Vacation rentals with breakfast in Malpais

Absolutely wonderful stay! We would have stayed longer if we could. Great atmosphere, homelike feel, and the proximity to Hermosa beach is unbeatable – just a leisurely two-minute stroll away. The surfing lessons offered are both professional and super fun, really recommended ! The food, especially the included breakfast, is superb, and I highly recommend opting in for dinner as well. Being a surf camp, there's always a vibrant community of like-minded individuals to connect with and plenty of activities to join in. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking for active relaxation and genuine hospitality.

I loved this space at Dream Sea Surf Camp! The design and decor of the room was so inspiring, and I loved the open shower! The common areas of the surf camp are welcoming and beautiful - the landscaping is amazing! On top of all of these positive attributes, the best part was: the vibe, the guests and the employees!!!-- oh and also- the proximity to the stunning nearby beach, Playa Hermosa! Congrats to Dream Sea for bringing a beautiful vision to manifest form--- and through that, giving others the opportunity to create beautiful memories in a gorgeous location!

We loved our stay at the Beach House! Absolutely amazing location at the beachfront, empty beach, nice garden area and cute house. Note regarding insects: We did get visited by a lot of bugs in the house (especially ants) but when we sealed the front door were to able to limit the number.

My stay at this Airbnb was truly magical. Nestled in the heart of nature, it offered the perfect escape from the noise and pace of daily life. The setting was absolutely beautiful—surrounded by trees, birdsong, and peaceful stillness. It felt like a hidden gem where time slows down. What made it even more special was the staff. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and full of amazing local recommendations. Thanks to their tips, I got to experience some of the area’s best-kept secrets—places I never would have found on my own. If you’re looking for a serene retreat where you can reconnect with nature and explore like a local, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back!

This is what I have written for the review, let me know if it’s okay or I need to add anything: We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home for our honeymoon. The views were absolutely stunning, and the lush grounds surrounding the property created a perfect tropical oasis. The pool was a highlight-relaxing there while watching breathtaking sunsets from the deck was unforgettable. The caretakers, Ingrid and Ivan, were exceptional, preparing delicious top-notch meals and always available to answer any questions, which made us feel truly cared for. The location was ideal, with plenty of fun excursions nearby. We enjoyed horseback riding the beach and exploring the vibrant town of Samara, a boating excursion where we saw many dolphins and turtles, making each day an adventure. Overall, this home offered a perfect blend of comfort, natural beauty, and excellent hospitality. We highly recommend it and we plan to return! ❤️

We had an incredible stay at this bed and breakfast. The owners, who also run the place themselves, have put so much care into every detail—right down to the beautiful, functional furniture they built themselves. They truly nailed both the “bed” and “breakfast” aspects—we left feeling completely rested and refreshed. One tip for future guests, especially during the peak of the dry season: embrace the afternoon heat rather than fighting it. Take advantage of the thoughtful amenities—make a refreshing glass of iced tea or water (everything you need is provided), turn on the air, close the shades, and relax on the exceptionally comfortable beds. Even a nap isn’t a bad idea! By around 4:00 PM, it cools off enough to fully enjoy the pool, play darts, or challenge someone to a game of billiards. This is a truly special place, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

Lovely little beachside cottage where the sound of the ocean rocks you to sleep. The location could not be more convenient to the beach and all of Samara’s action. Good AC, slept like a baby! The staff is also lovely. Be aware that this apartment doesn’t have its own kitchen - however, there is a shared fridge you can use for beers! Samara is a wonderful place - one of my favorite beaches to swim in in CR. Lots of warm and welcoming people. Live music all around.

A unique opportunity to stay in a rustic cabin within walking distance of a private beach on the property. Abundant wildlife on the property including monkeys. The bioluminescence tour was the highlight.

Very cosy & beautiful! Great!

Dione's room is separated from her house by a short walkway and porch where we ate breakfast and chatted each morning. She makes something different each day. The private room included a mini frig, excellent air conditioning and was otherwise well-appointed. I loved the thick towels! We really enjoyed the birds in the trees around the house, hearing the howler monkeys and seeing white-faced monkeys at a distance. We appreciated Dione's tips on local experience gems and, of course, the fine sand of beautiful Playa Carrillo. We strongly recommend this host and AirBnB!

I stayed at Joe's place for 1 month while I took a class. It was a perfect place to come "home" to every day. The mornings spend drinking coffee on the upstairs balcony watching the squirrels eat the maturing mangos was my favorite part of the day. The surrounding gardens were beautiful. The area was very walkable and felt safe. A short walk to the beach and local restaurants. Did I mention the mangos!!!
