Family-friendly holiday rentals in Playas del Coco

This is such an amazing house in the Potrero area. Just a quick drive up the hill from downtown, easy access to restaurants in the beach. The caretakers went above and beyond to make our stay special, and the hosts were really responsive when needed. As other reviewers have said the pictures don’t nearly capture how wonderful the view is from the property. We were surprised by the overall size in space in the house, it was much larger than we anticipated but very nice to have all of the room. I would recommend this property for an upscale getaway to anyone.

This place exceeded my expectations. Pictures don’t do justice. The restaurant at the top is AMAZING. Lizette, the person who received us, is a beautiful person and very knowledgeable. Don’t think twice to book this!!!!

Had a good vacation with family, close to beach and local restaurants. Friendly security in las Catalinas

We love going to Reserva Conchal and Daphne's place had everything we wanted, from plenty of bedrooms, to a great location and view overlooking the golf course. Once inside the reserve, we had access to both The Westin and The W and all the amenities they had to offer. Great place to spend a weekend.

Great location, our only wish is that the property would have an elevator. Everything about this condo was exactly as listed, great private beach to anyone that finds this place.

Ilya was super friendly and helpful. He met us at the gate for check-in and showed us around the unit and property. Everything was clean and easy to access. There are multiple restaurants within walking distance and a couple min drive into downtown you can find a ton more. The beach is also within walking distance. It’s a calm beach with black sand. Not a lot around there but we had fun with our kids. This place is peaceful and relaxing and has great views of the ocean. Would recommend!

The place is amazing. Best venue in the area by far. Very secure and exclusive. Great grocery store onsite. Excellent pools. Very comfortable accommodations. Loved it!

Great condo, plenty of space and easy access to the beach via shuttle! Comfy beds and all amenities you need ! I would love to stay again!

We enjoyed everyday at the premises. Great to rise in the morning and head out for a coffee on the patio. So much to do in the area, we decided to simply walk to various destinations. Beach was only 15 minutes. Coffee shops less than 500 meters. Loved YUMMY Ice Cream Cafe. When we did make one reservation for a tour, we contacted Bonnie as recommended. She organized the whole day, including lunch. The neighbours are friendly and helpful... giving us some great tips...they had been coming back to the same establishment for years. if you are a bird lover, could download the Merlin app and use it to identify a number of species. Several monkeys in the area as well. This was a very lucky choice we made. Would definitely return. Thanks for making this a great vacation. . Ron and Gerry

It was an absolute pleasure staying at Casa Gecko. It was clean , comfortable , great location and was like a resort. It was a pleasure meeting Les, and we will definitely go back

We loved Drew’s place, everyone was so friendly and helpful, perfect place to bird watch and relax.

Stayed here for my wedding, which took place next door at the Las Palapas. Beautiful area! Wonderful stay, enjoyed the home and the surroundings. Thanks to Denise who was always great to get in touch with if we needed anything.

Amazing place super close to the beach and great restaurants! It has everything you'll need for a vacation time in Langosta/Tamarindo area.

What a spot for a vacation! The location was prime and the room itself was well suited for everything you need. This is a hidden gem in the area. Things I appreciated the most: The ocean was steps away for a swim at anytime. The shop keepers and restaurant owners downstairs are great people and pleasant to talk to during your stay. Waffle monkey (breakfast) and Portofino are the best spots for breakfast, fresh seafood, low cost happy hours, and fire show at night during sunset. You can literally walk anywhere in minutes. There is 3 separate door with locks to get to your top floor rental so this spot is very safe! If you are lucky, you'll notice a 5 foot iguana that rests in the trees to your right off the porch, spending days in the trees. Alvaro is the mgmt person who helps you. He speaks great English and responds rapidly to questions. Can't wait to return and bring family. The two units next to each other would be an ideal joint rental for a group of 5-7 people. Highly recommend!!!

Nice comfortable and clean place, right in the center of Playa Grande. There's everything in the house for a short and long stay. We recommand.

Awesome place to stay! Beautiful view! A short walk to the beach and some local shops - it is a steep hill, but there are stairs. Staff and other guests were extremely helpful and friendly. There was more than enough room for our family of four. When we needed assistance with an air conditioner, Floribeth was quick to respond, and had a repair person there in no time - problem fixed immediately. We were not planning on returning to Costa Rica, but after our stay, we fell in love with the area and people, and can't wait to return. Floribeth gave us precise directions, found it right away. You will not want to leave here. Thank you Floribeth!!

