Vacation rentals with beach access in Punta Islita

Our stay was amazing! Justin was awesome, giving us easy instructions and was so friendly. The walk into town only took about 10 minutes, felt super safe and was enjoyable. The room itself was very clean, comfortable and had some much needed AC! Would for sure come back, 10/10 stay! Check out Cosita close by for some delicious authentic Italian pizza too!

Loved my stay here. Saoussen's team was quick to respond to any texts & were endlessly helpful (thanks Pablo!) Above and beyond what i expected. The casita was impeccably clean, comfortable, bright, and private. The neighbourhood was much more rustic than i expected, even based on my independent research. That is neither good nor bad, just surprising. Ultimately it suited me very well because i was not looking for a resort experience & really enjoyed the simplicity of the very small community of Playa Pelada, where everything I wanted was close: groceries were near by, Sunrise Coffee for excellent breakfasts, a handful of restaurants to choose from and the beach is 2 blocks away. I would recommend flying from Liberia to Nosara — it’s no more expensive than the shuttle van but so much faster and avoids the brutal roads. And Saoussen's team made arranging that very easy. I can be a nervous traveller, especially on my own. But they put my worries to rest by truly exemplifying Pura Vida!

The location of this place was absolutely perfect!! Walking distance to the beach and several great restaurants. The yoga classes were amazing and there was even a DJ one night. The pool was great also. The place was clean, and patio was nice to sit on. We did experience ants in the bathroom one night, but once we got rid of them they didn’t come back. Overall great and very accommodating.

Such a gorgeous little spot in the heart of Guiones. Super close to the beach, restaurants and shops, but still tranquil! Check-in was so easy and clear, the communication was immediate, and though I am familiar with Nosara, the host offered a lot of information on the area and resources for potential needs (tours, transport etc.). The place was beautiful, loved the open-air kitchen - fully stocked with all of the appliances and kitchenware one might need. The room and bathroom were immaculate, beautifully designed - loved the bay window day bed! Overall had a wonderful stay, and would absolutely stay here again.

Casa muy bonita, con vistas al mar espectaculares, cerca de playas que son muy lindas. La atención de Luz fue muy amable. Volveríamos a ir sin pensarlo. Muchas gracias!

A wonderful stay in a quiet neighbourhood right by the beach. Clean and perfectly equipped. The host was so responsive and tended to our needs right away. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Would come back. Highly recommend

La antifriona estuvo atenta, fue muy amable y fue flexible con la hora de ingreso y salida 👍😊, el alojamiento tiene una vista hermosa y el acceso es fácil

Esperanza was a wonderful host! The spot was beautiful and only a 10 minute walk from Playa Pelada. Would definitely stay here again!

Nuestra estancia en familia estuvo excelente, la casa amplia, moderna y muy bien decorada, con todo lo necesario en la cocina para preparar toda clase de alimentos, piscina amplia y espacios en el patio trasero que da al mar para descansar o compartir con los tuyos; justo frente al mar por lo que desde casi todas las áreas de la casa se puede apreciar con facilidad . Nos encantó y esperamos poder volver muy pronto. Recomendada 100%

We had such a lovely time staying at Casa De Celeste. The property was absolutely gorgeous and in close proximity to town and adventures. It was the perfect getaway before our wedding. The caretaker Vincente was so kind and very helpful. He truly made the place feel like home. We will return and are looking forward to that day. I highly recommend this property.

Adi was a fantastic host and had a beautiful property. He was very kind and made us feel right at home. He gave us all the privacy we needed. I am not sure if I missed this in the description of the property but we had the use of cleaners at no extra cost whenever we wanted, much like a hotel. We only used the service once but it was a nice touch. There is another suite above but we rarely saw them. The pool would be shared but again, they used the pool at different times. You can hear the roar of the waves from the property which is lovely even though it is maybe 400 meters through the trees and across the road. Mal Pais is a nice area to get out of hectic Santa Teresa and I would do this again. This has nothing to do with our excellent host but, to avoid disappointment, this is not a walk friendly area of Costa Rica. The roads are busy with ATV's and motorbikes and an awful lot of heavy equipment with no sidewalks. However, if you fancy a walk, the huge beaches slake that thirst.

