Apartment 3
We had a wonderful stay. The condo is modern & spacious. It was a great home away from home. Beds were high quality & comfortable. Manuel was very communicative - always responded quickly. We really liked the location - end of the dirt street, just out of town, but easy walk to all the restaurants, shops, grocery, beach. So quiet, yet convenient. A couple of small things would be nice to have - beach towels & kitchen dish towel (had to use one of our bathroom hand towels.) We all agreed that we really liked the place & would stay there again.

Playa Negra
Second time in Benoit's house and the truth we would be back, a very nice, quiet area, close to Playa Avellanas, Playa Negra and about 40 minutes from San Juanillo.

Casa Cocoa Nosara Apartment on second floor.
The place is very nice, this is completely new, Pablo is very friendly and attentive to anything, I really liked that there is where to leave the car safe, the location is very good, it is close to everything, even to the airport. I recommend it without any problem..

Villa Ballena, Hidden Paradise
Priscilla is 100% a super host. We travelled with our 1 year old daughter and I had asked Priscilla prior to if she had a high chair for my daughter to use and she did not. When we arrived she had one custom made for our daughter to use. How incredible is that?! Priscilla was beyond kind, helpful and was amazing with our daughter. Our daughter loved her and her dogs! We loved getting to know her. The pool is amazing! She has everything you’ll ever need! It’s perfect. We will be back and we will be bringing more family. The pictures online don’t do this place justice. It was truly amazing! One of a kind place and host!

Condo Coco by the Beach - Private Path to Beach
It was incredible! Close to the beach beautiful property. Lots of great restaurants and plenty to do 👍🏻😁

Cozy apartment with ocean and jungle views
Great 2 night stay in this beautiful and quiet place! Super welcoming and caring hosts, with a multitude of good attention to us, moreover, very responsive in case of need or question. We enjoyed ourselves, especially don't change anything! Thanks for everything! Kevin and Elodie

Tobacco Lodge #1 just 5 minutes from Carrillo Beach
Well indicated accommodation, well equipped, there is everything you need and you are not bothered by a vis-a-vis the neighborhood! The view of the vegetation from the hill across the street is nice! Also, the fact that the listing is upstairs has the advantage of not having too many insects in the house!

Down by the Sea beachfront Apartment
Our stay at this beautiful apartment exceeded our expectations! It was so peaceful and private and thoughtfully furnished with everything we needed. Most of our time was spent sitting in the shade at the edge of the beach, resting and enjoying the sea breezes. Our only disappointment was that we could not stay longer!

Right on the sand - Sámara, Costa Rica
Staying at Oscar's house was a perfect experience from start to finish! He was at the house upon our arrival and walked us through showing us how things worked, etc... He and his mom stayed next door the whole time and were helpful but not at all intrusive. They even shared some of the fresh fish that his mom caught with us which we cooked for one of our dinners at home one night! He also let us use his beach chairs and umbrellas, which was very helpful. The house was exactly as described and well stocked. I am VERY picky in terms of cleanliness, and it was very clean! Having two showers, toilet stalls, and bathroom sinks was very helpful for our family of 6. We also appreciated the outdoor shower to rinse the sand off. Town and several great restaurants were an easy 10 minute walk down the beach. We felt very safe in Samara, but we did bring in everything off the porch at night like Oscar recommended. I would absolutely rent this house again in a heart beat. We loved it here!!!

THE BEACH HOUSE, recently renovated!
This is our second stay at Lila's amazing property. We love it and are already planning our third trip! Hot tips for this place: it is rural. Get a good 4x4 to get here. It makes the trip so much smoother. Land Cruiser Prados are the way to go. I would not recommend cheaping out on the 4wd. I'd also suggest a Costa Rica eSIM for your cell phone. Coverage is spotty, at best. The beach is INSANE. If you do get here, and see its beauty, please keep it a secret! :) Lila's place is perfect. It has everything you need, and a bit more. It is truly an oasis. Lila is a wonderful communicator. Despite you feeling like you are at the end of the world, she's always there to help, and her local team are amazing. They show up and take care of anything immediately. Download a roadmap on your phone. Trust the local restaurants (El Barco and San Miguel are amazing). This area is sensational, and Lila makes it comfy, safe, and so satisfying! Thank you again, Lila!

beach house Costa de Oro
Had a wonderful experience Staying at The Beach house. pretty much you have your own private beach!Sabine and Nico are great hosts. A true tropical Costa Rica experience.

