Birthday vacation
Well maintained property and daily farm eggs were delicious. Check in process was a little delayed but once we connected it went very smoothly. Max was on sight and answered any questions we had. Unit was clean and comfortable. Only downside was a lack of closet space or bathroom counter space. Overall an amazing time amd very relaxing!

Great stay, great value
Lovely property a short drive outside of La Fortuna. We were very happy with everything, and found that we were a short trip from everything we wanted to see and do. Would happily stay again.

Rainforest Oasis
The place was idyllic, conveniently located but peacefully situated outside of town. Max was extremely attentive and responsive. We saw toucans, hummingbirds, and loads of basilisks. It was perfect for my creature loving children!

Comfortable Home, Spectacular Grounds, Close to Everything
We stayed in one of four modern, comfortable homes on this property, which includes a small farm. Each home has a large private hot tub. The shared swimming pool and creek-side hammocks were great. Fresh eggs from the resident hens were delicious. The grounds are beautifully maintained. Lush, natural landscaping filled with flowering plants provides privacy for each house. We saw many birds and even a basilisk lizard as we walked the garden paths. The property is in a quiet rural neighborhood very close to La Fortuna, the Arenal hiking trails, hot springs, and other activities. Max was always available and extremely helpful.

Beautiful Gardens
Great place to stay near La Fortuna attractions. Easy access to activities. Amazing gardens to explore. Pool was crystal clear. Quiet setting, away from the business of town. House was perfect for our family of 5, lots of space to spread out. Max is a true gem! All his recommendations for activities and places to eat were excellent. We felt very well looked after.

Very Nice Property
This casita was well equipped and comfortable. We loved the hot tub and the pool and the garden especially. The only downside is that it is a drive from the activities in the area but that was also what I liked about it. The drive was beautiful and La Fortuna has grown into a chaotic party town in the past five years so it was good to escape to a serene spot after a day of adventure.

Slice of Paradise
It has been one of the best vacations my family of 5 ever had. The Villa was beautifully landscaped, we loved the plants, flowers and trees surrounding the Villa where birds were always flying around. I’m a plant lover and this is one of the reasons why I chose this villa, totally exceeded my expectations. At the end of an active day, it’s so relaxing to dip in the hot tub. There’s a huge Porterweed plant by the hot tub that hummingbirds loved to visit everyday, it was so enchanting. We were surrounded by the sound of rainforest day and night. Max, our host became our private tour organizer, very quick communication via WhatsApp, he booked us with the best companies and tour guide. Our tour guide at our volcanic tour, Yeudy was very knowledgeable and brought a telescope so we could do birdwatching. Thank you so much Max for booking all our tours and private shuttle. They also provided us with a private chef Lucia and Juan, who prepared delightful dishes we truly enjoyed. They made our breakfast and dinner for the whole duration of our stay. My girls were raving about her Carbonara and they joked that their little brother gets “gourmet chicken” each night as a special request. We loved the freshly made juices- papaya, mangoes, fruit punch. The place is very secure which was also very important for me. The house has an alarm and safety box and there’s a gate to enter the little village. Thank you for giving us the end unit Villa as we had plenty of space to enjoy.

La Fortuna
We just left La Fortuna to begin the next part of our Costa Rica trip and every time I leave I want to cry . It’s such a beautiful part of an amazing country . We had a great stay at this sweet bungalow! Loved walking around and looking at all of the amazing plants and birds right off our deck in the gardens surrounding property . The house was cleaned everyday when we returned from our excursions , the beds were very comfortable with soft sheets and nice pillows . I slept awesome . House had everything we needed and the Hot tub and pool were added bonuses that we loved using everyday . House is centrally located to everything. We would absolutely stay here again !
