Cottage vacation rentals in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui

My friend and I really appreciated Ana Maria's hospitality and her family's gorgeous home. We loved the special personal touches including the jungle of house plants and well-stocked library with board games and books. Having the fireplace stocked with wood made it possible to have the perfect ambiance for reading in front of the fire on a misty afternoon! We found it helpful to have earplugs at night, as the home is close to a transit road, and earplugs did the trick to help us sleep soundly.

Very nice house. Peaceful setting. Beautiful view of the mountains.

Truly splendid stay! Inflatable jacuzzi was amazing! And you can’t beat fresh clean water, chlorine free! We absolutely loved the place. We would definitely come again. Amazing price, definitely worth what we paid. It works great for a family with up to 4 children. Our king size bed was comfortable completely a dream. Nice kitchen well stocked. Huge glass front gives the house a sunny open feel. Even had a washer and dryer to get laundry done. Even provided laundry soap and extra toilet paper when needed. There’s even a simple grill and charcoal we used to grill supper.

Fantastic view and a really nice property. We didn’t get to see much of the surroundings due to unfortunate weather, but we enjoyed the house a lot. The area is beautiful, even on a rainy day, and the house is very close to the poas volcano, yet far enough away that you are not surrounded by tourists.

Roberts place was a paradise. We extended our trip by 2 days because we loved it so much! Anyone would be lucky to book this place

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!

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.

Spectacular service, attentive and friendly all the time

Very good value for money, the only thing I have to say is that the wifi was bad, the rest was all excellent. I highly recommend it!

Everything was excellent, a clean and comfortable place, quiet and close to nature, the host's attention was good too

Amazing place. Felt right at home. Host was very attentive Will definitely book again

Splendid Home and Grounds. Beautifully designed spaces everywhere perfectly organized and maintained. All details are luxuriously anticipated with nothing left to chance for a wonderful stay. Even has an ylang ylang tree in the front yard! House is an architectural gem.

Very spacious, quiet and private environment, with a lot of nature and space for walking. Great for large groups. The pool is impeccable with a comfortable and very usable ranch. Very well-equipped and with everything you need to cook. Very friendly host, attentive to inquiries and flexible with our departure, which was a great point, as well as the caretaker, who is very friendly and willing to help. Aspects to improve: the fans are not enough and in large groups it is a very relevant aspect (evaluate placing more or A/C), the equipment must be fixed to use the screens properly. It was our second experience at the place and it was very satisfactory.

The place is very nice, just as seen in the photos. The house is very nice and clean, the beds are comfortable. However, the only negative thing we have to say is that the air conditioning is a bit old and makes too much noise at night to the point that you couldn't sleep because it rattled all the windows and sprayed a stream of water outside the house... but otherwise the house is very nice and the stay is worth it. Thank you very much for your attention to Mr. Gonzalo, always attentive!

Tortuguero is a unique place and Casa los Chilamates was the perfect place to stay for this place. The apartment is clean and has everything you need. We felt right at home. It is also right next to the jungle, so you can sit on the veranda and be visited by various animals such as hummingbirds, blue crabs, monkeys and much more. Gabriel was our host. He was always immediately available both in advance and during the time there, super nice and open. We booked the Jungle Pack with him and loved all three activities. Especially the canoe ride is an absolute dream. We couldn't have imagined a better guide than Gabriel. All in all, I recommend everyone to book this property.

We loved our stay! We nicknamed the patio the patio of peace. The surroundings are beautiful. The insects and birds sing to you all day. Clean and comfortable. About 15-20 min drive into downtown La Fortuna. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

I stayed at Casa Ara over summer break (June 8–15), and it was exactly the peaceful getaway I needed. The house is nestled among lush greenery and flowers, with a treehouse feel that lets you spot monkeys, butterflies, and birds right from the hammock on the porch. It’s clean, comfortable, and fully equipped—from a well-stocked kitchen to strong water pressure in both indoor and outdoor showers (not always a given in this region!). The beds were cozy, and the space felt like home. Playa Negra is just a 10-minute walk away and feels private, shaded by palm trees. Casa Ara even provides chairs and mats for beach days. You’re also close to town, restaurants, the large Super Negro supermarket, and local pulperías. Cahuita National Park is nearby—perfect for a self-guided or guided nature walk, with beaches and wildlife all in one spot. Just check their website for what to bring (some items are restricted). This place gave me the reset I didn’t know I needed—calm, beauty, and comfort

Nice property, quiet and close to different natural places to visit

Our stay was really nice thanks to Don Eduardo and his wife Betty, who are very kind and welcoming people. The place is the same as seen in the pictures and communicating with Don Eduardo is really very simple, which further improves the experience. The place is very nice and quiet, just to disconnect from the city thanks to its beautiful views.

Diane was an A+++ host! Super friendly and accommodating. She helped me with requests beyond her responsibility and was extremely friendly and accommodating. Loved the privacy and feeling of being immersed in the culture and vibe of the area. Excellent accommodations at super value in prices. Would stay there again for future trips!

We loved our stay here- the views of the ocean were magical. The pool was fantastic and the host was very responsive and kind. Check in was very smooth and they were very flexible with our arrival time! A HUGE bowl of fresh fruit along with eggs/produce in the fridge and a box of chocolates were waiting to welcome us as well. It was a fantastic stay with so many different nooks for sitting outdoors and enjoying the area. I would highly recommend this Airbnb and its hosts.

The place is amazing, very nice! Maybe the issue of parking because there is not much space and you have to ask them to move the cars to get out! And the issue with the location that's in the description lost us! But from there on, everything was excellent

Great place to stay, close to cocles beach. Amazing hosts and all amenities are in great condition.
