Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Costa Rica

This was our second time staying at this beautiful home and we actually changed our travel dates based on the times it was available...it's that nice. The view is probably the best in Playas del Coco and the property is super-private. The second bedroom is secluded at the end of the house with it's own entrances so people staying with you will have their own privacy. The house is walking distance to town and the beach but because it is at the top of a hill, the climb could be a challenge for some people. But it is a cheap taxi ride from the beach so really not an issue. Jeannyna is great with communication regarding instructions and house policy and she responds quickly if you have any issues. There is not a bad thing that I can say about this property and we will stay hear again and again.

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.

Awesome facility! It was exactly as described. Very quiet. very private, and very safe. The pool is definitely what stood out the most. It was very relaxing. Norwin thought of everything! He was very helpful. We saw a lot of hummingbirds. The bedroom was ample size with plenty of storage. We enjoyed our stay there immensely and look forward to returning.

Beautiful property! Our family had a wonderful stay. Marlen was a very nice host and responsive to all our needs. We would highly recommend staying here. You get the secluded mountain feel while being close to the airport.

Absolutely fabulous host and stay. Sophie is extremely detail oriented and leaves no stone unturned. From the moment we booked, to our departure she was thorough and precise. The home was very peaceful and very well maintained and exactly as described. We all loved the patio and the shared pool and community area. As an extra treat, my two daughters were able to do a short painting session with Sophie at the end of our stay. Great stay for families or couples looking to get a bit off the beaten path and enjoy a tranquil environment. Would definitely recommend this host and this home when visiting Playa Grande. Local guide book and FAQ's were also helpful.

We were all so excited when we arrived. The house and the view were exactly what the photos showed. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, looking at the amazing view around us. The restaurants near us were all great. Karen the owner and Olmer the concierge were great at responding to our questions. We would definitely love to go back!!

Our flight was delayed and Giulio met us in the dead of night and guided us to his place and then his lovely wife made us a late dinner. The view alone is worth staying here! One of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had!

this place was exactly or even better than expected! the view was amazing and you can hear the oceans waves crashing at night which I did not expect! they also helped us line up local activities at good prices. great value

Great studio room located in Marvista. Very close to Flamingo beach. Trails right out your back door and a gym that's only a 4 min walk away. Room had everything we needed for my husband and I. Colleen is a very responsive host and made everything very easy. Would stay again.

My stay was brief but I was well taken care of by Evelin and appreciated her prompt communication. The location was great and the apartment has an awesome view above the city

The location and the tower were incredible, many options to eat nearby and the pool was very nice. The apartment itself was a little tight for 3 people but very nice and well maintained. The only thing is that there is no air conditioning and it was very hot. The sofa bed was a little uncomfortable but everything else was great!

Gabriel is a great host, very proactive and responsive. The surroundings have plenty restaurants and it's easy to get around, and the place itself is very private. Very recommendable.

Vera was recommended to us by our relocation team, whom we have hired to help us move. She has been in Costa Rica a long time and gave us some incredible advice and went out of her way to make us feel right at home 🏡

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb — the views were absolutely breathtaking, and waking up to the sound of capuchin monkeys in the mornings was a surreal and unforgettable experience. The space itself was clean, comfortable, and well thought out — everything we needed for a relaxing jungle escape. One thing to note: you’re in the jungle, and that comes with some trade-offs. We did have quite a few bugs find their way inside — at one point, hundreds gathered on a wall. It wasn’t ideal, but honestly not surprising given the location. Also, the walk down to the Airbnb includes a bit of a trek with stairs, so be prepared for a small hike in and out. That said, the peaceful setting, stunning nature, and wildlife made it all 100% worth it. If you’re looking for a real Costa Rican jungle experience with a touch of comfort and great scenery, this place delivers. Would absolutely recommend — just bring bug spray and good shoes!

Very kind, all the people I dealt with. I would definitely come back

Don’t look any further. I am still dreaming of that hammock overlooking the beautiful jungle. So comfortable room in this cozy b&b. Didn’t have a chance to try the breakfast! But it looked great! If you’re still not convinced, look at the hammock once more. Thanks for hosting!

The place was exactly what we needed for our vacation. It was convenient and in a quiet safe place away from the hustle and bustle from the down town of Coco. We had a car and a parking spot and we were a few blocks away from the closest restaurant. We were the only ones there for the week. The other units were not occupied and we had the pool to our selves. The pool was nice to cool off at the end of the day. The unit had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked great.

The accommodation was beautiful, in peaceful surroundings. A short walk to the beach, restaurants and cafés. We enjoyed our stay so much!

I stayed here for a month and absolutely loved it. The studio space is compact but has everything you need. It’s on the 28 floor with wonderful views over the city. The real beauty of the building though is the top floor (29) that has incredible shared amenity spaces. The coworking space is perfect. Very fast connection and lots of room to spread out, I’m an architect and had multiple monitors set up. The shared living room and other spaces were so relaxing. I felt like I was at home, but in a wonderfully luxurious space. The other residents were open and generous and quickly became friends who I will remain in contact with. I was sad to leave and will definitely be back.

I stay in this apartment frequently when traveling through San José. The amenities and neighborhood are both wonderful

What a find! We loved the views, the modern vibe of the building and unit, and its location. What a great few days. We will definitely be back!

Our family loved this airbnb . Very relaxing peaceful location . Especially enjoyed the private outdoor shaded space with hammock and our own pool . Well equipped kitchen , comfortable beds , daily cleaning services . Would recommend without hesitation . Thank you Alvaro !

Great host. Very quick to respond. Clean condo with beautiful views of San Jose city. It’s a must. Jorge is a great guy. Beautiful place.

Spyridon was super helpful, friendly and responsive! We had an issue with our apartment that was solved immediately. The place is beautiful, common areas like the pool are really well maintained and the property is stunning. We loved the fact that we had daily housekeeping service included, they did an amazing job and there is nothing like coming back after a long day to a spotless home when you're on vacation! I also noticed that they keep security 24/7 in the property and that made us feel super safe. We felt super taken care of and would definitely come back! :) On a side note, I will advise that you rent a 4x4, the roads in Santa Teresa are really bad and the dirt road leading up to the Airbnb was super steep, muddy and bumpy - a normal car would struggle. On a positive note this place is super close to the main road and the main beaches and tons of restaurants and a supermarket, so you can walk everywhere whilst staying there.
