Casa Masha | Dreamy house w/pool & AC - Houses for Rent in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limón, Costa Rica

Our family enjoyed a wonderful vacation at Casa Masha. The property has beautiful gardens and the pool was refreshing on a hot afternoon.  We enjoyed starting our day with coffee while listing to the birds.  Would definitely stay again!

It was a real pleasure to stay in Casa Masha. We felt like home from the first minute.

This house is truly a wonder. We stayed here with our 3 kids and absolutely loved every moment. It is not just a place to sleep, it is an experience. Some Airbnb homes feel like they were built or optimized only for hosting, but this house feels different. You can tell it was built with love, care, and vision by the owner to create something truly one of a kind. The house is spacious, beautiful, and full of special areas to relax, gather, and enjoy. There is so much room, both inside and outside, and every part of the home feels thoughtful and high quality. The photos are very accurate and really do represent how beautiful the house and surroundings are. The team managing the home was also excellent. They were always responsive, took care of any request quickly, and made us feel supported throughout our stay. It is hard to express how special it was to spend a week in this house. Everything about it felt peaceful, comfortable, and memorable. We are very grateful for the experience

This private retreat was just what my family of six needed. Close enough to the beach. Would definitely return.

I was on vacation with my girlfriends. We had a great time! The house was beautiful. Very spacious and clean. Loved the hammock on the second level 😍 the few times it rained, I just laid there. We were able to cook and grill. The home was clean. Area was quiet and peaceful. Host was very quick to respond to any questions or requests. The pool guy Frank, was friendly and very kind. He helped us change a flat tire on our car. The house was more than we expected. I have already shared the Airbnb link with friends that loved my pictures from the home. The pool was perfect. Private. We felt safe in the area. We were within driving distance of many excellent restaurants, beach clubs, excursions and beaches.  Highly recommend and would stay here again!

Just amazing place to stay! One of the best Airbnb we have ever tried. We had the best 4 days here with our to kids. The surroundings, The privacy, the, the pool, beautiful architecture. The villa is located in a quiet place, close to the beach in few minutes walk. We saw monkeys around the villa and so many birds. This place is so peacefull. We wanna come back some day to this amazing place.

Casa Masha was a wonderful stay. The house feels surprisingly spacious for a 2-bedroom — clearly designed with openness in mind rather than squeezing in every last square meter, which made it feel like a true home rather than a rental. The upper open-air living and kitchen area is a highlight: bright and breezy in the mornings, and pleasant in the evenings too — just come prepared with mosquito repellent as dusk brings the usual tropical visitors. The hosts were attentive and responsive throughout — communication was seamless from start to finish.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The house  really great, and they are great hosts. Definitely recommend to stay here.

The house was beautiful, as shown in the photos. It is a very quiet place and my family and I had a great time. Everything was impeccable: cleanliness, order and everything you need to have a comfortable vacation. In addition, we found the style of the house super comfortable, with the rooms downstairs and the kitchen, dining room and the rest area upstairs, that made the stay even more practical and pleasant. The house is exquisite. We would definitely love to come back. Highly recommended!

La casa estuvo preciosa, tal cual como se muestra en las fotos. Es un lugar muy tranquilo y mi familia y yo la pasamos súper bien. Todo estaba impecable: limpieza, orden y con todo lo necesario para pasar unas vacaciones cómodas. Además, nos pareció súper cómodo el estilo de la casa, con los cuartos abajo y arriba la cocina, comedor y la zona de descanso, eso hizo la estadía aún más práctica y agradable. La casa es exquisita. Sin duda nos encantaría volver. ¡Súper recomendado!

