Private Beach Front Villa
The best Airbnb we have ever stayed in - and we have stayed in over 50 Airbnbs. This was our 2nd time back and we were blown away this time just as much as our first visit! The house is the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed in. There is daily cleaning and care for the home. Outside, inside, dishes, laundry, you name it. The caretaker Vicente makes this house a home. We CANNOT say enough about him. He is one of the kindest humans and so helpful. We feel comfortable, safe, and valued when we stay here because of him. Our kids love Vicente and even cry when we leave. He helps with excursions, security, questions, and maintains our privacy impeccably while still being close if needed. The location is unbeatable. Far enough out of town to have peace and quite but close enough you can walk to Santa Theresa by beach. Everything is amazing here and we recommend to everyone visiting Costa Rica.

Fantastic Ocean View Penthouse in Punta Leona
We had a great time here with my kids and mother. Loved seeing the scarlet macaws in the trees around sunset. The nearby beach is also beautiful.

Villa Mantas: New Pinilla/4 BR/5 min to beach.
We had a fantastic stay at this beach house in Costa Rica. The home was beautifully designed, clean, and thoughtfully appointed — everything felt comfortable and well-maintained. What truly made this experience stand out was the incredible support from the hosts. They went above and beyond, helping us plan our entire trip, from local recommendations to coordinating activities and transportation. Their help made everything easy and stress-free. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-supported getaway in Costa Rica.

House with a swimming pool 700 meters from Playa Santa Teresa
We absolutely loved the house! The pool was great, and we were surrounded by beautiful nature. Our hosts were always communicative and helpful. We would definitely suggest getting a 4WD. They mention this in the listing, but the mention can be a little hard to find. The hill is pretty steep and it’s best to drive it.

Quinta Hernandezii, Fraijanes de Poás.
Loved our short stay! We were close to Poas National Park, Waterfalls and coffee farms! The place is immaculate and she is very helpful and responsive if there are any issues. We were grateful for the wine she left us and my kids loved the chickens and play area. My husband liked exploring the creek out back. The restaurants in the area are great too.

Colonial Palace (2)
Our stay at Elisabeth and Michael's home was fantastic! We felt as though we had stepped back in time to the early 1900's. They have done an amazing job restoring the place while retaining the original character. Their home is truly a work of art. While there are a few modern conveniences one might find missing, we had everything we needed, were very comfortable and felt completely at home. Michael's breakfast was wonderful and he was always ready to help in every way possible. Our conversations with our hosts were captivating and one of the hi lights of our time in Costa Rica! It is quite apparent that Elisabeth and Michael love Puntarenas and Costa Rica. That affection is quite contagious and we found ourselves more in love with their country having visited with them in their home for a few days and would definitely stay with them again.

Ojochal Sea View – Pickleball and Private Pool
This mountaintop Airbnb made for an unforgettable first trip to Costa Rica. It is very secluded and the sounds of nature made it very peaceful. The ocean views from the infinity pool were incredible. We agree with the previous reviews that the photos can’t capture the serenity of this Airbnb. Cecile and her husband (owners) were residing in their house on the property during our stay and were extremely friendly and accommodating. The drive up and down is an adventure (that we really enjoyed!) Cecile includes very helpful instructions with photos to find it. A 4x4 car is an absolute necessity to get around in the Ojochal/Uvita area. There is so much to do nearby including lots of waterfalls (three of the four we visited were just a 2-minute walk to get to them!), guided night hiking, a day trip to Corcovado National Park, zip lines, etc. There are lots of yummy restaurants nearby and the kitchen has cooking essentials so we cooked for ourselves several times. We can’t wait to come back!

Casa Dulce ~ Villa Terrones (Sweet House)
This is such a gem of a place to stay if visiting the Puerto Jiménez area. We felt right at home immediately. We saw a diversity of wildlife right at the property. Would recommend 100%.

In search of peace?
Fantastic from start to finish. This spot is a hidden gem. Cristian is a most gracious and friendly host, a delightful human being. We felt life family by the time we left. The space is immaculate. Everything about the accommodations has been done with care. This is the kind of place to go if you want a experience of real Costa Rica. And to top it off, five minutes walking up the road is a gorgeous waterfall! If you want to go to Irazu Volcano from Cristian's place, stick to the main roads as Google Maps may try to take you on a "shorter" route that you will regret. Highly recommended!

3 Bedroom 8 Guests Beach Access Hacienda Pinilla
Our stay was wonderful! The villa is beautifully renovated and well equipped. The host was responsive and attentive. Absolutely recommend staying here. We’ve been visiting Hacienda Pinilla for 4 years and this is our favorite area, it’s quiet and has access to Bonita beach which is beautiful!

