6BR villa in Malpaís

Private Tropical Villa • Pool • Walk to Beach - Villas for Rent in Malpaís, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Wonderful property/house very close to the main road and beaches in the area but still has that secluded jungle feel foliage with several types of monkeys greeting you. No 4X4 needed to access the property. Great attentive and responsive host! Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay in Malpaís. The house is private and tucked among the trees, and we had both floors for our group of family and friends. Every day we spotted howler and white-faced monkeys, as well as beautiful birds. We loved renting four-wheelers to explore new beaches and waterfalls every day. We walked to buy groceries and fresh local fish, and enjoy the wonderful Italian restaurant and the local brewery. The pool was incredibly relaxing with all you need to float the day away and we could easily walk to some beaches. Our host Ivana was amazing, helping us arrange everything from four-wheeler rentals to a magical bioluminescence experience. She helped us schedule anything we wanted to do, including a nearby zip line tour. Next time we stay, we might just take the shuttle from the airport (easy and safe) and rent the four wheelers the whole time! We went everywhere on them. Overall, it was a perfect, relaxing and unforgettable holiday stay that we’d highly recommend.

Perfect place for a family getaway. We were 10 guests, including two minor children, two college kids and one grand parent. Great location for all ages. It was quite easy to find, close to the beach and a lot of tourist options. The house was exactly as described and well equipped. On nights we didn't go out, we barbecued on the upstairs balcony or out by the pool. The air conditioning was top notch and quickly cooled off the place after a long day out exploring. Even though it is a popular tourist area, the neighborhood was always quiet and always felt safe.  The real standout was the host, Adi. We regularly sent him messages requesting information or tips for the area and he always responded immediately with great ideas and suggestions. He set us up with a local fisherman who took us out and we caught 5 huge yellowfin tuna. Such an amazing experience and a great place to stay.

Our family had a lovely stay at Pacific Azure.  Adi was super attentive and responsive and was available any time we needed anything.  The house fully stocked, it's tucked away and very private and we felt very safe and comfortable the entire time.  We had a baby and 2 small children with us and having the a split home was more than ideal with a lower unit serving as the quiet house and the upper unit as the play and hang space.  The house is close to Mal Pais beach and very close to Santa Teresa.  We would certainly stay here again.

Thank you so much Natalia for your kind words! We're glad to hear your family had a comfortable and safe stay, and that the layout of the home worked so well for your needs. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back at any of our 8 properties in beautiful Mal País. —Pacific Azure Management Team

My parents, siblings and our kids all stayed this past week and had an amazing time!  The house was a perfect size for us all to sleep comfortably.  Was so great that each couple had their own big bathroom.   Kitchens were fully stocked enough for us to make a couple of our own meals.  The balcony on the second floor was such a great place to have coffee and watch the butterflies and iguanas!  In the early evening the monkeys came out to swing in the trees.  We also got to see agoutis!  The pool was heavenly!  Adi, our host even arranged for us to have two masseuse come and give us massages under the outdoor patio!   Adi was such a great host.  Gave us plenty of privacy but was fast and responsive if we needed anything.  The grounds were beautiful and the pics don’t do it justice.  We all felt very safe the whole week.   One night we even walked to the nearby brewery for dinner and walked back late with my 11 year old and never ever felt unsafe.   Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much Christina for this generous and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear your whole family had such a memorable stay and that the house, wildlife, pool, and amenities met all your needs. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you're always welcome back! —Pacific Azure Management Team

I can’t say enough great things about our stay here! Adi was incredible- he was there to help us check in and give us a tour and was extremely responsive to any questions we had throughout the stay. He set up transfers to and from the airport for us and ATV rentals that were there when we arrived at the house. The house was perfect for my 30th birthday celebration with friends! Close to the beach and a quick ATV ride to Santa Teresa to enjoy all the restaurants and bars. Loved that it was a little removed from the busy-ness of Santa Teresa- very peaceful and serene. The pool was beautiful and the entire property was just incredible. I can’t wait to come back and stay again! Highly highly recommend booking here!

Thank you Hannah for your generous review! We're glad to hear your 30th birthday celebration was everything you hoped for and more. It’s great that the location, the pool, and the peaceful setting made your stay special, and that we could help make everything seamless—from check-in to transportation and ATV rentals. We’d love to welcome you back anytime to any of our 8 beautiful properties in Mal País! —Pacific Azure Management Team

¡Muchísimas gracias Hernan! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de tu estadía. Será un placer recibirte nuevamente. Saludos! — Pacific Azure

The house is very comfortable, just as described. Everything was very clean. The two houses with a full kitchen, which made it easy for us to be two families sharing but at the same time independent. They always responded quickly and were very accessible.

La casa muy cómodo, tal cual la describieron. Todo muy limpio. Las dos casas con cocina completa, lo cual facilitó que éramos dos familias compartiendo pero al mismo tiempo independientes. Siempre respondían rápidamente y muy accesibles.

¡Muchas gracias Alexandra por tu reseña! Nos alegra saber que la casa cumplió con sus expectativas y qué fue ideal para compartir entre dos familias con comodidad. Siempre serán bienvenidos! — Pacific Azure

The host (Adi) was incredibly helpful and quick to respond. The house was well-equipped, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The cleaning service was excellent, making our trip absolutely perfect.

