Beach house vacation rentals in Costa Rica

We loved staying in this place! It was perfect for the whole family. We spent our days between the beach and the pool and it was perfect. Nothing better than having the beach right in front of the house. Also they had cleaning services every day included in the price which was amazing, we didn’t have to be cleaning the sand of the floors and we had new towels every day. We completely loved our stay totally recommend!

Beautiful off the beaten path home next to the beach. House was beautiful with air conditioning that helped on the hot and humid days. Beach was just across the street which was nice though rip tides were possible so had to swim during certain times of the day to avoid them. Jefferson was always responsive with anything we needed and even offered to do laundry for a small fee which was nice and convenient.

Due to an unfortunate issue with our original place to stay, we had to make a last minute pivot. We were so grateful to have found Richard’s place and his incredible hospitality. This place is toward the north part of the town, so it felt much less crowded and it was particularly quiet at night. All we heard were the waves and an occasional lizard on the roof! 😂 We cooked most of our meals at the property, and the kitchen setup worked great. The instant beach access was amazing, and the ability to come back and relax in the hammocks and at the table/couch area in the shade was also a giant perk. Maria cleaned the place each day, which was also a bonus and an example of their wonderful care. It’s located beside a cafe, which does mean more people nearby at times, but it also means quick access to food/drink. Aside from the first evening when a DJ was playing at the cafe (Sunday funday!), it was a quiet and peaceful place to relax and enjoy a beautiful location. Many thanks!

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

Our family of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids) really enjoyed our stay! The house itself was very nice (white noise might be needed because of the roosters). The easy accessibility to the beach when we wanted to go there while also having an amazing pool and covered patio to relax throughout the day was perfect for what we were looking for. We enjoyed the quiet and local feel of Brasilito Beach. The campground is right there, like others have mentioned, but it was never an issue at all. We walked to Playa Conchal (liked our beach better) and checked out Playa Flamingo for a sunset one night. Vidal lives on property and was always a friendly face. Overall, it was a wonderful stay!

Beautiful home right on the beach with amazing host who was always right there to assist when needed. The home was immaculate and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The living room was a great relaxing spot and my favourite was the patio table overlooking the pool. We loved this home and you can tell the owner takes pride in hosting. We will be back at the first opportunity . Highly recommended. Thank you for an amazing few days!

We had a wonderful stay in Punta Uva. The grounds around the home are lovely with jungle plants and little creatures. We loved mornings on the beach and coffee from the local coffee shop around the corner. So good! Unfortunately the waves were rough the whole time we were there so we didn't get to try any snorkeling. The road can also get busy with people but there was always enough beach space to play in the waves. The open air part of the home (kitchen etc) is very rustic but charming. We enjoyed the outdoor shower. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very nicely done and the ac was appreciated. We had a little trouble communicating with the caretakers on site though they were responsive once we got ahold of them. I recommend that you get a what's app conversation going when you check in so that the communication is easier. There are many restaurants in Cocles just up the road that are delicious and Puerto Viejo is a cute town to shop in and check out the black sand beach.

We loved staying at Franks place. Its a cute get away and right at the beach and close to cocles amenities. We had a great time talking to Frank and his wife and would highly recommend this place.!

We enjoyed Christian’s place very much. It was exactly as described and he was very responsive when we needed a little guidance with the AC and safe. I would stay there again.

My family enjoyed 11 nights at John’s place. The house was more spacious than expected. All amenities needed were available. We felt safe at the house and surrounding area. The pool was wonderful and we enjoyed it daily. There is a grocery store and 5 restaurants very close by. Tamarindo is about a 15 min walk. We did not have a car. You can rent golf carts if needed. Beaches - Playa Langosta is a very short walk 5 min and you can walk to Tamarindo beach in about 15 min. Tamarindo is busier, it was nice to stay in a quieter area. Howler monkeys were seen morning and night right on the roof of the house and trees in the yard. We also saw iguanas and variegated squirrels in the yards along with a number of birds. Cleaning service was included in the stay the lovely lady came a number of times while we were there. John was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to my many questions prior and during our stay. We would stay again at John’s villa.

the place was really good, it has everything we needed. great rooms, amazing kitchen the pool was really good.

I enjoyed my stay. I was able to explore the city easily.

