Villa vacation rentals in Papagayo Peninsula

We spent a month at Claire's place and it was so relaxing ! The house is beautiful, fully equipped and peaceful surroundings. Waking up to hummingbirds and the sound of monkey was a wonderful experience. We went there with 2 babies and a toddler the house was equipped with a high chair and a travel crib which was perfect. The pool and the house were cleaned weekly to ensure we had a clean environment. The king size beds are truly comfortable and the bunk beds are a great addition for families with young kids (even though they were a bit squeaky !). The only detail that wasn't a 10/10 was the wifi that was patchy and the smart TVs that were really slow and would close unexpectedly. Claire and Christophe were really friendly and would always answer our questions quickly. I would recommend to anyone who visits Costa Rica to book Villa Loulou without hesitation !

Amazing stay! The location is perfect—close to beaches and supermarkets. The house is spacious, ideal for large families or groups of friends. We really enjoyed the pool and the BBQ area. Everything was comfortable and well set up for a great time. Would definitely come back!

Our stay at Antonio’s place was nothing short of amazing. Antonio was super helpful and responsive to all requests. He made our stay stress free as he provided awesome recommendations for a driver as well as a personal chef for my birthday. Cannot recommend this place enough! If you’re considering it for your stay in Costa Rica, do it. :)

We had a wonderful week at Viktor’s house. Plenty of room for my family of four. My 2 adult children were able to work from there and when the internet was spotty we had access to the beach club a few minutes away. Hacienda pinilla and avallenas are wonderful areas to explore with so much just a short drive away. Thank you for a memorable vacation Victor and Arturo !

Dave is the man. Not only made us feel welcome and right at home. Quick to respond. Fixed the shower in no time at all. Gave us so many great recommendations for the rest of our trip. All were exactly as expected. Thanks Dave. See you again soon.

Returning to Playa Avellanes after 25 years was a real treat. It was really nice to meet some of the locals and talk about what has changed and how special this place is thank you so much to our amazing hosts. It was perfect.

We just came back from a week-long stay in this beautiful house. The pictures shown in the listing do not do justice, it is a very large house with plenty of room for 4 adults, the views from the pool and master bedroom cannot be beat, the location is great (listening to the howler monkeys at night was an added bonus), there was always plenty of hot water, and the pool is huge and was kept in pristine condition. The only slight negative we encountered was the requirement to not place any toilet paper in the toilets but rather place it in trash bags (we were not aware of this requirement prior to arrival). Other than that one minor surprise, we would definitely recommend Payton's house to anyone who wants a fun and relaxing vacation.

Great views. The top of the world pool within the community has unbelievable views at sunset. You’ll need to drive a little ways to get to many of the beaches but there are lots of options. House was comfortable and worked great for large group.

First of all, I have traveled around the world and stayed in numerous Airbnb and this ranks as one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Clean, beautiful, decadent…and the kitchen has absolutely everything you need in order to cook! Beds were extremely comfortable, high-end mattresses and the pool was kept clean and the air conditioning was ice cold! Only a three minute walk to a mind blowing beach. Thank you Adam, wonderful stay and lifelong memories were made here!

We had a great time staying at Katerina's place. The walk up the hill wasn’t an issue for us, despite some previous reviews mentioning it—it’s well worth it for the views and privacy. The plunge pool was perfect for cooling off after a hot day at the beach, and the home felt very secure throughout our stay. The property looks exactly like the photos—truly one of the nicest places I’ve stayed at in Costa Rica. The cleaners did a great job, and the showers were fantastic! I’d recommend keeping the shades closed during the day to help keep the interior cool. A few extra towels would’ve been a nice touch, but overall, we had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

La casa es realmente cómoda y agradable para estar. El área social está muy bien construida al igual que la ubicación de los cuartos. Está muy bien equipada y todo funciona muy bien. La facilidad para ingresar nos encantó, la atención excelente! Volveremos

We had an amazing time at casa duna, the area was secluded and safe and the house itself was beautiful and spacious, perfect for a family vacation. The hosts were very proactive, responding to all of our inquiries and helping us book excursions and offering recommendations. 10/10 would stay again 🥳

Amazing home with breathtaking views. It is very secluded and private. The host was very responsive and accommodating. The highlight was a visit from a troop of howler monkeys in the trees in the front yard. Highly recommended.

