Being close to the main road means you may hear some ambient noise from nearby restaurants and cafes within walking distance.

Casa Tina - New 3 Min Walk to Beach Home - Houses for Rent in Playa Santa Teresa, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

We stayed at Casa Tina and the experience was fantastic. The house is just five minutes from the beach and is exactly as shown in the photos and the Airbnb description. Gal, the host, was very attentive to us at all times. He has been very flexible with our needs and has always responded almost instantly every time we have asked him a question. Without a doubt, we give them a 10 out of 10. We were very happy and recommend this place, especially for families looking for tranquility, privacy and the possibility of enjoying both the beach and spending time in the house with all the amenities.

Hemos estado alojados en Casa Tina y la experiencia ha sido fantástica. La casa está a solo cinco minutos de la playa y es exactamente como aparece en las fotos y la descripción de Airbnb. Gal, la anfitriona, ha estado muy pendiente de nosotros en todo momento. Ha sido muy flexible con nuestras necesidades y siempre ha respondido prácticamente al instante cada vez que le hemos hecho alguna consulta. Sin duda, le damos un 10 de 10. Hemos quedado muy contentos y recomendamos este alojamiento, especialmente para familias que buscan tranquilidad, intimidad y la posibilidad de disfrutar tanto de la playa como de pasar tiempo en la casa con todas las comodidades.

We had an amazing stay. Host was very responsive and helpful. The location is amazing the only downside being it’s next to a bar so a little noisy on weekend nights. The property looks exactly like the pictures and is very new and clean.

Excellent home, very comfortable and safe. The entrance to the beach is across from the main street, next to some restaurants. Everyone's care is very good. It's my second time in this house and I have no complaints. My favorite place.

Excelente casa, muy cómoda y segura. La entrada a la playa está al frente de la calle principal, a la par de unos restaurantes. La atención de todos es muy buena. Es mi segunda vez en esta casa y no tengo queja. Mi lugar favorito.

Casa Tina was the perfect place for our family's stay in Santa Teresa. We absolutely loved the outdoor living space and the pool. It was our own private oasis. The house is within walking distance of some amazing restaurants and easy access to early morning walks along the beach. The host and house manager were extremely responsive and helpful. They kept the place and pool clean throughout our stay. We loved hearing the live music from the hotel next door! We enjoyed the music in our own private space without having to party with the 20 some crowd! Casa Tina will always have a special place in our family's hearts. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our time spent at Casa Tina in Santa Teresa. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shops. It can get a little loud as it is located directly behind Somos which turns into a club-vibe on weekends with loud music and partying until about midnight. It didn’t bother us, but worth considering if that would be a dealbreaker for you! The house is clean and well stocked and the host is very responsive and on top of things! Overall, it is quiet, peaceful, and private which is exactly what we were looking for. This is our fourth time visiting Santa Teresa and we would definitely stay here again without hesitation. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Always a great experience staying at Casa Tina. The staff is friendly and responsive. House is in a great location close to the beach.

We had a perfect week thanks to the Casa Tina property. It had everything we needed. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the pool is lovely. Plus, communication with the hosts was simple and quick. Pura Vida.

Nous avons passé une semaine parfaite grâce au logement Casa Tina. Il y avait tout ce dont nous avions besoin. La cuisine est complète et la piscine très agréable. De plus, la communication avec les hôtes était simple et rapide. Pura Vida.

We absolutely love this place. Our second time here and definitely not our last!

Very nice house, impeccable and almost new. Located a couple of minutes walk to the beach and restaurants.
We had housekeeping every other day and help with laundry. 
We really enjoyed our stay. Tina and Gal were very proactive in communicating.

Muy linda casa, impecable y casi nueva. Ubicada a un par de minutos caminables a la playa y a restaurantes. Tuvimos servicio de limpieza día por medio y ayuda con la lavandería. Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadía. Tina y Gal fueron muy proactivas en la comunicación.

