Casa Claro de Luna - Five Bedroom House. - Chalets for Rent in Santa Elena, Costa Rica

The place is super nice and comfortable for a large group or family. Surrounded by nature, very peaceful. We had a great time. Ericka is very friendly and helpful

El lugar super bonito y comodo para un grupo grande o familia. Rodeado de naturaleza, muy pacifico, la pasamos excelente. Ericka muy amable y atenta

Wow, we were so blessed that Casa Claro de Luna was available for our stay in Monteverde! It feels like a cozy and luxury home right in the heart of Santa Elena. We were able to walk to breakfast each morning and look at all the cute shops! But, what really made our stay special was the AMAZING customer service provided by Manfred, Ericka’s co-host.♥️ He was extremely welcoming when we arrived, was able to make great food/sunset recommendations, and booked incredible zip lining and a night hike for us! He took the time to get to know our group, and made sure our baby was comfortable during our stay! 100% would recommend this stay to everyone!

We absolutely loved our stay in Monteverde! The cozy home was perfectly nestled in the area's natural beauty, offering privacy while still being an easy walk to town. The views and the overall atmosphere were among the highlights of our trip. Ericka was an incredibly friendly and accommodating host, and we really appreciated being able to check in early. Having Soda Amistad right across the street was a bonus, the food was absolutely delicious. We would happily stay here again!

Ericka’s place was perfect. We all felt right at home. The place was huge and fit all 8 of us with room to spare. Would definitely recommend staying here. Close to Cloud Forest reserve.

It's a wonderful, spacious, and cozy house We had a wonderful weekend with my family. Very comfortable, nice and 100% equipped I recommend this house for families or large groups, as it has 5 bedrooms and 7 full bathrooms

Es una casa maravillosa, espaciosa y acogedora Pasamos un fin de semana maravilloso con mi familia. Muy cómoda, linda y 100% equipada Recomiendo esta casa para familias o grupos grandes, ya que tiene 5 habitaciones y 7 baños completos

It was a lot of fun staying at the place, even if it was for one night.

היה כיף מאוד להתארח במקום אפילו שזה היה ללילה אחד.

We had a great stay at Erica's.  the location was great, very walkable and lots of beautiful scenery.

This house is great for families who want to visit the area with children. We really enjoyed the house, and the location was close to everything.  We loved this house and would definitely come back.

Esta casa es excelente para familias que quieren visitar la zona con niños. Disfrutamos mucho la casa y la ubicación estaba cerca de todo.  Nos encantó esta Casa y volveríamos sin duda alguna.

Charming older wooden villa that’s within walking distance of the main town area.  We had some issues with plumbing but Erika was very responsive to the issues and refunded the last night to ensure our stay was comfortable. Kitchen/dining area has all the basic things but could have been larger to accommodate the 10 of us.  Surrounding gardens are nice to walk in.

Great place to stay in Monteverde!  Walkable to town, safe, beautiful home and grounds.

We LOVED this home and would highly recommend it! There were 10 of us - 2 families with 6 total kids ranging from ages 3 to 14, and the house was comfortable and spacious for us all. The property itself is beautiful, with pretty landscapes to walk and relax in on property, a stunning view of the mountains, and even some fresh raspberries to pick, which our little ones loved. The location is perfect. Driving is challenging in Monteverde, but you can walk to many restaurants and markets whenever you need from this property. On one final note, the women working in reception were so friendly. Our littlest daughters kept wanting to visit them and drew them pictures, they were so kind. They were also helpful to the adults, with laundry service and even helping make a take out order when we were a little stuck. We would come back and strongly encourage anyone visiting the area to book this beautiful home!

The house is beautiful, spacious, and everything is very nice. Both Ericka and the girls at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. They helped us at all times and gave us many recommendations for places to visit. The place is very close to downtown; there are delicious restaurants and plenty of things to do. Would definitely recommend!

