Beachfront vacation rentals in San José Province

Amazing place!

We were quite pleased with our stay here. The apartment was clean and centrally located. The Manuel Antonio Nat'l Park is a short walk around the corner. The beach is also close by. We walked to the supermarket and local restaurants. We felt safe and comfortable there. We used the San Bada hotel location as the pickup for excursions, which worked well. Overall, we had a great experience. Johnny was always responsive and helpful with recommendations.

Beautiful house with all the possible amenities. Refreshing soaking pool with friendly Iguanas hanging out nearby. The view of the ocean is stunning. Very close to town, yet completely private. We loved it and hope to come back soon! Mucho gusto. Thank you... Pura Vida

The accommodation exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean, something we greatly value and the space was very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Nia was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Great stay at Palo Seco. Would visit again. Very satisfied. Susan is an amazing host!!

Absolutely loved this space in Manuel Antonio! It had amazing views and a private feel, while also being in a great location. It was an extra bonus to be able to use La Mariposa hotel’s amenities!

Paradise found is an apt name. What a beautiful home in a beautiful place. I stayed for 4 nights with my wife and 3 teenage boys. The home was clean and well stocked with all the items we needed to make meals in the kitchen. Jose, the caretaker, met us at check in and showed us the lay of the land. We had access to the garage that had surf boards and body boards. The pool was clean and warm, and we had fun jumping in and splashing around. The beach across the street is a close to private as you can get. It goes on for miles each direction. The only people we saw were the occasional local fishing or some folks taking a stroll on horseback. Waves were huge and fun to play in. Watch out for rip tides! The directions to the home were great. The house is located between Jaco and Manuel Antonio. Both fun spots to explore. Thank you Mary and Jose for making our family trip unforgettable. We cant wait to return.

We had a great short stay at Lilly’s place. One of the few with a private pool which was awesome for our daughters. Well equipped and comfortable. Living area can get warm as the AC units are in the bedrooms only but ceiling fans help. Overall recommend staying here if in the Parrita/Esterillos area.

Amazing stay! The beach views were stunning. The place felt super private and safe. Security placed at the entrance to the community and another at the entrance to the beach. Omar replied quickly to our questions with clear, helpful info. Shops and restaurants were just a short drive away. Would definitely stay there again!

Super cute and convenient! Thoughtful design, well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and laundry was a real bonus! Surprisingly quiet and private as well. Hosts were wonderful, patient, helpful and acommodating. Would highly recommend!

Dominical was our favorite place to stay & it was great meeting the hosts. We were lucky enough to be recommended great restaurants & would definitely be back here. We were able to park the car in the private parking and walk everywhere (beach, restaurants, shops etc), which was great !!

We had an exceptional 3 nights. Everything was very clean, the bed is very large and very comfortable. The pool is ideal and the view is breathtaking, you can see the waves crashing on the sand and you are lulled by the sound of the waves. We had a wasp nest concern and Osa Property resolved our concern in just a few hours. They are very responsive and attentive. We fell in love with this apartment.

We absolutely loved this airbnb!! The view was incredible and the access to the beach made it so simple to enjoy our time. It’s the perfect location close by to Jaco, Manuel Antonio, and rainmaker, while being in a less touristy/ less crowded area. The entire complex felt incredibly safe, including the beach. There’s many stores nearby for groceries as well! Carrie was also incredibly helpful before and during our stay! Any questions we had, she responded within the hour and truly made this trip even better! Highly recommend!

Romelia is a spectacular host!! And her place matches her personality, warm and friendly. Also, the place was very clean and comfortable, so we felt right at home. l would go back any chance l get and....let's not forget about the view!!! 😍

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Choucoune! My family of 5, including one toddler and a kindergartner and their grandmother, visited and had a wonderful experience. Parrita was a wonderful are to experience the true Costa Rica lifestyle beyond a tourist area. Additionally, we loved doing some excursions in Quepos and Manuel Antonio and had an easy time navigating to both from the house. David and Astrude’s house felt like a home away from home. We were truly sad to leave and hope to come stay again! I also have to express my gratitude to the caretaker, Mrs. Liliam, for being so attentive to the property and showing kindness to my young children who wanted to talk to her. While the beach was not safe for swimming, we loved swimming in the pool backyard and then taking trips to calmer beaches nearby. My kids asked if we could move there and would’ve stayed forever if we could! Thank you, David and Astrude!

