Vacation rentals with a hot tub in Coco

We had the best time! We had a few small plumbing issues, Joel was immediately responsive and problems were solved within an hour. Restaurants: Rustico, Rural (Tamarindo), Lola’s. Beaches: playa Flamingo & Playa Avellana were our favorites. House is super family friendly with the open concept.

We traveled seeking a very private and secluded place to do some healing working and book writing as well. And Casa Skov did not dissapoint! Incredible place to truly get away from it all. At night the stars in the sky are so bright, you feel you can reach out and touch them. The sunrises and sunsets are unbeatable over such a sweeping, beautiful view. The house itself is beautiful clean and very modern. Good hot water, water pressure and all the things you want in a home (kitchen very stocked, plenty of dishes, towels, comfortable beds, even some sunscreen and other beach items!). The host was incredibly responsive, never leaving more than 5 minutes before responding back about anything (even our questions about the property or our curiosity about local signs and animals that they graciously answered). Anything you want they will help you with. Lovely place and lovely people. Highly recommend.

Beautiful house in the heart of Tamarindo. We spent 4 nights at Arbel's and enjoyed every minute of it. The house and kitchen were all stocked with what we needed for making meals. It's only a short walk to all the restaurants and beach, so making a quick trip back to the house for lunch or in case you left something is easy.

Good location, right by the airport!

We had a great stay! The place was nice, clean, and just about 300 feet from the beach, with several other beaches nearby as well. The hosts were very friendly, responsive, and gave us a warm welcome. Highly recommend!

This place was absolutely flawless. The beauty of the views, the pools, the shuttles were perfect! We cannot say enough kind words about his service and the home. His communication is amazing. He even gave us a wonderful recommendation for snorkeling and we had a blast.

This is the best choice if you want beauty, peace, and seclusion. The property stands at the top of a mountain at the end of a private road with a security gate protecting the only entrance to the property. The villa is spacious, and the grounds are vast. Every detail reminds you of the great sense of taste you have. We swam in the pool three times a day for an entire month. It was unbelievable! Roberto, our property keeper, was very helpful and generous with his time and over time became a good friend. He was able to help us locate anything we needed whenever we needed it. As others have stated you’ll want a 4x4 to get up and down the mountain as there are many steep loose gravel roads. Be prepared to see many lovely geckos on the patio at night and keep an eye on “Ralph” the large Iguana who walks around the property looking for sliced apples (you’ll want to provide the apples). Hands down the best AirBnb stay of my life! 10/10

The outdoor space in the house is absolutely wonderful! Spent a lot of time in the pool, hot tub, and lounging in the hammock. We had some difficultly finding the place and Jennifer was very helpful. We used Google Maps with no problem in La Fortuna, but I would use Waze here. The house has a ton of security features which made us feel super safe. It’s a great location to the nearby beaches and the grocery store. The house could use a little TLC (some kitchen cabinets falling apart, doors that don’t latch well, toilet paper holders that were loose, and could use a paint job), but none of these things took away from our wonderful time at this house and we would definitely return. Pura Vida!

This villa was very spacious and relaxing. The kitchen and gas grill allowed for us to make some meals at home which we enjoyed. It was always handy to catch one of the shuttle buses to get around the complex… Or sometimes we would just walk either was fine. We enjoyed some karaoke and the hotel pool. The beach was so quiet and serene, and we were able to do some fun activities straight from there. We had one glitched with a shower that did not drain, but our host did everything she could to get the service people in there and fix it as soon as possible. We enjoyed our stayed very much even the wildlife that walks around your backyard!!

Casa Serendipity was pure magic for our family. As a wellness practitioner and mama of two little ones, I’ve stayed in many places—but this was truly a sanctuary. Mariela is the most incredible host—like a 24/7 concierge angel. From airport pick-up, car rental, grocery tips, to curated local gems—she thought of everything. The home is stunning, spacious, and incredibly private, yet perfectly located to easily explore the best beaches, restaurants, and adventures. We woke to birdsong, made meals in the outdoor kitchen, lounged by the pool, and even picked fresh mangoes. It was peaceful, secure, and deeply nourishing. Every detail supported ease and connection. After full days exploring, it felt like coming home to serenity. I would stay here every time—we’re already dreaming of our return. Mariela, thank you for creating this heart-centered haven. Our whole family had the best vacation. You’ve set the bar for hospitality, and we are forever grateful. See you soon. Pura Vida!

Hotel Balu was so lovely. We wish we had more time there to enjoy the casita’s space. The coffee machine was amazing and so were the outdoor amenities. Absolutely recommend!

Our group of two families (4 adults, 4 kids) couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while in Costa Rica. The design, decor and space were all top notch (we felt like we living in a magazine) and the service from the management company was above and beyond. Kids and adults all loved the space and nearby beach club amenities. Highly recommend golf carts for transportation around the resort and to nearby restaurants. We felt super safe and spoiled the whole time. Thanks for a great stay and for taking such good care of us!

We had a wonderful time! The place was exactly as pictured, clean and had great views! The activities and pool were only a short walk. Lots of nearby restaurants and shopping. I would absolutely recommend staying at Stephen’s place!

The view of this house was breathtaking. We enjoyed visiting the town of Tamarindo & seeing the sunset. If you are looking for authentic Costa Rican food make sure to visit the Sodas (what all their small restaurants are called). We enjoyed every single one of them & are very reasonably priced. We visited playa Conchal which was my favorite beach & not far but also did the Leona waterfall hike and zip lining which was so much fun & beautiful. After our activities we were able to come home to our fresh and clean airbnb and dip in the pool then end the night with Netflix or a TV series. We didn’t have the swing which would’ve been a nice photo prop, but that’s alright. We hope to come back again but with our family or friends, we love Costa Rica so much. My husband really bonded with John the security & would enjoy their night talks. We loved how he greeted us with a smile. We will miss him. Gracias amigo y saludos. Thank you Jaime for being so kind and responsive throughout our stay.

Three generations of our family (parents, children and grandchildren) spent 9 days in the Villa enjoying the pool, patio and roomy house. Our cleaner kept the house incredibly clean. The gardener did the same for the pool and yard. The well equipped kitchen had everything we required. The beach chairs and snorkelling equipment was put to good use. We can’t say enough about Ilse. She responded to our questions very effectively. We were very pleased to meet her in person when we arrived at the Villa on the first day and not just exchange texts as so often happens with Air BnB rentals. All in all, we enjoyed swimming or simply lazing in the yard. On other occasions we took day trips to several national park, beaches and zip lining. It was a relaxing holiday in a gorgeous setting. Father Rooster was the perfect setting to celebrate two birthdays. We recommend Villa Alicia for your home away from home.

We had an amazing stay this location! The condo was incredibly comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The location was perfect - close to restaurants and the beach. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

The place is very conveniently located, 12 minutes from Playa Avellanas and about 30 minutes from Tamarindo. The hosts are amazing and Gabriel, in particular, is super open to making sure the customer is comfortable…for example, after check-out we went to the beach. Since we got covered in sand, we asked him if he would allow us to use some showers that were in the Airbnb parking area. Gabriel very kindly allowed us to use it, and even let us use the bathrooms of the place before we left for San José again.

A nice house, big, fulll equipped. I recommend it Ac in all bedrooms

Great lodging here. The treehouse is charming and full of character. The surroundings are filled with nature and beautiful animals (including the separate and well-attended doggie rescue). This was a very pleasant retreat and I would return there if I was back in that side of Guanacaste. Also, the beaches are close from a driving perspective.
