Condo in Santa Cruz
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 98 reviewsOcean Front Ocean View Condo in Junquillal
KeithRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Not much to add beyond the countless rave reviews here. The restorative and serene view and location is obviously the best quality, but the condo itself is comfortable and offers all the comforts of home as well. We loved the empty beach, the sound of the surf, and the cackle of the tropical birds. If you want crowds and traffic jams, head to Tamarindo. If you yearn for quiet and a vintage Costan Rican experience, I recommend without hesitation.

The house is beautiful, it has a very nice view, there are congos, the beach is very close and we got to see turtles laying eggs. In addition, Evan's service was wonderful, he brought us some delicious seeds and was always attentive, we would definitely come back.

Me and husband stayed at Axels beautiful place for our honeymoon for 11 days. It was even more beautiful than the photos if you can believe it. Waking up to the view of the infinite pool and jungle, the sounds of the animals, just breathtaking. Anytime we needed anything (which wasn’t often) axel responded immediately. Luis was also incredible! We decided not to rent a vehicle and cab everywhere and he hooked us up with the most punctual, friendly driver who came to get us atleast once a day. I recommend trying Luis sisters fresh fish (10/10) We were lucky enough to see monkeys, parrots, lizards, and coaties all from the pool. We did a few tours like horse back riding, went out for dinner most nights, but ultimately during the day we were at the house enjoying the sun! We will definitely be back in the future to enjoy anniversaries. Thank you Axel for have an exceptional place that truly felt like an oasis!

Dome in Puerto Carrillo
5 out of 5 average rating, 71 reviewsOcean view DRIFT Glamping
FabianRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We had a fantastic time in Magalies Dome and enjoyed spending two nights in this special accommodation. The view is truly magical, you can watch hummingbirds and other birds, watch the fireflies in the evening and listen to the howler monkeys in the morning. The pool was especially loved by our children. The kitchen is super equipped and it's fun to cook and eat with such a great backdrop. We also felt very comfortable in the dome. The bed linen was extremely soft and high quality and also smelled good. The view from the bed is amazing. Our six-year-old daughter loved her bed upstairs under the dome. Simply super cozy! For us, it was the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in and a highlight of our Costa Rica tour.

While finding the location was a bit of a challenge , Gladys did make herself accessible to assist me. She was very kind and welcoming, sending me local restaurants and many other helpful tips about Tamarindo. The house was absolutely gorgeous !!! Highly recommend !

The beautiful, private, super-equipped house with new and luxurious finishes. Julieta and Elmer were super friendly and accommodating to our needs. We only stayed one night but we will definitely return.

Villa in Santa Cruz
5 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviewsAl fresco Oasis in the heart of Guanacaste
EllenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
If you want peaceful and remote, this is the place for you! We stayed for 2 nights and had a wonderful, relaxing time. Giselle’s place was less than 5 min from Playa Coco, which was the best beach in the area (we didn’t surf but seemed like everyone that did also went there). There are not a ton of restaurants in the area, but as it’s easy to cook in the full kitchen and enjoy the beautiful views from the Airbnb, I’d recommend bringing your own groceries, striking up a fire and settling in. Watched the birds come in every morning from bed!
