Beach house holiday rentals in San José Province

We had the loveliest time at this beachfront house. The pool is gorgeous - not too warm or cold. It was so refreshing to relax in the pool and stare at the waves. The house is in the best part of Esterillos, right in front of the “mermaid” and the tide pools. The house is well designed and makes use of all the spaces. It was clean and well equipped. You can also walk to the nearby store and there are a few good restaurants just a block or two away walking along the beach. It was an amazing place to share with family, we will be back!

Great location, a short walk from the beach. Spacious bedrooms and living area. Maud is a very considerate and accommodating host.

We enjoyed this beautiful, clean, home.

Such an amazing house and location. The house is beautiful, the beds were all quite comfortable. Lots of space and bathrooms for many people. The outside garden, BBQ area and pool were so amazing, it was a nice place to spend the afternoon in some shade when the beach sun was too intense. The beach is spectacular, the local neighbours are so friendly, they always make sure you and your family stay safe and aware of tides and currentswhen you go to the beach. The melon/fruit truck that drives by is such a welcome bonus. I would have liked to see a little more up keep in the kitchen with cupboards hanging off hinges and no handle on the freezer and more cooking supplies (pots, pans, flippers). We had three adults and 4 children (1, 3, 9, and 11) everyone enjoyed the location and the house :) highly recommend. Danny and the team was also super responsive and very nice to deal with 😁

We stayed for four days and had the most amazing time. I had tears in my eyes saying goodbye to Emerita. She and Diogenes were wonderful hosts who helped us with any questions and pointed out a baby sloth that we never would have seen without her pointing it out. It’s truly a magical place, Déborah. Thank you for your timely responses, accurate description, and recommendations. For those considering—know thyself! If you freak out over bugs, this isn’t the place for you. It’s Pura Vida. My son, daughter , and I loved everything! Morning Mother’s Day walk solo on the beach was perfection. We will return!!!!

Beautiful home right on the beach with amazing host who was always right there to assist when needed. The home was immaculate and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The living room was a great relaxing spot and my favourite was the patio table overlooking the pool. We loved this home and you can tell the owner takes pride in hosting. We will be back at the first opportunity . Highly recommended. Thank you for an amazing few days!

Very well located and very clean apartment.

We had a great stay at Suzanne’s place. The pool was even bigger than we thought it would be. The place was pristine and the design of the house was amazing. We enjoyed the walk to the beach and breakfast at Cafe Ensueño just a block or two away. We loved being able to still enjoy sitting outside in the covered living space when it rained in the evening. We saw a toucan from the pool which was a real treat and our two year old son loved hearing the howler monkeys in the morning. The supermarket next door was very convenient, though that and the nearby highway were sometimes noisy. But all in all we still found the stay to be very relaxing. Starting out the day with the outdoor (but private) shower was great. Suzanne was very communicative, flexible with check in, and had great recommendations for nearby restaurants and things to do. Náuyaca waterfalls are just 15 minutes from Suzanne’s place and were a highlight of our trip. We wish we could have stayed longer!

This is a beautiful house with total privacy. We saw several birds species at the house and walking through the neighborhood. It’s a short drive into Uvita and there are several restaurants to choose from. It’s also close to Arco Beach, Whale Tail, and Catarata Uvita. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends.

Jefferson is a great host with an amazing home. The home is so private and peaceful. We swam in the pool while watching monkeys swinging in the trees. It was the coolest experience ever. Jefferson was great and communicating and helped us with any questions we had leading up to our trip. His concierge team is also top notch. They helped us plan things to do throughout our trip, recommended some great restaurants, and communicated with us throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better Airbnb to stay at, and will definitely be returning next time we make the trip to Costa Rica!

Excellent place, very comfortable, spacious and beautiful, Eva is very kind and helped us with our questions

Casa de Paz was exactly as the listing described. Cynthia greeted us at the house, was thorough with giving us all of the info we needed including recommendations. There were many thoughtful touches inside and out. We truly felt like we were in paradise!

