Just a great place. Communication was seamless. The house is gorgeous. Would book again!

The place is the same as in the pictures. The private pool is the bonus you need. Everything was very clean and it's easy to access. Only a few meters from the beach. We went with children and it's very safe for them. I recommend it.

El lugar es igual a las fotos. La piscina privada es el plus que se necesita. Todo estaba muy limpio y es fácil accesar. A solo unos metros de la playa. Fuimos con niños y es demasiado seguro para ellos. Lo recomiendo.

A very safe space, ideal for families, close to everything, and the host is always very friendly

Un espacio muy seguro, ideal para familias, cerca de todo, y el anfitrión muy amable siempre

Impeccable place, very comfortable. Michelle's service was excellent. The whole family had a great time.

Lugar impecable, muy cómodo. La atención de Michelle fue excelente. Toda la familia la pasó muy bien.

It’s just like the photos show. You’ll need a car or an ATV to get around, but exploring the area is straightforward, and everything is quite spacious and convenient. The dividing wall doesn’t provide as much privacy as we had hoped.

A place full of tranquility and nature. We had a beautiful and relaxing stay, and the host provided the best service I've ever experienced.

Un lugar lleno de tranquilidad y naturaleza, pasamos una estadía bella y relajante y el anfitrión con la mejor atención que he conocido

Nice house. Thank you for letting us stay there.

Mooi huis bedankt dat we er konden verblijven.

Great location, great experience, recommended

מיקום מעולה חוויה מעולה מומלץ

The house is beautiful. Michelle provided very good directions to get there and enter the accommodation. The place is very quiet.

La casa es hermosa, muy buena explicación de Michelle para llegar e ingresar al alojamiento, muy tranquilo el lugar

It's an excellent option to stay in Mal País, super close to everything—restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets—and the nearby beaches are spectacular. The condominium is private, safe, quiet, and very spacious for 6 people; it is excellent. Communication is excellent, and the host is always attentive.

Es una excelente opción para hospedarse en Mal País, súper cerca de todo, restaurantes, cafeterías, supermercados y las playas cercanas son espectaculares. El condominio es privado, seguro, tranquilo y muy amplio para 6 personas es excelente. La comunicación es muy buena y el anfitrión siempre atento.

Great place to relax and enjoy. Loved the tucked into jungle feel. House exactly as depicted in photos. Modern, clean, private. Super mini gripe would be to keep stock of basics in house (paper towels, salt, pepper, etc). But overall, could not have been more pleased with the place. Was awesome home base to recharge between surf sessions. \m/

If you're looking for quality and tranquility Go to Evi's place!

Si vous avez envie de qualité et de calme Allez chez Evi !

This was the perfect place to stay. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as expected. The check-in process was seamless, and the team was available and responsive throughout our entire stay. Housekeeping also came while we were there, which made everything feel even more taken care of. Overall, it was such an easy and enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend staying here, especially with the beach just a few minutes’ walk away.

A wonderful place, so much space, high quality fittings and beautiful outside area to chill in. Would recommend to anyone.

Beautiful place and a fantastic location. Will definitely be back.

el lugar es perfecto, simplemente increíble

Very good accommodation! Everything is very clean, tidy and with everything you need for a good stay. It has a very good location, close to several shops and restaurants, but still far enough away to enjoy the silence and nature. I'd be back anyway. Thank you so much!

Muy buen alojamiento! Todo muy limpio, ordenado y con todo lo necesario para una buena estadía. Tiene muy buena ubicación, cerca de varios comercios y restaurantes, pero de todas formas alejado para disfrutar el silencio y la naturaleza. Volvería de todas maneras. Muchas gracias!

Evi, thank you very much for hosting us, we really liked the place and it was very well cared for. We would come back or recommend it.

Evi , muchas gracias por recibirnos , nos gustó mucho el lugar y muy cuidado . Volveríamos o lo recomendaríamos .

The stay was very pleasant and the homeowner was always available and on hand when we needed something.

Der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm und der Hauseigentümer war jederzeit erreichbar und zur Stelle, wenn wir etwas benötigt haben.

Amazing place near playa Suecos were the climbing walls are. My family and friends are really happy to have stayed here. Can't wait to be back tbh

We had a lovely stay with our children of 3 and 4 years at Michelle's. The house is beautiful, cozy and equipped with every comfort, ideal for a stay with young children(3&4). Michelle, who supports Evi, is very considerate, friendly and helpful. We felt immediately welcome. Her advice and help were extremely valuable and we are very happy with that. Highly recommend in every way!

