Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Malpais

Viki y Santi fueron hosts extraordinarios, su amabilidad y su pronta ayuda en cualquier situación presentada, además el hospedaje cumplía con todas las expectativas, volvería en todas mis ocasiones de regreso!

Hermoso alojamiento, Fanny es súper atenta y amable. Es un poco complicado el camino para llegar pero vale la pena.

Maria and Martin are wonderful hosts. The house is beautiful and lots of natural light. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Walking distance to Playa Mar Azul with great tide pools for little ones. Short drive to town but outside of busy Santa. The wifi was fine for personal use but not suitable for business if you are planning to work on your stay. The property is lovely but there is no ocean view as the photos listed suggest. Otherwise as pictured and lovely all around!

Jeffe’s place is in an amazing spot in Santa Teresa. Easily walkable to all the best restaurants and beach bars. She gave us great recommendations and the place was great! The outside area was our favorite part!

I enjoyed my stay so much that I rebooked for two extra nights! This place is not only cozy and private, but also thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need. The attention to detail makes it feel like a true home away from home. The host is fantastic—responsive, kind, and communicates clearly throughout. A truly peaceful and well-run spot that I’d happily return to again and again.

We had a wonderful stay! The place is beautiful and wonderfully quiet – a true retreat. Its location was perfect, with the surfing area being an easy walk away. The house itself was very comfortable and we felt completely safe. Communication with the host was fantastic

Wir waren zu sechst im Haus von Felicitas und hatten eine wunderbare Zeit. Der Pool ist fantastisch und wurde besonders von unseren Kindern geliebt. Das Haus ist das letzte Haus vor dem Eingang zum Nationalpark. Wir haben vom Garten aus viele Tiere gesehen - darunter rote Aras, Brüllaffen, Skorpione, und die Kröten im Teich. Auf den Terrassen konnten wir sehr gut essen und abends sitzen. Ein Auto ist empfehlenswert, da wir dort keine Busse gesehen haben.

Tanias Casita is a very lovely place just a short drive away from Montezuma center. It‘s a lovely place surrounded by nature. We enjoyed the casita, the pool and the nearby surroundings. We didn‘t have a car so we had to either take a taxi uphill (5000 colon) or walk a short but very steep bit. We can definitly recommend Tanias place - she‘s a wonderful host. And if you stay there don‘t miss out on the butterfly garden next door and a cool drink in the butterfly brewery.

The location of this place was absolutely perfect!! Walking distance to the beach and several great restaurants. The yoga classes were amazing and there was even a DJ one night. The pool was great also. The place was clean, and patio was nice to sit on. We did experience ants in the bathroom one night, but once we got rid of them they didn’t come back. Overall great and very accommodating.

Host was very responsive, very clean property, wonderful pool & staff. Would absolutely recommend! We stayed for five nights and took day trips to Montezuma for waterfalls.

We stayed in the ocean view room and it was amazing. We saw the most beautiful sunrise, and an awesome lightning storm followed by great views of rainbows. They have an incredible gym and nice common area to visit with other guests. It is also so close to the heart of Montezuma making it ideal for our plans in the area. The hosts were very helpful and kind. Would definitely recommend if staying in the area.

Excellent stay Everything was clean Nina was a great host along with Pepper and Sammy/ Good relaxing place. Would stay there again.

I had a fantastic experience at Trebolmar! Even though I only stayed for a week, I easily could have stayed for longer. Luis was so helpful with recommendations and all my questions, and even helped me arrange dinner on my birthday while I was there (greatly appreciated!). The location is perfect — less than a 5-minute walk from the beach, lots of restaurants, coffee, etc. I would definitely stay again!

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.

faith was such a lovely host who was there for you 24/7. The apartment was clean, tidy and very spacious. Especially the bed was so amazing and big, and we loved the fact that there was hot water (in contrast to other airbnb's that we visited). We expected a bit more of Santa Teresa itself because the locals said swimming is dangerous because of the current, rocks and waves. Also, it's not really a suitable place for beginner surfers.

We had a wonderful time at Scott and Natalia’s place in beautiful Santa Teresa! We stayed at 3 places in Costa Rica, and this was by far our favorite. The location was absolutely perfect and walking distance to everything, including the beach. It was very well maintained and they even suggested an amazing excursion. We rented ATVs and went to Montezuma and a ton of small towns on our own, with their suggestion. It was our favorite day of the trip! Lots of monkey and wildlife by the pool, and beautiful beach across the road. Do not hesitate to book this 100000/10 Airbnb. Great price too! Thanks again Scott and Natalia! We will be back with friends we hope.

Le logement est très joli et bien situé. Marisa est incroyable! Elle a même ajouté du mobilier avant notre arrivée pour nous accommoder afin qu’on puisse prendre des repas à 4 autour d’une table dehors comme en-dedans. Super bien décoré. Végétation nous faisant sentir bien. Très bien isolé à l’intérieur pour ne pas entendre les quads qui passent sur la rue principale. Nous avons adoré!

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!

Great stay and very well kept communal property! It was nice to have the pool and yoga/gym area and access to filtered drinking water! Thank you for a great place in Santa Teresa for the night!

It is a magical place in the middle of the jungle and with beautiful ocean view. The sunsets were amazing!!! The apartments are perfectly clean, the decoration is very nice. The beds are perfect. The barhrooms are spacious. Fully equipped kitchen. The terrace is very spacious and perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view.I highly recommend the place. Manzanillo Beach, just a three-minute drive away, is a beautiful place. We also enjoyed Santa Teresa Beach and Hermosa Beach. The hostess Luz is very kind, friendly and attentive. We enjoyed some wonderful days of vacation

Thank you Sharon for being a wonderful host. You always took great care of us and we had such a wonderful time at your Condo. Los Delphines is a treasure and we hope to retire there in 2026..Everything was perfect!! Jerry & Bobbi Beatty

excellent location. close to very good beaches on both sides. would not bother with the local restaurant as you can get tastier and cheaper meals outside the complex. the place is as advertised. very clean and cozy. highly recommend if using as a base for all of the other beaches in the area. very satisfied.

Disfrutar de las Lapas Tricolor en su ambiente natural, verlas volar libremente. Es algo que no se consigue en otros lugares. Nos gustó mucho poder alojarnos en un lugar donde hay excelente seguridad, limpieza y respeto por los vecinos siguiendo las normas. Todo el equipo fue muy amable, estaban muy atento a nuestras necesidades. Los felicito tienen una joya de propiedad, en futuras vacaciones espero tener la suerte de conseguir alojarme nuevamente con ustedes.

Na verdade é uma pousada só que sem o café da manhã. Lugar bonito e muito bem cuidado. A cozinha é bem equipada, tudo certinho e atendeu muito bem minha família(um casal e 2 crianças. Os anfitriões são italianos muito gente boa. A localização em Santa Teresa é excelente pois fica pertinho de muitas opções de restaurantes e cafés e é na frente do pico principal de surf tendo apenas que caminhar cerca de 200m em uma trilha bem fácil.
