Overall great location and great place. Youbi is a very responsive host and super helpful! The place even had a blender which I haven’t seen very often in Airbnbs! Really enjoyed our stay. We even got to see howler monkeys from the porch while drinking coffee!

There are no kitchen utensils. The coffee maker doesn't work well; it doesn't have a filter. There are few curtains, which gives little privacy.

faltan utensilios de. cocina   el cofeemaker no funciona bien no tiene filtro.  pocas cortinas qué da poca privacidad

Youbi was an incredible host, very responsive, warm, and always around to help. The place itself was astonishing. Beautiful simplicity with stunning views. A great escape to disconnect and hit the reset button. I’ll be back for sure and I’m hoping I’ll be able to stay at one of Youbi’s place! Gracias Youbi!! Pura Vida!

We had such a great time staying in Youbi’s accommodation, close to every thing, but still very calm and had everything we needed and a little more! Youbi was a great host, and we hope to be back again soon! Can’t recommend this place enough! ⭐️

The place is not as it looked in the photos; the layout is different, things are missing, and it looked like the place hadn't been maintained in a very long time. It didn't have curtains all around, so privacy is sometimes questionable if you can be seen from where the cars are. The shower drain is not working properly; after a while, the bathroom would fill up. The sink faucet wanders all over the sink. The apartment was greasy; it felt weird. When we arrived, there was no hand soap in the bathroom, and the pillows on the bed smelled strange. The handle on one of the house doors didn't work; it was loose, and the lock was faulty, so the house remained open; you just had to slide the window shut. Regarding parking, they should provide a parking space, as a quad bike cut us off while we were pulling the car in. And you can hear everything between the upstairs and downstairs floors...

El lugar no es lo que parecía en fotos, la distribución es diferente, hacen falta cosas y el mantenimiento del lugar parecía que había sido hace muchísimo tiempo. No tenía cortinas a todo alrededor, por lo cual privacidad en ocasiones entra la duda  si te ven desde donde están los carros. La ducha el desagüe no está bien, al rato se llenaba el baño. La llave del lavatorio baila por todo el lavamanos. El piso estaba grasoso, daba un sensación rara, llegamos y no había jabón para lavado de manos en el baño, las almohadas de la cama olían raras. Una de las puertas de la casa la manilla no funcionaba estaba suelta y el seguro malo, entonces quedaba abierta la casa, era solo de correr el ventanal. Sobre el parqueo deberían dar un espacio para carro ya que nos atravesaron un cuadraciclo donde estábamos metiendo el carro. Y todo se escucha entre pisos de arriba y el de abajo…

Very nice open-plan studio, with several places to relax. We really enjoyed the beautiful pool, which is very well maintained. We were able to see several animals in the area around the Airbnb. However, a 4x4 is really necessary, as the entrance is difficult to access. Youbi and his family are very nice, and we really enjoyed their various recommendations!

Très beau studio à air ouverte, avec plusieurs endroits où se reposer. Nous avons beaucoup aimé la magnifique piscine, qui est très bien entretenue. Nous avons pu voir plusieurs animaux dans les environs du Airbnb. Un 4x4 est vraiment nécessaire toutefois car l’entrée est difficile d’accès. Youbi et sa famille sont très agréable et nous avons beaucoup apprécié leurs différentes recommandations!

Place is just like the photos; some furniture is in a different arrangement. Youbi is very attentive to whatever you might need.

Lugar similar a las fotos, algunos muebles se encuentran en diferente orden Youbi muy atento a lo que se pueda necesitar

Very great host, always available and proactive. The place was great too. The sunset wasn’t the only highlight; we also got to see the monkeys every day. The view of the sea beyond the jungle was simply unique. We were very sad when we had to move on. A place I would more than recommend!

Sehr toller Gastgeber jederzeit erreichbar und proaktiv. Die Unterkunft war auch super. Der Sonnenuntergang war nicht das einzige Highlight, sondern auch die täglichen Affen, die zu sehen waren. Der Blick auf das Meer hinter dem Dschungel war einfach einzigartig. Wir waren sehr traurig, als wir weiterziehen mussten. Eine Unterkunft, die ich mehr als empfehlen würde!

awesome spot and youbi was super hospitable! the road to get there is a bit steep but not impossible to get up. once you’re up there, it’s super peaceful and the sunset view was incredible

An excellent place, highly recommended. It's a pretty challenging slope but with a 4x4 everything is fine, the internet failed a little at night but everything else 10/10

Excelente lugar muy recomendado. Es una cuesta bastante retadora pero con un 4x4 todo bien, el internet falló un poco en la noche pero todo lo demás 10/10

The place was great, perfect to go to the beach quickly or stay at the Airbnb to rest with the view! Youbi is a really great host

Le logement était super, parfait pour aller à la plage rapidement ou rester au Airbnb pour se reposer avec la vue! Youbi est un très bon hôte

We stayed 8 days at Youbi's and it was a very nice time. The property is slightly elevated and a 4x4 car is recommended. There are easily accessible nature parks, surf spots, restaurant, supermarket and fishing opportunities in the area. We would come back. Thank you

Wir waren 8 Tage bei Youbi und es war eine sehr schöne Zeit. Die Unterkunft liegt etwas erhöht und ein 4x4 Auto ist zu empfehlen. In der Umgebung gibt es gut erreichbar Naturparks, Surfspots, Restaurant, Supermarkt und Angelgelegenheiten. Wir würden wiederkommen. Dankeschön

A wonderful view, the place is very comfortable and beautiful, and Youbi is super friendly and attentive! This place is highly recommended for a pleasant, quiet and very enjoyable stay.

