Cottage vacation rentals in Nicoya Peninsula

Andrea was an exceptional host, very helpful and responsive. The place was more beautiful than the photos and the attention to detail inside was very nice. I highly recommend a stay here for a very peaceful, restful, and for the amazing views and experience.

We absolutely loved this place. It is well maintained and has everything you need. It feels like home. The woodwork in the house is so beautiful. The property is gorgeous and has trails to explore. Carolina and Manuel arranged to get some specially requested food for our stay. They had the food there for our arrival which was so helpful. Manuel took us on an awesome night hike. Carolina’s husband also gave us a tour of the property too. Carolina and her family really go out of their way to make this a welcoming place. They grow amazing coffee on the property which we really enjoyed. They also shared their garden veggies and the bananas. We stayed 4 days and wished we had stayed longer. We found it easy to go into Monteverde for activities like coffee tours, cloud forest, animal sanctuary el Tigre waterfall, etc. There are some great restaurants close by the house and of course in monteverde too. We enjoyed ordering homemade empanadas from cafe Horizonte for breakfast.

We stayed at Juan's recently and were very happy! The unit itself is gorgeous with everything meeting our needs, and the host was very responsive, helpful and made the check-in and check-out process very straightforward with clear instructions. I would definitely recommend this unit and would stay here again!

Great stay 15mins drive from La Fortuna. The balcony overlooking the plantation was just spectacular. The room was cozy, as described and Grace made amazing breakfast each morning. Highly recommended!

It matches the description, the house has all the conveniences to enjoy as a family. We traveled with a baby and pets and did not have any problems.

This was an amazing AirBnB there is far more to do and enjoy on the farm than you expect. The farm is enormous and there is a short hike down a little hill through the jungle that leads down to a big open area for cattle where you can cross a stream and enjoy the beautiful nature. Also there is this great, cheap restaurant called Victorino's which is relatively close.

We stayed for two weeks and felt sad to leave. Yuliana and her parents were great hosts, always responsive and helpful, recommending places to eat and visit and the occasional gift. Throw into that their dogs who asked for little more than a belly rub for their friendship. The cottage itself was as described. Large screened windows kept the place aired and let the sounds of nature flood in. The lack of aircon meant it was often hot especially upstairs and in the afternoon but what you get in return is a deeper connection to your surroundings. This included visits from capuchin and howler monkeys, birds, bats, toads and countless butterflies, and a diverse range of insects. The screens are pretty good at keeping the latter outside, and you can close the windows. Wi-Fi is decent and other amenities as described. With the heat we didn’t cook much but the option was there. We’d 100% return for the hospitality, the closeness to nature and the dogs.

Quiet place, clean, the horse riding it's perfect, I recommend the place

The little blue house is exactly what one needs. Has a working kitchen, quiet, and best of all the beach is right there. It was nice to have a peaceful place to return to after busy excursions into the cities or whatever else. Felt like a home away from home. Would definitely visit again

My daughter and her boyfriend were there for a bike ride ride. The location was perfect for proximity to the ride and a great environment to relax following a strenuous day! There was a slight mix up with rooms, but it was quickly resolved for everyone. And, my daughter loved the replacement digs (pets included!) Kees is extremely easy to communicate with and very responsive. We highly recommend him and his accommodations.

very peaceful place with a great pool

Once you find the place it’s easy to get to it again. Since addresses are a bit not a thing here it is frustrating but the host was helpful and make sure you use Waze

The house is very well equipped, the host cares about your comfort. Everything was clean and smelled good, access to the house by car is a bit complicated and the street is made of stone. But in short, the house itself is a very good lodging option

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful and peaceful abode. Everything seemed just perfect. Karolina’s suggestions for grocery shopping nearby too were so helpful and the bakery next to Pali grocery store was amazing. The area is so safe and beautiful. We loved the kitchen and felt grateful for a washer machine. Such nice touches! We really enjoyed the hikes at the nearby nature reserve. Perhaps some FYIs is to bring your own shampoo and conditioner as well as the roads going through the mountains to the place seemed a little steep for our little economy car but turned out to be no problem. Bring a flashlight too just in case. Always a good idea in Costa Rica. Thank you Karolina so much! We hope to be back again soon!!

A place full of tranquility. My parents were fascinated. They rested a lot and that was the main objective. The house is beautiful, spacious, clean, bright and fresh. Despite the weather in general, we were super comfortable and safe. Thank you very much. We are very grateful and pleased to come back again.

The place is beautiful, with lots of green areas and a beautiful garden. The house is beautiful and very spacious, ideal for six people. It is super well located, just a few minutes from downtown Nicoya. Katia and Carlos were excellent hosts: always attentive, very friendly and answered all our questions patiently. The place has many fruit trees, which attracts a great variety of birds. If you like observation, it's perfect: we saw trogons, aracaris, titiras, motomotos and more. The pool is beautiful, as is the ranch, ideal for relaxing surrounded by nature. We will definitely be back!

This property is as described and the hosts are friendly, responsive, and good resources. This is a truly unique setting for the area – beautifully landscaped and situated on a ridge with panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding hills. We spent more time than anticipated outside at the pool and gazebo watching the bird and monkey activities, especially during sunrises and sunsets. It’s off the beaten path, but an easy drive to many excellent beaches and the more touristy Tamarindo area. The house is designed and decorated exquisitely. Our only knock is that some of the appliances were not fully functioning, but we made do and that’s pura vida. If you like nature in all its forms and appreciate the ebbs and flow of the day, this is a great spot.

We really enjoyed the apartment and the amazing view. We had many beautiful sunsets. The team around the houses are amazing and very helpful.

I would definitely return to this place. It's simply beautiful and ideal for relaxing. Beautiful views and the place is very tastefully and cozily decorated. I recommend arriving during the day, as it is an area with few buildings and you have to follow some signs on the way; but the host shares super detailed directions to get there without getting lost. I was very afraid to go to the area, as I was traveling at night; however, the host was always available to provide me with accompaniment and alternatives. A highly recommended and enjoyed place.

We really enjoyed our stay. Sometimes pictures make a place look a lot nicer than it is, but in this situation the place is even more beautiful in person. There is plenty of space especially for its size, a well stocked kitchenette, and great shelving and storage. We initially got a little confused trying to find the location with our apps, but Aurora’s very detailed message with photos got us where we needed to be. We really appreciated her proactive and thorough communication. This is somewhere we would have been happy in on an extended stay. It’s not far from Santa Elana but is removed enough to be peaceful, and the back deck and beautiful window wall with string lights was a beautiful and ambient touch. This is sincerely the best bang for buck place we have ever stayed in and highly recommend it!

Roberto was an amazing host, he’s a local with a lot of knowledge of the area and the wildlife surrounding his beautiful property! First night we stayed he came to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed, I can definitely say the wonderful people I’ve met in Costa Rica made my time here unforgettable! Pura Vida!

Beautiful spot. I think Kai built all the buildings himself. We loved our pretty cottage. The house was surrounded by beautiful cactuses and other foliage. Monkeys in the surrounding trees at dusk. Waking distance from restaurants, a little market, and the beach. The ten minute walk to the beach was a little longer with our young boys. We were there during the hot season and air conditioning would have been nice. All in all, we would love to go back. Great place for a getaway as a couple.

Han’s place was fantastic! We really appreciated Cinthya’s help with the smooth check-in and the personal tour. The home had everything we needed and more; it truly felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect—just a five-minute walk to the beach just as described. We couldn’t be happier with our stay. Thank you!

Excellent stay!!! We love coming here and enjoying the nature, the views, the pool, and the comfortable home. Thank you 🙏🏽
