Villa holiday rentals in Las Catalinas

The view is absolutely amazing! The villa has all the amenities you’ll want and is very safe with two gates, alarm system and security cameras. The sounds of the jungle and the wildlife are very present. Very peaceful and relaxing. If you don’t mind driving 20 min to Tamarindo and seeing a few bugs, this is the best Airbnb to rent! The host is very nice and responsive. Would definitely go back!

We loved our stay at Kaya Villas and will definitely be back. Beds were very comfortable, the grounds beautiful and private, and close to great food and the ocean. We loved having Plays Avellanas as our home base and honestly didn’t feel the need to stray too far. Went to Tamarindo one afternoon and then to Playa Grande several times as well. Our host was super welcoming and helpful as well. 10/10!

Excellent place and service from Jorge. The place is very quiet and safe. The accommodation is very nice to enjoy the pool or a family barbecue. Jorge was always available for any needs. There are a variety of beaches that are close to the place or even if the river on route 911 is low you can reach the beaches of the Gulf of Papagayo in a short time.

Villa Guacamaya Roja was a great house in Playa Grande. About 8 minutes to walk to the beach. Large pool for the area. Great rooms. Really responsive concierge who helped book rides and excursions for the days we didn't just hang out in Playa Grande. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely great! We had the best time. Wonderful house and pool. Staff were all wonderful.

Amazing house and location!

Kattya was AMAZING!! She helped us plan excursions, promptly answered every question (we had a lot!), suggested restaurants, and found us an extra golfcart for our large group. Norma is the caretaker of the property and you can pay her extra to cook meals. DO IT!!! We had Norma cook us breakfast every morning. She shopped, prepared the meal, and cleaned. We had fresh fruit with every breakfast & the coffee was perfection. Norma cooked one dinner for us, but we should've had her cook every dinner. We had grilled chicken and Mahi Mahi, rice, beans, mango salsa, and pico. We ate dinners out but nothing compared to Norma (cost & taste. We wanted to experience local restaurants but should've eaten with Norma & gone out after for drinks. Mauricio was hired to drive us and he is a HOOT! Local and knows everyone! Beds are comfortable. AC works great! There is street noise but once you're behind the gate on the property, it is like your own paradise. Iguanas are everywhere! So cool!

5 Star Review: A Slice of Paradise in Costa Rica! Our stay at this stunning ocean-view Airbnb was nothing short of amazing. The views are absolutely breathtaking—sunrises and sunsets from the terrace were unforgettable. The private pool was pristine and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The outdoor space is beautifully designed and made it easy to enjoy the tropical weather—whether lounging, dining, or just soaking in the scenery. Inside, the large kitchen was fully equipped and made cooking a breeze. The hosts were fantastic—friendly, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and memorable stay. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with luxury touches and incredible hospitality, this is it. We can't wait to return!

Las Catalinas was amazing and this was a wonderful house. Pool was great. House mom service was a real treat—delicious breakfasts! Concierge service was very helpful in booking activities. We loved it here and would definitely come back. Thanks!

Everything you expect. Great home, great host. Very clean, nice pool. Excellent communication. Only the surf teacher that was recomended wasn’t that good but that’s not on the host in my opinion.

It was our second stay at Villa St. Barth, and we hope it will not be the last one. We enjoy this privacy oasis very close to the touristy areas of the Tamarindo Coast. The property is secluded; you neither see nor feel any neighbours, yet it is just a few hundred meters away from a very nice fish restaurant. The house is squeaky clean and very comfortable to live in. The property's focal point is a pool suitable for lap swimming. We spend hours in the pool daily, looking for a busy bird life and occasional squirrels or monkeys.

We had an incredible stay at the villa. The view was absolutely breathtaking and we loved lounging by the pool. Although a car is advisable for this area, the drive to beaches and stores was quick and easy. Would certainly recommend and stay here again!

After relocating from a disappointing rental, we struck gold with Casa Ruby! While our previous place lacked essentials and a safe pool, this home was perfect for our group (2 couples, 3 kids). The unique layout gave everyone their own bedroom and bathroom - a luxury when traveling with family. The stunning pool was immaculate with plenty of toys. We loved the outdoor space for morning coffee and the convenient BBQ and outdoor fridge for poolside drinks. The recent renovations show in every detail - luxe furnishings and incredibly comfortable beds with hotel-quality linens made sleeping heavenly. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking, and the living room offered games and a TV. Location is ideal - 8-minute walk to the night market and Little Lucha's amazing tacos, 15 minutes to the beach (or $4 Uber). Thank you Fernando and Valerie for sharing your hidden gem. Truly a dream home away from home - we hope to return!

