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.

Great property, exceptional management. We had ages 12 - 71 and all loved our stay and the house. We booked 2 activities via the concierge and both were fantastic, Excellent recommendations. Plenty of pans and utensils to cook with. Pool was nice and warm. We enjoyed evenings on the patio with gentle rain cooling everything down. Excellent AC, bathrooms were great. Beds very comfortable. Easy access to groceries and the beach just down the hill. Highly recommend this property. It looks just like the pictures online. Alex our host made sure our stay was amazing.

Perfect House For Our Getaway

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.

Fun in the sun!

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!

Our first trip to Costa Rica

This property was AWESOME. We had 4 adults and 3 children (twins 5 and a 2 year old). The management team provided valuable assistance on local beaches and restaurants. The view is even better in person.
