This property made the entire vacation. The proximity to the beach and town were fantastic but the ease, comfort, open space and the pool topped it all off. Definitely worth it!

We had such a fantastic week in Santa Teresa at this gorgeous property!! The house had a perfect layout for our group of 7 and all of the bedrooms were big with comfortable beds and beautiful views. The outdoor pool area is so stunning with its ocean views. The location was perfect... a quick walk down the driveway and there is a lovely cafe across the street, a fun beachfront restaurant, and of course, the amazing beach. The surfers in our group especially enjoyed the proximity to the surf. The concierge Jose was super helpful in booking our transportation to/from the airport, arranging delivery of a rental car, and making dinner reservations. The housekeepers were so sweet and kept the villa immaculate during our stay. We were sad to leave and hope to return someday soon. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!!

Nice layout of the house. Lovely view. Upon arrival we had a few issues with the air conditioners and they were promptly fixed.

Wow! That’s what me and all my friends said when we entered the house on our first day. And, it didn’t disappoint. We had the best week. Awesome location, architecture, and amenities. We enjoyed the pool, and the amazing views. Incredible. The rooms were perfect for our group. And, Jose the property manager was SO helpful!! Helped us with everything from groceries, to transportation, renting ATVs, private chef, zip lining, and surfing lessons!!! Overall, this place is amazing, and our entire group wants to come back soon!!

Truly and AMAZING property . We were absolutely thrilled with all aspects of our week long stay Beautiful views and breathtaking sunsets Stunning indoor / outdoor living space that naturally transitions into the negative edge pool Spacious luxurious bedrooms with walls of windows .. all with ensuite bathrooms No one gets the "bad bedroom" Jose and his Staff offer "5 STAR" service and very willing to accommodate your requests Easy access to spectacular beaches and only steps away from delicious oceanfront dining We HIGHLY recommend you consider Casa Maleku ... Stephen has built a FANTASTIC property and a pleasure to work with when planning your trip...

Other than a couple of things that don’t work in the house like the fridge, dish washer and the ac in one of the bedrooms that drips water on the bed in the middle of the night, the house is nice but from the moment you walk in Stephen makes you feel like you are walking on egg shells. We were there for week long celebrating our wedding, our very special week, Stephen and Jose the concierge were constantly sending us texts about non sense stuff like why do you guys have so much laundry or why did you have your parents over for dinner one night. I am Costa Rican and I live in the US so I don’t get to see my family very often and because I had them over for dinner one night he charged us ‘’an event fee’’ of $1,500 that was taken out of our security deposit. He also took another $1,000 ($500 of this was taken out after we checked out without letting us know). He stalked our Instagram accounts to look for “evidence” and took a screenshot of a yoga class I did with a couple of the girls the morning of our wedding to justify all these money he took from us. These along with a lot of other things our stay there was a horrible experience from the beginning to now that we are dealing with CC company to try to get our money back. There are so many other amazing places to stay in Santa Teresa. I recommend to stay away from this one!

Casa Maleku is both impressive and inviting. The modern architecture and amazing landscaping will keep your eyes busy the whole time your there. Wether your lounging by the pool and enjoying some of the best sunsets in the world or if your just sitting on the sofa's relaxing after a long day of surfing, the experience will always be pleasant. The same can be said for the owner, our interactions with him were always courteous, they were quick to reply and they accommodated our every need. All in all, I can't recommend this place enough. If you are thinking of going to Santa Teresa, this is absolutely the place to stay.

Not only was this house unbelievable, and the town super charming, but to make this trip top notch, Steve went above and beyond to make sure we got the best experience out of this amazing place. From charter planes and atv rentals before we even got there to the best restaurant recommendations, fun activities and taking me to the best surf spots around, it was a trip I will never forget. Can't wait to go back. Thank you Joyas Villas!!
