Very good location, close to supermarkets, and with a nice pool. The kitchen is very well equipped with the basics.

Muy buena ubicación, cercano a supermercados y con buena piscina. Está muy bien equipada la cocina con lo básico.

Thank you, Fiorella! I felt right at home. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommended.

Gracias Fiorella! Me sentí como en casa, no puedo esperar para volver, muy recomendable.

A great little paradise, with a very friendly host, super located to the nearest surf beach Playa Carmen and also regarding restaurants and shopping. Nice find, would take again and again. A great oasis to relax by the pool after a day of surfing.

Ein tolles kleines Paradies, mit einer sehr sympathischen Host, super gelegen zum nächsten Surf Strand Playa Carmen und ebenso bzgl Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Schönes Fundstück, würde immer wieder nehmen. Eine tolle Oase zum abspannen am Pool nach einem Surftag.

Fantastic stay in Santa Teresa. Easy location with a car (the driveway/approach is a bit bumpy but totally manageable). The area is very quiet and peaceful, and the kitchen had everything I needed. The host was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond — when the coffee maker stopped working, they replaced it right away. The laundry service was also a huge help during my solo trip. The internet was fast, which was important since I didn’t have much mobile connection in the area. Would 100% recommend!

A wonderful and safe home for our holiday season with wonderful hosts. We would book with Fiorella again in a heartbeat.

Ein wunderschönes und sicheres Zuhause für unsre Ferienzeit mit wunderbaren Gastgebern. Wir würden sofort wieder bei Fiorella buchen.

It is a beautiful place, in the jungle, very complete and comfortable. Close to the beach, although a little far from downtown, ideal to have a car (not necessarily 4x4 but sum)

Es un lugar hermoso, en la selva, muy completo y comodo. Cerca de la playa, aunque alejado un poco del centro, ideal tener auto (no necesariamente 4x4 pero suma)

We loved it, very comfortable and quiet, we didn't have to worry about anything, the pool is beautiful, Fiorella and the husband are super friendly and attentive We will be back a thousand times more

Nos encantó, muy cómodo y tranquilo, no teníamos preocuparnos de nada, la piscina es preciosa, Fiorella y el esposo son súper amables y atentos Volveremos mil veces más

You can only feel comfortable in the accommodation, from the amenities to the location to the super friendly and helpful hostess. We felt at home from the first second. The only note is that you probably need an off-road vehicle as the path to the property is quite bumpy, with no off-road vehicles in the area anyway.

In der Unterkunft kann man sich nur wohlfühlen, von der Ausstattung über die Lage bis hin zur super freundlichen und Hilfsbereiten Gastgeberin. Wir haben uns von der ersten Sekunde an wie zuhause gefühlt. Die einzige Anmerkung ist das man wohl ein Geländefahrzeug braucht da der Weg zur Unterkunft ziemlich holprig ist, wobei man in der Gegend ohne Geländefähiges Fahrzeuge sowieso aufgeschmissen ist.

100/10!! The apartment is "hidden" by palm trees and trees which gives a very intimate look:) The facilities are very accurate to the photos (the kitchen has the necessities, bathroom very well with hot water and good flow, bedding too, safe). The pool, very clean, is a small "haven of peace" where you can meditate in the morning, listen to the birds, iguanas and squirrels. The fan and A/C work perfectly. Cleaning is done every 2 days. On the access side, it's very easy to find but it's better to have a car or an ATV. Carmen Beach is - 500m away, sunsets to see imperatively! Fiorella is super nice, interesting, responsive, advises you lots of things to do and visit, it was a real pleasure to chat with her. Our only regret: leaving. We were able to stay there forever. We can only recommend Perla House and want to come back soon:) See you soon Fiorella, Max and Olivia!

