Great layout for up to 3 couples! Excellent location just a quick drive from downtown La Fortuna or from the Arenal Volcano. Property was in a safe and relatively quiet neighborhood with the only exception being a dog nearby that was often barking. Would definitely recommend to a family or a group of friends looking for a getaway in La Fortuna!

Very quaint and private house. Spent the mornings drinking coffee and looking at the beautiful volcano. Easy communication with host for anything we needed. We even broke one of the keys and she was so helpful with the issue we caused. Sorry again. Would definitely stay here again.

Our family of six had an amazing time in La Fortuna and the Magnolia house was absolutely wonderful as well! Our host, Leonela, was AMAZING!! I cannot say enough about how well she communicated everything and how gracious and helpful she was. Due to a late flight, we did not get in until close to 1 AM and she went out and got groceries for us and put them in the home so we would have something to eat and drink in the morning. She went above and beyond any of our expectations. The house was perfect for our needs. My adult son and his girlfriend loved the Cabina right off the pool as they had their own private bedroom and bathroom. My husband and myself and my adult daughter and her boyfriend had the main house. The beds were absolutely wonderful and comfortable and we had everything we needed. I cannot recommend this home enough. It was in a nice neighborhood and a short mile walk to the downtown area with a lot of restaurants and shops. We also used Uber occasionally which only cost us 4 or 5 US dollars to get to where we needed in the La Fortuna downtown area. We loved our stay!!

We arrived and checked in and were told 1. Washing machine out of service, 2. Cabina bathroom was tricky but worked. Once we inspected the home, we discovered that the cabana bathroom in fact did not work during our stay.Additionally, there were plumbing issues, which the owner did their best to fix, but were not resolved. This included construction workers at the home during our stay for multiple hours. We also noticed there were several bugs in the home, but that might be a result of the location (bugs included cockroaches). Hosts were nice and tried their best - with quick responses. Kitchen equipment (oven did not get hot enough) also needs to be improved significantly.

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.

The main house was wonderful - safe, private, away from the noise of downtown, terrific views, comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms. Clean, good plumbing, hot water, good stovetop, refreshing pool, beautiful greenery. Our friends stayed in the main house and had a great experience. The host was helpful with directions, local activities, restaurant and supermarket recommendations. It is easier to find during the day; a bit more challenging at night but we did it with help from the host. The cabina, however, is not good. There is no hot water to the sink or shower. They have a showerhead hot water heater, but we could not get it to work. We had to shower in the main house. There is no door on the bathroom, so if you want any privacy, the other person has to leave the room (doable during the day; more problematic at night - and turning on the light will wake the other sleeping person). And unless the shades are drawn, people at the pool and even in the main house can see into the bathroom. Outside - the cushions on the recliners are moldy and the ones on the table are beyond worn. The pool is lovely!Bottom line is - if you only plan to use the main house, this is a great place. But if you have people in your group who are hoping to use the cabina as a living space - make sure you know what you're signing up for.
Great views!
Beautiful greenery.
Moldy outdoor furniture.

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

Nice House

House was as described. A bit open to the elements, but overall clean. Guests do not have access to the laundry room, which was a bummer for us. Host was available. We had a few issues, such as a power outage, which was expected with the large storms we received. However when I asked how long outages typically last I was told that Costa Rica was “a 3rd World Country” and I should expect such events.

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.
