This location was so majestic and healing. We hosted a yoga retreat for 12 people comfortably and our guests shared about having a life changing week/experience staying there. Love Love Love the property and the home you created and everything it has to offer. The waterfall and swimming hole on the property is secluded and healing. The property itself had all the amenities we needed to cook for 12 people. Will certainly be back!!

A stunning hidden away location in the heart of the rainforest. Wonderful natural sounds. Kent is an excellent host who was prompt to answer any queries. We loved out stay at Casa Corazon del Rio. The (guided) hike to El Soto waterfall was a highlight.

“This place is affordable and great for large groups. Lots of open air, plenty of seating and space to hang out. It sits right in the jungle, next to several waterfalls. Would stay here again.”

"A perfect place to stay, with a lot of style, very comfortable rooms, full of nature around. The manager was always very attentive with what we need, very good communication. Near the house there is a river where we had an amazing time. "

“Kent's place is an amazing open air style wooden jungle home where you feel right in the forest but have all the comfort of a modern home with a great kitchen, comfortable and insect free rooms, and hot water showers. Within a very short walking distance is an incredible waterfall with a swimming hole which adults and children loved exploring during our stay. The home is close enough to a great grocery store (Elizabeth) but far enough from others that we didn't see a soul nearby just various amazing insects and forest birds. Toucans frequently flew over or perched in nearby trees. I would love to bring back another family group or corporate group as this place is most definitely the most interesting AirBNB I have stayed in. ”"A perfect place to stay, with a lot of style, very comfortable rooms, full of nature around.

Corazon del Rio was a unique and rewarding experience. Our group of 8 rented the whole place. We’re from New England and wanted a different experience which is exactly what we got. The house is off the beaten path and secluded yet still in close range of beaches, restaurants, and excursions. The amount of wildlife around you is incredible, and we enjoyed cooking and relaxing in the outdoor living area. The bedrooms were well sealed off from bugs and although there is no AC, the temperature up in the hills dropped off comfortably at night. Kent and his property manager were very responsive and helpful to anything we needed. I’d recommend this place if you’re looking for a unique experience and a little adventure.

Amazing place—unlike any other. You are in for a jungle adventure if you decide to stay here. The open-air layout of the house and the short hikes to waterfalls nearby make it so special, and you have the falls and swimming holes all to yourselves! Kent was wonderful and quick to respond. We loved our stay!

Casa Corazon del Rio is really beautiful, located up in the hills above Dominical. Peaceful, remote, Close to waterfalls and other eco adventures. Kent was easy to communicate with and they emailed a very informative welcome packet ahead of time with all kinds of helpful info. Highly recommended!

A great remote place for an adventure. Make sure you visit next door La Ceiba and take a tour the waterfall, which you will get pretty much to yourself, is a must. Thanks Randall for the tour. A four by four is essential but as we travelled all over we found only the best places are accessible that way.

We loved staying at Corazon Del Rio! We enjoyed staying out in the jungle and the sound of a lovely river going by made for a tranquil place to spend our visit in the Puntarenas area. I like its location in respect to the local attractions, for example the Nauyaca waterfalls, Parque Nacional Marino Ballena which is the location of the famous whale tail beach at Playa Uvita, Dominical Beach for awesome surfing, and just a short drive to the best park in Costa Rica, Manuel Antonio! The property management was very responsive! They helped us feel welcome right away. I highly recommend visiting La Ceiba EcoAdventures property next-door to take the waterfall tour that is offered there! I highly recommend this place!

Thanks for being a great host Kent. I very much appreciated your quick response to my last minute booking. Your place was truly incredible. I felt so comfortable and at home and also so close to nature. The indoor river flowing through the downstairs was a highlight for me. Not only was it refreshing to wade into, but having that little heart shaped wading pool at the end felt so good to relax in. Corazon del Rio had everything I needed, hammocks, couches, a comfortable bed, and a huge open air modern kitchen that seemed to have all the essentials. It was nice to know that the small town of Plantanillo was only 5 minutes away. I did enjoy the little bakery there. With the river and cascading water falls surrounding your place, I didn’t even take the time to search out the other waterfalls in the area. I felt totally immersed in the natural tropical surroundings. Falling asleep at night to the sounds of that river was amazing! Ps I saw three Tucans this morning while eating breakfast in the open dining patio area. So hard to leave! Such great memories.... Thank you so much Kent. Pura Vida & Viva la Corazon del Rio ! Alan

At first I thought I should stay at the beach, but this location is so much better! More beautiful with river and waterfalls just a few steps away, an inviting place to spend time, away from tourist trappings, close to amazing waterfalls—so peaceful. There is a heart and passion here that is evident. This is what an exotic AirBnB experience should be!
