Beach front house private pool Esterillos Jacó
We had the loveliest time at this beachfront house. The pool is gorgeous - not too warm or cold. It was so refreshing to relax in the pool and stare at the waves. The house is in the best part of Esterillos, right in front of the “mermaid” and the tide pools. The house is well designed and makes use of all the spaces. It was clean and well equipped. You can also walk to the nearby store and there are a few good restaurants just a block or two away walking along the beach. It was an amazing place to share with family, we will be back!

Amazing place!

Villa Del Mar 3-180° Ocean View Private Community
Firstly, thanks Lissette for everything! WOW!! Is what comes to mind, this home has a spectacular view of the ocean, that we could of sat, watched and listen to for hours. It was very clean and cozy. I absolutely loved it. Lissette was very kind and helpful, even before my check in. She answered all my questions about the area she provided great recommendations. (If i would of had a little patience...lol.)Lissette also have a very helpful binder with instructions, tips, and restaurants provided for her guest. Lastly, don't second guess it, if you come across this listing book it immediately, you will not be disappointed. Pura Vida!!! enjoy Costa Rica is was amazing!!!!

Casa Harmony ON THE BEACH
Great location, a short walk from the beach. Spacious bedrooms and living area. Maud is a very considerate and accommodating host.

Don't stay near the beach, stay on it! 2 Bed pool
Excellent stay, Excellent service, friendly people beautiful setting and very comfortable. Loved everything about it!!!❤️👍🏼👍🏼

Casa los Sueños (Dream House) - Beachfront Dream House
Such an amazing house and location. The house is beautiful, the beds were all quite comfortable. Lots of space and bathrooms for many people. The outside garden, BBQ area and pool were so amazing, it was a nice place to spend the afternoon in some shade when the beach sun was too intense. The beach is spectacular, the local neighbours are so friendly, they always make sure you and your family stay safe and aware of tides and currentswhen you go to the beach. The melon/fruit truck that drives by is such a welcome bonus. I would have liked to see a little more up keep in the kitchen with cupboards hanging off hinges and no handle on the freezer and more cooking supplies (pots, pans, flippers). We had three adults and 4 children (1, 3, 9, and 11) everyone enjoyed the location and the house :) highly recommend. Danny and the team was also super responsive and very nice to deal with 😁

Beachfront house in Playa Ballena
We stayed for four days and had the most amazing time. I had tears in my eyes saying goodbye to Emerita. She and Diogenes were wonderful hosts who helped us with any questions and pointed out a baby sloth that we never would have seen without her pointing it out. It’s truly a magical place, Déborah. Thank you for your timely responses, accurate description, and recommendations. For those considering—know thyself! If you freak out over bugs, this isn’t the place for you. It’s Pura Vida. My son, daughter , and I loved everything! Morning Mother’s Day walk solo on the beach was perfection. We will return!!!!

Casa Tortuga
Beautiful home right on the beach with amazing host who was always right there to assist when needed. The home was immaculate and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The living room was a great relaxing spot and my favourite was the patio table overlooking the pool. We loved this home and you can tell the owner takes pride in hosting. We will be back at the first opportunity . Highly recommended. Thank you for an amazing few days!

360° Jungle Seclusion • Ocean View • Near Beach
This is a beautiful house with total privacy. We saw several birds species at the house and walking through the neighborhood. It’s a short drive into Uvita and there are several restaurants to choose from. It’s also close to Arco Beach, Whale Tail, and Catarata Uvita. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends.

Manuel Antonio honeymoon jungle retreat
Jefferson is a great host with an amazing home. The home is so private and peaceful. We swam in the pool while watching monkeys swinging in the trees. It was the coolest experience ever. Jefferson was great and communicating and helped us with any questions we had leading up to our trip. His concierge team is also top notch. They helped us plan things to do throughout our trip, recommended some great restaurants, and communicated with us throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better Airbnb to stay at, and will definitely be returning next time we make the trip to Costa Rica!

Casa de Fe y Paz, Summer Special Pricing
Casa de Paz was exactly as the listing described. Cynthia greeted us at the house, was thorough with giving us all of the info we needed including recommendations. There were many thoughtful touches inside and out. We truly felt like we were in paradise!

Villa Madom, new villa close to PN Marino Ballena
Wow!10/10…. Beatas place has been the best place we have stayed in. Not only is the design beautiful but also extremely clean and spacious. Beata is also very detailed and reached out prior to arriving to ask if a crib is needed since I was traveling with my 1 year old, very thoughtful of her, as offer the crib and fresh blankets for baby were there as soon as we arrived. I can’t say much about the area as we were in town for a wedding and all activities were planned ahead of time, but we did appreciate the closeness of many restaurants and stores, we also got to go to the farmers market on Saturday morning which was great to see. Will definitely like to come back and do a humpback whale tour when their in season and baby is older to witness.

Luxury jungle home with pool, minutes from ocean
Stuart’s place was an ideal location for a private and peaceful getaway. The property itself had great amenities - especially the pool and the surrounding landscape. It was centrally located to bars, restaurants and beaches in Uvita and two neighboring towns - but far enough away to feel like we were in the middle of the jungle. Stuart was a great host. His place definitely made our vacation!