Casa Tina was a great home base for our 10 day family vacation.  All communication was excellent and everyone was very kind.  The location of the house is a very short walk to the beach and easy for getting to restaurants along the main Santa Teresa street.  The housekeeper comes every second day and can do your laundry for you if you wish.  This house is on a quiet lane way but backs onto Sonos (a restaurant/hotel).  There is one hotel room window that looks down into the pool space, so it’s not completely private.  Sonos also has many live music nights with Thursday being the busiest.  It wasn’t overwhelming or difficult to sleep, but it certainly wasn’t quiet.  Santa Teresa has a young party vibe, so to be expected.  We loved the filtered drinking water out of the tap and having the air conditioners to cool down the bedrooms to sleep.  Would recommend!

The stay at Casa Tina was perfect. It was perfectly equipped with very good taste and all the armchairs in common areas were extremely comfortable. Very good beds and the bathrooms are also very neat. Communication with both Gal, the host, and the staff was smooth and they always resolved our requests immediately with excellent predisposition. Thanks Gal for the great stay we had in Santa Teresa.

La estadía en Casa Tina fue perfecta. Estaba perfectamente equipada con muy buen gusto y todos lo sillones en areas comunes eran sumamente cómodos. Muy buenas camas y los baños también muy prolijos. La comunicación tanto con Gal, la anfitriona, como con el personal fue fluida y siempre resolvieron inmediatamente nuestros pedidos con excelente predisposición. Gracias Gal por la gran estadía que tuvimos en Santa Teresa.

Everything is great, in front of the entrance to the house there is a passage where you can easily reach the beach.

todo super bien, al frente de la entrada de la casa hay un pasadizo donde se llega a la playa fácil.

The location of this home is absolutely perfect and we very much enjoyed the short walk to the beach with our surfboards. There was plenty of space for our entire family and the kids sure enjoyed the pool. The outside table was large and nice for playing family games and the kitchen has everything you need to cook or warm up leftovers. Communication was fantastic, and we were informed very early about potential noise from the restaurant/hotel next-door. We did experience that one evening, but we knew that might be an issue. Overall, a fantastic home!

Beautiful casita & pool. Perfect for 3 surf chicas with all the bathrooms & room to hang bikinis. Awesome they provided lots of towels & had a cleaning service. Loved the outdoor space & open kitchen with lots of options for cooking. Private with room for atvs & boards. Felt safe and close walk to surf break/shops. It was a peaceful & amazing tropical stay with the best waves!

Best location in santa and the architect of this house has an aesthetic that allows you to enjoy the natural surroundings. Incredible pool. Well stocked kitchen. Perfect location.

amazing location and beautiful villa. great communication from the host

Stay here! This is a wonderful home. Plenty of room for everyone. Our family of five stayed here for a week and had the best time! Perfect for us having three teenagers. Beautiful!! Great design, well-equipped, fantastic location-so close to restaurants and the beach. The pool is so lovely; great after a day at the beach. Both Tina and the house manager Gal were so helpful, very responsive, and kind. I recommend rent a quad to get around and Gal can help you with that. I really can’t say enough about Casa Tina! Thank you for a memorable week:) P.S. don’t hesitate to come during the rainy season. We stayed here the first week of August and it was beautiful! Plenty of sunshine and just enough rain to cool off in the late afternoon

Thanks for the great review Shannon!  Green season is our favorite.❤️

Casa Tina is a beautiful home. The property is as-pictured on Airbnb. Tina and her staff, Gal and Deibi, were all incredibly friendly and communicative. The house is truly stunning and it’s tucked back off the main road, but only about 50 yards back so it’s not a far walk to the main road. Walk to the beach was about 1/4 mile or less. Owner was very understanding and accommodating to any concerns we had.

The house is beautiful, great location walking distance to restaurants , bars. Close drive to grocery. Easy close access to beach. Even though it’s located next to hotels , other airbnbs, and restaurants, there was little noise and was overall quiet and peaceful. Some hiccups arose as the house was not ready for us upon arrival, the AC stopped working , and there was a fly/cockroach infestation, but the host quickly resolved every issue (within a couple of hours) and made every effort to make our stay good and comfortable.

Place is beautiful and location is great. 5 minute walk to the beach, less for coffee or food.. Tina and her staff were super attentive and hospitable. overall one of our best vacations ever🙏

Beautiful place, close to everything. Highly recommend

Casa Tina is a beautiful home in a great location, just as it’s described on its page and in other reviews. We did unfortunately have a storm come in in the middle of our stay that brought out cockroaches throughout the home, but we otherwise enjoyed our stay.