Beautiful place and Adi was very helpful with recommendations and quick to answer any questions.

Great place very quiet; the host is very welcoming and gave us valuable tips about the surroundings. The pool area is magical. The villa is really beautiful with its large terrace. We saw monkeys every day. The pizzeria nearby is perfect! I give 5* easy but here are my only 2 "negative" reviews: the air conditioning in the room was noisy and it was not clear that it was 2 completely separate apartments when we rented the entire villa.

Superbe endroit très tranquille; l’hôte est très accueillante et nous a donné de précieux conseils sur les environs. Le coin piscine est magique. La villa est vraiment magnifique avec sa grande terrasse. On a vu des singes à tous les jours. La pizzeria à proximité est parfaite! Je donne 5* facile mais voici mes 2 seuls commentaires « négatifs » : l’air climatisé de la chambre était bruyant et il n’était pas clair que c’était 2 appartements complètement séparés quand on a loué toute la villa.

Excellent attention! Very fast and effective communication!!! Everything super clean , with all the amenities , super complete kitchens, everything is very close !!! Recommended💯!!!

Excelente atención! Comunicación muy rápida y efectiva !!! Todo super limpio , con todas las comodidades , cocinas súper completas, todo muy cerca !!! Recomendada 💯!!!

The property is beautiful, well located, easily accessible, the house clean, with plenty of kitchen utensils, clean and cozy

La propiedad es preciosa, bien ubicada, de fácil acceso, la casa limpia, con bastantes utensilios de cocina, limpia y acogedora

We had an amazing stay here!! Me and my 7 girls were so nervous coming somewhere not knowing any spanish and not having any form of transportation. Our host was very kind and took great care of us being super responsive and planned all our rides so that we got where we needed to go. He answered any questions we had super fast and was very personable! The place was so beautiful and the greenest place I've ever been! Its clean and has everything you need!! I would 110% recommend anyone book here!

the super cozy house.. quite comfortable and was going with my older parents.. and it was very cozy and very comfortable. by way of communication and excellent attention i would definitely recommend this house and stay again

la casa super acogedora.. bastante comoda e iba con mis padres mayores.. y fue muy acogedor y muy comodo. a manera de comunicacion y atenciion excelente sin duda alguna recomendaria esta casa y me volveria a hospedar

This house was by far the best Airbnb experience we have had so far , the home is absolutely fully equipped with everything a family will need for their stay at the beach . Not to mention that the house is also spotless clean and very comfortable. The pool was amazing it has a shallow side for kids . The house is the best  very close to the beach and away from all the clutter from Santa Teresa . The monkeys would come and visit  and we loved that . We felt very safe and at home .

Adi’s place was incredible, everything was so incredibly smooth, from check in to local surfing recommendations, even personal chef bookings, family photography bookings, atv bookings and delivery… not once was I burdened with figuring out (honestly) anything on my own, Adi took care of it. Filtered water was delivered daily along with house keeping and grounds keeping. The pool and palapa were pristine, accompanied by a grill and mini fridge for pool side grilling. Was our perfect retreat after long days of exploring different beaches… We can not speak more highly of our stay. We definitely recommend booking atv for exploring mal pais and Santa Teresa. you will notice motorcycles and atvs are the preferred mode of transportation here. Thank you Adi and Yami for your hospitality, we can not wait to come back!

This house made our group trip a success. We were able to accommodate 10 people with an extra room vacant. Communication with our house “Pacific Azure” was superb. Everything was functioning and we never felt lost or confused. This house is the perfect home to stay in while you wait to get into heaven. The pool was at a comfortable swimming temperature throughout the day and the night. The properly is well lit, very private and even as a tourist you’ll never feel out of place. Booking this house is probably one of the best choices you’ll make in a very long time ; DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK. Everything was neat and clean ; quite frankly the pictures don’t do justice but go see for yourself.

Thank you Guy, appreciate the kind words. You guys are always welcome back. Thanks so much, Adi : )

Can't say enough about how great our experience was. The house is incredible, the location is beautiful, Adi is an amazing host and helped us coordinate everything from surfing lessons, zipline rides, deep sea fishing to having a private chef cook us a world class meal. Adi even loaned us bolt cutters when one person in our group padlocked his ATV keys, phone and wallet in the ATV storage box. The covered hut/outdoor area around the pool is much bigger than it appears in the photos and really makes the property fantastic. Everything was super clean and very nice, can't say enough good things about our stay!

Lovely space. Lots of rooms and good beds. Kitchen has it all. The pool area is great.  Private.

Amazing spot and an amazing home. We rented both suites for two families and a total of 9 people. The pool was spectacular as was the upstairs outside dining area. We'd love to return again soon.

This was an absolutely perfect spot for our family to vacation! We loved walking to nearby beaches and restaurants. The pool was lovely, the property well cared for, and all of Adi’s recommendations for excursions were spot on amazing! We met lovely people and enjoyed the monkeys, iguanas and birds at the property.

The accommodation on Pacific Azure was excellent, the spaces comfortable, the place is very clean, the ease of having a pool and barbecue space in the same place gives the security that is required in these times of COVID - 19 to leave in a bubble without having to move to other places. My family and I are very happy to stay.

