Casa Meráki - Walking Distance Ocean View Villa - Villas for Rent in Santa Teresa, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Excellent place, spacious and tidy house, exceptional ocean views

Excelente lugar, casa amplia y ordenada, las vistas al mar excepcionales

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.

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!

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

we had very good days in this amazing house.

vi hade väldigt bra dagar i detta fantastiska hus.

Thank you for coming Fredrik and also for your review. I’m glad to know you had a great stay. It was very nice to meet you. I hope to see you again the next time if you come back. All the best

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!

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!!

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful property! Everything about the home was perfect and the view was absolutely incredible! Ricardo was the most responsive and helpful host. The home completely exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Santa Teresa.

Thank you so much to you for coming Leah. I’m really happy to know you had a fantastic experience in the house and it was better than your expectations. You will always be very welcome if you decide to come back in the future. All the best

This home was stunning and spotless and super near to beaches, shops, restaurants, etc. There was a lovely woman who came to tidy up the house each day. Gorgeous pool area with a perfect view. As other reviews accurately describe, it does sit upon a quite steep hill so would recommend a driver/ATV if mobility is a challenge, but with the hill comes a spectacular view and sunset. Perfect for up to three couples - lots of privacy in each room with en-suite bathrooms in all bedrooms. We even spotted monkeys and toucans one morning in the properties nearby trees!

Thank you Jill for your amazing review. I’m really happy to know you liked and enjoyed the house during your stay. Yeah, the road is steep, that is the reason you can enjoy one of the best ocean views in Santa Teresa and only 400m away to the beach, and walking distance (250m) of some of the best restaurants in town like Katana, Koji or Brukas. I think it's worth it, and believe me, many guests go walking down to the town (beach, restaurants, etc), but anyway, I always recommend to have any transportation to move around, it's absolutely more comfortable, and necessary if you want to explore the surrounding areas like Playa Hermosa, Cabuya, Montezuma waterfall, etc. Feel lucky to have seen toucans in the property, is not easy to see them. The monkeys come sometimes, so I’m really glad you were able to see them!!. All the best

We had a great stay and could not get enough of the view.  The home was beautiful and had everything we needed to make use of the kitchen and grill.  We spent a lot of time in the pool.  Everyone we encountered related to our stay was very accommodating.  Highly recommend this for your Santa Teresa rental.

Thank you for coming Kristin, and also for your lovely review. I'm really happy yo know you had a wonderful vacation in the house. You will always be very welcome if you decide to come back. All the best

The photos were honest - Positive: the view and the friendly staff. Ricardo responded promptly, but we felt too little picked up. A power outage is not his fault - more than "will take a few hours" would be nice. We have been to Santa Teresa several times and appreciate nature. The fact that up to 7 iguanas lie by the pool every day could have been mentioned in the description. During our stay during the mating season, there was a fight between 2 males next to the pool, where a lot of blood flowed. - For us, of course, a stressful situation - for families with children certainly even more. Again, Ricardo only replied briefly "they are shy with people." As mentioned, the pictures were honest - The furnishings (loungers, towels) are a bit outdated, as are the bathrooms. Even though the view was great - the bottom line was that we were in much more luxurious accommodation with a great view for the money.

Die Fotos waren ehrlich - Positiv: der Ausblick und das freundliche Personal. Ricardo reagierte zeitnah, allerdings fühlten wir uns zu wenig abgeholt. Ein Stromausfall ist nicht seine Schuld - mehr als “wird ein paar Stunden dauern” wäre allerdings nett. Wir waren schon mehrfach in Santa Teresa und schätzen die Natur. Dass täglich bis zu 7 Leguane am Pool liegen, hätte man aber in der Beschreibung erwähnen können. Während unseres Aufenthalts während der Paarungszeit kam es zum Kampf zwischen 2 Männchen neben dem Pool, bei dem einiges an Blut geflossen ist. - Für uns natürlich eine stressige Situation - für Familien mit Kindern sicher noch mehr. Auch hier erwiderte Ricardo nur kurz “sie sind scheu bei Menschen”. Die Bilder waren wie erwähnt ehrlich - Die Ausstattung (Liegenauflagen, Handtücher) ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, so auch die Bäder. Auch wenn der Blick toll war - unterm Strich waren wir für das Geld in deutlich luxuriöseren Unterkünften mit tollem Blick.

Heaven on Earth! Had an outstanding stay for 8 nights with my partner. The place is incredible, even bigger and better than it looks in the pictures. The view over the ocean and jungle is mind-blowing. The cleaner (Alba) did an absolutely phenomenal job every day. Ricardo was an incredible communicator, always replying to our messages extremely quickly and handling any and all questions and requests we had, including arranging for a couples' massage at the villa! The only thing to note is that the hill is pretty serious - we are young and healthy but trekking up and down there every day was not at all desirable and so we rented an ATV for our stay. Unless you love steep sweaty hikes up a road, I'd say a car or ATV is pretty much required to make a stay at this place feasible and enjoyable. But other than that, absolutely fantastic - maybe the best AirBnB I have ever stayed in, with phenomenal host and staff. Thanks Ricardo and we hope to see you again sooner rather than later!

Thank you so much Kieran for your lovely review, and also for coming! I'm really happy to know that it was one of the best airbnb, very appreciated! Yeah, the road is steep, that is the reason you can enjoy one of the best ocean views in Santa Teresa and only 400m away to the beach, and walking distance (250m) of some of the best restaurants in town like Katana, Koji and Brukas. I think it's worth it, and believe me, many guests go walking down to the town (beach, restaurants, etc), but anyway, I always recommend to have any transportation to move around, it's absolutely more comfortable, and necessary if you want to explore the surrounding areas like Playa Hermosa, Cabuya, Montezuma waterfall, etc. Thanks again for coming. I hope to see you the next time if you decide to come back in the future. All the best

Incredible views and great location close to the main hub of Santa Teresa. You can walk to the main road but as other reviews mentioned, the hill back up to the house is a steep incline for about 250ft.

I am a frequent visitor to Santa Theresa. This house has all the best points of experiencing the town. It is walkable (there is a hill and it is very steep about half way up but only took me 7 mins to walk to the main road and beach. If you are in decent shape and domt mind walking you will have no problem). The house is centrally located in town. And also has a view of the water. Night time guard at the gate. Ricardo was always resposive. I would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks Ricardo.

