Villa vacation rentals in San José Province

I have rented houses in the Dominical/ Uvita/ Ojochal over a dozen times and Roberto and Diana's place has been my favorite by far. Not only is the property extremely unique in it's design and layout, it's amenities, location and incredible view is unmatched. Typically speaking, in this area of Costa Rica, a house with a view this amazing will require a 10 - 15 minute drive up hill. This house is a 5 minute drive from so much and within 20 minutes of everything we wanted to do. This made traveling with kids so easy and allowed us to really explore the area while also relaxing at the house often. This house is more than worth it, especially for the reasonable nightly rate in comparison to similar properties. Pura Vida 🌴

Had a great stay at the beautiful home with a great pool. We had everything we needed in kitchen to make a great breakfast for our group. Enjoyed relaxing by the pool and the washer and dryer were perfect to do laundry since we packed lightly. While outside we were approached by a few homeless people asking for handouts but once we were stern we had no issues. It was a great place to come back to after visiting family in the city. We would highly recommend for future visits.

Debbie was an extremely good host and accommodated us in every way. We would definitely come back next time in Uvita

I absolutely loved my stay, the views were beautiful! The pictures don’t do the home any justice. Geisel was an amazing host, very attentive and responsive she made certain we made it to the home safely the day we checked in being that we drove in from SJO. Also helped set up tours. Recommendations for tours and food were great as well! 10/10 will recommend. We even enjoyed our last evening sitting near the pool outside, watching the rain! I didn’t want to leave.

We had a wonderful time! Everything was exactly as described! Those views are AMAZING!! Lovely house, had everything we needed.

Paradise. This location is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and a true experience of being in Costa Rica nature. The property is surrounded by beautiful foliage, and has an amazing Mountain View. We loved watching the weather patterns throughout the days and the sunrises. The bed and linens are comfortable. The pool is relaxing and the perfect design with shallow and deep ends. We loved our experience and would absolutely return. It's definitely worth the short drive up the mountain to experience the amenities of this property.

the house was BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLL the scenery was amazing! Roberto was a great host and was very responsive and addressed all my questions & concerns. The chef he recommended was also great, food was good! Only 2 cons bugs inside the home but that’s not their faults, we understand it came with the area and the front door was locked our whole stay (we entered the house through the back sliding door) But no biggie! I still enjoyed my stay and would recommend Roberto’s house 100%.

This place is amazing. The views are spectacular! Jorge showed us around as soon as we arrived and was very informative. We saw Toucans from the pool area and heard the Howling Monkeys early in the morning. You will need a 4x4 to get up to the house, the road can difficult if it's raining. The bedrooms have A/C, but the main area with the kitchen does not. Because of this you will need to open the doors completely and this does cause bugs to be attracted to the lights in the house especially at night. It would have been nice to be able to close the screen to prevent spiders and flying bugs inside the house, but it was locked. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels and a washer and dryer if needed. The pool was too cold for us to get into, but that would have been an amazing experience as well. Just FYI, they have cameras around the entire outside. Front and back, so when you are outside enjoying the views they will have access to the area.

Eduardo's home feels like you are staying at a luxurious estate owned by a friend who has told you to come relax for a few days or a week while he is away on business. The home is elegant but comfortable and if there is anything you need, all you have to do is ask—Eduardo is always available and responsive to messages. Paola, the onsite housekeeper, is a wonderful resource, and an important part of the experience. She will greet you upon your arrival, explain how to access the property, help you with any laundry you need, provide daily maid service in your bedrooms, and help you prepare meals (all you have to do is buy the food/ingredients). If you don't speak Spanish, have your Google Translate app. ready, as Paola is a whiz at communicating with messages translated on her phone. There are great restaurants and shops nearby. We stayed in three different homes during our recent 9 day vacation in Costa Rica and this home was our favorite.

This is a beautiful place located in the jungle of Uvita. If you are scared of bugs and animals this place is not for you. With a dope open architect design you will feel like you’re in nature!

Trip Dates: 5-30-25 / 6-8-25 Our stay at the Jungle Roost was amazing and enjoyed by all members of our family, (2 Adults & 2 Teenage Daughters, 15 & 17). Ismael provided awesome concierge service and went above and beyond to make our trip effortless and enjoyable. Communication was excellent from the time of booking until the day we headed home. Ismael helped arranged multiple services and activates/outings prior to our arrival, which was very helpful. Ismael was attentive and responsive to all needs and checked in regularly to ensure everything was satisfactory, and provided assistance whenever needed. I just want Ismael to know that we appreciated his professionalism and dedication to going the extra mile to ensure that we had a great experience during our vacation. Can't say enough about the Villa, beautiful surroundings, private, wildlife galore, we really enjoyed the privacy and the daily visits from the monkeys, birds and lizards and much more. Highly recommended the Roost.

We loved the house , the space, the pool and even the surroundings in the house floor and the downstairs that has a lot to explore. Mafe ( Maria ) was an amazing host and always there to help and respond anything we needed. She helped accommodate us the best possible for any needs needed . We loved that each room had a bathroom , plus two more in the house overall. We loved the lady who cooked and also takes care of the house . Her name is Gloria and she truly made our stay feel like HOME. Her cooking is amazing and she does it with love. She was truly one of our favorites part of the stay. The location was good and even had a spot nearby with different spots to try different food . We truly enjoyed this Airbnb to the max. Gloria makes the home feel like home and Mafe made us feel at home in Costa Rica.

