make it a favorite for guests seeking genuine Costa Rican comfort with Zindis Hospitality’s reliable service.

    Casa Picapiedra sits on the tranquil hillside of Playa Hermosa, offering a rare combination of panoramic ocean views and easy access to the beach below. The town’s calm bay, beach bars and local restaurants create an authentic coastal rhythm. Within a short drive you’ll reach Playas del Coco for groceries, nightlife and tours. The Liberia Airport (LIR) is just 30 minutes away, making arrival effortless.

    Guests love this area for its balance of serenity and convenience — close to everything, yet peaceful enough to hear the ocean breeze through the palms.

    Welcome to Casa Picapiedra, a beloved Playa Hermosa classic perched on the hillside with sweeping views of the Pacific. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sleeps up to 6 guests and offers everything you need for a comfortable, easygoing stay — where location and scenery take center stage.

    Built with the timeless charm of Costa Rican architecture, Casa Picapiedra features vaulted wood ceilings, airy interiors and natural finishes that echo the coastal surroundings. The spacious open-plan living room connects to a terrace that overlooks the ocean, inviting sunset dinners, coffee with a view, or evenings under the stars.

    The private pool sits front-and-center, framed by native plants and the soft sound of nature. Though the home’s design reflects an earlier era, it’s well maintained, fully functional and rich in personality — a welcoming space that feels familiar from the moment you arrive.

    Perfectly located in Playa Hermosa, you’re within minutes of the beach, local restaurants and markets, while Liberia International Airport (LIR) is only a 30-minute drive away. With Zindis Hospitality managing every detail, Casa Picapiedra remains a favorite among guests who appreciate comfort, view and value.

Our first trip to Costa Rica

This property was AWESOME. We had 4 adults and 3 children (twins 5 and a 2 year old). The management team provided valuable assistance on local beaches and restaurants. The view is even better in person.

Perfect House For Our Getaway

Six college roommates, all 65, enjoyed three nights here. Everything we needed was included. Kitchen was very well stocked including blender, hand mixer, drip coffee maker and filters. Plenty of bath and beach towels. Pool and outdoor area are amazing and the views are spectacular. Able to walk to a mini-market and the beach.

What a great time!

The amazing parts of this experience far outweigh the negatives. We were met by a host to walk us through the property and rules. Every time we had a question, we received a great answer or recommendation. The house was beautiful, and my crew was very comfortable. We wish all the jets in the jacuzzi were working, or that someone would have come to fix it while we were there, but the team overseeing the property more than made up for that slight detail. I would revisit in a heartbeat!

Great House, Great Time

My Family and I had a great time in Playa Hermosa. The house was amazing. The Zindis crew Bryan and Milena were very helpful in lining up activities for us and helping with the property. If you are staying with a small child they charge extra money for a pack and play, and high chair. We've rented many larger VRBO properties, and these items are typically included, so for a luxury rental like this, i feel those items should be included at no charge. Other than this though, the property and experience were amazing!

It does have a BEAUTIFUL view!

The photos of this house online are incredible. After reading the glowing reviews, I was anticipating a well kept property. We found that the Zindis group was very responsive and that was a plus, but the upkeep of this property leaves something to be desired. The towels and bedding were a disappointment. They were ragged and needed to be replaced. Many of the appliances did not work well. The washer and dryer left clothes full of lint. The ice maker didn't work, the coffee pot lid was broken and the air conditioner in the bedroom had 2 issues with leaking water. The dishwasher worked but is dated and difficult. As a whole, the floors need upkeep and the woodwork could use it too. The laundry area is dirty and dingy, not like the pictures on the site! It is a shame that the property is not maintained better. I was surprised that others rated this so high. The people we encountered were wonderful....but I will look elsewhere for my next stay.

Great house, close to Playa Hermosa and Playas del Coco. Lots of food choices within short drive.

Milena was great, pointed us to the good restaurants and Monkey Trail (shortcut) to Tamarindo. House had everything we needed, would definitely come back!
