4BR villa in Nicoya

4BR Beachfront Villa Helena - Villas for Rent in Playa Santa Teresa, Puntarenas , Costa Rica

We really enjoyed a week of extended family time here, combination of adults and children. Each room with its own bathroom was helpful and the kids really enjoyed the pool. The house cleaner came each morning and changed towels, linens, cleaned up the kitchen, etc - she was very kind and helpful. Note there is no dishwasher and seating to eat for more than 4 is outdoors only. The beach is a few hundred feet away which made it easy for shorter visits and kid trips back to the bathroom or for snacks. The sunsets were beautiful and at low tide The little pools in the rocks were nice to explore! The home is nearby the main road in town which has many restaurants, grocery stores, ice cream spots and more all within walking distance. There is a bar next door that had louder music one night until 11p or so which didn't impact us much but just an FYI for others!

We had a wonderful stay! The house is charming, beautifully maintained, and everything was spotless when we arrived. The location is excellent—within walking distance of the beach and several great restaurants, which made getting around very easy. The cleaning lady and all the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. We highly recommend it!

Amazing place, best location ever. 30 second walk to the beach

We had a great stay in Santa Teresa. The house is wonderful, right by the beach and walking distance to the main strip of all different restaurants. Service was great with the house being cleaned/refreshed each day. Would 10/10 recommend.

This house is gorgeous, just what we needed.  1 minute to the beach, the private pool was so nice, we felt safe and well taken care of.  Catalina, our conciegere was super responsive and amazing. She met us, showed us the home, and set us up with an ATV and a boat trip we will never forget.  Having the daily housekeeping, at first, we weren't sure if we needed it, but Aracely was so sweet, and the girls loved the fresh fruit plates she prepared almost every day.  Total perk!  I guess the only downside is that the Banana Beach Club next door is really loud at night (not every night). It was a great place to hang out and have some fun.   Other than that, great location close to lots of restaurants and shops.  Beautiful sunsets.

This property is amazing. The location is 1 minute walk to either restaurants or beach. House feels more like you are staying in a hotel rather than a personal home. We stayed at the property with myself and husband, our two teenage sons (17 and 15) and my elderly parents. It was the perfect space for us all. The location is great for teens and safe for them to walk around on their own. There is a housekeeper daily who is at the house almost all day. She is amazing!! Having her is an absolute bonus to renting this home. There is also a wonderful concierge who is so helpful in booking excursions and reservations. The home is on a small private street which has a private security guard patrolling it all night. We would come back in a heartbeat. Have already sent the link to home to our friends and family.

Best vacation ever, and seriously thanks to this place. It was incredibly clean, the service was amazing, right on the beach and the pool is fantastic. We had the best time, really hope to come back and wouldn't do it any other way!

Lovely!! So sad to leave! Fantastic location, such a premium to not have to cross the busy dusty road to get to the beach. Catalina, the concierge, gave us all details on a silver platter…incredibly helpful! Aracely the housekeeper was simply wonderful!

Loved this place!! Just some steps from the beach, close to plenty of restaurants and stores but still very private. Perfect for groups. The house is extremely comfortable.

Stayed here for my sister’s bachelorette with 8 women and it was AMAZING!! The concierge was so helpful to us in navigating our stay and making sure everything was taken care of. The cleaning staff are wonderful and so friendly. Not to mention being in a private, secure neighborhood steps from the beach access. It was perfect! Thank you so much!!!

Beautiful home! Great location, Eli the housekeeper was sweet and pleasant. She even prepared fruit plates for us. The rooms were beautiful, we felt right at home. Would highly recommended and we will definitely go back.

This house is Amazing and cozy. Close to the beach and the best beach club in Santa Teresa. They have a daily maid for cleaning who was friendly and very helpful with everything you need. I highly recommend this place, definitely one of my favorite places I have ever rented. Five stars in every way!

the house is very charming the cleaning lady is a sunshine the noise from banana beach was intense 2/5 nights (only until 10pm-ish), unpleasant 1/5 nights and silent 2/5 you cant use the washer which is rather strange and cumbersome for the guests check out at 10am while people are on vacation in Costa Rica is too pushy and puts the convenience of the house manager before the one of the client we had informed the concierge that we may want to extend for 2 nights because our dream house was only available few days later but she rented out the house without asking us first. she was totally free to do that, it just would have been great service to ask us, (since they ask you to leave a tip, which we left to the cleaning lady) overall feeling: great house for a group of friends on vacation who want to have fun for a few days. not suited if you are noise sensitive or want maximum convenience while on vacation

Everything was very good but there were certain cleaning details to improve. Many basic cooking utensils. Linens and basic soaps. The use of excessive chlorine to clean so much that I was stained a garment. I had a feeling that the value was not consistent.

