Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Ballena Bay

La pasamos muy bien ! La casa es amplia, tiene de todo para cocinar y lugares hermosos para compartir en familia!

Todo muy bien la llegada sencilla y el check in muy facil. La casa muy bien equipada y la atención de los anfitriones muy buena y proactiva. Volvería sin duda.

Muy bonito lugar,fácil acceso es bastante privado tiene una vista espectacular desde la terraza y la comunicación con la anfitriona fue excelente.Lo recomiendo.

Chris is the Man! For context, my girlfriend and I had another bnb in the area that lost power and water for 2 days! I had to book an emergency stay and Chris accommodated and responded swiftly even though it was very short notice. We fell more in love with his property than our original one lol. 10/10 stay loved the vibezz.

Un excelente lugar con todo lo necesario para no tener que salir. Cuenta con todo lo necesario y más. El encargado es una persona muy amable y siempre atento. Sin duda la pasamos súper! ♥️

The location was less than a minute away from the beach. If you like running this is a great place to run on beach or run to Jaco scenic viewpoint. It was quiet and peaceful. It was not far from the restaurants and main city center. The place itself was great with WiFi and AC. I enjoyed resting here after a long day of activities. Spencer was a great host. We stayed one more night and he made it happen easily . I enjoyed that he wrote “Pura Vida” once everything was organized and set. Would stay here again.

Such an amazing oasis! Lori was such an amazing host. She walked us around the property and was always available. We woke up to howler monkeys and toucans. The home was clean and well equipped! Perfect for two couples! We will definitely be back to visit!

We stayed for four days and had the most amazing time. I had tears in my eyes saying goodbye to Emerita. She and Diogenes were wonderful hosts who helped us with any questions and pointed out a baby sloth that we never would have seen without her pointing it out. It’s truly a magical place, Déborah. Thank you for your timely responses, accurate description, and recommendations. For those considering—know thyself! If you freak out over bugs, this isn’t the place for you. It’s Pura Vida. My son, daughter , and I loved everything! Morning Mother’s Day walk solo on the beach was perfection. We will return!!!!

Our family really enjoyed this home - especially seeing the monkeys, having great swings for our daughter to play on, and an amazing rooftop view!! When the pool pump was not working properly, Rafal was there very quickly to fix the timer and was very personable. When in this area, we would definitely stay here again.

If you’re on the fence about renting this place- this is your notice to do it! You will not regret this once in a lifetime opportunity to explore Costa Rica. I studied in Costa Rica as a college student, and I wanted to bring my family to enjoy this beautiful country without the touristy feel. It wad important to feel as though we were immersed in the culture, and Lia and Gershon found a way to bring authentic Tico experiences to travelers. Their finca is absolutely stunning. The receiving family, Luis and Raquel, are gracious hosts who live nearby and provide you with privacy, but they are also available for tours and delicious meals. Lia and Gershon help you plan your trip and provide you with multiple options to ensure you have a unique and fulfilling experience. Fun was had by all, from my 7-year old daughter to my 73-year old mom.

I have been to many Airbnb's around the world and there have been a handful that make me feel like heaven on earth. This is absolutely one of those places. The view is ASTOUNDING!! The home itself is so cool. The owners seem absolutely lovely as we got to meet them in person as they help you check in. The details they accounted for are impeccable. I would live here forever if I could. If you stay here, you will NOT be dissapointed. Sooo much to do in and around Jaco as well which is a relatively quick drive down the mountain. Rqncho Shadday, the restaurant very nearby this place is so nice as well. My family and I loved every single second of our stay here. Please also know the work they would have had to put into this place is immense to create the dreamy space they have. Absolutely loved the stay so very much!!! 20 out of 10 stay!!!

We had a wonderful stay. The place is more beautiful than the pictures depicted. Very peaceful and private. We swam in the pool every day. It was ideal for our toddler. Lots of animals and wildlife surrounding the cottage. Comfortable bedding. Full kitchen. Close to everything in town. Great value. Would stay here again.

Excelente ubicación, muy cerca de la calle principal pero en un ambiente privado y seguro, el lugar se veía igual a las fotos. Accesible para cualquier vehículo. Supermercados y restaurantes demasiado cerca. Indicaciones claras para el ingreso y buena comunicación por mensajes.

