"Amazing house, great location in Carmen/Santa Teresa beach. Couldn’t imagine staying elsewhere."

"Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 young children. It is an easy walk to the beach from the property. I would recommend renting a golf cart or car to get to town and neighboring Carrillo beach. The pool and outdoor space were very nice. The house is stocked with plenty of supplies for cooking. Cleaning staff came twice during our stay and did a great job. Great stay overall."

"My family and I truly enjoyed this house. It is a bit of a trek up into the woods but so worth it. The house is very clean and fairly well appointed. It was very easy to communicate with the manager with regards to getting in and settled as well as recommendations in the area. We were visited almost daily by a troop of monkeys which was incredible. We highly recommend this house and the town of Samara"

"Great location, walkable to everything, friendly host, private and safe. Great pool"

"natural Costa Rica experience. Very relaxing place!"

"First time is Santa Teresa. Heard mixed reviews. But, found the town and surrounding area to be fantastic for a short get away. Loft had everything necessary for enjoyable stay. And, the location was a short distance from excellent restaraunts and places to enjoy a cocktail."

"Very accommodating. Lovely view."

"Not only was the house perfect in all respects, but our chats with Josue were the highlights of our visit. If everyone in the world respected and treated their fellow countrymen the way Josue and his family treats theirs, the world would be a very much better place to live in."

"Great communication with Gustavo during our stay."

"This is an incredible property for so many reasons! Firstly, the home looks brand new and beautifully furnished and decorated with many thoughtful touches- loved the spa tub in a garden setting with an ocean view. We were 4 people and all enjoyed our own private space as well as common areas . The pool deck was beautiful and the daily cleaning was a nice touch. The location can’t be beat- easily walkable to the beach, eat street and we even walked throughout the town from here. The gated...

"We visited Santa Teresa from Seattle. I was looking for a private home. We had an incredible visit. This home was amazing: modern, new, clean, pristine location, private pool, beautiful. Wake up to the sounds of exotic birds and howler monkeys. I highly recommend renting at Yoko. You and your family will love your stay."

"We loved the apartment and having two pools was great. The beach was a very short walk across the road and down a trail and there are restaurants on the doorstep. Santa Teresa is the perfect surf and yoga town, has a good healthy lifestyle feel about it and feels safe. We loved being able to walk back and forth to the beach so if one person had enough of the beach they didn't have to wait for the whole family. Lucia was very helpful and responsive when we had questions. We will definitely come...

"The home was PERFECT and all things listed online about the house from Wendy (owner) and all reviews were 100% correct! The home is gorgeous and we felt comfortable and pampered from the point we arrived from Ana and Freddy! The communication with Wendy is quick and helpful - she was always available with any questions or changes! The food was amazing and Ana even cooked a yellowtail that we caught that day! All reviews say Ana will help with excursions upon arrival (which made us - typical over...

"Our family's first time to Costa Rica. We loved this home and the location. Beach is short drive away if you want to swim. Can not say enough wonderful things about the caretaker- Sonja. Excellent cook and lovely person."

"A beautiful jungle setting, back from the road, fantastic property with privacy and a pool. The house was well furnished and we lacked for nothing while we were there. Bring groceries (and some fresh fish from town) and grill a lovely dinner on the deck. During the day, the place feels like a bird sanctuary and we enjoyed watching a Toucan go in and out of a rounded hole in the large tree behind the house to feed its chicks. We felt comfortable and at home during our stay. Internet was slow at...

"We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful villa, clean and comfortable. Bit of a drive from town so you will require transportation. Easy communication with the host."

"Our host Jason went out of his way to ensure we had a good stay at his place. We had support in getting to use a local pool, with groceries and transportation to our next location to mention a few. If you need local insights and super hospitality then go with Jason. The location is in a quiet local neighbourhood and it feels safe to have kids running around outside. Walking to the beach is possible, but can be a bit hard for little ones up to 4 years old (especially considering the heat). Go to...

"A great location Many good restaurants within walking distance. Close to Carrillo Beach which is one of our favorites. Have an icy snow cone type drink made by Carmen. The pool isn’t huge but it was perfect for us and so refreshing after a day in the hot sun. Air conditioning in the bedrooms for a good night sleep. Washer and dryer with a clothesline.. a simple pleasure.We have always felt save staying here. Laun"

"I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful our stay was here. This house is GORGEOUS — the pool, the high ceilings, the huge windows, it was all so lovely. We had a group of 11 people and we all fit very comfortably. The house is a short 10-minute walk to Playa Carrillo, which we loved more than the beach in Sámara: it’s a long, peaceful stretch of sand with gentle waves and lots of palm trees for shade. There are a handful of restaurants and little grocery stores within walking distance of...

"This home is wonderful, with lots of room to spread out and beautiful outdoor spaces that look out onto a forested valley. Veranda is perfect for spying on birds, monkeys, and iguanas through binoculars. The location worked well. The 10-minute walk to the beach allowed adults to head over individually before the rest drove over with chairs/umbrella/cooler. Easy walk to a few restaurants. We had a good dinner at El Colibri, but Soda la Plaza was our favorite (my best meal in Costa Rica!). The...

"This was our second time staying at MaryArte. The house is located right on Playa San Miguel, which is a beautiful natural beach (we even saw a sea turtle this time). The house is spacious and clean. Lots of shade and places to relax including the pool area. We love the outdoor kitchen which is well equipped. The host is welcoming and easy to reach. Thank you again for a lovely stay, we can't wait for next year!"

"Incredible home and fantastic experience. This place is perfect for those looking for a slow paced, less developed, not trendy, sparsely populated, less wired/connected setting. The spectacular beach is an integral part of the covered outdoor living space. The living space super comfortable with everything you need to prepare meals, relax, and hang out and works for just 2 people but we could easily see 3 families hanging out comfortably. The internet connection is good enough but there's no...

"We arrived to Totobe after an hour of driving on really bad roads, and no preparation for that. I contacted the owner the day before to see about arrival and directions, and only heard back once via VRBO’s message service. I requested to be contacted directly in case of issues finding the place or getting lost (which happened several times on our way there) and never got a response. I have also contacted him since all the issues and still have no response. Will send a screenshot of the...
