Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Malpais

A beautiful place, extremely cozy with everything you need to spend an excellent vacation. José is a great host

We stayed for one 1 month at Joe's place and what can I say, it was awesome. Joe himself is very kind, responsive and super chilled. He even made food for us and invited us to hang out with his friends and come to party. The hospitality was incredible. The place itself was beautiful. It is the middle of the jungle, surrounded by fruit trees, palm trees and cool animals. Very private as well. In the middle is a pool and a community place where people come together and hang out. I loved the kitchen at our house, the big fridge, the balcony and everything else. I also had a special request about synthetic fragrances where Joe made sure they avoid it before I come and I’m really thankful for that. The beach is right in front of the house, a little grocery store 5min walk and Santa Teresa is like 5min by car. The people in Costa Rica are also very friendly and kind. I can highly recommend staying at Joe's place. Thank you Joe!!

Our stay was fantastic, and I highly recommend this place. The house is tucked away in the jungle, surrounded by trees, palms, lush vegetation, and various animals. You can relax inside with air conditioning while enjoying the view through the large windows, or unwind on the spacious terrace and take in the natural surroundings. The interior was exactly as described - clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything listed. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Communication was excellent: quick responses, clear instructions, and even help guiding us to the house, which isn’t the easiest to find. There’s a beach nearby, and even the heart of the tourist area is within easy reach. You’ll definitely need a real 4x4 vehicle, as reaching the property requires crossing a stream several times - which can become more challenging during the rainy season. We would definitely choose this place again if we return to Costa Rica.

Perfect location. Matan is a 10-star host, always helping me and providing me with what I needed. Fully equipped house and spectacular pool. Good internet for those who, like me, work online. When I return to Santa Teresa, I know where to stay.

Suggestion for tenants: the car really has to be 4X4!! The place is beautiful, I can't explain how beautiful it is...but the entrance and exit is extremely difficult if you don't have a 4X4, and if you use the transport or "taxis" that are here in Santa Teresa, the foreigners charge you up to 16,000 colones ($31.50) for a 2-minute round trip, in my opinion the transport is very expensive haha. But in general it's a beautiful place! We will definitely return in the summer to enjoy the area and the house more. Thanks Alvaro, always for your kindness and attention, you were the best Host.🙂‍↕️🥹 The truth is, we had a very good experience, we saw monkeys, we enjoyed the pool, even taking a shower with the forest in sight was refreshing! We love it!

The villa is very comfortable. It has the utensils in the cosina to prepare food ,the place is quiet to rest and very close to the beach and supermarkets and restaurants , we went as a family and we really liked it we will definitely stay again with Carlie

I had a great stay! Anne-Laure is a wonderful host—she made sure my check-in went smoothly and helped me out multiple times during my stay. She even gave me a hand returning my quad bike when I was checking out. Always quick to respond and happy to help with anything I needed. I’d definitely come back. Thank you so much! much.

Andi was a pure delight and genuinely cared about our experience in Santa Teresa. We were very pleased with everything, and VERY pleased to have an atv to access not only the somewhat hilly approach to the air bnb but pretty much all the surrounding areas of interest. Very grateful for the hospitality, hope to return one day!

It was our first time in the area and since before booking, Lorna was very attentive explaining and recommending which places to visit. On site Adonis welcomes you who at all times was super attentive, friendly and willing to help you in everything from where to eat to how to get to the beaches and by the way to show you the place. That said in passing is divine in the middle of many trees, sound of birds and visit of the howler monkeys. The apartment is super well equipped, clean, white and beautiful natural light. The village has a beautiful vibe, the playa has a lot of stones but that is its charm. The cherry on the cake is Luna and Toby that accompany you on the hikes and the pool in a shade very barely to relax in the afternoon. We will definitely be back🫶🏼.

Our friends rented this house a year ago and loved it so much that we decided to book it for our honeymoon, and we are happy we did. The Casa Mirame concierge team made everything flawless - from restaurant recommendations and setting up excursions, to even booking our 4x4 rental at the Cobano Airport. You need 4x4. The road is steep and partially unpaved. However, the drive is more than worth it. The home is spotless, includes daily maid service, looks better than the photos, and the views are magical. The place is totally private, and the pool is AMAZING. We would watch birds and listen to monkeys and the waves in the distance while the sun set.

