Waterfront holiday rentals in Bahía Ballena

Matapalo Beach is a wonderful beach with little tourism. The wildlife around the area is diverse and never lets you get bored. The sunrises and sunsets are probably the most beautiful in the surrounding area. Without a rental car, however, I would not recommend Matapalo, because it is very difficult to make trips to the surroundings by public transport, then you are simply stuck at this beautiful, not overcrowded beach. Laura's place was ideal for the first three months, very quiet and relaxing, all around the diverse singing and chirping of species-rich birdlife. However, the last month was not so great: right behind the accommodation, someone built a new building and almost all this last month was unbearable construction noise day after day, even on weekends; this was nerve-wracking and no longer a vacation. But once the building is completed, peace and quiet will return.

We enjoyed our stay at the Cabinas La Chirincocas. William was available and easy to communicate with. Pablo greeted us warmly and allowed for flexible check in. The room and amenities made for a comfortable stay, and it was very clean. The location was great for walking to the Bahia Ballena park with many excellent restaurants. Would stay again.

Beautiful place! So serene in the middle of a national park. We enjoyed taking a stroll down to the beach every day, looking for wildlife and ultimately relaxing. The house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed! The area had a lot to offer and we checked out some of places recommended to us which we enjoyed. This area has a lot to offer without feeling touristy.

This place is SO MUCH nicer than what's allowed in the photos. Our host was very welcoming and communication was easy. The unit is right in the middle of the jungle, so we had all kinds of interesting and photo-worthy wild passersby. Despite being in a condominium the property seemed to have the right amount of isolation and privacy. And the beach !!!!, almost lonely, you arrive on a trail that you enter peace of mind to relax, I went with my 4 month old baby and it was very easy to access the baby car to the beach, you will find a lot of shade under the lush trees, which helped keep cool and a good rest from my baby. There are many restaurants in the area, and if you don't want to go out by a supermarket and shopping to prepare your meals, the kitchen is fully stocked, or you can walk on the beach at Villa Eleonor a local restaurant, arrive on time because it takes a little time to serve the food, We'll be back soon

Had a great stay. Friendly welcome and chatted in the evening, we were still allowed to use the swimming pool, especially for us the water sprinklers in the pool were turned on. Wonderfully woken up with tropical noises and fruits in the morning.

Wow what a Gem! This condo is amazing and so luxurious! The jungle walk to the private beach was my absolute favorite to do in the morning. The pool is dreamy. Everything was stunning and squeaky clean in the condo. The beds were out of this world comfortable and any question I had Danielle and Gregory were always just 1 message away. 10/10 would recommend!

Our stay at this property was absolutely incredible, with a breathtaking view! The room was clean, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped. The concierge was welcoming, and we appreciated for a hot shower and fresh towels. The pool area was stunning and well-maintained.However, there are a few areas that could be improved. It good to have coffee or tea for guest, and we were surprised to find there was no iron. Additionally, some house rules were unexpected, such as the prohibition on drones and no BBQs, despite them being shown in the photos. Although the balcony is shared with other guests, we were fortunate to have it mostly to ourselves. The bar chairs on the balcony were not very comfortable, and there was only one patio chair for the two of us. We also felt a bit uncomfortable with the presence of several cameras on the property, including one right of our apartment. Despite these minor issues, our overall experience was fantastic! We would definitely stay again!

Ian's hotel is the perfect little spot in Dominical. Great location great pool great rooms. Great crowd. Ian himself is a cool guy and has fun plans to expand the place. Really looking forward to staying again sometime.

