About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded Luxury Hacienda- Close to Beach, Amazing Pool, Gated, AC

Casa Espana is amazingly authentic Costa Rican. The materials and the furnishings were all made right here in Costa Rica. The artwork is incredible. There is not a better place for a family vacation. The home is even better than the pictures show. Built by Renowned builder Kelie Limehouse as her personal residence. You and your guests can really immerse yourself in the culture with the luxury of a chef to cook you local favorites.

Casa Espana is the number one property in all of Jaco / Playa Hermosa with the most bookings in the area. We offer complimentary housekeeping every day except Sunday.

The property consists of 2 houses- The Main House and The Casita (which is perfect for teens or young adults who may want to stay up later than the other guests)

The layout is as follows:
Main House

1 King Bed - Bedroom 1 - 1st Floor (down one level from the main floor) Private Bath

1 King Bed - Master Bedroom 3rd Floor - Private Bath

1 Queen Bed - 3rd Floor Bedroom - Private Bath

1 Queen Bed - 4th Floor Bedroom - Private Bath

Casita

1 Queen Bed - Right Side Bedroom - Shared Bath

1 Queen Bed - Left Side Bedroom (this bedroom has two rooms) Shared Bath

Chef

Casa Espana, is 4 minutes and 25 seconds from the beach, 9 minutes from downtown Jaco and 1 hour, fifteen minutes from the San Jose (SJO) airport. It is in a small quiet, gated community called Opera Salvaje in Playa Hermosa. The house is secluded, has it's own gate, a large pool, and equipped like a luxury home in the US would be.

The main house of Casa Espana contains four bedrooms on three levels and four full bathrooms. The estate's guesthouse has three bedrooms and one bathroom.

The favorite part of this estate for every child is the beautiful and prominent swimming pool. There is a jacuzzi, pool bathroom, and a big yard.

The house is spacious, with a large open living, kitchen dining area, a banquet table for 12, and a second table for 4. There is an indoor waterfall, high-speed wireless Internet throughout, cable TV, Netflix, and cold AC throughout the entire property. You will have all the amenities of home while living in the jungles of Central America.

The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher. stove and oven, a large island, and plenty of room to cook up a storm. We have installed 5 stage reverse-osmosis water filter systems for drinking water. You won't find a better tasting, safer water anywhere.

Here are some of the activities nearby:

Zip Lining - 20 minutes to the North in Los Suenos

Horseback riding 15 minutes away

Surfing Lessons in Jaco just 9 Minutes away

Manuel Antonio National Park (guaranteed Monkies) 50 minutes to the South.

ATV Rides 9 Minutes Away

River Rafting 50 minutes to the South

Golf 20 MInutes North

SCUBA Diving

There is so much more. If there is anything you are interested in that I didn't mention, ask.

Getting Here: We are a 75-minute drive from the San Jose airport. You can rent a car from Vamos in San Jose and drive yourself. It is highway all the way. Navigate to Playa Hermosa and Casa Espana is on (Hidden by Airbnb) maps. If you aren't comfortable driving here, we can arrange transportation for you. Once you are in Jaco, we can help you get a rental car.

Is this the right place for you? I picked this area and this home very carefully. There are lots of places in Costa Rica that look good on the internet. Most of them are as beautiful as the pictures. Even though Costa Rica is a small country, it can take a long time to get from one place to another. I looked at lots of locations. Many of the areas that try to attract your tourism dollars are in the middle of nowhere. Playa Hermosa is perfect. It's minutes from Jaco but away from the chaos. You have dozens of restaurants to choose from, loads of nightlife, a fancy casino, and every activity imaginable a short ride away.. And it's all right here on the Pacific ocean.

If you have any questions about travel to Costa Rica, I am happy to answer them.

In this hacienda we host families, friends, and company get-togethers. Casa Espana is a luxury home within a gated community. It's not for bachelor parties. Only the guests registered with the guards and us at the gate are allowed on the property.

Guest access

Andrey will check you in and out. The house has electronic locks.

Interaction with guests

Andrey has lived in Jaco all his life. He knows all the best tour operators and guides. He will act as your personal concierge.

The house was as perfect and true to the description. We stayed for 7 days. Strong A/C and wifi. Chef service is highly recommended. Melissa took care of all excursions, drivers, and just everything. Water doesnt get very hot but that wasnt a big deal to us. Saw lots of macaws here and iguanas. You can even walk to a local neighborhood small open air grocery that was a bonus.

Great House & Staff!

