Vacation rentals with lake access in Lake Arenal

Amazing location, very close to town but felt like you were in the jungle. Very clean, cozy, and well-equipped kitchen.

Wow! Villa Laurel is absolutely amazing! The photos do not capture the true beauty. Karina was always quick to respond with a lot of suggestions and helpful information for our stay. We spent most of our time on the patio enjoying the beautiful pool, surroundings and the wildlife. The bird calls every morning were something from a nature station on Spotify. The location is perfect. It is secluded but within minutes from downtown La Fortuna. We highly recommend staying here and hope to return. Thank you, Karina, for sharing your home with us.

After staying here last year our kids were so excited to come back! They love the pool! The house has everything you need and is very clean! The property is amazing and we have even seen several sloths.

Casa Malecu was absolutely stunning! We had an amazing stay. The view of Lake Arenal was beautiful, as were the grounds and the house. Lots of big windows to see in all directions. The highlight of our stay was the main shower that had a floor to ceiling window looking out onto Lake Arenal. Well-maintained and nicely decorated. We wish we had booked for longer. We did have an issue with our key; it broke our first day there. However, Pedro was quick to our rescue and we were with a new key in minutes. Also, the place is a little difficult to find since there are no addresses. Can’t simply plug it into an online map, instead you have to rely on landmarks. A good thing we didn’t drive in at night like we had originally intended or we probably would not have found it. For our purposes, it was close to the various areas we wanted to visit such as Arenal, La Fortuna and a 2-hour drive. We will definitely come back!!

We have stayed at Casa Isabelita multiple times. It is always so peaceful. We hope to stay again.

Can’t say enough about how wonderful this Airbnb was for our family! It’s gorgeous, the wildlife was amazing to watch, checking in was so easy. We saw sloths, toucans, iguanas, howler monkeys, too many birds to count! We made sure to have a few days to just hang around the property and relax and were so glad we did. With all the property has to offer you don’t have to go anywhere. We hope to return for sure!

The house is very beautiful, it is next to a river so the birdsong, crickets and frogs accompany you at all times. The place is very quiet, it is in a somewhat isolated area and about 30 minutes from Fortuna and 10 minutes from Chachagua. It has all the amenities to live in the house, cook and rest.

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!

The view over the lake arenal is just phenomenal! The house has a huge garden with some fruits, herbs & vegetables wich we were allowed to eat. We can for sure recommend.

Beautiful place if you’re looking for peace and quiet!

Very nice stay , very private area. Awesome having the entire place as a couple

Great, peaceful spot. Would stay again

Maria's home is tucked in a beautiful and private, but also convenient location by Lake Arenal. Maria is so welcoming, responsive, and made my birthday trip extra special with a few accommodations/touches! Would definitely return and highly recommend others.

This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The atmosphere is peaceful, incredibly relaxing, and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Breakfast was fantastic, and having a chat with Paul was truly a blessing. Thank you, Paul and Carole, for such a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

The host is very attentive, the place is very nice and in a quiet village, close to La Fortuna and Ciudad Quesada, perfect to disconnect without losing access to other facilities

Nice and modern apartment, located in a very beautiful section of the valley with great views of Lake Arenal. Tanyia and Rod were also very friendly and provided us with a list of local attractions.

Great place to spend a weekend or some vacation time, with a tiny supermarket nearby which can be reached out by walking. Adrian was very responsive, making the stay even better. I recommend the place and would stay again when going to La Fortuna

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.

This beautiful paradise is amazingly beautiful my family didn’t want to leave this place, is really an incredible beautiful paradise, we will comeback

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.

We stayed at Juan's recently and were very happy! The unit itself is gorgeous with everything meeting our needs, and the host was very responsive, helpful and made the check-in and check-out process very straightforward with clear instructions. I would definitely recommend this unit and would stay here again!

very peaceful place with a great pool

Absolutely loved our stay! The property is stunning, with beautifully maintained grounds and breathtaking views of the volcano. Very private - no one else nearby. Our kids couldn’t get enough of the pool and jacuzzi—it was the perfect place to relax. The location is great too, just a quick and easy 15-minute drive into downtown. Kenneth was an exceptional host—super responsive and thoughtful, even leaving fresh coconuts in the fridge for us. We would definitely stay here again!

Super nice place! We were able to see the poison dart frogs very easily, highly recommended!
