Modern 2-Bedroom Mountain Retreat, Stunning Views, Saltwater Pool
Escape to the tranquil mountains of Atenas, Costa Rica and experience pure serenity at our modern 2-bedroom rental house "Paradise Waits". With breathtaking mountain views, luxurious amenities, and an abundance of natural beauty, this is the perfect destination for a peaceful getaway. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, surrounded by birds, monkeys, and the pure essence of Pura Vida.
The Space:
Step into our newly built, modern house and instantly feel at ease. The open-concept living area is designed for comfort and relaxation, featuring stylish furnishings and large windows that frame the magnificent mountain views. The fully equipped kitchen boasts modern appliances and is perfect for preparing meals with fresh local ingredients.
The living area comes equipped with an air-conditioned to help with the afternoon heat. As Costa Rica is an eco-friendly country we ask that you use the air-conditioning sparingly.
Both bedrooms are tastefully decorated and feature comfortable queen-sized beds. Each bedroom comes with its own en-suite bathroom, complete with showers for your convenience. Wake up to the soothing sounds of nature and enjoy the breathtaking views right from your bedroom window.
One of the highlights of our property is the saltwater swimming pool, where you can take a refreshing dip while enjoying the spectacular surroundings. Lounge on the poolside deck, soak up the sun, and let the stresses of everyday life melt away.
The Location:
Nestled in the mountains of Atenas, our rental house offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Immerse yourself in nature and discover the incredible biodiversity of Costa Rica. Wake up to the songs of tropical birds, spot monkeys swinging through the trees, and breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Atenas is renowned for its mild climate, making it an ideal destination year-round. Explore the nearby hiking trails, visit the picturesque coffee plantations, or simply relax and unwind in the peace and quiet of your mountain retreat.
While secluded, our property is conveniently located within driving distance to Atenas town center, where you can find restaurants, shops, and local amenities. You can also venture further to explore popular attractions such as the Arenal Volcano National Park, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, and the beautiful Pacific coast beaches.
We take great pride in offering a sanctuary of peace and tranquility. Disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with nature and yourself.

About the host
Hosted by Giles King
I was born and raised in England on the south coast in a town called Bournemouth. I moved to New Orleans in my late teens, then moved again to Panama City Beach Florida about 25 years ago now.
I fell in love with the town of Atenas when I first visited, and had the opportunity to build 2 houses, Mango Sunrise and Paradise Waits. They are both available for rent and I hope to share my piece of Paradise.

What makes this property unique
The sun will rise on the front of this property each day, wake up to the most beautiful sunrises.
Sunset can be watched at the communal rancho near by.
Only 45 mins from the airport.
Atenas center 15 mins
1 hr. to San Jose city center.
1 hr. to Jaco Beach.
Salt water swimming pool facing the mountains.
In Atenas you are close to places you might want to go but you are also away from the hustle of the City or Tourist towns.
Hang around on the porch and play some chess then take a dip in the refreshing pool.
The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, blender, plates etc.
You have your own washer and dryer on property.
There is plenty to see and do in the town of Atenas from shops to restaurants and a central park.
My property managers, Sandra and Marco, a multilingual (English-Dutch-Spanish-German) couple from The Netherlands, are ready to welcome you to Paradise Waits, and will do everything within their power to make your stay a great success. As an additional service to our house guests, they offer a fee-based airport pick-up and drop-off to help you avoid the potential hassles involved in the transitions into and out of your time in Costa Rica (something to particularly consider when you have night-time travel plans, but a nice comfort to have in any event). They also provide car rentals and tours to all corners of the country, including the Poas and Arenal volcanoes, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, a private Catamaran Sailing tour, a visit to an Organic Coffee farm, all kinds of adventurous activities, and tours custom made to our guests' requests throughout Costa Rica.