We loved this place! The views are stunning! I could sit on the decks for hours just staring at the view and listening to the waves. We made a big breakfast and ate it on the deck one morning…breath taking.. You even have a view while showering in the master bath! The best beaches are within minutes- Playa Flamingo & Playa Conchal. I ran to Playa Flamingo beach in 10 minutes. The sunsets from Playa Flamingo beach were amazing! The infinity pool was fantastic to come home to at the end of a long day out. I wouldn’t hesitate booking this place again.

Lovely home near one of the best beaches in the country! We were very comfortable during our 6 day stay, with 5 adults moving around, and felt very safe. Hosts were extremely kind and communicative, answering any questions we had about activities or eating recommendations. We loved sitting outside by the pool every morning and listening to the howler monkeys and watching the iguanas. Best trip we've taken and the memories we made we will cherish forever!

Been at Susana's place multiple times and will make sure to come back! amazing place and amazing hosts!

We have an incredible stay at Villa Tranquila. The pool and patio area are private, spacious and offer a stunning view of Playa Hermosa. The house was very clean with spotless tile flooring throughout, large en-suite bathrooms, very well stocked kitchen and supplies. Deborah was quick to respond to things that came up - the safe was repaired quickly and an empty propane tank was replaced within minutes of reporting it. Deborah gave us ideas on activities and restaurants and Fernando the property manager is friendly and cheerful. I agree with others that a 4 wheel drive vehicle is needed for steep streets. We will recommend this property to others and will stay here again if we ever return to Costa Rica.

Our stay at Alejandro’s was amazing! The house is exactly as pictured and even a 5 minute drive to a beautiful beach. The house had everything we could need. We had a large group and everyone was able to have space and we cooked many shared meals in the spacious kitchen. The pool had stunning views and it was incredibly waking up to the nature sounds every morning. We had a bit of a rough time getting to the place as our GPS routed us up the back dirt road and there were many pot holes and ditches. I would advise in wet season to only stay on main roads. Once we were able to navigate to the house everything was great for our stay. Beware of giant grasshoppers (and other creatures of nature around you in this property!) but that’s all part of the experience.

My husband and I loved our stay here. The pictures are very accurate, and the biggest plus was definitely the private infinity pool. It stays pretty warm, even when it's cloudy, and it's so big. The outside space is incredible with so many different places to relax. The inside is decorated well and nice everywhere, especially the main bedroom/bathroom, which is private on the top floor, so if you're traveling with kids you’ll have your own space. With A/C and fans literally everywhere, you'll be very comfortable. There will be a lot of bugs, including some inside, but if you understand that you're in a tropical area, it's not really a big deal...just don't leave unwrapped food out. The host Jamie was also very responsive with questions and the Zindis group will help you book any adventure you're looking for. Be sure to rent a car if you want to go to a beach or whatever because the road down from the house is steep and winding, but all paved. For what this house offers, you're definitely getting a great deal...especially if you can split it with another couple/family members. While we wanted to explore the area, we also didn't want to leave this house... we would definitely stay here again!

Everything was perfect right from the time we were picked up at the airport by our friendly and helpful driver, Walter, who Patrick (the host) arranged for us. We arrived at this beautiful location on Feb 20/25 and Rob (the building manager) arranged for Walter to bring us back to the airport on Apr 23rd). Upon arrival, Rob met us at the gate and let us into our unit and showed us around. Rob was always available if we needed help. The unit was well-equipped for our stay. We enjoyed meeting and chatting with other guests, including the owners (fellow Canadians) who hosted a couple of BBQ’s by the pool and introduced us to some of their friends who now call Coco Beach home. Everything we needed was within walking distance. We look forward to returning next year.

This home was a good fit for our multi-family vacation. There was a lot of space in the kitchen and living room. We really enjoyed the backyard pool and jacuzzi. It was sunny in the morning and shaded for much of the day, so perfect for the kids that were with us. We also had a family of monkeys living in the trees behind the house! You should rent a golf cart to get around the property and into town. We had a few minor issues with broken items, but the host came right out to fix them. Worth noting, the 2 bedrooms not in the main house had a strong musty smell, so if you are sensitive to that kind of thing this might not be the house for you. The host did try to remedy the smell with air fresheners but it was quite strong. Overall an enjoyable house for our large group!