100/10 !! L'appartement est "caché" par des palmiers et arbres ce qui donne un air très intime :) Les installations sont très fidèles aux photos (la cuisine a le nécessaire, salle de bain très bien avec eau chaude et bon débit, literie bien aussi, coffre fort). La piscine, très propre, est un petit "havre de paix" où l'on peut méditer le matin, écouter les oiseaux, les iguanes et écureuils. Le ventilo et A/C marchent parfaitement. Le ménage est fait tous les 2 jours. Côté accès, c'est très facile à trouver mais vaut mieux avoir une voiture ou un quad. Plage Carmen est à - de 500m, couchers de soleils à voir impérativement! Fiorella est super gentille, intéressante, réactive, vous conseille plein de choses à faire et à visiter, c'était un vrai plaisir de discuter avec elle. Notre seul regret: partir. Nous aurons pu y rester pour toujours. Nous ne pouvons que recommander Perla House et souhaitons revenir très vite :) A bientôt Fiorella, Max et Olivia !

Perla House was very peaceful and quiet. A beautiful beach is less than a 10 minute walk. The more popular restaurants were about a 25 minute walk, but I liked being a bit away from the busiest parts of town. The host was also great, very communicative and helpful. Note this is a true studio with one room and a patio. The posting says three beds, but there is one larger bed and a day bed.

It’s very close to the beach. We walked every day into playa Carmen even with a baby. It’s really nice and clean and has everything you need. We loved the hammocks and the pool. The pool is in a lush garden with nice deck chairs and parts with shade. With our baby it was perfect for when we didn’t make it to the beach. Fiorella is also a very kind and sweet host. I could stay there forever honestly.

Especially the location of Perla House is to be emphasized. You can watch birds, iguanas and tree squirrels from the pool and hear the monkeys in the distance - we enjoyed that. In addition, you can walk in 10 minutes on a very nice, quite little visited beach section and in 15-20 in the village. The accommodation in itself is absolutely sufficient, the most necessary is available in the kitchen (good induction stove!) and the shower is hot. As long as you always put everything away, you also get no problems with the ants. Fiorella and her husband are very friendly and reserved and maintain privacy. The only downer was the construction noise next door, but as the area is booming almost everywhere. We enjoyed the 9 days very much!

Besonders die Lage von Perla House ist hervorzuheben. Man kann aus dem Pool heraus Vögel, Leguane und Baumhörnchen beobachten und hört die Affen in der Ferne - das haben wir sehr genossen. Zudem ist man zu Fuß in 10 Minuten an einem sehr schönen, recht wenig besuchten Strandabschnitt und in 15-20 im Ort. Die Unterkunft an sich ist absolut ausreichend, in der Küche das nötigste vorhanden (guter Induktionsherd!) und die Dusche ist heiß. So lange man immer alles wegräumt, bekommt man auch keine Probleme mit den Ameisen. Fiorella und ihr Mann sind sehr freundlich und zurückhaltend und wahren die Privatsphäre. Einziger Wermutstropfen waren die Baustellengeräusche nebenan, aber da die Gegend boomt, wird nahezu überall gebaut. Wir haben die 9 Tage sehr genossen!

Fiorella is very friendly and friendly! The apartment is nice full of birds. It's best to arrive in 4x4 or ATV because the street is in a bad condition and quite steep. Away from the bulla of downtown and you can hear the sea.

Fiorella muy amable y amigable! El apartamento lindo lleno de pajaritos. Mejor llegar en 4x4 o ATV porque la calle esta en mal estado y bastante empinada. Lejos de la bulla del centro y se puede oir el mar.

Fiorella, was a super responsive and friendly host, very accommodating and always happy to help out. Definitely worth a stay if you are looking for a quiet place with a lovely pool and within walking distance of local beaches and town.

Fiorella is helpful and the place is as described. It’s walkable from the main area in Playa Carmen. And, there is a small steep hill to get to the airbnb. In Santa Teresa there are many accommodations with steep hills. This airbnb is great for a quiet place with excellent wifi. I was able to work remotely with no interruptions which was perfect.

Great experience. Clear communication. Space as advertised and clean. Would stay here again. A+.

Fiorella's place is more than what's shown in the photos. The setting is beautiful, you can hear the sea from the house and get to the beach by taking a 5 minute hike. There is a pool available where you can cool off watching the sunset, which is the most! Fiorella is a love for an always very attentive person to make our experience in the place excellent! Always with full disposition and joy. Cleaning is perfect! The location is very good. You have to climb an important slope to get there. The nearby beaches are Playa el Carmen, and Santa Teresa, the sunsets are fantastic from there, and further north is beautiful beach that I recommend!

