Villa vacation rentals in Punta Islita

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay! The house is gorgeous and the pool is amazing. The host was wonderful, responsive and truly cared. She was flexible and we would definitely stay there again. I wouldn't say this property is walkable by any means but lovely non the less!

This house was our home for a couple of weeks, and it was exactly right. It's beautiful and spacious, surrounded by lush landscape, wonderful details. It was the perfect location for us, as we were a group of friends all doing different things that were all accessible - surfing, yoga, ceramics classes, etc. The house was also great for everyone to hang out in the together comfortably and go swimming in the beautiful pool and make meals together. There was a beautiful pixote that visited, and a family of howler monkeys that ate the little papaya tree in the yard. Heaven! This place is perfect, and in a perfect location. Would book again for our next Nosara trip for sure.

Great cafe near by good spacious place

We really enjoyed our stay — the view and the pool were just perfect for us. It was quite hot in Samara during our visit, and we felt the insulation could have been a bit better, as the apartment got pretty warm. While the AC helped cool down the bedrooms, the living area stayed quite warm.

La Perla is a lovely home and garden. We enjoyed our time, hanging around the house and pool...and we saw a lot of wild life right in the yard (howler monkeys, iguanas/lizards, crabs, parakeets, other lovely birds). It is a short walk to the beach to watch great sunsets or walk in the interesting tide pools. You are in close walking distance to Playa Hermosa (15-20min), which is the nicest beach for swimming in our opinion. Most importantly, you are not in the busy Santa Teresa stretch - you are north of it. The house is close to the road so you will hear traffic but not a huge deal and did not affect sleeps. Raphaelle was great at responding to any questions and providing suggestions. She arranged our transport to/from the airport and our ATV so that it was there when we arrived. The daily cleaning is also nice.

This was our first time visiting CR and we were truly impressed with Mar's space. Everything was as described and Mar was kind enough to offer us local recommendations and suggestions while we were there. Would absolutely come back again!

The house and surrounding environment was incredibly we saw many animals including monkeys, butterflies, curious squirrels and many colourful birds where especially the hummingbirds gets very close to you if you wish. Anne-Laures is ever helpful and fast responding if you have questions about anything 😊. The place is literally almost in the jungle with a view above it and over the ocean and that is only a 10 minute drive in your 4x4 car. We want to thank you Anne for a magnificent stay Best regards the Mikalski family

Place was better than shown, host is great and area is very convenient especially if you are looking for a family vacation in a quiet place.

I stayed in Casa Aria for 8d with a group of 7 friends, all there from the Pacific NW US to celebrate my 50th birthday. Casa Aria was the ocean-view villa of our dreams!! We were enchanted from the moment we arrived until departure. Every detail has been thoughtfully planned to optimize relaxation and enjoyment of the space. One word: magical! The housekeeper, Iesenia, was a highlight...we knew tidying up was included, but her helpfulness, attentiveness, and friendly demeanor went above and beyond our expectations. From greeting us with beautiful fresh fruit plates to facilitating fixing minor issues, she was always such a joy. It was so lovely not having to worry about dishes or towels, allowing us to focus on enjoying ourselves and being fully present with friends. Iesenia is a true gem. The outdoor livingspace & views are breathtaking, & made leaving the house to explore (which we did do :) difficult, b/c we really had everything we needed right there. Treat yourself - rent it!

Outstanding service and place. Our stay was fantastic

Villa Laya is truly spectacular. The house offers privacy and is very well designed offering spectacular views from every room. Bernice was a great host and was very helpful. I’ve stayed in a lot of AirBnb’s and this one was truly special. I seriously can’t recommend it enough!

Such a lovely stay, the villa is gorgeous, views are stunning, we loved it! The hill is walkable but steep so it was definitely a good work out, we had a 4x4 and it managed it fine. Santa Teresa is great, so many restaurants and bars, we surfed/tried to, headed to Montezuma for zip wire and thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets from the villa. BBQ and kitchen was great, we ate in a few times and quite enjoyed watching the ant action at night. Tomi the dog was a lovely extra we discovered he loved chomping on ice cubes, he was a gem! The hosts are very responsive, loved the info they sent it was great, would highly recommend staying here.

