Amazing Beachfront Studio with pool & great Wi-Fi!
The location of Nick’s place was perfect for us. In a quieter area but in walking distance of restaurants. We loved the pool and direct access to the beach!

Condo Jaco Bay Resort A2
Nice place. Clean. No issues.

Oceanview Condo in the heart of Jaco
Gorgeous, quiet apartment in a great location! Loved it!

3 bdrm Beachfront, Sunset Views, Rooftop Lounge !
We were pleasantly surprised to find a 25 meter lap pool. The location was perfect, and the condo fit our family perfectly. We loved sitting on the balcony or roof top to watch the surfers during sunrise and sunset.

Beachfront Studio, Private Balcony with Ocean View
Great spot right on the beach! Walkable to a lot of restaursnts and shops right in the middle of tamarindo. Host was very nice when checking in, and the place was spotless when we arrived.

Epic Views 2BR Luxury Condo At Flamingo Marina
The place was very nice and exactly as pictured and described. The beds were super comfortable too, and the washer and dryer were a nice convenience. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and a cooler were also provided. The views were absolutely amazing from the unit and the rest of the property. The pool area was awesome and a very close walk! We also very much enjoyed the beach and restaurants In the area. As other reviews have said, you definitely need a golf cart to navigate in and out of the property (you can use your car but it’s also hard to park in town and at the beach), but the concierge will assist with that upon request. The whole staff was super nice and helpful! Overall we enjoyed our stay very much!

Short Walk to the Beach, Balcony, Fully Equipped
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, which made it so easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. The place was spotless and exactly like the pictures—bright, spacious, and welcoming. Communication with the host was excellent; they were so thoughtful and went above and beyond to help us celebrate our honeymoon, making the experience even more special. We truly appreciated all the little touches they added to make our stay memorable. We would definitely love to come back! Highly recommend!

Esmerald Paradise 17th floor ocean view
Great apartment with a view of the ocean and passing birds. Walking distance to pools and ocean. We got to see monkeys by the pool. We loved being able to leave the car in the parking to just enjoy the neighbourhood.

Oceanfront Condo 3BEDROOM Jaco Beach CR
This location was the perfect spot for our family! It was right on “the strip” of Jaco so was in a walkable distance to the restaurants but felt peaceful in its location on the beach. We loved going back and forth between the beach and the pool. The building has a guard so felt very safe for us traveling with our children.

Beachfront House in Santa Teresa with AC
Pia's place is probably my favorite AirBnb ever. It's a little beachside oasis right in the heart of Santa Teresa. Walk across the beautifully landscaped yard and onto the sand of one of the best beaches in Costa Rica. Iguanas, monkeys, butterflies and birds everywhere. A great hotel next door for good meals and pool time for kids. Pia is an exceptionally cool and kind and helpful host. And the house itself is awesome -- beautifully designed, well maintained, gorgeous. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Don't stay near the beach, stay on it! 2 Bed pool
Very tidy and with everything you need, fixed place to stay in Manuel Antonio

Colonial Palace (2)
Our stay at Elisabeth and Michael's home was fantastic! We felt as though we had stepped back in time to the early 1900's. They have done an amazing job restoring the place while retaining the original character. Their home is truly a work of art. While there are a few modern conveniences one might find missing, we had everything we needed, were very comfortable and felt completely at home. Michael's breakfast was wonderful and he was always ready to help in every way possible. Our conversations with our hosts were captivating and one of the hi lights of our time in Costa Rica! It is quite apparent that Elisabeth and Michael love Puntarenas and Costa Rica. That affection is quite contagious and we found ourselves more in love with their country having visited with them in their home for a few days and would definitely stay with them again.

