Casa Tortuga - Beautiful Spacious Beachfront House - Houses for Rent in Playa Esterillos Oeste, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Very beautiful house on the beach. The property is well-equipped and comfortable. Fishermen return in the morning in their small boats, which means we can get fresh fish. Very friendly!

Très belle maison en bordure de plage. La propriété est bien équipée et confortable. Des pêcheurs reviennent le matin dans leur petites barques ce qui permet d’avoir du poisson frais. Très sympathique!

The location of this place feels isolated, with a stretch of mostly empty beach in front and a quiet neighborhood, but it is a 10-minute drive from everything you need, including restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, and tourist sites. The home is humble, clean, and has everything you need for a beach vacation. We especially enjoyed the iguana on the roof, the scarlet macaws in the tree out front, and the visiting stray cat!

Beautiful place for family vacations. The accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable with a beautiful natural setting. We were impressed to see so many red limpets :)

Hermoso lugar para vacaciones en familia. El alojamiento era amplio, limpio y cómodo con un bonito entorno natural. Nos impresionó ver tantas lapas rojas :)

Excellent location steps from the beach, where you can drink your morning coffee under a palm tree. The place has great style, with big wood furniture and terracotta floors. Well stocked kitchen. Big  porch for enjoying the view. Lots of fans and windows with screens so you can get the sea breeze. The area was very peaceful and quiet. Definitely a great spot for a quite week watching the waves and resting.

Great place to stay! Stay here if you are looking for something a little off the beaten path and peaceful.

We unfortunately had to check out early and didn’t get to enjoy this lovely home as planned, but we would have stayed longer if possible! The home is very cozy, and the location is lovely. The hosts are very responsive and were ready and willing to help us out quickly when we found ourselves in an accusations pickle. We would definitely return.

This was a great stay for me and my 6 friends. We had a lovely stay at Danny's place - location is unbeatable because you are steps away from the beach. Beware there may be some little crabs that sneak in the house, they are harmless, you can just shoo them out and be careful before putting on your shoes. It was also close to the town center if we wanted to grab a quick bite. Loved the convenience of the location.

Casa Tortuga is the best! beautiful home, viewing such a Great town! and Danny was the most helpful host! we will be back!

Great location. Great service. Very responsive to any issues or needs.

Hello James, thank you very much for your review and feedback. You're welcome to stay again in Casa Tortuga anytime. Pura vida!

The location of the house is perfect, facing the sea!! We felt very comfortable in the house, everything was in good condition, clean and tidy. We travel with 2 seniors and the house is very comfortable to accommodate a family of 4 to 6 people. We will be back !!

La ubicacion de la casa está perfecta, frente al mar!! Nos sentimos muy a gusto en la casa, todo estaba en buen estado, limpio y ordenado. Viajamos con 2 adultos mayores y la casa está muy comoda para alojar una familia de 4 a 6 personas. Volveremos !!

Muchas gracias Markus por su reseña! Estamos muy alegres que la pasaron bien en Casa Tortuga. Fue un placer hospedarlos. Vuelvan cuando gusten!

We had an amazing time!! Perfect location and the house was amazing!

It was a pleasure hosting you Emily, thanks for the kind words in the review. You are welcome back anytime in Esterillos

Great place and space! Loved the beach and quiet

Comfortable and very well located with the beach a stone's throw away...It's as seen in the advertisement...

Cabaña comoda y muy bien ubicada con la playa a un paso…Es tal cual se ve en el anuncio…

It was amazing to stay right on the beach. My family loved being able to walk out the door onto an endless, very uncrowded, beautiful beach with huge waves.

Beautiful house. Clean, nice, cozy, waterfront. We had a great time!

Hermosa casa. Limpia, agradable, acogedora, frente al mar. La pasamos muy bien

Charming house right on the beach, close walk into town, plenty of kitchen amenities for cooking at home.

Beautiful spot, beautiful place. We loved our stay.

