Dreams At Sea

Aaron & JenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our family really enjoyed this home - especially seeing the monkeys, having great swings for our daughter to play on, and an amazing rooftop view!! When the pool pump was not working properly, Rafal was there very quickly to fix the timer and was very personable. When in this area, we would definitely stay here again.

Casa Doña Luisa, Beachfront & Surf Secret Spot

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Casa Dona Luisa is a beautiful gem with a semiprivate beach out its front door. It's located just far enough outside of Santa Teresa to be quiet but still centrally located to all the great activities. Maykol was a wealth of knowledge and beyond helpful in assisting always with any vacation questions we had. I'd stay here again if we make it back to the Nicoya Peninsula.

Montezuma ocean view, Wildlife, Eco

TomRating, 5 stars3 months ago
As everyone says it's hard to describe. If you are looking for a convenient, sterile, cookie cutter hotel, this may not be for you. But if you want to emerse yourself in nature and environment, this is a total paradise. Joachim went above and beyond to attend to our needs

KristenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Luxury 4BR Beach Villa with Pool, Top 1% of Airbnb

MoniqueRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Ramona is the most outstanding host I have ever encountered while using Airbnb. This trip was to celebrate a birthday and our stay was nothing short of perfect. Ramona was so responsive and checked in on us via chat throughout the stay to ensure we had a very smooth stay. Her home is just breathtaking and her assistance with getting my itinerary together which included a private chef, transportation, and excursions in such a short timeframe, I was speechless!! I cannot stop telling my friends about my experience and am already planning a trip back in 2026! Thank you so much for the unforgettable experience Ramona!

#1 ARBNB Private Beach/ Pool + 7 local beaches!

DinahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay at Christy's villa. The communication was great from beginning to end. She had some great recommendations on what to do and people we could use for tours. The villa was clean, it had a lovely pool, good internet connection, and has everything you need if you are cooking your own meals. The neighborhood grocery store was a little pricey, but convenient and had a great selection of items. The villa is in a gated community and felt very safe. The restaurant on site has good food and it's fun. I would recommend staying here!

Villa #4 Santa Teresa Steps to the beach

ChrisRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful stay at Villas Santa Teresa. Tomas, Alan, Joanna and Javier were always very helpful with anything we needed. Javier helped with our flat tire which was very much appreciated! They made reservations at a beautiful restaurant for us to celebrate a milestone birthday, which was an amazing evening:) Its a perfect peaceful location, a little outside of town but close enough to everything we needed. A 2 minute walk to the most beautiful beach, where we spent hours walking and exploring. A 10 minute drive to town to get groceries. We had an SUV which worked for us but an ATV/motorbike would have possibly been better. The villa was so clean and comfortable, had everything we needed and the hammocks were magical!

We had a great stay at Dreams on Wheels! Location was super close to the beach and walkable to all Santa Teresa hotspots. We felt right at home and Davide is a great host: he shared loads of tips and was very responsive when we had to leave early because of a personal emergency. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Tropical Garden Bungalow #2/Pachamama Lodge

GustafRating, 5 stars10 months ago
Overall, we had a great stay at Pachamama! The property and surroundings are amazing, and the bungalow has just (but only just) the things you need to stay here for a longer period. An important note is that the WiFi is terrible and the place is not at all suited for remote work. Also, the lookout which looks so amazing on the photos is abandoned. The place is still wonderful though, and even though they had some troubles with maintaining some of the conveniences promised, we fully enjoyed being here and recommend it to others!

The place is charming, it has everything, a pleasant homely atmosphere. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bathroom and shower are pleasant. The location is really central but quiet and close to the beach and restaurants and shops. The hostess was amazing and helped us with everything we needed immediately and happily. We had a great time! Recommend 😊
