Villa in Garza
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviewsTropical Ocean View Villa in Playa Garza
Erin & Peter are great host, they are great communicating if anything happens or needs to be addressed. House is stunning with a priceless view of the beach. About a ten minute ride into Nosara. You can tell Erin & Peter care about their tenants and that is worth a lot when traveling. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at the Lapa house. Carrillo is a nice quiet village and it’s a < 10 min walk to the beach. The accommodations were comfortable and Pia was very quick to respond to any questions or provide us with anything we needed.

4.33 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsLuxe Modern Villa w/ pool yard at premium location
Wonderful location within walking distance to the beach and to local restaurants. The house was spacious and had a nice shaded pool and patio. The host was hard to get ahold of prior to our arrival, however, we had much better communication once we got to town. The house had plenty of room for a large group— the downstairs bedroom had two bunk beds that slept four people, the second bedroom had a queen size bed and a bunk bed, and the master bedroom had a king size bed. The hosts provided a safe, an alarm and a guard at night during evening hours which helped us feel safe. The design of the house is modern and simple. We loved our stay and would return again.

One of the best airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at! The house was absolutely beautiful and the view never got old. The beds and bedrooms were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped and had everything you need to make meals. We stayed for over a month and felt right at home. The WiFi is very strong and suitable for working. The hosts were absolutely amazing, they helped us instantly with everything we needed and often gave us local recommendations. Overall, couldn’t ask for a better airbnb experience!
Condo in Sámara
4.63 out of 5 average rating, 35 reviewsCasa Sámara
We had a wonderful visit! A beautiful, modern, apartment with an unbeatable view. Many of the comforts of home including appliances, AC, etc. One thing to note, while it was a quick walk walk to the beach, as others mentioned it’s a steep walk down to the stairs. Also, several minutes along a local road with many cars and no shoulder to walk to town. Little tricky to navigate with a stroller or bags. We ended up taxing a taxi for several dollars when needed to avoid walking along the road. Otherwise had a really great time. Maria is a wonderful host and is very knowledgeable about the area. Samara is a charming village with a lovely beach. Hope to be back

Cottage in Marbella
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviewsSnail Hull. Ocean front.
Awesome location with no people. Very isolated which was awesome. You can hear the ocean from the bedroom and living area. We have already booked our return trip. It is an Eden experience. Love the place and will be back soon.
Guesthouse in Nosara
4.74 out of 5 average rating, 54 reviews**garden apartments** 300 mts from PELADA beach
federica's airbnb was a nice clean quiet space for me to rest for 2 nights before my retreat. 300m to playa pelada. close to sunrise coffee a few steps up the road. Frederica lent me some needle & thread so I could fix a hole in my pants. close by as well La bodega if you wanted to cook. when there was a break in the weather (rain) I walked to the beach and found the short path to playa guiones. I would recommend this place nestled in the jungle atmosphere.:)
Bungalow in Sámara
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 126 reviewsItalian style Bungalow with terrace #3
A beautiful, spacious and private bungalow nestled in the jungle. A 15 min walk to a gorgeous beach or the town. I loved waking up to the sounds of the birds and other jungle creatures. The view from the bedroom is gorgeous and the little private deck is an awesome place to have your morning coffee. We also enjoyed the pool and walking around the property and street as there are so many beautiful plants and butterflies.

Villa in Puerto Carrillo
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 94 reviewsStunning oceanfront villa with breathtaking views
Patrick's place was beautiful and remote and just like the photos. Dimas was very nice and attentive. Although we had some communication challenges he helped with all issues that arose. The pros - private home, beautiful beach that you can walk down to, gate (worked most of the time!) felt very secure and safe, monkeys right at the home and other wildlife too, kids loved the pool, AC worked very well in bedrooms. It was great exploring Playa Carilla (10 minute drive) and Samara (20 minute drive). The cons - we know we are in the jungle but not everything is air tight so some bugs in the house (scorpions in sink, lizard and crabs as well) which didn't hurt us but good to know, living areas of house are very stuffy, black mold growing on the blinds, showers leaked and not great pressure, beds hard and uncomfortable (but still slept!), long dirt road leading to the house that was tough to navigate and made the drive much longer that wasn't accounted for (normal for Costa Rica)!
Guesthouse in Marbella
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 84 reviewsCasita for nature lovers
Serene. Truly an escape and lovely experience. Very rural area with a few sodas, markets, small playground, a beach and restaurant very close by (5-10 min). No frills, no noise except monkeys and birds right outside - better than any white noise machine. Very comfortable casita with a fan and air conditioning. The Yoga hut was my favorite, they don’t host classes but to be there and practice on my own was a treat. Yoav is an excellent communicator and such a nice guy. My son didn’t want to leave, just wanted to watch the monkeys all day long.

Condo in Sámara
5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsCasa CEIBA-Apt.BLANCA/WiFi 100Mbps-Washing Machine
I think Elena and Francesco were the kindest hosts I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They made us feel so welcome from the day we arrived- even putting in a small gate to help us corral our small kids. They were always responsive and helpful with local recommendations. The home’s location was perfect for us. It’s a ten minute walk to Playa Cangrejal, and within walking distance to lovely restaurants and to town. I would recommend Casa Ceiba to anyone!

4.65 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviewsTito y Tita House
We enjoyed our Samara stay and Kevins house. The walk to town along the beach was beautiful but we did run into times where you could not pass and walking to town on the roads was far and very difficult. Driving to town was easy. I would recommend this location if you have your own transportation. We had excellent guides and fun with Samara Sea Tours and they operated off of the beach right at this location. Location was ideal for kayaking out to Isle Chora and for Playa Carillo Beach.

Our stay was lovely. The welcome and local information provided by the host was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and a medical doctor contact. The local doctor was very helpful. The bedrooms are cool with air conditioning and the view is breathtaking. Wonderful space to relax and enjoy outside. We all loved the pool! Caretaker and host were both responsive and helpful with questions we had.

4.81 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsCasa Sanchez - Best Nosara Sunset View, 3Bd & 3Ba
We have lived near Guiones beach for 9 months for walkability, but the noisy construction and traffic were enough to send us to the hills! Sanchez has an amazing breeze, lovely view, and obvious character. The kitchen has the amenities we needed to cook meals. Keep in mind the pool is on the side of the house with outdoor steps leading down. Also the third bedroom and laundry have a separate outdoor entrance. Our kids are 8 and 10 and it was a perfect fit for all of us. We would definitely rent again!
Home in Venado
5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsClara Vista, Venado, 30 Acre Vacation Estate
It is a beautiful place. The house is very spacious, well equipped with everything you need and more, plus the pool is always clean. There is a lot of tranquility and zero noise from the third floor you have an incredible view, you should consider that the beaches if they are a little far away and the paths are not in very good condition. Gerardo, his Administrator is very friendly and is always attentive to what you need. In the end, my whole family really enjoyed, and we hope to return.

Villa in Provincia de Guanacaste
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviewsVilla Secret Paradise OCEAN VIEW!!!
We were so fortunate to be able to stay at Pascale’s beautiful villa. Exactly as shown / described but in person it will absolutely take your breath away! We enjoyed the most relaxing week here. Pascale’s villa has everything you need and the small town of Samara was only a couple minutes drive away to get groceries, or enjoy the beach, restaurants and shops. The villa itself is very private but within a small neighborhood community where we felt very safe. Between Pascale, the local house manager and the info centre contact we were provided, the trip planning and finding what we needed (transportation, etc.) was very smooth and easy. We felt well taken care of and they were all extremely helpful and responsive.
