Pura Vida Villa

We really enjoyed the house and location, and had a fantastic week of high adventure and sightseeing. The Home Vacation folks were quick to answer questions and provide useful information. They also arranged all our activities with terrific tours and guides. There’s something for everybody in La Fortuna. Pura Vida!

Nice property with beautiful views

We spent a few days at this property, there were 9 of us. The kids loved the pool but we did discover after my daughter’s suit got ruined that there was a lot of scum in the pool, we asked for it to be cleaned but it only got stirred up. We did continue to use it but pretty disappointed a brand new suit is garbage from the pool. The rest of the house was good, met our needs. There is a grill but no charcoal is provided, we were able to get it at the store. There’s air conditioning in the bedrooms that worked great but the living area did get quite warm (normal in Costa Rica). The views of the volcano are absolutely spectacular and although in a little community the house feels very quiet and secluded! We also felt it was safe and secure!

Great house, awesome location

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was very convenient and just a few minutes from several of the activities we did. Beautiful volcano view from the pool. The only issue we had at the house was septic smell coming from outdoor 4th bedroom. We notified the property manager and Pablo nicely brought over an air freshener but said they need to dig up the toilet or it’s possibly the shower drain, a 2 day process, to try to fix the issue. The bad smell continued to be pretty strong, even with the air fresheners. Hope that can be fixed soon for other guests. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay!! Thank you!

Amazing Stay!

We stayed at this property in February and it is just as pictured. Plenty of room for our family of five (kids ages 4-13) and very clean and spacious. Location very convenient to all La Fortuna has to offer and the view of the volcano on a clear day is gorgeous! But the absolute best part was how well Eder and Allen took care of us. Due to flight delays we arrived very late and Eder stayed in contact with us, waited and helped direct us to the property. He really went above and beyond for us. Every day they helped arrange tours and activities for our whole family and their restaurant recommendations were spot on! Overall we had a wonderful stay!
