Luxury Villa with Epic Waterslide & Stunning Views - Houses for Rent in Playa Santa Teresa, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Casa Grateful sits high on the hillside overlooking Santa Teresa- incredibly picturesque. You can watch the surfers far below with your morning coffee... or maybe head down to catch the waves yourself. The pool and slide are awesome and there is plenty of room to hang out. We did keep the AC on, but the house can be fully opened (fully screened) as well. As others noted, the gated community driveway is very steep with some turns, but after a couple of up and down trips you do get used to it! Great house- we would stay again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Ryan! We're so happy you and your family enjoyed the views, the pool, and your time at Casa Grateful. It was a pleasure hosting you and we'd love to welcome you back anytime you're ready for another stay in Santa Teresa. Safe travels until then!

We stayed for 5 nights with a group of friends; it was spectacular. We couldn't have imagined that the house would be so nice—high ceilings, wood, a beautiful pool with a view of the entire sea, a spotless kitchen with appliances in perfect condition/almost new, and super comfortable rooms with a view. I really enjoyed these days very much. Recommended from 1/10 10!

Nos quedamos 5 noches con un grupo de amigos, fue espectacular, no nos imaginamos que sería tan linda la casa, techos altos, madera, una piscina preciosa que se ve todo el mar, la cocina impecable con electrodomésticos totalmente en perfecto estado/ casi nuevos, los cuartos super cómodos y con vista. Realmente disfruté muchísimo estos dias. Recomendado del 1/10 10!

Absolutely beautiful we loved saying at Casa Grateful 💕

This by far was one of my favorite stays in Costa Rica. I've been to Santa Teresa a few times but this house was the best. Can't wait to come back and hopefully stay with them. Everything was absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It truly means a lot to us. We’re so happy to hear that your stay was one of your favorites in Costa Rica! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back anytime.

Amazing, fun and relaxing environment we look forward to returning soon !

Thank you for your stay at Casa Grateful. We hope you had a great time and truly enjoyed your experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back.

We had a fabulous family holiday. House was great, comfortable and fabulous views. Concierge service was impeccable.

Dima, thank you for staying at Casa Grateful. We hope you had a wonderful time and would love to host you again.

Daniela was very responsive.  We had some arrival complications and Daniela jumped on it and was very helpful in resolving them.  She really was great.

Everything about this place was incredible. The home was immaculate, spotless from top to bottom, and the design was beautiful and thoughtfully done. The slide was a huge hit with the kids (honestly, with the adults too). It’s rare to find a rental that delivers on both style and fun, but this one nailed it. I genuinely can’t think of a single negative thing to say. Highly recommend.

Words do not describe the beauty of this house. From the moment you enter the gated neighborhood and climb to the top of the mountain your breath will be taken away from the view of the Pacific. Every inch of the house is perfect. The materials that were used are incredible. The house has wood, concrete, bamboo, and lots of glass creating such a cool vibe. So different than any house I have even been in. We had 4 adults and the house truly has 2 master suites and would be perfect for 2 families to share. Santa Teresa was so much fun. We are amazing dinners every single night and we were BLOWN away at how much there was to do. Santa Teresa is truly a hidden gem and worth the trek. No exaggeration, I reached out to Daniela to inquire about coming back next year.

Casa Grateful is the place to be. The house itself is actually nicer than the pictures. The lower level kitchen / living room is beautifully done and the bedrooms upstairs are large, great bedding/furniture, and the view from every room is AMAZING. But there’s more… I don’t think it was mentioned in the post, but there are two people who come to the house daily. One person takes care of outside (cleaning the pool, water slide, grill, grounds, etc.) and one person takes care of the interior (laundry, kitchen, cleaning, etc.). They’re both super nice and do a wonderful job. The host Tania is instantly responsive and can help with anything — booking fishing (we loved), zip lines (loved), and even a doctor when you’ve got a sick kid. We will 100% visit this house again. Just make sure you have a car as the hill up to the house is tough to walk… but this is all worth it when you see the view. It’s 2nd to none.

Ben, thank you for leaving a review of your experience at Casa Grateful. We’re so happy and grateful that your stay exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the place. It was truly a pleasure to host you, and we hope you’ll be back to enjoy Santa Teresa again soon!

Gracias Claudio, estamos felices que disfrutaras de nuestras vacaciones con nosotros!

Casa Grateful was the perfect home for our long weekend in Santa Teresa. It was an easy 30 minute drive from the Cobano airport, right in the heart of Santa Teresa. The house is high up on a hill, so definitely rent ATVs as it’s a brutal walk. The beach was lovely, the house immaculate. And Tania the concierge made our weekend unforgettable, helping us with last minute travel changes, reservations, activities and more! Cannot wait to return for another lovely stay. The waterslide is incredible. Sunsets you’ll never forget.

