Endless Sunset Tiki Paradise
Great location. About 30 minutes to the beach, 2 hr drive to the volcano. However it was closed due to it being active when we were there. Rescate Wildlife Rescue was a nice last minute add to our trip. Great place to see local wildlife.

“Villa Sanctuary”
Chris is the Man! For context, my girlfriend and I had another bnb in the area that lost power and water for 2 days! I had to book an emergency stay and Chris accommodated and responded swiftly even though it was very short notice. We fell more in love with his property than our original one lol. 10/10 stay loved the vibezz.

"Villa Blanca: Luxury Ocean View Retreat"
Our stay in Costa Rica was absolutely wonderful. The house was beautiful and perfectly located. We loved everything about it! The host was very friendly and accommodating. Waking up to the sound of birds every morning was incredible, and we saw scarlet macaws and iguanas daily. Overall, it was a perfect experience!

Seaside Haven Oceanview
This is truly an incredible place! Private pool, away from the business but close enough to enjoy epic beaches, restaurants and all the other things you want to do. I highly recommend staying here.

Stunning Ocean & Jungle View Guest House with Pool
Such an amazing stay all around. The place is absolutely stunning and the most beautiful view to wake up to in the morning. The host are so helpful and absolutely amazing. We went for my fiancés birthday and they helped decorate to surprise him! They also got us groceries before we arrived since we got in late. The location is an easy drive to everything around. The house is exactly as described, beautiful, clean, private, and fully equipped. They even had a book with recommendations for everything you could imagine. 1000/10 stay. 100% recommend!!! Also the AC works amazing :)

Casa Amistad - Tranquil Oasis with pool
I have stayed at Cassie’s place multiple times and there is a reason I keep coming back for extended stays. The house is amazing, the location is outstanding and the amenities are incredible. Her kitchen is super well outfitted with anything you could need and they poolside grill is perfect. I really couldn’t recommend this place or this host more highly.

Villa Cumulus 5 acres on Cloud Forest Coffee Farm
This Airbnb is absolutely magical. The views are stunning and Victoria is such a gracious host. She and her husband went out of their way to make me feel at home and make sure I was getting full use of the amenities. Everything was so comfortable and thoughtful. And their property has some of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen! Couldn’t recommend more!

Little gem with private pool & ocean/beach view!
Beautiful place with a great view. Tucked neatly on a sea side cliff with sound of calming waves to wake up to everyday. Great view, Great pool and patio with bbq options, Extra patio with views of the Pacific, Plenty of space and my kids loved the pool. Waves do get rough in the nearby beach so pool is a great alternative. You dont need go to a park to see wildlife when you have it all around you. I saw so many birds I have never seen in my life. Host is very responsive and friendly. Check in is easy. Beach is very clean. Not many cons to list to be honest but a couple things to be aware of - House is deep inside a community/club called Punta Leones and is far from the main road and also gated with security so no food delivery or taxis. - Beach is closeby but you have to walk down and uphill (pretty steep climb) and the club wont let you use their water if you need a shower after beach. Staff there is pretty annoying and chase you arnd to make sure you arent using their water.

Casa Tucán
We stayed at Gilberto’s beautiful house for a week, and would absolutely do it again. He was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of our questions, both before booking and while we were at the house. It was quite a stress free experience, he stayed on top of everything for us. The house itself took us by surprise, photos don’t do it justice, seriously. The first time we walked in we just dropped our bags at the door and ran around exploring, it’s probably the most homely Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. The view is incredible, the pool is super relaxing, the little geckos running around are adorable, and there were always bigger lizards sharing the patio with us. It was easy to find and is close enough to the main road that going out for a treat or to the beach isn’t a big hassle but also far enough away from the hustle and bustle of things to be extremely cozy. We had the honor of meeting Gilberto and his wife and they were absolutely lovely. 10/10 would stay here again

Villa Sueños
Excellent quiet and very pretty place, around nature

Gorgeous Home. Private Pool. Close to Beach.
The house is wonderful, and the pool is a nice place to cool off during the afternoon. The hosts are very responsive and keep the house in great condition. The town is less touristy but we found it very friendly with great restuarants, beaches, and excellent sufing conditions. Would not hesitate to recommend this place for anyone traveling to Costa Rica.

