Casa Buena Vista Esterillos (House) - Houses for Rent in Playa Esterillos Oeste, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The property and views are stunning!!! We didn’t luck out with any monkey visits, but there were a few cute coatis wandering around and lots of bird sightings, lizards, and iguanas. The home is as pictured and the ACs in the bedrooms work great. The jacuzzi wasn’t working, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the rest of the pool. I personally liked that they had a yoga mat (and a few other basics), because so many places don’t. It was perfect for sunrise workouts on the deck. The local restaurants were fantastic and the beach is so chill. And our host, Yolanda, was fantastic at communication and suggestions for places to visit. We definitely recommend this house for a great Costa Rican experience.

What a fabulous home, in a lovely spot with gorgeous views and sounds of the sea. The house is beautifully done with lots of attention to detail. We spent time here by the pool and at the local beach. Great food in the local area. Also used as a base to explore national parks and the sights of Costa Rica. Yolanda was a great host and proactively shared recommendations for places to eat and visit. All were good! Our stay exceeded our expectations and Yolanda was the perfect host.

We have just returned from a week’s stay and would likely recommend this beautiful Casa. We have never visited Costa Rica before but after a bit of research on areas that seemed right for our family we can across Casa Buena Vista. From the moment we booked I knew we had made the right decision as Yolanda provided us with so much local knowledge and recommendations that it made the planning of our trip so much more manageable. When we arrived the Villa was even more impressive than the photos. Surrounded by nature (Monkey, Coatis, deer and many species of birds) yet only 5/10 minutes from great beaches, restaurants and mini mart. The location is also a good base to explore slightly further afield like National park and Waterfalls. Yolanda was definitely a super host, always happy to help with recommendations which we would never of found ourselves. She made our first holiday to Costa Rica a memorable one and we would love to return to continue exploring this beautiful country.

Dear Charlotte ! Thank you so much for a wonderful review . I’m pleased to share my knowledge about this beautiful country . Thank you for being amazing guests ! We look forward hosting you or anyone you recommend in the near future !  Pura Vida ….Always !

Home was all we could ask for. great location very quite with wonderful views.

Janusz’s house was extremely amazing. Its natural surroundings and pool were great as we could hardly leave the house. This is my 3rd trip to Costa Rica and it is the most beautiful house ever, we all loved it. I would like to come back here again. Thanks to the host so friendly and responsive and house was very clean as well. Overall great experience!

Thank you so much for your kind comments ! We look forward hosting you again ! PURA vida !

Excellent house, a complete beauty. Lots of spaces to share and each with lovely environments. We had a great vacation and the main thing is that my loved ones were delighted and had a lot of fun.

Excelente casa, una belleza completa. Muchos espacios para compartir y cada uno de ellos con entornos encantadores. Pasamos unas excelentes vacaciones y lo principal es que mis seres queridos quedaron encantados y se divirtieron mucho.

We would absolutely recommend this property and stay here again! The layout for the house was perfect for gathering both indoors and out with a large well stocked kitchen for preparing meals at home. The feature area is of course the large and beautiful outdoor space, we really enjoyed lounging by the pool and swimming every day! There is no AC in the central area of the house and it does get really hot even with fans/windows open, especially in the morning hours. However, the bedrooms had excellent AC so we were able to sleep very comfortably at night (though if you like a dark room I would recommend bringing a sleep mask as there are sheer curtains in the primary bedroom). The Esterillos area felt secluded and private but main roadway could take you to Quepos in less than an hour. We ended up spending a lot of time in Playa Hermosa, great boogie boarding and restaurants in that area and in Esterillos! Yolanda is THE BEST HOST - she will make sure you have a great time!

Staying at Casa Yola was an amazing experience! Yolanda was very attentive and helpful with recommendations for eating out and adventures. Would highly recommend staying at her place to anyone visiting the area. It’s a quiet retreat a short distance to the best beach village in Costa Rica!! We will return!!