El alojamiento de Fiorella es más de lo que se ve en las fotos. El entorno es hermoso, se puede escuchar el mar desde la casa y llegar a la playa haciendo una caminata de 5 minutos. Hay disponible una piscina donde te podes refrescar mirando el atardecer que es lo más!. Fiorella es un amor de persona siempre muy atenta para que nuestra experiencia en el lugar sea excelente! siempre con plena disposición y alegría. La limpieza es perfecta! La ubicación es muy buena. Para llegar hay que subir una pendiente importante. Las playas cercanas son playa el carmen, y santa Teresa, los atardeceres son fantásticos desde ahí, y más al norte se encuentra playa hermosa que la recomiendo!

This airbnb was absolutely perfect in an excellent location only 5min walk from the beach, and up a small hill away from the road so we could enjoy the sounds of the nature and waves from our little oasis. The room itself had everything you needed including a small kitchen with fridge, toaster oven, dishes, cutlery and there was an AC in the unit as well. Outside of the room was a perfect little oasis with 2 hammocks and a cute table for eating or for working remotely (as I was doing). The wifi signal was excellent across the whole property so you could even sit by the pool and work from there for a change of scenery. I would absolutely stay here again!!

Santa Teresa is a booming community. Construction will be a part of your stay and noisy. That being said, Perla House is surrounded by beautiful property and a lovely oasis.

Great stay, clean, quiet and close to the beach. Swimming pool is great! I'm really doing it again! Thanks to Fiorella for her advice and investment!

Super séjour, propre, calme et proche de la plage. La piscine est super ! Je recommence vraiment ! Merci à Fiorella pour ses conseils et son investissement !

Super nice place with everything we needed. Pool was perfect, Fiorella and Max live just upstairs and were very welcoming and helpful. They gave us tips of places to see and things to do. Mal pais is a bit outside the hustle and bustle of Santa Teresa, but just a 10 minute walk away - which we appreciated! We’ll be back!

My Fiance and I stayed at Fiorella's place for 2 weeks and we really enjoy it. The unit was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed, including a small yet lovely garden (nice plus). The location is convenient as it's close to the center yet away from the dust and the busy road. We had a small misunderstanding about the check out time, but other than that everything went smoothly. Fiorella is a great host and I highly recommend her place :)

We liked the apartment very much overall, Fiorella is a very warm and attentive hostess. The terrace and pool were also great. In the kitchen there is everything you need to prepare simple meals. The house is a little "hidden" on a slope and the path up is adventurous. Possible with a two-wheel drive, but the car should already have enough hp and be a little higher.. ;)

Das Apartment hat uns insgesamt sehr gut gefallen, Fiorella ist eine sehr herzliche und aufmerksame Gastgeberin. Toll waren auch die Terrasse und der Pool. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden, was man benötigt, um einfache Mahlzeiten zuzubereiten. Das Haus liegt etwas "versteckt" an einem Hang und der Weg hoch ist abenteuerlich. Mit einem Zweiradantrieb machbar, aber das Auto sollte schon genug PS haben und etwas höher liegen.. ;)

The place is really nice, quite and had all necessary appliances to stay.  The communication was great, definitely we will come back.  Sedan car could be a little bit uncomfortable to get into the place, so I would recommend 4x4.

We arrived on a weekend, so rather relaxing and quiet although close to Santa Teresa ( you can walk there). On Monday morning there was work just next door, it's good to know even though we didn't mind since we were leaving. The studio is spacious and clean, good bedding. Sdb with very hot water, it feels good because it's rather rare at the CR. Good ventilation at night, no need for the fan or AC. Very nice hammock area on the terrace. Only two beaks work in the kitchen and it lacks a little equipment!! Disappointment however on the pool side because the photos no longer correspond to reality, any lack of maintenance but for two nights we did. The studio is a little dark to my liking but it's personal and energetically it wasn't wow. Value for money not exceptional. Quite discreet, helpful and very accommodating host.

