Casa Drop In - Villas for Rent in Santa Teresa, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

We spent 14 wonderful days at this beautiful property with our family of five and had an amazing experience. The house is set on a secluded plot surrounded by Costa Rica’s stunning landscape and wildlife, offering peace, privacy, and a truly relaxing atmosphere. It’s also just a short walk from the beach. The property was spotless, comfortable, and had a wonderful energy that made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Our favourite aspects of the property was the outdoor space. Our children absolutely loved spending time in the pool every day, while we were relaxing on the floating bed (a truly brilliant idea from Mike), practicing yoga in the shala, or exploring the surrounding jungle trails. Mike and Nicole were fantastic hosts. They were friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Mike shared great recommendations for local restaurants, shops, activities, and places to visit, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We made wonderful family memories here. Highly recommended!

Beautiful home, amazing hosts. Loved being in the middle of the forest, great place if Santa Teresa is your vibe

Location was great especially for surf. The house was relaxing, peaceful and private. While we loved walking to the beach and exploring town, staying “home” was just as enjoyable and didn’t feel like we were wasting a day. Great views and tastefully decorated you cannot go wrong. Ten stars if I could.

This is our third time staying at one of Markus' properties in Santa Teresa and it did not disappoint! Markus' homes are all truly unique and situated behind a secure gate. There are four properties, all unique and private. We stayed previously at El Camino, which we love, but this time stayed at the top of the road at Casa Drop In and it was amazing! We loved the gorgeous huge pool with ocean views, the outdoor hanging bed for lounging, and the spacious interior. You cannot go wrong with any of Markus' properties on this road- they are all thoughtfully designed and in the best location on the northern end of the main road which is more peaceful but has some of the best dining options in my opinion.

thanks Mike and Lars, it was great! the pool was great and everything else too! we will come back! regards, Christina, Stefan plus 5 kids

We loved our stay! The place was awesome The bedrooms are comfortable. We loved hanging out in the outdoor space which was beautiful and cozy. We had a beautiful view off the front porch which included the surrounding trees and a small piece of the ocean. Getting up the driveway to the house requires a 4x4 if you intend to drive to the house. Most days we walked to the beach from the house with our 8, 7, and 4 year old which was easy enough. We would definitely recommend Mikes place!

Casa Drop In was great all the way around. I picked the house for my family which included a 3 yr old , a 6 yr old and 4 adults. Below are a list of reasons why you should rent this place if it is available. 1. Location- Close to Santa Teresa (but not too close)- The house is close to town but far enough away for it to be quiet and peaceful. The home is located up a hill off the main road and feels very safe, beautiful, and private. There are several great restaurants and a small super market within walking distance. 2. Surf- there is a beach access that is a 5 minute walk from the house that allows you to get to Santa Teresa Norte. 3. House- it is beautiful and honestly looked better in person than the pictures. 4. Pool- kids loved it and it was well maintained. 5. Clean- a lady came to clean the house everyday we were there. 6. Hosts- Tamara, Mike, and Freia were super responsive and friendly. If you are coming to Santa Teresa to surf with your family book this place.

I stayed at Mike’s with my family of four (kiddos 3 & 6) and my friend’s family of 3 (kiddo 5), and we had an amazing time! The rooms were super comfortable, the outdoor area was incredible, and the property managers were a stones throw from the house and easy to access if needed. We watched monkey parades from the yoga shala almost every day, saw some beautiful birds, and were a five minute walk to the beach. Someone cleans the house EVERY DAY, which I realize now the listing might say but I didn’t know that going in - and it was such a wonderful surprise while being on vacation. The drop-in house is better in person than the photos even convey. We swam in the pool throughout the day, practiced yoga in the delightful shala, cooked almost all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen, and slept so soundly. It was perfection. *one thing, if you’re sensitive to light, bring an eye mask because the upstairs room gets a ton of morning light at 5am*

This Airbnb was amazing! We had the most amazing stay and it by far exceeded our expectations from the pictures we saw beforehand. The house manager and staff were very friendly, professional, accommodating, and organized. And overall, the location was just gorgeous. Large hill to get there but great beach access and proximity to the local grocery store. Couldn’t have asked for better.

