Vacation rentals in River Tarcoles

Our stay here was amazing! Chris and Hollie were extremely responsive throughout our entire stay and provided great recommendations for local restaurants, activities, etc. We highly recommend a 4x4 if available for the drive and enjoyed the scenic views along the trip up the mountain. The house is perfectly designed with modern features and everything you need to ensure you feel right at home. The back porch was incredible for morning coffee and enjoying the views of the beach and jungle, while listening and seeing the wildlife surrounding us. We were extremely comfortable during our stay and enjoyed opening up the doors at night to let the cool ocean breeze pass through. What makes this place extra special is Chris and Hollie. We enjoyed getting to know more about them, the property, their vision for future projects, and you can see their genuine joy for hosting guests. They were readily available when asking questions and made sure we were comfortable. Thank you for a great trip!

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.

Beautiful accommodation, with amazing views. From the moment you arrive, you're surrounded by hydrangeas. It has wonderful gardens. Everything is in excellent condition. The cabin is beautiful, well designed. It has a huge window that lets you see all the gardens from your bed. It's very safe, you have a lot of privacy. Super comfortable beds and pillows. Very well located near a gas station and convenience store, Poás Volcano Park and 40 minutes from the airport. It's a gem. I highly recommend it. And by the way, they have very friendly dogs on the property. They are beautiful and they will suddenly greet you

This Airbnb is absolutely magical. The views are stunning and Victoria is such a gracious host. She and her husband went out of their way to make me feel at home and make sure I was getting full use of the amenities. Everything was so comfortable and thoughtful. And their property has some of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen! Couldn’t recommend more!

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!
