Villa holiday rentals in San José Province

We were staying at a nearby Airbnb when it lost power. I found Lizette’s place and messaged asking if they had power. She was quick to respond that they did. Their self check in option made our emergency last minute check in a breeze. Any time we needed something she was so quick to respond. The place itself is in an insanely gorgeous location. It’s a gated community and very safe. Beautiful sunrises/sunsets overlooking the ocean. We saw coati and iguanas. The place was incredibly clean. Like immaculate, really. It’s nearby to everything you need, about 3 minutes to town. Could not recommend this place enough it was an absolutely dream!

Had a great stay at the beautiful home with a great pool. We had everything we needed in kitchen to make a great breakfast for our group. Enjoyed relaxing by the pool and the washer and dryer were perfect to do laundry since we packed lightly. While outside we were approached by a few homeless people asking for handouts but once we were stern we had no issues. It was a great place to come back to after visiting family in the city. We would highly recommend for future visits.

Villa Temenos is simply fantastic! We had the most wonderful stay. Truly so peaceful and beautiful, with toucans and macaws stopping by in the trees outside to say hello. Henry, the caretaker, is the friendliest and kindest person around. It was truly the best trip to relax & unwind within nature. The location to town is great and super easy to run in and out for groceries or to grab a bite to eat. The outdoor living space truly makes the villa! My husband and I kept commenting on how we’d never spent so much time outside on a trip and we loved it! We were there during the start of the green season so were able to have perfect mornings and afternoons then hangout under the covered area to listen to the evening rain and storms. Dean was responsive, hospitable, and provided the most helpful home guide. Truly appreciated! We can’t wait to return. Pura vida!

Meine Freundin und ich haben die Unterkunft von Debbie geliebt! 🥰 Die Details und der Einrichtungsstil im Schlafzimmer haben uns sofort wie zuhause fühlen lassen. Alles wurde mit sehr viel Liebe hergerichtet und Debbie hat defintiv ein Auge für schöne Dinge ✨️ Das Bett ist extra groß und die Bettwäsche extrem weich und angenehm zum Schlafen. Es hat neben zwei Ventilatoren sogar eine Klimaanlage im Zimmer. Die Außenküche ist mit allem notwendige ausgestattet und das Kochen sowie Essen umgeben von vielen schönen Pflanzen hat uns super gut gefallen. Weitere Highlights waren für uns die Außendusche sowie der Salzwasserpool. Eine wahrlich romantische Unterkunft die nur wenige Gehminuten vom Marino Ballena Nationalpark entfernt ist. Es hat uns so gut gefallen, dass wir sogar noch zwei weitere Nächte dazu gebucht haben. Die Kommunikation mit Debbie war spitze. Debbie hat mit dieser Unterkunft eine tolle Oase erschaffen und wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank & pura vida! 🌺🌴🐚

We had a wonderful time! Everything was exactly as described! Those views are AMAZING!! Lovely house, had everything we needed.

the house was BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLL the scenery was amazing! Roberto was a great host and was very responsive and addressed all my questions & concerns. The chef he recommended was also great, food was good! Only 2 cons bugs inside the home but that’s not their faults, we understand it came with the area and the front door was locked our whole stay (we entered the house through the back sliding door) But no biggie! I still enjoyed my stay and would recommend Roberto’s house 100%.

Lorna and Frank are great hosts. House is beautiful on the side of the hill right in the tropical forest. You have your private Toucans who welcome you every morning on the Papaya tree next to the pool. Views are stunning especially early morning (6am). We loved that house is very bright, so we could spot every little bug that decided to visit us. Extremely clean. Besides toucans there is plenty to watch. No spoilers here. YES you need 4 wheel drive car. Especially in the rainy season. YES you really need it. Can you make it with 2wd? You can when it’s dry. But after rain you won’t make it up the hill. Bring the binoculars. Yes you need them. Good flashlight might be useful as well. Pretty frequent, but usually short power outages. Dominical beach is not that great - but Uvita and Manuel Antonio are both stunning. Do the Rainmaker, you won’t regret a dime. On the way up to Platanillo the first fruit stand on the right is great and with local prices. We had wonderful time!

