Villa vacation rentals in South America

From booking to departure, Kathy’s responsiveness and proactive communication made our stay at Villa Colibri flawless. She provided detailed recommendations for transportation, excursions, and restaurants, handling most logistics and ensuring every need was met beyond expectations. The villa itself is stunning—better than advertised, with breathtaking views from the infinity-edge pool. The Alexa sound system was a thoughtful addition, and the pool was meticulously maintained daily. Everything needed for relaxation was provided. Massages at the nearby Beach Club, right on the beach, were affordable and incredibly relaxing—a must-try! Liana and Nerys were the real stars of our stay, keeping the villa pristine and serving delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented breakfasts, snacks, and drinks daily. Their warm hospitality greatly elevated our experience! For a relaxing escape with spectacular views, incredible food, and unmatched service, Villa Colibri is #1. We can’t wait to return!

This was our fourth time staying at Raj's place, it has become our primary vacation destination. It's super private, the pool is pristine, the house is well stocked and always clean and cozy. The onsite property manager is amazing and always available to help in addition to Raj's excellent communication and tips. The onsite restaurant on the beach is fantastic with a huge menu and amazing cocktails, and the mini-super has the basic foods and drinks supplies you need. Be sure to use the fresh limes on the trees along the driveway! We love this spot and will be back!

beautiful villa that is just steps to the beach. comes clean and the service with the company is great.

Absolutely recommend staying at the Pure View Villa. We were amazed by spectacular views of the rainforest. Waking up early to watch the Scarlet McCaws fly in & land right outside the home was breathtaking. Also saw Tucans, Green Macaws, and much more. Rachel and Brendon were so helpful every step of the way planning our stay. With their contacts for excursions, massages, Private Chef Chino and more. They have truly thought of everything to make their guests stay stress-free and wonderful. And the layout of the home was convenient for our two families with kids ranging from 5-19. Property manager Moises was great even before arriving. Answering any questions we may have had. Ease of finding the house, checking in/open and ready for us. We enjoyed Private Chef Chino & Yorjany Montero All day & a nice dinner before leaving. The entire week we had plenty of adventures within 20-40mins. Groceries 20mins. Google worked Great. Truly was a relaxing stay and we can't wait to return.

This is our 4th time in Aruba and our stay this time was by far the best. Great location, great house and back yard. Host is responsive. We hired the private chef for one dinner from chefs Aruba and could not recommend enough ! Such a great trip!

Our family stayed at Melanie’s Villa following Christmas had a wonderful time! The villa itself is as described. Modern and well appointed. It has a lots of windows to let the sunshine in. It’s well laid out and has plenty of space for six people to enjoy themselves and feel comfortable. There are nice customizations to the property- like a rooftop lounge, and separate tiki bar and full dining area outside. All lovely additions to the property. We really enjoyed the pool, which is necessary in the Costa Rican climate. It’s private and safe and felt very comfortable at the property. Playa Grande itself is a quiet surf town with a laid back vibe. We loved everything about our time at Villa Guanacaste. Melanie was also very friendly and responsive and offered many helpful tips before our stay. Thanks again - we can’t wait to come back 😊

The house is very beautiful and comfortable, beds are very nice. And Roberta prepare an amazing breakfast she is very nice and respectful. The pool are cleaning daily which is amazing. The only small improvement I would recommend would be the showers. Our family had an amazing time we recommended the place to friends and would definitely go back.

We stayed at Pi.casa over New Years and had the best time. The location is private.. we enjoyed being away from Santa Teresa and in between ST and Montezuma. Sereen our co-host and concierge was so wonderful.. she helped us find an incredible chef to come to the villa for private meals, a surf instructor and private boat for snorkeling and bioluminescence (a must) and was immediately responsive to our needs throughout stay. So, so wonderful. The place is stunning, view is remarkable and the home is perfectly designed and well laid out.. loved the outdoor showers.. we did have some issues with the power going out quite frequently.. but as to be expected with rains. Would definitely stay again and hope to soon!

Great house for a large group or family vacation

Wonderful stay at this absolutely beautiful condo. It was more than expected! We cooked breakfast and supper in the well appointed kitchen. Our teenagers enjoyed having their own space - the beds were comfortable and linens very nice. All of the furnishings were top notch. The location can’t be beat. The beach was steps away and this condo has the best view. Our kids enjoyed the pool, the beach, and use of the boogie boards, kayak, and paddle board daily. We had Coco Loco delivered and ate at nearby restaurants - Margaritaville, Camparino, Surf Box etc. Between Alejandro and Blue Zone and the concierge at The Palms, our every question and request was taken care of. They booked transportation for us, helped to rent us a golf cart for the week, booked excursions, gave area recommendations and just made our whole trip seamless. Thank you for a wonderful first trip to Costa Rica.

Awesome spot, will definitely come back!

JUST GO… you WILL NOT WANT TO LEAVE!!! It was our family vacation (3 teens- 18, 16 & 13 and they all had a blast! The villa, resort, location and Dania exceeded all of our expectations! It has the feel of an upscale all inclusive with the cleaning service, tiki bar, water activities, gym, massages, concierge, 2 pools set on a gorgeous beach with amazing sunny skies and sunsets! We rented a golf cart to easily go to the marina (5 min away) for shopping, restaurants and our fishing excursion (which is also walkable) and also to the neighboring towns for dinners. Patagonia and Hemmingways are a must!! Definitely have Dania prepare an amazing meal (she cooked our fresh tuna we caught). She also handled our transportation and booked our excursions and was so easy to communicate with! This trip was the perfect combo of adventure and relaxation at a beautiful location! We will definitely be back to Villa 21-perfect location, great villa and amazing hosts!!

