Montezuma Beach Villa - Houses for Rent in Montezuma, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Thank you, Karen, Lilly, Ana. What an amazing experience for our family. Thank you for your time and patience and hospitality.

Thank you again Jen. Amazing little girls like yours are always in our hearts!!!!

The Montezuma Beach House was exactly what you want in Costa Rica. There grounds were  covered in such beautiful landscaping. There were inviting paths leading to the beach and the turtle hatching area. The pool was just perfect for our family. Enjoying meals at the outdoor dining area was our favorite. The kitchen is fully stocked with all you need for cooking meals. Our outdoor time always included the background sound of ocean waves. We loved the rustic feel with modern conveniences. This house was so perfect for our family to spend time together relaxing.

The property was absolutely amazing—no exaggeration. It was beautiful, exactly as described, and just as shown in the photos. It provided the perfect relaxing respite to end our journey in Costa Rica. Karen’s communication was exemplary. Before we arrived, she provided very clear directions to the property along with many helpful suggestions for nearby activities and restaurants, complete with contact information. She also responded quickly to our questions throughout the week. The onsite staff were always friendly and helpful. We especially appreciated having access to a washer and dryer, which allowed us to pack light. The property was very clean and well maintained, and the kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything we could possibly need. Thank you, Karen, for everything!

This Was A Great Relaxing Weekend Highly Recommend It.

thank you Carl...we would love to see you again

Tropical paradise.  We fell asleep to the sounds of the ocean and heard and saw howler monkeys during the day! The rooms were gorgeous and the pool area was a wonderfully relaxing for our family!  Tell all your friends to stay here!

💕. Wonderful guests for sure!!!!! I love people who "get it". Costa Rica, that is'

Karen is an amazing host with decades worth of knowledge about the area. She had local connections which helped us to book surf lessons, go on a waterfall hike, a private fishing and snorkeling boat, and recommended other areas to travel to for day trips. The location of the house is perfect, only steps to the beach. The house is beautiful and the grounds are amazing. It felt like we had a while resort to ourselves.  Great for our family of 4.  The beach had only a couple people at any one time so most of the time it felt like it was our own beach. Waves were good for boogie boarding and mostly sand which was nice. The walk to town was short and had lots of restaurants that catered to gluten allergies. The pool was clean and perfect. The outdoor BBQ area is huge. We saw monkeys, turtles, lizards and all sorts of animals. Lily the housekeeper attended to our every need and the grounds keepers were helpful too. We felt safe & would go back with a large group since there is so much space!

Montezuma Beach Villa hosted by Karen is a magical place where the beach is just past a few palm trees. We had 3 families stay here and we were all in love with this place and did not want to leave :). The beautiful landscaping, pool, amenities, local restaurants, and of course Lilly (the groundskeeper) who was attentive to our every need, made this stay a relaxing and welcoming getaway for us. Even with the doors shut and AC running, you are close enough to the ocean you can be serenaded to sleep with the waves. We are already talking about coming back and enjoying more time at this location. I would absolutely recommend this lovely place. Thanks!

Thank you for being great guests and we would love it if you came back. Become a local 😉

One of the best airbnbs we've stayed in on the beach. It is very easy to get to. The directions are very accurate. The house has 4 large rooms with all necessary amenities, very comfortable beds and air conditioning. The Kitchen is perfectly equipped, very spacious and cool. It has a very large, gas BBQ grill that made things very much easier for us as we were a large family group. The best thing this house has is its location in front of the beach of montezuma. Just a few steps away walking. From the house and garden you can see all kinds of wild animals. In just 4 days I could see capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, iguanas, pericos, guacamayas, pizotes, and whales, Si! Whales! Swim in open sea off the coast of the peninsula. Definitely I would host again at Karen's house, super Recommended