Una vista maravillosa, el lugar muy cómodo y hermoso, y Youbi super amable y atento! Super recomendado este lugar para una estancia agradable, tranquila y muy placentera.

Youbi is a very welcoming and sweet host. It was a joy to meet him and stay in this place

Youbi was responsive. His place has great views, a nice balcony and a nice pool.

Youbi was an amazing host! Super friendly and helpful - gave local recommendations and instructions on how to get places. The location of Santa Teresa has dirt roads that can be a bit tricky to navigate so the location is just something to keep in mind - and Youbi’s place has a big driveway also to note. But the pool and view from the place were a 10!

I highly recommend this place! The owner is very kind and responsive to all requests.

We had a great stay. Youbi helped us with all our questions and problems. It's nice to be welcomed into the community like this. Thank you for that!

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Youbi hat uns bei all unseren Fragen und Problemen geholfen. Es ist schön, wenn man so in der Gemeinschaft aufgenommen wird. Vielen Dank dafür!

We loved staying at Youbi's. It was truly a wild experience. Remember to shut the windows because of bugs, you are in the jungle! 😉

Youbi's accommodation, although rustic and in keeping with the natural forest environment, did not meet our expectations due to certain drawbacks. The house has several leaks that allow insects and animals to enter, which generated a somewhat uncomfortable experience. On one of the nights, a skunk even entered the house and took food, which affected our rest and well-being. Despite this situation, we appreciate Youbi's attitude as a host. He was very attentive and offered to move us to another cabin for two days while the problem was solved, in addition to committing to close the place where the animal entered. However, the presence of worms and spiders inside the house contributed to the general discomfort. Unfortunately, due to these issues, we do not plan to return to this place in the future. However, I want to emphasize Youbi's hospitality, who always kept in touch and was helpful

El alojamiento de Youbi, aunque rústico y acorde con el entorno natural del bosque, no cumplió con nuestras expectativas debido a ciertos inconvenientes. La casa presenta varias filtraciones que permiten la entrada de insectos y animales, lo que generó una experiencia algo incómoda. En una de las noches, incluso, un zorrillo ingresó a la casa y se llevó comida, lo que afectó nuestro descanso y bienestar. A pesar de esta situación, agradecemos la actitud de Youbi como anfitrión. Fue muy atento y nos ofreció trasladarnos a otra cabaña durante dos días mientras se solucionaba el problema, además de comprometerse a cerrar el lugar por donde se produjo la entrada del animal. Sin embargo, la presencia de gusanos y arañas dentro de la casa contribuyó a la incomodidad general. Lamentablemente, debido a estos inconvenientes, no consideramos regresar a este alojamiento en el futuro. No obstante, quiero remarcar la hospitalidad de Youbi, quien siempre se mantuvo en contacto y fue servicial

Yobi is a really great host. He stopped by shortly after check-in and gave us some tips for Santa Teresa. He was also immediately available for further questions. The space is gorgeous. You have a great view of the sea and through the hammock and the other seating and lying options, you can relax outside. Also in the cottage it is very clean and due to the amount of wood an exceptional and very nice place to stay.

Yobi ist ein wirklich toller Gastgeber. Er kam kurz nach dem Check In vorbei und hat uns einige Tipps für Santa Teresa gegeben. Auch bei weiteren Fragen war er sofort zur Stelle. Die Unterkunft ist traumhaft. Man hat einen tollen Blick auf das Meer und durch die Hängematte und die anderen Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten, kann man draußen toll entspannen. Auch in der Hütte ist es sehr sauber und durch das viele Holz eine außergewöhnliche und sehr schöne Unterkunft.

The cabin is very nice if what you are looking for is a more natural environment. It has some amenities to spend time on the terrace that are good. It is close to the beach but the climb is very demanding if you are on foot like us.

La cabaña está muy linda si lo que buscas es un entorno mas natural. Tiene algunas comodidades para pasar el tiempo en la terraza que están buenas. Está cerca de la playa pero es muy exigente la subida si estás a pie como nosotros.

Lovely host! Helped me out several times. Would 100% recommend :) Thank u Youbi!

We had a wonderful time at Youbi’s place. It was easy to find thanks to the clear directions he provided. It’s only a 10-minute walk from the beach, and we highly recommend it. Just keep in mind that you’ll need a larger car to reach the location comfortably.

Excellent accommodation, it has a great location, a spectacular view, an environment with a lot of vegetation and fauna, the studio is spacious and rustic. In addition, the host Youbi is very attentive to the comfort of the guests, he gave us information about the place, he is very kind and friendly. Highly recommended place, in terms of value for money. A 4x4 vehicle is needed to get there, as it has a very steep climb.

