Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Ballena Bay

Axel’s Samara home is nothing short of amazing! After a super long day of travel I was speechless walking through the door - it is even better than the pictures. This property is a great way to experience a smaller coastal Costa Rica town while still feeling like you are living in luxury. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

We had such a lovely time staying at Casa De Celeste. The property was absolutely gorgeous and in close proximity to town and adventures. It was the perfect getaway before our wedding. The caretaker Vincente was so kind and very helpful. He truly made the place feel like home. We will return and are looking forward to that day. I highly recommend this property.

Barbara and John were literally the kindest people in Costa Rica you could stay with. Our toddler, the biggest food critic of them all loved every food recommendation we received. He danced to the music in restaurants and was welcomed with love by locals. The home is so private, relaxing, beautifully decorated, everyone in our family felt at home here. We cooked in the kitchen and found it fully equipped and easy to cook for a group. We loved watching monkeys swaying on neighboring trees and birds singing each morning near the large deck. We slept so peacefully in their comfortable large beds every night and the space was quite large so our kiddo got to get his wiggles out. Their pool was the perfect temperature everyday and large enough you could do laps. John provided such a throughout and very legit surf lesson. Overall we LOVED this home and it was well worth the journey into this cool little surf town. - Christina

Eloide is such a wonderful host. She was there to greet us and made sure we had everything we needed. The unit was just perfect for us., very comfortable and a peaceful location. We loved the beautiful jungle surroundings and enjoyed a swim in the pool. This was a great find and we will be back again! Thank you for having us, Eloide.

Great house and stay, very private and secure. I went using my RAV4 SUV and had the problems getting the car up in the hill since it was raining a lot. There’s parking in the entrance and we decided to walk up to avoid any issues with the car. I highly recommend using a 4X4 to get to the property. There’s cleaning service everyday which makes it a plus to me!

This house is very beautiful and immaculate in all its areas, and it surpassed any expectations my husband and I had. The view of the ocean was impressive during the day. We loved watching the fog roll in from the ocean and cover the gorgeous hills in the evenings. We found daytime/ night time air temperatures in this location to be cooler than a similar rental we had in the hills of Manual Antonio on the previous days. The grounds and landscaping were extremely well maintained and just gorgeous. The pool was crystal clean, large, and enjoyable. Initially we were concerned about the drive up the hill, but we found the private dirt road leading to the house to be one of the easiest and best maintained roads we had ever experienced in the hills in CR. We felt extremely safe and peaceful during our stay and took many walks outside. As for Stan and Kaileigh, we had the good fortune of meeting them in person. They are two of the most caring and responsive hosts one could ever want to have.

I am a traveler with my family looking to build lifetime memories in Costa Rica. Jose and his mother were also there available for some excellent recommendations. From where to get seafood, the best kept secret hot water springs that the locals visit, to the most scenic ATV tours and how to get a massage on their gorgeous patio by the pool. What Jose and his family have built over generations exudes pride, beauty and tranquility. We have experienced good to very bad Air Bnb experiences over the years. There is always the voice in the back of my head, "I hope the home is as nice as it is described by the description and photos. "I can tell you first hand that it exceeded our expectations. It is clear that they take pride in making everyone's stay memorable. Final note, Jerry (the private chef) and his wife are the most down to earth couple. If you want to experience Costa Rica on a next level, one bite of their creations will take you there!

Incredible views, beautiful pool, private and quiet - 10/10 experience

Great studio room located in Marvista. Very close to Flamingo beach. Trails right out your back door and a gym that's only a 4 min walk away. Room had everything we needed for my husband and I. Colleen is a very responsive host and made everything very easy. Would stay again.

We loved Nick's place! It was my husband and I's first time visiting Costa Rica and this place exceeded our expections. everything was in walking distance. beautiful beach right outside the doorsteps. listing just as described and so peaceful. very thankful we got to experience this place. we will definitely be back.

