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.

Property is great & the managers are excellent with communication. Check in process is well detailed and seamless. The drive up the mountains is rougher terrain so 4-WD is a must. The property is quiet and gorgeous!

Quiet, beautiful views and inviting pool to cool down
The property was amazing and very quiet. We had the pool to ourselves the entire time. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, towels and storage containers that allowed us to cook several meals after visiting the local grocery store in Atenas. Klaas and Sandra were amazing and we did the coffee and wildlife reserve tour with them. Both great experiences. Hot water didn't work the day we left and water pressure was pretty low for showers, but those were the only issues we had. Everything else was great!

Tranquility in the mountains
Great stay and amazing views. Only recommendation would to have AC units in the bedrooms as it definitely was uncomfortable at times. I would absolutely stay again in December if AC units were installed!! Otherwise it woube way too hot at night.

The people, the place, the location: all incredible. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this place. The views were absolutely breathtaking, the owners/property managers were so helpful and insightful, and the house was just lovely to boot. I can’t say enough good things!

Awesome house and stay
This place is so amazing, a hidden gem! A very quiet and peaceful place for lounging by the pool, watching birds, just relaxing. Has all the mod-cons and AC which is a plus. The manager (Marco) and owner were amazing and very responsive. Very cute and clean place. Would recommend a small SUV if you are renting a car as some of the roads are rough (if only for short distance). Paradise waits for sure!

Great for a quiet scenic getaway with my family
Great experience for me and my family. Beautiful amazing views, modern clean and comfort stay. Very spacious and plenty of amenities. Loved waking up and watching the sun rise with mountain views. The pool was excellent and again, great to get cooled off whilst looking at the views. VRBO did not seem to clear to use through the booking process, but the stay itself was great. We will be recommending it and will book again.
