Our week at Nekaui was absolutely amazing, and we can't wait to go back. The property and location are even better in person, and Glori is the best host we have ever encountered. She helped us at every turn, giving us perfect recommendations and going way above and beyond even on her day off! I can't recommend this home and location enough! Thank you so much, and we really can't wait to return!

Nekaui is a paradise on the beach and in the center of the town. With the best manager Glori! She took care of everything! And great communication with her and lovely stuff - Rosa, Julio and Chepe. Great location, you can walk to shops and restaurants. And you can swim in the warm ocean as much as you wish, beach is just in front of the property. Priperty is very clean and we maintained. Beautiful sunsets. Only the the best experience for our family of four and 2 friends. Already waiting to come back!

Loved the house and will be back again.  Glori was glorious.

Super location, beautiful property. As described.

Absolutely amazing!!! Nekaui is a beautiful property literally steps away from a beautiful beach with awesome views. It's a great location hosted by the best staff possible! Glori is the best host you could possibly dream of and was very good at communicating with us before our arrival, and took care of our every need once we arrived. She made us feel welcome and always had great recommendations. She has a great local network for activities and experiences with reputable and easy to work with folks (surfing, horseback riding, yoga, restaurants, etc.). Rolando is an amazing local chef who prepared a great meal at Nekaui for us one evening. The property is well-kept by the groundskeeper and the staff served us breakfast and cleaned the place every day. We always felt safe in Santa Teresa, but the nighttime security guard adds peace of mind. Close to everything yet private and secluded. Highly recommend if you're traveling to Santa Teresa, there can't be a better place!

Could not have been better. Have been to ST a number of times, and this is our new favorite place to stay when we go.

The property is a paradise, steps from the beach and the main street of Santa Teresa

La propiedad es un paraíso, a pasos de la playa y de la calle principal de Santa Teresa

We had an amazing stay! The house and all its amenities were fantastic. The location truly can't be beat! we walked to restaurants and the beach was fantastic.

Wonderful property on the beach with very comfortable accommodations and great staff. The place has an amazing location of the busy downtown but is a quiet oasis on the beach.

This property is in a prime location and the staff of the property are great.  You will feel like you’re still in a very rural location and love walking out the door of your villa to the beach literally steps away.  Great outdoor seating to take in the sunsets and nap and lounge. Great restaurants and amenities nearby.  We did not want to leave.

Exceptional location, staff, and experience!  A must!

Nekaui was perfect for 8 of us for 3 nights stay. The place: - beautiful, right on the beach with tide pools but still felt private enough, hammocks, option to set up a grill, a pool, outdoor showers etc etc - right in the middle of the town; we didn’t have a car but felt like we could get to great restaurants, cafes, stores etc easily. We did get ATVs one day and it was delivered to us - separate villas with a main house for gathering, which was great for us since some of us could stay up later without keeping others up with noise. Staff: - Glori, the property manager was amazing. Incredibly responsive and everything she recommended was amazing from food to rentals. We actually has to go see a doctor and she even came with us to make sure we were alright! - We also had house keeping from Joli who also prepared coffee and breakfast for us. At first we weren’t sure we’d need the housekeeping but turns out we’d track in a lot of sand and were ultimately grateful to have it cleaned daily. - There were minor issues that were promptly dealt with since they have maintenance onsite daily as well All in all, I would highly recommend Nekaui if you are in Santa Teresa!

Can’t say enough good things! Amazing location. Attentive staff made for a wonderful stay.

This place is amazing, way better than I imagined and I do quite a bit of Airbnb’s . How can you beat being steps away from the ocean and some of the best surf in the World. What made this place so amazing was Glori and the staff. Very attentive and so nice. Glori is the best, she took care of all our needs and questions. Such a great spirit. Hope I can go back soon.

Nekaui is a fantastic place to stay in Santa Teresa.  It is right on the beach and centrally located in town.  The interiors are well designed and have a high end aesthetic.  Glori the house manager is beyond helpful and goes out of her way to make sure that you are enjoying your stay.  The sunset cocktails each night are also a very nice touch.  I highly recommend staying there!

We loved staying at Scott's place.  The team are top notch, location is perfect.  We will be back!

