This LUXURY BEACHFRONT home is located on the best surfing beach in Costa Rica! In fact, this home is so close to the beach ,you can hear and see the spectacular sight of these sought out waves crashing on the beach. The beach is so close to the house that opportunity awaits for you to enjoy daily strolls or jogs on this beautiful and clean beach. From the new upper deck, you can relax and enjoy the view for miles and witness breath-taking sunsets each evening. Spend time relaxing by our new swimming pool while you enjoy watching the waves crash on the beach.

This air conditioned home is four years old and approximately 3100 square feet. It is located in a new-gated development with security. A safe is also available in the house to store your valuable possessions.

The floor plan is large and open. There are four bedrooms and three and a half baths. The master bedroom has a king bed. The second master bedroom has a king bed and the third and fourth bedrooms each have two twin beds. For your convenience, there is also a washer and dryer located in the home.

The kitchen is spacious and includes a large side-by-side refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, etc. There is plenty of room to sit at the granite counter in the kitchen. You may want to enjoy your meal outside up on the deck while watching the sizable waves or gorgeous sunsets. The view from outside is truly spectacular!

HANDICAPPED FRIENDLY. The house and yard are handicap friendly. There are no steps. The doors and hallways are wide. For added convenience, there is a large shower.

Hermosa Beach, where this home is located, is a world-class surfing beach that hosts international competitions. Since the waves are enormous, surfers from all over the world seek out this beach everyday. Even if you don't surf, it is very entertaining to watch the waves and the surfers.

Located at the Northern end of the beach, there are several "Beach Boy" style bars and restaurants. You can relax, watch the surfers, and enjoy the sunset.

At the southern end of the beach is a new turtle preserve. During the season that the turtles come and lay their eggs, volunteers come help move the eggs to a safe place. The volunteers take care of the eggs until they hatch.

If you are a beginner surfer, you will enjoy JACO Beach, which is located to the north only one and a half miles. The waves here are milder. In addition, you will discover a wide assortment of restaurants, shopping, ATM/banking, internet cafes, nightclubs, bakery, pharmacy, medical services, churches, etc. in this town.

Wildlife can be discovered everywhere. Iguanas and geckos can be seen all around. For those with an adventuresome side,crocodile safaris are also available. If you stop by the Crocodile bridge, you can see crocodiles.

We highly recommend for you to experience a guided Canopy tour! You are hooked up to a cable with the safety of a harness. As you travel along the zip line, you go from one tree platform to the next. It is quite a thrill!

In addition, you can further experience Costa Rica by bird watching, sea kayaking, white water rafting, visit national parks, or relax in the hot spring pools located by the volcano.

To help you get settled in for your stay, we have a wonderful Hospitality professional to greet you for your check in and provide a customized welcome basket tailored to your needs. They will be available throughout your stay. For your convenience, arrangements can be made to have the kitchen stocked with food for your arrival. Maid/cooking services are also available. They are fluent in English and Spanish.

  • Just returned from this beautiful home after staying there New Years 2008-09. We had a group of 8 adults and couldn't have been happier. This home is GORGEOUS and this site really doesn't do it justice! The home was much more spacious than the photos make it look, the location is unbeatable (close enough to Jaco to get food/entertainment, far enough away that you feel like you're on your own private beach), and the home had everything you could ever want (internet, cable, telephone, security, pool, steps away from the beach). The views and sunsets are some of the best I've ever seen! We did the Chiclet's Canopy Tour and had a great time! Susan is also very helpful in the planning process and she recommends heaps of great places to visit. There is so much to do nearby, and after a long day you can retire to your gorgeous beach bungalow!

  • We rented this house in January, 2008. The property was as nice as listed. Two couples went who used the master bedrooms with private baths. Two singles went each had a bedroom and shared the third bath. The pool was wonderful and the upstairs balcony above the pool with a view of the beach was a great place to watch the surf, read or count the numerous iguanas that lived on the roof. The kitchen was well equiped and the cable television brough in many chanels. We had fun exploring Jaco and enjoyed several good meals, one close by at the Backyard Bar. We tried the zipline near by, enjoyed the canopy tram and drove the 1 1/2 hours to Manuel Antonio park where we saw three kinds of monkey along with many other interesting animals, trees, and plants. We really enjoyed using this pleasant home and seeing all the amazing things there are to see in Costa Rica.

