Tiny house holiday rentals in Nicoya Peninsula

Ohana Villas was the perfect place to stay in Santa Teresa! The property is beautiful, it’s well maintained and clean. The pool and pool area is great! A perfect spot to cool off and relax. The owners are present on the property every day & the nicest people! They would check in on how our stay is going, if we needed anything and just to say hi. We were given clear instructions to access the property, a lengthy list of recommendations for food and some overall information. I would stay here again and recommend them to anyone looking for a place to stay in ST.

I made it to the Cottage right before dark. Hearing Howler Monkeys up above was amazing! The fan was on high and both ceiling fans going. Bed was very comfortable and welcoming. I had traveled all day and it was perfect! Loved the airiness of the room and the simplicity of the bathroom and kitchen. Plan to stay here again!

Is beachfront worth the extra cost? Absolutely! The sound of the waves, the sunrises and sunsets, the views down the entire Santa Teresa beach. I don’t relax vacation often, but really needed to and Richard’s place was exactly what I needed! Tide pools to the right, excellent surf waves to the left, some of the freshest foods I’ve eaten anywhere. This is an amazing location at a quiet end of an amazing beach, shaded by trees, next to a restaurant that we enjoyed many meals at. The quaint size reminded us the reason for the rocking chairs on the porch, outdoor couch, table and lounge chairs was to be outside. Full featured kitchen, great shower, and comfortable bed. If you don’t rent a car, rent the ATV’s, Richard can help get them delivered to you…we happily had one for the week to explore and dine at multiple places. A gated parking area is a bonus. As is a quick nap in the hammock to the rhythm of the waves, waking to stunning views. Get the beachfront! We will be back!

Such a gorgeous little spot in the heart of Guiones. Super close to the beach, restaurants and shops, but still tranquil! Check-in was so easy and clear, the communication was immediate, and though I am familiar with Nosara, the host offered a lot of information on the area and resources for potential needs (tours, transport etc.). The place was beautiful, loved the open-air kitchen - fully stocked with all of the appliances and kitchenware one might need. The room and bathroom were immaculate, beautifully designed - loved the bay window day bed! Overall had a wonderful stay, and would absolutely stay here again.

The bungalow was fantastic, very comfortable, and José was a great host. I would definitely stay here again if returning to Tamarindo.

Highly recommend this place to stay in Monteverde! The host was super welcoming when we arrived and was kind throughout. The place is as described with a beautiful view overlooking the mountains which allowed for a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. To note, having a car or using taxi’s is most likely needed to stay here. There wasn’t really any restaurants or places to walk to without driving into the main township.

Teresita and Eli went above and beyond. We were a group of 14 and rented out all their cabanas. As you can imagine we had lots of questions. They took the time to recommend activities and even booked on our behalf. Also, all of their food recommendations were great. The cabanas were beautiful and had everything we needed.

Love the unit, incredibly clean, tidy, lovely place! Hosts are responsive and take care of every detail

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this apartment! Nestled in a lush, beautifully maintained tropical garden, the setting felt like a peaceful oasis. Waking up to the sounds of birds and being surrounded by greenery was a true escape from everyday life. One of the best parts? It’s just a 10-minute walk to a stunning beach with pristine, crystal-clear waters. Whether I wanted to swim, relax on the sand, or watch the sunset, it was the perfect spot and so easy to get to. The apartment itself was clean, well-equipped, and tastefully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The garden views from the windows and patio were stunning — perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. The host was friendly, responsive, and gave great local tips. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax in a serene, tropical environment. I would definitely stay here again!

I work remote and took my work to the mountains. I stayed at this hotel for a whole month. The mountains are beautiful and amazing to wake up to every morning. The sunrises and star gazing on this mountain was phenomenal. The fruitful trees that the monkeys have to climb daily was so inspiring to watch how God provides to all species. The sounds of the birds singing in the jungle was a great experience for my morning coffee. And last but not least the amazing staff here! I am blessed to have found this wonderful place to stay for a month! The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. Staff responded timely and very helpful. Great WiFi connectivity, electricity worked well, plenty of hot water. You will need a 4x4 vehicle or a taxi that provides it. Beaches are nearby and the culture was great to visit and explore. I see why this area specifically is the blue zone. Pura vida lives in this mountain top. Definitely recommend. Can’t wait to visit again. Glamping!!

A perfect place with parking inside the establishment and pool to enjoy in the day Marc and Grace was always very attentive to answer our questions and help us with what we occupied We'll definitely be back on our next trip 🙌🏻

Lovely place with enough jungle to feel remote, but close enough to town to walk if you wanted. AC was surprisingly quick to cool down the space considering the size of the unit vs the space. Loved the outdoor patio and direct kitchen access for breakfasts. Kitchen was nicely equipped and stocked, including vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. There is no oven, but there is a 2 burner electric stove. Very clean space, felt very modern and welcoming. The whole property is behind a locked gate, so security is never a concern. Diego was also very helpful and friendly, giving suggestions for restaurants and hiking locations when we asked. Check-in and out require in person meeting, but he was very flexible with the timing for that, both on arrival and departure. Definitely would stay here again if I come back to the area in the future.

