Beachfront Casa Barracuda 3BR Luxury, pool w 1/3 acre, Playa Hermosa de Jaco!

Welcome to the luxurious Casa Barracuda, a gorgeous 3 bedroom vacation rental home on 1/3 acre, less than 30 steps to the soft sands & popular surf of Playa Hermosa de Garabito-Puntarenas, Costa Rica. This Playa Hermosa is famous for its relaxing vibe yet
you're only 10 minutes away from the multi-services & excitement of Jaco. This area is not only extremely popular with families & single surfers, but lately has become the romantic destination for weddings, honeymoons and later, babymoons!
You’ll love the modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, conveniences you’ll love, lots of granite counter tops, a Whirlpool double door refri with icemaker, even a dishwasher! The custom made CR hardwood kitchen cabinets are complemented with a granite breakfast bar with hardwood stools, facing the chef. The laundry with full size washer and dryer is right next to the kitchen and can be closed off with a folding curtain when desired.
The great room is truly great thanks to its double sliding glass doors providing nice ocean views from every angle. There’s excellent wireless high speed internet & the Samsung 50” HD TV, has streaming options + Blu-ray/DVD player. The glass-top dining table seats up to 8 guests with nicely cushioned chairs.
There are 2 overstuffed chairs, a comfy three-seat sofa, all with views of the free form enchanting private pool. Try the exercise bike we have, next to the window overlooking the outside table and pool area!
Once outside you’ll be surrounded by beautiful landscaping with tall palm & almond trees that will attract noisy colorful macaws, as the friendly iguanas will entertain you as they fight over your table scraps & fruit skins. -The manicured front & back yards (1/3 acre!) allow for all kinds of fun or privacy and soon the fruit trees will deliver their goods!

Casa Barracuda’s large-covered terrace with an upstairs pool deck allows you fantastic views where you can enjoy the sun and sounds of the sea either on a hammock or the many comfortable seating options. An outdoor table for four allows for alfresco dining. Grill that filet of the day on the stainless steel gas grill facing the ocean!
This 2800 sq ft spacious home has three bedrooms with a master bedroom featuring an excellent king size bed with 100% cotton sheets, fine pillows, closet with wall safe, and ensuite bathroom with combination shower and tub.
The two other bedrooms have very nice Queen beds and one Twin bed in each, and they both are next to a nice bathroom with shower.
Although Playa Hermosa (‘Beautiful Beach’) is a world-famous surfing beach and in May 2022 was named Central America’s first World Surf Reserve, you don’t have to be a surfer to love this beach.
I lived nearby for 18 years, and loved walking this beach at a nice pace taking in the sights & sounds, especially at low tide, (best time for families w/ kids!)
Sometimes a friend would pass me by doing his speed walks & I’d smile knowing he’s going too fast to see the daily treasures. Usually you won’t see many people on the beach like you would in Jaco, but when there’s great waves, the surfers come!
Our sunsets are world famous, from either our Casa Barracuda 2nd floor Deck, or walk north to our favorite beachfront restaurant, Vida Hermosa, about 25 minutes away. The surf break is one of the most consistent in Central America, and well known among surfers, who participate in lots of local competitions. The best surfing breaks occur almost the same time that Olive Ridley sea turtles come to lay their eggs! From June to Nov. https://youtu.be/mFeuEAGljx8

The Best of Costa Rica
There were seven adult family members, including four surfers that had the best break right outside the door! We could watch them surf from the second floor deck! The sunsets, OMG, they were phenomenal! Macaws roosted in the tree next door as well as the tree in the front of the house! We enjoyed a cat that obviously has adopted this house! Iguanas lounged by the pool with us. The house was clean, it had everything that we needed. A/C was perfect and appreciated because it is hot outside! The owner was responsive within five minutes of any questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend this place. Safe, beautiful, and well maintained. I miss Costa Rica already.

Exceptional Stay
The house has all the amenities required for a great stay. Add in the pounding of the surf to soothe your soul, the amazing sunsets, scores of Machaw parrots feeding in the almond trees on the beach edge and a large docile iguana keeping us company pool side all contributed to a memorable stay.

Playa Hermosa Paradise
We stayed at Casa Barracuda for 2 nights while visiting the Playa Hermosa area. The positives include: 1) The location across from the beach is perfect! 2) The property grounds are beautiful & safe. The patio area is amazing and would be a wonderful area for a larger group to kick back in the evening. 3) The kitchen was well equipped & living areas comfortable. 4) Overall the bedrooms were very comfortable but the air conditioner in one of the bedrooms did not work well so it never really cooled down. The reasons we did not give perfect ratings: 1) We did not have hot water in the master bathroom so we needed to share the second bathroom for showers ( a minor inconvenience since we were traveling with close friends) 2) We were given the wrong security code for the property & were not informed that the property manager we’d been communicating with & was to meet at the property at 4:00 was no longer managing this property for over a week. The new manager arrived about 30 minutes later to check us in, give us the correct codes, etc.

Barracuda House
We stayed here almost a month- Very niiice. Any major concerns we had- were taken care of right away which we greatly appreciated. We recommend staying here. The pictures and descriptions are spot on. We would recommend updating the refrigerator, dishes and pots n pans...but everything is functional The dishwasher definitely needs to be replaced-if sounds like a freight train because the deal is too loose. But it functions just fine... Good air conditioning and washer and dryer!!! Maintenance people were very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again if in the area! The beautiful beach is across the street ! The pool is fantastic and neighborhood safe. Thank you very much! Best regards-

Christmas in Costa Rica
The property is very nice and comfortable. Instead of exchanging gifts we choose to spend the holiday together in Costa Rica and the Casa Barracuda was an excellent choice. The host was very responsive which helped a great deal.

The place had a great vibe right across from the beach. Even better for surfing but great for anyone. The staff was friendly and helped us with our needs, like booking activeties. Thinking we'll be back next year.