Thank you for coming Jesse. I'm glad to know you liked the house and enjoyed your stay. You will be very welcome when you want to come back in the future. All the best

Casa Meraki was wonderful!  The house has an amazing view, is private and secure, and in a great part of town.  There were howler monkeys and toucans in the trees around the pool, which was great.  The house and pool were cleaned and maintained daily.  Ricardo was a wonderful host, and any small issue or question that came up was promptly addressed.  We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property!   Pura Vida 🇨🇷

Thank you for coming Jason and also for your amazing review. I'm really happy to know you enjoyed your stay in the house and you saw monkeys and toucans around the house. Hope to see you again the next time. All the best

Great beautiful house. Amazing view. Great host, and great service.

Thank you for coming Alberto and also for your review. I'm glad to know you liked and enjoyed the house. Hope to see you the next time. All the best

We had an unforgettable time at the villa! The infinity pool with the fantastic view of the Pacific is simply breathtaking. The contact with Ricardo was always great – friendly, reliable and fast. We felt absolutely safe throughout the stay. The cleaning service also rounded off our stay perfectly. The beach is a few minutes away, the way back is a little steeper, but you will be rewarded with the great view at the top. Absolute recommendation!

Wir hatten eine unvergessliche Zeit in der Villa! Der Infinitypool mit dem traumhaften Blick auf den Pazifik ist einfach atemberaubend. Der Kontakt mit Ricardo war jederzeit top – freundlich, zuverlässig und schnell. Wir haben uns während des gesamten Aufenthalts absolut sicher gefühlt. Auch der Reinigungsservice hat unseren Aufenthalt perfekt abgerundet. Der Strand ist in wenigen Minuten erreichbar, der Rückweg ist etwas steiler, aber dafür wird man oben wieder mit der großartigen Aussicht belohnt. Absolute Empfehlung!

Thank you for coming Martin and also for your lovely review. Happy to know you loved the house and you had an unforgettable vacation with your family. You will always be very welcome. All the best

Our stay at Casa Meraki exceeded our expectations. The view of the Pacific alone is breathtaking. Ricardo is a wonderful host and focuses on making guests feel comfortable. He was always available to answer questions. We always felt very safe in the neighborhood and in the house. Our expectations were exceeded by the daily cleaning service. We are a family with three children aged 11-8 and would rent this beautiful house again anytime. Thank you, Ricardo, for your hospitality!

Thank you Mirjam for coming and also for your lovely review. I'm very happy to know you had a wonderful stay with your family. You will always be very welcome if you come back in the future. All the best

Very good stay. Seamless welcome and service. Accommodation and equipment as described. The situation is perfect. We had a great time.

Très bon séjour. Accueil et service fluides. Logement et équipement conforme à la présentation. La situation est parfaite. Nous avons passé de très bon moment.

Thank you for coming Antoine and also for your review. Happy to know you liked the house and the location. All the best

The view is incredible. Walking to the beach is doable but the road is steep coming back up. The restaurants on the beach (there are plenty) are nice but do not understand why they need to be so pricy & not impressed by the obvious instructions to the waiters to “sell” which is not helping the overall experience. The bakery is selling good bread and the supermarket opposite has all you will need. Roads in town are being upgraded.

Everything was beautiful at this location. The house was great, the view and pool breathtakingly beautiful, and the host always available and helpful! Pura vida🦋

Alles was prachtig aan deze locatie. Het huis was top, het uitzicht en zwembad adembenemend mooi, en de host altijd bereikbaar en behulpzaam! Pura vida🦋

Thank you for coming Charlotte and also for your lovely review. I'm happy to know you loved the stay and enjoyed the house. All the best for you and your lovely family!

Ricardo’s place is beautiful! You certainly can’t beat the view! We loved Santa Teresa and all of the activities and restaurants! Ricardo and his crew went out of their way to help us have a good trip by helping with setting up excursions to offering recommendations and keeping the home clean. Ricardo is super responsive! The road is steep, a bit narrow and bumpy in spots. If you have a 4x4 vehicle, it’s fine. We found the location easily based on the detailed instructions. My husband and I both thought the property was walkable to the beach based on our perception of the pictures. It’s not, unless you’re okay with a steep hike. We drove to a nearby access point and found parking easily. The security was an added bonus. We always felt super safe and private. The master is slightly separate from the rest of the house, which we knew ahead of time. If you have young kids, this may not work, but our teens were comfortable. Ricardo provides all of the necessities and the AC was great!

Hello Laura, thank you for coming and also for your review. I'm happy to know you enjoyed your stay in the house and also the activities in Santa Teresa. Regarding the distance to the beach, it's true the hike is steep, that is the reason the house offers a stunning ocean view over the jungle, but it's only 250 meters away to the main road and 100 more meters to get to the beach. Many of our guests go down walking to the beach and restaurants. Some of the best in town are before to get the main road, so it takes only 3min to get them. Regarding the separate master bedroom, it offers more privacy for families with teens like you, families with grandparents or 2 families. When we have families with children (around 20% of our guests), they usually sleep in the main house, so I think it offers many options of accommodation. Thanks again for coming. Happy to know you had a great time with your family. All the best

We loved staying in this home!  Every room had a beautiful view, the pool was amazing, the yoga porch was lovely (could see monkeys from there some days), and the housekeeper was such a treat. Ricardo provided excellent recommendations and set us up with a chef to make breakfast a few days and dinner one evening. I would not consider the beach walkable as the house is up a very large and busy hill but that’s probably just a personal choice. We loved this home and our vacation so much!

