Spectacular house with fireplace, jacuzzi and BBQ.
My friend and I really appreciated Ana Maria's hospitality and her family's gorgeous home. We loved the special personal touches including the jungle of house plants and well-stocked library with board games and books. Having the fireplace stocked with wood made it possible to have the perfect ambiance for reading in front of the fire on a misty afternoon! We found it helpful to have earplugs at night, as the home is close to a transit road, and earplugs did the trick to help us sleep soundly.

Moonshine Inn - 1BR loft
Really beautiful place to stay and so easy to get to. Martin and Lorena were both really great. Would love to come back and stay here again. Kids both loved the pool.

Villa Aragon-Private Villa AC. Beach Access + Pool
We loved our stay and felt right at home from beginning to end. Great communication skills and an awesome place to have spent my birthday with friends.

Lakefront 3 bedroom Villa with heated pool&hot tub
Casa Blanca was absolutely stunning! The views were great, the house was pristine, and the staff were incredible. There was always someone there to help and they were always ready to respond to our messages and help. We can’t speak more highly of our time there. They gave us great recommendations, and helped us arrange rides to and from our dock.

VILLA PURA VIDA / FULLY EQUIPPED + PRIVATE JACUZZI
This place is excellent and I would recommend it in a heart beat. It looks just like the pictures, it is super private and has an excellent location, walking distance to several restaurants and close to grocery shops. The instructions provided to access the place are very clear and everything was so clean and neat.

S3-West Bay 2 Bedroom Apt-2 min walk to the beach!
Very nice place , I love spacious bedrooms, the balcony; it it’s a lovely property

Hanging Rustic Cabin with AC and Jacuzzi #2
Hands down the best place to stay in La Fortuna. David was very responsive and got me checked in right when I arrived. The cabin is GORGEOUS. It feels like it’s in the middle of the rain forest. The inside of the cabin was the cleanest Airbnb I may have ever stayed at. Truly spotless and didn’t have bugs which I have found to be impossible in Costa Rica. The bed was so comfortable and the view from the kitchen made me so happy in the morning. It even has a little patio area underneath the cabin. Wish I could have stayed longer!! I’d recommend staying here over staying at a fancy hotel. You feel immersed in Costa Rican nature while still feeling very comfortable. Honestly this place felt like a nice hotel but way better. It’s worth it.

#15 Stylish Rustic Studio XL & Outdoor Jacuzzi
Would highly recommend! The space is so cozy and inviting. Close walking distance to many restaurants and shops. We felt at home 🥰

Like nothing else in Puerto Viejo!
Excellent place to stay. Over the bakery which was convenient for breakfast. A little noisy on the main road but really didn’t affect sleep. Walkable to the beach and restaurants, The hanging chair was missing from the balcony but the host replaced it during our time. Tom was very responsive and helpful. They held our bags early and after checkout.

Tropical Oasis 5 min to SJO airport W/ cozy deck
Beautiful landscape. Wish we could have stayed more than one night. Home was great and close to the airport. Great way to welcome us to Costa Rica

Beautiful Ocean View Villa in Costa Rica
The house exceeded our expectations. The views from every room were incredible. The outside area and pool were amazing. Close drive to excursions and other beaches. The restaurant on site was delicious and the mini super was very convenient. Our only regret is we didn’t spend our entire trip at Raj’s place. We cannot wait to come back!!!

VILLA GUANACASTE BOUTIQUE LUXURY VILLA W/POOL /AC
Amazing stay in Santa Teresa made even better with Sami’s concierge! Emilio (concierge) was INCREDIBLE and the daily cleaning crew. Responded daily to all of my questions and inquiries about the home. Provided great recommendations and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. The house was great, just what we needed. The pool, outdoor areas, kitchen, and bedrooms were all my favorites. Highly recommended!

Luxury Studio 1212 at Urbn Escalante
It was a pleasant stay, the apartment is quite complete and has everything the ad says

Stunning Oceanview 4-Bedroom Villa
Awesome property with a spectacular view. Photos don’t do it justice. Preston was a great host who was very responsive and offered great insight to the area. We will definitely return again. The house and grounds exceeded everyone’s expectations. The villa is very large with plenty of room for 7 adults.