El alojamiento en Pacific Azure fue excelente, los espacios cómodos, el lugar muy limpio, la facilidad de contar con piscina y espacio para el asado en el mismo lugar da la seguridadque se requiere en estos tiempos de COVID - 19 para salir en burbuja sin tener que desplazarse a otros lugares. Mi familia y yo quedamos muy felices que el hospedaje.

A spectacular place, next to one of the nicest beaches in the country. We would definitely come back. The house is very nice, with too many common spaces, super comfortable and clean. Recommended 100%

Un lugar espectacular, a la par de una de las playas más lindas del país. Volveríamos sin ninguna duda. La casa lindísima, con demasiados espacios en común, súper cómoda y limpia. Recomendada 100%

Muchas gracias Angie, era placer hospedarlos aquí en Mal Pais. Mas de bienvenidos cuando gusten! Adi : )

An amazing place with very nice and cozy details. Excellent cleanliness.

Un lugar increíble con detalles muy bonitos y acogedores. La limpieza excelente.

Muchísimas gracias Jorge, era un placer hospedarlos. Mas de bienvenidos cuando gusten. Saludos!

So he was an excellent host who showed us the house and how everything works, he let us be in the pool area before check-in, which we greatly appreciate. The home is very clean and tidy and tidy with everything you'll need. We rented all 2 of us. The only bad thing was the air conditioning that in the one upstairs that did not cool down very well but otherwise excellent. Thank you Adi.

Asi fue un excelente host nos enseñó la casa y cómo funciona todo, nos dejó estar en el área de piscina antes del check in lo cual apreciamos muchísimo. La casa muy limpia y ordenada con todo lo que necesita. Alquilamos las 2 lo único malo fue el aire acondicionado que en la de arriba que no enfrió muy bien del todo pero lo demás excelente. Gracias Adi.

Just one word: AMAZING! We spent there 12 days with my family and  the villa was better than we expected. We had so much fun in Malpais, the house is in a really good location, just 10 minutes away from the supermarket and the most amazing beach in the area. Adi is incredibly helpful and generous with his time and advice :) I am sure we will go back soon!

Thank you Alexandra, was a pleasure having the entire family here visit from Hungary. It was really nice meeting and hosting you guys, come visit soon! Best regards to all, Adi : )

Adi was fantastically helpful with requests and guidance, the house was really very well equipped with excellent new kitchen utensils, plenty of everything, comfortable beds, good towels and linens, daily pool services, easy to call taxi services, daily cleaning and washing towels by two great maids. We had six children with us ranging from 13 to 2 and they had a wonderful time. Adi was so thoughtful that new pool and beach toys were waiting for them when we arrived. Adi was an excellent host and a great housing that our family highly recommends.

We had a family vacation this year in this property. It is a two-story house where every floor is completely independent. It is a very tranquil space to share with friends and relatives. There is no direct access to the beach, but there are several beautiful beaches pretty close as well as restaurants and grocery stores. We cooked several meals at home and we can assert that the kitchens on both floors are well equipped. The kids loved the pool and in fact, two of my nephews will cherish the memory that in this pool this is the first time they swam without any floaters. This was indeed a beautiful place to stay and to share memories with my family.

Thanks so much Ediwn, was a pleasure hosting you and your family at our villa. Glad everyone had fun and amazing the kids got to do their first swim here! More than welcome back, thank you. Adi : )

Adi was great! The house is stunning! Hope to be back soon!

Thank you Bernal, was a pleasure having you guys. Always welcome back! Adi : )

We had a great time stay at this place. The host was there when we arrived and even offered his chef friend to make us dinner. The local food is exquisite and we recommend The Bakery for breakfast/bruch. The howler monkeys were an unexpected treat! We loved the area and would recommend this place to stay. :)

The most amazing trip ever! We can’t stop talking about it, and we’re ready to come back! Beautiful, clean, comfortable, and functional home and property. Lots of space and privacy. Better than the pictures! We enjoyed ourselves both at the house and around the surrounding towns. Adi is the best host you could ask for! Anything we needed he provided, from advice on dinner/evening plans to arranging the most unforgettable day activities. He was also very helpful with getting us to Malpais and around the area. Communication was thorough and consistent both before and during our trip. Adi really allowed us get the most out of Malpais and see all the amazing people and things the area has to offer. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! Everything is highly recommended! I know you’ll love everything about this experience as much as we did!

Pacific Azure was an amazing experience.  This beautiful, spacious house and pool were not only spectacular, but close to many beaches, surf, swimming, fresh line caught fish & great restaurants.  The pool side Tiki Hut is massive and was quite accommodating to several of our family BBQs.  Adi catered to our every need and is the best host we’ve ever experienced.

Thank you both Elaina and Tim for leaving such a generous review, was so nice hosting you guys. Hopefully you come visit again. Take care, Adi : )

Well-kept house with all comforts in the middle of a beautiful garden

Gepflegtes Haus mit allem Komfort inmitten einem schönen Garten

Thank you Sara, pleasure hosting you guys. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Adi : )

Excellent place to enjoy with the family. A very comfortable and spacious house with all the amenities you need for a luxury family vacation. Every day the house is clean and the pool is always impeccable. It doesn't take 4wd to get there which is very good in Malpais. Adi was one of the best hosts I've  met on all of my airbnb. We wash motorcycles and ATV with the end of the problem. We recommend!!