Nos alojamos en esta propiedad durante varios días y no podemos estar más agradecidos con la atención recibida. Desde el primer momento, la anfitriona estuvo siempre disponible, atenta y dispuesta a ayudarnos con cualquier consulta o necesidad que tuviéramos. Respondía rápidamente y con total claridad, lo que nos dio mucha tranquilidad durante toda la estadía. La casa es tal como se muestra en las fotos: cómoda, limpia, bien equipada y rodeada de naturaleza. Ideal para descansar y disfrutar del entorno. Recomendamos este alojamiento sin dudarlo, especialmente por la hospitalidad de la anfitriona, que hizo que nos sintiéramos completamente bienvenidos. ¡Volveríamos sin pensarlo dos veces!

I have rented houses in the Dominical/ Uvita/ Ojochal over a dozen times and Roberto and Diana's place has been my favorite by far. Not only is the property extremely unique in it's design and layout, it's amenities, location and incredible view is unmatched. Typically speaking, in this area of Costa Rica, a house with a view this amazing will require a 10 - 15 minute drive up hill. This house is a 5 minute drive from so much and within 20 minutes of everything we wanted to do. This made traveling with kids so easy and allowed us to really explore the area while also relaxing at the house often. This house is more than worth it, especially for the reasonable nightly rate in comparison to similar properties. Pura Vida 🌴

Eduardo's home feels like you are staying at a luxurious estate owned by a friend who has told you to come relax for a few days or a week while he is away on business. The home is elegant but comfortable and if there is anything you need, all you have to do is ask—Eduardo is always available and responsive to messages. Paola, the onsite housekeeper, is a wonderful resource, and an important part of the experience. She will greet you upon your arrival, explain how to access the property, help you with any laundry you need, provide daily maid service in your bedrooms, and help you prepare meals (all you have to do is buy the food/ingredients). If you don't speak Spanish, have your Google Translate app. ready, as Paola is a whiz at communicating with messages translated on her phone. There are great restaurants and shops nearby. We stayed in three different homes during our recent 9 day vacation in Costa Rica and this home was our favorite.

I have stayed in dozens of Airbnbs around the world and this one was absolutely immaculate and quite possibly my favorite. The property itself has been curated with deep intention and an artistic eye. It was the first time I have ever stayed in an Airbnb that truly exceeded the expectations portrayed in the already beautiful photos. The views are some of the best I’ve ever seen, the house is stunning and impressive and brought together with a truly designer flair to it. Every detail was thoughtful and of quality. Pascal and Virginie were wonderful hosts and the home cooked breakfast they offer is phenomenal and as gorgeously prepared with the same attention to detail that the property boasts. I will be retuning and recommending this property to friends as family as well!

Two words “ absolutely breathtaking”! I think that pretty much sums up this place. The Host and his team were all super helpful. The property is located on top of a Mountain with INCREDIBLE views. You get a full on view of the tail once the tide recedes. The place was extremely modern and clean. I absolutely loved every piece of decor throughout the villa. I would recommend this place over and over again, to everybody. One thing I would recommend, is that you take the hosts’ advice and stop at the Supermarket at the foot of the mountain before going up. It’s a good 20mins just to get back down for some water😂

This is a beautiful place located in the jungle of Uvita. If you are scared of bugs and animals this place is not for you. With a dope open architect design you will feel like you’re in nature!

We loved the house , the space, the pool and even the surroundings in the house floor and the downstairs that has a lot to explore. Mafe ( Maria ) was an amazing host and always there to help and respond anything we needed. She helped accommodate us the best possible for any needs needed . We loved that each room had a bathroom , plus two more in the house overall. We loved the lady who cooked and also takes care of the house . Her name is Gloria and she truly made our stay feel like HOME. Her cooking is amazing and she does it with love. She was truly one of our favorites part of the stay. The location was good and even had a spot nearby with different spots to try different food . We truly enjoyed this Airbnb to the max. Gloria makes the home feel like home and Mafe made us feel at home in Costa Rica.

