If safety, nature, adventure, and luxury are your top priorities for a hot getaway down south then consider a family vacation in Costa Rica. If you want the convenience and luxury of a resort but you prefer the intimacy and privacy of a family home then Pura Vida House should be at the top of your list for your family’s trip to Costa Rica.

Where Safety Meets Convenience and Luxury

Located inside the upscale gated community of Hacienda Pinilla Beach Resort, we provide 24/7 security at our villa. Our all-inclusive vacation rentals in Costa Rica includes housekeeping and laundry service once per week, with everything you need for a family vacation. We provide towels, beach towels, linens, hair dryers, security safe, organic toiletries, cooking and dining essentials, and Costa Rican coffee for the entirety of your stay. Our guests have use of the outdoor gas grill on the terrace, which is perfect for those family barbeques.

Tell the kids not to worry – there’s high speed internet at the villa! That’s if they even want to stay indoors. We provide two mountain bikes to take advantage of the 45 kilometers of trails on site. And some of our younger guests say their favorite memories of their vacation at Pura Vida House was zipping around the massive resort property on our golf cart and seeing all the iguanas, birds, and howler monkeys!

Why Pura Vida House is Great for Families

We offer 24/7 concierge services to help you make the most of your trip. Our attentive service is made for family vacations in Costa Rica! We help arrange tours, vehicle rentals, private transfers, and additional treats like in-home massages or private chef services. Additionally, you will have access to local knowledge and tips provided by your hosts, Mani and Sindy. From your pick-up to your drop off at the airport, you’ll feel like family at Pura Vida House.

Our large outdoor swimming pool and terrace for dining al fresco is a feature that really adds to the family vacation experience at Pura Vida House. Don’t feel like cooking? Our private chef can be available within a one-day notice for our guest’s convenience, and they can cater to all the picky eaters in your group! If you want to go out for dinner at the Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club or into the town of Tamarindo for a romantic sunset dinner, we can provide reliable childcare and babysitting services.

Guest here have the option to rent the four bedroom villa or add on the additional two bedrooms located on the other side of the swimming pool for a 4,500 square foot, six bedroom luxury villa rental, which can sleep up to 17 guests! This way you can invite the whole family – grandparents, cousins, in-laws, or travel with your friends and their family.

Fun for Everyone in the Family

You can always find the right activity for everyone at Pura Vida House. That’s because our guests have exclusive access to the Hacienda Pinilla Beach Resort, where they provide a variety of activities, including the Beach Club, where you and your family can go swimming in their massive infinity pool, take a yoga class or use the gym, or enjoy their two bars and restaurant. The luxury resort also gives guests easy access to three beautiful Costa Rican beaches including Playa Mansita, PlayaAvellanas, and Playa Langosta, where surfing, snorkeling, and exploring makes for a perfect day at the beach.

Some of the activities available on site are perfect for your family’s Costa Rica vacation. Spend the morning taking surfing lessons and the afternoon horseback riding along the countryside and beach while monkeys howl in the trees. Use the two bikes provided by us and rent a few more for a family mountain biking adventure around the scenic trails. In the evenings, families can enjoy a game of tennis or pickleball at the fully lighted courts. There is plenty to see and do without even leaving the surrounding property when you stay at Pura Vida House!

Of course, there is plenty to see and do outside of the villa and resort as well! We can help arrange all your tours and day trips including exploring national parks full of biodiversity to checking out the active surf town of Tamarindo.

The adventurous family can hike or mountain bike around an active volcano with steaming geysers and bubbling volcanic mud pits, then soak in natural mineral hot springs. Discover the magic of the rainforest by crossing hanging bridges high in the tree canopy, giving you a glimpse into one of the most diverse spots on the planet. Experience the thrill of whitewater rafting or tubing in a tropical river, or rappelling down a rushing waterfall. And of course, everyone must experience zip lining in Costa Rica. It’s an adventure lover’s paradise! If these exciting tours don’t get the kids off of their phones and into the moment, nothing will!

The water loving family will have a lot of activities to pick and choose from. There’s gliding along the coast at sunset in a catamaran, swimming beneath a beautiful waterfall, snorkeling under the sea, and deep sea fishing all within reach.

The nature loving family will feel like they are in paradise. If you come at just the right time, you and your family can witness a once in a lifetime experience – the Ostional Giant Turtle Arribada. It only occurs once every 45 days! Those lucky enough to witness this prehistoric event will walk on the beach in the early dawn light with thousands of Olive Ridley sea turtles crawling up onto Ostional Beach to nest. It is definitely a sight to behold!

The animal sanctuary and eco adventure park is about 90 minutes from Pura Vida House, and a great way to see native Costa Rican wildlife if you or members of your family would rather not hike. Here, you and your family can see rescued wildlife up close, such as jaguars, ocelots, toucans, butterflies, monkeys, and sloths!

Family Costa Rica Trip Review

Don’t just take our word on what makes Pura Vida House a perfect place for family vacations in Costa Rica. Read what Culture260151 from Idaho, USA wrote on TripAdvisor on August 10, 2021:

“We wanted a vacation for two families that offered a beautiful setting, some adventure, some luxury, some pampering and a variety of experiences for each person to choose from. We selected The Pura Vida house based on the excellent reviews and we were not disappointed.

Mani and Sindy are engaged and committed to making the experience everything it can be for all involved...We participated in activities and tours arranged by Mani and Sindy. It was on time, every time. Even when we would have a special request or change in plans, we were cheerfully accommodated.

There were opportunities to relax by the pool, visit the beach club and enjoy many amenities like the included bikes and electric golf carts to get around. We enjoyed have the two full kitchens and beautifully appointed rooms in the two houses.

Safety is always a concern while vacationing. At this property, one feels completely safe.”