We hebben samen met onze kinderen van 3 en 4 jaar heerlijk bij Michelle verbleven. Het huis is prachtig, sfeervol en van alle gemakken voorzien, ideaal voor een verblijf met jonge kinderen(3&4). Michelle, die Evi ondersteunt, is enorm attent, vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We voelden ons direct welkom. Haar adviezen en hulp waren ontzettend waardevol en we zijn daar heel blij mee. Een aanrader in alle opzichten!

Everything was amazing! Super clean and big space, close enough to everything but still far away enough to have your own space. They helped with booking our ATV and cleaning was done everyday. Hosts were super nice and responsive!

A charming Airbnb in Santa Teresa, surrounded by greenery, a few minutes' walk to the beach. Spacious and comfortable space, with good ventilation, tasteful decoration. Ideal for resting after surfing or exploring. Excellent value for money and friendly service from the hosts.

Un Airbnb encantador en Santa Teresa, rodeado de vegetación, a pocos minutos caminando de la playa. Espacio amplio y  cómodo, con buena ventilación, decoración de buen gusto. Ideal para descansar después de surfear o explorar. Excelente relación precio/calidad y atención amable por parte de los anfitriones.

We loved the place, super tidy,, safe.privacy. Super fast and attentive attention. I hope to be back soon

Nos encantó el lugar, super ordenado,, seguro.privacidad. La atención super rápida y atentos. Espero volver pronto

We had a great time in the apartment Quick response and the house was clean all the time Highly recommend

היה לנו מאוד כיף בדירה מענה מהיר והבית היה נקי כל הזמן ממליצים בחום

100% of the best Airbnb in Santa Teresa. My fiancée and I go to Santa Tere every now and then and we have stayed in many Airbnb properties but this one is by far one of the best ones when it comes to apartments near the street.

Lovely house . Well equipped And in a good location in a quiet area. Everything was very clean and well thought out. Thanks

Belle maison . Bien équipé Et bien placé au calme . Tout était très propre et bien pensé . Merci

Great stay at Evi’s place! Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings of nature. We were glad to stay here and away from the busyness of ST. Definitely stay here again!

What a gorgeous villa in a beautiful Costa Rica beach town. I took full advantage of the hammock and the pool is so nice for a dip on a hot day! Beach access is just a short walk away, groceries, coffee, and plenty of surf schools nearby if you're into that. You will probably want a car, ATV, or scooter to get around and access the more central areas of Santa Teresa. Evi was a great host, and has concierges available should you have any questions. You can see the effort they put into making this a luxury experience. I would happily stay in one of these villas again next time! Thanks for having me :)

We made a last minute booking with Evi who couldn’t have been more accommodating. Location is perfect for anything you could need. Honestly, it was hard to leave.

We really enjoyed our stay! Great location with security, beautiful, and clean.

The place is nice, safe and child-friendly. It has an excellent location. We loved that we could walk to the beach in less than 10 minutes and take advantage of the low tides. We'll definitely be back.

El lugar es bonito, seguro y amigable para los niños. Tiene una ubicación excelente. Nos encantó que pudieramos caminar hasta la playa en menos de 10 minutos y aprovechar de las mareas bajas. Volveremos sin dudarlo.

I recently stayed at this wonderful location just a short distance from the beach, and I couldn't be happier! The wildlife around is vibrant, and the property is spacious and well-maintained. The bedrooms are lovely and comfortable, providing a great place to relax after a day in the sun. The cleaning staff is friendly and always comes by to ensure everything is perfect. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great getaway!

We loved our stay at this beautiful place. Walkable to south Santa Teresa & Carmen’s great restaurants. Path to the beach is across the street. We liked being close but a little out of the chaos of Christmas week in Santa Teresa. Hosts were super helpful man’s relative. Beds were really comfortable. Will definitely stay here again!

Very nice place Secure Private With a very relaxed vibe Everything in the space was perfect Zero Problems Highly recommended place

Lugar muy lindo Seguro Privado Con una vibra muy relajado Todo en el espacio estaba perfecto Cero problemas Súper recomendado el sitio

Beautiful, clean,  comfortable, well located flat. Secure parking space. Close to supermarket, beach, center of town and various restaurants. Helpful host and housekeeper.

Very spacious and nice place. Everything you need to pass the perfect instance. The location is very comfortable and accessible to the beaches and restaurants in the area. Very well cared for house, beautiful and guarantees a safe and private space.

