Family-friendly vacation rentals in Aguacaliente o San Francisco District

We rented Lily’s place for my mom’s bday and my husband’s first time in Costa Rica and we looooveed her Villa, it is very beautiful and spacious , we loved every detail in the rooms, it is equipped with everything you can possibly need for your family. When we arrived the house was very cleaned and pristine, everything looked perfect and we loved the decor , it has an Spanish European vibe and in every corner of the house there is a space to relax and have comfortable conversations. Nery is on of the watchers of the property and he was very attentive to all of our needs, the response times for any of our questions or needs was within minutes and we are extremely grateful for all of his assistance. The only thing we think could possibly be better or improve was the TV , it was a little small and since my brother brought his play station they couldn’t really enjoy their game but at the end of the day we weren’t there to play video games but to spend quality time with our family.

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. We were a group of 12 and the property had plenty of space for all of us. It’s an absolutely majestic home. We were treated to a stay in the clouds with the skies clearing in the evening for us to enjoy some city lights and views. Location is very convenient from San Jose city and airport. We particularly absolutely loved the chef dinner made available to us via this properly. Chef Juan and his assistant absolutely made our day and stay so much better after a full day of touring and a long journey before that. What an incredible meal and experience. Loved this home. We will be back!

Would definitely recommend!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Julio’s beautiful house. This time we went with friends to celebrate a birthday, all of them have lived in Costa Rica for decades, but were unfamiliar with San Isidro. They all were truly impressed by Julio’s property, its magnificent views, peaceful surroundings, large and gorgeous gardens, and the thoughtful way the house is managed. Jorge, the caretaker, was helpful and friendly. We took our friends to Bonsai Mundo just down the road, an outing that we highly recommend. Thank you for everything, Julio and Jorge! We hope to be back someday soon.

We have stayed in this building and with Travelkings before and it did not dissappoint. Great location, unit has all that you will need and Jorge, is a very responsive host. Definitely will continue to recommend to friends and family wanting to stay in/near San Jose. Hope to be back soon!

Make sure to sit on the deck on hour before sunset to enjoy the bird show!

Laura’s Place was in a great location for our trip to San Jose, Poas Volcano and Waterfall Gardens. It was large enough for our family of 5, and we felt right at home. My children loved that the pool was just steps from our patio too! The only negative for me was, being a light sleeper, the street noise kept me awake in the Master Bedroom. It didn’t bother my husband though. Thanks for a lovely stay all around!

Martin was very respectful and answer all my questions and more. would definitely stay there again. thank you martin. People should definitely stay here very quiet and alot of monkeys.

My best ever Airbnb experience! These hosts really know what they're doing. Very informative and clear directions, always fast response. Place is very close to the airport and was convenient for our one night stay. Apartment is like a palace with a beautiful back yard. There is a great local fast food place and convenient store 5min walk. Thank you for the nice ending of our Costa Rica trip!

The place was beautiful. The pictures don’t do it any justice. The meditation garden was very beautiful and peaceful. The bed was very comfortable. If we ever come back this way we would surely stay here again.

I have stay at this place 3 times, is a beautiful area, perfect location for Cima hospital great restaurants and shopping.

Julie always attentive and flexible, we were very pleased with the place and facilities they gave us during our stay.

Great place near the airport and amazing host

It's a magical place, the views are breathtaking, the fireplace gives a rich warmth to the living room. The internet is good and stable. The office is very nice for those times that you must comply with some work slope. For those of us who like the cold it is tasty to be there, for those who do not wear a good coat because the temperature goes down to 7 degrees at night. Luis the host is always attentive and very kind, Oscar the Housekeper always attentive to our needs. Nice to return to this spectacular place.

Beautiful space, a lot of art on the walls. I loved the high ceilings and the decor. They have this quite little garden at the backyard. The location is very convenient and I would definitely would stay there again.

Walter's place was perfect for us, and it was exactly what we expected from the listing and the photos. He was very easy to work with, and he was very generous and kind with his time. He had recommendations for everything from the best place to exchange currency to the best spot for morning coffee. The space was very attractive and comfortable inside with unique stylistic and decorative details uncommon in other rentals in Costa Rica. Our bathroom/shower was very spacious, clean, and stylish, too. The kitchen was well-stocked with glassware, utensils, plates and, cookware and, of course, a chorreador for making great Costa Rican coffee. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and I, for one, loved the mattress. Ours was very firm and comfortable in contrast with the ubiquitous super-squishy, too-soft foam mattresses so common in US AirBnBs. And the outside patio was so inviting on lazy afternoons. Truly a fantastic stay!

Very good experience. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and conveniently located. Everything was in pristine condition. I would definitely recommend it and stay here again

Our stay with Katrin was incredible. She made great recommendations for us and was extremely welcoming. Katrin was always extremely responsive and easy to work with. She knows everything there is to know about the area, which made our trip that much better.

Had a wonderful stay at Casa Papillon - the pictures don't do it justice! The house, the views, and the pool were unreal. Mariah was fantastic at communicating and a huge help with organizing transportation for my group of 8. We had one issue with the hot water and she sent someone out right away. Location was very ideal with it being only 10 min from the National Park. There are markets and restaurants nearby that were walking distance, very convenient!

Very grateful for the kindness of Nicolás and Don Carlos, very attentive. The place is beautiful, I recommend the site 100%

Excellent..only a few bottles of water and some sachets of coffee and sugar are nice because when you arrive there is no opportunity to buy something until afterwards..but for everything else super

We loved the apartment, the Rancho and the pool at Catarina and Yolanda's place. It was beautifully appointed, the bed was great and the kitchen was well stocked with the tools needed for meal preparations. The Rancho was huge and it looked ready to host a large group activity but we enjoyed it all by ourselves. The sunsets were beautiful and the view of the volcano awesome. We felt comfortable asking either of our hostesses for anything we needed and they responded immediately. The apartment was cozy and the outdoor amenities are great. We would love to go back again some day.

This was our second visit, the views are incredible and the house has all the amenities you need to spend a great holiday. The pool is clean and surrounded by plants that attract birds and butterflies.

My family and I had a great time. The place was amazing Federico was great. It’s a shame we couldn’t stay longer we had a lot of fun. Very peaceful beautiful and clean. Alonzo was also very helpful and attentive to us. We are from NYC and will definitely return.