Thank you for coming Morgan, and also for your amazing review. I'm happy to know you saw monkeys from the yoga deck. They are coming more and more often. Regarding the distance to the beach, the house is 350 meters away, maybe you didn't see the path to get there once you are in the main road. The street is steep (otherwise the ocean view would not be so stunning), but I don't think it's very large way, in fact many guests walk down to the restaurants, surfing, etc. Thanks again for coming. Glad to know you liked the house and enjoyed your stay. I hope to see you again the next time. All the best

Beautiful house Ricardo was very helpful Thank ms

We loved our stay at Casa Meraki. It is a stunning house with incredible reviews. Ricardo and his property management team couldn’t have been more helpful and went beyond expectations to help us with things like car hire and local recommendations. Santa Teresa is a fantastic town, friendly, great energy and vibes. We particularly enjoyed daily yoga at the nearby Horizon hotel—it has a wonderful yoga deck with amazing teachers and views over the ocean. Our boys loved trying out surfing and the food at all the restaurants we visited was fantastic. For breakfast, we very much enjoyed El Patio and went most mornings in the end. The smoothies are delicious. All in all, this is a fantastic location and Casa Meraki a beautiful place to stay. You won’t be disappointed. We hope to return again.

We had a great stay at Ricardo’s home. The view is stunning and we will very much miss waking up to it. The home was clean, Stefanie was very responsive and made the check-in and out very easy. She also had great recommendations for activities and places to eat. There is a hill to get up to the home, we were fine with our rental and the bumps are all part of the experience 😆 We appreciate you sharing your home Ricardo, thank you!

This home was amazing. The view is unmatched. The pool was so nice, especially throughout the day for the kids, after beach days. You could stay in the pool all day and look at the view. The property was clean and their team of people hosting were always helpful.

The house, lanai, pool and view were amazing! The pool was pristine and the water was the perfect temperature! We loved having the 3 en suites. The beds and bedding were really comfortable. Having the covered outdoor space and sitting area were great in the evening as we enjoyed the cooling rain and lightning! The road up to the house was very steep and in pretty bad shape, but once on the property it was wonderful!

Thank you for coming Julie, and also for your review. I´m happy to know you liked the house and enjoyed your stay. As for the street, it's certainly steep, but it´s all paved except for about 30 meters, which are dirt, but it's actually a very short walk. This is the first house on the street, before that, there are only hotels and restaurants, which you can walk to. Plus, the ocean view is breathtaking, so I think it's worth it. Thanks for coming again and also for your private comments! All the best

Stayed here with my family for 10 days. The place was amazing with incredible views.  The hot water in the shower worked great! Ricardo and Stef were very responsive and helpful.  Definitely recommend!!!

We had a wonderful stay! The place was beautiful, a great location and perfect for my family. Santa Teresa is a magical place and I can't wait to come back. The hosts were extremely helpful and attentive, helping us with excursions, local info, restaurant recommendations, road closure info, and all our questions. The housekeeper was amazing and even did some laundry. Security at night was a nice addition. As some other people mentioned the house is on a steep hill so I wouldn't consider it easily walkable - but as long as you're aware of that it's totally fine and a great location. The place is pretty dangerous for small children - the yoga deck/patio has a very high, dangerous fall with minimal safety rails that kids could easily pass through - that's not the fault of the hosts just something to note. Maybe consider adding a clear barrier so there's never any accidents there. But overall we loved our stay and would definitely stay again!

Hi Brooke, Thanks for your amazing review. I'm really glad to know you liked and enjoyed your stay in Santa Teresa and also in the house. Regarding the yoga deck, I had some planters as a barrier but they were damaged so I removed them and I'm still waiting a new ones from the carpenter, I'm sorry if this made you feel dangerous for the baby. Thanks a lot for coming. I hope to see you the next time. Best

Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Santa Teresa.

Thanks for coming Branden, also for your review. Best

Ricardo was a great host, he was very nice with us, provided clear instructions and his house is beautiful. The place is very quiet and relaxing, it has a stunning view and it is in a great location! Additionally, having security and cleaning services included was very helpful. Overall, staying at Ricardo’s place was a 20 out of 10 experience!!

Thank you for coming Marianela, and also for your lovely review. I'm glad to know that your stay exceeded your expectations. I hope to see you again the next time. It was very nice to meet you. All the best

Best airbnb I’ve ever stayed at, everything is perfect, definitively I’ll be back, super recommended, Ricardo is the best host

Thank you for coming Chema, and also for your amazing review. I'm really happy to know you had a great stay in the house. It was very nice to meet all of you. I hope to see you again the next time. All the best

I host an Airbnb myself and have stayed at nearly 100 Airbnbs over the past 15 or so years.  This was the BEST Airbnb experience I have had.  This place is perfect for three couples or, in our case, two parents, a grandparent, and two teens.  The house is designed perfectly.  Each room has its own bathroom and a view.  There is no wasted spaced.  The living area is perfect:  A great living room (with a view and a kitchen).  The la cantina doors open up and the view is accessible at all times and from every room.  I have stayed at other Aibnb's with pools but this pool was the best maintained out of all other homes.  The pool was clean, the perfect temperature and felt taken care of.  The house has a lot of privacy.  We felt extremely safe.  There is an overnight security guard on the driveway.  The daily maid service (and laundry service) was excellent.  And Ricardo was extremely responsive with every question we had and had solutions (including, where I could go to print a document).

Wow Michael! what a review! I'm really happy and proud to know this was your best Airbnb experience ever. I think this is the best review ever too hahaha!!. I hope to see you again the next time. You will always be very welcome. All the best

This airbnb was the perfect place for a trip to Santa Teresa. It is in a perfect spot only a 5 minute walk from the public beach access and very close to the main strip in Santa Teresa. We rented a UTV for the entire trip which was a necessity as the hill to get to the house is very steep. (The view is worth it). Cleaners came every morning to clean inside and outside the home which was super nice. We had a security guard at night which was also a great addition. Overall great experience and will likely return.

Review Title: Perfect Costa Rica Getaway – Stunning Views & Exceptional Service! Our stay at this villa in Costa Rica was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The villa itself was beautiful, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and luxurious stay. The private pool was a highlight, perfect for cooling off while enjoying the stunning scenery. The daily maid and laundry service were a wonderful touch, making our stay effortless and relaxing. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials, making it easy to prepare meals when we didn’t feel like dining out. The location couldn’t have been better—just minutes from town and on the same street as some of the best 5-star restaurants in the area. Whether we wanted a quiet night in or a fine dining experience, everything was conveniently close. Our host was incredibly communicative and helpful, ensuring we had everything

Thanks a lot for coming Lisa, and also for your amazing review. I'm very glad to know you liked and enjoyed the house during your stay. You will always be very welcome if you decide to come back again. All the best

I cannot praise Casa Meraki and Ricardo highly enough. There were a few local challenges with power outages and water being cut off but Ricardo handled it all brilliantly. And he organised ATVs for us which was brilliant as well as fantastic local recommendations. A real treat to have stayed here …. absolutely worth it.