Mike's place was amazing! It was better in person than in the photos which was a great surprise. The property manager was very responsive and always helpful. The property may be tough to find the first time but after that, it's in a beautiful location with a great view. I spent a lot of my time at the property since it had everything we needed. I recommend getting an ATV while there since the hill is quite big. 10/10 would recommend.

Casa Drop In was incredible. We had an amazing time, the house and location were perfect, the amenities, cleanliness and regular cleanings were great, and the property manager, Kim was incredibly kind and helpful. The yoga studio and access to the best massage therapist was fantastic. We loved the pool, our kids were in it nonstop! The hill up to the house is a bit steep so if you have little ones or older folks, renting an ATV is advised (and super fun)! We would highly recommend any of Mike’s properties and would love to return in the future!

AMAZING family stay. Casa Drop in is beautiful with lots of thoughtful touches. The cleaning service was great and Andreas - the groundskeeper who lives on the property was extremely helpful with whatever we needed including advice about beaches, restaurants and tours. We LOVED our time there and didn’t want to leave.

We couldn't have asked for a better rental house for our trip to Santa Teresa. Everything exceeded our expectations - the house was so well located (close to restaurants and the beach, but private and quiet), the POOL was key for the hot hot days and warm enough to hang out in all evening, the property manager Phil was so helpful (especially on the day we arrived and needed to figure out ATVs and places to grab food), and the sleeping and bathroom arrangements were just perfect for our group of 7.  We ended up renting one UTV (5 person buggy) and one 2-person ATV to help us get around. The walk up the hill is doable, but much easier with a quad. We really appreciated the daily house cleaners, especially with our frequent trips to the beach :) Don't think twice about booking Juli to come give you a massage in the Treehouse Yoga Shala... you won't regret it. We are so excited to hopefully return sooner rather than later.

We were so happy with our stay at Casa Drop In. It’s tucked away in a spot that feels remote from the main streets and nightlife so your evenings are peaceful, but still close enough to take advantage if you want to. With surfboards and a 7-year-old’s beach toys we found it easiest to rent a quad to get to the beaches we wanted to visit. The pool is amazing, the yoga area was wonderful, and I could live on the outdoor bed swing. Lovely stay.

The house is awesome, great vibe, beautiful views and outdoor area is amazing! We saw monkeys and enjoyed the space very much especially the pool! Mike and his manager Phil were easy to communicate. The rest of the staff is great too, have your place cleaned every day is awesome! Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful Casa 5 min walk up the hill in Santa Teresa. 3 larges bedrooms with own ensuites. AC & wifi worked well. Property manager was very informative & helpful. Cleaners came daily to tidy the place. Outdoor space, pool & view were the best part. Highly recommend staying here!

Amazing house and location. The hill is real but fun to jump in pool after walking up every time! Phil (caregiver) lives down the road and is SUPER helpful. Hope to stay again!

Casa Drop In is a lovely house on the hill side, just by the forest with ocean views. We easily housed a family of 5 and enjoyed many sunrises and sunsets in the open areas and lovely pool. Well kept and great service by the staff

AMAZING! No other way to describe this place. We had monkey parades several times. Howlers waking us up every morning. The short walk to the beach and cafes/restaurants was so convenient. The pool after a day at the beach was exactly perfect. It's in the best location for Santa Teresa too. The town is exploding right now, and this place is on the north side of town, away from the chaos of Playa Carmen. Perfect! Phil, the property manager, was wonderful, very responsive and always upbeat. We'll definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing! Looks even better than the pictures! The pool is awesome, house is spacious and comfortable. It’s a quick walk to restaurants and the beach! Definitely use 4x4 or park at the bottom and walk up! We rented quads and it was perfect!

