3BR villa in San José

Little gem with private pool &  ocean/beach view! - Houses for Rent in Herradura, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

We finished our exploration of Costa Rica at Carolina and Guillermo's place. And what a wonderful end of stay! The space is designed for relaxation! It goes without saying that the highlight is its exterior with the pool and the sea view. But the interior is just as nice (well equipped, comfortable bedding), as is the proximity to the beach. And the little extra: without leaving the terrace, you have the chance to observe birds, iguanas, and even raccoons. Carolina and Guillermo were very attentive, both before our arrival and during our stay (in fact, we encountered a problem with the air conditioning, which was repaired in record time). A great experience, we would recommend it without hesitation!

Nous avons terminé notre découverte du Costa-Rica dans le logement de Carolina et Guillermo. Et quel fin de séjour magnifique ! Le logement aspire à la détente ! Il va s'en dire que le plus est son extérieur avec la piscine et la vue sur la mer. Mais l'intérieur est tout aussi agréable ( bien équipé, literie confortable ) ainsi que la proximité de la plage. Et le petit plus , sans quitter la terrasse on a la chance de pouvoir observer les oiseaux, iguanes et même des ratons-laveurs. Carolina et Guillermo sont très attentifs que ce soit avant notre arrivée et pendant notre séjour ( en effet nous avons rencontré un soucis avec une climatisation, celle-ci fût réparée en un temps record). Une superbe expérience, nous le recommandons sans hésiter !

Carolina and Guillermo were wonderful hosts! The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. They were very kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We had a great time in Punta Leona and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

The place is beautiful, just as seen in the photos! The check-in instructions are very clear and access was very easy. Communication was immediate when we had questions. We found everything we needed for cooking and the grill! Everything was amazing! Highly recommended!

El lugar es hermoso, tal como se ve en las fotos! Las instrucciones para el check in son muy claras y fue muy fácil el acceso. La comunicación fue inmediata cuando teníamos preguntas. Encontramos todo lo necesario para cocinar y la parrilla! Todo estuvo increíble! Súper recomendado!

Wow!  Wow!  Thats all we had to say, and that’s what you will be say as you arrive at this epic home.  It’s the total package!  Incredible view and outdoor space, pool, comfortable beds, quiet neighborhood, incredible beach within walking distance, clean/modern bathrooms and kitchens.  This place is a dream!  One of our favorite AirBnbs ever!  Worth every penny, and then some!

The stay was exactly what we were looking for: privacy, tranquility and freedom for the kids to enjoy. The views are spectacular and the beach is beautiful. Although we had rain, we never had major problems with electricity. Communication with Caro and Guille was excellent; they were always attentive and available, which gives you a lot of peace of mind. A tip for future guests: don't underestimate raccoons. They are very curious and mischievous neighbors who can surprise you if you leave food outside. They gave us a couple of scares, but also a lot of laughs, and they were part of an unforgettable experience! We would definitely come back again.

El hospedaje fue exactamente lo que buscábamos: privacidad, tranquilidad y libertad para que los niños disfrutaran. Las vistas son espectaculares y la playa preciosa. Aunque nos tocó lluvia, nunca tuvimos problemas importantes con la electricidad. La comunicación con Caro y Guille fue excelente; siempre atentos y disponibles, lo que da muchísima tranquilidad. Un consejo para futuros huéspedes: no subestimen a los mapaches. Son unos vecinos muy curiosos y traviesos que pueden sorprenderlos si dejan comida afuera. ¡Nos sacaron un par de sustos, pero también muchas risas y fueron parte de una experiencia inolvidable! Sin duda, volveríamos.

Excellent location, it had a great view, the beach is close by, we walked there, the house is just as shown in the photos. A quiet place, perfect for relaxing and enjoying time with family.

Exelente ubicación tenia una gran vista , la playa esta cerquita fuimos caminando , la casa es tal cual a las fotos . lugar trankilo apenas para descansar y disfrutar con la familia.