Thank you for coming Priscilla, and also for your lovely review. It was very nice to meet you and your sons. I hope to see you again in the future. You will always be very welcome. All the best

Wonderful place! We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces, the awesome pool and the beautiful ocean view. It’s a very short walk to the main street with many excellent restaurants. Ricardo was lovely and very helpful. Highly recommend!

The view was amazing! Such an amazing house. Ricardo was wonderful. He helped with our transportation and activities. I highly recommend staying at Ricardo’s house.  The house was cleaned daily and also offered laundry service. Also I don’t want to forget the amazing infinity pool.

Thank you for coming Molly and also for your amazing review. It was very nice to meet you and also a pleasure to help you with the activities and transportation. I wish you the best for you and your lovely family.

We had an unforgettable magical experience at Casa Meraki for 12 days. Such a special place. Ricardo is an amazing host who helped us arrange a top-notch nanny/babysitter (Loredana, thank you!) for our 8 month old daughter - and a private chef, Michela, who was absolutely fantastic and cooked many authentic Italian dishes from her homeland 🇮🇹. The daily sunsets from the pool were a unique experience and impossible to grasp in a photo. We cannot wait to be back again!

Thank you Guus for your amazing review. I'm really happy to know you enjoyed your stay in my house and the rest of services with Michela and Lorena. It was very nice to meet you, your wife and your lovely daughter. I wish you the best 2025 for all of you. I hope to see you again in the future if you come back to Santa Teresa.

We stayed at Casa Meraki in late October, and I'll have to say it may have been one of the best vacations we've ever been on. We had two couples, both of us celebrating our 25th wedding anniversaries and everything was perfect. First, I'll say that our host Ricardo was the best we've ever had. Santa Teresa is a little off the beaten path, but he made it a seamless experience. He arranged transportation, our ATV's, sightseeing and responded to every question or need within five minutes of any request. A fantastic host that made Santa Teresa feel like a home away from home. Second, the pictures completely matched the experience. The view is breathtaking and we hung out every afternoon in the infinity pool to watch the sunset. So comfortable both inside and out. We can't say enough about this place other than we hope to go back soon. Both Santa Teresa and Casa Meraki are on our return list for sure! Ricardo, thanks for everything!

Thank you Roger for your amazing and lovely review. I'm very happy knowing your vacation was the best you've ever had and you enjoyed the house and the attractions that Santa Teresa and its surroundings offer. Congrats for your 25th wedding anniversary. I hope to host you again in the future if you come back, you will always be very welcome. All the best

Very nice house with everything you need for a stay, I would definitely come back, and very good communication with Ricardo.

Muy linda la casa con todo lo necesario para una estadía, definitivamente regresaría, y muy buena comunicación con Ricardo.

Muchas gracias por tu review Federico, y gracias por alojarte en mi casa. Fue un placer conocerte. Siempre serás bienvenido si decides volver. Pura vida

We had a fantastic stay at Ricardo's place.  Ricardo was very helpful is scheduling our activities, recommended local restaurants and beach locations on a daily basis and provided an awesome recommendation on our rental car (4x4 was a life saver).  Alba, our housekeeper, did excellent work at keeping the house and grounds spotless throughout the week.  Thank you Ricardo and Alba!  We had a great and relaxing week.  Beautiful part of the world!

Thank you for coming Scott, also for your amazing review. I'm glad to know you enjoyed the house and the activities in Santa Teresa. Hope to see the next time if you come back in the future. All the best

Beautiful view! View is just like the photos! The sea breeze made for a nice cool-ness under the hot sun. Loved Ricardo’s recommendation and coordination for the horseback riding on the beach with Martin! That was just incredible, and Martin was so great. The daily housekeeper was a nice luxury as well. 🙂 The construction going on at the property & neighbors property was unexpected and noisy - wish we would have known about it beforehand, but made it work. The interior wasn’t as “luxury” as presented in the photos, but was still nice and comfortable. Location was great! Town is just down the hill, but prepare yourself for a solid workout while climbing back up the hill. 😂 (We loved it). Overall, this was a great place, with incredible views. Beautiful beaches, town people are super nice, and Ricardo was very responsive and friendly! Thank you, Ricardo!

Can't say enough great things about Ricardo and about the house. Ricardo was helpful, useful and responsive. The house was unbelievably gorgeous with breathtaking views. I would highly encourage anyone looking for a high end vacation to stay here. The only thing I would note is that it's a bit of a steep walk to get up to the property, but easy to drive.

We had an incredible stay at Casa Meraki! The property boasts a gorgeous view and a beautiful pool that quickly became our favorite spot. The beds were very comfortable, and the house was well-equipped for our needs. The walk to nearby restaurants and the beach was short, though a bit steep, but the location is fantastic. We spent a week here, and it truly wasn’t enough—our family enjoyed every moment. The kids especially loved the pool and were thrilled by the daily visits from a friendly iguana. Casa Meraki is a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we would love to return for a longer stay in the future. Highly recommend!

Ricardo's House was amazing! My wife and I were there for a few days celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary. It couldn’t have been more perfect. From the great communication before arriving to the smooth easy check in and check out is was great. I like to cook and the kitchen was well stocked and equipped. The views and the pool are second to none. We rented a ATV and it was very nice to be able to park it in a dry place so that when the rain stopped we could hope right on without everything being wet. We would stay here again in a heart beat and would recommend his home to anyone.

We had a great stay at Ricardo's place. Great house, great views and perfect host. The road leading to the house is pretty steep, but it is not far from the main road and definitely walkable. We would stay again - the house was exactly what we needed.

Magnificent house with a stunning host. We were very sorry that our stay will end. Ricardo is a 10, and he did his best for us to have a perfect few days. The experience is totally recommended.

Magnífica casa con un impresionante anfitrión. Nos dio mucha pena que acabará nuestra estancia. Ricardo es un 10, e hizo lo posible para que pasáramos unos días perfectos. Totalmente recomendable la experiencia.