Charlie, we’re so happy that your stay was everything you hoped for and more, and that you enjoyed everything the house and Santa Teresa have to offer! We can’t wait to host you again soon!

One of a kind home, with scenic view and beautifully designed. All rooms have oceanfront view. Amazing hosts and service. In a quiet closed neighbourhood.

Thank you, Leonardo! We loved hosting you and your family; you were amazing guests! We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

We LOVED Casa Grateful It’s so beautiful, clean, well stocked kitchen, just like the pictures. The kids loved the waterslide. The view is amazing. The concierge service was top notch from arranging transport, to the chef anything we needed. I highly recommend this place.

Kim, we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your vacation with us and that the house and services we offer met your expectations. You were excellent guests, and we look forward to hosting you again.

Everything about Casa Grateful is wonderful!!! Daniela was so easy to work with and handled every little detail with perfection. We had a rough start due to me spraining my ankle on the first day and Tania (house manager) and Cris (the housekeeper) did everything possible to help get medical attention right away. The home  is just magical  and the staff, including Moises the groundskeeper, made it so easy to just relax and enjoy. We couldn't ask for a more spectacular spot for beauty,  delicious food, tons of beach fun and incredibly caring and kind people to make everything as perfect as possible. It's quite a special haven and we definitely will be back. Thanks you to everyone at Casa Grateful!!! We are beyond grateful and appreciate for our time there. Oh and one more thing- the daily visits from the monkeys was such a treat.

Christena, we're absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic time at Casa Grateful! It was truly a pleasure to have you stay with us; you were exceptional guests, and we sincerely can't wait to have you back again soon.

The home and overall experience exceeded expectations. The house sets high above the town with amazing views providing a break from the noise and dust of ST. Tania was super responsive to all requests and helped book a few amazing day trips. Daily cleaning and laundry was a pleasant surprise! Super relaxing and would highly recommend when traveling to Santa Teresa! Can’t wait to book again!

Brandon, we are thrilled that your stay at Grateful House exceeded your expectations and that you had an incredible vacation with your family here. We're delighted that the house staff contributed to making your experience truly memorable. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

The stay was amazing. The concierge was super helpful. The cleaning staff were super respectful and responsible. Would recommend 10/10 times!

Michael, thank you so much! We're thrilled that you enjoyed Casa Grateful and that the staff was a part of making your experience great. We hope to see you again soon.

We’ve visited Santa Teresa many times and this is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed! The house and the view are amazing. The concierge was extremely helpful in setting up airport transportation, atvs and a private chief (highly recommend! The best dinner during our trip!) The maid and groundskeeper were friendly and very attentive to detail. I cannot say enough good things about this house! The slide is SO fun!!

We loved hosting you, and we hope you come back soon. We're thrilled that you enjoyed your vacation with us so much!

Fantastic airbnb. The casa grateful team was exceptional in every way. Would love to stay here again. Hopefully we will get the opportunity. World class sunsets!

Bill, we're happy to hear that you enjoyed the house and that the staff lived up to ensuring you had an excellent experience at Casa Grateful! We would love to host you again, you're always welcome."

THE BEST HOME IN SANTA TERESA! We just finished a week long stay at Casa Grateful and I can truly say this is my favorite Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. We arrived at night and awoke to the most beautiful view of all of Santa Teresa’s coast as well as howler monkeys outside our window! No square foot of the home is without a panoramic view of the beach and beautiful ocean. At night, the sound of the waves crashing lulls you to sleep. The beds are SO comfortable and the linens are cleaned through the week. The location of the home couldn’t be better. It’s a short 5 minute drive to the Main Street of town. The location of the home couldn’t be better. It’s a short 5 minute drive to the Main Street of town. The home is equipped with a housekeeper, maintenance/landscaping, and a concierge to help plan your entire trip. We can’t even began to express the gratitude we have for the week we were able to spend here. Book this place for the best experience in Santa Teresa, you will not regret it!

The view is one of the best in Santa Teresa. The house is well appointed with everything you nees to cook on your own or hire a private chef (Rodrigo was awesome). We enjoyed the pool and watching the sunsets. Cris kept the place spotless each day with fresh towels and she even did our laundry. The only “issues” were the projector TV was out for repairs and we were missing a TV in one of the bedrooms. Dani promptly addressed both concerns. You will be in great hands renting this place!

Casa Grateful was amazing.  The view was excellent, the rooms were large, the beds were comfortable and the pool and outdoor area were the perfect place to hang out after being out in the town and at the beach all day. The staff and hosts were very nice and took care of everything.  The home is a very short drive to restaurants and the beach and is off the main street so it is private and peaceful.  It is in a gated community so we felt safe during our stay.  I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Santa Teresa.
