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 family absolutely LOVED this house. The pool is amazing. We had enough room to sit around inside and play games when it rained. There were cute little restaurants down on the beach as well!
The property was fantastic, especially the pool. Beds were comfortable, the patio was lovely.
Great property. Management group was fantastic in helping us set up tours.

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!

House was beautiful with all the amenities needed for your stay. Check in and communication with management was easy.
We watched the sunset from the infinity pool each night followed by fireflies and thunderstorms.

The property was just as listed. The kitchen was well equipped. The rooms were spacious. And, the pool was the perfect place to watch the sunset.

This property is one of our favorites. We have stayed here two years in a row. The view is spectacular and the community is quiet and relaxing. While it is always good to get back home, I never want to leave this place.

This property was just right for the 3 couples celebrating birthdays and seeing Costa Rica for the first time. We loved the views, pool, big kitchen and the outdoor seating! Tico tours helped book last minute tours. And the closeness to town was nice to get groceries and eat out! This was a great location for us!
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.
Overall this was a fantastic property that was ideally located to beaches and restaurants. The property itself has a few flaws but was clean and had all the proper utensils and cooking equipment needed for a weeks stay. Property manager was very friendly and accommodating.
