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.

Stunning Lake Home 3 bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms

AnishaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The home was exactly as described and offers beautiful views of the lake! The home is close to La Fortuna and all attractions. The layout worked well for our family (older adult child and two teenagers). Nancy is a great host and gave us good suggestions for things to do! We enjoyed our stay in El Castillo/Lake Arenal area and will be back!

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

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!

Little Paradise Lakefront Lodge

GraceRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had slight difficulty finding this place as we arrived after dark. What a treat to wake up the next day to the sounds of birds and howler monkeys and a spectacular view of Lake Arenal! The previous evening we had the best meal of our entire vacation at Restaurante Tinajas just down the road. In the morning, we rented the Paddle board. It was so peaceful out on the lake with gorgeous views. The unit is exactly as described. There are not many extras such as salt/pepper for cooking or shampoo for showering.

Front Lake Volcano View House

DawnRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Once we found this house, it was an amazing place to stay with beautiful views of the lake and the volcano and plenty of room for our family of 5, but we found it extremely difficult to find (part of the problem was that we arrived in the dark and without wifi- not the original plan but due to flight delays) and the house is not really visible from the road. It would have been very helpful to have more of a description of the location of the driveway, etc. Instructions about how to find the lockbox that contained a key were vague and we ended up feeling a bit like we were in an escape room adventure. But once we found it, everything about the house and the location was perfect! Would definitely stay here again- especially now that we know how to FIND IT!

Secret Garden House PRIVATE POOL WIFI AND A/C

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This place was perfect for our group of six! We were able to easily reach our Arenal Volcano excursion from this home. The pool was perfect for slipping into after a full day of travel. There are quite a few creatures inside and outside of the home but it was not an issue for us! The showers were great and the beds were very comfortable and AC is always appreciated!

Ferreto’s House

JohnRating, 5 stars28 months ago
This was a most beautiful setting. The views of Lake Arenal and the volcanal were spectacular. If you climb to the top of the property (very easy to do as it is open pasture) it is even more beautiful and the volcano is easier to see. The property both inside and out had room for a larger group than the four of us except for sleeping area. There were two queen beds and two bedrooms and also a pullout couch in the living area. The only reason I mention this is the kitchen, living room, outside patios and size of the outdoor area would lend itself to a much larger group than current sleeping arrangements afford. Melissa, our host, was very responsive to questions and problems. One bathrooms hot water was not working and she offered to have it fixed right away. We opted to just use the one bathroom so as not to interrupt our stay. Melissa seemed genuinely interested in making any suggested improvements and was a pleasure to deal with. Great location 20 minutes from La Fortuna.

Lake Arenal! Cabina for 4 with kitchen and patio

BethRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My daughter and her boyfriend were there for a bike ride ride. The location was perfect for proximity to the ride and a great environment to relax following a strenuous day! There was a slight mix up with rooms, but it was quickly resolved for everyone. And, my daughter loved the replacement digs (pets included!) Kees is extremely easy to communicate with and very responsive. We highly recommend him and his accommodations.

Finca rural, jacuzzi y balcón con vistas al volcán

JonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was an amazing AirBnB there is far more to do and enjoy on the farm than you expect. The farm is enormous and there is a short hike down a little hill through the jungle that leads down to a big open area for cattle where you can cross a stream and enjoy the beautiful nature. Also there is this great, cheap restaurant called Victorino's which is relatively close.
