Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Nicoya Peninsula

What a find! While we were only there for a night, we absolutely loved it here. Clean, convenient and beautiful.

This home had beautiful views, a wonderful staff, and was a superb find for our family’s Christmas vacation. Santa Teresa is amazing and we had some of the best food on vacation ever! Our host , Brano was very responsive and our local helpers were amazing. There is a housekeeping staff on site, but they respect your privacy and keep watch over the property. They brought us extra towels when needed and were overall extremely respectful and helpful. For those traveling to this location, I strongly recommend either a car or ATVs as the home is located up a steep driveway. It is walkable (and there are 150 stairs to use instead) but to do this on a daily basis, you would have to be pretty fit and young. In addition, there are stairs from the driveway to get down to the house and these would not be appropriate for anyone with balance or stability issues. They were fine for us at 50 years old, but should be a consideration for anyone with walking or stability issues. We had a great time!

Adi was a fantastic host and had a beautiful property. He was very kind and made us feel right at home. He gave us all the privacy we needed. I am not sure if I missed this in the description of the property but we had the use of cleaners at no extra cost whenever we wanted, much like a hotel. We only used the service once but it was a nice touch. There is another suite above but we rarely saw them. The pool would be shared but again, they used the pool at different times. You can hear the roar of the waves from the property which is lovely even though it is maybe 400 meters through the trees and across the road. Mal Pais is a nice area to get out of hectic Santa Teresa and I would do this again. This has nothing to do with our excellent host but, to avoid disappointment, this is not a walk friendly area of Costa Rica. The roads are busy with ATV's and motorbikes and an awful lot of heavy equipment with no sidewalks. However, if you fancy a walk, the huge beaches slake that thirst.

This place is AMAZING! We came here on our honeymoon and were blown away by the beautiful surroundings and the attentiveness of the hosts. The breakfast provided was so nice, and felt like a feast! Even more enjoyable sitting and eating the meal in their outdoor common area, you truly feel like you’re just sitting on a mountain. It was lovely getting to know the hosts. They provided us with fun recommendations on things to do. We drove down off the mountain one of the days and took surf lessons in Samara! One evening we drove about 15 minutes down the road to eat dinner at Restaurante Teosinte (highly recommend checking that out while you’re in the area). Be sure to pay attention to their specific instructions on how to get there, those were very helpful. Especially having a 4x4 is very necessary. The hosts have created a fantastic stay in the mountains of Costa Rica and I’m so grateful they did and offer it available to be enjoyed by others! 10,000x recommend this place!

Had an amazing stay ! Location gives you a real feel of Costa Rica, she was not kidding when she said you need a 4X4 to access the property. Love the home, love the view, and love the easy communication with the host.

Barbara and Johns place exceed our expectations. The pictures don’t do it justice it was truly beautiful. They were also amazing hosts and went above and beyond to help make our stay very special. I would heavily recommend staying here and with this host! Barbara gave many great recommendations and even helped my boyfriend (now fiancée) plan a surprise proposal at the local beach! This was truly a trip to remember and the beautiful house and amazing hosts made our stay even more incredible.

Merveilleux endroit! Très confortable. Très facile de louer un 4 roues et se déplacer par la suite sur les différentes plages. Lit très confortable, cuisine bien équipé. Plage magnifique, presque déserte, j’y retournerais sans hésitation!

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.

I have been to many Airbnb's around the world and there have been a handful that make me feel like heaven on earth. This is absolutely one of those places. The view is ASTOUNDING!! The home itself is so cool. The owners seem absolutely lovely as we got to meet them in person as they help you check in. The details they accounted for are impeccable. I would live here forever if I could. If you stay here, you will NOT be dissapointed. Sooo much to do in and around Jaco as well which is a relatively quick drive down the mountain. Rqncho Shadday, the restaurant very nearby this place is so nice as well. My family and I loved every single second of our stay here. Please also know the work they would have had to put into this place is immense to create the dreamy space they have. Absolutely loved the stay so very much!!! 20 out of 10 stay!!!

Jose’s place was just like the pictures, incredible! It really feels like you are in the middle of the jungle, you can hear all of the different types of animals, it’s amazing!

We had such an amazing time celebrating a milestone birthday. Everything was absolutely perfect. The property is stunning. The rooms were comfortable and immaculate. This was the perfect space to spend a week connecting with friends. We did not want to leave and will definitely be back. I would highly recommend this property if you want a peaceful space with beautiful surroundings but still close enough to everything Santa Teresa has to offer.