  • Just returned from beautiful Playa Hermosa and Casa Horner. Having two kids 20 and 17,we always rent a condo or house on vacation. Sometimes they're not quite up to par but this home was wonderful. Very spacious and clean with it's own little mini rainforest right next to the house. We walked the small path behind the home at least once daily and saw lots of monkeys, red macaws, parrots and even some sort of wild black cat that resembled a panther. Daily visits by the iguanas sunning on the balcony and roof were entertaining as were the gorgeous views of some of the largest waves in Costa Rica. They were huge. The nightlife in Jaco was a very short, although sometimes scary, drive with lots of windy roads, bicycle riders and pot holes....but hey, that was all part of the adventure.Tours are very close, the Chiclets zip tour was really fun, Jungle ATV in Jaco a blast (see if you can get Johnny as your guide..really a fun guy)and don't miss Manual Antonio Park and white water rafting...King Tours has a good one. Be really careful on the fishing, can be a major rip off especially if your guide speaks no English, as was our experience, and the Serenity Spa was another major disappointment. We all felt very safe swimming in the very clean pool at night, especially with Herman and the other armed guards that watch the house at night. It was a bit freaky the first time we pulled up and saw an armed gunman, but they were really nice and did a great job. This is a great house as it was centrally located, but if you're the kind that likes to lounge and boogie board in the ocean everyday, Playa Hermosa is not the place for you. Jaco is much better for that kind of activity and close enough if you want to go a couple of times during your trip. If you want a gorgoeous home that's close to all the action and a great place to come home to after a day of adventure, Casa Horner is a great choice.

  • My name is Frederick and I am writing to express my pleasant surprise with the house that Susan allowed me to rent. The pictures are accurate but not until you look at the house physically do you realize how great the house is. For example there is a balcony attached to the house in the back that gives you a great view of the ocean and rocking chairs to sit on and enjoy the view. The two master bedrooms are HUGE. The other two bedrooms are smaller and have twin beds. One master bedroom has a jacuzzi style bathtub and the other a shower with sliding doors. The BBQ grill worked perfectly and the cable TV and stereo came in handy. There is also a working phone and a safe. The location was good as well and not too far from Jaco. Only negatives I could even find was that at my time of stay (April 13th-16th, 2007) the water drained kind of slow in the jacuzzi style bathtub and one of the toilets flushed slow but did work. So that's about it. The house added greatly to my vacation and the lights in the pool came in handy at nighttime!! Perfect vacation for me due to the ambience of the house and I surely will be renting this house again next year. Any with doubts feel free to call me. I too was nervous because I had never rented from a website before and Susan tried to assure me the house was real. But I was still nervous until I physically entered her gorgeous house and saw it was more than advertised. You will enjoy your stay.

I do appreciate you and any other renters letting me know if there is anything not working properly in the house so I can have it repaired. I try to have my houses in top condition for your perfect vaction. Glad to have you back any time. Susan Hornor

  • I am so glad that we chose your home to vacation in. The web site does not do it justice! The home itself was perfect for four couples; we cooked at home and used the bbq'd! The pool was a perfect refuge from the 85 degree heat. With the black sand beach across the street, the lovely walk on the beach to the local restaurant/bar, the crocodile in the pond down the road......PERFECT! I could have stayed at your lovely home for the whole vacation and been perfectly content. An early morning must is the release of turtles at the reserve at the end of the road. Thank you, Susan....we will be back!

  • We have had the privilage of staying in this home twice in the last year. The first time was for 3 weeks...we were so impressed with the house, the country, the people...we had to return! The house was awesome, location amazing, owners wonderful and easy to work with. We have already referred quite a few friends and plan on making it our annual vacation spot.

  • We stayed in the home in February,2006 for 6 nights with two other couples. The home is conveniently located to Jaco but secluded and safe. The lovely home sits on a spectacular beach. We enjoyed our trip so much, we've taken the property again this fall. Thanks for everything, Susan!

  • We had a wonderful time staying at this beach front home with 2 other couples in February, 2006. The home is beautiful and has a very comfortable and well laid out floor plan. But...my favorite place to be was the upper deck in the mornings. There were very few people on the beach so watching the tide was absolutley breath taking. Plus, we were the only ones in the ocean right across from the house. The home is located near to Jaco. Jaco has some wonderful restaurants and shopping. Plus I would encourage you to venture out and visit the sites around Jaco. We were very blessed be able to spend 10 days in this absolutely gorgegeous country! We know you will be blessed also by just being able to getaway from the daily grind of life and witnessing some specatucular sites. I highly recommend renting this home. You won't be disappointed for it is a wonderful place to relax and get away from things for a little while. We look forward to going back again.
