Villa Luna Grande Authentic Costa Rican Experience
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!!!

Palm Beach Estates 150' to Beach. Best Location!
5 Stars – Unforgettable Beachside Retreat! We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beautiful home in Palm Beach Estates! Dirk was an exceptional host—always quick to respond and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. The house is just steps from the beach, making it easy to enjoy the ocean anytime. We especially loved the outdoor grill area—it was perfect for cooking up the fresh red snapper we got from the local fish truck. So delicious! The pool was a major highlight for our family. The colorful lights at night made it feel magical, and we spent many evenings playing Marco Polo with our girls—such great memories. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The neighborhood felt safe and peaceful, with great access to local spots and the beach just around the corner. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable beach getaway!

Coastal paradise: House with a pool and beautiful view!
The house is spectacular, spacious and super modern. The street is unpaved and it takes a long time to get to the main road. The nearby beaches are very rocky, so we were able to take advantage of the pool and home amenities.

Hibiscus Apartments -Cozy Beach Apartment
We had a good time at Alexandra’s place, she was a great host, super accommodating and flexible. She was one of the friendliest hosts we’ve ever had. It would be helpful to have a car to get around, but only a 15 minute walk to the beach at Playa Grande and a few restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

Stunning Beachfront | Private Pool | Fees included
Spring break 2025 at Casa Olivia was absolutely perfect for our family!! It was a treat to stay at an amazing house in the relaxed and friendly beach town. Walking the beach, surfing and swimming in the ocean with so many quirky, delicious small bars and restaurants was the definition of a laid back beach vacay. We elected to have breakfasts and most dinners prepared by the house manager and her team, and it was an amazing option. Delicious fresh fruit every morning, local dishes all homemade. All nine of us loved the meals. Morena - the ‘house dog’ became a member of our family taking long walks on the beach with us, and kept us company with her happy disposition. Located in the national park, the.beach was pristine, vast and so much wildlife. We even saw a giant green turtle lay her eggs. The host and staff were responsive, friendly, helpful and made our relaxing beach vacation … easy and relaxing. Thank you!!!

4 Bedroom Pool Firepit 8 Guests Hacienda Pinilla
Casa Plumería is a spectacular house with open spaces. A modern one-story house with bright and cool areas, which allow you to greatly enjoy all the spaces. We thought the kitchen was very complete for a beach house and we loved the grill area with an outdoor refrigerator to enjoy the pool. The bonfire pit was definitely a bonus. Everything was clean and tidy, making our vacation perfect. We would definitely stay here again.
