Villa Tropical Beauty - Villas for Rent in San Juanillo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

This simple and beautiful open plan house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay here and loved that it was so close to San Juanillo. It is an open kitchen and living area with a separate unit that houses the upstairs bedroom with full bathroom. The pool is lovely and nature is singing. Costa Rica living. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay. The rancho was a unique and memorable experience & being able to cook, relax, and spend time outdoors made the trip special. The views are stunning, the pool was fantastic, and the outdoor shower under the stars was such a fun touch. Steven, who manages the property, was very responsive and clearly wants guests to feel comfortable. When the propane ran out while we were cooking dinner, he came immediately with a new tank, which we appreciated. With a few thoughtful additions, this property could easily be a 5-star luxury experience. For example: -Repair the window screens so guests can comfortably sleep with the windows open -Provide beach towels -Add curtains in some rooms to help with heat control -Include a hair dryer -Supply a few pool floaties -Clarify in the listing that the laundry is shared with another property These small details would elevate the overall comfort level and truly match the beautiful setting. Overall, we had a great time.

We loved our 6 week stay! We were routinely visited by many different animals (even named a few). The location is remote but easy to get to, the small town is close and has excellent restaurants and a beautiful beach. We enjoyed spending time by the amazing private pool and cooking in the outdoor kitchen. This is definitely a place we would return to!

Stunning location, great amenities. Loved our stay.

From the sunsets, to the massive outdoor kitchen and our own personal pool this place was a paradise oasis for us. We were so happy for the eight days that we stayed here.  We loved it so much that we didn’t venture out very often as we wanted to stay,  cook and enjoy this beautiful place. One thing to know is you definitely need a four wheel vehicle to ensure a safe drive during the day when you venture out  for your day trips, especially with the winding roads.  Our host Steven was helpful throughout our stay. We will definitely book again! 

This place is a real gem and perfect if you are looking to disconnect in the middle of nature, with tranquility and peace of mind. The outside is beautiful and very pleasant with the rancho, a real pleasure to enjoy it. The pool is a good size with stunning views of the jungle and the ocean in the background. The upstairs bedroom allows you to wake up with this ocean view which is very nice. The accommodation is well thought out for a couple and the kitchen well equipped if you want to make meals at home. We had a wonderful time at this place that we really loved. I highly recommend it. Steven is a very welcoming and warm host, who responds quickly and with pleasure to recommend what you need. He was very accommodating for our arrival and made us feel very comfortable. I would be happy to go back to this place, thank you Steven for hosting us!

Ce logement est une vraie perle et parfait si vous cherchez à vous déconnecter au milieu de la nature, avec tranquillité et paisibilité à la clé. L’extérieur est magnifique et très agréable avec le rancho, un vrai bonheur d’en profiter. La piscine est d’une bonne taille avec une vue imprenable sur la jungle et l’océan en fond. La chambre à l’étage permet de se réveiller avec cette vue sur l’océan qui est très agréable. Le logement est bien pensé pour un couple et la cuisine bien équipée si vous voulez faire des repas à la maison. Nous avons passé de merveilleux moments dans ce logement que nous avons vraiment adoré. Je recommande vivement. Steven est un hôte très accueillant et chaleureux, qui répond rapidement et à plaisir à vous recommandé ce dont vous avez besoin. Il a été très accommodant pour notre arrivée et nous a mis très facilement à l’aise. Je retournerais dans ce logement avec grand plaisir, merci Steven de nous y avoir accueilli!

Great property with amazing views surrounded by nature. Pool area and patio was a great place to spend the day. House with AC was a great as well, loved the outdoor showers. Lots of critters showing up during the day and loved the sounds of nature. Was glad no one was at the property next door for a truly secluded stay.

This house is a gem in the middle of nature.  We thought it was a perfect stay. We would return in a heartbeat.  Great!

Dit huis is een parel midden in de natuur.  We vonden het een perfect verblijf. We zouden zo weer teruggaan.  Top!

Beautiful place to stay. Loved having our own large private pool. Had everything we needed, beach chairs, pool noodles and all the kitchen supplies. It was nice to have washing machine and dryer..It was nice having the full outside kitchen and inside kitchenette. Completely private, only saw pool guy and gardener a couple of times. Beautiful landscape.

Beautiful place if you want to get away from it all, wildlife close to the villa, sunset like you've never seen before, everything was perfect. Steven was always attentive to our requests, even for a good massage directly at the house, he took care of finding a massage therapist. Very comfortable bed too, which is very important when you stay there for a month. I highly recommend this villa near the village of San Juanillo where people are also very friendly and welcoming.

Endroit magnifique si vous voulez être dépaysé, préséance de faune tout près de la villa, couché de soleil comme jamais vous en aurez vus, tout était parfait. Steven était toujours à l’écoute de nos demandes même pour un bon massage directement à la maison, il s’en est occupé de trouver une massothérapeute. Lit très confortable également, ce qui est très important quand on y séjourne un mois . Je recommande fortement cette villa tout près du village de San Juanillo ou les gens sont également très sympathique et accueillant.

Beautiful location, surrounded by jungle, better than in the pictures. We heard Howler monkeys every night and morning and watched the sunset over the jungle with an incredible view of the ocean. Lots of beaches and restaurants close by in the small towns. Hosts were great and welcoming. We loved our stay!

