Great property and location

My wife and I stayed here with my parents and my brother and the space was perfect for us. The pool and hot tub were great and the view was absolutely breathtaking. The road up the hill to the property can seem a little intimidating at first but it's really not bad at all. The location is nice and secluded and close enough to La Fortuna without being too far. Overall we loved our stay here

Amazing

We stayed first week in March. The location and view was amazing. Beds were comfortable. Several good restaurants nearby and decent variety store for supplies at the bottom of the hill otherwise a 30 minute drive to the supermarket in Fortuna. The actual owner, Jim, is who you deal with and he was an amazing resource answering the many questions I had before coming and while there about local attractions. He provided super descriptive directions for the final part of the trip including pictures and even a video of the drive up the mountain. This came in handy when my phone ran out of power and we lost google maps use. Found the place without it easily. Didn’t really need 4 wheel drive but the extra clearance of an SUV probably helped as it is a bumpy road up the mountain but really no problem. The weather was great. Used the pool everyday. And it was nice to have Netflix and Apple Tv for the evenings. All in all we loved our stay there and would certainly stay there again if ever back in CR

Beautiful views. Could be cleaner

Although a little out of the way from a lot of the activities we did the views from the house of the lake and the volcano were beautiful. Host was very responsive and provided a lot of good information for our stay. The only criticism that I would give of the house is the overall cleanliness. The kitchen was quite dirty. It didn’t appear that the countertops had been wiped off. The table cloth was stained as well as some other linens. The pots and pans were not great for cooking although they got the job done. Body wash was provided in bathrooms but no shampoo or conditioner. Would have been nice to have some beach towels available. Would also be a bonus to have access to a washer/dryer. Easy fixes. Overall great house and host.

Beautiful home!

I hate I can’t give this a 5/5 but feel like I would have wanted to know a few things. The road to get to the house was in TERRIBLE condition. We worried if we would make it each trip back up the mountain. Host did mention during our stay it is going to be worked on soon. However this should have been disclosed prior to our trip. The house is very nice and OMG the property landscaping is to die for. It is pretty isolated and off the beaten path though. Also the beds are hard as boards. Other than that the owner was very nice and if road is in good shape I would have stayed again.

Great stay for our family

This was a great rental option in the Arenal area. Jim the owner was very communicative from beginning to end. We were greeted in person by the host who went through some details about the house and overall stay. The property is kept immaculate (which is hard to do) from the grounds to the cleanliness of the house. We appreciated the little details such as throw blankets in the lounge sofa, extra towels and blankets, ping pong table, remodeled master bathroom to name a few. Yes some of the window screens need repairing (which I’m sure is a constant task) and the wifi could be stronger but this is by far the best rental option in all of our multiple trips to this area. We were very pleasantly surprised and only wished to have been able to stay longer. Bugs were not an issue as long as we kept lights to a minimum as it is a cloud forest after all. Lastly, there are a few reviews where complaints are noted about the caretaker of the property living onsite (building across from the house). Not only was she hardly visible during our stay but she also helped do some laundry for us. We are looking forward to booking this property again next year.

Magical vacation in Costa Rica

Our vacation stay in Costa Rica was an unforgettable experience, characterized by stunning views of the volcano and fantastic amenities. The privacy we enjoyed allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the serene and peaceful environment. The local wildlife was abundant and diverse; I was thrilled to add over 25 new birds to my life list. The beautiful flowers added vibrant colors to the landscape, enhancing the overall tranquility and beauty of our surroundings. It was a perfect blend of nature and comfort, creating a truly idyllic getaway. Moreover, the location was incredibly convenient for numerous adventures. We had easy access to exhilarating activities such as ziplining, exploring the Mistico Hanging Bridges, and the fascinating frog night tour (a must do in our opinion). The charming city of La Fortuna was also nearby, offering even more opportunities for exploration and enjoyment. This perfect combination of adventure and relaxation made our stay in Costa Rica truly extraordinary.

We enjoyed our stay but a few things need to be mentioned.

While the owner of this home was very kind, and communicative, we were a bit disappointed when we arrived to this house. Perhaps we didn’t look closely enough at the photos, with great detail. As other reviews mention, the views are quite beautiful. But unfortunately, the home itself could use some work. It’s very dated, and very dark, and the building that is on property, where Stephanie the house manager lives, is an eyesore to look at when you arrive to the house, or even look through the kitchen in the window. Served our purposes for our stay, but we had a driver with us, who we thought would be able to comfortably stay in the additional twin that was mentioned. Those additional beds are actually in a very uncomfortable daybed that’s located in the living room. so we ended up having to pay for a small cabin for him to stay nearby. There’s really not much going on in this small town of La Fortuna, so if we ever returned to the area, we would choose to stay closer to where the Hot Springs are, or the downtown area. It was not a 10 minute drive, it was more like a 25 minute drive. At the end of the stay here, we enjoyed the time in the area. But if I’m being totally honest, none of us would give this five stars. I’m sorry, but I felt that for the price, and the photos that were clearly focused very much on the pool and the view, this did not fit our expectation. If the rate was lower, that would likely change my view on the experience.

Our family of 7 absolutely LOVED every minute of our stay at Jim’s lovely home! From the moment we got there, we were in awe of the incredible views, the property, and home. Arenal is a magical place and we truly enjoyed feeling at home relaxing on the balconies, playing in the pool, enjoying in the hot tub, going on walks around the property, sighting wildlife, and taking in the majestic views of the volcano, Arenal and lake Arenal. We couldn’t have wanted anything more and I wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you to Jim, for being so responsive and helpful with everything.

The house is nice and well appointed (even rice maker). Beautiful woodwork. Clean and nicely kept grounds. Lots of birds and some other wildlife spotted. The location is quite and remote the last mile in is a little rough but managed in Suzuki vitara.

Relaxing, easy, spacious

Our family of 5 stayed here for 3 nights. Our 3 young daughters had a blast. We explored the town la fortuna, butterfly observatory, hanging bridges, la fortuna waterfall, hot water springs nearby. Ryan at Al patio carbone has the name of the hot springs that has multiple pools. We had a blast. The house was laid out great, very clean, Stephanie is great that lives next door. The only downside is the bathrooms are a bit dated but totally looked past all that as we were in Costa Rica and our family was having a great adventure. If you want to use the hot tub give Stephanie at least a 3-5 hour warning so it gets warm. We felt safe and relaxed the entire time. The local food spots near the home that we ate at were nepenthe, Al patio carbone and a really cool spot called essence by the butterfly place. We would definitely recommend. The host was easy to work with.

This place did not disappoint on location. It is off the beaten path but the view is worth it. Don’t let the road up intimidate, it’s an easy road in all conditions with the right vehicle. The kids loved playing in the pool while we sat on the deck and enjoyed the 360 degrees of beauty. Fit 12 of us fairly easily and I never felt that we were on top of each other while staying. The owner and manager were very responsive and easy to communicate with.
