Ocean View Villa | Infinity Pool | Beach at 5 min - Villas for Rent in Playa Santa Teresa, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

One of the most stunning properties on the island .. highly recommend it.. it’s magnificent ✨

What a beautiful place with spectacular views. The beds are superb, and the villa is super-equipped. Only the road to the villa could be improved and requires a 4x4.

Wat een mooie plaats met spectaculair uitzicht. Bedden zijn supergoed en de villa is super uitgerust. Enkel de weg naar de villa is voor verbetering vatbaar en vereist een 4x4.

Beautiful place to stay we had a great time

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house in Santa Teresa. The ocean views were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the infinity pool was the perfect place to relax and take in the scenery. The property was well maintained, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a memorable vacation. Waking up to the view of the ocean each morning was a highlight of our trip. The location was excellent, offering both privacy and easy access to the town and beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would not hesitate to stay again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious getaway in Santa Teresa. location - central to everything literally a 10 minute drive to beach clubs and the beach.

We had an amazing stay at the villa, everything was absolutely incredible✨

Spectacular place, we loved this villa. Thank you very much!

Lugar espectacular, nos encantó esta villa. Muchas Gracias!

The house was very nice, tidy and clean. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and the view is spectacular. Definitely a perfect place to rest and enjoy. I would totally recommend it, and I would stay here again.

La casa estaba muy linda, ordenada y limpia. Las habitaciones son amplias y cómodas, y la vista es espectacular. Sin duda, un lugar perfecto para descansar y disfrutar. La recomendaría totalmente y volvería a hospedarme aquí.

Awesome place, we had a great stay. Berenice was very nice as well as the staff, very polite and friendly. Beautiful house, amazing view. Recommended!

The place was exactly the way it’s in the photos! When we needed something she took care of it right away. It felt safe and the maintenance people always responsive and smiling. The sunset from the place view is breathtaking! Make sure you rent 4x4 car (it’s adventure to get to the place).

Amazing experience. Would like to come and stay here again and awesome hosts that were very responsive

The place is fantastic. Anna and Edgar are very polite and always willing. Berenice is a great host. The view is unbeatable and the house is beautiful. The only thing that is not so positive is that it is further away from the beach than I expected and you are forced to go up with your own transportation

El alojamiento es fantástico. Anna y Edgar muy educados y siempre predispuestos. Berenice una gran anfitriona. La vista es inmejorable y la casa preciosa. Lo único no tan positivo es que se encuentra más lejos de lo que esperaba de la playa y estas obligado a subir con transporte propio

We loved d everything about the place! It was beautiful and spacious and perfect for our initiate getaway. The host was also really helpful with setting up a chef for us as well as an in home massage! 10/10 recommend!

Ana and Elder are the best !!! Thank you for your kindness. We will definitely be back

Ana y elder los mejores !!! Gracias x tanta amabilidad. Sin duda volveremos

A truly beautiful property in the hills of Santa Teresa. It feels very unique, safe, and offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of both the rainforest and ocean. Perfect for a private, luxurious stay.

It was a pleasure to have yo stayed with us and we a very happy that you have enjoyed the beauty of Villa Layla. Hope to see you again !

Bérénice was an exceptional host. She was incredibly responsive and genuinely helpful from start to finish, especially with getting transportation sorted and helping us organize a private chef, which made the trip feel effortless. The villa itself is stunning, even better in person, and it was very thoughtfully set up for families. We traveled with babies and really appreciated the abundant amenities provided for them, which made a huge difference day to day. The road up to the villa is indeed rough, but you come to Santa Teresa to get off the beaten path, and this place is absolutely worth it! We would highly recommend staying here for a family trip or a group vacation.

Despite the bad weather during our stay, the hosting team made a great effort to make us feel comfortable. Great impact with their positive attitude and attention . Highly recommend this place — great people make all the difference!

The house is beautiful and modern. The view is amazing. The host Berenice is very helpful. She knows everything. You can ask her any questions.

Our stay at this villa in Santa Teresa was unforgettable. The views are breathtaking and the sunsets are truly magical. We also loved the monkeys that visited each evening. The groundskeepers were friendly and always willing to help. Future guests should know that the villa can be tricky to find and the road leading up is steep and a little precarious, so arriving during daylight is best. There is construction on the property and nearby, so expect some daytime noise. The layout, with each suite self-contained, is ideal for couples or individuals traveling together who want privacy. The villa is beautiful, though the furnishings could be refreshed. Deck seating tends to stay damp without covers, and adding a few cozy spots for coffee or evening wine would make it more comfortable. Overall, this is a spectacular home in a stunning setting. The views and sunsets alone make it worth the trip.

A beautiful house, a beautiful view, the house is super-equipped and excellent communication with the host!!

Una casa hermosa una vista hermosa, la casa super equipada y excelente comunicación con la anfitriona!!

The views from this Airbnb are amazing, the villa is very comfortable for a vacation, a 4x4 car is essential. Berenice was always attentive to any questions!

Las vistas de este Airbnb son increíbles, la villa es muy cómoda para pasar unas vacaciones, indispensable un carro 4x4. Berenice siempre estuvo atenta a cualquier duda!

