Family-friendly holiday rentals in Carmen Beach

This place was a gem! Location could not be better—right up the hill from tons of great restaurants, shops, and the beach. Easy to access with an ATV. Our taxi driver was not able to take us to the very top of the hill where the house is, so keep this in mind when booking your transportation to the house. We had an amazing stay, and the hosts were able to answer any questions we had promptly. The house has a gorgeous view of the ocean and sunset, the bed were comfortable, and the air conditioning worked great in each bedroom. We would absolutely come back and recommend this place to anyone staying in Santa Teresa!

Condominium is pretty good size. The swimming pools are great.

Norman is the best host. Very communicative with excellent recommendations for our stay. His place is gorgeous and we would happily stay there again if Costa Rica weren't so far away. Loved our vacation, thank you!

This was a great place where we felt so lucky to have landed! The Villas are off the beaten path but still so close to everything in Samara town. We were thankful to be able to walk to and from the beach without having to spend much time on the busy town roads. The property is wonderfully maintained with beautiful landscaping. Our rental was furthest from the road and wonderfully private and quiet. We were delighted to be treated to so much space both inside and out. It included a large private covered patio with comfy furniture and a large dining table. Inside, the beds were all comfortable, the shower had plenty of pressure and warm water, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and clean up meals and there were 3 AC units that made our stay there totally comfortable.

Our stay at Randall's place was good. Los Sueños Resort in Costa Rica is a great place to stay and rest. The house was a little outdated, and the beach is not the best, but it has all you need, and the beach club is beautiful with outstanding service. You need a car to move between nearby beaches and restaurants. We enjoyed our time in Las Colinas.

We had a great 2 week vacation at this condo. It’s very spacious, close to lots of shops, restaurants and super markets and the condo had everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful place, perfect for enjoying with friends or family, comfortable and equipped to say enough, located in a safe and easily accessible place. I would go back 1000 times without any hesitation.

The setting was amazing! It was really cool to be so close to Montezuma and the area but have a peaceful jungle retreat to go to. The pool was wonderful for cooling off and watching the animals. We saw a great variety of birds, reptiles, and had howler monkeys come through. It was an incredible few days. Jodi reached out after first booking and was a very responsive host, she connected us with Leanne and Ron right away, and they could not have been nicer or more helpful with all our local questions, giving suggestions, recommendations and advice. This was a phenomenal portion of our trip!!

The place is really great and very remote, which of course is great for the peace it gives but getting there is a bit difficult. We didn’t had a 4x4 but I would recommend it. But the place is so nice surround by nature and wildlife. We had monkeys, birds and iguanas visiting. The kids loved it. The pool is absolute gorgeous and we used it constantly. Thanks for the nice stay.

As everyone says it's hard to describe. If you are looking for a convenient, sterile, cookie cutter hotel, this may not be for you. But if you want to emerse yourself in nature and environment, this is a total paradise. Joachim went above and beyond to attend to our needs

We loved staying at Pia’s spot! It has so many amazing plants, and all the amenities you really need in Central America (AC, hot water, outdoor shower, hammocks & shade ◡̈ ) You can see the surf from the porch, there’s a great restaurant right next door, and so many in walking distance in town. It’s in the best location, while very quiet & feels like its own little oasis. Very safe too! Pia was awesome and gave so many helpful tips for the area, got us setup with a driver from the airport & atvs, rentals, all of it! Even texted me when some of the spots I was interested in surfing would be good! So thoughtful, we loved our stay!

This Montezuma property is amazing. Bedrooms were so comfortable and everything was clean. The caretaker and the housekeepers were amazing, so nice and always very helpful and gave us privacy. Karen was amazing as well, very responsive to texts and checked up on us to make sure everything was ok. I’ve been to Costa Rica 3 times ands this trip by far was the best. We look forward to coming back again

The first thing that strikes you when you arrive at the house is the spectacular view of the ocean. The deck is lovely and perfect for lunches and when you have had enough of the sun you can take afternoon snoozes in the gazebo, hidden in the shade of a venerable almond tree.. The pool is warm which is lovely. The house is surrounded by lush vegetation but only 250mts approx from the main road and centre of Santa Teresa. We were only 2 people so there was plenty of room. There are 3 bedrooms, the master bedroom has a walk in bathroom and the other 2 bedrooms share 1 bathroom. The house is tastefully decorated and we would definitely consider returning. The road to get up to the house and the entrance driveway to the property are a little tricky. I would definitely recommend a 4 x 4 vehicle. We had a great long week end and a very good correspondence with the host Nathan and Laurent. I would definitely recommend it.

We just came off 5 days here and wish we could've stayed longer. Directly in the jungle with monkeys above us. We loved having the privacy and our own pool. Seldom does such an amazing place accompany an even more amazing host. Michele was so inviting and kind. The passion he carries for his country is infectious and endearing. Take his recommendations, listen to his guidance. It doesn't come with an agenda, but with love and hope you can enjoy his country like he does. Highly recommended. Pura Vida

My experience at Dana's house was wonderful. The property is really beautiful, with a lovely design that makes you feel at home from the moment you are. Its location is unbeatable, perfect for exploring the surroundings, and with easy access to the main points of interest. Also, the pool is a real plus, ideal for relaxing and cooling off after a day of activities. Without a doubt, a great option for those looking for comfort and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

This was my second time staying at Carlos’ place and I will definitely be back when I come visit Santa Teresa! It is a perfect escape, it feels very private yet is so close to everything you need. The house is clean and has great WiFi and AC for remote work. Carlos is an amazing host, he is super friendly and always willing to help. He even helped me organize a horseback tour. His local knowledge made a huge difference! Great price, great location!

Allegra’s place was amazing!! It was such a beautiful and comfortable home to be our base for exploring. Everything was clean and well appointed, with a great kitchen for cooking up meals when we didn’t want to eat out. Allegra had a welcome basket of fruit and a few amenities that were helpful after a long drive and ferry ride to get there. We used the pool and outdoor living space as much as we could, our daughter absolutely loved it! Would highly recommend and plan on coming back in the future!

The house and the view were spectacular. We really enjoyed our stay, we saw a lot of animals in the sea and on the property (monkeys, coatis, whales). Everything was as described, but you have to know that the architecture of the house is partly open so that you sometimes have guests (pleasant and less pleasant). With a little adjustment, such as reducing the light at dawn, it was no problem, we would love to come back anytime.

Very nice stay at Vanessa's. The casa is well located, on a quiet street, but close to all restaurants and a short walk to the beach. Vanessa is a very proactive host, we had a problem when we left and she quickly sent someone to help us. If we go back to Santa Teresa, we will consider relocating to Vanessa's place.

We enjoyed our time so much at this accommodation, it was close to the hustle and bustle, but far enough that it was super peaceful! The hosts recommended great places to check out and communication was always good. Lots of shopping and opportunities for everyone. Beaches not overly busy and stunning! We even made a little furry cat friend who greeted us every morning and around dinner time, we named her Theresa and she is very welcoming. ☺️

this house was absolutely amazing. if you could dream of a perfect jungle house this would be it. You woke up to birds singing and howler monkeys, well, howling. Our first morning the monkeys came to visit and we sat in the pool watching, it was magical. Lars was so helpful when we checked in, he gave us lots of great food and activity recommendations and even came and helped when we got a visit from a very large spider.

Perfect location. Tucked away but still steps from action. Would definitely stay again.

Great place up in the trees. A bit of a walk getting up to the house, but we knew that from the description. Not a great choice for someone with mobility issues, but it was fine for us. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Easy to get to know the other guests as well.

wonderful place 😍 wonderful host 🍀wonderful emotions 🌅