Pictures cannot capture the beauty of this property. It is an incredibly gorgeous and peaceful place. Yolanda was a fantastic host! She shared so much information on restaurants and activities, she was a wealth of knowledge. Watching the waves crash in the distance sitting by the pool was magical. There are parrots that fly over head two by two every evening and was something we didn’t want to miss. The cutest monkey visited trees on the property and were fun to watch. We feel blessed we found Yolanda and her gorgeous place. We cannot wait to come back!

The house is very nice and Yolanda took great care of us, even if not personally present, and provided us with tips and recommendations.

Das Haus ist sehr schön und Yolanda hat sich, wenn auch nicht persönlich anwesend, sehr gekümmert und uns mit Tipps und Empfehlungen versorgt.

The easiest way to describe Yolanda's house is to say 'it was PERFECT'! It was awesome and much much better than anything we could imagine. Location, architecture, pool, interior design - everything was just amazing. John, Yolanda, this trip was incredible because of you. Thank you, guys!

Yolanda and John were wonderful, helpful, communicative and generous hosts! The house, pool, view, animal sightings and proximity to the beach were top notch. Definitely very high recommendation for this place. Thanks for having us.

Very nice and clean , located in the most beautiful views, you can see monkeys in the afternoon to take pictures.

Yolanda is a super host, the communication is on point and very informative, useful towards the surroundings of this place. Someone is always available to help on site if inquired. This is must see place, Highly recommend!

Yolanda was great, what a wonderful host. She gave us all the recommendations for things to do locally, we had a wonderful trip. Four of us stayed at the house in two different rooms. The jacuzzi didnt work, which was a bummer since we were hoping go use it, but aside from that the house was beautiful and Yolanda was amazing!

This house is truly amazing!!  Great views, pool, outdoor seating area, kitchen, family room and bedrooms.  Everything that dreams are made of can be found here and Yolanda is amazing with communication and travel tips.  We will definitely be back!!

Absolutely gorgeous home in a perfect location! Yolanda was extremely helpful and was always available if we had questions. She recommended numerous places to eat and areas to explore that were spot on! Can't say enough about this beautiful home and wonderful host! We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing experience at Yolanda's place. The location was amazing, the place was immaculately clean and she's the best host ever. Without her, we wouldn't have had such an amazing experience. She made some great recommendations for us and was always checking in. I really recommend staying here for an unforgettable Costa Rican getaway.

The view is spectacular. It is a perfect place to rest, it has everything to be comfortable and Yolanda is very attentive.

La vista es espectacular. Es un lugar Perfecto para descansar, tiene todo para estar cómodos y Yolanda es muy atenta.

This special villa/home gets five stars from me and my family. It was gorgeous, large, and the pool was a welcome sight on some of those very hot days. We went at the end of the rainy season, start of summer (December in CR), so the days did get very hot-close to 90. The outdoor area, pool, hot tub, outdoor showers - it was amazing! You wake up to the sunrise and sounds of the most amazing birds you’ve ever heard. There are two air conditioning units in the home - one in the top master bedroom and one in the smaller lower bedroom. Make sure you keep the windows open throughout to keep the air circulating. We brought food and spices and cooked throughout the week with all the fresh produce. We were about 25-30 minutes away from Jaco, an hour and 44 minutes from the airport in San Jose, and 45 minutes from Carera National Forest. The home is very secured, secluded and safe. Yolanda was communicative and went over and above to ensure we had a pleasant vacation. From her tips on restaurants to adventures around the area- she was a wealth of knowledge and kindness. Couple tips to keep in mind - because we are in the jungle, it’s possible the internet will be intermittent— a solution is to purchase a wifi booster beforehand. However, it’s nice to be unplugged and off the grid! Will definitely come back to this villa the next time we are in CR! Pura Vida!

This place is amazing. We had a particular expectation about the place and the experience we wanted to enjoy. Yolanda and her place was able to meet our expectations and we truly enjoyed a wonderful time. There is plenty of room and having the place to ourselves was truly refreshing. beautiful house with all the amenities of a resort. Can't recommend this place highly enough. You will be truly impressed with this place and the people. Thank you John and Yolanda!!!

