House rentals with a pool

Large country property with pool / entire property
The house was in a private location, the owner and her husband were very responsive. They also had a couple that were there property managers that were able to let us in and check us out. We traveled with a large group and one of our family members forgot something at the house, when I contacted them they then informed me of other very expensive items that were left in their home, they sent me a picture of all of it. The property managers held on to it until we came back through town to fly out, they met up with us to return it and everything was accounted for. Truly a wonderful feeling for such honesty. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!

Casa Luna Bianchini - Enchanted Retreat
The house has all the amenities one needs, with a beautiful location and view The super clean house extends everything in excellent condition to my family and I love a place full of peace and relaxing we felt very comfortable !! And the super attentive hosts for anything we needed very kindly !! 😃

4BR Casa Peces Santa Ana, Indoor Pool & Sauna!
Casa Peces is well maintained and comfortable. The home is spacious and the neighborhood was peaceful. The pool was perfect. It was very easy to communicate with both Martha and Jessica. I would absolutely stay at Casa Peces again on a future trip!

Nature and exclusive pool
Excellent place, very private and centrally located. Very good attention from the hosts.

Condo (For 6) SJO Airport, Parque Viva, Pool.
It was very nice to stay here before we needed to go to the airport. Very clean house with modern furniture. Showers were great and my girlfriend never had better shampoo than over here.

Beautiful home, great views, pool, near to airport
Jorge is incredible, our flight from Panama to Costa Rica had mechanical difficulties so we didn't get to Costa Rico until 10:30 p.m. After picking up a rental (which I highly recommend if you are staying here) it was after midnight. We had some difficulty finding the house Jorge came out to meet us rather than just do directions. The house was very comfortable and the bathroom including the amenities were fabulous!

Large home, pool, and great view
Great place to stay .

Casa de Colores, 2B/2B, Athens, Alajuela CR
Beautiful place, with a pool and a private jacuzzi. Surrounded by nature. Tracy the host and Doña Maria the cleaning lady were exceptional and friendly. Very well-equipped house. We would definitely come back

Spacious house in a residential area near San José
The place is beautiful, very comfortable, excellent communication and location

7 beds | SJO | Fast Internet | Heredia | AC
Our third stay at one of Frank’s homes. We have stayed twice at the home next door to this. As always, it is a great pleasure. Both homes that Frank has in this complex are beautiful, clean, exactly like the pictures, and safe. Frank is an excellent host; kind, helpful, and responsive. I have never stayed in one place more than once, let alone three times…except these homes! We are planning a fourth stay for later in the year. If you want a safe, clean, beautiful, AC filled home…this is it. What a blessing to come back here!

A house with a beautiful view
Carla's place was very clean nice and comfortable I would highly recommend this rental for anybody visiting the Heredia province of Costa Rica or San Jose for that matter if you wanted to stay outside of the city

Centric, comfy home for 5+ guests & parking!
I felt safe here nice neighborhood

Authentic Costa Rican Luxurious Tropical Home
Wow! I loved staying with my wife and 4 sons at Evette’s home. Gerardo and Xenia who live in the guest quarters were incredibly helpful, kind, and were not an intrusion at all. It really really really helped that I speak Spanish, I think an English-only speaker would have some trouble without Google translate but overall it was easy to communicate. The home is very well equipped with many seating and dining areas. My teen sons loved the pool table and that each bedroom has its own bathroom (2 with bathtubs, rare in CR). I would definitely stay here again!

Cozzy & secure home for extended stays Costa Rica
We really enjoyed our stay! If we're ever back in Costa Rica, we would definitely stay here again!

HOUSE IN SAN JOSE, EASY ACCESS TO TOURIST AREAS
Very Good location in East San José, very close to shops, restaurants, movie theater, etc. Ideal for a family. I would recommend this place.

eco-casita near SJO airport
The Eco casa Airbnb was perfect for our family. We traveled with our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. We could easily get to and from the airport. We walked to restaurants an a Fresh Market grocery. The house was clean and well appointed. The shower and fluffy towels, and well furnished kitchen were much appreciated.

Grecia’s Gem
This home was absolutely beautiful. A modern/contemporary style home with open air concept and a beautiful backyard. Star fruit, cas, and a type of orange tree, I was able to pick fresh fruit and make smoothies everyday. Backyard is very active with hummingbirds, butterflies and other birds that visit daily. We spent a lot of time on the patio. There is a roof top deck for spectacular night time views. The neighborhood is nice, we were there over the weekend and it seemed as if on Sunday it really came to life with people working in their yards, music playing, children in the park across the street. There is a Pali market & other stores within walking distance, it may not be a walk for all as it is on an incline. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook a meal, modern appliances, Ninja blender, a refrigerator with an ice maker, filtered Brita water pitcher, etc. The home was very clean and well maintained. David is an excellent host and very helpful.

10 minutes from Juan S. airport, very central
Super comfortable

Casa Güitite (10 min from airport)
Beautiful home, plenty of space, I was wowed by how much hardwood was used in every detail!

Casa Botánica Aranjuez - Guesthouse
We were seduced by this beautiful house with old charm. Interior decorated simply and tastefully. The house has everything you need. Note that the parking offered is not suitable for large cars. We recommend this beautiful place and will definitely go back!

Stellar House near INCAE 7 min & Airport 19 min
Daisy’s place was the perfect location to start our adventure. Everything was on point, clean and free of clutter. The restaurant, at just one minute walking distance, was a convenient option and the food was good. I highly recommend this place to stay as it’s closer to the airport and at reasonable distance to explore around San Jose.

The Red Castle
we loved this house. it was a wonderful stay and would stay again.

Luxury Retreat Near SJO – Nature, Comfort & Style
Stop scrolling & searching... if you're fortunate enough to have pleasure of being able to book, BOOK IT NOW. it's everything you see in the photos, and so much more... the view, aroma of nature, sound of the flowing stream birds and wildlife. By far my best stay, and I haven't even gotten to the best part. It's hard to describe the sense of security felt when you have an incredible loving and accommodating neighbor readily available and more than willing to help. Best way to put it is; it feels as if you've lived here for 10 years and are related to Julian his lovely wife and Marcella. You guys really added icing to the cake on this trip . Pora Vida
