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. ##### Crystal R.

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! ##### Lauren B.

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.

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. ##### Keith R.

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff C. 29 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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.

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. ##### Melissa R.

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. ##### Layne G. Stayed 28 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James W. 20 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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 ##### James W. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ---
