First of all, I would give Aurora's place a 6th and 7th star if possible. She and her family are very lovely! Before our arrival and during our stay communication with Aurora went without problems. She gave us all the information we needed to arrive at her place. Aurora and her son welcomed us and showed us around the farm house. We were speechless and couldn't believe how lucky we were! It is a wonderful old house with a lot of charme and beautiful furniture. Our room was very nice, Aurora even put some sweets to welcome us. We could use the spacious living room, the dining room and the cook Sonia prepared excellent breakfast and dinner when we asked for it! The garden is huge and very beautifully maintained. On a clear day you have a wonderful view over Mount Irazu and the whole valley. The center of Orosi ist just a few minutes away and you have quite a few options for frinking and eating. At La Uchuva you get the best Smoothies in all Costa Rica!!! To arrive at Tapantí Nationalpark it takes 20 minutes by car, it is definitely worth a visit. Staying at Aurora's farm house was one of my best Airbnb experiences and I will recommend Aurora's place to all of my friends who plan to come to Costa Rice / Orosi!JulianeMarch 2016
The coffee plantation house was great for my two sons and I. Aurora was very helpful and arranged for her cousin to meet us and show us around. Sonya the housekeeper/cook was wonderful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Tico experience in a lovely part of the country.TerryApril 2016
We had a lovely stay at this antique coffee farm house. Such a shame it was so short. But we will be back soon, for sure.JuanMay 2016
The 1920s coffee farmhouse is absolutely gorgeous with lots of vintage furniture and set in a lush garden full of birds. We were the only guests so we had the whole house to ourselves which made it an experience we will happily remember for a long time. The owner Aurora is very friendly and helpful and Sonja the cook made us delicious breakfasts. One of the most beautiful places we stayed in Costa Rica!RutgerApril 2016
Muy recomendado! Tuvimos una estadía en familia muy agradable en esta hermosa casa ubicada muy cerca del centro de Orosi. La casa es amplia, muy limpia y tiene mucho encanto. Los jardines son maravillosos, muy bien mantenidos, y las flores y los sonidos de los pájaros son un encanto! El desayuno esta incluido y doña Sonia se encarga de hacerlo sentir a uno como en su casa. Muchas gracias a Aurora por su hospitalidad!ArianeMay 2016

This place is beyond beautiful, the pictures don't even do it enough justice. Tucker's staff who help maintain the property are wonderful, kind and helpful in all aspects. The house was very clean with plenty of towels and linens all around. Stereo system for your music, the wifi is good as well. There are rainforest and mountain tours, and White water rafting nearby as well. Be warned, if you are highly afraid of bugs this could pose a problem for you because at night all the flying insects like to head towards the light in the house so don't leave the doors open. But they are only moths and light seeking bugs I only left with one mosquito bite and I think that was from the rainforest tour. Overall this place is absolutely incredible and Tucker was beyond a great host.AntoineFebruary 2015
The place is amazing, exceeded pretty high expectations also. The guys who run the property are incredibly helpful and will help with anything you need, they only speak Spanish but if you are an English only speaker Tucker, the owner is only a phone call away. Thoroughly recommend.James January 2016
This place was absolutely perfect!!! It had everything you could ever possibly need to be comfortable and just overall enjoy this place. The ride there was amazing! Very friendly taxi driver. We brought our dogs and they had a blast! Everything about the property was awesome! It was so clean and everything very well placed and thought out. There is an amazing little waterfall in the property!! It was so refreshing and so fun to play in. The beds were comfortable and everything very clean. Theres all sorts of books, magazines and movies to enjoy. The kitchen was equipped with absolutely everything you could need to make any sort of meal or bake. The view and tranquility of this amazing place is priceless. We hope to come back very very soon!!KenyaOctober 2015
Our stay at Volare was phenomenal, not only because of the spectacular property but the gracious house staff: Franklin and Yamilet, and our host Tucker. We chose Volare not just for the home's beauty, but it's location. Situated in the mountains, there's plenty of adventure to embark on. Planning the trip was not stressful because of our knowledgeable host Tucker has lived in Costa Rica for the last 20 years, therefore, she's a values asset in planning activities and she also responds quickly. We told her how lounge we were staying and what we liked to do, and she suggested several adorable activities, including hand gliding, white water rafting and canyoneering. We chose canyoneering, which I highly recommend for its exhilaration. Tucker booked the adventure for us and had Franklin take us. She also helped us rent a car, which I also recommend because while there is public transportation in the area, it's much easier to navigate with a car. Rental prices are reasonable. Tickle is by far one of the best hosts I've had because of her knowledge of the area and reliability. Franklin and Yamilet were also fabulous. Yamilet cleans, cooks and does laundry, while Franklin takes care of the house's exterior and can be hired as a tour guide and driver. Franklin greeted us at the airport in the truck we rented. San Jose does not have a major highway, so getting to the house involves streets and going up the mountains. If you're not familiar with the area, you can get lost. Having Franklin as our driver, made the trip enjoyable. On our last full day we hired him to take us to a local waterfall and a volcano. It was a fascinating trip because we learned all about local towns and local crops, including coffee, as we drove to these attractions. His wife Yamilet is a sweetheart. For a small fee you can hire her to cook a delectable meal that will suit any dietary needs. On our first full night we did just that. It was lovely relaxing in the home's hot tub and smelling her scrumptious meal as she prepared it. The dinner was amazing, and was made of the freshest ingredients and finest meats. The delectable mea really showed us why Costa Rica is known for its fine eats. She even brought over some local fruits for us to taste before dinner that night. Having Franklin and Yamilet around is really what made our stay so enjoying. We felt welcomed. As you can tell from the photographs, Volare itself is gorgeous. We fell in love with the house for its spectacular panoramic views. Tucker designed the house with one thing in mind, showcasing the beauty of the mountain from every room in the house. The house sits above the clouds. Every hour that passes is different as the clouds hug the home, then dissipate. It's breathtaking. The home is also fully stocked from pots and pans to towels and blankets. If you're...KathleenSeptember 2015
This was my first time using Airbnb. Volare was everything we wanted in a home in Costa Rica - it has breathtaking views and is located in an incredible town in Costa Rica which is home to some of the nicest people I have ever met. Tucker did an excellent job of giving us clear directions and suggestions of where to go. We got lost at one point and she helped us get home by speaking to some locals on the phone. Yami was a complete sweetheart and her first meal lasted us our whole stay (she cooks generously!) Franklin is also a complete sweetheart and very caring. He showed us the waterfalls and volcanoes - spending a long day driving us around and showing us around. I have NO reservations about the place, the city or the people. It was ALL amazing and fun!PalwashaApril 2016