No words can quite describe the magical experience of staying in this beautifully crafted treehouse. The view is incredible, but it is the tasteful and rustic personal touches that make the space feel so cozy and inviting. Peter was a welcoming, responsive, and kind host, and all of the love and craftsmanship with which he and his family have created their homestead is evident in every corner of this spectacular place. From waking up and watching the sunrise over the ocean from our crows nest bed, to taking a warm outdoor shower at twilight in the rain, to stargazing at night while lightning storms danced on the horizon, each moment was better than the next. The casita was equipped with everything one could need, and we were very comfortable with the fan at night. Thank you again Peter and Santiago for everything.

My mom and I had a wonderful time here! We really enjoyed having a quiet place to our self, giving lots of opportunity to explore Costa Rica! We loved the pool and outdoor kitchen! Even with any rain we were able to cook no issues. Francisco was very helpful and always responded very quickly to any questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at Steven’s place was incredible. The place looks just as listed and is every bit as stunning. Steven was a very responsive host and was insightful about the area. The roads near the house are a little rough but totally worth it. I would highly recommend staying here.

The tree house was everything I would expect from Costa Rica, no detail was spared. This was an ethereal place that was a perfect distance between both montezuma and Santa Teresa. It was easy to get into town, but also beautiful enough to spend the evening in—watching the storms! When I make my way back to the Nicoya peninsula I will 100% come back to this place

What a cozy and stunning home. Loved it from the moment we walked in. Really nice extra touches like eye masks and ear plugs for a super peaceful sleep. Already planning our next visit! Gracias!

Tatiana y todos los que nos atendieron fueron muy amables. La habitación estaba limpia y ordenada. La vista es increible, mucho mejor que en las fotos. El desayuno es bueno al igual que las otras comidas que también preparan. La comunicacion es excelente, nunca demoraron más de 10 minutos en responder. Mi bebé de dos añitos se lo disfrutó, tuvimos hasta la oportunidad de ver varios monitos mientras desayunabamos. El camino para subir la montaña es algo retante, al menos para nosotros que fuimos con una SUV rentada, creo que en un vehiculo 4×4 hubiese sido mucho mejor, pero igual lo logramos y nos disfrutamos el paisaje. Por ultimo, la conexion de internet y el calentador de agua funcionaron muy bien. 👌🏽

El lugar es muy hermoso y tranquilo, el trato y atención de Xinia fue excelente.

We stayed here for 8 nights and enjoyed our stay in the jungle! The kids loved the swing, the pools, the hot tub, the walking trails and the pond. House was clean and met our needs. It took about 18 min to drive to La Fortuna.

We stayed there for 1 week so had a lot of time there. The road to get there is a 15 minute intense rocky drive I would highly suggest having a 4x4 vehicle. Wi-fi is also a little rough so prepare for that. House is a little dusty and bugs love the kitchen and floors upstairs. It’s really out there in the jungle. Two friendly cats that we ended up naming and enjoying their company and 7 dogs that will run over to you and say hi every day. Host was very responsive and helpful. Overall beautiful stay.

This is truly the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at, and I’ve stayed at plenty. Adriana was super responsive from a month prior. Any questions I had, she was quick to respond and she was super informative. She helped me get set up with my ferry and hiring a private chef for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday dinner at the Airbnb. It was a nice surprise to have security at night time - who by the way was so kind. We felt super safe. We had on site staff in the morning that help maintained our pool and our house. They were amazing. Thank you to the staff there. There is construction next door but it never bothered us. When we were swimming in the pool, they had speakers we could use that helped with the noise. The view was super breathing taking too, that the noise felt like it was never there. The house itself, 3 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms. All spacious, all clean, huge, beds were super comfortable. I really loved my stay here. It was the best place my bf and I have been to. We will be back

Karen was so helpful and we had wonderful local support from Sophie and Vanessa who look after the house and their guests very well. It’s beautiful and furnished to the highest spec with every gadget and utensil and towels you could imagine needing. Great sized mugs and beautiful ones too. Sophie and Vanessa are based very locally with advice on tours and a great little coffee shop. Sophie booked our tours for us and Vanessa cooked some wonderful breakfasts and also give great info on great local fish restaurants and Costa Rica as a whole which helped greatly with the rest of our trip after our 10 days at the wonderful ‘House of Light’. Thanks Karen and Guy on your local tips; the night kayaking in the bioluminescence, swimming in Cameron bay with the birds swooping down around us to catch fish and a couple of days relaxing on Playa Vivos with their fabulous restaurant and cocktails. The howler monkeys the highlight in the trees at dawn and dusk in the trees surrounding us. Beautiful