Excelente alojamiento,  tiene una gran ubicación, una vista espectacular, un entorno con mucha vegetación y fauna, el estudio es espacioso y rústico. Además, el anfitrión Youbi está muy atento a la comodidad de los huéspedes, nos dio información del lugar, es muy amable y amistoso. Muy recomendado el lugar, en la relación precio-calidad. Es necesario vehículo 4x4 para llegar, ya que tiene una subida muy empinada.

Youbi responded really quick and helped us in all the things we needed. Great fun spot to stay in

It is a fantastically beautiful place. We enjoyed the time here!! :)

Es ist ein traumhaft schöner Platz wir haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen!! :)

Yubi was exceptionally helpful and friendly. We would gladly stay again

A peaceful and cozy place with jungle feeling and a magics sea view. An extra bonus was the water purifier and that our food waste was composted. Youbi was a very kind and caring host. I can highly recommend this Airbnb.

Youbi’s place was excellent- a true escape in the heart of a busy town. Beautiful and relaxing, exactly as described and well worth the money. Youbi was amazing and gave us many local recommendations all of which were excellent. The only downfall- the doors and windows don’t lock- we kept our passports / valuables in the car. The area is super safe, so it’s not an issue unless you have a paranoid girlfriend like mine!! You have to be aware that it is indoor/outdoor living and as a result, there are bugs; cockroaches, ants, wasps, spiders, which made the place feel dirtier then it was. It was worth it for the tranquility but worth noting. A 4x4 is certainly needed too! Youbi’s directions were great, but we’d recommend arriving during the day to locate (and make the most of the sunset!!) A perfect location for a couple of nights but wouldn’t stay much longer. We would return despite this. We really loved Santa Teresa :)

Santa Teresa is a beautiful area and initially we were very happy with Youbi's place. The flat is spacious and well equipped, the area is quiet aside from dogs occasionally barking and and has lovely views of the ocean. Unfortunately our stay was marred by what Youbi said was a skunk gaining access to the house. It ate our food (Youbi forgot to mention to put all our food in the fridge) and clearly has access to the entire studio, leaving droppings around our belongings and urine on the bathroom floor. Youbi was aware of this issue beforehand. If the pest issue were sorted, this would be a wonderful find. Unfortunately I cannot recommend the studio as it stands and we did not have a restful stay.

I am deeply sorry about the skunk issue. I was aware of the skunk living close to the house, but I was not aware that he had found a way to get inside of the house. I have found the access and blocked it so the skunk can't get in the house anymore.

Youbi was an excellent host. He was very attentive and kind. We enjoyed waking up to the sunrise every morning. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay!!! ✨

We spend five nights of our holidays in Santa Teresa, Puntarenas;  and we choose to stay in the space offered by Youbi. Really Youbi was very empathetic with us, he gave us information on how to get there and how to go to our next destination in public transport (no rentamos automovil). Nos brindo bus schedules and locations, for example. The accommodation is very private and gives the feeling of being in the middle of the jungle. It is accessed by climbing up on foot for about '10 which makes this a bit difficult for elderly or people with health problems (it has two short but very steep sectors). Tip, if they wash a car that is 4x4 and the difficulty disappears. Mas alla de este, I would stay here again without a doubt, the place is located within the jungle and the feeling is indescribable. Lastly, when we had a problem with the hot water Youbi approached immediately and I fix it in a few minutes. Pura Vida!!!

Pasamos cinco noches de nuestras vacaciones por Santa Teresa, Puntarenas;  y elegimos alojarnos en el espacio que ofrece Youbi. Realmente Youbi fue muy empatico con nosotros, nos dio informacion sobre como llegar y sobre como ir a nuestro proximo destino en transporte publico (no rentamos automovil). Nos brindo horarios y ubicaciones de los buses, por ejemplo. El alojamiento es muy privado y da la sensacion de estar en medio de la jungla. Se accede subiendo en forma ascendente a pie durante unos ´10 lo que hace de esto un poco dificil para personas de edad avanzada o con problemas de salud (tiene dos sectores cortos pero muy empinados). Sugerencia, si rentan un automovil que sea 4x4 y la dificultad desaparece. Mas alla de esto, volveria a alojarme aqui sin ninguna duda, el lugar esta ubicado dentro de la selva y la sensacion es indescriptible. Por ultimo, cuando tuvimos un problema con el agua caliente Youbi se acerco en forma inmediata y lo soluciono en pocos minutos. Pura Vida!!!

Youbi is an exemplary host. He was very clear, attentive and respectful. The views are amazing and we felt safe and very comfortable. I would definitely come back!

Great stay with a great view, muchísimas gracias Youbi!

Was a very nice view… But the house it self had a lot of holes between the woods. The doors and windows couldn’t be locked, which didn’t felt safe:/

There is a guard at the entrance of the property from 6 pm until 6 am for security. I am an Airbnb host since 12 years and nothing ever happened. It is a private road, only used by a few people and we all know each others. The area is very quite and safe.