Muchas gracias Carlos por alojaros en mi casa. Fue un placer conoceros a todos y haberos ayudado en disfrutar de vuestras vacaciones. Ojalá nos volvamos a encontrar en algún momento por nuestra querida Madrid. Sois una familia estupenda. Os deseo todo lo mejor!. Un abrazo

Great, great spot. Ricardo was very helpful with any & all requests/needs.  We loved the view & location of this house & hope to visit again soon.  Ricardo is a fantastic host & this is a wonderful home.

Simply magical place… peaceful, beautiful, a wonderful relaxing escape. The house and grounds were lovely. Just picture pictured in the photos, but even perfect in person with the sound of the ocean in the background and the balmy air. it was a great place to unwind and have fun with my children on our holiday. Ricardo is a terrific host. He absolutely went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was comfortable, stress-free and enjoyable. He looked into tour reservations, provided recommendations, and arranged for a fantastic massage therapist to come to the villa. He’s a very welcoming and kind person; happy to share his knowledge of the area with his guests. We had such a fun time and hope to return again to spend more time in the gorgeous area. Thanks, Ricardo!!

Thank you Shay for your lovely review. I'm really happy to know you enjoyed your vacation in the house with your kids. For me was a pleasure to help you. You will always be very welcome if you come back in the future. All the best

We spent about a week at Casa Meràki and can’t say enough about the villa or the location. The villa is exactly what you see in the photos. Bedrooms have their own bathrooms and there is a well stocked kitchen and small living area. The jewel in this villa’s crown is the pool area. What a view! It’s well kept and the landscaping makes it feel very private. From the pool you cannot see the road leading up to the villa, just jungle and ocean, and the whole area is totally private from the villas around it. The other major plus for this villa is Ricardo. He is a true host. He will organize anything you need. For us he organized a boat trip, a massage at the villa, private chefs for an evening and more. He is genuinely a nice guy and we can’t thank him enough. Santa Teressa is also a 10 min walk down the hill with a great beach, and great bars and restaurants. We would definitely return to Santa Teressa and this villa. Highly recommend!!

Thank you Adam for your amazing review. I'm glad to know you enjoyed your vacation in the house with your family, especially the pool. I'm agree with you the view from there is amazing :-) You will always be very welcome if you decide to come back in the future. All the best

This is a world class airbnb and Ricardo is a professional host. Close to the action in town and far enough away to feel removed from the hustle and noise. If you don't want to leave you can sit poolside in the sun (or shade) all day! Shout out to the hardworking housekeeper don't forget to tip her!!

Thanks for coming Andrew. I'm happy to know you liked and enjoyed the house. You will always be very welcome if you want to come back in the future. All the best

Ricardo was an amazing host, helped us book some local activities and gave us awesome recommendations. He was always available to us and this made the trip so easy. The house is beautiful and an amazing place to relax. Also, it’s close to the main parts of Santa Teresa including the beaches. Highly recommend!

Thank you for coming Tony, also for your amazing review. I'm glad I've made your stay easier, and to know you enjoyed the house. It was very nice to meet you. You will always be very welcome if you decide to come back to Santa Teresa in the future. All the best

Casa Meraki was incredible! Best place I have ever stayed. Ricardo was so helpful through the entire process and provided an exceptional experience.. I would highly recommend this paradise to anyone.

Thank you so much Patrick for your review!. I'm super happy to know that this is the best place you've ever stayed! It was a very nice to meet you. You will always be very welcome if you decide to come back in the future. All the best

It was a fantastic time with the family! We were looking for a comfortable place that would be close to the beach but would also provide some peace. The view from the villa is beautiful. Ricardo welcomed us personally and gave us tips on how to have the best time in Santa Teresa. Additionally, daily cleaning and security make us feel better. Thank you Ricardo for this time!

Thank you Rafal for your review and also for coming. I'm really glad to know you enjoyed Santa Teresa and you liked the house. It was very nice to meet you. I hope to see you again the next time. All the best

This house is something else. I highly recommend it, one of the best views here and the best view I’ve ever seen. I will spend my honeymoon here!!! Love it!

Thank you Dylan for your amazing review. I'm happy to know you love the house and you will come again for your honeymoon. See you soon. All the best

Such a beautiful place and great location. The pool is the PERFECT spot to relax or have the kids play in the morning or evening. The view is amazing. It was so nice to have a maid each day and she was such a kind lady. We loved our stay and would love to come back.

Thank you for coming Jeremy and also for your review. It was very nice to meet you. I'm happy to know you've enjoyed your stay with your family. You will always be very welcome. All the best

Wow, what an incredible villa! We loved our stay at Casa Meraki. It’s a little slice of paradise, nestled high above the busy main street in Santa Teresa, with an incredible view overlooking the ocean. The villa is beautifully designed, with a fabulous pool, outdoor eating areas and yoga deck. Ricardo was a fantastic host too. So friendly and helpful from the moment we booked. He was there to greet us when we arrived and helped us with restaurant bookings, boat trips, massage… and even hand-delivered a birthday cake for my husband! There was a major power cut in Santa Teresa during our stay and Ricardo made sure we were well looked after and our holiday wasn’t effected in any way. Would 100 percent recommend Casa Meraki for anyone looking for a luxury place to stay in Santa Teresa. You won’t be disappointed!

Thanks Olivia for your amazing review!. I'm really happy to know you liked and enjoyed the house. It was very nice to meet you. You are a lovely family!. Enjoy the rest of your vacation. I hope to see you again in the future if you come back to Santa Teresa, you will always be very welcome. All the best

Incredible pool and outdoor space. 10 out of 10.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Meraki. The accommodation is really of high quality, well-equipped and the views are disturbing! What a pleasure to have a drink on this beautiful terrace with a 180 degree view of the Pacific. Everything is neat, impeccable cleaning and the maintenance of the garden also on a daily basis. Immediate proximity to beaches and shops while preserving calm and rest with its elevated location. Finally, the relationship with Ricardo the owners was excellent not to say friendly! Go head down, you won't be disappointed with this lovely villa.

