Excellent place, spacious and tidy house, exceptional ocean views

Casa Meráki exceeded expectations. The house is stunning — large enough for our group with spectacular ocean views from the infinity pool, bedrooms, living room, and kitchen. The kitchen is fully stocked with filtered water and ice. Ricardo was super responsive and housekeeping came daily including laundry. A night guard on site made us feel completely safe. The house is up a steep hill — walkable to the beach but take the car for groceries. Only two things missing: beach towels and umbrellas. The Santa Teresa sun is intense and having neither meant improvising — worth packing your own or asking Ricardo in advance. Santa Teresa itself is fantastic. We would absolutely come back.

Thank you Roberto for coming and also for your lovely review. I’m happy to know you enjoyed your stay and you loved the house and Santa Teresa. Regarding the beach towels, I provided them in the past, and they were nice and made of cotton, but unfortunately several guests forgot them on the beach, lost them or took them to their homes, so I finally decided not to offer them anymore. Maybe I’d have to buy a normal towels. Thanks again and also for your recommendations. Hope to see you the next time if you decide to come back, you will always be very welcome. All the best

Amazing place and even more amazing host. Ricardo helped me with all my accommodations, taxi to and from the airport, ATV rental right to the property, surf instructor, yoga classes, etc. I’ve never had such a helpful host with all the local activities. The was great as well, situated up the hill to feel private but super accessible to the town. Everywhere I went in my trip was within a ten minute atv ride. Cleaners came daily. Beautiful property.

From the minute I reserved my stay, Ricardo was in contact. He is hyper-responsive, extremely helpful, and accommodating. He made suggestions, offered taxi service, and was helpful with my follow-up questions, especially explaining the best transportation and the local airport to make traveling in the country smooth. You felt like family from start to finish. Even having nighttime security and the lovely, sweet housekeeper who came daily. I highly recommend this property as it was in the heart of the town. In fact, I already planned my return stay at the same property. Having a great host who makes you feel like family makes it easier and more welcoming, especially when you're in another country for the first time.

Thank you so much for coming Joe, and also for your amazing review!. It was great to host you. You will be very welcome when you decide to come back again. All the best

Wonderful house. Great location and views incredible. Came with its own friendly resident iguana :) House was modern, comfortable and close to the centre of Santa Teresa. Areas to be aware of. 1. Although very close to the beach not really walkable due to steepness of hill. 2. Third bedroom is an annex so not connected to the main part of house. It’s one house but the 3rd bed has its own patio entrance. Important to know if you need connected space.. 3. It’s a self service entrance which was fine but sometimes nice to meet the host. (Not big problem) Thank you for a great stay

Still our favourite view in Santa Teresa! We love coming back here and looking forward to the next time!

Ricardo was absolutely fabulous, the best house we’ve ever rented. Unbelievable wildlife can be seen from the house, including red Scarlett macaws, tucans, iguanas, white face monkeys… We even saw a whale jumping in the ocean. Very convenient location and the pool was incredible. Pura Vida!