I have been to many places inside and outside the country, that place for some reason felt different it exceeded my expectations in many ways. The place is magical and the services provided were incredible. Having a beachfront house plus all the added details such as the Pool, and the details of the house. I recommend the place 100%

He estado en muchos lugares dentro y fuera del país, ese lugar por alguna razón se sintió diferente sobrepasó mis expectativas en muchos sentidos. El lugar es mágico y los servicios brindados fueron increíbles. Tener una casa frente a la playa más todos los detalles agregados como la Picina, y los detalles de las casa. Recomiendo el lugar 100%

In a perfect place! It has everything! It's very nice and very well cared for and renovated, spacious and cool kitchen, pool, beachfront, dinner stay at night under the stars, security, bbq, everything is thinking so you don't need to leave that paradise in days! We will definitely be back!!!

En un lugar perfecto! Tiene todo!! Areas lindisimas y muy bien cuidadas y renovadas, cocina amplia y fresca, piscina, frente a la playa, estancia para cenar en las noches bajo las estrellas, seguridad, bbq, todo es pensando para no necesitar salir de ese paraíso en días! definitivamente volveremos!!!

My extended family and I had an amazing time staying at Punta Coco!! I have been to Santa Teresa two other times and the location of the house was by far the best out of all of my stays!  We were right on the beach near tide pools for the kids during low tide and a short walk to surf spots.  When we weren’t swimming, surfing or exploring, the  kids enjoyed the pool and hammocks!  There was a grocery store right across the street from the house and many restaurants within walking distance..... a car is really not needed.  Glori, Jolie, Dennis and Jose were all so nice and helpful during our stay!  We are already planning another trip next year!

Gloriana was amazing. She was very responsive and a real pleasure. She can do anything and is on call to help. She set us up with surf lessons, gave us restaurant recommendations, and helped us find a chef to cook a couple meals at the house. The spot is perfect for an extended family or group of friends. The porch looks right out onto the ocean and the beach is right there! There's also a small pool that's great for young kids. It was nice to have a main house for gathering, sitting and meals, as well as private spaces with separate bedrooms and bathrooms, all newly and tastefully refurnished and very comfortable. The location is perfect, not only for watching the waves and long beach walks, but also for restaurants and groceries. An unexpected bonus was having Joli come every day to clean. We also hired her to prepare a couple meals of local food for us, which was wonderful. All highly recommended. We loved our stay and will return.

i highly recommend this place to anyone as our family of 8 stayed here for 5 nights and had a wonderful experience. Here are some of the things we enjoyed: Amazing location/ beachfront views Casita style layout perfect for large groups or a big family Wonderful staff Modern updates Extremely clean Secure and private

Great place! Location right on the beach. This is the best place to stay in Santa Teresa. Beautiful amenities and great service from the host.

As frequent travelers we were a bit apprehensive to stay at an Airbnb that had no reviews and we would be the first to stay there. That being said, every place has to start somewhere and in this case we are HONORED to be the first ones to enjoy this magical beach property. From the moment we booked, Scott/Don were in complete communication every step of the way. We were traveling with 20 of our friends (10 stayed on this property and we rented the main house with both casitas). They were there with advice and helped us plan a surprise dinner for my girlfriend’s birthday, set up ATV rentals and gave us recommendations/contacts for boating/fishing/surfing/sunsets/food/errand running/anything we could possibly want. This is our second time in Santa Teresa and were familiar with the area but all of their help made our trip SO much better. LOCATION: Can’t get any better. On the beach. With a pool - you might think a pool is unnecessary but it oh so nice when you want to relax without dodging incoming waves. There aren’t exact addresses in Santa Teresa but Punta Coco is right next to Rancho Burger. ‘Super Ronny’ the convenience store is just outside the gate as are great coffee shops (Zwart) and food options (Rancho Burger, Earth) — all walkable. COMFORT: Beds, towels and linens were super plush. Waterfall showers. AC in each bedroom and main house were magnificent. Ice machine, French press, etc all made us feel like we were at home. 2 hammocks in the front yard and the ability to open all the doors in the main house to have an “outdoor” kitchen were superb. Best place to watch the sunset? Just outside your front door. STAFF: Alvin and his wife Jollie were there to clean and maintain the property basically 24:7 as well as a nightly security guard with his adorable dog ‘FritoLay’. They made sure you had anything and everything you needed without being in your space. They returned money, cell phones and anything else our friends left around the property. Alvin even took me out to show me how he night fishes in the tide pools. Jollie made us a beautiful fresh fruit plate every morning (per request). CLEANLINESS: Everything was brand new and glorious when we arrived and Jollie cleaned each morning to ensure that cleanliness our entire trip (despite having so many people enjoying the space). Alvin cleaned the pool/grounds every morning as well. I want to thank Don/Scott and their team for making this trip so wonderful and easy. We’ve only just returned home but are already planning our next trip back to Punta Coco.
