Recent Costa Rica guest reviews

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning VRBO house in Costa Rica, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beautiful surroundings and the thoughtful design of the home. One of the highlights was definitely the amazing pool—spacious, pristine, and perfect for relaxing or cooling off after a day of exploring. Adding to the magic were the big parrots in the backyard, which created a vibrant and lively atmosphere. We also enjoyed watching various tropical birds flying around, making us feel deeply connected to the lush environment. The property features a gorgeous tropical garden filled with native plants, enhancing the sense of tranquility and immersion in nature. It was a joy to stroll through the garden and appreciate the vibrant colors and fragrances.

We had a truly unique and memorable experience. Andrey made everything easy with his helpful recommendations and great communication. The house felt very safe, was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the pool area with the pergola was absolutely amazing — perfect for relaxing and enjoying our time.

The complex is centrally located, making it easy to get around and access everything we needed. The hosts were always attentive and quick to help with anything we needed during our stay. The property itself is spacious, beautifully designed, and very comfortable a perfect place to relax and enjoy. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back!

Why vacation in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. You'll find sloths napping in trees, dolphins leaping near your boat, and monkeys chattering in the canopy—all within a single day if you plan it right.

The beauty runs deeper than beaches and rainforests, though. It’s in how the country treats its environment, how it welcomes travelers, and how life seems to slow down just enough to notice more, savor longer, and breathe deeper.

With direct flights from North America, great infrastructure, and a wide variety of vacation types—from wild adrenalin to slow eco-luxury—it’s no wonder Costa Rica tops bucket lists around the world.