Hermosa casa,limpia y ordenada . Sin duda volveremos.

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 !

No words can quite describe the magical experience of staying in this beautifully crafted treehouse. The view is incredible, but it is the tasteful and rustic personal touches that make the space feel so cozy and inviting. Peter was a welcoming, responsive, and kind host, and all of the love and craftsmanship with which he and his family have created their homestead is evident in every corner of this spectacular place. From waking up and watching the sunrise over the ocean from our crows nest bed, to taking a warm outdoor shower at twilight in the rain, to stargazing at night while lightning storms danced on the horizon, each moment was better than the next. The casita was equipped with everything one could need, and we were very comfortable with the fan at night. Thank you again Peter and Santiago for everything.

Un lugar hermoso y tranquilo justo lo que necesitábamos, increíble vista al mar. La casa muy cómoda, las habitaciones, la cocina y toda la casa muy completa. Sin duda y encantadas volveremos a ese lugar Dios primero 🙏 Muchas gracias don Patrick su casa es un paraíso, lo felicito. Bendiciones

We had an amazing time at the Ocean View Villa. Adriana and the staff that take care of the property were so friendly and hospitable. We visited during rainy season, and they were so quick to pull the lounge chair cushions under cover to prevent them from getting soaked. We felt very safe and comfortable the entire stay. They gave us helpful tips before and during our stay. The house and views were so good. The local area was fun to explore. We are so grateful to have had a chance to stay here and would recommend it to anyone wanting to have a fantastic stay in Costa Rica!

The tree house was everything I would expect from Costa Rica, no detail was spared. This was an ethereal place that was a perfect distance between both montezuma and Santa Teresa. It was easy to get into town, but also beautiful enough to spend the evening in—watching the storms! When I make my way back to the Nicoya peninsula I will 100% come back to this place

Everything about our stay was perfect. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Lina even provided beach chairs, towels and floaties. The location was unbelievable and property was beautiful. We requested sheets for the sofa bed ahead of time and it was made before we got there. We had the most relaxing experience. Would absolutely stay again in a heartbeat!

Cozy place just outside of town but a short walk to the beach where the Malpais tide pools are. It’s comfy and was sufficient for my short stay. I didn’t have a chance to use the tiny plunge pool in the common area. One should note that as noted on the listing there is little soundproofing so the road noise (mostly mornings - night is ok) is audible as well as if any of the other guests are talking in the common area which is immediately adjacent.

It felt like we were staying right in the jungle. Our back porch was a stunning place to enjoy a meal or simply relax. We saw many hummingbirds and could hear the howler monkeys every morning. There are other cabins on the property but the tall plants around the porch gave us plenty of privacy. I especially enjoyed the shower with the living plants in it. We had dinner delivered to us on our first night. It was one of the best pineapple juices I had on the trip. And the dinner was so big we made it into lunch the next day. It’s a quick and scenic drive to downtown Fortuna. Communication with our host was prompt. And when we arrived we met Fernando. He’s a friendly guy. I felt like I could ask him for anything. It was an incredible stay. We were sad to depart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!

Make sure you have 4x4 and book this place, you won’t regret it!!!!!!!

If you want peaceful and remote, this is the place for you! We stayed for 2 nights and had a wonderful, relaxing time. Giselle’s place was less than 5 min from Playa Coco, which was the best beach in the area (we didn’t surf but seemed like everyone that did also went there). There are not a ton of restaurants in the area, but as it’s easy to cook in the full kitchen and enjoy the beautiful views from the Airbnb, I’d recommend bringing your own groceries, striking up a fire and settling in. Watched the birds come in every morning from bed!

Beautiful stay, responsive hosts and incredibly helpful, friendly on-site staff. Very quiet, relaxing atmosphere. I often had the pool to myself. This was one of the most beautiful accomodations I’ve had with the best customer service. I accidentally broke a glass and they sent someone within minutes to sweep with a dustpan and deep clean the next morning. I was impressed. I will definetly hope to return with my loved ones!

My wife and I chose this unit for our honeymoon, the space was extremely beautiful and lush. The giant windows opening up into the La fortuna jungle was breathtaking. We spent every evening in the jacuzzi listening to the wildlife and sounds of La fortuna. Fernando had great recommendations and was very friendly. We’re looking forward to returning to this special place.
