Costa Rica Beachfront Villa Juana - Houses for Rent in Playa Santa Teresa, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Richard is an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and thoughtful from start to finish. He had my ATV rental ready upon arrival and arranged seamless rides to and from Cobano airport, which made everything effortless. His place is a spacious slice of paradise right on the beach, with front-row views of Santa Teresa’s stunning sunsets. One of my favorite parts was the hammock—a perfect place to rest, read, and enjoy the partial sun with an incredible ocean breeze. It was pure relaxation. Next door, Rocomar was a huge bonus: great food, drinks, and occasional live music, yet it closes early so it never disturbed the peace. Located on the north end of town, the property feels removed from the bustle while still being incredibly easy to access everything you’d want. I slept wonderfully every night thanks to the comfortable beds and excellent air conditioning. This was the kind of place that is very hard to leave—and I’d return in a heartbeat.

Thank you Chrissy for your incredible review, we appreciate it . Thank you so much Maria and Richard

This place rocks! Best location in St Teresa. Great surfing right out the door. Tide pools were a great surprise to lounge in during low tide. Restrauent next door is super chill with great food. Daily cleaning and staff was lovely.

This is was our fourth time staying in Santa Teresa and we would choose to stay here again over every other place. The location is perfect, walkable to some spots but with a ATV can easily get to all the different restaurants and different beaches within 10ish minutes. Staying on the beach was incredible. Being next to Rocomar (a delicious restaurant) was wonderful! They close by 8pm everyday so it was never loud but we could always pop over for something if we wanted it. The facilities were very nice and very well maintained. A beautiful pool for dipping and cooling down. There were cleaners everyday which was also a special treat. Richard, our host, went above and beyond many times. He helped facilitate massages, atv rentals , and I had a dental emergency on the flight in and he helped me arrange getting it taken care of by next morning at 9am! Not only that he drove me!! Saved me much heartache on the trip. I cannot say enough good things. This is truly paradise in Santa Teresa.

What an amazing stay right on the beach in beautiful Santa Teresa !! Richard was so responsive and great ! The bar next door is amazing food and drinks and also fun entertainment :) we will definitely be back !!

This was our first visit to Costa Rica and the Villa, Santa Teresa, and Richard's marvelous hosting & villa made it a trip we'll never forget. Everything about our visit at this villa reflected the beauty & best aspects of this country. First of all, Richard went above & beyond as a host. He not only quickly accommodated our requests & needs during the stay, he also helped us book whatever we needed. He's also friendly, has wonderful stories, loves a good laugh, & his English is exceptional if you happen to not know espanol (like us!). Many people have noted the amazing cleaning service provided. I'd just like to add that the incredible staff DEEP cleaned every day; far better than some of the nicest resorts I've stayed. Finally, the location is perfect for Santa Teresa. Many of the locals & visitors congregate every evening to watch the stunning sunsets. The beach outside this property is where they gather, that's how pretty this beach is. We can't wait to come again!

Hi Matthew, thank you for letting me know about this things I’ll check it to correct them , once more thank you 🙏🏻 I’m so glad you had a wonderful vacation. Pura Vida

We had the best time at Richards place,  and loved the location being right next to Rocobar to grab a bite to eat. The beach is amazing, we would definitely book again.

Looking forward to returning next year and I won't even consider staying anyplace else in Santa Teresa. Thank you Richard for everything...

The Villa was beautiful! The view was amazing.  Richard was an amazing host and very accommodating. He made great local recommendations.  We could not have asked for a more peaceful vacation. We felt very taken care of.

Richards place looked better than the photos. It is on the beach! He is an attentive host. He gave us suggestions on where to eat and even arranged a chef to come in and serve us a meal. Did I mention it is on the beach?!  The restaurant next door is nice. We could not hear it inside or outside of Richards place. It was private and you would not know there was a restaurant there unless you walked over to it. The sound of the waves on the ocean was all we heard. It's to bad that almost everyone on this site rates their stay as 5 star.  It dilutes the meaning of 5 star.  Richards place is by far the best Airbnb we've ever stayed at.  Period.  Richard is a great host.  Attentive and not intrusive. This place has a cleaning crew that comes in everyday and cleans for you.  Have you stayed at the beach?  No matter how well you rinse there is sand everywhere.  It's nice to have someone clean up the sand for you daily. Sunsets from the beach and patio were unreal.  Book this place now.