Todo muy bien pero habían ciertos detalles de limpieza que mejorar. Muchas utensilios de cocina básicos. Ropa de cama y jabones básicos. El uso del cloro excesivo para limpiar tanto que se me manchó una prenda. Me quedó una sensación que la relación calidad precio no estaba coherente.

We had a fabulous experience staying at Casa Helena! We have never had daily service through Airbnb before and it was an absolute treat! The home and grounds were professionally maintained daily and evenings were monitored by professional security. The home is also easy to access but gated, which was very helpful! There was a safe, covered car port if you rent a car, and it is possible to get into the house without getting wet if you’re visiting during rainy season. The housekeeper made the most beautiful fruit platters for us each morning which made us feel very special! Some prior reviews noted the noise from Banana Beach, but we opted to try for it anyways and we were pleased to find that it wasn’t an issue for us! We had no trouble getting to Montezuma Falls and Tambor Pier from the house. If you’re looking for a cool, luxe experience- book it!

Spectacular home steps off  the sand in the heart of Santa Teresa.  In the middle of it all yet very private quiet and peaceful.

Everything wonderfully thank you for everything

Awesome place, highly recommended. The location is Amazing. We had a few issues but not related to the place itself. I would be back again.

We spent 8 nights at Casa Helena with another family of four (so 4 adults and 4 teenagers in total). We had such a fantastic time. From the moment we booked the house we received regular messages from Emilya and her team and, as it got closer, we were connected with Catalina who proved to be an incredible concierge. All of her local restaurant recommendations were on point (and we are all foodies) and the various activities and rentals she arranged were great. The house itself is phenomenal. Even closer to the beach than we expected. It was so convenient to be able to plan short trips to the beach, knowing we could quickly walk back to the house if we needed something. We found it really convenient to have the Banana Beach Club so close as well. A few slightly loud evenings (not too late) of DJ'ing but overall was fun to have close. The house was also immaculate and was well maintained during our whole stay, with cleaning services from 8am to 3pm each day. Strongly recommend!

Beautiful house clean and comfortable house. Steps from the beach.

This Air BnB was in a beautiful location. Ellie was available during our stay to help us with house keeping and she truly was amazing, along with Cata our concierge￼! However, this house needs a lot of maintenance. The showers constantly get clogged, the bathroom sink handles come off, the toilet in the master bedroom is cracked, extremely small and outdated washer and dryer that we were not permitted to use in our stay. Only allowed for Ellie to wash towels and bedsheets and made it hard on her cause it’s very small loads. No rice maker, stove is rusting and metal is pealing off. Horrible sewer odor Every afternoon in the outdoor pool area. The A/C stopped working twice . BBQ did not work, had to call maintenance to assist again. Gate into the complex was also not working . Stray dogs, cats and raccoons constantly in and out of the property. Overall it’s a beautiful place to stay in and the location is great but serious maintenance is needed.￼

Everything's perfect, highly recommended!

Wow!!! This home is absolutely gorgeous! The decor, the space, the pool, and it’s just steps to the beach. All of it was absolutely wonderful. The host was very responsive to our needs. The housekeeper was super sweet and attentive. I will 100% be coming back to this amazing home.

The house was lovely. Very cute and comfortable. The pool was nice and warm and being able to walk right to the beach was great. The Wi-Fi worked great as well and the housekeeper was there everyday to clean the towels etc (as I had mine with me ). The only thing to note is there is no dishwasher so we were having to clean the dishes! Just to note. Beautiful space and being beside banana beach club there was no noise issue for me or my three young kids as well. Within walking distance of great restaurants. So no need to drive. Be sure to try Pronto! Italian down the street and katana and santori. All amazing!

Beautiful house, close to the sea. A great location

Bellísima casa, cercana al mar. Excelente ubicación

This was probably the most amazing Airbnb I have ever stayed in. The pool was amazing, you can see the ocean from the kitchen and primary bedroom, and there is full time security at night so we felt very safe. The rooms were beautiful and the outdoor area was stunning. We didn't want to leave and I hope to return soon!

My family and I had a wonderful time. The house is nicely designed to accommodate large groups. The location couldn't be better having the beach and really good restaurants within walking distance. The ambiance was just fantastic! Highly recommended!

Unfortunately, the listing said "4 Master suites with 4 King Beds" and this was SUPER important to us as we were 2 couples with children and wanted matching rooms. It was totally inaccurate! There is 1 Master bedroom with a King Bed. The other room had a full size, and then the others had the King/Queen with the daybeds- which we wanted/assumed the kids would have, but we all had to switch rooms partway. Second, I asked multiple times if this was a "very quiet, serene location" as privacy and quiet with kids was most important. Sadly, we arrived to a raving disco which is right next door- we knew this from maps, but we were told zero loud music, which is totally inaccurate. We had 2 of our evenings wrecked as Saturday nights are raging loud rave music and you can't even be outside to enjoy dinner it's so loud or talk. Inside of the house- very small, cracks in walls, bad/no closets space. The outside is amazing and Yarin was incredible to work with and amazing local recs! Loved ST.

