Casa Colibri La Fortuna

JenniferRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Wow! What an amazingly beautiful home for a group to share! Loved the spacious place and clean accommodations, large outdoor seating area and the pool is perfect! Just from the house we saw a sloth, toucans, & lizards. We felt very safe with having a locked gate. The privacy was nice. I hope to be back soon!

Casa Santa Fe Arenal Volcano

SydneyRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We loved staying at Casa Santa Fe! We even wish we could go back because our time there felt too short. When we arrived we had complementary platano chips and traditional Costa Rica drinks waiting for us. The space was very clean and made us feel comfortable. The pool was amazing and a great addition! We enjoyed our nights in watching TV together on the couch on rainy nights. As well as the variety of options of excursions to do and good restaurants to eat at! Danny was also very responsive and helpful, which we appreciated, it being our first time in Costa Rica. Even after our stay, he was helpful in offering us new options for another Airbnb when we needed it. We would definitely stay again!

Villa Perezosa (sloth)

This spot was a little bit difficult to find, but don’t let that discourage you. The home was beautiful. The rooms are located outside. It is very close to downtown area. Definitely recommend this.

Villa Paz Beneath the Ceiba Arenal

SuzanneRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Cozy home, just as described. Comfortable beds Great location for our family of 6 to do all the activities in and around La Fortuna. When we weren’t out exploring, our kids were in the pool, which was so enjoyable. There was a mixup when we first got there with another family who mistakenly was in our place. But it was quickly resolved and we were left a fruit basket the next day.

Villa Famary

ArleneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The other reviews are correct. This place is even more beautiful in person. We did not the amount of space, how clean it was, and how luxurious it felt. It was like being in a resort. Even the way its designed was gorgeous. It was 4 adults and 2 kids and we all loved it. The kids especially loved the pool and how low it was and we loved the convenience of the market directly across the street. Also everything is a short taxi ride away. And to top it off, the one day pass at Las Logas Resort was awesome. We spent hours there walking the grounds and enjoying the hotsprings pools!! This is definitely one of the best airbnbs we've stayed at offering so many amenities withing close proximity to downtown and other attractions. Also the host Rebecca was very responsive! Be careful to follow the instructions when checking in because you will be lost. Thanks again Rebecca!

Hummingbird House - Arenal's best view!

TriciaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We enjoyed our stay! It's a nice, clean home with scenic views in an authentic, safe community. We bought a few basics for breakfast (eggs, queso blanco, milk, coffee, juice) at the nearby community mini-market (a few blocks away) so we could make breakfast at the place. If you want fresh fruits & veggies, you should stop at a bigger market on your way (La Fortuna? Or El Castillo?). We ate dinner twice at the nearby La Terraza restaurant, which was good. We loved the batidos de fruta (fruit smoothies/shakes - 'de leche' ('of milk') . My favorite is the batido de papaya (de leche). My kids also tried the strawberry, pineapple, maracuya (and I think others, too!). We enjoyed the dishes we had there, too. Internet at the house can be spotty, but there's some cell reception, too. If you're on vacation and just checking your email from time to time and researching things to do in the area, it's fine; if you're looking to be a digital nomad, this is probably not the place for you.

Casa Vista Arenal

KathyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This cute little place was perfect for the two of us. Having the AC in the bedroom was so nice and made for a good nights sleep. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio and watching and listening to all of the birds and watching the cows who are right next door. Fortuna Waterfalls is close by and it’s a quick trip into town. We would stay here again.

Villa Luxury - Volcano Pool Breakfast included

DavidRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an incredible stay in La Fortuna with our family, including our 3-year-old and 1-year-old. The home is perfectly situated right at the base of the volcano, offering unobstructed, stunning views—we could see Arenal from the living room and even while relaxing outside. The host was extremely thoughtful, leaving cold beers and champagne in the fridge for us, which was such a warm welcome after a long drive. Communication was excellent, and the concierge-style service made it easy to plan activities that worked for both adults and young kids. The space felt peaceful, safe, and well-equipped for a family. We’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area—especially families looking for comfort, scenery, and great hospitality.