Uno de los mejores airbnb en donde nos hemos quedado en la playa. Es muy fácil para llegar. Las indicaciones son muy precisas. La casa tiene 4 cuartos grandes con todas las comodidades necesarias, camas muy confortables y aire acondicionado. La Cocina está perfectamente equipada, es muy amplia y fresca. Tiene una parrilla para BBQ muy grande, de gas, que nos facilitó muchísimo las cosas ya que éramos un grupo familiar grande. Lo mejor que tiene esta casa es su ubicación frente a la playa de montezuma. A solo unos cuantos pasos caminando. Desde la casa y el jardín se ve toda clase de animales silvestres. En solo 4 días Pudimos ver Monos capuchinos, monos aulladores, iguanas, pericos, guacamayas, pizotes, y ballenas, Si! Ballenas! Que nadan en mar abierto frente a la costa de la península. Definitivamente me Volvería a hospedar en la casa de Karen, súper Recomendado

Location, location, location! We fell asleep to the sound of waves crashing and the beach was steps from the home. My kids cried when we had to leave! The pool was the perfect spot to cool off and it’s an easy walk into town. Everyone was kind and friendly on the property and we felt very safe with our two little kids. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you, Karen!

This place is amazing… great outdoor living space with plenty of seating, and room to spread out and explore, beautiful lush, tropical landscape, an awesome pool, amazing wildlife, and right on the ocean. Very good restaurants in walking distance. My kids (early 30’s) took the horseback tour on the beach to the waterfall and loved it. Karen is a gracious host and Lily and the groundskeeper were very friendly and responsive. Loved the hammock so much, I went into town and bought one to bring home. This was one of the most unique, beautiful places I’ve ever stayed in and we ALL (3 generations) loved it. BOOK THIS PLACE NOW!

This is an amazing location, the house , the service , the amenities are all wonderful ! Will definitely come back soon.

Wow! So incredibly beautiful and serene. We felt like royalty. Absolutely gorgeous grounds, exquisite appointments and lovely on-site personnel. Felt like we were alone in the world! Just a hop skip and a jump to a sparsely populated beach with trails along the coast. Karen was incredibly responsive and helpful when little things came up here and there. She recommended a chef team (DaTwins)  to cook us an authentic tico meal which was incredible and the house attendant  “den mother” Lilly was such a peach!! The pool was gorgeous and the covered bbq and dining/sitting area was perfect…especially during the crazy storm we had. Would give more stars if I could. ❤️❤️❤️

Perfect vacation rental for our family. The house was exactly as the pictures showed, amazing hospitality from the caretakers of the property- they all went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Excellent communication from the host, before and during our trip; incredibly clean and well maintained. We will absolutely be back.

thank you Kristopher...we love guests like you. You definitely "get it". Costa Rica is amazing for the people who "get it". do come back soon! and thank you for being such wonderful guests.! Karen

This was the most magical AirBNB stay I have ever had. It has been a really memorable stays in a beautiful part of Costa Rica. Montezuma is an awesome area, very relaxed and chilled. Boho was a great description of the area. The rooms were stunning, the setting was incredible, situated right next to the beach. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and helpful. We really don’t want to leave this very special place. The swimming pool was awesome too. We couldn’t recommennd this place enough. Thank you so much Karen, Pippa, Lily, Orlando and Pedro … you were amazing.

We love guests like you and your family Nicky. do come back soon! Karen

This is a really special place.  Beautiful, clean, well air conditioned house with all the kitchen amenities you might need.  A well maintained pool, friendly staff on site, feet from the beach, and a ten minute walk into town.  I’ve been coming to the area for almost 30 years, and Karen’s place is as good as it gets.

Beautiful property The pool is amazing Wildlife, ocean air, beautiful views The grounds keepers and staff on the property were so sweet and helpful. Definitely would go back anytime and highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at this incredible property on the beach.

Our stay here was one of the highlights of our vacation. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Montezuma beach house. Karen was such a wonderful host and was extremely approachable and prompt. We spoke on the phone and texted several times. We can’t say enough about the location, listening to the ocean and rain at night was amazing. The house was very clean and the rooms were very comfortable. We cooked and ate outside every night. The wildlife kept our children captivated and the pool entertained them for hours. We would recommend this place to any and all of our friends.

Want a nice getaway a hop and a skip to the beach? Look no further, this is a fully stocked home with all the necessities you need or didn't know you needed for a home away from home.

Karen is actively involved when having issues at the stay even if she’s is a long distance away from the house. We really appreciated her active involvement and eagerness to made our stay as relax as possible even when sometimes it can’t be fixed she tries to have a solution.

