Family-friendly vacation rentals in San Isidro de El General

WOW sums it up! Our family was just blown away with the villa and the beautiful view. We are a family of 17......9 grandkids, parents and Grammy/ Gramps. The place was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. Stephen was there to show us around and the ladies had cold drinks for us on arrival. I really can't say enough about the place. Yesenia and Yeneri made a beautiful tasty breakfast for us each morning. 4 of us are celiacs and they were very careful to provide us with what we could eat. Esteban was wonderful and was around to help with anything we needed. He showed us different things around the property, turned on the hot tub when needed and took us on a hike to the waterfall and river. He was great with the kids showing them butterflies and such and played toucan sounds on the stereo to attract the toucans. Sophia and Caleb did great jobs as well The rooms were perfect with amazing views and the garden house was great. Thanks from all of us......amazing memories!❤️

A stunning house in the perfect location! This was a great spot from which to explore this part of the coast. As other reviewers have said, the drive to the property is steep but paved, and there is a long set of stairs from the parking spot to the house. The house is beautifully decorated and has all of the appliances you'll need. The property manager was available when we needed him and gave us great recommendations to local restaurants. We'd stay here again!

Beautiful tree house cabin. Stunning view and comfortable beds. Loved spending time and eating dinner on the deck. Also tons of amazing wildlife, there were 2 toucans that visited us everyday. Definitely would recommend this place! :)

11 out of 10 - There is nothing I can add that hasn’t already been covered in every review. But I do want to acknowledge the on-site caretaker, Licho, who, along with his wife, Darling, were some of the warmest, friendliest, and hospitable people you will meet anywhere. And I will say that this property was one of the highlights of my family’s week in CR. We hope to come back again in the near future. Thank you, Nicolas, for making your villa available!

My sister and I stayed here for 3 nights and we were very pleased with the place!!! It is up a mountain and away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to Uvita and everything you need! It feels like your own little piece of paradise surrounded by wild life and lots of beautiful plants. We saw a monkey in the tree upon arrival. The river is so close that you can hear it and it’s super peaceful!! Very beautiful water falls near by, the national park, and the beach!!! I will say I don’t know if we would’ve made it up the mountain and to the resort without a 4x4! Also, I must note that the upstairs and downstairs unit are separate. The bedroom is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs. So, if you’re like me and have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night you do have to go outside and downstairs to use the bathroom!!! But it was really no problem. Incredible place for the price! Highly recommend 😌

This property is truly amazing. The house and pool and landscaping are all stunning, and the views cannot be beaten. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Dominical beach is about a 7-8 minute drive. The service from Esteban and Oscar and the others was first-class.

Not only is Steve a super host but so is his caretaker Miguel. Warm smile accommodating and a great human. We saw him in town and he directed is to a better beach. Which turned out to be my favorite in the world. Have stretch of sand. Warm water. Free. Serene ocean meets the jungle for as far as the eye can see If you like swimming in a rushing river, a quick hike through the jungle, lagoon, pool, beautiful landscape etc. I could go on but I'm sure I couldn't do it justice. Love this spot and would recommend to anyone

Despite the rains, the family had a wonderful time at the home. On the last day the rains finally cleared and the view was absolutely stunning. A 4x4 is an absolute must!

My wife, son and I stayed 4 nights in this lovely hill top home. The serenity, wild life, views and hikes were stunning. We stayed off season in August and the variety of weather and thus the moods was enchanting. The rain clouds and sun playing patterns across the sheep covered hillsides reminded us of New Zealand or Europe. The mornings could be chilly but sleeping was warm and cozy with adequate blankets. Most everything you would need was supplied and though it seemed we were 100 miles away, the local town was close and a larger town was only a 30 minute drive. Restaurants, fruits and supplies were within reach. The local caretakers Maria and Josè were very friendly, spoke enough english and were extremely responsive/helpful. I highly recommend this stay if a rural, remote, peaceful, quiet setting interests you. We hope to return for a longer stay in the near future.

An excellent choice in Pérez Zeledón to rest!

This location is outstanding! Our family had a wonderful time enjoying the property, the local hotel, and local wildlife!! We hope to be back! Thank you to Indra for your hospitality.

