Digital Nomad Paradise Sleeps 8 Pool & Guesthouse - Houses for Rent in Atenas, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica

We absolutely loved our stay with Tania! We’ve stayed in a dozen homes in Costa Rica, and this is the first one that truly doesn’t need AC. There are windows and doors everywhere, and the air flows through very nicely. But, if you need them, there are ACs everywhere. There’s so much space, especially with the casita, and the house is 3 minutes to central Atenas which we loved. Highly recommend staying here!!

Nice and spacious house close to restaurants and supermarkets. Quiet neighborhood.
The kitchen was pretty equipped which facilitated cooking.
The pool stayed pretty cold even though it was sunny during our entire stay and we were counting with the solar heating system, but other than we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for choosing to spend your Holiday here in Atenas! Best wishes for the New Year!

A marvelous place I'll recommend it !

Un lugar maravilloso Lo recomiendo !

Gracias Óscar. Deseándole a usted y a su familia un feliz año nuevo!

We found the house to be comfortable and clean. The pool is well kept and warm enough. It is solar heated. The outdoor photos are a bit older and are stretched a bit. Inside was clean and the kitchen stocked with appliances and utensils and had some staples upon arrival. One of the bedrooms in the main house had AC as well as the kitchen and the living room. If you ran the AC units along with the all the ceiling fans during the day the other 2 bedrooms cooled down enough to sleep ok. The guest house did have AC and a small kitchenette. The house was close enough to a grocery store and a few bars and restaurants to walk to within about 15-20 minutes as long as you don’t mind walking up hill.  Attractions are 1-2 hours best done during the non rush hours of San Jose. During rush hours it can take an hour or more to get just 10-20 miles. Not the fault of the home but something to be aware of. The hosts were always quick to answer any questions and check in was easy.

Hello John, My home has received five star ratings all year. The pictures are not stretched and the listing photos and descriptions are accurate. Airbnb would have taken issue with the listing had there been a single complaint. The ambient temperature ranged from 68-78°F during your stay. Our guests love having air-conditioning available even if it’s not especially needed! Additionally, you visited during Independence Day weekend in Costa Rica when the roads are closed for parades and festivities which you sought out and enjoyed. Again the listing location is accurate and the traveling times are as well. And yes, my home is located within walking distance of several local conveniences! If you do mind walking on hilly roads in a mountain town, consider driving a rental car or calling an Uber. I think that would be advice for anyone visiting Costa Rica and not to my particular Airbnb. We were under the impression you enjoyed your stay and are very surprised and disappointed, but hope you otherwise enjoyed beautiful Costa Rica. Pura Vida, Tania

I had a nice stay at this home. We enjoyed the many places to sit and relax inside and outside the house. Swimming pool was very nice.

Great place, beautiful house, private and with a great pool! Highly recommended

Excelente lugar, hermosa casa, privada y con una gran piscina! Muy recomendada

The house and casita are even better than in the photos. Everything was very clean and comfortable. There were plenty of linens and kitchen items. The property feels very remote, but it is actually very convenient to town. The communication response was quick and easy. We are already planning our next stay!

Thank you Mariel! Please visit with us again.

Very nice house. Very well cared for. Very comfortable beds

Muy bonita casa. Muy bien cuidada. Camas muy comodas

Gracias! Espero que vuelvas a visitarnos pronto!

The place is away from any distraction, there was no discomfort from neighbors. All furniture and equipment was comfortable. Upon arrival everything was completely clean. I definitely recommend this place.

El lugar es alejado de cualquier distracción, no hubieron molestias de vecinos. Todos los muebles y equipos estuvieron cómodos. Al llegar todo estaba completamente limpio. Recomiendo este lugar definitivamente.

Very spacious and at the same time cozy, fully equipped and the hosts are super pure life, they answered all our questions at the moment and super attentive

Lugar muy amplio y a la vez acogedor, totalmente equipada y las host son super pura vida, respondieron todas nuestras dudas en el momento y super atentas

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was wonderful. We woke up for morning runs and it was perfect. The kids LOVED the pool as they were able to get in whenever. My kids asked within the first 24 hours if they could move to Costa Rica and stay in this house for ever (lol). The locals were very helpful and friendly. We recommend Tania’s place as our host was so helpful and responsive from start to finish. We felt welcomed and serviced every step of the way. Thank you for a great time.

They need to clean alll better.  Alot of spyder web, lizard pup,  when you walk inside your feet turns black of dust, the tables counters had a lot of dust! The oven was dirty, the pillows smell bad, we bought new to sleep, we need to wash all of the bedding,. The closet are dirty, the towels smell bad and they are old. Overall the place is great but need better maintenance and new things. Needs kitchen things new.