Chris and Kristen are such amazing hosts! They are kind, attentive and communicate very well. They have an amazing guide book that could answer almost every question you have about traveling here and if it doesn’t, they respond quickly if you text them. The property itself is so beautiful. Their garden of plants and trees is captivating and with the river flowing behind it all, it’s like you have your own little sanctuary. The pictures can’t do it justice. My room was clean and there’s a good bit of open space which I liked. My stay here was so magical and I’ll never forget it. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Pura Vida - Great host and location. Walkable to the beach and several restaurants. Calm oasis in the back yard, where we could see Tucans, howler monkeys and an array of birds! Host is very responsive and we also appreciated having air conditioning as well as a washer / dryer. Uvita is a great place to visit with a ton of fun activities, and having the small pool onsite was really nice to escape the hot midday sun. The full kitchen is also a bonus. Modern, easy - with good WiFi and a good host. The howler moneys did wake us up in the morning, but that was actually pretty cool alarm clock - although they sounded like a sick dog!!! We stayed at 3 places, all of which said you’d see moneys, never saw any and we saw them all from the comfort of the shaded porch here.

The host was very friendly. Responds quickly. Instructions were all very good. House good location close to the beach . Very private place. We loved the stay was very good.

an excellent place to relax and rest. beaches nearby and places to walk.

We had a fantastic time at Carlos' home, which is airy and beautiful, spare and clean and close to so many amazing and beautiful spots of which we only scratched the surface. Carlos was a great communicator which was much appreciated. And the view is astounding.

What you're going to find is much better than what you can see in the photos, the house and its surroundings are quiet and private... very comfortable, I definitely hope to return.

We’ve lived in Costa Rica and been to almost every corner of the country. Natalia’s property and guest house is one of a kind and incredibly special. Only thing to be aware of is that there is only A/C in the master bedroom and it gets quite humid (expected). Wonderful place to stay and be truly immersed in the south coast.

A great experience! Dont hesitate to book.

Above all it was excellent We were surprised to arrive and see such a beautiful, tidy, organized and clean place, the pool is quite deep (about 1.70cm since I measure 1.47 and did not reach the bottom) Which is quite comfortable to swim at ease and dive for a while, the kitchen is very well equipped⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ With Victor I did not have to wait 2 minutes for him to respond, he always gave with the result of my inquiries, and Gabriela undoubtedly to some very kind and attentive to our needs, the place is just as in the photos, close to beaches and the place is very quiet to take a walk, go to eat, beach and even waterfalls(10 minutes by car) I recommend it quite a bit, in short we will come back some day⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everything is very good and it is as in the photos and also the atmosphere is nice since there is a clash of cultures and you can get along well

Isaac was very kind, quick to respond and to help us with our questions. The place is impeccable and the amenities are exactly as described, the atmosphere is very quiet and the view is very nice with lots of nature, totally worth it! :)

Perfect location between Emilio's Cafe and Hotel Mariposa. We walked to every fantastic meal we enjoyed. Loved the pool and the monkeys. Host's assistant Hector was very helpful and responsive. Thank you!!

Isaac is a very welcoming and warm host, always ready to serve us, very receptive and full of good recommendations in the area. We loved our quiet little stay in Quepos in this beautiful apartment, we would happily go back. Being very close to Manuel Antonio National Park, it is the ideal place to explore the nature of Costa Rica. I recommend all first-time travelers staying in this little corner to go for a walk, you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful macaws in the tree right outside the hotel! The owners are a very nice family and live on-site for support if needed. The communal kitchen was actually kept very clean, and each room has a designated section in the fridge and a box for non-refrigerated foods. The communal space was a nice way to meet others in the hotel. It isn’t a very walkable area, but that’s Uvita in general, so I’d recommend having a car or renting a scooter in the town (the hotel has plenty of parking spots). I worked remotely while there and the wifi was good for video calls.

We enjoyed our stay! It was walking distance to the national park and the beach, as well as several restaurants and bars. Our gps said we were there before we arrived-You’ll be turning on beach park trail rd that may not look like a road you can drive on, but it is.

Compared to the other properties in the area for the price, everything was perfect. I wish I had read a little more to know there was no a/c but it really wasn’t much of a problem. Lots of properties don’t have a/c in the area. It’s common. Thanks Tina!
