Vacation rentals with a pool in Costa Rica

Sarah’s place is amazing, we will definitely be back. This house has oceanfront views, a beautiful yard and a great pool to make our stay very relaxing and peaceful! We saw macaws, a variety of birds, iguanas, lizards, coati’s and a mama sloth that the kids would run and try to spot every morning. The property manager was so friendly and helpful and would crack coconuts for us and spot the sloth when we couldn’t find her. Sarah would check in and see if we needed anything. She has a book at the house with wonderful recommendations of things to do in the area and places to visit that were reasonably close! We ate at Coquito’s frequently. They are the nicest restaurant owners with amazing food! We loved swimming in the pool and ocean every day. We enjoyed our daily beach strolls and didn’t feel like leaving much because of how peaceful and quiet Zancudo is, especially at Sarah’s place! I can’t say enough good things about this place, especially if you are looking for a relaxing getaway!

Me and husband stayed at Axels beautiful place for our honeymoon for 11 days. It was even more beautiful than the photos if you can believe it. Waking up to the view of the infinite pool and jungle, the sounds of the animals, just breathtaking. Anytime we needed anything (which wasn’t often) axel responded immediately. Luis was also incredible! We decided not to rent a vehicle and cab everywhere and he hooked us up with the most punctual, friendly driver who came to get us atleast once a day. I recommend trying Luis sisters fresh fish (10/10) We were lucky enough to see monkeys, parrots, lizards, and coaties all from the pool. We did a few tours like horse back riding, went out for dinner most nights, but ultimately during the day we were at the house enjoying the sun! We will definitely be back in the future to enjoy anniversaries. Thank you Axel for have an exceptional place that truly felt like an oasis!

Chris is the Man! For context, my girlfriend and I had another bnb in the area that lost power and water for 2 days! I had to book an emergency stay and Chris accommodated and responded swiftly even though it was very short notice. We fell more in love with his property than our original one lol. 10/10 stay loved the vibezz.

We had a great visit at the Bahia Ballena house . The house was super clean, spacious and had everything we needed. We were also allowed to check in earlier which was a big plus. Lauren/Michelle were super responsive. The location of the house was perfect- not too far from anything. The nature around was breathtaking. My teenagers loved the pool! We surely would stay again. Highly recommended! Lauren, thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Beautiful property! Our family had a wonderful stay. Marlen was a very nice host and responsive to all our needs. We would highly recommend staying here. You get the secluded mountain feel while being close to the airport.

Absolutely fabulous host and stay. Sophie is extremely detail oriented and leaves no stone unturned. From the moment we booked, to our departure she was thorough and precise. The home was very peaceful and very well maintained and exactly as described. We all loved the patio and the shared pool and community area. As an extra treat, my two daughters were able to do a short painting session with Sophie at the end of our stay. Great stay for families or couples looking to get a bit off the beaten path and enjoy a tranquil environment. Would definitely recommend this host and this home when visiting Playa Grande. Local guide book and FAQ's were also helpful.

Wow loss of words for this stay . Super Memorable and just overall Amazing. Amazing place. Amazing location, amazing host. Checked all the boxes. The house is stacked with everything you need, even with the new things you didn’t know you need . . Felt super safe . It was definitely an experience to arrive . But if I can say this without over exaggerating… it’s super worth it . Don’t be overwhelmed. The hard work the host has put into this place should NOT go unnoticed.

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home tucked into the jungle. The setting is very serene, with the sound of the river always in the background and the plethora of wildlife all around. The bed was very comfy, so a good nights rest was practically guaranteed. There are a few things I would note for anyone considering the home, especially if this is your first visit to the area. It is a 10+ minute rocky drive to the home off the main road, not a big deal with a sturdy car. Especially during rainy season, there’s a good chance you’ll lose power at some point, but seems to be restored quickly. Most places, including this home, discouraged you from flushing toilet paper, an adjustment from home. Being that this place is so small, there’s not a ton of privacy between the bathroom and bedroom, and the living area is not meant for lounging. That’s what the outdoor spaces are for! This was an experience unlike any other we’ve had in our previous visits to CR, I highly recommend it!

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 :)

The place was exactly what we needed for our vacation. It was convenient and in a quiet safe place away from the hustle and bustle from the down town of Coco. We had a car and a parking spot and we were a few blocks away from the closest restaurant. We were the only ones there for the week. The other units were not occupied and we had the pool to our selves. The pool was nice to cool off at the end of the day. The unit had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked great.

The accommodation was beautiful, in peaceful surroundings. A short walk to the beach, restaurants and cafés. We enjoyed our stay so much!

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

We enjoyed our stay here! The place is well appointed and large and comfortable (the bed was super comfortable and that’s always important to me). Location was close to beach and lots of shops and restaurants (please note it’s down a dirt road so plan your shoes accordingly). We enjoyed many of the recommendations given including Falafel Bar, Breaking Bread, Little Lucha (for $3 taco Tuesday) and Baula.

I stay in this apartment frequently when traveling through San José. The amenities and neighborhood are both wonderful

Great host. Very quick to respond. Clean condo with beautiful views of San Jose city. It’s a must. Jorge is a great guy. Beautiful place.

We were 2 adults and 2 kids staying in Sean's beautiful place. It's big, plenty of space and a balcony with unbelievable views! The best thing was a private beach just a few steps away, perfect for relaxing and swimming. Another bigger beach is about 10-15 minutes to walk or a couple minute drive. We came during off season so it was very quiet which was perfect for us. We also walked about 10 min to the Marina for a boat tour which was very convenient. Thank you, Sean!
