3BR house in Santa Teresa

Casa Canela - private home, steps to the beach - Houses for Rent in Santa Teresa, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Loved Carly’s place! We stay on the road that this house is located because it’s very close to the beach, restaurants, grocery, etc. Comfortable accommodations for a family of four with a nice outdoor patio to enjoy the sunny or rainy days.

This place was perfect for a stay with my husband and baby. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals at home. The outdoor space is beautiful - even though the neighbors are close by, we barely ever heard anyone, and I felt like we had full privacy. Loved jumping in the plunge pool every day and taking outdoor showers under a beautiful tree. There was plenty of counter space in the kitchen and in the bathroom, and hooks and shelves everywhere so we could make ourselves at home. There were also plenty of pool towels, bath towels and comfy pillows. Carly and Priscila provided great recommendations and were extremely responsive. They even set us up to have the cleaning lady do our laundry for us which was a huge help. We also had an issue with mosquitos but Carly and Priscila arranged to have their landscaper spray the next day  The location is perfect for a peaceful and enjoyable stay that is still walking distance to plenty of restaurants, shops, and the beach. Highly recommend

Great stay. The place is a little dated but very comfortable and the plunge pool is a nice touch. Would stay here again.

Carly's place is cool, spacious and comfortable. Priscila was incredibly welcoming and helpful and took so much time to help us get situated and comfortable. She helped me figure out a much better option for getting back so San Jose. The place is super close to the main drag in Santa Teresa and a short walk to the beach.

Hi, Diane, we really enjoyed having you and your son. Thanks for being a lovely guest!

location was perfect and it was a wonderful stay for our small group.

We are happy to know you had a wonderful stay. Come back soon!

Everything was as expected. Thank you for a great trip!

Very comfortable and very well-equipped house. It has everything to cook, rest and have a good time

Casa muy cómoda y muy bien equipada tiene de todo para cocinar, descansar y pasarla bien

Everything was impeccable. The house has 2 bedrooms + 1 mezzanine with two beds. The kitchen is super-equipped with top-of-the-line dishes and equipment. It has only one bathroom (with shower and bathtub) and another outside, next to the pool (without shower). Priscilla is always on hand to help and answer questions. The pool is small, but ideal for cooling off after the beach. It has a covered deck surrounded by greenery. We really liked the location. 3 minutes from the beach (walking) and close to restaurants, without being in the heart of Santa Teresa.

Impecable todo. La casa con 2 habitaciones + 1 entrepiso con dos camas. La cocina super equipada con vajilla y equipamiento de primera línea. Tiene un solo baño (con ducha y bañadera) y otro afuera, al lado de la piscina (sin ducha). Priscilla siempre a mano para ayudar y responder preguntar. La piscina es chiquita, pero ideal para refrescarse después de la playa. Tiene un deck cubierto rodeado de vegetación. La ubicación nos gustó mucho. A 3 minutos de la playa (a pie) y cerca de restaurantes, sin estar en pleno "centro" de Santa Teresa.

Nos alegra saber que lo pasaron bien! Un placer recibirlos :)

The house is very comfortable! Super cool! The gallery is the heart of the house and the pool, always cool and clean, was ideal for coming back from the beach all hot! The air conditioning works great and cools down super fast. The staff's attention was spectacular, they helped us with our needs and were super quick with their responses!!! The location is perfect! Walking 2 and a half blocks from the beach is super practical!!!

La casa es muy cómoda! Súper fresca! La galería es el corazón de la casa y la pileta siempre fresca y limpia fue ideal para volver de la playa acalorados! Los aires acc funcionan bárbaro y enfrían súper rápido. La atención del personal fue Especatcular, nos ayudaron en nuestras necesidades y súper rápido en las respuestas!!! La ubicación es perfecta! Caminando a 2 cuadras y media de la playa súper practico!!!

We had a lovely stay! The house is in a great location, just a short walk to the beach. Carly was quick to respond to anything we needed. Thanks for having us!

We loved staying at Carly's place.  The house had two bedrooms and a cool loft sleeping area.  The backyard and the pool were nice additions.  Having a designated parking spot was a big plus.  It was a little tight for our SUV, but we were able to get in.  It may be useful to have 4wd during rainy season as the road is steep.  It's amazing how well they designed the backyard.  Super stylish and cool, just bring some bug spray as there are mosquitoes.  We highly recommend this STR.

Recommended, the place is the same as the photos, the access to the beach and other places is done until walking, the super quiet place where you can really rest. Everything is very clean. The host is super attentive.

Recomnedado, el lugar es igual a las fotos, el acceso a la playa y otros lugares se hace hasta caminando, el lugar super tranqulo en donde se puede realmente descansar. Todo muy limpio. La anfitriona super atenta.

Our family loved this spot, great location close to restaurants and easy walk to the beach for surfing. Really enjoyed having a private pool and the outdoor hangout area was amazing! Comfortable beds, kitchen had all the essentials and very private. Host was very responsive and helpful. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Thank you, Kalvin. You and your family were wonderful guests. We would love to see you all again.

Fantastic house is just a 10-minute walk from the beach; nearby you can find a lot of good options to eat. The place is very comfortable and well stocked to meet all your needs. The co-host was extremely responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this wonderful spot!

This was one of my best Airbnb experiences. We booked it the same day we arrived and Priscila was very proactive to make sure everything was in place for us. The apartment is amazing, well furnished, air conditioned, super clean and very cute. The terrace was very convenient and enjoyable during the long periods of rain we had. I will definitely come back to Casa Canela if I come back to Santa Teresa, this place is 5 stars all around!

Great value! Awesome location with great amenities

Thank you, Elias. You were awesome guests!

