Great Spot to Stay While You Explore

Magnolia House was a great location to have as a home base while exploring Costa Rica and the Arenal region. Great hosts that are responsive and happy to provide additional insight into the area.

Fantastic!

We had a fantastic stay at the Magnalia Home! Modern home, great decor and a beautiful view of Arenal volcano. We loved the outdoor living space, the gardens and the pool. The host was so helpful and responsive. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay near La Fortuna

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place felt safe, private, and was a short drive from La Fortuna and the Arenal area. The pool area was a really nice retreat to relax between activities and was so peaceful for listening to the rain.

Clean and comfortable home

We loved staying in Nela’s home in La Fortuna. The house was very clean, the location of the home was very convenient to everything in La Fortuna. Communication was easy with Nela, and she had great restaurant recommendations. The beds were comfy and we loved spending time outside in the courtyard and taking dips in the little pool to cool down in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Fortuna Vacation

Central to Fortuna; we had a car which was very helpful. House is very private behind a big privacy fence. Host was very receptive and kind. We enjoyed the small pool daily-wonderfully refreshing-our group was Four adults..room for 6 adults (two kings and one queen)- three full baths, common room and fully equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, safe, all items needed for kitchen. Lots of light. No washer on site but laundry nearby. Would definitively stay again.

First CR west coast tour

Beautiful home with a great layout for 6 adults. Love that everyone has their own bathroom and one bedroom/bath is separate. Everything was very clean. Nice location, We left yesterday and there is a lot of construction on a new home across the street so it gets loud, but that can’t be controlled and we didn’t mind. There are very few amenities. We were there 3 nights and 2 days and ran out of toilet paper/towels/paper towels and garbage bags. There’s no washer/dryer, blow dryer that we could find, coffee or sugar. Otherwise, the host Nela was amazingly responsive and kind and we would definitely stay in this charming little home again! Excellent location and view of Arenal. Thank you Nela!

The view is worth it

We had a rough start with communication and getting into the property when we arrived late. I was told I would get the check-in details at 2:45 pm. That did NOT happen. I drive for 4 hours and then had to wait and contact via What’sApp, which was never specified in earlier communication with the property manager/owner. Nela was able to communicate the information needed, and the rest of the stay went well. There’s no closets or drawers to unpack your stuff. There’s no air conditioning in the main house, only in the bedrooms, but sitting out on the patio was delightful as I watched the volcano view change throughout our weekend. Nela provided a lot of great recommendations for places to go , eat and see. Overland , I really enjoyed our time there.

Beauty and the beast!

I struggled with this review, because, with a little care and attention, this house could be more amazing. The location is awesome! You get great views of Arenal Volcano and there are many stores and restaurants within a few minutes drive. The layout of the house is also very cute and funtional. The small outdoor garden is beautiful and we saw lots of hummingbird enjoying the nectar from the all the beautiful flowers. The problems, however, were as follows: The house is very difficult to find if you arrive after dark and it gets dark around 5.30pm in Costa Rica. Finding the lock box was also challenging in the dark. When we called the host for direction/ instruction, he seemed bothered by us and made a point of making us aware that he was eating dinner. The toilets gurgle, and on on arrivals the toilet in the cabana room would not flush properly. The host blamed us for putting toilet paper in the toilet, even though we had only just arrived. The shower in the cabana room was also difficult to operate and it was near impossible to get hot water and good water pressure. Our friends had to shower in the main house. The faucet in the master bedroom wobbled around when being used. There was no kitchen towel or dish wash cloths. The oven did not work at all and was partially dislodged from the cabinetry. The pool had missing tile. Overall the house was not well maintained and the host not very gracious, in fact, somewhat abrasive.

Beautiful little place on the outskirts of town

The property was gorgeous and well maintained. Rooms were nice and the air-condition works well. The location is too far to walk to most places in town, but plenty of room to park a rental car. Or if you prefer, Uber is quick, easy, and cheap. We had no issues getting an Uber within a few minutes in town. We also hired the private chef that works with the owner for one night. Absolutely amazing experience! You cannot stay here without trying it! Charlie and Annette were very professional, polite, and provided a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Live like a local

My family and I had a great stay at Magnalia House. The house and detached pool cabana were spotless, comfortable and well appointed. Highlight is definitely the soaking pool in backyard. The area around the pool was comfortable, and beautifully landscaped, giving a feeling of complete privacy even though you are in a neighborhood. Also, the awnings allow for plenty of sun but also allow you to enjoy outside even when it’s pouring rain. And the view of Arenal from the pool is stunning. A couple of practical realities, you are staying in an actual neighborhood in CR. There’s some realities you deal with: occasional road noise, the neighbor’s dogs barking late at night. Also, the process of getting in and out of the property is a bit involved and trying to negotiate after dark makes it more challenging. But the owners were responsive and went out of their way to fix any issues that came up. Also, you get to live like a local in a safe neighborhood and still be close to town. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful home in LaFortuna

We really enjoyed our stay at the Magnalia house. The home was very clean, comfortable, and full of light and the kitchen was well appointed for all of our cooking needs. Nela was very responsive and easy to work with and the location felt safe and was just a short drive from downtown La Fortuna. Our only complaint was that there were absolutely no drawers in any of the bedrooms - just a handful of hangers for clothes. If you're someone like me who hates to live out of suitcase, this is a bit annoying. There were some barking dogs at night in the neighborhood too which kept one of us awake, but most of us slept through it just fine.All in all a great place.

Private Oasis

The property was as pictured and expected. Everything was very clean upon checkin. Nela also did a good job communicating and supporting a fantastic stay. The beds were comfortable and the tile work in the bathrooms was beautiful. The room air conditioners did the job of keeping us comfortable while sleeping. Fortuna was a very short drive from the house. We had a bit of a challenge finding the house but Nela quickly sent a picture which cleared it up quickly. We had a great view of Arenal volcano from the pool area. Nela also offered some suggestions of activities. We enjoyed spending a day at the hot springs at Baldi Resort at her recommendation.

Perfect retreat for couples!

Super cute, cozy, and great location! This place is even better in person. We were a group of three couples traveling together. All had our own bedroom and bathroom, each with a shower. Beds were comfortable and AC worked great in the rooms. We loved the pool, the outdoor seating with big patio table
