A beautiful house full of life and tranquility
We loved the place, a very comfortable and accessible place, quiet and cozy. The entire environment is very well organized and suitable for the visit. We are very grateful to your attention.

Rancho Bellavista, Unique views, Pool and WiFI!
Our stay at this home was nothing short of magical. Waking up to the sounds of nature and watching toucans play in the trees each morning was an unforgettable experience. The views were absolutely breathtaking, creating the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Afternoons by the pool were pure bliss, offering a serene escape surrounded by lush greenery. The home itself was beautifully designed, well-equipped, and provided all the comforts needed for a perfect stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in nature with luxury and charm, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

we had an amazing time. Bridget helped with everything. I am so glad we chose here to stay. we had a birthday party, kids played in hot tub and in the river. they made our stay perfect. thank you again.

Your own Sacred jungle meets luxury
Beautiful surroundings. Quiet. We really enjoyed the rain head showers with hot water. Had a well stocked kitchen. A/C and fans were useful. Beds were comfortable. One bedroom was a bit “wet” smelling. It rained quite a bit during our stay and the roof was somewhat noisy at night, but we are sensitive to noise. WiFi was extremely fast. Check in was smooth and Yerlin was so kind to host us last minute when our plans changed.

Villa Esperanza Accommodation
We loved it here. Had access to the waterfall hiking area. Would definitely recommend. COWS

Apartment Avalon Country Club,Santa Ana,Costa Rica
Karen’s place was very well decorated, organized, clean and had all of the necessary amenities. The overall facility is very well maintained with pathways for walking to the pools, fitness room, tennis courts and restaurant. I felt very comfortable and secure as the entire facility is gated and guarded. Definitely recommend it and sure to book it next time I’m in San José CR!

splendid house whit jacuzzi sorrounded by nature
Truly splendid stay! Inflatable jacuzzi was amazing! And you can’t beat fresh clean water, chlorine free! We absolutely loved the place. We would definitely come again. Amazing price, definitely worth what we paid. It works great for a family with up to 4 children. Our king size bed was comfortable completely a dream. Nice kitchen well stocked. Huge glass front gives the house a sunny open feel. Even had a washer and dryer to get laundry done. Even provided laundry soap and extra toilet paper when needed. There’s even a simple grill and charcoal we used to grill supper.

Casita Canto del Jilguero (Goldfinch Song)
Good value, nice well maintained clean house with an electric gate, perimeter fence and multiple security cameras. Nice sheltered outdoor areas for sitting and dining on a rainy day. There is a river and mountain with tropical forest rising up behind the house. Old style electric shower head. It can be quite hot if you keep the flow of water low. Nice screened windows for good cross ventilation. Quite cool at night so no need for AC. Spent one morning at Blue Falls which was truly amazing. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils, air fryer, microwave and outdoor grill. Ran out of propane for the stove but Daniela sent over a full tank within an hour.

Cottage in Laguna Hule, fully equipped
Casa Oropendola is magical – a happy place to be happy in! Everything needed to feel comfortable and at home is right there. It is spotless, spacious and well-equipped. The (fully equipped) kitchen, with panoramic windows looking out onto a landscape of utter beauty, is amazing. Gilbert has created a garden of stunning beauty whose heliconia are constantly visited by hummingbirds. Bird lovers – you will be in paradise here! I downloaded the Merlin app for my stay here and was amazed at the species it picked up. Note reliable wifi for work meetings. Safe - could have left the door unlocked at night - not exaggerating. Potable Spring water from the kitchen tap. Gilbert is the kindest and most generous of hosts. He told me about great places to go and helped me a lot. He goes far above and beyond what I expect, doing everything in his power to make the stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. He is just a sincere and kind personality. Laguna Hule is breathtaking. Great hikes!

"Welcome to your mountain home!"
Beautiful and comfortable house with incredible views. Our family had a great stay and look forward to coming back. Laura is a great host, very responsive

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.

Frog Sanctuary
We had a wonderful stay here! It is near a main road, but with all the beautiful plants and trees around, it felt like we were in the middle of a rainforest. Anyara cheerfully greeted us even though we arrived very late/early morning due to a flight delay. She also gave us a fun and informative tour of their amazing property and frog sanctuary. It was enjoyed and appreciated by us all (mom, dad, and 2 teenagers). The house was cozy and as advertised. Communication was excellent.

Casa Zu - Cottage 30 min. away from Arenal Volcano
Amazing local experience. Love the colonial style and Kendal was great all the way. The Rancho is such a nice place. People are so nice there and getting back to the Kendall's place after a few drinks is unique. Note that this place may not work for everyone, the living room communicate directly with the yard. We personally loved getting up to the sound of the birds and the tropical paradise , it's truly amazing.

Santuario de Ranas Valle Azul (Frog Sanctuary).
The family made us feel right at home instantly. They shared their knowledge of the Flora and fauna willingly and with passion. We used the Merlin app for identifying birds and went on night walks to see and learn about the frogs. The family has created an incredible, natural habitat for the animals, reptiles, and birds. We even saw a mother and baby sloth on the property. Our interests in art was also shared with Anarl and her uncles beautiful paintings. We recommend the Sodas that are nearby, Maquerite and Exora. We would also recommend having a car or prearranged transportation as an Uber is hard to get. We used Fortuna expeditions often for transport and excursions. Sunrise through breakfast we enjoyed the bird life and of course night walks with Anyera to observe the frogs. Jefferson cut some garden delights for us, sugar cane, coconut, and cacao. Wonderful fruits are there also. A beautiful place with a beautiful family!
