Villa holiday rentals in Santa Cruz

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!

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!

Excelente lugar y atención por parte de Jorge. El lugar es muy tranquilo y seguro. El hospedaje es muy bonito para disfrutar de la piscina o una parrillada en familia. Jorge siempre estuvo pendiente de cualquier necesidad. Hay variedad de playas que quedan cerca del lugar o incluso si el rio en la ruta 911 esta bajo se puede llegar a playas del golfo de papagayo en poco tiempo.

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.

Muy linda la casa. Mejor que en las fotos. Erik y Dominick muy atentos a nuestras consultas. Excelente servicio! El club de playa muy bonito. La pasamos excelente. Mi familia se sintió muy a gusto y el lugar bastante accesible, cerca de todo. Hasta mi perrita estuvo super relajada :). Ideal para familias con chicos, ellos disfrutaron de la piscina al 100%. Esperamos volver ya que nos gustó mucho el lugar. 10/10

Amazing house and location!

Notre séjour fut inoubliable ! La beauté des lieux est indescriptible. La végétation, la forêt, la faune, les multiples papillons, lézards, coati, le cri des oiseaux et des singes hurleurs… nous voulions être seul au monde parmi la jungle et nous l’avons été ! Séjour très relaxant. Tout était très propre et très bien équipé. Nous recommandons fortement.

This was by far one of the most beautiful AirBnB's we've every stayed at. It really felt like a mini resort. We had two families, and everyone was able to have their own room and space. Most of our time was spent in the gorgeous pool or in the outdoor kitchen. The pictures are accurate, but everything is more wonderful than the pictures. There is wildlife everywhere - gorgeous birds, geckos, howler monkeys down the street. The pantry off the kitchen protects your food, and we had no problems with bugs (we were told it was the time of year). We did have a couple of friendly birds that begged for food, but they were amusing to watch. The location, though remote, is in a gated community and was very safe. It was only a 10 minute walk to a beach that seemd almost private...not more than a few dozen people at a time on a beach that had to stretch for a mile. Do not hesitate to rent this place!!!

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.

Villa Guacamaya Roja was a great house in Playa Grande. About 8 minutes to walk to the beach. Large pool for the area. Great rooms. Really responsive concierge who helped book rides and excursions for the days we didn't just hang out in Playa Grande. Would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay. The house was perfect for 2 family's with adults kids. The location was just off the beaten path of the downtown area. The location was private and we really enjoyed having the pool to relax after a busy day. The beds were so comfortable and the rooms were so spacious. We liked having a separate house above the main house. If people wanted to stay up later, there were two master bedrooms upstairs to retreat to. We were so close to everything and the beach. We saw the sunset every night. Thank you!!!

Perfect 50th Birthday Girls’ Getaway! We recently stayed at this incredible vacation home to celebrate our 50th birthdays — 8 girls, one unforgettable trip! The entire property was absolutely stunning. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the pool was perfect for lounging and laughing, and the villas were quiet, clean, and beyond comfortable. The beds felt like heaven after long days of fun in the sun! We especially loved the open-air showers and the outdoor showers — such a luxurious and relaxing touch. Jason and Kathy were phenomenal hosts. They messaged us almost every day with thoughtful recommendations for excursions, restaurants, and local gems. Their friendliness and attention to detail truly made the experience even more special. Everything about our stay was amazing and exceeded expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better setting or hosts. Highly, highly recommend!

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.

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.🥰

This property exceeded our expectations! The home was immaculate, kitchen and outdoor bar were well stocked and the linens and beds were are amazing. Andrea was an exceptional host, friendly, always helpful and the daily housekeeping was an added bonus. We enjoyed the local beach, beach club and restaurants in the area. Our evenings outside by the pool were the most memorable. The beautiful landscaping and lighting around the property was all very well maintained. This Airbnb was a 10 out of 10!

Thank you Nicole, Your house and pool were lovely! We really enjoyed our stay.

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.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour ! L’endroit était magnifique, très propre et parfaitement aménagé. La piscine était superbe et a vraiment ajouté à l’expérience. La communication avec l’hôte a été excellente du début à la fin — très attentionnée et réactive. C’était une superbe expérience, nous recommandons fortement cet endroit. Merci encore :)

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 💫

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!

This place is AMAZING! Kyna and Elmer were so unbelievably helpful with absolutely everything! I could not have asked for better hosts and a better place to stay! They helped with all sorts of bookings and were super communicative throughout the whole planning process and trip itself. I cannot wait to go back and take my kids!