Casa Tina was a gem. We had a wonderful vacation with our 3-generation family. We particularly enjoyed the pool and the outdoor facility. Thank you!

Walking in for the first time, the house was exactly like the photos.  There were 6 of us and we never felt crowded, plenty of space to move around and very comfortable.  Whenever we left for the day and come back to the house I felt like I was at home!  We cooked one night and the home had plenty of supplies and containers to store fruit for the day.  At night you can hear some music from next door, but it’s vacation and it didn’t bother us.  Was very surprised that when we went to bed and shit the doors, you could really hear the music. The walk to the beach was easy and close with plenty of places to eat and drink very near by.  Gal, the house manager was very helpful and gave us great instructions and helped me get in touch with a car, ATV, and Ventura for our trip to Tortuga Island.  This was our first trip to Costa Rica and I would say it was the perfect place to start! Pura Vida!

Casa Tina is a very nice rental. We would recommend it and come again.

Fantastic place in a central , walkable location.  Really great.  Host was super responsive and proactive!   I definitely recommend, however, as others have noted it is right next to Somos hotel's pool and restaurant, they had live music on Tuesday and Thursday night, but we didn't mind at all.  Pura Vida!

The house is perfect!!! I'd come back a thousand times! Kitchen, bathrooms, all spectacular! Super cool pool and perfect outdoor shower with hot and cold water! The cleaners and receptionists are a luxury! Spectacular service! Super attentive and ready to help! I highly recommend staying at Casa Tina!! The best of Santa Teresa! A home as if you were in a 5-star hotel 🤩

La casa es perfecta!!! Volvería una y mil veces! Cocina, cuartos baños todos espectaculares! Pileta súper fresca y ducha exterior perfecta con agua fría y caliente! Quienes limpian y te recién son un lujo! Atención Especatcular! Súper atentos y bien predispuestos! Recomiendo mucho alojarse en casa tina!! Lo mejor de santa Teresa! Casa como si estuvieras en hotel 5 estrellas 🤩

Casa tina was the perfect house for our holiday. Private but also close to everything you need. I recomend this house if your going to Santa Terese.

Based on the Airbnb profile we hoped that Casa Tina would be an ideal place for our family get-together. It surpassed all our expectations! The house is spacious, clean with modern amenities, great AC and wifi, and a fantastic pool area. Really 3 minutes walking from one of my all-time favorite beaches, close to a variety of restaurants, yet surprisingly quiet with adequate privacy. Owner, property manager, cleaners, everybody was super responsive and kind. Could not have had a nicer experience. Highly recommended!

Beautiful house, clean and in excellent condition. Owners meeting all of our needs. Home in the heart of Santa Teresa, close to the beach and shops. Only downside: there are several houses for rent around and we had extremely noisy neighbors until late at night

Magnifique maison, propre et en excellent état. Propriétaires répondants à tous nos besoins. Logement au cœur de Santa Teresa, près de la plage et des commerce. Seul bémol : il y a plusieurs maisons à louer autour et nous avions des voisins extrêmement bruyants jusqu a tard le soir

Really beautifull villa near the beach. Top experience. Good communication. Even more beatifull than the foto’s!

Our family stay at Casa Tina could not have been better. The house has everything or needed to rest and spend a pleasant time in this beautiful area of the country, very close to restaurants and shops and super easy and close to access to the beach, the location is excellent. Having pool only for the house definitely a plus. The areas of being very comfortable and spacious and the house has everything you need.  The attention to some requests was immediate. We would definitely come back, highly recommended.

Nuestra estadía en familia en Casa Tina no pudo ser mejor. La casa tiene todo o que se necesita para descansar y pasar un rato agradable en esta zona tan hermosa del país, muy cerca de restaurantes y comercios y súper fácil y cerca el acceso a la playa, la ubicación es excelente. El tener piscina solo para la casa definitivamente un plus. Las zonas de estar muy cómodas y amplias y la casa tiene todo lo que se necesita.  La atención ante algunas solicitudes fue inmediata. Definitivamente volveríamos, súper recomendada.