Casa Masha lives up to its photos and its description!  Truly a little piece of paradise in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.  Mariana is a consummate host, helpful and friendly.  The house was clean and well-organized, with everything we needed for a ten day stay.  The location is amazing - we spent quiet mornings watching so many different species of tropical birds, and listening to monkeys and other wildlife in the trees in the distance.  The house is a short walk from the black sand beach, which we had largely to ourselves - it could not have been more perfect!  Getting in to town is easy via car or bike, and there you will find a vibrant scene at all times of the day with plenty of restaurants and things to do.  Several other beaches (Cocles, Punta Uva) are just a short car ride away.

Excellent communication from the host. The place is impeccable and very beautiful.

Excelente comunicación del host. El lugar impecable y muy hermoso.

I travelled with my 3 young kids (13,9 and 5) and husband. We had a wonderful 3 days in this wonderful house. The house is huge and full of very thoughtful details. The location is great for walking to Playa Negra with a small corner shop and small coffee place within walking distance.
Be aware that there is no washing machine at disposal of guests which, when travelling with kids in a warm country, would be a welcome addition.
Would recommend for a relaxing family time!

Beautiful place to stay close to Playa Negra. We felt right at home in this place. The hosts always responded quickly and helpfully. Thank you for the stay!

Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft in der Nähe der Playa Negra. Wir haben uns in dieser Unterkunft wie zuhause gefühlt. Die Gastgeber haben immer schnell und hilfreich geantwortet. Vielen Dank für den Aufenthalt!

We had a great visit. The house was clean and very private with beautiful gardens. The beaches were lovely with beautiful blue water. We got to do a lot of snorkeling. Kids had so much fun playing in the pool at night with the fun lights. We also saw several toucans from the balcony.

We had the most amazing time in this villa. It is absolutely beautiful, even better than the photos! Huge open space. We spent so much time in the garden and swimming pool! Slightly further out from Puerto Viejo which wasn’t a problem as we had a car and meant it was very peaceful. Hosts were communicative and helpful  and respectful of our privacy, checking whether we needed the vila cleaned and towels replacing. Can’t recommend highly enough!

My family and I had a wondeful stay at this beautiful and peaceful home. The grounds are amazing and so much attention to detail was placed. There is a small market a few blocks down which made it easy to go pick up any food items. FYI there is no generator so if the power is down you will have to wait like everyone else, we had a couple of instances of this but worked around it. Also some airbnbs have plenty of kitchen condiments which this home didnt, so if you plan to cook, bring your spices! All said, beautiful location with close access to beautiful beaches and good restaurants

Excellent stay, house, garden and pool very clean and very well equipped house. We loved everything.

Excelente estadía, casa, jardín y piscina muy limpias y casa muy bien equipada. Nos encantó todo.

Really loved this beautiful house!!  It is amazing.  Private, quiet and a great location for the beaches and town of Limon.  The kitchen is amazing and the open air living area was so nice and peaceful in the morning and evening.  Pool and gardens were amazing.  Big bedrooms and bathrooms.  Everything we needed and excellent communication.  Thank you!

Lovely place, secured, lots of space on both floors, comfy beds, good AC, cozy atmosphere, nice interior and responsive hosts.

I cannot say enough positive things about this house. The attention to detail inside and outside was incredible. I felt like we were in a private spa surrounded by birds and butterflies, stunning landscaping and nature. Everything in this house works. The pool is beautiful. The proximity to the beach and to town are both huge pluses. Mariana is the perfect host, super helpful and communicative. This truly is a very special place: an oasis. I’m going to recommend it to everyone I know. If you want to spoil yourself, your friends, or your family, book Casa Masha.

beautiful place and we would absolutely rent again!

Truly a magical stay.  The openness of the upper level allowed us to experience the outdoors & the beautiful sounds of nature while still feeling very private.  The house was well stocked with everything we needed.

GREAT house!!! Huge, open spaces. Beautiful exterior with lush landscaping and a great pool. Perfect house with a lot of character. Big kitchen, perfect to host dinner for a large group and with all the things you need to cook. Overall fantastic experience! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. And Mariana is the best host! Easy to communicate with, very flexible with requests, and she put this together for our group on short notice!