Absolutely unbelievable! We stayed in 3 places in Costa Rica, including a 4-star resort, and this was by far the best place we stayed. Tucker was one of the best hosts we've ever had on AirBnB and her staff were very helpful and genuinely nice/great people. If we come back to Costa Rica, we are definitely staying here again if Tucker will have us!JohnDecember 2015
Before even arriving at the house, Tucker was super helpful in assisting me with arranging my trip and providing suggestions. Tucker allowed me to call her and she further assisted me by reserving a car for us and finding the best routes and places to travel after leaving her house. In regards to the house, it was BEAUTIFUL!!! I highly recommend staying there. It was a very peaceful and serene getaway place. The staff at the house were also super nice and helpful. Franklin picked us up from the airport and his wife Yamilet cooked us a delicious dinner ( highly recommend paying the little extra fee for her freshly cooked meals). This house is definetly a must see/experience!!! Although we were only able to stay for such a short time, we were able to enjoy it to the fullest.NadaMarch 2016
We haven't met Tucker personally but the communication was very fast and smooth. Yami and Franklin were unbelievable friendly, carrying and helpful. One evening we also enjoyed Yamis delecious dinner. The view is really amazing and the property as described, but it counts a lot of years and it's battered accordingly.AndreasMarch 2016

Great location, far from the hustle and bustle. Very clean facilities, and comfortable common area. Felipe was a great host, and is super sociable. Glad we got to come here and experience the Pipe House!AlexMay 2016
What an amazing and fun place!!! Our shared transportation vehicle didn't go all the way to The Pipe House, so we were dropped off at Hotel Cantarana, (definitely within walking distance to the Pipe House however), but Felipe was more than willing to come pick us up since we had heavy bags. We arrived at The Pipe House and were pleasantly surprised with the area and how close it was to the beach (about 1 block). We immediately made friends with some other guys staying there (that's what makes hostels so awesome). Had a great time cooking, having beers, relaxing on the property. Either Felipe or his girlfriend were always available for whatever we needed. He even arranged transportation for us the following day with a friend of his, Juan. This was another awesome experience as Jaun took us on the backroads to our hotel in Playa Potrero. Felipe, his girlfriend and friend were soooo accomadating. Now, lets' talk about the pipes. AMAZING! My friend and I got 2 separate ones because we are tall people and had lots of luggage. You could share. VERY comfortable beds, WIFI, electricity in the pipes, and A/C that will cool down your pipe within 1 minute (not exaggerating). There are 2 bathrooms and showers for each men and women as well. Very clean and more impressive than you'd expect for a "hostel". The shared cooking area outside is great! Felipe has equipped the kitchen with all the pans, pots, coffee maker, plates, everything you need....just stop at the local grocery store for food (a 10-15 minute walk from The Pipe House). Having breakfast before we left, and kept noticing twigs and leaves falling from the tree above the kitchen area....I finally looked up and saw 8 howler monkeys! babies included!!! how amazing! The beach is a house away and awesome for surfing, swimming, whatever! I would recommend this place 110% to ANYONE!!!! Ask Felipe for the story behind his pipes. The property has meaning to him. Enjoy!KellyJanuary 2016
Felipe is a very generous and friendly host! We appreciated his flexibility on arrival and departure times. Thanks for the tips on beaches!NoelleMay 2016
Our stay at the pipehouse was one the highlights of our Costa Rica trip so far. The host & owner Filipe was very welcoming and one of the nicest Tico's we've met while being down here! the evenings you can relax and chill in the open kitchen with the others who are staying which was also an added bonus. The pipehouse itself is a very nice place; all of the facilities are clean, its very characteristic and its an experience in itself. With airconditioning in each pipe you dont have to wory about sweating your socks off, even in the tropical heat. Its's about 50 meters from your (just about private) Playa Grande which is excellent for surfing. We've rented a board at a local diner/surfhostel which was walking distance from the pipes. In comparison to the famed 'Tamarindo' which is about a 15/20 minutes walk + a 1 minute boatride away I would say this is about a billion times more interesting. Make sure to bring some insect reppelent because the mosquitoes at playa Grande don't mess about! Would def. 100% recommend and revisit if we're in the neighbourhood again. Thanks again Filipe! You the man ;) Cheers, Mark & MirtheMirtheMay 2016
The pipe house is awesome! An awesome backstory and a great owner! Felipe was super helpful in helping us find things to do and fixing things quickly. I was super impressed with the accommodation and would recommend it to anyone.SamFebruary 2016
Everything was super easy and breezy with Felipe! His property is amazing, everything is very clean and well organized! Open and welcoming environment and RIGHT off the beach! He was an amazingly helpful host and was always quick to respond and very very friendly when we were staying. He helped us find the easiest and cheapest way to get to the pipehouse and then arranged transfers to the airport for us at an ungodly early morning hour. Nothing was a trouble for him and we felt very comfortable staying at his property. The pipes are SUPER cool too!Charity & BryanJanuary 2016
A truly unique and awesome place to stay. Not to mention the best night of sleep we had in Costa Rica. Felipe's a great guy, and we would happily stay here again!JustinMarch 2016
Great experience being in a hostel with my boyfriend who has never been in a hostel. He couldn't believe how neat, clean, and friendly all travelers were on site. The pipes are a 15 second walk to Playa Grande beach and a 10 minute walk to Tamarindo (accessible via water "taxi"). The pipes were a great and intimate experience. It was cozy with enough standing room for a 6 ft man. The food market was a short walk down the beach. Kitchen area had everything you needed to cook. You could also eat at restaurants near by. Felipe was a great host. He arranged for private transportation (highly recommended for short trips). I opted to not rent a 4x4 and glad I didn't as it would have been difficult for me to navigate. There is a safe place to park should you decide to rent. Great locations for a place to unwind.JeannyFebruary 2016

My girlfriend and I spent 5 days near Jaco for our friends wedding at Hotel Villa Caletas. Bina's house was in a great location to drive to and from all of the wedding activities (about a 10 min drive to Villa Caletas and 20-25 to Jaco Beach). The property itself was extremely beautiful and beyond private. The house could've used a bit of cleaning up before we arrived. But all in all we enjoyed our stay. Also, the property manager, Buck, was very nice and helpful. He's a real genuine guy. He helped us out with a few hiccups with the property, and recommended great local restaurants and events.DarrylApril 2016
We had a great time!! The house is wonderful and spacious.... Perfect time there! The pool area is really nice....ElenaMarch 2016
La experiencia fue fantástica! La rápida respuesta de la anfitriona nos permitió reservar el lugar en menos de una hora. La casa es bella y grande, con todas las comodidades que se necesitan. La propiedad está ubicada en medio del bosque, rodeada de impresionante naturaleza, con vistas hermosas, con 100% de privacidad, y al mismo tiempo a pocos minutos de la playa y de lugares turísticos . Definitivamente volveremos!!KarlaApril 2016

