Monthly Rentals in Río Barú

We are already planning a return trip. Our only regret there was that we stayed at another place for 2 days when we could have been there. The home was exactly what I was looking for, a private home with a pool but even better. The town of Dominical was the perfect size, not a huge touristy area, but easy to get around and find a unique place to eat, groceries to cook, and a nice beach. The river was an added bonus as it was very clean and swimable. The only concern with the place would be the drive up the dirt and rock hill. I didn’t have an issue with it in our rented RAV4 with Rock and Dirt setting on, but I have friends I’m sure that would not feel comfortable navigating it. It is a short drive, but steep in parts.

Breathtaking sunsets, incredible views from this elevation such that you are often looking down at the birds flying or at their level and the fog/clouds are sometimes below you. Watching the sunset while swimming in the pool or sitting on our patio were special features of this place. The sounds of monkeys, birds and cicadas chirping totally enhanced this peaceful piece of paradise.

We loved our 2 week stay at Teal's place. Chandra, the house manager met us with a warm welcome, and gave us helpful tour. She was an invaluable resource for recommendations on activities, and local cuisine. The surroundings were beautiful and serene, and we saw a multitude of wildlife. The house was spacious for our family of 5, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking. Despite visiting in the summer, the temperature was breezy and comfortable. The home was beautifully decorated, and everything was maintained. We would definitely visit again!

For a first trip to Costa Rica I don't think we could have asked for a better location. The house is right on the beach and you have it to yourself most of the time, other than a few people walking past you feel like it's your own private beach. The lizards and birds are everywhere. The house is close to a lot of restaurants and activities. Don't miss out on the opportunity to swim in the waterfalls, travel hint take the ride up you will thank me later. The Lanai makes a great space to enjoy the sounds and views of the surroundings but not have to worry about bugs. This was an amazing experience and thankful we found it.