Nous sommes arrivé un week-end, donc plutôt reposant et calme bien que tout proche de Santa Teresa ( on peut y aller à pieds). Le lundi matin il y avait des travaux juste à côté c’est bon de le savoir même si cela ne nous a pas dérangé puisque nous quittions. Le studio est spacieux et propre, bonne literie. Sdb avec eau bien chaude, ça fait du bien car c’est plutôt rare au CR. Bonne aération la nuit, même pas besoin du ventilateur ni de l’ AC. Espace hamacs très sympa sur la terrasse. Seuls deux becs fonctionnent dans la cuisine et elle manque un peu d’équipement!! Déception cependant côté piscine car les photos ne correspondent plus à la réalité, tout manque d’entretien mais pour deux nuits, nous nous en sommes passés. Le studio est un peu sombre à mon goût mais c’est personnel et énergétiquement ce n’était pas waawww. Rapport qualité/ prix pas exceptionnel. Hôte plutôt discret, serviable et très arrangeant.

Gentile Signora Talia buongiorno, mi spiace molto leggere la sua recensione, del resto è la prima volta che un ospite si lamenta. Le foto sono state scattate in estate, adesso siamo in piena stagione delle piogge e ahimè tutto si copre di verde, sa com'è, siamo nel mezzo della jungla ... Il Green Studio non è buio, è immerso nella vegetazione e nelle giornate di solleone offre il meglio di se ed è molto ricercato. In cucina poi ci sono suppellettili più che sufficienti perché due ospiti possano cucinare e sfamarsi. Terrò conto dei suoi preziosi consigli e apporteremo tutte le modifiche suggerite. Mille grazie ...

Excellent attention. Access is completely possible without 4x4. Super clean, tidy and safe. Would always come back

Excelente atención. El acceso es completamente posible sin 4x4. Súper limpio, ordenado y seguro. Volvería siempre

Perla House is an oasis engulfed in the jungle. Really enjoyed my stay here, very zen. The pool was amazing—under the hot sun or under the moon. Hours pass by lounging in the hammock listening to the jungle sounds. The walk up the hill is absolutely doable on foot. Both Fiorella and her husband are amazing humans, so sweet and kind. It was hard to leave!

Pros: Very nice studio apartment as well as the pool. Close to downtown and beach. Cons: Accessible only for tall vehicles, the pool has no light, no coffee maker, no cooking items (spatula, etc.)

Pros: Apartamento tipo studio muy bonito, así como la piscina. Cerca del centro y la playa. Cons: Accesible únicamente para vehículos altos, la piscina no tiene luz, no hay coffee maker, no habían artículos para cocinar (espátula, etc)

Great value to stay in a more relaxed and quite area but still really close to Santa Teresa! Amazing privacy and everyday everything was kept clean.

The place is super cute and close to the beach... Marco was very kind. Definitely a place to go back.

El lugar es super lindo y cerca de la playa... Marco fue muy amable. Un lugar sin duda alguna para volver.

A lovely apartment with a nice and calm pool area.

Nadia's place is comfortable, clean, and very quiet at night. It was about 10 minutes walk to the beach, a little steep, but in Carmen/Santa Teresa it is a perk to be off the main road a bit to get away from dust and noise. Within a few minutes you arrive at a gorgeous beach. You can get to the property without 4x4 but the vehicle shouldn't be low to the ground..needs to be an suv at least.

We stayed 3 nights in the place and everything was fine , the accommodation is like the pictures, very nice patio , the balcony was what we liked the most, with hammocks and a nice view . The kitchen is stocked , and everything was clean

Nos hospedamos 3 noches en el lugar y todo estuvo bien , el hospedaje es como las imágenes, muy lindo patio , el balcón fue lo que mas nos gustó , con hamacas y linda vista . La cocina equipada , y todo estaba limpio

Excellent location, a very quiet place to rest near Playa del Carmen.

Excelente ubicación, un lugar muy tranquilo para descansar cerca de playa del Carmen.

