Información de la propiedad

The Full Moon, located at Playa Hermosa (beautiful beach), is on the quieter north end of Santa Teresa. Full Moon was custom built in 2010 as our get-away - now we find we are not there as often as we would like, so we will share with you! Located at north end of Santa Teresa in a quieter area. Full Moon is perfect for 4 adults or a (limited to) small family of 5. Both bedrooms are furnished with a queen bed (and one with a single bed as well),and they both have their own garden bathroom. (See our 1 bedroom Half Moon #989649, which is on our property for additional accommodations) Complete comforts of home, but is not your home - it is your Latin American getaway! The large living room is open concept with a large very well equipped kitchen - check out the massive bar! A dining table seats 6-8, with its built-in banquet, so you can invite friends you met on the beach for dinner. Comfortably furnished for a truly laid back Latin American experience. There is air-conditioning in every room and ceiling fans, the kitchen is fully equipped - refrigerator, range/oven, microwave, etc. I love our huge teak deck to take in the sultry air and snooze, read or watch for monkeys, parrots, hummingbirds, iguanas, etc. Beautiful split bamboo lines every ceiling in the home. No alarms necessary! The howler monkeys visit, sometimes twice a day! They troop along the treetops and graze on leaves and flowers of the trees of the property. You can call in for chef services, massages, private yoga or Pilates instructions, arrange surf lessons, go horseback riding at a nearby Eco farm, take a drive and discover why we built in this beautiful area of Costa Rica. Our area was featured in the New York Times Style Magazine - Travel in May 2016.

Great location!

We had the best stay at the Full Moon! The house was comfortable and well-appointed with indoor and outdoor areas to relax. The outdoor showers were lovely! The best part of our stay, though, was the location - away from the bustle of Santa Teresa, and a short walk to the beach. We were able to rent surf boards and get lessons right across the street and then come back later for lunch at the Cafe. It was an excellent week of surfing at Playa Hermosa! For dinner out, we highly recommend Atardecer Dorado in Manzanillo. The food is great and they have the best ocean views of any restaurant we went to.

Amazing property 2 minutes walk to the beach.

Full moon is a wonderful space with every possible kitchen amenity, great showers and bathrooms, air conditioning in all the rooms what you really need here in Costa Rica, directly across the street from a cafe that is pretty good that serves breakfast and lunch. The property is spacious and clean and well stocked with everything you would probably want almost as good as a luxury hotel. I sat on the deck and watched an iguana camouflaged in a branch watching me. For the most part the property is quiet. It is located on the beach access road behind a private gate. The property manager or concierge is named is Kristi. She went out of her way to help with any requests that I had. Including dropping me off downtown to rent a bike. She is very friendly and speaks English well. She did everything she could to make my stay comfortable and she responded very quickly to any questions I had. The villa does not have any views of the ocean but you can hear it with the doors open. Also in case you're looking for a smaller place Denise the owner also rents another studio with bathroom and fully stocked kitchen on the same property for a little bit less money. This is also a very cute place. And by the way, the internet works great. Anyway it's a wonderful property and I strongly recommend it.

What a perfect house for a costa rica get away. The location, within a short walking distance of the beach, but very private and across the street from our favorite breakfast and lunch spot, the house is beautiful with great outdoor showers and roomy living areas. Definately would recommend

We went without a lot of plans , but there is a lot to see on this peninsula and this house was about 400 yards from a beautiful beach and a great place to relax. Recommend renting quads too. Great way to get around.

Excellent location and a wonderful experience for my family

I spent a week with my family in this lovely home and we could have stayed a month or more... close to the beach with everything you need close by. The surfing was amazing. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect home base for a week in paradise!

We stayed at Denise's lovely home for a week for a family vacation. The house is really well laid out for two adults and two kids, and it had everything we needed and more. The location is absolutely incredible, just a few minutes to walk to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world with a cafe and surf shop right across the street. We'll definitely stay here again on our next trip!

Loved our stay at Full Moon

We were very comfortable, enjoyed mornings and evenings out on the deck, refreshing a/c mid day. We surfed each morn and evening, easy walk to beach, loved the easy access at Playa Hermosa. As a beginner it was the perfect place to learn. Board rentals right next door, so easy. Ate in a few times, easy trip to restaurants, casual or upscale, whatever you choose. Everyone was so nice, we totally enjoyed our stay. Thanks Denise for sharing your great place!

Excellent Home in Perfect Location

We spent an amazing week at this home and have nothing but praise. A lovely, fully equipped house with every convenience. Five minute walk to excellent beach, good restaurant across the street and great café next door. Colourful town Santa Teresa, very ugly, but so interesting. We were well taken care of, very comfortable and enjoyed the surroundings. Yes, roads are beyond belief, but that can also be an adventure.

Nature!

