House vacation rentals in Playa Pavones

My family and I LOVED our stay at this beautiful oasis on the mountain. It had been years since my husband and I had stayed at Pavones.... and this was the perfect way to come revisit the town and show its beauty to our two boys (10 and 13). A short drive to the beach for some surf and evenings poolside watching the sunset and coming storms. We would def stay here again. Clean, comfy, great hosts.

We enjoyed Rodolfo and Inka very much. In the heat, the communal pool was an absolute highlight. Rudolfo always answered all our questions and was a very courteous host. If you are looking for absolute peace, however, you may be bothered by the quite noisy neighborhood. But it was absolutely okay for us and we would come back any time.

Our stay at Rey and Stephanie’s (hosted by Naomi) was fantastic. We so enjoyed all the incredible wildlife visiting the property each morning- Iguanas, Tucans, squirrel monkeys etc. The house is very comfortable for a group of 6 with all the amenities in the kitchen and house that you could need. The pool is perfect and the outdoor shower is a beautiful touch. Naomi took us on an awesome tubing tour down rio claro and also provides many options for activities in Pavones, which is handy. Rey was an incredibly helpful host and really took care of us and made us feel at home on his property. Thanks for everything and we hope to be back soon!

My wife grew up in Matapalo so we were looking for the full jungle experience but still be comfortable. Our place was up on the hill with a big grass yard but we were still surrounded by nature. The cleaners came in the middle of our stay & provided fresh bedding & towels. This place exceeded our expectations and we would love to come back!

Perfect jungle retreat. Adorable cabinas. Amazing pool. All in the heart of the most beautiful jungle. Minutes to some of the best surfing in the world. You can't go wrong with this place.

This casita was the perfect spot to relax and unwind! The pool was awesome, gorgeous views and incredible star gazing (and thunderstorms!). Great recommendations by Rolando for the nearby beach 🏖️ that was splendid and with parrots 🦜 and scarlet macaws. A great spot, highly recommend.

Carlos is an attentive host with a beautiful property! We went on a couples trip and it was perfect to have completely separate bedrooms and bathrooms with a shared patio and kitchen. The pool was immaculate and the yard was full of hummingbirds and other wildlife to watch. Perfect home base for all of the tours we did and also close to the grocery store. Cannot recommend this little slice of paradise enough; we will definitely be visiting again!

We enjoyed our stay. It was a great setup for our visit and we look forward to using this location again!

Elise’s home was lovely and new! You can tell she cares a lot about her home and her guests in both her kind responses and by the little things - filtered water, plenty of hooks to hang items, fully stocked kitchen , even spices! She and her property manager Meredith were so helpful and generous, they responded timely whenever we had any questions. It’s close to the beach and I will definitely try to stay here every time we visit Pavones!

fantastic small house with tranquil and almost abandoned beach at the end of the Costa Rica, just friendly reminder, if you’re not renting the whole house owner is staying downstairs, which was not problem at all

This was an amazing stay!! The house had the most amazing views, tons of space, great kitchen. We felt right at home. The area is gorgeous. It really feels like one of the last undeveloped places on earth. Dirt roads and lots of nature right at the front door! We had a pair of toucans and a pair of Scarlet Mccaws keeping us company. The moneys stopped by to pick bananas, and we had an iguana keeping un company at the pool. It is a really special place! The bedrooms were super comfortable and very well cooled so we slept great. All the recommendations for excursions (deep sea fishing, nature hikes, horseback riding etc.) were all amazing! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I went with my mother, husband and son. The house looked just like the sample photos, located very close to the Golfito warehouse, and close to amenities such as a supermarket, restaurants, etc. Very well equipped and the service provided left us very satisfied. I would definitely come back in the future 👍🏻

Amazing place and Don Marvin was splendid he went above and and beyond.

Thank you Meredith for allowed us to stay in your house, We appreciate your hospitality :)

It's a nice and quiet place to enjoy as a family. Doña Rosa is kind and respectful, always ready to help with information. I would definitely visit again.

Love this place! Super close to the river mouth and beach, local markets, and activities. Neighbors are super friendly, house is spacious and well designed, and the immersion in the jungle is unbeatable. The house is surrounded by macaws, toucans, and beautiful butterflies. You can hear howling monkeys in the distance, and can watch as a strong colony of leaf cutter ants work tirelessly (be mindful, don’t step on them!). Karla was a wonderful host and connected me with so many people to make my stay so memorable. Definitely recommend for families and groups, for people with dogs who need space to run anround, and surfers. Don’t forget to check out the pizza oven out back too!

House is in a great location. Just a short walk from the beach and easy access to the main peak. Very traditional tico style house.

We loved staying again! The location is perfect for us - both on the beautiful beach, and near the point. The house is set up just right to enjoy with friends with large gathering spaces, and still have some space of your own. We appreciate the care taken before arrival - the house is spotless, and has a homey feel with coffee and staples to get you started. Thank you for another terrific extended stay! We'll see you again!

I cannot express what a wonderful experience we had at Casa Atrevida. Somehow the home was even more beautiful in person. Pascal arranged any activity we wanted. The location is secluded and peaceful. The caretaker Carlos was so kind and since this was our first trip to Costa Rica, it was very comforting for us to have him there if we needed anything. The chef Chon cooked amazing meals and was very accommodating. The housekeeper Jackie kept everything spotless. The beach is amazing and so secluded (the beach is at the end of the driveway). We only saw a few people over our 6 day stay. We did several great nature tours in the area but saw more animals at the house than anywhere. We could not have asked for a more amazing stay. The sunrises on the beach, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, capuchins and countless birds and flowers. For us Casa Atrevida truly was paradise.

Perfect place and I echo some of the positive reviews below. Extremely resourceful hosts and great spot.

We really enjoyed the days at Keyla's. The place is absolutely perfect for a stay in Puerto Jiménez. Somewhat off the main road and within walking distance to all the important places and restaurants. The washing machine in the accommodation is a blessing, especially after a trip to the Corcovado NP. Thank You!

We only stayed for one night since we were there for the tour in Corcovado. However the place had everything we needed and was a comfortable.

If you want to be immersed in nature, in a beautiful setting, enjoying the sound of the ocean and watching the monkeys then this is the place for you. The architecture of the home is stunning. The home is all open, no screens or doors. The netting over the beds were greatly appreciated. The grounds are beautiful and well taken care of. Joel, the property manager was excellent. Communication with Joel was very good, he was friendly and was able to make recommendations for us. Joel took us to the waterfall that was a 20 minute walk from the property. We were there during the rainy season, which we were prepared for; we brought games, books and flashlights. We will definitely return!

This place has an amazing view, we enjoyed it a lot. It is close to Pavones, good stay for surfing.
