Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Costa Rica

Axel’s Samara home is nothing short of amazing! After a super long day of travel I was speechless walking through the door - it is even better than the pictures. This property is a great way to experience a smaller coastal Costa Rica town while still feeling like you are living in luxury. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

This house is lovely and the view is gorgeous. We spent much of our time on the porch enjoying the pool, hot tub and view. I highly recommend some time relaxing at the house. Fabian was very helpful in planning excursions. The beds were so comfortable and there was plenty of hot water! We also were grateful for enough seating for everyone in our party both outside and in the living room. We did have a 1 year old with us and that was challenging in the layout of the house but we made it work. Highly recommend this house and this area. So much to do! Do the daytime Mangrove tour and guided MA park tour. Pura Vida!

This was our second time staying at this beautiful home and we actually changed our travel dates based on the times it was available...it's that nice. The view is probably the best in Playas del Coco and the property is super-private. The second bedroom is secluded at the end of the house with it's own entrances so people staying with you will have their own privacy. The house is walking distance to town and the beach but because it is at the top of a hill, the climb could be a challenge for some people. But it is a cheap taxi ride from the beach so really not an issue. Jeannyna is great with communication regarding instructions and house policy and she responds quickly if you have any issues. There is not a bad thing that I can say about this property and we will stay hear again and again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Punta Preciosa. The location is beautiful and private. The beach was virtually deserted most of the time. The swimming was fantastic and it was also nice to walk along the sandy beach early in the morning and watch the Scarlet Macaws and other birds. Pascal was an excellent host. He was very responsive to my inquiries and often responded within the hour. He has created a very helpful digital welcome book which you receive access to after booking. He helped arranged excellent tours for us, all of which I would recommend - kayak tour of the mangrove, boat And snorkelling tour of the Gulf, a night walk and a trip to Corcovado. The house is very nice and is tastefully and comfortably furnished. The gas stove and oven took some figuring out but worked well. There is no microwave or dishwasher. The main floor is open to the air so there were some insects at night but using the fan and insect repellent helped. We would love to go back again.

Awesome facility! It was exactly as described. Very quiet. very private, and very safe. The pool is definitely what stood out the most. It was very relaxing. Norwin thought of everything! He was very helpful. We saw a lot of hummingbirds. The bedroom was ample size with plenty of storage. We enjoyed our stay there immensely and look forward to returning.

We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful 2-bedroom property. The ocean sunset views were absolutely breathtaking every evening, and waking up to the sounds of the jungle was surreal. The unit was spotless, spacious, and fully equipped with everything we needed — the air conditioning was a huge plus in the warm climate! The infinity pool was the highlight of our trip — peaceful, clean, and surrounded by lush greenery with panoramic views of the ocean. It felt like our own private slice of paradise. The hosts were friendly, responsive, and made check-in seamless. You can tell this place is thoughtfully maintained with a lot of care. Whether you're relaxing poolside or enjoying the vibrant natural setting, this spot is perfect for anyone looking to unwind and take in the beauty of Costa Rica. Would absolutely stay here again. A perfect blend of comfort, nature, and luxury!

Absolutely fabulous host and stay. Sophie is extremely detail oriented and leaves no stone unturned. From the moment we booked, to our departure she was thorough and precise. The home was very peaceful and very well maintained and exactly as described. We all loved the patio and the shared pool and community area. As an extra treat, my two daughters were able to do a short painting session with Sophie at the end of our stay. Great stay for families or couples looking to get a bit off the beaten path and enjoy a tranquil environment. Would definitely recommend this host and this home when visiting Playa Grande. Local guide book and FAQ's were also helpful.

The hosts were so nice and helpful, we asked about the night walk last minute and they were able to offer it. The daughter even let us know when she spotted a sloth outside. She gave us many reccomendations for restaurants and markets. She even answered all my questions extremely quickly. We felt like family the whole time we were there. We were greeted by their dog Camila every morning. The place is very clean and had all the basics needed. It was a secluded private area, felt very safe and was very peaceful at night. Also you can see different types of birds and butterflies every morning, right in your backyard. Also there was hot water which was great.

Hello! The accommodation was great. Centrally located but very quiet, ideal to rest before touring Costa Rica or after... in addition to a very good price, it was very clean. For observation only, the bathroom is under a staircase so it is lower than the rest of the studio. It can be uncomfortable for people over 1.70 meters. Otherwise, highly recommended

Very spacious, clean and cozy apartment. Jason had a very helpful pdf to guide you to the Location as well as through the Check-in which helped me find it without a Navigation System. Jason replied very quickly and Kind. I had a wonderful time there and can highly recommend.

