Villa Isla Mares, 800 mts to the beach - Houses for Rent in Pinilla, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house and will definitely be back again! The house was clean and properly maintained. Our favorite part was the pool and outdoor grill. The hammock was also a great place to relax. The house is very private and completely fenced in with a remote controlled gate. Our primary goal was to surf every day and the waves/beach at Avellanas did not disappoint. The closest beach access is the Estero trail (river mouth) and was a little tricky. It requires a short wade across the river in chest deep swamp water. If you are not a fan of that, there are two other beach access points a little farther down the road and easy to walk or drive. Avellanas has 3 main surf breaks and they accommodate all skill levels. My favorite was "little Hawaii" which is a very fun right hand break. The beaches are beautiful and locals are very friendly (even in the surf lineup). I highly recommend going to the beach to watch the sunsets at Lola's restaurant!

Wonderful, spacious house, in a beautiful area. I Tina was very helpful and responsive.

Beautiful house, everything is just like the photos, the host is always attentive and responds quickly. we'll go again

Hermosa la casa,todo igual a las fotos, anfitrion siempre pendiente y pronta respuesta volveremos a ir

Great house near Avellanas beach. Host and manager extremely communicative. Good hang out space and bedrooms are all good sizes.

We just had the joy of staying here for spring break along with some close family friends (4 adults, 4 kids). WE HAD THE BEST TIME!! The whole community has such chill and kind vibes. Beach and surfing every day. Delicious food. And incredible support from Alex and Irina (who was in the neighborhood for local support). Plenty of space for all of us. Great kitchen for making some dinners in. Great restaurants close by for a few dinners out. Lunch at Lola’s or Manta daily on the beach. The home was beautiful and comfortable. Great backdrop for our perfect week! Definitely cannot wait to get back. Thank you!!!

We had a great experience staying at Alex’s Airbnb. The place was very well maintained and looked exactly like the photos, which we really appreciated. It was fully stocked with everything we needed, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. The area was quiet and peaceful, which made it perfect for relaxing. Irina, the property manager, was incredibly responsive and available whenever we needed anything, which made the experience even better. We would 100% book this Airbnb again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable stay.

Five star experience. We had stayed at one of Alex‘s places in another city, but this was our first time at this location. The house was exactly as described, beautiful and spacious. It was plenty of room for my family, another family, and my parents. Great for kids and adults alike. Close to Lola’s, which is the can’t miss each side restaurant. Close enough to do day trips to other amazing locations. But there’s no need to look for a better beach than Playa Avellanas. Alex is the consummate host, and his house manager, Irina, was incredibly responsive as well. Five stars all around!

House was clean and safe. The compound was very secure. Well-stocked kitchen with spices and access to indoor and outdoor cooking locations. Access to in-house laundry and detergent available. Great beach towels, linens were soft, beds were comfortable, beach/pool toys available for the kids.

My family and I really liked the house, however I think it is worth mentioning that to find the accommodation you have to go through a gravel street for about 10 minutes, so a high car is recommended. On the other hand, the pool was a bit dirty when we entered the house, but the situation was reported and they resolved it quickly. Irina, the person who takes care of the place, is incredibly attentive and very kind. Very close to the beach and small supermarkets.

Nos gusto mucho la casa a mi familia y a mi, sin embargo creo que es conveniente mencionar que para encontrar el alojamiento se debe pasar por una calle de lastre de aproximadamente 10 minutos, por lo tanto es recomendable un carro alto. Por otra parte, la piscina se encontraba un poco sucia cuando ingresamos a la casa, pero se comentó la situación y nos resolvieron rápido. Irina, la persona que cuida y se encarga del lugar es increíblemente atenta y muy amable. Muy cerca de la playa y de pequeños supermercados.

Wonderful, we would definitely come back!!

Una maravilla, sin duda alguna volveríamos!!

The House was perfect for pre family, 4 adults and 2 kids.
The kitchen is very well stocked.  The furniture is very comfortable and it was convenient to have beach chairs and towels.
The house manager, Irina, was super helpful and responsive.
They are some great restaurants close by.  And a new French bakery is in walking distance, and has yummy pastries and coffee.

The house is amazing, we had such a great time in Avellanas! Every single detail in the house is very nice and the proximity to the beach and other towns is great and convenient. looking forward to come back!

We had a great stay at this modern beachside home. The location is excellent. The house itself is stylish, clean, and well designed, with modern finishes and comfortable spaces throughout. Everything felt thoughtfully set up for guests, and check-in was smooth. It’s a perfect place to relax while still being close to the ocean. We’d happily stay here again.

Excellent! Best beach! Loved our stay - the place was perfect.

