Beachfront vacation rentals in Ballena Bay

We had a lovely week. As you can see in the photos, this place is comfortable and beautiful. It has beautiful spaces like the hammocks, the pool and a beautiful ocean view terrace. I highly recommend it!!!

The studio by the sea is wonderful, serene and beautiful. It's steps from the beach, surrounded by lush nature and very comfortable. The space has all the amenities needed to enjoy your stay, well appointed kitchen, bath, linens, beach towel. It's clean and tranquil. Heike and Hans are super friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the area & Costa Rica in general. They were so kind to accomdate our dogs, give them treats, water and lots of love. When we return to Coyote, we will definitley visit with them again.

Beautiful off the beaten path home next to the beach. House was beautiful with air conditioning that helped on the hot and humid days. Beach was just across the street which was nice though rip tides were possible so had to swim during certain times of the day to avoid them. Jefferson was always responsive with anything we needed and even offered to do laundry for a small fee which was nice and convenient.

This stay had absolutely everything we wanted! A spacious gorgeous interior, beautiful pool and yard, steps from the beach and close drive to Jaco. Everything was so comfortable, and the kitchen is very well-stocked, even spices! Maud was the perfect host. She was on top of every need or issue immediately (unexpected power outage in the town) and arranged solutions quickly.

We had a great time at David's place. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room between the bedrooms, main living area, back patio and the pool, and the deck above the pool area. Beautiful views and easy access to the ocean. The pool was cleaned every day and the cleaner came twice during our 11 day stay. The kitchen is more than adequately equipped and there was plenty of room for multiple people to be cooking or visiting in the kitchen. The iguana's were everywhere and we enjoyed the two cats that came around regularly. Communication with the house manager was good. She does work a full time job in addition to managing the house so the responses aren't immediate, but they happened rather quickly.. She setup the private chef for us who catered to our various dietary needs. It was delicious! Would definitely stay here again!

Michel made for a great host. Esterillos Centro is extremely private and convenient to Esterillos Oeste, Hermosa, and Jaco. Plenty of groceries to choose from! We had a wonderful stay!

Great communication and location! Would recommend!

Great remote location for epic surf. Airbnb is modern, well stocked, and you can’t beat being steps from Marbella.

The house was great and Katie was super helpful and hospitable! The location of the house is great and the house is very nice.

We were 4 friends, we had a memorable 2 week stay. Very comfortable and pleasant house, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed, well appointed backyard, swimming pool, bbq, ... Several accessories available to us (boards, air mattresses for the pool, etc.) We recommend without hesitation. Christy was very proactive, she helped us find everything we were looking for and much more, she put us in touch with people in the area for activities, services, etc. In my top 3 Airbnb owners and I saw a lot. If we could, I would give it 6 stars!

Real jungle feeling - wildly romantic - Fantastic views of the sea - in the rustic ambience - roaring waves on the beach - huge garden with table tennis, pool and many seating - lounging and hammocks for chilling - animal watching (nasal bear, capewara, iguanas etc...) more Costa Rica does not work 🤩💯🇨🇷 as in a fairy tale - unreal beautiful - particularly beautiful was the reception of Ximena, which gave us many tips for the area and activities- Sister 🌴🏝️

Aaron's house was one the best Airbnbs we've experienced and perfect for a couple or small family looking for a small slice of paradise. The property is very private and secure and the spaces are exceptionally well thought out. Besides the close proximity to Baker's beach, the outdoor space including the verandah, pool and lounging areas are thoughtfully designed for enjoyment. The kitchen is very functional for cooking meals at home. The living room is comfortable and if the sliding door to the verandah is open, it's a perfect outdoor living set up. Overall, it is obvious that Aaron has thought of details that can make or break an Airbnb experience and we appreciated that this home felt like a home and not just a space with the basics necessary for rental. Thank you, Aaron!

This is a great house, very convenient and comfortable, perfect to relax on vacation.

Karen & Chiri’s place is a must stay! we had the pleasure of staying here for our honeymoon and their place was a major part of what made our vacation so wonderful. we definitely plan to come back and when we do we want to stay here! the town is perfect and easily accessible. the beach is gorgeous and there’s a larger town a quick drive away if you’re looking for something busier. we enjoyed the privacy and serene environment not only of their place but also the town.

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!