The place is quiet. It's not easily accessible. The slope to climb is too complicated even with a van ready for that. The house is comfortable but has some details that could be fixed like the bathroom door that does not close. Otherwise everything was good. The instructions to get there and the check-in is perfect.

El lugar es tranquilo. No es de fácil acceso. La pendiente para subir es demasiado complicada incluso con una camioneta preparada para eso. La casa es cómoda pero tiene algunos detalles que podrían arreglarse como la puerta del baño que no cierra. Por lo demás todo estuvo bien. Las instrucciones para llegar y el check in todo perfecto.

Great beachfront accommodation in very touristy Santa Teresa. Streets can be challenging. Slightly clairvoyant, I had good operation above myself. Incredibly beautiful views, steep drive. Youbi is incredibly kind and helpful! Worth a trip!!!

Tolle Unterkunft in Strandnähe im sehr touristisch geprägten Santa Teresa. Straßen können herausfordernd sein. Etwas hellhörig, ich hatte gut Betrieb über mir. Unfassbar schöner Ausblick, steile Anfahrt. Youbi ist unheimlich nett und hilfsbereit! Eine Reise wert!!!

We enjoyed Youbi's beautiful apartment! A lovely place in a quiet area. Youbi was a great host and gave us good tips for activities in the area. Highly recommended!

We hebben genoten van Youbi zijn prachtige appartement! Een heerlijke plek in een rustige omgeving. Youbi was een geweldige host en gaf ons goede tips voor activiteiten in de omgeving. Echt een aanrader!

We stayed in the studio at Youbi’s, and it was amazing. Exactly what we were looking for. The place was easy to find with google maps and his description of directions. Definitely need 4x4 to get up hill to property. It was peaceful, and the views were beautiful! As well as the almost daily visits from Monkeys right outside the patio. The studio was very clean and comfortable, and had all the necessities for a relaxing stay. Youbi was the best! So helpful, and just made us feel safe and welcomed. We will 100% be staying with him again.

The place was very beautiful and nicely prepared. Youbi is very attentive and helped all kind of things very quickly. The house is a bit on the hill but we finally enjoyed the to gonup and down as it was a good walk out. Thank you a lot Youbi! We enjoyed our time there.

Youbi was the best host we could have touched! Very attentive and helpful. While the location is somewhat difficult to get to, Youbi helped us as many times as needed for us to arrive safely, at any time we request. He also gave us local recommendations and tips to enjoy our stay in Santa Teresa. The depto is in the middle of the jungle and is definitely an experience to live!!

Youbi fue el mejor anfitrion que nos pudo haber tocado! Muy atento y servicial. Si bien la ubicación es algo difícil de llegar, Youbi nos ayudó las veces que fueron necesarias para que lleguemos a salvo, en cualquier horario que lo solicitamos. Tambien nos dio recomendaciones locales y consejos para disfrutar nuestra estadía en Santa Teresa. El depto está en el medio de la selva y es definitivamente una experiencia que hay que vivir!!

The view and the quiet area is the absolute highlight of this place!

Die Aussicht und die ruhige Gegend ist das absolute Highlight dieser Unterkunft!

It was a pleasure to stay at Youbi‘s Airbnb. Fantastic View, friendly and welcoming host . Youbi was very helpful and friendly. Loved that you are fast in the center of SantaTeresa but up there you have your private space and peace.

Youbi was an incredible host, as others have mentioned, he is a super friendly chap, and always a pleasure to run into. The place is the Jungle retreat of our dreams! Up a steep hill over looking Santa Teresa beach and the surrounding foliage, you will be woken by incredible bird song, insect chirps, and the unforgettable howler monkeys. It's a great place to watch the sunset, or the impressive Night Thunder Storms, depending on which season you visit. The air conditioning was a slice of luxury, it what felt like a beautiful Tree house made for adults. The hill may be something you want to tackle with a 4x4 or an ATV, but honestly most days we just walked up and down it from the beach. You will see crabs, geckos, iguanas and howlers on your way back from the main strip/beach this way.

This stay was amazing, a little gem up in the jungle! Stunning views and everything you need. Youbi went out of his way to be an amazing host. Always available and responsive, and a friendly face around town. This place is so great. An ATV is definitely a plus too. I really loved my stay here!

Stayed with Youbi in the oceanview studio unit for a month with my girlfriend and could not be happier with everything the rental provided. It was charming, beautiful, and you feel engulfed in the jungle while enjoying stunning ocean views all day long! Youbi was a great host, a friendly face around town, and constantly went out of his way to ensure our stay was perfect and comfortable. Could not recommend a better location or host!

Youbi was an amazing host so helpful and responsive! The view he has is beyond description and truly breathtaking. We arrived at night and when we woke up in the morning we were astonished at how beautiful it was outside. This is an AMAZING find!

