Spacious Modern Home w/pool in gated community
Great place in the middle of everything. We really enjoyed the stayed with the family.

Casa del Agua @Pueblo Verde
Wonderful week with my family of four! Loved Punta Islita—beautiful beach and resort- amenities available to us! So much wildlife around! We actually loved the separate master bedroom, worked perfectly for us. The pool was exquisite! Highly recommend!

Tropical Ocean View Villa in Playa Garza
Erin & Peter are great host, they are great communicating if anything happens or needs to be addressed. House is stunning with a priceless view of the beach. About a ten minute ride into Nosara. You can tell Erin & Peter care about their tenants and that is worth a lot when traveling. Highly recommend!

Casa Lapa 2
We had a wonderful stay at Pia’s place. Her parents, Gabby and Federico, were great hosts and responsive to all requests. We stayed for 3 months and got to know the area, many of the neighbors, neighborhood dogs, and establishments in Carrillo. The place is in a very convenient location. It’s a walkable distance to everything in Carrillo y la playa. The adjacent forest is typically filled with howler monkeys, iguanas, and a diversity of birds. The house and pool were great. They needed regular maintenance as everything does in this environment, but the owners were typically right on it. Recommended accommodation.

Luxe Modern Villa w/ pool yard at premium location
Wonderful location within walking distance to the beach and to local restaurants. The house was spacious and had a nice shaded pool and patio. The host was hard to get ahold of prior to our arrival, however, we had much better communication once we got to town. The house had plenty of room for a large group— the downstairs bedroom had two bunk beds that slept four people, the second bedroom had a queen size bed and a bunk bed, and the master bedroom had a king size bed. The hosts provided a safe, an alarm and a guard at night during evening hours which helped us feel safe. The design of the house is modern and simple. We loved our stay and would return again.

El Sol Y La Luna
Un lugar para desconectarse de todo, ver el amanecer, los atardeceres y las noches con luna hacen que uno pierda el son del tiempo. No ibamos de vacaciones, fuimos mas bien por trabajo, pero aun asi logramos que la naturaleza nos sacara un poco de la rutina. Exc internet para trabajar Todo estuvo muy bonito

Luscious Green Estate Garden - Villas Verdes #8
This was a great place where we felt so lucky to have landed! The Villas are off the beaten path but still so close to everything in Samara town. We were thankful to be able to walk to and from the beach without having to spend much time on the busy town roads. The property is wonderfully maintained with beautiful landscaping. Our rental was furthest from the road and wonderfully private and quiet. We were delighted to be treated to so much space both inside and out. It included a large private covered patio with comfy furniture and a large dining table. Inside, the beds were all comfortable, the shower had plenty of pressure and warm water, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and clean up meals and there were 3 AC units that made our stay there totally comfortable.

Casa Sámara
What an awesome place! My family and I stayed in this beauty for 17 days and it was simply amazing. The pictures are good, but even better in person. The views are simply breathtaking. The condo was very clean and well equipped with everything to make you feel right at home. The beds and furniture were comfy. We will definitely be back and stay at Maria's! Pura Vida

Rancho RachMare in Playa Coyote, a Beach Home!
Pura vida at its max. Pure relaxation, comfort, safety. Zeidy’s food absolute perfection, the kids kept saying it wasn’t even real, calling it dream food. Pool is bigger than what the pictures show, beach wonderful, restaurant down the road a neat little touch for a dinner. We got horses and massages right at the house. The team is fantastic and Jose was wonderful to line it all up. Our private driver that Jose arranged was just wonderful and accommodating to any needs. We would give 10 stars if we could, just like other reviews. Stay here. Or don’t, which will clear up more space in the calendar for us to come back :) :)

"Casa Tranquila"
La estancia en casa tranquila fue increíble nos sentimos como en casa nos encantó la zona muy tranquila para descansar y rodeados de la naturaleza .La cocina estaba muy bien equipada y la lavadora y la secadora nos fue muy útil ya que estuvo lloviendo y la ropa no se secaba, vidal fue muy amable con nosotros nos dio buenas recomendaciones de lugares para visitar. La limpieza es buena , lo único que puedo recomendar es que si van a rentar se aseguren de llevar un carro 4x4 ya que la subida si está un poco pesada y las distancias a las playas si son un poco retiradas. Sin duda nos volveremos a quedar en casa tranquila las próximas vacaciones .

La Huella del Caracol. Ocean front.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drei traumhafte Monate in diesem wunderschönen Haus! Die Ruhe war himmlisch und die Lage direkt am Meer unschlagbar - fast täglich sind wir schwimmen gegangen. Die Aufteilung des Hauses war perfekt für uns. Und das Privileg in so einem Haus zu wohnen war für uns aussergewöhnlich. Danke Roxana. Als Gastgeberin warst du sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und hast alles wunderbar organisiert. Diese fantastischen Wochen werden unvergesslich bleiben und wir wollen gerne wiederkommen!

Million Dollar View, Humble Price, Walk to Beach
Está muy cerca de la playa, se puede llegar caminando, además la playa nos pareció muy bonita, tiene muchos restaurantes a la orilla de la playa que le dan un toque especial, además de canchas de voleibol, fútbol y cerca hacen diferentes tours. Sarina nos recomendó unos y pudimos hacer el de delfines y snorkel. Además el lugar tenía lo que necesitábamos, una vista hermosa y se escuchaba el mar desde el alojamiento.

