Staying at Casa Celeste in Malpaís, Costa Rica, was an unforgettable experience. The villa offers a serene beachfront setting, making it feel like a private nature park. The sounds of the waves and the surrounding wildlife create a peaceful ambiance. The amenities, including a private pool, outdoor bathtub and shower, BBQ, yoga deck, hammocks, and outdoor seating area, are thoughtfully designed for relaxation and enjoyment. The property is clean, rustic, and well-situated, making it suitable for families. A special thanks to our host Ryan, who was extremely responsive and made the booking and check-in process seamless. Onsite, Vicente the caretaker was an absolute gem—friendly, helpful, and full of local knowledge. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, Casa Celeste is a perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty.

Ce fut des vacances de famille tout simplement parfaites! Notre hôte, Vicente était formule et toujours disponible pour nous aider. Nous l'avons tellement aimé que nous avons pris une photo de famille avec lui en quittant. Concernant la maison, elle est parfaite. Très privée, devant la mer, très confortable et le service de ménage quotidien était un grand plus pour les vacances relaxantes. Nous sommes très content d'avoir choisi cette maison. Dernière mention, prendre notre douche à l'extérieur en regardant les étoiles le soir ou la mer le jour est unique et tellement agréable. Merci pour tout et on espère revenir un jour!

This place was amazing. Our stay was perfection. We loved Vincente and his sweet spirit. He made sure everything was taken care of. I have never stayed at an Airbnb before with such great service. We left Mal Pais and came to Nosara, my kids wish we would have stayed another week there. We will for sure be back!

Everything was perfect - from the amenities to location, the beachfront view, the wonderful Vicente always willing to help every step of the way, and Diana & Ran being so communicative and welcoming. Would absolutely visit and stay again.

We had such a lovely time staying at Casa De Celeste. The property was absolutely gorgeous and in close proximity to town and adventures. It was the perfect getaway before our wedding. The caretaker Vincente was so kind and very helpful. He truly made the place feel like home. We will return and are looking forward to that day. I highly recommend this property.

La casa celeste es un lugar ideal para pasar las vacaciones, la propiedad es muy grande, muy limpia, cómoda y muy bien equipada. Como comentario, durante la estadía la limpieza de la casa y de la piscina varió mucho, entre 1-2h en un horario diurno de uso de la piscina, pasadas las 8 de la mañana, por lo que nosotros si consideraríamos un horario más congruente (especialmente el día del checkout), debido a que perdíamos tiempo de uso del establecimiento. Además, el internet es muy lento para 8 personas. Volvería sin pensarlo.

Such a beautiful location and the PERFECT villa for my family and I. The property is exactly as per the photos. It is maintained daily by Vincete (awesome guy and super friendly/really helpful). The house was cleaned daily at no extra cost. We had such a wonderful time staying here with 2 young kids, grandma and brother’s family. The view from the kitchen and outdoor area/pool is beautiful and never gets old. Would love to come back again!

The best Airbnb we have ever stayed in - and we have stayed in over 50 Airbnbs. This was our 2nd time back and we were blown away this time just as much as our first visit! The house is the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed in. There is daily cleaning and care for the home. Outside, inside, dishes, laundry, you name it. The caretaker Vicente makes this house a home. We CANNOT say enough about him. He is one of the kindest humans and so helpful. We feel comfortable, safe, and valued when we stay here because of him. Our kids love Vicente and even cry when we leave. He helps with excursions, security, questions, and maintains our privacy impeccably while still being close if needed. The location is unbeatable. Far enough out of town to have peace and quite but close enough you can walk to Santa Theresa by beach. Everything is amazing here and we recommend to everyone visiting Costa Rica.