This place was perfect for us! Tina has thought of everything you might need in a home! So much attention to detail. The house was even better than we expected. So close to everything including the beautiful Santa Teresa beach! Definitely will book again!

Casa Tina is a beautiful home! It was perfect for our family of four. The house is very clean and has everything you need. The cleaning service every two days is a plus and they can also do your laundry. Just remember to tip. I really enjoyed the beautiful kitchen. It had everything we needed to cook meals. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The bathrooms were huge. We swam in the pool every day. The waves were big this past week so it was nice to have a relaxing swim in the pool. My kids really enjoyed it. Great books in the house as well to read. The beach is a short 3 minute walk. My husband surfed before we all woke up and really enjoyed that. Restaurants are just down the street. Yoga, gym, cafes are within a 10 minute walk. Tina is super responsive. Great recommendations. Gal, the host at Casa Tina, was also very responsive. You will not have to think too hard. They think for you :) just ask the question! Will stay here over and over again!

Christine!!  Thanks for the glowing review.  It is so funny that one of the reasons we love our spot is that my husband, Mark, goes out for a sift and then is home in time for breakfast.  The rest of the family only go out when we are well feed and conditions are perfect.  Pura Vida!!!

What a perfect place to stay in Santa Teresa. A special little hideaway to get away from it all and have some peace and serenity, just steps from the main drag and from the main beach. Loved it here! Tina and Gal were excellent hosts. Thank you so much!!

Excellent staff..  The home was as described and was a great base to explore the area.  Tina was a great host

Perfect location, the house is only 3mn from the beach.

We absolutely loved our stay.  The pool was perfect, we loved the hammock, and having meals on the table outside.  The pool was a perfect temperature and was in the sun and shaded at different parts of the day.  The beds were comfortable and air conditioning was great.  Tina's home is ideally located with a short walk to the beach and right off the main street with all of the restaurants and shops.  Tina and her team were extremely responsive and helpful with any issues that came up during our stay.  The house is well stocked with anything you need to cook with, high quality appliances, and plenty of plates, cups, etc.  We have a 3 and 5 year old and our family of 4 was very comfortable in Tina's home.  We stayed in the queen room that is connected to the 2 twin room and didn't use the master bedroom as you need to walk outside to access it.  We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this Airbnb to everyone!

This place was a dream - exactly as the photos showed. Tina and her team have their stick on the ice. They responded quickly  to our every need. We felt so cared for and lucky to have found this unbelievable home. Our month at Casa Tina could not have been any better

Great spot! We enjoyed it very much. I would recommend it to anyone!

Location on point. Lots of cafes and restaurants near by. Gal the manager is great. Communication ++. Was great for our family of 5. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This was an amazing stay at Casa Tina.  We could not have asked for a better Airbnb.  It was beautiful, clean, well equipped with everything, close to the beach and all restaurants.  Tina was so great in responding to all our questions.  She made amazing recommandations for things to do (natural pool at low tide) and for great restaurants at walking distance.  I highly recommend to anyone visiting Santa Teresa.  Thank you so much for everything. And thank you to Gal for checking on us regularly.

The house is beautiful and great for surfing. Its just few minutes to the beach, restaurants etc.

I really liked the location and the place Very clean, it met my expectations. It is very well located to go to the beach and is a bit quieter part. We barely use the car, close to rich restaurants. The truth was great. People enter the house to do grooming in the middle of the day, clean pisicina and do the garden so that they have in consideration.

Me gustó mucho la ubicación y el lugar. Muy limpio agradable cumplió mis expectativas. Queda muy bien ubicacado para ir a la playa y es una parte un poco más tranquila. Casi no usamos el auto, cerca de ricos restaurantes. La verdad todo funcionó super bien. Entran personas a la casa a hacer aseo día por medio, limpiar pisicina y hacer el jardín para que tengan en consideración.

