Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Santa María

We kicked off our honeymoon in Costa Rica at Axel's place for 4-nights. When we arrived, it was the evening so it was dark out. The following morning we were totally blown away by the beauty of this lovely farm! Gorgeous green trees, flowers, monsteras, & mountains are surrounding you. The view is spectacular (even when it is raining or cloudy). The house has hammocks to relax in, a kitchen equipped with everything you need to make a delicious meal, a very comfy bed, and views to die for! Toucan-spotting over coffee in the morning was a highlight. Axel was not only a great host but a lovely person to chat with! If you are looking for a more remote Costa Rican experience, this is the place for you. Highly recommend and are definitely planning to come back to this wonderful place! Thanks again Axel!!

Beautiful landscape. Wish we could have stayed more than one night. Home was great and close to the airport. Great way to welcome us to Costa Rica

The gardens were a wonderfully peaceful respite. It was like taking a vacation while on vacation. The room was great, as described, and even had a dehumidifier available. The property is away from the city (we were able to Uber in and out of the city without too much issue - just a delay in finding a driver one night. We loved exploring and having our morning coffee in the gardens. We didn’t meet Phil, and we weren’t able to get a gate opener for our stay, but it worked out OK with two of us (one to drive the car and the other to get out and operate the gate).

This place was perfect for us, two adults and two kids (12 and 9 yrs old). We had originally planned on staying at another place higher on the hill until we realized the road to get there was insanely steep and challenging to navigate, especially during the rainy season. Eric’s place was easy to get to, with a friendly security guard monitoring traffic into the neighborhood. The view was AMAZING, the beds were comfy and the pool was clean and refreshing. Great location for exploring other beaches and the towns of Dominical and Uvita and an easy 1.25 hr drive south to Sierpe for a mangrove boat tour (which was awesome) or to access Corcovado NP. Eric and Fabiola were wonderful and very helpful hosts. First-timer advice: if you’re renting a car, go with a smaller 4x4, we got a Hyundai Kona. Barely fits our luggage, but easy to navigate on narrow Costa Rican roads and small parking spaces.

Amazing! Had a great time at the place. I will definitely stay at the place again. Martha was an excellent host, and Jessica (the house caretaker) was amazing as well. My family and I really enjoyed our stay! We really appreciated everything. Thank you!

Grey place, had a phone number to call in case we had any issues, and when we called they were super responsive

Un lugar maravilloso de mucha paz

A absolute privilege to spend a few days here as a family. A gem of a house that felt immediately like a home. We loved the quirks and the passion for enjoyment. Top of our price range but to us it was worth every penny. Thank you Tucker.

Amazing, very responsive! Easy for overnight before headed to airport

Amazing stay!!! Massi was a great host with clear instructions since the reservation was confirmed. About the house, it is just more than what he described: big spaces, fully equipped for a family, comfortable and secure, private and clean! The views, different animals and nature around the property, beautiful pool and space for our dogs to walk by and enjoy the day… Definitely we will be back! Thanks again for sharing your place, we took good care of it and hope to be welcome again!

Encantada con el lugar y la atención

Jaim is a very friendly and accommodating host and the views from this location are gorgeous!

This place is beautiful, absolutely amazing views, the food at the hotel is fantastic. We had monkeys and tucans within 20' of the balcony. if this is available you should book it

Absolutely loved this place! We had a friend trip of 4 and this was perfect. Super secluded. It felt like a mico-White Lotus without the deaths. Charlie, the property manager, was super helpful and very responsive. I would 100% recommend this place. A gem!

Our family group of 11 had a wonderful stay at Raquel's - we all wished it had been longer! The house was comfortable, the grounds are beautiful, the children enjoyed the pool, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The activities we had planned kept us away during most of each day, and we wished we had more time just to enjoy the space! Even with some water utility issues that were out of her control, she communicated with us about the potential problem, and the reserve tank kept us from being without water. Her responses to questions were quick and helpful. We highly recommend the place!!

House was amazing! Very clean, host was responsive & friendly. Would stay here again if I’d were to visit Manuel Antonio, such a beautiful lovely cabin. Thank you!

I loved my stay here. Very pesceful and a beautiful view of the city. The host is very kind and very attentive. I loved it and would come back a Thousand times!!!🪽😇

It’s a very nice place

Si buscan un lugar tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza, donde puedan relajarse, ver aves y desconectarse del bullicio, este es el sitio ideal. La comodidad del hospedaje es increíble, con todos los detalles bien pensados para que la estadía sea placentera. ¡Recomendadísimo para los amantes de la paz, la naturaleza y el confort!

Muchísimas gracias Jefferson, el lugar es encantador, perfecto para relajarse y desconectarse. Fue un estadía muy agradable

Nos vamos muy contentos, Carlos siempre estuvo al pendiente de nosotros, la casa es muy cómoda y bonita. Sin duda Carlos es un excelente anfitrión, nos llevó a la cascada y nos dio recomendaciones para ir a comer y actividades para realizar. No dudaría ni un segundo para regresar. Al estar ahí no puedes olvidar probar las hamburguesas de Sneaky monkey las cuales son exquisitas.

Our stay at Rancho Montecito was beyond amazing. The accommodation is second to none, and the views from it are incredible and emotional; from the peace of the morning with the birds singing, to the exhilarating theatre of dramatic thunderstorms. The forest walk, ending at a stream with a green meadow beyond it, was beautiful, and the herds of white Brahman/Nelore cattle were striking against the jungle background. We love that this is a ‘no-kill’ farm. Debbie was welcoming and went out of her way to ensure that we had the best experience possible not only of her ranch, but also of the whole area. Her story of finding the farm, and the vision she had for it, was mesmerizing. Using her immense knowledge of fauna and flora, she poured her energy into it and molded it into the truly amazing place it is now. Thank you so much, Debbie, for such a unique and magical experience. We truly felt we made a lifelong friend from pretty much the moment we met you, and we can’t wait to return.

Ce logement en plein coeur de la jungle est un vrai petit bijoux!! Nous y avons passé 5 nuits et avons adoré notre expérience. L'emplacement est idéal, pas trop loin de Manuel antonio, Dominical et tout près de belles chutes d'eau. Le coin piscine est vraiment bien aménagé et est un gros plus. Nous avons également pu observer 2 toucans de notre balcon en prenant notre petit déjeuner. Melissa et Saïd sont très disponible et on se sent au petit soins chez eux.

Stunning location. Comfortable home has everything you need. we loved it!
