House vacation rentals in Costa Rica

We had the loveliest time at this beachfront house. The pool is gorgeous - not too warm or cold. It was so refreshing to relax in the pool and stare at the waves. The house is in the best part of Esterillos, right in front of the “mermaid” and the tide pools. The house is well designed and makes use of all the spaces. It was clean and well equipped. You can also walk to the nearby store and there are a few good restaurants just a block or two away walking along the beach. It was an amazing place to share with family, we will be back!

Such a perfect little spot for us on our way to San Jose. Loved the convenient location and ease of getting in and out. The house is super thoughtful and well designed with lots of light, nice kitchen and bath and a beautiful green space out back. Very peaceful at night and it felt very secure with the car behind a big gate. We will be back. Thank you! Recommended!

It was a great place to stay beautiful area and near everything. The recommendations Anya sent us for restaurants were really good and I had to recommend trying some of them.

We had such a lovely time staying at Casa De Celeste. The property was absolutely gorgeous and in close proximity to town and adventures. It was the perfect getaway before our wedding. The caretaker Vincente was so kind and very helpful. He truly made the place feel like home. We will return and are looking forward to that day. I highly recommend this property.

Excellent stay, Excellent service, friendly people beautiful setting and very comfortable. Loved everything about it!!!❤️👍🏼👍🏼

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.

We enjoyed this beautiful, clean, home.

Everything was great: the location, the house, the amenities; even the weather! Gary was an awesome host! Highly recommended!

Our week stay in June was one of the best experiences ever in a STR. You GetHere property managers met us at the property, showed us how to use the amenities and were responsive to any questions. The home is beyond comparison. A rough drive up ( typical for CR) but after the first few times it is easy. Quality and cleanliness of the home was unmatched. We will be back. We used the suggested massage service and had them set up on the Zen deck. Very good deep tissue massage by professionals. We saw many of the other rentals we looked at and were glad that we picked this home.

This is such a beautiful, comfortable, and clean home with wonderful views. We spent 6 nights exploring Atenas, and this home is convenient to town and several other attractions. The hostess has a book for guests with great suggestions for what to do and see while in Atenas.

Perfection. Absolute perfection. The other reviews are spot on. Just book it already. The views can’t be beat and no picture can do it justice. Everywhere you look it is beautiful and magical: the jungle sounds, the sunsets, the amazing flora and fauna, the details and thoughtful touches. It is so perfect it is almost overwhelming. Every day, I couldn’t believe I was there. And the hosts! They are amazing! They are genuinely kind and generous, not that fake used car salesman nice. They are the real deal. Anything they recommend, just do it. Use their concierge service and do everything! You can’t go wrong. We would have stayed longer and plan to go back soon.

Barbara and John were literally the kindest people in Costa Rica you could stay with. Our toddler, the biggest food critic of them all loved every food recommendation we received. He danced to the music in restaurants and was welcomed with love by locals. The home is so private, relaxing, beautifully decorated, everyone in our family felt at home here. We cooked in the kitchen and found it fully equipped and easy to cook for a group. We loved watching monkeys swaying on neighboring trees and birds singing each morning near the large deck. We slept so peacefully in their comfortable large beds every night and the space was quite large so our kiddo got to get his wiggles out. Their pool was the perfect temperature everyday and large enough you could do laps. John provided such a throughout and very legit surf lesson. Overall we LOVED this home and it was well worth the journey into this cool little surf town. - Christina

What an amazing home!!! The pool was absolutely beautiful. The home felt private and safe. The kitchen was well equipped and the home was just as described. We absolutely loved our stay here and would 100% return!

Jenn and Danny have created an incredibly tranquil, relaxing, and private experience with this property - I cannot recommend it enough. The bungalow itself is modern, clean, well-designed, and overall a comfortable stay for multiple days. The outdoor area is the true stand out - we had an abundance of amenities to enjoy, from the pool to the rustic hot tub to the hiking trails ending in gorgeous rainforest and mountain views. The property is well-maintained by the staff, and the greenery is breathtaking and full of color (the pictures don’t do it justice!). Jenn and Danny were incredibly responsive and proactive in their communication, and even stayed up to ensure we checked in okay after a late flight. The bungalow is a ways off of the main road, so be sure to download maps for offline use and take it slow on the bumpy roads, but the drive itself is beautiful and a unique experience in itself. We truly enjoyed every part of our stay, and cannot wait to return! Thanks again!!

