Vacation rentals in River Tarcoles

This is such a beautiful, comfortable, and clean home with wonderful views. We spent 6 nights exploring Atenas, and this home is convenient to town and several other attractions. The hostess has a book for guests with great suggestions for what to do and see while in Atenas.

Absolutely Perfect – A True Jungle Oasis This place was everything I needed and more. Nestled in the heart of the jungle, it was the perfect retreat to rest, reset, and reconnect with nature. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed—like I was part of the family. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, and their warmth and hospitality made this stay unforgettable. Waking up to the sounds of the jungle, surrounded by lush greenery, was pure magic. The space itself was peaceful, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. I left feeling recharged and incredibly grateful for the experience. I will absolutely be back—and I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone looking for a true escape into nature with the warmth of home.

Loved this air bnb! It was fabulous. Breath-taking views & the pool was amazing. My boyfriend and I spent a decent amount of time at our air bnb (because it was just so beautiful) so it was such a highlight of our trip. They helped us book excursions, massages, and even had our groceries delivered when we got there late at night. My rating is 1000/10!! The way up to the air bnb is a crazy drive. Fernanda helped us find it and check in on the first day, so it wasn’t too bad, but definitely took some practice getting up that road on a steep hill / mountain. Would highly recommend renting a 4WD small SUV. Well worth it for the view though.

WOW! We loved our stay!! The rolling hills of hydrangeas were absolutely gorgeous, and we enjoyed some lightning bugs and beautiful views of the city in the distance. The cabin was spotless and comfortable. We felt super safe and loved the little wood stove. The area is so fun too! Adrian had some great local recommendations for us. We hope to visit again soon!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our family stayed for ten nights as a home base to explore the Pacific side of Costa Rica. The pool was fantastic! I especially enjoyed the bottom pool that doubles as hot tub (when my kids weren't in the upper half splashing the cold water into it). The pool is very large with lots of space for splashing, and there is so much wildlife and bird-watching off of the amazing porch and decks. We were mesmerized by the scarlet macaws that flew by and sometimes roosted nearby. Being in the mountains, you are literally in the clouds. It was other-worldly when they rolled in most afternoons. So cool! Indoors: we utilized the kitchen quite frequently, making dinner every night. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies for cooking. The living area was very comfortable and great for watching TV together in the evening. Bathrooms and bedrooms were well-appointed with what we needed, and the washer/dryer was great to have, as we are light packers and did get muddy some days. Overall a wonderful stay!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home tucked into the jungle. The setting is very serene, with the sound of the river always in the background and the plethora of wildlife all around. The bed was very comfy, so a good nights rest was practically guaranteed. There are a few things I would note for anyone considering the home, especially if this is your first visit to the area. It is a 10+ minute rocky drive to the home off the main road, not a big deal with a sturdy car. Especially during rainy season, there’s a good chance you’ll lose power at some point, but seems to be restored quickly. Most places, including this home, discouraged you from flushing toilet paper, an adjustment from home. Being that this place is so small, there’s not a ton of privacy between the bathroom and bedroom, and the living area is not meant for lounging. That’s what the outdoor spaces are for! This was an experience unlike any other we’ve had in our previous visits to CR, I highly recommend it!

We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin! The view was absolutely breathtaking — right in front of La Lucha, which made for a peaceful and scenic backdrop. The cabin was warm, comfortable, and had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen, which was fully stocked for cooking our own meals. Carolina was an excellent host — so kind, welcoming, and very accommodating. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature!

Really nice place and perfect for a quick getaway with your partner. If you want to spend some time close to San Jose but outside of the city this is a great place