Nous avons passé un séjour formidable à la Casa Meraki. Le logement est vraiment de belle qualité, bien équipé et la vue est décoiffante ! Quel plaisir de boire un verre sur cette magnifique terrasse avec une vue à 180 degrés sur le pacifique. Tout est soigné, le ménage impeccable et l’entretien du jardin également au quotidien. Proximité immédiate de la plages et des commerces tout en préservant le calme et le repos avec sa situation en hauteur. Pour finir, les relations avec Ricardo le propriétaires ont été excellentes pour ne pas dire amicales ! Foncez tête baissée, vous ne serez pas déçu avec cette jolie villa.

Thanks for coming Luc, it was a pleasure to meet you and your family. I'm really happy to know you enjoyed the house during your vacation in Santa Teresa. I hope to see you again in the future, you will always be very welcome. All the best

This was a fantastic place to stay! The home itself is gorgeous and the view was the best. It's a short walk down to some of the best restaurants (Convivio was our favorite!) and if you don't feel like going out the home feels like a vacation in itself. We had Jennifer as a private chef one night and she was fantastic. The main street is far enough away that you can't hear any of the noise, so it felt really private. Ricardo was a great host - super responsive, proactive on check in and recommendations, and very friendly. We all had a great time, and I would highly recommend staying here!

Thanks for coming Emily and for your lovely review. I'm really happy to know you liked the house and the location. It was very nice to meet, I hope to see you the next time if you come back in the future, you will be always very welcome!. All the best

Amazing property, you won’t be disappointed

Wow, where do I even begin? Our stay at Ricardo's Airbnb was nothing short of magical from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Ricardo was an absolute gem, going above & beyond to ensure our trip was unforgettable. He helped us arrange ATVs, provided us with a map to the stunning waterfalls nearby & local restaurant recommendations, guiding us to the best dining experiences Santa Teresa has to offer. But the true highlight was undoubtedly the private chef he arranged for us. Our mouths are still watering just thinking about the incredible dinner and breakfast prepared by Miss Jennifer! It was the perfect indulgence for our bachelorette getaway with the girls. The pool overlooking the ocean provided the most breathtaking backdrop & those picture-perfect sunsets were stunning! 15/10 experience and I wholeheartedly recommend Ricardo's Airbnb to anyone looking for a slice of paradise in Santa Teresa. Thank you, Ricardo, for making our trip a dream! We'll definitely be back!

Wow Natascha!, what an amazing review!! I'm really happy to know you liked the house and enjoyed it. For me It was a pleasure helping you have an unforgettable vacation. It was very nice to meet you and your friends. You will be very welcome again when you come back. Thank you again for your lovely review! All the best!

Photos don't do justice. The view is absolutely incredible. My family and I had a wonderful stay at Ricardo's villa. Filtered water and comfy beds were a bit +. The location is perfect in my opinion. We loved that we were high enough that we didn't hear the noisy main road - only the waves crashing in the ocean. If we had one wish, it would be that the pot holes on the road going up the steep hill were filled as it caused for a bumpy ride. Nonetheless, I would definitely stay at Ricardo's place again. He was super responsive and very nice.

Thanks for coming Naif, it was very nice to meet you and your lovely family. I'm happy to know you loved the house and enjoyed it. Regarding the road, the holes will be fixed the next week, the city council does not maintain anything, so the neighbors have to pave the road and maintain it, so sometimes it's not in perfect conditions, but believe me, now it's almost perfect comparing the last years. I hope to see you again in case you come back in the future. All the best

This house was spectacular we will definitely be back. I’m glad we had a car to explore the area, but we were very happy to stay in and enjoy the beautiful outdoor space too.

Thanks for coming Jamie, also for your review. It was very nice to meet you. I'm glad to know you liked the house. I hope to see you again if you come back. All the best

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Beautiful villa with amazing views and fabulous host Ricardo that is very quick with communication. Great location with lots of very good restaurants close. Beach access is close. Peaceful and serene. Lots to do in town but just staying at the villa we would have been happy! Absolutely beautiful. Cleaners kept the home nice even during our trip. We wanted to see monkeys so Ricardo our host recommended curu wildlife reserve which was a great idea, we saw a lot of monkeys! We took advantage of the private chefs, Jenny cooked us the most amazing brunches. We had an amazing time. If you are looking for an Airbnb in Costa Rica this is a great bet. Would not change a thing. Thank you Ricardo!

Thanks for coming Mel, and also for your amazing review!. I'm super happy to know you liked the house and you enjoyed in Santa Teresa. Yeah, the monkeys usually arrive to the property 2-3 times a month, but you will always see them in Curú, it's a good plan for a day. It was very nice to meet you, I'd love to see you the next time, you will always be very welcome if you come back. All the best

Ricardo has an amazing place in Santa Teresa and he is an amazing host. Apart from the beautiful property he helped us to organize day trips, restaurants, you name it. And he is a really nice guy! We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Thanks for coming Niels and also for your amazing review. It was very nice to meet you. If you decide to come back to Santa Teresa in the future, you will always be very welcome. All the best

Perfect vacation spot! The house is amazing and the view is unmatched. We loved the pool and the kitchen has everything you need. There are many restaurants within walking distance- and yoga at horizons is just across the road. Ricardo was so helpful with arranging for transportation and recommending local sightseeing and restaurant options. Daily housekeeping and an evening security guard were appreciated too.  We can’t wait to return!

Thank you Elizabeth for your lovely review!. I'm really glad to know you liked the house and you enjoyed the beauties of Santa Teresa. I hope to see you again the next time. You will always be very welcome. All the best

The most amazing holiday villa. Epic property with a perfect ocean view in an amazing location. We can’t wait to return for more sunset dinners on the terrace! Ricardo is the perfect host; super responsive, friendly and caring for his guests needs which shows in the standard of the property. Excellent local recommendations for restaurants, surfing and excursions. A dream stay - thank you Ricardo!

