Family-friendly vacation rentals in Puerto Carrillo

This was an amazing stay, our host gave us the royal treatment. Five stars all the way around.

I love the quiet location and great view! We were returning for a 3rd visit to this house and it’s always great! Walkable food, drinks, coffee and beach. Great hosts, always super responsive and kind. They’re helpful with things around the house and know everything about the area if you need anything. The beach is paradise! The house is a perfect place for you to feel like you’re miles away from anything, when really it’s just a quick walk

The location for this airbnb was actually perfect for us! We were upgraded from the red villa to the yellow villa and we were so grateful and excited to start our adventure!The hosts were so amazing and kind with all of our questions and needs, we borrowed their bikes and road down to the beach it took about 3 minutes it was about half a mile away to playa conchal !! We also went to two other beaches we did drive to them though we enjoyed playa Mina’s and playa pirate 🏴‍☠️! The airbnb was soooo spacious and everything was clean and tidy they also offered two fridges and any cooking appliance imaginable! We also saw so much wildlife during our stay here we saw howler monkeys and all types of birds! Also the pool is huge!! We can’t wait to visit Costa Rica again sometime in the near future and we will definitely be staying here again!!!

We absolutely loved our stay. Everything within Las Catalinas was a 4 minute walk from Trevelynn’s place. The Airbnb was clean, comfortable, and exactly how we expected. Trevelynn and TropicalHomes were very helpful in planning for our stay and very responsive once we arrived. We travelled with 2 kids 2 and under, and the town was perfect for us! Pool, splash pad, open space for the kids to move around while we waited for dinner! It was a dream! Plus, Trevelynn had 2 pack and plays available so we didn’t have to fly with them!

This is a beautiful condo that was well-appointed and spotless. Instructions were very clear and the guide in the condo suggested GREAT restaurants in the area. The clubhouse pool is amazing with a nice golf course view. Access to the beach club pools and beach are definitely one of the highlights. Amazing! Highly recommend for a relaxing and fun experience at Playa Conchal.

We absolutely loved our time at Mariposa cottage. The terrace view was amazing and we enjoyed the visitors we had while enjoying our morning coffee. Iguanas, birds, squirrels, and the sound of howler monkeys and cicadas. The cottage has tons of character and artistic flair and the outdoor shower was fantastic! Peter was a great host. Highly recommend Mariposa if you’re looking for something unique with a fabulous view of the ocean in a jungle like setting.

This was a great place where we felt so lucky to have landed! The Villas are off the beaten path but still so close to everything in Samara town. We were thankful to be able to walk to and from the beach without having to spend much time on the busy town roads. The property is wonderfully maintained with beautiful landscaping. Our rental was furthest from the road and wonderfully private and quiet. We were delighted to be treated to so much space both inside and out. It included a large private covered patio with comfy furniture and a large dining table. Inside, the beds were all comfortable, the shower had plenty of pressure and warm water, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and clean up meals and there were 3 AC units that made our stay there totally comfortable.

Wonderful week with my family of four! Loved Punta Islita—beautiful beach and resort- amenities available to us! So much wildlife around! We actually loved the separate master bedroom, worked perfectly for us. The pool was exquisite! Highly recommend!

Our family of 4 stayed here and it was perfect! Location was great, beach was walking distance, plenty of room and space, we felt safe, loved the pool. So happy we stayed here!

They respond very quickly and was a great help not to mention Evelyn, who is incredibly kind. The place is perfect and very clean. Close to everything. We had the casa to ourselves. I would highly recommend staying here.

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!

Beautiful view. Pool was a good temperature. Inside was very nice. We would stay here again for the great experience. Great location that gives you the privacy and ocean view but still very close to town and beaches. Be prepared for some ants inside and outside but they don't bother anything.

Great place to stay in Santa Teresa. We were surprised at how big the place is. The beds were super comfortable and there was plenty of space to hang out in the living room/kitchen. The balconies are an amazing plus. The location is incredible- right on the Main Street but tucked away and safe. Chino gave us some wonderful recommendations of beaches to go to that we ended up repeating! Walking to Santa Teresa beach was a big advantage for days when everyone didn’t want to do the same thing. We hope to be back!

I stayed here with three friends for a girls’ trip, and we loved the outdoor living experience. The pool was amazing and felt very private. Overall, this was a great place to stay—we all agreed that the house made our trip even better. It was one of our favorite parts! Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our time here. It is right on the beach, which made it so easy and fun traveling with kids.

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!

We had a great stay at Casa Tranquilla. Katherine and Willie were very responsive to our needs. The house was as described. We loved sitting in the rocking chairs under the shade by the pool. The wildlife was so fun -- we did see the monkeys pass by a few times. Like us, they seemed happy about the location. We stayed for 12 days, and I could work remotely during the week. The wifi in the house was strong enough for video calls. That said, Costa Rica has intermittent outages, and we experienced some brief loss of power and internet access a couple of times. It wasn't a surprise and didn't last long. If you haven't been to Costa Rica before, be aware that there aren't sidewalks in this area. The walk to town and the beach is along the roadside and on dirt trails. It's not a big deal and everything felt very close and safe, but it was helpful for us to know that going in. If you're looking for the beach, find the trail :) Thank you Katherine and Willie for the excellent stay!

Our stay was very enjoyable. The villa was spacious and the pool was outstanding. It was located very near restaurants in Brasalito and Flamingo as well as multiple beaches. We would definitely return here!

This place was amazing! Kitchen was well stocked, the grill was great for cooking. The location was ideal. It was so clean! Can’t recommend it enough.

José was a fantastic host. He was extremely helpful and communicated with us throughout our stay, including a great recommendation for the night market. We love the hammocks and super sweet dog!

Casa Palmas was just stunning!! Sandy steps from the beautiful clear water beach, with a shady pool nestled in the palms AND it’s walking distance to amazing restaurants. Appreciated the super friendly ground’s staff, and even met adorable little local cats that come by to say hi. Nick also showed up so promptly to fix a minor issue. Would definitely love to stay again😍

The views and location to the beach are absolutely incredible. This place was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the open air concept. This place made our trip to Costa Rica even better. Highly recommend if you want to get away from the crowds but still be close to everything you need!!

Jackie was an amazing host! She is very willing to help with any questions. She was fun to be with and lives close. The beach was beautiful and safe to swim in. We are a group of 4 couples and the space worked well for us. We highly recommend this property and will return.

A nice and peaceful complex on the north end of town. The place has an everything you need, in addition to a beautiful pool in a beautiful lush garden, great for day or night- but being steps from the beach is the real treat.
