Vacation rentals in Santa Elena

This is a magical home in a quiet location with beautiful surroundings. The host is very kind and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again.

Pedro's house was absolutely perfect and really made our trip to Monteverde special. The house wasn't too difficult to find with his instructions and our 4x4. Everything looked exactly like the photos. Everything was in perfect working order - hot water, great water pressure, super clean, nice linens, comfortable bed, beautiful deck and view... we felt super comfortable here, and it was a stress-free stay! The location was amazing, because you really feel secluded in the cloud forest, but you are also just a 5 minute drive into town with all the restaurants & shops. Felt extremely safe. We actually changed our trip dates in order to stay here, and I'm so glad we did. Pedro also had awesome communication, and our experience could not have been better! We miss sitting on the back porch at night with a blanket, listening to the sounds of the forest. Would highly recommend this one!

So peaceful, incredible views! We loved being able to open the windows and have fresh air at night. We loved the hot tub. The home is beautifully designed, very comfortable and decorated and Ingrid is an excellent host. Definitely need a 4x4 in Sport mode to manage the short gravel road, but well worth it! About 20- 30 minutes to town. All a part of the adventure!

Cute little place! The host was very nice and answered any questions quickly. Would come again.

We loved this AirBnB so much. While a bit simpler inside than some others we stayed at, the view of the lake and volcano are fantastic and we had everything we needed. It also has 2 beds which means it can fit up to 4 people and you can’t beat the price, especially since breakfast is included. The food at the restaurant was amazing too, we had 2 dinners there and they were superb. The ceviche and tuna tartar were especially good. Lots of activities within 15-20 min driving. Definitely a great stay.

Jarvey’s place was perfect for our group of 5 staying in Monteverde. It was spacious, clean, and we especially loved using the hot tub. The view was incredible. Jarvey was extremely responsive and even gifted our group a cute welcome basket! He helped arrange taxis for our group as well, and made the stay very comfortable for us.

The space was clean and cozy and nice to be far enough off the main road

Casita Meg has an incredibly beautiful view by day and glorious sunsets at dusk. The casita is well equipped for pleasant stays and the hosts are responsive to any needs you might have. This was my second longer stay and I hope to be able to return.

We enjoyed our stay! It's a nice, clean home with scenic views in an authentic, safe community. We bought a few basics for breakfast (eggs, queso blanco, milk, coffee, juice) at the nearby community mini-market (a few blocks away) so we could make breakfast at the place. If you want fresh fruits & veggies, you should stop at a bigger market on your way (La Fortuna? Or El Castillo?). We ate dinner twice at the nearby La Terraza restaurant, which was good. We loved the batidos de fruta (fruit smoothies/shakes - 'de leche' ('of milk') . My favorite is the batido de papaya (de leche). My kids also tried the strawberry, pineapple, maracuya (and I think others, too!). We enjoyed the dishes we had there, too. Internet at the house can be spotty, but there's some cell reception, too. If you're on vacation and just checking your email from time to time and researching things to do in the area, it's fine; if you're looking to be a digital nomad, this is probably not the place for you.
