Cocobolo Beach house. Oceanview. Beach front
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.

Down by the Sea, beachfront Studio - Apartment
The studio by the sea is wonderful, serene and beautiful. It's steps from the beach, surrounded by lush nature and very comfortable. The space has all the amenities needed to enjoy your stay, well appointed kitchen, bath, linens, beach towel. It's clean and tranquil. Heike and Hans are super friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the area & Costa Rica in general. They were so kind to accomdate our dogs, give them treats, water and lots of love. When we return to Coyote, we will definitley visit with them again.

The Jewel of Callejones
Beautiful cabin with an excellent location overlooking Playa Callejones! There is a nice lookout area and just a short walk down to the beach. The cabin was perfect for our group and is a great spot for a relaxing break. Beatrice was great and communicated all information clearly and responded quickly to help us sort out a small issue. Would definitely visit again!

Casa Calypso BEACHFRONT Paradise in Junquillal!
Lauren's place is a true slice of paradise! It's perfectly sized for a couple in a nice secluded area tucked behind one of the most desolate, beautiful beaches we'd ever seen with our own private walkway to get there. The yard is huge and gorgeous! You can hear the ocean waves from the yard making it a super peaceful retreat. The kitchen was very well stocked for us to cook meals and even make fresh batidos every day! Junquillal is a beautiful beach and is a 45 minute drive (or less) to Tamarindo, but a significantly quieter area if that's what you're looking for. We'd highly recommend the place and would love to stay again!!

Hidden Treasure / Walk to surf
We had an incredible stay at this beautiful place! It was walking distance to everything in Nosara, including the beach, shops and restaurants. We especially appreciated the easy distance to carry our surf boards to the beach. It was lovely to swim and lounge by the pool in the hot afternoons. The three separate buildings gave plenty of privacy for three couples. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking and there was a lovely covered outdoor dining space. We would recommend staying here to everyone and would love to come back someday!

THE BEACH HOUSE, recently renovated!
This is our second stay at Lila's amazing property. We love it and are already planning our third trip! Hot tips for this place: it is rural. Get a good 4x4 to get here. It makes the trip so much smoother. Land Cruiser Prados are the way to go. I would not recommend cheaping out on the 4wd. I'd also suggest a Costa Rica eSIM for your cell phone. Coverage is spotty, at best. The beach is INSANE. If you do get here, and see its beauty, please keep it a secret! :) Lila's place is perfect. It has everything you need, and a bit more. It is truly an oasis. Lila is a wonderful communicator. Despite you feeling like you are at the end of the world, she's always there to help, and her local team are amazing. They show up and take care of anything immediately. Download a roadmap on your phone. Trust the local restaurants (El Barco and San Miguel are amazing). This area is sensational, and Lila makes it comfy, safe, and so satisfying! Thank you again, Lila!

Casita Arena and Sea
Excellent. We had a lovely stay at Hans's, who is with Daniela very responsive and always offers to help. The house is as in the photos, a beach house ON the beach of Sámara, so ideally located, with a convenience store opposite, LA Poissonnerie de Sámara has a housewatch and a beach restaurant 50m away. And the sound of the waves to fall asleep, we'll be back for sure. Thanks a thousand times Hans & Daniela!

EBK Surf apartment 3, 300 meters from the beach
Nice closed property. Quiet and very close to the beach.

Amapola: Best Beach Condo. Location + Views!
I really enjoyed the condo, which is situated just a minute from the beach. The check in process with Hilda was easy. The condo is well equipped with all the necessities and has a great view of the ocean. The location is secure and there are monkeys living in the trees behind the condo. I would certainly stay here again!

Casa Mareva, Mediterranean style retreat in Nosara
Great spot on the playa pelada side of nosara. Hosts were very helpful in recommending activities and arranging for necessities during our visit. House had the basics and we had a great time in the pool after long days at the beach. Families with younger kids should be aware the primary bedroom is in a separate structure from the other rooms and kids have to go up and down stairs past a pool to get there. Worked out great for us but just a note!

Casa De Calma | Brand New 3BR 2BA. Parking, Pool,
We loved every minute of our stay at casa de calma. The house is the nicest we’ve stayed in, the patio and pool being the star! We loved walking to nosara, watching the monkeys, having breakfast at sunrise and watching the sunset on the beach. Perfection!

Casa Sámara HerSan: Front Beach House
This is our second time staying here. I highly recommend staying at Gerardo’s place if you want a private pool and oceanfront place to stay in Samara. They are always such fantastic and responsive hosts. They respond to messages right away, always leave some fresh fruit for arrival and the home is exactly what you’d hope for for a beach vacation. We will be back!

Rancho de Linda at Playa Azul (Blue Beach)
Great place to spend a relaxing vacation. Douglas was very responsive and the property was in a beautiful location. If you arent familiar with Costa Rica, be prepared the roads and long travel times. The location is in a beautiful location, but doesnt have alot of locations near the property. We were looking for that so it was perfect. Douglas' instructions and recommendations were very helpful and we really enjoyed the pool on property. We also had private chefs and massages on site which were great.

Private Paradise, Walk to Playa Pelada or the Boca
This has to be one of my favorite stays. I really enjoyed coffee with the birds every morning. The pool was great the house had everything you need and more. I absolutely loved the location and how easy it was to walk to the beach. It’s a great place to relax unwind and catch a beautiful sunset. I would recommend 10/10.