Our stay at Youbi's was fantastic! Nice man, very friendly. The studio is very nice with comfortable bed, wonderful shower, great kitchen. But especially the location and the beautiful view complete it! Perfect for sunset! you will hear the sea and monkeys from your bed. Close to the restaurants while you don't realize that. However, steep incline up, we had an ATV. Have fun and thank Youbi! Emile & Amber

Ons verblijf bij Youbi was fantastisch! Leuke man, heel vriendelijk. De studio is erg mooi met comfortabel bed, heerlijke douche, prima keuken. Maar vooral de ligging en het prachtige uitzicht maken het af! Perfect voor zonsondergang! Je hoort de zee en apen vanuit je bed. Dichtbij de restaurants terwijl je dat niet doorhebt. Wel steile helling omhoog, wij hadden een ATV. Veel plezier en dank Youbi! Emile & Amber

I had a relaxing time here. I slept very well in the comfortable bed and the AC worked great. The hammock is amazing in the afternoons with the sea breeze keeping you cool. The cabin is up in the jungle so expect a steep walk up and plenty insects but I was surprised by the lack of mosquitoes and never got bitten once. I don’t mind a few ants if I can watch the monkeys from my hammock 😄

Great location of the accommodation, great views, quiet, in the countryside. Arrival adventurous via steep mountain, which, however, is easily accessible on foot. Parking directly in front of the house. Bathroom rather simple and convenient. Hot water is available immediately. Host was quick to respond to messages, friendly, and gave recommendations for the area.

Super Lage der Unterkunft, toller Ausblick, ruhig, im Grünen. Anreise abenteuerlich über steilen Berg der jedoch gut befahrbar/ zu Fuss erreichbar ist. Parken direkt vor dem Haus. Badezimmer eher einfach und zweckmässig. Warmes Wasser sofort vorhanden. Gastgeber reagierte schnell auf Nachrichten, freundlich, hat Empfehlungen für Umgebung gegeben.

If you love and appreciate nature, this is the place to be! The house is on a hill with beautiful views of the sea and surrounded by exotic plants. At night you can fall asleep with barbecue noises and sea sounds and in the morning you can hear the birds or howler monkeys that also come to visit the nearby trees from time to time. The furnishings are simple but everything you need is there. Super shower (always hot water and strong jet) and comfortable bed (on request also with mosquito net) We enjoyed our stay very much and communication with Youbi was super friendly. We will be back!

Wer die Natur liebt und schätzt ist hier genau richtig! Das Haus liegt auf einem Hügel mit wunderschönem Ausblick auf das Meer und von exotischen Pflanzen umgeben. Nachts schläft man mit Grillengeräuschen und Meeresrauschen ein und morgens hört man die Vögel oder Brüllaffen, die ab und zu auch in den nahegelegen Bäumen zu Besuch kommen. Die Ausstattung ist einfach aber es hat alles was man braucht. Super Dusche (immer warmes Wasser und starker Strahl) und bequemes Bett (auf Wunsch auch mit Moskitonetz) Wir haben unser Aufenthalt sehr genossen und die Kommunikation mit Youbi war super freundlich. Wir kommen wieder!

youbi’s place was perfect for our 4-night trip to santa teresa. the balcony is the perfect place to relax and watch the sunset. the room was clean and tidy, AC worked great. just a 5 min walk from town. i’d definitely stay again and recommend to a friend.

Nice little apartment. Close to everything you need. The host is super responsive and communicates well with customers!

I had one of my best stays at Youbi's place. It truly felt like paradise, so close to the action yet so incredibly peaceful, comfortable and relaxing. Youbi was extremely helpful and very proactive. It is a little bit of a hike to get to the place, but the views are more than worth it. Thank you!

Beautiful cabin, exceptional sunset views. Youbi and his wife are charming and very responsive and accommodating. The beaches are very beautiful, we surfed a little! I already recommended it to friends!

Magnifique cabanon, une vue exceptionnelle sur le coucher de soleil. Youbi et sa femme son charmants et très réactifs et arrangeants. Les plages sont très belles, on a surfé un peu ! Je l’ai déjà recommandé à des amis !

Youbi is a great host and human being. I guess the house provided used to be very nice as well. Now, it needs maintenance…. There are a few holes and cracks and the overall status is a bit unattended. When I booked the place I thought it would be directly at the beach, but in reality, you have to go up a very steep hill, which we couldn’t do with our car (no 4x4, our fault of course). Youbi helped us to bring it up in the evening, which was very nice of him. The view is also fantastic. The bed was very comfortable and it has a mosquito net, which you can use it if you want!!

Dear Lukas, you say that you were expecting to be near the beach, that means that you didn't read the description of the place neither the reviews. It clearly specified that you need a 4WD, nonetheless I came to pick you up and I drove you to your car on departure day. I suggest that before you make a reservation you read the description, wish obviously you didn't do.

The apartment was fantastic, as was Youbi as a host. A+ place and experience overall

The climb is steep if you walk. It has a great view and just like the photos. Recommended !

La subida es pronunciada si vas caminando. Tiene una gran vista y es tal cual las fotos. Recomendable !

