The host generously stocked this newly built house. She welcomed us with fresh coconut and gave us a tour of the house. She was always available when we had questions and gave us tips for visiting several places of interest. Comfortable bedding, brand new kitchen and appliances. This is truly a gem with the view of volcano in La Fortuna.

Gaby was excellent from the start. She recommended itineraries and tours before our arrival. Even offering to help book anything we needed. Once we arrived, we were greeted by Gaby and a beautiful platter of fruit and coconuts. The house was incredibly clean. Like mentioned in many other reviews there are dogs around however, our sound machines drown them out. The house had absolutely everything that we needed, and Gaby was available if needed. Would definitely stay again.

Gaby’s home was perfect for our base while exploring La Fortuna. Gaby and Victor greeted us like family when we showed up. The house is perfect. Beds are comfy, plenty of space. Easy walks into town. Easy drives to go wherever you want to explore. Gaby was always available for communication and offered to set anything up or just give recommendations. DO NOT PASS on this place. We will be back here next time in La Fortuna.

Our stay was WONDERFUL! This is the place to stay if you want to be close to La fortuna town. We walked into town for all our food. Gaby & Victor were the best hosts you could ask for. Quick to respond, helped book excursions and even has snacks for us when we arrived! There were 4 adults in our group and we felt so welcomed and taken care of. The house was extremely clean and had comfortable beds and pillows. Don’t look any farther, book Gaby’s Home!

Fantastic Stay in La Fortuna

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Gaby and Victor’s hospitality during our stay in La Fortuna. From the moment we arrived, we genuinely felt welcomed. Gaby greeted us with a homemade Costa Rican dish that was both incredibly delicious and such a thoughtful way to begin our stay.Their home was perfect-clean, comfortable, everything you need for a home away from home. Morning coffee on the porch was the best way to start the day. Location offered an easy walk to shops and restaurants.Gaby and Victor went above and beyond, and it is our hope that we may return again someday soon.

Gaby was a very generous host. She greeted us at the property with chilled coconuts to drink and a beautiful fresh fruit platter. She also provided us with some excellent local coffee and a yummy homemade local Costa Rican dessert. The house is very clean and gorgeous and well furnished with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. It can comfortably accommodate up to 3 couples. A nice mini-market is only two blocks away and a full supermarket only 3 blocks away and there are a lot of nice restaurants and sodas within walking distance (15 minute walk into the heart of the town). The only negative is one of the neighbors has two small outside dogs that bark very loudly day and night at anything coming down the street, and a lot of wild animals/cars/people come down the street. If loud dog barking bothers you, you won’t enjoy the property.

The photos do not do this home justice! The home is clean and modern with all of the dishes and kitchen supplies you might need. The sheets and towels were crisp and white just like a 5 star hotel. We spent mornings and evenings in the rocking chairs on the covered front porch enjoying the weather and view of Arenal volcano. Also, the parking is covered and gated allowing us to park next to the house out of any potential rain. There is a small convenience store around the corner that we walked to for milk, bread, snacks and small items. We were able to walk a few blocks north into the town center were all of the restaurants and Sodas are located as well as a Central Park to people watch and enjoy the surroundings. The host made us a delicious treat for our arrival (which was wonderful after our long travel day) and gave us a homemade treat to take with us when we departed. This home exceeded our expectations and I would definitely stay here again.

Gabby met us for check in with some refreshing coconut water which was a delight. The home is very close to downtown La Fortuna and we were able to walk to the church square, shopping, and restaurants. We did some cooking in the kitchen and it could be stocked a bit better for cooking, there were exactly 6 of each utensil and a few extras would be nice. A dishwasher would have made things a bit more convenient as well, but we do understand that it's not the norm in Costa Rica.The only constructive criticism I have is that the furniture in the living area was extremely firm, so much that you wouldn't want to spend much time relaxing inside. We had a good stay and would recommend the property to others.
