Casa El Camino Rustic Jungle Getaway with pool - Houses for Rent in Santa Teresa, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Nice house! Beautiful surroundings. Mike and Lars (housekeeper) are quickly to response.

We had the best time staying in Santa Teresa! The town was easily accessible from Mike’s place by ATV. Mike was very responsive, the home was very beautiful and in the jungle! We saw Monkeys outside of the bathroom windows multiple days!

Perfectly maintained and stylish home with pleasant swimming pool. Quietly located on a hill. Nice place to stay for 6 adults and a baby.

Piekfijn verzorgde en stijlvolle woning met aangenaam zwembad. Rustig gelegen op een heuvel. Leuke verblijfplaats voor 6 volwassenen en een baby.

Beautiful home, easily walkable to beach and to some great food/drink options in north Santa Teresa. Housekeeping kept it spotless every day. Would recommend.

Great house. The property managers were amazing and so helpful. Loved the pool and the variety of wildlife right in the backyard. We were greeted by monkeys and iguanas. I wish it was a little more private from the driveway since there are other houses above this one and we didn’t realize that the yoga studio is not connected to the house but rather a community structure. Otherwise everything was fantastic and we’d definitely come again!

The house is very nice and comfortable. It was super clean. We were very difficult to communicate with Mike and Tamara because they didn't speak much Spanish. The location of the house is very well located but the climb it has to get to is quite complex. We are young people trained and it was not easy for us to do every day. It is a house that forces you to move by car.

La casa es muy linda y cómoda. Estaba súper limpia. Se nos dificultó mucho la comunicación con Mike y con Tamara porque no hablaban mucho español. La ubicación de la casa está muy bien ubicada pero la subida que tiene para llegar es bastante compleja. Somos jóvenes entrenados y no nos resultó nada fácil para hacer todos los días. Es una casa que obliga a moverte en auto.

Your original booking was canceled by Airbnb shortly before your arrival because the second payment was apparently not completed. I then made every effort to find a solution for you – including a full refund of the deposit that had already been collected by Airbnb. I have been renting out my houses in Santa Teresa for ten years. My team and I speak decent Spanish, even though it is not our native language. This has never been an issue in the past. If it was a challenge for you, I sincerely apologize. An early check-in is usually not possible, as previous guests check out on the same day at 10:00 AM. We need sufficient time to thoroughly clean the house and prepare it to the highest standard for the next guests. This policy is clearly communicated in advance, which is why I find your rating about this difficult to understand. Many of my guests manage perfectly well without a car, as all essential places in Santa Teresa are within a 5 to 10-minute walking distance. Since you mentioned that you are young, walking should not be an issue! In general, I recommend researching the location of an accommodation before booking – especially since Santa Teresa stretches along the coast for about four kilometers. Since you consciously decided not to spend money on a rental car or an ATV, this choice should not be reflected as criticism of the place. In summary, I went to great lengths to assist you in a difficult situation and provided you with a pleasant stay. The fact that you left me a pretty negative review does not speak well for you as a person. Best regards, Mike

Very nice place and very relaxing. Location is great 50m off the main Santa Teresa road at the end of St. Teresa towards Hermosa beach. Owner communication was good as well as that of welcome hosts. Few things could be improved - bed linen had some stains and washing machines are missing (both for clothes and dishes).

Hello Marko Thank you for staying at my house. As mentioned in the advertisement, we do not have a washing machine or dishwasher in any of our rental houses, because we specialize in short stays. We apologize for any stains on the bed linen, but we can guarantee that they are always washed in the boiling program with disinfectant detergent.

Stayed here for 6 nights with my family and we absolutely loved it! The house was so relaxing and beautiful, close enough to walk to the beach and to restaurants but on the quieter end of town which was perfect. We rented an ATV for the duration of our stay which was so fun and a very convenient way to get around and to go surfing. Highly recommend this place!

Mike’s place was a dream! We had such a great time and felt right at home. His property manager was so helpful coordinating several things for us, including surf lessons which was a big hit with the kids. We loved the privacy of the location yet being within walking to the beach. We traveled as a family of 5 and felt very safe and comfortable with our kids there. We plan to return next year. Thank you so much, Mike!

