Welcome to the Jungle Surf Haven!

The house is new and has been designed and furnished with your comfort in mind. There are 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king. The second bedroom has a queen. The third bedroom, nicknamed the Surf Room has a triple bunk and a fourth twin bed. The house sleeps 8 comfortably. It is located in the Costa Rican jungle 2.5 km (1.5 miles) from the beach. It is designed for those who want the real Costa Rican experience while still able to jump into the surf in 5 minutes. Its central location in Costa Rica makes it an ideal spot to explore the rest of the country. The furniture is all hand crafted native black ash. Art work is from local artists. The house is block construction to avoid the termites but the roof is solid native teak. All the cabinets and windows are hand made from solid teak by local craftsman. The home includes Western comforts including air conditioning, telephone, television, DVD player, gourmet BBQ, washer & dryer, swimming pool, and garage. There are 11 ceiling fans to keep you comfortable as well. Your very own private resort!

So all you Surf Babes and Ho-Daddy's. If it's not the Pura Vida or the "Ticos" that gets you stoked, then it is probably the always 80 degree weather or perhaps the 84 degree water. No? Maybe the consistent head high surf? We think the Jungle Surf Haven is the best deal in Costa Rica. Playa Hermosa is five miles South of the town of Jaco. Jaco has a bunch of stuff to do if you like the city but Hermosa has the waves. It has been voted the second most consistent break in the world! For those who get tired of surfing, Playa Hermosa is perfect for spending the day lounging in the sun with a good book, as not as many tourists flock there. If you prefer, you could take a day trip to Costa Rica’s most famous national park, Manuel Antonio, which is about 45 minutes away or you could visit the Playa Hermosa Wildlife Refuge, which protects the Olive Ridley sea turtles that come to nest here every year.An important point that you need to be aware of is the fact that there are two beaches named Playa Hermosa in Costa Rica. The one we are going to is located in the province of Puntarenas, while the other Playa Hermosa lies North in Guanacaste. The Playa Hermosa that is in Puntarenas is situated just five kilometers south of Jaco, and is one of the best surfing havens in the country. While Jaco offers waves for both beginners and experienced surfers to enjoy, Playa Hermosa is an expert surfer’s beach with powerful large waves. With world class waves, Playa Hermosa holds the International Quicksilver Surf Championships every year in August that literally brings hundreds of expert surfers here from all over the globe. The best time to surf in Playa Hermosa is from April to November, when the tide is low and rising. One of the most well known breaks on the beach is located in front of a large almond tree known as "El Almendro". It got a bit crowded at times with up to five guys on the peak.
