Chalet vacation rentals in Guanacaste Province

"Laura's house is simply amazing! The beautiful garden made our stay even more special, especially the two lovely birds that spent the day with us and built their nests in the palms. The interior of the house is stunning and very cozy, everything is thoughtfully decorated with great attention to detail. The location is perfect – not far from the lake, so we were able to enjoy some wonderful hikes. The house matches the description exactly, and we felt right at home. An unforgettable stay – many thanks to Laura for her warm hospitality!"

We felt very fortunate to have found Cristina’s chalet in Monteverde. Her place has great access to the Cloud Forest and downtown Santa Elena. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the sweetest, friendliest kitty. When we entered the chalet, it was cozy and made us feel right at home. We felt like we were right in the tree tops which provided us with a sense of privacy. The song birds and the visiting coati were a great reminder of where we were. We had everything we needed during our stay. Cristina was responsive and very friendly. You can tell she truly loves hosting and wants to make sure each of her guests’ stay is comfortable and memorable. Her breakfast was delicious and was a great way to start the day. It was special touch you don’t often get in an Airbnb. Order the typical breakfast, you won’t be disappointed. We highly recommend staying here and would rebook again without hesitation.

We loved our stay at this very special house. The photos don’t do it justice! If we ever come back to Monteverde, we’ll definitely book this.

An absolutely unreal spot! All the amenities you could hope for and more. The space is simple but has everything you need to cook and hang out. Maria and Cedric were incredible hosts. Very responsive and gave us great recommendations both before and during our stay. We will absolutely be back. We loved the local surf break, skating bowl and enjoyed the annual rodeo.

Perfect place for mu family to stay while in Monteverde. Close enough to everything but peaceful and far enough from the busy part. We all had a great time. The host was very responsive and proactive in giving us choices and problem solving when the food delivery was unavailable. We qill definitely recommend to anyone and come back in the future!

My husband and I stayed at Amalu for three nights in mid-February 2025. We stayed in Glass Cabin Number one, and the view was west-facing and stunning. You had views all the way to the Pacific Ocean and a perfect view of sunset every night. You're so high up that you can feel the winds blowing in the day and through the night, but it only adds to the mountaintop experience as you're warm and snug in your perfectly appointed glass house. The units have a kitchenette and come stocked with perfect food essentials provided by the host. There are spa waffle robes and slippers and a telescope for stargazing and bird watching. The hot tub outside on the deck is amazing for relaxing at night. The staff were extremely friendly and welcomed us upon arrival. If we needed anything at all, it was just a message away.

Excellent service. We were impressed by the shared treasure. They were always attentive to make our stay the best. It is definitely an endless property to discover that we would return to without thinking. Keep in mind the recommendations, they are unique!!!

The place is very cozy, quiet and spacious. The pool area and surroundings are nice and quiet, and very clean and well maintained. It has good equipment in the kitchen and the whole house is well equipped in general, the people who take care of it are very present. The street is made of ballast and has large holes that can hit a very low car, I have a sedan and I was able to enter without a problem. The only point of improvement is that the rooms are very hot.

Lovely house with the most beautiful indoor/outdoor seating area upstairs to enjoy the sunsets from. Pamela was great, helping us with trips, extra bedding, etc. My only minor issue was that lack of hot water (but perhaps we just weren’t patient enough 🤷‍♀️!).
