Fabulous pool area

We were a family of 6- 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 girls 4.5 and 7.5 yrs old. We loved the colourful house. There was plenty of room on the main floor- 3 sitting areas. The bedrooms were great! But the best part was the pool with the waterfall. My grandkids loved it so much! I think we went swimming 3 times a day.! Now the cons. There is no hot water in the kitchen to wash the dishes. Also,the oven dial markings have disappeared. So it was a bit difficult when you wanted to use the oven. Other than that we lived the place. Especially the grandkids!

Perfect for a family vacay in La Fortuna

Casa Turquesa was a wonderful place for our family to stay for our vacation in the La Fortuna area. We felt safe in the gated property. The pool was perfect for the kids. The decor was elegant and charming at the same time. And you can’t beat the location! It’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city bit just a quick 5-minute drive into town. Highly recommend!

amazing vacation home

We had 6 adults and 1 2 year old. Home was perfect for us. Beds comfortable, house very clean, set up perfectly. The pool was amazing which we enjoyed daily. Proximity to restaurants and sites was perfect. Yes there was traffic noise but no big deal, got used to it. Only slight downfall the tub had no plug for bath, owner stated it was broken but never did get fixed. With a 2 year old not being able to bath after long days it was a bit of issue but managed with the shower hose. As well had to go buy extra paper towels and some spices (garlic, oregano, oil etc) again no big deal. would be nice to have lounge chairs outside. However none of these issues would take away the amazing experience we had. Carolina was very quick to respond to any questions and very kind. Pura Vida Costa Rica we will be back!!

Very Nice House Great Stay

Five of us stayed here for a week in June. Me, wife, 2 kids, and my mother. This property fit all our needs. I think it was nicer than the pictures. Internet was fast. Location was good(only 5 minutes from town center). House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was furnished well. Favorite part was of course the pool, swim up bar, and waterfall. We will book again if ever in the area!

A Perfect Place for a Friend Group Trip

We had a wonderful time at this VRBO! The space was very clean, comfortable, and cute. We loved the pool and swim up bar. There were pool towels and pool toys for guests, which was a nice added touch. We did run out of toilet paper and there was one less towel than we needed, but Carolina had someone come bring the supplies we needed on the same day, which was wonderful. Would absolutely stay here again and would recommend to any larger group (we were 7 friends), but do keep in mind, if you have more than 6 people, someone will have to sleep on a couch! Thank you again :)

Adorable Home Close to town

Overall, the property is PERFECT for a small group. 3 bedrooms, master suite is huge! Nice living space and the grounds are meticulously well kept and provides plenty of outdoor fun and space with the pool and grilling area. It is exceptionally close to town which was nice only taking five minutes to drive to town. I cannot say enough good things about the home. Only negatives would be… And this is being open and honest, several lightbulbs need to be replaced, they do not provide any soaps or shampoo/conditioner for the bathrooms. And only one towel per person, no face rags to wash with if you enjoy cooking as we did by providing breakfast every morning , it is a very practical and well stocked kitchen with utensils but their knives need to be sharpened. Only salt and a little sugar provided so you will need to provide your own oil, spices, coffee. The next time we stay in La Fortuna, we would definitely consider renting this VRBO again in addition to the above, I did notice in the laundry room. There were two air mattresses for overflow of kids. Several games were provided for entertainment as well. I hope this helps anyone in the future. Looking to rent a VRBO in the La Fortuna area. There is also a chalkboard upstairs that has all of their local recommendations for activities and places to eat, which was nice. I highly recommend the tour company called Red Lava and one guide Franklin is extremely educated with all history, wildlife, Flora, and Fauna, as well as Hilarious!

We had a wonderful time at Casa Turquesa! It was in a great location. Was convenient to town to get to the grocery stores, sodas (small local restaurants and convenient to many of the area attractions like hiking, ziplining, waterfalls, hot springs, etc. House was well stocked and comfortable for our family of 6. The pool was an awesome bonus. We spent our evenings out there relaxing after a day of touring the area. Owner was very responsive to any questions/concerns we had. We like to visit different areas, but if we were to return, we would definitely rent at this location again.

Great house near LaFortuna area

This house is spacious with nice area around it. The best part is private swimming pool with little waterfall and wet bar. Inside the house there are 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms although one of them is located downstairs near the kitchen. Location is close to main road which helps to quickly get to all major LaFortuna attractions but also a bit noisy because of passing cars. Overall it's a great property in LaFortuna big enough to host a group of 4-6 people and with nice flat parking space in front of it
