About this house rental

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 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.

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.

Just the right size for our group. Lots of room. Melissa was very attentive. The private chef was the highlight of our stay.

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.

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.

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.
