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

Casa Meraki was one of the most beautiful Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at. Central to everything and the most incredible views. After full days of adventure it was so nice to come back to a clean space because of the lovely housekeeper. Pool was the highlight. Ricardo was very attentive and flexible with our requests. We will be back.

Beautiful place to stay and perfect location in Santa Teresa, close to everything. The home had everything we needed and more. Ricardo was extremely helpful during our stay, and helped us set up airport transportation as well as an ATV rental delivery to the house. Housekeeping was also excellent!

Ricardo was an amazing host who provided all the information and help needed and requested. The staff in the property was really kind and attentive. Ricardo was even helpful with additional and external requests. Would certainly stay in this place again if I visit Santa Teresa or any other of his properties.

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.

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

We had a lovely stay with family here: grandchildren, parents, and grandparents. Walked to a fantastic restaurants Koji's, Zula, and La Choza. and down the street to the beach. The hill is steep but manageable, even with seniors (we had three!) The pool is spectacular. Sunsets are an event. And morning yoga with the kiddos. We'd definitely come back!

This home is a must! The pool and view stole the show, but everything else was great too. The kitchen was fully stocked, cleaners came every day, no bug issues, and the location was perfect. You can easily walk to Brukas. The security on-site was a nice bonus as well. We will definitely be booking again next year.

Great host & fabulous place – just like the images & description. Was great for 3 couples, plenty of space. Recommend arranging a quad or car as the hill is pretty steep

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!
Host Response
Thank you for coming Brad and also for your amazing review, I’m really happy to know you could see all these animals, including a whale!!, now is not the season of them in this area. Even more happy to know it was the best house you’ve ever rented ❤️. It was very nice to meet you! You are a lovely family. You will always be very welcome when you want to come back. I wish you the best! Happy new year!!
