Waterfront vacation rentals in Ballena Bay

The location of Nick’s place was perfect for us. In a quieter area but in walking distance of restaurants. We loved the pool and direct access to the beach!

Nice place. Clean. No issues.

Gorgeous, quiet apartment in a great location! Loved it!

We were pleasantly surprised to find a 25 meter lap pool. The location was perfect, and the condo fit our family perfectly. We loved sitting on the balcony or roof top to watch the surfers during sunrise and sunset.

The apartment was very comfortable and had a beautiful view. The linens and towels were good quality. We appreciated the coffee and basic seasonings, oil that were left there. The AC and fans made it easy too cool down the apartment quickly. The grounds and the pool were well maintained, and, we spotted some wildlife (iguana, hermit crabs, and green parrots. There were a number of restaurants and little shops/markets within walking distance. Loved walking down to the beach to catch sunrise and sunset.

Great spot right on the beach! Walkable to a lot of restaursnts and shops right in the middle of tamarindo. Host was very nice when checking in, and the place was spotless when we arrived.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, which made it so easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. The place was spotless and exactly like the pictures—bright, spacious, and welcoming. Communication with the host was excellent; they were so thoughtful and went above and beyond to help us celebrate our honeymoon, making the experience even more special. We truly appreciated all the little touches they added to make our stay memorable. We would definitely love to come back! Highly recommend!

Great apartment with a view of the ocean and passing birds. Walking distance to pools and ocean. We got to see monkeys by the pool. We loved being able to leave the car in the parking to just enjoy the neighbourhood.

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.

What a magical place! The kayaking from the beach was fantastic. The outdoor kitchen was our favorite feature, we spent most of our time there playing with our daughters and cooking/watching the wildlife. We saw lots of monkeys and beautiful birds on the property. Flor, Mario and Faviolla were just wonderful - Flor even offered to watch our baby while we ate dinner one night. They made the place feel warm and even more special. We absolutely hope to be back one day!!

Very tidy and with everything you need, fixed place to stay in Manuel Antonio

We had an amazing stay here. The house is beautiful, comfortable and the kitchen was amazing and so well equipped. Would definitely stay here again and again!

Our stay at Elisabeth and Michael's home was fantastic! We felt as though we had stepped back in time to the early 1900's. They have done an amazing job restoring the place while retaining the original character. Their home is truly a work of art. While there are a few modern conveniences one might find missing, we had everything we needed, were very comfortable and felt completely at home. Michael's breakfast was wonderful and he was always ready to help in every way possible. Our conversations with our hosts were captivating and one of the hi lights of our time in Costa Rica! It is quite apparent that Elisabeth and Michael love Puntarenas and Costa Rica. That affection is quite contagious and we found ourselves more in love with their country having visited with them in their home for a few days and would definitely stay with them again.

The house and property were as described and expected and we were extremely happy with our stay! We were specifically looking for something outside of the typical tourist spots and Gary’s place did not disappoint. Gary specifically stated that the mosquito population at his house was low and he was absolutely right! Just a few tips and recommendations for other potential visitors. - The kayaks must be taken down the hill to the beach for each use for security reasons. We hesitated to use them until our last day for this reason but we wish we hadn’t. Gary made it very easy and he took them down on his car. It’s an easy paddle to some snorkeling and nice beach areas. You can avoid paying for parking and hauling gear. - there is a public road between the pool area and beach where locals like to park and hang out. Shrubbery gives visual privacy but you may hear music. This did not detract from our stay. Overall we absolutely recommend this house to others.

Spencer‘s properties are absolutely beautiful and perfectly located just as advertised The proximity to the beach, as well as the avenue, renders it and idyllic vacation location

I stayed with my family for several nights and we had an incredible stay, we were very comfortable in every way, the house is just as described, with extremely comfortable spaces and impeccable cleanliness, it is very close to places such as restaurants, pharmacies, banks, supermarkets but at the same time it maintains that privacy that is usually sought when renting, as for Jaime at all times from the first contact he was very attentive, always willing to provide recommendations and listen to some requests we had, I definitely recommend the place and I would definitely stay again.

This place was so beautiful, very clean and the communication was sufficient. The power went out for like a minute and someone came by to make sure that everything was ok. The response time was amazing. The power turned back on shortly after. I would definitely stay here again.

Loved our time at this beautiful spot! The view onto the beach and watching sunsets from the deck was stunning. Very comfortable accommodation, spacious and clean. Some good restaurants within walking distance. Great all around.

Great apartment at a secure location. Pool just outside and access to the beach. Access to the casino next door with restaurant options and an even bigger pool. Can walk the street or beach to the downtown in 20 minutes or get a cab/Uber if the weather is too hot.

Everything was great at the place. Excellent location and overall great place. nice pool too. I would recommend this accommodation.

Wonderful view of the water from the moment you walk in the front door! We didn’t get tired of looking at the water or listening to the waves on the large deck. We traveled with another couple and there was plenty of space for everyone. Although we didn’t cook in, it appeared there were ample plates, silverware, cooking utensils, pans, etc. There was a coffee maker, microwave and a blender, but no toaster. The beds in all rooms were firm. The white sand beach in Flamingo is beautiful and my favorite in Costa Rica. The town of Flamingo has several restaurants/bars and the Flamingo marina is also very close. You can walk to the beach, restaurants/bars and marina, but the condo is up a steep hill. We elected to rent a golf cart and were also able to see Potrero and Brasilito. I loved the location of the condo and we had a great time.

this place is gorgeous and so peaceful. having full access to the resort next door was extremely convenient. security called us a taxi any time we needed and they were never more than 5 minutes away

Sean was a great host. Very responsive and proactive to make check in a smooth process. Loved the view and semi-private beach access. Place was clean and as described. Hope to come back.

This is a beautiful condo. We had plenty of space and our teenagers loved the pool. We enjoyed being a little bit away from the center of town but a quick walk to restaurants and shops. Soda Raquel was very close by and served a delicious traditional breakfast. The condo is very spacious and has everything you need to be comfortable. We really enjoyed spending time on the deck. We appreciated knowing there were guards who ensured only guests were in the pool area.
