Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Rivas

Very cozy place, quiet and incredible views

Great place, peaceful and comfortable. Very private and safe.

Incredible place with amazing nature surroundings. Just like the pictures there's lots to see and explore and Zuray is a great host!

I spent two most relaxing days in the loft. Perfect place for those who like being in the middle of nature. The cabin is an open structure with nets instead of windows. It is very well equipped, including a complete kitchen and an outdoor shower. For those who are addicted to A/C, there is none due to the open character of the loft, but 3 fans are more than enough to cool you down. Pablo, who takes care of the property, was most welcoming and nice, leading the way to the cabin and giving some good advice for things to do in the area. I would recommend going there at least in an SUV as the last 5 minutes of driving involve some steep and bumpy bits. My personal highlight was seeing a group of spider monkeys passing by directly in front of the terrace while having my morning coffee! I can only highly recommend this place!

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.

5 minutes from downtown, independent and simple access. The house is spacious and comfortable. With a private garage for your car. We liked it!

This was our 2nd stay at Casa Mar Y Selva and obviously we loved it enough to return in 3 months. It has an amazing view and wildlife is abundant. First day of our stay we literally didn't sit down much because we were up taking photos. We sat on the patio daily from 6am til sunset enjoying our surroundings, Relaxing and peaceful. Nicole is the TOPS when it comes to communicating and hosting. Always kind and friendly and shares with us local knowledge. Hope to return again soon. Thanks for everything.

We had a fantastic time at Carlos' home, which is airy and beautiful, spare and clean and close to so many amazing and beautiful spots of which we only scratched the surface. Carlos was a great communicator which was much appreciated. And the view is astounding.

We loved the place. Very comfortable for my family who were with children and pets. The access and the Riachuelo as such is very nice. And the kitchen with that view and beautiful outdoors. We loved sleeping with the sound of running water. Recommended We were recommended very good places to visit. This area has many places to know

It's a great place, just what I was looking for

This was a really nice property. Pool was amazing. Clean and gorgeous setting. Private oasis ! I loved this place. I am very active and walked or hiked 15-20k each day during my 2 week stay and didn’t have a car so I didn’t mind that it was a little bit off the beaten path and not near the city center. Weights, exercise bike, pool table were all nice to have. Air conditioning worked well. Did I mention the pool ? Laundry on site worked well, all amenities were as advertised, full kitchen, the outdoor barbecue area was really nice although I did not use it. Be sure to check out this small local “pub” near the Wal Mart and tell Eva that the Pepsi guy from Canada recommended it ! Bar y Restaurante Chicken Tempura

This was one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in. The property is incredible. Josh and Cheyenne were super helpful and responsive. Josh showed my kids the chicken coup and greeted us with fresh eggs. He also helped us change our flat which was much appreciated. The property is very clean, tastefully designed with an incredible view. Would highly recommend a four wheel drive and finding it is a bit tricky but Cheyenne guided us. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Amazing views. The outside deck and kitchen are great and make the home feel much larger. Rudy, the caretaker, is super responsive if you need anything. The road and driveway are intimidating the first time but get easier after a couple of trips up and down.

This home in the heart of the jungle is a real little jewel!! We spent 5 nights there and loved our experience. The location is ideal, not too far from Manuel Antonio, Dominical and very close to beautiful waterfalls. The pool area is really well appointed and is a big plus. We were also able to observe 2 toucans from our balcony while having our breakfast. Melissa and Said are very available and you feel at home.

The hostess is very friendly and communicative. A beautiful place, a great view of the sea, very tidy, clean, very quiet, beautiful nature.

An incredible stay, a very peaceful place and everything was very clean and tidy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this beautiful area, and staying in Osvaldo's cabin made it even more special. The views and privacy were appreciated. Everything we needed was provided, including space heaters and many blankets. It is quite chilly at that elevation! My husband is tall and had to be careful of his head upstairs. This area has many marvelous birds, including a family of Acorn Woodpeckers who live under the roof; now and then we heard them shuffling around above us at night. We had nice meals at Gema del Bosque and La Tapir. Miriam's Quetzals has good breakfast and coffee, and truly outstanding birdwatching on the back deck!

We loved the place. It is very well equipped and very nice. It is also in the very center of Santa Maria. The hosts gave clear instructions and responded quickly. We can't wait to come back for more days. The bus/lodging is inside a property where there is something else, which makes it safe and there is also privacy. Thank you!

nice quiet place, host responded quickly and kindly, place to rest, nice weather.

Costa Rica is more than just beaches & surfing. Ruben’s mountain cabin has beautiful views, a private “eco-spa” in the stream, and a swimming hole nearby, fruit trees, and birds of all kinds including Toucans. It’s a short walk to the market and bus stops, a 15 min trip to San Isidro by car or taxi, and a half-hour to Dominical. Days are hot and it gets cool at night, and it is always quiet, just the sounds of nature - reminds me of being at a cottage in Canada in summer.

It's a magical house...just right for relaxing and connecting with nature. We really enjoyed it. The fireplace area was what we enjoyed the most... we recommend it a thousand times over...

I cannot recommend this place highly enough! This is by far the most well-built and thoughtfully designed accommodation I have stayed in throughout Central America. Every detail speaks to quality—from the solid construction to the immaculate furniture and linens, which feel like new. Nelly is a truly exceptional host—warm, kind, and always willing to help. She not only ensures a comfortable stay but also goes above and beyond, offering assistance in connecting with local resources and even sharing avocados from her farm. The setting is breathtaking, with a pristine mountain stream flowing just behind the cottage. It’s the perfect place to unwind, surrounded by nature’s beauty. The small general stores for basic necessities are just a short walk away, making it convenient yet still wonderfully secluded. The wifi is strong and stable for remote workers. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat to restore yourself or a quiet, inspiring place to work, this is absolute paradise.

The place is great and they take care of every detail necessary for guests to have a great time!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Luis was a wonderful host. Very attentive and responsive, and had no problem answering our questions despite the language barrier. All the necessities were available, as well as extras we didn't expect. His family even gave us a small parting gift for each of my young children on our last day. The house is in a beautiful location; somewhat difficult to find at first through the winding mountain roads, but once we knew where it was it was nice to have such a private spot. The view is absolutely breathtaking. Having a morning coffee on the patio looking out over the valley was my favourite part of our trip!
