The house and properly are very beautiful. The hot tub water was a little stale at first but once we had it open and jets flowing it was fine. The rooms are great size with clean beds. House was plenty furnished. Gate with code to get on property so plenty safe with an easy driveway and parking area. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

This is a beautiful property outside of the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. It offers excellent amenities and ample space for multiple people. The only thing I recommend is that, if you plan to cook meals while there, check the kitchen before starting. We had some items we had to improvise for, but the things in place were fantastic.

The pool, beds and space on the property are excellent. The kitchen is small but functional although missing some common amenities (i.e. dish towels).
You can tell and appreciate that the construction is new and in relatively solid shape. There were a few items where the quality of the craftmanship was less than ideal. For example, the kitchen sink did not drain water (without debris) properly and there was a bathroom fixture that was loose.
One other minor issue, even though the area is up on a hill with a beautiful view, you can hear an ample amount of road noise from cars and trucks.
Even with those minor issues, the place was one that I would highly recommend to future guests.

This was our first time in La Fortuna and we loved the location of this rental home. It was about 15 minutes from downtown and had amazing views with beautiful gardens. The pool with Arenal in the background was breathtaking. However, we didn’t realize that only the bedrooms in this rental would have AC with the main part of the house (kitchen and living room) being more like a screened in porch. The bathrooms also had vents with screens to outside. It was a cool concept, but made it feel more like glamping than we were going for. Temperature wise, it was plenty cool in the main part of the house during the day because there was a great breeze blowing through the house; but, it definitely made it louder because the home is on a very busy road with lots of large truck traffic that is Jake braking until very late in the evening (we still heard them past 10 PM after we were already in bed). The kitchen is also very small, really only having enough room for one person at a time to be cooking or doing dishes. That being said, we still would return to this place just because of the pool and the views. The other two units were occupied yet we rarely saw the occupants other than a couple of times at the pool, making it feel like we had the whole place to ourself. Just bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper!