We had a lovely stay and enjoyed our short visit to the area.  We really enjoyed the amazing views from the edge of the property and the wonderful bbq area.  Cocktails watching the sunrise and sunset (and surfers) was a highlight of our trip.  Thank you Carolina and Guillermo!

Beautiful accommodation in an unbeatable location near Playa Blanca, about a two-hour drive from San José. The place is exactly as shown in the pictures. They offer a wonderful Argentine-style BBQ setup, which is perfect if you enjoy grilling. Everything was clean and well organized. Carolina was responsive and attentive to all our questions. My only observation is that there are quite a few stairs, so it may not be ideal for small children or elderly family members. I would definitely come back.

Spectacular terrace and pool, the view is very nice. It is quite close to Playa Blanca, you can walk although the road is a bit steep. Self check-in, communication and very clear instructions from the hosts. Overall a perfect place for a few days vacation!

Terraza y piscina espectacular, la vista es muy linda. Queda bastante cerca a playa Blanca, se puede caminar aunque el camino es un poco empinado. Self check-in, comunicación e instrucciones muy claras por parte de los anfitriones. En general un lugar perfecto para unos días vacaciones!

Lovely home with beautiful views. We could have lived on the pool patio. We stayed during a holiday period and the traffic in the resort by beach parking was challenging, so it’s helpful to stock up on food and necessities before arriving. 20-30 minutes from the house just to get out the security gate to the road. But once in the house was lovely- macaws abundant, iguanas in the trees, toucans. The beach is a steep hike and we would have rented a golf cart if we had a redo. The beach was wonderful though- flocks of tropical birds and monkeys in the trees. The studio had a mildew smell. The hosts were very responsive with any questions. We had a great stay!

We had a great stay. We loved the views and the location. Carolina and Guillermo were great hosts and very helpful and responsive. We would love to come back and stay again soon.

excelent place to stay, only thing I find worth mentioning is that both bedroom's and bathroom's are either on the second floor or at the studio below so if you're going with elderly people keep that in mind.

Pros: great responsive hosts, easy check in, super clear and complete instructions, clean clutter free space, great views, nice clean modern interior. Easy to get to the beach!!! Cons: frequent electrical outages of long duration (which are mentioned as possible in hosts ad, but were surprisingly frequent and long), no AC in common area (also not a surprise, but what was surprising was that this meant the temp there was 90 F all the time), strong smell of mildew in studio, plug in air fresheners throughout the house giving off an unpleasant industrial cleaner scent that lingers even after you unplug them.

We had so much fun in a really amazing house and view and we even made some new Iguanas and Mapaches friends… Really one of the best establishments in Playa Blanca (and we have seen a lot over the years). For sure we are coming back!

Beautiful place with a great view. Tucked neatly on a sea side cliff with sound of calming waves to wake up to everyday. Great view, Great pool and patio with bbq options, Extra patio with views of the Pacific, Plenty of space and my kids loved the pool. Waves do get rough in the nearby beach so pool is a great alternative. You dont need go to a park to see wildlife when you have it all around you. I saw so many birds I have never seen in my life. Host is very responsive and friendly. Check in is easy. Beach is very clean. Not many cons to list to be honest but a couple things to be aware of - House is deep inside a community/club called Punta Leones and is far from the main road and also gated with security so no food delivery or taxis. - Beach is closeby but you have to walk down and uphill (pretty steep climb) and the club wont let you use their water if you need a shower after beach. Staff there is pretty annoying and chase you arnd to make sure you arent using their water.

The stay was excellent. The place is beautiful and the hosts were very attentive, always ready to answer any questions. 100% recommended.

La estadía fue excelente. El lugar es precioso y los anfitriones fueron muy atentos, siempre dispuestos a responder cualquier consulta. 100% recomendado.

Casa hermosa con una vista magnífica de la playa. Carolina fue una anfitriona fenomenal y siempre contestó a nuestras preguntas de una forma muy clara y rápida. Recomiendo el lugar 100%

Excellent property and location, I definitely come back and recommend 100%

Excelente propiedad y ubicación, definitivamente vuelvo y recomiendo 100%

This place was stunningly beautiful. Such a hidden gem. The pool overlooking the beach below had wonderful views. The host was very helpful and responsive. We really enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommend!!

