Recent Puntarenas vacation rental reviews

The property was clean and comfortable. The outdoor space was incredible! Close to beaches, restaurants and activities. We did not walk to the beach but did enjoy listening to the waves and watching surfers from the patio.
Dara A. | Jun 2026
Loved this home! Great location, very spacious, Carlos (the home caretaker) was friendly and helpful. Waves were pretty big when we stayed, but we still enjoyed the black sand beach and only ventured into the ocean a little ways. Would definitely stay here again.

Security, comfortable, clean and staff was excellent.