Such a gorgeous little spot in the heart of Guiones. Super close to the beach, restaurants and shops, but still tranquil! Check-in was so easy and clear, the communication was immediate, and though I am familiar with Nosara, the host offered a lot of information on the area and resources for potential needs (tours, transport etc.). The place was beautiful, loved the open-air kitchen - fully stocked with all of the appliances and kitchenware one might need. The room and bathroom were immaculate, beautifully designed - loved the bay window day bed! Overall had a wonderful stay, and would absolutely stay here again.

What an absolutely incredible experience staying at Nathalie’s Airbnb! Waking up in the morning to the sound of jungle with the cicadas, birds chirping, and howler monkeys + the most stunning view of the jungle was unreal! I also loved swimming in the pool as the squirrel monkeys iguanas and birds hang around it was SO cool- It was one of my favorite memories from our trip to Costa Rica! It was by far my favorite place we stayed and I really appreciated the in-depth detail of instructions she laid out for us! Also there was the CUTEST dog that hung out with us at the pool all day and we will miss him so much! We truly felt at home and loved the location to town as well :)

No words can quite describe the magical experience of staying in this beautifully crafted treehouse. The view is incredible, but it is the tasteful and rustic personal touches that make the space feel so cozy and inviting. Peter was a welcoming, responsive, and kind host, and all of the love and craftsmanship with which he and his family have created their homestead is evident in every corner of this spectacular place. From waking up and watching the sunrise over the ocean from our crows nest bed, to taking a warm outdoor shower at twilight in the rain, to stargazing at night while lightning storms danced on the horizon, each moment was better than the next. The casita was equipped with everything one could need, and we were very comfortable with the fan at night. Thank you again Peter and Santiago for everything.

Great AC, 2 ample bathrooms, nice space. Towels could use replacement. The bed, bedding and sofa could use some upgrades, as they are not the most comfortable. Lovely balcony area, and lots of security measures made us feel safe.

This place is perfect location, steps from the beach and walking distance to most of the shops, food and light life! The bed was comfortable and it was quiet. They did my laundry for $5 and left it folded, outside of my room the same day. The bathroom was a little small but I didn´t mind. The water was hot. Would no doubt stay here again in Jacó.

I would book this place again, it was a great place to stay.

Awesome place and great host

This condo is as pictured. Breath-taking views of the ocean. The two bedrooms are spacious, and it was a huge benefit that both bedrooms had their own private bathroom. The washer and dryer were an added bonus- and allowed us to pack light and do laundry while on the trip!! The host was excellent, providing helpful tips for the area to ensure we not only had a great time, but that we were safe. They recommended an excellent tour-guide of sorts who provided safe and dependable transportation from/to San Jose airport. They also took us on a tour to Manuel Antonio National Park. Fees were very reasonable. The pool in this facility was excellent, clean and well appointed deck with nice lounge chairs. There was a nice clean bathroom near the pool and a security guard always on duty. From a safety perspective, we really appreciated the gated facility and that there were staff/guards there 24/7. The neighborhood itself, we felt very safe walking around, never had an issue.

Mr. Rill was an exceptional host. W thoroughly enjoyed our stay at PB#11. Thanks for everything! Kristin & Travis

Perfect spot n Jaco. Nice condo, great pool and very quiet. The location is nice in regard to the Jaco strip. Stephanie is amazing and super helpful.

Great experience for our first time in Costa Rica!! Can’t wait to go back!! The pictures don’t even do the condo justice. It’s amazing and so convenient to town. Our guide in town, Chris, was unbelievable and had so many great suggestions. Pura Vida, Costa Rica!

Great location for exploring the city. The apartment is compact but well-equipped and clean. Perfect for a short stay!

5 stars – Wonderful stay! The place was spotless, easy to access, and exactly as described. The host was incredibly welcoming and made everything smooth from check-in to check-out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean and comfortable stay!

Incredible place! Really nice start to our Costa Rica trip. One of the nicer apartments in San Jose.