Casa Del Halcon 2
I had a relaxing and adventurous stay with my partner at Casa Del Halcon 2 for 10 nights. The casita was clean, roomy, with a great kitchen and an amazing outdoor area. We spent many mornings in the hammocks with a coffee listening to the sounds of the jungle. The gardens surrounding the property are stunning. After a day of adventuring in the area, the plunge pool was the perfect place to cool off and chill out. We enjoyed reading in the shade on the lounge chairs and daybed. Chris was super helpful and welcoming to us. He was responsive to all of our questions and ensured everything was running smoothly. The location is perfect. A minute walk to the local soda where we had a couple of delicious meals. Small grocery store is 5 minute bike ride. Samara is about a 15 minute bike ride away. Buena Vista beach also 5 minutes away where we saw the most incredible sunsets! Overall we would highly recommend staying here for a truly unique experience of Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

**garden apartments** 300 mts from PELADA beach
Frederica's place is a great location in Pelada, very close to the beach and an easy walk to Guiones. It is a very nice apartment, comfortable and very clean. The only problem was that it is sort of hot at night and the ceiling fans are not very strong. There was a portable fan but it did not work. I should have tested it before it got too late, so that was my bad. I highly recommend this place for its location, comfort, space, and Frederica was very responsive. Just make sure to test the fan when you arrive.

Villa Esplendor
Muy tranquilo y silencioso, bastante limpio y muy bien equipada la casa, bastante cerca de la playa, solo un poco viejos los ventiladores por lo que puede hacer un poco de calor y la vegetación ayuda a refrescar la casa, el vehículo debe quedar afuera pero queda a escasos 50 metros de la casa pero es muy tranquilo así que es seguro, Johannes es un excelente anfitrión, siempre al pendiente de todo, definitivamente volvería a hospedar en esta casa.

Private pool, 4 blocks to the beach! Near Samara
El lugar es muy confortable y con bellas zonas verdes alrededor. Las habitaciones tienen A/C y ventiladores de techo. La piscina es fantástica y nos la pasamos muy bien. Jackie fue siempre muy amable y servicial para que nuestra instancia fuera muy agradable. La casa muy cómoda, limpia y ordenada. Dejamos olvidado un dinero en la caja fuerte y con gran prontitud nos transfirió el dinero a nuestra cuenta, demostrando gran honradez, excelente servicio y amabilidad. Hay buenos restaurantes cerca y supermercados locales. Fueron unas memorables vacaciones en familia.
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Secluded beach house with amazing view and pool
My family of four spent a lovely week at Diego‘s home. The view is fantastic. Lisbeth was always there when we needed her. Proximity to the beach was perfect. We enjoyed the pool which was clean and just the right size. Diego helped us make reservations at Don Ramiro’s on our last night, something I cannot recommend enough.

Large condo. Home away from home!
Great responsive host and perfect location right in the centre. Some action at night if you are a light sleeper but it is a perfect location otherwise. right by grocery stores, restaurants, and the beach.

Nosara Blue: Casa Potrero - Free Classes on Site!
Absolutely loved our stay at Nosara Blue. The house is very spacious and modern, equipped with all amenities. There is security on the property and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The place is a 10 minute walk to the beach and you have nice restaurants and a supermarket in walking distance.

Casa Pericos Overlooking Carrillo Bay
We stayed as a family of 5 in Costa Rica for 2 weeks in a few different cities. This area and this airbnb was our favorite! We loved that once you get to the house, it feels completely private and surrounded by lush greenery, but you can walk to amazing restaurants and the beach in 5-10 minutes. (El Colibri ended up being our favorite nearby) We used the kitchen a lot and it was well stocked with anything we might need. There were plenty of pillows, extra bedding & blankets. Our kids loved the upstairs bedrooms and additional deck just for them. The outside area and the views, being surrounded by beautiful plants and animals & overlooking the ocean and sunset was the best. There are so many different kinds of birds that come right up to the deck. Our last 2 days, a big family of howler monkeys hung out in the trees just next to the house. If you are a light sleeper, you might want to bring ear plugs as the animal sounds go all through the night as well. We loved our stay!

Casa Tortuga in 24/7 Gated and Guarded Community
Très bel endroit propre et spacieux ! La maison est situé au bout du chemin, donc on a l’impression d’être seul. C’est très calme et intime. L’énorme piscine a été un succès pour les enfants! Je suggère d’aller à la plage Carrillo, elle est plus authentique et les couchers de soleil sont magnifique!

Beachfront Bliss! Steps to the beach.
Our stay at Casa Blanca was everything we could have hoped for. The view and pool were spectacular and taking in the sunsets from the patio was our favourite way to end the day. Highly recommend bringing in Mauricio for a private meal and exploring Marbella for lunch at the Tiki Hut.

BREATHTAKING Private villa 5* Hotel Punta Islita
Absolutely Paradise! We couldn’t have been more impressed. Heather and her team were super easy to communicate with, and everyone at the resort is top-notch! We can’t wait to return. Pura Vida!

Villa Esther at Guacamaya Lodge
The home was very clean and spacious with everything you need to enjoy your stay. There's a nice bar and restaurant on site with very friendly staff. Would definitely return in the future.
