Linda Vista Green Soul, near Monteverde

JasonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Amazing place. We loved hanging out on the deck and watching nature throughout the day. We also used the hot tub and took a walk through the gorgeous property down to the pool area for a swim. Also made a nice salad from what we collected in the garden. Thanks for the hospitality in a very special place!

THE RED VILLA at Villas La Paz

BriannaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The location for this airbnb was actually perfect for us! We were upgraded from the red villa to the yellow villa and we were so grateful and excited to start our adventure!The hosts were so amazing and kind with all of our questions and needs, we borrowed their bikes and road down to the beach it took about 3 minutes it was about half a mile away to playa conchal !! We also went to two other beaches we did drive to them though we enjoyed playa Mina’s and playa pirate 🏴‍☠️! The airbnb was soooo spacious and everything was clean and tidy they also offered two fridges and any cooking appliance imaginable! We also saw so much wildlife during our stay here we saw howler monkeys and all types of birds! Also the pool is huge!! We can’t wait to visit Costa Rica again sometime in the near future and we will definitely be staying here again!!!

Moonshine Inn - 1BR loft

TiffanyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Words cannot express how much I loved this place. From the moment we got there Martin and Lorena greeting us with welcome arms. They recommended places and activities and the Airbnb was just incredible. I love that it was a gated community and that you could see animals, monkeys, sloths and birds right off the balcony. I even loved the trail that was in the back. When we come back to Manuel Antonio we will definitely book again! Thank you both for this awesome experience!!

VILLA ARAGON Private Villa AC. Beach Access + Pool

CarolineRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This place is absolutely incredible. Clean, comfortable, and a great gathering space for family. We LOVED the pool and outdoor area, made dinners and slept well in the cozy beds. The walkway to the beach is extremely convenient but sooo magical!!!! I loved the black sand beach and enjoyed laying in the sun with just a short two minute walk back to the house. Muchísimas gracias!!

Hanging Rustic Cabin with AC and Jacuzzi #2

SpencerRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
David was an amazing host! He was flexible with check-in, and the cabin was super cute and relaxing! The property is about a 20 minute walk from downtown La Fortuna, but there are cheap Ubers in the area. There are some restaurants and a local watering hole within walking distance! Great stay!

Tropical Oasis 5 min to SJO airport W/ cozy deck

ShalmaliRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Kenneth’s place totally exceeded our expectations. It is indeed a Tropical Oasis. The main bedroom double doors open up to a beautiful covered patio and garden. Very tastefully decorated, this place is spotless. No bugs inside the house, fans in every room though no A/c (didn’t bother us). Clear instructions about check in and check out. It was quiet and peaceful at night and during early morning hours.

Pura Uvita - Whale's tail ocean view, modern home

SaraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was our first time in Costa Rica and we loved everything about this home. Be mindful you will need 4x4 because these mountains and roads are no joke. The house was absolutely beautiful, we loved having the bedrooms closed off and having the air conditioner (and bug free) and then having the living space and kitchen being open to the outside and the pool. You really do become one with nature in this home, so if you do not like bugs or insects, Costa Rica is not for you. I actually found it soothing listening to the lizards on the walls and watching them eat the other little bugs. My husband and I were able to enjoy horseback riding and a boat tour through the jungle thanks to the help of Loren, he made everything so easy for us and was always available. We got lost trying to find the house the first time after Loren showed us, but once you learn the mountain, it became easy. With the craziness of the US right now, it felt good to disconnect.

LauraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful stay though very brief as we just needed a stopover place to spend the night on our drive. The host could not have been more responsive and the Airbnb was very comfortable and clean. We wish that we had been able to stay longer! Highly recommend!!

Beachfront house in Playa Ballena

RebeccaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Deborah’s Beach House is the most magical place we’ve ever stayed. It was like Swiss family Robinson meet Dr Doolittle’s house in paradise! The jungle surroundings and the ocean front and the magic of the house were dream like. The beach and the ocean were private and beautiful and perfect for swimming. The animals were really fun from the geckos and tree frogs to the hermit crabs on the beach. To the parrots in the morning, the brown pelicans on the waves, the agouti that came every day at 5 PM and the howler monkeys calling out every morning. It was absolutely fantastic! I will see this place in my dreams! Thank you for this wonderful stay! Favorite restaurants… 1. Ballena Bistro near the house 2. Restaurante Marino Ballena

Our stay at Steven’s place was incredible. The place looks just as listed and is every bit as stunning. Steven was a very responsive host and was insightful about the area. The roads near the house are a little rough but totally worth it. I would highly recommend staying here.

Casa Mamaluma, Private Oceanview retreat

MarleneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Mamaluma was such a relaxing place with absolutely incredible views. Bird sitings were numerous and we heard far more than we were able to see. The wildlife was also both surprising and stunning, from the green and black poison dart frog to the capuchins and coati. We even caught a rare siting of a great curassaw!! This is truly a piece of paradise and would come back in a heartbeat! Malene, Martin and Eduin were very responsive; and we thank you for the great suggestions in a very well detailed welcome package!!

Rainforest Retreat

ErinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Peter and Rosa’s home is a little slice of paradise. I wanted a jungle house, and this one delivered. We saw many beautiful birds and iguanas, and our children adored the pool. The small neighborhood was safe and secure, and the torn of Dominical was colorful and friendly. Amazing experience.

El Castillo En Las Nubes-Best Views

KevinRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Wow what an amazing view! Also an amazing garden full of hummingbirds and other lovely birds. Friendly horse that came to visit twice and reached its head over the fence. Neighbor Lilander gave us a picturesque horseback ride with a gorgeous jungle hike to a private waterfall. El Castillo is a remote, steep village. The bakery is terrific and the little market is super helpful. We enjoyed La Ventanita and Fusion for dinners. Anna and the other hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. Thank you!!

Casa Luna FULL HOUSE

MollieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved staying here! It was family friendly and beautiful! I didn’t realize it was two separate spaces when we booked but it would be so perfect for two families traveling together wanting their own space. We barely used the upstairs space but it was nice to have the extra room! Val and Oscar were super responsive and helpful with recommendations and suggestions. We loved the gated community. It was not very walkable to anything but we really enjoyed Hermosa and the proximity to Jaco! We would definitely stay here again!

Casa Tranquila

DaleRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My wife and I were lucky to spend multiple weeks in Tania's Casa Tranquila bungalow. Tania was always very responsive when situations required her attention and working through the caretakers, Andres and Migdahlia, things were resolved quickly. The setting was exactly as he had hoped with the balcony providing an excellent vantage point to observe howler monkeys, iguanas, agouti, white-nosed coati, and a multitude of birds and butterflies. The bungalow has all the necessary necessities and the air conditioning was heaven-sent during our hot, dry season visit. Migdahlia and Andres did a wonderful job assisting us with the care of the bungalow and providing a weekly light cleaning. They were especially patient with us since we do not speak Spanish. All in all, Montezuma was exactly what we were hoping for on this trip with its funky vibe, good restaurants, shopping and beautiful beaches. We also took advantage of the trails and visiting Montezuma Falls-gorgeous! Bring a 4WD vehicle!
