Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Malpais

Our stay was fantastic, and I highly recommend this place. The house is tucked away in the jungle, surrounded by trees, palms, lush vegetation, and various animals. You can relax inside with air conditioning while enjoying the view through the large windows, or unwind on the spacious terrace and take in the natural surroundings. The interior was exactly as described - clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything listed. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Communication was excellent: quick responses, clear instructions, and even help guiding us to the house, which isn’t the easiest to find. There’s a beach nearby, and even the heart of the tourist area is within easy reach. You’ll definitely need a real 4x4 vehicle, as reaching the property requires crossing a stream several times - which can become more challenging during the rainy season. We would definitely choose this place again if we return to Costa Rica.

Great location and privacy! Everything you need in one place

We loved staying at Casa Wahoo. Quiet little corner away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Teresa, yet easy to get to various surf breaks and town. The place was very clean and felt new/nice. Only 2 of the 3 bedrooms had AC, so we just shared 2 rooms. AC in the main area and the 2 rooms worked great.

This place is just perfect! It's very spacious: the kitchen has everything you could need, and each bedroom has its own bathroom. The private patio is amazing, with a large pool, a hammock, and surrounded by nature (it’s magical) We kept saying we were definitely coming back… and we actually extended our stay to spend the rest of our trip here! Alvaro is hand down the best host we've ever had. He arranged pizza delivery for us on the first day, gave us great recommendations, and even connected us with an ATV rental company that delivered the ATVs to the house and picked them up the next day. Incredible service! We highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back someday. Note: You’ll need a 4x4 or an ATV to get to the house, especially after sunset. It’s walkable during the day, but once it gets dark, it gets very tricky — though still doable with a flashlight if you're feeling adventurous!

Très belle casita! C’était propre et identique aux photos, très sécuritaire. Alexia était très gentille, répondait rapidement aux messages et aux petits soins de ses invités. Nous recommandons fortement d’y séjourner lors de votre passage a Santa-térèsa.

Diese Unterkunft war der Hammer, Julie hat uns spät in der Nacht empfangen und uns alles gezeigt, nicht nur dass. Die Buchung war sehr spontan und es klappte alles hervorragend, wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Airbnb und würden es jedem empfehlen der in Santa Teresa ist, dies zu buchen. Ich danke nochmals herzlich für alles und wir freuen uns auf ein nöchstes mal!🫶🏼

La casa es absolutamente espectacular, las vistas son maravillosas, diría que a la casa le falta un poco temas de mantenimiento en las zonas verdes, la Refri de abajo casi no enfría y de las amenidades ofrecidas hizo falta la parrilla de gas. Sin embargo nada de esto impidió que pasáramos una excelente estadía y que además la comunicación con Max fuese muy amable en todo momento.

Rainbow House was a great place to stay. Surrounded by trees with great view of the Pacific Ocean. Steep climb to the house but that was great exercise. Chachi was responsive to our requests and is very helpful.

Our friends rented this house a year ago and loved it so much that we decided to book it for our honeymoon, and we are happy we did. The Casa Mirame concierge team made everything flawless - from restaurant recommendations and setting up excursions, to even booking our 4x4 rental at the Cobano Airport. You need 4x4. The road is steep and partially unpaved. However, the drive is more than worth it. The home is spotless, includes daily maid service, looks better than the photos, and the views are magical. The place is totally private, and the pool is AMAZING. We would watch birds and listen to monkeys and the waves in the distance while the sun set.

Such a lovely stay, the villa is gorgeous, views are stunning, we loved it! The hill is walkable but steep so it was definitely a good work out, we had a 4x4 and it managed it fine. Santa Teresa is great, so many restaurants and bars, we surfed/tried to, headed to Montezuma for zip wire and thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets from the villa. BBQ and kitchen was great, we ate in a few times and quite enjoyed watching the ant action at night. Tomi the dog was a lovely extra we discovered he loved chomping on ice cubes, he was a gem! The hosts are very responsive, loved the info they sent it was great, would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful house! Yoad was incredibly friendly and attentive. The property was just as described, with a beautiful view and a very private setting. Great location—close to supermarkets and shops. It’s also very pet-friendly, which was a big plus. We’d definitely love to come back. A fantastic spot! I recommend!

Amazing place in the jungle! It’s incredibly peaceful, perfect for relaxation and disconnecting from the world. However, be prepared for a steep road—you’ll need a 4x4 to get there. Since it’s deep in the jungle, you might encounter some interesting insects. Overall, a fantastic getaway for nature lovers!

The treehouse was stunning, the host communication through our stay superb. Definitely felt private and like an oasis. Perfect for someone staying in Santa Teresa who wants to be away from the hustle and bustle of the main area but close enough to enjoy. We took advantage of her breakfast in bed which was lovely the one morning we had it. Would highly recommend!

