Farmstay vacation rentals in San Carlos

La vue du balcon est tout simplement magnifique. Toutes les commoditiés y sont et la propreté est irréprochable. C'était notre deuxième séjour là bas, la cuisine est nouvellement rénovée et géniale. Vraiment nous n'hésiterons pas à y retourner, la famille Silvio's a vraiment à coeur le bien de ses clients, vraiment la Casa Del Sol est extraordinaire!

This is a farm stay in a lovely, well-equipped large 4 bedroom house. The early morning work trucks woke us up, followed by the howler monkeys around 5:30 am every day. The neighbors in the close-knit community are either family or friends. They were quite helpful to us, especially Chofo, the gardener. The small, nearby town, Venecia has everything you could possibly need. Our favorite restaurants were Las Machas out of Río Cuarto and El Picador Smokehouse on the way to Aguas Zarcas. We visited 3 National Parks: Arenal, Juan Castro Blanco, and Braulio Carrillo. Don’t miss the blue pools at Río Agrio Falls and Cascada Pozo Azul. They are less expensive than others in the area and wonderful places to visit. The house (kitchen) is well-stocked, but, more importantly, Isabel is probably the best hostess we have ever had in 15 years on Airbnb. We felt accepted and totally welcomed.

The AirBnb was amazing. A really authentic experience in the Rain Forrest. Local birds greeting you at sunrise and sundown. The Pin on the map provided took us to a different location and the host had to send me an updated pin. 10 minutes and were back on track. Would recommend people stay here!

Wir waren als Paar in der Unterkunft von David. Es ist ein sehr privates Gelände mit zwei separaten Häusern. Ein Auto sollte definitiv vorhanden sein. Der Blick durch die Glasfassade oder auch vom Balkon aus auf den Vulkan sind faszinierend. Der Balkon ist sehr einladend, um ein kühles Getränk zu genießen oder Yoga zu machen - tolle Kulisse! In der Umgebung gibt es auch Restaurants, wobei ich hier empfehlen würde nach La Fortuna zu fahren (ca 20-30mim Fahrtzeit). Die Kommunikation mit David war einwandfrei, schnell und freundlich. Mögliche Aktivitäten für aktive Personen in einem Umgebung von ca 60km: Hanging Bridges, Cavernas de Venado, Rio Celeste, Mirador El Silencio.

Jason’s place was amazing! It was a beautiful location with a beautiful view of Arenal. Close drive to downtown. Jason was an amazing host, very responsive. We booked a couples massage through Jason and it was the best massage we’ve both ever had. The place was very clean, it was perfect for us. If you’re thinking about booking this place, do it! I promise you won’t regret it! It was everything we were looking for and more! Thank you so much Jason for the amazing stay!

This place is an absolute gem and Beth is a wonderful, warm and friendly host. We stayed as a family of 4, with two kids (7 and 9). The house is set out over 3 levels (4 if you include the laundry room), with balconies on each level looking out over incredible views. On the first morning we woke up there was even a rainbow over the valley - it's almost like Beth organised it for us. The house was private, clean and had all the amenities we needed (including strong wifi). Monteverde as a location is lovely and we enjoyed the Cloud Forest, zip lining and Don Juan coffee, Chocolate and sugarcane tour. We also had an adventurous night jungle tour courtesy of Juan Ramon (recommended and organised via Beth) where we saw a range of great wildlife. Beth is an incredible host, welcoming us with fresh fruit, freshly baked banana bread and fresh ground coffee grown in the garden. Beth was brilliant with the kids, who were entranced by the garden and chicken tour. A truly brilliant stay.

We had such an amazing stay with David and family. They were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The cabin was just the right balance of rustic and comfortable. It’s just off the road, but you feel like you are far away in jungle paradise. David was very attentive and had lots of great recommendations. We can’t wait to come back!

We were a group of 10- 4 adults and 6 kids staying here for 4 nights. What a lovely home and incredible stay. Peaceful surroundings, easy to store/restaurants and town, incredible property with more than enough room. The outdoor living space was a wonderful place to unwind while the kids played in the pool or played games at the main table. Jordy helped check in as well as arrange for various activities like zip lining, hanging bridges. Joaquin takes incredible pride in the grounds work- as he should. It's impeccable. He took the kids on a tour of the grounds one morning and fed us fresh coconut, mango, and magical fruits that turned limes sweet- the kids were obsessed! We had Yadi cook dinner one night, amazing authentic typical food and there was more than enough for leftovers. Which they cleaned up and stored for us as well. Fully functional kitchen, plenty of space for the kids to bunk up or have their own rooms. Easy access to all excursions! Highly recommend! Pura Vida!

