Beachfront vacation rentals in Puntarenas Province

Beautiful off the beaten path home next to the beach. House was beautiful with air conditioning that helped on the hot and humid days. Beach was just across the street which was nice though rip tides were possible so had to swim during certain times of the day to avoid them. Jefferson was always responsive with anything we needed and even offered to do laundry for a small fee which was nice and convenient.

good for short stay and fishing

Great location, the beach is at front and with great access walking. The pool has a good size and the house is very well equipped.

We had a great time at David's place. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room between the bedrooms, main living area, back patio and the pool, and the deck above the pool area. Beautiful views and easy access to the ocean. The pool was cleaned every day and the cleaner came twice during our 11 day stay. The kitchen is more than adequately equipped and there was plenty of room for multiple people to be cooking or visiting in the kitchen. The iguana's were everywhere and we enjoyed the two cats that came around regularly. Communication with the house manager was good. She does work a full time job in addition to managing the house so the responses aren't immediate, but they happened rather quickly.. She setup the private chef for us who catered to our various dietary needs. It was delicious! Would definitely stay here again!

this is probably the best kept secret on the Osa peninsula. if you are the type of person not looking for opulence but rather peace and tranquility in a more rugged setting than a lodge, this place is for you. there are no walls. therefore, there will be bugs in your house and there will be bats in your house. there are bug nets for the beds though. if you embrace the experience it offers, it's the best place you could go to in Costa Rica.

Michel made for a great host. Esterillos Centro is extremely private and convenient to Esterillos Oeste, Hermosa, and Jaco. Plenty of groceries to choose from! We had a wonderful stay!

Spencer is a legend. The unit was incredible. What a phenomenal host too. So helpful with recommendations and so responsive. Thanks Spencer see you next time!!!!

A very nice apartment… just like the photos. Very close to the beach, equipped and good combination with Amelia. I would definitely come back!

I’ve been to CR multiple times in Airbnb. This was by far the best place Ive stayed in. Spectacular house, spacing and little things (good kitchen, pool patio everything)…Katie was a great host, responsive and most importantly a really nice person. Highly recommend 🤙🏼

Extremely well equipped house, we felt right at home. The swimming pool in the privare garden was a hit with the kids, and it was cleaned every morning. The house included games as well, we didn't even have enough time to try out everything. The location is superb, with a beautiful beach in walking distance, a beachfront restaurant and a small grocery store, which allowed as to not having to leave the resort. My favourite was the surrounding wildlife; scarlet macaws flying over the house, meeting deers and monkeys along the way to the beach, lizards and hermit crabs. We definitely recommend Christy's place and would come to stay again.

Real jungle feeling - wildly romantic - Fantastic views of the sea - in the rustic ambience - roaring waves on the beach - huge garden with table tennis, pool and many seating - lounging and hammocks for chilling - animal watching (nasal bear, capewara, iguanas etc...) more Costa Rica does not work 🤩💯🇨🇷 as in a fairy tale - unreal beautiful - particularly beautiful was the reception of Ximena, which gave us many tips for the area and activities- Sister 🌴🏝️

Wonderful home, perfect location and great host! Thanks Nick for a fantastic stay. We will be back.

This is a great house, very convenient and comfortable, perfect to relax on vacation.

Absolutely loved staying in Karen and Chiri’s beautiful home. Karen met us at check in and was very friendly and welcoming. She was kind enough to bring us homemade banana bread and delicious local blue bananas. The house was very private, tastefully decorated and felt quite safe. The backyard pool and view from the bedroom balcony were our favorite parts. The kitchen was well stocked and had all necessary amenities, bed was comfy. The house was within walking distance of the beach and several stores and restaurants. Highly recommend dining at Los Almendros, Karen and Chiri’s restaurant. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home right on the beach with amazing host who was always right there to assist when needed. The home was immaculate and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The living room was a great relaxing spot and my favourite was the patio table overlooking the pool. We loved this home and you can tell the owner takes pride in hosting. We will be back at the first opportunity . Highly recommended. Thank you for an amazing few days!