This place is amazing. The views are spectacular! Jorge showed us around as soon as we arrived and was very informative. We saw Toucans from the pool area and heard the Howling Monkeys early in the morning. You will need a 4x4 to get up to the house, the road can difficult if it's raining. The bedrooms have A/C, but the main area with the kitchen does not. Because of this you will need to open the doors completely and this does cause bugs to be attracted to the lights in the house especially at night. It would have been nice to be able to close the screen to prevent spiders and flying bugs inside the house, but it was locked. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels and a washer and dryer if needed. The pool was too cold for us to get into, but that would have been an amazing experience as well. Just FYI, they have cameras around the entire outside. Front and back, so when you are outside enjoying the views they will have access to the area.

Our stay was magical. The house absolutely exceeded expectations from the minute we arrived. The view was spectacular, the pool was beautiful, the beds were comfortable and the decor was comfortable and inviting. A 10 out of 10!

We didn't want this vacation to end! This place was so beautiful and quiet. The pool, bar and outdoor kitchen were perfect. So well designed. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking the grounds and picking up fresh mangoes, coconuts, limes, starfruit and bananas. The wonderful scent of the ylang ylang trees was everywhere. Absolutely amazing. The house was spacious and we loved the doors of every room and the beautiful arched windows. Great architecture! The towels smelt fresh and were of great quality. The welcome book was truly helpful. Any question we had - the answer was in there. Very well done! One week was just not enough.

Preciosa propiedad, todo muy limpio, utensilios, muebles y camas más que suficientes para estar absolutamente cómodos los 7 que nos hospedamos. La piscina hermosa y el rancho de la piscina perfectamente acondicionado para un grupo grande.

Cette villa est extraordinaire lovée dans une nature luxuriante dominant UVITA, elle est tres bien aménagée et les 4 casitas ont permis à chacun d’avoir son intimité tout en passant du temps précieux en famille (9 adultes et 7 enfants) . La piscine, l’énorme terrasse, le mobilier extérieur et intérieur tout est bien pensé pour le plaisir et le confort des grands comme des petits. Le plus c’est le gentil jardinier Gilberto, qui s’occupe presque quotidiennement de la piscine et du jardin tropical, il nous a permis de profiter de ses nombreuses connaissances de la nature environnante et nous a confectionné de merveilleux bouquets de fleurs. Enfin, la présence, la réactivité et les conseils d’Anick nous ont été d’un très grand soutien pendant ces 2 semaines.

The house is wonderful, spacious and with nice different areas to spend your time. Just as describe. Host are super communicative, we had a great time!!

Beautiful traditional home in a central part of San Jose. Close to the airport and car rentals. We loved the peaceful gardens, private and secured neighborhood. Home has plenty of spacious rooms. However, not all rooms have AC units. Nonetheless, home is fresh and well ventilated with celling fans. We loved having a quick stop in SJ here! Highly recommended

Really special place!! The views are incredible and we saw so much wildlife from our beautiful wrap-around deck and the pool area, including monkeys, scarlet macaws and agoutis. Loved the privacy and serenity of the villa, but was a short walk to the Mariposa hotel. Would definitely stay here again!!

We had a great stay in San Jose! The place was huge with lots of space! The pool table was a nice touch and was in good condition. When we arrived, Leo gave us a quick tour of the place and showed us how to use everything. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The location was close to the airport and also close to the city center. All the bedrooms had AC, however the main house did not. We left the windows opened which helped, but also attracted a few bugs. Overall, it wasn’t bad at all. We all had a great time and this place was a great place to wrap up our time in Costa Rica 😊

Beautiful home. One of the nicest I have stayed in. Pool is spectacular! The View is incredible. Staff is top notch. My recommendation for grocery would be BM in Dominical. Restaurants at the Marina in Quepos. And Restaurants in Ojchal. Please Note if you want to go to the Manual Antonio park you need to make online reservations. We found out the hard way and was not able to go see it plus it is also closed on Tuesdays. I would highly recommend this home.