Our Family of 5 (adults) absolutely loved our stay at Casa Tina. 10 days was not enough! It is such a well thought out home. Very comfortable and spacious with a seamless indoor outdoor feel. The location is a perfect walk to the beach & cafes. Tina & Gal are wonderful at communicating and checked in often, to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. We love traveling to Santa Theresa, and this by far is our favorite place to stay. Absolutely best time!!!. Thank you Tina & Friends for sharing this pura vida life with our family. Cheers! Alie & Family

Tina's place is a gem in the heart of Santa Teresa. the proximity to the beach and restaurants makes the place very ideal to live a pura vida lifestyle. the place is very well stocked, clean and designed well for a family. the section of town is clean, has great food options and the beach is spectacular. As Tina notes, the place is close to Somos, so you sometimes hear noise from them, but the proximity is also a bonus given the great food, drink and music. All in all we were very happy and would come back again in a heartbeat.

My family of 5 enjoyed our stay at Casa Tina. Our favorite part was the close proximity to the beach. The kids loved the pool and hearing the howler monkeys in the nearby trees. You can hear the live music at night from the restaurant that is behind the property but we were aware as the listing stated it in the info provided. Santa Teresa is a wonderful town to visit with excellent surfing. Thanks for the great stay!

Thank you for the great review Leah!  We are so happy that you and your family had a great stay.  Pura Vida!

The house was beautiful, comfortable and super fun. The location was wonderful; close to restaurants, walkable town and easy walk to the beach. We had a couple issues while we were there but Tina responded immediately and took care of them promptly. We will definitely visit again!

Beautiful villa, fully equipped and very pleasant and functional. Ideally located in the center of Santa Teresa. Beaches, restaurants and shops within walking distance. Great host welcoming and responsive. We had a wonderful stay. We highly recommend this home and of course our host.

Villa magnifique, entièrement équipée et très agréable et fonctionnelle. Idéalement placée au centre de Santa Teresa. Plages, restaurants et commerces accessibles à pied. Super hôte accueillant et réactif. Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour. Nous recommandons très chaleureusement cette maison et bien sûr, notre hôte.

CasaTina was perfect for our family. It is a beautiful, peaceful, and spacious home in a very convenient location. Gal, Tina and Mark were all very helpful and responsive!! Everything about our stay at CasaTina exceeded our expectations!

My family of 5 stayed at Casa Tina and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a great oasis from a day at the beach or being out in the quaint town.  Tina and Gal were extremely responsive and helpful in providing tips, recommendations, and connecting us to various locals for our excursions. We’ll definitely stay here again the next time we’re in the area.

This place is incredible!  It was even more beautiful than I imagined, was walking distance to everything you'd want, and had great privacy.  The hosts were terrific and always stayed in touch in case I needed something.  I absolutely recommend staying here!

We had a lovely week at Tina’s house, it was very close to the beach. Tina and her on sight assistant were very quick to response to any problems we had. Thanks Tina

Really nice spot, great location, pretty house.

Wonderful location in beautiful Santa Teresa! Easily walkable to the beach, which we did every night for sunset. Perfectly located on the end of the main road so you felt close to everything, while having easy access to drive to Hermosa or Manzanillo. Gal, the property manager, was proactive and extremely helpful. She had a bunch of great suggestions for food and beaches and activities. She always checked in to see how we were doing. She been had fresh fruit waiting for us at check in. We traveled with 3 kids under 5, and the house was set up in a way that ended up being very child-friendly. The pool was wonderful—perfect size and temperature. We had a great time. 100% would stay here again!! The location cannot be beat!

This house completely exceeded our expectations- the pictures truly do not do it justice. It is a beautiful sanctuary. Tina’s place is in a convenient spot, with easy access to everything in Santa Theresa. Even though it’s a busier area, it still felt very secluded and private in the stunning yard. The Sonos in the pool area was a welcome surprise and enabled us to always have a fun vibe going. Gal was always available and a wonderful help. Our family voted and decided this was our favorite house we have ever rented. Getting  my kids to agree on something means it’s obviously a win!

Thank you so much Monica!  I am so happy that you and your family got some quality time in Santa Teresa together!

Casa Tina is in a great location in Playa Santa Teresa, just minutes from the beach and a good selection of cafes / restaurants. The villa is very stylish, well furnished and provided a nice calm oasis away from the bustling main road through Santa Teresa. Tina and Gal were very helpful in providing information and recommendations for our stay and would recommend Casa Tina wholeheartedly.

