Tierra Vital Atenas - Villa 1
The most amazing view we got to see in Costa Rica, over lush mountains all the way to the Pacific Ocean!!! The accommodation was exactly as pictured, very new and super clean. The pool areas is very pleasant and the hosts were extremely friendly!

Ocean View Casa Nina, Santa Teresa - 2 Bedrooms!
Amos and his team were extremely helpful with anything we needed. We felt well taken care of. The view is insanely beautiful. You can look out over the ocean in the pool and watch the sunset every afternoon. The place was clean and felt like a high end hotel. I recommend getting an ATV to get around town and back to the AirBnB. Our stay was perfect. Can’t wait to come back. 10/10 would suggest staying here.

Casa con piscina privada Santa Teresa de Cobano
The most beautiful airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! Hands down.

Villa Izu Garden 3
Such a beautiful place! Absolutely loved it. The host was also incredibly kind and responsive to several questions. Thank you! We loved being able to hop in the jacuzzi at the beginning and end of the day and being able to watch beautiful birds with our binoculars right from the comfort of the jacuzzi! Also, the outdoor shower/bathroom was such a cool concept - loved it. Should also note that while open air, it is also fully protected from rain. Thank you so much for a lovely time. Would definitely return!

Amazing beach house on peaceful Bahía Bellena
Hands down the most beautiful place we've visited. Our kids (6 &3) basically lived in the pool/bay for the 10 days we were there. We were the only unit rented out of the 8 houses, so we had the whole pool area to ourselves (and the beach most days too!). Our favorite part had to be the wildlife: howler monkeys in the trees right outside the house, countless scarlet macaws flying overhead, manta rays surfing the waves in the bay, and iguanas galore. Jeannette and Bas were wonderful communicators and so helpful with local recommendations. The setting is so beautiful that we didn't eat out once, just made food in the incredibly well stocked kitchen and ate outside with the view. Some helpful tips: 1) bring sleep masks. The curtains don't block much light and the sun rises at 5:30am making early mornings for kids! 2) It took us 7 hours each way from San Jose (traffic, ferry wait, ferry ride, etc.) so it's a commitment to visit. But oh, so worth it! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Ocean View Villa Serena Above Hermosa Beach
This is truly the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at, and I’ve stayed at plenty. Adriana was super responsive from a month prior. Any questions I had, she was quick to respond and she was super informative. She helped me get set up with my ferry and hiring a private chef for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday dinner at the Airbnb. It was a nice surprise to have security at night time - who by the way was so kind. We felt super safe. We had on site staff in the morning that help maintained our pool and our house. They were amazing. Thank you to the staff there. There is construction next door but it never bothered us. When we were swimming in the pool, they had speakers we could use that helped with the noise. The view was super breathing taking too, that the noise felt like it was never there. The house itself, 3 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms. All spacious, all clean, huge, beds were super comfortable. I really loved my stay here. It was the best place my bf and I have been to. We will be back

Pi.casa – Art Villa. Privacy. Ocean Sunset View
I celebrated my birthday with my family in Picasa and was amazed not just the beautiful property but also Pierre- our host! I knew I picked the right place to celebrate. We had everything we needed & was accessible to everything. The place was an oasis & able to celebrate & spend quality time with my family. Thank you Pierre, we will be back. You were so warm & every one of us loved our stay!

Excepcional villa deluxe jacuzzi cocina
Perfect spot for staying in the La Fortuna/Arenal area of Costa Rica. Nice cozy villa that had all the necessities. Great view of the volcano, and close to all area attractions. Our host, Gabriela, provided a lot of great information and was always very responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay.

New Ostional Villa, Beach 300 meters, Nosara 7km
Evan’s villa is truly a gem. With a highly a) secluded, private outdoor space, b) tall, spacious bedrooms, c) a fully furnished kitchen and d) an incredible infinity pool, I absolutely plan on coming back. Evan was incredibly kind and proactive, at one point bringing over a coconut as a welcome gift. It’s truly a jaw dropping property and I can’t recommend this place enough.

VILLA GUANACASTE BOUTIQUE LUXURY VILLA W/POOL /AC
Amazing stay in Santa Teresa made even better with Sami’s concierge! Emilio (concierge) was INCREDIBLE and the daily cleaning crew. Responded daily to all of my questions and inquiries about the home. Provided great recommendations and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. The house was great, just what we needed. The pool, outdoor areas, kitchen, and bedrooms were all my favorites. Highly recommended!

Villa St Barth - Tamarindo, Costa Rica
It was our second stay at Villa St. Barth, and we hope it will not be the last one. We enjoy this privacy oasis very close to the touristy areas of the Tamarindo Coast. The property is secluded; you neither see nor feel any neighbours, yet it is just a few hundred meters away from a very nice fish restaurant. The house is squeaky clean and very comfortable to live in. The property's focal point is a pool suitable for lap swimming. We spend hours in the pool daily, looking for a busy bird life and occasional squirrels or monkeys.