Yolanda's Casa was the perfect location for our first trip to CR. It was convenient & easy to find, yet secluded, private, and safe. The views and sounds of the surf off in the distance were breathtaking. The local beach town is only a couple of minutes away and the food was very good everywhere we tried. We enjoyed watching the Scarlet Macaws that were there daily and even saw a Sloth one afternoon. We can't wait to return and see more of CR.

Yolanda's home is simply amazing. It's not only beautiful and comfortable, but it is ideally located. Perched on top of a hill with amazing views, it is somewhat isolated and private but also close to fun experiences and adventures. Although we arrived at the house close to midnight, we were stunned at the beauty of the home and the property -- even though we only saw a small fraction of our surroundings in the dark of night. We were also surprised and grateful to find a huge bowl of fresh local fruit John had left us on the kitchen table, which we quickly devoured after our long day of travel. We had to pinch ourselves after waking up at Casa Buena Vista the following morning. Better than we ever expected! We loved having our own private pool, but also made trips to the beach every day (5 minute drive), went to Jaco (15 minute drive) for surfing lessons and drove down to Manuel Antonio (1 hour drive) to venture through the park and relax on a "secret beach." Yolanda and John made sure we were well taken care of the entire time we were there and offered great recommendations for local restaurants (Los Almendros and Chiringuito) and excursions (Raffa's monkey tours). The kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessary appliances (coffee, blender, toaster, etc.) and kitchen gadgets, which also allowed us to cook some delicious meals at home. The bottled water and propane grill were bonuses!  Everything in the house was in working order and clean. We would definitely stay in this lovely home again.

Beautiful house!!! Perfect location in Esterillos. Yolanda and John are great hosts!!! Had a lovely time with my family

Casa Bella Vista is everything a family or group of friends might want to have a wonderful vacation. The place is incredibly beautiful, its green areas well kept and the house impeccable. A wonderful view and a large pool where we were all able to enjoy. Definitely a place I would want to return to. Many thanks Yolanda and John are definitely superhosts.  Major and Jonathan were very friendly and always treated us like the first-class Airbnb it is.

Casa Bella Vista es todo lo que una familia o grupo de amig@s puede desear para pasar unas vacaciones maravillosas. El lugar es increíblemente bello, sus zonas verdes bien cuidadas y la casa impecable. Una vista maravillosa y una piscina grande donde todos pudimos disfrutar. Sin duda un lugar donde desearía volver. Muchas gracias Yolanda y John  definitivamente son superanfitriones.  Minor y Jonathan muy amables y en todo momento nos atendieron como el airbn de primera que es.

This place was heaven! Yolanda also made our trip with so much help throughout the trip. Could not speak more highly of this place and Yolanda!

We just landed home after spending a week at Casa Buena Vista. If I could give Yolanda and her home 10 stars I would. Everything about our trip was spectacular. This place is absolutely gorgeous with the most beautifully landscaped views. Tons of life all around and bird serenades on the property. Photos could never do this place justice, it’s paradise. What made this place even more special was our amazing host Yolanda. She stayed in constant communication with us and not only provided us with everything we could possibly have needed but helped us plan the most memorable trip. She gave us all the best things to do and where to eat with the best food and views. She went above and beyond. She really cares about your time in Costa Rica. We took her up on every recommendation and it’s because of her that made our trip so special. Not one thing she recommended let us down but by far her best recommendation was Rafa “Father of the Monkeys” DO NOT pass up on this tour. It was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. I could go on and on but I’ll end it with that we are already planning on when we can return. We will definitely be back soon! Thanks again Yolanda!!

This property is incredible! The house is gorgeous and stocked with everything you'll need to be comfortable. The views from the living space and pool are fantastic, and the patio is a wonderful place to read, eat, relax or stargaze. The location is superb. Close enough for quick trips to Jaco and minutes from a perfectly charming beach town. A relaxation dream! Yolanda and John are wonderful hosts and we're super helpful with local tips. We plan to return as often as possible!! Thank you, Yolanda and John!