Excelente lugar para disfrutar en familia. Una casa muy cómoda y amplia con todos los amenities necesarios para vacaciones de lujo en familia. Todos los días la casa limpia y la pileta siempre impecable. No se necesita 4wd para llegar lo cual es muy buena en Malpais. Adi fue uno de los mejores hosts que he  conocido en todos mis airbnb. Rentamos moto y quad con el fin problema. Recomendamos!!

Muchas gracias Rocio, era un placer hospedarlos todos, muy amable. Saludos a todos! Adi : )

Best description I can give about this property is that it is like staying at a Four Seasons Hotel. It’s tough to get to but once you are there the home and the nearby town and beaches are absolutely amazing. Adi was a super host and offered tremendous advice on what to do and where to go.

Thank you so much for leaving such a generous review Steve. It was an absolute pleasure hosting your family, hope I get the chance to host you again sometime. Always welcome back! Adi : )

Excellent stay. The house has everything, but everything you need. Nice, clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated! All the details you need are in the house!! Adi thank you for everything

Muchas gracias Gabriela, era un placer hospedarlos todos. Me alegra que la pasaron bien. Un abrazo, Adi : )

We decided to celebrate a very small beach wedding at Pacific Azure and Adi was very open and super helpful when we had questions about the place or required something to put up the decoration. He even took a group photo of all of us during the reception! The place was very clean, is fully equipped with everything we needed and is just as amazing as in the pictures! Everybody loved the place and had a great time, we would love to come back and stay at Pacific Azure :)

Thank you Lisa, you guys put together such a beautiful wedding. Your family and friends are always welcome here. Thanks so much, it was a pleasure to have you celebrate such a special event here at our property. Adi : )

The house is nice and the host is super friendly and attentive, but be careful with the temperature of the air conditioning as they condition it and do not allow you to go down beyond 24 ° C.

La casa está bonita y el anfitrion super amable y atento, pero tengan cuidado con la temperatura del aire acondicionado ya que la condicionan y no permiten bajar mas alla de 24º C.

Muchas gracias y me alegra que la pasaron bien. Nos disculpa como se fue la luz se nos desconfiguró el termostato pero todo en orden. Siempre bienvenidos! Saludos, Adi : )

Very nice like the picture, everything clean and tidy, excellent.  Definitely to go back

Muy linda como la foto, todo limpio y ordenado, excelente.  Definitivamente para volver

Pacific Azure was a dream come true! Great location in Malpais secluded but with an easy drive. The house was perfect, everything you could think of was there and it was extraordinary clean!! Adi was a dream host for us, fun, easy going and went out of his way to make sure our experience was the best. We’ll miss you Adi and the house, hope to be back soon to surf the swells with ya 🤙🏼

Emily, you guys are such a nice family! Thanks for such a warm review, it was a pleasure having you guys! Say hi to everyone from me and looking forward to hosting you guys again. Bring the rest of the family and all your friends!! Adi : )

Best town and place I have ever visited! Location was great with 4 wheelers to ride into town (rent 4 wheelers, money well spent) or go to water fall 25 minutes away. Adi was the best and is only a minute away which made communication simple. Adi also set up the best fishing trip I've been apart of. Beaches everywhere you just need to explore. Also if you take a left at Mary's you will find a little store at half the prices and you should find everything you need there. I recommend to all family and friends wanting a wonderful place to stay! Raul

Expect more then what you see !! Such a beautiful home,  the view every morning from the penthouse to the pool it’s amazing . Definitely recommend the ATVs to get you around .Adi has been one of the best host I have had always answers all your questions and helps you with whatever you need . This place is a most !!!

Claudia, you guys where a really fun group to host... glad you had the chance to go to Tortuga Island and that you put our pool deck to good use : ) Always welcome back, take care!! Adi : )

The house was perfect for our two families (6 kids 4 adults). It was an adventure getting there (Adi's directions we great and easy to follow but the roads are definitely the worst I've seen in Costa Rica). On the other hand the beach was the most beautiful (playa cueves) we've seen in Costa Rica (lived here for a year as students). Adi was quick to respond to our needs (filling the gas tank for the grill) and the house is fully stocked (with cooking instruments) we were able to cook all our meals in to spend more time together. Thank you we highly recommend this place for families too!

Thanks Erin, was really nice hosting all you guys. Always welcome back, Adi : )

The house is amazing. You are within walking distance to breaches and short drives to town and to other beautiful beaches. Adi is very friendly and attentive. There are guards and a Gardner on the property daily but it is very secluded and you feel safe. We had an amazing 7 day trip

Thanks so much Meghan, it was a pleasure having you guys stay at our property. Always welcome back. Thanks, Adi : )

We had a wonderful time. Everything was to our complete satisfaction. Service, host and the location of the house is perfect.

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit. Alles war zu unser vollsten Zufriedenheit. Service, Host und die Lage vom Haus ist perfekt.

Thanks Desiree, glad you guys enjoyed your stay and that you found the property accommodating to hold your wedding event. More than welcome back, Adi : )

It's a very nice place! The house is super comfortable and has beautiful details! It is equipped with very good quality items! Highly recommended!!

Es un lugar muy bonito! La casa es súper cómoda y tiene detalles preciosos! Está equipada con artículos de muy buena calidad! Súper recomendada!!

Muchísimas gracias, me alegra que la pasaron bien! Siempre bienvenidos... saludos, Adi : )

Excellent stay, its facilities are wonderful, worthy of vacationing.

