She was an excellent host. The place was perfect. We arrived later than expected and she called a local restaurant to fix us four plates and we arrived there at 9pm and ate a delicious meal! Thanks, Ericka! ##### Amy P.

The house is comfortable with the basic necessities for an enjoyable stay. Great location with excellent views of Arenal volcano, lake, and surrounding community. Guava tree next to home attracted a multitude of colorful birds. Rooftop view was amazing. Great place to reconnect to our amazing world. The owner and host were both very welcoming and helpful with our stay. Loved it! ##### Gary S.

It is perfect for two friends. An upstairs and and a downstairs apartment. Both cozy and the basics. We loved climbing the spiral staircase to get to the third floor. There is a porch swing with gorgeous views of the lake and the volcano. Easily walk to several local places to eat and mini-market. Loved it here. ##### ERIC A. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anant S. 21 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing house right outside La Fortuna! This was the perfect house for our stay in La Fortuna. It was only about a 25 min drive from the city and there were closer attractions as well. The house was the perfect size for our family of 4, although we spent most of our time on the balcony soaking up the amazing views. The property manager, Erika, was so helpful through out our entire stay. She helped us make reservations for activities we were interested in. There is the most amazing farm to table restaurant that is walking distance from the house that my family absolutely loved called Essence Arenal. This was a recommendation from Erika and we went several times over our 4 day stay. The restaurant happened to be completely vegetarian which worked out perfectly since my family is vegetarian! I can’t recommend this house enough !! ##### Anant S. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon H. 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### La Fortuna Vacation Family of 5 with 3 college age kids. This property was just as advertised. It is clean and simple but nice. Property has 2studio apartments and a rooftop terrace. No hammocks as in pics. The 3 kids took the downstairs floor with two beds and my husband and I took the second floor. No air conditioning but not needed with the ceiling fans and screened windows opened. Incredible views of the volcano and lake. The porches are great. No tv so we brought a couple of games and played theses in the evening. Not hard to get to but we arrived after dark and the roads were not the best to get there. There is a small market and a soda within walking distance. Very relaxing and beautiful stay. We would definitely stay again! ##### Shannon H.

The local host, Ericka, was super accommodating, even meeting us out on the road when we got turned around arriving the first night. The space was perfect for our group of 5 that included two teens. We absolutely loved sitting out on the porch or up on the roof just listening to the wildlife around us each morning as the sun came up and the wispy clouds moved around Arenal. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Located almost equally between La Fortuna and Arenal we appreciated the easy access to all of the activities we had planned. We also appreciated the quiet of this little area as compared to the busier La Fortuna area. We highly recommend the restaurant just down the road - Terrazas del Arenal (it has the alien out front and you have to pass it coming to the house). We loved it so much we ate there multiple times! The staff are super friendly, the food was delicious, the sunset views are outstanding, and the resident pups are the sweetest! Even better - it’s just a short walk from the house. If you’re looking to visit the La Fortuna/Arenal area don’t pass up this house! ##### Jennifer W. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy S. 1 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing stay! Where to begin? Let’s start from the booking! Even before I booked Melanie answered my questions and continued to be very responsive.Check in was efficient with staff onsite ready to show us everything and answer questions. Pictures don’t give the living area justice (basically 2 large studios). And we didn’t realize there was a 3rd floor with seating area!Living areas cleaned and all functional!Views - OMG!!! Again, nicer in person.Similar to another family we let kids stay downstairs with 2 beds (17 and 20… not kids anymore!) and upstairs is where we stayed and cooked.Washer dryer were great and nights were cool because of elevation so don’t let this stop you.Few authentic restaurants nearby (walking distance, much cheaper than in La Fortuna).Nothing negative to say. Very highly recommend!!!Thanks to host and staff for a very “zen” stay!Kathy ##### Kathy S. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle C. 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for giving teenagers their space Our family with two teenage boys loved this spot! They shared the downstairs and we stayed upstairs so they had some space to be messy, hang out when it rained, etc. We made our meals upstairs and it was gorgeous to eat and enjoy the spectacular view of the volcano. Behind the condo is a road that was the perfect afternoon hike. We saw monkeys playing wildly in the trees, as well as toucans and many reptiles. The property caretaker Gilbert was incredibly helpful and immediately answered any question we sent through Whats App. It's walkable to the lake, although it's a large dirt hill. Along the way there are several little restaurants. Our favorite was the restaurant closest to our VRBO home (I can't remember the name, but it's beautiful with a little alien in front). We rented paddleboards and a two-person kayak from Paddle & Peddle for a perfect day on Lake Arenal. We give this location thumbs up as long as you're comfortable with walking hills and dirt roads. ##### Danielle C.