My husband and I stayed at Maria's place for our honeymoon and everything was fantastic. The room was fully equipped and comfortable and the hot tub was a huge bonus. Maria served us breakfast from the restaurant on the property and she made sure we were fully taken care of. The location was beautiful and we enjoyed our time there. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Me encantó el lugar, da mucha tranquilidad el estar en un campo abierto, deben tener en cuenta que la casa es un concepto abierto para disfrutar más de los animales y vista al paisaje maravilloso. Un lugar muy rústico que se puede prestar para muchas actividades en familia o en pareja.✌🏽

ENCHANTING. We have stayed at many great air bnbs and this one takes the cake. Tucked away in the mountains, gorgeous landscape with breathtaking views. I will absolutely take the memories shared here with my family for the rest of my life. Nelson was so helpful and communicative. Waking up to the animals grazing and the cutest little pup made it all the more amazing.

Absolutely loved out stay at Volcano View! So beautiful! The hot tub and hammock took it to the next level. Thank you for the stay and quick calls for help. ❤️❤️

The casita is located on the grounds of a beautiful hotel with hot springs and a small farm. It was wonderful to have access to the resort amenities and the included breakfast. The hotel staff were lovely!

Just the perfect place for the perfect holidays 😊

A truly unforgettable stay in La Fortuna! This property is everything you could hope for when visiting Costa Rica’s adventure capital. Nestled in the La FORTUNA Adventure area with jaw-dropping views of Arenal Volcano, the setting alone is worth five stars. But it doesn’t stop there—the home itself is modern, beautifully furnished, and designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The location is ideal—peaceful and private, yet just a short drive to waterfalls, hot springs, zip-lining, and the town of La Fortuna. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, offering personalized recommendations and local tips that really elevated the experience.

Where to begin...a beautiful location outside of the thick tourist zone of La Fortuna. The views and surroundings were breathtaking. Only about a 10-minute drive into the center of La Fortuna with great dining options. The house was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Agustin was responsive and very friendly. Highly recommend this stay for you and your family! Would also be very private and romantic for a couple.

The view over the lake arenal is just phenomenal! The house has a huge garden with some fruits, herbs & vegetables wich we were allowed to eat. We can for sure recommend.

This Airbnb was in a great location! Several restaurants within walking distance and we loved the El Salto Rope Swing which was only a 6 min walk. We were also very close to the downtown, still had to drive but it wasn't bad. There is plenty to do around the area. Most of the springs are within a 25 min drive. The house itself was very nice. We felt safe and the pool felt amazing after a long day of exploring. I would definitely recommend this house.

Magnifique emplacement très tranquille et sécuritaire ! Oscar était un hôte incroyable et était très réactif quand nous avions des questions. La villa est sur un ranch familial donc beaucoup d’animaux, la vue était à couper le souffle ! J’y retournerais sans hésiter !

This is a very nice, secure, spacious, family home in a local Costa Rican town. All the locals are extremely friendly, and the surrounding nature was breathtaking. We woke up every morning to see a beautiful white horse in the backyard, hummingbirds galore, and there was even a sloth family that lived in the trees above the playground down the street. Andrea is a fabulous host, who really cares about your stay, and checks in daily. We did a pineapple tour, visited the butterfly gardens, relaxed in thermal springs, and of course saw the volcano Arenal. There is so much to do nearby. We would rebook this place in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.

Of all the Airbnbs I’ve stayed at, and there were 4 just in CR, this one is my favorite. I got out of the car and was left speechless. This is the most beautiful, special property I could imagine. A birders paradise, especially with the Montezuma’s hanging nests filling the tree in the yard. We hiked along the trail that runs next to the house, through the creek on the property, and were close enough to the activities in the area (selvatura, curi cancha, and 100% aventura. This place is stunning and will stay with me for a long time. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing. we saw the howler monkeys in the trees above, humming birds, and blue jean frogs, brown frogs. cute poison dart frog, turkey vulture, red necked goan bird and one very large spider. No real issues with bugs. the open plan nature of the communal area does mean some cicada and grass hoppers can come in, as well as small geckos and beetles. The pool is amazing. The stream out back attracts the birds and does some provide natural white noise. Next door has some friendly dogs and a small goat that visited. Finca de Educativa, chocolate tour is just next door and has a great buffet sometimes available. The river essence spa is close by and provides very good value massage. It is a short and easy drive into town for the supermakets and Friday farmer's market The communal area is huge and could easily accommodate many more than our small group. The host is very responsive and the onsite maintenance guy sorted out any small issues quickly.

We had a fantastic stay at the property. It was beautifully kept, clean, and in a peaceful location outside of the main town. The hosts were very communicative and helpful, making our whole stay very easy. Would highly recommend staying here!

The house could use a little TLC, some things didn’t work like the ice maker, speaker and dryer. Which didn’t bother us but if you’re a little pickier it may have been an issue. The pool was lovely and Danny the caretaker was on the ball! The village is small and quiet about an hour from tourist areas which I absolutely loved!