Casa Turrú, an oasis of calm
My family and I enjoyed the place very much! It is insanely beautiful, house decor is so unique and very comfortable and friendly people! The only one thing I would say is that in the House photos looks like there’s rooms outside however those are extra cabins in the same property(reserved separately) This home is only 3 Bedrooms, each bedroom has a bathroom which is so nice!

Villa Puma, The Ecovilla
From the first time meeting Mira & Michaela (the owners) we could feel how much they truly care about their guests and their surroundings. A beautiful touch was having the lovely staff deliver breakfast to us that is made by the owners. Each morning we got to sample something different and all of it was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented; this was. a real treat for us and so helpful especially for a shorter stay. We loved waking us to the sounds of the jungle. The grounds were being shaped and groomed while we were there and visually this place is very special. Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality and genuine care.

Tropical House
We loved Pablo's place, especially the beautiful plants inside and out. We loved the area and found 2 great restaurants in the short time we had to spend there. The bed was super comfy. It was a perfect place to stay the night before catching our flight the next day. We'll definitely stay here again when we come back!

Casa Usure – Huetar-Inspired Beachside Haven
We loved our stay at this home SO much. The team at Jaco Homes were incredibly helpful and helped make our trip a huge success. They had great restaurant recommendations, were very quick to message us back if we needed anything, and the home was spotless with stellar amenities. This was my first time in Costa Rica and their hospitality really made us feel right at home. We can't wait to return in the future! We highly recommend booking this home.... you won't regret it!

House of Light wi/SALT POOL 7 minute walk to beach
Where to start! This house was a dream!This was a fully equipped house not just spar let appointed; there was even a line up for teas, coffees… frother and more! The house was spotless and felt brand new. Karen has done an amazing job, we got to meet her as she was in town and was a huge help for local advice.We used Boca rica for our excursions and the trips we amazing. We did the bioluminescence tour and isla Tortuga snorkeling and it’s the way to go. I would highly recommend this house and hope to be back. Note- get Waze before navigating in Costa Rica.
Private house rentals

~Jungle Beach Hideaway~ Plumerias House
Amy’s place was perfect for us. The location was very nice and private, close to restaurants and close enough to many attractions. We loved the pool and enjoyed it as much as we could. Amy was very proactive, she gave us many good recommendations, checked in on us many times and overall was very friendly. We would definitely come back and stay there again.

House in Esterillos, with private pool
Amazing place!

Casa Areia
The house is beautiful,

La Buena Vida - Private Covered Jacuzzi
Enjoyed my stay! Was perfect for a great night sleep. Waking up to the beautiful garden and mountains was very nice. Raquel’s place is very accommodating and comfortable. Safe neighborhood and very peaceful. She was so thoughtful to bring fresh eggs from her chickens in the AM. Would for sure stay again!

Oceanview Villa 01 with Private Pool & Suite
We had such a peaceful and relaxing time. The rental is beautiful, it was beyond clean and the design made ir very relaxing. It had the most beautiful view of the ocean and mountains and a perfect pool area.

Beautiful home, great views, pool, near to airport
Beautiful, comfortable home with gorgeous pool and property.

Luxury Townhouse (8p max)-Pool & Fitness-Escazu
Excellent host, and one of the best equipped homes we have stayed in!! Very well decorated and sure made you feel the luxury component that this place offers. Directly around the corner from the unit is common area with conference rooms , gym, and an elegant lap pool backed by a forested setting! Highly recommended option!!

Lia Jungle House, Atenas
I cannot say enough about this place! If you are looking for a peaceful escape, this is the place. The pictures don’t do it justice. It is amazing and would not hesitate to book here again. I will absolutely miss mornings on the deck watching the sun come up and listening to the river trickle by. The hosts were great and really helped with recommendations. Seriously. Book this gorgeous place. Only note for folks considering this location - the two bedrooms are on the lower level with separate outside entryways. Was great for us but may not work for everyone.
