Beautiful home with a great location and outdoor space. Loved having coffee in the morning on the covered deck overlooking the pool. Lots of birds. Close to La Fortuna town center and El Salto rope swing. My family had a great vacation. The host was phenomenal. Would highly recommend.

Our stay in La Fortuna was wonderful and this property had an amazing location! The house is as shown. It’s not newer but it was clean! The pool and outdoor area was amazing! We were able to walk into town as well as to the rope swing (10 mins) and zip lining (15 mins). Overall, a great experience!

We stayed here with our family of 13 adults and one child. It was perfect!! There was plenty of space, a/c, kitchen, laundry, a pool, and a large kitchen table we could all fit at for meals. The host offered us a menu for an authentic dinner cooked in, which we decided to do on our last night there. It was well worth the cost! It was the best meal we had the entire trip! The hosts were friendly, kind and the house was amazing. If we ever get to Costa Rica, we will definitely be staying here again!

Great family house

We had a wonderful stay. Our group of 9 people had 4 kids aged 4-7 and the pool area was perfect for them! There are plenty of beds and seating area in the house to accommodate quite large groups.

This is a very beautiful property that nicely and comfortably accommodated our group of 8 adults. It's spacious, pool area is great, 13 minute walk to town and shorter for a couple close restaurants. We felt very safe! Giselle is a lovely host and we accepted the option for an on-site meal for a couple of our lunches.
