Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Rivas

This place was perfect for us, two adults and two kids (12 and 9 yrs old). We had originally planned on staying at another place higher on the hill until we realized the road to get there was insanely steep and challenging to navigate, especially during the rainy season. Eric’s place was easy to get to, with a friendly security guard monitoring traffic into the neighborhood. The view was AMAZING, the beds were comfy and the pool was clean and refreshing. Great location for exploring other beaches and the towns of Dominical and Uvita and an easy 1.25 hr drive south to Sierpe for a mangrove boat tour (which was awesome) or to access Corcovado NP. Eric and Fabiola were wonderful and very helpful hosts. First-timer advice: if you’re renting a car, go with a smaller 4x4, we got a Hyundai Kona. Barely fits our luggage, but easy to navigate on narrow Costa Rican roads and small parking spaces.

From the moment we arrived, this home had such a beautiful, welcoming, home-y feeling. It’s located in a fantastic area—surrounded by great restaurants and plenty of things to do. The pool was warm, clean, and incredibly refreshing—perfect for relaxing after a day out. The host was amazing! She went above and beyond, offering personalized restaurant recommendations (we tried several and loved them) and sharing tons of helpful details about local excursions and activities. She even offered to help us book them! While we only had time for the 90-minute massage (which was wonderful), we could tell she really knows her stuff and is passionate about making her guests’ stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-located getaway with an exceptional host. We’d definitely stay again! 🌴✨

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away! The place was exactly as pictured—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and filled with thoughtful touches that made it feel like home (but better!). The host was incredibly responsive and kind, offering local tips and going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.

Amazing house, pool, and location - close to everything in Uvita, yet secluded. The pictures of the view from the deck and pool don't do it justice. The house was very clean, and the hosts were easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend this home to others.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Fantastic, home,host,town,views,wildlife sightings, hands down one of the best locations we’ve ever stayed. Secluded but still plenty to do. Book this- you will not be disappointed. Enjoyed the adventure, and we highly recommend. Pictures are great but everything is even better in person. The house has everything you need! Plus more! -Pura Vida

Phenomenal property, beautiful, private, secure. We spent a lot of time in the great pool. Well appointed with every we needed. Expensive by Costa Rican standards but well worth it!

Stunning location. Comfortable home has everything you need. we loved it!

Cindy’s place was absolutely amazing. We loved every minute! The pool was SO nice, the views are incredible. It’s a short drive to the beach and town. Cindy was so great! She was so gracious and accommodating. We saw frogs, monkeys, iguanas, toucans and more all from the porch and pool. I really can’t say enough about the house and host! Thank you for an amazing time in your beautiful home!!!

We loved this Airbnb! If you’re planning to spend time in Dominical, this location is perfect. Steps to the beach, steps to restaurants and bars…perfect. The unit was clean, comfortable, and quiet at night. Communication with Teri was fantastic. Her check-in instructions were, by far, the most detailed I have seen. Lovely pool, bikes were a nice touch. All in all, a 5-star Airbnb.

I couldn’t be happier with this Airbnb!! My husband and I booked Brian & Karla’s Casita for a week to enjoy our honeymoon. I wish we’d booked it even longer. This place has a way of making you feel completely unplugged from society, all the while being as modern as it gets. Pictures don’t do it justice! The wrap around balcony was perfect for evening sunsets, and the inside of the Casita was a perfect place to relax after adventuring Costa Rica. The Casita is a short drive down the mountain to Dominical, which has tons of local restaurants - Brian’s recommendations were spot on! You are also super close to Nuayaca Waterfalls, Uvita, and Manuel Antonio! Brian is an amazing host and quickly responded whenever we had questions. Him and his wife even made us dinner one night. We highly recommend this airbnb and we would book at Brian’s 1000x over! Pura Vida

this place was amazing, little private spot, the outdoor shower was a plus

The hostess is very friendly and communicative. A beautiful place, a great view of the sea, very tidy, clean, very quiet, beautiful nature.

Great AirBnB room in a hotel complex. Very great and large balcony with great views over the garden and the sea. In the middle of animals and wonderful vegetation. Great hotel trails and very nice pool area. Very good food and friendly staff. Very quick response to questions and very helpful hints. Highly recommended !

Fantastic place to stay in Uvita service is incredible place is great vibes are even better!

Our stay was so comfortable, it was a gorgeous high end casita with so many thoughtful amenities (we were the middle one of three that are stacked down a hillside below the main host house). Each one offers something different, the deck, windows and surrounding views are so expansive. You are nested in a rainforest valley and can see the ocean from the shared pool. There was an amazing welcome package, our hosts were so responsive, the kitchen and bathroom are so well stocked! Diana made us cookies and spoiled our children and us with laundry access. It’s a very homey feel, with easy conversations and SO friendly and welcoming as the pool is attached to their home so they have people coming and going from their space. They have future expansion plans that sound amazing and this place is very beautifully designed and luxurious! It was a great stay and find!!!!! We highly recommend it-kid friendly and our kids loved the pool and goats! Note- it’s a steep road in so 4x4 is needed.

Outstanding view. Everything was clean, the canavida team was very responsive all time. We had a seamless self-checkin. I definitely recommend the place. I loved it.

Good value, and helpful host. Would stay again

Above all it was excellent We were surprised to arrive and see such a beautiful, tidy, organized and clean place, the pool is quite deep (about 1.70cm since I measure 1.47 and did not reach the bottom) Which is quite comfortable to swim at ease and dive for a while, the kitchen is very well equipped⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ With Victor I did not have to wait 2 minutes for him to respond, he always gave with the result of my inquiries, and Gabriela undoubtedly to some very kind and attentive to our needs, the place is just as in the photos, close to beaches and the place is very quiet to take a walk, go to eat, beach and even waterfalls(10 minutes by car) I recommend it quite a bit, in short we will come back some day⭐⭐⭐⭐

Marlene went above and beyond during our stay. If I come back to Uvita, I am definitely going to come back to this place!

Diana’s place was absolutely amazing. Pictures do not do it justice. The views were incredible in the morning with all the glass windows. Diana was the Most helpful host we have had, giving us extra blankets, binoculars for the kids, and beach chairs and toys. U will not regret this stay! Cant wait to come stay again.

I came for a yoga and meditation retreat. This was the perfect 1 bedroom home to base myself, kitchen to cook each day, nice hill to go for morning walking and hikes, large lounge and balcony to practice my morning yoga. Good internet to do my work at the computer. Good air conditioning to keep cool when in the house. Lizzet was always responsive and helpful. High recommend.

I had a wonderful , comfortable stay here. I highly recommend this place. I booked last-minute and Jaime was promptly responsive. Easy self-check-in, with clear instructions. Everything was perfect, I had everything I needed. Great cozy bed, covered secure parking inside a gate, nice little pool, great spacious deck. I can’t say enough good things about this space.

We enjoyed our time in Uvita! The space was comfortable! Marlène was prompt in responding! The pool was fabulous after our adventures on hot days! The location was great! 15 minute casual walk to Marina Ballena National Park (The Whale’s Tail)! I would definitely stay here again when in the area!

This was the perfect location for being surrounded by nature while being close to the beach and conveniences of town. Joe’s place was clean and comfortable. The view is spectacular. Definitely will be back.
