Palm Beach Estates 150' to Beach. Best Location!

StephenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great stay at Dirk’s place. The area is very relaxing. Four restaurants nearby and a small mini mart. The house is right next to the entrance to the beach. The beach is spectacular. A few miles long, great surfing, wonderful sunsets, and not crowded compared to the beach at Tarmarindo. We stayed for two weeks. The first week we rented a car to do grocery shopping, etc. The second week we just relaxed using nearby restaurants and the beach. We enjoyed the pool when not at the beach. If you want to go to Tarmarindo it is about a 15 minute walk on the beach to the inlet that separates the two areas, you can then use the locals with their boats to cross. Cost $2 per person. Boats start at 8 and stop at 5. Dirk is a great host. He helped us with renting the car, and was generous with his recommendations. Look forward to returning.

Breathtaking Flat Seconds from the Beach

LukeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We absolutely loved our stay. Everything within Las Catalinas was a 4 minute walk from Trevelynn’s place. The Airbnb was clean, comfortable, and exactly how we expected. Trevelynn and TropicalHomes were very helpful in planning for our stay and very responsive once we arrived. We travelled with 2 kids 2 and under, and the town was perfect for us! Pool, splash pad, open space for the kids to move around while we waited for dinner! It was a dream! Plus, Trevelynn had 2 pack and plays available so we didn’t have to fly with them!

Reserva Conchal Dream Getaway | Spacious 3BR Condo

KellenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Daphne's place was perfect four our family of six and we loved our stay! The condo was in great condition and we took advantage of the full kitchen to prepare some breakfasts and lunches so we didn't have to eat our every meal. The clubhouse and pool were conveniently located just next door to the building and our kids loved swimming and we enjoyed the beautiful views over the golf course. It was also so nice having the amenities of Reserva Conchal available - we swam at the beach club, used the kayaks in the ocean, and worked out in the gym - all were convenient and fun. And to top it off, Daphne was a fantastic host. Her communications for check-in and check-out were helpful and clear and she provided us with a great guidebook of local activities and attractions to help make our stay more enjoyable. We really couldn't recommend her or her place higher!

OCEAN FRONT VIEW APARTMENT, GATED COMMUNITY.

AlexandraRating, 5 stars11 months ago
Ilya was super friendly and helpful. He met us at the gate for check-in and showed us around the unit and property. Everything was clean and easy to access. There are multiple restaurants within walking distance and a couple min drive into downtown you can find a ton more. The beach is also within walking distance. It’s a calm beach with black sand. Not a lot around there but we had fun with our kids. This place is peaceful and relaxing and has great views of the ocean. Would recommend!

We had a phenomenal stay here! We had a private balcony, large airbnb and access to all the amenities (tennis, pickle ball, pool, ice plunge). We were a less than 5 minute walk to the beach and local restaurants. There was no noise and the AC was amazing. Will definitely be staying here again

Modern beach villa with pool/edge of national park

EwelinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
It was a well-kept and beautiful complex with a very spacious apartment. very nicely designed clean and tidy. The outdoor area very nice to relax and enjoy the tranquility. There was a cute kitten that visited us every day. Very cute. Very nicely located not far on the beach. The caretaker was extremely friendly and helpful. When we had a plate tire on the car, he helped right away. The host was also very accommodating and helpful when the internet was short, he responded immediately and everything worked again. Thanks very much. 💚

Ocean view with private pool house: Isabela #6

JulianneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This place was amazing, even better than in the photos! It was beautiful, clean, and had all of the amenities needed to make it a comfortable stay. It really was a magical place - early mornings were spent watching the birds, dragon flies, and iguanas, and the evenings disappeared by floating in the pool watching the breathtaking sunsets. You can easily walk downtown from the house if you are up for the climb up the hill on the way back but we also found that parking by the beach was easy so we were able to take the beach blanket and umbrella provided at the house. The host provided really helpful instructions so we could easily find the house and local restaurants and was extremely responsive during our stay when we reached out with questions. We stayed with our two children and it was perfect, was one of the best places we have ever stayed, and would highly recommend it!

Luxury Updated 3BR Villa in Hacienda Pinilla.

CaitlinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our stay at this Airbnb in Hacienda Pinilla was absolutely wonderful! The home was beautiful, spacious, and set in a peaceful, lush environment—perfect for relaxation. The surroundings were serene, with easy access to stunning beaches and nature trails. What truly made our experience exceptional was the host’s responsiveness and attentiveness. They provided clear communication, great recommendations, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Whether we had a question or needed assistance, they were always quick to help. The property itself was well-maintained, comfortable, and had all the amenities we could ask for. It felt like a private retreat, yet we were close to all the best that Hacienda Pinilla has to offer. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with a fantastic host, this is the perfect place. We would absolutely stay here again!

SEE MONKEYS Private Pool - just steps to beach!

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great stay at Casa Tranquilla. Katherine and Willie were very responsive to our needs. The house was as described. We loved sitting in the rocking chairs under the shade by the pool. The wildlife was so fun -- we did see the monkeys pass by a few times. Like us, they seemed happy about the location. We stayed for 12 days, and I could work remotely during the week. The wifi in the house was strong enough for video calls. That said, Costa Rica has intermittent outages, and we experienced some brief loss of power and internet access a couple of times. It wasn't a surprise and didn't last long. If you haven't been to Costa Rica before, be aware that there aren't sidewalks in this area. The walk to town and the beach is along the roadside and on dirt trails. It's not a big deal and everything felt very close and safe, but it was helpful for us to know that going in. If you're looking for the beach, find the trail :) Thank you Katherine and Willie for the excellent stay!

Casa Tranquila poolside 2B bungalow

JaelynnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Jose’s bungalows are a little slice of heaven! We were far enough from the city that the nights felt private and quiet but close enough that we were easily able to walk to town or catch a quick Uber. The sweetest surprise was Luna, Jose’s gorgeous dog, who greeted us at the gate every time we returned and loved to hang out with us by the pool. Would absolutely recommend this place to others!