La casa es hermosa, espaciosa y todo está muy bonito. Tanto Ericka cómo las chicas de la recepción fueron muy amables y serviciales. Nos ayudaron en todo momento, y nos dieron muchas recomendaciones de lugares para visitar. El lugar está muy cerca del centro, hay restaurantes deliciosos y varias cosas por hacer. Definitivamente lo recomendaría!

Fantastic location. Walking distance to shops and restaurants

Ericka was so sweet! The place was beautiful and serene. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

We loved Casa Claro De Luna! There were 6 of us, two families, and we had plenty of space. Beautiful views, cozy, and within walking distance to plenty of places to eat and shop. The grounds are so lovely and we even had a sloth hanging out in a tree right by the house! Ericka is a wonderful, kind host and we’re super grateful to her for an excellent stay! We would highly recommend it!

The house was ideal for our group, we were a family of 7 adults and a girl, it is very, very spacious so we could be very comfortable and with privacy. We loved the breakfast buffet option because the price is very good and the quality of the food is also good. It is a rustic house and you feel the closeness to nature, from the strong sound of the wind at night, to the presence of some species of insects inside the house, but it is worth it if what you are looking for is a stay close to the landscapes and wildlife of this wonderful place that is Monte Verde.

La casa fue ideal para nuestro grupo,  que eramos una familia de 7 adultos y una niña, es muy, muy amplia por lk cual pudimos estar muy agosto y con privacidad. Nos encantó la opción del desayuno buffet pues el precio de éste es muy bueno y la calidad de la comida también. Es una casa rústica y se siente la cercanía con la naturaleza, desde el fuerte sonido del viento por las noches,  hasta la presencia de algunas especies de insectos dentro de la casa, pero vale la pena su lo que buscas es una estancia  cercana a los paisajes y vida silvestre de este maravilloso lugar que es Monte Verde.

Nice place for a big group.  Had a very memorable stay.  Enjoy a night walk and ziplining.  Bon Appetite was a great place to eat dinner.

This place was even better than the picture. The host was extremely helpful and friendly. As promised the breakfast was great. The location was also inviting and walkable to restaurants. Overall great experience. We were there for only 1 night. Wish we were staying these longer.

Place not clean, bed sheets creepy with Disney princess under sheets, ants on beds, soap and shampoo dispenser doesn't work, toilets clog, no Heater, extra blankets in closet  not clean . Overall very bad experience

Thank you for your feedback. Indeed, during your stay, we were informed about a clogged toilet, which was addressed immediately by our team. After inspection, it was determined that the clog was due to the improper use of toilet paper. At Hotel Claro de Luna, we have clear protocols for the use and maintenance of our facilities, and we always act promptly when a guest reports any issue. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate the opportunity to clarify what happened.

Had a charming stay!  Our family of 7 had plenty of space. The home was charming - rustic and comfy.  Our host was very helpful giving us tips and guidance on local places - really appreciate her help in getting us set up with a driver to get us to a night jungle tour, dinner and back to our place.   Great location - walkable to downtown.   Scenery from glass wall from our kitchen and living room was breathtaking.  Gardens are absolutely gorgeous.   Recommend!

We loved our stay and how close it was to town. We could walk around without having to find parking. Loved the separate bathrooms for each room. The kids loved the upstairs rooms.

Great place to stay for families visiting Monteverde. Erica was fantastic and super helpful! She booked our night tour and bridge tour! The breakfast was great too! This is a unique property walkable to town in a beautiful garden surrounding!

We rented the villa for 11 people. The villa is very spacious, and very pretty. it has a very nice charm. Beds are confortable. Bathrooms are large. The kitchen is well equipped. Very nice view from the balcony. Breakfasts are available at an additional cost but very reasonable and very nice. The team is extremely friendly and super helpful. They organised some of our activities locally which was really appreciated. While we were there, major flooding happened in several parts of the countries. The team called our next hotel to ensure all was well there and the roads were opened. This was really above and beyond what we expected. I fully recommend this place.