Youbi picked us up and helped us to drive our car upwards the steep street (we had a 2wd). He was so incredibly friendly and helpful, the well maintained airbnb is made with a lot of lovely details, Youbi does a lot to keep it safe, clean, private and maintained all the time. being surrounded by animals (your neighbours will be some small monkeys :) and nature give you a relaxing time of the busy santa teresa mainroad. Exactly what we were searching for! Its just a walk 6-7 minutes down and to the beach, the location is great! it was just a the best to drink a nice coffee on the terrace while having a stunning sea view. There are also nice restaurants around! Personally I have never experienced such a nice and proactive and helpful host on aribnb, I immediatley felt like home, Youbi treated us like family! We are so thankful for the experience and we were truly melancholic when we had to leave. If you think about staying in Santa Teresa: Don't heasitate and stay at Youbi's place! <3

Lugar perfecto para alejarse de la rutina

Great communication and helped us get up and down steep hill...one bed , nice hammock,  one sofa outside and one sofa inside...also have roomates above us and lots of bugs so that is why have bed net...awesome with nature

Youbi was extremely responsive, helped with local recommendations and even met me when I arrived late. Definitely recommend a stay at this place for a relaxing and peaceful stay!

Youbi is an amazing host! Yet the house needs some maintenance

The accommodation is really special. The view was very nice and the place itself was large and bright. The terrace with the hammock is also cozy. Youbi was an great host: super helpful and easily accessible. You just need to be aware that you're in an open treehouse. There are large gaps between doors and walls. That means you can't have a problem with different insects. The double bed was protected with a mosquito net, I bought a net in the supermarket for the single bed. Maybe it's different outside of the rainy season, but we would have wanted fly screens or opaque doors.

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich etwas Besonderes. Die Aussicht war sehr schön und die Unterkunft selbst groß und hell. Auch die Terrasse mit der Hängematte ist gemütlich. Youbi war ein toller Gastgeber: Super hilfsbereit und gut erreichbar. Es muss einem nur bewusst sein, dass man sich quasi in einem offenen Baumhaus befindet. Zwischen Türen und Wänden sind große Spalten. D. h. man darf kein Problem mit verschiedenen Insekten haben. Das Doppelbett war mit einem Moskito-Netz geschützt, für das Einzelbett habe ich noch ein Netz im Supermarkt gekauft. Vielleicht ist es außerhalb der Regenzeit anders, aber wir hätten uns Fliegengitter bzw. undurchlässige Türen gewünscht.

Very well positioned in Santa Teresa. Nearby beach entrance, nearby restaurants and grocery store. On the other hand, despite the many reviews that were talking about, I was really surprised by the stiffness of the coast to get to Airbnb. We had a 4X4, but mainly wanted to get around on foot and the coast is really not pleasant to climb. Also, it's not clear with the photos, but the structure of the space leaves a little to be desired… There are several large holes that allow ants to come into the space as they see fit. There are also likely to find locks and other insects there. If you stay a few nights, it's not the end of the world, but when you stay for a long time, it ends up being a little tanning. I was also disappointed to notice that the shower water is only flowing outside the home. On the other hand, Youbi responds to questions very quickly and is very kind. Wifi and air conditioning worked well

Très bien positionné dans Santa Teresa. Une entrée à la plage tout près, restaurants et épicerie à proximité. Par contre, malgré les nombreux commentaires qui en parlaient, j’ai vraiment été surpris de la raideur de la côte pour se rendre au airbnb. Nous avions un 4X4, mais voulions principalement nous déplacer à pieds et la côte est vraiment pas plaisante à monter. De plus, ce n’est pas clair avec les photos, mais la structure du logement laisse un peu à désirer… Il y a plusieurs gros trous qui permettent aux fourmis de venir dans le logement comme bon leur semblent. Vous y trouverez aussi probablement coquerelles et autres insectes. Si vous restez quelques nuits, ce n’est pas la fin du monde, mais lorsqu’on reste longtemps, ça fini par être un peu tannant. J’ai aussi été déçu de remarquer que l’eau de la douche fait seulement couler à l’extérieur du logement. Par contre, Youbi répond très rapidement aux questions et est très gentil. Wifi et air climatisé fonctionnaient biens

I can only say good things about Youbi and his place. The place is on a hill with a stunning view of the Ocean !. It's a very rustic place built with logs, in very serene and green surroundings. You get the living-in-the-woods experience !  The wi-fi was good and I could remotely work without any issues. The place is about 10mins walk to the beach. It's better to have a 4WD or an ATV, as the walk up to the house is on a steep slope. Youbi is a very kind person, super helpful and responsive, a rarity in the Airbnb world. He came to pick us up and show the directions to his place when we arrived. He dropped us to the shuttle stop on the day we were leaving. He dropped and picked me up from the place where I rented the ATV. . He personally took me and introduced me to the guy who rented the surf boards. I can go on and on. He is always available, helpful and cheerful. I will without any hesitation stay again at his place when I visit Santa Teresa again !

Youbi was so incredibly helpful, caring, and communicative. I would highly recommend this place. I initially thought it was beachfront, and this place is not beachfront. So if you are expecting that, you will be disappointed. However, it is up a hill a few minute walk, and has an incredible ocean view. As long as that is your expectation you will be happy with the place. And Youbi could not have been a more helpful host.