Chateau Mar Vista is a fantastic stay, this is my second time there! It’s in a private community with a 24/7 guard at the gate at the bottom of the hill so feels very safe, and the drive up to the house, with its beautiful ocean views, is easy (just be sure to rent a SUV if you can). The house itself is fantastic, with AC units now in all the bedrooms and central air for the main spaces for comfort which was is all easy to use. The beaches of Hermosa, Coco, and Panama are all short drives away. This area seems to be really picking up steam with new restaurants and activities. Tyler and the Chateau team are highly responsive and happy to make recommendations. Definitely leverage them for making plans, whether that’s a fishing trip, ATVs, or whatever they have great guides they can hook you and your group up with. But just staying in the house, hanging in and around the awesome pool, and spending time with your group cooking or grilling food (there’s a grill by the pool) is great too.

The house is beyond beautiful! We had a great time and Vanessa was super helpful and responsive the whole time. Definitively recommend and want to come back soon ❤️

You won’t regret booking The Palms! A private, quiet retreat that was upscale and away from the hustle and bustle and party scene of some of the other Pacific Costa Rican beach towns. As a family of 5 with 3 kids ranging from 8-13 yrs old, the size of the condo was great, the kids enjoyed swimming in the waves at the beach, boogie boarding, and playing in the infinity pool with stunning beach views and sunsets. The grounds were beautiful and the staff was very attentive and kind. The bartender made me a drink off menu simply because I asked for something “uniquely Costa Rican!” The condo itself was well-stocked with staples to make for such a convenient stay. It’s even better than we imagined. There was a hiccup at check-in which caused some stress and a maintenance issue, but the Palms and host quickly made things right which was very appreciated.

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

If you’re looking for a nice remote retreat then this is the place for you! Really felt away from the noise, just remember your bug spray!

This home was perfect for our group of six! The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were beautiful as well. Being able to do laundry was super helpful given we are traveling for two weeks with carry ons only. The host was very responsive and helpful during our whole stay! During our three night stay we easily got to see three beaches in the area! The only downside to this was the drive in to the property. While the home is in a gated community the drive there is through and underdeveloped area of guanacaste with unpaved roads with huge potholes. We had 4 wheel drive so it wasn’t a huge deal. This stay was still definitely worth the price!

This place was incredible! Very clean and spacious. The pool was a great touch. It’s close to town and walkable if you don’t mind a small hill. We saw lizards, monkeys, and a lot of birds right outside! Will definitely be staying here again.

We had an amazing stay at casa Bosque. The beach club was a real plus and the location was out of the crowds in tamarindo but close enough to get to everything quickly/easily. Rosa took amazing care of us, she is such a gem! Highly recommend this house when visiting tamarindo!

Patricia’s home was precisely what our group was looking for in Costa Rica—spacious enough for 9 people (including two couples), private and safe, full of amenities look cooking supplies, and responsive hosts. Patricia and Susan were more responsive than any host I’ve ever stayed with. They messaged us on Airbnb and other apps for ease of communication, and check-in, which was a breeze, included a tour with the property manager. They also connected us with the most trustworthy, affordable, high-quality transportation and tour company. The property was safe, well air conditioned, comfortable, and easily accessible. If our group finds ourselves in Guanacaste again, we’d love to return to Casa Bella Tortuga once more. You made my partner’s birthday and PhD graduation celebrations all the more special. Thank you!

We loved our stay at Villa Sashimi and hope to come back soon! We loved to be surrounded by nature yet very near to the beach, super markets and restaurants. The house is very comfortable and clean, and the property grounds are beautiful!

A stunning property! Upon opening the door we were in awe of the beautiful view and house amenities. While the kitchen, main bedroom and main bed outdoor deck are the biggest highlights is this property…the entire home was perfect for a family of four and we were impressed by all areas. Comfy linens, upscale appliances, spotless surroundings and kind condo staff are just some of the reasons this stay was one of our best of all time. The town of Playa del Coco is within minutes, the black sand beach feels private and pools/restaurant are great. I consider our family particular and this house didn’t disappoint. We can’t wait to come back!