This was a great place to stay with our large family! Having so many bathrooms  kept mornings efficient. The breakfast buffet was delicious and a very fair price. The house isn’t brand new/luxury, but it is very charming, has everything we needed, and is surrounded by beautiful gardens. Being right in Santa Elena was very convenient and it’s a great location for short drives to multiple attractions. We could have stayed longer and found plenty to do.

We are a family of 5 with a baby and we absolutely loved our stay at Erika's place! The house was spacious, comfortable, clean, and had the best walkable location near town. Would 100% recommend for big families and friends!

Thank you so much for welcoming us so warmly and for the local recommendations. My family had an unforgettable experience. My nieces were delighted with the place, saying it felt like a treehouse, and my foreign husband thought that the walk to breakfast through the lush garden was like a tropical version of Narnia.

Very good location and spacious accommodation for up to 3 families

Tres bien situé et logement spacieux jusqu’à 3 familles

The house was clean and spacious for 9 people with close proximity to supermarket and restaurants which was definitely a plus.  However, this was something between a hotel and hostel. There were people below us that got annoyed with our footsteps.  This was not ideal, especially since we are two families with kids between 8 and 15 who aren't exactly tip toeing around.  Not a huge deal, but it was something we tried to be mindful of since there were people below us.  The primary reason I give this place two stars is because they completely ripped us off with the laundry.  We gave them one bag of laundry the first day and they charged $50 (US).  This was a complete surprise and not something that happens at a 4 or 5 star place.

I was traveling with two families of four, and we collectively agreed on what a great spot this was for all of us. The kitchen was well equipped and the entire house was spacious. We recommend getting the breakfast at the mess hall, even if as an excuse to roam the beautiful grounds. We definitely left wishing we’d reserved more time at this property.

Great location and functional! There were 12 of us and everything was perfect!

Bien situé et fonctionnel ! Nous étions 12 et tout c’était parfait!

We had a wonderful stay, perfect location and lots of space for our group. We would recommend to anyone visiting the area!!

Spacious and clean cottage. Optional breakfast with $6 pp was a nice addition. Plenty of rooms as described. Highly recommended.

Great spot overall! The location was perfect—an easy walk to the downtown area with shops and restaurants nearby. The space itself was roomy and had a rustic charm that gave it lots of character. It did have a bit of a musty smell, but considering the rainy season, that might be understandable. If you're looking for a spacious and well-located place with a cozy, cabin-like feel, this is a great pick. Just be aware it leans a bit more rustic than polished.

Awesome place and easy check in process. Reception was very helpful and friendly.

Erika and Kesler were exceptional at making sure we had everything we needed, helping to book transportation and activities. Very responsive and proactive. The house is beautiful, spacious and incredible windows for viewing nature. The property also has amazing gardens where you can easily find birds.  Walkable to downtown and many restaurants and stores.  In the morning Claro de Luna provides delicious traditional Costa Rican breakfast for a very reasonable cost.  Highly recommend!

Perfect place to stay in Monteverde. The house was great each bedroom had its own bathroom and the add on breakfast was fabulous. The gardens and grounds surrounding the house were beautiful

The location was excellent, conveniently close to Santa Elena.  We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast.  The private parking with security was a plus.  The accommodations were stunning and impeccably clean.  Our group of eight each had a private room with its own bathroom. We would definitely stay there again.

Ericka was very helpful and it was a great place to stay.

we had a big group and this house was able to accommodate all of us.  beautiful house with lots of space. each room had its own bathroom! Great location, walking distance to the town

Staying at Ericka’s home in Monteverde was a truly delightful experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed. Ericka is an incredible host, making sure every detail was taken care of, and her kindness shines through in every interaction. The property itself is beautiful—nestled in nature, with a peaceful garden that reflects the family's love for outdoor spaces. It’s clear that Ericka and her family take pride in maintaining a clean, comfortable, and inviting environment. Monteverde’s stunning scenery and charm made my stay even more memorable. Whether you're here to explore the cloud forest or simply relax in a cozy home, this Airbnb is a perfect choice. I would happily return!