Eric, it rained 100% of your stay. We were experiencing extreme winds as well during this El Niño season. Wildlife such as lizards will try to find high ground including going inside a home. Such would be expected and mentioned in the listing. Most guests find all the wildlife in Costa Rica charming. There were no cobwebs, or dirt, all new sheets and towels were purchased in January, a new mattress was purchased for the guesthouse in March. All the furniture was new purchased in 2021. There are ACs and fans in all the large rooms and 3 dehumidifiers available as well. Additional housekeeping was afforded to you and premium services were procured upon your request. If you chose to deny those services, there’s nothing more we can do to help a client that is unhappy with their vacation plans. You should have considered checking the weather and buying vacation insurance. Weather is an act of God. Anyone is welcome to look at your reservation dates to see how unusual the weather patterns in Costa Rica have been this year. I suggest you travel to desert climates instead. Regards, Tania

A beautiful warm, clean and quiet house, very well located, in the middle of a paradise. Includes all amenities for family or business. Impeccable communication and mutual sense. Highly recommended!

Une magnifique maison chaleureuse, propre et calme, très bien située, au milieu d’un paradis. Comprend toutes les commodités pour la famille ou professionnels. Communication impeccable et sens de l’entre-aide. Grandement recommandée!

The house is at a quiet location, convenient location close to restaurants and Supermarkets. The house has everything need it for a long stay.. Would return at any time.

Thank you Gary! Hope you visit soon! Pura Vida!

Gorgeous home with so much space!! Close to everything you will need!

Thank you, we hope you come back to Atenas and visit with us again!

Home is very well stocked with whatever you may need, even a few grocery items and breakfast pastry with fruit. Great communication and very clean!

Hello Isa, Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed your visit. Happy travels!

Our stay at the house was nice for the most part! It is a safe neighborhood, quiet and great for families- within walking distances to a few restaurants, pharmacy and big grocery store. Here are a few tips if you are staying here. Be sure to stock up on supplies like toilet paper & paper towels. The host gives you enough supplies for a couple of days. For the price you pay, I believe that toilet paper should have been included for the entire stay.. Second, be prepared to do some laundry if you are staying more long term (we stayed for 10 days). They will not provide enough towels for your stay so you have to wash the towels yourself as needed. There is a washing machine and dryer at the house. Third, the floors were really dirty. Plan to bring slippers or to wash your feet a lot. Overall, the house is a perfect size, the wifi worked for the majority of the time, the pool is nice and they provide a few breakfast items for your first day so you don't need to rush to the store. The property manager Marianna is very nice and helpful! We did have some communication issues with Tania and she watches the cameras very closely so I would add caution to that as we felt our privacy was invaded. They also sent maintenance crews to the air bnb 3 times while we stayed there, once without telling us and we felt that impeded on our vacation as they came to clean the pool mid day while we were swimming. We had a good stay but we spent a lot of money on this rental and I feel that the value didn't match the price for the reasons listed above. This house does have a lot of potential though- hopefully they can change a few things to enhance guest experience.

Dear Rachel,  All scheduled property maintenance such as gardening and pool cleaning is listed in the listing as well as the house rules. We dispatched an electrician only at your request. He was there quickly and left after a fast repair. I was told you were checking out early, so when the security camera was set off at 10 at night I was alerted, and that was the I saw your invitees smoking cigars against the house rules. The camera is there for your protection and is also in the listed property description.  You reported having a relaxing wonderful time prior to being reported for breaking the no smoking policy. We provided generous toiletries, supplies and even organic groceries for your stay as well pool towels and multiple linens, again as advertised in the listing.  Yes free onsite washer and dryer with supplies was also provided for your use and necessities. I am glad you made use of all the amenities. Tania

We stayed at Tania’s for almost 3 weeks and loved it! Nice pool, spacious enough house for all of us (6 adults, 2 kids), close to a store (best one we found), highly rated restaurants and more! Tania and property manager, Marianna, are very responsive and helpful!

This place was perfect for our family of six. The kitchen is newly equipped with pretty much everything---even basics like oil, salt, pepper, and a few spices. There are two separate living spaces, and the sunroom is on the opposite end of the house from the workspace, separated by a door---perfect for keeping our noisy activities away from where my husband was working online. The WiFi was excellent: fast, and we had numerous devices on at the same time with no loss of quality. Comfy beds, good furnishings, everything you need. The pool was a bit cold, but in the grand scheme of things it's all good. Very walkable to stores and restaurants, beautiful views, very secure. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Hi Sara thank you for the lovely review! We will definitely consider the pool heater. Hope you come back and visit take care!

We stayed a week at this place. Nothing could have been better for sure. Starting with very responsive communication with Tania and team before/during the stay to all the essentials on our arrival and care during our stay. This place in Athenas, rated as one of best places to live in the world with perfect weather, is 15 minutes from the airport, sleeps a group of 8 with a guest studio. We had a lovely time during our 7 days of stay. We did yoga in the morning in spacious outdoor space next to a pool watching all the birds and green sky. During the day there was cacophony of birds taking a plunge or sip in the pool. One day even an iguana showed up to munch on the vegetation. We walked to the local grocery store which is like quarter of a mile. The restaurants and bars are all walkable. Most importantly, it is very safe. Tania and team took care of any questions we had and things we need right away. Would love to go back.

Thank you for your kind words and glowing review! We hope you can visit with us again!