We stayed only one night at the place, very beautiful and quiet to relax. 👌

Estuvimos solo una noche en el lugar, muy bonito y tranquilo para descansar. 👌

Amazing Spot!! Will definitely check in again. For a couple or two friends it’s the perfect spot to relax, if you got the car then you can drive up and down the hill quite easily, the road up is a Bit steep, not all cars will make it up, and if it’s during the rainy season then for sure need at 4x4. However my car is a simple 2x4, with a small engine and I made it up there okay, just had to drive carefully and slowly. The view is great, the pool is dope, and it is legitimately close to almost all u need. Super recommended!

The apartment is comfortable and has a good bed. There is a small pool and the vibe is very calm. There are three apartments and a place for two cars. At the moment, access to the apartments is quite complicated. The owner told me that this year they are going to renew the trail

El appartamento es cómodo y tiene buena cama. Hay una pequeña piscina y el ambiente es muy tranquilo. Hay tres apartamentos y lugar para dos coches. En el momento el acceso a los apartamentos esta bastante complicado. El dueño me dijo que este año van a renovar el sendero

This place was amazing! I was introduced to the Airbnb by Marco, he had gone above and beyond to help me get around. The Airbnb had AC, a comfortable bed and a kitchen. It is very far up a steep hill, I suggest 4 wheel drive only. It is conveniently located in that it is a mile or two from a busy intersection on the beach. There you can sign up for tour guides or rent an ATV or check out a surf shop, etc. My only issue was that when I first arrived the front door was open for a bit while I was speaking with Marco and a few mosquitoes got in and terrorized me for the night lol but what do you expect in the jungle? I would definitely stay again, even just for the pool.

Every nice place, comfortable,  very near the beach, fresh and easy to find

Nice place to relax, with hammocks in the shade and a great pool! But you need a good 4x4 car, the road is pretty bumpy, and the nice beaches are a few minutes drive away.

Super nice, very clean, comfortable and quiet place close to everything!

Super bel endroit très propre confortable et tranquil a proximitée de tout !

Great place for the value. Be careful with directions as the automated address that airbnb gives could be wrong.

Very nice apartment and very clean! Access to a swimming pool and 10 minutes walk from the beach.

Très belle appartement et très propre! Accès à une piscine et à 10minutes à pied de la plage.

If you're thinking about it and have a 4x4 just book, no problem getting up the small hill, but a car won't do, if you're active walking to town and down/up the hill is just good exercise anyways lol.. Nadia's husband is a calm Italian guy who's willing to always help, chill place, beautiful pool.. Pura Vida forsure

Super beautiful, nice pool lots of amenities and space

Super beau, belle piscine beaucoup de commodités et d’espace

Very cozy place to relax from all the noise from the main road ! Very clean condo. The only thing I could say is its better to have a 4x4 to reach the condo, but we park down the road and walk a bit ! Well recommended.

If Perla house has availability. Do yourself a favor and book it. Originally my buddy and I were supposed to stay 3 nights. We enjoyed it so much; that we decided to book an additional 3 nights. Absolutely gorgeous, well ran and friendly air bnb. Genuinely the first time I've stayed somewhere with nothing to complain about. 10/10 would and will stay again. :)

A peaceful and quiet place, a lot of nature and very clean,  the cleaning service gave it every day

Un lugar pacifico y tranquilo mucha naturaleza y bien limpio,  el servicio de limpieza lo daban todos los días

This studio is amazing. Comfortable bed and beautiful patio for relaxing. Lovely pool area and a building of only 3 units so very peaceful.

Nice place with everything you need. It's important to note that a high car is required and access to the garage is not easy with a large car. The rest, all good.

Lugar bonito y con todo lo necesario. Es importante tomar en cuenta que es necesario un carro alto y que el acceso al garage no es sencillo con un carro grande. El resto, todo bien.

My partner and I had the whole space to ourselves! I loved the fact that it had an outdoor space with hammocks and a little kitchen! Good value.

Very nice place. The street to the apartment is adventurous but amazing view from the pool. Highly recommended

Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Die Straße zum Apartment ist abenteuerlich aber wahnsinnige Aussicht vom Pool. Nur weiter zu empfehlen

Nadia’s place was very nice and as many others have stated, you will need a 4x4 to get to as it’s quite the hill!  Aside from some communication issues that hindered our Check-In process that could have been easily mitigated, it was a nice stay.

