Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Gulf of Papagayo

Camille and her mom are wonderful hosts. The house was like a beautiful dream. It smelled so good every time I entered. The pool was always clean. I saw many animals. We didn't want to leave, but we would definitely come back again with my family to stay longer. The nature, the animals, the birds—I was truly happy there. I recommend that future guests be aware that if the directions don't lead you past Flamingo Beach, you might be on the wrong path. It's better to take the longer route to be sure.

El lugar es hermoso, todo muy limpio, la piscina súper aseada y la atención de Don Paul es insuperable, muy atento y contesta y resuelve cualquier situación muy rápido. Muy linda la zona, muy céntrica y muy tranquila, nos encantó. Volveremos

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!

Muy satisfecho con la atención de Kevin, cualquier duda que teniamos, respondía rápido, la casa super confortable, tal cual se miraba en las fotos, la privacidad del lugar excelente, mis hijos disfrutaron mucho la piscina, la verdad todo 10/10, volvería a rentar sin duda alguna.

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

Yvonne was a great host and the location of her place was great for my stay. Yvonne is very responsive and made the instructions for my stay very seamless. The house was beautiful as well as the location!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is perfect—just a short, scenic walk to the beach, where we felt like we had a little slice of paradise to ourselves. One of the most magical parts? We spotted monkeys in the trees right off our deck—it felt like something out of a nature documentary! The place itself is spotless, modern, and thoughtfully decorated with charming, beachy touches that made it feel both cozy and stylish. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful from the moment we arrived, always available with a smile or a great local tip. And we have to mention the cats! We completely fell in love with them—they added such a sweet, homey vibe to the property. We’re already dreaming about our next trip back. If you’re headed to Costa Rica, this spot is a total gem!

We loved our stay in Playas del Coco! The place is beautiful and we loved the artistic touches. The pool felt great after hanging at the beach and we enjoyed exploring nearby beaches Ocotal and Hermosa. We appreciated all the food recommendations and our baby loved the toy cabinet. :) Thank you for a great stay!

It was one of our best stays! It's a very clean unit with an amazing view. The kitchen is well equipped with various pots and pens and appliances. The beds were comfy to my surprise and we all slept like babies. The pool was great and clean. They also had pool noodles, beach chairs, cooler and snorkeling equipment. Lennis was just great! she is super kind and the communication was very good. Definitely recommended.

Appartement parfait avec vue imprenable. Notre hôte, David, a été très disponible, à l'écoute et très agréable. Bien situé pour visiter les différentes plages et villages du secteur. Nous recommandons de louer un 4x4 pour éviter le stress des routes du CR et la montée au logement. Pas de souci pour opter pour le chemin proposé par Google de l'aéroport, beaucoup plus court. Nous nous sommes sentis très à l'aise d'utiliser la piscine ou autre facilité de la propriété. L'appartement est confortable et très propre. Nous recommandons vivement ce logement.

My husband and I took our first family vacation with our 2.5 year old son, and Pedro's home was the perfect family-friendly location. First, the home itself felt even nicer than shown in the pictures. The home was spotless, spacious, and included everything we needed for our stay. Our toddler was delighted by all of the beach and pool toys on the property, and the pool has a large shallow ledge that made swimming much more accessible to him. The pool was cleaned every morning by the groundskeeper who was very friendly. The property is fully gated, and we felt safe and comfortable knowing that Pedro and his wife lived on the third floor, and the groundskeeper also lived on the property. That said, our stay still felt private. The location and views simply cannot be beat. Each evening, the sun sets directly in front of the property over the ocean. Playa Hermosa as a whole was quiet, calm, and welcoming, and I'd argue that Pedro's home is the best property there.

Le logement était parfait ! Tout correspondait à la description ! La piscine est super et les hôtes sont très accueillants et nous ont bien conseillés pour les bonnes adresses dans le coin ! Je recommande et reviendrai avec grand plaisir ! Merci!

Un apartamento muy bien equipado, cómodo , limpio y en excelente ubicación. Me encanto!

In general, CR was more expensive than I would have guessed, which made Andrea's place an even better value than I hoped for. The unit is in a gated area right on a beautiful beach with a very active reef, and lots of colorful fauna. There's even a nice restaurant 100m away. We stayed much closer to home than we intended for the whole trip. If there was anything that might scare people away, there were several ant species roaming around the unit. It's a jungle, and they have wings, so what can you do? Nobody got bit, and they were individuals, not swarms. I also evicted a land crab that was enjoying the AC. I don't think you're going to find anything without an elevator and a lobby that doesn't have this level of intimacy with the local fauna. I would not hesitate to recommend Andrea's place to anyone.

Visited Playas del Coco about four times before, stayed in different places but this property make me feel comfortable and welcomed. I usually dont cook, but the simple, organized kitchen make me cook breakfast, bed was comfortable, AC and TV work perfectly, bathroom was huge and the water pressure was very strong. Highly recommend. place is quiet even though there were other guest on the second floor. Location is excellent very close to main road in el Coco and getting in and out was so easy. Thank to Mrs Lila, that gave me plenty infomation to get to the airport by bus, saving me a lot of money. I would love to return. Flor does have a valuable property. keep it up.

We had a great stay. It’s well functional studio with a fully stocked kitchen with utensils and appliances, and located just 100m away from the beach and 5 min walk from the main street that had all the restaurants and bars.

Patrick provided a fantastic stay and experience. His communication was excellent. The location is ideal, and the space is comforting. I stayed for approximately two weeks, worked daily with multiple video calls each day, and never had an issue. Wifi streamed regularly at about 200 MB down. I've stayed in Pacifico frequently, and this is one of the better units. Highly recommend.

This place is fantastic, spotless, well equipped, secure, easy to access and a beautiful ocean view. The beach chairs/umbrella are a great bonus which we used to enjoy Playa Flamingo in comfort David is a generous, responsive host. Thank you for hosting us.

Charlie's place was just like the pictures. It was close to the airport, but very quiet. My family of 4 stayed just one night after landing at the airport before heading to La Fortuna. A bit tight with all our luggage but it was fine for one night. Pool and surrounds were great.

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.

Great place to stay! Very clean and well taken care of condo in a safe area. The pool and area outside the condo is very nice and a great spot to hangout. We had a rental car which made the short drive in to town very easy.

Our family enjoyed staying here. Our two young daughters shared a room and really enjoyed the pool and the beach toys that were available in the house. My wife and I appreciated all of the detail that Grant left regarding the home and the surrounding area. He added personal touches by sharing his favorite locations and the reasons for them. The condo is conveniently located right in front of one of the pools. The beach is an eight minute walk away. If you don’t want to walk, you can drive there and park for a small fee. We recommend this place for any families wanting to visit.

El alojamiento de Francisco es una excelente opción para explorar Playas del coco y sus alrededores. El condominio donde se ubica está muy bien cuidado, con una vegetación muy refrescante y ardillas que llegan a visitar 🙂 la piscina está aseada. El apartamento es cómodo , con todo lo necesario para unas vacaciones y el internet funciona perfectamente si necesitas trabajar . Espero volver a hospedarme acá en el futuro .

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!