This home was great for our group of 10. The grounds are beautiful and the location is within walking distance from eating and shopping. Erika was very good at communicating and helpful with all of our questions. The breakfast that she provided each morning for a very small price was delicious.

The location is at great place , near downtown. Walking distance to great restaurant and minimum drive to tourist places like Night walk tour and etc. I recommend this place for group of people for sure.

The house was huge and beautiful! Plenty of space and bathroom for everyone. We enjoyed the landscaping on the paths through the property and the proximity to town is perfect.

Very comfortable 1 night stay and everyone was so pleasant.  Wonderful location right in town.

We had an amazing stay at Barrio Orquídeas in Santa Elena! The house was spacious, clean, and comfortable, easily accommodating our group of seven. The common areas were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Monteverde. The location was ideal, close to the town center yet quiet and surrounded by nature. We loved waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying the serene environment. Joselyn was incredibly helpful, providing us with great recommendations for activities and dining options. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our two nights in Monteverde. Highly recommend this property for families or groups looking for a cozy and convenient home base. Thanks Ericka!

Great Place!!! Great host!!! Thank you!

The house is as detailed, we paid an additional of $6 for breakfast and it was excellent.

La casa es como se detalla, pagamos un adicional de $6 por desayuno y fue excelente.

Very satisfied. Easy check-in, spotless place and as described. Located within walking distance to Santa Elena village. Immediate response from employees when we asked for info or something about the house. I would highly recommend it. Thanks Ericka!

Très satisfaits. Arrivée facile, endroit impeccable et conforme aux photos e à la description. Située à quelques minutes à pied du village de Santa Elena. Réponse immédiate des employés lorsqu’on demandait des infos ou quelque chose concernant la maison. Je recommande fortement. Merci Ericka!

Ericka was a great host.  The location is great and you can walk to town very easily.  The home was perfect for our group.

We absolutely loved staying here. Tucked away, yet in the heart of Monteverde at the same time. Five bedrooms (each with their own bathroom!!!) and a beautiful big dining room table to gather made it perfect for us. Do not hesitate—stay here!!

This was the perfect place to stay in Santa Elena.  Rustic but in a very good way.  The house was right next to downtown, but still surrounded by trees and plants.  We enjoyed walking to restaurants and shops in town, and also on the trails around the house and hotel property.  The house had a nice deck with views of the sunrise, and the inside was spacious and comfortable.  Breakfast at the hotel was buffet style, local, and satisfying.

This place was perfect for our family trip! The kids loved the garden and even saw toucans, a sloth, many interesting bugs and lizards in it!  It was very convenient to have a bathroom for each room. The common space was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked.  The location is gorgeous and easy to walk to town from.  All the hotel staff were very kind and helpful!  The $6 breakfast was yummy and substantial and the laundry service was great to have too (although there is also a basin for handwashing clothes). I would definitely visit again.

Such a cozy cabin style home. it felt very authentic to Costa Rica. We loved all the wood and rustic features. The grounds were beautiful and staff was super friendly. We wish we could have stayed longer than one night.

Perfectly nice place, walkable to Santa Elena and an easy drive to Monteverde.

Fantastic location, walkable to Santa Elena downtown and many restaurants. Try the Jungle just down the street :) This place is part of Hotel Claro de Luna and the front desk staff were super helpful checking in and reserving us a shuttle ride to/from the Cloud Forest Reserve. Best $8/person we spent in Monteverde! When we ran out of gas in the kitchen during breakfast, staff had us cooking again in 20 min or less. Homey place with lots of character and space.

The Casa was a perfect place for our family of 7. We opened the door to the porch to be able to see the clouds of the cloud forest roll in, and it was breath-taking. The beds were a bit stiff, but outside of that, the house was better stocked than many other homes we've rented on AirBnB. The home is also perfectly located. Santa Elena's main drag is walkable, but the home is in a peaceful place. The nicest part of our stay was the check-in and breakfast. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating.

