Vacation rentals in San José Province

“If you are going to Costa Rica for the wildlife sights and sounds there is no better place to stay then at Thomas and Lili's treehouse! This place was an oasis of relaxation and excitement. We seen many species of monkey, iguanas, toucans and many other incredible birds. Playa de Macha was beautiful and our favorite out of the 6 beaches we visited. We snorkled in tide pools and enjoyed this more secluded beach. If you are an active person the hike is not bad. We spent time at the pool daily. It is lovely, well maintained and served as a much needed cooling station. Thomas was an attentive host and assisted us frequently. The treehouse was a trip of a lifetime experience! Pura Vida xoxo”

“La luz, as my favorite Airbnb experience, reminds me everything I like about Airbnb. I am having trouble putting into words just how beautiful La Luz truly once you see it is in person. As soon as you arrive, it becomes obvious that this Airbnb was the owners labor of love - every design detail intentional, all of his decorations serve a purpose. Aaron really cares about his guests, I can tell from the first message he send to the last, from everything he picked for the home,from a piece of art, to utensils, to cook wares, to the mattress, to the lights, to every piece of the furniture...It speaks to the type of person Aaron is, kind, tasteful, passionate, detail oriented... His place is remote and private, offering tranquility and the feeling that time has slowed down. There are fruit growing in the front yard, toucan flying through the trees. Beautiful butterfly hanging around all the time. Not only I appreciate all the beauty La luz has provided us, also the beauty of interaction with beautiful human. The property manager Chandra, she is such a care, loving, sweet, wise, cool, fun, amazing work being. We will never forget the time we spend with her. She invited us twice to her beautiful balcony, we sit there in front of the epic view of the valley, talking about her travel stories, our exploration, all the stories and thoughts regards to love... The second time she invited us to dance with her, we played our music and she is able to dance with any kinds of music. She was very patient and nice to teach me some balinese dance...The time we spent with Chandra was just simply inspiring, peaceful, beautiful and meaningful. Our experience in CR would not have been as immersive or special without Chandra’s guidance and hospitality. All in all, both the host and house exceeded our expectations in every way. We are so grateful we landed where we did with La luz. It inspired what do I want my future home to be. We will definitely miss Chandra and La Luz, so we will definitely be going back.”

“Thank you Jessica and Justin! This place blew me away. We took a last minute trip for the long weekend after 40+ days in self-quarantine during the pandemic. The only problem was we didn’t have anyone to look after our cat, but the hosts generously accepted him as a guest along with us. I desperately needed to see the sea and sit outside endlessly, and this place was exactly what we were looking for. The views from the balcony were breathtaking. I loved sitting out there all day, reading and meditating and letting the nature recharge me. I wish I would have been able to stay out there all night, but after sun down the bugs made it unpleasant. As other reviewers commented, the bugs did invite themselves inside at night, despite our best effort to shut the doors before dark and leave off the lights. I found the house super warm in the evening, but that was my fault because I prioritized fresh air over air conditioning at this stay, later to realize without the doors open there is no fresh breeze. There was hot water for the shower (others said there wasn’t) and big, cozy towels to dry off with. I found the plumbing a little wonky, as the water pressure was weak and the bathroom did smell a bit. Overall, those were minor things considering the views, access to town, and access to the beach. Jessica was so communicative and helpful, I was truly impressed with the hospitality. We enjoyed the Britt coffee and chocolates that were left for us so much. Bottom line, if you are looking for an authentic experience with gorgeous views and a relaxing outdoor set up, I highly recommend this place! If you are bothered by bugs or the heat expected from being at the beach, then keep it moving. We, however, will be back!”
