If you’re a fan of outdoor adventures, Costa Rica needs to move to the top of your travel list. The country is a tad smaller than West Virginia, but it contains cloud forests, jungles, volcanoes, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It also happens to have some seriously cool vacation rentals. Whether you want to sleep near the water or up in the trees, Airbnb has a listing to fit the bill. Here, we’ve rounded up some of the absolute best (and most unique) Airbnbs in Costa Rica—get ready to bookmark ‘em all.

Modern villa surrounded by the jungle

Uvita, Costa Rica

6 guests/$668 per night

Tucked away in the misty mountains with views of the ocean, this three-bedroom villa is the ultimate getaway for anyone looking to disconnect. The common areas feature a gorgeous indoor-outdoor design, with an infinity pool and tons of terraces for even more immersion in nature. When it’s time to wind down, the bathrooms and bedrooms look like they were transplanted from a 5-star hotel. What guests say: “Speechless from the moment I first walked in! Such an amazing stay! The pictures are what you see is what you get. AC works like a charm and kept the room nice and cool.”

Luxurious treehouse with ocean views

Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

2 guests/$227 per night

Costa Rica has no shortage of treehouse rentals, but we love this one for its walls of windows, ocean and jungle views, and eco-friendliness. The listing features a king-size bedroom, living room, fully stocked kitchen, and spacious deck with a plunge pool—and those aforementioned views. What guests say: “We loved our stay at the Green House. The place feels like a treehouse and we enjoyed hanging out in the plunge pool after a full day of activities. Our host took great care of us and was available 24/7 to answer questions.”

Glamping pod up in the treetops

Uvita, Costa Rica

2 guests/$170 per night

These glamping pods are like high-end bird’s nests—if nests came with spas, pools, and fitness centers, that is. Those amenities are shared amongst the four units, but you can always find privacy in your open-air bedroom when the time comes. You’ll probably be too distracted by the jungle views to notice any other humans, anyway. What guests say: “AMAZING PROPERTY! The pods are perfect for relaxing and finding your peace. It's like glamping in the rainforest. Each pod has its own ensuite so are very private, but still feel open to the jungle.”
