Our stay in La Fortuna was wonderful and this property had an amazing location! The house is as shown. It’s not newer but it was clean! The pool and outdoor area was amazing! We were able to walk into town as well as to the rope swing (10 mins) and zip lining (15 mins). Overall, a great experience!

This is a very beautiful property that nicely and comfortably accommodated our group of 8 adults. It's spacious, pool area is great, 13 minute walk to town and shorter for a couple close restaurants. We felt very safe! Giselle is a lovely host and we accepted the option for an on-site meal for a couple of our lunches.

Great place on the edge of town!

The house was great, we managed to fit 13 people without much issue! Location was great, only a minute from downtown La Fortuna. The outdoor space was amazing, our kids basically lived at the pool and we enjoyed cooking on the open grill under the covered portico. The house was super clean, we would definitely recommend staying here if you need a large house close to town.

Lovely clean home close to town

The home is in a good location just south of downtown Fortuna. Only a 5 min drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Very clean and typical to the area. The hosts live right next door and were very helpful when we needed something.

This was perfect for our family of nine. It very close to the water hole that everyone likes to swim in. It was walking distance to a couple restaurants. The kitchen had plenty of supplies and room for everyone. The host was on site and was very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend it.

Exactly what we hoped to find… a centrally located place with access to all the things we wanted to do in the area and a comfy spot for the family to spend our downtime. Communication was great, hosts were responsive, neighbors were quiet. Definitely recommend.

Amazing family location

We had the best time here. We had a group of 11 including 6 adults and 5 kids from 3 to 8 years old. The pool isn't deep so it worked really well with the kids. The operators of the property are really responsive over WhatsApp and helped us get some good deals on tours. The proximity to town is also really convenient with a short walk or 1000 colones for an Uber.Would highly recommend this location and we had an amazing time.

Seven Day Intro To Costa Rica

Our family had a terrific time staying at Eder & Allen's property. While we were not off on a fun adventure, booked for us by Allen at Home Vacation Properties, we were chilling poolside just taking in the perfect temperature that Costa Rica had to offer. Accommodations were exactly as advertised and Allen was quite responsive every time we reached out. Thanks for booking all those excursions for us Allen, our family really enjoyed them!

Arenal family home

We had a lovely time staying at Arenal Family Home. Spacious, well stocked and walking distance to La Fortuna. Giselle was very helpful, especially when we forgot to get milk from the store or had trouble ordering food from a local restaurant. The vacation rental manager helped us with transportation. Jesus, our driver, was informative and kept us tranquilo in Pura Vida style! Highly recommend Arenal Family Home.

Beautiful home for a large group, so close to La Fortuna

We stayed at this home with another family, 13 in all. There was plenty of room for all of us, and it was very comfortable. Our kids really enjoyed the pool with the waterfall. Gisele cooked dinners for us which were both delicious and very convenient after touring. Speaking of touring, the property management company did a great job of coordinating tours for us. Eder and Alonzo were fantastic.

Wonderful stay!!!

This was such a wonderful home and we enjoyed every part of it! The house was clean, comfortable, and in a great location to the main area of La Fortuna! The hosts were so helpful on our journey from San Jose because of rain and made sure we had all the information we needed to make a safe journey. They drove us to our home to give us a tour and made sure we had everything we needed. Guiselle and her cooking made this trip a dream! She was so welcoming and the food was amazing. We were even asking her for her secrets! Definitely a great place for a family to stay!

Our stay at this house was wonderful. I left a review already but here is another. The house was spotless clean and very comfortable. The pool was immaculate and we enjoyed the waterfall and bbq deck. Gisselle is an excellent cook and teacher. We loved her cooking class for tortilla making. We couldn’t have asked for more.