We were in love with the house and location. Beach front as pictured. The home was clean and well maintained. The pool was cool and very refreshing to cool off in during the heat of the day. There is a beach restaurant, rocamar, located right next door that provides a lively environment while the house still feels isolated. The restaurant closes at 8 so very private during afternoon and evening. Outdoor living area is comfortable and well appointed. Richard is onsite and was extremely helpful with anything we needed. We can’t wait to come back!!

Hello Brei, I’m so happy to hear you had a wonderful time here, looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you so much

Great place! Right on the beach. There is a beach club/restaurant that you share a wall with. It did not detract from our enjoyment or experience. But some may view it differently. The caretakers are great and the area is maintained very well. We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer.

This  place is amazing! Felt unreal to be in such a majestic place to call home for a few days. Richard and his staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to help you feel at home and relaxed. The photos don’t compare to how beautiful this gem of a property is in real life. I would love to return one day and will recommend to my friends for sure! Thanks Richard!

The BEST spot in all of Santa Teresa! It truly is paradise here. You are ON the most beautiful beach. Richard and his family are wonderful. Would definitely return!

This IS the way to stay in Santa Teresa! First off, the photos do not do this air bnb and location justice - all of our jaws dropped when we arrived. Absolute paradise. There is nothing like being able to walk out to the beautiful beach EVERY day. We were close enough to town for anything we wanted to do, but far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. The main town area is very busy and loud. The home was spotless, and comfortable. It had all the amenities needed to be lived in with no stress. The home was also cleaned every day, linens were changed out, and the beds were comfy. Hammocks were hung every day and beach chairs were provided. The porch and plunge pool were wonderful to hang out on/in when it rained, or just to cool off. Richard was great. He communicated with me before our arrival, and he met with us when we arrived. He provided great local recommendations and was responsive when I reached out to him. Overall, an amazing stay and we will definitely be back!!

Pictures and description do not do justice to this amazing AirBNB! This place is everything you could want and need in Costa Rica! The location is walking distance from town, right on the beach, and next door to a delicious restaurant, and we even had loneliest in the backyard! The house is perfect - very clean, AC, pool is small but the kids had a blast and it was even great as a cool off option for us adults. The house felt very safe and secure. Richard is absolutely incredible. Extremely responsive and he helped us arrange local fun tours like zip lining, fishing, and surf lessons. He checked in regularly-but not too much. Really a true delightful host. Did I mention the location of this place is the best?!!!! Right on the beach in an area you can swim (unless the black flag is out) tide pools when tides are low just a beach walk away north. And the most breath taking sunsets of all times. It truly was a dream!

Beautiful! -Let be lulled by the sound of the sea -Let the dance of surfers be impressed by the dance of the surfers for us who are well settled on the terrace or at the beach. -Profine sunsets that are simply magical -Let him be enveloped by the kindness and daily attention of Richard and his mother -Having access to the most beautiful restaurant terrace in the world at silk's, for those who love to cook, the freshness of the fish of the day at the village fish market is a must. -The coffee shop, (Café Social) restaurants, grocery stores are all nearby -We rented a Quad for our stay and enjoyed discovering the surrounding villages, beaches on the way and nice little restaurants to discover. Richard gave us some must-see addresses which helped determine our destination of the day! Thank you Richard, for this memorable stay and this moment of magic on our vacation Annie & Stéphan

Magnifique! -Se laisser bercer par le son de la mer -Se laisser impressionner par la danse des surfeurs pour nous spectateur bien installé sur la terrasse ou à la plage. -Profiter des couchers de soleil tout simplement magique -Se laisser envelopper par la gentillesse et l'attention quotidienne de Richard et sa mère -Avoir accès à la plus belle terrasse de restaurent au monde chez soie, pour ceux qui aime cuisiner, la fraicheur des poissons du jour au fish market du village est un must. -Les coffee shop, (Café Social) les restaurants, les épiceries sont tous à proximité -Nous avons louer un Quad pour notre séjour et avons apprécié la découverte des villages avoisinant, des plages sur le chemin et des petits resto sympathique à découvrir. Richard nous a donner quelques adresses à ne pas manquer ce qui a aider à déterminer notre destination du jour! Merci Richard, pour ce séjour mémorable et ce moment de magie dans nos vacances Annie & Stéphan

What an amazing way to start the new year. Waking up to the sound of the ocean sets,  the surf steps away,  beautiful scenery, walkable beach, lazy afternoons, and the spectacular sunsets.  Richard helped coordinate our transportation, even with a missed connection, helped with recommendations for surfboards, restaurants, and his place was perfect. My son is already asking when can we return.

