2BR villa in Montezuma

Montezuma Beach House on the Beach - Bungalows for Rent in Montezuma, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Amazing location and Lilly took amazing care of us, hope to come back soon!

Thank you Karen for a wonderful stay! Our two nights in the beach villa was not long enough and we are already talking about returning.  The beachfront home is a gem, right across a small dirt path from a beautiful beach and a 8-10 minute walk to town.  We enjoyed the pool, relaxing on the patio, the beach, exploring the cute town of Montezuma.  Our beds were comfortable, the kitchen had the listed amenities, and Karen m the host, was fantastic and always quick to respond and helpful.  She even helped us figure out how to get our ferry tickets   A truly amazing host!

Thank you for your nice words. We look forward to your next trip here in our little piece of paradise!

I can’t do this listing justice with just pen to paper, which is a shame! There’s something rugged and wild while simultaneously serene and cozy about this home and its surroundings. You can spend mornings watching the sunrise on the, for all intents and purposes, private beach while drinking fresh coffee bc the beach is just steps away from your porch. Wash off your feet in the outdoor pelican shower and say hi to all your new wildlife friends (agnoti’s, a cat!!!, monkeys, coati’s, squirrels, lizards, birds!) while you take a dip in the pool. After a nap in the hammock you can walk down the beach into town or over to Ylang Ylang for the best shrimp you’ve ever had, two more property cats (Minnie and Mancha) and a lovely soul named Patricia who will give you a great big bear hug after your meal. Sore muscles?? Not at Karen’s. Just call Daniella and schedule all your massage and spa needs; she comes to you at the properties white gauze draped gazebo!! Will absolutely be back!

Thank you Mary.  We love guests like you! You guys were a total delight.  It is so nice to hear your appreciation of our little gem.

Stunning place, beautiful pool, comfy beds, excellent and helpful communication, no better location in Montezuma

Fantastic host! Communication was great and helpful. Great location! On the beach, private and tranquil setting. We love the pool and the grounds. It’s right on the trial to Playa Granda for surfing.  You cant go wrong staying here. Kicking back In a hammock with a cold beverage and listening to the ocean is the perfect ending to a day of playing at the beach.

Love,  love,  love this beautiful piece of paradise in Costa Rica!  Karen's place is wonderful,  and the team members who welcome you and make sure you are comfortable are amazing!  We had everything and more than what we needed here, with great welcome!   Montezuma is an amazing place as well,  so good for your soul.

Thank you Rhonda ...and you and your guests were a pleasure to have at our little piece of paradise. See you next year!!

This home is such an amazing place to stay. Wonderful location, steps from the surf, amazing windows, so much natural light, amazing views from inside and the covered porch, comfortable furniture, beds.  Truly one of the most memorable places. Cleaning staff and Karen are super attentive , responsive and nice.  Thx you.

We cannot say enough about this magical slice of heaven. The perfect setting for a couple, a family or single traveler looking to get off the beaten path a stones throw from the beach. Karen has always been super helpful when accommodating our needs. We hit the organic farmers market in town, caught the fish truck and bought some fresh caught Dorado and Camarones and grilled out on the patio while drinking a cold beer and listening to the waves crash on the beach. AC was cold, shower was hot, pool was clean and ground were absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend staying at Karen’s. A++ as usual. Thank you Karen!!!

Karen was extremely thorough and had staff on the premises  ready to help us if we needed anything. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and the location was exactly what we were looking for. The house is a located on a secluded Montezuma beach front. You can hear the waves crashing while you relax on their many hammocks and balconies. Clean, comfortable, great beaches, awesome food in a small quaint little beach town. Highly recommend.

Incredibly charming place, with lovely location and rich wildlife. Neat and clean. Cute and helpful staff who tried to help even though we don't speak Spanish. Only downside is that there was no Air conditioning in the top room, it was too hot to sleep it even though all the blows were running.

Utroligt charmerende sted, med dejlig beliggenhed og rigt dyreliv. Pænt og rent. Søde og hjælpsomme medarbejdere, som prøvede at hjælpe, selvom vi ikke taler spansk. Eneste minus er at der ikke var Air condition på det øverste værelse, det var for varmt at sove det, selvom alle blæser var igang.

Karen’s place is special. We had an amazing time there. You can hear the waves from every room in the house! The property is beautiful, close to town, and the pool and overall atmosphere is amazing! Karen and her staff were super helpful and very friendly. I’d go back again in a heartbeat! And hope to do so soon. Absolute perfection.

