Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cartago

Great house lots of space, loved the pool and jacuzzi. Thanks!

We loved our stay at this Airbnb in Alajuela, Costa Rica. From the first moment we felt very welcome. The place is comfortable, clean, and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. The location is perfect, close to the airport but in a quiet area, ideal for resting. In addition, the host was incredibly kind and attentive, always available to help us with any questions or recommendations. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to other travelers.

amazing place with beautiful views including toucans in the mornings and monkeys right down the street! very spacious and i honestly felt right at home. the host helped me by getting a birthday cake for one of my guests and helped us get home when the road was closed. they were a saving grace and made our stay worth it. thank you guys for everything!

I look to come back,we loved the place and all that was offered. The pictures really don't give the beauty of this place VERY VERY VERY OUTSTANDING I WILL BE BACK

Thank you for your attention. The place was perfect for my family, we had a great time.

This is my 3rd visit. It was convenient to be able to walk to the plaza across from the accommodation, the house was neat and tidy, and the host's active and quick communication stood out. I would like to express my gratitude to him for being so kind and grateful, and I will visit again in September! See you soon!

My fiancé and I absolutely LOVED our stay at the Tarzan Jungle Home! It was by far our favorite place we stayed on our trip to Costa Rica, and we even ended up extending our stay there. It is such a cool space and you can tell they have put a lot of time and effort in the property and it’s surroundings. The zipline and water slide were great additions and definitely made us feel like it was worth every penny spent. Also, the property manager Marlyn is amazing and so very helpful and responsive, as is the host Paul👍🏼 We would 10 out of 10 recommend and stay here again on our next trip!

We enjoyed staying at Cat’s and Yolanda’s home. Even though there is shared common areas, we felt very comfortable and private. Afternoon swims in the pool and lounging in the hot tub was relaxing. Quiet mornings in the upper deck were peaceful and you could hang out and enjoy the gorgeous valley view. We are fairly active so walks into town were very doable. Atenas has a good mix of tourists and locals and is a friendly town.

We kicked off our honeymoon in Costa Rica at Axel's place for 4-nights. When we arrived, it was the evening so it was dark out. The following morning we were totally blown away by the beauty of this lovely farm! Gorgeous green trees, flowers, monsteras, & mountains are surrounding you. The view is spectacular (even when it is raining or cloudy). The house has hammocks to relax in, a kitchen equipped with everything you need to make a delicious meal, a very comfy bed, and views to die for! Toucan-spotting over coffee in the morning was a highlight. Axel was not only a great host but a lovely person to chat with! If you are looking for a more remote Costa Rican experience, this is the place for you. Highly recommend and are definitely planning to come back to this wonderful place! Thanks again Axel!!

Our stay was great. The house was great too and as described. It’s in a quiet area with a gate it’s close to the airport and not far from San Jose. Carolina was a wonderful host providing recommendations for my family and I. I would recommend this location to anyone.

A beautiful place, super well-kept gardens, very nice service

This is a nice place to stay. You have restaurants all around you and stores and the mall about 20 -30 minutes up the street if you walk. Uber is always available.

Great mountain cabin at about 2700 m in scenic surroundings. In the immediate vicinity of the hike to the Turrialba volcano. Costa Rica is very different, i.e. it needs a fleece jacket in the evening when it cools down to just under 10 degrees. For this you can then sit in the living room by the fire in front of an open fireplace. We felt very comfortable!

I enjoyed my month stay at Unity. Charlotte and Santiago are amazing at ensuring a comfortable stay. The location is excellent.. close to the University and shops and restaurants. Really enjoyed the Sunday farmers market 5 blocks away. I enjoyed feeling part of the city. I specifically came for enhancing my yoga practice. The location is near many yoga facilities. The inhouse yoga studio was a selling feature for me. I daily used the room. I enjoyed the unique back yard regenerative garden. The sustainability ethos was important to me. I used many of the common space to hang out/work/relax. Unity is unique. You can participate and even lead events (I enjoyed hosting/helping in Karoke-pizza night as well as a Tropical Happy Hour night events), OR stay to yourself. Incredibly enjoyed my stay.. looking forward to returning again.

Maricel is a great host! She’s very responsive and accommodated our needs. We enjoyed our visit in her home & appreciate her & her family. The home is conveniently located in walking distance to sodas, restaurants, groceries, a nearby shopping mall, etc. and it’s a short drive to & from the airport. We felt safe due to the security gate, since it’s an active area. We also enjoyed relaxing/breakfast on the front patio/porch. We would have preferred brighter lighting or natural sun light throughout the inside of the home, instead of the more dim/darker lighting but it served our short term purposes and seemed to fit the home’s unique decor.

A wonderful place with a lot of peace

The apartment is too nice an impressive view, neat with utensils easy to access to maintain cleanliness, super complete the kitchen has all the comforts for the preparation of food and a great variety of utensils and very spacious the living and dining room are fair to share with freedom of space, last and very important don Miguel's attention is very accurate, timely and very cordial, provides clear directions and responds in short waiting times. Without hesitation, I would recommend the price is fair and the place is very nice. One particularity is that in the condo people in general are very respectful and friendly.

Toucan Tranquility, its pool and patio areas are beautiful. We did not miss a/c. We enjoyed lovely breezes through the patio and at night, it was a great temperature as the location is at a bit higher than Atenas. There is very good privacy - the hosts were at home in the upper level, but their space and entrance to the upper level is entirely separate - they even have a separate gate from the street. It was wonderful to be surrounded by trees, lush greenery and flowers. The beds were comfortable and there were many conveniences such as racks for our suitcases and comfortable furniture. The outdoor kitchen was a new experience for us. It made it possible for us to bake a chicken and a cake. The location was quite peaceful - away from the bustle of Atenas. Cher was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. She shared some recommendations and is the source of a wealth of information. Thank you for a lovely stay.

An extremely safe, super comfortable, central, clean place. My family and I enjoyed it very much, and I recommend it

This is a great family rental. We came for a 5 day stay to celebrate my sister's 60th birthday, explore Costa Rica's nature resources and enjoy time as a family. All 6 of us enjoyed our stay and loved the property! The house is quite rustic but well suited for a family who wants to spend a lot of time outdoors. The outdoor kitchen, dining area and BBQ are a wonderful extension of the house. We made most of our meals. The pool was very clean and maintained and included an outdoor shower and foot rinse area. The ocean was wonderful to swim in and the beach very private with few people on it. Andres and Olga made us feel very welcome. He served us with coconuts in the pool on our first afternoon and had area restaurant recommendations for us. We later purchased a large pitcher of coconut water from him that was absolutely delicious. And it was so fun to watch the collection process! In addition, Andres let us know when the spider monkeys came on the property which delighted us!

Everything was very neat, clean, comfortable, easy access, very happy, very grateful.

Super cute place with an amazing view of Costa Rica mountains. Very private. I enjoyed my stay and would go back.

My sister and I had a very enjoyable stay. We found the house very comfortable and loved the ability to walk to Savana Park as well as local restaurants and cafes. The neighborhood felt very safe. Conveniently located near a market where we got groceries. This was the second time I stayed at Christian's apartment and I would do so again!

Spent two nights at this lovely air bnb. We ordered breakfast for our second morning there and it was lovely! The space is as described - it’s not fancy, but it was comfortable and clean. My kids loved the pool!