This is a great location with beautiful views of the coastline, and amazing sunrises and sunsets. Day two a family of Howler monkeys climbed by as we watched from the back yard, so cool to video. We enjoyed professional massages on the back porch provided by locals, definitely provided a zen moment in the lush tropical surroundings and it was very adorable. We had them come twice! The pool offered a refreshing break from the humidity. The hosts were very helpful in our planning process, and communicated quickly. The security guard definitely made us feel safe, and the groundskeeper kept the lush yards pristine. The location is within walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and outdoor activities, however we rented a car for convenience and flexibility. Snorkeling was fantastic! We highly recommend Playa Palmas for comfort, convenience and excellent scenery. Pura Vida!

We had a wonderful stay with 8 guests. The house is exactly as it appears in the photos, organized with 3 primary bedrooms around the central pool area. There is a fourth bedroom with 4 bunk beds. All of the bedrooms have their own bath/shower areas. The large living area has a big glass door that slides open to create an indoor/outdoor experience. We loved having breakfast prepared each day. We thought it might not be needed every day. However, after the first day, we decided it was too good to pass up, allowing us to relax every morning around the pool, drinking delicious coffee until the food was prepared. We would also highly recommend having a golf cart. It was delivered prior to our arrival and made trips in and out of town super easy. The location of the house is great. You can access either Playa Longosta or Playa Tamarindo through gates that are short walk from the house. The folks at the front gate to the neighborhood can give you the code. Overall, this is a great house!

This Airbnb is beyond gorgeous! The pictures don’t do it justice, I didn’t wanna say goodbye! The area is private and secluded but my group found it best to rent a car to get around. Jennifer was a lonely host and so proactive and able to help with all your needs and requests. Can’t wait to visit again.

When possible I do my best to rent properties that are only few steps away from the beach, this time I did an exception though and I don't regret it, Helen's place is in the top 3 of best airbnbs we have rented in Guanacaste, it's a nice and safe property with a covenience location and a very straight forward check-in. Playa Grande is not close enough to reach it out on foot but by car it's only about five minutes away, ah! and it is worth mentioning you can see the sea from the distance from the property's balcony!

We felt super relaxed as soon as we arrived at Casa Buenas Vibras. The place is amazing- very spacious and extremely clean and we felt right at home. Ian was very responsive with our queries and I would definitely recommend staying here. It’s just a short drive to some wonderful beaches, bars and restaurants so there’s lots to do. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here!

10/10, this incredible home is paradise! I couldn't be happier with out stay. It is so private and beautiful. Stephane communicated so well and made the entire experience perfect.

Very beautiful home inside and out!!!! The rooms were spacious, even the bathrooms were big. House was equipped with the everything we needed. Amazing pool as well. Located in private and quiet area. Short drive to the downtown area. Easy check in and check out process. Esteban had great communication. Would definitely recommend and return!!

Wij hebben hier een week verbleven met onze peuter en het was heerlijk! Het huis is heel schoon en heel goed uitgerust, aan alles is gedacht! Goed uitgeruste keuken; wasmachine en faciliteiten om schoon te maken, uitgebreid beddengoed, handdoeken en doeken voor het strand. Echt heel comfortabel en prettig, zeker met een gezin! Ik raad deze accommodatie zeker aan voor families met kleine kinderen. Het huis is ruim en smaakvol ingericht. Ook het contact met de host verliep goed en makkelijk, ze reageren heel snel en zijn vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Iets om rekening mee te houden is dat de grotere supermarkten wat verder weg zijn (30 minuten rijden ongeveer) dus bijvoorbeeld op de dag van aankomst is het verstandig vooraf boodschappen te doen. Het huis ligt een beetje afgelegen, maar er zijn genoeg mooie stranden en leuke restaurantjes vlakbij!

Excelente hospedaje, Doris y su familia son personas muy amables y siempre se mostraron dispuestos a ayudarnos. Nos dieron recomendaciones de la zona y nos ayudaron con lo que solicitábamos. Lugar privado muy cercano a la playa, 100% recomendado!

Our two-night stay was absolutely magical! The house is such a happy space with plenty of natural lighting in every corner. It served as both the ideal launching pad for our adventures and a blissful sanctuary during those hot afternoon hours when a siesta became essential. The backyard was an oasis with beautiful almond trees providing shade while we lounged in the hammock. There's a lot at home to keep everyone busy - board games, toys and puzzles. But most importantly, the location was perfect. We visited 3 wonderful beaches during our stay here, all within a short drive. Several restaurants and cafes nearby too. It took us 1.5 hours to drive to Liberia airport from here, so that was another plus. We'd recommend staying here if you are visiting the area. There is something for everyone!

Amazing house and location!
