House holiday rentals in Costa Rica

Our week stay in June was one of the best experiences ever in a STR. You GetHere property managers met us at the property, showed us how to use the amenities and were responsive to any questions. The home is beyond comparison. A rough drive up ( typical for CR) but after the first few times it is easy. Quality and cleanliness of the home was unmatched. We will be back. We used the suggested massage service and had them set up on the Zen deck. Very good deep tissue massage by professionals. We saw many of the other rentals we looked at and were glad that we picked this home.

This is such a beautiful, comfortable, and clean home with wonderful views. We spent 6 nights exploring Atenas, and this home is convenient to town and several other attractions. The hostess has a book for guests with great suggestions for what to do and see while in Atenas.

Barbara and John were literally the kindest people in Costa Rica you could stay with. Our toddler, the biggest food critic of them all loved every food recommendation we received. He danced to the music in restaurants and was welcomed with love by locals. The home is so private, relaxing, beautifully decorated, everyone in our family felt at home here. We cooked in the kitchen and found it fully equipped and easy to cook for a group. We loved watching monkeys swaying on neighboring trees and birds singing each morning near the large deck. We slept so peacefully in their comfortable large beds every night and the space was quite large so our kiddo got to get his wiggles out. Their pool was the perfect temperature everyday and large enough you could do laps. John provided such a throughout and very legit surf lesson. Overall we LOVED this home and it was well worth the journey into this cool little surf town. - Christina

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.

Hermosa casa,limpia y ordenada . Sin duda volveremos.

Natacha was great and amazing with us !! She communicated well with us and helped us arrange anything we wanted to do or looking for. If we needed information about anything she was always accommodating us. She did not come back with just one recommendation but several. Always checking in on how we were doing, and if everything was OK, or if we needed anything. La Casa Del Mango was very clean and well organized. The amenities, awesome, well stocked with everything you would need. This whole place is amazing. Oh !! did I mention the pool, amazing. Oh !! did I mention Martin (Natacha husband) super nice, also amazing, Oh !! did I mention the wildlife, amazing. I can keep on going, and going, about La Casa Del Mango in a positive direction but I will end this review with saying that La casa definitely deserves 5 stars out of 5. Nope !!!! no negatives from our family vacation, would recommend to anyone.

Marlen was a great host! she was always responsive and quick. when we arrived she took us on a tour of the property. The place was nice and peaceful. we even got greeted by the neighbors puppy!

Very clear instructions on where to go and how to get into the house when you arrive. Easy checking in and checking out. Location is beautiful! VERY short drive to a lot of restaurants and a large supermarket. We bought groceries and cooked breakfast most mornings and a couple of dinners. There was plenty of kitchenware, a great stove, and an outdoor grill that made cooking easy. The one thing to note if you are from the USA, is that this is a Costa Rican style home. There is no air conditioning in the kitchen, and no indoor living room. Sitting spaces are outside with no climate control. The bedrooms are spread out, and the only access to most bedrooms is from the exterior balcony or patio. All bedrooms had their own air-conditioning units and were very comfortable to sleep in at night. The neighborhood is very quiet and the property is gated. We felt completely safe staying there with seven kids in our group. If we’re ever in the area again we would definitely stay again!!!

Thank you to the hosts for creating a true paradise, this stay went above and beyond anything I had envisioned. My daughter and I felt at home the moment we arrived. The view of the ocean absolutely blew us away, and the peaceful jungle setting made it even more magical. We felt completely safe and private the entire time, which let us fully relax and enjoy every moment. This was more than a vacation rental, it felt like a retreat. We’ll never forget it. And one last thing, we HIGHLY recommend the tiramisu from Potz Bistro just down the road.

Perfection. Absolute perfection. The other reviews are spot on. Just book it already. The views can’t be beat and no picture can do it justice. Everywhere you look it is beautiful and magical: the jungle sounds, the sunsets, the amazing flora and fauna, the details and thoughtful touches. It is so perfect it is almost overwhelming. Every day, I couldn’t believe I was there. And the hosts! They are amazing! They are genuinely kind and generous, not that fake used car salesman nice. They are the real deal. Anything they recommend, just do it. Use their concierge service and do everything! You can’t go wrong. We would have stayed longer and plan to go back soon.

This place was incredible! Finding the house was a breeze due to Chris’s instructions. We were able to find it without any issues even in the dark. The house itself was the perfect size, had everything we needed, was clean, and had a beautiful atmosphere. There’s no AC but it honestly wasn’t an issue at all, there are plenty of fans to keep cool and the windows can be opened for fresh air. We also really enjoyed the outdoor setting, we spent a good amount of time on the back deck and in the pool. There was some cool wildlife to see around the house too! I have absolutely nothing poor to say about this place and would highly recommend!! Chris was very responsive and helped with any questions/concerns we had. If we were to ever travel back to Costa Rica, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back to this place!

Truly a stunning home in a very quiet, upscale cul-de-sac community. Views were breathtaking, and the home well-equipped for lazy days without big agendas. Dominical is cute and inviting, with plenty to eat and a solid infrastructure for booking adventures of multiple varieties. Sensitive travelers might want to be advised that power and water outages are part of the realities of living in such a gorgeous, remote location. Mattresses are quite firm, with the loft bed probably best suited to a child or other floor-friendly individual. Kitchen was not particularly well-appointed, so bring oil/butter and perhaps even a favorite chef's knife if you plan to cook in. Local farmer's markets do make this an appealing option, although local restaurants were generally quite decent, even coming from NYC. Above all, this is a truly impressive holiday experience, mainly for the incredible views from all floors and the abundance of wildlife right in your own back-yard. Highly recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Fantastic, home,host,town,views,wildlife sightings, hands down one of the best locations we’ve ever stayed. Secluded but still plenty to do. Book this- you will not be disappointed. Enjoyed the adventure, and we highly recommend. Pictures are great but everything is even better in person. The house has everything you need! Plus more! -Pura Vida

Brandon’s place is absolutely amazing. The house is beautiful and the view is stunning. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay near La Fortuna!