WE LOVE this house! It's beautiful, Irina helped us a lot, gave us recommendations and was always attentive to whatever we needed. Can't wait to be back!

AMAMOS esta casa! Es preciosa, Irina nos ayudó montones, nos dio recomendaciones y estuvo siempre pendiente a lo que fuera que necesitáramos. Can’t wait to be back!

Excellent place, very complete, beautiful and close to the beach. Communication with both hosts is very friendly and super easy, we would definitely return :)

Excelente lugar, muy completo, precioso y cerca de la playa. La comunicación con ambos host es muy amigable y súper sencilla, de fijo volveríamos :)

Our family loved the house and location. Lots of things to do around but an amazing place to call home for a few days. Lots of space, great pool, great location. Would be back in a minute!

This is a beautiful home and we enjoyed our stay immensely. High quality fixtures and finishes throughout the house, and a peaceful vibe with lovely decor that made us feel right at home. This was one of the better stocked kitchens in all the rentals we’ve stayed at, which was very much appreciated as we like to cook and ate almost all meals at home (except for SoulShine, which is excellent and shouldn’t be missed). The kids enjoyed the pool area and were in it most of the time we spent at the home. Alex is a great host with excellent communication throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone who doesn’t mind a short drive to the beautiful beaches nearby.

Our extended family stayed here together and we all fell in love with the place! So beautiful and relaxing, and the kids loved the pool. We are already dreaming of going back, and will definitely recommend this home to our friends. A huge thanks to Alex for accommodating our group!

Beautiful house, good location, excellent host

Amazing place amazing host. Incredible location and property a must stay

This is a great place even if you never left the property it's such an enjoyable place to be we have watched the monkeys eat mangoes from the trees the rain in the evening and enjoyed the pool during the day the beach is a 3 minute drive and the home is absolutely amazing wouldn't change a thing.

amazing! love the house and every detail would love to come back

The house is spectacular, it has everything you need.

La casa es espectacular, tiene todo lo que se necesita.

Loved our retreat at Alex's Villa Isla Mares! We had 4 couples and everyone agreed we couldn't have picked a better place to be. Alex and his manager Irina had many suggestions for the area and we're quick to respond if we needed anything or had a question. The house has everything you will need. Plenty of space for parking if you have multiple cars. We enjoyed the pool for many hours and playing cards in the outdoor kitchen area. We enjoyed the somewhat rural area the house is in. You can easily walk to several good restaurants and the beach. I would highly recommend Soul Shine, La Cabone, and Il' Rustica. We were surprised by the quality of these restaurants in the jungle. Playa Avellanas beach is a nice beach, we enjoyed watching the surfers and the sunset in the evening. There is a night market there on Fridays. Tamarindo is close enough for activities and shopping.

We stayed with three families and found the space perfect for our needs. The kids loved the pool and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out. We went to the beach every day and enjoyed cooking in the outdoor kitchen in the evenings. The area is so cool! We tried surfing, ziplining, and releasing baby turtles. The Friday market was another favorite. We loved our trip and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone!

My family of 5 had a wonderful time at Alex's house in Pinilla!  He was always responsive, full of great information and very accommodating. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures and felt like a true getaway. Details like pool toys and beach towels/chairs/cooler showed attention to every detail. We visited many of the locations in the area he recommended and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The property administrator Irina was a true gem-like having your own personal tour guide of the area. I can't say enough good about both her and her husband-their input elevated our trip. Our week ended WAY too soon!

Spent a wonderful week at Alex's with several families. The house was beautiful and spotless; the kitchen was well stocked with amenities; the outdoor kitchen was a wonderful addition and the pizza oven an added bonus!  So close to Avellanas Beach and many great restaurants (especially coffee and pastries!). Irena, the house manager, was so gracious and helpful. She checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed, at all times. If you're looking for surf lessons, she helped arrange that with her son, who was equally as lovely. She sent us many, many other suggestions for the children as well as the adults. Sunset at Avellanas is a must, followed by gelato at the local outdoor shop with the howler monkeys watching from above. I would highly recommend Alex's place.

The house was spacious, nice, clean and had everything we needed. The guys had a great time and the questions were answered quickly by the administration... great!

La casa espaciosa bonita, limpia tenía todo lo que necesitábamos los chicos la  pasaron súper y las dudas atendidas rápidamente por la administración... genial !

Very clean and comfortable place, good described, our host Irina was excellent, very friendly, helpful  and professional

We had the most incredible time at Alex’s place. Alex was a pleasure to communicate with and his caretaker Irina was incredibly thoughtful and helpful. House was exactly what we were hoping for. Loved it and will certainly be back!

