Family-friendly vacation rentals in Caribbean Sea

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.

Francisco was the absolute best host. He was incredibly accommodating with any questions or requests we had but just went above and beyond with recommendations and coordinating things in Sosua. We had the best time. The space was perfect for our family of 3, it was spacious and comfortable. The pool and private jacuzzi were a huge plus. Highly recommend!

Our family of four with two teenagers loved this place. The instructions and YouTube video were super helpful when we had to find this gem hidden back from the Main Street. The jacuzzi was great and they really used all of the space so well to create a little oasis that was close to the action but felt a world away. Highly recommend.

I can’t thank Molly enough for the local recommendations! The place was beyond beautiful and had everything we needed. The best part was the helpful book in English and Spanish! It was filled with local things and tourist things to do! I highly reccomend booking with Molly if it’s your first time in jarabaccoa! Elfriedo is the caretaker and can make your stay as comfortable as you need! He is a great fire builder and ensures that your stay is seamless! Again if you are thinking of going to jarabaccoa and want an amazing stay, stay with Molly and she can assist with all your travel needs! 10 out of 10!

Geylor was such an attentive host. He gave us the directions and we found the place right away. They had everything that we needed to be honest. Will definitely stay again.

We spent two wonderful weeks at Casa Pauli. The house is grand, tasteful and spotless. The 1km walk to the spectacular beach was a daily treat (really) with beautiful landscaping throughout Residence Esperanza (and other breathtaking properties to gawk at). We loved Chef Luis’ delicious dinners (cheaper than eating out!). This is a tastefully decorated and expansive Villa, with lots of comfortable spots to sit, relax and enjoy the view. We all loved our stay. And, we took a particular shine to Nanci, our very hard-working, diligent and charming caretaker. Nanci made our holiday extra special. We hope to return. Thanks to all.

Lovely villa: relaxing with wonderful views of Arenal. Neighborhood was quiet and nice. Jason’s instructions were specific and spot-on. We did many area adventures and ate in La Fortuna - all wonderful. We also did the Sloth Territory tour after asking Jason for recommendations and enjoyed great sloth viewing and our local guide. Thanks for a terrific stay at Villa Mara.

Excelente todo , la limpieza excepcional , el lugar es bellísimo , mi familia y yo la pasamos increíble

Miguel was a wonderful host. The place was wonderful. The pool had a shallow end that our 4 and 6 yo could stand and they enjoyed it a lot

Ms. Marta is an excellent host. We (me, hubby & 2 cats), just moved here to Puerto Rico from Pennsylvania. We rented this Airbnb because we wanted to look for a place between here and San Juan. Ms. Marta found out that we were looking for a place to buy/rent in the area and offered us an extended stay to continue looking for a place. (Relieved)! The villa we rented was clean, cozy and private. The linen smelled so good. There is a washer/dryer right on the property for your use. The hospitality was amazing. You want for nothing. When we told Ms. Marta we didn't have any internet service, she immediately responded. She spoke to the owner Mr. Juan, and that same day we had internet service. (Loose cable) Chewy is the awesome grounds keeper. If anything is needed, ask him once, and it's done!! He even brought my husband and I fresh coconut water. Gigantic coconut with a hole drilled on top. Yum. Nature, horses, dogs, singing coqui's and a pool! It felt like home. A must stay!!

Very nice and comfortable place to stay with an extra top open floor. The place had some surf boards. Kelly had left us a nice bottle of wine as well. Great place and wish we could stay there longer.

good for short stay and fishing

Thanks

We loved our time here. there was a troop of howler monkeys that we could watch from the back porch. The trail to the river was steep but worth it for the tranquility and bird watching. it's outside of town just enough to feel remote while still being a short drive to all the activities that you would want to do near La Fortuna. Dinorah helped us out with recommendations and even dried out clothes in her dryer when the weather wouldn't cooperate.

The place was great! We loved everything about it. The flair, the location, the convenience, the space, the restaurants near by ….all of it. We just got home and my daughter said, she would like to go back…not necessarily Puerto Rico (of course that too) but she specifically said the Airbnb :)

Lugar espectacular, privado y rodeado de naturaleza, perfecto para relajarse y estar en paz, el clima perfecto, la cabaña con todo lo necesario para la estadía

I had an exceptional stay at this lovely Airbnb just steps away from the beach. The location is ideal—close to excellent restaurants and offering stunning views that made the entire trip feel special. The property is spacious, clean, and well-maintained—perfect for a family gathering or group getaway. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The host was incredibly friendly, responsive, and made sure we felt welcome from start to finish. I highly recommend this place and would gladly return in the future. One area for improvement would be the outdoor space directly in front of the rooms. It could benefit from more regular upkeep, as there were some stains, scattered leaves, and occasional dog waste that took away from the otherwise beautiful surroundings. That said, it didn’t take away too much from the overall experience, and I would still highly recommend this property. I’d gladly return in the future!

We had an absolutely phenomenal stay at this Airbnb in Santiago! The host was incredibly welcoming, responsive. The space was spotless, stylish, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay—modern amenities, cozy bedding, and a fantastic location that made exploring the vibrant city a breeze. The neighborhood was lively yet safe, with local eateries and cultural gems just a short drive away. I loved the thoughtful touches, like fresh coffee and helpful tips about Santiago’s hidden spots. This was hands-down one of my best Airbnb experiences, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Dominican Republic!

This airbnb has everything you need, great pool, rooms, a/c, very cute place. Would stay again

We stayed for 2 weeks and absolutely LOVED the house. Each bedroom does in fact have its own bathroom. There are a total of 5 bathrooms at the house. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to prepare very nice meals. Coffee maker, blender, toaster, microwave, oven all worked great! The best part??? The pool area & surrounding patio! There’s a large palm tree on the southeast side of the patio that offers wonderful shade during the early part of the day. A large umbrella can also be opened for more shade. Plenty of chairs, loungers and tables are around the patio. The changing color LED pool lights at night are gorgeous! We brought a small blue tooth speaker to add to the ambiance of the pool area. We used the patio’s gas grill 4-5 times and it works great! Right across the street is a grocery store and hardware store. Super convenient!! Overall a wonderful, safe, private and amazing place to stay! Definitely will do again!!

The Hummingbird Hideaway made our time in caye caulker so enjoyable! It is a bit out of town which meant many peaceful nights and mornings. We were able to walk to everything we needed within a 20 min walk, but golf cart rentals are an option as well. The kitchen also had tons of supplies if you are planning to eat in at all. Bobbi helped us arrange transport to the Ferry. Recommend for a quiet, relaxing getaway!

we enjoyed our stay. conveniently located near supermarket. pool was amazing on hot days.

Great value for money! The pool is incredible and very much needed and appreciated in the Valladolid heat! It was kept clean. The location was good for us - we had a car and there is space for parking outside. The shower was hot and powerful and a spacious house for us all to stay comfortably for 6 days

Nathaly is a wonderful host! The house was spotless and the grounds were gorgeous. It looks just like the pictures… maybe even prettier. Pool is great. It is walkable to many different restaurants, shops, and of course, the fabulous beach! Nathaly was extremely kind and gave us many great recommendations for things to do on the island. I would return to stay at the Gecko House anytime. Highly recommend!!