We absolutely loved our stay in Nosara. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect - just a few minutes walk away from great food and Playa Palada and only a short drive (or slightly longer walk) from Playa Guiones. The pool at the house was super refreshing after a long day at the beach. Kattia was very helpful and responsive to all of our questions. We couldn't have had a better stay or experience, thank you!

Our second stay and already booked for next year. Amazing house with an amazing pool/view. Close to town and a great base to explore the area. Love the house and the town. Host super responsive to any questions and the concierge service is great too. Can’t wait to return!

This was the best airbnb my friends and I have stayed at. I had the best week of my life in Santa Teresa, and I will absolutely be back! The location, the view, the pool...... it was all just perfection. Enjoy Villa Melody!

My wife and I had an amazing week at Villa Akoya. The home was immaculate when we arrived and came stocked with fresh fruit, wine and beer. The sunset views were nothing short of spectacular every night. The support team for the Villa are amazing. Milena, our concierge for our stay was incredibly helpful and kind, suggesting beaches to visit, things to do and restaurants at which to eat. She also arranged transportation for us when needed. Marta, the housekeeper, is there every day between 10a-2p. She keeps the place immaculate and does laundry if needed. The security guard was on duty every night from 5pm until 5am. He was visible but not intrusive. Maintenance kept the pool sparkling, grounds clean and Internet working. While the location is amazing and close to everything, it is also next to a beach access road which means you will hear some traffic (especially at sunset) and it won't feel particularly private. BUT we WILL be going back soon. Highly recommended!

Everything was ok just the a/c was barely working but there were very nice and helpful

In general, the property is impeccable, the common areas such as the pool and the thatch-roof space were always tidy. The house is beautiful and the hosts are friendly! I hope to be back soon :)

The place was amazing! They look cleaners and maid service was also friendly. The only problem is the raccoons drinking from the pool later at night and crawling on the roof but I think that’s out of their hands. Otherwise it’s the most central spot for anything around Santa Teresa and the host is so responsive!

The Condominium is very nice and quiet, the house is the same as the photos, Laura is always attentive. I'd go back...

Our stay at Pierre-Alexandre’s house in Playa Hermosa was absolutely perfect! The home was stunning—immaculate, stylishly decorated, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor area, with its gorgeous pool and lush surroundings, was a highlight, making it hard to leave! Pierre-Alexandre was an outstanding host, incredibly attentive, and quick to respond to any questions we had. He went above and beyond, sharing local tips for nearby beaches, restaurants which felt like the warm hospitality we love. The location is ideal, just steps from the serene Playa Hermosa, offering the perfect mix of tranquility and easy access to Santa Teresa’s vibrant scene. We can’t recommend Pierre-Alexandre’s place enough and are already dreaming of our next visit! Thank you for an amazing experience!

Beautiful home with a beautiful view. Shannon provides pretty much everything you need and Luis is alway available and responds to problems very quickly. It is a Costa Rican home in a newly developed forested area, so be aware you will have to deal with bugs and insects, more so than if you're used to staying in the lowlands.

Beautiful stay at Villa Shemesh, a scenic and peaceful house tucked away in nature! I would absolutely recommend this place. - Very clean and comfortable house, the furniture is high quality and the design choices are calming and comfortable at the same time - You feel tucked away in nature and isolated in the best way - Very responsive host at various hours of the day, which made us feel welcome and cared for - Beautiful birds visiting every day - Private pool for some downtime and cooling moments on the particularly hotter days - Ample amounts of towels and supplies for all guests - Daily kind cleaning personnel For Awareness: - the drive up to the villa is very steep, you will need to take it slow and have a 4x4 - the living room does not have A/C, sometimes hard to enjoy the space due to heat or when cooking Overall incredible house!

SANTA TERESA stole my heart! Not only is the location beautiful, but thanks to Dana and her husband, 'our home,' was more than what we expected. It was exactly as listed, and so much more - Dana was incredibly kind, and her recommendations were right on point - restaurants, tours, driver, etc. We always felt safe, and well-taken care of; the children were thrilled with all the wonderful activities and gadgets the house came with. I just can't say enough about our trip, it was magical - and it was all thanks to Dana. I wish I could give her more than 5-stars...it is well-deserved. 'Dana, my friend, see you soon!'
