Family-friendly vacation rentals in San Marcos

My friends and I (group of 8 ladies) stayed here for one night at the end of our girls trip vacation in Costa Rica. Lily’s house is absolutely gorgeous. We all had plenty of room and enjoyed our last day in CR. It is close enough to walk to a Fresh Market. The grounds keeper, Nery, was available for any of our questions and very helpful and friendly. It was very close to the airport. Loved our time there and we all wished we could have spent another day or two there to enjoy the beautiful house.

We have stayed with Gil many times over the past four years, and it’s always our favorite place! The home is private, has a beautiful view, and is conveniently close to shopping and restaurants. On this visit, we really noticed and appreciated all the recent improvements: A new water system with stable, strong pressure TV with 1000+ channels in the living room Surround sound in both the bedroom and living room New patio furniture A comfortable sofa in the master bedroom A new mirror in the master bathroom A professional-grade juice maker Fresh paint and repairs throughout Gil’s care and attention to the property really show. We always look forward to returning!

I look to come back,we loved the place and all that was offered. The pictures really don't give the beauty of this place VERY VERY VERY OUTSTANDING I WILL BE BACK

Thank you for your attention. The place was perfect for my family, we had an amazing time.

Moonshine Inn was great! It was comfortable and quiet, and the pool was nice! It was convenient to all of the attractions in Manuel Antonio. Nothing was more than a few minutes’ drive away. Martin and Lorena were excellent hosts. They provided lots of great local information, helped book tours, and even arranged to deliver an item my daughter left. We had a great trip. Don’t miss the guided nature walk. It was phenomenal, and we saw so many animals! Enjoy!

A absolute privilege to spend a few days here as a family. A gem of a house that felt immediately like a home. We loved the quirks and the passion for enjoyment. Top of our price range but to us it was worth every penny. Thank you Tucker.

This is my 3rd visit. It was convenient to be able to walk to the plaza across from the accommodation, the house was neat and tidy, and the host's active and quick communication stood out. I would like to express my gratitude to him for being so kind and grateful, and I will visit again in September! See you soon!

Great location near shopping malls and restaurants, very friendly host. Highly recommended.

Beautiful home! It’s in a very safe and private area, has everything you meed. The hosts are very attentive whenit comes to communicating.

Beautiful place, super manicured gardens, very nice attention

This is a nice place to stay. You have restaurants all around you and stores and the mall about 20 -30 minutes up the street if you walk. Uber is always available.

Hosts respond quickly when needed. They are available and welcoming. Close to everything (on foot). I enjoyed the yoga classes with Caroline. Thank you so much for your warm welcome and for helping us have a wonderful vacation! Pura Vida! 🩵💛🧡💚

Great mountain hut at about 2700 m in picturesque surroundings. In the immediate vicinity of the hike on the Turrialba volcano. Costa Rica is completely different, i.e. it needs a fleece jacket in the evening when it cools down to just under 10 degrees. For this, you can sit in the living room with a fire in front of an open fireplace. We felt very comfortable!

We really liked the place, very easy to get to, both Julie and her dad attended us very well and helped us when we had any inconvenience, and we appreciate that they would let us take our dogs who are part of the family for us. We visited the boutique cafe that is right there and we also loved super recommended

Would rent here again without hesitation! The location is great. We loved being close to town and things to do but still having all the jungle vibes! We saw lots of monkeys right in the back yard! Alex and Glen were both very friendly. We also did the mangrove Kayak tour with Alex & Goldie (his pup)! Would highly recommend that tour! Overall we really enjoyed our stay here!

Maricel is a great host! She’s very responsive and accommodated our needs. We enjoyed our visit in her home & appreciate her & her family. The home is conveniently located in walking distance to sodas, restaurants, groceries, a nearby shopping mall, etc. and it’s a short drive to & from the airport. We felt safe due to the security gate, since it’s an active area. We also enjoyed relaxing/breakfast on the front patio/porch. We would have preferred brighter lighting or natural sun light throughout the inside of the home, instead of the more dim/darker lighting but it served our short term purposes and seemed to fit the home’s unique decor.

Gigi and Adrian's place is the perfect base for Escazu. Great hosts and great place to stay.

The apartment is too nice an impressive view, neat with utensils easy to access to maintain cleanliness, super complete the kitchen has all the comforts for the preparation of food and a great variety of utensils and very spacious the living and dining room are fair to share with freedom of space, last and very important don Miguel's attention is very accurate, timely and very cordial, provides clear directions and responds in short waiting times. Without hesitation, I would recommend the price is fair and the place is very nice. One particularity is that in the condo people in general are very respectful and friendly.

Had a wonderful stay in a beautiful area .Katrin was so helpful and there if we needed her at anytime. Great accommodation and i would recommend this place to stay if in the area. Had a wonderful week.

Toucan Tranquility, its pool and patio areas are beautiful. We did not miss a/c. We enjoyed lovely breezes through the patio and at night, it was a great temperature as the location is at a bit higher than Atenas. There is very good privacy - the hosts were at home in the upper level, but their space and entrance to the upper level is entirely separate - they even have a separate gate from the street. It was wonderful to be surrounded by trees, lush greenery and flowers. The beds were comfortable and there were many conveniences such as racks for our suitcases and comfortable furniture. The outdoor kitchen was a new experience for us. It made it possible for us to bake a chicken and a cake. The location was quite peaceful - away from the bustle of Atenas. Cher was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. She shared some recommendations and is the source of a wealth of information. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Nice place, but the security was a bit problematic. They didn't allow in an Uber driver to pick me up. The Uber driver needed to give them my name and apartment number, but I didn't have my phone accessible at that moment, so they were turned away. I understand that security needs to do their job and keep the place safe, but this is something that other guests should know, if they plan to use Uber.

This is a great family rental. We came for a 5 day stay to celebrate my sister's 60th birthday, explore Costa Rica's nature resources and enjoy time as a family. All 6 of us enjoyed our stay and loved the property! The house is quite rustic but well suited for a family who wants to spend a lot of time outdoors. The outdoor kitchen, dining area and BBQ are a wonderful extension of the house. We made most of our meals. The pool was very clean and maintained and included an outdoor shower and foot rinse area. The ocean was wonderful to swim in and the beach very private with few people on it. Andres and Olga made us feel very welcome. He served us with coconuts in the pool on our first afternoon and had area restaurant recommendations for us. We later purchased a large pitcher of coconut water from him that was absolutely delicious. And it was so fun to watch the collection process! In addition, Andres let us know when the spider monkeys came on the property which delighted us!

Great location and views. Everything was as described. Quick access to everything in Manuel Antonio. The driveway is quite steep and it took me a few tries to navigate it with my 10 passenger van rental. After the first day it was fine. Host was very responsive. Awesome bathrooms and decent bedrooms.

We absolutely loved staying here. Everything was magical and sitting outside was relaxing. We saw so many animals while staying there and the kids loved the pool! We had a grocery store and Soda walking distance away. Antonio was a gem. He did not speak English but he made sure everything was pristine. He is a true gem and willing to help direct parking and open the gate for us Some tips to help others….everything here is similar to the states. No suicide showers and lots of power plugs. Really the only issue we had is the upper bedrooms were too light and it gets bright early. Wasn’t a huge problem for us because we got up early to do activities while it was cool. We loved our stay! This place has ALL of the Pura Vida vibes.