We want to go back, I think that says it all.  proximity to the beach, restaurants and shopping facilities all within walking distance made for a very relaxing vacation. falling asleep to the sound of ocean waves gave me a deep sleep til morning, when i sipped tea on the beach watching the sun rise. a brilliant conversation with a local blue Magpie sitting at my shoulder set the path for the day.  Thank you to Pablo for his daily hugs and checking in on us.

The location is amazing. It is right across from the beach, a sea turtle hatchery, and a 5 min walk into town. Karen is a great host with excellent communication and provided us with amazing recommendations for food options, activities, and shuttle services.

We were 5 people staying in the Montezuma beach house. We had a great stay, and the house with ocean view was amazing to wake up in.

Great spot right on a lovely stretch of beach within walkable distance from town. Lovely set up at the place, pool etc and v well served by staff. Was a highlight of our trip to CR. House was lovely, nice decor etc…no ac in upstairs room so can get hot up there but Fans are provided, so while not ideal, it’s bearable.

Great location with relaxing views and sounds of the ocean. Loved the pool and easy walk to town. Watching the rain and storms from the covered patio was very nice. This house is a bit rustic, but that was a part of the charm.

The location is perfect, the house is nice, simple and cozy. With good attention and cleanliness and the necessary utensils for cooking, however it only has air conditioning in the master bedroom, the rest of the house is really hot. The property is very beautiful.

La ubicación es perfecta, la casa es linda, sencilla y acojedora. Con una buena atención y limpieza y los implementos necesarios para cocinar, sin embargo solo cuenta con aire acondicionado en el dormitorio principal, el resto de la casa es realmente caliente. La propiedad es muy bella.

Magic, exotic, romantic - those will be the attributes that will always come to my mi d when thinking of this place. It’s a hidden gem, secluded yet close to Montezuma with its Restaurants, Bars and shops. Beautiful beach right in front of the doorstep and other great options in walking distance such as Playa Grande. It’s an old school no BS beach house with everything you will ever need.

This place is the best! Right on the beach with an amazing pool! Cant ask for a better place in Montezuma!

We enjoyed this idyllic location with its wildlife, pool, proximity to the beach, and town. Thank you for making us feel at home. For families traveling with young children, the house we stayed in worked well for us. We enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces. Just be aware that the beds are high to very high off the floor. And while the second floor (loft) has a gate at the top of the stairs, they are quite steep.

This place is fantastic, perfect in every way. Such a comfortable space nestled between the pristine property with pool and other amenities and the beautiful beach, with pleasant wildlife appearances as well. The caretakers,  along with everyone Karen recommended were so nice and went above and beyond for us. Karen was very helpful with our trip planning and provided great tips for the area and travel to Montezuma in general. We cannot wait to get back there some day and will be dreaming about our stay in this slice of paradise in the meantime. Thank you!!

Amazing place, stunning… everything was perfect. Nothing to say.

Great location right next to the beach, in my opinion it is the location you are paying for. We’ve been travelling in CR for a month and have stayed at 5 places up until here and this felt the most rustic and rough around the edges, not bad just different. It is an older property that has been fairly maintained. The house itself is an older cabin with a lot of charm and some challenges. The cookware is basic, at best, but we were able to make out just fine for a few days. It has magical features like being across from the turtle hatchery (we witnessed two turtle releases while there) and an absolute abundance of wildlife (monkeys, Aguti, Pizote). Right on the edge of the jungle. Beautiful beach and trail walks on both sides of the property. Great, safe location at the end of town. Lovely sound of waves crashing. The linens and towels were of good quality, comfortable and clean. Treat yourself to a yoga class at Ylang Ylang a few minute walk away, their studio is stunning - we didn’t try the food but have heard it’s very good also. The caretakers are lovely, warm and kind. We did have to contact Karen at one point as we couldn’t get through the language barrier for a few small issues and she was responsive and helpful.

This is truly a charming place in a gorgeous setting!

thank you for being such a wonderful guest Molly.

Amazing property! You cannot beat the location and it was great to share the space with other families. Highly recommend a visit!

Karen’s property is beautiful. We showed up in Montezuma without a place to stay and she immediately got us a home for the few days we were there!! Her staff was very kind also!!

The beautiful Beach House is located directly at the Beach! We really enjoyed our stay at this amazing and tranquil place. The host’s were very friendly and helpful. We hope to come back again..

The grounds to this place were incredible! Hearing the waves crashing right in my ear as I slept upstairs was sooo relaxing. The beach is literally right there! If you’re traveling with anyone that has a hard time walking, it is a narrow uneven and quite lengthy walkway to get to the actual house. Other than that, it’s gorgeous!

