Cottage holiday rentals in Costa Rica

Andrea was an exceptional host, very helpful and responsive. The place was more beautiful than the photos and the attention to detail inside was very nice. I highly recommend a stay here for a very peaceful, restful, and for the amazing views and experience.

My friend and I really appreciated Ana Maria's hospitality and her family's gorgeous home. We loved the special personal touches including the jungle of house plants and well-stocked library with board games and books. Having the fireplace stocked with wood made it possible to have the perfect ambiance for reading in front of the fire on a misty afternoon! We found it helpful to have earplugs at night, as the home is close to a transit road, and earplugs did the trick to help us sleep soundly.

Honestly the best AIRBNB I've ever stayed at. It was incredible. The morning view over the pool to the comfortable amenities in the house... everything was perfect. The pictures don't do this home justice. Although it's a little secluded from the big city, I personally enjoyed the privacy of it. It's about 45 mins from this place to La Fortuna. Carlos was very responsive and helpful through the whole process. I'll definitely have this spot pinned for the future.

We absolutely loved this place. It is well maintained and has everything you need. It feels like home. The woodwork in the house is so beautiful. The property is gorgeous and has trails to explore. Carolina and Manuel arranged to get some specially requested food for our stay. They had the food there for our arrival which was so helpful. Manuel took us on an awesome night hike. Carolina’s husband also gave us a tour of the property too. Carolina and her family really go out of their way to make this a welcoming place. They grow amazing coffee on the property which we really enjoyed. They also shared their garden veggies and the bananas. We stayed 4 days and wished we had stayed longer. We found it easy to go into Monteverde for activities like coffee tours, cloud forest, animal sanctuary el Tigre waterfall, etc. There are some great restaurants close by the house and of course in monteverde too. We enjoyed ordering homemade empanadas from cafe Horizonte for breakfast.

Si buscan un lugar tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza, donde puedan relajarse, ver aves y desconectarse del bullicio, este es el sitio ideal. La comodidad del hospedaje es increíble, con todos los detalles bien pensados para que la estadía sea placentera. ¡Recomendadísimo para los amantes de la paz, la naturaleza y el confort!

Great stay 15mins drive from La Fortuna. The balcony overlooking the plantation was just spectacular. The room was cozy, as described and Grace made amazing breakfast each morning. Highly recommended!

We stayed for two weeks and felt sad to leave. Yuliana and her parents were great hosts, always responsive and helpful, recommending places to eat and visit and the occasional gift. Throw into that their dogs who asked for little more than a belly rub for their friendship. The cottage itself was as described. Large screened windows kept the place aired and let the sounds of nature flood in. The lack of aircon meant it was often hot especially upstairs and in the afternoon but what you get in return is a deeper connection to your surroundings. This included visits from capuchin and howler monkeys, birds, bats, toads and countless butterflies, and a diverse range of insects. The screens are pretty good at keeping the latter outside, and you can close the windows. Wi-Fi is decent and other amenities as described. With the heat we didn’t cook much but the option was there. We’d 100% return for the hospitality, the closeness to nature and the dogs.

Muy amables, atentos y respondían rápido y el tour a caballo chiva una excelente experiencia!!! Muchas gracias

The little blue house is exactly what one needs. Has a working kitchen, quiet, and best of all the beach is right there. It was nice to have a peaceful place to return to after busy excursions into the cities or whatever else. Felt like a home away from home. Would definitely visit again

My daughter and her boyfriend were there for a bike ride ride. The location was perfect for proximity to the ride and a great environment to relax following a strenuous day! There was a slight mix up with rooms, but it was quickly resolved for everyone. And, my daughter loved the replacement digs (pets included!) Kees is extremely easy to communicate with and very responsive. We highly recommend him and his accommodations.

Great place to stay with easy walkable access to a lovely beach. Comfortable and lovely surroundings. Very friendly communicative host and very responsive. Close by to all restaurants, shops etc.

Once you find the place it’s easy to get to it again. Since addresses are a bit not a thing here it is frustrating but the host was helpful and make sure you use Waze

Muy buena relación calidad precio, lo único que tengo para decir que andaba mal el wifi, el resto todo excelente. Super recomiendo!

Der Aufenthalt bei Jaim war traumhaft. so viel Ruhe und solch eine sichere Anlage. man konnte perfekt schlafen. Die Küche ist ebenso mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich nur vorstellen kann. Die Kommunikation war ideal, wir haben auch viel Hilfe bekommen eine Tour in der Nähe zu buchen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. 10/10!

Nos encantó! Tal cuál se indica en la fotografías, muy organizado, limpio! Las zonas verdes con excelente mantenimiento! Disfrutamos mucho el espacio para desconectarnos!

