About this property

A true paradise in Playa Hermosa Guanacaste

The view from our house is breathtaking. It encompasses the Pacific Ocean, Batt island, Papagayo Gulf, Monkey rock, and a peninsula, which is now home to the newest Four Seasons Resort just across the bay. The property also overlooks the local Canopy, where Howler Monkeys can frequently be seen along with a wide variety of birds, butterflies and other indigenous fauna.

Our brand-new, seven-bedroom three-story house near the beach in Playa Hermosa is completely furnished and fully air-conditioned. With 2 large modern kitchens, dining and living areas or rather Great Rooms, that have high cathedral ceilings, gives you lots of room for family and friends without being cramped. The front patio is furnished and has all the romantic lighting for nighttime relaxation, while the sounds of the waves hitting the beach and the stars and moon touching the water, mellow you out.

Sitting in the outdoor jacuzzi pool on the third floor of the house on your private terrace is in itself a lifetime relaxing experience with state-of-the-art jets massaging your body, while the breathtaking views of the ocean tickle your mind. Sitting by the pool or at the far end there is a hammock, waiting for you to take that outdoor snooze or just lay back and finish reading that novel or have your mind wander.

This property is located in a gated community of Monte Paraiso, the house and the condo is equipped with fully electronic and ground private security, as well as a full-time maid and housekeeping service totally private swimming pools, a large Jacuzzi, lots of parking and much more.

The place had amazing views. The staff was very nice. The number of bedrooms/ bathrooms was very misleading. I would not recommend that an adult sleep on a pull out couch.

Beautiful home overlooking Playa Hermosa: IMPORTANT to read all of the reviews before booking!
Sam and his wife and that staff that care for the home are delightful and made us feel very welcomed. (Marvin and Sonia just did a great job of quietly working around the home). They went out of their way to accommodate our needs. They had beautiful flowers for us, Christmas decorations and other wonderfully welcoming touches to the house. The home itself is quite beautiful and the view from the upper deck over the bay is beautiful-its about a 5-minute drive to the beach. There are 2 grills and Marvin moved them so they were both on the same level. It's important to realize that while the VRBO homepage indicates that the home will sleep 18 with 7 rooms, the building itself has 4 separate units--1 is a separate apartment which sleeps a couple. 2 are on the bottom of 3 floors and I think sleep 2 each. The owners stayed in one of them while we were there. When I booked, I didn't realize this arrangement and ended up not having enough rooms for our party. When you book, make sure you say how many bedrooms and beds you need. There is a master with a bath on the middle floor; 2 other bedrooms and pull out bed (not comfortable but you can ask for the blow-up mattress and put it under the bed mattress) on that floor that share a bathroom. There is a room on entry level with bunk beds: mattress on bottom bunk not comfortable. The last "sleep space" is a pull out bed on the main floor. Realize that the total sleep space for 18 includes these 2 pull out sofa spaces that are not private. A couple of other issues: while the showers were nice and had hot water, none of the sinks had hot water. There is no dishwasher. The outdoor shower doesn't work (but there is a hose). Kitchen has a lot of dishes and utensils. It would be great to have deep sided bowls and to replace some of the pots and pans whose no-stick surfaces have begun to peel. The last sentence, of course, is common with rentals but with a lot of cooking with large numbers that would be great. For a rental that sleeps up to 18, there isn't a place to gather and sit around and talk easily. There are 2 tables (one inside and one on porch) which seat about 6 each. Having said all this, we had a great time, we made it work. Just be flexible if you rent this property--its in a wonderful place and feels like you're in the trees.

Excellent Vacation Home
We stayed at Villa Camilla and had a fantastic vacation. We had a total of 4 families (8 adults and 9 kids) and rented the main house and the studio. The kids used the pull out couches and the bedrooms (including the studio) accommodated all adult couples perfectly. Sam arranged for transportation from the airport which was appreciated, and when we arrived at the house, Sam and Sixto (on-site groundskeeper/staff) were there to welcome us. They gave us a tour of the house and made sure we understood all the ins and outs of the property. As questions came up during our stay, Sam and Sixto were quick to respond and were very helpful. The view is amazing. The house sits on a steep hill and provides views of the ocean. The driveway is steep but we managed with 2 rental cars, one was even a manual! The walk to the beach is about 10-15 minutes and not a bad walk. All kids did the walk several times without too much complaining. There is a market that is also about a 10-15 minute walk, it is small but had everything we needed. There were several dining options along the beach that accommodated all 17 of us and had good food. The two pools at the house were on the smaller side but none of our kids complained. They were up and in the pool at 6:30am some mornings because they couldn't wait to swim! I have to say, Sixto and his wife Pastora were invaluable. Sixto would check in with us daily and made sure the grounds were safe and clean. Pastora did our dishes and laundered towels along with a few personal items, daily! We didn't ever feel like we needed a dishwasher or washing machine because the staff took care of it. Pastora even made a delicious dinner for us (for a very reasonable extra fee). They also have a very cute little boy that was fun to have around :) Overall, this property was perfect for our needs. Sam, Sixto and Pastora went our of their way to make us feel welcome and safe.

A truly awesome experience from a breathtaking viewpoint and beautiful surroundings. Just awesome!!
There were 13 of us at some point and Villa Camelia was very accommodating. The home was very nice and filled with warmth and welcome. Sam, the owner, bent over backwards to ensure our vacation was a pleasant experience. His staff, who didn't speak any English, did understand the true meaning of customer service. They were at our beckoned call, no matter the time of day or night. We felt we got our money's worth as we enjoyed the pools, home cooking, closeness of the beach, shopping and restaurants, and all the fun we all had together. We are going through withdrawals right now because our visit to Costa Rica was the most!!!! Sam even referred us to his neighbor, Renee, who was essentially our driver for running around to close venues. He would make multiple trips to safely and quickly get us to our nearby destination and at great rates!!👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 We had a couple of challenges with water shortages in the subdivision but we lived through it until we figured it all out!! The vacation was a huge success and EVERYBODY had an absolute ball. I do recommend Sam makes it clear in his home description that the house has 3 separate entrances and they are all priced separately. Even with this misunderstanding, he was the most accommodating. He promised our vacation would be great and he delivered! Thank you to Sam and his staff and his neighbor. You guys all Rock!!!!! #highlyrecommended

About the host

After retiring from my lucrative construction business in Toronto Canada I became restless what came to mind was to build a home away from home for my family and friends.
How it all started was, my wife and I we were on 10 days vacation here in Costa Rica it was love at the first site we felt so relaxed more important the peoples here are so welcoming as they say Pura Vida (pure life)
In short, we decided to buy a lot on the hillside of Playa Hermosa it took 14 months from start to finish our new home away from home Villa Camellia after my wife name .
We love everything about this wonderful country of Central America where we call it home for 4 to 5 month of the year ( we would like to stay much longer ( but we both mis our grandchildren) for the rest of the time we also want our guests to experiencing the wonderful mountain and ocean view and all that Villa Camellia has to offer.
