Beachfront vacation rentals in Papagayo Peninsula

Casita by Lina was a little piece of heaven. It felt like our own little seaside abode. Very peaceful surroundings only steps from the beach. Tasteful decor inside & out. We will plan to stay again in the future.

We had a great stay at Dirk’s place. The area is very relaxing. Four restaurants nearby and a small mini mart. The house is right next to the entrance to the beach. The beach is spectacular. A few miles long, great surfing, wonderful sunsets, and not crowded compared to the beach at Tarmarindo. We stayed for two weeks. The first week we rented a car to do grocery shopping, etc. The second week we just relaxed using nearby restaurants and the beach. We enjoyed the pool when not at the beach. If you want to go to Tarmarindo it is about a 15 minute walk on the beach to the inlet that separates the two areas, you can then use the locals with their boats to cross. Cost $2 per person. Boats start at 8 and stop at 5. Dirk is a great host. He helped us with renting the car, and was generous with his recommendations. Look forward to returning.

We were able to spend 4 wonderful nights at this place! You'll feel like you're in paradise! The communication went very well, Béatrice and her husband were able to help us find a good taxi and notify us for the sighting of turtles! I highly recommend it and would not hesitate to come back!

We never met Juan Carlos but his property caretaker, Ana, and her family were extremely kind and helpful. The location is fantastic, steps from the most beautiful beach ever. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was well supplied. It was a little odd to have no living room area, but we didn't really need it with the beach right there.

Apartment was as described and air conditioning worked great! Easy to find key and Ruslan was very communicative whenever we needed anything.

If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful and private that’s also walking distance to the beach and local restaurants this is the perfect spot! Perfect for me as a solo traveller, felt very safe and was surrounded by nature and Caroline’s beautiful dogs which was an added treat to the stay! Highly recommended.

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!!

Great location great place great host right near a beautiful beach, which was absolutely stunning. Happy all round.

They were gone of us staying at Kenneth‘s place in Playa grande. Six siblings +3 wives. We loved the private Casitas that All enjoyed us a communal spaces which brought us together as a family kitchen was very well stocked with shockingly sharp knives, which is somewhat unheard of in Airbnb’s. I would highly recommend the thing that this beautiful Villa spread over such a large area area so full of birds, holler monkeys, iguanas, and a glorious array of flora wherever we looked. The beach is about a 10 minute walk away and no matter what time of day or what love love tide. It was such a beautifully diverse ecosystem to enjoy. The water was very accessible, even to some of us with mobility issues if you have a good size group of people, I highly highly recommend Villa luna grande. You will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to come back again to enjoy all of this.

We stayed here for a group birthday party of 12 adults and it fit our needs perfectly for our mix of couples and singles.
The area of Potrero was exactly what we wanted, not too busy, but with some good restaurants and a close by market for essentials. The house itself is at the end of a quiet street and very peaceful. The elevated pool is a really unique feature and we made good use of it to watch sunsets and generally relax. Marvin the caretaker kept the house very clean, and Alexa our host helped us arrange several excursions, as well as a private chef who cooked the birthday dinner, highly recommend! We did the following excursions: Rio Celeste tour, which included a trip to see sloths in a wildlife preserve; ziplines; a private yoga session on the patio overlooking the ocean; and a tour of a coffee roaster. All were excellent, with great tour guides / hosts, and the whole group loved them. Thank you so much for a great experience

Our family loved the location of Casa Circa Del Mar, it is wonderful being so close to the beach and not having to drive all the time . We also enjoyed the pool so much and had many wonderful meals outside on the Veranda . The house was amazing with so much space and has everything you need. The Host was very kind and always available and responsive. We were celebrating an 80th Birthday and she had decorations and candles for us which was very sweet.

Mary was prompt and helpful and gave great restaurant suggestions!! The home was gorgeous and exactly as pictured. We would definitely recommend this gorgeous home!! Best vacation ever. Thank you so much!!

Absolutely loved this place for our family of 6. The views are “million dollar” spectacular and the sunsets were unreal (we couldn’t stop taking sunset pictures every night from the deck). The space felt like home, we loved the kitchen and we used the pools a lot during our 9 days here. The 3 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms with decks all around gave us tons of space for our family to enjoy without feeling crowded. The kitchen is a beauty and we loved it all, especially the ocean view from the master shower! Wow! The only thing I’d suggest is grabbing groceries and especially meat and fruit before you get to the villa. There is shopping near by that you can walk to and amazing restaurants all around, but we also just wanted fruit and meat to make meals at home that we didn’t find in the closer grocery stores. We took Oxygen Transportation (in attached hotel) for a trip to Walmart, La Leona Waterfall and a day at Cocoa Beach. Our time at the villa was super peaceful & we highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Pipa! The home was exactly as advertised. Iris was so easy to work with; helped with dinner reservations. Excellent guide/resource book emailed prior to arrival. Manfred the local house manager was so nice to work with, orient us to the home, and make us feel welcome immediately. We enjoyed Manfred's homemade pastries; so delicious! The home is very clean and comfortable. We found the beds and pillows very comfortable. So private and the private beach access was just magical! Was so nice to go through the gate, walk a beautiful little forest path, to find the amazing beach and Pacific ocean!!! Any questions; answered immediately. Just a total chill place for ultimate relaxation while being able to walk the neighborhood and enjoy the lovely small restaurants and market. We didn't rent a car and didn't feel the need for one. Our driver brought us to the supermarket before our arrival so we had everything we needed; the home, pool, beach!! Thank you!!!

