Playa Hermosa Inn at the beach

Se siente como si estuviera en casa

Lovely balconies and a beautiful classic house.

We stayed on the first warm Saturday night of the spring so it got noisy being near an entrance to the beach.

The house is charming with a lot of potential. The location is excellent, close to the beach, good restaurants, convenience stores, etc. The best thing was the hospitality by Channon and his wife who were lovely, friendly, and dedicated to making everyone feel welcomed. We were happy to see the guests enjoying the common areas, and while we prefer more privacy, I can appreciate the community spirit fostered here.

The interior is tired and needs updating. The carpets felt dirty and weirdly squishy. I appreciate that this property welcomes pets, and ideally there would be no carpeting for pets to accidentally ruin. We were excited to stay here based on the photos, but in person the interior felt much darker and heavier than expected. Even during the day, we needed to turn on multiple lights, and the thick drapes and heavy wood finishes made the rooms feel closed in. The furniture and décor are solid and traditional, but combined with the dim lighting, it gave the house a slightly gloomy atmosphere rather than a relaxing getaway vibe.

We can see why this place has good ratings. It's not too big, so service was personal and quick. The place has an easy charm that makes it comfortable and unhurried. What really stands out, though, is how quickly the problems and questions are addressed. No place is perfect, of course, but when something's not quite right (or in this case when I didn't know how to do a thing), what stands out is how issues and questions are handled. Their enthusiastic handling alone would be enough to warrant good reviews. Add on to that their helpful and excellent recommendations for local food and things to do, reasonable prices, nice accommodations and a wonderful location quite literally across the street from the beach, and it definitely deserves five stars. We look forward to going again soon.
