Prestigious Apt in Walled City | Pool+Gym+Rooftop
Daniel's home was a dream. His place is amazing!! Daniel's home is located near so many beautiful sites and restaurants. This stay was special. My first time in Cartagena was made perfect thanks to Daniel and his awesome accommodations!!!

Amazing View 4 + Pool + Gym- Barranco & Miraflores
The apartment is beautiful. Beautifully furnished. Lots of space. Well located. Great host in every sense. Late check-in was also very helpful for us. Thank you Aaron.

Studio Bauhaus. (50 meters from the beach)
We had an amazing stay at Vergilio’s place! The home was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described in the listing. Check-in was smooth, and Vergilio even met us at the front and took our bags upstairs. He provided clear instructions and was super responsive to any questions. The neighborhood was close to everything we needed—great restaurants, public transport, and beaches. Thanks again Vergilio for helping with the birthday surprise! One of the best Airbnb stays I’ve had—highly recommend to anyone visiting Rio! Would definitely book again.

LUXURY DUPLEX PENTHOUSE OCEAN FRONT 3BD
Such an awesome place! Honestly, why stay in a hotel when you can have a huge apartment like this? It’s in the safest part of Miraflores, with super friendly guards on duty 24/7. The pictures don’t do this place justice. It was super clean and had great views of the ocean from both balconies. Larcomar is literally across the street, and Jet Market is just few steps away. everything’s super close and was easy to get to all the sites we wanted to see. The owners were great—really easy to talk to and always quick to reply. If you’re heading to Lima, don’t even think twice. Just book this place. You’ll love it!

Casa pé na areia - Arraial Suite
Ítalo is very welcoming and kind!!!

We want to go back already. OBS: I loved a wall of errands in the corridor,my Belinha left a little note there reporting it was wonderful our stay at the Site super recommend 😍😍😍
Waterfront house rentals

Casa De Ola, Jungle Beach Cabin
This was our second stay at Casa de Ola, and we’re already planning our return next year. We came with a regular rental car and had no issues reaching the house though if you want to explore deeper into the wild terrain, a 4x4 would help. It’s beautifully remote. Even though there's high-speed satellite internet, we forgot about phones and fully soaked in the vibe. A couple of short power outages (it was the start of wet season) only deepened the experience, allowing for candlelit evenings , intimate and grounding. The house is designed for disconnection in the best way. Where else can you wake up to toucan families or howler monkeys, sip volcanic spring water straight from the tap, and forage fresh mangoes, avocados, bananas, and oranges right from the land? Every morning we watched dolphins pods gliding by while lounging in the infinity net. Five minutes walk to a perfect intermediate wave for surfing and hidden jungle waterfalls. This place is rare. Can’t wait to come back.

Casita LUNA with cave, jacuzzi, pool, bbq etc
Beautiful beaches nearby, but restaurants and shopping are sparse. Be prepared to drive to get anywhere. However, we really enjoyed getting away from it all as a girls trip. We made use of the hot tub, pool and patio. We felt safe and secure the entire time. The hosts are lovely and helpful. Was able to spot sea turtles from the overlook ...and plenty of fish! The views are absolutely amazing. We enjoyed hanging out in the cave, but did not take use of the SUPs or swimming there. Kitchen had all the essentials to make some meals. Beds are comfy, and we appreciated being able to wash towels and clothes through the week. The neighbors have dogs, which was ok as dog lovers, but we definitely got to know all their names by the end of the week. AC worked great!

"La Familia" at Preá Beach
We had a wonderful time in Clémentine's accommodation! Everything is furnished with a lot of love and taste - you immediately feel comfortable. The view of the sea is simply fantastic - whether from the bed, the dining table or the hammock, you always look directly at the water. The location is also great: In a few minutes you can walk to the village with nice restaurants. We especially liked the personal tips for excursions in the area. And the on-site team was super friendly – the daily cleaning service was the icing on the cake. Clear recommendation!

Beach house. Sea, mangrove, lagoon & jungle
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Punta Preciosa. The location is beautiful and private. The beach was virtually deserted most of the time. The swimming was fantastic and it was also nice to walk along the sandy beach early in the morning and watch the Scarlet Macaws and other birds. Pascal was an excellent host. He was very responsive to my inquiries and often responded within the hour. He has created a very helpful digital welcome book which you receive access to after booking. He helped arranged excellent tours for us, all of which I would recommend - kayak tour of the mangrove, boat And snorkelling tour of the Gulf, a night walk and a trip to Corcovado. The house is very nice and is tastefully and comfortably furnished. The gas stove and oven took some figuring out but worked well. There is no microwave or dishwasher. The main floor is open to the air so there were some insects at night but using the fan and insect repellent helped. We would love to go back again.

