Vacation rentals with a hot tub in Nicoya Peninsula

Beautiful and extremely private place, and also close to everything!... beautiful view. loved it, we hope to come back!

This home had beautiful views, a wonderful staff, and was a superb find for our family’s Christmas vacation. Santa Teresa is amazing and we had some of the best food on vacation ever! Our host , Brano was very responsive and our local helpers were amazing. There is a housekeeping staff on site, but they respect your privacy and keep watch over the property. They brought us extra towels when needed and were overall extremely respectful and helpful. For those traveling to this location, I strongly recommend either a car or ATVs as the home is located up a steep driveway. It is walkable (and there are 150 stairs to use instead) but to do this on a daily basis, you would have to be pretty fit and young. In addition, there are stairs from the driveway to get down to the house and these would not be appropriate for anyone with balance or stability issues. They were fine for us at 50 years old, but should be a consideration for anyone with walking or stability issues. We had a great time!

Great time for my family of five staying in both of the tiny houses on Diego's property. The howler monkeys visited us again and my kids enjoyed the hot tub. Playa Potrero is walkable to this private secure location and has everything we need for a simple beach vacation in a undiscovered beach in Costa Rica's dry forest. The location is great for Liberia airport and we were able to visit Tamarindo and Monteverde Cloud Forest in addition to enjoying the quiet Playa Potrero.

If you find yourself in Puntarenas and have a taste for history and true hospitality, Casa Fait is the place to go. The house itself is beautifully and carefully restored to it’s early 20th century splendour, which is completely surreal given today’s reality of the fisherman town. The hosts are beyond welcoming and shared a lot of stories, recommendations, anecdotes and wisdom. It has been a great experience on our journey through Costa Rica.

We had such a magical stay here. From the moment we booked, the communication with the host was seamless—responsive, kind, and super helpful. The house itself is stunning—every detail thoughtfully designed with high-end touches and impeccable taste. It’s fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, yet still feels like a peaceful retreat tucked into the jungle. We woke up to monkeys playing in the trees and fell asleep to the sounds of nature. It’s the perfect balance of privacy and proximity—just a short walk to the beach, but completely immersed in nature. Everything was spotless, and the host checked in a few times during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Would return in a heartbeat!

What a special place tucked away in Punta Islita, yet still a part of the larger hotel/resort amenities. Exceeded expectations. Perfect for 2 families joining up for a vacation, who need a kitchen, laundry and pool yet can still figure out some adult private time. Loved the proximity to the beach, pool and bar there. It's a 10 min walk on a walkway covered by trees for most of it- needed in the dry/hot season. It was super helpful to be connected with site manager/concierge, he and Nancy both helped with questions. We did a bunch of activities (saw monkeys with a guide right outside and surfed) and got to relax. Very worth the bumpy ride out. Have your 4x4 and your all set.

The back deck was spectacular and really became part of our trip. We saw lots of birds, including Toucans, and even Agoutis. My only real complaint had nothing to do with the house but rather the road beside it which was busy with motorcycles and other vehicles at night and in the morning.

We had an unforgettable stay at Jessy’s beautiful home in Monteverde. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views and the peaceful, natural setting. The floor-to-ceiling windows made us feel completely immersed in the cloud forest—it was like waking up in the middle of a dream. Jessy was an exceptional host—kind, thoughtful, and welcoming. She even left us a sweet note and some local treats to sample, which was such a lovely touch. The home itself was spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the jacuzzi was the perfect way to unwind after a long day of hiking and exploring. If you’re looking for a quiet, secluded getaway where you can truly connect with nature, this is the place. We can’t recommend it enough and hope to return someday!

This property was spectacular!!!We loved the location and the views were so beautiful. The infinity pool was a highlight. And the house itself was so clean and modern. The water filter inside the refrigerator was so useful!! Well equipped and the beach chairs and boogie boards were a nice touch! Perfect for 3 couples with plenty of room.

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!

Mills La Maria is beautiful. Clean and inviting. Roberto was a great host. He was very accommodating and helpful. We actually got there too early for check-in but he helped us get to a local (and beautiful) restaurant to wait while the room was being prepared. Great access to the beach and walkable to several restaurants and supermarket. We had a great stay…complete with wonderful sights [and sounds] of Costa Rica.

We had a great time on the outskirts of Monteverde in this home. close enough to get to the attractions too. TV was good with apps available netflix etc. for when it was chucking it down with rain! can get a bit loud in the heavy storms with rain on the roof. The place was big enough to feel like a little home in the mountains. Clean and well thought out. Hot tub was a bonus! Thank you for having us.

Fantastic place ! Perfect location, right in the middle of the drive to Arenal National Park and downtown La Fortuna

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.

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.

I've been to Santa Teresa many times and this stay has been truly amazing. Being able to wake up and walk a few steps to have my coffee on the beach was such an unbelievable experience. Richard and his family are amazing and kind. The location is perfect. I would absolutely stay again and again.

This place is very cozy. We dont like resorts but this place was perfect and close to everything

This place is magical! The property is very well maintained with lush greens and massive swimming pool. It got everything you need, a small kitchen, big bed, clean bathroom. A lot shared space to hang out and chill. AND a chance to see sloth on the property. The host and property manager is super welcoming and friendly. The fresh milk and eggs are nice touches to make the stay feels like home. Highly recommend to everyone!

I’m already missing this spot. Love the view into the rainforest. We saw lots of toucans, hummingbirds, fireflies, butterflies and more. We were even woken up our last morning by howler monkeys - didn’t see them, but we could hear them. Would 100% stay here again.

Excellent place, comfortable, cozy and the jacuzzi is great, 100% recommended

This was the perfect oasis we didn’t realize we needed until we were there. The accommodations were lovely & comfortable, but the property was bird-watching heaven for us!! (We also saw cows, wild hogs, steer, skinks/lizards, and friendly neighborhood dogs and cats among other animals). It was awesome!! The bed was comfortable, ac perfect & shower was heavenly! We also enjoyed the hot tub & picnic table several times & they were great amenities. The property was easy to find, clean, well appointed, we felt safe & absolutely loved our stay!! There are several good restaurants/dining options nearby as well. We’d stay again in a heart beat! Thanks for letting us stay, Wendy!!

Jade Cabin is really nice, the jacuzzi is a plus definitely, you just need to keep in mind that you will have a lot of insects around due to the location of the cabin, we don’t mind, but someone might.

My group had a great experience staying at this home. the home was just like the pictures. Juan Carlos was really responsive and helpful with booking the shuttle from the airport as well as activities. You definitely need an ATV to get to this home, so would highly recommend you rent one and take into account the cost of renting it too.

This house is incredible. It’s in a great spot, feels very private and tucked into nature. It was perfectly clean and felt very new. Very good value for money. The driveway is quite steep, so our 2WD with poor power struggled a bit, but most cars would be fine. Would recommend this place to anyone traveling to the area.
