Holiday Rentals in Islita

"This vacation ticked all the boxes. We needed a down time for everyone to relax and connect. This property did that. Even without car rentals, we found things to do, walking to Islita and the beach every day. Loved the community and can’t wait to go back. "

"Excellent place! We were absolutely delighted to find this safe, well-appointed, beautifully-decorated room after a long days’ drive. Self check-in, after hours, was easy, and we found the lovely grounds and pool to be an oasis. We made our own simple dinner and had everything we needed to prepare it. Absolutely loved our stay here, and wish it were longer! We’ll be back! 💖"

"We had the most amazing time at Casa de la Loma. We arrived and Ana and Freddy were there to greet us and when we walked into the home just as the sun was setting it literally took our breath away. The pictures don’t begin to show the beauty of this place. A 4 wheel drive is needed to get up the last hill but it’s not scary at all - and I’m a wimp. The town of Samara is very close if you can tear yourself away from the home. And I don’t even know where to begin to praise Ana’s‘s cooking and her...

Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels

"We loved our stay at this beautiful house- it has all modern amenities you would ever need. The communication was super easy, as was the check in- it was very easy to find the house with the directions and google maps. We loved that the house was secluded, super quiet and close to many different beaches. We did not love Sámara, as it was very crowded and touristy, but we loved that this house was close to go to several other amazing beaches. Would definitely stay again!!"

"After staying in 40 short-term rental homes (of all price ranges) around the world, this is single-handedly the best in every way. Every day in the home was an animal watching experience. We saw and heard dozens of birds, local monkeys, and even whales breeching off the coast! All from the comfort of the incredibly luxurious and comfortable indoor/outdoor living spaces and the gorgeous and comfortable pool that the kiddos (ages 1-4) and the adults (all in our 30's) loved. It's hard to believe,...

"Playa Carrillo is a must daily walk and swimming.The time flew by quickly but have quality family memories.You’ll need at least 2 weeks to enjoy different beaches,rain forest & local nightlife."

"We stayed for 2 weeks with 3 generations of our family. Was a great fit for all of us. The kids loved the pool, we loved the ability to walk to the beach in less than 10 minutes, or just hop in the car and drive for about 2 minutes and be in town!"

"Located in K section of Nosara and a short walk to the beach. The beach is excellent for sunsets and surfing. A quick ride into Playa Guiones shops. An ATV or two is a must to get around town.Great property manager who is super helpful and there to greet you in arrival and departure. You will enjoy it here."

"Perfect location, the beautiful Playa Samara is a very short walk down the street. Ocean was beautiful, sunsets even prettier. We stayed for the week, and wished it could have been longer. Rental company was responsive, home very clean, lots of towels for everyone. Don't miss this vacation rental, worth every penny!"

"This is a great little home in Playa Pelada. It has a well stocked kitchen and makes the most out of a relatively compact home. There is a bed in a loft and another small cabin that has another bedroom and bathroom. It is just a few minute walk to the beach and about 10 minutes into some local restaurants in Playa Pelada. It is about a 20 minute walk into playa Guiones, which is the main beach in the nosara area. Tiffany took great care of us during our stay and had lots of helpful local...

"This spacious home provided a grounding home base for our adventure to Costa Rica. We are a family of 8 and it met all of our needs There was more than enough living space inside and out-to be together and also take restful space- including a beautiful pool and a well equipped kitchen. The host and property manager were very attentive. It was fantastic! "

"The house we stayed in has beautiful woodwork and was spacious but also a bit treacherous with a stairway with no handrail and a step up part way into the living area. The beach is lovely and it was not touristy when we there (during heavy rainfall). Howler monkeys entertained us frequently. The maid did a very good job. Like many Costa Rican properties the road in was quite bad. The kitchen had few of what I consider essentials so cooking was challenging but not impossible. The shower...

"Central pool and rancho is the focal spot of the facility. Other guests/owners all very friendly. Moderate walk to beach. Unit is a little dated but all is adequate. A/C and WIFI worked well. Only small issue was the fridge is not balanced which caused a big wobble and difficulty opening"

Luxury Villa, 3 Bedrooms, Private Pool | Private pool

"This is truly the nicest hotel I’ve stayed at in my life. It felt like I had my own private mini mansion. Private pool for the rental, mostly glass walls made it feel like I was living in the jungle, Paulo was an incredible host and was very responsive, the list goes on and on, all of the amenities, even yoga mats waiting for us… If this place is in your budget, stay here!!!"

"This was the perfect place to escape the crowded beach of Samara, get a lovely reset and then go back down to enjoy the restaurants - sunrises and sunset horseback riding! :)"

Beautiful Hotel with Great Beach Access

"Our second visit to this hotel. It’s beautiful. Staff are friendly and helpful. Situated as close to the beach as possible in Nosara. You walk right out of the hotel to the path to the beach. A couple minor things on this trip. They did charge an extra $45 a night because we brought our son (making 3 of us) even though the suite we booked sleeps 4. So that added an extra $250 onto our cost. The other minor issue is the cost of beer at the restaurant. $8 a bottle for a domestic lager and $14 for a domestic IPA. In town those are like $2.50 and $4 respectively. We went to the local market and bought 6-packs for $12. On the other hand the cocktails are great and cost about what you would expect at an upscale bar. Otherwise the place is the best combination of location, comfort, and cost in Nosara. We will definitely be back."

"This was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable stays in recent memory. The staff was courteous and kind. The food was amazing on sit and the accommodations were great. The resort is 2.5hours away from the airport, mostly on local roads so be prepared for a trip after your flight into Costa Rica, but the experience is well worth it in my opinion."