#2 Rita & Sonny Beach Apartment
What a great location and atmosphere and the Studio and garden is perfect with all necesities for a true beachfront vacation .. Definitely one of our best stays in Costa Rica. Sonny and Rita are the nicest most welcoming people! We will be back again as their Airbnb is a mew destination for us!!

Queen Studio w/ kitchenette & private terrace
It is a very healthy area, easily moves where you want to go and everything is within reach, restaurant and shops in general

Private Jungle Loft in Playa Cocles
I stayed at Manu’s jungle loft for 3 weeks and had a wonderful time. The space is comfortable and rustic, with wonderful views and a very comfortable bed. The beaches nearby are some of the best in the world, and it’s very easy to walk to nearby restaurants or grab a TukTuk any time. Manu and Lucas were kind and gracious hosts. I hope to stay again!

Beautiful and cozy beach apartment!
Very comfortable location with a lot of accessibility to do different activities and rest. The possibility of using the kayak and paddle board is very advantageous given how close the lake is where you can take advantage

Brand New beachfront condo|Jaco Surf & vibes
The Airbnb was perfect. In an up and coming area. Looks exactly like the photos, beach front access, close to many stores and restaurants. Quick access to the main road to get out of Jaco. I would highly recommend to everyone to stay here. I would definitely book again.

Beautiful Cozy House/nice garden-near to the beach
Gissel's house is a cute jungle home! The green yard in the front is super peaceful and the front patio is an awesome place to hang out during any time of the day. It's also well located just a minute away from the Costanera so you can easily access Uvita or Domi when needed.

Magic River House
Beautiful house Comfortable and plenty of room Huge garden with ranch and pool and is next to a beautiful river I'd definitely come back

Casita Canto del Jilguero (Goldfinch Song)
Good value, nice well maintained clean house with an electric gate, perimeter fence and multiple security cameras. Nice sheltered outdoor areas for sitting and dining on a rainy day. There is a river and mountain with tropical forest rising up behind the house. Old style electric shower head. It can be quite hot if you keep the flow of water low. Nice screened windows for good cross ventilation. Quite cool at night so no need for AC. Spent one morning at Blue Falls which was truly amazing. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils, air fryer, microwave and outdoor grill. Ran out of propane for the stove but Daniela sent over a full tank within an hour.

Cottage in Laguna Hule, fully equipped
We came pretty late, the last 50 meters is necessary drive very slowly, but the place itself simply famous. No neighbours, beautiful terraces, tiny but wery comfy. It is such an special place, really quite, with special vibe. No matter how far it seems to be from the village.

Encanto Lodge: Tapir Cabin
Sabrina & Edu couldn’t have been better hosts! Their “end of the world” paradise is quiet & peaceful. Their home cooked meals were delicious & plentiful. The bungalows had thick netting so we could feel the cool night air as we slept. It was fabulous to wake up to all of the birdsongs every morning, They made a special effort to show us birds & animals. We really enjoyed the use of their boat to explore the River where their diverse ecosystem shines in the jungle. We also liked taking the boat on the lagoon to the beach. If you want a quiet and peaceful getaway, this is the place. However, Sabrina is happy to help you with any tours (and there are quite a few to choose from). We will always treasure our time here. :)

Casa kona kai, Pavones CR
This was our family’s 5th trip to Pavones . We like to try different places and locations . Giselle’s home was beautiful , spacious and very comfortable. We had a smaller group and it didn’t feel overwhelming as it’s a big place . Outdoor spaces were amazing , and a quick walk to essentially a private beach . (Only saw 1 person over 8 days ) a short walk to La Pina restaurant for a pizza or dinner and only 3-5 minutes from various spots near Pavones point. I will say this was perhaps the most well equipped kitchen and linens we have experienced yet . Oliver the caretaker was quite helpful and his English is fair . Overall a very positive experience. Pura Vida Steven

"Welcome to your mountain home!"
Beautiful and comfortable house with incredible views. Our family had a great stay and look forward to coming back. Laura is a great host, very responsive

Beautiful country house with a pool 🍃
Melissa was an amazing, proactive, and friendly host. After a disastrous situation with another host, Melissa accepted our last-minute request for booking. Due to the late hour, heavy rain, and limited internet while driving, it was difficult to find the location the first time, so I recommend arriving during daylight hours. Melissa's instructions, photos, and videos are perfect for finding the home. We absolutely loved the home! It is such a quiet, peaceful, and serene location. I enjoyed all the birds in the area and hearing the howler monkeys in the mornings and evenings. There is no hot water, which is the norm for the area. Melissa sent friendly messages a few times during our stay to make sure things were going well, which I appreciated. We all loved staying here and would stay again when we return to the area.
