Bedrooms were comfortable. Lots of places to sit and relax inside and out including the balconies off each bedroom. Tastefully decorated throughout the house. Very clean. We loved this house and our time there!
Excellent recommendations! Especially loved the Red Frog Coffee Roasters!

We enjoyed staying at this property , nice proximity to the town. The house suited our needs with three bedrooms. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The pool was very pleasant and it was nice to have when we weren’t exploring. The air conditioner in the master bedroom was a little loud for us. The kids didn’t have an issue with their air conditioners.

Perfect for a family vacay in La Fortuna

Casa Turquesa was a wonderful place for our family to stay for our vacation in the La Fortuna area. We felt safe in the gated property. The pool was perfect for the kids. The decor was elegant and charming at the same time. And you can’t beat the location! It’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city bit just a quick 5-minute drive into town. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Carolina Rico

Host profile image
Our names are Luis and Carolina, we have been together for 20 years, and have 4 kids. We reside in California and run a construction business. Our dream is to retire in La Fortuna in the near future so we bought this house, and made it a home to be loved and enjoyed by vacationers in the meanwhile. It has been quite an experience, we expected to make only some cosmetic changes, but things changed along the way. We ended up fully demolishing and reconstructing the second floor, fully remodeling the first floor while adding square footage, and a carport, and a resort style pool. We have had fun planning and decorating the house to make it warm, welcoming, and unique. We hope you enjoy your stay and make tons of memories.

Why they chose this property

Because of it's location and privacy. It is close to everything but away from everyone. It is only a 5 minute drive to the magical La Fortuna town.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, and accessibility by any type car to the main road that connects to downtown, San Jose and main cities.
