Great view of the lake. This was a good location for our family and our dog to chill and read on the deck. We were able to do some nice private waterfall hikes which would allow our dog to hike with us unlike the parks which do not allow dogs.

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay at the lake front villa. It was easy to get to, had a nice view and was comfortable, clean and very relaxing. I enjoyed my coffee in the morning on the porch taking in a view of the lake. We walked over the restaurant at the hotel for a great dinner and it was a quick walk less than 10 mins.

Quiet retreat

This property had everything we needed as we set out to explore the lake Arenal and surrounding area of Costa Rica. The porch was perfect for morning coffee and reading a book. The property was clean and easy to get to. It was a bit of a drive to a lot of activities but it was so nice to have a secure, quiet place to come home to each day. Highly recommend for one or two couples.

Beautiful lake view

We spent 7 nights here, and found it to be peaceful and scenic, which is what we had hoped for. The home is very well-appointed especially in the kitchen, which I appreciated since we most often cook while on vacation. Sharp knives, plenty of cutlery and dishes. The light switches were labeled, which was useful. Sheets and towels very good quality, always nice. Many afternoons spent on the porch swing overlooking the lake were very restful. The firepit was lovely in the evening.Communication was reliable,and we appreciated that. Several restaurants within a few minutes drive, or a bit of a walk. Our favorite was La Pasadita,,,best ceviche and nachos ever.We will return.

STAY AWAY!!!

This adventure began with a carefully planned 3 night stay. We confirmed our reservation multiple times with Kyle,the owner, despite problems we noticed with previous reviews about this condo and keys. We felt that the venue was perfect so we booked it anyway. What a disaster! We arrived at 6:10pm from the USA and NO keys were available at the gate as guaranteed. After arguing with the guard ,a merciful neighbor Rand, authorized our entry at 8:30pm. The condo, to our surprise, had much deferred maintenance, including wobbling three bladed ceiling fans, NO Wifi as advertised, NO toilet paper, not even one sheet!, empty soap dispensers in both bathrooms, NO paper towels, a nonfunctional safe, old ratty bath towels, NO wash cloths and a gross toilet seat in the master bathroom surrounded by old nasty bath rugs.In addition, there were NO condo instructions in the unit. Daniella the manager was NOWHERE to be found! After numerous complaints using the neighbor's Wifi on the other side of the community to contact Kyle and Daniella directly, a relative of Daniella's showed up the next night with some very needed supplies and an apology. Too little, too late since we had already gone out to buy the desperately needed basic supplies ourselves, the night before. We finally did hear from Kyle on the third day since we had no Wifi to communicate with him! He instructed us to either wait for Daniella to show up or to vacate the condo by leaving the key on the kitchen counter. We waited until 11am and finally left disgusted since she never showed! We videoed the entire condo to prove that we left it better condition than we received it, left all the new supplies on the counter, and closed the door leaving the property UNLOCKED! This did not make us feel comfortable! Kyle apologized via email and credited our account for one lousy night.He also offered us a discount of $200.00 off our next stay. Yeah right! A vacation, especially an international one that was well planned and confirmed,should have gone smoother than this disaster.So much for a relaxing weekend! Please take our advice and FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER PLACE TO STAY!

Costa Rica Lake House

We had a great first time visit to CR. The property manager checked us in and gave us everything we needed for a great stay. When the water heater broke and could not be immediately repaired she helped us move into a neighboring property which suited us just fine. The are in which this property is located is beautiful. Friendly people. If you stay here you will want to try the little restaurant between the speed bumps in the little town you will drive through getting to the house. Thanks to Joann for making us feel welcome

This property is beautiful and well maintained! We had an excellent time on our four night stay!

This is an excellent home that is comfortable and in a quiet, safe complex. The view is wonderful and so are the neighbors. We saw many different types of birds every day and awoke to the sounds of nature! Just perfect! The manager, Joanne, is quick to respond, took excellent care of the little needs we had, and was super friendly when we met her. We felt like we were meeting an old friend! All four of us would stay here again in a heartbeat! Pura Vida!

Excellent rental for the price!!

Early on had some snags with communication due to email glitch and caretaker illness but it all worked out just great! Very comfortable for our family of 4 ( 2 adults and a 19yo and 16yo). Kitchen adequately supplied. Internet worked well (especially for CR!) . The house’s deck and the club house pool were super but we used them far less than we thought we would due to wind, clouds and mist the whole week over the lake. We ended up driving a lot to get to outings and seek sun. Would recommend to another group of 4! Thank you so much!