Our stay at Jarrod’s place was incredible! Best vacation house you could ask for. Perfect location right on the beach but still super private. Having a swimming pool right on the ocean is about as good as it gets, we usually spend most of our vacation time at the beach but this house was so great we wound up spending more time by the pool. Also the house is stocked very well, everything an Airbnb/rental house should have this house has. Jarrod was very accommodating and helped us with transportation and Covid testing at the house. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Playa Negra area! We will definitely be coming back!

Loved the house and location. Extremely well-equipped kitchen and some refreshments waiting for us in the fridge. RCV arranged a guided tour for us at Rincon de la Vieja National Park for one day (including lunch, zip-lining, and the hot springs & mud baths) that was a lot of fun. Had dinner the first night at Father Rooster's on Ocotal Beach just down the hill from the house. We did a little cooking and used the bbq grill for a couple meals. There were a couple small problems: water was not turned on for one of the showers downstairs, the gas was not turned on for the stove (just had to open the valve on the propane tank on the other side of the wall from the stove), the A/C would trip off in the second bedroom upstairs, and the dishwasher wouldn't operate. RCV sent people promptly to address the issues, but unfortunately the dishwasher needed a new control board and couldn't be fixed during our stay. We would definitely stay in this house again.

A very spacious house, in an excellent location. The beach is a beautiful and the sunsets are magical. Ideal to go with family and children. Close to everything, but at the same time super private. Would come back without hesitation

We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to visit again. The house is in the perfect location- a short walk to town and just steps from the beach. We also all fell in love with Missy. She is the sweetest dog. The owners are very responsive to any questions. They met us there to check in and even messaged me with restaurant and grocery store recommendations.

Maria’s house was perfect for our vacation! The location of the house created an experience like no other. The house was a wonderful setting for our group of 9 to enjoy the beach and the pool while feeling safe and peaceful. Listening to the monkeys early in the morning and then seeing them in the backyard trees was amazing. Maria’s recommendation for catering gave us the opportunity to enjoy homemade, authentic Costa Rican food. I can’t even begin to tell you how much we all enjoyed the food but the guacamole and nachos were delicious! The location was far enough away to offer a peaceful setting but still close enough for us to get around on our rented golfcart. Our next stay in Costa Rica will be at Maria’s house for sure.

Our group had the most wonderful vacation at the Golden Sunset Villa. First off, the photos do not do justice the view is even more amazing and impossible to describe. It felt like being on a movie set! The villa was very spacious and open and well laid out for a group. It was also well stocked with all the dishes and cooking gear and even beach towels that you will need. Communication with the hosts was excellent. The pool on our deck was the perfect touch but you are also just steps away from the big resort pool with swim up bar. Location is great we rented a car and drove to the Castillo de Lilo for their incredible dining experience as well as a day at Vandara Springs thermal resort. The trams run often down to the beach, and we had some great boogie boarding at our beach and ate at all the restaurants in walking distance. I could go on and on, but I will just say if you are considering renting this villa...do it.

The house & location are amazing, you literally feel like you have your own beach in the middle of paradise, but also all of the conveniences you need like a variety restaurants, grocery store, convenience stores and even a hardware store are only less than a 5 minute drive away. The baby turtle sanctuary is only a 5 minute drive away and we got to see one of my bucket lists, we got to release baby turtles and watch them waddle their way to the ocean! The whole house had a water filter and reverse osmosis water so we were able to have safe and wonderful drinking water the entire trip and saved loads of money just refilling our water w/ regular cheap water bottles that we bought day one some of us brought our Yeti/Stanley cups. The pool is a perfect dip pool for when you get hot, and at low tide, which is everyday. The smooth sandy beach is a dream! We looked at tons of other beachfront properties but this was the only one that actually had a sandy swimmable beach! House is perfect!

Great spot in Tamarindo! My husband and I and 2 kids (12 and 14) spent 5 nights. The house was as described. It was about a 10 min walk to Lagosta Beach Club, where we spent a couple afternoons at the pool, beach and dining. We had rented a car but ended up also renting a golf cart for the last two days. It was so much easier to get around with the golf cart and the kids loved it! The food in TAMARINDO was great! We ate at Red Door, Pangas and some other smaller places and every meal was fresh and delicious. We chartered a boat for a day of deep sea fishing. We caught 2 sail fish and a Marlin. It was a great time. Lots to do and we don’t regret a minute of our stay!

Casa Sundog is amazing! The concierge team was top notch from beginning to end. They were super communicative and provided great recommendations. The house was impressive to say the least and exceeded our expectations. This was the perfect stay for our family of 10 and made my parents 50th anniversary very memorable.

The place was perfect as expected, photos and descriptions. The view was wonderfull, direct on the beach. It was nice to fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. We were 9 adultes, we all felt like at home. The host were exceptionel and always helpfull. Thanks for everything !
