Beachfront vacation rentals in Costa Rica

Beautiful off the beaten path home next to the beach. House was beautiful with air conditioning that helped on the hot and humid days. Beach was just across the street which was nice though rip tides were possible so had to swim during certain times of the day to avoid them. Jefferson was always responsive with anything we needed and even offered to do laundry for a small fee which was nice and convenient.

good for short stay and fishing

Great location, the beach is at front and with great access walking. The pool has a good size and the house is very well equipped.

We had a great time at David's place. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room between the bedrooms, main living area, back patio and the pool, and the deck above the pool area. Beautiful views and easy access to the ocean. The pool was cleaned every day and the cleaner came twice during our 11 day stay. The kitchen is more than adequately equipped and there was plenty of room for multiple people to be cooking or visiting in the kitchen. The iguana's were everywhere and we enjoyed the two cats that came around regularly. Communication with the house manager was good. She does work a full time job in addition to managing the house so the responses aren't immediate, but they happened rather quickly.. She setup the private chef for us who catered to our various dietary needs. It was delicious! Would definitely stay here again!

this is probably the best kept secret on the Osa peninsula. if you are the type of person not looking for opulence but rather peace and tranquility in a more rugged setting than a lodge, this place is for you. there are no walls. therefore, there will be bugs in your house and there will be bats in your house. there are bug nets for the beds though. if you embrace the experience it offers, it's the best place you could go to in Costa Rica.

Great communication and location! Would recommend!

We had a great stay at this beautiful Airbnb! Clean, cosy, fantastic backyard where you’ll see a lot of animals, good location & easy to check-in. Amelia helped us with everything and made sure we had a pleasant stay, thank you again! Would definitely come back.

Great remote location for epic surf. Airbnb is modern, well stocked, and you can’t beat being steps from Marbella.

We had a lovely week. As you can see in the photos, this place is comfortable and nice. It has beautiful spaces such as hammocks, a swimming pool and a beautiful terrace with ocean views. I highly recommend it!!!

I’ve been to CR multiple times in Airbnb. This was by far the best place Ive stayed in. Spectacular house, spacing and little things (good kitchen, pool patio everything)…Katie was a great host, responsive and most importantly a really nice person. Highly recommend 🤙🏼

Real jungle feeling - wildly romantic - Fantastic views of the sea - in the rustic ambience - roaring waves on the beach - huge garden with table tennis, pool and many seating - lounging and hammocks for chilling - animal watching (nasal bear, capewara, iguanas etc...) more Costa Rica does not work 🤩💯🇨🇷 as in a fairy tale - unreal beautiful - particularly beautiful was the reception of Ximena, which gave us many tips for the area and activities- Sister 🌴🏝️

Aaron's house was one the best Airbnbs we've experienced and perfect for a couple or small family looking for a small slice of paradise. The property is very private and secure and the spaces are exceptionally well thought out. Besides the close proximity to Baker's beach, the outdoor space including the verandah, pool and lounging areas are thoughtfully designed for enjoyment. The kitchen is very functional for cooking meals at home. The living room is comfortable and if the sliding door to the verandah is open, it's a perfect outdoor living set up. Overall, it is obvious that Aaron has thought of details that can make or break an Airbnb experience and we appreciated that this home felt like a home and not just a space with the basics necessary for rental. Thank you, Aaron!

This is a great house, very convenient and comfortable, perfect to relax on vacation.

My family stayed here for a brief stay and it was amazing! The pictures were spot on to the actual in person view! The inside of the home was large, clean and just beautiful. Plenty of room for us all! The private pool was an absolute gem to have! Highly recommend this place!

Truly lovely stay. We needed a week of napping and swimming and this place definitely delivered. Very private pool. Fellow vegans - there is tofu at the Super Sol (grocery store within walking distance) and the restaurant Los Almendros had great vegan options (try the carrot/mango margarita🍹). Host is very friendly and responsive - we never needed anything but they still checked in to make sure everything was ok. Will be back for sure!

Beautiful home right on the beach with amazing host who was always right there to assist when needed. The home was immaculate and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The living room was a great relaxing spot and my favourite was the patio table overlooking the pool. We loved this home and you can tell the owner takes pride in hosting. We will be back at the first opportunity . Highly recommended. Thank you for an amazing few days!

