Family-friendly holiday rentals in Tivives beach

We stayed only one night prior to our flight. Despite being close to the city/airport, it felt very private and was relatively quiet. The view was great, and we walked to a restaurant down the street for dinner. Beds were very comfortable. Stephen’s team was super responsive and went above and beyond.

Guillermo's place was very comfortable and clean. There was AC in both bedrooms and the living room. We did not get to go to the pool since we stayed one night stay only. He gave clear check in instructions that were easy to follow. I like that it is inside a private area and it was very quiet. I would recommend his place to others.

It was a very pleasant stay, the apartment is very quiet, and is close to the places of interest I needed to visit. Thanks

Norman’s place is amazing and he was very communicative and helpful! Would definitely recommend to go there and I would love to go back.

Three of us stayed at Wanderlust to celebrate the upcoming wedding of a friend. Our stay was nothing short of amazing. Highlights of the accommodations were the incredibly comfortable beds, the peaceful atmosphere and the fantastic hot tub. What really makes this place stand out is Jai. Jai could not have done more to make our stay a magical occasion. She provided us with impeccable food and drink recommendations, connected us with local, trustworthy transportation and bent over backwards to make sure everything was perfect. Jai really is a special treat. We all hope to be back someday.

Randall was the perfect host. We requested early check in because of an engagement we needed to attend early in the day and he worked with us. We would highly recommend his home. Perfect experience for the first time at Costa Rica.

My husband, three-teenaged kids, and I had an amazing stay here! The condo is a great location close to the main strip for restaurants, shopping, groceries. The resort is well kept and the pool is top tier. The view from the balcony is breathtaking! The condo has washer/dryer and A/C which was necessary for our family of five. Communication with host was easy. We had an issue with water leaking from master BR’s A/C unit and Phil immediately had the issue rectified. We rented a car and drove from SJO airport, and we are so glad we did! Getting around is easier with the Waze app. It took us about 2 hours to get from SJO to condo due to afternoon traffic and about 1 hour and 15 minutes for return to airport in the early morning with less traffic. We give our stay at Anik and Phil’s a strong five star!!

Our stay at Lauren’s place in Jacó was absolutely perfect! The home is beautiful, located in a quiet and peaceful part of town — just far enough from the main strip to feel relaxing, but still close enough to everything you might need. It had every amenity we could have asked for. You can tell Lauren has truly thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable and at home. The check-in process was seamless, and Lauren was incredibly easy to communicate From start to finish, it was one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had. We would 100% recommend staying here if you’re visiting Jacó — you won’t be disappointed! ⸻

A typical recreational quinoa with each very clean and well equipped comfy. The excellent social area. We did BBQ and it has a great time at the pool. Extremely special night with lights and everything you need. Come on and shower outdoors as well. A 10! Very communicative hosts.

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!!

We had an absolutely heavenly stay at Jan's; it was our second time in this lovely place, a perfect escape far from the crowds. The location is incredibly peaceful, with the tranquility we craved while still being close to restaurants, supermarkets, and everything you may need. The place has everything you need to cook, making it feel like a true home away from home. The internet connection was flawless, which made working remotely a breeze. As usual, Jan was attentive and responsive, ensuring our stay was comfortable and seamless. We can’t wait to return to this slice of paradise!

Maricel’s place was exactly as described. A great place to land flying into San Jose; Uber from the airport very inexpensive. Communication very easy and Maricel is very responsive and helpful. We did forget to leave one set of keys and Maricel has been very kind and understanding to let us drop them off when we fly out.

Great stay! Two blocks from downtown, walkable. We rented bikes from a neighbor. Pool was perfect. Safe neighborhood. We're already planning another stay👍🏽

highly recommended. The house comes with a private pool and everything you need to feel at home. private condominium, very safe. has independent bathrooms and airs all over the house. would definitely come back. The host arrives and explains everything very clear to you.

Paradise found is an apt name. What a beautiful home in a beautiful place. I stayed for 4 nights with my wife and 3 teenage boys. The home was clean and well stocked with all the items we needed to make meals in the kitchen. Jose, the caretaker, met us at check in and showed us the lay of the land. We had access to the garage that had surf boards and body boards. The pool was clean and warm, and we had fun jumping in and splashing around. The beach across the street is a close to private as you can get. It goes on for miles each direction. The only people we saw were the occasional local fishing or some folks taking a stroll on horseback. Waves were huge and fun to play in. Watch out for rip tides! The directions to the home were great. The house is located between Jaco and Manuel Antonio. Both fun spots to explore. Thank you Mary and Jose for making our family trip unforgettable. We cant wait to return.

I stayed here with my wife and two daughters and our friends and their two daughters and it was absolutely perfect. The house is beautiful and the layout was so great for our two families. Lisa was a great host and supplied lots of info and also helped make arrangements for us for both a chef and a day out on a boat. The location was so close to so many great places but secluded just enough to feel very private and comfortable. We had such a great time!

David’s place was great! You cannot beat the location and view. We were so thankful we chose this place, it was close to everything and he is a great host. We’d love to come back!

It was an excellent experience in the house. We had some problems with the air conditioning and they solved them on the same day. The pool and the house are very well cared for. It includes many things in the kitchen and bathrooms. However, as a suggestion, it would be to consider putting chairs for sunbathing. Other than that, everything was great

This villa is truly breathtaking. Very spacious and close enough to both Jaco & Playa Hermosa. I would say try to get up to the villa during check-in hours as it gets dark quickly in CR and it’s hard to see up the hills in the dark. Thomas is a super responsive host & the property manager Laura is extremely helpful. This villa offers daily cleaning and if any issues arise they are fixed within hours. I enjoyed my stay and I would return again! There will be bugs so be prepared but the bug spray provided by the cleaning ladies and keeping the doors closed did help a lot!

We absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and just steps away from the beach — you really can’t beat the location. Everything felt high-quality and thoughtfully set up, making it easy to relax and enjoy. It’s an especially great spot for surfers, with amazing waves just a short walk away. But even if you’re not surfing, there’s so much to do in the area — from exploring nature to enjoying delicious local food. The whole place has a laid-back, good-vibe atmosphere that made our trip extra special. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay. The beach is beautiful, and the house is spacious and well laid out.

Perfect welcome and the house well equipped and quiet

We stayed at the house for two days, It was very comfortable. We loved the open floor plan and it’s close to the airport.

Thank you! It’s a wonderful place.
