Although the entire country of Costa Rica is a world-renowned vacation playground, Pavones was put on the map because of its world-class surfing. However, it takes the dedicated tourist to take the time to experience the southwest tip.

Virtually every tourist who does venture into the Southern Zone makes a promise to return. Those who have returned to Pavones have continued to rent beach houses or ocean-view properties. Still others have built showplace homes close to the water's edge.

A visionary few have purchased large farms at reasonable prices for future development. No matter which type of individual you are, Pavones promises unlimited activities and adventure. Not only do we have horseback rides on the beach, adventurous hikes to waterfalls, world-record offshore and onshore fishing and world-famous surfing, but we also have the living accommodations to suit your pocketbook.

Pavones is for the adventuresome individuals and families so please do not expect 5-star accommodations, complete with room service, because those do not exist in Pavones. Everyone who lives and visits here, however, has found it to be a safe place for themselves and their children - a nature paradise to experience and share with their families and friends. We hope you take the time to come to Pavones, Costa Rica and visit our friendly multi-lingual real estate agents and staff at Pavones Best Rentals . We look forward to meeting you!

 

Why Pavones?

Pavones is located in the southwest tip of Costa Rica. Just coming to Pavones is an adventure in itself! (For more information on how to get here, we invite you to read the "Directions to Pavones.")

Pavones has historically been the adventure spot for world-class surfers. With one of the longest left-hand breaks in the world, surfers of all skill levels can find the "perfect" wave.

Recently, however, non-surfers have discovered the relaxed atmosphere that is Pavones.

Here you will NOT find traffic. Yes, when the surf is "up," surfers from around the world come to experience the waves, but no, there is no traffic.

Here you will NOT find high density subdivisions. Yes, you will find friendly neighbors, separated by fruit trees of mangos, papayas, starfruit and coconuts, but seclusion is the norm.

Here you will NOT find the clouds of no-see-ums and mosquitoes that you might find in other coastal environments. The sloping contour of the terrain leaves no standing water, no marsh grass, and therefore few breeding grounds for those pesky insects.

Here you will NOT find high heels and hair dryers. Swimsuits, bare feet and ocean-wet hair is the fashion. Beachside, casual living is the lifestyle here, with the surfers waiting vigilantly for the next perfect wave.

Here you will NOT find shops with the latest Parisian fashions, but you will find the necessities of everyday living. All the food, basic medicines, swimsuits or living accommodations of various affordable prices can be found in Pavones.

We look forward to helping you find that "perfect rental."

 

Costa Rica's Nature

Costa Rica has become a premier destination for vacationers from around the globe. Located in Central America between Nicaragua and Panama, this naturalist's paradise has become a favorite place for people seeking a variety of adventures. From the desert-like dry and periodically windy climate of the northwest region of Guanacaste to the rainforests of south-central Costa Rica and from the western Pacific surfing coast to the coral reefs and sandy beaches of the eastern Caribbean, Costa Rica provides a rich variety of adventures for everyone.

With over 850 birds species, Costa Rica has become a premium bird-watching destination. Frequently spotted animals seen at various locations include sloths, crocodiles, scarlet macaws, hummingbirds, anteaters, monkeys, tucans, leaf cutting ants, tree boas, iguanas, blue crowned motmots, and jaguars, to name a few. Over 27 percent of Costa Rica is designated as national park, biological reserve, wildlife refuge or some other category of protected area. Somewhere between half a million and a million species of flora and fauna; hundreds of thousands of species of insects; 2,000 species of orchids; 208 species of mammals; countless thousands of species of moths and butterflies inhabit this small country. This represents five percent of all of the plant and animal species on the planet! Volcanoes are one of Costa Rica's most notable geographic features.

There are over 112 volcanic formations across Costa Rica; seven are currently active. Two currently active volcanoes (Poas and Irazu) are located near San Jose. But the best place to see active volcanoes is in the North -- Arenal, which can best be viewed at night while displaying its natural fireworks and Ricon de la Vieja, which can be viewed while soaking in hot springs.

There are few places in the world that offer so many different opportunities for warm water kayaking and rafting. World class sportfishing is a daily occurrence at Golfito Sailfish Lodge, located 30 minutes by boat from Pavones. Multiple world records for both offshore and inshore fish have been captured by the Roy's Zancudo Fishing Lodge, 15 miles north of Pavones. If you like tranquility, beauty, and constant adventure, then visiting paradise may be just what you need. Come visit us at Pavones Best Rentals and we can help you find the vacation rental that is just right for you.

Pavones Best Rentals is located 30 minutes before you get to Pavones before Pilon, in the hills of Cuervito. Coming from Comte towards Pilon, 500 meters past the school, La Escuela de Cuervito, look for the second white fence on the right. Our office is in a home in the housing subdivision behind the iron-gated road with painted concrete-stucco pillars holding the gate.
