Rental Homes in Guanacaste

Guanacaste is known for its sun-drenched beaches scattered along Costa Rica’s North Pacific coast. The area’s popular destinations, like the white sand beach and crystal waters of Playa Conchal, the surfing Mecca of Tamarindo, and the fishing and diving hub of Playas del Coco are less than an hour away from the Guanacaste International Airport in Liberia. 
 
Rental homes in Guanacaste are built to accommodate families and large groups looking to enjoy high-end luxury and personalized service on a tropical beach.
 
Guanacaste is the ideal location to rent in Costa Rica because of much more than just its beautiful beaches. It’s also home to many adventure tour companies, which will keep you moving from one thrilling adventure to another. You might try zip lining, mountain biking, waterfall rappelling, surfing, white-water rafting, kayaking, snorkeling, ATV tours, horseback riding, and stand-up paddle boarding.
 
The weather in Guanacaste is hot and sunny year round, receiving less rain than elsewhere in Costa Rica.
 
Additionally, Guanacaste has fine dining options not found in many other parts of the country. As a result, you’ll have quite a few restaurants to try and many that you’ll want to go back to again and again.
 
Guanacaste is known as the most luxurious part of Costa Rica. 
 
It’s where you find the high-end resorts and condos, and where nearly all the all-inclusive options in the country are located. These can include food, drinks, and activities. Each all-inclusive villa rental in Guanacaste has a slightly different definition of all-inclusive, so check with our experts to know what each option includes.
 
Another aspect of luxury that’s often added to vacation home rentals in Guanacaste is a private chef. A chef can be brought in for a special dinner celebration one evening or be there the whole time to prepare all of your group’s meals and snacks. 
 
Having a private chef takes your vacation experience to the next level.