The house was spacious and pool was perfect for the kids. The area felt safe. Hostess accepted changes in check in/out and adding people (2 kids under 8 years) to reservation but was only worried about receiving the extra money since there was no sleeping accommodations for a 2 yr old. The path to the beach wasn't smooth and the gate was made of fallen branches poorly put together. We had to clean up all dangerous branches in the middle of the walkway to beach since even adults could have gotten hurt not to mention a toddler. Listing was a little glorified since having a beach that we couldn't enjoy due to bank of rocks near shore was never mentioned in listing. In front of the house there's an un paved road so I could understand more dust than usual but we had to spend time killing roaches and washing all utensils constantly in order to prepare a simple meal. All floors and furniture were dusty even after the "cleaning team" (1 woman) went to clean after being called. There were dog feces on the patio furniture. Beach towels were advertised on airbnb.com and were not found, there weren't enough towels. The listing said a cleaning person would go on Monday, and the person who greeted us with keys said Tuesday but she didn't arrive until we called for her. Most of the kitchen appliances and electrics especially the stove, microwave and refrigerator were not working properly; the AC in both bedrooms wasn't big enough to cool rooms that there were dusty fans to help with temperature. The whole purpose of renting a house was to be able to feel like home. The kids called it the hell house. The final touch was the constant calls starting at 7:30am to find out what time to meet to give keys back when listing said check out is 12. However, an agreement was made 2 months prior during booking process and a reminder was sent to hostess a week prior to arrival of said agreement. Hostess had lapse of memory loss that she put a request to Airbnb for $100 due to checking late, but we were on schedule. Even "cleaning team" came around 10am to start cleaning up which we didn't have a problem letting in. Hostess needs to improve on her customer service skills and work on her tone when sending emails to renters. Stop treating people like second class citizens.KarenJuly 2015
Four friends and I stayed at Casa Verde for a week and had a very enjoyable experience. The house is as nice as it looks in the pictures, and is located on a beautiful piece of property set back a few hundred feet from the beach. The house and pool were clean, and the sea breeze made the temperature in the house very comfortable with the windows open. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking equipment, and has an electric range with four burners but no oven. The beach is a mix of sand and areas of rock. There is a nice break in front of the Playa Negra Hotel just a short walk down the beach. It is a nice surf spot and the hotel is a great place to enjoy a fire on the beach, play volleyball and meet some cool people. The manager of the property was incredibly helpful in providing recommendations about where to eat, where to buy groceries, what excursions are fun, and what to do in the area around the house. However, ensure that you purchase a wireless plan for the week or set up a time that you want him to let you into the house, as our hones didn't work and we had to use the neighbors phone to reach him. The house is about one to one and a half hours from the Liberia airport and around four hours from the San Jose airport by car. There are some nice restaurants a short walk or drive from the house, small grocery stores, and places to rent surf gear. My group is in agreement that we would love to return.JoshMarch 2014
Quiet, peaceful, and serene this house is a great deal within walking distance to a great break. 5 Minute walk to Playa Negra and easy drive to shops in town. Terrific breeze on the second floor with the ceiling fans and windows open - we didn't have to turn on the AC our entire stay.DavidAugust 2013
Our stay at Casa Negra was everything we expected and more. My family had a great and comfortable time at Roxanna's home. The pool, beach, wildlife, house amenities were perfect for our needs. House size was surprisingly bigger which was great, the pictures don't give a full picture of the place. View towards the ocean from the pool area was fantastic. Joff greeted us right on time, was friendly, made sure we had everything we needed and went out of his way to get us some extra equipment for our baby. He was quite helpful at giving us the ins and outs of the area and recommending places to visit and eat at. The cleaning lady came once a week as advertised and did what needed to be done, she was quite friendly as well. We loved the area as it was more quiet yet we had Tamarindo close by for the touristy days. Felt very safe and had no incidents. Followed the house rules by leaving expensive items in the safe, locking doors/windows and we had no issues. The surf was great, Javier at Pargos Adventures was also quite help[ful at getting us what we needed for surf and tours outside of the area. Overall excellent experience and would definitely go back. Thank you Roxanna and Joff for everything.CrisApril 2016
This was everything we expected. Private, lots of room, and relatively secluded. It was perfect for the 6 of us- wife son, daughter in law, and 2 children ages 3 and 11. The pool was perfect for the kids, easy access to the beach and a nice beach that did not have all the people up at the resort. Paul was great and very helpful with a lot of local insight. The house is very open and bedrooms have a/c which certainly helps. The kitchen is small and not modern, temperamental stove, and one basin sink to wash in. You can make it work but don't expect anything fancy. Our only big problem was security. Even though its a gated community- Paul, the caretaker told us to be alert to theft and lock our electronics and valuables in the safe and lock the house whenever we left, even for the beach. I am glad he told us and even though we always locked up someone still jimmied the bedroom window on the first floor, and broke in, taking whatever they could get their hands on. The thieves must have been watching the house, and our daily schedule, to achieve their goal. This unfortunate, and expensive experience, could easily have been prevented with the installation of bars on the windows on the first floor.charlesFebruary 2016
Four of us and our 10 month old stayed this March, 2015. The house was exactly as described in a very quiet location on a quiet, beautiful beach. Monkeys, iguanas, and more hermit crabs than you can count were our company... plus a few freaky and cool arthropods. Sarah and Joff, the couple who dropped off the keys were wonderful people full of great conversation and advice. Digna who takes care of garbage and laundry was also very sweet and respectful of space. Thank you.GrahamApril 2015