We spent the first days of our Costa Rica tour at Casa Tortuga. Even before arrival, we had a nice contact with the landlord agency. We were very comfortable and safe in the house and its surroundings  - away from the tourist crowds. The house was cozily furnished, the kitchen well equipped (a large drinking water container and coffee were ready upon arrival), the beds were comfortable and the air conditioners in the bedrooms worked perfectly. Only the Wi-Fi reception was not always sufficient. We especially enjoyed the red macaw flying around the house over our morning coffee on the terrace. We can recommend the house with a clear conscience

Wir verbrachten im Casa Tortuga die ersten Tage unserer Costa Rica-Rundreise. Bereits vor der Ankunft hatten wir einen netten Kontakt mit der Vermieter Agentur. Wir fühlten uns im Haus und seiner Umgebung  - abseits der Touristenströme - sehr wohl und sicher. Das Haus war gemütlich eingerichtet, die Küche gut ausgestattet (ein großer Trinkwasserbehälter und Kaffee standen bei der Ankunft bereit), die Betten waren bequem und die Klimaanlagen in den Schlafzimmern funktionierten einwandfrei. Lediglich der WLan Empfang war nicht immer ausreichend. Wir erfreuten uns besonders an den um das Haus fliegenden roten Aras bei unserem morgendlichen Kaffee auf der Terrasse. Wir können das Haus mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

this place is a gem. location is perfect right on the beach. danny and his team are super responsive and helpful. local restaurant are excellent. we will definitely be returning

The good: Location, location, location. Loved sitting on the patio watching the waves. House is nice and big. We were comfortable during our 3 week stay. We felt secure, no safety concerns. Less than great: WiFi is spotty. This is apparently a Costa Rica issue? The doors can be a little tricky to lock and unlock. Just stuff: yes crabs are a thing. Apparently during the dry season they seek water and will come inside. We evicted them about every other day. Oh well. On the weekends locals spend the day across the street enjoying the beach. So it’s not a private view. Everyone was really nice and I wish that’s how it was back home!! For a few Jorge at aloha surf will set up some chairs and umbrella on the sand for you.

This house has a great location. It is steps from a beautiful beach that is no the typical tourist beach. Very peaceful, the layout of the home was perfect for our group of 7 people. We traveled with 4 adults and 3 older teenagers. The options for food are limited in the area, so I would recommend stocking up at the store and plan on cooking some meals in the home unless you are okay with going to the same place to eat for several dinner meals. The kitchen offers a great space for cooking and the backyard has a grill. I would recommend bringing your own beach towels if you want to layout on the beach ( or a portal sand free blanket) also I would be prepared to bring a few tide pods and fabric softener sheets if you plan to do laundry. If you are a sleeper who uses more than one pillow per person we also recommend bringing that as well. Something to note ( as we live in Costa Rica full time) and just want you to be prepared. There were bats in the wall of the home, the house was very clean upon arrival and very safe and secure but if you are afraid of wildlife just be aware that in Costa Rica you can experience things like an occasional crab inside the house when you are by the ocean and also things like bats find themselves a home in the walls of homes sometimes.. this is where the Pura Vida life comes in.. so just embrace the experience let the host know and keep having a great stay.. after all you are in the most bio diverse country in Latin America. We loved playing at the beach, watching the sunrise and sunsets, as well as a lighting storm across the ocean. This is house is not in a tourist town, this is a great location for the family and friends who are looking relax and be close enough to the hustle and bustle of Jaco but not in the mix of the party town. It is also great for the family and friends who just want to relax and enjoy a beautiful beach in a quaint local Costa Rican town. We would for sure stay here again and appreciate the hosts taking great care and providing enough coffee to get us through the first morning. That was wonderful and appreciated. ~ The Davis Family and friends

If privacy and private beach away from the crowds is what you are looking for then look no further! The location of the house is perfect for relaxing and for quiet time with the family. Beautiful red macawas are also part of the scenery. Will definitely rebook. I highly recommend Danny's house.

This house has a wonderful open air beach vibe! The front porch and the rollback windows in the kitchen are amazing! The beach out front is beautiful and the location is very close to groceries and restaurants! The kitchen is also nicely equipped and the washer and dryer were amazing! The beds are very uncomfortable, however. The bedrooms are very beautifully decorated but the mattresses leave something to be desired, we had trouble sleeping. Also the living room could use a full-size couch. There is a nice loveseat and a couple of arm chairs but not very comfortable. We were traveling with young children and they didn’t really have anywhere to lounge. We would return to this house! The management company was also amazing! They were on site in  minutes when we needed them and were very friendly and efficient! Thank you so much, we had a wonderful time!

The house is in a pretty remote area, however, its also not far from stuff. It is directly on the beach. It is very secure, which is nice but also made me feel paranoid about why so much security was needed... however, it did feel like a safe area. We did find lots of crabs in the showers, haha. They kept finding their way in. we enjoyed tide pooling down the beach. This beach is more for surfing than sunbathing and swimming. hosts were very attentive.

