Family-friendly vacation rentals in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

I don’t even know where to begin; I’m so in love 🩷 Mercedes is a 100/100 host! Her apartment is stunning! It is spacious, immaculately clean and located near the most delicious restaurants with only a 5 minute walk to the beautiful Playa Negra. I have had the oppertunity to see iguanas, tucans, beautiful birds and butterflies just feet away from the balcony. Supermarkets are near and the neighborhood is friendly. Mercedes is a pleasure and she takes care of any issues that may occur quickly. I cannot recommend this space enough. It will quickly become your home away from home and you will never want to leave 🥰

Great place to stay and great host!

Beautiful grounds, comfortable and well furnished space. Just one caution for taller guests - things are geared toward those of standard height. Not really a drawback or a deal breaker, just something to be aware of. We’d happily stay here again next time we’re in the area!

This is an incredibly beautiful property and is like a mini-zoo. There are sloths, toucans, frogs, lizards and other animals around you at all times. If you stay for a few days, you’re likely to see more animals here than what you will see in the park. If you like to hike, I would recommend getting a taxi to the Puerto Vargas entrance of the park and walk all the way through the park and right back to the property (about 9 km). Marise was very helpful and a great host. We stayed here with our 3 young children for 10 days and everyone had a wonderful time. It is a very safe and comfortable place - and you have maid service (included in the price) every day!

Very comfortable house, spacious, clean, cool, good shade and breeze Excellent location Near Beach Excellent service 100% recommended

We enjoyed our stay. It was very affordable and Brenda was quick to answer any inquiries. The house is in a really great location.

The location was great, right on the beach.

We had a very nice time with our two children at Andrea's. The accommodation was just the right size for us, the location in nature very heavenly and the surroundings quiet with two beaches within walking distance. Excellent cleaning, communication and support from Andrea. Could not have been better.

One of the best places I’ve ever been to, fell in love with the “rinconcito” forever already planning on our next time there… soooo cozy clean, Prestine, ideal for a romantic get away gives you the sensation of being in a luxury and secluded piece of paradise with the clear waters and golden sand of a private island type of feeling…. Definitely Top list place from now on.

our stay was beautiful ! we stayed for 4 nights but wished we stayed longer. the location was amazing, a 30 second walk from the gate to the beach. and restaurants & grocery were walking distance as well. lots of amenities and large private land

The house is a short and delightful walk to the beach and park. The yard is especially peaceful, with lots of gorgeous plants and unexpected animal friends. Yolanda appointed a kind, local man to greet us and help us with anything house related. The house provided a peaceful stay while exploring Cahuita.

Everything about this place was great. 1 minute walk to the beach. Massage we received from Sofie on the property. was otherworldly. Was really nice to have the co-host meet us to show us around and welcome us. Our daughter fell in love with the cat that came around every night. She named him Theo. Very beautiful location. Beds were very comfortable and AC worked great in each bedroom. Would highly recommend staying here.

Woderful five nights! The garden is amazing. The pool and the patio are perfect. Located in a peaceful and quiet area but still only a few minutes from the main road. We managed to see monkeys. toucans and parrots from the property. Only a few minute drive to Punta Una Beach. Perfect for the three of us (2 adults + infant). Great value!

Lovely place, just like in the pictures. It is easy to do everything on foot as it is very central, it is also a very cozy and comfortable house. We really left looking forward to come back. The super attentive hosts.

A fairly good accommodation for family vacations, ample space and very good attention as well as fast

Our recent stay at the Caribbean Coconut Hotel in Playa Grande, Cahuita, Costa Rica, was nothing short of magical—and a huge part of that was thanks to Silvio! From the moment we arrived, his warm hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine care made our vacation truly special. Silvio went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed whether recommending the best local eats or simply sharing his deep knowledge of the area’s culture and wildlife. His positive energy and dedication to guest satisfaction are what set this hotel apart. The property itself is a slice of paradise—tropical, tranquil, and just steps from the stunning Playa Grande. But it’s the people who make a place memorable, and Silvio’s kindness and professionalism made us feel like family. If you’re looking for an authentic, relaxing, and joy-filled Costa Rican experience, Caribbean Coconut Hotel—and especially Silvio—will exceed all expectations. Pura vida at its finest!

Yves is a standout host. Easily the most responsive and helpful Airbnb host we’ve ever met. From meeting us at checkin and suggesting local recommendations to helping reunite lost teddies Yves went out of his way to look after us. His place is amazing. Beautiful main house, great outdoor kitchen and a lovely central pool. The surroundings are amazing…we had our closest monkey encounter in the back garden! Easy walk into town or to the nearest beach and nature reserve. A real pleasure to visit and definitely a place and host I’d 100% recommend.

What a great place and a great hostess. Had all the amenities we needed and we made a few meals a home. We stayed a week and Erinn organized a mid week clean, which was great. The place was idyllic with lovely gardens, plenty of hot water and wash facilities. Having separate rooms at the end allowed the teenagers their space too. Finally a great thanks to Erinn, she booked restaurant for us the first night, answered all our questions - got us in touch with an excellent guide Juanito. Was there when we needed and not when we didn't thank you Erinn. We went surfing, snorkeling, trekking to a waterfall for swimming and did a round with the local tribes to learn about their culture and chocolate making. We had a fantastic week. If we ever come back to Costa Rica we will be back here. Andrea

Beautiful private property, facing a small creek with tons of wildlive to observe right from the deck. Monkeys, turtles, Tucans and so much more. The pool is big and deep, the kitchen provided all that was needed for a 5 day stay close to the ocean. The bed is huuuuge, and all was just perfect. The hosts were very helpful and responded to all questions super quickly. Parking is secured inside the property. Very good place for a couple to enjoy privacy ;)

The locals were very friendly and helpful in resolving any situation
