Vacation rentals in Gulf of Papagayo

This was by far one of the most beautiful AirBnB's we've every stayed at. It really felt like a mini resort. We had two families, and everyone was able to have their own room and space. Most of our time was spent in the gorgeous pool or in the outdoor kitchen. The pictures are accurate, but everything is more wonderful than the pictures. There is wildlife everywhere - gorgeous birds, geckos, howler monkeys down the street. The pantry off the kitchen protects your food, and we had no problems with bugs (we were told it was the time of year). We did have a couple of friendly birds that begged for food, but they were amusing to watch. The location, though remote, is in a gated community and was very safe. It was only a 10 minute walk to a beach that seemd almost private...not more than a few dozen people at a time on a beach that had to stretch for a mile. Do not hesitate to rent this place!!!

5 Stars – Unforgettable Beachside Retreat! We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beautiful home in Palm Beach Estates! Dirk was an exceptional host—always quick to respond and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. The house is just steps from the beach, making it easy to enjoy the ocean anytime. We especially loved the outdoor grill area—it was perfect for cooking up the fresh red snapper we got from the local fish truck. So delicious! The pool was a major highlight for our family. The colorful lights at night made it feel magical, and we spent many evenings playing Marco Polo with our girls—such great memories. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The neighborhood felt safe and peaceful, with great access to local spots and the beach just around the corner. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable beach getaway!

Beautiful spot close to the city!

We had a good time at Alexandra’s place, she was a great host, super accommodating and flexible. She was one of the friendliest hosts we’ve ever had. It would be helpful to have a car to get around, but only a 15 minute walk to the beach at Playa Grande and a few restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

Accommodation with well-equipped kitchen, Doña Blanca Rosa is very attentive to the accommodation. The apartment is a few blocks away from Playa Potrero and 10 minutes away from Playa Flamingo. The place is close to many beautiful beaches.

Enjoyed every minute staying here. Beautiful house, awesome pool with gorgeous views!Host was very responsive and answered all of my questions and concerns almost immediately. Would definitely recommend anyone staying in this area to book this Airbnb

Casa Plumería is a spectacular house with open spaces. A modern one-story house with bright and cool areas, which allow you to greatly enjoy all the spaces. We thought the kitchen was very complete for a beach house and we loved the grill area with an outdoor refrigerator to enjoy the pool. The bonfire pit was definitely a bonus. Everything was clean and tidy, making our vacation perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at Paul’s Villa for 10 nights and had an amazing experience. The photos don’t do the balcony view justice — the sunsets each night were absolutely breathtaking. The shuttle service and drivers were friendly and really elevated our trip. Paul was very responsive, helped arrange a reliable airport driver who we used throughout the stay, and quickly resolved a small issue with the safe. While the pools looked bigger in photos, they were still enjoyable and a nice alternative to the beach. The beachfront restaurants were all great and easily accessible with the shuttle. Our only complaint — which isn’t Paul’s fault — was that red ants occasionally came in through the sink drains and front door. It wasn’t a huge issue, just something to note. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paul’s Villa, were sad to leave, and are already looking forward to returning next year!
