Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Playa Carrillo

Kendra and her staff were extremely helpful and her home is beautiful. Our family had the best vacation. We love Nosara and will be back.

We had a fantastic and relaxing time in Samara. The house is very comfortable, with the best beds of our Costa Rica trip. The kitchen was well equipped, and everything was as described. The pool, while small, entertained the kids after a half day at the beach. Two things to note if you're going to book. 1) You may think it is walkable to Samara, and technically it is, but in the heat of the day it is not. 2) The public utility infrastructure of Samara is under strain, so expect blackouts and at certain times of the day a dribble of water pressure. This is a Costa Rica thing, not a house thing. We had a fantastic time.

We were looking forward a remote location to settle for some months. This was a great sanctuary to be alone and explore the empty beach. The WiFi was very good , even when other local services were unavailable. The neighbour made us delicious food when requested. A great adventure.

The house is nicer then the pictures! Early check-in was a plus. Secluded, no neighbors. Safe, private parking✅ Nice view✅ Hot water✅ Strong AC✅

Great location, cozy and modern home, we would definitely go back to the place , as the only recommendation to improve the lock of the entrance gate!

We stayed in three different Airbnbs while in Costa Rica for two weeks and this spot was hands down our favorite. It's nestled in a neighborhood just outside of town and is a lovely secluded getaway while still being near everything you'd like. We had an SUV as our rental, I do advise having a rental car or a UTV while you are here to get around. Blair has some fantastic recommendations for where to watch the sunset, dining, and things to do. He clearly knows the area like the back of his hand and wants to ensure that your stay is as peaceful and enjoyable as possible. Would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a trip to this area. Nosara is such a magical place and you will truly be blown away by the beauty of it all!

We loved our stay! We were a group of 8 and had PLENTY of space. The place is very private and the beach feels basically private too. It’s not crowded with tourists and surfers like the beaches closer to town. Only thing to note is that the villa is further from downtown Nosara than it looks on the map. You can walk to Nosara along the beach in about 45 min but mostly you have to drive. Also, we had a few power outages which seems like a regular occurrence in this area due to Monkeys tripping the power lines. They never lasted more than 3 hours though. Special shout out to Harold who lives on the property who was INCREDIBLY helpful without being intrusive.

There were five of us staying at German and Francisco's house for a week and we had a great time. The beach is right in front of the garden! We did a dolphin tour there and ended up in the middle of a dolphin swarm! German and Francisco were very helpful and responded to us within a very short time with questions.

Had a lovely 2 week stay at Casa Clara. The home is very clean, chic, modern and lots of natural light. Nice nature surrounding on all sides. Sofia was an impeccable communicator and extremely helpful as our host. She was so nice and supportive during our stay. The private gate and parking was a nice touch as well. They kept the pool and gardens very clean during our stay so my kids could always swim in the pool. Outdoor showers were our favorite so we didn't use the ones indoors at all. Only downside was no dishwasher but we made it work! Great location and super close to all the big spots, but also not near the main road so we had some quiet (except for the amazing monkeys) and peace to ourselves. We would stay there again!

The place was comfy and I felt like home. The house was equipped and perfect to spend quality time. The host was helpful, friendly and proactive! We definitely will come back! Thank youuu!

Right in the heart of a wild Reserve, with beautiful birds flying round as you relax by the pool with freshly made juice in hand and your jumbo shrimp on the bbq. What more could you want? Walk 10min and your on an epic surf beach, Playa Camaronal. Most consistent in the region and very few people ever on it. Drive further and you have the most secluded peaceful beaches where turtles lay their eggs at night (4x4 recommend ). Drive 10min the opposite direction and your on a huge white beach lined with shady palm trees; Playa Carrillo is a local favorite on the weekends but empty all week. Dayana was an amazing host, she was so quick to respond and bring anything we needed to the property. Didn't need much as the place was impressively kitted out. She had loads of suggestions where to go and was super understanding of our needs with a 16month old. Perfect place for kids in the gated compound. You can even rent all 3 flats so the whole family are together.

We had an incredible time at this property. The photos do not do it justice. Views for days, comfortable living area, three new king beds and a well-appointed kitchen. Extra bonus of having filtered water and ice in the fridge. The outside area is incredible and you can have shade/sun/pool all day. The A/C works well to cool the house and keep it very comfortable. At this property you are a short drive from playa conchal, Tamarindo and other local beaches (Flamingo, Brasilato). There is a grocery store close by with basics and a larger one a few minutes further, there is a gym and a fruit/veg stand as well. We spent our mornings lounging on the deck and in the pool, our afternoons & evenings exploring and our nights watching a movie or listening to the monkeys on the deck. We saw butterflies, dragonflies, birds and lizards, heard monkeys and watched a tree full of parrots. We drove in the wrong side when we arrived, so be sure to come in the main gate.

Everything you expect. Great home, great host. Very clean, nice pool. Excellent communication. Only the surf teacher that was recomended wasn’t that good but that’s not on the host in my opinion.

An unparalleled place, perfect to unplug and spend some incredible days! Just 15 minutes from downtown Marbella, easy access to the other beaches. The house is as shown in the photos, we saw some beautiful sunsets from the pool, with 24/7 security, I would definitely come back and recommend it

The best place I could choose to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday! Many thanks to Jean Carlo and Hilda for all the help!

Great place to stay! We loved the jungle feel at casa abejas and the salt water pool was amazing.

The little blue house is exactly what one needs. Has a working kitchen, quiet, and best of all the beach is right there. It was nice to have a peaceful place to return to after busy excursions into the cities or whatever else. Felt like a home away from home. Would definitely visit again

Very nice to stay, nice kitchen, bathroom, comfortable room. Very well equiped. Definetely will try to sya there again!

Highly recommend! Very unique and tucked away spot away from the hustle and bustle of Nosara. Irene is responsive, helpful and very friendly.

my second stay in 2025 & can not wait to visit again. the location is perfect for piece & quiet yet the town is an easy walk. I highly recommend

This is literally staying ON the beach in a casual, tranquil, local Tico neighborhood. If you love the beach and can imagine the convenience of having your house along with you as you enjoy the beach, then you’re likely to love this stay. You know what the tide is doing because you hear it and see it from the house 24/7. The peaceful sounds of the surf, rain and wildlife were our favorite part! Thanks!

The villa is beautiful, comfortable and private. Jefrey is an excellent host, he is friendly and accessible. Our stay was in rainy season so the street was in very poor condition, take it into account if you go with a sedan type car, and the villa is a little far from the village where you can buy groceries. Leaving this aside, it is a place that is totally worth visiting.

A spectacular place to disconnect we had an amazing time 😌🙌

This place is perfect. We had a great time, so sad that we couldn’t stay more days. I’ll be back for sure. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to go to see Playa Carrillo.