It complied with what was promised, although if or if you need 4x4 for access to the place due to a busy street

Cumplió con lo que se prometió, aunque si o si se necesita 4x4 para el acceso al lugar debido a una calle con bastante pendiente

Staying at Youbi's Santa Teresa property was a memorable experience. The host, Youbi, was remarkably attentive, promptly addressing any concerns and providing invaluable local recommendations. The highlight is undoubtedly the stunning ocean view; waking up to it was surreal. Inside, there's ample space, and a basic kitchen catering to essential needs. The place exudes rustic charm, reminiscent of a cabin. There are gaps between the doors, walls, and windows that might invite a few insects, but the effective air conditioning ensured comfort. A heads-up for future guests: an all-wheel-drive vehicle is a must due to the steep, unpaved approach. Despite this, the beauty and hospitality make it wholly worthwhile. For an authentic Costa Rican experience with an exceptional host, Youbi's place is a top choice.

Youbi, she was super friendly and attentive the whole time. The view of the house is incredible and it is very comfortable.

Youbi, fue súper amable y atento todo el tiempo. La vista de la casa es increíble y se vive muy agusto.

Youbi helped us with everything very well, a very nice host!

Youbi heeft ons overal erg goed mee geholpen, een erg fijne host!

Lovely place to stay. Youbi was excellent in giving recommendation and advice for staying in Santa Teresa. As mentioned in previous reviews, the road to get in is very steep so be prepared but nothing we didn’t already expect. Would recommend!

Youbi's place is very special. It is located on a hill with fantastic ocean view in the middle of the countryside. Howler monkeys have moved right next to the terrace in the trees. You are in nature where there are animals and insects. In the evening, a raccoon plundered the trash can. We were all very exciting and impressive for us. We would immediately choose this place again and can highly recommend it.

Die Unterkunft von Youbi ist etwas ganz besonderes. Sie liegt an einem Hügel mit fantastischem Meerblick mitten im Grünen. Brüllaffen sind direkt neben der Terrasse in den Bäume vorbei gezogen. Man ist in der Natur wo es Tiere und Insekten gibt. Am Abend kam ein Waschbär den Mülleimer plündern. Für uns war das alles sehr spannend und beeindruckend. Wir würde sofort wieder diese Unterkunft wählen und können sie sehr weiterempfehlen.

Youbi is extremely friendly and a good communicator. He is accommodating and helpful.

Very good communication upon arrival and during the stay. Good location in Santa Teresa, with the possibility of walking or, to access the more distant beaches (Playa Hermosa + ++), with the EasyHop bus service to book the day before by whatapp! Spacious, clean accommodation, however some maintenance work would be needed.

Très bonne communication à l’arrivée et pendant le séjour. Bon emplacement dans Santa Teresa, avec la possibilité de se déplacer à pied ou, pour accéder aux plages plus lointaines (Playa Hermosa +++), avec le service de bus EasyHop à réserver la veille par whatapp ! Logement spacieux, propre, cependant quelques travaux d’entretien seraient nécessaires.

It is an excellent accommodation, a private paradise, super nice!!

Es un alojamiento excelente, un paraiso privado, super lindo!!

Great place to get away. Would stay again

Youbi’s place was charming with beautiful views and had everything we needed for cooking, shower etc. However some things in the house need repaired. It should be noted that the street is so steep that accessing the airbnb without a car or ATV is extremely difficult.

Youbi is a very chill and friendly guy. He was always very quick to respond to any questions I had. The nature surrounding the Airbnb was amazing, seeing different birds, squirrels, lizards, cats, and even monkeys all from the outside deck. The only downside of this Airbnb is the great hill leading up to it, my boyfriend and I rented an atv while we were there and that seemed like the best way to get around. If you’re planning on traveling without a vehicle it might be tough for you. Overall had a 5/5 experience and would come back to Youbi’s place for sure!

Youbi was an amazing host. Kind, responsive, and always willing to help. The property is beautiful and quiet. Feels like your own little paradise.

Excellent!!!! Youbi's place was spotless for our week of surfing in Santa Teresa! The outdoor terrace with the furniture is a real plus, and allowed us to enjoy the magnificent sea views! The icing on the cake, Youbi is adorable! He made us feel warmly and gave us a lot of helpful tips for our stay! His kindness and kindness made our stay perfect! I would highly recommend it!

Excellent !!!! Le logement de Youbi était impeccable pour notre semaine de Surf à Santa Teresa ! La terrasse extérieure avec le mobilier est un vrai plus, et nous a permis de profiter de la vue magnifique sur la mer ! Cerise sur le gâteau, Youbi est adorable ! Il nous a accueilli chaleureusement et nous a donné tout un tas de conseils utiles pour notre séjour ! Sa bienveillance et sa gentillesse nous ont parfait notre séjour ! Je recommande très largement !

The place overall was good. The location was excellent! Unfortunately it’s just not super secure nor private. There are other rentals on the property close by. The doors and windows have large cracks in the frame (therefore the bug net). Again, the walking distance location made up for all that!

