Guest house holiday rentals in Nicoya Peninsula

Silvia was a wonderful host and the local groundskeepers were lovely as well. Silvia went above and beyond, helping us to communicate to the airline regarding our luggage that didnt arrive. the place was exactly as posted and an amazing value, and was perfect for what we needed. it was wonderfully located from all the sights, and perfectly secluded for our family with little kids. We would love to stay here again when we come back to Cosra Rica!

Absolute paradise, literally steps from the ocean. Hearing the waves from the patio was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend.

Great clean Airbnb in a central location. Hot water, parking and a good kitchen. Very good!

Great location around the geographic center of Santa Teresa Beach Easy to walk to local spots for Yoga and Surf and a variety of Restaurants. Great vibe and friendly hosts!

Having stayed in Nosara for several months, I can wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb, which I believe is the best-value accommodation in Nosara. On top of that, the location is excellent. The house is beautiful, well-maintained, and, most importantly, the hosts are incredibly kind, helpful, and always available. I can’t recommend it enough—go for it!

Thank you for letting us to stay at your beautiful place, love it

Great place. Friendly host. Lovely views

Laurie and Barbara were excellent hosts, going over and above expectations at every turn. They were extremely helpful when our rental car had a flat tyre, driving out to find us on the main road to Tilaran. Laurie changed the tyre for us because the rental car didn't have the correct tools. Laurie and Barbara drove us to places and restaurants we would not have otherwise found. The views from the road above Lake Arenal are truly spectacular. The Casita is fairly close to many unique attractions. It is quite private and quiet, except for some men who were working on a building next door. The tastefully decorated Casita has a beautiful view of Lake Arenal from the back yard. It has an excellent washer and dryer, a comfortable king sized bed, a lovely bathroom and a comfy couch for watching TV. The kitchen had enough equipment for basic food preparation, which we appreciated. Any time of day it was great to spend time soaking up the sun and bird watching/listening. We saw/heard hummingbi

I had an incredible stay at Joe’s place! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free, and the space itself was spotless, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. Joe is a fantastic host—super responsive, friendly, and always happy to help with any questions or recommendations. The location was ideal—just a short walk to the beach and great bars, yet tucked away enough to feel private and peaceful. One of the highlights of the stay was the private “rooftop”, which offered a great spot to relax.. As someone who needed to get a bit of work done during my trip, I really appreciated the little desk setup. It was comfortable, and the fast internet made working remotely very easy. I can’t recommend Joe’s place highly enough and would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks again, Joe, for such a wonderful experience!

We stayed three nights in this brand new studio in April 2025, which is just one minute walk from a super nice beach playa San Miguel. Everything was fine and to a high standard, and we really enjoyed the small pool for a dip when it was hot. There is a safe parking behind the gate and we didn’t miss anything.

This place was very cute and homey. The host was very responsive and flexible with our checkin

Absolutely loved staying here! Perfect for 2 people looking to explore most of the day. Literally 2 min walk from the beach and walkable to all other restaurants. The hosts are the friendliest people, welcomed us immediately and always waving/saying hi when we came back for the day. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Extremely responsive and knowledgeable hosts. We were greated right at the door and received a wealth of recommendations around the local attractions and wildlife. The gardens around the guest house were stunning! The hosts also included beach chairs and coolers for use at the beach which we found very helpful. My one critique; this is very much not a private stay. While still a highly rated experience, the blinds would not fully close and the outdoor pool/garden area was very open as it sits right behind the hosts home and had a camera. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would recommend!

Our stay at this place was tropical perfection. The hosts have created a dreamy coastal escape that was better than we could have hoped for. This new property is beautiful, quiet and literally a few minutes walk from the beach. The studio is set back a comfortable distance from the main house so that it felt like we had plenty of privacy without being isolated. The new construction is beautiful and well-designed, providing plenty of natural indoor light and high ceilings to make it feel spacious. The air conditioning and fans were very efficient and effective. The back patio, outdoor shower and private pool make this feel like a truly luxurious bargain for the price. The hosts provided plenty of great kitchen amenities, including a full-size fridge, which comes in handy in such tropical climates. If you're visiting the area, we can't recommend this property highly enough. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Casa Suave is a beautiful modern home with incredible pool and amazing views of Playa Carillo and Samara. It is high up in the Santo Domingo neighborhood. The road getting there is a little bumpy at times, but repair and maintenance of the road is pending. Nadia and her husband Richard were amazing hosts! We felt like we had made new “best friends!” The pool and patio area of Casa Suave and the spectacular views are amazing. Our room was downstairs and very private and comfortable with a plunge pool facing East. The landscaping all around the property is very beautiful with several varieties of blooming plants and palms. It is minutes away from several eateries in Samara and close to neighboring Playa Carillo.

Trying to think of the write words to describe this spot and they have it spot on - Pura Vida Magic!! A blend of a tropical paradise and spiritual magic. I personally fell in love with the pool - my absolutely dream pool! Andres and Yuko were such incredible hosts that made me feel at home and I felt so integrated in their community, I one day may have to fully move here lol. I thought I would explore the beaches and Nosara more but I ended up just wanted to stay at the property. The local area around was even more special than the main part of town - Le Luna, the local beach, secrett gelato to name a few. I rented an ATV and it was another highlight. My favorite other areas around was Organico grocery, Bodhi for yoga, and Rosi's Soda for local food, Labo boutique for clothing and swimsuits.. I might be missing others. I was a little to timid to participate in Yuko's healings this time around but the property naturally healed me and was exactly what my soul needed. I am so grateful <3

Really great spot! The place is very close to the Santa Elena downtown (you can walk easily to restaurants, cafes, stores, etc.) but it also feels like a little private oasis, with great views, lovely shaded trees, great swing and the pool (our kid didn't mind that is wasn't heated!). Inside is cozy and comfortable. The hosts responded quickly, were kind and helpful.

We had an amazing three days stay at Andrew’s guest house! The place was incredibly cozy and clean, making us feel right at home. Everything worked perfectly, and the breathtaking views of the sunset over the valley were truly unforgettable. We are so grateful for the opportunity to stay here; it has definitely become one of our favorite places in Costa Rica. Thank you, Andrew, for being such a wonderful host!

The whole group was very responsive and worked well with eachother and their guests.

The room had a really clean look with no clutter. Everything you will have at your home she had for you. The pool was clean and cool. I felt safe because of the locked gates

We loved everything about our stay. The bungalow was private, fully equipped and had the best outdoor shower ever! Vincent was incredibly helpful and responsive to our questions and connecting us with a tour. The whole place has a very welcoming and inclusive vibe and Milly was a great breakfast host and all day host! We will be back!

Great place to stay, beautiful surroundings and walkable to the nature preserve. Gino is a great host he was very friendly and helpful. The space was nice and clean and well equipped.

It was clean, quiet, safe and cool. It was amazing that we were in the middle of it all, but since we were off the main street, it was peaceful. Henri was a fantastic host—super helpful, and also respectful of our privacy. We highly recommend visiting the animal sanctuary (SIBU) and also booking a hiking and birdwatching tour through the website Viator. Victor was our guide and we loved him! We also highly recommend Sunrise Cafe for breakfast, which is in Playa Pelada, and Al Chile Mexican food for the best guacamole I have ever had. The beach is beautiful and it seems as though the whole town comes out for the star of the show—sunset.

Lovely, quaint cottage. It was immaculate & we felt very safe. I really enjoyed the adoring porch cat, which I called Phoebe😊