My first time to this part of Costa Rica. Second time to the country. I was looking for an adventure and also relaxation. I found both here. Jen has a magical place here in Malpais. The directions, the suggestions of places to go. I loved every minute of my stay. The story is in the details and there are many to be discovered.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful casita! It was so cozy and the architecture is beautiful! Bedding was comfortable and the shower ( only outdoor showers available) had great water pressure and got hot, very hot. We stayed with pets and they were very comfortable here as well with the yard space. Monkey’s visited one morning and they were so close we sat and watched them eat limes off the trees. Magdalena was very helpful in getting us checked in early and leaving our baggage at the house prior to check in to help with our situation. Overall enjoyed the stay and hospitality of the hosts

This is the most relaxed I have been in years. I’d stay a year if I could afford it. The sounds of nature just make it so easy to drift off to a nice sleep. The outside kitchen was not difficult to work with. Everything I needed was literally right there. The pool is perfect for relaxing in and is private. While I have a child, it was particularly nice to have a kid free atmosphere where you can just relax. There are so many things to do near by and Jim and his wife are lovely. Luna, the pup, is an absolute joy. I already miss it and can’t wait to come back! Thank you for your hospitality and the relaxing weekend. 🫶🏽

This home was beautiful, and the view unmatched! Oscar was so responsive and helpful with our very many requests. He gave local recommendations and booked anything we needed, even on short notice. It felt like our home away from home. We would definitely stay at this house again when we are back in town.

The Casa Vera Vista was a beautiful villa on the cliff side over looking the bay with the most beautiful sunsets. The villa was close to the beach and great restaurants plus a good starting point for many excursions. The concierge team was always there when we needed them throughout the entire trip as well as with planning prior to arriving. The house was very clean, decorated very tastefully and had comfortable beds. The daily cleaning service was very helpful with three kiddos in tow. We had two dinners and breakfast with the recommended chefs and they exceeded our expectations, with both delicious food and friendly company. Our driver Raudy was always on time, professional and was very helpful in getting around with our busy itinerary. We definitely did a lot on our trip (zip lining, deep sea fishing, ATVs, snorkeling, rainforest, waterfalls, hot springs etc) and staying at the villa with the concierge service made it that much more special. Lots of wild at the house too! Pura Vida

Absolutely perfect for our girls’ trip! Villa Koa was everything we hoped for and more. The house is spacious, beautifully laid out, and the beds were super comfy. The backyard and views were absolutely stunning—perfect for relaxing and catching up. Just a heads-up: the villa is nestled in the mountains/jungle, so bugs are part of the experience—but nothing unexpected for the setting and totally manageable. You’ll definitely need a 4x4 with high clearance (we had a Suzuki Jimny and it handled the road great). The house is not walkable to town or restaurants, so having a car is a must. Special shoutout to Sophie, the concierge—she was amazing! She gave us fantastic local recommendations and helped plan some great outings. We had a brief issue with the hot water, but concierge responded immediately and maintenance got it sorted right away. Already planning our return next year—can’t wait!

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away! The place was exactly as pictured—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and filled with thoughtful touches that made it feel like home (but better!). The host was incredibly responsive and kind, offering local tips and going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.

Unser Aufenthalt in der Villa in Puerto Viejo war einfach unvergesslich! Die Unterkunft liegt eingebettet im tropischen Grünen und bietet absolute Ruhe und Privatsphäre – ideal, um dem Alltag zu entfliehen und in die entspannte Atmosphäre der Karibikküste einzutauchen. Die Villa selbst war geräumig, sehr sauber und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Besonders beeindruckt waren wir vom Außenbereich mit Pool und Hängematten – ein perfekter Ort, um zu entspannen und die Natur zu genießen. Jeden Morgen wurden wir vom Zwitschern der Vögel und gelegentlichen Brüllaffen geweckt – ein echtes Naturerlebnis! Die Lage ist ebenfalls top: nur wenige Minuten mit dem Fahrrad oder Auto ins Zentrum von Puerto Viejo und zu wunderschönen Stränden wie Playa Cocles oder Punta Uva. Trotz der Nähe zu allem fühlt man sich hier wie in einer ruhigen Oase. Der Gastgeber war super freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer erreichbar, falls wir Fragen hatten oder Tipps brauchten. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen

Casa Azul was an absolute gem. The villa is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly positioned with a breathtaking view overlooking the water and scenery. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the property was unforgettable. The home is well-maintained and designed for total relaxation—everything about it felt serene and welcoming. If you’re looking for a scenic, tranquil getaway, Casa Azul is the perfect choice.

I just want to start off and say that this is the best house that I’ve ever booked a vacation at the people that owned The house are literally amazing and so helpful. The location is so beautiful. Everything is so clean and organized. The air conditioner works amazing Too with the heat they literally booked all of our excursions and picked us up from the house Was always so patient with us and literally made our trip so amazing I will definitely come back worth every penny I had the best birthday ever and the views and the pool was so amazing 100000/10 recommend this house to anyone looking To come to Costa Rica !!!!😍