Paradise for those who want to chill! We needed to get out of our comfort zone and disconnect from the day-to-day work stress and routine. We were introduced to the villa by a well knowledged co-host Miel. He showcased the villa in a well-mannered ecological way. He was also available for any guidance on where to go in the area and responded within a minute. We found paradise in living outside all day in the rancho and going sleeping in the air-conditioned room in the main villa. The pool provided well-needed cooldown with the wind and the fans in the rancho cooling us off. We cooked every day in a well-equipped kitchen with gas range. We were privileged to hear right next to our villa the howling monkeys, iguanas running around the property, coatis (pizotes), geckos, parrots, wild pigs, foxes, etc. We were immersed by the beauty of the property and would have stayed longer than our 2 weeks stay. The sunsets are amazing here. Just a 5-minute drive to San Juanil

We had an amazing time in the house. You can see beautiful sunsets and the open concept of the house is perfect.

Our stay here was wonderful. The home is beautiful, tasteful  and unique with multiple lounging areas in complete privacy surrounded by jungle and ocean view. The Co-host Miel, was exceptional! He waited patiently for us to arrive after major delays at the airport and welcomed us with his kind and friendly demeanor. He was extremely communicative, responsive and helpful with anything at all that came up during the entire duration of our trip. During our stay there was some high winds and a power outage and this house was prepared with solar energy back-up. The home is well equipped with anything you might need. The outdoor kitchen and pool are so delightful, the king bed is very comfortable and the view from up there is wonderful, you can have your shower under the stars which is really special. You will feel peaceful and private away from the world and still in close proximity to the nearby towns. There is much to explore in the area. I would stay again and highly recommend.

What an incredible place. Seclusion, wildlife, and the views. We can’t say enough about how pleased we were with this place. We spent afternoons by the pool and sunsets on the balcony overlooking the ocean. Steven was very accommodating to any questions we had and always answered in less than 5 mins. He can set you up with any tours you need. The area has so much to offer and San Juanillo is easily one of the best beaches in all of Costa Rica If your looking for one of the best places on the Pacific in Guanacaste, this is it. We will be returning for two reasons: the host and the absolute beauty and solitude this place has to offer.

Amazing experience! Awesome location and home. Pool and surrounding area are a spectacular spot to sit and watch monkeys, birds and wildlife. Close to town and beautiful beach yet total privacy. Super easy road to house which is very nice to have. San Juanillo and ostional are magical places that you should experience first hand. We have been many times over the years and continue to return. Stevie is a local treasure - so knowledgeable about the area and a lovely host! We have stayed with him many times and are very grateful. Thanks Stevie for another perfect trip and the memories!! Book your stay!

Always a great time in the homes that Steven hosts!!

Lovely, secluded stay in the hills above San Juanillo!

Our two month stay was wonderful, as described and even more that we anticipated. The grounds, view and home are stunning! The property is well designed and appointed making are stay comfortable. The outdoor living space is comfortable, table seats 8, has an outdoor shower making it easy to get in and out the pool. The bed is comfortable with a stunning view of tropical plants, trees, wildlife and the ocean. Internet was high speed letting two people take Zoom calls at the same time without disruption and making our remote work possible. Steven is a communicative, helpful and responsive host. He had local recommendations for restaurants and a zip line that made our experience top notch. Would stay again and again.

We had an incredible time at Steven’s place. The surroundings were beautiful and we really enjoyed the pool and the rancho. We loved the outdoor showers!  Steven was very responsive to all of our needs and help in finding good restaurants, etc.  We loved waking up and going to sleep at night to the sound of the howler monkeys. It was fun to watch the iguanas and the pizotes and even saw the monkeys on occasion. Overall it was a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it.

We had an amazing, relaxing stay here! The house is very modern with all the amenities you could ask for. The outdoor kitchen, patio, and pool were clean, gorgeous, and comfortable. It’s a very short distance to many beautiful beaches but would definitely recommend a 4x4 for traveling around the area.

The area, property and Stephen were great and as listed. I’ve been to the area several times. The locals are amazing and very friendly. Be sure to check out the beach bar down at the beach, best staff and food in town! El Jardin is another great option for food. The locals have all the details for live music and anything you need. The property is divine. Full of nature sounds. Private. Screens are all in tact and something we love about this property. AC worked perfect and ceiling fans indoor and outdoor everywhere. Landscape and pool were serviced weekly. A short 5 min drive into downtown, Nosara and Marbella all nearby within 30mins Stephen is always available and super responsive. He has access to anything you need while there!

On point with communication and follow through. Steven was a good host.

This house is simply spectacular! Steve was awesome, really helpful and accommodating. Great wifi connection and the salt water pool is one of the best features of the house. Definitely will book again.

Absolutely stunning remote location. We lived ever day in the rancho area by the pool. Read, cooked, swam and watched for birds and monkeys. The only man made thing to see in all directions in the light of one radio tower across the valley. Other than that... jungle as far as the eye can see. Wifi allowed for 2 simultaneous Zoom meetings. The salt water pool was exquisite. The view from bed is incredible. And if the wind is right, it sounds like the surf is crashing just below the house. Spectacular!