Excelente hospedaje, sus instalaciones son maravillosas, dignas para vacacionar.

Muchas gracias Michael, era un placer hospedarlos. Siempre bienvenidos. Adi : )

Our group of ten had an amazing two weeks at Pacific Azure!  The house is beautiful and Adi couldn't have been a better host.  He got back to us immediately and was responsive to our every need.  Adi's and Deana's attentiveness combined with the daily cleaning service was like being at a Four Seasons.  We enjoyed hanging out at the house and by the pool when we weren't busy trying to fit in everything we wanted to see and do. The big surprise was all the excellent restaurants to choose from including Mary's which was walkable from the house.  We won't forget the stunning beach sunsets, daily monkey sightings, and the wonderful locals we met and got to know.  We will definitely be back.

Thanks so much Ann for such a nice review! You guys are soooo sweet : ) It was a pleasure hosting you guys over Christmas and New Year. You know you are all more than welcome back anytime. Take care and best regards to all the family!! Adi : )

100% recommended, super comfortable and spacious, with pool and jacuzzi. We had an issue with the A/C but it was quickly fixed!

100% recomendado, super comodo y espacioso, con piscina y jacuzzi. Tuvimos un problema con el a/c pero rápidamente se soluciono!

Muchas gracias Daniel, era un placer tener los aquí en nuestra villa en Mal Pais. Siempre bienvenidos. Feliz Año, Adi : )

Excellent place, recommended. The house is divided into two apartments, it has 5 rooms. Excellent pool and very quiet area.

Excelente lugar, recomendado. La casa está dividida en dos apartamentos, tiene 5 habitaciones. Excelente piscina y la zona muy tranquila.

Muchas gracias Oscar, era un placer hospedar los en nuestra villa, siempre bienvenidos. Adi : )

This is an amazing place. A gem in the middle of nowhere. Monkeys swung in the trees around us and there is an amazing beach about a 1.5 km walk away. Some Tips: - The ferry is an experience in itself. I would suggest reading up on the whole boarding process so you are familiar. Show up at least 45-1 hour early or there is risk you won't get on. - You will need a 4x4. The roads are treacherous versus North American standards. - GPS is highly recommended. Especially as you navigate 'unnamed road' to 'unmarked road' to 'bumpy road' - The GPS is deceiving. If it says 2 hours - add another hour as the roads and traffic conditions can be unpredictable. - Food in this area is REALLY expensive. It's amazing (try the Bakery, Casa De Mara, Banana Beach) but its more expensive than you will expect. We also had kids with us and none of the restaurants have kids menus so this also contributed to the cost. - Groceries are scarce in Saint Theresa and Mal Pais. I would recommend taking a trip up to Cabuya.

Thanks for your review Shannon, it was a pleasure having you guys stay here : ) I just want to clarify a few things to future guests reading this. Normally we have two ferrys operating throughout the year. During your visit one of them was being serviced for maintenance, so only one was operational, therefore the longer wait. Unless traveling on New Year, Christmas, Spring Break and national Costa Rican holiday weekends there is no need to come an hour early to board the ferry, 15 minutes is more than enough.  As for rental cars, all compact and full-size SUV rentals in Costa Rica come standard with 4x4, which is great if you want to go exploring. The drive from the ferry to Mal Pais/Santa Teresa is mostly paved, in fact from the ferry to the town Cobano the road is completely paved. From Cobano to Mal Pais/Santa Teresa it's just 15km which parts of that stretch are gravel and others are paved. While driving in town you won't need to put your vehicle in 4x4. I suggest our guests if you decide to use navigation to download Google Maps or Waze, they are both actually very accurate and I'll provide the exact address to enter.  As for restaurants, we have some excellent dining options in Mal Pais and Santa Teresa, from sushi restaurants, seafood, pizza, bistros, cafes and local typical Costa Rican restaurants. Food will range anywhere between $6-$20+ a meal depending where you go. The typical Costa Rican dishes at the local spots are very delicious and very reasonably priced.  This is small beach town yet surprisingly we do have some really good grocery stores, closest one is right around the corner from the house, no more than 5 minutes away, it's small but very convenient for all your basic needs. In town we have several super market options where you'll find anything you need. This is very IMPORTANT; I think you confused the town of Cabuya with the town of Cobano. It's actually very common for people to confuse the names. Cabuya is the small nearby town where the entrance to the Cabo Blanco National Park is, it's beautiful but no reason to drive there for grocery shopping. On the other hand the town of Cobano is the one you see on your way down to Mal Pais/Santa Teresa. You could drive there to do groceries but again, there is absolutely no reason, the best super market in town is Super Rony and it's just a 10 minute drive and few minutes further down the road you'll find Green World, which is an organic produce store, which I highly recommend.   Anyhow, thanks again you guys for your stay... it was really great hosting you and of course you are more than welcome back anytime. Adi : )

The house is super spacious and beautiful. Excellent hosts with very good treatment for guests.

La casa super espaciosa y bonita. Los anfitriones excelentes con muy buen trato hacia los huéspedes.