This place was obviously not the place for Rob. 1. we offered a full refund if he wanted to go someplace else....he said no. 2. we offered money back and he could stay the full stay.... he accepted 3. the cleaning crew tried to help with his complaints but he would not let them in 4. he spent much of his stay sending me pictures of what he thought was wrong. 5. he intimated the cleaning crew by his constant taking of pictures like the laundry room.....very sad for everyone

We had an amazing time in Montezuma. There are no properties like this one in Montezuma - on the beach and with a pool. We had a great time.

We loved having you and your family.  thank you for being such great guests.  The caretakers loved you all.  Hope to see you come back one day.

This was such a fun location to stay in! Karen was very helpful in providing directions to the house, restaurant tips (all were fantastic), etc... You cannot beat the location of this house since it's literally steps away from the beach and minutes away from the town.

Large house very well equipped. The best part is the outdoors with a terrace in the middle of a lush garden, overlooking the ocean. The big problem is to choose between swimming in the pool or in the ocean. 😉The rooms are spacious and the furniture very beautiful. The caretaker is helpful and responds to any requests. I recommend it without hesitation !

Grande maison très bien équipée. Le top, c’est l’extérieur avec une terrasse au milieu d’un jardin luxuriant, avec vue sur l’ocean. Le gros problème est de choisir entre baignade dans la piscine ou dans l’océan 😉 Les chambres sont spacieuses et le mobilier très beau. Le gardien est serviable et répond à toutes les demandes. Je conseille sans hésiter !

My family and I loved staying at Karen's place in Montezuma. The location is great and walking distance to everything in town. Oldemar and crew were very helpful and always a phone call away if we needed anything. I highly recommend Karen's place for your Montezuma oasis.

One of the best air bnb stays we have ever had . A gorgeous house on the beach beautiful views of the sea and the jungle  it was like our own little boutique hotel close to montezuma town. We loved it. Thank you Karen and team xxx

The place is very nice, very well located. We had a great time, the people who work there are very friendly 

El lugar muy lindo, muy bien ubicado. La pasamos muy bien, las personas que trabajan ahí muy amables 

Awesome location--that's a minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the hip town of Montezuma. The home is fully furnished--including kitchen ware. The grounds are lovely and the caretakers are kind and helpful. Great location for family vacation or to pull together close friends for an adventure. In addition to driving directions provided, I suggest loading Waze--it took us right to the location. You want to avoid arriving in the dark if possible. Water pressure in the home is low; however, water is good and hot. We'd certainly rent Karen's home again!

The Beach House is a great place for a small group to stay -nice private bed/bath rooms, full kitchen and beautiful pool and patio. It's in convenient walking distance to the town and the Ylang Ylang resort. The resort has great dining at very reasonable prices. Barb and Craig

Everything was perfect even more. Close to the city center, the sea and all nearby activities. Karen and George are great and always available. A big thank you to them. 

Tout était parfait même plus. Proximité du centre ville, de la mer et de toutes les activités alentours. Karen et George sont géniaux et toujours très disponibles. Un grand merci à eux. 

This was my first trip to Costa Rica. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect other than we knew we wanted to stay somewhere where we could experience a combination of beach and jungle habitat with a more local feel instead of a tourist trap. Montezuma provided all of these things. Karen's property provided an unexpected luxurious stay right in the middle of this remote area, far away from any "all inclusive" resort. Her beach villa provided every opportunity to stay and relax in comfort with all the amenities of a resort, but while also being able to enjoy the natural and remote offerings of the community of Montezuma, which is just a short 5-10 minute walk. Given that we wanted to experience a remote experience away from typical tourist resorts, we were ready for the flip side of that which requires further travel pains, scheduling, and financial costs to get to this area. Pre-Planning your trip to and from the airport needs to be done proactively. The good news is that Karen can help with all of those details. We enjoyed waterfall hikes, horseback riding on the beach, deep sea fishing, snorkeling, and also the offerings of Montezuma which include great local food and dinning, bars, and local culture which is very friendly and non threatening. Highly recommended if you're willing to go the extra mile to get a true feel for living "off the grid" in Costa Rica.