We stayed at Casa Drop in with our two kids and we loved it. Beautiful and spacious home with all the amenities you could possibly need! The pool is great and to be able to use the yoga Shaka was a real plus for us! Beautiful views of the ocean and you can even hear the sound of the waves! Definitely would recommend a 4x4 as its a bit of a climb up the hill! Mike was a great and very responsive host, with great knowledge of the area!

this house NOT for families ! dangerous for children below 6 years old ! 1. there is mad in the toilet that probably ciuse by a leaking , 2. the picturesthey advertised in airbnb isfar from the reality. 3. the hot water in the room on the right side are not working . 4. the host didn'teven come to check whenwe complained about the how watter , he just saidto me"sorry my shift is done for today" 5. I really don't recommend this place as it feels like hostel not like a luxury house . 6. the price really don't worth it.

Hello Nir First, thank you for your stay. I am more than sad, you had 2 such "horrible" nights at my place.  We are a family with 3 kids. The Drop In was my family home before and my Kids grow up in this house. I never had the impression the house is dangerous for my kids. I am happy to welcome a lot of families, with small kids at the Drop In and never received such a horrible review. It would be helpful to know details of what's so dangerous. This would give me the chance to change things for the next family.  You asked for a early check in wich we declined because, we do need our time to clean the house proper. Especially now with COVID! Our cleaning ladies did a proper cleaning before you checked in. My wife Nicole (wich you like to call darling instead of her name) double checked the house and told me it was very clean. After being 22times super host is this our standard! You were angry, because you had to check out at 10am. These details are easy to find at the advertisement. Probably better to check before booking a place . I also did provide you with this information, as well all the check in details and more after booking.   The house has a water heater. It takes usually a view seconds to get hot water. Philip went after you "complain", he past by to check the water (only your nany was at home). He showed her the water works, wich she confirmed too!  Someone destroyed a chair, the cover of a wall, which was thrown into the pool. You described tis to my wife as a piece of art? We have to repair the wall and to do a extra pool cleaning for our next check in at the same day.   Hope you will have a better and more relaxing stay at your next place. Hopefully with less fighting with you wife (because you are more than loud, and even my other guest's asked what happen.)   Respecful Mike

we had a great time at casa drop in, and philipp was very helpful throughout.

Best air bnb we have ever stayed in by far. Super close to everything but also secluded, private, peaceful, and safe. The house is up a bit of a hill but the silence and view make it more than worth it, and we even enjoyed the hill for some extra exercise each day. One of the best surf breaks in Santa Teresa (no matter if you are beginner or have been surfing forever) is only a 5 minute walk from the house and the super market is even closer. The beds are insanely comfortable (and huge), hot water, air conditioning, fully stocked kitchen, and good wifi. No other way to describe this place besides paradise. We would live here forever if we could! 10/10 recommend :)

Thank you very much Mike! Excellent place, very creative and unique place. Spacious house, private pool, private bathrooms, all implements and a terrace to compete.

¡Muchas gracias Mike! Excelente lugar, muy creativo y único. Casa amplia, piscina privada, baños privados, todos los implementos y una terraza para competir.

Casa Drop In is an amazing place!!! Mike is an excellent host and everything about the place is just as it’s listed. Short walk to the best surf in Santa Teresa. Just far enough from the main center of town to still be close but far enough from everything to enjoy the jungle and surroundings. The room upstairs has an amazing view of the stars, and every morning we saw a family of monkeys. Just remember to have amazing jungle views you have to be on a hill in the jungle so have a 4x4 or be fit enough for a gentle stroll up the hill. Only 5 min walk to beach is definitely accurate so don’t be a wimp; your in Costa Rica, enjoy and Pura Vida.

The perfect place! We really enjoyed the pool and patio-area. Big and clean house! Really recommend this house to anyone staying in Santa Teresa.

The house is spacious with a great shaded outdoor area for dining and relaxing on hammocks. The pool is large and great to keep kids entertained for hours. The kitchen is fully equipped. supermarket And entrance to the beach is only a few min walk. I would return, good job Mike

Casa Drop in was a magical gem!! So happy to have stayed here! Everything was perfect and I would recommend to anyone looking for a memorable place to stay! The host were super friendly The beds were super cozy The views were amazing! Do yourself a favor and stay here!!!