Casa Canela was the perfect place for my party of four to stay. The house is super comfortable and the outside space is amazing and very relaxing to enjoy in the evenings. Priscila was extremely helpful and welcoming during our entire experience! Would definitely stay there again!

Thank you, Shaye! We would also definitely like having you again! Come back soon :)

Excellent experience. It exceeded our expectations. The attention is super fast and very attentive to the needs of the guests.

Excelente experiencia. Superó nuestras expectativas. La atención es súper rápida y muy atenta a las necesidades de los huéspedes.

Great location, nice eco friendly home, very helpful and responsive host. Fantastic spot in La Fortuna, and a good price.

We loved our stay at Casa Canela! The location was perfect! And the host was extremely helpful through our our extended stay!

We loved our time here! The space itself was exactly as described and we enjoyed using the pool. Location was also perfect for us. The beach was so close (5min walk) that we were able to easily surf every morning, and watch the sunset from the beach every night! The manager Priscilla was extremely communicative which was also very helpful for figuring out small details around the house. Would recommend!

nice ambiance and friendly communication with Priscilla

schönes Ambiente und freundliche Kommunikation mit Priscilla

Thank you, Jan! And come visit us again soon!

Our contact was Pricilla who managed everything to perfection.  She greeted  and acquainted us with how everything functioned from AC to internet.  There were ample towels for bath and beach.  The beds were comfortable and the bath spacious.  The house is newly remodeled, open and well maintained.  We were three independent adults and our dog so the additional exterior deck with fan and green space allowed us to spread out.  The loft is not designed for people with limited mobility as the stairs are steep.   My son. who was inclined to watch  late movies on Netflix, took the loft and said it was comfortable with the use of the fan to circulate the AC.  The location is safe and quiet with nearby restaurants.  Highly recommended.

Thank you, Susan, for being a lovely guest. We were happy to host you and your family. Come back soon!

It was just fantastic. A great house. We didn't want to leave. Super contact and great cleaning lady. Just magical. Always happy to come back

Es war einfach nur fantastisch. Ein großartiges Haus. Wir wollten gar nicht mehr weg. Super Kontakt und tolle Putzfrau. Einfach zauberhaft. Immer gerne wieder

You were awesome guests! We hope to see you all back!

Total gem in the heart of Santa Teresa with a wonderful host.

From the time our family arrived to when we left Priscila made sure we had everything we needed. The home was in the perfect location closet the beach and restaurants. The kitchen is fully equipped as well. The back deck is incredible to sit and relax. Our family can not say enough good things about the home, location, and the amazing host Priscila :)

Thank you, Natalie! You and your family were great guests. Come back soon!

Awesome spot to surf enjoy the beach amazing food arround!

We are glad you enjoyed the house and the beach, and that you caught some good waves! Come back soon!

Stayed here for 2 and half weeks, Priscilla was very friendly and communicative. She was quick to respond to anything we needed, and the place is perfect if you are a surfer as it is a 2 minute walk to the main break. Great AC and nice outdoor space. Close walking distance to multiple restaurants and surf shops, would definitely stay again

Hi, Tom. We were very happy to host you. You’re welcome back any time :)

The place was everything we wanted and more. It matched the pictures and description perfectly. Walkable to everything beach and restaurants. Priscila was an amazing host. Always responsive and was very helpful. We would highly recommend !!

Thank you, Tara! You are welcome back any time you like!

Amazing home, looks even better in person. Loved the outdoor deck and shower. Perfect location in Santa Teresa, walkable to stores, restaurants and beach. Priscilla was extremely helpful and communicative throughout our entire trip.

Thank you, Dylan! You are all welcome any time :)

Not too sure who Carly is but Priscilla was amazing! There was an issue with the AC and it was fixed immediately. She also offered some suggestions for things to do in the area. The house was cute, clean and tucked away from the main street. We really enjoyed our stay. Carly also let us check out late since there wasn’t another guest coming that day. This was super helpful because I actually got really sick the evening before our checkout. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful host!!

Thank you, Gianna. I hope you’re all better now. Come back anytime.

We had an amazing time staying at Casa Canela! The house itself was comfortable and spacious, the pool was super clean and a great plus, and the house was really well equipped with everything (towels, linens, kitchen utensils, etc.) The house is incredibly well located, very close to the beach and walkable distance to a lot of good restaurants. It’s still secluded enough so the noise and bustle is not a bother. Priscilla, the property manager, was super nice, helpful, attentive and responsive. 10/10 would recommend this place for staying in Santa Teresa!

We enjoyed the week in Casa Canela with our three boys very much. In particular, the lockable access to the pool was very convenient with the infants. It had everything and more you need. Otherwise, Priscila, the co-host, would have organized missing. The covered terrace with the great mini forest and the outdoor shower is beautiful. Unfortunately, the corner probably attracted the mosquitoes. Over time, we got along well with appropriate mosquito products. We and also the kids would come back anytime.

Wir haben die Woche in Casa Canela mit unseren drei Buben sehr genossen. Insbesondere der abschliessbare Zugang zum Pool war mit den Kleinkindern sehr praktisch. Es hatte alles und mehr was es braucht. Ansonsten hätte Priscila, die Co-Gastgeberin, Fehlendes bestimmt organisiert. Die gedeckte Terrasse mit dem tollen Miniwald und der Aussendusche ist wunderschön. Leider hat die Ecke die Mücken wohl etwas angezogen. Mit der Zeit kamen wir mit entsprechenden Mückenprodukten aber gut zurecht. Wir und auch die Kinder würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

We are sorry to hear the mosquitoes were particularly annoying! They can be very bad in Santa Teresa when the rains start this time of year. Thank you for letting us know. We will get the house fumigated!
