Family-friendly vacation rentals in Santa María

Great place to stay loved the hot tub and the view

I really enjoyed Milicia place. It was very convenient. Easy to get around I would recommend it for anyone who is going to visit San Jose Costa Rica

Amazing! We’ve done this trip in various locations across costa rica and Brian’s place was by far the best, especially for larger groups. The dreamy outdoor kitchen had all the best appliances and tools you could ever need. The pool and lounge area felt like what you would experience at a high end resort. The music hookup and lighting at night was perfect for relaxing and breathtaking sunsets and nighttime conversations. Some of us could even get in a morning workout given the great gym area available and would end it with a cold plunge. I literally can’t think of anything else we could ever need! Beyond being an absolute paradise, Brian went above and beyond to welcome us and ensure we were comfortable. It’s rare these days that the host is as invested in their guests’ experience as Brian, and it’s clear that he really wants his guests to feel at home and welcome. He always promptly answered any questions and was eager to help and give recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!

it's a Great value in a good area , very safe with gates. easy to get to, and easy for Ubers to pick up..

The whole place was great, we had enough space, could relax by the pool, cook and enjoy the time. We were able to easily spend two more nights there on request. Would recommend this to anyone.

A absolute privilege to spend a few days here as a family. A gem of a house that felt immediately like a home. We loved the quirks and the passion for enjoyment. Top of our price range but to us it was worth every penny. Thank you Tucker.

Another great stay at this apartment in Escazú! Everything was perfect, as always. The place is spotless, well located, and the hosts are incredibly responsive and helpful — super quick to reply and always ready to assist. Definitely a 5-star experience, highly recommended!

A stunning house in the perfect location! This was a great spot from which to explore this part of the coast. As other reviewers have said, the drive to the property is steep but paved, and there is a long set of stairs from the parking spot to the house. The house is beautifully decorated and has all of the appliances you'll need. The property manager was available when we needed him and gave us great recommendations to local restaurants. We'd stay here again!

Mauricio's apartment is extremely comfortable, spacious, bright and cool. My family and I had a very pleasant time. Mauricio's attention and support made everything easier. We'd love to stay again.

I cannot say enough good things about Gustavo's home and how much good helpful information he gave me. He even compiled a book about the area and what to do. The apartment is phenomenal, all the live plants, the man has taste and style. it was just what i needed and would go back anytime he would let me

We were very satisfied, thank you very much. It is a very nice apartment with a view of the garden. Very good location. Great community. We harvested a bannana perennial for the first time.

This place was absolutely amazing and beautiful! The house with the open layout was perfect, the pool and the waterfall right out back was perfect, and then 20 steps to the beach. It’s not a tourist area at all so it’s pretty much a private beach. Israel, the caretaker was absolutely incredible! He was so nice and kind and helpful. He responded to anything that we needed. If you need something, ask him, he is the man. If you are going to do a mangrove boat tour, don’t book elsewhere, look no farther. Israel has the boat 10 steps from the driveway. He took eight of us on an amazing mangrove boat tour and saw monkeys and crocodiles and the mangroves. He is so good with kids! He just wants the kids to have a good time. We really appreciated him and enjoyed hanging out with him. Do you want to ride horses on the beach? No problem, he’ll have horses out back whenever you want them! And everything he set up for us, we felt was pretty reasonably priced. Thank you for an amazing week!!!

Well located apartment with amenities to get to know San Marcos de Tarrazú. I recommend it.

Absolutely loved this place! We had a friend trip of 4 and this was perfect. Super secluded. It felt like a mico-White Lotus without the deaths. Charlie, the property manager, was super helpful and very responsive. I would 100% recommend this place. A gem!

Regina and Diego were the outstanding. Starting from their instructions to giving recommendations on where to stay. Their English is superb. The house is very spacious and has everything you need. I would highly recommend.

Amazing place, you’ll have everything you need. Johann and family are kind and very helpful would recommend to everyone 5 star

We didn't want this vacation to end! This place was so beautiful and quiet. The pool, bar and outdoor kitchen were perfect. So well designed. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking the grounds and picking up fresh mangoes, coconuts, limes, starfruit and bananas. The wonderful scent of the ylang ylang trees was everywhere. Absolutely amazing. The house was spacious and we loved the doors of every room and the beautiful arched windows. Great architecture! The towels smelt fresh and were of great quality. The welcome book was truly helpful. Any question we had - the answer was in there. Very well done! One week was just not enough.

We had a life changing truly wonderful experience here. We are a family of four with boys aged 10 and 12. I can't recommend this house more highly for a couple or family. It is right in the rainforest and we saw Coati (a type of Costa Rican racoon), monkeys (we had to wait until day 10 for this treat!), a tayrah, toucans and much more. Augustin and Kendry (a husband and wife team) act as the concierge for the house and could not have been more friendly and helpful. Augustin met us very late at night near the village of Portalon and escorted us to the house. This was invaluable as we'd travelled for over 24 hours and driven 3 hours in the dark from the airport. We had a problem with the AC but Augustin resolved it within hours. We've written a ton of recommendations in the guest book so if you go look out for these. Thank you Kendry and Augustin for helping to make our stay so special, Warm wishes, Frances and Gareth.

I can't say enough good things about the rental property and the Two Costa Rica Vacation staff. Jorge, our primary contact was FANTASTIC!!! He was responsive and easy to reach with any issues/questions/scheduling needs. The house and property were top notch. We were only there for 3 nights and wished we could have stayed longer.

Had a great time with my family. The kids loved the pool and my wife and I loved the house and the nature around us. I think they have a deal with the animals and insects where they come great you on your stay :) we saw a 3 sloths, many birds, and neat insects

a good stay, we hope to return, recommended

If you are looking at too many Airbnb reviews and not sure which to book, make it easy and book this one! Gorgeous balconies and pools, daily monkey visits, toucans and scarlet macaws galore, and a stunning open concept house with lots of space. Clean, easy check-in and out, and close to everything you could want in town. If you need a lot of privacy in the Airbnb, do know that the upper bedroom is lofted and one of the lower bedrooms must be passed through to access the main stairwell and exit. This should not stop you from booking - just be aware! Jean was a delight and we hope to return one day.

This house is beautiful. It had a fully stocked kitchen, lots of indoor and outdoor space, and feels very private. The pool was great and the outdoor shower and bathroom made cleaning off sand and keeping the house and pool clean easy. The beach felt like a private beach with almost no other people as far as the eye can see. The surf is strong, but the kids had a great time boogie boarding, but do take caution not to go out too far. There are lots of friendly dogs in the neighborhood that roam, but they didn’t bother us. It is about 20 mins from town, so expect to have to drive a bit for amenities. That was fine for us because we were looking for peace and quiet and got it! Comfortable and beautiful house. I recommend.

We loved our time at Casa Feliz! Highlights were sitting on the porch in the mornings watching the birds, hiking up toward Cerro Chirripó, a walk across the swinging bridge to Finca Brinca for lattes and banana bread, tasting the garden, and exploring the beautiful rio Talari. Brad and Nikki were a joy to be around and have put so much love and intentionality into their property, it’s truly a gem and they are talented and creative! This whole valley is a really special place and we hope to return!
