Family-friendly vacation rentals in San José Province

My friend and I really appreciated Ana Maria's hospitality and her family's gorgeous home. We loved the special personal touches including the jungle of house plants and well-stocked library with board games and books. Having the fireplace stocked with wood made it possible to have the perfect ambiance for reading in front of the fire on a misty afternoon! We found it helpful to have earplugs at night, as the home is close to a transit road, and earplugs did the trick to help us sleep soundly.

Very well located, close to the airport and still quiet, nice pool, with some options to eat 20 mins by walk from the place.

The property was beautiful and the views are incredible. Really enjoyed doing some yoga on the deck!

Really beautiful place to stay and so easy to get to. Martin and Lorena were both really great. Would love to come back and stay here again. Kids both loved the pool.

The whole place was great, we had enough space, could relax by the pool, cook and enjoy the time. We were able to easily spend two more nights there on request. Would recommend this to anyone.

it's a Great value in a good area , very safe with gates. easy to get to, and easy for Ubers to pick up..

A absolute privilege to spend a few days here as a family. A gem of a house that felt immediately like a home. We loved the quirks and the passion for enjoyment. Top of our price range but to us it was worth every penny. Thank you Tucker.

Another great stay at this apartment in Escazú! Everything was perfect, as always. The place is spotless, well located, and the hosts are incredibly responsive and helpful — super quick to reply and always ready to assist. Definitely a 5-star experience, highly recommended!

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!!

This place is absolutely incredible. My wife and I went for a long weekend for our 2nd anniversary and this bnb was the perfect location for just that. It’s secluded, peaceful, and the open air kitchen brings a fun jungle vibe to your stay. My favorite part of the house was the terrace and that beautiful view that comes with. AC in the bedrooms kept us nice and cool at night. And from reading other reviews I was a little worried about the drive up, but it’s not that bad get a 4X4 vehicle and send it! Big shout out to Loren for meeting us later than expected when we first arrived, that guy is a legend! The only recommendation I have is to stay as long as you possibly can!!!!

The gardens were a wonderfully peaceful respite. It was like taking a vacation while on vacation. The room was great, as described, and even had a dehumidifier available. The property is away from the city (we were able to Uber in and out of the city without too much issue - just a delay in finding a driver one night. We loved exploring and having our morning coffee in the gardens. We didn’t meet Phil, and we weren’t able to get a gate opener for our stay, but it worked out OK with two of us (one to drive the car and the other to get out and operate the gate).

The place is very nice and feels very peaceful, it is a cabin to go with family or friends as it is quite large and has everything

Very good value for money, the only thing I have to say is that the wifi was bad, the rest was all excellent. I highly recommend it!

We stayed for four days and had the most amazing time. I had tears in my eyes saying goodbye to Emerita. She and Diogenes were wonderful hosts who helped us with any questions and pointed out a baby sloth that we never would have seen without her pointing it out. It’s truly a magical place, Déborah. Thank you for your timely responses, accurate description, and recommendations. For those considering—know thyself! If you freak out over bugs, this isn’t the place for you. It’s Pura Vida. My son, daughter , and I loved everything! Morning Mother’s Day walk solo on the beach was perfection. We will return!!!!

Absolutely loved this place! We had a friend trip of 4 and this was perfect. Super secluded. It felt like a mico-White Lotus without the deaths. Charlie, the property manager, was super helpful and very responsive. I would 100% recommend this place. A gem!

Andrea was very gracious and hospitable to my family and I. The place is a typical Costa Rican home with great spaces for hanging out and enjoying time together. It is very close to Manual Antonio and all it has to offer.

You won't want to leave the spacious villa. The garden is full of plants and is frequently visited by wildlife. Katrin is super helpful. She surprised us with a fresh soursop when we couldn't find any in the store.

Peter and Rosa’s home is a little slice of paradise. I wanted a jungle house, and this one delivered. We saw many beautiful birds and iguanas, and our children adored the pool. The small neighborhood was safe and secure, and the torn of Dominical was colorful and friendly. Amazing experience.

The house is wonderful, spacious and with nice different areas to spend your time. Just as describe. Host are super communicative, we had a great time!!

Beautiful home and the property is gorgeous! Super friendly hosts and staff. I highly recommend

We absolutely loved our relaxing stay at this slice of Costa Rican paradise. The jungle sounds, manicured gardens, jungle trails and the view of the ocean below were spectacular. Probably our favourite part was the daily visits by a family of howler monkeys. We already plan to return.

Carlos and Val were great hosts! They had so many great recommendations for food and activities and helped with transportation. The place was beautiful as depicted in the pictures too. Very responsive if you needed to reach them.

Everything was perfect! The location and the house all met our expectations. Danny & the team were always kind and approachable. When we found that wasps were building a nest at the house, the team was there within an hour and the issue was resolved immediately. The pool was clean and in the best condition. We had the best vacation and would be happy to come back!

Great place to stay!!! As a first time international solo traveler, I felt extremely safe and comfortable. I arrived at almost midnight, and Mel (on site concierge) was waiting to ensure I made it. I saw an agouti, monkeys, and a coati all on property. I even spent time with Mellow (the cat 😻). Host was extremely responsive and helpful throughout my entire experience. Shops and food within walking distance and parking for your car. Would highly recommend and hopefully will be returning in the future!! Pura Vida!! ☀️