Perfect accommodation for arrival/departure, about 5 minutes by Uber to the airport. The apartment has everything you need, we were very satisfied.

My stay was brief but I was well taken care of by Evelin and appreciated her prompt communication. The location was great and the apartment has an awesome view above the city

Comfortable apartment, well located with restaurants at the foot of the building. Completely secure neighborhood and building. Secure parking. Many quality services available for entertainment. Very responsive and friendly host who was able to help us when we needed it.

Gabriel is a great host, very proactive and responsive. The surroundings have plenty restaurants and it's easy to get around, and the place itself is very private. Very recommendable.

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb — the views were absolutely breathtaking, and waking up to the sound of capuchin monkeys in the mornings was a surreal and unforgettable experience. The space itself was clean, comfortable, and well thought out — everything we needed for a relaxing jungle escape. One thing to note: you’re in the jungle, and that comes with some trade-offs. We did have quite a few bugs find their way inside — at one point, hundreds gathered on a wall. It wasn’t ideal, but honestly not surprising given the location. Also, the walk down to the Airbnb includes a bit of a trek with stairs, so be prepared for a small hike in and out. That said, the peaceful setting, stunning nature, and wildlife made it all 100% worth it. If you’re looking for a real Costa Rican jungle experience with a touch of comfort and great scenery, this place delivers. Would absolutely recommend — just bring bug spray and good shoes!

Great space to stay only 1min walk to the beach!

The place was exactly what we needed for our vacation. It was convenient and in a quiet safe place away from the hustle and bustle from the down town of Coco. We had a car and a parking spot and we were a few blocks away from the closest restaurant. We were the only ones there for the week. The other units were not occupied and we had the pool to our selves. The pool was nice to cool off at the end of the day. The unit had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked great.

I stayed here for a month and absolutely loved it. The studio space is compact but has everything you need. It’s on the 28 floor with wonderful views over the city. The real beauty of the building though is the top floor (29) that has incredible shared amenity spaces. The coworking space is perfect. Very fast connection and lots of room to spread out, I’m an architect and had multiple monitors set up. The shared living room and other spaces were so relaxing. I felt like I was at home, but in a wonderfully luxurious space. The other residents were open and generous and quickly became friends who I will remain in contact with. I was sad to leave and will definitely be back.

Our family loved this airbnb . Very relaxing peaceful location . Especially enjoyed the private outdoor shaded space with hammock and our own pool . Well equipped kitchen , comfortable beds , daily cleaning services . Would recommend without hesitation . Thank you Alvaro !

Just as pictured, veryyyyyy clean!!! I also really appreciated how responsive Jorge was. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this listing. The location was also really close to restaurants, I would recommend Naans & Curries….sooooo good!

We were 2 adults and 2 kids staying in Sean's beautiful place. It's big, plenty of space and a balcony with unbelievable views! The best thing was a private beach just a few steps away, perfect for relaxing and swimming. Another bigger beach is about 10-15 minutes to walk or a couple minute drive. We came during off season so it was very quiet which was perfect for us. We also walked about 10 min to the Marina for a boat tour which was very convenient. Thank you, Sean!

Beautiful condo in a secure location. Very kind and proactive hosts, provided lots of useful information.

Spyridon was super helpful, friendly and responsive! We had an issue with our apartment that was solved immediately. The place is beautiful, common areas like the pool are really well maintained and the property is stunning. We loved the fact that we had daily housekeeping service included, they did an amazing job and there is nothing like coming back after a long day to a spotless home when you're on vacation! I also noticed that they keep security 24/7 in the property and that made us feel super safe. We felt super taken care of and would definitely come back! :) On a side note, I will advise that you rent a 4x4, the roads in Santa Teresa are really bad and the dirt road leading up to the Airbnb was super steep, muddy and bumpy - a normal car would struggle. On a positive note this place is super close to the main road and the main beaches and tons of restaurants and a supermarket, so you can walk everywhere whilst staying there.

i didn't get to meet jhonathon while i was there because he was out of the country. The people he hired were very friendly and helpfull. including Edar who is the gatekeeper and Luis who i think makes sure things get done. the landscaping is very well done and the pool is warmed by the sun to a very comfortable temp. i liked the pictures on the website but seeing it was better. Jaco is a tourist town but if you want to eat like the natives i recommend Garabito and Rustico.
