Zen Farm mountain villas Fortuna Area

KristenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Very nice stay, despite constant rain ( not Mario’s fault!). The grounds are beautiful and unique. We were able to easily sleep 13 people in 5 rooms. The kids room is really for kids (king bed + 3 twin beds). The location was fantastic, nearby everything. Good recommendations. Kitchen is fully outdoors with a cover, so just be prepared to enjoy the wild of Costa Rica everywhere. The pool and grounds were beautiful. Laundry room also helped!

Pacifico Lifestyle L203, 1st Fl, 1BR, 1B, sleeps 4

KristaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had an amazing time staying in this condo! The host, Kevin was extremely easy to deal with and Paul the local property manager had great customer service and was very responsive. It was exactly what my daughter and I needed and had hoped for. The double vanity was a plus. The kitchen was well equipped. I never had a issue with parking. The owners put a ton of thought into extra items to enhance your stay. We will definitely stay there again if available when we return.

The Casitas at Lomas del Mar - Ocean View & Pool

TimRating, 5 stars7 months ago
To start off, we rented both the top and bottom portions of the airbnb to get complete privacy and it was 100% worth it! The view is AMAZING, especially during sunset. The house and yard itself was perfect, including the pool. The road can be very intimidating when getting to the house, but once you conquer it the first time, it’s cake after! Definitely make sure you have a reliable vehicle (4x4), even for the area itself. Beaches aren’t far from the stay and the Diamanté activity center is just a few minutes away. Perfect for zip lining, animal sanctuary, and much more! This Airbnb is in the perfect spot and was worth every penny. Secondly, our host, Francisco, was AMAZING. We had trouble with our rental car situation, as well as cell coverage and he went out of his way on the weekend to drive all the way out to the Airbnb to help us get to where we needed to. He was very timely in responding and was overall an amazing host!! Francisco made the stay 10x better! Thank you Francisco!

Convenient, Comfortable, High Speed internet

QiRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Great location. The Tamarindo beach honestly is a little bit too crowded for us. This unit is about 10 mins walking distance and feel much more peaceful and safe. We had a rental car, so we visited beaches nearby and they are all gorgeous. The beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels in the unit are very convenient. Restaurant recommendations from Vincent and past visitors are all great. The stuffs in Horizon Pacific management company that managed this property was super friendly and willing to help when we had an issue with our rental car during the checkout day. Kudos to them!

Enchanting Jungle Villa: Your Tropical Escape

LaurenRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We had the best week here! It was a beautiful, private oasis just tucked outside of the busy part of town. Our hosts were friendly and responsive and we loved being able to take the boogie boards and coolers to the beach every day. It would be tricky to get to the beach without a car though.

Condo in Playa Ocotal

Comfortable Beach Front, Great Views & Snorkeling

JONRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We loved our stay in unit #14 and the Los Alemendros complex. It was a short drive from the Liberia airport but tucked away nicely in a very picturesque cove/beach, Playa Ocotal. The two pools were wonderful (one calm & shaded and one on a big veranda overlooking the playa) and the beach less the 100 steps away and the rocky outcrop right in front of the living room and covered porch provided a non stop beautiful ocean soundtrack. Also the restaurant Father Roosters was the best food, friendly service and amazing ambiance beachside. We would definitely come back and enjoy this little hidden gem that Peter offers again. Pura Vida! Also a highlight (just right down the road for horseback riding through the jungle and on to the beach) is The Monkey Farm, a great nature & animal sanctuary. Such friendly people and a passion to help the local community & help animals in need. ❤️‍🔥🌴🐴

Apartment in Playa Grande

Absolutely Awesome Family Hit!

NatashaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
If you are ready to enjoy a perfect little place, a quick walk to the most beautiful beach, with great surf, Great local foods (highly recommend Kike's nearby!), the most friendly locals that really embody Pura vida, monkeys running through trees right in your backyard as you lounge in the pool in the afternoon, and a wonderful host, then I would highly recommend Drew's location. We even tried the Costa Rican way to make coffee! Take a walk down to the beach, admire all of the beautiful seashells that my daughter was dismayed she couldn't bring home (hahaha)! And I highly recommend doing a beach walk in the morning and in the evening when all the surfers and local families go out to watch. There is a big sense of community in playa grande

Villa Luna Grande Authentic Costa Rican Experience

SharonRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This property is in a great location. Safe neighborhood.The Greatful hotel across the street is very convenient, we got our boat taxi from there to go over to Tamarindo. We’ve discovered all the Resturant owners and workers in the area are all so helpful and the food is very good at all of them. The villa was spacious for the 9 of us and everyone had their own private bathroom. Air conditioning in the rooms was perfect! Kristi the manager was very responsive during our stay and hooked us up with whatever we needed! You must go to tamarindo and get an hour massage on the beach for $30! We did this multiple days and was so worth it!! We loved the iguanas and monkeys and all the interesting critters we encountered! Those giant grasshoppers are quite annoying if they land on you but we would laugh every time it happened. Don’t second guess this place, it’s amazing!!

Palm Beach Estates 150' to Beach. Best Location!

ErinRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Great amenities. Dirk was extremely responsive and gave great recommendations on things to do and places to eat. The beach is directly across the street. There are several restaurants within walking distance and a market to grab last minute/forgotten items. Don't miss Cafe Mar Azul, the food is fantastic and inexpensive. There's a surf shack next door where you can rent surf boards and book excursions. Very safe area. The house was very roomy, clean, and comfortable. We'd book this location again if we vacation in Costa Rica again in a heartbeat.

We had a good time at Alexandra’s place, she was a great host, super accommodating and flexible. She was one of the friendliest hosts we’ve ever had. It would be helpful to have a car to get around, but only a 15 minute walk to the beach at Playa Grande and a few restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

MichaelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The place was incredible! The pool and view was the highlight of the property. It felt very safe and had everything you needed. We ended up spending so much time here because of how great the patio and pool was. The place felt very private and away from any city hustle and bustle. All in all, an excellent spot and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a spacious house with a great private pool.

Luxury Home & Apt. Privacy, Tranquility & Toucans!

BobRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My wife, our friend and I spent a very enjoyable six days at this lovely home. Tanyia and Rod are extremely responsive, caring, attentive, helpful, and friendly hosts. The remote location of the home (about 4 km and 13 minutes down an unpaved road to the little town of Tronadora and another 15 minutes and 11 km over paved roads to the closest city Tilaran) required a bit of planning and added immensely to the charm. We enjoyed some of our best nature viewing (monkeys, toucans and other birds) right in our yard and on the beautiful Vistas Del Lago property. We had a couple of power outages in the middle of the night, but they didn’t adversely affect our stay. Tanyia and Rod were also very responsive and helpful when we had a couple of issues with the hot water. Each unit in the home is comfortable for relaxing and sleeping. All in all, we had a wonderfully unique stay with Tanyia and Rod at this lovely home.
