Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Playa Carrillo

This was our second time staying in Puerto Carrillo area and we loved it. One of our favorite places. The house was great for 4 people. Had everything you would need. The pool area is beautiful and private and we loved listening to the birds and animals at night. The TV was broken when we arrived and Danny responded to us immediately and brought us a new TV the next day. Would recommend this place!!!

We had a fantastic and relaxing time in Samara. The house is very comfortable, with the best beds of our Costa Rica trip. The kitchen was well equipped, and everything was as described. The pool, while small, entertained the kids after a half day at the beach. Two things to note if you're going to book. 1) You may think it is walkable to Samara, and technically it is, but in the heat of the day it is not. 2) The public utility infrastructure of Samara is under strain, so expect blackouts and at certain times of the day a dribble of water pressure. This is a Costa Rica thing, not a house thing. We had a fantastic time.

A peaceful getaway with modern design. I highly recommend this place, it has beautiful green areas and nature. Shoutout to the pool it’s better than the photos.

Suggestion for tenants: the car really has to be 4X4!! The place is beautiful, I can't explain how beautiful it is... but the entrance and exit is extremely difficult if you don't have a 4X4, and if you use the transport or "taxis" that are here in Santa Teresa, the foreigners charge you up to 16,000 colones ($31.50) for a 2-minute round trip, in my opinion the transport is very expensive haha. But in general it's a beautiful place! We will definitely return in summer to enjoy the area and the house more. Thanks Alvaro, always for your kindness and attention, you were the best Host,🙂‍↕️🥹 the truth is we had a very good experience, we saw monkeys, we enjoyed the pool, even taking a shower with the forest in view was refreshing! We love it!

Great location, cozy and modern home, we would definitely go back to the place , as the only recommendation to improve the lock of the entrance gate!

Best host in the world 🌎

We had an absolutely fantastic time at this beautiful home. Jackie was so amazing. Incredibly responsive and super helpful. This was our 3rd trip to CR. We will be back. Pura Vida ❤️🇨🇷

Leonardo was awesome and the place is very nice!

Right in the heart of a wild Reserve, with beautiful birds flying round as you relax by the pool with freshly made juice in hand and your jumbo shrimp on the bbq. What more could you want? Walk 10min and your on an epic surf beach, Playa Camaronal. Most consistent in the region and very few people ever on it. Drive further and you have the most secluded peaceful beaches where turtles lay their eggs at night (4x4 recommend ). Drive 10min the opposite direction and your on a huge white beach lined with shady palm trees; Playa Carrillo is a local favorite on the weekends but empty all week. Dayana was an amazing host, she was so quick to respond and bring anything we needed to the property. Didn't need much as the place was impressively kitted out. She had loads of suggestions where to go and was super understanding of our needs with a 16month old. Perfect place for kids in the gated compound. You can even rent all 3 flats so the whole family are together.

Absolutely incredible stay! Par en Par was even more beautiful than the photos. The views were truly breathtaking — we could see the ocean from every room and loved the privacy each space offered. The villa itself was spotless, stylish, and perfectly set up for a relaxing, luxurious vacation. The pool was a dream — clean, serene, and surrounded by lush greenery that made it feel like our own private oasis. The service was top notch. Omer was responsive, helpful, and always friendly. Any questions and requests were answered quickly, and they went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

This home had beautiful views, a wonderful staff, and was a superb find for our family’s Christmas vacation. Santa Teresa is amazing and we had some of the best food on vacation ever! Our host , Brano was very responsive and our local helpers were amazing. There is a housekeeping staff on site, but they respect your privacy and keep watch over the property. They brought us extra towels when needed and were overall extremely respectful and helpful. For those traveling to this location, I strongly recommend either a car or ATVs as the home is located up a steep driveway. It is walkable (and there are 150 stairs to use instead) but to do this on a daily basis, you would have to be pretty fit and young. In addition, there are stairs from the driveway to get down to the house and these would not be appropriate for anyone with balance or stability issues. They were fine for us at 50 years old, but should be a consideration for anyone with walking or stability issues. We had a great time!

We enjoyed our stay and the host was easy to communicate with and accommodate us.

This was a beautiful place to stay at! If you love to be at a cottage during the summer, this place is definitely for you. The host and his family were super sweet individuals, and always provided great tips when we encountered them. For families with kids, this place would be amazing as it is spacious, has a mini pool and a playground.

Very nice place, fully equipped and the pool is awesome

Very comfortable and quiet place. Close to beaches! Recommended!

Diane’s place far exceeded our expectations. Great location, very tastefully decorated. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there and available. The setting is amazing, looking out over the jungle and seeing the monkeys off the balcony. The sounds in the morning and evening are amazing. Great pool, grill etc etc. We would come back here in a heart beat.

The place was comfy and I felt like home. The house was equipped and perfect to spend quality time. The host was helpful, friendly and proactive! We definitely will come back! Thank youuu!

We were looking forward a remote location to settle for some months. This was a great sanctuary to be alone and explore the empty beach. The WiFi was very good , even when other local services were unavailable. The neighbour made us delicious food when requested. A great adventure.

Very nice to stay, nice kitchen, bathroom, comfortable room. Very well equiped. Definetely will try to sya there again!

The house is nicer then the pictures! Early check-in was a plus. Secluded, no neighbors. Safe, private parking✅ Nice view✅ Hot water✅ Strong AC✅

Highly recommend! Very unique and tucked away spot away from the hustle and bustle of Nosara. Irene is responsive, helpful and very friendly.

The villa is beautiful, comfortable and private. Jefrey is an excellent host, he is friendly and approachable. Our stay was in rainy season so the street was in very bad condition, take it into account if you go with a sedan type car, and the villa is a little far from the village where you can buy groceries. Leaving this aside, it is a place that is totally worth visiting.

My family of 5 had an amazing time here! Our three boys (16, 13, and 8) loved the house, the pool, and the great vibe here. The house and surroundings are even better than the pictures, which is saying something since the pictures made it look like paradise. Monica was extremely responsive—more so than any host I’ve ever dealt with previously. They have everything you could possibly need for your stay. The area is gorgeous and Playa Grande is a cute town with great restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

The place looks exactly like the pictures. A small, cozy Airbnb with beautiful windows and great vibes. Honestly, we loved it. Huge shoutout to Josefina for being such a great host, super communicative and proactive. And a standing ovation for Jenny, who handled the cleaning. We brought in sand daily and cooked every day, and somehow she always made the place look brand new again. Truly amazing. A couple of quick notes: if you’re not comfortable with off-road driving, this might not be the best fit at least for now while the roads aren’t fully prepared. It can get tricky, especially after rain when it’s slippery. Also, the house is right next to the road. Most of the time it’s super quiet, but occasionally you might hear some traffic from workers going up and down the hill. All in all, we really recommend and hope you have such a nice time as we did.