Beautiful home. One of the nicest I have stayed in. Pool is spectacular! The View is incredible. Staff is top notch. My recommendation for grocery would be BM in Dominical. Restaurants at the Marina in Quepos. And Restaurants in Ojchal. Please Note if you want to go to the Manual Antonio park you need to make online reservations. We found out the hard way and was not able to go see it plus it is also closed on Tuesdays. I would highly recommend this home.

Adriana was extremely helpful! From assisting with reservations to putting us in touch with local vendors - everything was perfect! The home is absolutely beautiful and very well kept. It was exactly as described. Adriana and her team was very proactive and responsive, regardless of the time. Would absolutely recommend staying in this home - already can’t wait to come back. For those not familiar with Costa Rica during the raining months, it is not unusual for the power to go out. This happened during our stay but Adriana and team were very attentive and despite being out of their control, made us as comfortable as possible.

This home is absolutely magical! Perched atop a mountain, it offers sweeping panoramic views of the ocean and the iconic Whale’s Tail beach—truly one of the most breathtaking views we’ve ever seen. Surrounded by treetops, we were treated to daily visits from howler monkeys, toucans, and other vibrant bird species, making the experience feel like a luxury treehouse retreat. The house itself is beautifully designed and fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The negative edge pool is a showstopper—floating there while taking in the endless ocean view was unforgettable. What truly sets this property apart is the host. Incredibly helpful and attentive, he provided concierge-level service, arranging our transportation to and from the airport, a rental car delivered right to the house, and even a private chef who cooked us some amazing meals. We could not have asked for more a better experience.

The stay was great. We had an incident the first night with power going out for 2 hours and then flickering on and off. Lots of bugs come inside the house if you leave doors open. Second night, we maintain doors closed and we were ok. The resort also has a strange environmental initiative that limits the use of air conditioning during the day, which in my opinion is inappropriate and should be made optional to the guests and not mandatory. We did request to remove the restriction and the host complied. The house is incredible and definitely an arquitectural masterpiece. Worth the experience.

We were staying at a nearby Airbnb when it lost power. I found Lizette’s place and messaged asking if they had power. She was quick to respond that they did. Their self check in option made our emergency last minute check in a breeze. Any time we needed something she was so quick to respond. The place itself is in an insanely gorgeous location. It’s a gated community and very safe. Beautiful sunrises/sunsets overlooking the ocean. We saw coati and iguanas. The place was incredibly clean. Like immaculate, really. It’s nearby to everything you need, about 3 minutes to town. Could not recommend this place enough it was an absolutely dream!

Perfect place to enjoy pleasant and relaxing days, surrounded by nature. The house is impeccable and beautifully designed. Pet friendly. The host is friendly, always responds and helps. He lives on the same property, but the place is completely private.

Villa Temenos is simply fantastic! We had the most wonderful stay. Truly so peaceful and beautiful, with toucans and macaws stopping by in the trees outside to say hello. Henry, the caretaker, is the friendliest and kindest person around. It was truly the best trip to relax & unwind within nature. The location to town is great and super easy to run in and out for groceries or to grab a bite to eat. The outdoor living space truly makes the villa! My husband and I kept commenting on how we’d never spent so much time outside on a trip and we loved it! We were there during the start of the green season so were able to have perfect mornings and afternoons then hangout under the covered area to listen to the evening rain and storms. Dean was responsive, hospitable, and provided the most helpful home guide. Truly appreciated! We can’t wait to return. Pura vida!

The place is perfect for relaxing, the view is amazing. The whole place was spotless, each room with its own air conditioning and a well-equipped kitchen!

Beautiful traditional home in a central part of San Jose. Close to the airport and car rentals. We loved the peaceful gardens, private and secured neighborhood. Home has plenty of spacious rooms. However, not all rooms have AC units. Nonetheless, home is fresh and well ventilated with celling fans. We loved having a quick stop in SJ here! Highly recommended

Really special place!! The views are incredible and we saw so much wildlife from our beautiful wrap-around deck and the pool area, including monkeys, scarlet macaws and agoutis. Loved the privacy and serenity of the villa, but was a short walk to the Mariposa hotel. Would definitely stay here again!!

Our stay at this stunning home was nothing short of PERFECT! A huge thank you to Daniela, our incredible host, who went above and beyond to make our trip seamless. She graciously allowed our big crew (all 19 of us—kids included!) to check in early after our drive from Jaco and even helped coordinate airport transportation. Talk about hospitality! The house itself is absolute DREAMS—spacious, beautifully designed, and surrounded by breathtaking views that had us all swooning. We had more than enough room to spread out, cook family feasts in the fully equipped kitchen, and grill dinners under the stars. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. From morning coffees on the patio to late-night laughs in the living areas, every moment here felt magical. We’re already counting down the days until we can return! Thank you, Daniela and team, for a 5-star experience we’ll never forget! 🌟

We had a great stay in San Jose! The place was huge with lots of space! The pool table was a nice touch and was in good condition. When we arrived, Leo gave us a quick tour of the place and showed us how to use everything. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The location was close to the airport and also close to the city center. All the bedrooms had AC, however the main house did not. We left the windows opened which helped, but also attracted a few bugs. Overall, it wasn’t bad at all. We all had a great time and this place was a great place to wrap up our time in Costa Rica 😊