If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would! Casa Helena is perfect in every way. First, I’d Ike to thank Catu, the concierge for all her help. Half way to Costa Rica our plan had to turn around and head back to Dallas because of a malfunction… we needed up missing our flight on Costa Rica Green Airways (the last flight of the day is 5 pm). Catu arrange a hotel & driver for us when we arrived in San Jose around 11 pm that night. She was amazing. Once we arrived at the house we’re totally wowed by the beauty of this place. From a gorgeous back garden area with a pool, beach access, comfortable beds, so clean (Janet & Mauricio came every day and did housekeeping and took care of the manicured yard & pool area). Everything you could want or need is in walking distance. Catu, made plans for us to horseback ride on the beach, arranged renting some ATV to go to Montezuma Falls, and arranged a private chef for brunch one day! The whole area was fantastic! We will be back again!

The best rental house we have ever stayed in!

Great house. Great host. Would book again.

Really beautiful property in a stunning location. It was a perfect place for our whole family to stay together for  wedding. Excellent service from Sandra who came to clean every day and Catu the concierge who was on hand to deal with any problems, make bookings etc. Everything we needed was in walking distance. Only point to bear in mind is 4th bedroom is more suited to a single person as the bed is smaller and the bathroom open plan with the bedroom so no privacy. It was no issue for us as we were 7 guests. Also, there is a lack of storage in the main bedroom with zero hanging space for clothes. But otherwise really well equipped property.

I’ve stayed in a lot of airbnbs over the years and you never know whether a place will be better or worse than the listing would make you expect. This place was far better. Steps from the beach, responsive host, extremely well maintained and with an actual daily cleaning staff which is rare even at this price point.

THIS IS THE DREAM HOUSE! honestly the best house that i have stayed. everything was more than what we expected. the house had everything that we needed and even more, Catalina the concierge was super helping in everything that we needed, from transportation to activities, dinner reservation, anything that we wanted she helped us book. The housekeeper was super friendly and nice always kept the place clean and organized. The location of the house is right on the beach which was amazing for us with the kids. The house is close to Banana Beach Restaurant which was amazing because the food was great the live dj sets at sunset where super nice and the kids loved it so it made it truly a super fun experience for all of us. honestly a perfect home in the best location in Santa Teresa. highly recommended to friends, families, anyone truly that want to stay in the best place possible.

We had a great time, the hostess ‘Cata’ that supported us was incredible. She checked us in and helped us with lots of travel details like shuttles, reservations and adventures. The house was well cared for and had a great layout for our group. The only drawback we had was the construction that ran tile saws through the day and had shut down our power a few times, otherwise it was a beautiful vacation. I would highly recommend this home and the staff that supports it.

It is a very comfortable, cozy house with beautiful decoration. Excellent location with a nice ocean view. Both the host, the cleaning girl and the maintenance guy are very attentive and willing to help and with a very good attitude. There is a security guard for the neighborhood. Overall it was a very positive experience.

Es una casa muy cómoda, acogedora, con hermosa decoración. Excelente ubicación con una linda vista al mar. Tanto la anfitriona, como la muchacha de limpieza y el muchacho de mantenimiento muy atentos y dispuestos a ayudar y con muy buena actitud. Hay un guarda de seguridad para el vecindario. En general fue una experiencia muy positiva.

This place is really beautiful! I will come back soon. The location is great, they always are there to help you! Amazing place!

This was the best place I’ve stayed in ST. Location is prime, house was excellent, accommodations and the maid service was top notch. No complaints; if you’re debating staying here, just do it.

We are so grateful for our time in Santa Teresa.  The house and beach access were everything that we expected and more!   Such a great location, centrally located to shops and restaurants but very private and quiet.   The beach below the house was a great location for our family and kids to enjoy, with trees at the edge of the path to catch some shade.   We hope to return next year.

We absolute loved Casa Helena. Location was perfect. Steps away from the beach, lots of restaurants and shops within a few minutes walk in any direction. The pool and outdoor space was well appointed with plenty of places to hang out. Our host was easy to communicate with and set up a wonderful surf lesson for us. We highly recommend Casa Helena and would stay here in a heartbeat next time we return.

This house is perfect. Great location. Safe. Walking distance to almost everything. On the beach but with privacy. Near great bars/restaurants. Good surf right out your front door. Sunsets. Sunsets. Sunsets. We found it so ideal b/c each bedroom has their own bathroom. We had a family with an infant, single folks, and two couples all staying very comfortably. The staff is typical Costa Rican - kind, helpful, great energy.
