Villa holiday rentals in Carmen Beach

We have been coming to Costa Rica since 1990 and have stayed in many homes in different parts of the country. Casa Juliet is our new favorite. The home is amazing with spectacular views! The location is perfect, just a 5 minute walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The home is very safe, behind a gated entrance. We never locked the doors during our stay. We were 4 couples in the home. because of the layout, we never felt cramped or limited on space. The grounds are beautiful and the pool and patios are large with several separate seating areas. The staff, Clara and Jose were onsite every day for cleaning and maintaining the pool and grounds. Clara also cooked and prepared meals when asked. Our host, Rotem was awesome, he was always available to assist and direct us to the best restaurants and activities and checked in on us often. We can't wait for our next trip to Casa Julliet!

Great cafe near by good spacious place

Amazing Lua Villas, a fairly private small hotel where it feels safe, they clean the apartment every day, they give free filtered water, has a fairly clean pool, Villas quite cozy and with equipped kitchens. visitor note: Unfortunately I did not know that to arrive the best is to have a 4x4 since the street there are many parts where there is no asphalt, I was walking with a sedan and suffer a lot, maybe I did not find out well, and in the place there is no signal of any company so only with fixed Internet (Wi-Fi), there was a moment where the light went away and we were completely incommunicado

We loved our stay at Villa Pochote. The location, just above Playa Hermosa, made for a quiet and secluded stay (apart from one bird who insisted on squawking all night long 😂). The house feels like a cozy home, not just a rental. The highlight for us was the amazing pool. And of course our host, Paula. Would highly recommend this home.

This was our first time visiting CR and we were truly impressed with Mar's space. Everything was as described and Mar was kind enough to offer us local recommendations and suggestions while we were there. Would absolutely come back again!

Lorie and Will were extremely responsive, always helpful and very friendly. They made sure we had everything we needed and even had the house cleaners come mid stay to clean the house. Will had ATVs delivered to us and coordinated their pick up. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best trip! Highly recommended!! Thx you guys!!!!

The house and surrounding environment was incredibly we saw many animals including monkeys, butterflies, curious squirrels and many colourful birds where especially the hummingbirds gets very close to you if you wish. Anne-Laures is ever helpful and fast responding if you have questions about anything 😊. The place is literally almost in the jungle with a view above it and over the ocean and that is only a 10 minute drive in your 4x4 car. We want to thank you Anne for a magnificent stay Best regards the Mikalski family

Beautiful stay. The concierge is extremely responsive and helpful. Super central Santa Teresa, gorgeous views. Thanks so much :)

Villa Laya is truly spectacular. The house offers privacy and is very well designed offering spectacular views from every room. Bernice was a great host and was very helpful. I’ve stayed in a lot of AirBnb’s and this one was truly special. I seriously can’t recommend it enough!

Such a lovely stay, the villa is gorgeous, views are stunning, we loved it! The hill is walkable but steep so it was definitely a good work out, we had a 4x4 and it managed it fine. Santa Teresa is great, so many restaurants and bars, we surfed/tried to, headed to Montezuma for zip wire and thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets from the villa. BBQ and kitchen was great, we ate in a few times and quite enjoyed watching the ant action at night. Tomi the dog was a lovely extra we discovered he loved chomping on ice cubes, he was a gem! The hosts are very responsive, loved the info they sent it was great, would highly recommend staying here.

Ramona’s place is truly a Pura Vida paradise! It was absolutely perfect accommodations for our extended family of four adults and five children. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, the amenities were extensive, everything was extremely clean and organized, and the backyard/pool area is a relaxing oasis that was hard to leave. Not to mention the short walk to the gorgeous beach with an amazing cafe and restaurant was the icing on the cake! Ramona was the most responsive and helpful host I’ve ever encountered, and we’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s. Her recommendations and answers to our questions helped plan our entire vacation. I would have to say this has been our favorite place we’ve ever stayed at. Don’t hesitate…book it now!!

The concierge, Josefina, was super responsive and helpful. We had a few minor issues during our stay which she addressed as soon as we brought them up. She also left us some coffee, wine and fruits which was much appreciated. She communicated prior to our and during our stay with efficiency and a lot of helpful suggestions. The place itself was a good size for our group and the kids enjoyed the pool. Daily housekeeping is included in the price and there were always fresh towels to go around.

We loved our stay at Villa Melody! Communication was constant and proactive from the moment we booked. They truly want you to have the best vacation of your life and have thought of many unique amenities. Accurate description of the location and its tricky driveway. Check-in was smooth as Nir was there to greet us and give us instructions. The pool was awesome and in use every day and even though it’s just off the main road it feels like an oasis with wildlife galore just outside the sliding doors!

