Beach house vacation rentals in San José Province

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!

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

Excellent stay, Excellent service, friendly people beautiful setting and very comfortable. Loved everything about it!!!❤️👍🏼👍🏼

We enjoyed this beautiful, clean, home.

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 😁

The listing is very clear, this is an open air house. If you’re not okay with a few bugs in the house, iguanas on the porch, frogs on the walkway, and having howler monkeys as an alarm clock then this place isn’t for you. For us- it was a little piece of Heaven. It’s a short walk to the beach and filled with flora, fauna, birds, and lizards. In other words, magical. I only wish we could have spent a few extra days here and brought gifts for the care takers. Hands down, my favorite Airbnb ever!

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!

Don’t believe the 2-star review!!! It couldn't be further from our experience. Katrin is truly the perfect Airbnb host: responsive, warm, and incredibly helpful. She went above and beyond to make my boyfriend’s birthday unforgettable. When we arrived, the house was beautifully decorated — something she did all on her own initiative and she helped me arrange a delicious cake and made the perfect dinner reservation for us at Mangata. The house itself is stunning: peaceful, surrounded by nature, and just a short walk from the beach. If you're looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and thoughtfully managed place to stay, look no further. Katrin, you're the best and we’ll absolutely be back! With love

Such a beautiful place. It’s hard to find and the road is a bit challenging - definitely need a 4x4, but our little Suzuki rental did fine. The home is amazing, the concierge service was really friendly and efficient, the jungle location was beautiful, and the pool and patio were just the icing on the cake. It felt like a private oasis in the jungle, but just up the road from Manuel Antonio town and not far from the beaches. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

This luxury villa exceeded all expectations! The house made our entire vacation, a 10 out of 10. Having Andrey as our concierge was so helpful and he was so attentive. The location is also perfect! We loved walking to Ronnie‘s place for dinner and sitting on the pool deck, gazing out on the Pacific Ocean. We will be back!

Out of the 6 or 7 bourses we’ve rented over the years in MA this one was the best! Pool was spectacular and the house was roomy and cold AC after fishing. Definitely will repeat.

We’ve lived in Costa Rica and been to almost every corner of the country. Natalia’s property and guest house is one of a kind and incredibly special. Only thing to be aware of is that there is only A/C in the master bedroom and it gets quite humid (expected). Wonderful place to stay and be truly immersed in the south coast.

This house was amazing! The hosts went out of their way to make sure we had everything and were comfortable. Very spacious, clean, and fully stocked for anything we may need. The privacy was great, and the security system made us feel very safe. The location was walking distance to the beach and everything in town. Beds were extremely comfortable and the outdoor showers were great! We will definitely be staying here again and can’t wait to come back!

Very nice house, very safe complex, the beach and the pools are a little long but worth it

We had a great stay at Suzanne’s place. The pool was even bigger than we thought it would be. The place was pristine and the design of the house was amazing. We enjoyed the walk to the beach and breakfast at Cafe Ensueño just a block or two away. We loved being able to still enjoy sitting outside in the covered living space when it rained in the evening. We saw a toucan from the pool which was a real treat and our two year old son loved hearing the howler monkeys in the morning. The supermarket next door was very convenient, though that and the nearby highway were sometimes noisy. But all in all we still found the stay to be very relaxing. Starting out the day with the outdoor (but private) shower was great. Suzanne was very communicative, flexible with check in, and had great recommendations for nearby restaurants and things to do. Náuyaca waterfalls are just 15 minutes from Suzanne’s place and were a highlight of our trip. We wish we could have stayed longer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rachael's home in Uvita. It's walking distance to the Marino Ballena beach entrance and on days when we needed a break from the beach, we enjoyed the pool in the backyard. During low tide one day we walked the beach to Whale's Tail. This natural formation offered the coolest experience. Take shoes if you want to walk all the way out on the tail portion, as the end gets a little rocky. We found the greatest empanada soda - El Hornito - that's only a few minutes drive away. It's authentic Argentinian and absolutely delicious! We also enjoyed Uvita's farmer's market, El Mercado de Bahia Ballena (open Wednesdays and Saturdays - check them out on IG for more info). We're so glad we stayed here. In addition to this being a great location, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and my children enjoyed the books and toys available to them.