We stayed 2 nights at Layla's house and we felt right at home, the house is very quiet and private The beds are very comfortable and ideal for 8 guests The person who takes care of the house is always attentive to opening the gate at all times We would definitely go back

Estuvimos 2 noches en casa Layla y nos sentimos como en casa, la casa es muy tranquila y privada Las camadas muy cómodas e ideal para los 8 huéspedes La persona que cuida la casa siempre atento a apertura de el portón en todo momento Sin duda volveríamos

Villa Laya is truly spectacular. The house offers privacy and is very well designed offering spectacular views from every room. Bernice was a great host and was very helpful. I’ve stayed in a lot of AirBnb’s and this one was truly special. I seriously can’t recommend it enough!

Our group of six had a wonderful stay! Berenice was very helpful with local recommendations, and the on-site staff were so kind and helpful.

Great with an awesome view and very great host that helps you with all needs you have during your stay

Great place with the most beautiful view. Highly recommend.

Just wow!!! This place was phenomenal! The pictures don’t do it justice. Berenice was also a delight, she was extremely helpful and made our stay so enjoyable! She went out of her way to make sure the bday decorations were set and the cake she helped me order was delicious. Thank you for being such a wonderful host and opening up this beautiful space for us to make so many wonderful memories! We will definitely be back!

Amazing home. The views are unbeatable… in the middle of the jungle watching the sea. A 10!

Increíble alojamiento. Las vistas son inmejorables… en medio de la selva viendo el mar. Un 10!

Berenice was a wonderful host. Super friendly and responded right away! The house is beyond gorgeous and in a beautiful private area. Views are absolutely amazing!

Ex. The very chuza view and so is the house. 4x4 trolley 100% .

Exc. La vista muy chuza y la casa también. Carro 4x4 100% .

The home is stunning and Berenice is an excellent host. Having Juanita on-site for daily cleaning is wonderful. I know Berenice is working on paving the road so this may not be the case but it’s a trek up to the house, you definitely need 4WD and I would recommend trying to arrive during the day. This isn’t only an issue leading up to the home, the roads are rough in all of Santa Teresa.

The place is beautiful! Just like the pictures.  The nature around it is amazing as well as the views to the ocean. Juanita is very kind and helpful.  I would just need to say before making payment find out if the living room ac is working. Pura vida!

Berenice was a wonderful and responsive host and the house was spectacular. A beautiful blend of the Pacific Ocean and Jungle. This house was definitely professionally designed, no detail went unnoticed. The standout of the entire week stay was Juanita, the housekeeper. She lives on the property with her husband who is the maintenance man and security guard. Any time we needed anything, they were both readily available and the house was always clean, organized and replenished. The road up the house is long and bumpy but it’s part of the Santa Teresa experience. This house exceeded our expectations. Not to mention, it was very reasonably priced considering the house size, cleanliness, location, views, and decor. The only con was the power went out often and there was no generator but I know Berenice is working on getting one which will make this stay a 10/10! I don’t think you’ll run into this issue during high season as we came in the low rainy season so we were more susceptible. TY!

It’s a pretty house with a beautiful ocean view in the top of the mountain. Berenice is always willing to help and it’s easy to contact her. During rainy season a 4x4 is required.

We definitely enjoyed our time in this beautiful villa on top of the mountains with a top view over the jungle and the sea! It’s absolutely worth it to drive over the unpaved road to this modern dream villa!

I mean if Berenice would allow me to purchase this whole entire villa I WOULD. The pictures do not do justice because the place is absolutely stunning. But I honestly don’t know where to start but thank you and Juanita for such an amazing stay + experience. The house was nothing but amazing. Juanita and her pure soul will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Berenice kindness, her energy, and her making us feel welcome was the light of this trip. We thank you from the bottom our hearts and hope to see you guys soon <3

Hello, very grateful to Berenice. He was very kind at all times. I help us with the reservation in one of the restaurants to celebrate our wedding anniversary with a spectacular dinner, the house is an impressive view, modern design, everything is very clean, the pool is great. We are very grateful for everything. We hope to return soon

Hola muy agradecido con Berenice fue muy amable en todo momento nos ayudo con la reserva en uno de los restaurantes para celebrar nuestro aniversario de bodas con una cena espectacular, la casa una vista impresionante, diseño moderno, todo muy limpio, la piscina genial.Muy agradecido por todo esperamos volver pronto

the house is beautiful, great to visit with friends! berenice was super helpful and sweet! we had lots of fun and enjoyed every second. just fyi the road to the house is very poorly paved be careful :)

We loved staying at Villa Layla. The house is beautiful! The drive up is a bit bumpy but worth it for the view and the tranquility! The space was welcoming and comfortable. We had a great time. Berenice was an incredible host - attentive and responsive. I would highly recommend staying at her place.

The place, the house and the view were luxurious, in addition Berenice provides the collaboration of a lady who collaborates with the cleaning several times a day. Very nice Berenice and always attentive to communication

El lugar, la casa y la vista estuvieron de lujo, además Berenice brinda la colaboración de una señora que colabora con la limpieza varias veces al día. Muy agradable Berenice y siempre atenta a la comunicación

Beautiful house with lots of space and privacy and a very kind host. The road up to the house is pretty bad - a good 4x4 with thick tires is required.