We spent 8 amazing days in Santa Teresa at Youbi’s apartment. It felt more like staying with friends than at an Airbnb. Youbi is a great host and gave us lots of helpful recommendations where to go or eat in Santa Teresa. The House is located on a steep hill which is a bit tricky to drive if you have a car without 4x4. Youbi picked us up at the beginning of the road and showed us how to drive the car up so we didn’t have any further issues with that during our stay. You can also just walk down the hill to the beach or a small supermarket in 10-15min. The apartment was as described and the view was really amazing. The bed is very comfortable and Youbi also organized a baby bed for our son he really liked to sleep in. The house is surrounded by nature and the walls and doors are not completely sealed, so inevitably some insects were here and there but that didn’t bother us much. It’s a great place to stay in Santa Teresa :)

Youbi is one of the best hosts I’ve ever stayed with. He was there to greet us upon arrival, gave extremely helpful recommendations and information about the area, and was super quick to respond to any question we had. The place is exactly as pictured online, and the view is literally unbeatable for sunsets. It was peaceful, private, and clean. The place is up a pretty steep/rocky hill, so a 4x4 car was pretty useful in getting to and from the main road that runs through town. Be wary, there are bugs as you are up near the trees, but he has a bug zapper and mosquito net around the bed in the apartment which was great. Overall a great stay in Santa Teresa!

Simple but very nice view and amazing host.

I cannot recommend this property enough!! Our experience at this Air B&B was our favorite part of our trip to Santa Teresa. The beach view is breathtaking. The space is very clean and the patio is wonderful. Our favorite part was the MONKEYS!!!! Yubi told us that everyday the monkeys come climbing through the trees. We saw at least 20 on many different occasions. The property is secluded and private but a very short walk to town which was great. Yubi is one of the nicest owners we have met. He greeted us at the drive way and was very helpful in showing us the property and telling us about Santa Teresa. He had wonderful recommendations and knew about beach spots that we would never have found if not for him. I wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else. Absolutely wonderful stay. We will be back

A real favorite for this place, a little piece of paradise perched with stunning views of the Pacific. Youbi is very available and has a lot of good advice for apprentices surfing. Definitely recommend and we will come back for sure if we come back through Santa Teresa!

Véritable coup de cœur pour ce lieu, petit coin de paradis perché avec une vue imprenable sur le pacifique. Youbi est très disponible et a pas mal de bon conseils à donner pour les apprentis surfer. Je recommande définitivement et nous y reviendrons pour sûr si nous repassons par Santa Teresa !

Everything is great! The only thing you have to have to have a car or rent cuatri because you have 2 blocks up to get to the house.

Excelente todo! Lo único que tenes que tener auto o alquilar cuatri porque tenes 2 cuadras de subida para llegar a la casa.

Beautiful home with great views of the sea and the sunset. Everything was perfect, I would definitely go back there.

Superbe logement avec vue imprenable sur la mer et le coucher du soleil. Tout était parfait, j’y retournerai certainement.

The accommodation is rustic and super cozy. From the bed in the morning you look directly into the beautiful sunrise. From the terrace you have a view of the sea and can watch the unique sunsets. Youbi has put a lot of thought into the nature ... so you can watch monkeys and many other animals directly from the house. Youbi is very warm and a great host who has many tips ready. I will be very happy to come back!

The views here were spectacular, we got to wake up to the ocean everyday. The space had everything you needed for day to day living and we were generally comfortable.

Youbi was an AMAZING host!! Unnamed kindness, advice and help with everything. The place is beautiful, breathtaking sunsets, you feel at home but in nature. It's a real must-see. we also had the chance to see monkeys and raccoons which adds a more notable touch. We hope you're as excited as we are.

Youbi a été un hôte INCROYABLE !! D'une gentillesse sans nom, des conseils et de l'aide pour tout. L'endroit est superbe, des couchers de soleil à couper le souffle, on se sent comme chez soi mais dans la nature. Le lieu est vraiment incontournable. nous avons également eu la chance de voir des singes et des ratons laveurs ce qui ajoute un plus notable. N'hésitez pas une seule seconde !

The best thing about the place is the host, Youbi! Super friendly, of those people who make you feel at home and very comfortable, and the man is super genuine too, you can tell that he doesn't do things by commitment. I recommend the place to those looking for value for their money and above all PEACE and quiet! I'm very sensitive to noise and the truth is that this aspect was excellent, only the sea could be heard in the background 🙂 The very tuanis views of the sea and the place is very safe, going out to the main street there is a supermarket 100 meters away and several good restaurants. I would go back right here without looking for another place, that's a fact.

Lo mejor del lugar es el host, Youbi! Súper amable, de esas personas que lo hacen sentir a uno como en casa y bien cómodo, y el hombre es súper genuino también, se nota que no hace las cosas por compromiso. Recomiendo el lugar a quienes busquen valor por su dinero y por sobre todo PAZ y tranquilidad! Yo soy muy delicado con el ruido y la verdad estuvo excelente este aspecto, solo el mar se escuchaba al fondo 🙂 Las vistas muy tuanis del mar y el lugar muy seguro, saliendo a la calle principal hay un súper a los 100 metros y varios buenos restaurantes. Volvería aquí mismo sin buscar otro lugar, eso es un hecho.

Beautiful studio and the view is just amazing. Very tranquil atmosphere overall - we were very happy there! Youbi was an exceptional host and made sure we had everything we needed.