We had a group of 10 for a fishing vacation and stayed at Casa de Espana. The home was beautiful & very clean. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. While the home was perfect, it was a bit further from Los Suenos and Jaco than I had hoped. Excellent proximity to Playa Hermosa, however. I would absolutely stay again.

I just stayed at this Hacienda, Casa de Espana, and I HIGHLY recommend for anyone traveling with a group. The house is super clean and so beautiful. The property is amazing with a gorgeous pool. The house and property is even more beautiful than the pictures. But what truly makes this house worth it is the staff! Melissa is truly the best and helped guide me from beginning to end. She helped prepare decorations for the bachelorette my group was celebrating, organized transportation to/from the house, arranged for a chef, a private yoga instructor, and so much more. I wouldn’t have been able to plan this trip without her. She is super responsive and so hospitable. She helped us every step of the way. Casa de Espana and Melissa are the best! I would love to come back.

exceeded expectations.

This was the perfect house for my family ages from 4 to 88 years old. The cleanliness exceeded our expectations'. We saw more wildlife from Casa de Espana then any of the various tours that we took. We saw macaws, toucans, Motmots, and monkeys, without leaving the neighborhood, and much more. Melissa was wonderful in helping to secure a chef for my sons' engagement party. It was spectacular. We did have one room without working A.C. and the shower in that room didn't work so my guests had to share a shower. The toilet was not working in that room when we arrived but my son in law repaired it. I read about these problems in the review, so I was not surprised just disappointed the problems had not been resolved since I read the review. The minor discomforts didn't keep us from enjoying our stay. I highly recommend staying here. If you need anything, just ask Melissa. She is most accommodating and will make your vacation stress free. Thank you Loryl for the use of your magnificent home.

Beautiful place but had a bug problem

The house was the perfect size for 12 of us. Mellisa was wonderful. She decorated the house for my niece's birthday when we arrived and had the house full of groceries fror us and a special treat. She also set up the chefs who were awesome. Small problems that didn't bother us to much were the toilet didn't work in the guess house, every shower in the main house had temperature differences, some had no hot water, some had no cold water. The pool bathroom didn't work, the jets in the hot tub didn't work. The BIG PROBLEMS that made sleeping difficult was the termite and COCKROACH problem. Termites were so bad that every morning my son woke up covered in debris. I had a large cockroach run across my hand in bed and there were more in my parents bedroom. I could not sleep knowing cockroaches were climbing on me at night. We could deal with the mechanical issues but should get some sort of refund for the bugs. I ended up sleeping in long pants, long-sleeved shirt, socks and a mask so I would feel cockroaches crawling on me at night.

Nice location. Great pool

All in all our family week was great. GROUNDS:The house was good for the number of people we had-15. The kids loved the pool and spent many hours in it. The location was adequate, but don't expect it to be close to a swimmable beach. Jaco is the closest best beach for kids. The little market down the street is good for snacks, drinks, and small staples. The quard at the entrance is very attentive and takes his job.seriousely so you feel safe. HOUSE: The beds are comfortable but linens are really worn. AC: Two units did not work, they fixed one and promised to replace othe other but they never materialized. That was frustrating. Kitchen: we had a chef in each night that was phenomenal! Thank goodness because the pots and pans were also old, scratched and worn that I'm not sure how I could have used them. Many of the plastic glasses were cracked so they leaked. Water pressure is a huge issue often leaving soapy hair and half finished showers. I was told this was to be expected. So we dealt with it and chalked it up to the CR experience. One of the best parts of the house is Audrey. We used his services for so many excursions and all but the fishing was great. He genuinely cares about his visitors and wishes to make the vacation memorable. All in all we enjoyed the house but it does need alot of updating and minor repairs. New pots and pans, glasses, and outdoor furniture, (as the rattan was in shambles and very uncomfortable) would make a huge difference. I think people would pay a bit more for a more updated house-that has awesome potential!

Would not stay again

The host that met with us, Andre, was amazing. He did what he could to meet our needs; however, the property needed a lot and was not okay. The property manager met our concerns by trying to gaslight us. One of the a/c were out in the main house (one in guest house but that was fixed). The one that was out was in the main living space where we gathered and she told us “I’m sure you guys are more than comfortable.” It was not comfortable. Food could not be left on counters because of the bugs. We were told this was Costa Rica and accepted it and kept the food up. But then we were met with a swarm of bugs in the master bedroom. The whole nest came alive when the rain started and left bugs all over our personal items. Could not even sleep in the beds. There were multiple leaks in the roof that leaked on the beds and floor. Again, personal items were leaked on too. The kitchen windows allowed water to come in and flooded the counter tops so much that it leaked over the floor. Other concerns that we kind of just dealt with were the fridge did not cool properly, the pool bathroom was not functional, and some of the toilets did not work (cleaning lady blamed us), the grill was not functional (the previous tenants broke this and new one was supposedly on its way from U.S.). We were never informed on all the things that were broken until we showed up and at that point, had no other choice but to stay. The house was gorgeous but with the leaks, bugs, and a/c being out, it was completely uncomfortable!!