We had a wonderful stay, and loved the welcome incense, beers and juice boxes for the kids! The place was lovely and clean, and the pool was so refreshing. Loved birdwatching from the top deck!

Mike was very responsive to all of our requests before checking in and a great help in making us feel comfortable coming down with our 10 month old baby. The house was well appointed and in a great location of Santa Teresa. Surrounded by jungles and trees filled with monkeys, it was an absolutely incredible stay. Very accommodating and helpful with our requests, I would definitely recommend this to anyone

we had a great stay and loved the beautiful house. it was close to the main shopping/dining area of Santa Teresa but in a quieter part of town which we really liked. we‘ll come again :) thank you!

1. The rough, steep road really takes away from the ease of using this place. 2. Cleaning service and linen service - no service for two days during holiday. Clean towels not provided each day. Drinking water out and new drinking water not replaced. Paper towels not provided - No kitchen towels. 3. Pictures make this accommodation look bigger than it is. 4. One of the air conditioning units did not stay on in the bedroom.

Hello Julie First, thank you for being my guests. Even your stay was not like expected. 1 .) We are located 150m up the hill (as in the advertisement described). Whether this is strenuous depends on your fitness level! You did rent a side by side ATV so should be a easy access? 2.) As in the information describe's and sent to all my guests. There is no cleaning on Sunday and national days, for all other days I do offer daily cleaning! I do offer every 3nd day a change of towels and bedding. Seems you misunderstand a AIRBNB with a hotel? 3.) I do provide welcome Beers and fruits and the first 18Liter drinking water as a welcome to my guests. But I do not provide a 24h/7 concierge service wich is responsible for your water! Kitchen towel, same as toilet paper are provided, but not paper towels. If you miss something during you stay, you do have my property manager's number. He lives at the property and is happy to help asap. 4.) All my AC's are connected to a moving sensor. Because of ECO- friendliness , It does not make sense to have a running AC, if no one is in the room. If you have problems with one of the AC's, again, don't hesitate to get in contact with my property manager! My property manager did checked in your son, wich arrived first and told him all about the house and how it works. I am sorry we did not do same check in with you, after your arrival in the middle of the night. Unfortunately I did realized by your questions upfront, you probably did not read all the information I provided you. It would help to clear a lot of things. Sad we were not able to offer you a great stay. Respectfully Mike

This is our second time staying at Mike’s place. We love Santa Teresa and will always come back to Mike’s house b/c of its amazing privacy in lush tropical settings, location in the quieter part of town but so accessible to everything, and the ease of communication w/ Mike and Lars. Very professional. The decor and style of the home is like a treehouse but with all the modern amenities. And the pool is lovely. Lars the property manager was always accessible and helped us with an ATV rental. Also, he left us with a lovely bottle of rose and chocolates to welcome us back. Highly recommended!!

We love Santa Teresa and after spending more than 2 months there during COVID we decided to come back for thanksgiving this year. The space has a great indoor/outdoor flow and the pool area is nice. We also really liked the yoga Shala just up the hill which has yoga mats and blocks. We also saw many monkeys from the property which was cool There were a few things that could be improved upon including providing more towels (both beach and bath). The beds are certainly on the firmer side so if that’s a problem for you it might not be the best fit. Like many places in the area there is a dog that lives on the street and did bark pretty early in the morning on a few occasions which wasn’t great tbh.

This has to be one of my favorite Airbnb stays ever. If you’re up for a remote adventure to get there (we came from the US), it is absolutely worth the travel. The place itself was exactly as described and as shown in the pictures. It was private, so incredibly peaceful, clean, and all around perfect! The property manager was so helpful and friendly. The property dog, Freya, also gave us many sweet visits. The cleaning staff work hard to keep things pristine. A short walk to the beach and many restaurants/supermarket in town. We rented an ATV for a few days and it was definitely a fun way to get around (esp as most roads are gravel and dirt). We loved The Bakery in town for breakfast and coffee, and explored many restaurants. Every single one has great food and service. Mike was so helpful in booking everything from rides to excursions and we couldn’t be grateful enough. We hope to be back again!