We had an amazing stay! This place was the perfect spot for a getaway with friends. The amenities were top-notch, everything was clean and well-maintained, and the view was absolutely stunning. We spent most of our time just soaking it all in. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!

Such a great property with relaxing and beautiful views. Got a chance to see lots of different birds and butterflies right on the property even heard some monkeys but they were far away. Over all a great place to stay if you just want to get away and be around nature

This home was beautiful, and the view unmatched! Oscar was so responsive and helpful with our very many requests. He gave local recommendations and booked anything we needed, even on short notice. It felt like our home away from home. We would definitely stay at this house again when we are back in town.

Truly a stunning home in a very quiet, upscale cul-de-sac community. Views were breathtaking, and the home well-equipped for lazy days without big agendas. Dominical is cute and inviting, with plenty to eat and a solid infrastructure for booking adventures of multiple varieties. Sensitive travelers might want to be advised that power and water outages are part of the realities of living in such a gorgeous, remote location. Mattresses are quite firm, with the loft bed probably best suited to a child or other floor-friendly individual. Kitchen was not particularly well-appointed, so bring oil/butter and perhaps even a favorite chef's knife if you plan to cook in. Local farmer's markets do make this an appealing option, although local restaurants were generally quite decent, even coming from NYC. Above all, this is a truly impressive holiday experience, mainly for the incredible views from all floors and the abundance of wildlife right in your own back-yard. Highly recommended.

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away! The place was exactly as pictured—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and filled with thoughtful touches that made it feel like home (but better!). The host was incredibly responsive and kind, offering local tips and going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Fantastic, home,host,town,views,wildlife sightings, hands down one of the best locations we’ve ever stayed. Secluded but still plenty to do. Book this- you will not be disappointed. Enjoyed the adventure, and we highly recommend. Pictures are great but everything is even better in person. The house has everything you need! Plus more! -Pura Vida

Casa Azul was an absolute gem. The villa is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly positioned with a breathtaking view overlooking the water and scenery. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the property was unforgettable. The home is well-maintained and designed for total relaxation—everything about it felt serene and welcoming. If you’re looking for a scenic, tranquil getaway, Casa Azul is the perfect choice.

Our family stayed for ten nights as a home base to explore the Pacific side of Costa Rica. The pool was fantastic! I especially enjoyed the bottom pool that doubles as hot tub (when my kids weren't in the upper half splashing the cold water into it). The pool is very large with lots of space for splashing, and there is so much wildlife and bird-watching off of the amazing porch and decks. We were mesmerized by the scarlet macaws that flew by and sometimes roosted nearby. Being in the mountains, you are literally in the clouds. It was other-worldly when they rolled in most afternoons. So cool! Indoors: we utilized the kitchen quite frequently, making dinner every night. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies for cooking. The living area was very comfortable and great for watching TV together in the evening. Bathrooms and bedrooms were well-appointed with what we needed, and the washer/dryer was great to have, as we are light packers and did get muddy some days. Overall a wonderful stay!

It is hard to describe the beauty of this house. We were absolutely stunned. Each morning was a gift to walk outside to that view. We were so glad that this was the end of our trip and we had built in some R&R. A word of advice… don’t plan so much that you don’t have time to enjoy the house. We used the pool, sat outside and watched the clouds come in, grilled some wonderful steak and just enjoyed la pura vida!

Such a special place where we were warmly welcomed like family. Anyara took us on a tour of the beautiful property and showed us the frogs. The family has created such a wonderful refuge, full of life and beauty. Our lodging was comfortable and clean. We got a great night sleep and had a fabulous morning exploring more of the property. We received recommendations for dining that proved to be top-notch. We were only able to spend one night and wish we had more. Came as guests and left as friends. I will come back to Costa Rica just to spend more time here. Worth stopping even for one night. Magic!
