Vacation rentals with a kayak in Puntarenas Province

Casa De La Perla met and exceeded all of our expectations. The house was just perfect for our family of seven and the views from the deck overlooking the infinity pool were breathtaking!! The sunsets were spectacular! The location was perfect with easy access to a wealth of restaurants in downtown Tamarindo. The whole family enjoyed the experience and we are all excited to return. The hosts were very informative and super responsive. We will be back!

This was an extraordinary experience; one of our favorite spaces and trips that we have ever had. The nature is unbeatable. Monkeys and macaws are your close neighbors. The jungle is home, and the energy it provides is nurturing and deeply spiritual. The layout of the house is spacious and open. The beach is private and a beautiful 5 minute walk. Michael is a very responsive host. If you're looking for a peaceful oasis in the heart of Osa, don't miss booking Casa Sombrero.

After some back and forth at check-in (our fault, not Steve‘s) we came to Steve’s house which is located in a private ressort. Beautiful location right above Playa Mantas with direct access from the house. Only 10 minute walk to famous Plays Blanca, perfect. At low tide you can even reach Playa Blanca by walking along the beach. The house is spacious and well equipped with everything you need - it’s obvious that this is someone’s home and not just a holiday rental. We enjoyed the beaches and the amenities that the ressort has to offer. Great also to just sit on the porch and watch macaws, iguanas and even monkeys in the surrounding. All in all we had a great week there. Perhaps one thing should be mentioned - to reach the house from the ressort entrance is about a 4km drive on a paved, but rather uneven track. So one needs a bit of planning when leaving for other activities (like Parc National Carara - less known but impressive wildlife) …

Our stay at Lapa Villas was amazing! We were 18 people and it fit us perfectly. Carli was SO helpful, communicative, and recommended so many local attractions. She also helped us booked a Chef (who we loved) and a boat tour, and got us a bit of a deal for our large group size. She even baked us brownies 🥹 It’s an incredible pair of villas and we loved the covered outdoor kitchen right by the pool, we hung out there constantly. The hike down to the private beach is great for viewing wildlife right at the house. The hot tub and pool were amazing, especially with our visit being during the rainy season! We were a bit disappointed by the sauna as it didn’t work at all during our stay, but hopefully it will be up and running soon. And Carli and Yader were both super responsive and helpful with trying to get it going which we greatly appreciated. All in all this was a great place to stay! 5/5 stars

Manuel & Elkin made this vacation a hit! The setup of the house was perfect for 2 families. King beds(very comfortable) and private baths for parents and kids had plenty of space and own bathrooms. The pool was perfect size and the open kitchen allowed great gathering spaces. Elkin the caretaker shows up immediately whenever you need anything and extremely helpful, even texted us one morning to let us know the monkeys were out and walked us to them, plus he's an amazing human! -Grocery store right next door open 7am-9pm-make sure to try the lunch special and empanadas cooked out front of store. -Fabulous Bakery next door accepts US dollars has amazing pastries -Coffee shop 3 minute walk on way to beach with pop dinner while we were there! -Pedro for surf board lessons and rental on the way to the beach -Full bar restaurant overlooking beach for dinners after evening swims watching the sun go down. -close to Playa Hermosa and Santa Teresa, so nice to stay away from the hustle.

This was a very unique experience for our large family group. Having a beautiful beach within just a very short walk was the best part. Some amenities within the subdivision but easy to take water taxi over to Tamarindo during the day. Our host was very hospitable and responsive to anything we needed. We were all very happy with our stay.

Un lugar privado, con excelente ubicación y todas las comodidades necesarias para hacer de las vacaciones memorables. Una estadía de lujo

Joseph’s property is a serene, peaceful retreat surrounded by lush greenery and just a five-minute walk to the ocean. The tranquil setting and nature’s beauty made it the perfect escape for New Year's Eve. One highlight was meeting Macho, the friendly “guardian” dog, who quickly became a cherished part of our stay. Joseph’s hospitality was exceptional—he was kind, responsive, and even made us delicious homemade pizza one evening. We had a small misunderstanding about bringing two dogs instead of one, but Joseph was incredibly understanding and welcomed both with open arms. The property itself was well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed, with inviting outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy nature. Our only minor issue was a missed cleaning service, but Joseph apologized and offered to reschedule, though it was too close to our departure to be worthwhile. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we’d love to return!

