The neighborhood
Mar Vista gated Community, Playa Hermosa — perched above the Pacific coastline in Guanacaste — offers an elevated escape with sweeping ocean views and lush green surroundings. While you’ll feel worlds away, the vibrant beach town of Playa Hermosa is just a short drive down the hill, where calm, family-friendly waters meet lively restaurants and bars. Both snorkeling and adventure activities like zip-lining and ATV rides are easily accessible, and the airport at Liberia (LIR) is about 30 minutes away, making arrival simple and convenient. The neighborhood strikes the perfect balance between tranquil retreat and coastal convenience.
Guest reviews
“House was truly amazing. ”
October 2024! House was truly amazing. Family of 13 travelled from the U.S. and we stayed at this location and in La Fortuna (wish we had more time at this location). Pics don’t do this property justice - amazing view, house is awesome and up to date with every amenity you would want. Beach chairs / coolers and everything available also. Truly amazing experience and the view was priceless. The Zindis group was spectacular! We’ll be back and will stay here again! Thanks for everything! Amazing Country!
“Amazing house, even better than the pictures. ”
Amazing house, even better than the pictures. Well stocked with everything you could need. Very responsive and friendly hosts.
“Zindis really is a super host!!”
We stayed at Villa Encantada, hosted by Zindis. The house was beautiful, well appointed, well equipped, and had a spectacular view - perfect for our 14 family members. Prior to the trip, Bryan at Zindis worked with us to secure two rental cars (at a very competitive price), explore several excursion options, and provide numerous recommendations for local restaurants, shopping, etc. He attended to all the details, and we booked two outstanding excursions to Vandara and La Leona Waterfall. Both were great day trips, but the waterfall hike was our favorite. When we first arrived at the house, Edgar met us, let us in, and showed us the entire house. He and other Zindis staff were constantly in touch, making sure everything was okay. Seven days later, our departure flight was twice cancelled / rebooked. Fortunately, Bryan, Edgar, and Marlon allowed us to book three additional nights, and made the extended stay absolutely perfect! Zindis really is a super host!!
“The property and the zindis team were better than marketed! ”
The property and the zindis team were better than marketed! From the warm welcome and kind care for our kids, to the safety care and the beautiful setting, we could not speak more highly of our time. Thank you Edgar and Bryan in particular for your close care of us all week, booking massages on property, a private boat setting and taking care of Re supply of essentials as needed. We look forward to staying with Zindis again!
“Had an amazing family vacation”
Had an amazing family vacation. Edgar, our house manager, was fabulous! He checked in with us every few days and offered local suggestions of places to go and eat. Microwave in kitchen wasn’t working. We reached out to Edgar and he was there within a half hour to replace it. The Zindis Group is a great property management company. Highly recommend them. We definitely would stay at one of their properties again.