Villa Jeremi
Utter perfection! The location is amazing, the house and surroundings are beautiful, and Hynrich was easily one of the friendliest hosts we’ve had the pleasure of meeting. The location of the house is in a more secluded area, with sea views in the back (including stairs and a ladder for snorkeling right in your “backyard”) and mountain views in the front. We even saw 3 deer in the neighborhood twice! The house was spotless upon arrival with extra amenities, including a welcome basket with snacks and drinks. Very thoughtful and makes you feel right at home. We were able to talk to Hynrich on a few occasions and he is beyond friendly and helpful! Even though there are neighbors nearby, their houses are set further back making everything feel very private. We spent most evenings grilling, sipping wine while in the pool or on the rooftop deck while watching the amazing sunsets with the soft sounds of reggae wafting through the air. Again, utter perfection and we can’t wait to return!

Private Complete Beach House, POOL+AC, Vichayito
Rodrigo was an excellent host; attentive and cordial in any requirement that was needed. I would definitely stay again.

Luxurious Beach House - Private Pool Golf & Marina
Our large family had a great stay. Plenty of room inside and outside to accommodate everyone. We loved the pool and outdoor BBQ area. Host was very quick to respond and resolved our issues. The house is beautiful but it does need some TLC to freshen everything up like it shows in all the pictures. The beach is like 10 min walk and doable and there is a calmer beach on one side and waves on the other side. They did tell us that we were not allowed to use the community pool that it was only for residents which was a little disappointing.

GRAND ADMIRAL BEACH HOUSE (*)
Excellent place, highly recommended, a private space facing the sea, the house is very cozy with all its services, we really had a good time. We were a large family and we were very satisfied, the atmosphere and nature lent themselves to spending a wonderful few days.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Beachfront 2 bedroom renovated apartment
Eduardo and Camille's flat is amazing and we had a perfect stay. With a breathtaking view, the place is beautifully decorated and spotless clean. The hosts are also very kind and responsive. I felt right at home and I will for sure be going back. 10/10.

*NEW* Modern Ocean Breeze King Suite Infinity Pool
Mahassa home was exactly what we wanted as exactly as she stated!!! When they greeted us immediately it felt like we were staying g with family. Even throughout our stay she answered questions we had even helped me when I thought I left something back at house. She made it a priority for her. I would 150% stay here again the next time we travel back to one happy place! Worth every dollar! Can’t say enough nice things about this host and her home.

Floating Penthouse with hot tub
We enjoyed our stay here, the host is very accommodating and responsive. Building security is very tight. I thought that this would hinder some fun for us but the host assured a great time and great experience for us. The pent house view is beautiful to wake up to every morning. It’s nice and bright with a beautiful view of the ocean. I believe the pics may have be taken at night. One tip I would leave them is to take more bright high quality pics. Other than that thank you for your hospitality! The Penthouse Cartagena experience was amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

De Lujo Frente al Mar-Sector Turistico Bocagrande.
Our stay was great! Fantastic view with nice amenities! Will be staying here again!

Luxury 1BR Bocagrande|OceanView|Pool|BeachAccess
This was quite literally the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The place was absolutely pristine, very well decorated, smelled amazing, and had every possible amenity you could need. I was very impressed with the set up and how luxurious the is place felt, extremely comfortable bed/pillows, and high quality towels for bath and pool. Will definitely only stay in Andre’s places in Cartagena if they hold this top of the line standard. Also if you need to wash/dry clothes this place has brand new washer/dryer which is rare for Colombia.

❤❤ Ocean Front Unit in Buzios – Praia Caravelas ❤❤
Insanely beautiful Airbnb and epics views! It was like a magazine. I would stay again!

Stunning Oceanfront Condo Playa Flamingo/ Conchal
Beautiful condo just a short walk from playa flamingo. We had a great time!

Dream Rio Beachfront PENTHOUSE❤️Breathtaking Views
We felt completely comfortable in the apartment. It corresponds exactly to the pictures and extends over three floors, which gives it a very special spatial effect. The location on the 13th floor is a bit unusual at first - especially because of the floor-to-ceiling, fully opening windows - but you will be rewarded with a spectacular view. Both the bedroom and the living room offer impressive panoramic views that make your stay a special experience. A small downside: A busy road runs nearby, the noise of which can be heard - especially when the window is open. The area scores with an excellent infrastructure: in just about 10 minutes on foot you can reach the vibrant nightlife with a large selection of restaurants and bars. There's something for everyone here - whether it's for dinner or a relaxing drink in the evening.