Thanks Julian, for your amazing review!. I'm happy to know you loved the house and that you enjoyed in Santa Teresa. It was very nice to meet you. You're a lovely family. You will be very welcome again the next time. All the best

Thank you Ricardo , my friends and I had a wonderful vacation in your amazing house! The views are breathtaking , close to the beach, restaurants ... Ricardo is really attentive to make your stay perfect! He gave us plenty of delicious restaurant addresses! I would recommend her home without so much as a second thought! Thank you for everything, Celine

Merci ricardo , mes amis et moi même avont passé de magnifiques vacances dans votre incroyable maison ! La vue est à couper le souffle , proche de la plage, des restaurants … Ricardo est vraiment aux petits soins pour que votre séjour soit parfait ! Il nous a donné plein d’adresses de resto délicieux ! Je recommande les yeux fermés sa maison ! Merci pour tout, Celine

Thank you for coming, Celine, and also for your lovely review. I'm happy to know you enjoyed in Santa Teresa, and you liked the house. It was very nice to meet all of you. You will always be very welcome! All the best

Ricardo’s place was GORGEOUS! Not only was the view outstanding, but it was quietly serene for being as close to restaurants and bars. Privacy, with a view to get lost in while working to make the money to come back again. Also- Ricardo was one of the most helpful hosts I’ve encountered- he not only made sure we had everything we needed, but the cleaning service did our laundry for us, 😳, and he booked the most wonderful massage therapist on my behalf. When I saw the most wonderful, I mean I would come back for the massage alone. Do not think. Book.

Thank you so much for your amazing review, Alexa! You're a lovely couple. I'm glad to know you liked the house and the massage. I hope to see you again the next time, you will always be very welcome. All the best

we loved Ricardo's place. The view is spectacular and is what makes this place super special. I would recommend a car or ATV because there is a steep road up to Ricardo's place and doing that walk every time you go to town would be tough. Super close to Koji, two grocery stores, Amici for pizza, a smoothie place, and Playa Carmen. We were so close to everything. You will see iguanas and monkeys too.

Thank you, Robyn, for your lovely review, I'm glad to know you loved the house and enjoyed it. It was very nice to meet you. Thanks for coming! All the best

Casa Meraki, is fabulous, just far enough up the hill to be above the crowd and see and hear the ocean but close enough to easily walk into down to the main street. The house’s driveway is at a curve in the road so off to the side and carved into the hillside above the driveway. The house is fantastic from the moment we walked to the moment we left, we felt at home and comfortable. Ricardo is a gracoius and very helpful host whose attention to detail is very appreciated and apparent in his home. The main house structure has two of the bedrooms to the bathrooms, kitchen and living room, and accesses, the pool, deck, and patio and outdoor dining and a separate structure off the side houses the master, which is just fantastic for families, and or couples, traveling with others that want their own space

Thanks for coming Jason, It was very nice to meet you. I'm glad to know you liked the house and enjoyed it. See you the next time. All the best

The house and stay were mind-blowing! It looks even better than on the pictures! The pool, the house, the view are breathtaking! Everything is well taken care of. There is even a guard at night for extra security. And a safe. The host is the kindest and most helpful host I ever had and I felt so welcomed. I love all the details: the light in the pool, that it's great quality of water in it, the little extra deck where we did sports or yoga on, how well equipped the kitchen is. It's by far the best location in Santa Teresa - close to the best restaurant in town - Katana - but just far enough away to enjoy the ocean view and even ocean sounds! You can get everywhere easily. I'm so grateful for this amazing gem and I can 100% recommend it! THANK YOU !!!

Thank you Julia for your amazing and lovely review. I´m glad to know you enjoyed the house. It was very nice to meet you. I hope to see you again in the future, you will be very welcome. All the best

We had a wonderful, relaxing visit. The house was beautifully kept, Ricardo was very responsive, helpful, and provided amazing recommendations.  We look forward to returning again very soon!

Thank you Cynthia for your lovely review. I'm happy to know that you enjoyed the house during your vacation. It was very nice to meet you. I hope to see you again in the future, you will always be very welcome. All the best

Casa Meraki was a beautiful property with an incredible vista. Dreamy setting! Be aware the maid service comes at random times in the morning disrupting privacy and considerations to guests needs for peace and enjoyment and private use of property.  My sunglasses went missing unfortunately. Be aware you will need a strong vehicle to get up and down the very steep grade and if electricity goes out there are not any emergency candles or lamps or flashlights to help.

Hi Conchetta, regarding the daily cleaning, the only day you had cleaning was the day after you arrived, and it started at 10am as is offered to all guests. Regarding your loss of sunglasses, in every check-out we always check in the whole house if there is something forgotten from the guests, and your glasses weren't there, sorry you lost them. As for the car, the road is paved and you don't need 4x4 or any powerful car. Thanks for coming Regards

Ricardo was an amazing host- very easy to communicate with and helpful.  His home was magical- the view, the pool, the grounds- it all was 4 ⭐️.  An unforgettable vacation!

Thanks for coming Elise and also for your review. It was very nice to meet you. I hope to see you again the next time, you will be very welcome. All the best

Amazing accommodation and view. Wow! Highly recommend as one of the top villas to rent while in Santa Teresa Beach.

Thanks for coming Diomedes, also for your review, it was very nice to meet you.  I´m glad to know you liked the house. I hope to see you again the next time. All the best

We had a great time at the house. Beautiful place. We were two families and it was perfect for that. Ricardo our host were always quick to answer and give recomendation when we had questions.

Thanks for coming Susanne, it was very nice to meet you. I hope to see you again the next time. All the best

It is a beautiful spot close to many restaurants and the beach. We had a great stay.

Thanks for coming Erin, it was very nice to meet you. I hope to see you again the next time. All the best

Cannot rave enough.  Ricardo’s home is very well maintained- daily cleaning and frequent gardening/pool cleaning.  His recommendations were all incredible (HIGHLY recommend chef Danny!).  He personally met and walked us through everything.  Arranged ATV, surf, chef, massages, yoga etc, and all were top notch.  Will come back specifically to one of his properties.

Thank you for coming Gary, you and Joni were very nice guests. I'm happy to know the house and the activities were incredible for you. See you again the next time, you will be very welcome. All the best

Ricardo’s home is perfectly located in Santa Teresa - close to shops, restaurants and beach. Ricardo was very helpful and responsive, with suggestions and addressed questions promptly. I would recommend if visiting Santa Teresa!

