Family-friendly vacation rentals in Santa María

My friends and I (group of 8 ladies) stayed here for one night at the end of our girls trip vacation in Costa Rica. Lily’s house is absolutely gorgeous. We all had plenty of room and enjoyed our last day in CR. It is close enough to walk to a Fresh Market. The grounds keeper, Nery, was available for any of our questions and very helpful and friendly. It was very close to the airport. Loved our time there and we all wished we could have spent another day or two there to enjoy the beautiful house.

We had a fantastic stay at Gil's place!.... The house was exactly as pictured, location was perfect and the view at night is priceless.... We would definitely recommend this Airbnb and would love to stay here again.

amazing place with beautiful views including toucans in the mornings and monkeys right down the street! very spacious and i honestly felt right at home. the host helped me by getting a birthday cake for one of my guests and helped us get home when the road was closed. they were a saving grace and made our stay worth it. thank you guys for everything!

Great space, wonderful views and the grounds were beautiful with all the flowers. Really enjoyed the hot tub and the beds were nice and cozy. Stopped there as a half way point to the Caribbean coast. Was a tad difficult finding, but it was in the dark and once we got to Aquarius and looked at the pictures we got there no problem. Host was responsive. Thank you for sharing your wonderful house.

Thank you for your attention. The place was perfect for my family, we had a great time.

Moonshine Inn was great! It was comfortable and quiet, and the pool was nice! It was convenient to all of the attractions in Manuel Antonio. Nothing was more than a few minutes’ drive away. Martin and Lorena were excellent hosts. They provided lots of great local information, helped book tours, and even arranged to deliver an item my daughter left. We had a great trip. Don’t miss the guided nature walk. It was phenomenal, and we saw so many animals! Enjoy!

A absolute privilege to spend a few days here as a family. A gem of a house that felt immediately like a home. We loved the quirks and the passion for enjoyment. Top of our price range but to us it was worth every penny. Thank you Tucker.

This is my 3rd visit. It was convenient to be able to walk to the plaza across from the accommodation, the house was neat and tidy, and the host's active and quick communication stood out. I would like to express my gratitude to him for being so kind and grateful, and I will visit again in September! See you soon!

Hosts respond quickly if needed. They are available and welcoming. Close to everything (on foot). I enjoyed the yoga classes with Caroline. Thank you so much for your warm welcome and for helping us have a wonderful vacation! Pura Vida! 🩵💛🧡💚

I absolutely loved my stay at this apartment! The location is good, with easy access to the beach and restaurants. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated, clean, and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We really liked the place, very easy to get to, both Julie and her dad treated us very well and helped us when we had a problem, and we appreciate that they let us take our little dogs who are part of the family for us. We visited the boutique café that is right there and we also loved it, highly recommended

If you're looking for an immersive experience in nature without straying too far from comfort, this is the place to be. Although it is only a few meters from the road and next to a supermarket, once inside the property you feel surrounded by vegetation, with views of plants and trees, as shown in the photos. It is important to note that there are no conventional windows, but rather mosquito nets or screens, allowing a more direct connection with the environment. The experience of disconnecting is very pleasant and the fan in the room was a great help, as the heat and humidity can be intense. A nice touch is that different types of birds visit the Airbnb in the mornings, making the stay even more special. In addition, the accommodation has parking, which is a plus. Overall, an excellent choice for those seeking authentic contact with nature without sacrificing comfort

Would rent here again without hesitation! The location is great. We loved being close to town and things to do but still having all the jungle vibes! We saw lots of monkeys right in the back yard! Alex and Glen were both very friendly. We also did the mangrove Kayak tour with Alex & Goldie (his pup)! Would highly recommend that tour! Overall we really enjoyed our stay here!

A wonderful place with a lot of peace

The homes were spotless. Very clean and well equipped. It's beautiful instead. You see birds and in the afternoon in the farthest se son monitos. The only negative thing I could say is that the place is a bit alone and that there is not like a mesh that privatizes the entrance to the house, but in reality I totally recommend it. Don Carlos and his family, who help in the house are also very friendly

Amazing place, you’ll have everything you need. Johann and family are kind and very helpful would recommend to everyone 5 star

nice place, they were flexible. i recommend it.

Peter and Rosa’s home is a little slice of paradise. I wanted a jungle house, and this one delivered. We saw many beautiful birds and iguanas, and our children adored the pool. The small neighborhood was safe and secure, and the torn of Dominical was colorful and friendly. Amazing experience.

We loved Gretel’s place - it was a beautiful spot and we felt right at home. It has a fantastic kitchen, a spacious living area, nice bedrooms and a great porch. The pool was really refreshing and was a nice escape from the afternoon heat. We also got to see some amazing wildlife close up - we were visited by some squirrel monkeys, a howler monkey, a toucan and a pair of Scarlett Macaws. It is in close proximity to Manuel Antonio National Park and a bunch of other excursions and near many great local restaurants. I highly recommend.

The place was great. Hazel was great fully stocked kitchen. Everything worked well. I will definitely say again.

Great location and views. Everything was as described. Quick access to everything in Manuel Antonio. The driveway is quite steep and it took me a few tries to navigate it with my 10 passenger van rental. After the first day it was fine. Host was very responsive. Awesome bathrooms and decent bedrooms.

We absolutely loved staying here. Everything was magical and sitting outside was relaxing. We saw so many animals while staying there and the kids loved the pool! We had a grocery store and Soda walking distance away. Antonio was a gem. He did not speak English but he made sure everything was pristine. He is a true gem and willing to help direct parking and open the gate for us Some tips to help others….everything here is similar to the states. No suicide showers and lots of power plugs. Really the only issue we had is the upper bedrooms were too light and it gets bright early. Wasn’t a huge problem for us because we got up early to do activities while it was cool. We loved our stay! This place has ALL of the Pura Vida vibes.

The house is beautiful. The pool was amazing. The location was very private. We didn’t use our four wheel drive, but you definitely need high clearance. You have to remember you’re in the middle of the jungle, big bugs, geckos, iguanas, bats & lots of different noises. The views are stunning. I felt very safe. I would rent this house again.

The house is large and all rooms are spacious. The gated community is very secure and feels safe. The Bejuco beach area also is quiet and safe. One of the nicest beaches we have we have enjoyed! And only a 400 meter walk from the house. The backyard pool is the perfect way to cool down after some time on the beach.