The Perfect Costa Rican Get-away

This is the perfect get-away from the mass tourism of Costa Rica's coastal areas. Such a lovely, very comfortable house with everything we needed to make us feel right at home. The views of Lake Arenal and the surrounding mountainous countryside were beautiful, and there was always a breeze to keep the temperatures just right. Being at the far end of this gated community that included a very nice pool, offered tranquil privacy which we loved, and the constant presence of Toucans, Parrots and so many other exotic birds just made our day. Only 15 minutes away from good supermarkets, and with day-excursions to nearby nature reserves and other activities really made this the ideal holiday location. Joannie, the property manager was always available and so kind and helpful which just added to our overall enjoyment. We'll be back!! Fiona & Paul St. Clair

Beautiful home on a beautiful lake.

The house was everything represented by the owner. The Owner's manager, Joanie was very helpful and a real joy. We loved the house and the location. We would definitely go back to this house. We throroughly enjoyed it. The house is well equipped and it was very clean. There is one caveat though, the road around Lake Arenal back to LaFortuna is in horrible shape and is dangerous to drive after dark. If you go to LaFortuna - get back before dark.

Beautiful property with a great view

We rented Casa 5 for the month of August and truly enjoyed our time here. Joann was very helpful with pointing out places to eat and suggesting things to do, and quick to respond when we needed assistance. The housing development was very quiet - perhaps because it was the rainy season when fewer people visit Costa Rica. We loved sitting outside on the porch and watching the birds, listening to the howler monkeys in the distance, and enjoying the sounds of the farms across the bay. We frequently saw or heard kiskadees, toucans, oropendolas, and vultures. It's breezy outdoors, but that keeps the mosquitoes away and the temperatures comfortable. There are several good restaurants within a 20-minute walking distance (or 5-minute drive) - Gutierrez Family Pizzeria, La Pasadita, and Brisas del Lago. Tronadora (about 10 minutes away) is charming - and we recommend getting meats from the carniceria and breads from the panaderia there. Tilaran is about a 15-minute drive away and has banks, larger grocery stores, the bus station, but we didn't find any restaurants better than the ones in Puerto San Luis - see above. The restaurant at the Hotel Guadalupe was quite good. The house is well maintained and clean, the refrigerator is huge, the stove worked great. The pots and pans were adequate. The queen bed was quite comfortable and the roomy shower had reliable hot water. The TV gets several English-language channels. The wifi was fast and robust, despite frequent rain and thunderstorms. We only used the fans a few times - with open windows (with screens) and breezes, the house stayed comfortable all day long. The house is in a good location, even though it is somewhat distant from the main tourist areas of Lake Arenal. It's a 90-minute drive around the north side of the lake to La Fortuna. There are several good restaurants along the lake as well. We took the local bus from Tilaran to Monteverde and spent a couple of nights there - the bus was cheap (about $2.00 per person one way), but took 2.5 to 3 hours to go 26 miles. We drove to Santa Rosa National Park - about 2 hours driving. And it was about a 90-minute drive to get to Tenorio National Park, where you can see the robin's egg blue Rio Celeste. Be sure to stop at the overlook above Lake Arenal - on the road between Tilaran and La Fortuna - just past the turnoff to Tronadora. We actually walked there from the house - it was about a 40-minute walk one way.

Beautiful Scenery!

My wife and I shared this property with another couple for a recent vacation and had a great time! The scenery was amazing as you step out and look at the lake and volcano. We had everything we needed for our stay and the property manager was amazing as she assisted us with places to shop and eat. The owner Kyle went the extra mile to ensure we had plenty of fans to help keep us cool. While there we visited Rio Celeste and drove around the lake to see the sites. Beautiful country, amazing local food and super people made for a memorable trip.

Excellent House!

Thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Great location with a fantastic view. It is as comfortable and appointed as advertised. The community is quiet with a nice pool, if that's what you're looking for. Also, fairly centralized on the lake so you're really only an hour or so from the activities around the volcano or the Pacific coast. Joannie, the property manager, could not have been more helpful or a nicer person. She really put us on to some outstanding "comida typica". Kyle, the owner, made the entire process easy from confirmation through completion of the stay. I highly recommend. There's also a good brewery on the road to La Fortuna!

Nice, comfortable house with beautiful views over Lake Arenal. 10 minutes walk to local restaurants and little shops. Nice community pool (circa 15 meters). House is up to date with good beds but the community grounds could use some little updates.
