About the host
Hosted by Rick Graham
¡Pura Vida! Welcome to our slice of paradise.
We’re Rick and Ashley, and we’re so glad you’ve chosen Pura Vidaville for your adventure. Originally from Canada, we came seeking the magic of the Costa Rican jungle and ended up calling it home. In a wonderful twist of fate, we even found each other here!
We built this property to share the "authentic" Costa Rica we fell in love with—but with the modern comforts we know travelers value. We live just down the road, so we’re always nearby if you need a local tip or a helping hand, but we truly honor your privacy. Consider this your private rainforest retreat. Enjoy every moment!
Why they chose this property
"Nature First" We chose this specific neighborhood for its incredible biodiversity. Being tucked away in a rural, forested corridor means we share our backyard with toucans, sloths, and several species of monkeys. It’s a place where 'Pura Vida' isn’t just a slogan—it’s the daily pace of life. We wanted a location that felt deeply connected to the wild heart of Costa Rica, but was still accessible enough to serve as a convenient home base for exploring the northern highlands.
What makes this property unique
"Where the Jungle Stays Outside: A Quiet, Modern Escape Just Minutes from the Action"
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 “Casa Familia is located in a beautiful and tranquil setting. Surrounded by well groomed natural gardens with flowering plants and a feeding station to attract the local birds.” Janet
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"We stayed at Casa Familia near Río Celeste and absolutely loved it. The home felt brand new, extremely clean, and full of thoughtful touches. The fridge was stocked with water, almond milk, fruit, beer, and even a bottle of wine. They also provided dry bags, ponchos, and even makeup towels—things you don’t expect but really appreciate." Sheldon
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"This is by far our favorite Airbnb ever. A beautiful peaceful location. Our only regret is having to leave so soon. The house had all those little details that make your stay special." Harold
We had a specific dream for Pura Vidaville: to create a true sanctuary that feels deeply immersed in the Costa Rican rainforest while remaining incredibly accessible.
What sets us apart is the intentionality of our build. We’ve created a space where you can wake up to the sound of monkeys and still be at the gates of Rio Celeste in minutes. Unlike many jungle stays, we don't think "authentic" should mean "uncomfortable." With professional-grade construction, full A/C, and high-speed internet, we provide a clean, modern, and bug-free environment. You get the raw beauty of the jungle during the day and a refreshing, secure retreat at night.
