House vacation rentals in Central America

We've been fortunate to stay in some nice properties, but this easily stood out as the most amazing place we've been. The house is incredible, the concierge (Fabian) was very helpful, the (daily) cleaning staff was top notch and the views were remarkable. The place looks even better in person than the (impressive) pictures on the site. Being high up meant not only a great view of the landscape but also wildlife. We regularly saw macaws, toucans and squirrel monkeys, who jumped through the trees (one tree only 15 feet or so from the pool/deck) two evenings while we were there. It was an incredible experience all the way around.

This is such a beautiful, comfortable, and clean home with wonderful views. We spent 6 nights exploring Atenas, and this home is convenient to town and several other attractions. The hostess has a book for guests with great suggestions for what to do and see while in Atenas.

Barbara and John were literally the kindest people in Costa Rica you could stay with. Our toddler, the biggest food critic of them all loved every food recommendation we received. He danced to the music in restaurants and was welcomed with love by locals. The home is so private, relaxing, beautifully decorated, everyone in our family felt at home here. We cooked in the kitchen and found it fully equipped and easy to cook for a group. We loved watching monkeys swaying on neighboring trees and birds singing each morning near the large deck. We slept so peacefully in their comfortable large beds every night and the space was quite large so our kiddo got to get his wiggles out. Their pool was the perfect temperature everyday and large enough you could do laps. John provided such a throughout and very legit surf lesson. Overall we LOVED this home and it was well worth the journey into this cool little surf town. - Christina

Chris is the Man! For context, my girlfriend and I had another bnb in the area that lost power and water for 2 days! I had to book an emergency stay and Chris accommodated and responded swiftly even though it was very short notice. We fell more in love with his property than our original one lol. 10/10 stay loved the vibezz.

Las camas 10 de 10 dormi super Rico el colchon y el ruido de las olas me relajaron primera vez en El Salvador q encuentro una cama ricaaa si busca un lugar para descansar este es el lugar perfecto

Cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. From arrival to departure we felt at home. Questions were answered immediately and our host was extremely proactive in finding or sourcing items we needed. Highly recommend their recommendation for an ATV rental, we were thrilled at having this at the place with us and made getting into town a breeze! We felt incredibly safe and everything we needed was a short distance. The house is exceptionally private and well furnished. The pool is pristine and again, the hosts are just top notch. I’ve stayed at many airbnbs and never have had such a seamless level of communication. Thank you so much for making this such a memorable trip for my family. I cannot wait to return!

The most amazing place we have stayed in Costa Rica. We extended our stay and would have stayed longer if it was available. It’s even better than the pictures. The office was perfect for my partner and I was able to teach my yoga clients on the patio with the tropical garden backdrop! Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Anything we looked for was there, even a plug at exactly the place you would look for it! We loved the privacy the backyard gardens! Our towels were refreshed before we even had to ask! There was a little noise from the neighbouring school and a little construction, but it didn’t bother us at all. Overall Tomasso’s place exceeded our expectations and we will be happy to come back here, or visit his other properties! Pura vita!

What an amazing home!!! The pool was absolutely beautiful. The home felt private and safe. The kitchen was well equipped and the home was just as described. We absolutely loved our stay here and would 100% return!

The house had amazing views. It was close to the city, but had a rural feel. Diego sent a cleaner 3 timez during our 12 day stay. He was responsive to all our requests.

Domus’ place was absolutely stunning. The pool was clean, and so great to have with El Paradon’s warmer weather. The home was very clean, well decorated and beautiful. The house is also situated in a perfect location :) We also felt so well supported during our stay. Any questions we had were quickly answered and responded too. If you’re going to El Paradon, staying here is a must! Truly one of our favourite accommodations in Guatemala!

This house is incredible. It is in the perfect location on the lake, with the best views. There is a dock right out the front and it’s super easy to catch the boats around to the towns. I would definitely stay here again. It’s a beautiful place and the hosts are so responsive and helpful. This house is so luxurious and a perfect place for a relaxing holiday.

Mi familia y yo disfrutamos de unos días maravillosos en Villa Delfín, en Playa Maderas. La villa superó nuestras expectativas: las vistas son espectaculares, la piscina tiene un tamaño y una profundidad ideal, y todas las amenidades de la casa estaban en excelentes condiciones. Sin embargo, lo que realmente hizo la diferencia fue la atención de Dan y su equipo. Fueron increíblemente amables, profesionales, atentos y comprensivos durante toda nuestra estancia. ¡Recomiendo Villa Delfín sin dudarlo!

Brandon’s place is absolutely amazing. The house is beautiful and the view is stunning. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay near La Fortuna!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Fantastic, home,host,town,views,wildlife sightings, hands down one of the best locations we’ve ever stayed. Secluded but still plenty to do. Book this- you will not be disappointed. Enjoyed the adventure, and we highly recommend. Pictures are great but everything is even better in person. The house has everything you need! Plus more! -Pura Vida

This Airbnb was the PERFECT place for me to unwind after hosting a yoga & surf retreat for a week. It was private and secluded, and felt like it was my own little home for the 3 days I was there <3 The place was SPOTLESS and felt brand spanking new -- so luxurious! I loved the loft-style of the space and the "open" feeling it created with the floor-to-ceiling windows. I played music from my speaker in the house, did yoga by the pool, read my book, and genuinely forgot that there were other condos right next door -- it feels like you're totally alone and it's AMAZING! I also got plenty of visits from a cat that I named Natasha, who will probably come visit you by the pool if you happen to come stay here. She's the friendliest stray cat I've ever met lol. During the day, I would walk to-and-from the town to the Airbnb (for meals and surf sessions) and felt safe doing so. At night-time, I would just get a quick taxi from town for a few bucks, just in case.

