Rita & Sonny Tropical 'Surf' Cabina

10/10 Excellent

"A very affordable option that is really genuine! Rita and Sonny were awesome hosts in every way! And, you are right on the beach. A nice place for snorkeling as well."

CASA AZUL Beautiful beach house w/private pool 200 yards from the beach

10/10 Excellent

"we loved our little casa in Costa Rica. the property was great..had everything we needed but the host was the true star. VERY helpful and would almost immediately reply when we texted with any questions. the most beautiful sunsets are right across the street (er, dirt road) from you..we had the beach almost to ourselves every time we went. loved the property!"

Tropical oceanfront condo in Junquillal, WIFI, washer/dryer, AC, large kitchen.

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful property, right on the beach. It felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. The pool was beautiful and warm and we enjoyed making dinner at home and eating outside on the back deck each night. The property was a bit of a drive from shops and the big, modern grocery stores in Tamarindo, but with a car it is easy to get around. We had a lovely, relaxing time here!"

Beach Front Home with pool and breathtaking Ocean views!!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our third time staying at this property and we are planning for more. Great location love the beach. For an added bonus, they fixed the road yes, the host has a little control over that but it was awesome to have the road repaired."

Casa Juliana: Beautifully renovated Villa in Jan '25 with pool steps from beach

10/10 Excellent

"The place was perfect for our 3 families and grandparents, for a total of 16. Each of the 4 couples had their own room with thr grandkids in the two other rooms.The pool was perfect for cooling down after the intense afternoon heat.The beach, where they release turtles, is only steps away. There are also a couple of restaurants right on the beach.You can hear the howler monkeys from the casa and go for a walk and see them!The city of Junquillal did have an issue with their water pump, however, other than reducing laundry loads, it didnt affect us.A couple of days there were multiple power outages that lasted seconds to minutes. One morning had an outage for about 2 hours."

Azul Hotel & Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We stay here often, very peaceful and love the gym and pool."

Rita & Sonny Beach Apt# 2

8/10 Good

"Awesome location - literally steps from the water, you can see the tide come in from the balcony and hear the ocean from your room (& smell the sea air too). Well equipped little cabin room with functional kitchen and fridge. Had some power and water outages the first couple days, and the room gets a bit hot in the afternoons - sort of like a camping/cabin experience but right on the water with some jungle behind you. Host very friendly responsive, tap water is clean for drinking, and area is very safe. Bring water shoes/reef booties. Easiest town is Playa Negra 15min up the beach for a few shops."

10/10 Excellent

"This place was the closest thing to paradise that my family has ever been to. Every amenity was there, the instructions were very clear, and the location was better than we could have imagined."