April and her place are AMAZING. We had the best experience in her jungalow. April helped us a lot preparing our stay and during the stay itself. She was VERY accommodating with our every request. She cooked tasty vegetarian meals every night for us and made sure she would let us know when jungle animals (monkeys, birds etc...) could be spotted around the property. We stayed 4 nights with two boys age 3 and 5 and they loved it too. Top place and host for whoever wants something off the beaten path, authentic and comfortable. The trail to get there is a little rough with steep parts but we thought it added to the charm of the place bringing additional “adventure” feel the the experience.

Great location walkable to the beach or restaurants. Place is in it's own little private area and you don't notice the neighbors.

We can 100% recommend this apartment. We stayed for one week and felt like home. It was spacious, the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the area was calm during the night. There are several supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The only thing we did not like were the holes in the mosquito nets on all windows and on the balcony door. Cats and the dog on the property are super lovely. Pool is also a big plus. Thanks to Ismark!

This house is private and away from any crowds, yet a short drive to a large US style grocery store. The walk to the beach is so close you can hear the waves crashing at night in your bed. We woke up to Macaws, monkeys, parrots, iguanas, leaf cutter ants and many birds! We traveled with our children ages 14, 15 and 25. Our daughter walked to the private beach for yoga in the morning and the boys loved the pool, beach, hammock, and life-sized chess. My husband and I enjoyed coffee out back in the morning when the wildlife was ALIVE with sights and sounds of the true Costa Rica! Having space for our family to relax yet retreat to their own bedrooms for an afternoon siesta was perfect. The air-conditioning was very efficient and kept the house cool. The house was gated and secure with personnel on-site. Fatima and her family are the true gem of the home. Having her to help with questions was imperative and just an absolute treat. This home is a genuine home in Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

We wanted to share our great experience of our 30 days stay at el canto with our host Ana Maria. Right from the start she was very helpfull, not to mention the support she gave us while we were in the premises. She showed us the nice places to visits ( waterfall, hikes,), the happening in the village ( pizza day, crepes day at the soda, the rodeo… ect), we met lovely people that support the place, we even got local food made up for us, so convenient! We toured the finca and the amazing el encanto waterfall hike (we’ve done it 7 times with the kids and they loved it every time). The place is beautiful and very cozy. You feel home right away. The pool is amazing and well taken care of. We were 7 and had enough room for everyone. Strongly recommend this hostess. Pura vida Ana Maria and the group for this lovely stay !

We didn't want this vacation to end! This place was so beautiful and quiet. The pool, bar and outdoor kitchen were perfect. So well designed. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking the grounds and picking up fresh mangoes, coconuts, limes, starfruit and bananas. The wonderful scent of the ylang ylang trees was everywhere. Absolutely amazing. The house was spacious and we loved the doors of every room and the beautiful arched windows. Great architecture! The towels smelt fresh and were of great quality. The welcome book was truly helpful. Any question we had - the answer was in there. Very well done! One week was just not enough.

Great place and great host. We were able to see more wildlife here than at the local parks and from a safe undisturbing distance.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The landscaping and scenery were beautiful. Jeff and Nando were friendly and so helpful with great suggestions for activities and restaurants. We used the pool daily and sometimes at night. It was so refreshing after the heat of the day. The 3 building concept was unique and very liveable.

Dawn’s house is beautifully located and is beautifully designed. We rented a decent car and really did not find the road up problematic at all. Jairo met us to guide us up which was really great. It is really close to all the amenities in town but not in the town -so it is really extremely peaceful, beautiful and private. We unfortunately contracted Dengue before getting to Uvita and so all of our time there was spent being pretty unwell and eventually hospitalized. Because of this we really felt that we missed out on enjoying the house and the beautiful location the restaurants the beaches etc to the fullest. Dawn was a lovely hostess who provided all the needed information and was extremely helpful, proactive and responsive. Thank you for having us!

Absolutely love this location and house. The pool is epic too and we loved the thunder and lightning storms. We had an amazing experience here and even extended our stay to spend more time in the mountains. Louey and Jessica are incredibly responsive and helpful with everything too.

The house is beautiful. The pool was amazing. The location was very private. We didn’t use our four wheel drive, but you definitely need high clearance. You have to remember you’re in the middle of the jungle, big bugs, geckos, iguanas, bats & lots of different noises. The views are stunning. I felt very safe. I would rent this house again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Blue Shack. It was perfect and we wouldn’t change a thing. Dominical is such a cute beach town and we were located right near all the good food and shops. The kids loved the pool. Steve was very helpful and easy to work with. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to stay in Dominical or the central Pacific area.
