Beachfront holiday rentals in Carmen Beach

Our family really enjoyed this home - especially seeing the monkeys, having great swings for our daughter to play on, and an amazing rooftop view!! When the pool pump was not working properly, Rafal was there very quickly to fix the timer and was very personable. When in this area, we would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for one 1 month at Joe's place and what can I say, it was awesome. Joe himself is very kind, responsive and super chilled. He even made food for us and invited us to hang out with his friends and come to party. The hospitality was incredible. The place itself was beautiful. It is the middle of the jungle, surrounded by fruit trees, palm trees and cool animals. Very private as well. In the middle is a pool and a community place where people come together and hang out. I loved the kitchen at our house, the big fridge, the balcony and everything else. I also had a special request about synthetic fragrances where Joe made sure they avoid it before I come and I’m really thankful for that. The beach is right in front of the house, a little grocery store 5min walk and Santa Teresa is like 5min by car. The people in Costa Rica are also very friendly and kind. I can highly recommend staying at Joe's place. Thank you Joe!!

We loved staying with my friends here, it's an incredible space with all the comforts to enjoy our stay in Santa Teresa. The place is just like the description and the photos. What we liked most was the shared outdoor space and that the path to the beach is right in front! Nahuel was very kind to welcome us, give us local recommendations and always be attentive to our needs. We would really come back and recommend the place!!

As everyone says it's hard to describe. If you are looking for a convenient, sterile, cookie cutter hotel, this may not be for you. But if you want to emerse yourself in nature and environment, this is a total paradise. Joachim went above and beyond to attend to our needs

My fiancé and I had such an incredible time at OPAM Camper that we extended from 4 weeks to 6. Pamela was a great host - anything we needed, she had. She also just seems like a genuine and fun person. I’m almost sad we didn’t see her more (said no Airbnb guest ever). The camper is so unique. We saw white-faced monkeys, howler monkeys, iguanas, geckos, tree frogs, parrots, bats - even had a horse pop by a couple times. The neighing, jungle sounds, and ocean whoosh are unreal. Neighbours were great, quiet - it’s pretty secluded (which I wasn’t sure about when I booked). I was also nervous working remotely here - but the wifi was excellent, and the A/C gets cold when you need it. Being forced to eat alfresco brought us closer together. Just hits different than at home. One ask: give some love to the two collarless dogs from down the hill. We called them Trooper and Poncho but found out they’re Melon and Tomatoe. Sweetest duo, anxious in storms. They stole our hearts. 10/10 stay

This home is a must to stay at, Its beautiful. We enjoyed the beach it is walkable, you’re in great location in town so you get to enjoy the local restaurants. The host Rocio was exceptional, she recommended a wonderful ATV tour to the waterfalls, so amazing. We even forgot something upon check out and it was mailed.

Peaceful , beautiful, well organized place. Walking distance to markets, beach, and Santa Teresa town . The her and junior are amazing hostess

Great place. Tucked away but still close enough to walk to most places you'd want to see

Perfect stay. House was clean, lovely Noëli came every day for cleaning. Location ist perfect for Surfing. Nice Restaurants and a small Supermarkt in walking distance. Thank you. We totally enjoyed being here.

It's a highly recommended place. The location is perfect! It's super close to the beach and right on the main street of Santa Teresa, so there are supermarkets, bars, and restaurants nearby. Also, the room has a stove and cooking utensils, which was very helpful for us. It also has parking for cars. The A/C is a plus, and we were able to enjoy hot water in the shower. And you can use the hotel pool, which is very nice! Also Andrea was friendly with tips for taking the Ferry.

Words cannot describe Gabby’s house, it was AMAZING! For prior vacations, we have stayed in houses in Playa Carrillo, Samara, and Quepos and Casa Del Sol by-far tops ALL of those houses. From the million dollar view, to the quality of the build/house, to the AWESOME DECOR, to the on-site hosts (Henry and Zeidy), ALL of it was top notch! When you’re in the backyard/in the pool, of course you feel like you’re at the beach, but that continues inside with all of the homey beach house decor! And did I mention the AC??? Ice cold, perfect for coming in from a long day fishing or beach! Next mention is Henry and Zeidy, UNBELIEVABLY welcoming and attentive, yet they know how to respect privacy. If you’ve never stayed at a house with daily cleaning, it’s a GAME CHANGER. Any issue or request, taken care of immediately. And not to mention Zeidy’s cooking! We had 3 lunches and 2 dinners prepared by Zeidy, simply delicious! We are even talking about booking again during the dry season!