We loved our stay at Louis’s villa! From the moment we booked he was responsive and helped us organize everything. Airport pick up, transportation around town and where to find the best waves, He had everything covered. He also had the villa cleaned half way through our trip! Great host, great place, beautiful place to visit! Highly recommend.

Such a lovely stay, the villa is gorgeous, views are stunning, we loved it! The hill is walkable but steep so it was definitely a good work out, we had a 4x4 and it managed it fine. Santa Teresa is great, so many restaurants and bars, we surfed/tried to, headed to Montezuma for zip wire and thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets from the villa. BBQ and kitchen was great, we ate in a few times and quite enjoyed watching the ant action at night. Tomi the dog was a lovely extra we discovered he loved chomping on ice cubes, he was a gem! The hosts are very responsive, loved the info they sent it was great, would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful house! Yoad was incredibly friendly and attentive. The property was just as described, with a beautiful view and a very private setting. Great location—close to supermarkets and shops. It’s also very pet-friendly, which was a big plus. We’d definitely love to come back. A fantastic spot! I recommend!

Amazing place in the jungle! It’s incredibly peaceful, perfect for relaxation and disconnecting from the world. However, be prepared for a steep road—you’ll need a 4x4 to get there. Since it’s deep in the jungle, you might encounter some interesting insects. Overall, a fantastic getaway for nature lovers!

The treehouse was stunning, the host communication through our stay superb. Definitely felt private and like an oasis. Perfect for someone staying in Santa Teresa who wants to be away from the hustle and bustle of the main area but close enough to enjoy. We took advantage of her breakfast in bed which was lovely the one morning we had it. Would highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The guest houses are nicely laid out, so that each has a great view and nice pool access. Kitchens are well stocked and nicely planned - we cooked a lot and it was easy to use. The location on the hill gives you a very nice panorama of the ocean between Cabo Blanco and Playa Montezuma. It is close to a great restaurant/brewery, and a trail that goes into the Montezuma Waterfall near the top ($5 US to hike it and it was worth the trip). Getting to town or the beach requires driving or walking a pretty steep, busy road. There are lots of great restaurants and beaches around Montezuma.

We loved spending two nights in nature. It was so peaceful! Esteban was immediately there upon our arrival and Ingrid checked in daily to ensure everything was going well. The Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve is extremely close (you can walk) and it was beautiful to hike there. We did not see deer but my morning yoga session on the deck with 5-10 monkeys jumping in the trees was spectacular. I will not forgot this. I also could watch them from the shower. This place is just a delight.

This place is over-the-top awesome. Soaring ocean views, but the center of town is just down the hill. The two bedrooms upstairs had epic views and super comfortable king beds, and the third bedroom downstairs was perfect for the kids. Eti, the host, was super responsive and helped us book all kinds of adventures throughout our stay. There was daily cleaning and laundry from friendly staff. It's basically your own private luxury hotel in one of the world's perfect surf towns.

Lovely place, great location!

We had a great time at Villa Lasai! Sophie- the concierge, did a great job assisting us with anything we needed and the house itself is exactly what you see on the pictures- gorgeous with breathtaking views, great pool and outdoor area. I am not an early bird by any means but I enjoyed waking up early in this house a lot- hearing all the forest inhabitants, ocean waves breaking somewhere further make you want to start your day to see/feel more of that. The house is located up the hill and the road is partially paved which took us one full round trip to get used to, but once you get a hang of it- it’s totally fine just a bit bumpy. In terms of proximity to everything the location is great, once you’re down the hill- you’re on the main street of Santa Teresa with all the restaurants, shops and tons of ocean access points. Overall, would definitely recommend Villa Lasai and would love to come back here some time in the future!

Diane’s place far exceeded our expectations. Great location, very tastefully decorated. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there and available. The setting is amazing, looking out over the jungle and seeing the monkeys off the balcony. The sounds in the morning and evening are amazing. Great pool, grill etc etc. We would come back here in a heart beat.

Amazing place! Has exactly what you need and was super clean!! Beautiful property and great location.

Great place, would definitely stay again!

Rainbow House was a great place to stay. Surrounded by trees with great view of the Pacific Ocean. Steep climb to the house but that was great exercise. Chachi was responsive to our requests and is very helpful.