The view of Medellín was absolutely incredible—far beyond what photos could ever capture. You can see the entire city in stunning detail, unlike views of all of Medellin from Las Palmas, where the details are lost, this view is one few have seen. Local friends and family also agreed: es la mejor vista de Medellín que he visto! This location offers the perfect vantage point, close to amazing spots like Sabaneta, Envigado, and some of Medellín’s best hangout areas. Francis, the host, was not just accommodating but truly a guide. She helped me navigate everything—from local travel and great food spots to arranging a chef and even understanding how to handle certain situations with ease. When a water hose bib broke late at night, she arrived immediately to fix it. Her communication, responsiveness, and care made everything so seamless. Francis, thank you so much—you went above and beyond! I can’t wait to return and stay here

Been to Santa Teresa several times and this house was the best I have had the chance to stay in. Great location, super central and close to the main street (30 sec in ATV or Car, and 2 min walk). The view is breathtaking especially for the sunsets, the house is in the middle of the jungle, in a very peaceful environment. Everything was perfect. Jony was super responsive. I will be back 100%.

Had an amazing stay with my family. We had some issues working the shower and other small things and Kevin came to ensure we got everything taken care of which I greatly appreciated. The home is gorgeous just as pictured and it was walking distance from the Marriott where we got breakfast a couple mornings, overall you will not regret this stay :)

A truly perfect spot for our multi generational family vacation! To my mind there is only one negative influence at this property. It is not something the hosts can control, and I’ll get it out of the way first here: The road/street is under construction/development, and there are crews working from 7am to 6pm everyday. If you’re out and about during the day (like us), it won’t make a significant impact. With that out of the way, all other influences were perfect! The property is superbly designed and laid out. Very private, with monkeys literally swinging through the trees behind the bedroom pods. The main house provides a stylish and comfortable place for the crew to gather, plan, play games and cook. Stocked with everything you need, and spotless. The pods provide a quiet, private and secure space to retreat to for reflection and sleep. Pool is perfect to cool off. Property is easy walk to every activity for young and old, no hills! Overall, best imaginable spot for us! Big thanks!

Doña Gloria and Don Jose, as well as the other girl who helped us in the kitchen, are incredible. The place is very nice but they really are the ones who make a difference

It was an excellent place for a family reunion. Some of the rooms were locked when we arrived, but after communicating with Miguel he quickly resolved the issue. The property is beautiful, quiet, and very clean. Alfonso (who is on-site) took care of us well by making sure we had everything. I highly recommended it. Thank you Miguel!

The stay was nothing but awesome, Ms Helen energy is absolutely amazing and her place outstanding, would definitely recommend , I felt right at home, I would definitely come back

As amazing as the listing looks for Barbara and Carlos’ place, it is even better in person! We immediately felt at home & comfortable. We enjoyed cooking, hanging out in the pool, listening to music (great Bose system), & playing card games when we weren’t out exploring the island. So grateful Barbara coordinated the shopping for our first run of grocery needs - a short list of goods, but saved us precious vaca time. Love the CMart store (a drive, but worth it)- not busy and easy to navigate. Produce cost is high on island, but worth it. Great location for exploring the island -many gorgeous beaches in every direction. Driving is easy- no traffic lights, just roundabouts. Barbara and Carlos went above and beyond to make our trip perfect for our family! So grateful for all the suggestions, communications and extras they provide. We all want to come back again. Book it- now! ps- Thank you for ensuring we could watch the football game too!

This place was beautiful! Would absolutely stay again- we didn’t love the rule about keeping the gate open overnight, didn’t seem like a great security measure, but otherwise 10/10!

From the moment we stepped inside, it became evident that this was no ordinary Airbnb. The carefully curated artwork throughout spoke volumes of Stephen's discerning taste, his profound love for Costa Rica, and his genuine desire to share this paradise with others. The condo itself was a haven of comfort, thoughtfully equipped with every conceivable amenity imaginable. Our mornings were spent on the expansive balcony, poring over maps and plotting our beach adventures for the day. The afternoons were idyllic, spent luxuriating in the private pool and gently swaying in the outdoor rockers until the evening settled in. While the resort boasted a pools, bars, and restaurants, we found ourselves utterly captivated by the allure of the nearby beach.We dined at charming beachside eateries, savoring the local flavors and enjoying the leisurely pace of life. The absence of long drives at night added a touch of tranquility to our stay. In essence, this was a perfect escape.

More than we expected This place is a dream, while it is somewhat away from the city it is a perfect space to disconnect having all the comforts (I would say even from a hotel). Irma is an excellent host and Luis (the housekeeper) is not to say. The house is comfortable, it has all the amenities they offer and even more we would say; if there is any doubt they are always ready to solve it or help if there are problems. The views of the beach are beautiful with direct access and the private pool is fully available (including the person in charge cleaning it daily). It is recommended to take aquashoes since the beach has piedritas. As a recommendation to come by car or contact Irma for mobility recommendation as to enjoy other activities in the surroundings; there is also a nearby hotel where you can enjoy rich food and drinks, otherwise they can bring their food since the house has almost all the necessary equipment to cook.

Laura was a wonderful host friendly respectful and always available for any questions we had . She was always available no matter what time we contacted her. This house was everything and more than we could ever have dreamed of. Definitely will come back again we loved Costa Rica and would highly recommend this beautiful villa. Thank you for everything Laura your the best