Muchas gracias Maria, era un placer hospedar los. Siempre bienvenidos! Adi : )

This was our second year staying at this house and it was amazing great hospitality very clean I would recommend for anyone and I will be back next year 

Thanks Jirod, I'm glad you guys enjoyed your stay. Until next time : )

Diana's help was spectacular, unfortunately the kitchen incident with the gas leak was not for less, with a stove that did not work properly and the gas exit from the oven. We had babies and children in the house and this incident gives us all very scared and afraid to stay inside the house. Unfortunately, we felt that there was not much concern from the owner. On the other hand, the location is not for easy access to the best beaches in the area.

La ayuda de Diana espectacular, lamentablemente el incidente de la cocina con la fuga de gas no fue para menos, con una hornilla que no funcionaba correctamente y la salida de gas del horno. Teniamos bebes y niños en la casa y este incidente danos dejo a todos muy asustados y temerosos de mantenernos dentro de la cada. Desafortunadamente sentimos que no hubo mucha preocupación por parte del dueño. Por otro lado, la ubicación no es para acceder fácilmente a las mejores playas de la zona.

Realmente poco sorprendido de lo que esta escrito y realmente no es lo que sucedió. Nunca había una fuga de gas, sin embrago lo que si paso era que se les olvido la comida en el horno y se quemo. Entiendo que se asustaron y querían evitar un rebajo del deposito (que nunca se realizo) pero no es justo inventar algo así. Ademas Diana es nuestra gerente y estuvo atenta para cualquier cosa ademas a mi mensaje nunca me respondieron? Saludos : )

The house really is amazing and it's conveniently located close to the beaches in the area. The kitchen, bedrooms and other areas are fully equiped and have everything you might need to make you feel at home. The house is pretty spacious and has big windows which allows for a lot of natural light. The pool has a good size and is well kept. I would definitely stay in this place again or recomend it to a friend. Also, Adi is a great host, he was available via messages and even in person to help us with any question or issue that we had.

Thank you Leonidas for your detailed review, it was a pleasure having you guys stay at the house. All you guys are more than welcome back, anytime. Best Regards, Adi : )

It is a very quiet and safe place, very close to the village and the beach, almost no need to leave the property, if you prepare you have everything, the house is very comfortable and spacious, we would definitely repeat the experience.

Es un lugar muy tranquilo y seguro, muy cerca del pueblo y la playa, casi ni necesario salir de la propiedad, si te preparas tienes todo, la casa muy cómoda y amplia, sin duda repetiríamos la experiencia.

Muchas Gracias Johnny, era un placer hospedar los. Siempre bienvenidos, gracias, Adi : )

This was a truly spectacular place. We shared the home with another family for our spring break. Fantastic location with many things to do to fill the time. Adi was a terrific host, arranging many of our activities and responding very quickly any time we had a question. We hope to return to this gem soon!

Thanks so much guys, it was a pleasure hosting you... glad you enjoyed the pool so much and some of the local tours. Really appreciate the crafty gift the kids left me : ) Come visit again anytime! Adi

An amazing house in a superb area. The dream !!! Adi was extremely considerate before, during, and after our stay. 

Une maison incroyable dans un coin superbe. Le rêve !!! Adi a été extrêmement prévenant avant, pendant, et après notre séjour. 

We had a fantastic time at Pacific Azure - absolutely lovely large house, very easy to share with a group of people.  Adi and Diana were always available to answer any questions or help out.  Adi helped arrange for a private chef for an evening which was absolutely delicious and a fantastic way to enjoy the house and its surroundings.  We had an extremely enjoyable time here and would recommend.

Thank you Kristy for such a nice review... I'm glad you guys enjoyed your stay and that you enjoyed our private chef as well. Welcome back anytime, Adi : )

This was the best experience I've ever had with Airbnb. We were so happy and satisfied. The people were extremely helpful and supportive, helping us to plan the adventures and activities. The house was clean, and everything worked without exception. The location is amazing, quiet, beautiful and 5min walking distance from the beach. Thank you so much, for all you did for us! Absolutely amazing! Sam

Thanks Sam, glad you enjoyed the property and the itinerary of the local tours we put together for you guys. It was a please to host, welcome back anytime! Adi : )

We really enjoyed our stay at Pacific Azure. The house is comfortable and property is absolutely beautiful. The owner was very helpful and always available to recommend a restaurant or activity. He booked all of our excursions. We did the fishing, surfing lessons, atv ride to Montezuma falls, ziplines and horseback riding and loved them all!   Tip to future visitors: expect to pay cash or the local currency for EVERYTHING including any outside activites. Only the local grocery store accepts credit/debit cards.

Thanks Stephani, thanks for leaving such a nice review. Glad you enjoyed the property and some of the local tours. Take care, Adi : )

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I was looking forward to hosting Marisel, unfortunately a couple hours after she booked  the villa, I had to notify Marisel of the fact that the villa couldn't be rented due to a last minute maintenance issue. Hopefully we get the chance to host you some other time in the near future. Best Regards, Adi : )

Our host Diana and the owner Adi were both amazing! Very helpful and responsive. They were a big help in helping us have the best stay possible.

Thanks Kenya, it was a pleasure having you guys stay at our villa. Welcome back anytime. Adi : )

We had a wonderful stay. The house is very comfortable for 10 people. The property is beautiful, including the monkeys in the trees! If we had any problems Adi or his assistant (next door) helped us immediately. Malpais is a very cool place, with lots to do for young and old alike. Very highly recommended.

