Vacation rentals with a pool in Costa Rica

If I could give Sarah and her place 5+ stars I would. While her place is off the beaten path, she makes it so easy to find, enter and relax. I have nothing but positive things to say. She has thought of everything, 7 steps ahead; from the guest book digitally and in person, local contacts for boat trips, meals and more! Her communication is superb, always checking in, she answers the crazies of questions with patients and grace. I mentioned it was my dad’s 70th birthday trip and when we arrived she had a birthday basket and HBD message with his name hand painted on local wood. WOW just WOW! Her place is top notch, the best I’ve ever stayed. She made this trip ultra special and I’m forever grateful. Customer service is King (Queen) and she is the Queen. If things ran like she runs her BnB all would been good in the world. Companies should take note. PS I’ve already booked my second trip with her. PPS Usually I try to avoid ABnBs but I will always make an exception for her and her place.

Me and husband stayed at Axels beautiful place for our honeymoon for 11 days. It was even more beautiful than the photos if you can believe it. Waking up to the view of the infinite pool and jungle, the sounds of the animals, just breathtaking. Anytime we needed anything (which wasn’t often) axel responded immediately. Luis was also incredible! We decided not to rent a vehicle and cab everywhere and he hooked us up with the most punctual, friendly driver who came to get us atleast once a day. I recommend trying Luis sisters fresh fish (10/10) We were lucky enough to see monkeys, parrots, lizards, and coaties all from the pool. We did a few tours like horse back riding, went out for dinner most nights, but ultimately during the day we were at the house enjoying the sun! We will definitely be back in the future to enjoy anniversaries. Thank you Axel for have an exceptional place that truly felt like an oasis!

We stayed at Sal Vida Casita 1 for our honeymoon. Krista and Guido were excellent hosts very responsive and gave great local recommendations. The locals on the mountain are so kind and willing to share their livliehood. A great place to immerse in the culture and the beach and tourist areas are not far. The casita is surrounded by beautiful, peaceful private view, very clean and was a percect place for our 7day stay. Only one thing to note **The drive up the mountain is INTENSE especially the first time up. Allow atleast 25-30 minutes travel time up and down the mountain and an added 30-50 drive to get into nearest towns. You WILL need a 4x4 vehicle to get up, if a truck or jeep is avaliable do that. We had a midsize suv 4x4 and we were able to get up and down but a truck/jeep would have made a difference. The drive is well worth it once up and down but just be aware it is a long way up dirt roads.** The pool is a community pool but we were the only ones there and it was very clean.

Wow loss of words for this stay . Super Memorable and just overall Amazing. Amazing place. Amazing location, amazing host. Checked all the boxes. The house is stacked with everything you need, even with the new things you didn’t know you need . . Felt super safe . It was definitely an experience to arrive . But if I can say this without over exaggerating… it’s super worth it . Don’t be overwhelmed. The hard work the host has put into this place should NOT go unnoticed.

Magical treehouse in the jungle of Quepos, not a far drive Manuel Antonio Park. Woke up to monkeys on the porch. 10/10 experience and would be thrilled to stay again even better in person!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home tucked into the jungle. The setting is very serene, with the sound of the river always in the background and the plethora of wildlife all around. The bed was very comfy, so a good nights rest was practically guaranteed. There are a few things I would note for anyone considering the home, especially if this is your first visit to the area. It is a 10+ minute rocky drive to the home off the main road, not a big deal with a sturdy car. Especially during rainy season, there’s a good chance you’ll lose power at some point, but seems to be restored quickly. Most places, including this home, discouraged you from flushing toilet paper, an adjustment from home. Being that this place is so small, there’s not a ton of privacy between the bathroom and bedroom, and the living area is not meant for lounging. That’s what the outdoor spaces are for! This was an experience unlike any other we’ve had in our previous visits to CR, I highly recommend it!

We were all so excited when we arrived. The house and the view were exactly what the photos showed. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, looking at the amazing view around us. The restaurants near us were all great. Karen the owner and Olmer the concierge were great at responding to our questions. We would definitely love to go back!!

Jose's house was in a nice private location with only one other house adjacent. It is a great place if you want some quiet time away from everything. Jose was extremely helpful and proactive in helping with some issues that came up during the heavy rains. The house is a really nice layout with a small casita adjacent to the poolif you want separation from others. I would recommend but be prepared to deal with bugs and keeping doors closed in the evening since it is out in the countryside. If that is of no matter to you then its a really nice and relaxing place.

This condo was exceptionally clean with a beautiful view. It was a very brief walk to the Main Street. Everything was literally five minute walk. They are picky with who they host (with good reason) because of how pristine it is. Thank you :)

The place was exactly what we needed for our vacation. It was convenient and in a quiet safe place away from the hustle and bustle from the down town of Coco. We had a car and a parking spot and we were a few blocks away from the closest restaurant. We were the only ones there for the week. The other units were not occupied and we had the pool to our selves. The pool was nice to cool off at the end of the day. The unit had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked great.

The accommodation was beautiful, in peaceful surroundings. A short walk to the beach, restaurants and cafés. We enjoyed our stay so much!

Beautiful apartment, well equipped. Great location with access to the beach, a great view and friendly and helpful host. Will be back!

We enjoyed our stay here! The place is well appointed and large and comfortable (the bed was super comfortable and that’s always important to me). Location was close to beach and lots of shops and restaurants (please note it’s down a dirt road so plan your shoes accordingly). We enjoyed many of the recommendations given including Falafel Bar, Breaking Bread, Little Lucha (for $3 taco Tuesday) and Baula.

Josephine communicated clearly and timely. The condo met my family's need. We needed a place to relax after some days of intense hikes in other regions. The pool was lovely and right outside our door. We watched surfers on the beach though the rough waters and rocky beach did not avail sun-soaking or swimming.

We were a family with two young kids and absolutely loved our stay at Esteban’s. It was the perfect place to relax before our flight the next day. The apartment was spotless, the hot tub was a great bonus, and the nearby playground was a huge plus for the kids. Food delivery was easy, and booking amenities through the app was seamless. We’d seen some comments about noise, so we came prepared — but honestly, it was impressively quiet for a city apartment. The space felt well-insulated, and we didn’t have any issues at all. The blackout curtains were also a lifesaver for bedtime. Overall, a fantastic stay — 6 out of 5 stars!

Great host. Very quick to respond. Clean condo with beautiful views of San Jose city. It’s a must. Jorge is a great guy. Beautiful place.

We had the best time staying in Santa Teresa! The town was easily accessible from Mike’s place by ATV. Mike was very responsive, the home was very beautiful and in the jungle! We saw Monkeys outside of the bathroom windows multiple days!

Amazing house and location!

I couldn't have asked for a better stay at Casa Indigo. The house was beautiful and contained everything we needed. Two bedrooms are accessed via porches, this provided nice isolation but something to think about if bringing young ones. There is an extra per day cleaning and maid service not listed on airbnb, but they did a great job and we appreciated the house staying so tidy. We are already planning our next visit!

Marianne and Rob are amazing. The house is clean and very well kept. The furnishing and kitchen items are nice good quality. The view is super awesome. The pool was perfect and super clean. Best part for me was their dog Pixi who visited often and was so sweet and loving. Marianne communicated with us a lot and is very solicitous of her guests. Amazing people!
