The place was perfect for our family of 6! The home was clean and comfortable! My husband & I slept in the cabana while our 4 kids (ages 16,14,11 & 10) took the house. None of our kids were concerned about us not being in the house while we all slept and we all felt very safe! The location is perfect! We were busy all day so our kids mostly swam at night (which it gets dark early so it wasn’t really late). The host was very quick & patient with answering our questions!

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!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The host was very communicative and even offered local suggestions for food/activities, which was appreciated. However, we booked a house rather than a hotel based on the ability to have a kitchen/make meals at home and sadly this was not possible. We entered at night to a house with all the windows open and bugs inside the house. Given that we were in the jungle, we anticipated some bugs, but the house had toms of mosquitos and moths (likely from windows being open) and a significant number of small ants crawling all over the kitchen counter. We spent time cleaning the house but the ants continued to appear each AM/PM and ended up on our fresh food we had picked up at the local market - causing us to trash our food. Big waste of money. That paired with a lack of cooking utensils made having a kitchen a moot point. The place is cute and if you can deal with the potential of having lots of bugs in the house then it may be work out for you. It just wasn't how I wanted to spend my money.

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.