Karens Beach House is amazing. The location and grounds are beyond what we expected. The beach house offers all the modern amenities and is steps away from the ocean. Karen was super responsive during our stay and her local team was always available to help us out. Highly recommended if you are in Montezuma.

Thank you Jorge...you were wonderful guests. looking forward to your return. Karen

Great location, a lot of the beautiful nature and animals (crazy monkeys, take care of their things), beautiful beach with strong waves if you like surfing but be careful with children. Nice house, comfortable, main room with A/C. Karen answered my questions very kind and fast. The caretaker, Oldemar, is so kind and helpful. The shared pool is a bit small as the houses accommodate quite a few people, and the house needs a bit of maintenance on a few things, plus a direct access (gate) from the house to the beach would be great to keep an eye on children from the beautiful terrace. Other than that it was a great experience.

Gran ubicación, mucho de la hermosa naturaleza y animales (monos locos, cuiden sus cosas), hermosa playa de fuertes olas si te gusta surfear pero cuidado con los niños. Linda casa, cómoda, cuarto principal con A/C. Karen me aclaró mis dudas muy amable y rápido. El cuidador, Oldemar, muy amable y servicial. La piscina compartida es un poco pequeña ya que las casas alojan bastantes personas, y la casa necesita un poco de mantenimiento en algunas cosas, además sería genial un acceso directo (portón) de la casa a la playa para vigilar niños desde la hermosa terraza. Fuera de eso, fue una gran experiencia.

Karen’s Beach house is a true Gem . Excellent location with the beach and the nice relaxing pool . Beautiful nature all around . Perfect place to unwind and relax. Very close to the little town of Montezuma. A little confusing to find exact location just because there was no sign however if you just ask for Karen’s Beach house all the locals can direct you. The house was sparkling clean , comfortable and plenty extra socializing space if you have a big group. The house was very well equipped with everything needed to cook own meals . Nice outdoor grill . Pool area very comfortable. Easy beech access.

This house in an absolute gem, tucked into a private oasis but directly on the beach. Karen, the owner, is lovely and knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The caretakers Odemar and Gita are very attentive and happy to help in any way, but are never intrusive. The setting can't be beat. The beach is steps from your front door, the grounds are exquisite and perfectly maintained, the pool is sparkling clean. It's a short stroll into charming Montezuma and its fun little shops and great restaurants. We have been here for a week, two families (in two houses) and 5 kids, and have had the best vacation of our lives. I can't say enough good things. No one wants to leave!! Thank you Karen!!

I felt like I was in Paradise here. Anyone who stays here will be more than pleased I am sure. The beach is beautiful and just steps away from the house. The pool is wonderful. This was a difficult place to say goodbye to.

I am so glad you had a great time.  You were great guests because you demonstrated that you were really enjoying the area.  thanks for being here!!!!

Montezuma Beach House was absolutely wonderful. Better than the pictures! We were in town for a family wedding at the Ylang Ylang Beach Resort which was a few hundred meters walk to the north. The rest of our family all stayed at Ylang Ylang, but I actually liked this set-up better because the pool is right outside of our door and it's nice to have a kitchen. The house itself is great - nice and clean with a kitchen that has everything you need. The main bedroom's AC works great and was big enough to fit our pack-n-play crib for our baby. The kids loved sleeping in this room. The upstairs loft is super cool - it's airy and you can go to sleep to the sound of the ocean. It also cooled down enough at night so you can sleep comfortably (we were there in February), and Karen also provides tons of fans. There are 2 beds upstairs so you can sleep 4 up there. Hot water in both bathrooms worked great as well. The grounds are beautiful and really well maintained - a nice lawn to play frisbee on; a lovely pool and comfy lounge chairs. Monkeys and iguanas are all around, which was fun. The caretaker, Oldemar, and housekeeper, Gitza, are super nice. My daughter got sick on the trip and Oldemar took us into the next town to visit a doctor and pharmacy and he stuck around and waited for us to bring us back. This was definitely above and beyond what he needed to do. Karen is incredibly welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Overall, absolutely wonderful and great for families. There was one bad review on AirBnB that I saw before that made me worried, but after having stayed here, I don't agree with anything that that person wrote (e.g. the towels and linens were all very nice and new and clean; the showers were quite nice, yes, the stairs to the loft are steep, but nothing too dangerous even for my 2 and 3.5 year old kids).

This place is fantastic. Just steps from the beach, and a very short walk to the town.  The pool area is the perfect bonus to this home.  Our host was very helpful and inviting.  Would definitely stay here again!

We just loved it! Beautiful house, nice design, very comfortable beds, big kitchen with everything you need. We would love to stay longer!!!

