Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Guanacaste Province

my husband and I loved our stay at Casa Gungun! Rodrigo was very good at communicating. We loved the peaceful area and the view was amazing! the road to the place is very rough and makes it a bit harder in and out for doing things but just know you don't get anywhere fast in costa rica. Ate the best pizza of our life at Kon tiki! Hot tub struggled to get hot with the power outages was the only slight bummer but we enjoyed it when it was hot outside instead!

Kevin’s space is fantastic! The outdoor space especially is stellar, and has something for everyone - pool, playground, outdoor theater area, pizza oven, you name it. The only thing is there aren’t any trees to provide shade, so it’s very warm in the middle of the day. Everything was awesome and clean and exactly as described. Kevin was super responsive and greeted us upon arrival. Amenities in the house were very thoughtful (e.g. he had the pack and play set up for us before we arrived for our son). The only bummer is the traffic from the road was a little loud when trucks and motorcycles went by, as it’s off a somewhat busy road, but not a dealbreaker by any means. Would come back for sure!

We stayed at Sal Vida Casita 1 for our honeymoon. Krista and Guido were excellent hosts very responsive and gave great local recommendations. The locals on the mountain are so kind and willing to share their livliehood. A great place to immerse in the culture and the beach and tourist areas are not far. The casita is surrounded by beautiful, peaceful private view, very clean and was a percect place for our 7day stay. Only one thing to note **The drive up the mountain is INTENSE especially the first time up. Allow atleast 25-30 minutes travel time up and down the mountain and an added 30-50 drive to get into nearest towns. You WILL need a 4x4 vehicle to get up, if a truck or jeep is avaliable do that. We had a midsize suv 4x4 and we were able to get up and down but a truck/jeep would have made a difference. The drive is well worth it once up and down but just be aware it is a long way up dirt roads.** The pool is a community pool but we were the only ones there and it was very clean.

Cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. From arrival to departure we felt at home. Questions were answered immediately and our host was extremely proactive in finding or sourcing items we needed. Highly recommend their recommendation for an ATV rental, we were thrilled at having this at the place with us and made getting into town a breeze! We felt incredibly safe and everything we needed was a short distance. The house is exceptionally private and well furnished. The pool is pristine and again, the hosts are just top notch. I’ve stayed at many airbnbs and never have had such a seamless level of communication. Thank you so much for making this such a memorable trip for my family. I cannot wait to return!

This place was an amazing stay. I was traveling with 6 of my college friends and slept perfectly comfortable on couches and doubles in bedrooms. The property is amazing, clean, great views, and perfectly private for us. Make sure you keep your eyes and ears out for howler monkeys, toads, tortoises and lots of tropical birds. Thank you Monica for your recommendations and helpful/quick responses!

Great place to stay. Close to Brasilito and Conchal and local restaurants. Quiet and peaceful little place. Very enjoyable. Would stay here again for sure.

Andrew and Brenda’s was the perfect place for our girls trip and a highlight of our time in CR! Beautiful surroundings, great local restaurants, and not far from beach. We had plenty of space for the three of us, it was very clean, and we appreciated the washer dryer. Road was a bit steep coming up but the view was well worth it. Highly recommend for anyone staying in the area!

Xiomaras home was one of the most beautiful Airbnb we’ve stayed at! We literally felt we were at home on how comfortable Xiomaras home was! Absolutely a gem! Everything it says on the Airbnb and the pictures you see is exactly what you get. We will definitely be staying here again the next time around in Costa Rica.. As soon as we got to her front gate I sent.Xiomara a message that we were there and literally 30 seconds later. The front gate was opening up. Manuel was also there for us for whatever we needed. Thank you, Manuel.

Lovely spot in the city with outstanding hosts.

Arcadia is the sanctuary you've always dreamt of, especially sunsets. I always made sure I was there to watch the sun go down, as that view is breathtaking. This place far exceeded our expectations, and the host was more than accommodating. Have and would HIGHLY recommend this remote spot, it is everything and more!!!!