Breathtaking Jungle Views and Abundant Wildlife
We had an absolutely wonderful vacation, and this house was great! Geralyn was such a valuable asset—her recommendations were top notch. We booked the private chef for our last night, and it was delicious and absolutely worth it! A couple of things to note about the house that I wish we had realized beforehand: • The master suite and main living area (which is beautifully done and very private) are separate from the other two bedrooms. As a family of six wanting to stay close together, it was a bit surprising. To access the other two bedrooms and shared bathroom, you need to exit the main level, go down an outdoor flight of stairs, and use a separate entrance with a keypad lock. It’s secure, but it did make us a little uncomfortable at first having our two daughters staying in a separate part of the house. That said, it ended up working out fine. • Also, just a heads up—the hot tub doesn’t have heat. Overall, we truly enjoyed our time here and made wonderful memories!

Villa Kaleo-Ocean View Luxury Villa PRIME LOCATION
Yonatan’s home and hospitality is the best experience I have ever had on AirBnb—the house is stunning, Yonatan’s communication was beyond excellent. He set up cabs for us, gave amazing restaurant recommendations, had a private link to set up excursions with Local Bird, a great delivery service to get groceries (SippDelivery) and had beer and wine and treats from the AMAZING local bakery waiting for us upon arrival. The beds are soooo comfortable and laundered to perfection by the housekeeper, Deyling, who comes every day. We brought my parents as a gift and it was a gift to us all that we chose Villa Kaleo. The pool is great, the view is gorgeous. We saw white face monkeys, iguanas, heard howler monkeys—all around the house. Highly recommend horseback riding with Oscar as well. GO!

Magical Tropical Villa Jaco Beach Pool & Jacuzzi
Three of us stayed at Wanderlust to celebrate the upcoming wedding of a friend. Our stay was nothing short of amazing. Highlights of the accommodations were the incredibly comfortable beds, the peaceful atmosphere and the fantastic hot tub. What really makes this place stand out is Jai. Jai could not have done more to make our stay a magical occasion. She provided us with impeccable food and drink recommendations, connected us with local, trustworthy transportation and bent over backwards to make sure everything was perfect. Jai really is a special treat. We all hope to be back someday.

Casa Palmas-Unique 3Bdr Beachfront Villa with pool
We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home in Tamarindo! It was perfect for our two families (7 people total, including 3 kids ages 5–8). The house was spacious, well-stocked, and felt very safe and comfortable for both adults and children. The location couldn’t have been better—just steps from the beach and with a fantastic pool that we used every day. The host was outstanding, providing great local recommendations and even helping us arrange airport shuttles and excursions. Everything was seamless from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back!

Luxury 4BR Beach Villa with Pool, Top 1% of Airbnb
Ramona is the most outstanding host I have ever encountered while using Airbnb. This trip was to celebrate a birthday and our stay was nothing short of perfect. Ramona was so responsive and checked in on us via chat throughout the stay to ensure we had a very smooth stay. Her home is just breathtaking and her assistance with getting my itinerary together which included a private chef, transportation, and excursions in such a short timeframe, I was speechless!! I cannot stop telling my friends about my experience and am already planning a trip back in 2026! Thank you so much for the unforgettable experience Ramona!

Lake view Cattle Ranch Villa
First and foremost, the view was absolutely incredible. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the porch or reading from the small pool with the scenery of this villa. Everything was exactly as described and was very clean. Cristina, the co-host, was responsive to all our messages/questions/concerns and was even able to provide room service. There were also horses out and about in the pastures behind the villa! The only downside to this place was the location. The roads are unpaved and hard to navigate, especially in the rain or dark. The location is pretty remote and far from any big towns, so be prepared to drive, even for groceries. The listing mentioned that you would need a 4x4, so be sure you have one, you’ll definitely need it. Otherwise, I have nothing bad to say! Overall, this place was great and we loved it. The hosts were very friendly and their property was extremely welcoming!

Stunning Ocean Villa - Infinity Pool & King Bed
Beautiful stay, responsive hosts and incredibly helpful, friendly on-site staff. Very quiet, relaxing atmosphere. I often had the pool to myself. This was one of the most beautiful accomodations I’ve had with the best customer service. I accidentally broke a glass and they sent someone within minutes to sweep with a dustpan and deep clean the next morning. I was impressed. I will definetly hope to return with my loved ones!

Q HOUSE - unique luxury villa with ocean view
This place is SUCH a hidden gem. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay here, not to mention Juergen’s wonderful hospitality. The architecture is out of this world and it is obvious careful thought and detail went into bringing this magnificent place to life. The house itself is a work of art, so much so my now fiancée proposed to me here on the first night of our stay! 10/10 we would recommend to anyone, especially if you are looking to be immersed in the jungle with stunning views. We will be back!!

Luxury 2BR Villa by Tamarindo
Exc alojamiento. Muy limpio, bonito lugar. La atención por parte del anfitrión siempre fue excelente. Muy recomendado.

Nayari Frog Farmstay Villa La Fortuna
