Beachfront House RentalAc / Pool / Wifi / Maid Service / TV

This is our 2nd time staying at Milla la Maria. It's rustically charming and warm. May not be the most upscale modern accomodation but its rustic charm and ideal location make up

for that. Roberto the home's owner is a pleasure to deal with too. Leaving after 2 weeks feeling very relaxed and blissed out. Santa Teresa is a haven of laid back tranquility on of the world's best beaches.

We had the opportunity to stay in Roberto's outstanding home in March 2016 for a week with three separate families with the age ranges from 3-63 (total of 10 individuals including 4 kids 3-12 years old). The house is set up to hold multiple families with four separate large bedrooms that are all air conditioned. The downstairs is great for gathering and starting/ finishing the day. The pool was awesome for both the kids and adults in which we spent many afternoons in there. The walk to the beach trough you private access takes 1-2 minutes. The beach is outstanding for surfing, kids swimming, watching sunsets, and fires at night. The water is warm with a sand bottom. Referring back to the house, it has everything you need from drinking water/ice/grill/and all the appropriate accessories you need. There is a market right across from the property that is very convenient and has everything that you need. Roberto suggested many great places to eat and we also found some additional ones as well (Chicken Joes and the Soda right down the street). Roberto also arranged transportation to and from the airport in Tambor as well as five quads that were delivered and picked-up at the house. All of the services he recommended were A+ and can be trusted and reliable (Roberto also checked in multiple times through the week). And lastly there is Millane (spelled wrong) who takes care of the property daily, she is awesome and is very helpful. This was my families second year in a row at this house and plan to return yearly. All three families highly recommend this house to individuals and families of all ages. Great trip again!

We rented this property to hold a small wedding celebration and it turned out to be the perfect choice. We were already familiar with the house, having spent a lot of time in the area, but we had never previously stayed here. The location couldn't be better. It is in a quieter area of Santa Teresa but still within walking distance of several restaurants and a supermarket. The beach is stunning and the surf is on your doorstep.

We were 2 families sharing the house, 9 people in total, and the house and garden are so spacious that you never feel on top of each other. The garden is amazing with a huge variety of heliconias and other tropical plants.

The teenagers in the party enjoyed the freedom of being able to walk to the shop for an ice cream or pop out for a take away at the local 'soda', as well as spending hours in the pool and in the sea.

This house is 'quirky' and full of Costa Rican character, unlike some of the other rental properties we looked at in the area. It is definitely one of a kind and we feel very privileged to have stayed here.

We had the pleasure of staying in Roberto's wonderful home for 2 weeks this past January/February. It was our first time in Santa Teresa and now we cannot wait to return! I went with my family of four (husband and 2 boys ages 5 and 9) and my husbands extended family. There were 8 of us in all and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The house is set up almost like 4 individual suites. The bedrooms were very comfortable, clean and quiet. The only disturbance may be the sounds of howler monkeys (how great is that?!). The beach is really close - only a short walk down a path. The pool was wonderful and the little shaded cabana by the pool is where we would relax in the heat of the day while the boys swam. My husband surfed the break in front of the house everyday and I was able to run on the beach. The house is in a great location with restaurants and stores close by. We rented a car - but you wouldn't necessary have to. We did a mix of eating in (there is a fun outdoor grill at the house) and eating dinners out. Playing on the beach with the kids watching the sunset was the best!

Roberto and his son were incredibly kind and helpful and would answer any questions that might come up by either the house phone or email. They gave us advice on restaurants, fishing, zip-lining and yoga classes. And they helped coordinate our transportation when needed.

I hope we are able to return soon to stay again at Milla de Maria!

While I have been to Santa Teresa many times, this was the first time we rented a house and it is a great way to go. In terms of value for a beachfront location, this home will be tough to beat if you are a family or large group. Not only are there 4 private bedrooms all with their own bathrooms, but each bedroom has multiple beds so this house can easily handle a lot of people! The living areas are spacious and the beach access and location is as good as it gets. The house is set back from the road so as to avoid noise and dust and also set back from the each so as to provide privacy. While it would be wonderful if the house had a view of the beach, the rent would be much higher. Again, if you are seeking the best value for a group in a house with private beach access, this is the best you can get!

It should be noted that the house does not have lots of bright sunlight which some folks may regret, but the good news about that is it helps to keep the living areas cool during the day. The bedrooms all are air conditioned. The grounds are beautiful and filled with amazing tropical plants, birds, colors and the intoxicating scents of white ginger and jasmine! Roberto is a delightful man and a pleasure to work with and Melania works hard to keep the house and grounds clean and beautiful. Pura Vida!