Casa Bambu
A Peaceful Getaway Near the Beach It was a beautiful house close to the beach, and it was the perfect mix of tranquility and convenience. Surrounded by nature, the property offered a private and peaceful retreat, ideal for relaxation. Despite the secluded feel, it was just a short distance from town, making it easy to access restaurants and any essentials. For us was perfect because we were looking for a quiet escape or a balance between nature and accessibility, this place offers the best of both worlds! Looking forward to visit again.

Beachfront Oasis Overlooking Callejones Beach
We had a wonderful time at this little beachfront property. The sunsets were unbelievable! We were visited by cats and dogs and birds. We got to watch locals enjoy the beach on the Sunday that we arrived and we were even invited to join the bonfire. It was a great place to end our vacation!

Beachfront Bliss! Steps to the beach.
Our stay at Casa Blanca was everything we could have hoped for. The view and pool were spectacular and taking in the sunsets from the patio was our favourite way to end the day. Highly recommend bringing in Mauricio for a private meal and exploring Marbella for lunch at the Tiki Hut.

Casa Sandralina
This place has a great location, privacy and is a great house!

Modern villa with pool 350 m from the sea
Everything is excellent!!! I think everything is better than the photos, it met all my expectations ! 100% recommended!! Too nice and cozy place

Brand new apartment #2 exclusive beach front
The best recommendation one can give is a repeat reservation. This was our second visit to Villa Majagua and we will definitely reserve it again when we return. The property itself is located on Playa Garza and the one minute walk to the beach is through a beautiful garden awash with birds and butterflies. The property is but a five minute walk to a cafe, restaurant, and grocery store. The apartments are all clean with well equipped kitchens. The showers have great pressure and abundant hot water. The beds are comfortable and each unit has a small porch and laundry facilities. There is parking for cars. The hosts are readily available and responsive as they live on the property. We thoroughly enjoy Playa Garza.

New Build, breathtaking ocean view Condos
Great place. Beautiful view. It did not make a difference for us but the elevator was not working most of the time we were there. The place is on the 4th floor. I suggest confirming the elevator if you have folks in the party who don't / cannot do stairs. Again, a great place and we would gladly stay there again.

Brand new apartment #3 exclusive beach front
Lovely spot with a great price. We had a really fun two weeks here. It's a beautiful property with a private path to the beach. The yoga platform and pool were both so nice. The kitchen was basic but had everything we needed. We slept really well with a comfortable king bed, blackout curtains, and AC in the bedroom. We loved the neighborhood, in particular being able to walk to Perozah, Estrellitas, and Malacrianza for vegan food, Blue Garza for supplies, and South Guiones for sunset. Claudia was very easy to coordinate with. Would definitely stay here again!

Walk to everything, Pelada Beach, Guiones Beachside Condo
We had a great time staying here! The host was very responsive and even messaged us warning about strong currents one day in the ocean. Super attentive. The place itself is wonderful. Spacious, very clean, very much like the photos. The beds were comfortable and any issues we may have had the host was quick to respond as well. It is in a fantastic area- so close to the beach, and super walkable to whatever you needed. I would say the only thing to be alittle cautious of is the floors. The tile is beautiful but was alittle slippery when on the carpets however I did message our host about it and she let me know she would work on a solution for it for the future. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you so much!

Residencia Anita - modern beach condo with pool
Great stay! Easy walk to the beach and to town. Great shared pool area with very friendly residents within the condo complex. Definitely recommend staying here for a quiet and relaxing Costa Rica vacation.

Brand New apartment #1 exclusive beach front
Wonderful Condo. Hosts are very kind and understanding and the location is perfect for those looking for a relaxing getaway. being able to walk to the beach very quickly is a huge plus.

Casa Flores (top floor, renovated, great location)
Boris’ s place was a beautiful and comfortable space. Very close to Playa Pelada and very walkable to another bigger beach. Was a quiet building but some noise did carry from el pepperoni on New Year’s Eve but that only comes around once a year. Was very comfortable for our family of four and there was plenty to do in the area! Beds were VERY comfortable and linens were great! I would recommend!

Entire condo with stunning ocean view!!! ☼ ☼ ☼
We had a wonderful stay in this spacious condo. The view is breathtaking and the place has everything we needed. Even on a hot night the pool has a bit of a breeze, as you are up above the main town. As long as you don’t mind the stairs , the place is absolutely wonderful. Parking is included and the gated entrance is easy. We had a great time !
