Stays & rates

Stay a week, a season, or somewhere in between

We host holidays, working months and long Costa Rican winters. Rates depend on the studio, the season and how long you stay. Check live dates on our booking widget, or write to us and we will send you a proper quote.

Practical details

01

How do I book?

Use our booking widget right here on the website to look for specific dates and availability, or write to us on WhatsApp or by email with your dates and the number of guests. We will confirm availability, send you a rate and hold the studio for you. A deposit secures the booking.

02

What is the minimum stay?

Two nights is our minimum. For stays of a month or more, ask us about the reduced rates.

03

Is there parking?

Yes, there is parking on site. That said, almost everything in Santa Teresa is within walking distance of the property, and we rent bikes here too.

04

Do you accept long-term guests with pets?

Sometimes, depending on the studio and the length of the stay. Ask us, we would rather talk it through than say no by default.

05

When is the best time to come?

December to April is our dry season. Summer all day, crystal clear water, and busy as well. May to November is greener, quieter, cheaper, and the surf is often better. It rains in the afternoon, not all day.

06

How do I get to Santa Teresa?

Fly into San José or Liberia, then take a shuttle, a domestic flight to Cóbano, or drive and cross on the Puntarenas ferry. We will talk you through the options.

07

What time is check-in and check-out?

The studio is ready from 3pm, and check-out is at 11am. Because check-in is self service with a gate code, you can arrive later in the evening without anyone waiting up for you. If you need a different time, ask us and we will see what we can do.
