¡Pura Vida! Welcome.
We're Rick and Ashley, and we're so happy you're here. It means the world to us that you've chosen Pura Vidaville for your adventure.
Like you, we came here from Canada to experience the magic of Costa Rica and ended up calling it home. In a wonderful turn of events, we even found each other here! It’s a special place, and we hope you feel that magic, too.
Please make yourselves at home. We live just down the road and are always happy to help with anything, but we also cherish our guests' privacy. Think of this as your private retreat, and just give us a shout if a question comes up.

Why they chose this property
Why we chose this neighborhood:
We chose this specific corner of Costa Rica because it represents the authentic "Pura Vida" we fell in love with. We wanted a place that was not just near nature, but completely immersed in it, while still being incredibly close to the magic of the Rio Celeste.
The scene and what we enjoy most:
Our neighborhood is a tranquil, rural valley tucked just a kilometer up a country lane from the main road. The scene is pure, unspoiled rainforest. Instead of traffic, the only sounds you’ll hear are the calls of toucans, the gentle chatter of monkeys, and the vibrant chorus of the jungle.
What we love most is the profound sense of peace and privacy. It’s a place where you can enjoy your morning coffee on the porch while watching for colorful birds and feel completely connected to the natural world. It’s a genuinely safe and peaceful community, offering a true escape from the hustle and bustle.

What makes this property unique
When we decided to build Pura Vidaville, we had a very specific dream. We wanted to create what we felt was missing in the area: a true sanctuary that was both deeply immersed in the real Costa Rican jungle and incredibly close to the main attractions.
What makes us unique is that we built our property to be the solution. We were tired of the choice between staying somewhere convenient but noisy, or quiet but a 30-minute drive from the park. Pura Vidaville is that solution—a peaceful, rural hideaway where your only neighbors are toucans and monkeys, yet you're just minutes from Rio Celeste.
We also built our cabins with the modern comforts we, as travelers, value most: reliable high-speed Wi-Fi for planning your day, powerful A/C for a comfortable night's sleep, and a space so well-sealed you can enjoy the jungle sounds without inviting the jungle inside. It's the perfect, hassle-free basecamp for your adventure. The home is constructed for comfort and cleanliness. Completely tiled throughout, concrete construction, custom fit windows and screens along with tight fitting doors...the jungle critters stay outside!
