Quiet retreat on gorgeous organic garden by lake
One of the most beautiful locations, the view over the lake is simply stunning. Magical sunsets. Location is a 10. Super quiet and peaceful, many birds come close to the house and I found it a true delight to hear them sing through the morning. House is spacious, beds are comfortable. Sheets are clean and soft. Kitchen is well equipped. Terrace is just a lovely place to hang out.

Hummingbird House - Arenal's best view!
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.

Private Beach Front Villa
Such a beautiful location and the PERFECT villa for my family and I. The property is exactly as per the photos. It is maintained daily by Vincete (awesome guy and super friendly/really helpful). The house was cleaned daily at no extra cost. We had such a wonderful time staying here with 2 young kids, grandma and brother’s family. The view from the kitchen and outdoor area/pool is beautiful and never gets old. Would love to come back again!

Private Villa with lake and pool in Arenal Volcano
The place is very nice and private, the service was good, the house was perfect !!! The place is really quiet, we had a great time !!!

Seaside Haven Oceanview
This is truly an incredible place! Private pool, away from the business but close enough to enjoy epic beaches, restaurants and all the other things you want to do. I highly recommend staying here.

Casa Colibri La Fortuna
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.

Contemporary Lux home w/private pool@Playa Hermosa
Very well equipped home in a quiet lakeside community. Laura is a lovely host and is proactive and friendly. Loved that there are screens on the windows and doors to be able to use fans downstairs and not have to go between pool and cold AC. Great bike paths and trails, a 5min drive to the beach. Hermosa beach isn’t a swimming beach, but you can still go in the shallow end during low tide for a dip. They haven’t yet cleaned up the logs and debris from the shoreline, so it’s still a bit rough, but nice for a long walk. Would definitely stay again!

Red sand
A very nice place, the kitchen has everything you need to cook there, it is clean and organized, the pool is clean, as a recommendation I would put air conditioning and a table in the kitchen with a couple of chairs, the customer service is excellent.

In search of peace?
We stayed a couple of days where Cristian to rest and recharge batteries. He is very nice and friendly. The apartment had everything we needed, from a delicious coffee, to extra blankets for the cold. We highly recommend it.

Casablanca in front of river 8
Great place, great host. Upon arrival by boat, we were received directly and everything necessary was explained. Requests were responded to and helped quickly. Very clean space with smart TV, coffee maker, fridge (very clean) and great bathroom. Very cozy bed overlooking the lagoon. In the morning (5.30 am) you can hear howler monkeys. The place is about 15 min from the center, the path can be found very intuitively. All in all highly recommended and great host 👍👍

Queen Studio w/ kitchenette & private terrace
It is a very healthy area, easily moves where you want to go and everything is within reach, restaurant and shops in general

splendid house whit jacuzzi sorrounded by nature
Wonderful place with the outstanding views ! Clean, well organized, quiet, fully equipped house. Located on the top of the hill , which opens fantastic panorama of the mountains and the outskirts of the town! We enjoyed every morning birds chirping and even saw toucans ! The neighbors very welcoming and sweet, Patricio extremely responsive and friendly! Great get away place (you might want to stay longer than a weekend) plan accordingly 🤗 I want to thank Patricio and his team for the job the guys do ! They do it right , which means they are at the right place ! Making memories is an amazing occupation😊

Magic River House
They should only indicate the issue of the bridge at the entrance to the house, otherwise excellent

Country house overlooking Arenal Volcano
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

CASA LAS PAVAS DEL VOLCAN
We had a great stay, and really enjoyed using the hot tub after long adventure days. The home had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable.

Quinta La 16 DE Enero - Nature, Peace and Harmony
very peaceful place with a great pool

Rural property, jacuzzi and balcony overlooking the volcano
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!

Beautiful country house with a pool 🍃
A very quiet place to enjoy as a family with all amenities, excellent to go with pets since there is a lot of space, the host is always attentive and friendly, in end everything is very good.

Doña Nata Rustic House near La Fortuna/Pool
Karolina was an amazing host and the airbnb was beautiful beyond our expectations. The family welcomed us into the home and were extremely responsive in helping us get settled and acquainted with the area. We loved the stay and wish we could’ve stayed more!