The home is very nice, spacious, and comfortable – with the beach only a short walk away. We loved hanging out in the area around the pool with all its comforts and the housekeeping service, which includes laundry, was excellent. It is close to all the thriving restaurants and cafes – Somos in particular, which abuts the property. The daily noise of the ongoing construction work on the Somos hotel immediately adjacent is the only irritant to an otherwise entirely wonderful stay.

Casa Tina was perfect for our stay.  It was ideal for two couples and a child.  The layout was great!  It was very clean and well appointed.  We had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.  The pool provided endless entertainment for the little one and the courtyard was perfect for relaxing with a book or having cocktails.  Tina was a great host!  She is very responsive and provided great information and instructions for check-in.  The local folks were very helpful and attentive, too.  They were there to greet us and show us around the house.  And both Tina and Gal were very proactive before and after the stay.  They routinely checked in with us to make sure our stay was comfortable and we had everything we needed.  Tina was also kind enough to let us know there was some construction in the area and there could be noise, but that the contractors would do their best to be respectful and keep the noise at a minimum. It wasn't a problem.  Five star AirBnB, highly recommended!

Thanks Mark!  We would love to have you back anytime!!

Overall, Tina’s home was great! Super close/walking distance to the main drag in Santa Teresa and the beach. The house is very spacious and very comfortable for a long stay. It was nice to be able to walk everywhere. We only rented atvs a couple of times to get to some spots that were further away. Tina and Gal were extremely responsive and were a big help for any issues or questions we had. The house is located right next to a hostel which hosts DJs on the weekend so it can be quite noisy at night. That being said Tina does mention that in her listing. The hostel is also undergoing an expansion so there is quite a bit of construction noise (I would guess it would be completed in Spring 2023). The laundry room is locked off so you have to rely on the cleaners to do your laundry. For us that was twice during our 9 night stay - our preference would be to have the laundry open so we could’ve had the flexibility to do it when we wanted. Overall a great stay with the best hosts I’ve had

Not exaggerating here - my friends and I rented Tina’s place for a month and it was the best airbnb experience I have ever had. Ever. This place is 2 min direct walk to the best surfing and sunset spot in ST beach, next to every good bar/resteraunt/club, and next door to your the BEST sushi spot in town called satori. Tina, Gal, and the workers responded immediately for any questions and genuinely cared about our experience. Surround sound speakers are amazing. Laundry and cleaners are amazing. Shout out Gracie! Each bedroom is larger than it looks in pictures. Santa teresa is great and this house will forever be in my memory. Hope to rent it out again next year.

The location couldn’t be more ideal. Off the beaten path (by 1/2 a block), super easy walk to the beach, best food and shops in the whole area (our opinion) 5 min walk. Could not recommend more, pictures don’t do it justice.

We enjoyed our stay, the house is beautiful and location is perfect. If you are looking for a confortable place, close to the beach and restaurants, this is the place for you ;)

We had a great time at Casa Tina . The home was super clean and centrally located. You could walk to everything and our son who surfed was on the beach in two minutes. Tina was a great host. She and Gal, the property manager responded to every request within minutes and resolved every issue. If you are looking for absolute tranquility, you may want to look for a house on the mountain, there is a lot of construction going on in the area, but if you want to be quickly on the beach and in restaurants, this is the place to be

Wir hatten eine großartige Zeit in Casa Tina . Das Haus war super sauber und zentral gelegen. Man konnte alles zu Fuß erreichen und unser Sohn, der surft war in zwei Minuten am Strand. Tina war eine tolle Gastgeberin. Sie und Gal, die Hausverwalterin haben auf jede Anfrage innerhalb von Minuten geantwortet und haben jedes Problem gelöst. Wer absolute Ruhe sucht, sollte vielleicht ein Haus am Berg suchen, es wird in der Umgebung viel gebaut, aber wer schnell am Strand und in Restaurants sein möchte ist hier absolut richtig.

Our family of 5 loved our time in the beautiful Casa Tina. It is in a perfect location within walking distance of the beach and numerous amazing restaurants. We had a number of rainy days during our visit and the house was perfect for sitting outside and relaxing to the sound of the rain. We hope to return to Casa Tina!

