Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Nicoya Peninsula

a family of 4 had a wonderful time here! highly recommend!

Big Marlin is magical! The location and house are dreamy. Its a lovely walk into town along the beach, and views from the house are delightful. Adrian the host is extremly responsive and helpful, and Roxanne the housekeeper who lives on site is just remarkable. I look forward to our next years stay already.

Thank you for the fantastic stay! Tanyia and Rod are amazing hosts. We appreciated the communication and flexibility when booking and leaving. Great recommendations, can’t wait to try some of them when we return. The place is tidy and spotless. Loved the flowers and it’s very well stocked - has everything you need. Great A/C and the showers were so refreshing. The view from the living room is so beautiful of the lake. Our girls loved having their own private area with the king bed. The neighborhood is so peaceful and beautiful- perfect place for a stroll by fields with horses. As with so many places in Costa Rica, there are some steep dirt road inclines on the way - we had no trouble in our 4 wheel drive. This place offers clean, peaceful solitude to listen to the sounds of the Costa Rica jungle tucked away on the south side of Lake Arenal. We only spent evenings there so we didn’t go to the clubhouse.

A beautiful house, with all the amenities to feel at home, excellent service from Arleth and Rosita, thank you very much for everything

We had a great time, everything was perfect.We loved the pool and the casita was perfect for my 25 years old daughter. The view was incredible. There was construction near by but it wasn’t loud. It didn’t affect our vacation. I loved the kitchen, it was really well equipped! We highly recommend La Caza de Paz and we would come back for sure!

Our stay at this Airbnb was absolutely breathtaking! The property was stunning, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a cozy yet luxurious vibe. We were surrounded by gorgeous nature—lush greenery and serene landscapes that felt like a dream. We were worried the entire trip would be rainy, but to our delight, the skies cleared, giving us an incredible, unobstructed view of the volcano. It was the highlight of our stay! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for beauty and tranquility.

Beautiful house and beautiful place, ideal to disconnect completely... my family and I celebrated my birthday in a very intimate setting with nature. Noa is very kind, always attentive to everything and quick to respond. I recommend it!

The Jungle Rock is a truly stunning little gem nestled in nature and perfect for those who really want to immerse themselves in the jungle and appreciate all the surroundings have to offer. AMAZING view just a few steps away. Vincent is incredibly kind and made great suggestions about places to go. You can tell he put much care into this tiny home. It is about 15-20min removed from town and some beaches, but honestly the road to and from was one of our favorite parts, it was just so so beautiful, the drive felt like a treat in itself. Definitely recommend !!

we had a wonderful stay at monteverde thanks to dulce! the home is clean and beautiful and the location is central to the nature preserves. perfect for birding!

Very nice stay , very private area. Awesome having the entire place as a couple

This home is beautiful and the location on the beach is amazing. There was a learning curve to get the air conditioning working properly which was likely user error on our part. Bring a soft cooler to carry cold beverages down to the beach so you dont need to run up and down the stairs.. Despite the minor criticisms above i would highly recommend this place. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

This was my LIR to Arenal interim stop on way to La Fortuna since we landed after 2:00PM. I only wish we could have stayed for more than one night. It was clean and very elegant yet homey. The view in the morning was to die for.

The host is very friendly, the accommodation is beautiful, it exceeded my expectations in every way. We will definitely be back!

Teako House was a really great stay, incredible value for the money, and a truly local experience in a real tico neighborhood that is located in a lush peaceful valley. The apartment was simple but surprisingly spacious and upgrades have been made since these pictures so I found things a bit more spruced up than I expected! From the little terrace you can see the surrounding teak farm and watch the clouds roll by (literally, you're in a cloud forest sometimes!). And the host Juan Carlos is a super nice local surfer and business owner who is stoked to offer up recommendations, etc. if you want them. I had to get some work done during my stay so I particularly appreciated the fast wifi and gorgeous relaxing nature view from the dining table that I used as my desk.

We enjoyed our stay in Monteverde. Yamileth was always responsive and friendly and took the time to greet us upon arrival. I will miss my mornings and nights sitting on the terrace enjoying the view and listening to the birds. Thank you for hosting us!

Beautiful location with Marina, mountain and stunning sunrise views over the ocean. Pool was a good temperature and home was clean and spacious!

This location is so beautiful and unique! It is like being in a multi tiered treehouse in the jungle that is a block from civilization. One afternoon we had monkeys visit us and play on the trees around the house and roof! The host and housekeeper are very responsive. Know that some beds and rooms are separate apartments. But the main house is beautiful wood with an open layout that we all met up in by the fireplace in the evening. Amazing memories and trip!

We stayed 7 nights at Danielle’s gorgeous home and loved it. The property is private and stunningly beautiful. With a huge variety of trees, including mango, the diversity of birds is wonderful. While in the house, the view out every window is so colorful and Danielle’s sense of design in the home reflects that. The 2 bedrooms are very comfortable with perfect air flow thru the windows and overhead fans allowing for perfect sleeping conditions. The large stone lined shower is fantastic and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need. We also loved the location of the house. Close to Nuevo Arenal with it’s great restaurants and right where you need to be to start your drive towards Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna activities. Danielle is also the perfect host. Checking in to make sure everything is going well and super responsive with any questions you might have. We will definitely plan to stay here in the future.

We enjoy a lot to spend holidays in this place, is peaceful, beautiful and confortable, I really recommend Villa Corazon. Looking forward to come back soon.

We really enjoyed our stay. Having access to the beach club was a big bonus. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, paricularily Mario, Maria and Freddy.

We’ve stayed at some cool places over the years, but Casa Del Mono is one of my all-time favorites. It’s a perfect little getaway for anyone who wants to be close to nature but with all the comforts of home. It’s a very private property sitting way up the side of a mountain with a beautiful courtyard and hiking trails right out the front door. You simply cannot beat the view, and waking up to a chorus of birds like toucans, oropendolas, and tanagers was incredible (bring your binoculars)! The house itself is beautiful and well-equipped with everything you need. The kitchen is fully stocked, the bed is comfortable, and the shower/tub are gorgeous. It was everything we were hoping for in a Costa Rican stay, and I hope we get to visit again soon!

If you want peaceful and remote, this is the place for you! We stayed for 2 nights and had a wonderful, relaxing time. Giselle’s place was less than 5 min from Playa Coco, which was the best beach in the area (we didn’t surf but seemed like everyone that did also went there). There are not a ton of restaurants in the area, but as it’s easy to cook in the full kitchen and enjoy the beautiful views from the Airbnb, I’d recommend bringing your own groceries, striking up a fire and settling in. Watched the birds come in every morning from bed!

What a beautiful home! This place is equipped, detailed, clean, comfortable and maintained. The views are endless. The nights are gorgeous. We spent the majority of our time on the back patio and in the pool. The outdoor shower was amazing. Francisco, the caretaker, was also just so fabulous. He was so helpful and just precious. It was just myself and my best friend, two females, and we felt very safe. They had very comfortable beds, sheets, pillows, towels, linens in general. My best friend and I felt right at home. Probably one of the most comfortable well equipped homes that I’ve stayed in. Definitely the cleanest. I would highly recommend this home to anyone. Looking forward to the air-conditioning in the upper bedrooms!

Remarkable, immaculately designed and kept luxury villa. A little bit off the beaten path. Nearest airport being Liberia (LIR), 2 hrs away and you’ll need a 4x4 to get there. Having said that, this place is absolutely a hidden gem you won’t want to leave in a hurry. Note: it is a remarkably large property and we could easily have fit another family of 5 (alongside us) and not seen each other for days. Hosts were always responsive and communicative and made our stay memorable and easy.
