Family-friendly holiday rentals in Rivas

WOW sums it up! Our family was just blown away with the villa and the beautiful view. We are a family of 17......9 grandkids, parents and Grammy/ Gramps. The place was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. Stephen was there to show us around and the ladies had cold drinks for us on arrival. I really can't say enough about the place. Yesenia and Yeneri made a beautiful tasty breakfast for us each morning. 4 of us are celiacs and they were very careful to provide us with what we could eat. Esteban was wonderful and was around to help with anything we needed. He showed us different things around the property, turned on the hot tub when needed and took us on a hike to the waterfall and river. He was great with the kids showing them butterflies and such and played toucan sounds on the stereo to attract the toucans. Sophia and Caleb did great jobs as well The rooms were perfect with amazing views and the garden house was great. Thanks from all of us......amazing memories!❤️

A stunning house in the perfect location! This was a great spot from which to explore this part of the coast. As other reviewers have said, the drive to the property is steep but paved, and there is a long set of stairs from the parking spot to the house. The house is beautifully decorated and has all of the appliances you'll need. The property manager was available when we needed him and gave us great recommendations to local restaurants. We'd stay here again!

Everything was fine. I stayed for 15 days. You need to let the water run for 30 seconds before engaging the hot water heater. It was hard to make the bed and it is really high up to get up on.

This property is truly amazing. The house and pool and landscaping are all stunning, and the views cannot be beaten. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Dominical beach is about a 7-8 minute drive. The service from Esteban and Oscar and the others was first-class.

Amazing! We’ve done this trip in various locations across costa rica and Brian’s place was by far the best, especially for larger groups. The dreamy outdoor kitchen had all the best appliances and tools you could ever need. The pool and lounge area felt like what you would experience at a high end resort. The music hookup and lighting at night was perfect for relaxing and breathtaking sunsets and nighttime conversations. Some of us could even get in a morning workout given the great gym area available and would end it with a cold plunge. I literally can’t think of anything else we could ever need! Beyond being an absolute paradise, Brian went above and beyond to welcome us and ensure we were comfortable. It’s rare these days that the host is as invested in their guests’ experience as Brian, and it’s clear that he really wants his guests to feel at home and welcome. He always promptly answered any questions and was eager to help and give recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!

A4x4 is defiantly required and the some parts of the road can be a little nerve racking the first couple of times. However upon arrival you will be glad you made the trip. The place is peaceful and the surroundings are beautiful and you defiantly feel like you are at one with the jungle. Jeffery was there to greet us and showed us everything we needed to know about the house and pool. As well gave us a quick tour of the fruit on the yard and said we could pick as we required. He also contacted us every other day through Air BnB messaging to see if there was anything we required. There is also a maintenance person who lives close by and was there within 5 min after we contacted Jeffery to change the propane tank when our tank had gone empty. We look forward to staying there again in the future

Despite the rains, the family had a wonderful time at the home. On the last day the rains finally cleared and the view was absolutely stunning. A 4x4 is an absolute must!

An excellent choice in Pérez Zeledón to rest!

This location is outstanding! Our family had a wonderful time enjoying the property, the local hotel, and local wildlife!! We hope to be back! Thank you to Indra for your hospitality.

Love the place. The host helped arrange a car rental which you must have to get to the place. We used an uber a couple of times - although the uber couldn’t get all the way to the place.

Beautiful, picturesque and private. Great place to stay and explore the Cloudbridge Reserve area.

April and her place are AMAZING. We had the best experience in her jungalow. April helped us a lot preparing our stay and during the stay itself. She was VERY accommodating with our every request. She cooked tasty vegetarian meals every night for us and made sure she would let us know when jungle animals (monkeys, birds etc...) could be spotted around the property. We stayed 4 nights with two boys age 3 and 5 and they loved it too. Top place and host for whoever wants something off the beaten path, authentic and comfortable. The trail to get there is a little rough with steep parts but we thought it added to the charm of the place bringing additional “adventure” feel the the experience.

Great location walkable to the beach or restaurants. Place is in it's own little private area and you don't notice the neighbors.

The views from this home are spectacular, and it is a fantastic refuge that makes you feel like you are up in the clouds with jungle all around you. It was a perfect retreat for our family. The driveway is a little steep but totally doable with 4x4 and common for Costa Rica. The bird watching is incredible from here. Easy access to nature nearby and a market and restaurant not too far away. We had a great time!

We didn't want this vacation to end! This place was so beautiful and quiet. The pool, bar and outdoor kitchen were perfect. So well designed. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking the grounds and picking up fresh mangoes, coconuts, limes, starfruit and bananas. The wonderful scent of the ylang ylang trees was everywhere. Absolutely amazing. The house was spacious and we loved the doors of every room and the beautiful arched windows. Great architecture! The towels smelt fresh and were of great quality. The welcome book was truly helpful. Any question we had - the answer was in there. Very well done! One week was just not enough.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The landscaping and scenery were beautiful. Jeff and Nando were friendly and so helpful with great suggestions for activities and restaurants. We used the pool daily and sometimes at night. It was so refreshing after the heat of the day. The 3 building concept was unique and very liveable.

Casa de Paz was absolutely perfect for our family vacations. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by nature and extremely comfortable for a big group. Staff at Portasol were always super responsive and easy to communicate. They helped us book a couple of activities with local companies and solved any minor issue that we needed immediately. I would highly recommend this house if you want to be in a quiet and quite secluded place, with private security.

Absolutely love this location and house. The pool is epic too and we loved the thunder and lightning storms. We had an amazing experience here and even extended our stay to spend more time in the mountains. Louey and Jessica are incredibly responsive and helpful with everything too.

I cannot rave enough about Nina. If there was a such thing as Airbnb Host soulmates, Nina would be mine! She inspires me to be a better host. From the moment I booked, she volunteered so much useful information about our upcoming adventure in LA de Rivas. Days before our arrival she also reached out on her own and volunteered helpful tips and clear instructions to prepare for our arrival. While staying there, she was also extraordinarily helpful even though she wasn’t feeling 100%. I told her I can’t even imagine how good you are at 100% because she was already the best host I’ve ever experienced at an Airbnb. The house is adorable and full of so much great energy. All the little extra touches are so appreciated. It is well stocked with all the supplies you would want, including extras that she included to make you feel right at home, and to make the stay even smoother and more comfortable. We had 5 full days there and could’ve used more, as the area is so dense with beautiful nature

we absolutely loved our stay. the pool was perfect for quick dips to cool off throughout the day. Great to be right in the heart of town and all the restaurants. we would definitely stay here again if returning to dominical.

Linda, was responsive, good communication before and during stay. The welcome was more than we expected from a super-host, fresh fruit, provisions, beer and wine. We were certainly welcomed. The house was stunning, one of the best Airbnb we have stayed in and we have stayed in some stunning houses. Yes, there was some road noise, but to be expected as it’s the main coastal highway - that gave easy access to local sites and places to see. We were a family groip of seven and took the four rooms, that worked well for our stay. A very well equipped house and the infinity pool was the place to chill 😎 in the afternoon. A mid stay clean and laundry re-fresh was welcomed and appreciated.

This place was surreal, from the moment we arrived Ana and Natalia were so helpful We felt like family while we were here! From where is the bank to what’s the best place to eat, they had answers for everything and that was very helpful for it was our first time visiting Costa Rica. 10/10 would stay again. Ps The sunset view off of the pent house is the most spectacular view on the whole street ♥️ you won’t want to Miss it, we rushed back every day just to see it🌅 Pura Vita! 🤙🏽
