Ocean Dreams condo at Los Delfines Golf & Country Club
An excellent place, the house was beautiful, very spacious. Rolando is an excellent person, very attentive. I definitely recommend it for families and pets.

Two Bedroom Apartment
We had an amazing stay at Luis’s home. The apartment is part of a hotel so you get the benefit of a larger space, equipped with a fridge and stove, but the amenities of a hotel (lovely pool, reception for questions, fresh/cold water and ice). The breakfast included each morning was wonderful! And I can’t say enough about the location - you can see the ocean from the living room and it is walking distance to great restaurants and a beautiful beach. Would definitely stay again!

Nahele Lodge - Studio 2 - ideal for working remote
Really recommendable! We had an amazing time. We loved staying with Johanna because in addition to being super friendly, it showed a lot of tranquility and flexibility. The pool is free to use (without schedules or restrictions) which adds a lot of points, and the room is the same as the photos! We are definitely going back, thank you very much Johanna for making our stay feel like being at home!!!!

Down by the Sea beachfront Apartment
Our stay at this beautiful apartment exceeded our expectations! It was so peaceful and private and thoughtfully furnished with everything we needed. Most of our time was spent sitting in the shade at the edge of the beach, resting and enjoying the sea breezes. Our only disappointment was that we could not stay longer!

Swell boutique hotel suite 4
Had an excellent stay at Casa Swell. Marisa was very responsive and had a great list of recommendations. Enjoyed the size of the condo, the refreshing pool and short walk to the beach.

Studio next to the waves!
Great location and space,it feels very private.

Casa Coracali -Unique Beach Home
We were blown away by the house, the service and the location. When we walked in, there was an unexpected spread of fresh fruits and other amazing snacks. The entire week there were lovely people keeping the place clean, doing our laundry, cleaning up and taking care of the pool and yard (I didn't realize this all came with the place!). They were quiet, respectful and so nice. I bought fruit at the store to cut up and before I knew it, it was done for me! The location is perfect between Playa Hermosa and the town of Santa Teresa - 0.6 mile walk on the beach to a top surfing spot and just a mile to restaurants, followed by several more miles of restaurants and shopping. Not too far away are great activities such as zip lining, horse back riding, the Montezuma waterfalls and a boat trip to Tortuga Island among other great vacation outings. Very relaxing - the jungle and the beach all in one vacation!

Beachfront! Villa Juana, Santa Teresa.
We had the best time at Richards place, and loved the location being right next to Rocobar to grab a bite to eat. The beach is amazing, we would definitely book again.

Beachfront House in Santa Teresa with AC
Pia's place is probably my favorite AirBnb ever. It's a little beachside oasis right in the heart of Santa Teresa. Walk across the beautifully landscaped yard and onto the sand of one of the best beaches in Costa Rica. Iguanas, monkeys, butterflies and birds everywhere. A great hotel next door for good meals and pool time for kids. Pia is an exceptionally cool and kind and helpful host. And the house itself is awesome -- beautifully designed, well maintained, gorgeous. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Casa Layla ocean/jungle paradise w/fast internet
Had an amazing stay ! Location gives you a real feel of Costa Rica, she was not kidding when she said you need a 4X4 to access the property. Love the home, love the view, and love the easy communication with the host.

Los Cedros Garden House.
This house is an absolute gem 💎 Incredible quiet location. You are surrounded by nature and incredible trees. It felt like we were living with the monkeys. The architecture of the house is very modern. Very well equipped. We made good use of the binoculars to spot the monkeys, toucans iguanas and birds in the morning. The pool and its surroundings are stunning.. personally my favourite thing about the house. And so many pretty flowers everywhere! We were all very sad to leave but will definitely come back next year! Thank you for everything.

Luxury Getaway: Views and Jacuzzi in Santa Teresa
We stayed for 3 nights at this beautiful place and had a relaxing time. The pool, the jacuzzi and the big kitchen were our favorites. The best experience was the wildlife which surrounds the villa. We saw 2 different kinds of monkeys, toucans and many more animals which directly came to our backyard. We can highly recommend this place. Just make sure that you bring your own car, to get to the beach or nearby restaurants. We would definitely come back again!

Ocean front 3 bedroom house with a pool
What a great place Carlyn has. Completely private location just 30 seconds walk from the seafront. The house and gardens are beautiful and the pool is perfect for cooling off in the afternoon. The house is 2 min drive from the busier Santa Teresa and all the restaurants amenities you'll ever need. The housekeeper Ginny is super nice and helpful and was included in the price. I'd recommend this 100% to anyone. 5 stars!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Beach Condo at Playa Carmen
Absolutely loved my stay here! The location is perfect—everything is walkable. The beach and surf spot are just down the block, with great food options and a supermarket right across the street. The condo was clean, easy to cook in, and felt secure thanks to on-site security. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Ocean Views: Luxury Apartment @ Los Sueños (Dreams)

This place is amazing for little ones! Private, accesible and the host was super responsive! Would definitely come back

Punta Leona, view and private access to Playa Blanca
“Such an awesome place! It had everything we needed, especially while traveling with kids. The thoughtful touches—like complimentary refreshments, and fresh fruit—made us feel right at home. Jose helped us with our luggage. Very thoughtful!!! Highly recommended!”

Ocean View Punta Leona private access Playa Blanca
What a wonderful place to stay. Bernarda was so responsive and helpful. I hurt my knee I may last night and she brought over some pain relieving cream! Just a gem. The apartment was spotless with a bowl of delicious fresh fruit and champagne in the frig to help us celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary! Over all just a wonderful experience! The view of the water was lovely and we walked to the beach everyday! Loved our visit and our nature walks at the butterfly house and bird tour! Just amazing!! We can’t thank you enough for your hospitality