Entorno muy amplio, tranquilo y privado, con mucha naturaleza y espacio para caminar. Excelente para grupos grandes. La piscina está impecable con un rancho cómodo y muy aprovechable. Muy bien equipada y con todo lo requerido para cocinar. Anfitriona muy amable, atenta a las consultas y flexible en nuestra salida que fue un punto de gran valía, igual que el señor que cuida que es muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar. Aspectos por mejorar: los ventiladores no son suficientes y en grupos grandes es un aspecto muy relvante (valorar colocar más o A/C), debe arreglarse el equipo para utilizar apropiadamente las pantallas. Fue nuestra segunda experiencia en el lugar y ha sido muy satisfactoria.

beautiful property!! beautiful and comfortable home!! amazing gem of a spot in the jungle. far enough away but still reasonably accessible. will be our number 1 spot when we return to Costa Rica. host and family were extremely nice and hospitable. would have liked to stay a few more weeks

I stayed at Villa#2 for four weeks both as a solo traveller and with family joining later. The villa is private, yet conveniently located close to restaurants and local attractions. It contained all amenities, including clean, comfortable beds, modern appliances and regular housekeeping services. I felt very safe at all times. Carlos was responsive and available when needed. I would highly recommend Carlo’s villa.

El alojamiento de Aurora fue mejor de lo que esperaba, un lugar que se entregó muy limpio. Se agradece el detalle de tener café y té para poder preparar por la mañana. Sin duda alguna, excelente lugar por el precio.

David's place was very spacious and private. There were some reviews talking about no hot water for the showers, but we did not have any issues with that. It's located up an unpaved road that gets pretty steep. We had an SUV that was not a 4WD and we were able to get up there just fine. It gets pretty windy since it is high up on the hill, so we heard the wood of the place creaking every now and then. Nothing to be alarmed about, just FYI. It's a very quiet location. Inside was pretty clean with a few house flies which is understandable with the house located up the mountain. There are hiking trails right outside the house if you want to wander around. There were no paper towels in the kitchen, so we just left a towel from the bathroom in the kitchen to use. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and I would recommend it to others.

Wir haben uns von Anfang an total wohl und wie Zuhause gefühlt. Arabellas Holzhaus auf Stelzen ist wirklich wunderschön, stilvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet - ein Traum! Dazu die herrliche Veranda mit Schaukelstühlen, wo wir jeden Tag viele Stunden verbracht und genossen haben, da man dort diverse Vögel und andere Tiere beobachten konnte. Wir sahen u.a. viele Tukane, Iguanas und sogar einmal auch ein Faultier mit Baby! Diesen Anblick werden wir nie vergessen. Auch mit unserer Ansprechpartnerin vor Ort, der lieben Nachbarin Chana, haben wir uns prächtig verstanden und sie war immer schnell erreichbar. Alles in allem hatten wir wunderschöne und unvergessliche 10 Tage in Arabellas Wohlfühloase! Wir können dieses Haus jedem ans Herz legen, der Natur, Ruhe und Tiere liebt, gleichzeitig aber auch gerne fußläufig in Strand- und Ortsnähe wohnt.

Wir waren als Paar in der Unterkunft von David. Es ist ein sehr privates Gelände mit zwei separaten Häusern. Ein Auto sollte definitiv vorhanden sein. Der Blick durch die Glasfassade oder auch vom Balkon aus auf den Vulkan sind faszinierend. Der Balkon ist sehr einladend, um ein kühles Getränk zu genießen oder Yoga zu machen - tolle Kulisse! In der Umgebung gibt es auch Restaurants, wobei ich hier empfehlen würde nach La Fortuna zu fahren (ca 20-30mim Fahrtzeit). Die Kommunikation mit David war einwandfrei, schnell und freundlich. Mögliche Aktivitäten für aktive Personen in einem Umgebung von ca 60km: Hanging Bridges, Cavernas de Venado, Rio Celeste, Mirador El Silencio.

We absolutely loved our stay with Diane! The property is stunning in a perfect location, we saw so many animals roaming around the property and it felt like we were right in the jungle. It's also walking distance to the beach and some restaurants. The cabins are more stunning and spacious in person, so clean and well maintained and it was such a dreamy stay. You fall asleep and wake up with the sounds of the jungle and the ocean, it was the best place we stayed in in Costa Rica and most authentic, best sleep of my life and can't recommend it enough!! Diane was an amazing attentive host, so sweet and friendly, always willing to help and giving us local tips. Would come back in a heartbeat, this place is fantastic :)

We had an exceptional stay at Douglas and Gaby's cottage. They were helpful, responsive, and went above and beyond their responsibilities as hosts, even offering us a ride into town or to the airport if needed, which was awesome of them to offer. After booking, we noticed another review mentioning bugs, and we wanted to make a note that we did not have any issues on this front at all. The property is in a rural area, and honestly we dealt with far less than we were expecting on the bug front. We would absolutely stay with them again!