Thanks Shahar appreciate the kind words, I'm glad you guys enjoyed the property and Mal Pais... Welcome back anytime! Adi : )

This was a trip of a lifetime. The appartment was beautiful, clean and in a fabulous location. Adi was the perfect host, responsive and attentive. He introduced us to lots of great people who helped make our holiday really special - from Candida and her family who cleaned and looked after the house, to Nadia doing private yoga sessions, to Miguel organising all of our tours magnificently, Douglas who was a great guide, Mickey & the team who were amazing surf instructors, Gerald who organised our car hire and transfers and Chris who cooked for us. Costa Rica is beautiful and magical and we experienced it to the full thanks to Adi and the team. We highly recommend staying there.

Thanks so much Amanda for such a nice review. It was such a pleasure having you guys, everyone here loved you guys. I'm glad you took the time to explore Mal Pais and other parts of the peninsula. You guys are more than welcome back anytime!! Take good care, Adi : )

The house was fine but with some problems, for the price I think it should not happen: The bathroom of one room water always overflows in the bathroom after the shower. The same bathroom smelled ugly. Everyday at 5:30 am Loud noises are heard houses under construction which made it impossible to sleep. Finally, one of the workers smoked on Friday and left the strong smell of cigar while we were in the pool with the kids.

Thanks for leaving us your feedback, I do apologize for the leak in one of the bathrooms. I pay close attention to our guests experience prior to their arrival and during their stay and we have already fixed that problem. As for the construction that was going on a few properties down from us, I apologize for the noise as well, but there was really nothing I could have done to prevent that. Fortunately they are almost done. I would be more than happy to host you guys again so you can have an amazing experience at our property... it's very peaceful and relaxing all year round. Best Regards, Adi : )

It was a perfect location for a big group. All clean and ready to use. The highlights are definitely the pool and Jacuzzi. We only had two nights and we would have loved to stay longer. Maybe next time!

Thanks so much for such a nice review. You guys are welcome back anytime! It was a pleasure. Best Regards, Adi : )

My family of seven, including 5 kids ranging from 15 to 3, recently stayed seven nights at Pacific Azure. It was one of the best family vacations ever. Pacific Azure was perfect for our needs. It was big enough for the family to stretch out and relax. The pool is also a great add for just spending the day lounging or unwinding after of a long day of activities. We spent most of one day grilling burgers by the pool!  Adi is more than a host. He was in contact with us throughout our time at Pacific Azure to ensure everything went well. He gave us numerous recommendations and tips to make the most of our time. Diana also was great in ensuring we had everything we needed. Minor issues were addressed quickly with no hassle.  As you might imagine, moving a family of seven from Texas to Mal Pais, Costa Rica is no small feat. Adi and his network helped us make a number of arrangements to make it a breeze.  Adi also put us in contact with Miguel at Costa Rican Tropical Tours. Miguel helped us get the most out of our time in Mal Pais with fishing, surfing, horseback riding and zip lining excursions. Plus we took a day trip to Isla de Tortuga.  While we try a different vacation each year, this is one worth repeating and it is on our short list for another trip. If we do, we will certainly book Pacific Azure.

Thanks Charles! I'm so happy you guys had such a great vacation here. It was a pleasure having all of you stay here and you are most welcome back anytime. Thanks so much and take good care. Adi : )

This place was amazing. It is very conveniently located to the main strip in Santa Teresa and access is very convenient to Playa Carmen, Santa Teresa Beach, Playa Hermosa, etc.  Adi was a great host and was very responsive to us when we had questions even weeks before the trip. He got us in touch with local people to help us book events such as surfing lessons, ziplining, a Tortuga Island tour, ATV rentals, and car rentals.  The house was extremely well maintained. It was clean and BIG. I think the pictures actually don't do it justice. The pool outside was great and we spent a lot of time there.  Adi was great throughout the trip and stopped by a couple times in person to make sure everything was taken care of and helped us out whenever we needed it.  Everything was amazing about our Costa Rica trip, in no small part due to this great house and Adi's hospitality.

Wow guys!! Thank you... : ) So happy you had a good time. What a cool crew...  would love to see you guys back here! Adi : )

Our experience at Pacific Azure was absolutely wonderful. We were welcomed and shown the property and also received some recommendations right away. Adi was amazing in responding to all questions and she also hooked us up with a great tour guide for ATVs/zip lining/waterfall hike/fishing! Great property, excellent location and fantastic host! Highly recommended.

Thanks Erin for such a nice review. It was a pleasure having you guys stay with us. Glad you enjoyed the property and some of the local tours we offer here. Best regards and would love to host you sometime again. Best Regards!

An amazing place. From the first contact Adi and Diana make you feel like family. A beautiful setting, a very well managed villa, in excellent condition and with all the necessary amenities. This added to the beauty of the Malpais makes a dream vacation. With the first visit, you'll be thinking of coming back. Super recomendada. Adi and Diana made our perfect holiday. A dream house in a natural paradise ..!

Un lugar increible. Desde el primer contacto Adi y Diana te hacen sentir como de la familia. Un entorno hermoso, una villa muy bien lograda, en excelentes condiciones y con todas las comodidades necesarias. Esto sumado a la belleza de Mal País hacen unas vacaciones del sueño. Con la primera visita ya se piensa en volver. Super recomendada. Adi and Diana made ​​our perfect holiday. A dream house in a natural paradise ..!

