Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Guanacaste Province

We stayed with our family for three nights during spring break and had a wonderful time! There are some great restaurant recommendations (don’t skip Estero Azul!), and the house was walkable to the main strip of Playa Potero if you didn’t mind walking on no sidewalk roads for part of the journey. The kids loved the pool, and at least when we were there the beach was almost deserted and an easy walk from the house. The beds were extremely comfortable and the room darkening curtains were actually darkening!!

Beautiful house with a great private pool! We stayed with four toddlers and appreciated that the door to the pool locked with a key--only downside to keeping the door closed though is that we couldn't open that whole set of doors facing the pool to cool off as intended, so the downstairs got hot. But if you don't have little kids that won't be an issue. We had a problem with one of the ACs but host was responsive and we got it fixed. If you are staying with kids be aware that the walk to town is on a busy road with not much of a sidewalk, so driving/taxi/hiking backpacks may be useful. The hosts give a lot of info and the place is exactly as listed, but it would be nice if check in could be easier to do on our own with lock codes, etc. Small thing but it would be great if shampoo were available as an amenity. Great place though and we would definitely stay again!

Bertha and Kamal hooked me up with a local guide who helped me throughout the week. The house was nicely appointed, very clean and everything worked. Linens were of good quality. AC was good. Kitchen well equipped. The location is fantastic if you like the lush tropical rainforest vibe with lots of wildlife. Saw sloths, monkeys, Toucans a variety of birds and even an armadillo.. Proximity to Tenorio and Miravalles National Parks is excellent. Bijagua is a nice town and you get a feel for the real Costa Rica. I plan to return.

A super nice and cozy house, it has all the amenities for 10 people. The kitchen is fully equipped, the place is quiet and very safe. Definitely a stay we recommend 100%.

🩵🩵✨ A beautiful place!!

Jessica was super responsive! like 10m from the best beaches in the zone!

We spent a beautiful week at Casa Mariposa. We were 4 adults and 4 teens and the space was perfect for us. The house was spacious and there was lots of room for everyone. The location was great and very walkable to good restaurants and the spectacular beach! Appreciated the ample number of beach towels, the beach chairs and the tent. We would love to go back one day!

Wonderful week with my family of four! Loved Punta Islita—beautiful beach and resort- amenities available to us! So much wildlife around! We actually loved the separate master bedroom, worked perfectly for us. The pool was exquisite! Highly recommend!

Cute Condominium, Spectacular view from the terrace and close to several beaches to visit, Restaurants and Supermarkets. Paul is very kind and attentive, I highly recommend it!

A good stay in Las Catalinas, very friendly and helpful staff; the house and the beach were all perfect, the only drawback was the hidden expenses they charge you at check-out.

Nice little apartment with a view. Had a lot of small touches like fans, yoga mats and more. Close to town and lots of good restaurants around. Only issues we had was the apartment above was up late and making lots of noise and small child screaming (this could be another Airbnb) and I know this can be common in tourist places. Overall the place worked for our family and had all our needs. We recommend staying here 💙

We stayed here for 5 weeks and loved every minute of our time! The condo was nice and bright, ground level, a/c in every room, mere steps away from a lovely, well-maintained pool. Sunset, our host, was always incredibly easy to deal with. There were a few things that we needed and she always provided them. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fairly well equipped (there are a few things that could make it better, but honestly, it was fine). We highly recommend her condo.

Really cute place! Jorge and Miriam were really responsive. The place is super gorgeous and cozy and at a good location. Would recommend!

Beautiful place and friendly host!

Casa Cameleon was perfect for our Spring Break surf trip! Sharr was very responsive and super helpful! The area was beautiful and so peaceful. We had everything we needed and felt right at home.

If you're looking for a safe place close to the beach, but far enough for some calm, this place is it! The bikes look worn, but they did a perfect job - they had WD40 we sprayed onto the chains. You can hear howler monkeys and different kinds of birds, especially in the mornings - very lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Karen’s place was super clean and provided everything we needed to live comfortably like we do in our own home. Plenty of storage for our clothes and bags which helped the place feel uncluttered. The kitchen included many amenities we were grateful because we love to cook. Everyday we bought fresh amazing fruits and veggies and pastries in the local markets nearby. We were cool and comfortable during our stay and the layout was very nice and spacious. She provided plenty of linens and towels and the charming laundry room off the kitchen sure came in handy. It is centrally located in Samara and one night we watched the night life and a parade from above. What we found so special about Samara was how the people live healthy and have a glow about them. The fresh clean food the air the water is pristine and the people live in harmony with the wildlife.

Beautiful views, clean and well stocked with all needed. We spent 6 nights here and enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the porch, living room and master bedroom. Beach club and restaurant were also great.

Our condo was roomy and very comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen were very clean and well maintained as well as nicely decorated. The pool was very nice too. I liked the gated and secure aspect of the building. It made us feel safe. The location is really central to everything in Tamarindo …. And there is lots of activities and amenities near by close walking distance … no car needed. Overall fantastic place to stay with wonderful host to help you out. Hope to be back again next year ..

David was easy to coordinate with, told us everything we needed to know, and even carried our bags after a long drive and days of adventuring! The condo was spotless and temperature controls were easy. Views out the front windows and from the pools are beautiful. While we weren't there long enough to cook, it looked like the kitchen was very well stocked - thank you for the bag of coffee so we could enjoy a cup by the pool each morning! We appreciated the beach towels and the ability to do our laundry before heading back. Very pleased with our choice of accomodations for our short time in Playa Flamingo!

Jessica's place was amazing! We are a family of 4 and it fit us perfectly! The beds were very comfortable, plenty of blankets, pillows and extra sheets for a pull out bed in the couch (the couch bed wasn't very comfortable but what pull out bed really is, our son loved it and said it perfectly fine). The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all meals. The grocery store is within walking distance. We walked to the pools, played pickle ball at the courts and relaxed in the hot tub. The security guards were very nice and we felt very safe. We will be back!

This is the third time we have stayed at Diana’s place. As a host, she is incredibly responsive and friendly. The condo is perfect for families, the pool is outstanding and the beaches are perfection.

This is a beautiful condo that was well-appointed and spotless. Instructions were very clear and the guide in the condo suggested GREAT restaurants in the area. The clubhouse pool is amazing with a nice golf course view. Access to the beach club pools and beach are definitely one of the highlights. Amazing! Highly recommend for a relaxing and fun experience at Playa Conchal.

Great place to stay. Nice pool and surroundings A little bit of a ride or walk to the beach but doable Huge TV not that we needed but nice. AC worked great, which was welcome in the heat of the day Nice outside eating area Overall, great place to stay
