Holiday rentals with lake access in Puntarenas Province

I don’t think there are enough words to describe how magical our stay was. Our family said it was the best vacation that they have ever had. Vicente was amazing and really became part of our family, we cried when leaving. Looking to,book again next year.

We had a great time here with my kids and mother. Loved seeing the scarlet macaws in the trees around sunset. The nearby beach is also beautiful.

We had a fantastic stay at this beach house in Costa Rica. The home was beautifully designed, clean, and thoughtfully appointed — everything felt comfortable and well-maintained. What truly made this experience stand out was the incredible support from the hosts. They went above and beyond, helping us plan our entire trip, from local recommendations to coordinating activities and transportation. Their help made everything easy and stress-free. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-supported getaway in Costa Rica.

We absolutely loved the house! The pool was great, and we were surrounded by beautiful nature. Our hosts were always communicative and helpful. We would definitely suggest getting a 4WD. They mention this in the listing, but the mention can be a little hard to find. The hill is pretty steep and it’s best to drive it.

Our stay at Elisabeth and Michael's home was fantastic! We felt as though we had stepped back in time to the early 1900's. They have done an amazing job restoring the place while retaining the original character. Their home is truly a work of art. While there are a few modern conveniences one might find missing, we had everything we needed, were very comfortable and felt completely at home. Michael's breakfast was wonderful and he was always ready to help in every way possible. Our conversations with our hosts were captivating and one of the hi lights of our time in Costa Rica! It is quite apparent that Elisabeth and Michael love Puntarenas and Costa Rica. That affection is quite contagious and we found ourselves more in love with their country having visited with them in their home for a few days and would definitely stay with them again.

This mountaintop Airbnb made for an unforgettable first trip to Costa Rica. It is very secluded and the sounds of nature made it very peaceful. The ocean views from the infinity pool were incredible. We agree with the previous reviews that the photos can’t capture the serenity of this Airbnb. Cecile and her husband (owners) were residing in their house on the property during our stay and were extremely friendly and accommodating. The drive up and down is an adventure (that we really enjoyed!) Cecile includes very helpful instructions with photos to find it. A 4x4 car is an absolute necessity to get around in the Ojochal/Uvita area. There is so much to do nearby including lots of waterfalls (three of the four we visited were just a 2-minute walk to get to them!), guided night hiking, a day trip to Corcovado National Park, zip lines, etc. There are lots of yummy restaurants nearby and the kitchen has cooking essentials so we cooked for ourselves several times. We can’t wait to come back!

My fav AirBnb in Costa Rica. Beautiful spacious property, Lots of nature plants and animals. The living room is outside providing stunning views into the garden, stargazing at night - we spent the best time! Can Highly recommend to stay here.

One of the best private beachfront places to stay in Drake!!!! Had such an amazing time staying here!!! Amazing location outside of town and Lex was one of the best hosts we have ever had!!! If your thinking of staying Drake then this should be one of your stays. We can't wait to be back next year!!!

Fantastic from start to finish. This spot is a hidden gem. Cristian is a most gracious and friendly host, a delightful human being. We felt life family by the time we left. The space is immaculate. Everything about the accommodations has been done with care. This is the kind of place to go if you want a experience of real Costa Rica. And to top it off, five minutes walking up the road is a gorgeous waterfall! If you want to go to Irazu Volcano from Cristian's place, stick to the main roads as Google Maps may try to take you on a "shorter" route that you will regret. Highly recommended!

Our stay was wonderful! The villa is beautifully renovated and well equipped. The host was responsive and attentive. Absolutely recommend staying here. We’ve been visiting Hacienda Pinilla for 4 years and this is our favorite area, it’s quiet and has access to Bonita beach which is beautiful!

What a great location and atmosphere and the Studio and garden is perfect with all necesities for a true beachfront vacation .. Definitely one of our best stays in Costa Rica. Sonny and Rita are the nicest most welcoming people! We will be back again as their Airbnb is a mew destination for us!!

It is a very healthy area, easily moves where you want to go and everything is within reach, restaurant and shops in general

I stayed at Manu’s jungle loft for 3 weeks and had a wonderful time. The space is comfortable and rustic, with wonderful views and a very comfortable bed. The beaches nearby are some of the best in the world, and it’s very easy to walk to nearby restaurants or grab a TukTuk any time. Manu and Lucas were kind and gracious hosts. I hope to stay again!

Very comfortable location with a lot of accessibility to do different activities and rest. The possibility of using the kayak and paddle board is very advantageous given how close the lake is where you can take advantage

The Airbnb was perfect. In an up and coming area. Looks exactly like the photos, beach front access, close to many stores and restaurants. Quick access to the main road to get out of Jaco. I would highly recommend to everyone to stay here. I would definitely book again.

Gissel's house is a cute jungle home! The green yard in the front is super peaceful and the front patio is an awesome place to hang out during any time of the day. It's also well located just a minute away from the Costanera so you can easily access Uvita or Domi when needed.

Beautiful house Comfortable and plenty of room Huge garden with ranch and pool and is next to a beautiful river I'd definitely come back

Good value, nice well maintained clean house with an electric gate, perimeter fence and multiple security cameras. Nice sheltered outdoor areas for sitting and dining on a rainy day. There is a river and mountain with tropical forest rising up behind the house. Old style electric shower head. It can be quite hot if you keep the flow of water low. Nice screened windows for good cross ventilation. Quite cool at night so no need for AC. Spent one morning at Blue Falls which was truly amazing. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils, air fryer, microwave and outdoor grill. Ran out of propane for the stove but Daniela sent over a full tank within an hour.

We came pretty late, the last 50 meters is necessary drive very slowly, but the place itself simply famous. No neighbours, beautiful terraces, tiny but wery comfy. It is such an special place, really quite, with special vibe. No matter how far it seems to be from the village.

It is an environment that I have rarely had the opportunity to live, an unexplained peace, a super natural environment, it is like having your own land and ranch, you can go out in the morning to see the birds, the squirrels, the frogs, I recommend you get up early so as not to miss that moment, also has several very parenting board games, all were super cute in the super when they knew that we were staying there and they helped us with references, the people are very friendly but the best is the owner, he helped us too and was very attentive! He recommended us to go to the Río Cuarto, he was very godfather!

Sabrina & Edu couldn’t have been better hosts! Their “end of the world” paradise is quiet & peaceful. Their home cooked meals were delicious & plentiful. The bungalows had thick netting so we could feel the cool night air as we slept. It was fabulous to wake up to all of the birdsongs every morning, They made a special effort to show us birds & animals. We really enjoyed the use of their boat to explore the River where their diverse ecosystem shines in the jungle. We also liked taking the boat on the lagoon to the beach. If you want a quiet and peaceful getaway, this is the place. However, Sabrina is happy to help you with any tours (and there are quite a few to choose from). We will always treasure our time here. :)

This was our family’s 5th trip to Pavones . We like to try different places and locations . Giselle’s home was beautiful , spacious and very comfortable. We had a smaller group and it didn’t feel overwhelming as it’s a big place . Outdoor spaces were amazing , and a quick walk to essentially a private beach . (Only saw 1 person over 8 days ) a short walk to La Pina restaurant for a pizza or dinner and only 3-5 minutes from various spots near Pavones point. I will say this was perhaps the most well equipped kitchen and linens we have experienced yet . Oliver the caretaker was quite helpful and his English is fair . Overall a very positive experience. Pura Vida Steven

Beautiful and comfortable house with incredible views. Our family had a great stay and look forward to coming back. Laura is a great host, very responsive