Thank you for coming Rosita. It was very nice to meet you. I hope to see you again if you come back to Santa Teresa, you will be very welcome. Best

Casa Meraki is an absolutely stunning place to stay, with fantastic views, everything you’d need is provided and Ricardo is a fantastic host who had all the answers to our questions as well as organising a variety of activities if requested (surf lessons, yoga etc…). The “infamous” hill that keeps being mentioned is steep but manageable. We arrived in a minibus which was able to get up to the house fine, and you can walk up it in less than 10 minutes with a little sweat on. Highly recommend staying at Casa Meraki, fantastic place and host!

Thank you for coming and for your review Toby. Was very nice to meet you, I'm glad to know you enjoyed your stay. All the best

Amazing stay! The house was gorgeous, just as the pictures showed. Beautiful view of the ocean & sunsets. Extremely clean. Well equipped. Ricardo was a great host too, helped us coordinate activities, including chef & massages at the house!! He was easy to reach whenever we had questions as well. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area again.

Thank you Carly for your lovely review, It was very nice to meet you. I'm happy to know you enjoyed your stay and you liked the house. Best wishes to you, your mum and the rest.

MUST STAY!!! Casa Meraki was perfect in every sense of the word and Ricardo’s attentiveness exceeded our expectations.  We recently stayed here with family (4 adults and 2 kids) and it had everything we needed.  Ricardo helped us plan excursions and gave us great restaurant recommendations as well.  We are so appreciative of him!

Thank you Laura for coming and for your lovely review! Was very nice to meet you. I'm super happy knowing your stay exceeded your expectations. I hope to see you the next time. You will be very welcome. All the best

The house was beautiful and the host was helpful. I’d just recommend to add bottles of water for the guests as well as make sure that hot water is available in every bathroom.

Hi Valerie, the water of the house is filtered, there were 2 bottles in the storage of the kitchen, sorry if you didn't see them. Regarding the hot water, the issue with the water heater was fixed 2h after you notified it, sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for coming. Best

Amazing property, located in an elevated plot but close to the sea. The pool is really nice with infinity view. The place was guarded by security, and every day cleaning was also included. Ricardo is an amazing host, very friendly, responsive and helpful. Pay attention that the road leading to the property (100m) is full of potholes. It is really difficult to be accessed by anything else than SUV. Totally recommended.

Thank you Alex your review, also for coming, it was very nice to meet you. You were my first Greek guests ever! Btw, the road is recently paved so now it's not need to come in 4x4. All the best

A great house with a fantastic view of the Pacific Ocean. Almost right in the middle of the village, but absolutely private and secluded due to the hillside location. Ricardo warmly welcomed us personally and explained the house to us in detail. We would book again anytime. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to stay longer.

Ein tolles Haus mit einer traumhaften Aussicht auf den Pazifik. Quasi mitten im Ort, aber durch die Hanglage doch absolut privat und uneinsehbar. Ricardo hat uns persönlich wärmstens empfangen und uns das Haus ausführlich erklärt. Wir würden jederzeit wieder buchen. Leider war es uns nicht vergönnt, länger zu bleiben.

Thanks for coming Hans. Was very nice to meet you. I hope to see again in the future. All the best

Ricardo’s house was absolutely breath taking. Exactly as it is showed in the pictures. He arranged a wonderful yoga session on the deck, probably one of my highlights from the holiday. And the massages he arranged also on the deck absolutely blissful, we were literally in heaven. The area around has a really cool vibe to it and Ricardo will give you all the recommendations you need and book all your restaurants. He really is a true gem, his place his wonderful and beyond expectations but it is actually Ricardo’s suggestions and general loveliness that really makes the place. Thank you Ricardo, we hope to return some day ☺️

Wow Jennifer, what an amazing review!! I´m super happy to know your stay was beyond expectations, that is my goal. Thank you so much for coming and for this lovely review. Was very nice to meet all of you, you are a lovely family! You will be very welcome if you come again in the future. Enjoy the life in your beautiful Dublin! All the best

Our stay was magical. Looking around Santa Teresa during our weeklong stay, there was no place that would or could have accommodated 7 childhood friends, celebrating life at 60, more perfectly. Ricardo was extremely welcoming and communicative offering recommendations and arranging transportation, taxis, reservations, even assisting my friends with fabulous chef for private surprise bday dinner at Casa Meraki! The view of the pacific, including whitewater surf, is unparalleled, especially from within the infinity pool, both day and night. The outdoor shower, albeit tepid, was a bonus. As avid airbnb travelers, our group thought other travelers would appreciate knowing: the roadway, altho extremely rocky, is manageable in 4wd SUV. 6 adults best max. Regulating Hot water temperature & supply is “On Demand” from individual units underneath EACH bathroom sink. Laundry is a service, not self serve. The “joke” about “dull airbnb knives” applies. Sandals in pool area needed. WORTH THE CLIMB

Thanks for coming Jeanie and for your lovely review, I´m glad to know you had a great vacation and birthday!! Regarding the laundry, yes, this is a house service for the guests, the housekeeper do it if the guests need it, but as you say, it´s not self service, the washing machine and the dryer are in the laundry room close to the parking area, so that space is only for the staff. The road will be paved this week, so will not be necessary to get in 4x4 after that. The last rainy season was the most rainy ever, so the road got damaged. Thank you for the advise of knives :-) I´ll change them All the best!

We just returned home after a memorable stay at Casa Meráki. The house was just as beautiful as the photos, very clean and welcoming. The view from the pool over the ocean is unreal. We traveled with three young children and the house was perfect for our family of five. Ricardo is a true super host. He was just as attentive as a concierge at a five star hotel. He was extremely accesible and responsive, and he helped us with so much: Restaurant recommendations, day trips and excursions, kid friendly spots in town, and even driving tips. As other reviews have mentioned, the road to the house is VERY steep and pretty treacherous with potholes and turns. We brought our stroller and planned to walk everywhere during our stay since the house is so close to town, but we didn’t really understand the terrain until we saw it ourselves. Follow the advice of others and rent a 4x4 and plan to drive just about everywhere you go. Thanks Ricardo for hosting our family in your beautiful home!

This place is amazing, the view by the pool overlooking the ocean is stunning. I definitely recommend this villa, Ricardo is very helpful as well.

Thank you Lucas for coming and for your review. Was very nice to meet you. I hope to see you again in the future. All the best