OUR CASA VERDE EXPERIENCE We were 5 people. Two couples and a single. (Two active seniors and three super active 25 – 35's.) We were there for 16 days. All in all we had a fantastic time and are considering a return THE BOOKING EXPERIENCE Roxanna, the owner, could not have been nicer. She gave us all the information we needed prior to arrival. THE HOUSE PLUS SIDE - The house is big and airy. Lots of fans kept air circulating - Three private baths for the three bedrooms was a BIG plus - Beds were comfortable - Showers were good. Plenty of towels and a clothes line for damp stuff. - Washer and dryer was also available. (didn't use them much) - Good drinking water from the tap - Great spaces for working out - The walk to the beach was not far - An outside shower rinsed off the salt and sand - Pool was great for cooling off but not deep enough for swimming - Lots of wild life: Monkeys, birds, all kinds of crabs, frogs, bats, dragonflies, butterflies - Bugs weren't too bad MINUS SIDE We are all good cooks and felt that the kitchen was the weak point - Stove and fridge need some serious upgrading - Not enough silverware - A couple of "good" maps of the area would have helped a lot for our first couple of days. We were constantly lost because signage is virtually non-existent and all dirt roads look the same. - Wi-fi was advertised but was non-existent and it was inconvenient to have to go into town to try to get on the web MISC. - The house managers Joff and Sara were invaluable resources for local information . They and their kids could not have been nicer. - The cleaning lady Digna was also very nice though she speaks very little English. - Everyone we came in contact with was friendlyBeverlyAugust 2014
We did not ever meet Roxanna but were met but Joffrey and he let us in and quickly explained the house upon our arrival. He very kindly came back again the next day to meet with us again as we were completely exhausted the night before when we had finally arrived. The directions Roxanna gave us worked it just took time and we had no idea how crazy the roads would be. The rest of the time Paul who was staying on the property in the little "garage" was there to answer any of our questions when we sought him out. He respected our privacy around the house and pool but we came to love him more and more each day. He was wonderfully laid back and just let us relax even more into our holidays giving us tips for the area as well. The house itself if perfect for a relaxing family vacation. We spent our time split on the beautiful beach or by the pool. The house has everything you need. Often places look better online with the pictures and descriptions but our family truly felt as thought we had scored the jackpot with this rental.ChristineJanuary 2016

The view is breathtaking, and you can hear the surf from your bedroom at night. Enjoying a cocktail on the balcony at sunset or grilling on the pool deck overlooking the coast is enough to keep you away from the town of Santa Teresa, which is hard to imagine considering the awesome yoga/surfing vibe the town has. The ac keeps you more than cool at night, as does the pool on a hot day. Best of all, Jessica and Mike were unbeleivably available, emailing us maps to waterfalls and answering every curiosity we have, even though they just welcomed a new addition to their family that week! And hopefully you get to meet Caru, their amazing interim caretaker who gave my girlfriend private yoga lessons on the deck and was overall just an awesome person. A special place.

I highly recommend this place. The view is spectacular, and laying in bed listening to the rain at night was so relaxing. The house itself is brand new and very nice, and we did all of our hikes right from there. It is outside La Fortuna but there is a shuttle available twice daily if you do not have your own vehicle and want to go into town. Hannah and Tomas are great local hosts and helped us with anything we needed or had questions about.RachelJanuary 2015
Hanna and Thomas were great at welcoming us and providing us tips about the region. Linda and Andy were super helpful in providing information before we arrived. The house is as shown in the pictures, the view from the top is even better. The location is fantastic for most of the activities around (cerro chato, hiking, ziplines, horse-backriding, etc). I was there with my wife and two kids (12 and 10) and we had a great time. A scarlet macaw and an armadillo visited the place while we were there.franciscoJuly 2015
We had a great time in El Castillo and Andy & Linda's house. We were there just two days but Thomas was the perfect host. He received us in La Gavilana, a very special space that you must know in El Castillo and give us all the instructions and information we asked about Arenal, and we asked a lot! He also came to the house late at night when apperently the WIFI connection was lost and he fixed it in a few mintues giving us a big hand because we need it to make some reservations for the next day. The house is amazing. Perfect veiws of the Arenal volcano from the rooftop but also from the 1st floor (you have acces to both) If you are thinking to go to Arenal you need to know two things: first of all the volcano is classified as dormant since 2010. If you expect to see an active volcano with some explosions you must know there are not since five years ago. On the other hand, if you want to visit this beautiful and authentic place in Costa Rica, this is the best place to be.LorenaDecember 2015
My boyfriend and I stayed in the upper suite at Andy and Linda's and had an amazing time. Their place was clean and spacious nestled in beautiful and quaint El Castillo. THe view was magnificient. We had delicious pizza at Howler's and some of the best burritos I have ever had at La Ventanita down the road. We also went on a private horseback/waterfall tour set up by Thomas and were amazed. We also visited Sky Trek and went on their Sky Limit tour which includes zip-lining, waterfall rapelling, a Tarzan swing, and several other challenging and thrilling activities in the rainforest. It was one of the best times I have ever had. We highly recommend this listing and are so thankful to have stayed in such an amazing place! Andy and Linda were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had, and even helped me when I reserved the wrong date for this listing at first! They are so sweet. I wish we had more days in El Castillo, it was a wonderful place to begin our Costa Rican adventure.AmyMay 2016
Great experience at El Castillo. Home was very beautiful with amazing rooftop and porch views of volcano. Andy and Linda created a booklet that was very helpful which included all contact info for different activities and restaurants. Hannah and Thomas were very helpful as well.GabrielMarch 2016
The studio was exactly like you see in the pictures - lovely and in perfect condition. The bed is firm and you will enjoy the rest after hiking, horse riding, zip lining etc. all near the location. Definitely advise a AWD to have peace of mind when driving the last few kilometers. Highly recommend for a peaceful and out in the country stay. Our kids miss the neighbors dogs and roasters ! PS: Tomas was super helpful in providing us with extra sheets when we needed it. Nice to have somebody so gentil nearby.PascalDecember 2015
Great place! Beautiful area. We loved the sodas in El Castillo. The views from the deck are great, too. The hosts were very responsive and checking in after hours was a breeze thanks to Hannah and Thomas. Definitely rent a SUV if you are driving there. The last 10km are very rough. If you plan to do multiple activities in La Fortuna I would stay closer to La Fortuna. This is a bit of drive from La Fortuna if you include the time spent on the rocky bumpy road. We did a full day in La Fortuna and the other activities near El Castillo so we only had to drive the road back and forth a few times.AlissaFebruary 2016
Amazing place! Very modern! Beautiful place and spectacular views!!!!! Off the beaten path for sure so make sure that's what you're looking for but it is absolutely wonderful! Great location for all attractions in Arenal park and la fortuna area! The hosts could not have been more kind and helpful! Enjoyed every minute of it!ErinApril 2016

Great place to crash for a few days - so very close to the airport and several good restaurants. the apartment has documentation in the living room that recommends places to go and see. Luis was very responsive to all our questions prior to arrival.JudithApril 2016
Amazing condo just outside Liberia and near to the airport. Would definitely return. Short drive to Coco Beach, new appliances, a/c in all rooms, fresh linens, modern look and upscale. Better than most hotels I have stayed in while in Costa Rica.henryNovember 2015
