Villa holiday rentals in Santa Cruz

This home was beyond exceptional. We loved staying here. Loved the pool, the golf cart was convenient and Samara was the ideal location to end our trip!

The photos says it all—Casa Caponera is next-level luxury. From the sleek, modern design to the glowing 25-yard pool stretching across the landscape, every detail is absolute perfection. The home is brand new and feels like a private Four Seasons resort. We had an unforgettable stay, complete with a private chef experience that was one of the highlights of our trip. Even with that, we still loved strolling to the nearby walkable restaurants, which were fantastic. If you’re looking for the pinnacle of luxury, Casa Caponera delivers in every way. Every room offers stunning views, the layout is ideal for entertaining or relaxing, and the outdoor living spaces are just as impressive as the interior. The lighting at night gives the whole home a magical, resort-like ambiance. Every amenity you could imagine is here—from top-tier appliances to spa-like bathrooms. We didn’t want to leave and are already planning our return. Truly unforgettable.

Villa Melina was an incredible stay. The entire family thoroughly enjoyed every aspect. The place is impeccably clean, communication was top notch, they were always available for a question or a recommendation . We can’t wait to come back and visit!

Excellent place and service from Jorge. The place is very quiet and safe. The accommodation is very nice to enjoy the pool or a family barbecue. Jorge was always available for any needs. There are a variety of beaches that are close to the place or even if the river on route 911 is low you can reach the beaches of the Gulf of Papagayo in a short time.

Great location with amazing views! I loved the layout of the house and the privacy of each room.The kitchen is well stocked for in house cooking.The pool was perfect. There were a few issues at the house during our stay but Stephanie was on top of it and she made sure everything got fixed quickly. I would stay at this house again.🥰

Our entire experience was lovely! Erik’s house comes with a house helper, and she made us breakfast daily. Rosa was a delight and we loved her. Erik was always so responsive and quick to get back to me. The house was clean and in a great location - far enough away from downtown to be quiet, but easy to get to by Uber. Our group would stay here again!

We had a great stay at Sam's! Very nice home with a lovely pool — a perfect place to unwind the final few days of our vacation. Super responsive host and property manager that were ready to help with anything we needed. One flag is that the downstairs does not have AC which can make it a tad warm on the hotter days. With the fans etc. it was totally fine but it would be my only point of note for other guests. Upstairs is airconditioned though so the bedrooms are nice and cool at night.

The place is very nice and calm. The beach is near and peaceful. We loved our stay! To access the property you’ll need to have a phone with internet access, as the hosts ask you to use an app to open the garage.

This place is truly magical. Elizabeth went above and beyond for everything! From setting up at home chefs, to answering all my questions, to wonderful recommendations for dinner our last night. The house and property is magical. It’s the first vacation that I truly disconnected, and it was because of the amazing property! If you are thinking of booking this property, do it! I also wanted to just say Sandra and David (property caretakers) were so kind, the dinner they made was wonderful! David even played the guitar for us! I would also recommend Chef Nelson, his food was next level! Thank you Elizabeth- we will be back!

Our family of 6 stayed for 3 nights and had the most amazing time! House was 10x better than the pictures and the most beautiful views. Walkable to the beach and enjoyed the coco loco restaurant. Christophe was very helpful and was at the home when we arrived to help us get situated. We will definitely be back!

Such a lovely space and exquisite personal touches, a security guard for the dinner hours and up a hill but close to everything! Thank you David!

This Airbnb was absolutely stunning. It was immaculately clean and the views were out of this world. The outdoor kitchen, swim up bar is where we spent most of our days. Brokers were great hosts and very helpful. I hope to return one day and would recommend this place to everyone.

Sakura House was spectacular. And it’s not just because of the beautiful house, it’s also because of Liss (she makes the best margaritas), the “house mom”, who is attentive to your every need, and Erin, the dedicated concierge, who makes everything easy and seamless. The house is in a gated community with a lot of security. It is comfortable and well equipped. It was wonderful to sit in the backyard in the mornings and listen to the different birds. This place is a bird-watcher’s paradise. We went sailing with Panache -arranged by Erin- and watched a beautiful sunset. The fishing trip was not a good experience. But honestly, that was the only bad thing about a great 8 day trip. I strongly recommend this house and management group.

I truly cannot say enough about both our incredible hosts and the beautiful home. Nathalie was the most amazing host. Responsive, helpful, proactive with recommendations, assisted with all of our needs, and was just an incredibly kind human. As for the home, truly, the pictures do not do it justice. Probably one of the, if not the most gorgeous place I've ever stayed. I'm so grateful for our time at Casa Bö.

This house is amazing! The views are breathtaking. The house is clean and comfortable. It had everything our family needed . We particularly enjoyed the pool. We were able to walk to town and the beach. Nalu was very helpful with recommendations for transportation and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay so much!

Absolutely great! We had the best time. Wonderful house and pool. Staff were all wonderful.

We had such a great stay at the lodge traveling with our 4 month old. The main room is very comfortable and the crib worked out well. It also has a fridge in the room. The kitchen is outdoors and well stocked. There is a shared, salt water pool, which is very comfortable. We were also lucky enough to see a family of monkeys passing by one morning. The surroundings in general and stunning and very relaxing. Stephane and Sonia are very welcoming and personable. They had great tips and also served a great (optional) breakfast.

Wonderful home and beautiful experience. Definitely gave you a strong jungle vibe waking up. Arturo was especially helpful with all the amazing recommendations. Our family bonded in this unique home surrounded by nature’s paradise. Many blessings to the home owners and their families 💫

Great location, just what we were looking for, quiet, peaceful but near to amenities. Great host, really helpful and responsive. Highly recommend.

Great views. The top of the world pool within the community has unbelievable views at sunset. You’ll need to drive a little ways to get to many of the beaches but there are lots of options. House was comfortable and worked great for large group.

Fantastic stay in Nosara!

Our two-night stay was absolutely magical! The house is such a happy space with plenty of natural lighting in every corner. It served as both the ideal launching pad for our adventures and a blissful sanctuary during those hot afternoon hours when a siesta became essential. The backyard was an oasis with beautiful almond trees providing shade while we lounged in the hammock. There's a lot at home to keep everyone busy - board games, toys and puzzles. But most importantly, the location was perfect. We visited 3 wonderful beaches during our stay here, all within a short drive. Several restaurants and cafes nearby too. It took us 1.5 hours to drive to Liberia airport from here, so that was another plus. We'd recommend staying here if you are visiting the area. There is something for everyone!

Wonderful Airbnb! Jacob their security guard was awesome and very kind! The place is gorgeous and very peaceful and overall an awesome location close to beaches and restaurants! The view is so beautiful! We got to see the sunset everyday and even got a chance to hear the monkeys in the trees! Overall recommended!

Recommended accommodation:) We had a bad experience on our previous Airbnb and changed to FRANK's property, it was a hit, it was very communicative and was always available for any concerns. The pool and bbq space is definitely its biggest attraction. I recommend it. Thank you very much Frank