Beautiful home on gorgeous property! Conveniently located near Santa Elena and different areas for exploring. We loved it!

Beautiful surroundings and spacious home. We had more than enough room for our group of 8.

The grounds are breathtaking with lots of birds and a sloth staying in one of the trees!  I stayed with my husband and 5 adult children.  The manager was kind and provided us with fans when we asked and seemed to be genuinely happy to help.  She booked us tours and talked to us about local places to go. We could walk to town easily.  They have an inexpensive breakfast, but honestly it wasn't very good and I usually like the typical Costa Rican breakfast.  The house had many room many with their own bathrooms and maybe these rooms are usually rented out separately?  The only downside is that it was dingy the lighting was poor and we saw pretty big "beetles" that looked like roaches in the bathroom and other places. The rug had stains and dirt the floors were dirty and the whole place just felt a bit dirty which made me feel a bit ill at ease. I still give it 5 stars overall because of the manager, location and ground as well as price were all amazing.

Ericka's place is huge! We had a group of 6, 3 couples and we all had plenty of room. The location is great for walking to town and other places nearby. The surrounding area is full of beautiful plants and trees. We saw several sloths in the trees and the team helped point them out. We did not purchase the breakfast as it stopped at 9:00 but it smelled amazing! The home is basic and a bit on the dated side but it was clean and functional.  No air conditioning which was an initial concern due to th e heat but fans were provided and it was not a problem at all. Big front porch with a hammock and table for relaxing and drinking coffee or wine while viewing the beautiful garden area. The place has 3-4 rooms underneath but we did not hear anyone at all, even though booked as well. Must try Taco Taco, the food is wonderful.

it was a good stay, we enjoyed it but just spent one night. Communication Was easy and we enjoyed breakfast.

Perfect group spot. Ericka and Jocelyn were spectacular hosts. From checking in, recommended tours of Monteverde, recommendations to local restaurants, tours reservations for all group. Walked on the patio to watch sloths spotted with all group. Excellent rooms. Everything you need…. Will recommend to friends and coworkers. Thanks Jocelyn for the extra mile, also Ericka and the friendly staff. Pura Vida

Our family of seven had a great time.  Lots of space for everyone.  The resident sloth 🦥 in the garden was super fun for the kids to see.

wonderful experience in Costa Rica.  we enjoyed seeing the Sluth in the parking lot trees.

We had a great stay. Lots of space for the kids and adults. Very clean.

This was an amazing place. We had 11 people and we made dinner with ease. Had all pot sizes we needed

beautiful property and strongly recommended for families. there are multiple rooms, so a lot of space for everyone. just to set the expectations right, little dated, wooden cabin, squeaks a lot. But I don’t think that is big deal and should not prevent you from booking it. grounds are beauuuuuuutiful. people who manage are very sweet. we saw so much wild life right on the property which made the experience absolutely priceless! birds just about everywhere, we saw 2 sloths right on the property. there were almost their pets/ residents, hanging out! early am, you wake up to beautiful fresh air and birds singing. a short walk and they have a breakfast place. $6 you get fruits, pancakes, plantain and gallo pinto and juice and coffee, great for the price. a very short walk to downtown, and multiple restaurants. I left the car in the parking lot and just walked daily, great coffee shops and restaurants to choose from. right across from the bnb, there is a small grocery store. overall gr8

The accommodation and treatment were excellent. Extra point the breakfast that was very rich.

El alojamiento y el trato han sido excelentes. Punto extra el desayuno que estaba muy rico.

Great house close to downtown and restaurants. The breakfast was wonderful and the gardens were very nice to wander through.

Ericka is an awesome host. She was communicative and helpful. We were very happy to stay there and had a great time in Monte Verde because of our stay. The whole house was booked by our group of 4 families and it was a great setup. The optional breakfast is great too.

We had a great and cosy stay. From arrival to departure, everything went smooth. The house is part of a hotel area, and is well located close to the center town of Monteverde. Plenty of space, cozy furniture in super condition, and a well equiped kitchen. We had a great stay and would definitely come back.