Casa Tina is AMAZING! A phenomenal layout of the home, moments to the beach and an outdoor shower! Gal, the home manager is like having your own concierge! We hope to be soon!

Casa Tina is an amazing house in the best location in Santa Teresa. Beautifully designed and well equipped. Can’t wait to go back.

Beyond expectations in every way! House and location can’t be beat Tina and Gal were amazing! Left a large amount of cash by accident when leaving……got a call from Gal saying here cleaning staff found it! Didn’t even realize it was missing…….first class all the way!!!

Our stay at Casa Tina was absolutely perfect in every way. Beautiful home, incredible location, and an amazing host! I hope to come back to Casa Tina again next year, I miss it already!

Tina’s place was a lovely oasis to retreat to after the bustle of town. Still very close to everything and a quick walk to the beach but felt very private. Our kids loved the pool. The place was clean and communication was easy. We would definitely book here again!

Tina’s Airbnb was an absolute dream to stay in. The location was perfect and the conditions were immaculate. I wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else.  Pura Vida at its finest!

Beautiful property, we had an amazing stay, and could have very comfortably spent more than the 8 nights we had booked. Tina and Gal were friendly and quick to respond to our enquiries, thank you!!!

This house is perfect! it’s been a perfect location, it’s in the perfect layout, Gal and Tina were very professional before and during my stay. You can walk to the beach to surf, lots of good restaurants around. Really was a perfect place to stay  ;)

Casa Tina is a beautiful house, with lovely hydraulic tiles and natural wood details, it has everything you need, a big pool, beautiful flowers, super comfortable furniture and it is in a perfect location, you can park your car, and it is just a few steps  to the beach and to the restaurants and stores. It has a very well equipped kitchen with everything you need. The pool is next to a boutique hotel that it is loud at night, but the glass  doors worked very well diminishing the noises. A couple of times some workers from the same  hotel were cutting some palm  leaves and cleaning, so privacy was an issue at that moment, but  it was just for a few minutes. We had a beautiful time and Gal was great with everything we needed,  this is a beautiful home and We hope to come back soon. Thanks.

This house is gorgeous. With superb design. The kitchen living area and bedrooms are all super functional and perfect for a vacation. The beds are great and the kitchen is fully stocked! The outdoor space is spectacular- like your own mini resort. The location is prime - truly only 2-3mins to many great restaurants and a great part of Santa Teresa Beach. Plus no hills! Easy parking if you rent a car.- my only note would be for a family w young kids- the king bed suite is divided from the rest of the house accessed via the patio so if your kids wake up in the night this is something to note. - Other wise this house is amazing for families . My kids LOVED the pool as it was big enough to actually swim in and there was plenty of lounge space for everyone. House manager was very easy to communicate with and very helpful. We will most certainly be back to Casa Tina.!!

Amazing communication from Tina, beautiful brand new construction in top central location. Incredible value.

Amazing house, the location cannot be understated, it is in the perfect location to access good restaurants, bars, and surfing.

Tina’s home is a wonderful Jungle Paradise getaway. The living area and kitchen are ideal for cooking meals and gathering with friends and family. The outside patio area is perfect for lounging or working a nomadic life. Ideal location for anyone looking to visit Santa Teresa and the Nicoya Peninsula. Would rebook 10/10 times.

Great place, amazing modern design with a beautiful private pool. Walking  distance to the beach and town restaurants. Tina is a very nice and responsive host.

The perfect place to experience Santa Teresa. The house is stunning, even better than the photos in the listing. It's modern, perfectly clean and everything is functioning well. And you can't beat the location: it's right in the center of Santa Teresa, just a few steps away from all the cool restaurants and shops and just a short stroll from the best surf beach in the area (with all the hot surfers). We actually didn't need our car for a whole week. Unfortunately we as well as our host Tina were caught by surprise when some construction work started next door, involving quite a bit of noise, but given the speed and intensity they work there, it should be finished soon. My advise would be to contact Tina and find out about the status. By the way: Tina is a wonderful host. Very quick, communicative and incredibly helpful. You won't find a better one.

