Holiday rentals with beach access in Punta Islita

Beautiful home and has everything you need! The host was responsive and accommodating during the duration of our stay. Multiple beaches 5-10 minutes away. You will definitely need a 4x4 to get to the Airbnb as most roads in Nosara are extremely rough. We would definitely book this Airbnb again!

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.

Our stay was amazing! Justin was awesome, giving us easy instructions and was so friendly. The walk into town only took about 10 minutes, felt super safe and was enjoyable. The room itself was very clean, comfortable and had some much needed AC! Would for sure come back, 10/10 stay! Check out Cosita close by for some delicious authentic Italian pizza too!

Loved my stay here. Saoussen's team was quick to respond to any texts & were endlessly helpful (thanks Pablo!) Above and beyond what i expected. The casita was impeccably clean, comfortable, bright, and private. The neighbourhood was much more rustic than i expected, even based on my independent research. That is neither good nor bad, just surprising. Ultimately it suited me very well because i was not looking for a resort experience & really enjoyed the simplicity of the very small community of Playa Pelada, where everything I wanted was close: groceries were near by, Sunrise Coffee for excellent breakfasts, a handful of restaurants to choose from and the beach is 2 blocks away. I would recommend flying from Liberia to Nosara — it’s no more expensive than the shuttle van but so much faster and avoids the brutal roads. And Saoussen's team made arranging that very easy. I can be a nervous traveller, especially on my own. But they put my worries to rest by truly exemplifying Pura Vida!

Excellent accommodation!!! We loved Nautilus. It's great for long stays. High ceilings, spacious apartment, large bathroom, large bed, good air conditioning, very friendly staff, good wifi, good kitchen implements. The pool is exquisite. I really recommend it. Very well located! We left very happy.

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

Host was very responsive, very clean property, wonderful pool & staff. Would absolutely recommend! We stayed for five nights and took day trips to Montezuma for waterfalls.

A wonderful stay in a quiet neighbourhood right by the beach. Clean and perfectly equipped. The host was so responsive and tended to our needs right away. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Would come back. Highly recommend

Our family stay was excellent, the house is spacious, modern and very well decorated, with everything you need in the kitchen to prepare all kinds of food, a large pool and spaces in the backyard that overlooks the sea to rest or share with your loved ones; right in front of the sea so from almost all areas of the house you can easily see it. We loved it and hope to be back soon. 100% recommended

We had such a lovely time staying at Casa De Celeste. The property was absolutely gorgeous and in close proximity to town and adventures. It was the perfect getaway before our wedding. The caretaker Vincente was so kind and very helpful. He truly made the place feel like home. We will return and are looking forward to that day. I highly recommend this property.

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!

Wow! What an amazing place! Right on an empty beach and the cutest house! We had a great stay here and are already dreaming of coming back especially when a pool is added!

This is our second time staying here. I highly recommend staying at Gerardo’s place if you want a private pool and oceanfront place to stay in Samara. They are always such fantastic and responsive hosts. They respond to messages right away, always leave some fresh fruit for arrival and the home is exactly what you’d hope for for a beach vacation. We will be back!

We had the most amazing stay in this beautiful retreat! The location is simply amazing, the views of the valley were breathtaking and we loved sitting on the balcony looking out at the ocean view! We enjoyed the drive into Samara each day, and there were 2 amazing beaches just a few minutes from the house! The howler monkeys were everyone's highlight as they came to visit the surrounding trees a few times. The hosts were amazing and the property manager and staff were super friendly and helpful. We simply can't say enough about this place, and we're already looking at the calendar to see when we can return for another stay!

The place was amazing. Lush vegetation surrounding a pristine pool. There were two homes on the premises and would be ideal for a large family. Especially for a family reunion. The outdoor covered grill area next to the pool is perfect for a large gathering. Only word of caution be ready for ants in the kitchen. Don't leave any food on counter, including fruit.

Laura’s place is cozy and feels very local. The front porch is amazing! You can hear the waves and the birds and monkeys. Fans keep it cool enough. Easy walk to beach and good restaurants right on the same road.

Not much to add beyond the countless rave reviews here. The restorative and serene view and location is obviously the best quality, but the condo itself is comfortable and offers all the comforts of home as well. We loved the empty beach, the sound of the surf, and the cackle of the tropical birds. If you want crowds and traffic jams, head to Tamarindo. If you yearn for quiet and a vintage Costan Rican experience, I recommend without hesitation.

Great host, super responsive and gave a nice list of all the places to eat around would definitely go back!

Very relaxing place to end a 15 day stay in Costa Rica. Very well located condo and with magnificent sea views. You can easily walk to the beach

The place met our expectations, we had the opportunity to walk to the beach because it is so close. Access was easy and there are shops (restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets, etc.) quite close. My husband and I had a great time! Thank you both for your attention and prompt response.

Marisa’s Airbnb is in the perfect location in the heart of Santa Teresa - just steps away from the supermarket, gym, surf shops, and the main surf spots. Beyond the unbeatable convenience, the stay itself was fantastic. Marisa is the sweetest host—super welcoming, incredibly helpful, and always responsive. We even got to hang out beyond the Airbnb space and become friends, which made the experience even more special. We can’t wait to come back and see her again soon!

Grazie mille Elena i Francesco! Thank you for a lovely stay. Your place suited our needs very well. We appreciate speaking with you in French. It's much appreciated. We also liked the oranges and mandarins. We really enjoyed your suggestions for local attractions. Again, a big thank you!

The condo was beautiful, and you can't beat the view. Any questions we had were quickly addressed. The pool was really nice as well. You can't really walk to town safely because there is no sidewalk and it's a busy main road. Adults should be able to during the day I guess, we never attempted it. You can walk to town via the beach, the walk to the beach is easy. We would definitely stay there again!

Mariajo's apartment is very comfortable and modern. It has all the necessary appliances and utensils to live. It is also in a very quiet area, which allows you to quickly reach all the places of Santa Teresa / Mal Pais. Mariajo is very attentive and helpful. It helped us with everything we needed. I 100% recommend this place and especially the host!