Alex and Leonie were great hosts. Very responsive; answered all our questions and were very helpful. The house was great- plenty of space, very comfortable, very close to beach, shops, and restaurants. Super convenient that there is a washing machine and line to dry clothes. Pool was a highlight for us- great to relax in the evenings after activities during the day.

It was really excellent. The attention to detail, the spaces, the amenities make this place the perfect place for family vacations. The house is truly beautiful.

The place was easy to find thanks to Yali's clear instructions. I had good internet at all times, which allowed my teenagers to be calm. The kitchen is excellent and I was able to prepare my food to my liking. My family enjoyed a healthy and safe environment. Yali was an exceptional host, always attentive and willing to help. We recommend this place to everyone looking for a quiet and cozy getaway.

Our stay was amazing. We loved sitting out in the deck for morning coffee and watching the beautiful birds. It was so relaxing. If you get up early in the morning you can hear the howler monkeys! The house was magnificent. Thank you Andrew and Brenda for sharing your house with us! Pura Vida!!

Great location, the beach is at front and with great access walking. The pool has a good size and the house is very well equipped.

Pros: - Having direct access to the beach was very nice - Being within walking distance of the whole town, with lots of restaurants and a store - The grounds keeper is there everyday, so he can provide you with anything that you need -Best AC we experienced in Costa Rica - Easy drive to Diamante Adventure Park, and well worth the money to do the full day pass Cons: - The days we shared the beach with the front property, felt like we were stepping on each others' toes using the chairs and hammocks - Between the bedroom & kitchen is an open air dining area, which means in order to get a late night snack/drink you have to get fully dressed and be prepared for the bugs - There is a motion sense alarm in the yard that auto sets, so remembering to turn it off before setting the alarm off was tricky sometimes.

Great place to spend a relaxing vacation. Douglas was very responsive and the property was in a beautiful location. If you arent familiar with Costa Rica, be prepared the roads and long travel times. The location is in a beautiful location, but doesnt have alot of locations near the property. We were looking for that so it was perfect. Douglas' instructions and recommendations were very helpful and we really enjoyed the pool on property. We also had private chefs and massages on site which were great.

Excellent experience!!!! Great for people who don’t want/need A/C, like to hear the ocean and spend time on the beach. Amazing experience!!!!!

This house is situated on a fantastic, uncrowded beach. It stretches on for long beach walks, the sand is soft, the waves are perfect for boogie boarding, and the water temperature is warm. Each day of our stay we boogied boarded for hours with maybe 15 other people in sight. In the evening there are beautiful sunsets. The outdoor space of the house is great for cooling off in the small pool or relaxing in the hammock. The house is located in a gated community inhabited by tourists, so in order to experience authentic Costa Rican restaurants or culture one must drive to a neighboring town about 15 minutes away. The house itself is as described but be aware no amenities (shampoo) are provided with the exception of small soap discs. The beach itself made our stay wonderful.

Our group of 8 had an absolutely wonderful experience at Lara's home in Costa Rica. The house was exactly as described - immaculately clean and extremely comfortable for our entire party. Every amenity promised in the listing was available and in perfect working order. Lara was an exceptional host from start to finish. Her communication was prompt, friendly, and thorough - she patiently answered all of our questions and made us feel completely at ease. The true highlight was the beautiful backyard where we spent countless hours relaxing and enjoying nature. The sight of colorful macaws flying freely among the trees created a magical atmosphere that none of us will soon forget. These stunning birds would visit throughout the day, adding an authentic Costa Rican wildlife experience right on the property. The entire stay was deeply relaxing and rejuvenating - exactly what we were hoping for. Without question, we plan to return next year.

Just left this beautiful home after a week with family. The sunsets are breathtaking, the location is very secure. Beautiful pool overlooking the ocean and gorgeous landscape. Loved having coffee on the patio every morning, watching and listening to the birds and sighting many iguanas.

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The location couldn’t be better, just steps from the beautiful beach. We were warmly greeted upon arrival with a tour of the home, which was spotless and perfectly set up for our family. Everything we needed for the beach, towels, chairs, and more was provided. Any questions we had about the area were answered quickly and helpfully. This place is now incredibly special to our family as our daughter got engaged here during our stay! We would stay here again and again — highly recommend!