Beachfront, 6bd, Pool, Maid, Cook, SUV's, 7 Kayaks
The house and property were as described and expected and we were extremely happy with our stay! We were specifically looking for something outside of the typical tourist spots and Gary’s place did not disappoint. Gary specifically stated that the mosquito population at his house was low and he was absolutely right! Just a few tips and recommendations for other potential visitors. - The kayaks must be taken down the hill to the beach for each use for security reasons. We hesitated to use them until our last day for this reason but we wish we hadn’t. Gary made it very easy and he took them down on his car. It’s an easy paddle to some snorkeling and nice beach areas. You can avoid paying for parking and hauling gear. - there is a public road between the pool area and beach where locals like to park and hang out. Shrubbery gives visual privacy but you may hear music. This did not detract from our stay. Overall we absolutely recommend this house to others.

🏖 BRAND NEW MODERN 🏖 Home #1 Seconds from Beach
Spencer‘s properties are absolutely beautiful and perfectly located just as advertised The proximity to the beach, as well as the avenue, renders it and idyllic vacation location

Little Paradise Lakefront Lodge
Beautiful place, beautiful views!

Playa Tivives- Aslan’s Country
Our family really enjoyed our relaxing stay here. The views, the pool, and the patio were all perfect places to relax and enjoy our time together. The kitchen was well equipped. The 3 bedrooms all had their own nice en suite bathrooms which was great! I'd highly recommend this for a relaxing stay in an off the beaten path oceanfront spot! As other I read in other reviews, the beach did have lots of driftwood and some trash that had washed up. This didn't detract from our stay at all, but worth noting if that would bother you. Jorge was great with communication before and during our trip. The restaurant he recommended right outside the gated community was a great meal and the family running the restaurant were very welcoming and accommodating.

Modern Penthouse & Beach Front
This place was so beautiful, very clean and the communication was sufficient. The power went out for like a minute and someone came by to make sure that everything was ok. The response time was amazing. The power turned back on shortly after. I would definitely stay here again.

Beach Front Feet in the Sand, Ocean View, 1 BR 1BA
Loved our time at this beautiful spot! The view onto the beach and watching sunsets from the deck was stunning. Very comfortable accommodation, spacious and clean. Some good restaurants within walking distance. Great all around.

Oceanfront Luxury Dual Master Stes min walk 2 town
Everything was great at the place. Excellent location and overall great place. nice pool too. I would recommend this accommodation.

Panoramic Ocean Views, 5 minute walk to Beach
Wonderful view of the water from the moment you walk in the front door! We didn’t get tired of looking at the water or listening to the waves on the large deck. We traveled with another couple and there was plenty of space for everyone. Although we didn’t cook in, it appeared there were ample plates, silverware, cooking utensils, pans, etc. There was a coffee maker, microwave and a blender, but no toaster. The beds in all rooms were firm. The white sand beach in Flamingo is beautiful and my favorite in Costa Rica. The town of Flamingo has several restaurants/bars and the Flamingo marina is also very close. You can walk to the beach, restaurants/bars and marina, but the condo is up a steep hill. We elected to rent a golf cart and were also able to see Potrero and Brasilito. I loved the location of the condo and we had a great time.

Amazing Views | Huge Terrace | Concierge Services
this place is gorgeous and so peaceful. having full access to the resort next door was extremely convenient. security called us a taxi any time we needed and they were never more than 5 minutes away

Stunning Oceanfront Condo Playa Flamingo/ Conchal
Sean was a great host. Very responsive and proactive to make check in a smooth process. Loved the view and semi-private beach access. Place was clean and as described. Hope to come back.

OCEAN VIEWS-Beachfront Penthouse/pools/rooftop!
This is a beautiful condo. We had plenty of space and our teenagers loved the pool. We enjoyed being a little bit away from the center of town but a quick walk to restaurants and shops. Soda Raquel was very close by and served a delicious traditional breakfast. The condo is very spacious and has everything you need to be comfortable. We really enjoyed spending time on the deck. We appreciated knowing there were guards who ensured only guests were in the pool area.

Luxury Condo | Reserva Conchal Beach Club & Spa
Great stay at Andres’s place in Reserva Conchal! The condo has beautiful views, and was well stocked and clean. The pool for the condo complex was perfect for our toddler, and we loved having access to the Beach Club. We would definitely stay here again!