Hidden Villa Oasis with Panoramic Ocean Views
This was one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in. The property is incredible. Josh and Cheyenne were super helpful and responsive. Josh showed my kids the chicken coup and greeted us with fresh eggs. He also helped us change our flat which was much appreciated. The property is very clean, tastefully designed with an incredible view. Would highly recommend a four wheel drive and finding it is a bit tricky but Cheyenne guided us. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Casa Mareas: Ocean & Jungle View
Marta's home is the perfect place to relax. Easy access to Dominical and Uvita, Hacienda Ebona, Nauyaca Waterfall and Parque Reptilandia. Dominical has great restaurants and bars. Very laid back and relaxed atmosphere. The beds slept well and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. The outdoor area is great and we truly enjoyed the pool, grill and outside dining area. From the decks you can see numerous hummingbirds, butterflies, toucans, parrots, hawks, capuchin monkeys and iguana. We enjoyed the chorus from the wonderful creatures found in southwest Costa Rica. From the deck you can also enjoy a bird's eye view of Playa Dominicalito. Watch the surfers, paragliders and visitors. The drive down to Playa Dominicalito takes maybe 5 min and it is every bit worth a walk along the beach at low tide. Plenty of space to relax on the beach as well with great trees for shade. Can't imagine a better way to experience Pura Vida!

Casa Valentina/Ocean&SunsetView/BreakfastIncluded*
I have a hard time putting into words how magical this place was. When we first entered through to the deck, it didn’t even look real. From that deck with the lovely infinity pool we saw squirrel monkeys, a howler monkey, capuchin monkeys, toucans, scarlet tanagers, hummingbirds, macaws and more. Breakfast every morning was a huge perk and my younger sister in particular loved getting pancakes everyday. Just to note, there is still construction on what seems to be two nearby properties, but still an amazing stay (one of the fabric fences to block construction view is a favorite path of the squirrel monkeys though a side benefit)! Still a magical stay and a great way to celebrate my younger sister’s high school graduation.

Casa Lily 2 - Private Pool, minutes to beach/park
This was the best part of our trip. So many monkey sounds with an incredible view. Our 4 year old loved the pool and the set up of the home was perfect for our family. We loved Lily the cat and Lorena was so helpful. All her recommendations were amazing! We loved the restaurant around the corner. She told us about the Rainmaker which ended up being our favorite stop.

Casa Botánica-Walk to beach, big pool and patio
We found the location great: a small convenience store close by, good Mexican restaurant two blocks and beach four blocks away. Further: view restaurants 15-20’ in both directions; life-changing sanctuaries (Alturas) and wildlife preserves (Sierpe! Playa Tortuga!) 30-60’. Variety of surfing beaches from a walk to a drive away. Great couple renting boards right at the beach entrance so no need to carry them home. We loved the outdoor shower and especially the pool, heaven on a hot day or after a warm walk or hike. We loved taking an early morning “nature walk” to see monkeys and birds as they wake and look for breakfast. Real treats: Cherrie’s Tanagers, Morpho butterflies and especially the Howlers coming through the corridor next door at 4:45am. Tropical thunderstorms with frogs calling, enjoyed from the shelter of the terrace with lightning all around, rain splashing in the pool. The local Mercado with fabulous yogurt and smoothies, fruit and bread, Wed/Sat. House a sanctuary!

Amazing Oceanview & Private Infinity Edge Pool!
Plenty of room for a family of 5! The pool was a hit with the kids and the views were incredible. Clean and private and not far from beaches, waterfalls and food.

"Villa Blanca: Luxury Ocean View Retreat"
Our stay in Costa Rica was absolutely wonderful. The house was beautiful and perfectly located. We loved everything about it! The host was very friendly and accommodating. Waking up to the sound of birds every morning was incredible, and we saw scarlet macaws and iguanas daily. Overall, it was a perfect experience!

Bahia Ballena Villa Near Beach
Had a great time! Was the perfect place for our family to spend a couple of days. Close to restaurants and the National Parque Ballena Marina.

Casa Jungla Hermosa
This was an amazing experience! The villa was well equipped and very beautiful. The location was amazing as well, in the middle of nature but still close (less than 10min drive) to Uvita itself. We also saw tucans and monkeys from our balcony. We would defenitily recommend this!

OCEAN VIEW WITH INFINITY POOL
We had a fantastic time at the house. Geisel was super responsive, helpful with recommendations and accommodating. She looked up where we could watch the champions league final which was much appreciated . The house was very clean and the kids loved the pool. It was hard to find at first as we arrived at night, but Michael met us on his motorcycle and lead us to the house. Definitely rent a four wheel drive trick or car. We did lose power for one hour but one should expect it given the developing infrastructure.

Villa Calula
I mean where do I start… beautiful home I couldn’t pick a better place to spend my birthday if I come back to Costa Rica I will be coming back to this house Lara communicated perfectly and all her recommendations surpassed my expectations