Excellent stay! Beautiful home, very convenient location and really appreciated the ease of communication and quick responses when we had questions. My family and I fell in love with Santa Teresa and can’t wait to return one day.

This place was awesome! Felt very luxurious! We made it without a 4x4 but that was without rain and it wasn’t easy. I would come back for sure.

Paradise. Well appointed home and so very well thought out. Mikes caretakers were lovely and helpful. One of my favorite stays!

El Camino was great! Such a great setting. Tucked away a short walk up the hill but close enough to easily get to the beach. Within walking was what ended up being our favorite restaurant, Nami. Also, close to a great grocery store. Super close to all the rest that Santa Teresa offers of course, but being on the north side you can quickly escape towards Hermosa and the surrounding area.

We had a great stay and the hosts Mike and Kim were great with fab recommendations!  The property is lovely and rustic, our only unexpected surprise was that the the house was effectively 2 separate spaces with their own key-locked entrance and not directly connected.  So if you have kids, depending on how you feel, you need to lock them in in the accommodation on the ground floor and then go via steps outside to the upstairs accommodation and hope the kids don’t need anything in the night, the alternative is to leave everything unlocked overnight! Also, there is no indoor dining area or air conditioning in the kitchen.  Both bathrooms are open to the outdoors, which was great for feeling connected to nature.

Mike’s place is quintessentially Costa Rica. You are surrounded by Jungle, you can hear the surf and the house is well designed and laid back. We would recommend the place to family and friends.

Had a nice stay at Mike’s place! Kim the proper manager was very nice and was always there if you needed anything. He lived right next door but always respected our privacy! Cleaning was a nice addition daily very quick and efficient! The al fresco kitchen on the second floor is awesome to have a romantic dinner! It’s funny there are two animals living in the ceiling in each floor and you hear them run around, day and night, which was first creepy but then was quickly ignored! It’s the jungle so what do you expect haha I have to say the house was smaller then it looked in the pictures and also it’s not as private as it seemed in the pictures since there is the road right by the house. The location was great! Walking distance to a great grocery store and a short drive from our favourite manzanillo beach! Overall nice stay!

Excellent and authentic place, private in a good location, surrounded by nature. We could see and hear in the morning the howler monkeys.

Incredible house for the perfect getaway! Private but still walkable to everything Santa Teresa has to offer! Cant wait to go back!

We stayed at El Camino for 2 nights and had an absolutely wonderful time. The house was just as described and the grounds and interiors were really nicely done w/ an indoor/outdoor feel. Kim, the property manager lives nearby and is really helpful if needed. An ATV is highly recommended for getting around Santa Teresa and for getting down to the beach. You can walk, but it is a steep and gravelly path in sections and a big stretch of the roads in town are not paved and very rough. We loved the Boho vibe of the house and the town, which we fell in love with. My only recommendation is to provide clearer instructions for finding the house as it’s a bit tricky at first. Other than that we absolutely loved it and will come back in a heartbeat!

Beautiful house in a peaceful setting. East beach access by going down the hill and straight to a path that leads to the beach. Sound communication and a wonderful house keeper and daily cleaning service. Special place, will be back.

We stayed in Casa El Camino for 9 nights over Christmas and New Year. We are a family of 5 and the villa was perfect for our needs. It's really well located - a 5 minute walk from the beach, 3 minutes from a well-stocked supermarket and there's loads of restaurants nearby. The villa itself is gorgeous - just like the photos. There are 2 lovely ladies who clean everyday, and Kim, the property manager, is very responsive and helpful. There's a 'to die for' yoga deck which you can use too. Alongside the villa is a forest which is full of amazing trees and wildlife. It's really special! The pool is great too. The only possible improvements we would suggest would be to have plugs for the kitchen sinks and for the ovens to be reliable. A BBQ would be nice too. We got the impression that not many guests cook in the villa so these issues probably had not been picked up before. We were able to resolve them, but cooking dinner on Christmas Day (Day 1) was quite a challenge!

