Family-friendly holiday rentals in Carmen Beach

I love the quiet location and great view! We were returning for a 3rd visit to this house and it’s always great! Walkable food, drinks, coffee and beach. Great hosts, always super responsive and kind. They’re helpful with things around the house and know everything about the area if you need anything. The beach is paradise! The house is a perfect place for you to feel like you’re miles away from anything, when really it’s just a quick walk

Norman’s place is amazing and he was very communicative and helpful! Would definitely recommend to go there and I would love to go back.

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.

Super cute the apartment and pool is very close to the apartment! There is a gym also the pool pair!

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!!

Wonderful week with my family of four! Loved Punta Islita—beautiful beach and resort- amenities available to us! So much wildlife around! We actually loved the separate master bedroom, worked perfectly for us. The pool was exquisite! Highly recommend!

My wife and I LOVE Marriott Los Suenos. It is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places I have ever stayed. Johana's unit is located right next to the golf course with a great view of the course and water. The Beach Club is super nice & highly recommended. Perfect place for a getaway.

Nailed it with this location. We have never visited Costa Rica before & I can’t express how helpful Caesar was through the whole process with any questions I had. He was very quick to respond and always incredibly helpful. The house itself was a dream. It was much bigger than we actually needed, but it was nice to have the space to spread out. we felt very safe in Punta Leona. The views from the house were so incredibly gorgeous. Waking up every day to the sounds of the ocean and all the birds and wildlife all around will be missed, but we do hope to return one day. Hazel the housekeeper comes every day and she is such a special person. She was also very helpful. The beds are super comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked. We saw tons of monkeys, iguanas, scarlet macawas, and many other birds from the house. Plays Blanca was wonderful to snorkel every day. We watched sea turtles hatch from the beach and snorkeling with sea turtles & colorful fish. It was perfect.

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 as a family of four loved the place. So nice to be able to sit on the veranda with a coffee listen to the waves crash and watch wildlife. Lily and Rosie were very helpful and gracious.

Such a lovely stay, the villa is gorgeous, views are stunning, we loved it! The hill is walkable but steep so it was definitely a good work out, we had a 4x4 and it managed it fine. Santa Teresa is great, so many restaurants and bars, we surfed/tried to, headed to Montezuma for zip wire and thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets from the villa. BBQ and kitchen was great, we ate in a few times and quite enjoyed watching the ant action at night. Tomi the dog was a lovely extra we discovered he loved chomping on ice cubes, he was a gem! The hosts are very responsive, loved the info they sent it was great, would highly recommend staying here.

We had an amazing two week stay at Casa Camino ground floor! The house was amazing and modern, yet highlighted the surrounding nature beautifully. We saw many monkeys, iguanas, frogs, and more which was special. The location is perfect on the north end of Santa Teresa - away from the busiest part of town, 5 min walk to surf & beach. Mike and his team were great communicators and always helpful with assisting in coordinating activities, taxis, etc. You won’t regret staying here!

Everything about our stay here was a dream, I didn’t want to leave! This place is a little piece of paradise and is so much more than we expected. The place was so clean, the water pressure in the shower was amazing, the property was spectacular! We loved taking a dip in the pool each evening and hearing the howler monkeys each morning, the different birds and other wildlife! Michele is an amazing host - always looking out for his guests and providing advice and recommendations based on our daily plans each time we ran into him - he truly cares about his guests and wants your stay to be as perfect as you do. He let us check in early when we arrived in Montezuma, he also recommended we check out late as he had no guests coming the day we left. I cannot say anything bad about this place!

We really enjoyed our time at Simonas place and actually extended our stay by another 4 nights. The location is perfect (3 min walk to the surf beach) and the apartment has everything you need. We would come back anytime! :)

Dana's house is in a preferred position, you can walk on a small path to get to the beach and is in a quieter area of Santa Teresa. We enjoyed the terrace after the sun went down and the kitchen was very comfortable to prepare meals.

We loved our stay! Great house , lovely pool, we saw Toucans and Iguana. Allegra has been there when we needed! Everything was perfect.

I’ve had to take some time to fully articulate the experience we had. To put it simply, the photos do not do the home justice. The staff is just amazing. We had never been to Montezuma, and, what an amazing town. We had been to Costa Rica before, and if you’re looking for an authentic experience with people you trust, do yourself a favor and stay here. The home speaks for itself. It’s such a special place. Skip the popular & tourist towns and visit here. Amazing.

Exc lugar, todo a walking distance 🫶

Madera Vista was our favourite place we’ve stayed at in CR! Beautiful house, set in fantastic surroundings with a lovely view from both the pool and balcony. Kelsey organised for an ATV to be dropped off at the house for us, could not have had more accommodating hosts! This is the perfect place to stay in Santa Teresa!

The place was amazing! They look cleaners and maid service was also friendly. The only problem is the raccoons drinking from the pool later at night and crawling on the roof but I think that’s out of their hands. Otherwise it’s the most central spot for anything around Santa Teresa and the host is so responsive!

We loved it here! Everything was super clean and the beds were comfortable. The pool is gorgeous. The host is lovely and super communicative, made it feel like we were visiting a friend. And the location is absolutely unbeatable! Falling asleep up in the trees, away from the crowds and volume of the town, but only a 4 minute walk from everything you could need. We can't wait to come back!

It's evident how much effort Dave has put into the design of the home. The decor he selected is beautiful and unique. The hammocks were a wonderful treat. The bathrooms were each uniquely and beautifully designed, two of the three have open air showers. We enjoyed the privacy of the home. With so many windows and the open air in many areas of the house, we truly experienced the feeling of being immersed in the forest and nature. We were excited to hear howler monkeys off in the distance. The ocean view, forest, and sunrises were beautiful from the large back deck, and looking out from the master bedroom sliding door and deck. The darkness of the secluded home blessed us with millions of stars each night. The home maintained a temperature perfect for comfort, including at night, due to the home design, the screened windows/doors, along with the open air eaves. Dave also offered some great tips on things to do and restaurant recommendations.

My wife and I were lucky to spend multiple weeks in Tania's Casa Tranquila bungalow. Tania was always very responsive when situations required her attention and working through the caretakers, Andres and Migdahlia, things were resolved quickly. The setting was exactly as he had hoped with the balcony providing an excellent vantage point to observe howler monkeys, iguanas, agouti, white-nosed coati, and a multitude of birds and butterflies. The bungalow has all the necessary necessities and the air conditioning was heaven-sent during our hot, dry season visit. Migdahlia and Andres did a wonderful job assisting us with the care of the bungalow and providing a weekly light cleaning. They were especially patient with us since we do not speak Spanish. All in all, Montezuma was exactly what we were hoping for on this trip with its funky vibe, good restaurants, shopping and beautiful beaches. We also took advantage of the trails and visiting Montezuma Falls-gorgeous! Bring a 4WD vehicle!
