Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Barranca

We kicked off our honeymoon in Costa Rica at Axel's place for 4-nights. When we arrived, it was the evening so it was dark out. The following morning we were totally blown away by the beauty of this lovely farm! Gorgeous green trees, flowers, monsteras, & mountains are surrounding you. The view is spectacular (even when it is raining or cloudy). The house has hammocks to relax in, a kitchen equipped with everything you need to make a delicious meal, a very comfy bed, and views to die for! Toucan-spotting over coffee in the morning was a highlight. Axel was not only a great host but a lovely person to chat with! If you are looking for a more remote Costa Rican experience, this is the place for you. Highly recommend and are definitely planning to come back to this wonderful place! Thanks again Axel!!

The gardens were a wonderfully peaceful respite. It was like taking a vacation while on vacation. The room was great, as described, and even had a dehumidifier available. The property is away from the city (we were able to Uber in and out of the city without too much issue - just a delay in finding a driver one night. We loved exploring and having our morning coffee in the gardens. We didn’t meet Phil, and we weren’t able to get a gate opener for our stay, but it worked out OK with two of us (one to drive the car and the other to get out and operate the gate).

Absurdly beautiful place, with incredible views. We loved it!

Chris is the Man! For context, my girlfriend and I had another bnb in the area that lost power and water for 2 days! I had to book an emergency stay and Chris accommodated and responded swiftly even though it was very short notice. We fell more in love with his property than our original one lol. 10/10 stay loved the vibezz.

🌟 5/5 — Minimalist Beach Bliss! We absolutely loved our stay at Spencer's place! The space was a breath of fresh air — clean lines, calming tones, and that minimalist design that somehow makes you feel instantly relaxed. With a family of 5, space and functionality matter, and this spot delivered both. Best part? We were just a short stroll to the beach — close enough for spontaneous swims and sunset walks. 🏖️🌅 Spencer was an all-star host — super responsive, friendly, and made sure everything was smooth from start to finish. We felt well taken care of. If you're looking for a stylish, serene, and beach-adjacent getaway, book this gem! ✨

Great place! Just like the photos. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all the amenities. The shower water was cold but I have gotten used to that in travelling that not every place has the warmest shower water but definitely not a big deal! Everything else worked great, love the private big gate to make the property feel tucked away and private. You can hear running water in the creek or river that's down below which is lovely to listen to. We didn't get a chance to walk down. I love C.R. and plan to be back and would 100% stay here again.

Excellent place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city. Highly recommended 10/10 The canton of Dota is too beautiful

Super nice and quiet place. The dogs had a blast!

We had the loveliest time at this beachfront house. The pool is gorgeous - not too warm or cold. It was so refreshing to relax in the pool and stare at the waves. The house is in the best part of Esterillos, right in front of the “mermaid” and the tide pools. The house is well designed and makes use of all the spaces. It was clean and well equipped. You can also walk to the nearby store and there are a few good restaurants just a block or two away walking along the beach. It was an amazing place to share with family, we will be back!

Great place for a large family or group. Clean and spacious. Pool was awesome, especially at night with the lights. Neighborhood was quiet and private. House had plenty of beds as advertised and had AC to keep things very comfortable. Overall great stay!

The property was unbelievable. The house, the pool, the views… wow! The kids literally lived in the pool. The area itself is off the beaten track in the best possible way—surrounded by lush, untouched rainforest with scarlet macaws flying overhead daily. You’re a short drive from the ocean and crocodile tours on the Tárcoles River, yet far removed from the crowds. It felt like we were seeing the real Costa Rica. There are some great, low-key food spots nearby, and the overall vibe was so much more authentic and grounded than the overly touristy feel we got in Monteverde. One of the highlights was the intimate dinner prepared by Cecelia—homemade, delicious, and shared like you were part of the family. This place and these hosts made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. We’re already talking about coming back

Great location, a short walk from the beach. Spacious bedrooms and living area. Maud is a very considerate and accommodating host.

We enjoyed this beautiful, clean, home.

Amazing, very responsive! Easy for overnight before headed to airport

Great place, the pool was awesome. Lots of wildlife in the neighborhood. Local restaurant was great and store on site had all what we needed.

Thanks so much for having us! We thoroughly enjoyed the visit, and the location was perfect for our short weekend getaway with friends.

The incredible place, very clean, beautiful, the people who take care of it very friendly everything was excellent. We would gladly return.

Great place. Great views. We will definetely come back. Loved being there.

I have been to many Airbnb's around the world and there have been a handful that make me feel like heaven on earth. This is absolutely one of those places. The view is ASTOUNDING!! The home itself is so cool. The owners seem absolutely lovely as we got to meet them in person as they help you check in. The details they accounted for are impeccable. I would live here forever if I could. If you stay here, you will NOT be dissapointed. Sooo much to do in and around Jaco as well which is a relatively quick drive down the mountain. Rqncho Shadday, the restaurant very nearby this place is so nice as well. My family and I loved every single second of our stay here. Please also know the work they would have had to put into this place is immense to create the dreamy space they have. Absolutely loved the stay so very much!!! 20 out of 10 stay!!!

We stayed for two weeks and felt sad to leave. Yuliana and her parents were great hosts, always responsive and helpful, recommending places to eat and visit and the occasional gift. Throw into that their dogs who asked for little more than a belly rub for their friendship. The cottage itself was as described. Large screened windows kept the place aired and let the sounds of nature flood in. The lack of aircon meant it was often hot especially upstairs and in the afternoon but what you get in return is a deeper connection to your surroundings. This included visits from capuchin and howler monkeys, birds, bats, toads and countless butterflies, and a diverse range of insects. The screens are pretty good at keeping the latter outside, and you can close the windows. Wi-Fi is decent and other amenities as described. With the heat we didn’t cook much but the option was there. We’d 100% return for the hospitality, the closeness to nature and the dogs.

Javier is a great host, he’s really sweet and even greeted us when we arrived. He let us park our car in his yard and so we knew it was safe for the night. The accommodation is super clean and comfortable. Great stay.

Always a pleasure to stay at this place.

We only stayed one night and really enjoyed our stay. The property was spotless and the instructions were very clear. Ana was easy to communicate with and we had everything we needed. It was the first time I had seen so many avocados growing on trees. The setting was peaceful, the air conditioning was nice, and the black out shades were a plus! The best part was the delicious breakfast!! Thank you Ana!!!

Awesome place, peaceful with a great view of the city.