We've rarely seen anything so special. An incredible house and the contact with Mariana was always very friendly. We'd come back any time. It's perfect!!

Etwas so besonderes haben wir selten gesehen. Ein unglaubliches Haus und der Kontakt mit Mariana war immer sehr freundlich. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Es ist perfekt!!

Amazing communication with Mary our host! And what about the house, breathtaking! One of the best Airbnbs in all 35 countries I've visited. Thank you!

Incroyable communication avec Mary notre hôte ! Et que dire de la maison, époustouflant ! L’un des meilleurs Airbnb de tous les 35 pays que j’ai visité. Merci !

This house was just fantastically beautiful and impressed us with an absolute wow factor as soon as we entered the premises! The two-story design, especially the open upper area, allowed us to experience nature up close – a unique atmosphere that we very much enjoyed. Another highlight was the pool, which was great fun not only for our children but also for us adults. Here we could relax, splash around and fully enjoy the tropical surroundings. The nearby beach, which is almost within walking distance, was of course also a big plus and rounded off the experience perfectly. The house was fully equipped, we really lacked nothing. We had a wonderful time as a family and would recommend this place at any time. A big thank you to the hosts!

Dieses Haus war einfach traumhaft schön und hat uns schon beim Betreten des Geländes mit einem absoluten Wow-Faktor begeistert! Das zweistöckige Design, insbesondere der offene obere Bereich, ließ uns die Natur hautnah erleben – eine einzigartige Atmosphäre, die wir sehr genossen haben. Ein weiteres Highlight war der Pool, der nicht nur unseren Kindern, sondern auch uns Erwachsenen großen Spaß gemacht hat. Hier konnten wir entspannen, planschen und die tropische Umgebung in vollen Zügen genießen. Der nahegelegene Strand, der fast fußläufig erreichbar ist, war natürlich ebenfalls ein großes Plus und rundete das Erlebnis perfekt ab. Das Haus war voll ausgestattet, es fehlte uns wirklich an nichts. Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit als Familie und würden diese Unterkunft jederzeit weiterempfehlen. Ein großes Dankeschön an die Gastgeber!

If you are searching for the perfect vacation home for your trip to Puerto Viejo, stop looking and just book this one. Everything about the house is perfect! Its proximity to Playa Negra is exceptional. A very quick (and beautiful!) walk and you are at the beach, and it's a stunner. Also very few people, at least during our stay. You are basically sleeping in the jungle but right next to the beach and only minutes from downtown Puerto Viejo. A few more minutes and you are in Punta Uva, Manzanillo, and Cahuita; we loved them all - but Casa Masha was our favorite part about our stay in Puerto Viejo. The bedrooms are perfect: spacious, clean, and stylish - but our favorite part was the open, airy, and expansive upstairs. With beautiful views and so many places to relax with the jungle breeze and birds, it was an amazing place for my wife, son, and I to spend time together. The pool was a great place to relax as well. Mariana is an amazing host - super responsive and helpful! Book it!

I cannot overstate how awesome this house was. The house was so cool we spent an hour one night just talking about how we would build this exact house if given the option. The rooms are massive. The beds are comfortable. The air conditioning and fans are excellent. The pool with a waterfall was so peaceful to listen to in the evenings. The GARDEN was beautiful. Yes. We all loved it. 10/10. 5 stars. No notes.

Great stay-if we ever come back we would love to stay again!

This was our second trip to Puerto Viejo and it will not be our last. The house was amazing and we would definitely rent it again!

The house is very beautiful, it is even more beautiful than the photos! My kids commented as we entered the house why we didn't rent the house for our entire vacation in Costa Rica. We felt very comfortable. We got very helpful tips about food and beautiful beaches.

Casa Masha is even better than the photos! We felt like we walked into a beautiful resort. The landscaping and pool were pristine and the inside was immaculate. The art and woodwork were beautiful. Mariana was so responsive and helpful. She even left fresh fruit and bottled water for us!

