Vacation rentals in San Carlos

What an amazing experience at GAR! The rescue and the surrounding area are truly beautiful and it's cooler than the beaches! Luis, Mailyn, Ronald and Jose take such great care of the animals and property! There's so much to do: horse back riding, ATVs, hikes, and interacting with the animals that are clearly happy to be there. The sunsets seen from the rescue are truly spectacular. Just a short drive from the property are hot springs, waterfalls, rain forests, sloth viewing tours, and a national park with amazing hikes and views. The small town of Guayabo offers groceries, a great restaurants and even a swim up bar! For offsite activities we recommend a local tour guide, Dediere Cascante! He speaks English quite well and is one friendly and knowledgeable local, long attached to GAR. The villas are clean, spacious, and well appointed. Do not hesitate to book some time at GAR -it will forever be in our hearts! We even managed to adopt one of the puppies and bring her home!

Bertha and Kamal hooked me up with a local guide who helped me throughout the week. The house was nicely appointed, very clean and everything worked. Linens were of good quality. AC was good. Kitchen well equipped. The location is fantastic if you like the lush tropical rainforest vibe with lots of wildlife. Saw sloths, monkeys, Toucans a variety of birds and even an armadillo.. Proximity to Tenorio and Miravalles National Parks is excellent. Bijagua is a nice town and you get a feel for the real Costa Rica. I plan to return.

Kevin and Liz were wonderful hosts, we felt right at home and the kids LOVED their sweet doggos! Kevin's recommendation to a nearby hot spring park was one of our best days in Costa Rica. We had dinner at the neighbours and the food was wonderful. The daily coffee/breakfast was delicious. Felt like an authentic Costa Rican experience!

Angelica is so kind and provided great recommendations to make our trip memorable. Her hospitality is above and beyond. The place is quaint and relaxing. Her land is so tranquil, the perfect end to our trip before heading to the airport.

Beautiful place to stay. Clean, kid friendly, responsive host. Comfortable beds. Would stay again.

The Blue House is truly a magical place with its beautiful gardens and the river in the backyard is a very special feature. We saw lots of butterflies, poisonous frogs, a whole family of monkeys and a toucan, right there in the yard. It is well situated, in a very calm area but at the same time just a couple minutes from numerous activities and restaurants. The house itself is a bit small and the kitchen is minimalistic but everything is super clean and in perfect order. Anyway we passed the majority of our time outside. Anisa is an exceptionally nice person and a super well organized host. Everything is labeled and information is shared in advanced with efficiency. Anisa was also a great help for organizing activities and she made good restaurant recommandations. She answers very quickly and information is crystal clear. thanks you again Anisa! We enjoyed our stay a lot and I recommend a 100%!

We really enjoyed our stay at Cristian's place. It was quiet and a very safe surrounding. Also. we saw a lot of animals (mostly birds) during our stay. Would recommend to anybody.

Wonderful stay, as advertised. Beautiful view, private trail to Rio Celeste, cozy little cabin. What more could you need?

Such a cute Airbnb! Clean, modern, cozy. The view is beautiful & close to Rio Celeste. Host is very responsive. Would stay here again!