This is a nice place and walking distance to the beach. 4x4 needed to get to the house. Pool was a nice feature and gardens around the pool area and outside the bedroom are pretty!

Very good place, it has everything you need and is well located. We'll be back.

Muy buen lugar, tiene todo lo necesario y está bien ubicado. Volveremos.

The room was well equipped, super clean, and comfortable. The property and view is beautiful. The host (Marco) was extremely accommodating m, and met us on short notice. We were very grateful for the experience, and I would highly recommend this place.

The place was clean and the host was helpful. The road was not in good shape and it was farther from the beach than we expected. The host was thoughtful and responsible and compensated us a free night because the pool was not available

Nadia is a great communicator and was able to accommodate me last minute on the same day just hours before I wanted to check in. The place is in a great area tucked away from town but still very close to all your needs. Highly recommend staying here!

Exceptional place with close but instant response to requests. The studio is perfect, a friendly hideaway surrounded by greenery, super comfy beds and very nice pool at the end of the day. Pleasant surprise: we clean it every day... We'll be back tomorrow morning!

Endroit exceptionnel avec réponse près qu’instantanée aux demandes. Le studio est parfait, un refuge sympathique entouré de verdure, lits super confortables et piscine très appréciable en fin de journée. Agréable surprise: on y fait le ménage quotidiennement... Nous y retournerions demain matin!

We stayed in Nadias place for 3 nights and really enjoyed it! The place was super clean and smelled nice. It got cleaned daily! The pool was perfect! Allthough a bit hot to use during the day! Pool side was perfect for sunset and morning yoga - with a beautiful jungel view! The iguanas, esepcially Frank, was nice and welcomming. Marco and Nadia was very helpful and easy to communicate with! There is a bit of walk from town, but we managed good without a car. Taxis are easy to get, but its also just a nice walk home. We wish we would have stayed longer!

Was a great private space with nice pool to chill in.

If you want a perfectly relaxing tropical location, this is the place to stay. Marco and Nadia were great hosts, and the studio is clean and beautiful. We are already talking about coming again.

Comfortable, clean. relaxing studio apartment for a couple. We truly enjoyed the location and the pool for chilling. A great place to drop your bags and go surfing or daytrips to Manzanillo or Montezuma/Tambor. You might want to bring a lighter for the gas stove, lids for pots and a coffee maker, but those are first world issues... lol. Make sure you have a 4 X 4 to get there and explore.

The place is gorgeous, honestly. A perfect base for relaxation by the pool with an incredible, breathtaking jungle view with ocean sounds in the background. Graciously accepted our bags for storage prior to arrival. For accessibility just fyi to future travellers the place is up a hill on a dirt road that is quite steep at the top.

Really enjoyed our stay. The private pool is the perfect way to cool off in the heat! Marco was helpful and showed us a map and books about the area. Great spot to stay.

This place is incredibly welcoming, beautiful, cozy, and clean. The hosts Marco and Nadia are considerate and guide us as soon as we arrive the activities we want to do and the type of experience we want to have. They are totally available during our stay for questions or anything else. A big A+ for this apartment and its endearing people 🌈

Cet endroit est incroyablement accueillant, magnifique, confortable et propre. Les hôtes soit Marco et Nadia sont prévenant et nous orientent dès notre arrivé vers les activités que nous souhaitons faire et le type d’expérience que nous désirons vivre. Ils sont totalement disponible durant notre séjour pour des questions ou autres. Un gros A+ pour cet appartement et ses personnes attachantes 🌈

Marco is a host very sympathic ! We have had a very good experience at the Perla House !!

This place would be great if you stayed for at least three nights to take advantage of the beauty and truly relax.

Nadia´s place is a great find.  It is peaceful, quiet and in a beautiful forest.  The unit is really comfortable and the pool is great, too.  Lucas was also very helpful and attentive.  We highly recommend this place.

Thank you so much Nadia and Marco! We loved spending our time in Mal Pais/ Santa Teresa at the Perla House. We accidentally arrived a bit early and Marco let us drop our bags off and have a dip in the pool. He gave us great tips for getting into town ( about a lovely 10 minute walk along the beach), and good places to eat, as well as rent surfboards. We loved laying in the hammocks and watching the iguanas hang out in the front yard. Thank you again for a wonderful stay and we will be back!