The sunsets alone were worth every penny!! We raced back to the house every night just to watch the colors change. The house itself is quaint, clean, organized and quite perfect! It’s small but they have what is needed to hang your clothes as there is not a lot of room to leave open luggage. Our family ran and played on the quiet beach. I think we saw 5 people total.. great hard packed sand for morning and evening walks. There was a spot that was very dirty (glass, plastic, etc) from high tide that you would want to wear shoes to walk through. Giovanni was thorough in communications and quick to respond! His directions were very much appreciated. We knew there weren’t a ton of amenities nearby. But it’s no joke, when you leave the house pack what you need as it’s not near activities and has very limited eating. Not an issue for most - just a heads up!

This was by far one of the most beautiful AirBnB's we've every stayed at. It really felt like a mini resort. We had two families, and everyone was able to have their own room and space. Most of our time was spent in the gorgeous pool or in the outdoor kitchen. The pictures are accurate, but everything is more wonderful than the pictures. There is wildlife everywhere - gorgeous birds, geckos, howler monkeys down the street. The pantry off the kitchen protects your food, and we had no problems with bugs (we were told it was the time of year). We did have a couple of friendly birds that begged for food, but they were amusing to watch. The location, though remote, is in a gated community and was very safe. It was only a 10 minute walk to a beach that seemd almost private...not more than a few dozen people at a time on a beach that had to stretch for a mile. Do not hesitate to rent this place!!!

where do i start, location, location this place will leave u breathless, its peaceful, clean, serene, when you first walk in the jungle the green the lush gardens welcomes you you then proceed to where the rooms are and the views of the beach just steps away from you room makes you feel in paradise, breakfast its served on the beach everymorning, you can just feel the stress melting away everyday, the rooms are clean, private,its in the heart of santa teresa plenty of walkable places to go yet while you are inside the compound just will not here the noises from the street. the staff, Glori is an amazing host she is kind, humble, & her warmn heart makes you feel you have been friends forever, Rosa keeps everything clean and neat she is very polite friendly and a great cook & don chepe is always so helpful and kind. if you see Nekaui available i urge tou to snatch it right away i promise you it will not disappoint & you will have an amazing experience.

Karen and David's place was wonderful! From our deck we watched Sloths, squirrels, and the ocean view is what we were craving. Jonathan was there to answer all of questions about restaurants and local activities. Karen's place is conveniently located close to all Puerto Viejo has to offer. We'll definitely be booking here again.

Casa Move was everything we hoped for. Our family arrived and had an easy check in with a quick home tour provided by Wil. The home is less than a 3 minute walk to the beach and to a little corner bodega/cafe. The home was well appointed with all we needed for a comfortable stay. The fellas made friends with the owner of Carton Surf Shop next door and spent their days surfing. We walked the trail nearby and saw monkeys, an anteater and tons of birds. We ended our hike with a stop at the Puddlefish Brewery across the street. It is about a 5-8 minute drive to town and we visited a few times. All in all a wonderful , safe location and a lovely home. Highly recommend!!

The host were great. We were greated upon arrival for help with our luggage. Jorje helped us get events and travel arrangements set up. We were later treated by Dennis and looked forward to seeing him daily on his walks. The true GEM of the entire stay was Harold. He was so kind and willing to help with any and everything. We looked forward to seeing him daily and were sad to have to leave. The property was beautiful, the sunsets were amazing, and the company was a blessing.

This house is situated on a fantastic, uncrowded beach. It stretches on for long beach walks, the sand is soft, the waves are perfect for boogie boarding, and the water temperature is warm. Each day of our stay we boogied boarded for hours with maybe 15 other people in sight. In the evening there are beautiful sunsets. The outdoor space of the house is great for cooling off in the small pool or relaxing in the hammock. The house is located in a gated community inhabited by tourists, so in order to experience authentic Costa Rican restaurants or culture one must drive to a neighboring town about 15 minutes away. The house itself is as described but be aware no amenities (shampoo) are provided with the exception of small soap discs. The beach itself made our stay wonderful.

Just left this beautiful home after a week with family. The sunsets are breathtaking, the location is very secure. Beautiful pool overlooking the ocean and gorgeous landscape. Loved having coffee on the patio every morning, watching and listening to the birds and sighting many iguanas.

Our stay at Jarrod’s place was incredible! Best vacation house you could ask for. Perfect location right on the beach but still super private. Having a swimming pool right on the ocean is about as good as it gets, we usually spend most of our vacation time at the beach but this house was so great we wound up spending more time by the pool. Also the house is stocked very well, everything an Airbnb/rental house should have this house has. Jarrod was very accommodating and helped us with transportation and Covid testing at the house. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Playa Negra area! We will definitely be coming back!
