House with a swimming pool 700 meters from Playa Santa Teresa

GabrielaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Suggestion for tenants: the car really needs to be 4X4!! The place is beautiful, I don't know how to explain how beautiful it is...but the entrance and exit is extremely difficult if you don't have a 4X4, and if you use the transport or "taxis" that are here in Santa Teresa, the foreigners charge you up to 16,000 colones ($31.50) for a 2 min round trip, in my opinion the transport is very expensive haha. But overall it's a beautiful place! We will definitely return in the summer to enjoy the area and the house more. Thank you Alvaro, always for your kindness and attention. You were the best Host,🙂‍↕️🥹 the truth is we had a very good experience. We saw monkeys, we enjoyed the pool, even taking a shower with the forest in view was refreshing! We loved it!

Ojochal Sea View – Pickleball and Private Pool

PatRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Cecile and Carla are the most welcoming hosts who made our stay very enjoyable. The property is stunning - we especially loved the pickleball court and infinity pool. This place is perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing retreat away. There’s a lot to do in the neighboring towns but also a lot to do should you want more of a staycation experience given how expansive and beautiful her place is. While it can be difficult to learn the way up the mountain initially, Cecile was incredibly helpful and the roads held up well despite the rain. She anticipated our every need such as ensuring we had spare lamps in case of power outages with storms that are typical in Costa Rica. Please follow her instructions and get that 4x4! Also know that it is at least a 4hr drive from SJO. I highly recommend booking at least a week long stay here - it’s truly a jungle oasis with the best hosts who make you feel right at home and go above and beyond. Thanks for an incredible stay! 10/10 would book again.

It truly is a little slice of heaven! Pictures don’t come close to doing it justice! We stayed 3 nights. It was easy to get to and close to the La Fortuna area. We can’t recommend pie in the sky enough! From check in to checkout it was wonderful!

Sunny Oasis Country Club apartment, Santa Ana

DeborahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The only negative that Miguel has for his beautiful place is the guards. It seems in their attempt to keep the property safe they repeat the check in repeatedly with every time you enter the property. There needs to be a way that once you check in they will recognize either the car or a paper that allows you to get in without having to sit through the process EVERY time. If you are coming and going through out the day it is very frustrating.

In search of peace?

JoserRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My wife and I visited the accommodation and Cristian's service was outstanding, charismatic and super attentive; he took the time to explain everything and radiates love and passion for what he does. The place is beautiful, of the highest quality, the views are worth appreciating slowly and dedicatedly, the location is perfect, the furniture is designed to exceed any expectation. It's a place to recharge batteries, reconnect with nature, and be happy. If someone has read this so far and still has doubts, imagine this: Costa Rica summarized with excellence in this accommodation.

Modern penthouse, office, A/C, Pool, GYM

KarinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This condo is located on the third floor (via elevator) at the end of a hall, with views to a green space and giant chunk of granite. The unit has two bedrooms (only one with AC) with a third loft style swing space (office / bedroom). The kitchen & living space are compact but sufficient for a short stay. The true bonus is access to a clubhouse with bar/restaurant, two pools, gym and two tennis hard courts. The recreational space has a wonderful view down to the Central Valley. We appreciated the security at the property entrance & access to a covered parking spot. The main issue to consider is the fact that a condo has neighbours - some of whom have dogs that bark and/or enjoy family gatherings at a volume not conducive to sleep on a Saturday night. Otherwise, it’s a good option for activities in and around Santa Ana & San Jose.

Brand New beachfront condo|Jaco Surf & vibes

DerrickRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I really enjoyed my stay at Ibrahim’s apartment in Jaco. The place was perfect and the attention to detail within the apartment was wonderful. Ibrahim and his team were very responsive and accommodating throughout my stay. The location was perfect. It was a very short walk from popular restaurants and bars, yet in a location that could also provide you some privacy and distance from the crowds. This was actually the best Airbnb experience I’ve had and I would certainly hope to stay at Ibrahim’s place again in the future.

splendid house whit jacuzzi sorrounded by nature

DanielRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Truly splendid stay! Inflatable jacuzzi was amazing! And you can’t beat fresh clean water, chlorine free! We absolutely loved the place. We would definitely come again. Amazing price, definitely worth what we paid. It works great for a family with up to 4 children. Our king size bed was comfortable completely a dream. Nice kitchen well stocked. Huge glass front gives the house a sunny open feel. Even had a washer and dryer to get laundry done. Even provided laundry soap and extra toilet paper when needed. There’s even a simple grill and charcoal we used to grill supper.

Lake Arenal! Cabina for 4 with kitchen and patio

BethRating, 5 stars4 days ago
My daughter and her boyfriend were there for a bike ride ride. The location was perfect for proximity to the ride and a great environment to relax following a strenuous day! There was a slight mix up with rooms, but it was quickly resolved for everyone. And, my daughter loved the replacement digs (pets included!) Kees is extremely easy to communicate with and very responsive. We highly recommend him and his accommodations.

Rural property, jacuzzi and balcony overlooking the volcano

JonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was an amazing AirBnB there is far more to do and enjoy on the farm than you expect. The farm is enormous and there is a short hike down a little hill through the jungle that leads down to a big open area for cattle where you can cross a stream and enjoy the beautiful nature. Also there is this great, cheap restaurant called Victorino's which is relatively close.