My wife and I had an amazing week at Villa Akoya. The home was immaculate when we arrived and came stocked with fresh fruit, wine and beer. The sunset views were nothing short of spectacular every night. The support team for the Villa are amazing. Milena, our concierge for our stay was incredibly helpful and kind, suggesting beaches to visit, things to do and restaurants at which to eat. She also arranged transportation for us when needed. Marta, the housekeeper, is there every day between 10a-2p. She keeps the place immaculate and does laundry if needed. The security guard was on duty every night from 5pm until 5am. He was visible but not intrusive. Maintenance kept the pool sparkling, grounds clean and Internet working. While the location is amazing and close to everything, it is also next to a beach access road which means you will hear some traffic (especially at sunset) and it won't feel particularly private. BUT we WILL be going back soon. Highly recommended!

This property was amazing with an amazing host. We felt right at home and were well taken care of for our entire stay. We travel a lot and this was the most beautiful property we have stayed. The surroundings were beautiful. Extremely comfortable. The kitchen was amazing. Beautiful infinity pool looking out at the ocean with amazing covered porch. Our family had an amazing vacation. Our host had great recommendations which helped us plan an epic vacation.

Villa Element is an incredible home in Santa Teresa. Enjoyed a few days here with the family during spring break. The private location and stunning accommodations made a a great home base during our stay in the area. Hope to return again in the future.

Fantastic space, well designed clean a dream to stay and hope to stay again soon.

This was a very comfortable and private place to stay. Short easy drive to Playa Hermosa, Manzanillo, and Santa Teresa. Only 30 minutes or so to Montezuma as well. Would recommend!

The place was amazing! They look cleaners and maid service was also friendly. The only problem is the raccoons drinking from the pool later at night and crawling on the roof but I think that’s out of their hands. Otherwise it’s the most central spot for anything around Santa Teresa and the host is so responsive!

Great place and service. House was great as shown in the pictures and is located near the beach and restaurants. Eduardo the host was very attentive and helpful.

Beautiful location and property. View is fantastic. Pool area was lovely. Outdoor bathroom was a vibe. Felt extremely private and peaceful. Fairly quick access to town in Santa Teresa. Our host/concierge Fiona was extremely responsive and helpful. Our first time in Costa Rica so a few notes for other first time visitors relevant to this property. The roads to access the house are really rough which made coming and going an adventure. 4x4 helpful. In April, temp is fairly hot and high humidity. The AC kept the bedrooms nice and cool but the main room stayed pretty warm. House is set in the beautiful jungle which means wildlife at all times of day and night. Very fun but also a LOT of noise. Bring earplugs if a sensitive sleeper. A few small issues with the appliances during our stay but everything was resolved reasonably. Overall our trip was fabulous and would absolutely book with this host and property again.

Lucy and the staff here at Thea resorts were amazing. Lucy was super responsive and was able to book all of our excursions, she was super helpful. During our stay we were able to get to know the staff who kept up with us. The wonderful pool guy and the ladies who did the house keeping. This was daily and it was a treat. It’s always nice to have fresh towels and a clean kitchen. We couldn’t have had a better experience. The weather was excellent and the location was breathtaking. Thank you and we’ll be back!

Our stay at Pierre-Alexandre’s house in Playa Hermosa was absolutely perfect! The home was stunning—immaculate, stylishly decorated, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor area, with its gorgeous pool and lush surroundings, was a highlight, making it hard to leave! Pierre-Alexandre was an outstanding host, incredibly attentive, and quick to respond to any questions we had. He went above and beyond, sharing local tips for nearby beaches, restaurants which felt like the warm hospitality we love. The location is ideal, just steps from the serene Playa Hermosa, offering the perfect mix of tranquility and easy access to Santa Teresa’s vibrant scene. We can’t recommend Pierre-Alexandre’s place enough and are already dreaming of our next visit! Thank you for an amazing experience!

Beautiful stay at Villa Shemesh, a scenic and peaceful house tucked away in nature! I would absolutely recommend this place. - Very clean and comfortable house, the furniture is high quality and the design choices are calming and comfortable at the same time - You feel tucked away in nature and isolated in the best way - Very responsive host at various hours of the day, which made us feel welcome and cared for - Beautiful birds visiting every day - Private pool for some downtime and cooling moments on the particularly hotter days - Ample amounts of towels and supplies for all guests - Daily kind cleaning personnel For Awareness: - the drive up to the villa is very steep, you will need to take it slow and have a 4x4 - the living room does not have A/C, sometimes hard to enjoy the space due to heat or when cooking Overall incredible house!
