A great gem in La Fortuna

This place is a dream! The view of the volcano, the beautiful trees surrounding the house make you feel like you’re in the jungle. It rained everyday we were there and it didn’t matter because it felt cozy and quiet. The house had plenty of space for 2 couples and 2 kids, and probably would’ve fit 2 more kids. The neighborhood is really safe as it is a gated community with an armed guard at the gate. We never felt unsafe. The house was spotless when we got there and everything worked. No issues whatsoever. Would book this place again for sure.

Clean, Stress Free check in and 5min drive to La Fortuna

Our family with adult children enjoyed our stay. The security guards for the gated community were nice. Clean place and relaxing environment. Quiet. One of our group really likes to have a dishwasher (and there isn’t one) but the rest of us didn’t mind handwashing. We were very happy.

Lovely retreat

We chose to stay here as opposed to downtown La Fortuna for a quiet retreat. Well-appointed, comfortable home and with two living rooms which was nice for the family to spread out. It was a safe neighborhood, right along a river, with lovely surroundings. There was a sweet little restaurant within walking distance, a grocery store about a mile away, and uber trips to town usually cost about 5-7.

No title

When I brought up this survey, I could not see what the categories were, so I just put 5 for all. We loved the house with the upstairs terrace and listening to the water.Things we would have liked.The directions were a bit confusing so I am glad we got there during the day. Maybe improve those a bit.Second. You had us put toilet paper in the basket which I do understand. I would have liked for there to be a couple extra small garbage bags in the bathrooms so we could change them out. I found the smell was bad and hated to go into the bathroom.

CLEAN & COMFORTABLE! A GREAT Stay!

This was a last minute short stay, but we will definitely be back. The well maintained home was SUPER Clean & Comfortable. The location was GREAT. We felt very safe and we had EXCELLENT Communication with the owner/manager. The layout was very convenient with the master bedroom and ensuite bathroom on the 1st floor and 2 guest bedrooms on the 2nd floor with a very nice shared bathroom. We LOVED the large kitchen table with 6 chairs and the comfy living room furniture. Bath towels were fluffy, soft, and absorbent. Fast internet. Large laundry room with sink & stack washer /dryer that worked well Thank you Pablo. We appreciate how much you care.

Home in the woods

The best home you can imagine in La Fortuna! Listen to the music of birds, the Rio Burio, and intermittent rains near Arenal. Enjoy so many amazing touches: excellent design, a wonderful coffee maker with some coffee on hand, a bench and a hammock protected from the rain, a community swimming pool, a sense of security, great bathrooms, everything works, and it's so comfortable with ceiling fans, great linens, and lots of windows. Pablo responds very quickly and can make recommendations in the local area. We felt so lucky to find this place and never wanted to leave!

Our group of 8 stayed comfortably in this modern 2 story home. The air conditioned rooms kept us comfortable and sleeping well. The bathrooms were spacious, only difficulty was operating the shower controls to get a warm experience. Overall a nice home in a pretty setting

Pablo was very good at communication and answered all questions promptly. The check in process was seamless and the home was stocked with all necessary items. We were all delighted with the shampoos, lotions, soaps and laundry facilities. There is a sitting area downstairs and upstairs which allows for individual space and one bedroom is well equipped to sleep children. The air conditioning is very welcomed, worked very well and was quiet. You need to really like very firm beds (was hard for some to sleep) and not mind constant neighbourhood dogs barking(day and well into the evening). It is a great location and we booked tours through Jacamar and they picked us up at the home. That was a wonderful bonus and we had great tours.