Close to Monteverde with huge ocean view

VuRating, 5 stars6 days ago
While many other reviews mentioned it, I’ll have to note here again: the view is amazing. I enjoy taking so many photos through out our trip as the view is spectacular and it chnages quickly at different times, different weather. The weather has been kind to us so it only rained very hard mostly at night and few hours in the afternoon (mid June). Sitting out on the deck in the morning is peaceful and not too cold. All of the descriptions are accurate. The road coming here is rough but so is almost everywhere else in Monteverde. Definitely one of the best Airbnb places we’ve been.

Star House Monteverde.

PaulRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Had a great stay at The Star House. Beautiful sunsets and rainbows. My kids loved watching the leaf cutter ants out in the yard. Also loved watching the hummingbirds and even a toucan from the swinging bucket seats with a cool gentle breeze. Very peaceful and relaxing. Comfortable beds and plenty of hot water from the solar powered water heater. Kitchen well-equipped, including coffee. Would definitely stay here again!

Enchanting Rainforest Beehive House w/ HOT TUB

IrynaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Our stay at this house was simply spectacular. The design is beautiful, very eye-catching, yet incredibly practical. Everything is thoughtfully arranged to make you feel comfortable and at home from the very beginning. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bathrooms are spacious and functional, and the beds are truly comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. Another highlight is the location: in a peaceful, nature-filled setting, away from the tourist crowds but still close enough to all the main attractions in the area. Exactly what we were looking for. What surprised us most was the sense of serenity the house offers. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience in itself. That’s why we recommend that anyone visiting not only use it as a base to explore the area but also take time to enjoy the house itself: the peace, the natural surroundings, and the special moments shared with loved ones. Another plus is the host, Esteban, who took great care of us.

Villa Laurel

Anna FutrykRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in La Fortuna—honestly, it was even better than the photos! The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. You can tell how much care goes into every detail, inside and out. The outdoor space was lush and peaceful, with a view so close to the volcano it felt like we could reach out and touch it. Karina, the host, was exceptionally thoughtful. She left a kind handwritten note and some chocolates to celebrate my niece’s 11th birthday, which was such a sweet and personal touch. It’s rare to find that level of warmth and hospitality. If you’re thinking of staying in La Fortuna, don’t hesitate—this place is a gem. We’d come back in a heartbeat. Ania

Casa Aqua Vida: Natural Spring Lake, Volcano Views

AshirRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Aqua Vida is simply amazing. Words cannot describe how you’ll feel when you see everything you get with this property. It’s off the main road in La Fortuna but it’s very safe and peaceful. You get all the privacy you want while being 5 minutes away from everything in town. A huge natural spring pool, a covered area where you can cook, have your meals or just hangout, a huge yard to play in, a stream going through the property with beautiful trees and absolutely stunning landscaping. All this and you’re still not even in the house. Book this place. You’ll be happy you did.

Luxury House+Volcano View+Pool

SarahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
What can I say this place was wonderfully peaceful. Sitting right under the beautiful dormant volcano the views were amazing. Little hummingbirds were seen in the garden, howler monkeys and sloth in the trees across the road. Bring your binoculars! Toucans in the trees in the valley across the farmland behind the villa. This place is the perfect home base to visit all that La Fortuna has to offer. We spent a very enjoyable week here with our teens. The balcony and outdoor spaces were perfect for coffee and morning bird spotting. We also enjoyed the pool after long days hiking. The villa has everything you need to self cater and is in a quiet, safe, secure area. There is a little store on the corner and a great local soda to eat traditional fare only a 5 min walk away. Book here you won’t regret it!

Cougar Monteverde/3k to center+wine+itenerary+farm

MichaelRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Overall our stay went well. The host was excellent. The house and everything was just as listed. Here are the things that I didn’t see many reviewers mention so just want to make these things I experienced clear in case someone else like me would find it helpful. 1. I rented a van. The final road to get to the house is very bumpy. You don’t need a 4x4 but I would personally recommend it just for complete piece of mind. Driving on that road at night while it’s raining was a bit scary for me as there are somewhat steep hills and the tires can skid sometimes. I personally would not want to do that again. 2. If it rains, the rains is very loud when it hits the roof. I had no issue. 3. Perhaps it’s dependent on season, but I had to kill multiple crawling bugs. No fault of owner, just how it is in that region. 4. Not very walkable so just prepare accordingly. 5. Water wasn’t warm on my first day. 2nd day it was. Still was a great experience but just be ready.
