Apartment 3
We had a wonderful stay. The condo is modern & spacious. It was a great home away from home. Beds were high quality & comfortable. Manuel was very communicative - always responded quickly. We really liked the location - end of the dirt street, just out of town, but easy walk to all the restaurants, shops, grocery, beach. So quiet, yet convenient. A couple of small things would be nice to have - beach towels & kitchen dish towel (had to use one of our bathroom hand towels.) We all agreed that we really liked the place & would stay there again.

Casa Cocoa Nosara Apartment on the second floor.
One of the best Airbnbs I've been to, very comfortable to work in and an excellent location! My default choice in Nosara

Condo Coco by the Beach - Private Path to Beach
It was incredible! Close to the beach beautiful property. Lots of great restaurants and plenty to do 👍🏻😁

Cozy apartment with ocean and jungle views
Wonderful Airbnb, surrounded by nature and very quiet. Super nicely decorated with everything you need. Great host with lots of recommendations. On our trip through Costa Rica, it was the best Airbnb. 4x4 SUV recommended.

Tobacco Lodge #1 just 5 minutes from Carrillo Beach
Well indicated accommodation, well equipped, there is everything you need and you are not bothered by a vis-a-vis the neighborhood! The view of the vegetation from the hill across the street is nice! Also, the fact that the listing is upstairs has the advantage of not having too many insects in the house!

Down by the Sea beachfront Apartment
Our stay at this beautiful apartment exceeded our expectations! It was so peaceful and private and thoughtfully furnished with everything we needed. Most of our time was spent sitting in the shade at the edge of the beach, resting and enjoying the sea breezes. Our only disappointment was that we could not stay longer!

Surf Shack Penthouse Apartment
Could not have asked for a better place to stay in Nosara. Close to everything, including a short stroll to the beach, restaurants, cafés, hotels and bars. The home felt very safe and secure. The information about the area that the host provided was extremely helpful in putting together an itinerary. The outdoor patio was a highlight as a shady spot to enjoy time outdoors. I would stay here again.

Right on the sand - Sámara, Costa Rica
Staying at Oscar's house was a perfect experience from start to finish! He was at the house upon our arrival and walked us through showing us how things worked, etc... He and his mom stayed next door the whole time and were helpful but not at all intrusive. They even shared some of the fresh fish that his mom caught with us which we cooked for one of our dinners at home one night! He also let us use his beach chairs and umbrellas, which was very helpful. The house was exactly as described and well stocked. I am VERY picky in terms of cleanliness, and it was very clean! Having two showers, toilet stalls, and bathroom sinks was very helpful for our family of 6. We also appreciated the outdoor shower to rinse the sand off. Town and several great restaurants were an easy 10 minute walk down the beach. We felt very safe in Samara, but we did bring in everything off the porch at night like Oscar recommended. I would absolutely rent this house again in a heart beat. We loved it here!!!

THE BEACH HOUSE, recently renovated!
We loved our stay at the Beach House! Absolutely amazing location at the beachfront, empty beach, nice garden area and cute house. Note regarding insects: We did get visited by a lot of bugs in the house (especially ants) but when we sealed the front door were to able to limit the number.

Rancho de Linda at Playa Azul (Blue Beach)
Great place to spend a relaxing vacation. Douglas was very responsive and the property was in a beautiful location. If you arent familiar with Costa Rica, be prepared the roads and long travel times. The location is in a beautiful location, but doesnt have alot of locations near the property. We were looking for that so it was perfect. Douglas' instructions and recommendations were very helpful and we really enjoyed the pool on property. We also had private chefs and massages on site which were great.

beach house Costa de Oro
Had a wonderful experience Staying at The Beach house. pretty much you have your own private beach!Sabine and Nico are great hosts. A true tropical Costa Rica experience.

Beachfront Bliss! Steps to the beach.
This is a spacious home in a private, remote, beautiful location. The beach view is lovely and the pool was wonderful. The kitchen has lots of dishes but no pantry items. Make sure to buy those as well as groceries well before getting close to the house. The hotel near by is a nice food option but not cheap. We loved the sunsets.