Karen’s house is lovely, nestled in the jungle right in front of the pristine beach in Montezuma. We did not want to leave! Thanks for sharing your lovely beach house with us, Karen!

Beautiful Beach House. Was a magical place to celebrate my sons birthday. Right on the beach, gorgeous house, wonderful beach, cool town,  amazing view, monkeys, turtles. Would highly recommend. 

So happy that you were happy! Thank you for being such great guests. Come back soon!

Karen and George's house is very well placed, on the seafront, close to the turtle conservation center. It is very well equipped and functional. There is a beautiful infinity pool, with a pool suitable for the little ones We were fortunate enough to be able to see iguanas, birds and even monkeys in the garden. The caretaker couple is so thoughtful. Communication with Karen was perfect. We highly recommend this very nice rental for a family! Thank you again for a wonderful stay.

La maison de Karen et George est très bien placée, en front de mer, proche du centre de conservation des tortues. Elle est très bien équipée et fonctionnelle. Il y a une très belle piscine à débordement, avec un bassin adapté pour les plus petits. Nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir voir dans le jardin des iguanes, oiseaux et même des singes. Le couple de gardien est très attentionné. La communication avec Karen a été parfaite. Nous recommandons vivement cette location très agréable pour une famille ! Merci encore pour ce magnifique séjour.

The beach house was amazing- it was so cozy and comfortable inside and out. The ceiling fan on the patio kept it cool and mosquito free for watching the waves from the table or the hammock. The pool was clean and just the right size and the property was tropical perfection. We saw more wildlife there than any place we have rented in CR- Cabo Blancos, coatis, herons and even an anteater!

So glad you liked it.  Hope you will come back again.

This place is truly amazing! I am not sure we would have enjoyed Montezuma as much if we didn't stay here. The gardens and close proximity to the beach were wonderful. It's secluded yet very close to everything. Highly recommend!

A beautiful home to stay. Very friendly building management. Located directly on the beach in the immediate vicinity of the turtle breeding station. Beautiful beaches where you can watch capuchin monkeys. House is well maintained and super clean. Gitza & Oldemar were very kind and helpful.

Ein wunderschönes Haus zum verweilen. Sehr freundliche Hausverwaltung. Direkt am Strand gelegen in unmittelbarer Nähe der Schildkrötenaufzuchtstation. Wunderschöne Strände an denen man Kapuzineraffen beobachten kann. Haus ist sehr gepflegt und supersauber. Gitza & Oldemar waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Karen's house is about 5 min from town and a 1 min walk from the beach! The house is surrounded by tons of wildlife, monkeys, iguanas, birds, crabs which my kids enjoyed! However, it's a really old house that needs a major facelift. First, it's unsafe for small children. There is a loft upstairs with two beds both on platforms about 4feet off the ground, which my daughter fell off of. The stairs leading to the loft are very steep and narrow, making it difficult to walk down. The top floor is surround by screens which had holes in them and filled with dust. The screens don't really protect you from the outside elements and it's very loud to sleep especially when it rains. The bed in the master is small, maybe a double. The A.C in the master barely worked. Both showers and shower curtains were very dirty filled with mold. Most of the towels the grounds crew provided were stained and had holes. There is a small couch in the 'living room' which was stained and falling apart. The grounds crew were nice and helpful. Overall if you are Looking to stay in a house that is similar to tent/ trailer camping then this is for you. If you want a more modern home with proper AC, comfortable beds, clean more luxury amenities, then pass!

This is my first rebuttal of a review, but I was so surprised that we would get such a negative review that I had to immediately investigate these complaints. Because I am away from Costa Rica right now, I immediately called a friend that had stayed in the same house just before Larysa and family arrived. This is her response:  "The place was OK! I didn´t used the AC cuz stayed at 2nd floor. Towels were nice and clean and screens where as far as I remember in good shape. Weird!”  The caretakers, who really liked the family thought they were very happy. I (as always) welcomed them with an email that said “let the caretakers or us know if you need anything”. The caretakers (experienced and with us for 14 years) helped them out with extra fans but did not get any other feed back during their stay.   The upstairs bedroom is usually a favorite because one can hear the waves on the beach and the sound of rain. People come to Costa Rica to experience these natural sounds and sights…not to be closed in like a city hotel. The tropics and nature is what one comes to Costa Rica for.   Many children have stayed on the second floor for the last 27 years. There is a safety child gate at the top of the stairs for toddlers but these kids were not toddlers.  As one can see from our previous reviews, most people embrace the differences that Costa Rica offers, but I do understand that Costa Rica is not for everyone,