An excellent place, quiet, far from the hustle and bustle. A super comfortable room. Excellent pool. Julie and Tony, two very friendly people. Thank you

The AirBnB is conveniently situated in the heart of Tamarindo. It was a clean apartment with good AC and a comfortable bed. The area the apartment is located in was very quite with secure parking outside of gate. Highly reccomend!

We had an amazing and unforgettable stay at the Treehouse! Colleen was such a friendly and helpful host providing very detailed instructions and local recommendations. The Treehouse was immaculate, well-appointed, and had everything you need to feel right at home. We cooked breakfast and dinner almost everyday during our stay and enjoyed the spectacular view from inside and on the patio. The only challenge we had was fighting off the bugs from outside, but just be prepared for that when traveling to Costa Rica. They’re everywhere! We were also able to enjoy the infinity pool (all to ourselves in the mornings!) which was a short walk away. Overall, a very enjoyable trip to Costa Rica. I would highly recommend staying at the Treehouse if you like privacy, amazing views, and outdoor trails.

Nice place close to the beach, we cooked in their fully equipped kitchen. It’s really nice having a kitchen to enjoy good food. The host is very responsive and nice. I definitely would stay again

Great place to stay in Tamarindo. I would highly recommend!

Hands down the BEST Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away—the views are absolutely to die for. Waking up to panoramic jungle scenery with toucans and monkeys right off the balcony felt like something out of a dream. The home was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was Jose—he went above and beyond to make sure every request was met with care and hospitality. You can tell he genuinely wants guests to have the best experience possible. We didn’t want to leave! Already dreaming about when we can come back.

This apartment was a fantastic find. My favorite part was the rooftop patio, which had stunning views of the bay and unforgettable sunsets every evening. The complex has several pools, and my husband and I found our favorite: a shaded one with plenty of loungers and chairs, perfect for cooling off during the 35°C days. The location is ideal — just a short walk to the beach, neighbourhood restaurants, and coffee shops. We even caught a Toronto Maple Leafs playoff game at The Wave bar nearby! 8 minute walk to main street, where we discovered some great restaurants and charming shops. I even bought a beautiful ring at Amano Jewelry, a locally owned shop run by a husband and wife team who sell their own creations along with pieces by other local artists. Dorita was a wonderful host. Her instructions were clear and helpful. She was also very responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. Highly recommended — we’d absolutely stay here again!

The place is incredible, very clean, with everything you need to have a great time — highly recommended

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.

Luca’s place is amazing and authentic. Having no tv was a BIG plus for us; it allowed us to unwind and relax. The AC worked great. The front enclosed kitchen/porch area was a great place to hang out. The location you can’t beat. It’s a quick walk to the beach and to all the bars and restaurants. He was really responsive when we needed some recommendations as well as assistance in checking in. The grounds are pristine, and it was close enough to all the restaurants bars and beach, but still very quiet.

David was easy to coordinate with, told us everything we needed to know, and even carried our bags after a long drive and days of adventuring! The condo was spotless and temperature controls were easy. Views out the front windows and from the pools are beautiful. While we weren't there long enough to cook, it looked like the kitchen was very well stocked - thank you for the bag of coffee so we could enjoy a cup by the pool each morning! We appreciated the beach towels and the ability to do our laundry before heading back. Very pleased with our choice of accomodations for our short time in Playa Flamingo!

We enjoyed our stay here! The place is well appointed and large and comfortable (the bed was super comfortable and that’s always important to me). Location was close to beach and lots of shops and restaurants (please note it’s down a dirt road so plan your shoes accordingly). We enjoyed many of the recommendations given including Falafel Bar, Breaking Bread, Little Lucha (for $3 taco Tuesday) and Baula.

We loved our stay here! Diana’s home is lovely and welcoming. We enjoyed having all necessary items-including beach gear-and enjoyed the pool after our outings. Diana’s recommendations were fantastic and led us to several memorable sunsets and delicious meals. We would love to return. It’s a wonderful home base for exploring the north coast.

We love going to Reserva Conchal and Daphne's place had everything we wanted, from plenty of bedrooms, to a great location and view overlooking the golf course. Once inside the reserve, we had access to both The Westin and The W and all the amenities they had to offer. Great place to spend a weekend.