Although we didn't get a chance to meet Luis, he was very easy to contact and quick to reply to emails, and questions. The condo is as described in the post. It was clean and had everything we needed. We didn't have a car but we booked tours that came to pick us up at the condo. The cellphone came in handy. The only thing I would advise is that Liberia town is the closest thing around and you need a car or taxi to get there (10$). Overall we are very satisfied with our stay there.WendyDecember 2014
Luis was an amazing host, I never met him personally but he responded quickly to my emails. This was perfect for my family, every thing I needed was there. Kids loved the pool. It was easy to find. Very quiet and private. If I come back to this side of Costa Rica I will stay here again! It's a great price for the amenities and perfect location.MableApril 2016
We stayed here in May for one night and it is a great apartment. It has a safe parking lot, great pool, laundry facilities, gym and barbeque area. The apartment is new, clean, has a great equippet kitchen og very comfortable beds. It is a 25 min drive to the beach and 5 min to Liberia city, so it is a good locations. I recommend this place.MariaMay 2014
Very good welcome from the guy at the gate. Very effective and friendly.BernardSeptember 2014
Luis was very prompt with communications and we had no trouble with getting the key from the security guard to get into the complex. The apartment was just as described and had everything we needed and more. Kitchen was great! AC worked perfectly and all instructions were clear and explained all we needed. It looks down on the pools. One thing guests need to be aware of is that you have to walk up 3 flights of stairs to the apartment. No problem for us but some may have difficulty with getting luggage up there. Overall an excellent experience at a very reasonable rate.EmilyMarch 2015

This has been our favorite place!! Thank you so much Eva & Brian for sharing this with us..the love, creativity & sheer marvel of construction of this beautiful place left us speechless (my husband is a builder & has a lot of questions for you:):). We did not have the pleasure of meeting, but the caretakers of the treehouse were attentive, yet respectful of our space. Eva responded to us right away & had great instructions for our arrival. I cannot really put into words how special this place is..my words would be, if you can get here, DO IT!!!! Chris's comment was..You can see the curvature of the earth from here!!!! wonderfulamandaFebruary 2016
All was great, house is very cool! Was little too hot for us at night without aircon.. All the rest was super fine!IlyaMay 2016
Amazing place to stay, we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a true Jungle experience. The place is beautifully built and decorated. We were sad to leave.PaulFebruary 2016
Everything about this structure is incredible: its location, its view, its construction. The photos show things very accurately - yes the woodwork is that amazing, and yes, the benches made from a tree trunk are that uncomfortable (but we kept sitting in them anyway, as they are so cool). My wife, 8 year-old daughter, and I loved staying here. With that said, and our hearty recommendation, here is some additional info for those who may be wondering if it's going to work for them. The location is 40 minutes from Puerto Jimenez at a good clip, so you want to get supplies on the way in. The drive down the access road is longer than it first appears, and this is a case where 4WD is definitely necessary (as compared to where people say it is, but you can get by without). The caretaker lives directly next door so you will see him often, and he'll open the rain screens if it will be dry. If you don't speak Spanish, though, bring a good translation app. The kitchen is very basic: pots, plates, bowls, cups, utensils and very good knives. Bring your own condiments (including salt/pepper/sugar), paper towels, and food, but there is jungle-friendly soap there. There is a "sock" type of coffee pourover. The staircase is a large spiral one, the stairs of different widths, and it is unlit. So small flashlights for everyone are mandatory. It is as high as it looks, too. Animals are everywhere. We saw an amazing array of monkeys (capuchin and spider), scarlet macaws, poison dart frogs, peccaries, agoutis, blue morphos, lizards, and insects. Some will end up in the house, so keep your food locked up. While the place is solar-powered, we didn't really notice. The fridge works great, the lights are adequate and we were able to charge all of our devices. It is hot and humid, and the cool shower outside is nice. It does have hot water, but we were not able to adjust it below "scalding", so we used only cold. The local travel company the owners partner with were excellent for us to deal with. They arranged a mangrove kayak tour, a boat to the Osa Wildlife Sanctuary, and a flight, guide, and entrance to Corcovado -- all highly recommended trips. This isn't a luxury house in the middle of the jungle, so if you're looking for a pool and A/C, then move along. What it is, is the most refined platform camping you can imagine. And judged on that basis it's amazing, and a place my family will always remember staying.MichaelApril 2016
This is a truly amazing property with a wonderful design, great view, and a direct relationship with the natural splendor all around. It's a very special place. We definitely want to stay here again!russellJanuary 2015

There are too many positives to list them. If you book the Monteverde Hideway you will not be disappointed. From the gorgeous view waking up in the morning, to the sloth doing acrobatics in the trees out front to Beth and Manolo who are superb hosts. It is all good! We had a lovely three night stay as a family of six people in their Cabina. The grandparents slept in the room down below while our kids (4 and 6) slept in one bedroom and we slept in the other upstairs. It was perfect for a young family of four plus the abuelos. We found it no problem to share the one shower (my in-laws really appreciated the toilet and sink in their room). We cooked all our breakfasts and dinners in the well equipped kitchen and loved sitting around the table for 6 in the evening. What a great place! We can't wait to come back!MercyDecember 2015
Beth is not only a good host, she also feels like an old friend. She's heartwarming, always willing to help you. She took my husband to the pharmacy late at night, she baked a cake for us and her lovely son played with our youngest son. She's always there in the background, never too much. Thank you Beth, you gave us these unforgettable memories of your wonderful cabin in Monteverde.Ghita August 2015
Our stay at the Monteverde Forest Hideaway was fabulous! The location was quite convenient to Santa Elena, but enough off the beaten track to provide a restful respite from the tourist scene. It was very quiet, clean and comfortable, with a well-stocked kitchen and a wonderful deck looking out over the jungle. As we arrived, we were treated to the smell of homemade bread fresh from the oven and the sight of a toucanet on the railing of the deck! We ended up using the downstairs bedroom and bath as well, which allowed us to spread out and was as comfortable as the two bedrooms upstairs. Beth was extremely interested in and attentive to our plans in the area, and helped arrange several activities for us. Her contacts and recommendations all proved to be excellent. One of the highlights was a Manolo-guided trip to the Cloud Forest on the second morning. We were sorry to leave Monteverde and the Hideaway behind after our three nights.Jim & LindaAugust 2014
