Casa Caracara (top floor) - Villas for Rent in Platanillo, San José Province, Costa Rica

It was an amazing beautiful and peaceful place to stay! I personally would reccomend a 4x4 just for a peace of mind and take tolls if you don’t want to go through the mountain! Len and Vani were so helpful when it came to anything we needed as well as the reccomendations that were UNLIMITED. They have a great guidebook with all types of reccomendations and they also are so sweet to talk to. The location was beautiful and close to multiple waterfalls that took our breath away. They have a beautiful pool and hot tub that was relaxing to be in weather it was day or night and we loved their sweet pups. The room was clean and comfortable to sleep in and it was anazing to wake up to the natural sunrise, we hope to come back soon!

Thank you, Ace! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and appreciated our recommendations and the stunning surroundings. Your kind words mean a lot. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Most reviews are mainly about the home itself, but this one is half the home and half the hosts. We came to Dominical expecting it to just be a stop along the way, but it ended up being our favorite stop on our honeymoon road trip. The property is absolutely stunning. Before we met Len and Vani, we noted to ourselves how intentional the property design, Airbnb, everything felt. Our first morning there, we enjoyed great birdwatching from the balcony, and then ventured around their very large orchard to pick fruit and explore. We then met Len, Vani, and their gardener and it felt like we met old friends. They are extremely kind, curious to get to know you, and shared our love for nature and adventure. They gave us a great food and waterfall recommendation that became some of our top highlights. Len and Vani are great company, great hosts, and truly exude the “pura vida” vibe of Costa Rica. Thank you! We will definitely be back!

My wife and I had the most amazing 5 night stay at Casa Caracara. The home was spotless and stocked with anything we could have possibly needed during our stay. The views were absolutely breathtaking—the pictures on the listing really don’t do it justice! We loved waking up to the call of countless birds and winding the day down with gorgeous sunsets seen from the pool. Len and Vani were wonderful hosts—great communication, incredibly kind and offered fantastic recommendations for both local excursions and food options. We can’t say enough good things about Len and Vani and Casa Carscara. If we come back to Costa Rica, we’d stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you Len and Vani!

Vann and Sara - Your review is so lovely.  It makes my heart feel full.  It is our sincere wish that our guests get to fully enjoy this paradise and feel truly welcomed!  Congratulations on your marriage.  All the very best to you both!

This was the highlight of our trip in Costa Rica. This place was pure magic, exceeded all expectations. The pictures don’t do it justice. We would stay here again and again. Extremely clean, and the hosts were so friendly, kind and gave us great recommendations in the area.

Thank you so much. We love that you had such a positive experience staying here with us!  We do hope that you will be able to return 😊

This space has truly taken a huge piece of our hearts. From start to finish, Vani and Len’s hospitality, communication, and thoughtful recommendations were absolutely everything. They made us feel so welcomed. We completely fell in love with Casa Caracara, the breathtaking views, the surrounding mountains, the peaceful sounds of birds chirping, and waking up to toucans in the morning. It’s the perfect place to slow down, relax your mind and body, and truly feed your soul. Casa Caracara has become my happy place, and it will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you, Vani and Len, for the wonderful conversations and for sharing your magical oasis with us. We can’t wait to return.

what to say instead it was paradise! I'm not joking. its just beautiful. The host are the greatest and the dogs the ice on the cake. We love to wakes up with the birds. We love to talk to Len and Vani... Really don't try to look any where else this house is perfect

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!  It’s so much fun to share our properties with our guests. We meet such lovely people. We enjoyed sharing time with your family and we hope to see you again!!

It was one of the gems during our stay in Costa Rica!

Thank you for your review. I’m happy that you enjoyed your stay!

Pictures dont do this place justice. Len and Vani were excellent hosts and their dogs were very sweet. Thanks for letting us stay we hope to see you again!

Thank you for your wonderful review. You were great guests and we would welcome you to return anytime.

We had an excellent stay; truly a slice of paradise, and a highlight of our vacation! The hosts, Len and Vani, were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel like family. They were very responsive to any needs we had, and connecting with them made the whole experience so fulfilling. The villa offers an incredible view for birdwatching, so bring a scope. The space is clean, modern, and beautifully built and maintained; though the footprint is not large, the thoughtful design makes the space ample for 2 and a younger child. The kitchen is of high quality, with good cookware and sharp knives. Washer/dryer on lower level very convenient. The saltwater pool and hot tub are superb, with a stunning garden setting and expansive view of the mountain valley; they can be used from morning to evening, with a heads-up for hot tub heating, and are shared with the hosts’ residence and another guesthouse on the property. The grounds are thoughtfully planted. Highest recommendation!!

A little piece of heaven… beautiful place, everything was perfect. We stayed for 9 days and enjoyed it to the fullest!!!

Un pedacito de cielo… precioso lugar, todo fue perfecto estuvimos por 9 días y disfrutamos al máximo!!!

We truly enjoyed hosting your family and would love to see you again sometime!

Len and Vani’s place was such a dream to stay at, absolute paradise. The house looked exactly as pictured and was very clean. It was great to be able to relax in the hot tub and pool and we loved waking up to the sounds of the jungle each day. They also have the two sweetest dogs, and their pup Reina always lovingly greeted us whenever we would return from our daily adventures. Communication was excellent. We would definitely stay here again without hesitation! Thanks so much Len & Vani!

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay so much. We are happy that you enjoyed our sweet dogs and that you found the pool and hot tub relaxing. It was so nice to get to know you both and to talk "shop" a bit - re: music, songwriting, performing, etc. I am so glad that we could host you while you were being featured as performers and could provide a comfortable place to rest up and practice between performances!

Fantastic location!!!, cozy villa with all amenities, an excellent swimming pool. For the convenience of your stay, you will need a car to go for groceries or to the beach.

Фантастическая локация!!!, уютная вилла со всеми удобствами, отличный бассейн.Для удобства проживания Вам потребуется автомобиль, чтобы ездить за продуктами или на пляж.

Staying at Casa Caracara was an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking panoramic views, the luxurious amenities, and the peaceful atmosphere made this the perfect escape. The home is beautifully designed, offering both comfort and a deep connection with nature. Waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying the infinity pool while overlooking the lush green landscape was simply magical. Len and Vani are fantastic hosts - warm, welcoming, and always available if needed. The accommodation was spotless, well-equipped, and thoughtfully furnished. The fully stocked kitchen made cooking a delight, and the shared whirlpool and pool added an extra touch of relaxation. If you’re looking for a tranquil retreat with a touch of luxury in Costa Rica, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you Artur.  We really enjoyed hosting you here. You are great guests. We get so much pleasure from seeing others enjoy the peace and spectacular beauty that surrounds us here.
