This was the perfect location for exploring downtown La Fortuna! The house overall was perfect for our group of 4 and offered everything we needed. I will say the spare bedroom bathroom could use some plumbing restoration, but the house was perfect overall for our stay. Highly recommend for the convenience and space!

This house was in a good location-close to town. The owner was very quick to get back to me with any questions I had. Was nice to come back and swim in pool after busy day. We enjoyed our stay. My only complain was the neighbors dog barking, but that is not her fault or anything she can control.

Great layout for up to 3 couples! Excellent location just a quick drive from downtown La Fortuna or from the Arenal Volcano. Property was in a safe and relatively quiet neighborhood with the only exception being a dog nearby that was often barking. Would definitely recommend to a family or a group of friends looking for a getaway in La Fortuna!

The place was perfect for our family of 6! The home was clean and comfortable! My husband & I slept in the cabana while our 4 kids (ages 16,14,11 & 10) took the house. None of our kids were concerned about us not being in the house while we all slept and we all felt very safe! The location is perfect! We were busy all day so our kids mostly swam at night (which it gets dark early so it wasn’t really late). The host was very quick & patient with answering our questions!
