Family-friendly vacation rentals in Central America

Great house lots of space, loved the pool and jacuzzi. Thanks!

The house, the lake, the views, the staff…all absolutely incredible! The house is ideally located within 5-10 mins walking or quick tuk tuk to San Marcos, and equipped with everything you need - pool, hottub, kayaks, loads of cooking supplies, more than enough towels etc. The rooms were huge, beds comfy and the caretakers available to help with anything and everything. The hosts were super responsive and the chef for hire cooked amazing meals. San Marcos has the cleanest water for swimming, and the national park with cliffs to jump or swim from is just a short walk or kayak away. The entire stay, just like the lake, was magical for our family of 5 (2 adults, 9 yo, two 7 yos) and not one we will ever forget!

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.

Súper lindo el apartamento y la piscina es muy cerca del apartamento! Hay gimnasio también q la par de la piscina!

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.

Muy bonito alojamiento, la casa cuenta con todas las comodidades, el plus del lugar es la hora del chek in, ya que permite llegar temprano y difrutar del lugar eso me pareció super bueno adicinalmente que dejen llevar a los perritos otra estrella, me sentí como en casa, super recomendada, gracias a Adriana por todo.

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.

We stayed here for a family of four trip for one week. The location was great, it was easy to walk to the historic center and to restaurants, sites, grocery, etc. The home is in a gated residential community, so very quiet and safe. The home had everything we needed, very comfortable and everything was in good working condition. Our kids enjoyed the pool when we were not sightseeing. The cleaning service was great and they came when convenient for us. The host was very responsive when asked for recommendations on hikes in the area. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in Antigua and this was a great place to unwind at when we were done for the day.

Fantastic house just a 20 second walk from the main street yet peaceful and quiet. Great air conditioning, well equipped kitchen and comfortable comfortable furniture. Communication cannot have been better. Highly recommended!

We had an incredible stay at Casa Francis. The Host were the best offering fresh towels and anything we needed always with a friendly smile. The casa was clean upon arrival while also offering weekly cleaning. The pool was enjoyed daily! A great little spot to stay and would definitely recommend this place to friends and family! Thanks again for your kindness and for making our arrival to Panama memorable!

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

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.

Absolutely incredible place to stay for a honeymoon :) we were there for just over a week, and we really loved our little home base. Jan was so helpful with recommendations and even booked our reservation for Manuel Antonio with her Costa Rican debit card since we couldn't do it ourselves. With as helpful as she was, she also gave us total privacy and communicated very effectively with us. I know the person before us mentioned insect issues, but we had no complaints whatsoever and were there for an extended period of time. We were able to see hummingbirds, scarlet macaws, lizards, and other varieties of birds which made just sitting by the pool a fun experience. The shading was perfect for the pool too. You could decide if you wanted to sit in the shade or the sun depending how you feel. The AC cools down the bedroom very fast when arriving home. The private driveway is convenient too. We loved our stay so much! We would certainly consider coming back if in town!

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

bella propiedad muy amables los anfitriones 100% recomendados.

Nice property and a good location. Stayed for 5 weeks. Had a couple of minor plumbing issues that were looked after promptly. A better equipped kitchen than most places I have stayed at.

Great host, Great location. very responsive. wonderful pool.

I stayed here with three friends for a girls’ trip, and we loved the outdoor living experience. The pool was amazing and felt very private. Overall, this was a great place to stay—we all agreed that the house made our trip even better. It was one of our favorite parts! Highly recommend!

My friends and I spent the last five nights at Matthew’s property and thoroughly enjoyed the home and environment from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The house and backyard pool layout are very unique and well laid out for a good time shared with friends. I highly suggest considering Matthew’s property for anyone looking to enjoy their own slice of paradise in Playa Hermosa!

Alles war perfekt! Die Lage und das Haus haben alle unsere Erwartungen erfüllt. Danny & das Team waren immer freundlich und zugänglich. Als wir festgestellt haben, dass Wespen ein Nest am Haus bauten, war das Team innerhalb von einer Stunde da und das Problem wurde sofort gelöst. Der Pool war sauber und in bester Kondition. Wir haben besten Urlaub gehabt und kommen gern wieder!

Casa Martha es tan grande y bonita como la descripción, tiene espacios amplios, una cocina equipada y un jardín hermoso, ideal para familias. Esta ubicada de camino a La Libertad, así que puedes moverte en carro hacia la playa y en 25 minutos estarás allí.

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

One of the nicest and best equipped homes I’ve stayed in. It was cosy and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable as were the pillows. Lots of linens available too. Terry and JP were very helpful hosts and helped us with a great tour with cayoadventures and then the following day with advice about a local beauty spot. Just wish we had longer as the area had many interesting sites.
