Sunset House - High Quality/Low Prices/No Comparison
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Playa Hermosa
It was a bit of good fortune. A friend recommended the area and when visiting we were directed to the "private" beaches that are part of Los Altos de Cacique. The water was so clear and warm with abundant fish that we decided, on the spot, to buy a house we had found in the development that was 60% completed. It took a bit of doing but we are extremely happy with how things turned out.
Owner's Map of Playa Hermosa
My daughter took this photo of me surfing for the first time in Tamarindo. The greatest thing about visiting my place in Costa Rica is the feeling of serenity. Of course there's much to do. At the same time, after a short period, one feels the tranquility of the country. I promise, it's hard to leave after just a week or so.
Enjoy. :)

Sunset House is the perfect name

Review Submitted: 08/17/11
The Sunset House was exactly what we expected from the description and the pictures. Actually it exceeded our expectations because of the indescribable beauty of the sunset as we lounged in the infinity pool. The house was clean, contemporary and comfortable. Great, quiet location. Would definitely rent this house again.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+, girls getaway.
Family vacation at Sunset House

The house lived up to all the photos and posted positive reviews. The location is ideal to Hermosa or Coco beaches, restaurants and a zip line which are all excellent. The pool is outstanding as well. Road access to other locations is good also. The view is amazing, and as the house name suggests, sunsets are spellbinding. The house was well-equipped, spacious and served the needs of our family of five perfectly. All contacts with the local real estate agents were extremely helpful and contacts with the owner were prompt and cordial. We do intend to return to Sunset House in the future and that is our highest recommendation.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway.

STOP!!!! If this home accomodates your crew then look no further. Home is lovely with great beds and good towels. Kitchen has everything and more that you would need and we cooked "at home" alot. The pool is a lifesaver during the warm afternoons and has a fabulous view of the bay and beautiful sunsets The area is quiet but in close proximity for anything you wish to do. The property manager, Casey, is a wealth of help and information. The home is very clean and the only items I would add is more furniture by the pool. There were four of us ranging from ages 8 to 61 and we all could not have been happier. So I say in closing, GO,GO,GO!
Owner response:Thank You Annie. We have put more chair/lounges around the pool.

Family Vacation at Sunset House
Guest: Dave and Patti

Review Submitted: 03/24/11
My wife and I stayed at Sunset House for a month, Feb.20/11 to Mar. 20/11. We found the house to be as advertised, and exceeded our expectations. Friends joined us for the first two weeks and then our family, including our young grandchildren, stayed with us for the last week. The view of Playa del Coco from the deck was awesome, and sunset watching became a nightly event. The pool was excellent, especially enjoyed by our grandchildren. I would highly recommend this property as a vacation spot for a family or a getaway with friends. We enjoyed Playa Hermosa, about 5 minutes away by car, more than Playa del Coco ( it is essential to have a car at Sunset House). There are many excellent restaurants nearby. We especially enjoyed Ginger and El Velero at Playa Hermosa and the Mexican restaraunt on the road to Sardinal.

Great time in the sunset house in Playa De Hermosa Costa Rica
Guest: Pete
(California)
Date of Stay: 12/12/10
Review Submitted: 01/02/11
We had an excellent time at the sunset house in Playa De Hermosa, Costa Rica. The house is in a quiet yet luxurios area between Playa De Hermosa and Playa De Coco. The house was clean and had everything that we needed to feel at home. The view from the patio or the master bedroom or the infinity edge pool was excellent. You could see the sunset over the ocean or and evening view of the town of Coco and the bay were excellent. The house had A/C , full kitchen with microwave, internet access and satelite TV. This house was the best bargain we could find in Costa Rica. My favorite place to visit was the small private beach between Playa De Hermosa and Playa De Coco. It was only a short drive from the house yet still somewhat isolated and a beautuful natural setting. The snokelling was great!! In Playa De Hermosa, Allan took us out fishing. We caught great tasting Blue Fin Tuna. A short walk from the holuse we encoutered a great walking trail that led us down a canyon and small stream that had a small waterfall.
Owner response:The date of Pete's stay was 12/21/10, not 12/12/10. Thanks you.

I and 3 girlfriends stayed at the Sunset House for a "girls getaway" week and it was wonderful. The accommodations are everything that is advertised and more. The property manager was courteous and knew the area exceptionally well and was able to help us in several activities. We would definitely stay again.

We arrived the second week of November to find a house that is more beautiful than the pictures. The infinity pool is stunning and a great place to relax and watch the ocean. The house is centrally located near many attractions. We would stay again.
