3 BR – 2 BA house and casita for rent in Atenas, Costa RicaAvailable April 15, 2026 – November 15, 2026 (possibly longer) $1800 per monthConveniently located living spaces – less than 3 km to “downtown” Atenas (whichclaims to have “the worlds’ most perfect climate!” Average daily temps between65F and 85F all year make both heating and air conditioning unnecessary!) – 3bedrooms, 2 full baths with generous walk-in tiled showers, 2 living rooms, 2 fullkitchens, and three separate “ranchos” (outdoor living spaces that are protectedfrom rain.) total approx. 1800 sq ft.The main house has two bedrooms (queen mattresses) with the most private andintimate rancho (9’ x 11’) opening directly off the master bedroom. A cozy guestbedroom, full bath with shower, lots of living space, and a full kitchen make up therest of the main house.Directly behind the kitchen of the main house is the largest of the three ranchos –(15’ x 18.’) A covered walkway leads from there to the smallest of the threeranchos (11’ x 13’) directly off the kitchen of the casita. The casita rancho hasdelightful views of forested hills to the south. To the east, the view is through theback portion of the property, and at night, you can see the sprawling lights ofAlajuela and other suburbs on the floor of the Central Valley.The house and casita are situated near the front of a narrow but deep property –almost 4 acres – which is mostly covered in coffee, banana, plantain, avocado,mango, and tangerine trees, and largely shaded by much bigger trees, so walkingthrough it feels like walking in a park. The main trail leads 800’ down a gentleslope to the confluence of a small river (which flows all year) and a smaller creekwhich, during the rainy season, cascades down 20’ of tumbled rock making a smallwaterfall. At the far end of the trail, closest to the river and the waterfall, ameditation bench awaits your contemplative visits.Solar heated hot water is provided to both the main house and casita. Rentincludes internet and all other utilities as well as bi-monthly cleaning service andtwice-weekly visits by a gardener who will water all the plants. A laundry roomwith north-American style washer and electric dryer is conveniently located off themain rancho between the house and the casita.Atenas is often cited as one of the most popular of all destinations for expatsmoving to – or considering – a more permanent life in Costa Rica. There are threefactors: “The world’s most perfect climate,” easy access (to “big city” offerings inSan Jose, Pacific beaches, and the international airport,) and a wonderfullywelcoming “pura vida” vibe from the locals.
Application with references required, as well as a lease for the duration of therental. Non-smokers only, and small pets will be considered, but only with additional security deposit.
