Quiet and centrally located room 1
Silvia does a really good job as the Internet Host, and her parents Gerardo and Vera are very kind in-house hosts. When I had trouble with the lockbox, Gerardo came to the local corner restaurant and drove me and my luggage back to the house. I was offered a room change to a room that directly overlooked the beautiful courtyard garden at the home. Hummingbirds and butterflies come regularly to this impressive garden, the flowers and plants are very big and beautiful. Vera was very helpful showing me how to use the washing machine, as well as offering to make me food. The outdoor kitchen there is very large and well-equipped with appliances and dishes. A very nice place with kindly hosts.

Tarzan Jungle Home for Big Families w/ AC & Pool
My family LOVED the Tarzan house. My children said it was the "funnest AirBnB" they have ever been to. We had so much fun zip lining into the pool and there were so many things to keep us entertained. The beds are big enough for 2 and we thought they were comfortable. Paul recommended a Mangrove tour where we got to see wild monkeys and get pictures with them (TONS of fun). Although the location was secluded, there is a local family owned restaurant 3 minutes from the Airbnb with great food and even better staff called "Ranchos Los Garrobos". If we have the chance to come to Costa Rica again, we will be booking with Paul. Thank you for hosting us!

Quiet and central room 2
Great stay at Silvia’s place. Very friendly hosts, beautiful setting and with all kitchen facilities one needs. The room is neat and clean and has a great air conditioning. Really worth the stay

Costa Rica Uncovered: Your Passport to Pura Vida
Steve & Patricia were excellent hosts, they made you feel at home. This was my first Airbnb experience and I was not disappointed at all. My family and I will definitely be staying here again! Thank you Steve & Patricia for welcoming us and making us feel like family instead of strangers.

6 Bedroom/5 bathrooms Home 13 Guests
Very large and comfortable space that can accommodate large groups. Has a beautiful view and in a good location especially if you have a car. Some of the best areas of Escazú are a few minutes away by car. We even went to a great little butterfly farm/restaurant just 5 mins away. The housekeeper, Jorling, is lovely and so kind and kept the place immaculate.

Tucan Casita
We were there for our wedding they were very kind. Even got us a bottle of wine as a gift!

Private Suite in a Gated Community
My daughter, my dogs and I had a great stay at Tranquility. Chris and his mom Edel are amazing hosts, polite, friendly, with great attention to details, always responsive. Edel has the nice gesture of shared homemade bread and cinnamon rolls with us which were the cherry on top for our stay, we enjoyed them for breakfast! Their dogs are friendly and well behaved. Property is super clean, well maintained, with a lot of character, a peaceful and quiet place, perfect for you to relax after beach time. The outdoor kitchen is fully equipped in case you are in to cooking, they got you covered! My daughter had a class the day we were checking out and they were super accommodating by providing her a space to attend class, this reduced my stress tremendously hence I did not have to drive back in a hurry to be back home on time for her class. So, yes, super hosts, super nice people we recommend the place.

From arriving to leaving, Marlon was just brilliant. His place was easy to find, parking was signed posted, along with clear instructions to get to the loft. The views were stunning, the village was pretty and there was a local shop within a minute walk. We loved the feel of the surrounding area, there is lots to do and Marlon spends time giving you ideas and recommendations. A great find! We loved it and I highly recommend his place.

Las Mercedes Ranch
We stayed 1 night at Maria's place with our 2 children. The accommodation is very clean, the room is very nice and the bedding is very comfortable. It's cozy. The small corner with the 2 club chairs is nice too, and the terrace is fine too, right next to the river. It's a relaxing place!! Communication with Maria went very well, we recommend 100%!!!

This stay was one of our biggest highlights during our 8 weeks in Costa Rica -- the hosts are helpful and thoughtful, the grounds of the house are simply splendid, a true slice of paradise.

We had the most amazing time staying at this place! The house was absolutely beautiful, even better than we expected. We felt so comfortable and at home the entire time.

We truly fell in love with the place and would 100% come back. Highly recommend!