We had a WONDERFUL stay here! The house is absolutely gorgeous, photos do not do it justice. A great location - a little outside of the town so it is quiet and private, but there is a small convenience store and hotel restaurant nearby that are easily walkable. If you are planning to go in to town, you will likely need some kind of transportation (we had a car, but there are many bikes and scooters for rent nearby and would absolutely work for this location). The wifi is good and strong, though the location is remote so sometimes you are up against the elements (rain, etc). All in all, very highly recommended! We would go back in a heartbeat.

We totally loved it.  We stayed with our 4 kids (16, 14, 12, 9).  A few things to know:  it helps to have a car, though it wouldn't be absolutely essential, you could not feasibly grocery shop (for example) on foot.  Lots of places to rent bikes in town, but we didn't do this so can't speak to it.  Lots to do--Jaguar rescue was great (20 minute drive), surf lessons easy to book right on the beach opposite end of town, Playa Negra is a 7-ish minute walk and SO SO beautiful--TOTALLY private, amazing!  Cahuita (20 minute drive in opposite direction) national park was fantastic, beautiful (can book snorkeling the day of).  Ziplines with Nativo was awesome--about a 30 minute drive.  The whole thing was totally fantastic.  We stayed for two weeks and everyone LOVED it.

Our stay was wonderful! Very peaceful place with all the amenities. You could hear the monkeys on the trees, the house is located within a very short walk to the beach. We had a very nice and peaceful time. The host Mariana was always friendly and very responsive.

The house are beautiful and exactly as described Marianna was very responsive and took care of everything! The pool was dreamy Only the construction site next door was noisy while we wanted to rest by the pool. I can only recommend it! 😊

Das Haus ist wunderschön und genau wie beschrieben. Marianna war sehr reaktionsschnell und hat sich um alles gekümmert! Der Pool war traumhaft. Einzig die Baustelle nebenan war erwas laut währenddem wir uns am Pool ausruhen wollten. Kann die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen! 😊

Thank you for your feedback Claudia! I'm glad you enjoy your stay despite the construction work that was happening in the neighborhood. It was a pleasure to host you and your family!

Beautiful and very tastefully decorated, even better than in the pictures. The garden is also beautiful and you can just spend the whole day at home by the pool.

Wunderschön und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, noch besser als auf den Bildern. Der Garten ist auch wunderschön und man kann gut einfach mal den ganzen Tag zuhause am Pool verbringen.

Mariana's home is the perfect place to rest. Despite being close to the beach you don't want to go out! You have everything you need. We hope to be back soon

La casa de Mariana es el lugar perfecto para descansar. A pesar de estar cerca de la playa no quieres salir! Tienes todo lo que necesitas. Esperamos regresar pronto

Lovely house, great design. Very comfortable. Only improvements would be a washer and dryer, as it’s really hard to get clothes clean and dry in that humidity, without them. And the house is so big, there is plenty of space for them. You do get bugs and mosquitoes in the open top floor in the evenings. But keep the doors closed downstairs to keep them from the bedrooms. Nice stay, thank you.

The house was amazing and more beautiful in person. She was friendly and very clear instructions. Definitely worth it.

What an exceptional home! Rarely is a place better than expected, my dream home. Fantastic location to town  and stunning open concept design. Would 100 percent return here.

This was the most incredible place I have ever stayed and would give it 10 stars if I could!! Mariana provides a thorough and clear guide and was super responsive and patient. This was the last airbnb on our trip and the one I was most excited for.  It is bigger and more beautiful than the pictures could ever show and I would have done anything not to leave. Every inch of this space both indoors and outdoors is luxurious and I was in awe from the moment we got there until the moment we left! Private beach is also incredible and we hardly saw any other people. Beds are sturdy, huge, and super comfortable. Air conditioners in the bedrooms work so well to make the entire room cold. The open layout made us wonder what the bug situation would be like but it was 100x better than we expected and hardly dealt with any. Amazing and unforgettable experience and I wish I could have stayed until the end of time!

