Holiday houses in Ballena

This was such a great place to stay, the view is AMAZING. It is a little of a trek to get to the property, but really not that bad as the road is well maintained. You will need a 4 x 4 but in all honestly if you are worried about the road, don't be. The house is nice and open, and the deck has great views for eating meals. The plunge pool was a nice treat as well. Jeff is a great host, and very friendly. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants to be above the clouds and have a spectacular view, while enjoying the sounds of the birds. Thanks, we will be back!

This was by far our favorite Airbnb stay while we were visiting Costa Rica. The view alone makes it worth it! Private, quiet, comfortable, and the pool is so nice to have. The driveway was a little intimidating the first time we came up, but it’s not a big deal once you know where you are going. I would absolutely stay here again.

We absolutely loved staying at Johnny's place! After the first quiet, comfortable night as we lingered over coffee on the patio watching the hummingbirds, we decided to change our plans and stay a little longer. The house is beautiful and has everything you could need provided. We especially loved all the outdoor space and spending evenings watching birds with drinks on the rooftop (we saw Yellow Throated Toucans and Montezuma Oropendola right from the deck!). The beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. 15/10 we'll be back!

My husband and I and our 4 kids LOVED this house. We spent a week there and it was perfect for us. The beach was amazing - great for swimming and playing at high tide and great for walking at low tide. The house had chairs and boogie boards we enjoyed. The pool was awesome. The views of the pool and beach from the deck great. We really appreciated the AC and the ice maker when it was hot outside. House was clean and comfortable. Really cannot say enough how much we loved this location and house.

Comfortable and great location for accessing the beach.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay. The home is perfect and laid out so nice for a large group. Each room has a separate bathroom and private entrance. The home sits within an easy walk to the beach. We loved the private pool and playing on what felt like a private beach on most days. Flory was very helpful in checking in and arranging all of our fun.

We recently stayed at Villa Azul at the end of December for 4 nights. The location was great and close to town, yet very quite and peaceful. The access to the private beach was wonderful and a luxury for sure! it was a 5 min walk from our room! the views from the villa was amazing. We saw capuchin monkeys from our deck and scarlet macaws from the pool snacking on almonds. Amazing! This is completely on me as I did not see the floor plan closely enough in the listing, but I didn't realize that the two bedrooms don't have an interior connection. This was slightly inconvenient for us travelling with young children, but we made it work! just a heads up in case it helps anyone. Also, the interior could use some minor maintenance but nothing that prevented us from having an enjoyable stay! Pablo, the groundskeeper, and the cleaning lady were nice, and we appreciated the laundry service. Thanks to David and his team for making our stay memorable!

We enjoyed our stay here, despite the power outage. We were happy about the air conditioning in the bedroom We would stay with Kattia and Daryl again.

My wife and I loved this place. The privacy and wildlife were exactly what we wanted out of our vacation. Tucans daily, parrots and lots of other birds. We felt very comfortable with our host Adrian and he was always very respectful of our privacy and communicated if there was any need to come by the house and what time he would be there. The road wasn't as bad as what I was expecting and in fact they were even upgrading it while we were staying there. Was completed just before we left. We already wish we were back there and will be booking again.