The sunsets alone were worth every penny!! We raced back to the house every night just to watch the colors change. The house itself is quaint, clean, organized and quite perfect! It’s small but they have what is needed to hang your clothes as there is not a lot of room to leave open luggage. Our family ran and played on the quiet beach. I think we saw 5 people total.. great hard packed sand for morning and evening walks. There was a spot that was very dirty (glass, plastic, etc) from high tide that you would want to wear shoes to walk through. Giovanni was thorough in communications and quick to respond! His directions were very much appreciated. We knew there weren’t a ton of amenities nearby. But it’s no joke, when you leave the house pack what you need as it’s not near activities and has very limited eating. Not an issue for most - just a heads up!

Fantastic host! Communication was great and helpful. Great location! On the beach, private and tranquil setting. We love the pool and the grounds. It’s right on the trial to Playa Granda for surfing. You cant go wrong staying here. Kicking back In a hammock with a cold beverage and listening to the ocean is the perfect ending to a day of playing at the beach.

The beach house was wonderful - modern and comfortable with views right onto the sea. The location right on the beach is amazing as one can pop out to the beach whenever one feels like it for swimming or surfing. We loved sitting and watching the sea in the late afternoon and listening to the waves at night. The beach house is located in a quiet part of the beach but there is a great restaurant only a couple of minutes walk away if one feels like going out. Maggie the property manager was super friendly and helpful. She met us with the keys upon arrival, showed us around and helped us arrange local day trips during our stay. She really enhanced our experience of staying there. Great place to stay for a relaxing beach vacation! Would happily stay here again if in Samara.

where do i start, location, location this place will leave u breathless, its peaceful, clean, serene, when you first walk in the jungle the green the lush gardens welcomes you you then proceed to where the rooms are and the views of the beach just steps away from you room makes you feel in paradise, breakfast its served on the beach everymorning, you can just feel the stress melting away everyday, the rooms are clean, private,its in the heart of santa teresa plenty of walkable places to go yet while you are inside the compound just will not here the noises from the street. the staff, Glori is an amazing host she is kind, humble, & her warmn heart makes you feel you have been friends forever, Rosa keeps everything clean and neat she is very polite friendly and a great cook & don chepe is always so helpful and kind. if you see Nekaui available i urge tou to snatch it right away i promise you it will not disappoint & you will have an amazing experience.

Our family of five (with three kids under four) had the most incredible month at this Airbnb! The location was perfect, with a breathtakingly gorgeous beach just steps away. We felt completely safe the entire time, which was so important with little ones. The house itself was comfortable and well-maintained, but what truly made our stay exceptional was the wonderful staff. Maureen, the housekeeper, was incredibly helpful and kind, making everything seamless for us. And we can’t recommend Domingo the cook enough—her dinners were a highlight of our trip! We used her services every night, and every meal was absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a stress-free, beautiful getaway with top-notch hospitality, this is the place to be! We can’t wait to return!

Pia's place is probably my favorite AirBnb ever. It's a little beachside oasis right in the heart of Santa Teresa. Walk across the beautifully landscaped yard and onto the sand of one of the best beaches in Costa Rica. Iguanas, monkeys, butterflies and birds everywhere. A great hotel next door for good meals and pool time for kids. Pia is an exceptionally cool and kind and helpful host. And the house itself is awesome -- beautifully designed, well maintained, gorgeous. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Great place to spend a relaxing vacation. Douglas was very responsive and the property was in a beautiful location. If you arent familiar with Costa Rica, be prepared the roads and long travel times. The location is in a beautiful location, but doesnt have alot of locations near the property. We were looking for that so it was perfect. Douglas' instructions and recommendations were very helpful and we really enjoyed the pool on property. We also had private chefs and massages on site which were great.

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.

First of all, I would like to thank Rick: his house was clean, well equipped with a huge kitchen, wash machine and dryer, AC in all rooms and situated in a lovely garden with a nice pool. The communication with Rick always worked well and he was very responsive. Now to the downsides (which aren't Ricks fault and beyond his influence): we traveled almost all other parts of Costa Rica during the weeks before our stay in Guiones and where shocked by the price level (a pizza, some pasta and a bit of shrimps were more than USD 170 in a restaurant nearby), the dirt (along the road is a lot of trash which you won't find in the rest of the country) and the terrible smell in the village. And while the beach is nice, the rest of the area is really not worth a visit
