We live in Costa Rica, and this place is a haven of peace far from the capital. The monkeys came to say hello to us. The view, the decor, the swimming pool, and Fiona's kindness and speed—everything was very positive. We will be back! Thank you so much for having us! 🙏🏻👍🏻❤️

Nestled in the heights of the Mar a Mar residence, the accommodation is a small haven of peace. Quad/motorcycle required. I'd go back the next time I visit Santa Teresa.

Absolutely loved this stay! From pre-check-in to check-in and check-out, every detail was seamless and easy. The host was highly responsive, helpful, and made the entire experience feel effortless. The stay was even better than I could have imagined. The location was convenient, and the gated security made the property feel very safe and secure. The kitchen was also extremely well stocked with pots, pans, a blender, and everything we needed to feel right at home. The only small suggestion would be to provide dishwasher pods for easier cleanup, but overall, this was an incredible stay. I would absolutely recommend this property and hope to return next season!

We had a fabulous stay at this home. This was our 5th visit to the area and we keep coming back to Mar-A-Mar. The homes (like this one) are fantastic, the host is great, beach and restaurants are close and we love the monkeys, pool, and balconies. This property is up a very steep hill so you may want a car/ATV/SxS, but we walked it a few times and it’s a fun challenge if you are able. You can’t go wrong with this property, it’s wonderful.

We had a lovely stay at the villa. The space felt private yet was so conveniently located. It was perfect for our family. Thank you Fiona and team!!

Big hill! Very nice spot.

Beautiful, peaceful place in a great location The apartment is super lovely - beautifully furnished, has big open windows, and we really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The view is stunning, the pool was great, and the proximity to town and the surf was incredibly convenient. We also really appreciated being able to book just a few hours in advance. The only note is that the place didn’t feel fully prepared when we arrived. It was nothing major, but it did affect the first impression slightly. With a little more attention to preparation before check-in, this would easily be an excellent stay.

Incredible villa overlooking the ocean, it is a dream in terms of interior design, location, atmosphere. The hosts are super friendly and available. The only thing I would add is that driving up there can be challenging for some people, as well as walking from the house to the parking lot (it's definitely not synonymous with accessibility), but if you ask me, the view is worth it! You need a powerful vehicle or 4x4. Also keep in mind that the pool is shared and is located in another sector of the neighborhood :) Excellent stay, thank you very much!

Great stay!

We loved our stay in Casa Azul! Fiona was very friendly and helpful. She met us in person at check-in and was available throughout giving us great recommendations for a surf instructor and for a nearby nature preserve. The climb up is very steep so renting a car with 4 wheel drive as they recommend is a must. We walked down and back up on foot a couple times for the exercise, but most of the time we used our car to get down since the climb was not easy. We really enjoyed relaxing in the balcony surrounded by nature. The views were amazing and we got to see so many beautiful birds and even a family of monkeys. It was truly paradise.

A great Airbnb to stay at in Santa Teresa!! Would definitely go back. The view and deck are amazing. The house is in a nice part of town and the beach nearby (beach access by Ani's bowls) is very pretty and a great vibe at sunset. Kitchen is well stocked. Fiona the property manager is very responsive and helpful - she helped us organize transport and ATVs while in town. Also I know several reviews mention this, but it's absolutely essential to have a car or ATV to access this place. The hill is only good for a workout but should not be attempted at midday!!

Thank you so much to Alexander and Fiona for the wonderful space and for being so communicative and helpful!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Azul with our family. Fiona was an absolute gem and was great at communicating and helping us arrange activities/providing recommendations. She greatly enhanced the experience. We enjoyed monkey, bird, coatimundi, iguana and squirrel sightings from the deck. Sunsets were stunning as well. As many have noted, the road up is very steep and may present accessibility issues for some. In addition, the pool is located at the bottom of the hill, and we were unable to get down there with our kids (ages 4 and 6) without a vehicle.

Excellent place, very good location, beautiful view. Great house and very good host, Fiona.