The Sunset | Beachfront Villa
Edgar is by far the friendliest host we've ever dealt with. He's the very definition of hands on, responsive and helpful. He instantly dealt with any request, and bend over backwards to ensure we had a 5 Star experience at his beautiful beach home. His recommendations for local restaurants, experiences, and destinations were equally as helpful and appreciated. The house is every bit as gorgeous as the pictures, and the indoor/outdoor lifestyle was clearly explained in the description and during follow up messages with Edgar. As long as you fully understand the living space is open to the elements, you'll not be disappointed. Lastly, when my family was returning from a day trip to Monteverde Cloud Forest, we got caught up in a major road closure. It was a multi-hour delay that was a bit stressful given the very young children in our family group. Edgar spent much of his personal time attempting to help us find an alternative route home. Can't say enough about our wonderful stay!

Pacific Sunsets at Villa Bali
Our stay at Steven’s place was incredible. The place looks just as listed and is every bit as stunning. Steven was a very responsive host and was insightful about the area. The roads near the house are a little rough but totally worth it. I would highly recommend staying here.

Casa Mamaluma, Private Oceanview retreat
Absolutely magical, thank you for sharing this incredible Gem. Extremely Private and stunning views, much better than the photos. Host was extremely helpful and responsive thank you for all the details. Eduin was the best thank you !

Private Beach Front Villa
We had such a lovely time staying at Casa De Celeste. The property was absolutely gorgeous and in close proximity to town and adventures. It was the perfect getaway before our wedding. The caretaker Vincente was so kind and very helpful. He truly made the place feel like home. We will return and are looking forward to that day. I highly recommend this property.

Private Jungle Palace with Designer Pool
This was the absolute perfect home base to explore this part of Costa Rica. The house was stunning, exactly like photos and descriptions. Pool area was an unbeatable oasis and we did get lots of monkey visits! Comfortable beds, amazing bathrooms with great water temp and pressure, stocked kitchen and awesome patio space for meals and hangouts. Corner store literally at the end of our driveway was so convenient. Laura the concierge was amazing, so responsive, helpful friendly! I couldn’t be happier with the experience and will be recommending Matthew’s place to anyone I know visiting the area. I would absolutely stay here again and hope I’m able to return soon!

Casa Luna FULL HOUSE
We had the best stay at Val and Oscar’s home. Our group had 1 family in the upstairs apartment and the other family in the downstairs apartment, and it was such a great arrangement for our group. The apartments were both beautiful and comfortable, and we absolutely loved the outdoor space. The kids loved the pool and we layed out in the hammocks and watched scarlet macaws fly by. We would love to come back again someday. Highly recommend!

A little piece of paradise, a hidden gem. 2 guests.
Vera was recommended to us by our relocation team, whom we have hired to help us move. She has been in Costa Rica a long time and gave us some incredible advice and went out of her way to make us feel right at home 🏡

Casa Palmas-Unique 3Bdr Beachfront Villa with pool
We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home in Tamarindo! It was perfect for our two families (7 people total, including 3 kids ages 5–8). The house was spacious, well-stocked, and felt very safe and comfortable for both adults and children. The location couldn’t have been better—just steps from the beach and with a fantastic pool that we used every day. The host was outstanding, providing great local recommendations and even helping us arrange airport shuttles and excursions. Everything was seamless from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back!

The jungle Luxury -Villa cimatella I
Unbelievable place to stay. The space, the views, the pool, all amazing. You will be confronted with critters and will definitely need 4 wheel drive but outside of that there is no other considerations. This is the nicest place I've ever been

Exclusive Tuscan Mansion in CR
We had a fantastic time staying at this mansion. The place was absolutely beautiful—spacious, clean, and incredibly well-equipped with everything we needed. The amenities were top-notch and made our stay super comfortable. Communication with Federico was excellent; he was always responsive and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend! Thank you !!