Thank you for letting us stay at your place

Carolina and Guillermo’s house was perfect for our family of four - including 2 kiddos (6 and 11). The house was spotless and super comfortable-and the pool was amazing for the kids. Carolina was very responsive and communicative especially as we were arranging various activities. We will definitely be back!

Very nice house, we enjoyed our stay, comfortable house, delighted to have been able to observe the parrots, iguanas and raccoons.

Maison très agréable nous avons apprécié notre séjour maison confortable ,ravis d’avoir pu observer les perroquets ,iguanes et ratons  laveurs.

Beautiful place at Punta Leona Residential.

excellent as always we are frequent clients and we will keep on going whenever we can

excelente como siempre somos clientes frecuentes y seguiremos llendo cada vez que podamos

If you don’t like Animals at your BBQ, or joking for dinner. This area (nothing to do with the lovely home, just lots of animals) this place is a NO GO.

The house is beautiful and the view is truly stunning! We had issues with the instructions and the links shared for directions to get to the house. First day the GPS took us to a “back road” that was horrible. The security person instructed us of a better road and the main entrance. It is very confusing and scary as the road is very darl during the night. Everything else was perfect!

A very nice house, the view is breathtaking.

Una muy linda casa, la vista es impresionante.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carolina and Guillermo's home. It is a modern and stylish villa with beautiful surroundings; perfect for relaxing in private and enjoying the surrounding nature. One of the highlights of the villa is the large outdoor area with the pool. The area the home is situated in is gated and it felt very secure. There were only a few minor issues with the villa. The Studio door was difficult to lock and unlock so we had to avoid locking it. There were only two sun beds by the pool, which was not enough for the amount of people in our party that wanted to sunbathe. Despite this, it didn't impact the enjoyment of our holiday and we would highly recommend staying here.

I the home is so beautiful. We loved the view as well. Only cons would be that you really need a car. My sisters couldn’t get food at the beach without paying 85 for a day pass and had a difficult time finding a Uber to come up the road in order to go get food. The overall experience was amazing tho just note that it will be very different if you don’t rent a car

its a great modern house, quite area, good walk to great beach. You must have a car to reach the house , 4x4 or suv because of steep hills and rain in the area. The view is fabulous. do not leave the door opens as racoons can come in and eat the food, they love bananas lol, but we loved one racoon  that came in daily and was friendly with us still be careful as they have rabies should they bite you, also the iguanas were friendly to be around and enjoyed some food with us. i highly recommend this place !

Amazing place. The pictures do an amazing job but once you get there it’s even way better than it seems. The place was super clean, the host was very responsive at all times. We had a group of 6 and everyone was comfortable. I do like how we are in a gated community - it gave us a sense of security. The power was a little iffy during the night/ with bad weather but there is no control over that! I would definitely recommend this place to stay!

We stayed at this pretty house on a hillside over looking the ocean. The drive in is a little rough but worth not being in an overcrowded area. We ate at a few places about 15-20 min away and enjoyed the food. The house was lovely. Not a lot comfortable seating inside the little apartment living space but we weren’t inside much. The pool was amazing. We saw iguanas, bats, macaws, and raccoons. I loved the sitting area over looking the ocean. Everything worked well and was clean, the hosts were very helpful, and overall we loved staying there.

This was by far our favorite airbnb we stayed at. It was such a nice house with a beautiful view. The hosts were very responsive and were willing to help with anything that came up. I do wish that we knew that an extra 15-20 minutes is added to the drive from the entrance of the area but past that everything was wonderful!

The best place in the Central Patcifico , we have gone twice and will continue to go on going at least 2 times per year,  the best experience .

El mejor lugar del Pácifico Central , hemos ido dos veces y seguiremos llendo al menos 2 veces por año,  la mejor experiencia .

