Villa vacation rentals in Gulf of Nicoya

We had a great stay at Villa Loulou 🌸 the house is very well located, it has the best configuration when traveling with kids, the best view, and everything has been decorated and maintained with such great care 🌸 and last but not least, Clair and Christophe are the nicest and most helpful hosts, we will definitely be back 🌸

This was by far one of the most beautiful AirBnB's we've every stayed at. It really felt like a mini resort. We had two families, and everyone was able to have their own room and space. Most of our time was spent in the gorgeous pool or in the outdoor kitchen. The pictures are accurate, but everything is more wonderful than the pictures. There is wildlife everywhere - gorgeous birds, geckos, howler monkeys down the street. The pantry off the kitchen protects your food, and we had no problems with bugs (we were told it was the time of year). We did have a couple of friendly birds that begged for food, but they were amusing to watch. The location, though remote, is in a gated community and was very safe. It was only a 10 minute walk to a beach that seemd almost private...not more than a few dozen people at a time on a beach that had to stretch for a mile. Do not hesitate to rent this place!!!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Villa Santa Terese with the convenience of the beach and local Rocamar restaurant when we didn't fell like cooking or wanted a cold smoothie after surfing! The Villa was super clean and had basic kitchen supplies. While the walk to town wasn't bad, we typically drove as we were always coming and going through town. The pool made for a nice repose from the saltwater beach. Would definitely stay again!

Boho Villa was the dream location and house. It is modern with all the comforts and design elements that make it chic, breezy and amazing. The banana trees that sit in front of the ocean view with the infinity pool in front are heavenly. Monkeys also play in the branches. Lucy our house manager was so kind and friendly and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. We have stayed all over Costa Rica for decades and this gem just north of Santa Teresa at Playa Hermosa was by far our favorite place. We will back back for sure!!!! 5 stars all around.

Great place to stay if you are looking to relax. The place is surrounded by a beautiful forest and has a big pool. Good internet connection and appliances, you can cook easily if you want. Nice restaurants and supermarkets pretty close, still not walkable, you will need a car (not 4x4 required). Very nice hosts who respond in a matter of minutes.

The condo was exactly as described. We rented a golf cart which made it easy to zip around in the heat. Wonderful host with great recommendation’s. Can not wait to visit again!

Absolutely wonderful stay! I visited with a few of my college friends, and everything was seamless and smooth from start to finish. The place was picturesque in every way—beautiful, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It was also perfectly located, close enough to the beach and nearby restaurants to make everything convenient and hassle-free. The host was outstanding in communication, always responsive and helpful, ensuring that we never had any lingering, unanswered questions. Overall, a flawless experience—I highly recommend it!

Amazing House! No AC in the lounge area but managed! A bit too many chemicals in the pool but we let the Tico know and he lightened up. All in all a amazing house

This home is beautiful and spacious. If you’re looking for a private more secluded area this is perfect for you. We were able to fit comfortably and the house had everything we needed. Diane and the concierge team were very responsive before and during the trip.

This two-story condo #3 is a gem of a place on one of the flattest, accessible beaches on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast, Playa Flamingo. The Palms condo community is a mix of renters and owners - everyone was friendly without being overly intrusive. The onsite management was professional and responsive. There are a lot of staff onsite all day (bartender, groundkeepers, construction, etc.), so please know this when considering your privacy preferences. Condo #3 is situated toward one of the ends, so beachfront is in front of it vs the pool area. Steps from the fitness center and outdoor free equipment storage/massage tent. The condo was clean and comfortable. The master bed and pillows were very comfortable. Two picky things I suggest are charging stations for each nightstand and an outlet in the master bathroom for a hairdryer/electric razor. A 15 minute walk from the marina, and several shopping and restaurant options. Would highly recommend The Palms, especially unit 3.

We had a wonderful stay with my family of 6. Safe and beautiful area just steps away from the beach. Walkable activities and restaurants.

Our stay at Antonio’s place was nothing short of amazing. Antonio was super helpful and responsive to all requests. He made our stay stress free as he provided awesome recommendations for a driver as well as a personal chef for my birthday. Cannot recommend this place enough! If you’re considering it for your stay in Costa Rica, do it. :)

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.

This house was amazing! Truly at great set up for a group of adults or families wanting their own space but also a place to hang out together. The owners were super helpful and took great care of us the entire stay! We had a few hiccups on the trip and they there extremely fast on responding and getting the issues resolved. They even bought us dinner and drinks one night for a few small inconveniences. This house by far has been the most time we spent at the actual house in during a vacation. Beautiful and relaxing.

Jean Marc, Luca and his team were excellent, so helpful and friendly! We loved our stay and would highly recommend to everyone!

Ricardo was a great host, he was very nice with us, provided clear instructions and his house is beautiful. The place is very quiet and relaxing, it has a stunning view and it is in a great location! Additionally, having security and cleaning services included was very helpful. Overall, staying at Ricardo’s place was a 20 out of 10 experience!!

My friends and I (group of 8 ladies) stayed here for one night at the end of our girls trip vacation in Costa Rica. Lily’s house is absolutely gorgeous. We all had plenty of room and enjoyed our last day in CR. It is close enough to walk to a Fresh Market. The grounds keeper, Nery, was available for any of our questions and very helpful and friendly. It was very close to the airport. Loved our time there and we all wished we could have spent another day or two there to enjoy the beautiful house.

Lovely home very spacious and fully equipped from top to bottom. Super comfortable. Great beds and luxurious sheets. Beautiful pool. Wildlife everywhere! Howler monkeys and beautiful birds. And some amazing iguanas

Visited with family including Young kids. We got delayed a few times on the road and Joshua was very accommodating and understanding. He met us at the house to go through all amenities, questions and to give us a sense of what is around us. The place is well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside and watching the birds (including daily macaw fly by), the pool and the hamacs. We were fortunate to see the volcano as well from the patio are as we had a few clear days. La Fortuna is minutes away by car and enjoyed the local Panaderia (bakery) and got some basics at the Sonafluca supermarket which is 3 minutes away by car.

The condominium is beautiful very quiet with private beach, restaurant and supermarket there was no need to leave the house very nice, improved to the photos of advertising and Laura was always attentive to my inquiries and very kind allowed me to be with my 4 dogs. That was the best. We definitely want to come back. Thank you for letting us be in her house.

The house is super nice, clean and well-equipped. We didn't have any complaints

We loved the place, it was super clean, everything was very nice, they carried out a suggestion we gave them perfectly. There was a simple problem and they were able to solve it quickly. Everything was perfect. Thank you Super recommended place

Place was better than shown, host is great and area is very convenient especially if you are looking for a family vacation in a quiet place.

Esteban’s house & Flamingo Beach were perfect for my family of 5 for a week stay. Some notes for future travelers: - There’s two king beds and one queen - Washer and dryer are onsite in a room just outside the unit. We used it twice. - Road in was intimidating the first time but once we found the house we loved it. You will too. - The kitchen has all the hardware you need to cook but is limited on essentials beyond salt/pepper. We ate most meals at the house. - We flew into Liberia airport and rented a small SUV. If I come back I’ll go to the Walmart by the airport after we get our rental as it’s better stocked than the smaller markets near the house. They were fine, just smaller selection. - The walk to the beach is 1/4 mile (steep route to the left) or 1/2 mile (less steep route to the right). We took both. - There are two pools onsite. The infinity pool has a million dollar view. My kids loved it. - Daily Monkey/bird watching from the house & pool was a highlight for my kids.
