Casa Ventanas is located in the gated community of Monte Paraiso between Playa Hermosa and Playas del Coco. Being one of the last houses on the road gives you quick access to both beaches.

You’re also close to several area day trip spots – waterfalls, hiking, hot springs, and mud baths, cultural experiences, and river tours.  You can head just a few minutes south to the conveniences of Playas del Coco with several grocery stores, many restaurants, bars and shops. Guests have private access to the entire home with no shared areas. Inside, Casa Ventanas blends comfort and elegance seamlessly.

Golf carts CANNOT be used at this home. The location of the home makes it incredibly difficult for private drivers or taxis to access. We don't recommend this home for guests that don't want to have a rental vehicle. Our Vacation Specialist team can help you secure a discounted rental for your stay with free extras like a second driver, Wi-Fi Hotspot, GPS, car seats and more! VARIABLE PRICING - While this home sleeps 8, the pricing starts for groups of 6.  This variable pricing structure allows groups of all sizes to enjoy the home.  Please be sure to enter your accurate group size for proper pricing. GETTING AROUND - Guests should have a rental car for their stay, which we can assist with!  The driveway to the home is quite steep so large groups should consider smaller vehicles, rather than larger transfer vans. 4WD or AWD is highly recommended. The home is perched high in the hills of the development and is not accessible by foot or golf cart. We do not have Uber here and getting a taxi can be challenging. We do not recommend this home without a rental car or private driver. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot springs nearby - Infinity pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4.5 private bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe - Tour and ticket assistance ### Location highlights - In a village - In the city center - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the sea ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Gated community - Unit size: 2,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96670000/96666400/96666310/6d596fa1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Amarilla • 4 BR Luxury Villa • Infinity Pool & Papagayo Bay Views - 8 Guests Playa Hermosa - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=96666310&PinnedHotelID=96666310&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106850000/106841500/106841466/67505ad9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa del Mar • 4 BR Ocean-View Villa with Private Pool & BBQ • 8 Guests Playa Hermosa - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=106841466&PinnedHotelID=106841466&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89760000/89754400/89754340/4b2598ad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Playa Hermosa Home • 3 Master Suites • Large Pool & Terraces • Walk to Beach Playa Hermosa - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 15 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=89754340&PinnedHotelID=89754340&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90980000/90970800/90970758/2aeea167.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Playa del Coco Hillside Villa • 4BR • Infinity Pool • Bay & Ocean Views Guanacaste Province - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 35 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=90970758&PinnedHotelID=90970758&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113710000/113700200/113700146/b0c09696.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Jaw dropping view.

Our group of 7 fit comfortably within the home. Would definitely recommend! ##### Janet H. Stayed 11 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie R. Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vacation with friends The view from this house is absolutely breathtaking. The drive to the house might give some anxiety. Our initial drive to the house was a bit nerve wrecking. However it did seem easier each time. Definitely make sure you have 4 wheel drive. We had 2 all wheel drive vehicles that had a bit of a hard time getting up the steep drive and then backing into the car port. The house fit 8 people very well. The bedrooms are very nice sizes and the air conditioners in each room upstairs worked great. My only suggestion would be to maybe install a wall unit in the downstairs bedroom as it was a bit warm. The outdoor areas are absolutely amazing. We enjoyed so much of our time in the infinity pool. While you are in the pool the views are spectacular. You see so many butterflies and beautiful birds as well. We did have a very large iguana who came to visit daily as well. The kitchen is very well stocked. We had everything we needed. My only small complaints were that the bathrooms and the kitchen were a bit dirty. Not sure if it was because it hadn’t been occupied for a little while. But there were small insects dead and alive in both areas. ##### Carrie R.

