4BR Villa in San José

We are a family of five. It's big enough for us all to have our own space and friendly enough for us to be together. Loved our stay!

A simply perfect stay; we loved it! Vicente was charming, always available, while being discreet. It was obvious that he was committed to making our stay memorable. The daily housekeeping service is also a huge plus. It was my first Airbnb stay with this type of service included, and we really appreciated it! For 8 people for a 6-day stay, it made a big difference, and it was very well done. Since the villa is located in a remote area, I thought I would be overrun with insects, but it was the cleanest and best maintained villa we stayed in during our 2-week stay in Costa Rica. I would 100% recommend it. It was just perfect!

The villa matches the description, and Vicente is on site and takes care of everything. He's very kind of you. We were a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers, and everyone rested. Vicente arranged a surf lesson and an in-house chef (Ana, and she was great). If you have it delivered, do it at the beginning of your stay because you will have extra meals left over! The view is beautiful and the tide pools are right next door. The beach for swimming is within a 10-15 minute walk along the beach. We loved the vibe of Santa Teresa/Malpais. There are plenty of good restaurants and nice little local shops. We then went to Tamarindo and El Coco, and we really liked the relaxing side of Malpais better. We had howler monkeys for 2 days (they stay in the trees). We were privileged. Diana, the owner, was in the area and even came to chat with us. Super nice and dynamic! I would be back. ☺️

Little words could truly express our short, yet beautiful stay at Casa Celeste. The house was so lovely, clean, and having Viscente was the cherry on top. The outdoor space is truly an extension of living and we couldn’t get enough time outside. The beds were so comfortable and we all quickly fell asleep after our day in the sun and water. The kitchen is very well equipped and we only ordered food once, otherwise the supermarket is close and the options are plentiful. The hammocks were such a nice touch at sunset. Every time we paused to look out at the ocean it felt surreal. The kids didn’t need a screen to stay entertained and the respite our family of 6 immediately felt was immeasurable. Thank you to our hosts and Viscente, we will be back!

This is our second time staying at this property. It’s become a very special place for us. It’s very much worth every penny.

Our stay was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the house exceeded all of our expectations. It was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully prepared in every detail. The home felt incredibly safe, peaceful, and welcoming — truly a place where you can completely relax and unwind. Everything was in pristine condition, and you can clearly see the care and pride that goes into maintaining the entire property. It was one of the cleanest homes we have ever stayed in. We especially want to highlight Vicente, who has been the best caretaker we have ever dealt with. He truly went far and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. He was attentive, kind, professional, and always ready to help. He made our experience even more special. We loved him!! This has honestly been one of our favorite stays, and we would absolutely love to come back again. We highly recommend this home without hesitation!

Fantastic location that feels private and secluded, yet close to a lively surf town when you want the vibe. You truly don’t need a car. Bikes work well if you’re comfortable riding, and an ATV for a day or two to explore is worth it! The house is clean, spacious, well stocked, and AC is great. Outside is the highlight! We ate every meal outdoors, relaxed in the hammocks, and loved the pool. It felt very safe, surrounded by nature with iguanas, birds, and monkeys around. Bring sturdy sandals & watch for fire ants. Don’t skip Mal País! The pizzeria, brewery, and groceries are great! Tide pools are fun to explore, and the ceviche from the fishing dock at the end of the road is a must. Vicente is a gem. Ask him to coordinate bikes, boats, ATVs, taxis, and fresh coconuts. The host can also connect you with a local Caribbean cook, which was a great experience. If visiting in February, the Cōbano Rodeo is a must! Jungle Rave on Saturday nights, pack earplugs if a light sleeper. 10/10

Our group of 5 spent the week at Casa Celeste and had an amazing stay. The house is well equipped and kept pristine with the daily housekeeping. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals at the house. Location is very private and on the quieter side of town. We loved the pool and had multiple days with monkeys in the trees above us. Vincente is the caretaker onsite and felt just like family. Anything we needed he was there for us. We did an inshore fishing charter and Tortuga island tour; highly recommend both. Otherwise we relaxed and enjoyed this wonderful stay.

Our stay at Casa Celeste was amazing. We felt like we were staying in our own little piece of paradise even though the town was right down the road. From the start the host and their care taker Vicente were amazing. We missed one of our connections on the way to Costa Rica and Vicente helped arrange all the transportation needed to get us to Casa Celeste. The home itself - just beautiful and waking up to the view of the ocean, sounds of the wave and monkeys climbing the trees was spectacular. The home was very clean and Vicente came in daily and tidied up and empty the trash. We had everything we needed for our trip from towels to all the cookware needed to cook for our family. We loved the private space our back from the pool to yard and beach for our bonfire. Lying in the hammocks by the beach was one of my favorites spots. Diana, Ran and Vicente helped make the trip special from the info, recommendations and daily warm smiles. We loved staying here and will definitely be returning.