Brais and G are absolutely the best hosts ever. They have an amazing family and property to stay at. It was clean, the A/C was a huge plus and the beds are very comfortable. We will definitely be staying here next trip. They make you feel right at home and like family. Pura Vida 🩷

Excelente ubicación Instrucciones claras y muy buena comunicación con el anfitrión

Helena was incredibly kind and welcoming—she gave us lots of great recommendations for things to do in the area and made check-in super easy and flexible. The place itself was beautiful and full of artistic touches that made it feel special and unique. We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated her warm hospitality!

Patricia is an amazing host and very helpful! She always answer fast and had many good recommendations.

At Andy’s place the adventure comes to you. People pay to be taken out into the jungle for tours to see wildlife that showed up in our yard with no effort. The road to matopalo is rough - can’t be passed without 4wd. I wish we’d had higher suspension in ours but we managed. Stop at the bakery and the BM supermarket in PJ for food and stock up. There is no reason to return to PJ during your stay at Andy’s if you have enough food/drinks. Bring coconut oil for your legs to prevent sand fleas (this applies to all Costa Rica) deet also works but natural is better. I would call the experience *top notch glamping* you’re really outdoors and one with nature the whole time. Unbelievable surroundings with a bed and pillows, hot running water and a working range. Perfect for my family who’s used to campervan camping. Backwash bay was perfect for swimming. Andy’s place was perfect for watching surfers, sunrises and sunsets. Keep an eye out for bioluminescence after sunset!! & THE SWING AH!

Es una finca increíble y muy bien cuidada, con anfitriones maravillosos que nos ayudaron a lavar la ropa, nos ofrecieron comida deliciosa y nos apoyaron en todo. ¡La recomendamos totalmente para visitar!

We had an excellent stay. The beds were very comfortable which has been not super common for us in CR. The wifi was great as my husband and I were both working. The host was very kind and welcoming. We were pleasantly surprised the bugs were minimal for being so open air. The birds were amazing. The lookout point is beautiful. They were kind and flexible about late checkout for us. The host even took time to take us to the waterfall and natural jacuzzi on the property. He taught us about all the different kinds of trees. Mary was great as well. We hope to make it back to stay here again!

Un lugar increíble, muy bonito, súper limpio, rodeado de mucha vegetación, la vista muy linda, la alberca siempre limpia y las atenciones de Flor fueron de lo mejor, nos sentimos en familia, me llevó una experiencia muy bonita del lugar

Muy recomendada. La cabaña es igual a las fotos, ordenada, aseada, la ubicación es buena, céntrica en un pueblo. Cerca de varias playas.

La estadía fue la muy agradable, el lugar es bello y se encuentra en una excelente ubicación, hay muchas playas cerca, puedes tomar un bote a Golfito por un bajo precio y ver delfines, la cabaña es perfecta para una familia, la atención del anfitrión John es la mejor, es muy amable y servicial, te atiende con detalles que te hace sentir mejor que en casa! Si vienes a Puerto Jiménez esta es la mejor opción!! John es un super anfitrión!!!

Der Aufenthalt im „House of Waves“ war eine Bereicherung für unsere Costa Rica Reise. Die Lage direkt am Meer ist einzigartig, man spürt und hört das Meer in allen Facetten. Zwar wohnt man in der Anlage mit anderen Parteien zusammen, aber es war stets ruhig und ein respektvoller Umgang. Man kann auch frei die Aussenflächen nutzen. Die Bambuskontruktion des Häuschens ist sehr beeindruckend, man hat alles was man braucht und es steckt sehr viel Liebe in allem. Seid euch einfach bewusst: Ihr lebt mit der Natur zusammen, das heisst mit Kakerlaken, Krabben und anderen Insekten. Im und ums Haus. Das ist Teil der Erfahrung 😊
