Waterfront holiday rentals in Playa Mantas

David’s place was great! You cannot beat the location and view. We were so thankful we chose this place, it was close to everything and he is a great host. We’d love to come back!

Amazing stay! The beach views were stunning. The place felt super private and safe. Security placed at the entrance to the community and another at the entrance to the beach. Omar replied quickly to our questions with clear, helpful info. Shops and restaurants were just a short drive away. Would definitely stay there again!

Spectacular views and very well appointed. Master suite was fantastic. Development was very private and secluded. We would recommend Fio’s place.

The accommodations exceeded my expectations

This was an amazing condo; every room had a partial view of the ocean. The staff at the condo complex were courteous and always helpful. It was a good location, away from noisy bars, but within (long) walking distance or a short drive to all the Jaco bars and restaurants. Laura had some restaurant suggestions which were excellent. We’ve stayed in dozens of condos over the years; this was the best or close.

Absolutely perfect—like stepping into the pages of a nature magazine. Nestled near the forest beside the stunning ocean, it offers the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and all the modern comforts you need. Everything is conveniently close by, yet the tranquility makes it feel worlds away. The silence is incredibly soothing. The dogs on the property are so sweet and comforting—they really helped with how much I was missing mine back home. 10/10, I would definitely book again!

Good place to stay if you are looking for a place near the beach.

a very nice place to spend with family, with all the descriptions shown in the ad. The beach is close, easy to access and super beautiful ☺️

Awesome beach house. House was clean and very spacious. It is Inside a safe community with security and there is a local restaurant about a 10 minute walk away which you can order local food from which was delicious. Host was very helpful with any concerns and had great recommendations.

🌟 A Hidden Gem in Costa Rica – Hotel Zócalo is Pure Magic! 🌟This beautiful boutique hotel is a perfect blend of charm, comfort, and authentic local warmth. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every interaction felt personal and sincere – it’s clear they truly care about their guests. Our room was stunning – immaculately clean and tastefully decorated with local touches. We woke up each morning to the sound of tropical birds and enjoyed fresh coffee on the balcony overlooking lush greenery. What really sets Hotel Zócalo apart is the vibe – it’s peaceful, inviting, and full of character. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool or enjoying locally-sourced breakfast it all feels effortlessly comfortable. The location is perfect close to beautiful beaches, adventure excursions, and vibrant local culture, but still tucked away enough to feel like a true retreat. If you’re looking for a place that offers an unforgettable experience, Hotel Zócalo is it.

I feel so lucky I got to stay here. This home is located in a private, beach front community with other travelers and locals. The pool was beautiful with a swim up bar and macaws flying over our heads and hanging out in the nearby trees. The home was beautiful and very clean, it was easy to feel at home and get a good night’s rest. The home is beautifully designed yet very cozy. The host was awesome and provided us a list of local food, activities, and more! They didn’t miss a beat. I highly recommend choosing this home for your stay in Costa Rica. Also, Jaco and the surrounding areas are so extremely beautiful. This was the most incredible trips of my life, everyone I met was so cool and friendly, the food was amazing, and the wildlife was breathtaking. If you have the opportunity, please don’t pass it up!

Casa Baru is a beautiful home and a perfect location for accessing the beach and many great restaurants. When we walked in the door my kids said, “This looks like a celebrity’s house!”. The outdoor space is beautiful and serene and indoors is spacious and comfortable. Juan was super responsive to any questions we had and he had great local recommendations for restaurants. I highly recommend this beautiful home and Juan as a host!

Everything was perfect! The location and the house all met our expectations. Danny & the team were always kind and approachable. When we found that wasps were building a nest at the house, the team was there within an hour and the issue was resolved immediately. The pool was clean and in the best condition. We had the best vacation and would be happy to come back!

In general, the house is very good, the location is excellent, the hosts respond quickly

The house and property were as described and expected and we were extremely happy with our stay! We were specifically looking for something outside of the typical tourist spots and Gary’s place did not disappoint. Gary specifically stated that the mosquito population at his house was low and he was absolutely right! Just a few tips and recommendations for other potential visitors. - The kayaks must be taken down the hill to the beach for each use for security reasons. We hesitated to use them until our last day for this reason but we wish we hadn’t. Gary made it very easy and he took them down on his car. It’s an easy paddle to some snorkeling and nice beach areas. You can avoid paying for parking and hauling gear. - there is a public road between the pool area and beach where locals like to park and hang out. Shrubbery gives visual privacy but you may hear music. This did not detract from our stay. Overall we absolutely recommend this house to others.

Beautiful home right on the beach with amazing host who was always right there to assist when needed. The home was immaculate and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The living room was a great relaxing spot and my favourite was the patio table overlooking the pool. We loved this home and you can tell the owner takes pride in hosting. We will be back at the first opportunity . Highly recommended. Thank you for an amazing few days!

Valeria place is exactly what we needed for our vacation. After spending a few busy days at la fortuna we just wanted to relax at the beach or pool and this place hit the spot. the instructions were very clear on how to get to the property. Valeria gave me clear instructions and mentioned the or code needed to get inside and the bracelets situation and I didn't think much of it until we got there. The reason for all of this is that this place is super secure. everyone that is there either lives or rents there. Everyone that works at the beach club take excellent care of the property. we were so happy to be at the 11th floor so we got to see some monkeys and macaws too. also the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. we mainly used the electric skillet. but I noticed there was a griddle, waffle maker, pots, bowls, coffee maker etc. thank you Valeria, your place was a key element of our memorable vacation.

Great experience for our first time in Costa Rica!! Can’t wait to go back!! The pictures don’t even do the condo justice. It’s amazing and so convenient to town. Our guide in town, Chris, was unbelievable and had so many great suggestions. Pura Vida, Costa Rica!

Leonardo was friendly and responsive and made check in process a breeze. Location is a 10/10, with easy access to beach and pool area, as well as walking distance to great restaurants and a local market. Highlight of our trip was seeing a sloth hanging in the trees on the beach! Would definitely choose to stay here again.

It exceeds expectations. The apartment is IMPECCABLE, it has many details and much more than we need on our vacation. The location is perfect, the terrace overlooks the pool which is quite comfortable. Simply 10!!, nothing to object to. Leny is very attentive, responds immediately and quickly solves your needs. Thank you Leny for your recommendations and for making our stay very easy. I'd come back!

Norman’s place is amazing and he was very communicative and helpful! Would definitely recommend to go there and I would love to go back.

I was driving south and needed a place to stay last minute and Josep responded within 1 minute with my question which was great. We were traveling with two cars and there was no issue with parking. I think the listing says 1 car space available but there was room for two which was what we needed. Thank you.

Our stay at Damien’s place was perfect for our family. The place was clean, in a great location (walkable to many restaurants, the beach, stores, etc) and access to the pool was perfect for us and our 3 year old. Damien was an incredible host and went above and beyond to make our stay easy. He helped us with local tours, recommendations, and set us up with items for our daughter specially. The kind of host you wish for every time! Would absolutely stay again and would highly recommend to anyone!

“Such an awesome place! It had everything we needed, especially while traveling with kids. The thoughtful touches—like complimentary refreshments, and fresh fruit—made us feel right at home. Jose helped us with our luggage. Very thoughtful!!! Highly recommended!”