We had a great time at Villa Lasai! Sophie- the concierge, did a great job assisting us with anything we needed and the house itself is exactly what you see on the pictures- gorgeous with breathtaking views, great pool and outdoor area. I am not an early bird by any means but I enjoyed waking up early in this house a lot- hearing all the forest inhabitants, ocean waves breaking somewhere further make you want to start your day to see/feel more of that. The house is located up the hill and the road is partially paved which took us one full round trip to get used to, but once you get a hang of it- it’s totally fine just a bit bumpy. In terms of proximity to everything the location is great, once you’re down the hill- you’re on the main street of Santa Teresa with all the restaurants, shops and tons of ocean access points. Overall, would definitely recommend Villa Lasai and would love to come back here some time in the future!

Diane’s place far exceeded our expectations. Great location, very tastefully decorated. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there and available. The setting is amazing, looking out over the jungle and seeing the monkeys off the balcony. The sounds in the morning and evening are amazing. Great pool, grill etc etc. We would come back here in a heart beat.

We had an amazing time at the Ocean View Villa. Adriana and the staff that take care of the property were so friendly and hospitable. We visited during rainy season, and they were so quick to pull the lounge chair cushions under cover to prevent them from getting soaked. We felt very safe and comfortable the entire stay. They gave us helpful tips before and during our stay. The house and views were so good. The local area was fun to explore. We are so grateful to have had a chance to stay here and would recommend it to anyone wanting to have a fantastic stay in Costa Rica!

We had a great stay at Casa Mango. The pictures were accurate and the place was spotless Laura the host was flawless, she’s was constantly available - giving us suggestions and advice through out our stay, very attentive and made our stay so much more enjoyable with the use of local knowledge. We even extended our stay. Thanks ☺️

We loved spending two nights in nature. It was so peaceful! Esteban was immediately there upon our arrival and Ingrid checked in daily to ensure everything was going well. The Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve is extremely close (you can walk) and it was beautiful to hike there. We did not see deer but my morning yoga session on the deck with 5-10 monkeys jumping in the trees was spectacular. I will not forgot this. I also could watch them from the shower. This place is just a delight.

This place was one of my favorites for sure! About 10-15 from Santa Teresa. Overall the apartment has everything you need. (The place is pretty well equipped). Amazing sunlight throughout the house and the gated community is a huge plus. Julio was also amazing! Would come back

Carlie was very responsive and helpful, she left detailed instructions, we had no issues finding the location or getting situated. The home is very spacious, we enjoyed the beautiful view from the balconies, we were able to appreciate the sound of howling monkeys on several occasions and were able to get a good view of them as well! the home is within walking distance to the beach although we had small children so we drove each time, restaurants and shops are within 5-15 minute driving distance to the home, there are several beach options which is great! the home has laundry, a huge bonus for us.

Fue nuestra primera vez en la zona y desde antes de reservarlo, Lorna fue muy atenta explicando y recomendando qué lugares visitar. En sitio te recibe Adonis quien en todo momento fue super atento, amigable y anuente a ayudarte en todo, desde dónde comer hasta cómo llegar a las playas y de paso enseñarte el lugar. Que dicho sea de paso es divino en medio de muchos árboles, sonido de pajaritos y visita de los monos aulladores. El apartamento está súper bien equipado, limpio, blanco y una luz natural hermosa. El pueblo tiene una vibra lindísima, la playa tiene muchas piedras pero ese es su encanto. La cereza en el pastel son Luna y Toby que te acompañan en las caminatas y la piscina entre una sombra muy apenas para relajarse en la tarde. Sin duda, volveremos 🫶🏼.

Beautiful stay, responsive hosts and incredibly helpful, friendly on-site staff. Very quiet, relaxing atmosphere. I often had the pool to myself. This was one of the most beautiful accomodations I’ve had with the best customer service. I accidentally broke a glass and they sent someone within minutes to sweep with a dustpan and deep clean the next morning. I was impressed. I will definetly hope to return with my loved ones!

muy buen apartamento todo perfecto junior un fenomeno fenómeno todo muy lindo super recomendable

We loved our month stay with Rachel, Danny, Ghetto and Tiguron! We felt at home immediately. The airbnb was as expected if not better, perfect for a long stay and working remotely. Close to the main road, it's a 3 mins drive to Santa Teresa. We recommend using an ATV to go around - Rachel and Danny have a great rental recommandation! Talking about recommandations, they have so many great spots they shared with us that made our stay even more enjoyable. We hope to stay there again next time we come back at Santa Teresa!