Drop in is an incredible private getaway with an incredible view. The house/bedrooms was cleaned daily which was very impressive and mike and nicole were very responsive and welcoming.

A great place, can recommend to everybody, we as a family of 7 had a wonderful time

Mike and Nicole are the best. You could not ask for a better way to experience Santa Teresa. They were very accommodating and the house is beautiful. The location is fantastic. The beach is a 5 minute walk from the end of the driveway and the supermarket is just 100 meters down the road. Just past the supermarket, the restaurants begin. All have fantastic food and live music is everywhere. Every recommendation Mike gave me was extremely helpful. The taxi service, restaurants, ATV rentals, surfing rentals, Lucas (private chef for a night, highly recommended). The trip would have been completely different without his help and we would have missed out on our best experiences. Mike and Nicole were there to answer any questions we had and their cleaning staff was wonderful. I truly can’t think of a better way to experience the area.

Great place, great location, super friendly hosts. Highly recommend staying there.

Casa Drop-In is a real gem.  We totally felt like we scored when we rolled up for the first time and saw the place and the pool.  Very comfortable and stylish, a sweet little retreat not too far from the amenities of Santa Teresa but just far enough to feel some peaceful seclusion.  Pura Vida!

Mike and his wife are amazing hosts. They took care of us during our whole stay, gave great recommendations and made us feel at home all the time. The place is great! Big pool, beautiful house, good location and very conformable for a group of 8 people, with kids as well. I would definitely recommend Mike's place and would suggest to rent an ATV to see all the great spots you can visit in Santa Teresa.

I will recommend Casa Drop In to anyone and everyone who wants to come to Santa Teresa and spend an unforgettable holiday. Casa Drop In was such a beautiful place that I hope I can return soon. I do congratulate and thank Mike, our host, for creating such a lovely and sacred place in the middle of Gaia/Mother Earth where Monkeys serenade you in the morning with their unique tunes, where the full moon dances with the trees and stars reflected in the beautifully designed pool. Casa Drop In is an open style house but also cozy and private. It is located near everything you need but also far from the dust and noise of the city. We enjoyed using the ATVs that Mike kindly booked for us to move around, but also enjoyed from time to time the small walk from the main road to the house. The beach nearby was beautiful and we were lucky enough to witness the birth of sea turtles on New Years Eve, indeed a mystical and magical experience. Mike was a great host, and so were his cute dogs who paid us daily visits with pampering love! Mike kindly welcomed me and my guests with Costa Rican cold beers which was just perfect for us to settle in from our long trip. He also provided us with a map of the area, an exclusive list of delicious restaurants and places to visit as well as activities to do. He made our stay as convenient, accommodating, relaxing and delightful as possible. I do hope to return soon to this magical and peaceful place under the stars, between the mountain and the sea! Thanks Mike and have a wonderful year and Pura vida!

Mike was a great host. Very thoughtful and accommodating. He is well connected with other businesses in Santa Teresa and can provide many recommendations. Everything met the description.

Mike is an amazing host as he is truly connected in the area with what is best to do and with whom. The home was perfect for our families. Open space but with enough privacy for some. The pool and patio was our favorite spot to hangout and drink beer, listen to the birds, and enjoy the scenery. You can also hear the beach waves from the home. We saw fireflies one night. Enjoyed the daily visits from Mike's dog. Location was perfect. Loved getting around on ATV's!!! We felt like all our needs were met here. This was one of our all time favorite places. There were time the kids just wanted to hangout at the house! Thank you Mike for making us feel so comfortable. Amazing property for any lucky guest to have a dream vacation.

Mike and Natalie are exceptional hosts. The house is perfect to get away but close enough to get in to town for food or activities. We just sat on the porch a couple days and relaxed in the pool. Monkeys visited us the last day it was perfect. 

