    We are coming to CR to find just the right place for a home. We plan on renting in different locations while we scout the areas.

    BUT – we have a Golden Retriever…….

    Can we find rentals that are dog-friendly????

    Of course you can, please ask whichever B&B you’re interested in!

    Google search “pet friendly costa rica B&B ” and you’ll find lots of information.

    Please also see Dog Friendly B&B’s at:

    Are you looking for long term rentals or B&B’s. B&B’s can be pretty costly if you plan on spending some time at each locale. Are you are thinking about staying a month or a week at each stop? What areas are you thinking about? We are building a house and rental cabins between Dominical and San Isidro de General. The first cabin should be ready by the end of March and we are very dog friendly. We have two Goldendoodles and they love meeting new friends. It will be a totally furnished one bedroom with a wonderful view and cool nights to sleep well. I am guessing that you are moving permanently since you are bringing your dog. Shipping dogs is very costly so if you are just planning on staying a while and going back you might want to leave your dog with a family member or friend. You can do it on your own and save a lot and we can put you in contact with a lady that has done it frequently. To rent a house most Tico’s require a minimum of 3 months rental and they come only minimally furnished. The other thing that you might want to check out is VRBO ( vacation rentals by owner) or local real estate agents. Jimmy Drews at Caldwell Banker in Dominical can help you find a place to rent short term or long term in the southern pacific area. He can also get you better deals on rental cars than you can get on your own. Roca Verde Hotel in Dominical is also dog friendly and the owner has two Goldens himself. You just need to tell him that you are bringing one with you. We stayed there for 10 days when we first got here back in October. We have been dreaming about our move to CR for the past 12 years and have finally made our dream come true.
