We were extremely disappointed by this property mainly due to being misled about the location. The owner messaged me three different times with the wrong address/pin location. He led us to believe the property was in town (Fortuna) when it is actually about 15-20 minutes away. When confronted he continued to say “I don’t know. This hasn’t happened before”. He’s the one that sent me the pins not once but three times. Even on VRBO the location is absolutely incorrect. His answer to that “I don’t know….hardly anyone uses VRBO. We were debating between two properties and picked this one based on the false location provided. Also there are several stray dogs that camp out T the door waiting to be fed. Hot water runs out after about two showers.

Three great nights
We checked in without any issue. There were cows in the pasture outside behind the house. In the morning, the caretaker spotted a sloth and showed us and the other neighbors! On the second morning he helped us find it again!! The house was very soothing and calming. The bedrooms each had a bathroom and an exterior entrance. The living room is separate from the bedroom spaces. It reminded me of the design of a Roman villa. We had a magnificent time and would definitely stay again!

Great house for an extended family
We were a family group of four households. This house was ideal as each family unit had separate sleeping accommodations with ensuites….with a common living/kitchen area. Ideal situation for driving to see/use hot springs, local adventures, etc. We saw Sloths and Tuscans on the property. Arnaldo was very attentive and responded to and questions or concerns we had. Great Place!

La Fortuna 3 couples
The property exceeded all expectations! Large lot and complete privacy surrounded by forest. Were able to see a howler monkey, toucans, hummingbirds birds and even a sloth which the gardener went out of his way to show us. Loved the 4 separate bedroom suites - beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms spacious! Arnaldo, the host, absolutely went above and beyond - he arranged local transportation and even drove us to town himself so that we were on time for an early morning tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and give the property our highest recommendation!

Very lovely home
Home is wonderful and perfect for a group needing 4 bedroooms and bathrooms. Pool area and outdoor space is idyllic. Hosts were accommodating easy to comminicate with. We saw sloths and Toucans in our yard! The only downside for us was that it is further from town than I originally thought. You will definitely need transportation.

Beautiful home
We were 3 couples travelling together. This home was just perfect . Outside area was amazing with pool and hot tub and each bedroom had large beds with their own bathroom. The property was beautiful and even had a sloth in the trees!! The house was even more beautiful than the pictures 😀.

AMAZING PROPERTY!
We booked this house for 3 couples and a single person. The layout was perfect! The common area with kitchen, dining and TV room was large and had everything we needed. The bedrooms each have their own washrooms and access, which was perfect PLUS the pool, hot tub, loungers and hammocks were amazing! We spent most of our time at the large outside dining area. There is a BBQ, sink, washroom and outdoor shower. The yard is beautiful, amazong landscaping - there is a sloth that lives on the property, we saw toucans and several geckos. We had a cute little visitor every evening (we named him scrappy) he was a little neighborhood dog who joined us every evening - he is beyond adorable! The location was about 10-15 minutes from La Fortuna, with a little grocery store a couple minutes drive away. We all loved it and would absolutely stay there again and absolutely recommend it to anyone. Also- I must say the check in was very easy, our host was very helpful and patient with me when I was having trouble with my phone working properly. Thank you!