Mike was the perfect host. He was very helpful and offerred advice on anything we asked. He even made us feel secure when there was threat of a hurricane ( once in a 100 year event, so orobably no need to worry about that!!) The grounds are lovely. The pool is the perfect size for a swim when a break from the beach is needed. While the kitchen is nice there are many great restaurants in the area. The house had a list of reccomended ones. We would definitely reccomend renting quads. The house is right outside the mainnstrip, so you get the quietness of the forest and still able to walk. 4 wheelers allow you to explorer more freely. Great experience. Thanks mike !

We loved our stay at Casa Drop In! Mike was an awesome host and was incredibly helpful. He arranged for ATV's to be delivered and picked up (by far the best way to get around and fun too!), had endless recommendations and was able answer every question we had during our stay.   All of the activities and restaurants that Mike recommended were some of the best parts about our trip; Montezuma zip line, sunset at Vista De Olas, Hermosa Beach...  We were a group of three couples, so the house was well suited for us. It was clean, the beds were comfy and it was nice to be able to cook meals at the house. It was also really nice to come back to the beds made and floors cleaned, especially after a long day at the beach or on the ATV.   I will definitely miss the hammock naps...

We had a wonderful and adventurous time in Cost Rica. My family stayed at Mike place for 3 nights. The pool was perfect, The house is what you would expect it to be in in Santa Teresa, tropical With an outdoor living . Loved it and would go back.

Casa Drop in is a wonderful dream house! With a lot of personal design and atmosphere! The terrace with the hammock is a really peaceful place and offers you relaxing memories to bring back home! The pool is great and has great view over the sea. Mike is a great host! He welcomed us with fruits and cold drinks in the fridge. He was very helpful with everything and since he lived next door he was always available to help out. Santa Teresa is beautiful with many different beeches and you can walk down to the beach from the house. But it's s very steep road to get to the house and you really need some kind of transportation to fully enjoy Santa Teresa and the surrounding beaches and the restaurants are spread out along the main road and it's not so easy to reach by foot You can't drink the water so you need to buy it from the store or pay Mike to deliver it to the house. We loved to stay in Casa drop in and really enjoyed are stay and surely recommend it!

Casa Drop In is an absolute oasis in Santa Teresa. The location is the perfect, you are not in the bustle and dust of downtown Santa Teresa/Mal Pais, but you have everything you need right there. We can not imagine a better place to stay, both from the perspective of family friendliness and as a surf base camp. The house is clean and modern but has a great funky vibe and feels like home. The three bedrooms are big and all have king beds. Two extra beds are in the indoor living-room areas and can easily fit on the floor of the third room, we had four kids happily bunked in there, while the two couples had there own rooms. All rooms have AC, but you don't really need it because the house is exposed to the breeze that blows in the hills. The outdoor patio has seating for everyone and you will spend all your time out there rocking in chairs or swinging on the multiple chillaxing type seats. The pool is fantastic and you have very good privacy. Mike has a house nearby and he is a fantastic host. He is very discrete and he gives his guests as much privacy as they want. We were always walking over to his house just to talk with him because he is such a cool friendly guy. He is a snowboarder/surfer that moved here with his family and has a strong local status. He knows all the good places and is happy to set up reservations and make suggestions. He is exactly the type of laid-back host you want as a guide and friend while you are here. The best thing about Casa Drop In is the proximity to the beach. You just walk down the driveway directly onto a little jungle path that takes you to the perfect, and in my opinion, the best surf spot in Santa Teresa. Access to this surf break from the house is all together a 5 min walk. At the beach there are multiple peaks you can ride as rights or lefts and the beach does not have the crowds you see near downtown Santa Teresa. The beach is beautiful and our 7-11 year old kids played in the surf and hunted for shells for hours at a time. From where the jungle path dumps you out on the beach, It is an easy walk up the beach to a great kid friendly beach bar for sunset cocktails. The other great convince with Casa Drop In is that local super market is also just a 5 minute walk. We would walk down each day with our grocery bags and stock up for our meals. But if your not in the mood to cook, there are also a couple of really nice restaurants you can walk to as well. Overall we were incredibly happy with Mike and Casa Drop In and we highly recommend you stay here. 

Wow, thanks a lot Ryan. I am very happy you had a great time. Keep some Pura Vida.  Pura Vida Mike