I am so glad that I read all the past reviews written about The Hideaway and went based on them. I can only add to the list of satisfied customers. We are a family of four visiting Costa Rica for the first time. We had rented the Hideaway for three nights 12-15 Jan 2014. Our directions were spot on and we found the place without a hitch. Beth and Manolo were there to greet us with the famous Mango Bread freshly baked. Manolo took us into town to give us a quick overall of the lay out and places to eat. The Hideaway is a perfect retreat to stay in, so close to everything. Manolo helped us with a minor car problem which was wonderful as we had no tools to work with. We also hired him to guide us through the forest and point out birds and animals. He is very knowledgeable and speaks perfect English. He is someone who obviously enjoys his job as a naturalist and continues to educate himself on the forest and it's critters. Beth is warm and kind and a perfect host. The houses are clean and cosy and only a few yards from the hosts house so they are on hand if ever there's a problem. We met the two children of the family, again very polite and charming. The town of Santa Elana is about two miles from the Hideaway and although you can walk it's pretty rough underfoot. Santa Elana is a great small town with everything you need. The people are friendly and everyone knows the Quinn/Solis family so you feel very comfortable being there. Supermarket is adequate for what you need. Restaurants are plentiful and delicious. Monteverde is a little further, maybe 5 miles away where there is the famous zip lining and canopy tours and hanging bridges. The Arenal Volcano is about a four hour drive away, so for us it was not doable in the time we had. It's only about 60-70 miles but the road to it is very poor. Once again I cannot say enough positive remarks about our stay, we all thoroughly enjoyed it and I cannot imagine Beth and Manolo will ever be short of people wanting to rent their properties. Thank you so much for a great stay. Sincerley the Ralling Family New Jersey, USA.sherylJanuary 2014
I connected with Beth from the very beginning. I saw the pictures of the property. More important to me was responsiveness and consciousness. Beth conveyed both. Every question I had, prior to booking, was answered. I would say that the house we rented exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful. I was mesmerized by the views into the forest. It was quiet. Super quiet. The view from the main bedroom is a dream come true. Pictures on the website are inadequate. The property is much more than the pictures show. Beth's hospitality is awesome. I have made a friend for a lifetime. Beth is happy to make connections depending on your desires. I could not have been happier.JudiNovember 2015
Our hosts both made us feel incredibly welcome, from the warm bread in the oven, to the warm hugs from Beth. They were so helpful with answering our questions to Manolo's guides through the Cloud Forest and a lovely night tour where we saw birds, tarantula tucked in his nest, and an armadillo! We loved our stay and the welcoming sloth in the tree out our window!claudiaFebruary 2015
Beth was a wonderful communicator. She had valuable information and suggestions. Manolo was an excellent host and guide. He took good care of me and my family by picking us up from the bus stop, sharing information about his home town, making suggestions on where to eat and what to do. The houses were great, our beds were cozy and comforable, not hot at all. The showers were warm and the wifi worked well in the apartment. The banana bread that Manolo baked was an unexpected, but wonderful surprise. We definately pland to share this wonderful place with other family members and friends.Mary July 2014
Staying at Beth's Monteverde Forest Hideaway was the highlight of my trip. The stay and checking process was enjoyable and easy. I would highly recommend this location due to Beth's personal touch. She bakes banana bread for all her guest to feel welcome. She was genuinely helpful and willing to answer any question I had about the hideaway and fun activities. During my stay, my group saw a local sloth in Beth's tree scratching himself and napping.TiffanySeptember 2015

Awesome condo. Very nicely decorated. Furnished. Good size of bedroom and bathroom. Very nice kitchen with coffee maker/tea pot, oven. Great American quality. Best that we had in Costa Rica. Most local homes/hotel had quality few steps down: bad A/C, old towels. This condo manages by European/Americans - it's keeps European/American standard. Great location. Has ocean view. Infinity pool with ocean view. Walking distance to the beach. Laundry. Free of charge. In Costa Rica laundry cost you arm and legs. Locals takes advantage of you of cost of laundry. Here is free. Great quality of washer/dryer. Feels like home. I am from Atlanta, GARuslanaDecember 2015
The apartment is really nice! Quite close to the beach (though its in a hill, so its better if you have a vehicle), and is in a really good condition. It fits 6 people perfectly, as there are 2 beds (one king and one double) and a double sofa-bed (its comfy!). The person in charge of meeting us and letting us in was also very nice, she waited until late (as we were delayed) and also offered very good advices of restaurants and activities in the area.AdriDecember 2015
We had a great time at Flamingo, the condo is very well equipped, we felt really good arriving every night from the beach with our baby and finding a comfortable place with all the amenities he/we needed. We cooked a lot, the kitchen has everything you need. Thanks Zuby and Natasha for going the extra mile and have towels, movies, ice, and even buggy boards! I definitely recommend this place!PabloDecember 2015
Very very glad for choosing to stay at Zuby's and Natasha's place. First of all Saioa (the person in charge of the apartment) is a responsible and so sympathetic person. Gracias Saioa, encantada de haberte conocido! The place is clean and fully equipped with even more than you can need. The location is great, close to many beautiful beaches like Conchal for example, and accessible by walking to Flamingo beach. Thank you for everything. We recommend it and would definitely come back again.DianaApril 2016
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is so well equipped that you will find everything you need for a pleasant stay - and for sure something on top of that. All communication with host as well as house keeper was just running smoothly. The apartment is very well located in walking distance to restaurants and beaches.SifJanuary 2016
Arrived 6pm (dusk) after a long drive, Saoia met us at the entrance to Flamingo to lead us to condo. She was very helpful, had a map with area marked for beaches, restaurants, markets and pubs. Went over all info for condo and gave us some good tips. Very professional and helpful. Condo was perfect, very clean, well outfitted and nicely decorated. Cold water, ice and coffee plus all amenities were provided. Saoia did not have passes for Playa Flamingo and said we were not actually allowed to use it due to changes with the resort, but we would probably be alright if we just stated we were new and trying it out. TV was away being repaired so we did not use during our stay, which turned out OK as this is a perfect central location for exploring the beaches and area, and we spent so much time doing so that we did not even go to the resort or watch any TV. Did not use Rigo, as we only did one tour we booked ourselves. Condo was setup perfect, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Location was excellent, very quiet area with good access to pools. Gym and laundry were right next door which was very handy. Great place and very professionally run. Thank you guys for the use of it, we will definitely recommend to others.LenApril 2016
