Acerca de este alojamiento

Private home nestled into the edge of the rainforst directly above Rio Celeste.

Fully equipped 2 BR, 2 bath home. Very well equipped including full kitchen. All windows screened and tight fitting doors. View wildlife right from the covered porch. Monkeys, Toucans, Parrots & more. Maybe a Sloth if you're lucky! Garden full of tropical plants and flowers attract many species of butterflies and hummingbirds. Construction was completed in January 2023 and everything in the home is new. Private workspace, laundry, a futon and air mattress if you need more sleeping space. Tiled throughout. Just a few minutes from Volcan Tenorio National Park...a world heritage site. Restaurants, a resort spa and pubs nearby. All of the local attractions very close. Many of them within walking distance. Wifi internet and a smart TV. Our guests love the 200ft2 covered front porch with patio furniture, hammocks and a BBQ. Pet friendly and trails nearby take you to the beautiful blue river where your dog can join you and you can swim in the river...you can't do that within the park boundaries.

I thought paradise meant white sand beaches, but now it’s been redefined. The attention to detail inside and out was absolutely outstanding. Such a lovely home and gorgeous property. The hosts were amazing and attentive—so generous with how they stocked the home, including eggs, bread, snacks, and more as well as advice and quickly answering questions. This was our first stop on our first trip to Costa Rica, and the high bar was quickly set. Lovely home base for exploring the region. My kids have proclaimed this property to be their favorite rental ever, and we can’t wait to visit again.

The house is extremely well designed and functional with a beautiful garden. They paid attention to so many details, such as supplying useful items for comfort in the house and for exploring the area. We really appreciated the breakfast food and snacks provided. The hiking trail down to the river is a gem.

Great communication! Great recommendations! The property is immaculate and thoughtfully designed for the guest. I was impressed with the upkeep of the grounds and the trail to the river. The jungle was accessible and wildlife was literally at your door with morning Tucans greeting you at breakfast. The home was fully stocked our hosts thoughtfully provided breakfast items, snacks, and drinks. This saved us time and energy for our quick stopover in Katira. We wish we could have stayed longer. Exceeded all our expectations including our local tour guide Jhonny.

We had an awesome trip to Rio Celeste and our stay at Rick and Ashley’s Casa Familia was awesome. Great hosts and great advice on tours and Restaurants was very helpful. The house is close to everything you want to do. They suggested Johnnie as a guide and he was great. We will definitely return.

Rick and Ashley were great hosts. Since we were arriving at Casa Familia on Christmas Eve after sundown, I was concerned that we might not have food available for that night and Christmas Day. Rick was nice enough to buy us some food we requested to make Costa Rican dishes in advance, and it turned out to be enough food for our entire three-day stay, save for some drinks and snacks at Soda El Parque. We loved the environs and feeding and watching the birds, especially the Yellow-Throated Toucans, Collared Aracaris, and Montezuma Orependolas. We highly recommend staying at Casa Familia for anyone, but especially birders, who would be better equipped to identify the numerous other species we saw. We also greatly enjoyed our sloth watch and coffee tour with Johnny based on Rick and Ashley's recommendation. I wish we had booked a longer stay.

Great slice of nature

We loved our stay at casa Rio Familia. The house was equipped with more than we needed. Great snacks and wine and beer plus sodas. The property is quiet and private yet close to everything. Many amazing birds and the gardens in the front are gorgeous. Definitely stay more than one night. Johnny the guide Rick and Ashley recommended was great and reasonably priced.

Rick and Ashley were wonderful hosts and the house was every bit as nice as the pictures lead you to believe. Good drinking water from the tap, excellent big showers, nicely decorated, and seriously in the heart of the rain forest. On the porch you see nothing but trees and birds. Birds and more birds. Daily regulars included Toucans, Amazons, Alacari and Hummingbirds. We witnessed a fascinating conversation about the food in the feeder between the Toucans and a Montezuma Oropendola. It's in a perfect location for good local restaurants and activities in Tenorio Volcano Park and Rio Celeste. Absolutely get their recommended tour guide - Jhonny. Great guy. Kitchen was stocked with staples like coffee, milk, eggs, bread, and very nicely equipped. They checked in on us daily, and offered to pick up whatever we may need when they went to town. We were there for a big birthday and they brought us a Birthday Cake that day!

Amazing stay!

What a great way to start our journey through Costa Rica! Rick was incredibly responsive and made things easy and enjoyable for us throughout our stay. We didn’t see any real grocery stores so we especially appreciated the eggs, tasty fruit, and other items he provided. (If you want wine at home in the evening, buy some before you arrive - closest store doesn’t carry it). The home is lovely and is surrounded by a lush garden and jungle forest. The location couldn’t be better, as it is moments away from the hiking trail to Rio Celeste. Our favorite restaurant was Tapirus Paradise at the end of the street. Amazing food and friendly, attentive service at reasonable prices! We highly recommend staying at Rick’s place. You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing paradise! Do yourself a favor and book it!

Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids)visited Costa Rica for 9 days. We stayed in 3 different Vrbos but this one was our favorite. Absolutely amazing, paradise on earth! The hosts are very responsive and kind, you will arrive to some eggs, milk, snacks and fruit waiting for you. The location is perfect and safe. We were able to walk to the national park, maze, restaurants and the trail behind the house. We saw the most amount of different birds on our first morning out of our whole stay in Costa Rica. The hosts were restocking the fruits in the feeder to attract more birds. My teenage daughter said it was the best morning of her life waking up to all the birds just flying above us and then watching them eat the fruit just a few feet away from us. This place will stay in our hearts forever. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Odd to get such a crappy review when your wife Chrissy said things like this to us: (all c/p'd from our messages) *Thank you so much. We had a great visit. A memoriable part of the trip! *We have arrived! Thank you so much. Your place is beautiful Not to mention the free late checkout and assistance with the tourism website where we bought the passes on your behalf.