Richard’s beach villa is exactly as described and pictured! This was our second time back to Santa Theresa and my wife and I loved the proximity to ocean and the chilled dipping pool. Richard was incredibly responsive and helpful with every question and request we had for him. My wife and I didn’t take advantage of the fully stocked kitchen, but agreed we would in the future - Richard has it stocked with everything you could need. Highly recommend Richard’s villa if you’re looking for a spot directly on the beach to view the beautiful Santa Theresa sunsets.

Wow! Great place and great person. Richard was professional and personable. He went above and beyond to make us feel at home and watched out for. Super place and superior host.

Richard and his wife, Maria, were the most amazing hosts. They went above and beyond, far more that what I’ve experienced with other Airbnb hosts. They are kind, considerate and really want you to enjoy your time at their place.

Staying at Richard's place is like visiting your home away from home. This was my second stay and it just keeps getting better. Richard and his mother are such joys to be around - they make you feel like part of the family. Anything you need, whether it's recommendations for places to eat or help arranging excursions, Richard is there to provide. The villa itself is stunning. The views of the surrounding jungle and ocean leave you speechless every morning. But the real highlight is the perfect beachfront location. You are right in the heart of Santa Teresa, with the best surfing, dining, and nightlife just steps away. As someone who has been to Santa Teresa many times, I can say without a doubt this is the absolute best spot. Everything you could want is at your doorstep. For anyone coming to Santa Teresa for the first time, stay with Richard! I will be back many times

Gorgeous property right next to Rocamar restaurant! Watch the surfers at one of the most extreme surf spots right in front of the patio. Richard or his family is always available right on the property. They are super friendly and helpful. This is at one of the most beautiful spots just outside of the chaotic Santa Teresa hustle and bustle. Rent an ATV or vehicle for the convenience of traveling around town, but everything you need is within walking distance if you want.

Absolutely beautiful location right on the beach.  Richard’s place was wonderfully appointed with lovely wood and spotlessly clean.  The pictures do not capture the beauty of this location.  The restaurant next store is excellent and closes by 8pm for quiet nights.  We walked the beach everyday and enjoyed rhe tide pools that super close.  Book it now- you will not be disappointed.

The pictures don’t do this location justice. This is a gem of a place, and has everything you need for a private magical beach experience. The home has been beautifully finished, and they maintain it daily to a very high standard. Conveniently right next-door there is a cool surf vibe beach restaurant that almost feels like in-home dining. If you want to grab a taco or a margarita, it’s all right there. We will be returning many times

A little paradise fronting the beautiful beach in Santa Teresa.

Absolutely gorgeous place.  Was so peaceful listening to the waves at all hours.  Spectacular sunset steps from your door.  Would highly recommend as we are already working to plan our next trip.  Richard is highly responsive and always available to help with any questions.  Pura Vida!

Richard, the house and everything about it is amazing. Where do I begin? The location is beachfront, impeccably clean and Richard and Maria will help you with anything.  It is a beautiful and new house. The beds are so comfortable and there is every supply you could need in the kitchen and bathroom.  Also do not skip getting a massage from Aryeri - she comes to the house and afterwards- pura vida - life is good!

Probably one of the most accommodating hosts I’ve had- very helpful and lives right there / can and will help with any needs. This house is absolutely stunning. Loved waking up and drinking our coffee right on the beach. Very nice to be able to tuck away and hide from the sun as well. Just note you are at the end of the beach, away from where most of the town/ food is so be prepared to walk a little or rent an atv like us.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would!  What a gem!  Richard was amazing at sharing directions and then we arrived  and we were blown away.  STUNNING!  Everything done to perfection.  And then…the  beach is there - not close to but right off your deck.  Peaceful!  A family of howler monkeys randomly moved back and forth in front of our apartment.  It was great morning entertainment with our coffee.  Everything you could think of is in the apartment if you wish to cook and eat there but we went next door to the restaurant Rocomar which is open from 11am-8pm.  There is also a breakfast place just 100 metres away. We watched stunning sunsets and walked a couple hours on the beach every day.  Surfing is right there as well, we are not surfers but we enjoyed watching them catch the waves.  We will be back again and will stay longer!

Beautiful home right on the beach. The sunsets were incredible and great hosts! Highly recommend!!