We had an amazing time in Playa Flamingo! We started off our stay with transportation provided by Ringo (the travel concierge) which was prompt, clean, with a very informative driver. Once we arrived to the condo we met Saioa (the person in charge of the apartment). She provided us with great information about the local must dos and what we can miss. Saioa was also available 24/7 if we had any issues. The Condo is beautiful decorated with plenty of local treasures and well maintained. The pools on the property are beautiful, we spent a few days well hanging out by both of the pools with such amazing views it was hard to resist. The locals are extremely nice and there is plenty of good eats within walking distance. We arranged a trip to Nicaragua with Ringo and had a wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing your space with us! This trip is one we will never forget.OlishaMay 2016
Amazing! Saioa made sure we knew exactly where everything was by giving us a map and telling us the best places to go and there were no disappointments. It felt wonderful coming back to a clean and safe apartment everyday that we were there. Costa Rica was amazing. We will be returning!! Thanks to all that made our stay wonderful.KristenNovember 2015

We don't know how to describe what an amazing weekend we had in this awesome house. Let me start with this beautiful house: you are going to feel at home as soon as you drive in the property. We were a group of nine and all of us slept very comfortable (the beds are greatRodheMarch 2016
The house is wonderful. We enjoyed spending time on the property specially the backyard and the pond. The variety of plants and birds I have seen around the house makes me think I'm living in a mini botanical garden. Great experience. We are vegetarians and Yadira was very helpful and accommodating. making our stay very comfortable.PratikApril 2016
I visited the Fortuna area in a group of 6 (2 couples and 2 friends), all of us around 30. The villa rental was perfect for our group. It was spacious, very relaxing, had a pool and great view of plains, trees and mountains in the distance. There was wifi. We were 10 minutes from all the activities available in Fortuna, and just about a block away from the center a small town called El Tanque. Some town noise was audible during daylight hours, but not bothersome. There is air conditioning in all of the bedrooms. There is a housekeeper who lives with her family on the same property in a small house nextdoor, and a groundskeeper that is frequently around during daylight hours. They will give you privacy, but are frequently present. The housekeeper offers dinner (for a reasonable per person price), which we did one night, and was absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend!OwenMarch 2016
Property is fantastic and we had a great time. Its location is close enough to the center of activity to be a short and convenient drive, while far enough away to be quiet. Jorge made us feel welcome and the staff were wonderful as well.MichaelJanuary 2016
My family loved Jorge's ranch. It was open and airy offering alot of outdoor seating options. The pool was extremely refreshing with the fresh water. It was a quick 6 minute drive into LaFortuna. The listing is extremely accurate.KeelyMarch 2016
When we arrived, we were welcomed warmly. The host walked us through the home and explained how everything worked. She had green coconuts opened and ready for us to drink such fresh and cool coconut water! The property was well prepared and so beautiful! We enjoyed the pool and patio. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. Our party of 8 enjoyed the space and the opportunity it gave us to really spend time together as a group with adults and young children. The house was located perfectly We spent time in Thermal Springs, hanging bridges and it did not take long at all for us to get where we wanted to go. Well located, wonderful hosts, such a gem. When we find our way to CR again, we would definitely stay at Ranch Villa again!NicoleApril 2016
Posted pictures don't do justice to this ranch house! The property is beautiful and spacious. We loved everything about the ranch house - spacious bed rooms, open family room in the back with a hammock, well manicured lawn, rustic charm of the farm, ice cold coconuts in the fridge, big swimming pool with a kiddie pool, the creek in the backyard with lotus flowers in it - I can go on further. It is conveniently located: just off the main road in El Tanque, so very easily accessible and close to grocery store etc. And it is just 30-45 minutes drive from hot springs, La Fortuna water fall, mystico hanging bridges, lake arenal etc. Finally about the host: Jorge is easily reachable and very responsive. I always got a response with in couple of hours in spite of time zone differences. He made sure that we were comfortable during our stay, gave us plenty of information and recommendation for activities around Arenal/La Fortuna. Overall, This ranch house is a gem! Wish we had stayed here longer. I would certainly like to come back to Arenal and stay in this ranch house some time in the future.GuruJanuary 2016
We were very welcomed by Jorge through email, he had the house attendant who lives next door welcome us, she was very nice and informative about the house. I felt pretty safe- the house is a gem- it's really beautiful---it was an experience itself. It is in a small town surrounded by wildlife- so alot of birds, crickets, bats mosquito flying around, there were also frogs (which i'm scared of) so that was kinda of creepy , the water pressure was good. And instead of staying in the center of la fortuna with the hippies- i would really recommend this house, it's a way better experienceGeriMay 2016

Great modern house with all the amenities we could ask for. Easy 2 minute walk to the Quepos-Manuel Antonio bus stop made it quick to get around without a car. We had a 10 minute bus ride (for 50 cents) down to the beach. The house is on a quiet street and we felt very safe with the big gates. Great balcony overlooking the canopy and the Pacific Ocean.HenningAugust 2015
The house is amazing, and I had a wonderful experience staying on the property. The apartment is located on the 2nd floor of a house on a private gated property. The views were stunning, and the pictures do not give the house justice. Even though you are staying with family, you have complete privacy. I came with 5 others (6 of us total, 3 couples) and we each had our own room. Any questions we had about the house regarding restocking toilet paper, garbage bags, etc. we were able to ask the people downstairs. Bathrooms, bedrooms, & living room were well furnished and kitchen stocked with all appliances and dishware you need. Having AC and a washer/dryer helped us do much. Only issue was the WiFi, which only worked in the corner of the living room, but we didn't plan on being on our devices anyway during the vacation. The terrace was good for bird watching and views. We spotted a toucan and a green parrot in the distance as well as other common birds. There is also a cat and two dogs that live on the property, they were friendly. The house is also conveniently located near the local bus so getting to Manuel Antonio & Quepos was easy. We didn't need a car. Pool was great with chairs, and there is a grill near it we were able to use. We felt like we had the amenities all to ourselves. I highly recommend renting the house, and would come back here anytime. The family is incredibly accommodating. Pura Vida!AnnaAugust 2014
This was a PERFECT place to stay. We were a group of six and all fit in comfortably. The house is clean and airy, with a large communal area and a big modern kitchen. But the absolute highlights were the stunning view from the balcony (eating breakfast on the balcony while taking in the views of the ocean and and green hills was priceless) and the outdoor barbecue area, a fun place to grill and hang out with friends. Everything went smoothly with Silvia upon arrival. 5 stars, I couldn't recommend this place enough!HannahSeptember 2014