Inhabit the natural tropical setting of Esterillos beach! Enjoy the beautiful house, its fully furnished amenities, its jungle setting. A nest of scarlet macaws towered high above in trees nearby. Ocean sounds lulled us to sleep. Plenty of food options nearby.

Great place for two families to spend a few days. The tiled floors and faux clay counters were beautiful in the morning light. Michael, our assistant, helped us hire a chef, and Alberto prepared several delicious dishes for a lovely meal.

I stayed at Casa Tortuga for six nights with my parents and my husband. Let me just start by saying if you want to have a place with the beautiful ocean at your front doorstep, this is for you! The house itself is very nice, well thought out, and has plenty of places to gather or spread out and be alone. We loved how the windows really open up in the kitchen and living area, and bugs were not a problem at all, even leaving the windows open past sunset. It did get hot in the main living area in the afternoons, even with all windows open (the AC is only in the bedrooms), but they brought us a fan which really helped. The beds were comfy, a little hard for my taste, but my husband loved the firmer mattresses which seem to be the norm here. We fixed one big supper here and many big breakfasts, the kitchen was easy to use and had everything we needed. We made grilled fish on the barbecue from fish we bought that day on the beach right in front of the house! We had an unfortunate and unavoidable problem in our bathrooms but the property manager did everything in his power to diminish the inconvenience to our stay and had workers there the next day to fix it, and had someone come in and resanitize and clean the whole place for us. Overall we loved our stay here, would definitely recommend to others, and can’t wait to come back!

The location of this house is wonderful. Just steps from a beautiful, quiet beach. We loved the open air living when the windows were open. Plenty of room for our family of 6.

we loved our stay at casa toutuga- the location 50 meters from the beach can’t be beat. the hosts were responsive, kind and always willing to help. the space itself is stunning with large windows that open from the main living area with views of the ocean. the neighborhood is quiet on weekdays - you basically have the entire beach to yourself. on weekends, there is some more activity, but never any crowds. there are several excellent restaurants within walking distance. overall, a spectacular place to spend a vacation. couple of downsides. this section of the beach has very poor internet service. if you’re going to need to work from the house, do video calls or have a family that is dependent on their devices, purchase a hotspot from a cellular store or at the airport. i would not call what is available at the house wi-fi - speeds were less than 1 mbps. also, the beds and pillows are not great. the mattresses are small and firm with springs just below the surface - they make noise when you turn over. the pillows are understuffed and flat. that said, the place is a fantastic value in a killer location- we had an amazing time and would return.

If you're looking for a vacation without the "touristy" aspects, we strongly recommend this beautiful location that's off the beaten path where you can get a real taste of Costa Rica. Enjoy a truly local experience with access to everything you'll need for an amazing vacation. The Esterillos 506 team are excellent hosts!  Maicol was super attentive and resposive to everything we asked or needed. They go above and beyond.  We will absolutely stay at an Esterillos 506 property on our next visit to CR. Pura Vida!

loved the house, the town, the beach- everything!

The house is in a great location right across from the beach. It is a very quiet area and only a few blocks away from the town. We walked to a couple restaurants but it is very dark at night. The house was as pictured and is worth the value. We had a great stay, however be aware that the Internet speed is slow. You can still stream movies using Netflix or Hulu. Communication was easy too.

Overall we were very pleased with esterillos 506.  The location was perfect for our family of five who wanted to spend time surfing. The house is just steps away from the beach and there is a surf shop a short drive from the house.  The house is spacious and very practical for a large family. Kitchen was well supplied.  The host was very responsive and even helped us out when we had a minor emergency. The host was quick to reply to any needs or fixes needed.  The one major item of complaint is the speed of the Internet. At 7-8 Mbps, the badwidth and reliability of connection was not up to par, especially if you are trying to work remotely. With five people in the house trying to access the internet, the reliability was very poor. It's too bad because everything else about the rental was very, very good!

Great house across from a great surf break in a great town.

Excellent house right on the beach. Looks better than the pictures. Has absolutely everything you need. Would stay there again!

If you are seeking a bit of “old Costa Rica”, this town and house location is ideal.  Good local restaurant, groceries. Easy drive to a variety of more touristy activities. House is awesome, literally across a dirt road from the beach with mangroves in the backyard. Lots of animals and birds. Even saw a kinkajou in the backyard palm.