Wow! What an amazing place! Right on an empty beach and the cutest house! We had a great stay here and are already dreaming of coming back especially when a pool is added!

Casa Samara was described as family friendly, and it sure was! The kids *loved* the pool and we could walk right out the front gate to the beach. It was about a 25 minute walk (with kids) to downtown Samara. The hosts were so responsive when we extended our stay and needed some clean sheets. All of the rooms had fans and all of the beds had bug nets. 💜

We had the most amazing stay in this beautiful retreat! The location is simply amazing, the views of the valley were breathtaking and we loved sitting on the balcony looking out at the ocean view! We enjoyed the drive into Samara each day, and there were 2 amazing beaches just a few minutes from the house! The howler monkeys were everyone's highlight as they came to visit the surrounding trees a few times. The hosts were amazing and the property manager and staff were super friendly and helpful. We simply can't say enough about this place, and we're already looking at the calendar to see when we can return for another stay!

really lovely place, cute neighborhood, nice walk to the beach and restaurants, super close drive to Guiones for even more options! loved the pool and gardens. beautiful place!

Laura’s place is cozy and feels very local. The front porch is amazing! You can hear the waves and the birds and monkeys. Fans keep it cool enough. Easy walk to beach and good restaurants right on the same road.

Le logement est très joli et bien situé. Marisa est incroyable! Elle a même ajouté du mobilier avant notre arrivée pour nous accommoder afin qu’on puisse prendre des repas à 4 autour d’une table dehors comme en-dedans. Super bien décoré. Végétation nous faisant sentir bien. Très bien isolé à l’intérieur pour ne pas entendre les quads qui passent sur la rue principale. Nous avons adoré!

Not much to add beyond the countless rave reviews here. The restorative and serene view and location is obviously the best quality, but the condo itself is comfortable and offers all the comforts of home as well. We loved the empty beach, the sound of the surf, and the cackle of the tropical birds. If you want crowds and traffic jams, head to Tamarindo. If you yearn for quiet and a vintage Costan Rican experience, I recommend without hesitation.

Great host, super responsive and gave a nice list of all the places to eat around would definitely go back!

Endroit très relax pour terminer un séjour de 15 jours au Costa Rica. Condo très bien situé et avec une vue magnifique sur la mer. Vous pouvez marcher aisément jusqu’à la plage

El lugar cumplió nuestras expectativas , tuvimos la oportunidad de ir caminando a la playa por lo cerca que queda. El acceso fué fácil y hay comercios (restaurantes , coffee shops , supermercados, etc) bastante cerca. Mi esposo y yo la pasamos excelente ! Gracias a ambos por la atención y pronta respuesta.

Grazie mille Elena i Francesco! Thank you for a lovely stay. Your place suited our needs very well. We appreciate speaking with you in French. C'est très apprécié. On a aussi bien aimé les oranges et mandarines. Vos suggestions pour les attraits locaux nous ont beaucoup plu. Encore, un gros merci!

The condo was beautiful, and you can't beat the view. Any questions we had were quickly addressed. The pool was really nice as well. You can't really walk to town safely because there is no sidewalk and it's a busy main road. Adults should be able to during the day I guess, we never attempted it. You can walk to town via the beach, the walk to the beach is easy. We would definitely stay there again!

El departamento de Mariajo es muy comodo y moderno. Tiene todos los electrodomésticos y utensilios necesarios para vivir. También se encuentra en una zona muy tranquila, que permite llegar rapidamente a todos los lugares de santa teresa / mal pais. Mariajo es muy atenta y servicial. Nos ayudo en todo lo que necesitamos. Recomiendo 100% este lugar y en especial la host!