Thank you for this amazing review Rebecca, we are very pleased to hear you had a great time in Casa Masha. We hope to be able to host you again in the future!

More beautiful than in the photos. a very nice discovery for the whole family. We felt like we were in Bali 😀 but much better.

Plus belle que sur les photos. une très belle découverte pour toute la famille. Nous avons eu l'impression d'être a Bali 😀 mais beaucoup mieux.

JUST BOOK IT! This place went beyond my expectations. Just WOW. The best Airbnb we have stayed at yet. The open concept and open air design is stunning. The wood work is literal art, it was extremely clean, comfortable and had everything we needed plus more. I loved the walk in pool for sitting and enjoying cocktails and my children were able to play freely in it which was a big plus. Me, my husband and our two children who are 6 months and 2 years old shared one bedroom and it worked out perfectly due to the large rooms  and pull out couch beds for the children to sleep on. Food, groceries and the beach are walking distance and downtown is a 10 min drive. Mari was extremely responsive and helpful . I could go on and on about this air bnb. 10/10!

Hi Rochelle, thank you for this amazing feedback! I’m very glad you enjoyed all the amenities of Casa Masha, you are welcome back anytime!

The house is beautifully appointed with everything you need for a memorable vacation. Wonderful open space to relax in that felt as though you were outdoors with the birds chirping and breeze blowing. Kitchen has everything you would want to make a meal. She had a lovely pdf guidebook that she sent ahead of time and even had fresh fruit waiting when we arrived. Great location within walking distance to black sand beach and cute restaurants/ market. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend and sty here again!

Thank you for your kind words Kim! We are very glad you enjoyed your stay with us, we hope to be able to host you again in the future.

It's an excellent place, the house is beautiful and the attention to detail is exemplary.

Es un lugar excelente, la casa es hermosa y la atención a los detalles es ejemplar.

Muchas gracias Viviam, nos alegra que hayas disfrutado de tu estadía en Casa Masha.

I have been staying at different Airbnb for five years and this has been by far the best of all excellent place, excellent, great location, great house and very good attention from Mariana

Llevo cinco años hospedándome en diferentes Airbnb y este ha sido por mucho el mejor de todos excelente lugar excelente ubicación gran casa y muy buena la atención de Mariana

Muchas gracias por tu amable comentario Bryam, nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de la casa y de la atención recibida. Saludos cordiales!

Very rarely does an Airbnb exceed our expectations, but this place is spectacular. Just a few minutes drive to Puerto Viejo and a short walk to a private entrance to the beach, it is situated in a great location. We've stayed in multiple other rentals in the area but this house is just in a perfect spot.  The location is great, but the house is equally as impressive. It's like an art piece - the upstairs living, dining and kitchen is open air and feels like a swanky tree house. All the furniture is comfortable and feels like a proper rainforest oasis. The suites downstairs are super comfortable and accommodated us quite well. Mariana is a great host and was very responsive. If it sounds like I'm gushing, it's because I am. We have used Airbnb for years and this may be the best spot we've ever stayed in. We will be back.

Thanks you so much for your kind words Matthew! We are very pleased you enjoyed your visit and appreciate all the details our house has to offer. You are welcome anytime!

Large house, excellent decor and has everything you need to have a great family vacation. The pool is excellent. Really a space that has all the amenities. Highly recommended

Casa grande, excelente decoración y tiene todo lo necesario para pasar excelentes vacaciones en familia. La piscina excelente. Realmente un espacio que tiene todas las comodidades. Súper recomendado

Gracias por dejarnos tu comentario Jorge! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de su estadía en Casa Masha, para nosotros fue un placer recibirlos. Esperamos volver a abrirles las puertas de nuestra casa. Saludos!
