Rental homes are available in most of Costa Rica's most popular destinations and beach areas. They are usually privately owned and have a minimum stay requirement of seven nights. These properties come in all sizes and budgets, and may include (at additional cost) the services of a chef, maid or even a babysitter. If you're looking for luxury, you won't have to skimp; villas may have Jacuzzis, plunge pools, state-of-the-art sound systems and plush bedding. Locations are often as spectacular as those touted by some of the country's most renowned hotels. Rental homes are appropriate for families, a group of friends or anyone else looking to stay together in a more private accommodation.
