Serenity Home. Amazing house with Gorgeous panoramic views and Swimming pool.
The Serenity House was built on 2 acres in the heart of the Rainforest, very privately situated far from the noise of the city but close to some of the best attractions and restaurants El Castillo has to offer. The gorgeous infinity edge swimming pool is filled with fresh spring water, and is perfect to refresh while you listen to the Howlers Monkeys, watch the Toucans, Hummingbirds and 20 other species of birds that surround the house. At Serenity create memories that you will treasure forever.
*Please note, what in the photos looks like a Jacuzzi is not actually a heated, is a water feature that overflows into the swimming pool creating a cascade effect. However, the whole pool is in a system that recirculates the water through solar panels installed in the roof of the house to warm up the water a bit.
The house is big and spacious with beautiful decors from local artists and unique indigenous statues located around the property. The combination of really high ceilings and the location on the edge of a hill with constant breeze makes for no need of Air Conditioning in the house. Plus all of the rooms have ceiling fans and the sliding doors & windows are equipped with screens so you can perfectly leave them open to let the breeze in without worrying about the insects coming in the house. All 3 bedrooms have private bathrooms to give your group the privacy they want. In our fully equipped kitchen, you can delight your family with a energizing breakfast to begin the day or with a delicious dinner to close a memorable day of exploring the rain forest. After dinner sit around and share memories in our comfortable living room with all reclinable leather couches and sofas.
- THINGS TO DO: There are lots of tours to keep you entertained for days, Volcano hikes, Zip Lines, Hanging Bridges, ATV tours, Kayak and Paddle-board tours, Rainforest and Waterfall hikes, Horseback riding, Hot Springs, Wildlife watching tours and more. All of these are less than half an hour away from the house. Our concierge is always available at our new and modern Welcome Center to help you book tours, find the best restaurants, book a massage and get the most out of your time in the area.
-LOCATION: El Castillo is approx. 3 hours (150km) from both international airports, either in the capital of San Jose, or on the northern pacific coast in Liberia. La Fortuna, which is a small city that offers amenities such as grocery, banking, post office, restaurants, hot springs, excursions and much more, is only 30 minutes away.
- GETTING AROUND: You will want a 4WD vehicle. The last drive up to the house is a road made of gravel and rocks. When it rains there are potholes. You will be a lot happier with a 4WD here and in most areas of Costa Rica. While there are a couple of things to see and one restaurant within walking distance of the house, there are many activities that require a 10 to 45 minute drive. You will not be happy waiting for a cab to arrive either coming of going.

Excellent service, the view of Arenal was unreal. We loved sitting outside watching the hummingbirds. The hosts were so helpful, our daughter got sick the first night and in the morning they sent the cleaners in. We really appreciate everything, what a great relaxing place!
Incredible house with the most stunning views! We loved our time here. We ignored their suggestion to get a 4x4 which was unwise - if it’s rainy, you definitely want to get a 4x4 for the road up!
This was a great spot for viewing the volcano, hiking La Fortuna Falls and going to Sky Adventures. The local restaurants made delicious food and everyone was kind, friendly and helpful!
Perfect for our group. The view was spectacular and rooms were great. Could use a little more light in the kitchen area would be my only suggestion. Great hosts and had massages up at the house. Unforgettable experience.
Incredible setting and a very nice place. The view of Lake Arenal and volcano are truly wonderful especially since they are constantly accented by hummingbirds, toucan's, tanagers and countless other colorful critters. It was nice having restaurants and shops close by.attractions is wonder
We had a wonderful time and loved the views and the house/accommodations. The staff from check in to housekeeping was outstanding. We just wish the pool was warmer.
We didn’t want to leave the property; it was beautiful! El Castillo is a little far from the main tourist attractions in the area (La Fortuna waterfall etc), but staying at this location was well worth it! We loved having this location for our morning and evenings after a jam packed day of activities.
My wife and two adult children stayed here for a week. Everything was as advertised, especially the need of a four wheel drive getting to the place. A lot of room in the house and beautiful views. The large porch was very relaxing for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Would definitely stay again.
The property was absolutely amazing. The landscaping and flora was spectacular. The pool was perfect for the boys. Last but not least the view was unreal! My wife and I needed a break from reality and this place provided that. The locals in El Castillo were all so helpful and such a beautiful people. If we ever get back to Costa Rica we will definitely be visiting Serenity again. Plenty of space, beautiful home, and amenities for cooking.
The house and pool were great but that view, you just can’t beat! Everything was there that we needed. Just wish the road was a little easier to get up to the house but otherwise all good. Check in process was good and Ericka and Agustin took great care of us.
This was our first visit to Costa Rica. The home and views were as good if not better than described. The bird life and comforts of this home all made for beautiful memories. Hope to visit Costa Rica again and would hope to enjoy it from this home again.
This property is wonderful. Just the other side of the mountain from la Fortuna and a long drive up a mountain but well worth it. There are lots of things to do and places to eat right near the property and the wildlife you can see out your door is incredible.
Absolutely the best view I've ever had at any of the VRBO's we have stayed in. Make sure you rent a 4x4 to make it to the house but once their it is amazing. It was an easy check in and out. The house is clean and simple but has everything you need.
Serenity house did not disappoint! The views are outstanding and we spent hours on the back porch watching all the birds. Bring binoculars! Augustine was very helpful and always responded quickly to any questions we had. We loved every minute there and we were sad to go. Thank you Serenity and Costa Rica!
As indicated by the photos & description everything matched. We had an exceptional experience staying here from the first breath taking view of Volcan de Arenal upon waking to dipping our toes in the pool during a hot afternoon. As recommended having a 4x4 to get up the steep gravel road is more comfortable. Be mindful of the black entry gate as it is slow to open & close.