Wonderful week getaway at Casa de Espana. The pool was a major highlight as we hit it almost daily before venturing out for our activities. Location is great, private yet secure. Spacious house and then the added casita was a bonus--- my teenagers stayed there and loved having their own private space. Two thumbs up. Plus, Andrey, the local contact was helpful, available and a great added asset to the house. Daily housekeeping was also a nice commodity. Highly recommend!

Luxury Secluded Beach house: Disappointing

We arrived at the beautiful home and were excited. The setting, the location, the pool, the interior ambiance were all just as we had hoped for. We were met by the property manager, who was enthusiastic, and friendly. But in reality he was eagerly trying to sell us tours and activities. Once he realized we already had all taken care of he was almost never heard from again.. OK the problems. The house is old and the appliances are uniformly bad. Washer drying would leave clothes wet and grease stained. The kitchen sink leaked and in the morning you would have water all over the kitchen floor. The fridge would not get cold enough and things like ice cream just melted in the freezer. The plumbing was poor even for CR standards. (I've lived in CR for 15 years and know you can get good stuff down there if you want it.) A few of the showers barely sprayed and when they did spray since there were not shower curtains the bathroom floors got soaked. The internet was good. The mattresses were better than expected. The furniture was nice. One of the bedrooms had no storage, no shelves, no closet so you lived out of your suitcase. The maid service was only so so. I doubt she had been trained in her duties. Be the way, be careful going up and down the stairs as the are narrow and it is easy to slip on them. I wrote this review from a man's standpoint. I think the ladies would be more critical. All in all I give the ambiance and location a 5 star and the house condition a 2 star. December 1-10 2021. We probably would not return to this home.

Awesome stay at Casa Espana

Overall, our week-long stay at Casa de Espana was amazing and our group of 13 friends had a great time. The on-site host/concierge Andrey was incredibly attentive and helpful with booking transportation and things around town. The private pool was also a big plus for our group. We did have an issue with the A/C unit in the master bedroom but it was sorted out and resolved quickly by Andrey and their team. I will note that the listing says the house is close to the beach but it is not a close or easy walk to the beach from the property. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fishing in Costa Rica

Our group of 5 guys enjoyed our fishing trip to Costa Rica. The house has a couple of issues that if addressed will improve the experience for future guests. It rained a couple of days during our stay and that caused leaks in the smaller bedroom on the third floor, in the bathroom next to the toilet, and next to the bed in the bedroom on the second floor. We stayed four nights and only had maid service one day during our visit. Andrey, the property manager recommended a chef and the chef and his staff were excellent! They prepared and served us two dinner meals, one included fish we caught the same day. As I said, we had a good time and would recommend this property to family and friends as long as the leaking roof is repaired. The location in proximity to Jaco Beach and other attractions is very good. Thanks, AJ

Magical

We had two families, with seven kids total ranging in age from 8 to 14. There was plenty of room for all of us, comfortable beds and bedrooms, and the pool was perfection. The location was wonderful. We were able to enjoy slow mornings while the kids swim and we sat on the beautiful porch. And when we came home from adventures during the day, it was the perfect place to relax.Air conditioning throughout the main house and the guesthouse. We did lose power on one evening but it wasn’t out for very long. We had rental cars and drove quite a bit, the local beach is pretty rough for swimming, so we just swam at our different adventures during the day. Plenty of great food and shops in Jaco. Tons of cyclists and pedestrians out on roads. We felt very safe. The house is beautifully designed and decorated and Had all we needed. The house keepers came a few times but we were able to do our own thing. The washer and dryer got tons of use. We did have some issues communicating with the house liaison, which was a bit frustrating, but that was the only issue. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation.

Great stay at Casa de Estansa

Our family of 12 enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property outside of Jaco. The home was lovely and unique and it was great to have the casita which added 3 bedrooms. My only concern was that it was listed as close to the beach and it was more like 10 minutes to the closest beach and 20 to one that kids could enjoy. Overall the house exceeded our expectations and the house manager Mariciela is fantastic with exceptional recommendations. We would highly recommend the private chef she set up for us.