Amazing place to stay if you want absolutely immediate beach access and tons of beds and space to stay. Communication with the host or agents of the host is perfect and easy. absolutely amazing home with tons of security and great piece of the jungle and beach at the same time. Loved all of the extra towels and a fully stocked kitchen! Note that only one shower is actually usable and the dryer needs to be replaced. Technically it works, but it will get dried paint chips all over your clothes. 🙄 also, it would be great if they would put in more pacers so you could walk from the car parking spot to the house without tracking in so much sand and dirt.

This house was amazing. It looks exactly as advertised, and was equipped with everything we needed. We loved how the kitchen effectively opened up to the porch. We will be back as soon as we can!

Great place. Had EVERYTHING needed to be comfortable.

AMAZING location and beautiful beach house!! We were so connected with nature and the natural beauty all around us in Esterillos Oeste. The sound of the ocean at all hours of the day, the beach just steps away from your door step. I could have stayed in the hammock all day had there not been so many amazing things around to do. All people were very friendly and the town has a charm to it. We recommend eating at Los Almendros when you visit - seriously do not miss it. Overall, we loved our stay and recommend Esterillos 506 services - they were very communicative with us. They will even arrange excursions for you while you visit. They took great care of us. Thank you Esterillos 506!!

This was an amazing place.  You are (as advertised) steps away from the beach.

What a great week we had in Esterillo Oeste. We loved the house and location. We walked it the front door and went walking for miles every morning. The back yard is great and we really liked using the bbq grill. I really love having a washer and dryer on vacation so this was a huge bonus for this house. There were great options for lunch and dinner in the area. Los Almendros was our favorite and just down the road. Our hosts were very friendly and responded to our questions immediately by text. We loved Casa Tortuga.

The stay and location was great we were all happy about the layout of the house. The cooking utensils and the rooms are great. The only thing we recommend is to increase the internet speed at this time that some of us worked on our stay since the wifi connection was terrible. It is also advisable that you check the maintenance of the air conditioners provided for the visits as one fails.

La estadía y ubicación fue genial todos estuvimos felices de la distribución de la casa. Los utensilios de cocina y de las habitaciones muy bien. Los único que recomendamos es aumentar la velocidad de internet más en esta época que algunos trabajamos en nuestra estadía ya que la conexión de wifi fue fatal. Es conveniente también que revisen el mantenimiento de los aires acondicionados previó a las visitas ya que uno fallo.

This place is absolutely amazing!!! Our family had a blast playing all day in the ocean right out the front door. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. The host did a great job and offered helpful tips. We recommend 100%, and would love to return for another week in paradise.

We stayed at this home from Sat-Mon and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Immaculate home with lovely updates. We saw macaws and an iguana. Completely gated off and secure. Saturday the beach was fairly busy (with more local families it seems), but Sunday was less busy, and Monday was nearly completely empty. Esterillos is an endearing town as well. Try out Almendros and one of the Sodas in town for some good eats - so good! Hope to be back again one day! Loved our time here.

The place was really nice, perfect location, just in front of a beautiful beach with good waves to surf. Also a super quiet area, no noises at night The house is amazing, fully equipped with everything you could need. Air conditioning working perfectly, and such a beautiful garden with barbecue. The guys who look after the property treated us really well. A big pleasure. 💚🙏🏽

Casa Tortuga it’s the ideal place for relax and calm. The location is great walking distance to the center of Esterillos or by car you choose. The nearest supermarket is 5 min car ride. It’s literally in fro t of the beach and not too crowded. The area is very calm and full of nature all over. The house is very spacious, every item was choose with love and intention! Bedding and pillows are great! All rooms have AC and the kitchen fully equipped. Rest in the hammock in the terrace with the whisper of the sea at your ears. Or grab a chair and see the sunset by the beach. The house was very clean! The guys from 506 are very polite and very informed about the area and are also available one call of distance in case anything happens. We would definitely will return to CasaTortuga was above our expectations!

Great house for a big family with its prefect beach front location! House has all the amenities to make for a very comfortable stay...so enjoyed meal prep in the well-equipped kitchen while overlooking the Pacific Ocean! Large front porch was the place to be with its ocean view and breezes...the automatic iron gates provided a safe and secure feeling. Next Costa Rica trip will bring the whole family to Casa Tortuga!!!❤

What a sweet place right on the beach. We really enjoyed our stay in casa tortuga. The house felt clean and had everything one needs. The kitchen is brand new and well equipped. Super comfy and cool bedrooms. We felt safe with the security features. Great surf right up front and a wonderful place to watch sunrise and sun sets and take long strolls on the beach. We wish we would have booked for longer as this place is a real gem. We saw scarlet macaws and white face monkeys right behind the house. We will be back and definitely would recommend the place