Everything was excellent!! Great communication and great place.

Todo excelente!! Gran comunicación y gran lugar.

Alex’s place was nothing short of amazing. Our group of 6 had ample space and were satisfied with the comfort and peace the home brought.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa.  The layout was perfect for our two families. The kitchen was well stocked and the place was very clean. The kids loved the pool and it was just a short drive to beautiful beaches and excellent restaurants. Both Alex and Irina were excellent to communicate with!

Beautiful property. Very private, looked like the pictures. The house was clean and comfy. Alex and Irina were very responsive, friendly and really helpful. Definitely recommend this place.

Alex and Irena were amazing, through every step of the way from pre-planning leading up to check in and for the duration of the stay. Both were very friendly and responsive, and provided great suggestions for local activities and restaurants. The house was immaculate and in a convenient location within 30 minutes of most activities, shopping and more! My family and I had a wonderful time and will most certainly stay as a guest should we return in the future! Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience La Pura Vida!

Thanks Melissa for taking such a good care of our place. Perfect guest! Come back anytime soon. Pura vida

The place was impeccably clean, making it feel like a true home away from home. The well-stocked kitchen was equipped with everything we could possibly need. The thoughtful games provided, which added a delightful touch to our evenings, perfect for our family bonding. The caretaker was incredibly responsive and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool—was absolutely fantastic! It provided the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Overall, I highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a memorable getaway!

Excellent attention from the owner and the administrator, attentive to solve the doubts and needs of the tenants

Excelente atención por parte del dueño y de la administradora, atentos a resolver las dudas y las necesidades de los inquilinos

Place was beautiful! The local host, Irina was FANTASTIC!!! She provided us with local recommendations and was so fast to respond when we needed anything- we really appreciated her!

The house was amazing, we enjoyed every bit of our stay and would recommend to people traveling to the area.

One of the best Airbnbs we have been to, it is super well equipped to prepare your own cooking, very safe and in a perfect location, the design and style of the house is impressive! Irina was super friendly and always attentive to any questions 😀

Alex’s home is a very clean ,comfortable nice stay. Alex is a great host that checks in frequently and gives good recommendations.

The house was amazing, it has everything you can imagine to feel just like home. Close to everything but at the same time away from noises that allowed us to really relax and chill. The owner and the property manager were super friendly and helpful at all times. I’ll definitely recommend the house and I’m certainly looking forward to booking again next year.

We had a wonderful stay at Alex’s listing. Felt very private and secure and photos were accurate.

I loved staying at Alex's place. The service given was outstanding and the house is beautiful and fully equipped. Having a three door refrigerator and a capable dishwasher handy makes life a lot easier for a large group like ours.

This was a fantastic Airbnb for my group of 6 for 8 nights. The home is just as described &pictured on the listings & all amenities, furniture, & rooms are just as pictured. Alex was a great communicator leading up to our stay & provided great recommendations within the area as well as Tamarindo. This house is perfect for couples or friends. Out of my group, there was (1) couple & 5 single friends & it fit us all perfectly! It is definitely a very clean, modern, & chic listing. A couple things that we really liked about this Airbnb is that it wasn't too far from Tamarindo, easy to get an Uber, walkable to the beach and it was enough space for our private chef & massage therapist. The house manager is also very helpful & super nice. She was attentive to all our needs & took care of any issues immediately. If you are looking for a nice, clean place that is close enough to main attractions, but far enough to have peace and tranquility, this is your place.

The place is beautiful, very spacious, great common areas, close to restaurants and Playa Avellanas. We were three families with 3 kids and the house had all we needed. Alex is very responsive and Irina super helpful. I would recommend this place!

Our two week stay at Alex’ house in Avellanas was absolutely enchanting. Seeing the house in real exceeded even the photos online. The attention to detail in the design created an ambiance of serenity and relaxation - simply unparalleled in this area. Moreover, the communication with the hosts Alex, Irina and Cassio was beyond excellent. They were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was nothing short of perfect. Whether it was providing recommendations for local attractions or promptly addressing any questions or concerns, they were always there to assist with warmth and professionalism. Located amidst the natural beauty of Avellanas, the house served as the perfect oasis for unwinding and immersing in the splendor of Guanacaste. In conclusion, our experience in Avellanas was truly unforgettable. My family loved staying at Alex’ house and I cannot recommend his place enough to anyone seeking a rejuvenating retreat in paradise.

Alex was amazing! He had great communication with us throughout the entire trip and provided us with such a beautiful, clean Airbnb! I highly recommend!

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay Renee! Thank you for being our first guest! Pura vida!