Lugar muy espacioso y agradable. Con todo lo necesario para pasar una instancia perfecta. La ubicación es muy cómodo y accesible para las playas y restaurantes de la zona. Casa muy bien cuidada, bonita y garantiza un espacio seguro y privado.

I spent three days in this village, and it was fantastic. The house was comfy, unique, and high-end. What I liked the most was the price—it was very affordable. I definitely will come back soon

The house looks like on the pictures, is very clean and quiet. The accommodation offers everything you need, but e.g. in the kitchen area the pans are very used and not of high quality. The accommodation is very spacious. We each had some Mphe when opening the door, but always got help from the concierge immediately. Otherwise, the concierge was super helpful. Highly recommend staying here and I would come again!

Das Haus sieht aus wie auf den Bildern, ist sehr sauber und ruhig gelegen. Die Unterkunft bietet alles was es braucht, wobei aber zb im Küchenbereich die Pfannen sehr gebraucht und nicht hochwertig sind. Die Uterkunft ist sehr grosszügig. wir hatten jeweils etwas Mphe beim Öffnen der Türe, haben aber immer sofort Hilfe vom Concierge erhalten. Auch sonst war der Concierge super hilfsbereit. Kann den Aufenthalt hier sehr empfehlen und ich würde wieder kommen!

Everything excellent, would recommend it again

Todo excelente, lo recomendaría nuevamente

Perfect place to enjoy as a family , I recommend it 100% for sure I will return with my family

Lugar perfecto para disfrutar en familia , lo recomiendo al 100% de seguro volveré con mi familia

This place is simply gorgeous. It is very spacious with nice finishes and lighting, as well as beautiful furniture. The luscious gardens on the path to the apartment are breathtaking. Location is perfect. It is close to the main town but it feels secluded. The place was impeccable and well maintained. It feels calm, serene and safe. The housekeeping, maintenance and security staff was very friendly. Michelle, the concierge, was very helpful and communicative. We loved this place and look forward to come back.

Great place,   Very clean, well equipped, safe and secure parking with gated entry

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this modern and spacious place. Everything was thought of in terms of amenities and decor inside and out, the kitchen is great to prepare meals when not dining out. Evi and the concierge Michelle were very responsive, made some great suggestions of things to do and helped us book some adventures! Would definitely recommend

Fantastic architect design modern luxury house and facilities. Extremely good host and staff. Perfect from start to finish. Really enjoyed the space. Perfection! Thank you ❤️

Beautiful space, great location & very helpful hosts

Stunning property and apartment, whole place is gorgeous and finished really well. Super comfy. Communication was excellent throughout. Wish we had more time here!

Spectacular Airbnb, the place is totally worth what price, perfectly clean and tidy, has a private pool which is great for chilling, beds are súper comfortable. Would recommend it 100%

I really liked this place, nothing more to ask for. Super close to the beach and also downtown Santa Teresa. Our stay was wonderful and we really enjoyed the private pool after a long day exploring the surroundings. Strategic location and very safe, I actually felt right at home. I really appreciate the cleanliness every day and the coffee machine. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back soon! 🙂

Este lugar me gustó mucho, nada más que pedir. Super cerca de la playa y también del centro de Santa Teresa. Nuestra estadía fue maravillosa y disfrutamos mucho de la piscina privada después de un largo día explorando los alrededores. Ubicación estratégica y muy seguro, la verdad me sentí como en casa. Agradezco mucho la limpieza cada día y la máquina de café. Súper recomendado. Volveremos pronto sin duda! 🙂

Eco has several places - we got to stay in 3 and all of them are wonderful! The team is super friendly and we will recommend him and his properties to our friends that travel to Santa Teresa

Very good location, nice brand new house. Excellent!!!

The place is super cute ! You have up to private pool, you are in the pure center of Malpais and minutes from Santa Teresa !  Well worth it

El lugar es súper lindo ! Tienes hasta piscina privada , estás en el puro centro de Malpais y a minutos de Santa Teresa !  Vale toda la pena

The Villa looked as pictured. It’s quiet and located in a private area. One assigned parking space. Malpais is about a 10 -15 minute walk along a dusty road into Carmen Beach area. No house booklet/instructions to explain amenities or house features. I booked the Villa for a week to work remotely. Unfortunately, the WiFi went out twice. Once for the entire workday. I had to scramble to find an alternative work location in Santa Teresa. Also, on one occasion, I was locked out of the Villa for several hours. The key code wouldn’t work. The owner/service never returned my call/texts for assistance. Luckily, I had inadvertently left a patio door unlocked and was able to regain entry. Housekeeping was minimal. Dirty towels left in bathroom. Overall, I would give the stay a 3 out of 5 stars. The lack of response during my lockout was unacceptable.