We really enjoyed our stay at Full Moon House. We were greeted by Denise who was very accommodating and hospitable to my family. I would like to take the time and say thank you for being generous and flexible with us. We really appreciated the attention and letting us stay in your home. We were put in contact with property managers Noelia and Kristi who told us about local restaurants and about a nice tide pool located close by. You’ll have to ask them where that is. :) The kids were able to see tiny lobsters, shrimp, fish, etc in the pools. The property is beautiful and nestled into the mature palm and banana trees. The bamboo ceilings of the house are a nice architectural touch that make the house one with nature. The outside showers were also a reminder that you are definitely in a tropical place. We loved hearing the howler monkeys in the distance as well as the various species of birds that would fly by the area and take over tree tops. The house is several minutes away from downtown Santa Teresa which was perfect for my family. We didn’t want the night time noise of the crowds, cars, dirt bikes, ATVs. Instead, we got to listen to various insects, lizards etc. with the occasional rooster crow. Across the street you have Couleur Café which is French owned restaurant. We had a couple of meals there. They serve dinner only twice a week when we went. Tiamat Surf Lodge is literally steps down the road (on your way to the Playa Hermosa). They have good prices for rentals and also serve food. My son and I received lessons for 1.5 hours and were able to keep the surf boards for longer. All in all it was a great vacation and loved Full Moon House. Pura Vida Denise, Noelia and Kristi.

Second time around.

As usual the stay at Full Moon house was relaxing, rejuvinating and well worth the drive from Liberia! There were a few hiccups, but we all managed to deal with them and get into the Costa Rican groove. Denise and Will are great owners that care and communicate. A wonderful asset when renting a home. Their caretakers Noelia and Kristi are so awesome, always around to help or answer any questions. We really enjoyed our second time down there as we felt like we were part of the community this time. Couleur Cafe is the best and right across the street. The beach is peaceful and inviting. We had fresh coconut water every day there and met locals that have become friends. We will all go back as soon as we can! LOVE LOVE LOVE

Relaxing house

Great place in playa Hermosa. The beach is a few minutes from Santa Teresa and is very quiet. The home is a 3 minute walk to the beach which is beautiful. Good beach for kids - soft waves on the shore - and great all round location. The house is very good. The whole place is filled with windows which keep it bright all day long. The kitchen is great (all items are there), The rooms are good (two suites) and a nice balcony. The bathrooms have a "sky windows" which is great, but the shower heads are not the best. They provide towels which is great (not the newest ones but you are at the beach). A lot of monkeys, lizards and birds all round the property all the way to the house. Loved the home and location. The manager around is great and helps on any occasion. One supermarket about 5 minutes around and two restaurants right next to the spot. One room had some dirt from the roof but nothing much to complain. The owners are very helpful and available. Can´t go wrong.

This is the place!!!

What a gem! Let's start with the location: Hermosa beach lives up to it's name and more. Perfect for surfing or any other ocean recreation you could possibly imagine. Close enough yet far enough away from Santa Theresa. This house is just a 5 minute walk to the beach. It's spacious with an open floor plan that makes life feel free and easy. Open the large sliding doors out onto the deck for relaxing in the evening and listen to the waves. The beds are comfy. The bathrooms have outdoor showers that work well. Their staff are helpful, friendly, and professional. Everyone we met in the area was as cool and sweet as can be. Really, I don't think we could have possibly had a better experience. I highly recommend this house!

Pura Vida!! Our Best Family Spring Break Ever!

From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome at The Full Moon home. We were greeted by Noelia and she showed us all around the beautiful, spacious home. We were also lucky to meet Will when we arrived and he even gave us a delicious dinner to cook since the markets were already closed! Our family had such a great time spending most of our days at the beautiful nearby beaches and relaxing in the afternoon at the house before heading down to the beach again for sunset. Kristi and Noelia kept in touch with us the entire time we were there and helped us do all the activities we wanted. Our family really enjoyed horseback riding and zip lining! The house was very clean & so comfortable for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals at home! We had such a fantastic family spring break!! Thank you so much Denise and Will! We can't wait to return next year!

Perfect Getaway for a Family of 4

Loved this house!!! We stayed here in December and had a wonderful family vacation. The home is close to the beach (only a 5 minute walk), it's clean, has AC which allowed a welcomed break from the mid day heat. The home has two bedrooms and a spacious living room area. It's not large but it's all you really need. The house is right next to a fabulous cafe - really fresh ingredients and healthy food, smoothies and cocktails. The surf shop across the street has surf boards for rent and they can set up lessons for you too. Noelia is the property manager and she lives right next door should you need anything. Denise, the owner, was really easy to work with and I had several lovely email exchanges with her. The house has a great sized patio to sit and read a book and sip coffee in the morning. Overall, we loved it here!! Great house at a great price.

