About this property

Casita Cole • 2 BR Guest House with Private Pool & Bay View, Playa Hermosa - 4 Guests

Why Guests Love It
Guests describe Casita Cole as “a hidden hillside hideaway with the amenities of a larger villa”. They love its independence — perfect for a small family, couple, or friends — but also the ability to open it up as part of the full Casa Cole estate when traveling with extended family or groups. The view from the infinity pool is unforgettable, the privacy complete, and the Zindis Hospitality service ensures every detail — from grocery pre-stocking to daily housekeeping — runs

Situated within the prestigious Monte Paraiso gated community, Casita Cole occupies a privileged position high above Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste. The elevation brings cooling breezes, natural tranquility, and panoramic bay views, yet the Blue-Flag beach lies just minutes below, along with oceanfront restaurants and local cafés.
The neighboring town of Playas del Coco offers additional dining, shops, and water-sport activities, while Liberia International Airport (LIR) is only a 30-minute drive away, ensuring effortless arrivals and departures.

Casita Cole is a private, self-contained 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa that forms part of the exclusive Casa Cole estate in Monte Paraiso above Playa Hermosa. Thoughtfully designed for both independence and flexibility, Casita Cole can be rented separately as an intimate hillside retreat for up to 4 guests, or combined with Casa Cole to create a larger compound ideal for multi-family vacations or small group gatherings.

From its private infinity pool and terrace, guests enjoy sweeping views of the Hermosa coastline and the Pacific horizon. Indoors, a vaulted-ceiling living area and fully equipped kitchen open through sliding glass doors to the terrace, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Each bedroom offers air-conditioned comfort and privacy, complemented by contemporary finishes and local design accents.

Whether booked alone or together with the main villa, Casita Cole delivers the full Zindis Hospitality experience — from concierge coordination to seamless on-site service — ensuring every stay is as easy as it is memorable.

Slice of paradise

What a wonderful vacation! Pre-trip communication with the property manager was very timely and clear. Property was truly beautiful and extremely comfortable—furniture, beds, well-stocked kitchen, outdoor furniture, WIFI, Roku were all fabulous. Daily check-ins from the property manager contained restaurant and activity recommendations, and daily housekeeping kept everything clean and straightened up. View from the covered patio was breathtaking. Thank you for an incredible stay!

The views!!

Loved the views and the privacy of this home—from the patio, the living room, the master bedroom and even the countryside views from the kitchen! We had everything we needed to make breakfast, lunch and dinner (but we ate dinner each night right on the beach for some beautiful sunsets). Towels galore and very comfy beds. If we ever come back, would definitely come here again!

Great Home On Top Of The Hill

The home was a fantastic choice for us. Nestled on top of a hill overseeing Playa Hermosa, we had a great, unobstructed view north of the city. The sunset is off to the left behind the neighboring hills. Quiet, secure, spacious, and beautiful.

Relaxing week in Playa Hermosa

The property is gorgeous and well equipped. We had difficulty sleeping to the chirping made by the numerous Asian House Gecko's which reside in the ceiling rafters. Otherwise we felt very safe and the views are epic. All of the locals are welcoming and the beach is easy to access and enjoy.

Beautiful property

We had a great time staying in Playa Hermosa. We rented both main house & casita. The views were fantastic. The main house was beautiful & provided everything we needed. We had rain & did experience some leaking through a few of the windows. A few things could use some updating. That being said we had a wonderful stay & I would highly recommend staying there. The casita was adorable!

Casita Cox

We stayed at Casita Cox the third week in May. We were two couples wanting a getaway from the all-inclusive scene and we chose the perfect location. The place was wonderful with spectacular views, very relaxing and within reasonable proximity to day trips whenever wanted. The guesthouse is located on one of the nicest lots within the gated community with very good maid service and concierge. We would go back to this location to relax and use as our base. Martin

Beautiful location and best view ever. Home has everything one would need. Adobe car rental was disorganized and left us at airport without car after confirming twice. Not a good start to our holiday.

Worth every penny!

Casita Cox is just as amazing as the pictures look and is a great place to stay! Everything was ready even though we had arrived a few hours early and Guss and Tim were both very friendly and helpful for anything we needed. It's in very secure gated community and close to a small grocery store and restaurants, and beaches. AC works well inside for anytime of the day, but relaxing in the sun in the pool with the view is the way to go! We also hope to come back, 1 week went by too quickly! Highly recommended!

Absolutely Beautiful!!!!!

From the moment we arrived we felt as if we were in heaven! This is one of the most beautiful places i have ever been. The description only began to describe the beauty and serenity i felt during my entire vacation. The house was absolutely gorgeous, our conceirge was awesome and always took care of any needs we had. Also, the maid service made things convenient. We have already recommended this to several people and plan to rent from beachfront again. I recommend going to africa mia zoo, playa hermosa beach, ginger restaraunt, there is so much to do! We plan to vacation here every year, maybe even purchase property!!

cottage at Casa Cox

Our stay from Jan. 16th until Feb 3rd, 2011 at the cottage on Casa Cox property was exceptional. My wife and I were delighted to spend our days in the very private, secure grounds of Casa Cox. The casita was clean and well maintained. The view of Playa Hermosa was breath taking and captured our interest for hours at a time. We ventured out in our rental car to numerous beaches in Guanacaste, shopped in nearby Coco and travelled the Interamerican Highway. Temperatures were in the high 80's with continuous sunshine and we did not experience one drop of rain. Our local support people were available to answer questions and assist in travel plans. The pictures are as good as they look.

perfect getaway

the view is as amazing as it is in the pictures. the house is convenient to everything and after visiting some of the other beaches Playa Hermosa was quiet, great restaurants and friendly and our favorite over Playa Cocoa and Tamarindo. I know one person mentioned the pool was cold and well it was when you first get in but after about 3-5 minutes it was wonderful. A cool drink in your hand in the pool looking over that view watching the sunset was incredible. It was very windy as we learned is normal for February and the windows in the master would rattle but a little bit of cardboard kept the quiet through the night. Waking up to that view of the water is an amazing way to start the day.

Amazing view

We were in Costa Rica for 12 nights and stayed in 3 different locations while there. 2 nights at a thermal resort in Rincon de la Viejo, 7 nights in Tamarindo and we finished our trip with our last 3 nights at Playa Hermosa, and the views were breathtaking.. The house was easy to get to, and a short drive to town for dinners. There were people staying in the main house while we were there, so our pool wasn’t as private as we’d hoped for, but it was a minor inconvenience. We had planned to spend the days at our pool but the sun never hit the water so it was very cold,, we ended up driving to a close beach. If it’s amazing views you’re looking for this is the place, if enjoying the pool is your goal, probably not.

Beautiful and peaceful location.

My husband and I stayed at the Casita Cox for 5 days and we loved our time there. The house was so quiet and peaceful and had all the amenities we needed. I loved the well-stocked kitchen and enjoyed quite a bit of cooking while we were there, and Andy loved using the grill every night for yummy fish that we'd pick up from the super mercado in town. (In fact, if there was ANYTHING that I could critique about the place, it would be that the kitchen knives were a little bit dull, but whatever! That's a sign of an excellent home if the critique is on the dull knives. :)) We loved stretching out on the lawn chairs and watching the stars at night. And we LOVED having our own infinity pool. Thank you to Tim and Edgar for welcoming us and ensuring that we had everything we needed. That was such a wonderful vacation.