Excellent place. Comfortable, clean room, with equipped kitchen and good  location.

Excelente lugar. Habitación cómodo, limpia, con cocina equipada y buena  ubicación.

This place is amazing! First of all, our hosts were perfect. They were very helpful (and hands-on!) in helping us navigate the area and getting us settled in. The property is crawling with iguanas and they are interesting to watch (there was one that always sunned by the pool, whom we named Frank). At night you can hear the desultory howls of the howler monkeys from the jungle. All of the locals travel by dirt bike or ATV, and there are ATVs for rent in town (which is 100% worth the price, IMO). Highly recommended!

overall we really enjoyed Perla house. it was a bit difficult to find at first but a beautiful space.

everything was amazing and the place was spotless. we wish we could have stayed longer and brought this little gem to our next destination

As expected by the description. Pool and outdoor shower were great! A little ways from the beach and/or downtown but great spot. Secluded and private, clean and comfortable. Very nice!

The place is intimate, surrounded by nature, perfect for disconnecting from the city. You can hear the sea and many animals. The room is very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Marco is very attentive and provides excellent treatment. Very close to downtown and the beach, highly recommended.

El lugar es intimo, rodeado de naturaleza, perfecto para desconectarse de la ciudad. Se puede escuchar el mar y muchos animales. La habitación muy cómoda, limpia y bien equipada. Marco es muy atento y brinda un trato excelente. Muy cerca del centro y de la playa, super recomendado.

Everything was just as advertised. The property is absolutely gorgeous. The outdoor space is exceptionally well kept. The swimming pool is a blessing on a hot day (everyday). Overall, one of the best Airbnbs I've stayed in. A very easy recommendation. Marco was very friendly, and helped us find all the local hotspots. If I'm ever in Mal Pais again, I know where I'll be staying.

Nadia and Marco are GREAT hosts. Their place is lovely, with a pool that has an amazing view. The room is very stylish and comfortable, loved the shower (not everywhere in Costa Rica do you find hot and cold water temperature control, theirs has it and made a HUGE difference) and it was so nice to have A/C after 3.5 weeks without it. (I know, I know, spoiled Americans LOL!) The outdoor space has two hammocks and a seating area just for you, which is a plus. We also had our laundry done on site, super helpful when on the road for a long time. All in all, loved this place and would stay again.

Very nice and clean place, great location.

Lugar muy bonito y limpio, excelente ubicación.

This place is amazing and all we needed. Located very close to the beach and cute little cafes and restaurants. The place itself is relaxing and very comfortable! Marco was great host and a pleasure to talk to!! Will stay here evey time I can !

Great place!!! Thanks for the hospitality!!!

A perfect place! Lots of nature, it's near to town and the beach, you can walk but I recommend renting a car. Nadia and Marcos are very attentive. I stayed in this room for 27 days and I'm sure I chose the best option. It was perfect!

Room is spacious and clean. There's clean every day. Many thanks also to Carlos who cares about all the needs. The house is a new and well-maintained house. There is a very well  equipped kitchen. In the room, there is air and a fan. You can hear the ocean and observe many animals. I think from the rooms above there are views of the Mär. It's located about a hundred meters from downtown Santa Teresa. No need to drive, exep for people with disabilities. Car or ATV rental is a good idea to explore the beautiful setting. It's a safe place. We recommend this place. 

La habitación es amplia y limpia. Cada dia hay limpieza. Muchas gracias también a Carlos que se preocupa de todas las nececidades. La casa es nueva y en buen mantenemiento. Hay una cocina muy bien  equipada. En la habitación hay aire y abanico. Se puede escuchar el mar y observar muchos animales. Creo que desde las habitación de arriba hay vistas del Mär. Está ubicada a unos cien metros del centro de Santa Teresa. No hace falta carro, exepto para personas descapacitadas. Rentar un carro o un quad es buena idea para explorer el entorno bonito. Es un lugar seguro. Recomendamos este lugar.