We loved staying at firefly! Perfectly private and easily accessible to restaurants/night life! Hosts were incredible. We would happily stay again!

Hands down the most beautiful place we've visited. Our kids (6 &3) basically lived in the pool/bay for the 10 days we were there. We were the only unit rented out of the 8 houses, so we had the whole pool area to ourselves (and the beach most days too!). Our favorite part had to be the wildlife: howler monkeys in the trees right outside the house, countless scarlet macaws flying overhead, manta rays surfing the waves in the bay, and iguanas galore. Jeannette and Bas were wonderful communicators and so helpful with local recommendations. The setting is so beautiful that we didn't eat out once, just made food in the incredibly well stocked kitchen and ate outside with the view. Some helpful tips: 1) bring sleep masks. The curtains don't block much light and the sun rises at 5:30am making early mornings for kids! 2) It took us 7 hours each way from San Jose (traffic, ferry wait, ferry ride, etc.) so it's a commitment to visit. But oh, so worth it! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Ramona is the most outstanding host I have ever encountered while using Airbnb. This trip was to celebrate a birthday and our stay was nothing short of perfect. Ramona was so responsive and checked in on us via chat throughout the stay to ensure we had a very smooth stay. Her home is just breathtaking and her assistance with getting my itinerary together which included a private chef, transportation, and excursions in such a short timeframe, I was speechless!! I cannot stop telling my friends about my experience and am already planning a trip back in 2026! Thank you so much for the unforgettable experience Ramona!

We loved our stay at Christy's villa. The communication was great from beginning to end. She had some great recommendations on what to do and people we could use for tours. The villa was clean, it had a lovely pool, good internet connection, and has everything you need if you are cooking your own meals. The neighborhood grocery store was a little pricey, but convenient and had a great selection of items. The villa is in a gated community and felt very safe. The restaurant on site has good food and it's fun. I would recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful stay at Villas Santa Teresa. Tomas, Alan, Joanna and Javier were always very helpful with anything we needed. Javier helped with our flat tire which was very much appreciated! They made reservations at a beautiful restaurant for us to celebrate a milestone birthday, which was an amazing evening:) Its a perfect peaceful location, a little outside of town but close enough to everything we needed. A 2 minute walk to the most beautiful beach, where we spent hours walking and exploring. A 10 minute drive to town to get groceries. We had an SUV which worked for us but an ATV/motorbike would have possibly been better. The villa was so clean and comfortable, had everything we needed and the hammocks were magical!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at Emily’s Airbnb in Costa Rica! The property was incredibly peaceful, offering a serene escape surrounded by lush greenery and stunning views. One of the highlights was the abundance of wildlife—we saw tons of animals, including monkeys swinging through the trees and iguanas basking in the sun, which made our stay feel like a true nature retreat. The layout of the house was perfect for our group. With the bedrooms thoughtfully placed in separate areas, we enjoyed privacy, while the central common area provided a great space for gathering and relaxing. The open design with large windows and doors seamlessly connected the indoor space with the beautiful outdoor deck and pool, enhancing the overall ambiance. The location was a major plus as well. It was close to lots of great restaurants and a variety of exciting activities, making it easy to explore the local area while returning to this tranquil haven. Emily was an amazing host, ensurin

Exc lugar, todo a walking distance 🫶

This was a great stay for two. Needs to note that you have to say a full week for cleaning services but still accommodate us very well will definitely be back

The place is charming, it has everything, a pleasant homely atmosphere. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bathroom and shower are pleasant. The location is really central but quiet and close to the beach and restaurants and shops. The hostess was amazing and helped us with everything we needed immediately and happily. We had a great time! Recommend 😊

Lovely stay at Isabella's place. We will come back for sure! Thanks Isabella! So sad we couldn't say bye.

April’s place is amazing!! The ocean and sunset views from her place are simply spectacular! Falling asleep to the sound of the distant waves was such a treat. The place was very clean and well stocked with anything you could ever possibly need. The private infinity pool with stunning ocean views and comfortable day beds was heaven on earth! It felt like an oasis. It was also a nice surprise to have the fridge stocked with fresh fruit! April was always very helpful and made us feel welcome. We were sad to leave and look forward to visiting again! Thank you April! 🙏🙏

Great stay, not far from the beach, big and spacious studio :)

Had a great time here! Host were responsive and helpful in setting up cleaners, would absolutely stay again!
