Four beaches on Guanacaste’s Pacific coast. Not sure if your home is in our area? Ask us on a call.

Our home base, and the beach our company is named after. A relaxed surf beach with homes set back among the trees.

A gated community of homes, villas and condos just north of Avellanas. We coordinate gate entry for guests and providers, and HOA bills.

A small surf town just south of Avellanas, known for its reef break and laid-back pace.

A wide, quiet beach further south along the coast, for owners who want a slower pace.

The story

We started Avellanas Property Management after buying a rental property of our own in Costa Rica. We went through two different management companies, and neither delivered the service we wanted. It caused us a lot of headaches.

So we built the company we wished we’d had. Our goal is to make buying, owning and renting a home in Costa Rica a pleasure, and to take the stress out of it for homeowners.

  • Ross’s place was absolutely incredible. Everything you could think of to make traveling easier was there. A washer and dryer, sunscreen and books, a mini cooler to pack a lunch at the beach, Tupperware, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach blankets/towels. My husband specifically said you have to write a review about the knives and how sharp they are! All the fruit cutting was made so much easier with a wonderfully stocked kitchen- it had every kitchen gadget you could need, and the knives were excellent. We would def come back here and can’t say enough about how responsive and helpful Ross was. He offered early checkin, late checkout, and answered all of our questions within minutes. We can’t wait to come back!

    LaurenSilver Lake, OH · March 2026

  • YOU’VE GOT TO STAY HERE! What a haven with all of the amenities, including helpful guides on what to do, where to eat and even the best dishes to try, complete with boogie boards, sunshades, flutter boards and water toys. The home is beautiful and well thought out and laid out, organized, and very well equipped. We will 100% come back!

    AshleyOshawa, Canada · March 2026

  • We had a wonderful stay of over a week at this property in Costa Rica. Ross was an incredible host… super responsive, accommodating, and always helpful whenever we needed anything. He gave great suggestions for transportation and restaurants that made our trip so much easier to navigate, and when we needed additional supplies, he made sure we got them as quickly as possible. His communication and care made all the difference. Highly recommend staying here!

    TamekaWashington, DC · July 2026

  • We had an amazing stay, and Ross was a fantastic host! The detailed information he provided prior to check-in made it a completely seamless process. The villa is located in a gated area.

    The place itself was clean and in the perfect location. We loved being just a short drive or walk away from excellent local restaurants. The pool was a huge highlight for relaxing, and the location is unbeatable for quick access to beaches and surfing. Ross also provided a wonderful list of local tour and restaurant recommendations, which made planning our days so easy. We highly recommend staying here!

    RubyWashington, United States · June 2026

  • We had a wonderful stay in Playa Avellanas! We were traveling as a family with a 2-year-old and a 5-month-old, and everything was truly perfect for us.

    The place was very clean, well-equipped, and ideal for families. Having a car made it easy to explore the area, and the location worked out great for our needs.

    Communication with the host was excellent — always quick, friendly, and very helpful. They were also incredibly accommodating and even provided a drying rack upon our request, which we really appreciated.

    CélineZürich, Switzerland · April 2026

  • The place was absolutely beautiful and perfectly matched the description. It was incredibly clean and safe. Ross, our host, was fantastic and promptly answered any questions we had during our stay. The location is incredibly convenient, right next to markets, restaurants, and the beach, with a pool right outside your doorstep. Every morning and night, you’ll be treated to a stunning view of the wildlife outside your window.

    We will definitely visit again and highly recommend.

    ConnorMarch 2026

  • We had a wonderful stay in Avellanas! The house was clean, cozy, and located in a lovely, quiet condo with just a few houses sharing the pool. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Ross was a fantastic host — super helpful and always very responsive.

    Avellanas is one of our favorite spots in Guanacaste. It’s less crowded than Tamarindo, with one of the best beach breaks in the area and a relaxed surf vibe. The long sandy beaches are perfect for walks, and the sunsets are beautiful.

    We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back soon.

    KatrinSan José, Costa Rica · October 2026

  • Our best stay in Costa Rica! The space is impeccable, extremely clean, very well structured, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The host was very attentive, helpful, and welcomed us very well. We would definitely come back and recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for making our experience even more special!