My first time to this part of Costa Rica. Second time to the country. I was looking for an adventure and also relaxation. I found both here. Jen has a magical place here in Malpais. The directions, the suggestions of places to go. I loved every minute of my stay. The story is in the details and there are many to be discovered.

This was our second stay at Casa de Ola, and we’re already planning our return next year. We came with a regular rental car and had no issues reaching the house though if you want to explore deeper into the wild terrain, a 4x4 would help. It’s beautifully remote. Even though there's high-speed satellite internet, we forgot about phones and fully soaked in the vibe. A couple of short power outages (it was the start of wet season) only deepened the experience, allowing for candlelit evenings , intimate and grounding. The house is designed for disconnection in the best way. Where else can you wake up to toucan families or howler monkeys, sip volcanic spring water straight from the tap, and forage fresh mangoes, avocados, bananas, and oranges right from the land? Every morning we watched dolphins pods gliding by while lounging in the infinity net. Five minutes walk to a perfect intermediate wave for surfing and hidden jungle waterfalls. This place is rare. Can’t wait to come back.

Sarah’s place is amazing, we will definitely be back. This house has oceanfront views, a beautiful yard and a great pool to make our stay very relaxing and peaceful! We saw macaws, a variety of birds, iguanas, lizards, coati’s and a mama sloth that the kids would run and try to spot every morning. The property manager was so friendly and helpful and would crack coconuts for us and spot the sloth when we couldn’t find her. Sarah would check in and see if we needed anything. She has a book at the house with wonderful recommendations of things to do in the area and places to visit that were reasonably close! We ate at Coquito’s frequently. They are the nicest restaurant owners with amazing food! We loved swimming in the pool and ocean every day. We enjoyed our daily beach strolls and didn’t feel like leaving much because of how peaceful and quiet Zancudo is, especially at Sarah’s place! I can’t say enough good things about this place, especially if you are looking for a relaxing getaway!

What an incredible place. It’s a few minutes outside Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo and worth the drive. The place has insane views and is so unique. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. 11/10.

Malena's place is absolutely stunning and the perfect home base to explore Santa Teresa from. Waking up to the sunrise every morning looking out over the jungle and the mountains was magical, every detail of the place and property is beautiful, and Malena was an awesome host!

Perfection. Absolute perfection. The other reviews are spot on. Just book it already. The views can’t be beat and no picture can do it justice. Everywhere you look it is beautiful and magical: the jungle sounds, the sunsets, the amazing flora and fauna, the details and thoughtful touches. It is so perfect it is almost overwhelming. Every day, I couldn’t believe I was there. And the hosts! They are amazing! They are genuinely kind and generous, not that fake used car salesman nice. They are the real deal. Anything they recommend, just do it. Use their concierge service and do everything! You can’t go wrong. We would have stayed longer and plan to go back soon.

Unser Aufenthalt in der Villa in Puerto Viejo war einfach unvergesslich! Die Unterkunft liegt eingebettet im tropischen Grünen und bietet absolute Ruhe und Privatsphäre – ideal, um dem Alltag zu entfliehen und in die entspannte Atmosphäre der Karibikküste einzutauchen. Die Villa selbst war geräumig, sehr sauber und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Besonders beeindruckt waren wir vom Außenbereich mit Pool und Hängematten – ein perfekter Ort, um zu entspannen und die Natur zu genießen. Jeden Morgen wurden wir vom Zwitschern der Vögel und gelegentlichen Brüllaffen geweckt – ein echtes Naturerlebnis! Die Lage ist ebenfalls top: nur wenige Minuten mit dem Fahrrad oder Auto ins Zentrum von Puerto Viejo und zu wunderschönen Stränden wie Playa Cocles oder Punta Uva. Trotz der Nähe zu allem fühlt man sich hier wie in einer ruhigen Oase. Der Gastgeber war super freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer erreichbar, falls wir Fragen hatten oder Tipps brauchten. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen

Casa Azul was an absolute gem. The villa is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly positioned with a breathtaking view overlooking the water and scenery. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the property was unforgettable. The home is well-maintained and designed for total relaxation—everything about it felt serene and welcoming. If you’re looking for a scenic, tranquil getaway, Casa Azul is the perfect choice.

We had a fantastic stay at NAO! The place was very nice, clean, and incredibly comfortable — it truly felt like a home away from home. It had everything we needed for a relaxing and hassle-free stay, from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy spaces for lounging. One of the best surprises was the pool — it was even bigger and nicer than it looked in the photos! The location is also perfect — very well situated, just a short distance from downtown Puerto Viejo. It was super convenient to explore the area, enjoy local restaurants, shops, and the beach, all without needing to go far. The hosts were wonderful — very kind, thoughtful, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay.