I booked this for my family trip to visit the area of Monteverde. It was a great spot for our needs. The proximity to town was excellent so we were able to walk around, rather than try and find parking in the congested core. When we checked in the girl at the front desk was incredibly helpful, and helped booked the night hike, and Selvatura park the next day. Breakfast was delicious, and very reasonable. overall very happy with our stay.

The property is very tidy and clean, very close to the center, a quiet place with an excellent view of a mountain.

El inmueble muy ordenado y limpio, muy cerca del centro, lugar tranquilo y con excelente vista a una montaña.

We enjoyed staying at Ericka’s. The house was big but felt cozy. It’s a typical older Costa Rican house so it has a rustic element to it that we enjoyed and it gave it a lot of character. We’ve already talked about coming back w friends. Definitely recommend the breakfast.

great location and size and lots of charm. walls are paper thin upstairs and several lights inside did not work.

great place, close to main area staff extremely friendly

This is the ideal house for a group of adults who value each room having a private full bathroom. You also get the benefits of being at a hotel (breakfast, tours, front desk), with the space and facilities of a home (full kitchen, living room, etc). There is a nice soda / cafe directly across the street, and the main downtown is very walkable (though there are significant hills).

Easy walk to supermarket and restaurants. Lovely with interesting furnishings. very uniquely Costa Rican. Erika arranged 2 tours for us, and everything went well, without a single hitch. Staff at the hotel reception area, which also serves the Airbnb, are very knowledgeable, helpful and spoke great English. some bedrooms are small; we were glad we had only backpacks. upstairs loft was fun for the teen kids.  Lots of bathrooms! Breakfast in the hotel (which shares property with the Airbnb) was very nice, and inexpensive. Highly recommended.

Warm hosts and great house that’s walkable to Santa Elena center but just far enough from the hubbub to be a relaxing respite. The gardens are nice for morning bird watching. The house is on the same property as the hotel by the same name. The front desk staff are great at helping suggest ideas and will make reservations for you. Beds are decent, kitchen well equipped for the simple cooking that we did. The living room didn’t quite have enough spots to sit for all 8 of us, but that was okay because we were mostly out and about.

Very friendly and super  clean. But a bit cold at nights.

This was our second time staying here. Erica made sure our group felt at home. Great location, cozy, spacious, comfortable and clean. Our favourite place to stay when in Monteverde.

Hotel house with 5 bed rooms each with bathroom. Reception area with customer service and breakfast onsite plus.  Mountain view from gallery plus. Kitchen with all necessary items. No air conditioner but fan in room.  Laundry with additional charge. Waking distance to restaurant, shopping, night life. Overall great stay with best value for large group.

Very nice house, the furniture theme was very complete and very spacious and very spacious!

Muy bonita la casa, muy completo el tema de muebles y muy espacioso!

We had 3 nights in this lovely house. There's plenty of space and great decor. The house is in perfect walking distance from St. Elena and you have good food, shopping, etc. close by. Ericka was very helpful throughout the stay and also arranged airport transfers for us. Great stay as highly recommended.

Vi havde 3 nætter i dette skønne hus. Der er masser af plads og god indretning. Huset ligger i perfekt gå-afstand fra St. Elena og man har god mad, indkøb mv tæt på. Ericka var meget hjælpsom under hele opholdet og arrangerede ligeledes lufthavnstransport for os. Super ophold som sagtens kan anbefales.

The place is beautiful, with beautiful gardens, the house has a lot of personality and is very comfortable, breakfasts were spectacular every day, the staff is super friendly.

El lugar es hermoso, con hermosos jardines, la casa tiene mucha personalidad y es muy cómoda, los desayunos fueron espectaculares todos los días, el personal es súper amable.

We liked everything and we wanted to come back, the truth is very happy with the place in the area and everything

Nos gustó todo y deseamos volver, la verdad muy contentos con el lugar la zona y todo

impeccable place and very good service...