Jul 10, 2025 #### Casa Ventanas We had a great time staying at Casa Ventanas for a week in early July. The house had more than enough room for our family of four. It was clean, spacious and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool area. Yes, the road in/out is steep, but you get used to it. We had an AWD car and never ran into an issue. Being on a hill is how you get the great view. Rich Coast Vacations was very responsive to all our questions/needs and even helped us coordinate a private fishing trip and private ATV tour. We would definitely stay here again, thank you!! ##### Daniel L. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa P. Jun 29, 2025 #### Magical Our stay in Costa Rica was absolutely magical! The home was spacious enough for all seven of us, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy time together. The pool and view were straight out of a dream—and waking up to butterflies and a view from the bedroom (and even the showers!) was something we’ll never forget. The kitchen had everything we needed for breakfast and lunch, and we even grilled one night for dinner. We spent our evenings enjoying the sunset and having game nights—some of our favorite memories from the trip. Every little detail made our stay special, but what stood out most was the warmth of the people—we felt so welcomed everywhere we went. An unforgettable trip and the perfect family getaway. We’d go back in a heartbeat! ##### Lisa P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### david s.

The homes proximity to Playa Hermosa is great and it’s a great beach. The homes configuration is exceptional for two couples and two are sized nicely. Our mattress and linens were great. The other couple said there bed was squeaky but comfortable. There were only a couple of live bugs over the ten days we were there. That seems exceptional. The kitchen is spacious. The grill area is useful and attractive. The home overlooks playa Hermosa. They provided lots of laundry detergent. There were plenty of towels. The beach chairs were great and it was nice having them available. The internet was fast. The bad- road noise is constant and takes away from the tranquility we expected while relaxing by the pool. The noise is truly terrible. The home was dirty and had not been cleaned well before we arrived. The pool was cloudy and unkept for three out of ten days we were there. The pots and pans were cheap. The driveway is severely sloped and makes coming and going frightening for two of our guests. One of the lounge chairs by the pool was broken. Rich Coast Vacations were responsive and helpful. I would rent from them again. We will visit Playa Hermosa and Coco again.

Mar 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Hillside Home in Costa Rica This home was more beautiful than the pictures online. The views from all the windows were stunning. We enjoyed getting up every day and having coffee by the pool and looking out over the water.What a perfect way to start each day.The location is great for access to the town Coco and Hermosa Beach.Great restaurants!The services we utilized that were provided by the management group were so nice. We ordered groceries to be delivered to the home before we arrived. It saved us a trip to the store that first day.We also had Chef Aron come one night to prepare a meal. The food was amazing, and he has a very comfortable personality that made it nice while we enjoyed the food. We wish we had him come cook more than just once.I would go back to this beautiful home again when we visit Costa Rica. ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe O. Feb 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house in a great location Vacation for three couples. This house was perfect. Only draw back was it was on a very steep hill. If renting car, definitely rent a 4 wheel drive. Very steep. But worth the drive and able to do with 4 wheel drive vehicle. We loved this house and the management team, especially Kerri was great to work with and helped us with many things including transportation and excursions for group who never visited Costa Rica before. All the arrangements were spot on. ##### Joe O. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie O. Jun 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 5-Star Experience We booked this property almost immediately after finding it because it looked amazing and the price was right. It did not disappoint!! The views are jaw-dropping from the moment you walk in the door and look through the two-story glass stairwell straight out to the Pacific. Huge glass windows also run all along the back of the house so that you can constantly see the beauty of the ocean and canopy of trees (butterflies and birds everywhere!). But it’s not just the view that makes the house so great. It had everything we needed and more. Comfortable seating in the living room, two dining areas (indoor and out), outdoor seating, dishes and cutlery, pots and pans. Then we hit a gold mine when we checked the closet under the stairs and found snorkel goggles, boogie boards and fishing rods! En-suite bathrooms in each bedroom, an outdoor shower and that infinity pool were icing on the cake. Note: get a 4WD car! You’ll need it for this gated neighborhood and driveway as it’s built on a steep hill (reason for those views). Also you need to be ok with taking a lot of stairs. Not an issue for us but might be for others (flight down when you walk in and another flight up for bedrooms) We loved Hermos: smaller and less crowded than Coco (although neither was what we’d call busy). Beach is less than 5 min away. Mini grocery store less than 5 min and a large one is 10 min away. Great restaurants just a few min away along the beach. One of our best vacations ever! ##### Stephanie O.