We love it here!!! Great location, clean and has everything you need for a relaxing, peaceful trip. Tracy is so easy to talk to/ get ahold of and helpful. We are so happy that we stayed here again. :)

From the moment we arrived, Greg and Lisa made us feel completely at home with their warmth and hospitality. Our first impression of Beachhouse Incognito truly took our breath away—the stunning pool, with the sound and sight of waves crashing just beyond, set the perfect tone. The bungalow was exactly what we hoped for: cool, cozy, and inviting. But the real magic happened on the porch, where we sipped our morning coffee and watched a parade of wildlife—iguanas, coatis, agoutis, hummingbirds, and so many lizards. Evenings brought more delight as we grilled our dinners by the pool and spotted bats flitting overhead. At night, thunderstorms rolled in, making everything feel even more magical. Most of our days were spent floating in the pool and simply relaxing, but we also loved exploring the local culture of Dominical. Highlights included ceviche at Fuego Brewery, outstanding chicken wings at Jolly Roger Bar, and spotting capuchin monkeys at La Parcela. We can’t wait to come back!

If you're looking for a spot just off the beaten path with the beauty of the rainforest right at your fingertips and the coast just a short walk away, then this is the place for you. The layout and outdoor living spaces of the home allow you to enjoy the toucans, scarlet macaws, hummingbirds and even monkeys if you have a keen eye. The howler monkey was hard to spot, but he put on quite a show! You'll spot wildlife along the path to the beach as well, so enjoy the short walk. After you've spotted the iguana and what we thought was an agouti, you'll find the truly semi-private beach. We will miss the magic of the coast and rainforest for sure. Uvita is just a short drive away and we liked that it wasn't heavily congested. You'll find a waterfall close to Uvita and we discovered the hidden gem of a restaurant called Tilapias El Pavón. All that to say, we loved the location. It was peaceful and had everything we needed for the perfect beach vacation.

Great place! I wishes we've stayed longer! Definitely recommend it! and for sure we will book this place again!

Awesome location on Dominicalito beach. Zion was the best! He followed us to the beach and hung out waiting for us while we surfed. Yard is super nice and private and you can basically see the ocean from the front door if the property gate is open. It is a clean, well maintained space that was perfect for a night. No hot water but that’s common in Costa Rica. Great place

I had a pleasant stay at this apartment, which was very clean and well-maintained. the location is fantastic—just a minute's walk to the beach, with many restaurants nearby. Raul, the, also responded very quickly to my inquiries, which was really helpful. Only thing was that I was expecting separate room but it was a big studio

Silvia was a fantastic host - met us at the cabin, showed us around and even gave us a token for a free cocktail in her bar! The cabin was exactly as described - small but clean and comfortable. The bed upstairs is low, however, with the fan on we weren’t too hot and slept really well, despite the storms! The shower was awesome! The shared kitchen space was great - had everything we needed, and it was really handy having a fridge in the cabin. Nice to have outside space to sit in too. Only 100m from entrance to park, with lifeguard station not far away, for safe swimming as there are rip currents and big surf! Recommend El Hornito for fantastic pizza and empanadas - almost directly opposite. Great budget accommodation 😁👍

Denis's place is just as described. Very private, feels safe, close to everything in Dominical but tucked away in a small residential area. Easy walk to the beach. We kept our surfboards in the locked property without issue. Rented a car for a few days and did not have issues with parking. The bus was very clean, and had everything we needed for basic cooking on two hot plates. Denia and her husband are kind, very responsive and proactive hosts. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful place! Cosy & clean. Quite remote but situated right on the beach with an amazing coastline. Would definitely recommend for a lovely quiet and relaxing stay.