This is one of my favorite Air BnB stays. We stayed a week and loved it. The house is very tasteful and well appointed. It has lovely spaces and gardening all around. Beata was very responsive and helpful with local recommendations. I would return again and highly recommend a beach stay here.

Stuart’s place was an ideal location for a private and peaceful getaway. The property itself had great amenities - especially the pool and the surrounding landscape. It was centrally located to bars, restaurants and beaches in Uvita and two neighboring towns - but far enough away to feel like we were in the middle of the jungle. Stuart was a great host. His place definitely made our vacation!

This was one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in. The property is incredible. Josh and Cheyenne were super helpful and responsive. Josh showed my kids the chicken coup and greeted us with fresh eggs. He also helped us change our flat which was much appreciated. The property is very clean, tastefully designed with an incredible view. Would highly recommend a four wheel drive and finding it is a bit tricky but Cheyenne guided us. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

I have a hard time putting into words how magical this place was. When we first entered through to the deck, it didn’t even look real. From that deck with the lovely infinity pool we saw squirrel monkeys, a howler monkey, capuchin monkeys, toucans, scarlet tanagers, hummingbirds, macaws and more. Breakfast every morning was a huge perk and my younger sister in particular loved getting pancakes everyday. Just to note, there is still construction on what seems to be two nearby properties, but still an amazing stay (one of the fabric fences to block construction view is a favorite path of the squirrel monkeys though a side benefit)! Still a magical stay and a great way to celebrate my younger sister’s high school graduation.

We had a great stay! The apartment is cozy and in a great location. The host was friendly and helpful with great local tips. Loved the pool, nearby bus stop, and amazing restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommended!

Amazing place!

We found the location great: a small convenience store close by, good Mexican restaurant two blocks and beach four blocks away. Further: view restaurants 15-20’ in both directions; life-changing sanctuaries (Alturas) and wildlife preserves (Sierpe! Playa Tortuga!) 30-60’. Variety of surfing beaches from a walk to a drive away. Great couple renting boards right at the beach entrance so no need to carry them home. We loved the outdoor shower and especially the pool, heaven on a hot day or after a warm walk or hike. We loved taking an early morning “nature walk” to see monkeys and birds as they wake and look for breakfast. Real treats: Cherrie’s Tanagers, Morpho butterflies and especially the Howlers coming through the corridor next door at 4:45am. Tropical thunderstorms with frogs calling, enjoyed from the shelter of the terrace with lightning all around, rain splashing in the pool. The local Mercado with fabulous yogurt and smoothies, fruit and bread, Wed/Sat. House a sanctuary!

Firstly, thanks Lissette for everything! WOW!! Is what comes to mind, this home has a spectacular view of the ocean, that we could of sat, watched and listen to for hours. It was very clean and cozy. I absolutely loved it. Lissette was very kind and helpful, even before my check in. She answered all my questions about the area she provided great recommendations. (If i would of had a little patience...lol.)Lissette also have a very helpful binder with instructions, tips, and restaurants provided for her guest. Lastly, don't second guess it, if you come across this listing book it immediately, you will not be disappointed. Pura Vida!!! enjoy Costa Rica is was amazing!!!!

Plenty of room for a family of 5! The pool was a hit with the kids and the views were incredible. Clean and private and not far from beaches, waterfalls and food.

Had a great time! Was the perfect place for our family to spend a couple of days. Close to restaurants and the National Parque Ballena Marina.

I have stayed at Cassie’s place multiple times and there is a reason I keep coming back for extended stays. The house is amazing, the location is outstanding and the amenities are incredible. Her kitchen is super well outfitted with anything you could need and they poolside grill is perfect. I really couldn’t recommend this place or this host more highly.

This was an amazing experience! The villa was well equipped and very beautiful. The location was amazing as well, in the middle of nature but still close (less than 10min drive) to Uvita itself. We also saw tucans and monkeys from our balcony. We would defenitily recommend this!
