Beachfront Casa Ola Santa Teresa
Due to an unfortunate issue with our original place to stay, we had to make a last minute pivot. We were so grateful to have found Richard’s place and his incredible hospitality. This place is toward the north part of the town, so it felt much less crowded and it was particularly quiet at night. All we heard were the waves and an occasional lizard on the roof! 😂 We cooked most of our meals at the property, and the kitchen setup worked great. The instant beach access was amazing, and the ability to come back and relax in the hammocks and at the table/couch area in the shade was also a giant perk. Maria cleaned the place each day, which was also a bonus and an example of their wonderful care. It’s located beside a cafe, which does mean more people nearby at times, but it also means quick access to food/drink. Aside from the first evening when a DJ was playing at the cafe (Sunday funday!), it was a quiet and peaceful place to relax and enjoy a beautiful location. Many thanks!

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.

Montezuma Heights Art House
I had an unforgettable spring break with my family at Casa de Arte in Montezuma, Costa Rica. This exquisite, artisanal, and bespoke home is a true gem. The beautiful ambience immediately welcomed us, enhanced by inspiring artwork that adds a unique and creative touch throughout the space. The clean, inviting pool was perfect for relaxing after our daily adventures. The location is ideal—just minutes away from stunning waterfalls, pristine beaches, and exciting outdoor activities, making every day a new adventure. Our helper, Santiago, was absolutely fabulous, attentive and friendly, ensuring our stay was seamless and enjoyable. Casa de Arte offers a perfect blend of artistic charm, comfort, and proximity to nature’s wonders. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a special, peaceful retreat with family or friends in Montezuma.

This was my second time staying at Carlos’ place and I will definitely be back when I come visit Santa Teresa! It is a perfect escape, it feels very private yet is so close to everything you need. The house is clean and has great WiFi and AC for remote work. Carlos is an amazing host, he is super friendly and always willing to help. He even helped me organize a horseback tour. His local knowledge made a huge difference! Great price, great location!

Casa bell-lloc ocean view walk to the beach
La estadía fue espectacular, la casa es tal como se ve en las fotos y Judit fue muy atenta con nosotros. Las habitaciones eran perfectas y las amenidades increíbles. Nos recibieron con un bowl de piña deliciosa y la housekeeper fue súper amable con nosotros siempre. Una experiencia inolvidable para conocer una de las zonas con los mejores atardeceres de Costa Rica.

Casa Grande at Casas de Soleil
We loved our stay at Casas del Soleil. The property is stunning, surrounded by nature, and the villa was spotless with a well-equipped kitchen. Its location, set back from the main road, ensures a peaceful environment. Soraya is truly a treasure and her staff were exceptional. She provided excellent restaurant recommendations, arranged our airport transfer and ATV delivery. The cleaning service was top-notch, and they even took care of our laundry. The pool was an added bonus! I highly recommend this property and look forward to returning!

Casa Rica_Sunset ocean view / pool / fiber optic
Beautiful location and property. View is fantastic. Pool area was lovely. Outdoor bathroom was a vibe. Felt extremely private and peaceful. Fairly quick access to town in Santa Teresa. Our host/concierge Fiona was extremely responsive and helpful. Our first time in Costa Rica so a few notes for other first time visitors relevant to this property. The roads to access the house are really rough which made coming and going an adventure. 4x4 helpful. In April, temp is fairly hot and high humidity. The AC kept the bedrooms nice and cool but the main room stayed pretty warm. House is set in the beautiful jungle which means wildlife at all times of day and night. Very fun but also a LOT of noise. Bring earplugs if a sensitive sleeper. A few small issues with the appliances during our stay but everything was resolved reasonably. Overall our trip was fabulous and would absolutely book with this host and property again.

Two-story apartment closed property, top location
Vi var 4 vuxna och 2st 13 månaders bebisar och vi trivdes mycket bra! Skönt med poolen att svalka sig i och nära till havet och restauranger. Supervänliga kontaktpersoner och städet va fina med barnen. Återvänder absolut!

Quebrada Estate, A Luxury Villa close to the beach
The setting was amazing! It was really cool to be so close to Montezuma and the area but have a peaceful jungle retreat to go to. The pool was wonderful for cooling off and watching the animals. We saw a great variety of birds, reptiles, and had howler monkeys come through. It was an incredible few days. Jodi reached out after first booking and was a very responsive host, she connected us with Leanne and Ron right away, and they could not have been nicer or more helpful with all our local questions, giving suggestions, recommendations and advice. This was a phenomenal portion of our trip!!
