Beachfront vacation rentals in Costa Rica

We had the loveliest time at this beachfront house. The pool is gorgeous - not too warm or cold. It was so refreshing to relax in the pool and stare at the waves. The house is in the best part of Esterillos, right in front of the “mermaid” and the tide pools. The house is well designed and makes use of all the spaces. It was clean and well equipped. You can also walk to the nearby store and there are a few good restaurants just a block or two away walking along the beach. It was an amazing place to share with family, we will be back!

The views were incredible. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay

Great location, a short walk from the beach. Spacious bedrooms and living area. Maud is a very considerate and accommodating host.

We loved our peaceful 3 night stay in Finca de Nada's private open air house right on the Golfo Dulce, immersed in the flora and fauna of the rainforest. It has a well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and hammock, and private areas to swim. We loved exploring the grounds and seeing all of the plants, birds, insects, and other wildlife. We recommend quick dry clothing to stay comfy and candles for tranquil evenings. There were no mosquitos or flies for those concerned. The caretaker, Cholo, was very friendly, arranged our boat shuttle on time, and was unphased by taking us to the house during a storm. We would definitely stay here again.

A large house with an impressive common area. An idyllic place surrounded by nature and with a more than affordable price. Totally recommended. Rosa and Dennis are very flexible and good hosts. We'll be back.

Great location! The Property keepers Jefferson and his mom were wonderful and kind! super sweet and always helpful. amazing fish tacos, recommend having them cook for you one night. soo good!! gorgeous property and so very enjoyable. felt it was prime location for things addy los suenos adventure park, Jaco, Manuel Antonio, Quepos. Right in the middle with a relaxing place to go back to.

We loved staying at Franks place. Its a cute get away and right at the beach and close to cocles amenities. We had a great time talking to Frank and his wife and would highly recommend this place.!

We absolutely loved the charm and rustic feel of Casa Musa. It was simple but exactly what we needed. We had a car but parked it and walked everywhere and felt extremely safe. We’ll definitely return for a longer stay. Pura Vida!

This condo was exceptionally clean with a beautiful view. It was a very brief walk to the Main Street. Everything was literally five minute walk. They are picky with who they host (with good reason) because of how pristine it is. Thank you :)

This place was amazing! We have stayed in hermosa many times and love the area. This trip we traveled with 6 couples and a few kids and had plenty of space. The open area common area is big enough for everyone and having the pool was amazing. We truly appreciated the daily maid service and the recommendation for a private chef was incredible. Liza cooked us 5 breakfasts and 3 dinners and all were spectacular, on time, and had plenty of food for everyone (always had leftovers). Not having to waste time grocery shopping or doing dishes was a huge plus! For anyone who may book her just a heads up that the expectation is to pay for groceries after each meal (she provides receipt) and then you’ll pay the service charge at the last meal (it’s very reasonable). It was a little tough for us to communicate so took us some time to put that info together. Figured it’d help someone else! 10000% want to come back and stay here.

Beautiful apartment, well equipped. Great location with access to the beach, a great view and friendly and helpful host. Will be back!

We had such a lovely time staying at Casa De Celeste. The property was absolutely gorgeous and in close proximity to town and adventures. It was the perfect getaway before our wedding. The caretaker Vincente was so kind and very helpful. He truly made the place feel like home. We will return and are looking forward to that day. I highly recommend this property.

The house and property were as described and expected and we were extremely happy with our stay! We were specifically looking for something outside of the typical tourist spots and Gary’s place did not disappoint. Gary specifically stated that the mosquito population at his house was low and he was absolutely right! Just a few tips and recommendations for other potential visitors. - The kayaks must be taken down the hill to the beach for each use for security reasons. We hesitated to use them until our last day for this reason but we wish we hadn’t. Gary made it very easy and he took them down on his car. It’s an easy paddle to some snorkeling and nice beach areas. You can avoid paying for parking and hauling gear. - there is a public road between the pool area and beach where locals like to park and hang out. Shrubbery gives visual privacy but you may hear music. This did not detract from our stay. Overall we absolutely recommend this house to others.

5 Stars – Best Airbnb I’ve Stayed In! This place was absolutely perfect! The location is excellent—just 50 yards from the beach, which made it incredibly convenient to enjoy the ocean every day. The home itself was spotless, with a beautiful pool and a well-equipped, modern kitchen. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Vidal was amazing—super helpful, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Hands down, this is the best Airbnb I’ve stayed in. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beach getaway!

The view alone is worth booking this villa!! Absolutely incredible. We had plenty of space, everything we needed in the kitchen, and Karen was very responsive and helpful. The shuttle took get to the beach and pool was easy and convenient, and the staff were all very friendly. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend!

loved staying in the ohana villas - a quiet retreat from santa teresa. would definitely come back! surrounded by wildlife and everything you need is in the villa.

This is our second time staying here and it’s been great both times! The place has an amazing location near the beach love how close and walkable it is

Excellent location and spacious condo, right on the beach! We loved the recommendations all within a quick walk! Definitely recommend!

We felt totally comfortable and at home right from the start. Arabella's wooden house on stilts is really beautiful, stylish and cozily furnished - a dream! In addition, the magnificent veranda with rocking chairs, where we spent and enjoyed many hours every day, as you could observe various birds and other animals there. We saw many toucans, iguanas and even a sloth with a baby! We will never forget this sight. We also got along splendidly with our local contact person, the lovely neighbor Chana, and she was always quickly available. All in all we had wonderful and unforgettable 10 days in Arabella's feel-good oasis! We can recommend this house to anyone who loves nature, peace and animals, but at the same time also likes to stay within walking distance of the beach and town.

Gilles place is magical. I loved every minute of my month long stay there and was incredibly sad to leave. The views are incredible and the wildlife is abundant I don’t surf but the beaches here are delightful for long walks and I really enjoyed taking dips in the cool river and floating in the tide pools. I loved the daily workout of climbing the steep hill but if you are not very fit you’d be wise to rent a 4x4 or an ATV to get around during your stay. Lastly, Gilles presence on the property was an added bonus! He has lived in the area for a long time and offers great suggestions. He is very respectful of your space / privacy but quick to respond to questions and consistently jovial if you happen to see him outside. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing peaceful house surrounded by nature right in front of matapalo surf point. Very peaceful, lots of animals during the day and during the night. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom are very nice.

Such a beautiful place with beautiful views. we especially enjoyed the hammocks along the property looking out on the ocean as well as the breakfast which was absolutely amazing. casa sol was spacious, clean & had beautiful decor. we loved the location, which was close to the beach, nature and waterfalls & the little town. would love to come back again!

Casa Baru is a beautiful home and a perfect location for accessing the beach and many great restaurants. When we walked in the door my kids said, “This looks like a celebrity’s house!”. The outdoor space is beautiful and serene and indoors is spacious and comfortable. Juan was super responsive to any questions we had and he had great local recommendations for restaurants. I highly recommend this beautiful home and Juan as a host!

What a wonderful place! Being right on the beach, listening to the waves all day and night – absolutely priceless! Also, the villa is even better than pictured. The folks working there, especially Alejandro, was extremely helpful. We highly recommend Karen and David's serene villa!
