A Magical Oasis in AvellanasOur stay at Casa Rio in Avellanas, Costa Rica was truly magical. This private home was like an oasis - we hardly wanted to leave during our time there. We spent most of our days relaxing by the pool, which was such a treat. We felt truly safe and isolated while being so close to all that Avellanas has to offer!The house itself was beautifully decorated and cared fo. It was well equipped with soft beds, high quality linens, and a kitchen that had everything we needed. The gardens were impeccably manicured, and the attention to detail in the woodwork and decor was impressive.The location was also fantastic - just a short journey to the vibrant town square and the beach. The host took care of us in every way, ensuring our stay was comfortable and carefree.I would highly recommend Casa Rio to anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious getaway in Avellanas. We can't wait to return in the future. This home is a true gem.

About the host
Hosted by Genevra Cardoso
We’re a family who fell in love with Playa Avellanas and designed Casa Río to be a place where people can truly relax and connect. We spend time here with our own kids, so comfort, layout, and flow were thoughtfully considered. We’re happy to help with recommendations and want every stay to feel easy and memorable.
Why they chose this property
We chose Playa Avellanas for its balance of beauty and calm. It offers incredible beaches, surf, and nature without the crowds of larger towns. You can walk to restaurants, coffee, and the beach, while still feeling tucked away in a quiet jungle setting. It’s one of the most special areas on Costa Rica’s coast.
What makes this property unique
Casa Río is designed specifically for group travel—spacious, private, and easy to gather without feeling crowded. The indoor-outdoor flow, large dining area, and saltwater pool create a natural rhythm for shared time together. With jungle surroundings, a short walk to the beach, and space for both connection and privacy, it offers a rare combination that’s hard to find in the area.