Great place exactly as it appeared and easy check-in! Thank you for everything. We will be back.

My friend and I couldn’t be happier with our stay at Evi’s villa. The host and concierge were friendly and easy to communicate with, the place was very clean, quiet and cozy. The location is also ideal to enjoy the best of Santa Teresa. I highly recommend you book there for your next trip!

Evi was friendly and helpful and his assistant Florencia was great too. The villa looks just like the photos, is clean and spacious and a short walk to the main strip of Santa Teresa and the beach. Has a guard and reserved parking so is always a safe place to bring a car

The cleaning staff was always available so that the place was always spotless. Very comfortable, super nice. The construction noise next door was louder than I expected but for the price of the moment is fine. Very nice place, would definitely come back!!!

El personal de limpieza siempre estuvo a disposición para que el lugar siempre estuviera impecable. Muy cómodo, super bonito. El ruido de la construcción al lado fue más fuerte de lo que esperaba pero por el precio del momento está bien. Muy lindo lugar, volvería definitivamente!!!

Brand new modern pool villa development being finished at a light side of town.    Modern amenities, comfortable bed, will equipped.  Great price since the other villa construction are being finished currently.

Magnificent place, cozy, clean and super well located. I'll keep it in mind I love the place

Magnifico lugar, acogedor, limpio y súper bien ubicada. La seguiré tomando en cuenta Me encanto el lugar

This house is so beautiful, more beautiful than in the photos and everything is brand new! I really loved my stay here and that you have that indoor/outdoor vibe happening. You can open all the glass doors on the side and make it fully indoor/outdoor living. It was the only place with internet while the internet in most towns was down, the speed was great to work remotely and take some calls. Everything is brand new and extremely clean, the bead is a dream to sleep in and the private pool is amazing as well. Highly recommend this place and would love to stay here. The host are also really nice, everyone made me feel welcome, and when I had an issue they resolved it quickly. Do note that there's construction happening next door and in front. You can barely hear anything with the doors closed, some days were really quiet and others were loud, but I personally didn't mind, the price and the beautiful house made for it.

Great stay in a cozy and well-located condo!!!

Super séjour dans un condo confortable et bien situé!!!

Great place ,great location the construction of the project is the beautiful house, missing equipment in the kitchen, missing equipment in the kitchen

Excelente lugar ,Excelente ubicación lastima la construcción del proyecto La casa hermosa, falta equipamiento en la cocina

Clean place and safe location, concierge service. She was very friendly and met us right at the gate. The place was spacious and comfortable.

We had a great stay! Even though we were warned in advance for the noise (and therefor the was lower) it was for us very ok with the door closed. Might different from week to week. But besides that the house was great, a lot of of space, clean, fresg, very good working ac, kitchen. So we had a great stay!

The area still under construction but the house is worth it and I love it so much that’s i even asked if a house is for sale, we spent the day at the beach so the workers didn’t mind us. But if you are a late riser avoid this place if you planning to stay during the next month (may-middle June 2023), the workers starts before 7 am every single day.  But if you want to book for July do it before the place gets book. Beds very comfortable!! Air conditioning on all the house, good internet connection, 2 huge TVs is like staying in a 5 stars hotel!

The house is very good, cleanliness, location, everything. However, other homes are being built next to the house. This made the privacy of the pool 100% functional, as the builders were next to us. In fact, during the day including Saturday and Sunday they worked. Finally, we consider that they should add some utensils to the kitchen such as microwave, a blender, and some extra pans. I would like to come back as the place was super quiet once the buildings are finished. Regards

La casa esta muy bien, limpieza, ubicacion, todo. Sin embargo, justo a la par de la casa esta en construccion otras viviendas. Esto hizo que la privacidad de la piscina no fuera funcional al 100%, ya que los constructores estaban junto a nosotros. De hecho, durante el dia incluyendo sabado y domingo trabajaron. Por ultimo, consideramos que deben agregar algunos utencilios a la cocina como el microondas, una licuadora y algunos sartenes adicionales. Me gustaria volver ya que el lugar fue super tranquilo, una vez que las construcciones alenadas se terminen. Saludos

Very nice place definitely will come back again

I really liked the property, the rooms are very spacious and the social areas.

Me gustó mucho la propiedad, las habitaciones son muy amplias y las zonas sociales.

Very beautiful house, clean and modern interior. Very good location with comfortable parking. All you need for good vacation you have here. Thank you.