Chic surf and yoga villa 2 minute walk to beach
Aaron's house was one the best Airbnbs we've experienced and perfect for a couple or small family looking for a small slice of paradise. The property is very private and secure and the spaces are exceptionally well thought out. Besides the close proximity to Baker's beach, the outdoor space including the verandah, pool and lounging areas are thoughtfully designed for enjoyment. The kitchen is very functional for cooking meals at home. The living room is comfortable and if the sliding door to the verandah is open, it's a perfect outdoor living set up. Overall, it is obvious that Aaron has thought of details that can make or break an Airbnb experience and we appreciated that this home felt like a home and not just a space with the basics necessary for rental. Thank you, Aaron!

Jungle chic in the heart of Samara- Whole house
We absolutely loved staying at The Logan during our time in Samara, what a gem of a property! We rented all four units for our crew of 8 and the accommodations were perfect, giving everyone privacy and their own kitchens//bathrooms with the common area outside where we could hang by the pool and enjoy some drinks/music during downtime. Being at the top of the main drag was a great location. We could easily walk everywhere in town and had the grocery stores & numerous restaurants very close for when we needed anything. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach and it was quick to run back to the place if we needed to during the day. Jamie was a great host, very quick to respond to any questions and she had great recommendations on restaurants. Our time in Samara was incredible and our choice on the Logan was a key part of the experience.

Sand Dollar Cove
I almost want to keep this gem of a location to myself, but I have to recognize this host and property for being one of the most amazing travel destinations we've been to. We've honestly travelled around the globe, and there is nowhere we'd rather be than Elizabeth's private paradise. The tranquility, peace and beauty cannot be overstated. Elizabeth communicated wonderfully and we wanted for nothing. Her caretaker (Chayo) was there when we needed him and disappeared when we did not. He and the maid were fantastic. If you really want to feel like you are at the end of the world, but can get what you need, this is the spot. We'll be back. If you do end up going here, try not to tell too many people about this beach. It is magical. Oh, and a good 4x4 is needed. Don't even try to get here in a regular car! :)

Beachfront Home with Breath Taking Views and Pool
We are still on cloud nine after an absolutely SUBLIME stay at Casa Alegre! Chiara was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our entire stay, and the house and surroundings were exactly as magical as described. We chose to rent a car at the airport as we planned to do a lot of exploration during our stay, and getting around was not a problem at all as long as you plan for slower traffic pretty much everywhere. If we ever plan another trip to this part of Costa Rica, we would stay here again without a second thought.

Brandnew design loft, best sunsets, next to beach
This place (the loft) was absolutely beautiful and sits in the most lush beautiful tropical gardens. This is a typical great Studio Saxe tropical modern design. It is central to most things and we walked to everything over the weekend but if you want to explore some of the other beaches there are tuk-tuks you can easily take. Nosara has gone through some major renovations - with brick-paved streets and drainage. At the end of dry season this area of Guanacaste is always much greener than other areas like Tamarindo. The beach is great. The atmosphere is great for a chilled and relaxed weekend (or longer) getaway. The interior design is incredible and there is everything you would need. Plenty of places to sit and relax inside and outside on the oversized terrace that looks out over the tropical gardens.

3 Bedroom House-King beds,Breakfast,Steps to beach
The location is excellent, it’s right in Samara Center. You can walk to the beach in about 2 minutes. Only thing to note is it’s not exactly a house, it’s a hotel. It’s three separate rooms, the one in the center has the kitchen and living room. If your a big group with couples, it’s great. All in all the place is clean, in a great location, and very friendly staff.

Floating Coconut, Ocean Front Scene
The pictures give a true glimpse of this beautiful house and location. As 3 couples we were very comfortable and enjoyed spending the mornings under the cabana drinking coffee and enjoying the view, while early evenings were for sipping cocktails and watching the beautiful sunsets from the pool. The on-sight caretaker, Gama, is very accessible and helpful, although you hardly know he's around. Our daily greeting by the house dog was a highlight and we were all sad to say goodbye to her! Georgina was very responsive to questions and helped us reserve a private chef for daily breakfasts (PasCam- highly recommend!) and TPV for our day long tour to the Rincon de la Vieja (also highly recommend!). There were several local restaurants that we truly enjoyed (Lochitos and Amigos), and a Super Mercado (like a 7-11) for filling up on the few groceries you might need. Playa Avellanas is about 15 minutes away and worth the drive down the unpaved roads for great body surfing. Plus you can relax at one of Lola's beach tables for awesome drinks and food. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone not wanting to be in the thick of Tamarindo, but still close enough to get there and other places easily. Plus you just can't beat the view from Coco Flotante!

BREATHTAKING Private villa 5* Hotel Punta Islita
Absolutely Paradise! We couldn’t have been more impressed. Heather and her team were super easy to communicate with, and everyone at the resort is top-notch! We can’t wait to return. Pura Vida!

Brand New apartment #1 exclusive beach front
Wonderful Condo. Hosts are very kind and understanding and the location is perfect for those looking for a relaxing getaway. being able to walk to the beach very quickly is a huge plus.

Nosara Beach Main House and Studio, Beach Front
Our stay in Nosara was absolutely perfect! The property is stunning, with gorgeous common areas that make it easy to relax and soak in the tropical vibes. The path to the beach is incredible—just a short walk through beautiful nature, where we spotted amazing wildlife along the way. The location couldn’t be better—so close to the beach, yet also just a short walking distance from great restaurants and shops. We loved biking through the maritime forest, exploring the area, and taking in the natural beauty all around. The pool is one of the best we’ve experienced, thoughtfully set up for a seamless transition from the beach. Beyond the incredible setting, our stay was comfortable, safe, and truly rejuvenating. It warmed our bones and our hearts, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this special place!