Muchísimas gracias Michael! Era un placer hospedar lo con su grupo. Me alegra que disfrutaste de la villa y de Mal Pais. Seria un gusto tener los aquí de nuevo. Saludos y Gracias : )

Adi + Diana were really helpful and always accessible. The house was wonderful and spacious enough for our large party. The patio and pool are definitely the highlights!

Thank you Danielle... I go it right this time ; ) for your great review. It was a pleasure to host you and the whole group. More importantly I'm glad you had a good time and enjoyed our house and your vacation. Take care!

The house is perfect, nothing more is needed, Santa Teresa is one of the best beaches in CR, I would like to come back later.

La Casa es perfecta, no se necesita nada más, Santa Teresa es de las mejores playas de CR, me gustaría volver más adelante.

Muchas gracias Mauricio por su recomendación. Era un placer de hospedar los en nuestra villa. Saludos : )

Adi was easy to communicate with, checked that we arrived and that everything worked out with the property. Diana who was on site was waiting for us when we arrived and was on hand if anything was needed and gave us tips and advice. Directions were easy to follow and we had no problems finding our way to the house. The house itself was very modern and nicely equipped with several luxurious patios and private pool. Everything was clean and tidy and the air conditioning was very modern and provided a nice cool cool. Comfortable beds with toilet and shower adjacent to each bedroom gave us comfortable rest and good comfort. The kitchens were well equipped. The only thing you were missing was the dishwasher. Our party of two families of a total of 11 people had wonderful days at this property. The surroundings were soothing with wild monkeys and birds in the trees. It took about 10 minutes by car to Santa Teresa and we were happy to have a car as most of the group wanted to surf. You could walk to a smaller beach by the sea in about 5 min-10 min where due to the cliffs it was not very suitable for surfing. However, we found that it was nice to live a bit away from St.Teresa and get to experience the night noises of nature instead of the more noisy environment inside St Teresa. 

Adi var lätt att kommunicera med, kollade upp att vi anlänt och att allt fungerade med boendet. Diana som fanns på plats väntade oss när vi anlände och fanns till hands om något behövdes och gav oss tips och råd. Vägbeskrivningen var lätt att följa och vi hade inga problem att hitta till huset. Själva huset var mycket modernt och fint utrustat med flera lyxiga ute-platser och egen pool. Allt var rent och snyggt och luftkonditioneringen var mycket modern och gav en skön svalka. Sköna sängar med toalett och dusch i anslutning till varje sovrum gav oss skön vila och god komfort. Köken var välutrustade. Det enda man saknade var i såfall diskmaskin. Vårt sällskap bestående av två familjer på sammanlagt 11 personer hade underbara dagar i detta boende. Omgivningen var rogivande med vilda apor och fåglar i träden. Det tog ca 10 min med bil till Santa Teresa och vi var glada att ha bil eftersom de flesta i gruppen ville surfa. Man kunde gå till en mindre strand vid havet på ca 5 min-10 min där det pga klipporna inte var så lämpligt för surfing. Dock upplevde vi att det var skönt att bo en bit från St.Teresa och få uppleva nattljuden från naturen istället för den mera stökiga miljön inne i St Teresa. 

Adi was incredibly helpful and responsive before and during the visit. He responded to most of my messages in less than 15 minutes, which made it very convenient to schedule all of the activities we wanted to do. He is well connected and respected in the community. While Adi doesn't live in Costa Rica full time, there is a family who lives next door to the property and does a wonderful job taking care of guests and the house. The house is true to the listing.  The location is definitely set back from the main strip (monkeys in the trees next to the house), but not inconveniently so. It's about a 7 minute drive to all the restaurants, bars, and beaches in Santa Teresa. We had a group of six guys and rented 3 ATVs for our stay. I would definitely recommend ATVs over a car (small, unpaved road). Prices should be between $50 and $60 a day depending on where you rent from. One thing that is just down the street is Mary's Restaurant, and it is wonderful. The food in general is incredibly good.  Overall this is a wonderful part of the world to see, and Pacific Azure is a great home base to explore it from.

Thanks so much Greg, I'm glad you guys enjoyed your stay and above all that you got to experience how unique Mal Pais and the surrounding area truly are. I will send your thanks to Diana and her family.  Best regards and thanks again!

Great house, pretty comfortable for all 10 guests and just a few steps from the beach. Only thing that miss was a pool for the kids. Lovely weekend with friends at Malpais!

My group of 11 had an absolutely wonderful time in Malpais and this gorgeous home was key to the experience. Situated on a beautiful lot on the fringes of the Copa Blanco Nature Reserve, this property offers privacy and seclusion while at the same time being within minutes of several popular beaches and cultural destinations.  Malpais to Cabuya Road, which runs close to the home, offers an excellent ATV/jogging route as it cuts directly through lush forest and rolling hillsides before spitting you out near the ocean, at which point you can travel along the coast to Montezuma. The fishing is great, the beaches and water sports were plentiful, and the people were very kind.  The home itself was immaculate and had plenty of space for entertaining, both inside and out. Communication with the host was easy, and having a local caretaker nearby was very convenient.   All in all, we had an excellent time and we highly recommend this property to the Airbnb community.

A great house to stay in, lovley balcony with a lot of space to sit on. And a grill that makes it even better. A real great place to relax on, and always a person that that can help you to fix cabs etc.
