To say our space was incredible is an understatement. It was gorgeous, spacious and so comfortable. Morning coffee on the balcony was one of the many highlights. The groundskeeper was wonderful and yet not intrusive. Our concierge was excellent, responsive and beyond helpful. Our daily housekeeper was a treat and also not intrusive. Steps from a gorgeous beach and wonderful restaurants. We will be back!

Home was perfect. Well laid out and had everything you would need for a stay in Playa Hermosa. Easy walk to beach which is rare and nice to have that option. Pool is beautiful and the lounging area adjacent to the pool was cool in the height of the heat.

We LOVED this elegant house, with its stunning views and ability to bring the outdoors inside. The rental team and house staff were very kind and helpful, and took good care of us. Given that we visited in the peak rainy season, we had a couple of technical challenges with the house (some minor leakage), but I am sure these will be addressed by the owner immediately and will not affect anyone else’s stay. The steep driveway was somewhat terrifying for us, as first-time ATV drivers, but indeed it IS possible to get up and down it with the ATVs (and nerves of steel). All-in-all, a VERY SPECIAL house in an off-the-beaten path part of town, secluded and teaming with wildlife, 5 minute walk to the best surfing beach. We loved it and will definitely look to come back to Casa Flotanta in the future.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2020
Really nicely designed home in a good location near entrance to Playa Hermosa. However, it really seemed like it needed some maintenance. The elements there are harsh, sun, rain, sand (and renters) and you could see it in the house. Metal beams, refrigerator, and speakers were rusty, wood needed to be sanded and stained, various items broken, including speakers and door latches. Lounge area downstairs was dirty and cushions were sun bleached. Pool was disgusting and not working, possibly as it is situated right beneath a tree that the capuchins hang out in on their way through, and so they drop a lot of debris in the water. We also were getting bitten by insects that were not mosquitoes and looked to us like bed bugs. All that said, the house is really nice and is a great example of award-winning design by architect Benjamin Garcia-Saxe. It’s just a shame that it isn’t maintained very well. We also stayed at Oceaneye, another Garcia-Saxe home down the road that was built around the same time, in 2013 or so, and the difference in upkeep was stark. Hopefully the owners have closed rentals for a while to give it the TLC it deserves.
