About this property

The Full Moon, located at Playa Hermosa (beautiful beach), is on the quieter north end of Santa Teresa. Full Moon was custom built in 2010 as our get-away - now we find we are not there as often as we would like, so we will share with you! Located at north end of Santa Teresa in a quieter area. Full Moon is perfect for 4 adults or a (limited to) small family of 5. Both bedrooms are furnished with a queen bed (and one with a single bed as well),and they both have their own garden bathroom. (See our 1 bedroom Half Moon #989649, which is on our property for additional accommodations) Complete comforts of home, but is not your home - it is your Latin American getaway! The large living room is open concept with a large very well equipped kitchen - check out the massive bar! A dining table seats 6-8, with its built-in banquet, so you can invite friends you met on the beach for dinner. Comfortably furnished for a truly laid back Latin American experience. There is air-conditioning in every room and ceiling fans, the kitchen is fully equipped - refrigerator, range/oven, microwave, etc. I love our huge teak deck to take in the sultry air and snooze, read or watch for monkeys, parrots, hummingbirds, iguanas, etc. Beautiful split bamboo lines every ceiling in the home. No alarms necessary! The howler monkeys visit, sometimes twice a day! They troop along the treetops and graze on leaves and flowers of the trees of the property. You can call in for chef services, massages, private yoga or Pilates instructions, arrange surf lessons, go horseback riding at a nearby Eco farm, take a drive and discover why we built in this beautiful area of Costa Rica. Our area was featured in the New York Times Style Magazine - Travel in May 2016.

Fantastically located opposite a great cafe and a short walk from the beach.

The house was perfectly furnished with everything we needed. We loved the location, a little way from Santa Teresa. And the beach was heavenly. We would loved to return, and definitely recommend it.

Great location!

We had the best stay at the Full Moon! The house was comfortable and well-appointed with indoor and outdoor areas to relax. The outdoor showers were lovely! The best part of our stay, though, was the location - away from the bustle of Santa Teresa, and a short walk to the beach. We were able to rent surf boards and get lessons right across the street and then come back later for lunch at the Cafe. It was an excellent week of surfing at Playa Hermosa! For dinner out, we highly recommend Atardecer Dorado in Manzanillo. The food is great and they have the best ocean views of any restaurant we went to.

Great location!

The Full Moon is a very clean and spacious property in a great location. It is a very close walk to a beautiful swimming and surfing beach where you can walk for miles in both directions. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Amazing property 2 minutes walk to the beach.

Full moon is a wonderful space with every possible kitchen amenity, great showers and bathrooms, air conditioning in all the rooms what you really need here in Costa Rica, directly across the street from a cafe that is pretty good that serves breakfast and lunch. The property is spacious and clean and well stocked with everything you would probably want almost as good as a luxury hotel. I sat on the deck and watched an iguana camouflaged in a branch watching me. For the most part the property is quiet. It is located on the beach access road behind a private gate. The property manager or concierge is named is Kristi. She went out of her way to help with any requests that I had. Including dropping me off downtown to rent a bike. She is very friendly and speaks English well. She did everything she could to make my stay comfortable and she responded very quickly to any questions I had. The villa does not have any views of the ocean but you can hear it with the doors open. Also in case you're looking for a smaller place Denise the owner also rents another studio with bathroom and fully stocked kitchen on the same property for a little bit less money. This is also a very cute place. And by the way, the internet works great. Anyway it's a wonderful property and I strongly recommend it.

We can't wait to come back

What a perfect house for a costa rica get away. The location, within a short walking distance of the beach, but very private and across the street from our favorite breakfast and lunch spot, the house is beautiful with great outdoor showers and roomy living areas. Definately would recommend

About the host

Hosted by Denise Graham

I grew up on Long Island, New York and spent my summers at the beach. Will's father was in the Navy so his life has always been around water. In Virginia Beach when he was around 13 he started surfing and found his passion. When we are not in Costa Rica we live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in Southern Shores. We live on a canal for kayaking and boating and moments from the Atlantic for Will's surfing, close to Duck, Corolla , Nags Head and an hour from Hatteras. We have been in the Property Management and Real Estate business for 25 years here founded 2 fantastic companies Corolla Classic Vacations (subsequently selling it in '08) & Corolla Real Estate. We know the importance of maintaining and upgrading. Our hearts are always in the arena of taking care of people and houses on the beach and providing the best vacations.

Why they chose this property

We first vacationed in Santa Teresa in 2004 and found a place we kept wanting to return to. In 2006 we purchased property on the Ocean in Manzanillo. Then we purchased this piece in 2007 and after careful consideration and collaborations we built Full Moon and Half Moon. We love the location because we can walk to the beautiful beach. We chose this area because it still holds a relatively rugged feel with its dirt roads and low level development. People from all over the world live and vacation here. Because the area attracts surfers along with health conscience individuals it is forefront with Yoga Retreats, Spas, and emerging trends for your body and soul. You will find it to be a very youthful and entrepreneurial area. Wonderful restaurants or chef services provide the best and freshest foods for ultimate dining. Our area was featured in the New York Times Style Magazine - Travel May 2016.

What makes this property unique

Full Moon is understated, but I believe it is also beautiful! Those bamboo ceilings are a constant reminder that you are in the tropics. Lounging on the huge teak deck you are almost always protected from the sun with its massive overhang. Seeing the monkeys in the trees from your shower - awesome! We always meet someone new while we are here as everyone goes to the beach to watch the sunset before dinner.