Outstanding!!  The house is up on a hill and private.  It has a gorgeous view down to the little town of Esterillos, where there is a surprisingly good restaurant.  The house is spacious and beautifully decorated.  The pool, gazebo, outdoor dining area and grill were just fabulous.  It's a fantastically private location but close to stores and anything you may need.  And Yolanda is an outstanding and wonderful host.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Our experience at Yolanda's place was truly wonderful. The house is gorgeous, the location is excellent - five minutes drive to the charming small village of Esterillos Oeste and its beautiful beach where you can walk and swim for hours, close enough to Jaco if you enjoy shopping and restaurants/bars. The terrace is splendid, overlooking the jungle with various spots to eat and relax at any time of the day, and plenty of wildlife to observe. The view extends to the beaches south in the distance, and the house has a real pool where you can swim and refresh. What made our stay really special and unique is Yolanda's thoughtful attention. At all times she made sure that we were as comfortable as we could, and that we had the best experience possible. She is passionate about her love of Costa Rica, and gave us numerous tips that made our trip the best family trip we ever had with our grown up children. We have rented a number of Airbnb and VRBO homes over the years all over the world, and Yolanda is by far the best hostess we ever encountered. We will return for sure!

A beautiful house, it was impeccable, with everything you need to have a great stay

Una casa bellísima, se encontraba impecable, con todo lo necesario para pasar una excelente estancia

Yolanda and John’s house is a gem in the south area close to San Jose. The access is easy and convenient, and their hospitality and quick answers make it easier to solve any doubts and make the arrangements for the trip. My family is myself, my husband and our 2 dogs and the 4 of us took the most out of our stay. We felt at home enjoying the warm weather, the cosy house and the breathtaking view and open spaces for the “girls”. The house is very well equipped so it’s easy to feel welcomed and comfortable during the stay. The pool is clear and has an amazing view to enjoy, including macaws flying over our heads. Little monkeys and raccoons came and visit as well, It’s was a true delight. We loved staying at the house and would definitely come back again in the future.

Thank you Roberta. For you wonderful review! It was a pleasure having you stay at Casa Buena vista , we would love to see you came back again , soon ! Thank you !

If 10 stars were an option, we would rate Yolanda and John's place a 10. It's hard to find words to express the experience we had. From the very onset of booking, through our travels and stay, they were incredibly kind and giving and generous with suggestions and thoughts of what to do/where to go, and with opening their beautiful home for us to use during our stay. During our stay, the country went into 'lock down' due to the pandemic and the border was closed to incoming visitors. While there was an almost eeriness to our travels (frequently the only people anywhere we went), and everything started closing (all parks, beaches and most restaurants and activities), we still found the amazing magic of being at this house on this hill top overlooking the jungle and the ocean, listening to the sounds of all the life around us and being humbled by the astonishing universe we experienced overnight when the sun set. As for the house, it was immaculately clean and beautifully appointed. Everything you could possible need was available. Yolanda has created a space that is both grand and cozy--you almost don't know where you want to sit and enjoy next! I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that this is the restorative retreat that you owe yourself. And the kindness of Yolanda and John become a highlight to a country and a location that are second to none. We are already planning our next visit when the world calms down a bit. Until then, the memories of this trip will be our inspiration for the likely tough days ahead. Thank you Yolanda and John for allowing us to experience your dream!

Yolanda is a great host. She has great attention to details and her hospitality shows how much she cares and enjoys being a host.  From the way the house was made available to us to her interest in taking us to the town and introduce us to local people and business she knew would make a difference in our stay. Yolanda showed us how much knowledge she has about the best getaways there are nearby. A great Ambassador for Costa Rica`s hidden gems. The house has a great location, from which one can overlook the ocean, the coast, the sunrise, the jungle... We loved how comfortable it is for 5 - 6 people, and the decoration is outstanding. Everything worked fine. We can’t wait to be back. Thank you Yolanda!