We loved the place ! Super child friendly! Incredible surroundings. 5 minutes away to the beach. There where monkeys outside the window.

A truly remarkable stay! This house is tastefully designed with great details (eg. seashell lamps, comfiest hammocks, indoor/outdoor showers), and feels like you're living in an Architectural Digest magazine. The location is perfect, up a quiet street in a secluded jungle but just 5 minutes from the main street & 8 minutes to the beach. However, the best part was our unbelievable hospitable host, Kim. He went above & beyond to accommodate every request & make our stay magical. THANK YOU KIM!

What an incredible week we had at Mike's in Santa Teresa. The pool was just perfect for our family and we loved spending time in the hammocks on the porch. It is well located to shopping, beach and attractions. Highly recommend!!

Great home base to explore the area. We loved having the pool to return to each afternoon, and it was an easy walk down to the beach, the surf, and the surrounding restaurants.

Definitely my favorite place I have stayed. The place was spotless, the pool was warm, and there is wildlife right in the backyard. We saw monkeys, iguanas, colorful birds ,etc. Additionally, Mike and the property manager Andi were very responsive. Andi arranged ATVs to be dropped off and picked up at the place for us in addition to taking care of other logistics. We barely had to lift a finger. Cleaning comes though nearly everyday so the place stays spotless while there. It is also in a great part of town, quiet but easy access to the attractions. We all really enjoyed our time here.

We loved our stay. Definitely one of the best Airbnb's we've stayed in. The place is built and decorated in a way that reflects that natural beauty of Costa Rica. It was comfortable, private and conveniently located for quick access to the beach and the town. We also fell in love with Santa Teresa. It's a vibrant surf town that embodies the Pura Vida vibe and attracts incredible people from all over the world.

Gorgeous Airbnb up a hill in the rainforest, surrounded by mango trees that the howler monkeys like. Loved the pool and unique open shower with nothing separating you from the forest. Mike/Andreas helped arrange a great couples massage for us on our honeymoon in the yoga hut further up the hill (however prices were a bit more expensive than our previous couples massage in another Santa Theresa Airbnb). Definitely to go Kogi's (amazing sushi!) and Banana Beach (beach club) if you're in the area! Also I'd recommend getting a Honda Talon (side-by-side) or quad for the road leading to this Airbnb and the town in general, as there are a lot of unpaved roads and mud (esp in green season). Definitely recommend!

Had a great stay here, good location and great communication

Our party of 6 had such an amazing time here. It was close to town so we could walk to get into the thick of things, but it was off of the main road enough that it was private and quiet. It felt very safe there, too. The pool and outdoor area was incredible - we spent so much time just lounging around. We also loved the partially outdoor showers. Mike, Nicole, and Philip (property manager) were all very friendly and communicative and helpful.

Mike’s place was beautiful and in a perfect location. The house is a great set up for a group. The beach is just a walk away.  Rosie the dog who lives on the property is so sweet and it was always nice seeing her. Phil the property manager was also very helpful throughout our stay!

great place to stay. I also highly recommend Chef Phil's services........ fantastic host and chef!

Casa El Camino is in a perfect location in Santa Teresa…turn south for an active (somewhat hectic) town, north for a more peaceful and tranquil  atmosphere. Phillip, the manager, was amazingly helpful. The pool, patio, and surrounding nature (monkeys, birds, kitties) were unreal. The sound of the waves crashing from the comfort of your own pool or hammock!? You’ll find it all at El Camino.

El Camino was an amazing stay! We loved the location and sense of adventure on approach. The home was so clean and comfortable. Our manager Philip was a welcome neighbor and friendly face coming and going. We really appreciated his presence and recommendations. Mike was extremely easy going and responsive during planning and changes. We’d highly recommend the El Camino to travelers and especially a family as the home is situated for both privacy and gathering. I’d take Mike and Philip up on any local recommendations or referrals for transportation and services as the El Camino is on a road that not all drivers will navigate - although we did fine in a common golf cart/buggy. Book with these folks. It’s a great spot.