We had a wonderful time at Elena's place. The garden is beautiful and invites you to relax. We have also been able to discover some birds there. The house is really nicely decorated and it also brings everything you need, we lacked nothing. Elena is also super sweet and had many recommendations for us on what we can do in the area. We can only recommend the place. ☺️

We enjoyed the time at the Airbnb very much. Raquel and her husband were super sweet and friendly and gave us tips on what to do in the area. The beaches nearby were very nice and quiet. The tiny house was really great and you had a great view. The house was lovingly furnished and cozy. It was just a bit too warm for us when sleeping without air conditioning, but otherwise everything was perfect.

Super nice accommodation in a relaxed green garden. The hammock and washing machine were our favourite parts! Well equipped kitchen with (portable) fans for outside and the kitchen. Not many mosquitos inside nor outside for us, also thanks to Philipps secret repellent. Cabuya is a great village, very quiet not super touristy, with great beaches in the area. We loved the walk to the small tidal island and visiting Cabo Blanco, where we even spotted an ant eater. Philipp and the entire family is very kind and helpful and very fun to talk to, they even shared some of their cooking bananas with us. We had a great time. Thank you!

Such a beautiful little gem. Hosts were incredibly accommodating and helpful. Was lovely to meet Erica at check in. We had a big power cut during our stay but Erika checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Spotless cabin with everything you could need! Thank you so much:) Walk to the beach was less than 5 minutes, with plenty of lovely restaurants.

We stayed at Casa Rustica for 8 nights. The bungalow was the perfect size for my husband and me. The bed was very comfortable and the bath towels were luxurious. Sharr has done a great job decorating both inside and out. The vegetation around the property provides optimal privacy and we really enjoyed the outdoor shower. We didn’t hear or see our neighbours in Casa Rustica number 1 - it’s that private. The beach is about a 5 minute walk away (you can hear the sound of the waves from the back porch). We walked the beach into town and back a few times for lunch (about 25 minutes each way). We also rented beach bikes from Sharr which were handy for getting around, as we didn’t have a car. The location and the accommodation were perfect. We were fortunate enough to meet Sharr. She is an incredible host who wants to ensure her guests are comfortable. The only caveat we have is that this is a growing community and so there may be some construction happening on new homes nearby.

The location is walking distance to the grocery store, city center and beach. The neighborhood is safe and away from the crowd. Parking space is available. We enjoyed the bbq for prepping meals. The pool is fabulous. Tip #1: Go have lunch at Chaki Café, the girls are incredibly friendly and the food is fresh and amazing. Tip #2: For grocery shopping go to Super China Samara. Tip #3: Gusto Beach, you get a chair and an umbrella if you spend a minimum of $20. It’s well worth it. Try the ginger limonade.

The casita is just as described, small, very clean and cozy. Yes it was perfect for whatever we needed those days. The only downside was that the internet is not very stable in the area, and when we were in the Pueblito de San José de Pinilla, it started to fail. This caused the map to not load properly and took us elsewhere. Luckily we tried several times and it worked. I think it is convenient to ask Bim for the number of the person who gives maintenance to the casita because he lives there and easily gets to help! We discussed this the next day with this person, very kind by the way. I clarify that Bim answered me every message and sent me a couple of links to look for the map to load, with him the communication was perfect, it was the internet in the area that failed.

If you are looking for breathtaking views, beautiful scenery, stunning beaches, amazing sunsets, cozy living and great local eating then this is the perfect place for you. Tina and Sean were very helpful . Unfortunately our flight was changed and we traveled in a day later than booked. We ended up having to drive from SJO to Marbella . That was the most beautiful 5hr drive I’ve ever taken. It made 5 feel like 3! Be cautious, I am an adrenaline junky as well so drive long distances here at your own risk! Nonetheless, Tina and Sean assisted in every way they could, making our stay even more precious. 10/10 highly recommend this stay!

Loved my stay there. A friend rented the other bungalow, which was the perfect set up. Already booked a return visit.

We’ve stayed with Jessica a few times in the past and this time did not disappoint, as usual! The place was spotless upon arrival and really comfortable. The view from the deck is even better than what can be captured by the photos. It’s the busiest time of year in ST and Jessica’s place is so close to town and yet very quiet, away from the noise and dust. Atv recommended to get up the hill, as the listing says. Host is super responsive and can hook you up with atv rentals, etc! Thanks for another amazing stay!

GREAT location! Can walk to beach and town. Jeffry and Sofía from Alba guest services were super helpful and responded quickly. The cleaning crew was very nice. The casita is very cute and has everything you need with a few inconveniences. There is no lid for the cooking pot. The mini split was leaking and the hosts were quick to fix it but didn’t clean or change the sheets even though the water leaked all over the bed. The landscapers came in the morning and made relaxing outside difficult. The main house above the casita impacts privacy and there was extra noise. There was a family there with kids screaming in the pool a lot of the time. I just would go to the beach but it should maybe be noted that the home isn’t always the most peaceful. The outdoor shower also leaks. Overall, I loved staying here but I think the price was pretty high given the small issues which were fine but just a lot of money. I loved staying here though!! Amazing to walk to the beach and surf :) thank you!!!

a private and cozy place, which has a private pool gives you a thousand points, just what you need to disconnect 🩷
