Host is very easy to communicate with. House seems brand new inside and outside. Very well kept grounds and garden areas. Pictures are very accurate in the listing. Nice close location to Volcan Tenorio Park Entrance. Amenities are great and just as advertised. Plenty of Hot Water. Self Check-in with key lock-box works well. Thanks to Rick and Ashley for sharing this with us.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Graham

Host profile image
¡Pura Vida! Welcome to Our Sanctuary.

We’re Rick and Ashley, and Pura Vidaville is the realization of our dream to create a true tropical sanctuary near Rio Celeste. Having lived in Costa Rica for 15 years, this region holds a deeply special place in our hearts—it’s where we transitioned from Canadian travelers to locals and built our life together.

We created Pura Vidaville so our guests could experience that exact same magic. Whether you’re here to marvel at the Rio Celeste waterfall, spot sloths and tropical birds, or simply relax surrounded by nature, we’ve designed every cabin to be spotless, cool, and exceptionally peaceful.

We live nearby to ensure your stay is seamless and comfortable while giving you total privacy to disconnect and recharge. We can’t wait to welcome you and help you experience the true Pura Vida lifestyle!

Why they chose this property

Why We Chose This Neighborhood
Honestly, we chose this spot because it felt like a secret paradise. The moment we first drove up the road, we were captivated by the incredible peace, cool breezes, and vibrant green of the rainforest—it was the exact authentic Costa Rican setting we wanted to build our lives around!

The Scene & What We Love Most
The "scene" here is pure nature! Because our road has minimal traffic, the property feels wonderfully private, quiet, and secure. What we love most is the daily wildlife parade—waking up to the calls of toucans and howler monkeys, and spotting sloths or native birds right from the porch. It’s a warm, safe, and friendly area where you can truly unplug, listen to the rainforest, and experience a slice of untouched Costa Rica.

What makes this property unique

What Makes Pura Vidaville Truly Unique

What sets our property apart is the perfect harmony of three key elements: an unbeatable location, modern jungle comfort, and our hands-on commitment as local hosts.

1. Unbeatable Proximity to Rio Celeste: While many area rentals require long drives down rough roads, we are located less than 1 mile from the entrance to Volcán Tenorio National Park. You can be at the magical Rio Celeste waterfall in just minutes—giving you more time to explore and less time commuting. You get absolute rural peace without sacrificing precious vacation time!

2. Modern Comfort in an Authentic Rainforest Setting: We built our solid concrete cabins to offer a level of comfort that is rare in the region. Enjoy the full, immersive rainforest experience—the lush views, the toucans, the sounds of nature—without the usual inconveniences. Featuring powerful A/C, high-speed fiber optic Wi-Fi, and a fully sealed, bug-free design, your cabin is a true modern sanctuary.

3. Thoughtful, All-Inclusive Hosting: As local hosts living close by, we pour our hearts into making your stay seamless. From stocking your kitchen with fresh local fruit, breakfast supplies, and refreshments to providing complimentary adventure gear (like hiking poles and dry bags), we’ve anticipated every detail so you can just show up and relax.