Fantastic location and Welcoming home

I first have to say that it's hard for me to write this review because I don't really want to share the house and location with anyone else! What a fantastic first trip to Costa Rica for us. While our drive to Full Moon house was adventurous to say the least with the dirt roads and pot holes. Once there it was the best hidden gem we could have hoped for. Greeted by Kristi when we arrived was wonderful and welcoming. The house was clean, and was as if it was waiting for us. The short walk to the beach (3-4min tops) is easy with Monkeys in the trees, Iguanas lounging on branches or on the side of the road and flowers on the bushes. Playa Hermosa is a vast white sand beach , with perfect waves for body surfing, boogie boards or surfing. At any given time there were no more than 60 people visible on a 3 or 4 km beach. The only minus to this particular beach is that there isn't tons of shade to set your towel on. So we ventured about 10 min to the right and found a great beach with Mangrove trees that hung over the sand to give you shade when the sun just got to hot. Full moon is situated right next door to a wonderful café called Couleur Café that serves dinner Mon and Tues evenings and breakfast and lunches the other times. Friendly staff and amazing food! Across the street from Full Moon is a small surf shop where you can rent boards for the day! Kristi and Noelia ( caretakers of Full Moon) are great "go to" ladies for anything you may need and Denise and Will are great owners also with a wealth of knowledge. The Kitchen has pretty much all you need for cooking, maybe a few more serving bowls for salads and such but nothing we couldn't figure out. While alot of people may not want to cook on their holiday, we found it to be less expensive than going out for every meal. With fresh local fish why wouldn't you cook!! Will has said that there will be a new BBQ soon which will be a great addition to the rental. Bathrooms were so cool, as the shower is outside and you literally can see the monkeys overhead in the trees while you shower! If you are contemplating renting this fabulous home, don't hesitate any longer. You cannot go wrong! Don't forget to make sure to see the sunset every night down at the beach, it will take your breath away!! Thanks Denise and Will for sharing your wonderful Costa Rican home with us!

The most legitimate and unforgettable Santa Teresa experience!

Staying at the Full Moon house in Santa Teresa was the best decision we could have made. The house is beautiful - located in a very quiet setting where there is guaranteed relaxation as well as a very welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted by one of the owner's who made us feel extremely welcome as well as shared some very important insight on best surf brakes and times. The house is very open, with a large living room that during the day is able to keep cool while the temperature outside is skyrocketing. All the appliances in the kitchen are brand new and the open kitchen layout allows for a fun post-surf cook and chill environment. I must admit that our favorite part of the house was the open bathroom and shower. It was the most amazing feeling to come back every day from our morning surf session and take a shower looking at the sky and trees around us. The other amazing feature of the house was its location. Literally a three minute walk from Hermosa beach, our favorite surf spot. Aside from all the wonderful stuff mentioned above, the house comes with a couple of great people who lived close by and who were around any time we needed help with something. Also, not that safety is any issue in Santa Teresa but the house has a gate that can be closed at any time during the day. This was my sixth visit to Santa Teresa where I have always stayed in hotels. I must admit that this was absolutely my favorite visit and I can guarantee that the Full Moon house was the main reason. We felt absolutely at home every day and when we left, it felt like we were leaving our home behind. We will always come back to Santa Teresa and if we are lucky, we will stay at the Full Moon House every time!

Beautiful Home in Ideal Location

This home was beautiful and well equipped for all of our needs, very clean and well cared for. We saw monkeys and sea turtles at the beach, enjoyed lovely sunsets every night and relaxed in hammocks under the palm trees. There was a variety of wildlife around the home including a family of monkeys and beautiful birds. We enjoyed the location being just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Theresa. We very highly recommend this home!!!

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Denise Graham

I grew up on Long Island, New York and spent my summers at the beach. Will's father was in the Navy so his life has always been around water. In Virginia Beach when he was around 13 he started surfing and found his passion. When we are not in Costa Rica we live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in Southern Shores. We live on a canal for kayaking and boating and moments from the Atlantic for Will's surfing, close to Duck, Corolla , Nags Head and an hour from Hatteras. We have been in the Property Management and Real Estate business for 25 years here founded 2 fantastic companies Corolla Classic Vacations (subsequently selling it in '08) & Corolla Real Estate. We know the importance of maintaining and upgrading. Our hearts are always in the arena of taking care of people and houses on the beach and providing the best vacations.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

We first vacationed in Santa Teresa in 2004 and found a place we kept wanting to return to. In 2006 we purchased property on the Ocean in Manzanillo. Then we purchased this piece in 2007 and after careful consideration and collaborations we built Full Moon and Half Moon. We love the location because we can walk to the beautiful beach. We chose this area because it still holds a relatively rugged feel with its dirt roads and low level development. People from all over the world live and vacation here. Because the area attracts surfers along with health conscience individuals it is forefront with Yoga Retreats, Spas, and emerging trends for your body and soul. You will find it to be a very youthful and entrepreneurial area. Wonderful restaurants or chef services provide the best and freshest foods for ultimate dining. Our area was featured in the New York Times Style Magazine - Travel May 2016.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Full Moon is understated, but I believe it is also beautiful! Those bamboo ceilings are a constant reminder that you are in the tropics. Lounging on the huge teak deck you are almost always protected from the sun with its massive overhang. Seeing the monkeys in the trees from your shower - awesome! We always meet someone new while we are here as everyone goes to the beach to watch the sunset before dinner.
