5BR Villa in Nicoya

Excellent, 3 weeks ago

The house is on a very steep hill. Please note that it is very tiring to walk there and that not just any vehicle can go up because the street is not paved. Although it's a bit impractical, it's worth the effort to get there, as it has a stunning view of the jungle that you wouldn't have if it weren't at such a height. Other than that, the house is great: the hosts respond very quickly and are very proactive, the house is in excellent condition, and there is staff who clean the outdoor areas daily without disturbing anyone. The beds are comfortable and the living/dining room/kitchen is a very good size. The bathrooms are clean and have shampoo, soap, and towels for all the guests. Everything in the house works, from the air conditioners to the appliances and outlets. From the house, we went to see a little bit of wildlife, such as monkeys, squirrels and giant moths. It's worth every penny!

Great house for our family reunion - can walk into town if you’re up for the driveway hill hike! Howler monkeys and so many birds right there on the patio - so cool. The water situation isn’t great (hot showers are scarce) and the bugs were pretty bad, but I guess that’s what you get when staying in the jungle. The gate and the microwave had to both be fixed when we were there, but host was quite responsive and fixed quickly. Overall, beautiful location!

Thank you for your review, Maya! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the house, the location, and the amazing wildlife around the property 🌿🐒 We also appreciate your patience with the small maintenance issues during your stay, and we’re glad we could resolve them quickly. It was a pleasure hosting you. You’re always welcome back 😊

Nothing like the photos. The wood deck looks like it’s 20 years old. The house faces west and gets so so hot in the afternoon. The AC units are not strong enough to cool it down. If the pictures were close to what it actually looks like then we would have had better expectations for the stay. The pictures are so so different then what it actually looks like it’s crazy. It does feel like a bait and switch. We HATED the price person. I think that was our first time ever staying in a place like that. For the price there are so many nicer options. Avoid this place and stay somewhere else.

We booked this house for 3 nights after our flight back to the US got cancelled during a blizzard. We were scrambling to find a place to stay and the vacation gods provided!. We were two families with four small kids. The hosts are incredibly friendly, warm, and accommodating- even letting us check in early knowing we were stranded. The house is absolutely breath-taking. I have no words. You can see the sunset, watch the monkeys play in the canopy and relax in the pool. The interior is equally as amazing, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The house is on a steep hill but that’s part of the adventure! And it’s worth the views and stillness you get from the house. You’ll be near the most beautiful part of the main strip in Santa Teresa and the local beaches have tide pools that are magnificent. The best restaurants and beach clubs are nearby also! We will be back. It’s the most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed. Thank you SO much!!

This was my favorite Airbnb I have ever booked! The hosts were amazing. As soon as we booked we received clear instructions regarding check in and were met at the home to go over everything. The house was exactly as the pictures portrayed. Location was 10/10, right in town so that you could easily walk to all the restaurants, bars, shops and the beach. The hosts had many recommendations and even got a few of us onto the water for a sunset kayak tour last minute. The house had housekeeping readily available so bathrooms/towels and common space could be cleaned daily. Overall this was an amazing house and we can’t wait to book it again.