Amazing mountain house with full amenities!! Everything very tidy and modern and the owners very attentive to make the stay a success. We will definitely be back

Increíble casa en la montaña con full amenidades!! Todo muy ordenado y moderno y los dueños muy pendientes de que la estadía fuera un éxito. Volveremos seguramente

This house is just unbelievable! The views from the house are out of this world! The house is beautiful and amazing inside and out. We saw a lot more wild life than we expected uo close and personal on the deck! This is a cool & beautiful stay and we would totally do it again!

Beautiful property - clean and modern. Owners were helpful and quick to reply. You have to stop thru two security checkpoints for the first couple days to communicate to them that you don't have wristbands but have an access code. After a couple days they recognized us and we didn't have to stop. Many restaurants are 20-35 minutes away because you're on a gravel road for a few miles outside the neighborhood. The nearest beach, Playa Blanca is beautiful and the nicest we found. The beach isn't far but the walk is pretty steep. An on site golf cart for rental would have been amazing. Saw macaws and iguanas daily and monkeys one day at the beach. Our only issue was the downstairs studio apartment had a very strong musty smell that didn't dissipate. The door was open when we arrived probably to air it out but you could smell it before inside. No idea where it's coming from because the place appears very clean. No smell at all in the upstairs property as they are not adjoined inside.

The setting is spectacular — great view, fabulous pool and deck for relaxing, and a very comfortable place to call home for our stay. Walking to the beach is easy, too. Carolina was awesome in her quick response time to all questions, very friendly and so helpful. Truly a SuperHost!

This place is amazing! I stayed for 2 weeks and was able to explore. It’s in a gated community with private beaches, restaurants, and more activities… don’t hesitate to book it.

The location was great and the swimming pool nice. The parrots on the trees were impressive. Also the big iguana on the premises was so nice. The only thing that was difficult was the taste on the lower floor. It smells like moisture.

Die Lage war super und der Swimmingpool schön. Die Papageien auf den Bäumen waren beeindruckend. Auch der grosse Leguan auf dem Areal war so schön. Das einzige, was schwierig war, war der Geschmack im unteren Stock. Es riecht nach Feuchtigkeit.

No easy to define what is nicer between this beautiful property or the owners Carolina and Guillermo. The experience we had in their property was really much much better than we could imagine. I highly recommend this place to anybody that really wants enjoy a beautiful  sightsee with all the accommodations coming from a modern house. Probably it is the most enjoying experience I've had using Airbnb's.

Our family enjoyed a week here. The view is absolutely stunning, we saw Iguanas, Scarlet Macaws, Monkeys, and enjoyed many meals and sunsets from the deck overlooking the ocean. The home is equipped with everything you need and was very clean and modern. We felt very secure here. The hosts were always responsive and polite. Thank you Carolina and Guillermo for opening your home to us. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again.

The space very well according to the photos, good location , good location , good distribution of space, clean. Beautiful view of the ocean

El espacio muy acorde a las fotos, buena ubicación , buena distribución de espacio, limpio. Vista hermosa al océano

I find it a beautiful place, close to the practical and useful GAM for a weekend escape

Me parece un lugar bellísimo, cerca del GAM práctico y útil para un escape de fin de semana

Everything was great but communication was above and beyond.

The house is very nice, I highly recommend this experience!

La casa es muy bonita, recomiendo altamente esta experiencia!

Beautiful place, I just couldn't get enough of the view from the pool area. The host is quick to answer to questions. I recommend!

Beautiful accommodation with a large pool and incredible views

Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit einem großen Pool und unglaublichen Ausblick

The best part of the place is the view. Check-in instructions are simple. Please note that you cannot park on the Club premises, you must walk and there is a slope so if you go with children or older adults they rent a golf cart better. Instead it is perfectly equipped to do a barbecue, overall the outdoor area is beautiful. The rooms in the apartment are very nice.

Lo mejor del lugar es la vista. Las instrucciones para la llegada son sencillas. Debes tomar en cuenta que no puedes parquear en las instalaciones del Club, debes caminar y hay una cuesta, así que si vas con niños o adultos mayores mejor alquilan un carrito de golf. En lugar está perfectamente equipado para hacer una parrillada, en general el área externa es hermosa. Las habitaciones del apartamento son muy bonitas.