The space is very beautiful and has incredible views of the ocean and surrounding nature. It was clean and as described. We did have a couple of issues, however. We spent quite a bit of time looking for the place, as it is not marked and there aren't signs for the road it is on. If we were given directions with identifying landmarks, that would have been helpful. We were notified about local construction prior to arrival, which was helpful. Initially we were disappointed when we arrived to find out that the pool was not available because it was being fixed. We sent a message to Anna and they were able to let us use the neighbor's pool. Another issue was that the neighbor's house was being worked on loudly the whole time, it would have been nice to be notified of this. The hike Anna recommended to the beach was one of our favorite parts of the trip, highly recommend. Overall we would recommend to stay here and we would come back. Oh and the restaurant next door was great. Get the red snapper grilled, it was an experience!TudorMay 2016
Beautiful clean house. Great location for people who want to be close, but have quiet nights. Kids loved the pool. Would stay again and recommend. Near Blue Monkey hotel (Mono Azul), which can be found on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)maps. Just uphill on the side street from there. Keep all food in refrigerator. Ants ruined a box of cereal which was to be breakfast.DavidFebruary 2016
We absolutely loved this experience. We traveled in a group of 6 and there was so much room for all of us with 3 bedrooms. The location of the house was absolutely beautiful with a great location just down from the bus stop where you can go cheap to Quepos or Manuel Antonio. The restaurant next door Anna's family owns and it is wonderful! Also ask Anna about the hike to the beach it is an incredible experience with a beautiful remote beach. Anna was so helpful with anything we needed, we would definitely return.MorganApril 2016
When we arrived the house was perfectly clean and as beautiful as on the pictures. The views from the balconies are lovely and the pool is very nice. We saw dozens of gorgeous birds fly right in front of us. One needs to know that the beds are very hard (I know this is a personal taste but it was hard for some of us to sleep). Maybe they are new? Finally, the appartment felt more like a hotel, as opposed to some other air bnb houses where you are in a person's house. The finishes are beautiful and it feels very luxurious. It is excellent for what it is!SophieJanuary 2016
Silvia's place is great! We were a group of 6 and stayed here for 4 days. We were very comfortable during our whole stay. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. The rooms are very comfortable and the whole house was SUPER CLEAN. The pool was very nice. The balcony was great with a very nice view to the forest and ocean. This place has all the amenities you need and more. The location is awesome. Very close to everything yet located away from the main road and thus providing a great feel of privacy and allowing for a very relaxing stay. We had a rented vehicle and found it very easy to get to all the attractions in the area. Manuel Antonio is very close to the house. You can easily get there in about 10 minutes by car. We did not meet Silvia personally but spoke with her briefly on the phone and got to interact with members of her family living downstairs. They were all very friendly, and very, very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio.PEPEMarch 2016

The place is absolutely perfect! If you're looking for a comfortable, private place in the Arenal area, you can't beat this home. The house looks brand new and was spotless. The whole house has AC, which was so welcomed after spending a week in Costa Rica. Everything you could possibly need, the home is equipped with: extra towels, blankets, pillows, cleaning supplies... We used the kitchen regularly to cook most of our meals, and it has it all. Would definitely stay here again!LaraFebruary 2016
Wow, super nice place! The pictures don't lie. The views are beautiful, the lake goes on forever, and the house is clean, modern, and spacious. It's a remote location, but with car access, you can get around to all of the great spots around Arenal. The neighbors were really friendly, and offered us use of their kayaks. If you hear dinosaurs roaring in the forest, fear not, they're actually howler monkeys. I watched them for a while from the road.AladdinNovember 2015
The house was beautiful, she left us fresh fruit juice and coffee. Lake view from one side of the porch and rolling hills from there other. The house smelled of fragrant wood from the beams (mahogany like smell) it was pleasing. We saw lots of Toucans from the porch and other tropical birds. There were some nice organic restaurants in town. Would not recommend without having your own transportation.AnnJanuary 2016
We wished we could have stayed longer. The house is very well equipped, spacious, supremely comfortable and the site is out-of-this-world. We loved spending time on the terrace, watching the sunsets, and bird watching. We saw parrots, aracaris and toucans from the veranda! There are also hummingbirds in the garden. It's a 10-15 min drive to Nuevo Arenal. The last few mins of the drive are on a gravel road but a 4x4 is not necessary. Cannot fault this place... Soledad is a gracious host.AdamMarch 2016
Soledad was a terrific hostess! She responded quickly to my inquiries and was very responsive to questions. She met us in a near by town and help guide us to the location to ensure we did not get lost. The pictures of the property are very accurate. The views of lake Arenal are breath taking and beautiful. If you walk 500 meters down the hill you will be at Lake Arenal. The infinity pool is beautiful overlooking the scenic lake. You need to take the short cut to the pool...down the stairs at the neighbours lawn, and up the road a short way and then up the hill a 100 meters . You can also drive to the gate house and be directed. The kitchen was fully equipped and we prepared all our own meals. You are 15 minutes to the nearest grocery store and about 1 hour drive to La Fortuna where there are plenty of fun activities such as hiking, zip lining and mountain biking. We would certainly stay again and recommend the house to others.LauraMarch 2016
Thank you so much Soledad for this very warm welcome at the villa Colibri ! Our stay in Nuevo Arenal was extraordinary ! Well-placed to visit the area ! As La Fortuna , Monteverde and Tenorio Volcano ! The view on the balcony is sublime! Beautiful little paradise! Muchas Gracias ! :)MartineApril 2016
Soledad, Helen and Luc were all very accommodating throughout our stay. Communication with the hosts was smooth and they were quick to respond. The home was clean and just what we were hoping for. Perched on top of a hill overlooking Lake Arenal - the views and sunsets were gorgeous. When we arrived we had some issues with the wi-fi and they were able to come out the next day to repair it. We really appreciated that! Meeting with Soledad and Helen to get the key and find the house for the first time was easy. If you stay in this area, any activities that you book in the La Fortuna area will be about an hour or so drive south. Thank you for the great stay - we'd definitely stay again if we're in the area next time we visit Costa Rica.BrenFebruary 2016

The listing was very accurate and the condo is even better than the pictures give it credit for. We were able to speak to Gail before our trip and she was very helpful telling us about the area, things to do, and put us in touch with a local tour guide. The 4 of us had a great time staying in their very comfortable residence and would recommend it to anyone. A rental car is not necessary, but highly recommended due to its central location in the chain of fun beach towns.BrianMay 2016