Casa Mirage was a trip of a lifetime for our family and a lot of it has to do with the host and the staff. The place was exactly as described and more. THe host helped with everything from transportation to food. It's located in a small surf town with cute little coffee shop and a few good restaurants within walking. THe beach is walkable and super clean up to 4 miles and the water is warm and clean. The staff came around daily to clean up yard debris and clean inside. Kimberly was the chef and wow did she outdo herself. Helped us with grocery shopping and made us the best meals i've ever had! Her and her ladies were so kind and skilled. If we could go every year we would!! Thank you so much

Our stay was absolutely fantastic through and through. The location cannot be beat as its steps from the most beautiful beach. The back patio was shockingly private and offered a retreat from beach goers. The house its self was stocked with everything you need. It was definitely rustic which we loved but be aware that it has a bit of “glamping” vibe. Daniela was a fabulous host and made every accommodation for us to have the perfect trip and was responsive to all our questions.

This two-story condo #3 is a gem of a place on one of the flattest, accessible beaches on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast, Playa Flamingo. The Palms condo community is a mix of renters and owners - everyone was friendly without being overly intrusive. The onsite management was professional and responsive. There are a lot of staff onsite all day (bartender, groundkeepers, construction, etc.), so please know this when considering your privacy preferences. Condo #3 is situated toward one of the ends, so beachfront is in front of it vs the pool area. Steps from the fitness center and outdoor free equipment storage/massage tent. The condo was clean and comfortable. The master bed and pillows were very comfortable. Two picky things I suggest are charging stations for each nightstand and an outlet in the master bathroom for a hairdryer/electric razor. A 15 minute walk from the marina, and several shopping and restaurant options. Would highly recommend The Palms, especially unit 3.

Pros: - Having direct access to the beach was very nice - Being within walking distance of the whole town, with lots of restaurants and a store - The grounds keeper is there everyday, so he can provide you with anything that you need -Best AC we experienced in Costa Rica - Easy drive to Diamante Adventure Park, and well worth the money to do the full day pass Cons: - The days we shared the beach with the front property, felt like we were stepping on each others' toes using the chairs and hammocks - Between the bedroom & kitchen is an open air dining area, which means in order to get a late night snack/drink you have to get fully dressed and be prepared for the bugs - There is a motion sense alarm in the yard that auto sets, so remembering to turn it off before setting the alarm off was tricky sometimes.

Our stay at Jarrod’s place was incredible! Best vacation house you could ask for. Perfect location right on the beach but still super private. Having a swimming pool right on the ocean is about as good as it gets, we usually spend most of our vacation time at the beach but this house was so great we wound up spending more time by the pool. Also the house is stocked very well, everything an Airbnb/rental house should have this house has. Jarrod was very accommodating and helped us with transportation and Covid testing at the house. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Playa Negra area! We will definitely be coming back!

OBSESSED. The views, the space, the communication, the location… y’all. We’re sooooooo happy with our stay!!! We felt like kids in a candy shop exploring this house. It’s just SO beautiful. The decor and amenities inside are super thoughtful. The views are breathtaking!! We loved sitting on the porch sipping coffee, reading, etc. We loved the proximity to Father Rooster’s—a sweet little restaurant close by. It’s super tourist-friendly, but still felt authentic. Check in was smooth, after making contact with the on-site security (which we greatly appreciated!!). Communication with our host throughout the process was flawless! A couple of things to note: 1) The A/C units worked perfectly in the bedrooms; keeping the main living area cool during the heat of the day was a little tougher. But you are in Central America, after all! 2) The main bed was too soft for us. 3) Keep in mind that CR is a developing country, this house is on the edge of the neighborhood, and CR driving is nutty!

Are stay was awesome. The house and location were perfect, everything was as described online. The location was for us. This beach isnt really a family beach. but it close enough we're you can a day trip Manua Antonio or even Jaco. The sunset where amazing. They do have a pool in the community. Jason was an awesome host. Thank you....#Puravida

Our family really enjoyed our relaxing stay here. The views, the pool, and the patio were all perfect places to relax and enjoy our time together. The kitchen was well equipped. The 3 bedrooms all had their own nice en suite bathrooms which was great! I'd highly recommend this for a relaxing stay in an off the beaten path oceanfront spot! As other I read in other reviews, the beach did have lots of driftwood and some trash that had washed up. This didn't detract from our stay at all, but worth noting if that would bother you. Jorge was great with communication before and during our trip. The restaurant he recommended right outside the gated community was a great meal and the family running the restaurant were very welcoming and accommodating.
