Our family of 7 stayed for 5 days. The location was excellent with a grocery store a few steps away and so close to all the Fortuna shops and restaurants. The beds were comfortable and amenities fully stocked. The living space was ideal for our family...room for everyone to comfortable enjoy conversation and TV viewing. Great pool also.

Wow what a beautiful place to stay. There was an iguana outside peeping on me during my shower which was pretty cool. Walking distance from downtown and activities are just a few uber rides away. Take advantage of the concierge services offered by staff, they went above and beyond to help us.

Check in instructions were very easy! We LOVED the home. It was the perfect location and the perfect size for our group! We absolutely loved the indoor/outdoor vibe and the view of Adrenal is spectacular- right from the back yard. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone traveling to La Fortuna. It was also very well stocked with items you would need when traveling with a group of 8.

This home was fabulously located near everything! Property management communicated well and responded to my questions quickly. The master bedroom no longer has a closet. It’s been converted into a childs room with a double bed in it. The master bedroom needs drawers or a dresser for clothing storage. Additionally the master bathroom doesn’t have windows. If the house is full this will lack privacy. I was fearful of insects/critters visiting the bathroom in the. Idle of the night. Learn from us-keep the washer lid shut. We had a bright green iguana take residence in the washer. All in all a good place, would stay there again.

Inaccurate listing

I didn't want to write this and reached out to the property manager who said they'd share w the owner. The owner has chosen not to respond. A more accurate listing would have stated the kitchen is a dump, there's no hot water and the cooktop is broken but there's a temporary heater for pots. The waterfall for the pool requires a call to someone to engage remotely so early morning or late nite swims will inconvenience the mgmt team and if you choose to sit on the furniture expect lots of bug bites. That was our experience.

Just ok.

We stayed her for a weekend, and didn't spend much time at the house during the daytime hours. The individual who checked us in was extremely friendly and helpful and the process was easy. The second night we were there, the home had an electrical failure, which caused all of the bedroom air conditioning units to stop working. Additionally hot water in two of the bathrooms was unavailable due to the electrical issue. Some of the lights still worked. We messaged the management company, and they never responded so we had to sleep with no air conditioning and had to take cold showers in the morning. Three of the bedrooms are located on the street side of the property and there were loud motorcycles that drove around the neighborhood at all hours of the night making peaceful sleep impossible. We also witnessed what appeared to be a drug deal on the street right in front of the house. It left an impression that the neighborhood was not the safest. After we checked out, the management company said they "would let the owner know about the electrical problem", but didn't offer any concessions or support for our troubles. It's a nice place, but the circumstances of our stay left an unfavorable impression for us.

Great Location and Manager

The location is within walking distance of many things. The manager is wonderful with communication. I planned an itinerary and sent it to him, he booked all the excursions with pick up at the house - it was perfect. I wasn’t sure how I would like the open concept of the house, but it made it feel more like we were living like the locals. The private chef service was amazing! We would stay here again if we came back

Excellent property for a few days in La Fortuna

Description and photos of the house were accurate. Location was very convenient - only a 5-minute walk to downtown. Rooms were spacious and clean. The views of the Arenal Volcano from the pool deck are spectacular. Check-in was a breeze, and we found the management company to be very responsive to our inquiries. Glad we stayed here.

So much untapped potential.

This property has so much potential. Unfortunately that potential has not been tapped. The photos are accurate to a point. But on closer inspection there are many, many flaws. The furniture in the living room space is dirty and stained. We didn’t sit in there. The furniture in the TV area was not much better. The beds are comfortable. There is no hot water in the sinks in the main two bathrooms, only the showers and it’s complicated to operate. The bedroom furniture is very outdated. In the primary bedroom there is a double desk with small drawers. What was once a walk-in closet is now a strange kids bed space? There is no where to put your clothes. The washing machine took over an hour for a standard load. There was no soap. There were no towels or paper towels in the kitchen. If you want the pool fountain on you have to contact someone who controls it from an app.Everything seems on the verge of collapse; the furniture, the cabinets, the appliances, everything. Where wall fixtures were replaced you can see the dirt/ faded paint from the previous fixture. The landscaping while beautiful, was in desperate need of trimming. Etc.The whole time we were commenting on all the really cool things you could do with this house. It feels like the owner is cutting corners and costs to the detriment of the home. It screams potential! I feel sorry for the management company that has to deal with the owners neglect.I will not return to this property and do not recommend anyone stay here.
