The property was very pleasant and clean, with beautiful outdoor space. We loved the location - removed from the hustle and bustle of the town but close enough to get there and to surrounding activities easily. Management was very responsive to any issues or questions. Would definitely stay again.

This house is lovely! It is a few minutes outside of town. It is just far enough away for some peace and quiet but close enough for easy access to everything in town. The house and property were immaculate. The kitchen has everything we needed - stovetop, toaster oven, coffee maker. There was also a microwave and plenty of other kitchen tools like pots, pans, cutting boards, strainers, mixing bowls, etc. There is a washer and dryer in the shed. The washer seemed brand new. They both functioned perfectly. The hosts were easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this property and would stay there again if I return to La Fortuna!

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay! The cabin had everything we needed; it was close to activities and dining. We had a little trouble finding the location because we did not have the Waze App and the Pin from the VRBO website brought us somewhere else.

Property was as described. It is a ways out of town, so you do need transportation to get to restaurants and activities. But it has a lovely yard to have morning coffee or star gazing at night. On Saturday night, the neighbors were noisy, but they're younger people and that's to be expected. It was quiet the rest of our stay. I would recommend good earplugs if you're sensitive to sound, like me. The birds wake EARLY, and an eye mask was helpful because it gets bright early too. Had all of the amenities we needed.

Property was calm, quiet and peaceful. It had ac which made it comfortable to be during warm humid climate. The property was only minutes away from center of La fortuna where shops and restaurants were located. We had minor inconvenience with the bathroom, but host was quick to address. We had a great time at the location!

LaFortuna Cabin

It was a great place to experience LaFortuna. It was close enough to enjoy the restaurants and shops downtown without having to deal with traffic and noise. There were plenty of nearby soda's that were also delicious. It was only a short drive to the Waterfall and the hot springs.

This place was so amazing. It had all of the comforts of home, was nice and quite in a great neighborhood. It was close enough to participate in all of the tourist attractions and far enough away to give us the experience of living in the area.
