The host was very proactive during our stay. They helped us out with many things including activities in the area. We walked to everything in town while we were there. It's a quiet place and well equipped for our needs.The resident sloth in the tree next door was a nice addition to our stay!

We were two families staying for 3 nights. Host was very responsive, always available to respond to questions. The location was absolutely perfect. It was within walking distance to the town square/park, lots of restaurants and shops. The house was adequately stocked to be able to be able to cook meals. The house was clean and well maintained and the pool was wonderful for the kids to swim in.

We were allowed to get in 30 minutes early, Carlos was attentive for the most part. The unit is very run down, the lights and fan were fixed once we asked why we had no outdoor lights, the cupboards and and counters very run down, the oven and washer is in need of repair. The rooms were extremely small, and dated, good for a single person and the bathroom dated, one of the toilet leaked The location was good, walking distance to everything, the pool was nice, for cooling off. We ended up leaving 3 days early, as the weather was terrible and the unit was not one that you would miss.

Great house/ Convenient lication

Great house, a short walk to LaFortuna town center with all the amenities you would need -- Groceries, restaurants and souvenirs. House worked well for our family of 7. Kitchen stocked with decent pots, dishes and cooking utensils. Pool provides a nice break after a day of touring. Property pictures accurately represent house. Listing states no a/c in living area. Additional cooling in those spaces would make the property even better

We stayed with our two sons and their wives and had the best time. The house is great. Nice to have a the pool house bedroom. The pool was wonderful and the location in town was peaceful yet right near the main square. Lots of restaurants and shops. Just down the road from so many great volcano and forest activities. The staff were super helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location within walking distance to restaurants

Property manager was excellent to deal with. Great location and clean property. Pool suite seemed a bit old and dated. Very noisy surrounding area and thought someone tried to enter the main house but when security camera was reviewed they said they didn’t see anything. Property does have alarm system installed but we didn’t feel the safest.

Our stay in La Fortuna

Location was close and convenient, but secluded from town. Walking distance to town.Needed a few more dish towels in the kitchen. It would have been nice to have additional towels, ( wash cloths, bath towels) for each bathroom as well as additional blanketsWe had trouble accessing the TV, but did didn’t reach out for help. Maybe during check in the representative could have demonstrated how to use them. Overall a great experience. We would definitely recommend.

Séjour à La Fortuna

Nous avons séjourné 4 jours et avons beaucoup apprécié ! La maison était bien adaptée pour 7 adultes. C'était propre et confortable. L’emplacement est très calme et privé. Tout est à proximité, nous pouvions facilement marcher jusqu'aux magasins et restaurants de La Fortuna. La vue sur le volcan Arenal était incroyable. La communication était très rapide. Les gestionnaires immobiliers nous ont aidé pour organiser nos excursions. Certainement une maison et un emplacement que je louerais à nouveau. Je recommande vivement.

Great location…..ok property

Not sure you could find a better location. We were able to walk anywhere in La fortuna and plenty of parking for 2 vehicles. The house was functional but not as polished as the pictures show and we did deal with ants consistently in living areas and even in a few bags during our stay. Pool area was nice and kids loved it despite the constant rain La Fortuna had to offer us.

Great hosts and very nice house!

This listing was the one we were supposed to stay at, but a couple weeks before we were to arrive, a creek flooded that property during a huge storm. The host thought they would be able to repair it in time but a few days before our arrival they notified us that there was just too much damage. However they were so wonderful and found us another location within their group of homes and it was very nice. It is a super nice home: beautifully appointed and clean it had a pool (but not as nice as the one in this listing). It also had a separate room/bathroom in the back. The home we were at is in town, which was a wonderful to be able to walk around and go to restaurants, bars and shops. It was also very close to most of the adventures we did. The property we stayed at is not listed on VRBO. It is listed on other sites and it’s called La Fortuna Downtown Home.The downside of being in town was that it was very noisy. We were in a neighborhood so people going to work at six in the morning and dogs barking so it wasn’t really possible to sleep in. But then most of the time we needed to get up by eight anyway. The other thing was the minisplit air conditioner in the master bedroom either blew very cold air or warm. Maybe we didn’t know how to work it, but there were no instructions. Need to buy your own coffee, salt, and laundry soap, but they did have plenty of towels & kitchen stuff. Ultimately we had an awesome time. Love La Fortuna & the people there. Definitely recommend!

Very close to town and activities

Mario was a very friendly and nice host. He was also fairly easy to reach. Some clarifications (not complaints!), that I wish I had known before: 1. The house is in town, but it does not come up on google maps as it sits back on an un-named private alley/road. Everyone had a tough time finding it, even locals. I had to turn on my location. 2. The air conditioning is only in the bedrooms. It was hot in the hallway bathroom and common areas. This put a damper on our social time because no one wanted to eat and drink in common areas. 3. The tv in the common area did not work and the tv in one of the bedrooms is not a smart tv so it only had local channels. 4. The entry door must be opened and closed with a key. There were 3 of us with 2 sets of keys. One time 2 of us left separately and our friend was trapped in the house because she did not have a key to open the door and leave. This seems like a safety hazard. We could not open the other sliding doors or back doors. 5. There are no accessible drawers or closets. There are a few shelves and makeshift hanging racks. The hallway bathroom was extremely tiny (toilet almost touched the shower door). Thus, I lived out my suitcase. 6.The alley to house is gravel so it can be difficult to walk and roll luggage. Overall, the house was clean and the water had great pressure. The water in also got very hot in all sinks and showers (except for the sink in small bathroom). Great hospitality.

We spent a week in La Fortuna. Having never been to Costa Rica this was the perfect property. In town, but enough privacy to enjoy the peacefulness of the area.
