Great property and location

My wife and I stayed here with my parents and my brother and the space was perfect for us. The pool and hot tub were great and the view was absolutely breathtaking. The road up the hill to the property can seem a little intimidating at first but it's really not bad at all. The location is nice and secluded and close enough to La Fortuna without being too far. Overall we loved our stay here

Beautiful home. Immaculate. Amazing views. Owner was helpful and a young person who manages property is next door for anything that comes up. It is a little hard to get to but well worth it. Lake Arenal and the volcano are right there. Lots to do within reach.

Beautiful retreat

Stayed here for 3 nights and it was a great introduction to Costa Rica. Beautiful home and gardens. View of Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal are wonderful. Hummingbirds in abundance. Conveniently located to great hikes and food and activities. Stephanie, the housekeeper, was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend!

Out of this world view. Great pool and hot tub. Beautiful home. Excellent owner communication. However, owners info sheets are quite out of date and you ABSOLUTELY need a 4 wheel drive car to make it to the property. But once you’re there, pura vida

La Fortuna-ish

The house and grounds were amazing. Perfect for the 3 couples that went. The view of the lake was great. The house is about 35-40 minutes to La Fortuna. There are limited dining choices in the area but Restaurante El Patio at the end of the "street" (about 1/2 mile from the house, was delicious and the employees were so friendly! It is a wonderful house stocked with everything you need. I would definitely stay there again.

Incredible view of Lake Arenal!

This place did not disappoint on location. It is off the beaten path but the view is worth it. Don’t let the road up intimidate, it’s an easy road in all conditions with the right vehicle. The kids loved playing in the pool while we sat on the deck and enjoyed the 360 degrees of beauty. Fit 12 of us fairly easily and I never felt that we were on top of each other while staying. The owner and manager were very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Incredible views! Host was great

Our stay was great. Jim was SO helpful through the entire process, super responsive and easy to communicate with, gave suggestions on things to do and even booked a chef for us one night. The place is nice and views are great, tons of birds and even saw some monkeys on the property. The road up to the property is a bit hard, but it’s quick and we were able to manage with only 2WD. Was about 35 minutes drive to downtown la Fortuna, tons of hot springs in between the property and la fortuna. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area!

Beautiful home and Lake View

The house is nice and well appointed (even rice maker). Beautiful woodwork. Clean and nicely kept grounds. Lots of birds and some other wildlife spotted. The location is quite and remote the last mile in is a little rough but managed in Suzuki vitara. It’s located near some things to do but we found ourselves driving into La fortuna several times, it’s 30min so plan accordingly.

Lovely home, amazing views, great birding, excellent host

As a group of novice birdwatchers, we were thrilled by the birds we sighted on this property. The house is lovely and private. The views are million dollar — both the lake and the volcano right there! The host is very responsive and helpful. We also highly recommend the restaurant Terrazzas del Arenal in El Castillo 5 minutes away. The only downside is the 3+hour drive from the airport, but that’s just what is required to get to the La Fortuna area.

Amazing

We stayed first week in March. The location and view was amazing. Beds were comfortable. Several good restaurants nearby and decent variety store for supplies at the bottom of the hill otherwise a 30 minute drive to the supermarket in Fortuna. The actual owner, Jim, is who you deal with and he was an amazing resource answering the many questions I had before coming and while there about local attractions. He provided super descriptive directions for the final part of the trip including pictures and even a video of the drive up the mountain. This came in handy when my phone ran out of power and we lost google maps use. Found the place without it easily. Didn’t really need 4 wheel drive but the extra clearance of an SUV probably helped as it is a bumpy road up the mountain but really no problem. The weather was great. Used the pool everyday. And it was nice to have Netflix and Apple Tv for the evenings. All in all we loved our stay there and would certainly stay there again if ever back in CR

Casa Ceiba

Awesome view, very livable. Nice pool and spa but the spa was not heated. Listing said there was a washing machine but if there was it was locked up. You didn’t need the air conditioner much but it was very nice to just cool the bedrooms down before you went to sleep. I would highly recommend this house. Jim the owner was great to work with.

Our family of 7 absolutely LOVED every minute of our stay at Jim’s lovely home! From the moment we got there, we were in awe of the incredible views, the property, and home. Arenal is a magical place and we truly enjoyed feeling at home relaxing on the balconies, playing in the pool, enjoying in the hot tub, going on walks around the property, sighting wildlife, and taking in the majestic views of the volcano, Arenal and lake Arenal. We couldn’t have wanted anything more and I wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you to Jim, for being so responsive and helpful with everything.

Beautiful Hillside Spot with a View to Die For

We spent a month in this lovely home about 30 miles outside of downtown La Fortuna. The house has a great modern design with three comfy bedrooms and three bathrooms. Adding comfortable outdoor seating and an outdoor dining area would be a great addition. Also needs a grill if you enjoy cooking at home as we do. Stephanie, the Housekeeper, is very responsive and thorough. Lovely person too. This house is also close to the best hiking trails in the area. We highly recommend this as a place to stay for exploring all the area has to offer.