Had a great time at El Camino. It was the perfect setup for three couples, and Mike was able to help us book ATVs and taxis for our convenience.

We really liked the house. We really liked the road. Private location and among nature, the pool is delicious, a short hike to the beach and overall spacious and comfortable. Phill is very nice and very helpful with any need that arises.

La casa el camino nos gustó muchísimo. Ubicación privada y entre naturaleza, la piscina es deliciosa, una caminata corta a la playa y en general espaciosa y cómoda. Phill es muy amable y de gran ayuda con cualquier necesidad que se presente.

Nice 3 bedroom space (2 bedroom + upstairs studio). Great for a small group up to 6 people. Bedrooms are all separated. Outdoor shower allows you to wash off sand before getting into the house. Kitchen stocked including coffee😊. Nice little backyard with pool. Feels private. Would recommend to anyone looking for a mid-range place in Santa Teresa.

I've stayed at a fair amount of AirBnB throughout the world, and host one myself.  This was likely one of the best places I've ever stayed - absolutely fantastic.  Highly recommend.

El Camino made our stay in Santa Teresa perfect! An easy walk to the beach but the kids enjoyed the pool multiple times a day, while the adults enjoyed the hammocks and several seating areas. We enjoyed cooking as a family and eating out on the patio listening to the monkeys, watching the birds and seeing the iguanas. A wonderful slice of heaven hidden in the jungle.

Nice place, we reserved the house just for us (two) and could really enjoyed the pool. The sea is easily accessible on foot and there is a supermarket nearby with everything you need. We appreciate to have the air conditioned in the room.

Amazing Airbnb! Very well thought out with great amenities, and Philip the caretaker was a great host. Couldn't expect more with the place - exactly how the photos depict it to be. Only downside while we were there was the internet going out for 24 hours, so if you have important work to do which relies on a stable, fast internet connection, this may not be the place. But a great place to unwind and relax and enjoy Santa Teresa!

Great location, great lounge area with beautiful small pool.

Casa El Camino is a wonderful place to stay in Santa Teresa. Just far enough away from the hustle and bustle and with a great surf break at the beach access right across the street, just a quick walk down the hill. I would recommend renting a quad or some type of vehicle to get around town as a lot of the shopping is down the road a bit. Overall, my family has a great stay. Phil the property manager and Mike the owner were always available and very helpful.

Wonderful place! Convenient location, really well decorated, super lush and beautiful. Will stay here again!

Honestly can't say enough good things about the experience or the property. It was absolutely amazing!

Great place to stay would recommend highly if staying in San Teresa

Authentic jungle experience! Gorgeous house and views, and appreciated the privacy. We observed monkeys in the trees around the house.

Best place to stay in Santa Teresa! The house is located right at the edge of the town, close enough to access everything, but tucked away on a private, safe road with a yoga platform up on the hill. We spent most of our time by the pool and outdoor hang out area, and enjoyed breakfast every morning up at the outdoor kitchen. There’s an indoor kitchen as well. This place has everything you need and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to shower as monkeys pass by in the trees. Could not recommend more. Thanks Mike and Philip!

Thank you Mike and Phil for making our stay wonderful. Our group of 2 couples had a great stay here. The communication was super easy and quick, Mike and Phil were available for questions, recommendations and helped to arrange massages and personal chef. The place looks exactly like it does in the pictures and the pool is awesome. The neighborhood is conveniently located just a short walk to the beach and town. Would absolutely recommend to stay there!

