Steve & Dianne at LaPaz Waterfall Gardens

Welcome to our Atenas Vacation Rental Villa Doughty! We are Steve and Dianne Doughty and we fell into the vacation rental business coincidentally when we were looking for a second home to retire in. We traveled to many countries during our search, but none were quite like Costa Rica.

When we visited Atenas in 2011, we instantly “fell in love” – especially with the weather and the locals. The people are incredibly gracious and welcoming. And there are so many things to see and do in Costa Rica: there is white water rafting excursions, zip-line tours over jungles, beautiful beaches, many cascading waterfalls, five Volcano National Parks, and several other Costa Rica National Parks, and so much more!

While we enjoy our “retirement” home throughout the year, we also love to share it with other families and guests. Also having a home in North Carolina, we frequently enjoy visiting family and friends in the USA. However we do try to spend several months in Atenas each year!

Our Promise: To provide a positively private paradise for you and your family and or friends. We hope you enjoy your visit to Atenas and love your stay at Villa Doughty as much as we do!