We had the best time staying at Casa Tina! The location is perfect -- steps away from the beach and restaurants. We loved the architecture and layout of the house. It was super comfortable for everyone. We traveled here with our 10-month-old baby and the trip was so smooth thanks to Gal and other staff helping out. We would 100% come back and stay here again. Thanks again for everything!

Casa Tina is absolutely perfect! The location is amazing. Common area is amazing: rain or shine. The rooms are very comfortable. Did I say the location is amazing? Santa Teresa is a very special place to visit and being able to walk to everything made it all the more special. I look forward to coming back in the future.

Tina’ s house was our home away from home. It was beautiful and super comfy. We enjoyed the location walking distance from the beach and very close to some bars, shops and a supermarket. We really liked it. Hope to repeat very soon! Thanks Gal and Tina!

Book this house! You will have no regrets. It’s the perfect location and absolute paradise. The beach is close, the pool is great, and you have everything you need. Could not recommend more! All of the staff were attentive and helpful.

Casa Tina is wonderful! It’s just as beautiful, clean and inviting as the photos show. We really enjoyed staying there…it was perfect for me and my family (our kids are teens). Communication with both Tina and the property managers was efficient and easy. We really enjoyed being so close to restaurants, beach and the bustle of ST. The only recommendation I would make is to provide some sort of lightweight blanket for guests. All the beds were made with sheets only, and despite the typical air temperature being in the mid 70s and humid, some people (i.e. my son and myself) get cold easily and like the weight of something more than a sheet (it’s a comfort thing too). Probably not necessary for most people, most of the time, but I do prefer having something more than a sheet. Also, we were there during an unusual cooler storm (and town-wide power outage) so a drawer of candles and flashlights would be good. But overall, Casa Tina is so lovely, and I would stay there again and again and again. It is perfect! :)

Beautiful house! It was perfect for our stay . Incredible customer service! So kind and helpful!

Casa Tina was everything we expected and more. The location was 10/10 - easy access to the beach, cafes, shops and restaurants (all walking distance). Highly recommend renting ATVs to explore the town. The owners and house manager were so wonderful, super responsive and helped us with everything we needed. We were two couples and the house was perfect - the king and queen are basically two master bedrooms. We enjoyed outdoor space a lot and fully stocked kitchen. We look forward to returning!!! Santa Teresa in general is a great place to visit and great for young people!

Tina’s house is a beautiful home that makes for the best stay you could hope for in what turned out to be my favorite part of Santa Teresa. A stone throw away from the beach and all the best coffee shops in town, you feel like you are leading the ultimate surf life ! Gal, the house manager, is always quick in finding solutions or sharing contacts and she is very friendly. The cleaners are efficient and will even do your washing. The pool is a haven of peace. Itcan get a little busier in theevening from monkeys and tourists. But we loved the house.

Book it! You won’t be disappointed. It only takes a second to walk to the beach and plenty of delicious restaurants. Casa Tina is beautiful and has absolutely everything you need. The outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off after the beach or daily adventures. Every room has great AC and ceiling fans. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything and everything you may need. There is even a gated parking spot. Pura Vida!

Tina’s home is even more spectacular in person. The location is a 3 minute walk to the beach and right in the heart of Santa Teresa. The home was extremely clean, cool with AC, and the outdoor space was comfortable and spacious. I can’t wait to come back and stay for longer!

This house was absolutely perfect and exactly as listed. The set up was exactly what you need for a gorgeous (but hot) town like Santa Teresa. There were ACs in every room, a great kitchen for cooking if you choose to stay in, a wonderful lounge area by the pool, and a great outdoor shower that is perfect after a long day of surfing or being at the beach. Gal, the property manager, was very responsive and helpful with any questions or requests we had. She helped us book a fishing trip one day, which was one of the nicest days we had. A cleaning service also came a few times throughout our trip which was a nice touch as well. Overall, would highly recommend this house and would definitely come back and stay again.

You can have high expectations about this place and it won't disappoint it.

Thank you so much Carlos!  Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to have you back!!

The place is even better than the pictures show!!! New, modern and beautiful construction with an amazing pool. Convenient location near the beach, supermarkets and restaurants, yet private, safe and quiet for a perfect getaway. The property is very well taken care of and Gal the landlord was always available to help. We hope to come back in the near future!