We just came back from Santa Teresa and we have a wonderful stay at Casa El Camino. Everything was like in the pictures. We were not disappointed. Charming, inviting, rustic yet confortable, modern and eco friendly accommodations. It is surrounded by lush vegetation with birds and monkeys. No view of the sea but you can hear the waves from afar. It is also far enough from the busy/dusty main road so the casa is private and peaceful. Rooms have comfortable beds and are well ventilated (with ceiling fans). They all have a/c but we did not have to use it during our trip.  The small salt water pool was perfect to cool down after a day at the beach. It was perfect for our party of five. 5min walk (down the hill) from a beautiful beach and surf beach break with restaurants and a supermarket close by. It was very convenient to visit the whole area. 4x4 a must (to get up the steep gravel road). Communication with owner was excellent.  Philip the caretaker who lives one house below on the property was very helpful with restaurants recommendations (our favorite: El facon, Rocamar, Satori, El Carmen, Kavita, Marfa's cafe,...) and responsive to all our needs. Daily house keeping was also a plus.  Check in and out was easy (with key lock box). We had great stay! Thank you Mike and Philip.

Casa El Camino was the best Airbnb experience I've had. Mike and his landlord Phil were awesome and gave us a true sense of the laidback lifestyle in Santa Teresa thanks to the location, amenities, and comfort of the house. It is tucked back in the Jungle and only a 2-4 minute walk from the beach, restaurants, and the grocery store (Super la Hacienda). The pool is great and the outdoor showers are better. It was really a great spot.

Excellent attention Mike was always very attentive and helped us as much as he could. The house  very beautiful and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Excelente atención Mike estuvo muy atento siempre y nos ayudó en todo lo que pudo. La casa  es muy bonita y comoda. Disfrutamos mucho de la estadía.

Our time at Casa El Camino was perfect! The house is totally clean, very nicely decorated and Mike a great host who cares about all wishes and concerns immediately. The pool was great and also the location of the house is perfect. The beach can be reached quickly on foot and there are many beautiful restaurants nearby. Also a supermarket is just behind the corner. Nevertheless, you are a bit away from the total hustle and bustle, so even a stay with children is very nice. Thank you for the great time! :)

Unsere Zeit im Casa El Camino war perfekt! Das Haus ist total sauber, sehr schoen eingerichtet und Mike ein toller Gastgeber, der sich um alle Wuensche und Anliegen sofort kuemmert. Der Pool war spitze und auch die Lage vom Haus ist perfekt. Den Strand erreicht man schnell zu Fuss und es gibt viele schoene Restaurants in der Naehe. Auch ein Supermarkt ist gleich um die Ecke. Trotzdem ist man etwas abseits vom totalen Trubel, so dass auch ein Aufenthalt mit Kindern sehr schoen ist. Vielen Dank fuer die tolle Zeit! :)

Casa Drop In was the perfect place for our family to use as home base in Santa Teresa. My wife and I have 3 kids age 6 months to 6 years.  This house is beautiful with really comfortable bedrooms and private semi outdoor showers that allowed us to literally shower looking at monkeys on the last day.  AC worked perfect, the beach is a safe (no car traffic other than crossing a road) 4 minute walk from the house.  Close enough to grocery and restaurants to walk.  The architecture reminds you that you are on vacation somewhere special.  Mike was very responsive and helpful.  We would certainly go back.

Casa El Camino was an excellent base for our trip to Santa Teresa.  The place was a short walk from the beach and the pool is nice place to cool off during the mid day sun.  Mike is a very responsive host and has lots of great recommendations for us.

We loved staying at Casa El Camino!  We have stayed closer into town and like that too, but it was really nice to be just north of the hubbub of the main drag and yet be able to access everything so easily.  I walked to the surf break by the disco which is my favorite break.  The house is well appointed.  Bring a USB speaker for your music.  It was nice being up off the flats by 75 feet or so - there was more of a constant breeze up there to cool you off.  Mike and family live next door so they were always available for help or questions.  Daily maid service was really nice to have.  We love having a pool in Santa Teresa to cool off in and the A/C in the bedrooms was good.  Highly recommend Casa El Camino and Mike!

Mike and Nicole were amazing hosts. The place is right in the part of town you want to be in. Far enough from the road and busier part of town, but very close to the beach and groceries, restaurants etc. They helped us with reservations, car rentals and anything else we needed. The house was cleaned daily, fresh towels and having our own pool was great. I would recommend Mike's place to anyone who is looking for a great place in Santa Teresa.