Home in Playa Guiones Nosara. Steps from the beach
This is a wonderfully stock Airbnb. It has everything you need for a week at the beach. It is located in the heart of the town and is easy to walk to restaurants and bars. We could not have asked for a better host and experience.

Casa Sandralina
Exactly what we wanted for a place to stay for our 3 nite visit to Samara. With the beach literally steps away, a mini supermarket next door & an abundance of restaurants all within walking distance, you can’t go wrong with this airbnb. We enjoyed coffee in the mornings in the private & gated patio. It was perfect for our mother-daughter trip with each of us having our own bedroom & bathroom. Thanks Victoria (& Steve)!

Modern villa with pool 350 m from the sea
Everything was excellent!!! I think everything is better than in the photos, it met all my expectations! 100% recommended!! The place is too nice and cozy

Brand new apartment #2 exclusive beach front
The best recommendation one can give is a repeat reservation. This was our second visit to Villa Majagua and we will definitely reserve it again when we return. The property itself is located on Playa Garza and the one minute walk to the beach is through a beautiful garden awash with birds and butterflies. The property is but a five minute walk to a cafe, restaurant, and grocery store. The apartments are all clean with well equipped kitchens. The showers have great pressure and abundant hot water. The beds are comfortable and each unit has a small porch and laundry facilities. There is parking for cars. The hosts are readily available and responsive as they live on the property. We thoroughly enjoy Playa Garza.

New Build, breathtaking ocean view Condos
Great place. Beautiful view. It did not make a difference for us but the elevator was not working most of the time we were there. The place is on the 4th floor. I suggest confirming the elevator if you have folks in the party who don't / cannot do stairs. Again, a great place and we would gladly stay there again.

Brand new apartment #3 exclusive beach front
Lovely spot with a great price. We had a really fun two weeks here. It's a beautiful property with a private path to the beach. The yoga platform and pool were both so nice. The kitchen was basic but had everything we needed. We slept really well with a comfortable king bed, blackout curtains, and AC in the bedroom. We loved the neighborhood, in particular being able to walk to Perozah, Estrellitas, and Malacrianza for vegan food, Blue Garza for supplies, and South Guiones for sunset. Claudia was very easy to coordinate with. Would definitely stay here again!

Walk to everything, Pelada Beach, Guiones Beachside Condo
Our family (2 adults, 2 children) had a relaxing, wonderful stay at Kd's beautiful home. Detailed check-in instructions and a curated restaurant, shop and activity list were appreciated. We always felt safe, parking couldn't have been easier, the condo was spotless and had everything we needed - including comfortable mattresses and pillows, a Berkey water filter, blender and access to washers and dryers. I'm super sensitive to fragrance and was so happy with all of the products at the condo. We saw a family of howler monkeys from the pool, a cutie coati right outside our door and we met so many of Kd's kind neighbors. Fresh juice and smoothies are right across the road, Sunrise Coffee is a very quick walk for incredible breakfast and lunch and the walk to La Luna is part of the magic. Kd is a an excellent communicator and host- so grateful to have stayed at her home.

Residencia Anita - modern beach condo with pool
Great stay! Easy walk to the beach and to town. Great shared pool area with very friendly residents within the condo complex. Definitely recommend staying here for a quiet and relaxing Costa Rica vacation.

Brand New apartment #1 exclusive beach front
Wonderful Condo. Hosts are very kind and understanding and the location is perfect for those looking for a relaxing getaway. being able to walk to the beach very quickly is a huge plus.

Casa Flores (top floor, renovated, great location)
Boris’ s place was a beautiful and comfortable space. Very close to Playa Pelada and very walkable to another bigger beach. Was a quiet building but some noise did carry from el pepperoni on New Year’s Eve but that only comes around once a year. Was very comfortable for our family of four and there was plenty to do in the area! Beds were VERY comfortable and linens were great! I would recommend!

Entire condo with stunning ocean view!!! ☼ ☼ ☼
We had a wonderful stay in this spacious condo. The view is breathtaking and the place has everything we needed. Even on a hot night the pool has a bit of a breeze, as you are up above the main town. As long as you don’t mind the stairs , the place is absolutely wonderful. Parking is included and the gated entrance is easy. We had a great time !
