Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Rivas

Such a perfect little spot for us on our way to San Jose. Loved the convenient location and ease of getting in and out. The house is super thoughtful and well designed with lots of light, nice kitchen and bath and a beautiful green space out back. Very peaceful at night and it felt very secure with the car behind a big gate. We will be back. Thank you! Recommended!

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! 🌴✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️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

We stayed in this nice flat, with separate rental upstairs. Very cute garden. We appreciated use of the laundry machines. Overall clean and modern. Local supers in a short walking distance. Host communicative, helpful, understanding. Would stay again. Lots of dogs in the neighborhood and they bark a lot sometimes.

Such an amazing oasis! Lori was such an amazing host. She walked us around the property and was always available. We woke up to howler monkeys and toucans. The home was clean and well equipped! Perfect for two couples! We will definitely be back to visit!

If you're looking for peace & quiet with a stellar view - look no further! The bed was comfy, the blankets were cozy, & it had everything needed for a relaxing getaway. Directions to find the place we're spot on. There's a small amount of gravel road that I needed to navigate but it was in good shape (4x4 wasn't necessary). If you're expecting hot & humid, this isn't your place. It's cool in the mornings & evenings but nothing a sweater can't handle. There's a super cozy fireplace that really allows you to settle in for some Netflix at the end of a busy day of tours or hiking. Very private - I only saw cars in the road but heard nothing but birds & nature. This place is exactly as described & so lovely. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Ricardo was a superb host - kind, generous, & hospitable. He made sure I had everything I needed. There's some great restaurants nearby & every morning Turrialba Volcano greets you in the distance.

Daryl was very kind and communicative, the Airbnb was very clean and organized, I liked that it is modern and provides plenty of amenities. I would definitely come back with my family. Thanks for everything. ❤️

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 kind and communicative. The beautiful place, a great view of the sea, very tidy, clean, very quiet, the beautiful nature.

We loved this place! It’s way better than the photos! The plants are beautiful! The pool is lovely and deep. We loved the space! Bathroom is great. We liked where it was downtown Dominical. Easily walkable. We highly recommend this spot! (Busy roads don’t bother us.)

You can never get enough of the view! Amazing place and surroundings. Totally recommend this place to stay. Friendly hosts! We loved our stay, we will definitely come back. It is very up on a hill so don’t expect to walk to town center Uvita, you will need a car (4x4 on rainy season). But the drive is totally worth it.

A very cozy, quiet, safe and clean place. When you enter the villa it smells very nice and is equipped with everything you need to have a good stay. We took advantage of the pool and the ranch to have a barbecue. When we needed help, they quickly solved it

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.

Good value, and helpful host. Would stay again

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

Great communication with Joe and his caretaker Yony, who is available and very helpful. It is an excellent rental choice for someone who wants to work and enjoy at the same time. Upon arrival, the fridge made a loud sound, and when asked, Joe immediately suggested I switch to another unit until he could fix the issue, which was perfect. During my one-month stay, I had a noise issue (a neighbor in a house nearby who was listening to loud music for one day), but Joe and Yony solved the problem immediately. I asked Yony several times about things, and he always helped me. Knowing Costa Rica for years, I value this quality of service and responsiveness much more than a better price or more amenities. This is why I highly recommend this rent, especially if you want to stay more than 1 or 2 nights.

excellent attention from Victor and Gabriela (I think that's what the girl was called) , super attentive to stay and comfort, excellent everything!

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.

This place is exactly as it looks and is described, which makes it a good Airbnb and good value (at the price as of April 2025 at least). Carles and his co-host communicate well and everything about the place is easy (easy to find, check-in, care for, etc). It isn't fancy but it is nice/well-built (small things like the shower water doesn't get all over the bathroom like with many similar shower setups) and comfortably arranged for 1-2 people with 2 desks for working etc. Would absolutely return. Downsides, if you want to know them: the immediate surrounding area is nothing special (it's in a nondescript small development), and there was quite a bit of noise in the morning, including starting at 5:30am on Saturday (this may be temporary/construction). It didn't interfere with my enjoyment, but it is good to know.

I really liked the accommodation, a lot of tranquility, many birds, and sounds of animals that transmit peace. We went with a 4x2 car and it was fine for being summer, if you don't know how to handle on ballast street if a 4x4 is needed or in winter if needed. The views are unbelievable. .
