Monthly Rentals in Tacares

This is a great place if you're traveling on a budget! We had everything we needed for our stay while we located a permanent home rental. Josue was flexible and good to communicate with. This is a Tico house, so if you're new to Costa Rica, know that means no hot water except the in-line heater in the shower, no screens on the doors, and you shouldn't flush the toilet paper. But all that said, it's a comfortable house in the mountains with incredible views, and the cows are a bonus. We would recommend it to our friends!

It's funny, I stayed in a 40 ft container Airbnb last week and it seemed a little cramped, so whoever managed to fit this Airbnb in a 20 ft container did a great job. However, clearly compromises needed to be made. The Tiny House has a Tiny Shower Cubicle. And at 177 cm (5' 9.5") my head touched the bedroom ceiling, and I had to duck in the bathroom and using the stairs to avoid hitting my head. Bed is comfortable, shower is hot, and the one-person kitchen reasonably well stocked. One thing that needs to be fixed is the entrance to the parking area. Even in a 4x4 high-clearence vehicle, it is unnecessarily awkward to climb a 4 inch curb to enter the parking.

Elsa was one of the first people we met in Costa Rica and showed us true Costa Rican hospitality. Her studio apartment was perfect for us, comfortable and very clean. I love that despite the fact that we had a language barrier, we all made it work. We stayed a week and felt safe and secure and very welcomed in her casa. She even gifted us a fresh mango, which was the best we ever had. Her friendliness and helpfulness were greatly appreciated. We felt like good amigas by our last day, and that is something that is very special to us. Muchas gracias Elsa for helping to make our 1st week in Costa Rica wonderful.

We were a group of seven and stayed at Vanessa’s place for two nights. The house looked exactly like the photos and was very spacious — we never felt cramped. The surroundings were peaceful and quiet, perfect for unwinding. The only downside was the location, as it’s a bit out of the way, but everything else was perfect. If you’re looking for a place to relax and chill, this is it!
