Holiday rentals with a patio in Ballena Bay

Truly amazing stay. Laura could not of been a better host. From the start we felt right at home and Laura was kind enough to offer us rides to town to show us around. She made us feel right at home and her property is beautiful. For getting to town just use Uber, it’s really cheap! Casa Catalina is the perfect spot in Tamarindo and Laura could not have been a better more thoughtful host!

El lugar es maravilloso, las vistas desde la terraza preciosas y tiene todas las comodidades, sin duda un lugar al que regresaría por su tranquilidad y comodidad

SECRT sabana is a very new hotel that is well secured, which made us feel comfortable and safe. It is near a lot of good restaurants and very near to the heart of San Jose so there is lots to do. Miguel was super responsive and the hotel staff made check in and check out easy! Be sure if you stay here to dedicate some time to exploring the various floors. Each one is themed and some have fun conference rooms, libraries, and lounges!

My time in Costa Rica was great but what made it the best experience was my Airbnb with Leidy she was absolutely amazing the entire way and very helpful and communicative. I can’t wait to stay at her property again. Definitely worth it. The place was beautiful and clean and it made me forget all about my own home 😂

Our stay was amazing! The property is beautiful, we even saw monkeys in the tree from our balcony. We loved how close it was to town but also secluded enough so we could enjoy nature. Would love to stay again! Keep in mind the parking spots are at the bottom of a steep driveway. Not far by any means but it is a steep walk up.

If your coming to Costa rica, I'd 100% recommend staying here. the space was big and it came with everything you needed and then some. we were able to get to everywhere close by amd easily. Not to mention we were able to walk to the nearest convienance store and pick up household items. Plus, they have internet and are quick to respond with any queations you may have. Don't think twice, if this spot is open get it. I stayed for over 7 days and it was all worth it!

Gabriel’s place was so nice! The apartment was easy to get to, clean and tidy, and was walkable to lots of places! Gabriel also sent lots of recommendations for food and beverage. The parking was SO convenient and front desk staff were friendly. This place is great to explore San Jose! Thank you Gabriel, we hope to be back!!

David was more than helpful with an easy early check in, and he sent an amazing list of things to prepare for, local recommendations and places to see along with some to avoid. His communication was clear, helpful, and very responsive. it was a pleasure to use his space during my trip.

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.

This house is lovely and the view is gorgeous. We spent much of our time on the porch enjoying the pool, hot tub and view. I highly recommend some time relaxing at the house. Fabian was very helpful in planning excursions. The beds were so comfortable and there was plenty of hot water! We also were grateful for enough seating for everyone in our party both outside and in the living room. We did have a 1 year old with us and that was challenging in the layout of the house but we made it work. Highly recommend this house and this area. So much to do! Do the daytime Mangrove tour and guided MA park tour. Pura Vida!

Barbara and John were literally the kindest people in Costa Rica you could stay with. Our toddler, the biggest food critic of them all loved every food recommendation we received. He danced to the music in restaurants and was welcomed with love by locals. The home is so private, relaxing, beautifully decorated, everyone in our family felt at home here. We cooked in the kitchen and found it fully equipped and easy to cook for a group. We loved watching monkeys swaying on neighboring trees and birds singing each morning near the large deck. We slept so peacefully in their comfortable large beds every night and the space was quite large so our kiddo got to get his wiggles out. Their pool was the perfect temperature everyday and large enough you could do laps. John provided such a throughout and very legit surf lesson. Overall we LOVED this home and it was well worth the journey into this cool little surf town. - Christina

Die Aussicht ist ein absoluter Traum. Es gibt auch viele Tukane und andere Tiere , um das Haus zu sehen. Es kommen allerdings auch viele Insekten ins Haus und kein warmes Wasser zum Duschen. Die Aussicht hat aber für alles entschädigt!

Marlen was a great host! she was always responsive and quick. when we arrived she took us on a tour of the property. The place was nice and peaceful. we even got greeted by the neighbors puppy!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home tucked into the jungle. The setting is very serene, with the sound of the river always in the background and the plethora of wildlife all around. The bed was very comfy, so a good nights rest was practically guaranteed. There are a few things I would note for anyone considering the home, especially if this is your first visit to the area. It is a 10+ minute rocky drive to the home off the main road, not a big deal with a sturdy car. Especially during rainy season, there’s a good chance you’ll lose power at some point, but seems to be restored quickly. Most places, including this home, discouraged you from flushing toilet paper, an adjustment from home. Being that this place is so small, there’s not a ton of privacy between the bathroom and bedroom, and the living area is not meant for lounging. That’s what the outdoor spaces are for! This was an experience unlike any other we’ve had in our previous visits to CR, I highly recommend it!

Such a great property with relaxing and beautiful views. Got a chance to see lots of different birds and butterflies right on the property even heard some monkeys but they were far away. Over all a great place to stay if you just want to get away and be around nature

We had an amazing time at this Airbnb. We honestly did not want to leave. It was extremely private, clean, Madeleine responded very quickly to every message sent. Her co host was right down the road and helped with anything we needed as well. The garden is gorgeous, the pool was perfect, and we felt right at home. So many beautiful touches to the property. Everyday we could hear the howler monkeys and most days they were right outside in the trees. So many birds as well. We really loved this Airbnb it was perfect for our stay. The beaches are so close and the small restaurants in the village had great food. Super close to Montezuma Falls as well. Will definitely be coming back!!!

We really loved our stay at Purapura! The apartment was super clean and beautifully set up—felt like a little oasis. The owner gave us great tips on things to do and places to eat, which made a big difference. It’s in a great spot too—walking distance to the main street with tons of restaurants, and also close to the beach. We spent our days chilling by the pool, surfing, and trying out all the good food in Santa Teresa. Would definitely recommend it!

Nos encantó nuestra estadía este fin de semana. El apartamento estaba impecable, muy bonito, bien equipado. La ubicación es excelente, con fácil acceso, la playa a solo unos pasos y piscinas muy lindas para disfrutar y relajarse. Además, la atención de Carla fue excelente: muy amable y atenta en todo momento. Sin duda, un lugar al que volveríamos. ¡100% recomendado!

Nos encantó el alojamiento, demasiado hermoso con detalles muy lindos y acogedores! Stephanie es sumamente atenta y fue muy especial con nosotros, estuvo pendiente para que la pasáramos excelente. Nos encantó y lo recomiendo totalmente. 🤩

El apartamento está precioso, desde el primer momento Esteban fue muy claro con las instrucciones y esto hizo que el Check in fuera sumamente sencillo y rápido! Todo estaba ya listo, Esteban es muy colaborador y tiene un excelente trato.

Ernesto was a great host with great communication we loved the location and had a great time.

Great location for exploring the city. The apartment is compact but well-equipped and clean. Perfect for a short stay!

El lugar estuvo súper bien, teníamos todo a la mano, lo único es que el lugar tiene poca ventilación y nosotros no sentimos que el ventilador de techo hiciera mucho aire como tal, sin embargo había un ventilador de pie y ese si funcionó bastante bien. El apartamento está bastante bien equipado, el internet y todo lo demás 10/10

Beautiful apartment and beautiful views of the city especially at night. Not having AC wasn't even a problem there are plenty of fans and windows with a cool breeze coming in from being up to high.
