Two Homes, Endless Possibilities — in the Heart of Playa Hermosa

Casa Carola is a rare find: two separate homes sharing one lush, jungle-wrapped property in the Eco Vital community of Playa Hermosa. Live in one and rent the other, keep both as income, or spread out with family — the flexibility is yours.

The main house is full of warmth and character: rich hardwood floors, soaring vaulted wood ceilings, an air-conditioned interior, and a wraparound porch that opens onto the surrounding greenery — the kind of indoor-outdoor living Costa Rica is known for. A short walk across the grounds sits a bright, cheerful guest cabin with its own kitchen and bath, ideal as a rental or a private space for visitors.

With forested mountains behind the property and open pasture across the field, monkeys and other wildlife pass through regularly — this is genuine, immersive Costa Rican living. Eco Vital is a relaxed, un-gated neighborhood of friendly, caring neighbors; if you're dreaming of a laid-back community where you actually know the people around you, this is it.

And the location is hard to beat. Playa Hermosa — one of Costa Rica's most celebrated surf beaches, set within a protected sea-turtle wildlife refuge — is just three minutes away by car (about a 22-minute walk). You get world-class waves, unspoiled nature, and family-run restaurants, all while Jacó's full range of shops, services, and amenities is minutes up the road.
