Perfect House

We loved our stay at this property. The view of Arenal was really cool and it was a short walk to El Salto for the rope swing which our kids loved. Overall it was a great place and we would stay here again.

A cheat sheet with instructions was very helpful. Repaired issue with hot water promptly. Needed an extension cord and it was delivered the same day. No metal grilling spatula, no light for the outside laundry area, no cookie sheet, no serving plates, pool paint is peeling, inside and outside couches are uncomfortable, would have been nice to have s pool skimmer net, not enough shampoo/body wash and conditioner for all 3 bathrooms.

Pros-Location is good and the outside and inside appearance of the house is good. Cons-There are some maintenance issues that need to be addressed. We had an issue with an ant colony in the house that we had to take care of (purchase ant spray and ant traps). The kitchen drain needs attention as it drains into the cabinet. The warm water is very intermittent in the showers.

Unfortunately, your message does not clearly explain what happened. It mainly focuses on requesting a refund and implying that, if it is not granted, you would leave a negative review. We do have the email records. Regarding the ants, we are located in the rainforest, where it is naturally challenging to keep all insects completely outside. That said, if you review our previous guest feedback, you will see that insect-related issues are not a recurring concern. We also provide insect spray in the house, which you used, and the following day we promptly sent our cleaning staff, who inspected the property and resolved the situation. We believe it is important to note that we did respond quickly and addressed the issue reported. Any additional concerns were not communicated to us during your stay, which limited our ability to assist further at the time.

First time to Costa Rica and would HIGHLY recommend!

The property was clean, well kept and has beautiful views. It’s more impressive than the pictures. They were extremely helpful with planning activities and transportation. And were very forthcoming with information prior to and throughout our stay! We are very appreciative to everyone that we met and helped make our trip so amazing!

Relaxing Getaway in a Great Location

This rental is so clean and up-to-date in a great location just close enough to everything but far away to make you feel relaxed. Has everything you need. **Only issue is the water is not always consistent.**

Our large family had a great stay at this property! The grounds were beautiful and the view of the volcano when it wasn't covered with clouds was beautiful. The kids had a great time at the rope swing which was only a 5 minute walk from our place! The concierge service was very helpful with planning activities and getting us places. We would definitely come back!

Perfect La Fortuna Spot

Our party of 7, including 5 adults and 1 kid and one baby all loved staying here. It was centrally located to the town and all of the activities we had planned. The indoor/outdoor setup is great for a large group. The kitchen has plenty of appliances and also a grill outside. We also took advantage of some of the tour coordination through the owners, who were helpful along the planning process.

Possibly the best VRBI we have ever stayed at!

If you are looking to stay in La Fortuna then Home Vacations is who you want to book with. From the time of booking up to arrival at the property the team was outstanding. Upon arrival Carlos metvus and even guided us to the property. We then booked all of our excursions with the same company and saved a ton. We are already looking to come back next year and do some different adventures!

The host was welcoming and very responsive to our questions throughout our stay. We found our property to be comfortable, spacious and well-located within walking distance to the swing into the river.The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking, plates, and utensils. We could have used more kitchen towels to wipe the dishes since there is no dishwasher.We also found that the laundry washer and dryer took a very long time to wash and dry clothes - often several hours with frequent monitoring. There were also some critters that entered the home - ants and cockroaches. Perhaps that is due to the rains. Otherwise, we enjoyed the rooms with separate bathrooms and ability to cook our own meals.

Clean property with incredible views of Arenal!

The home was clean, spacious enough for two families (we really utilized the outdoor area for eating/hanging out), and had the most amazing views of Arenal! We could not get the hot water to work in all the bathrooms, even with the host coming out to check on it. The kitchen has very limited food storage. But the a/cs work wonderfully and we had a great time there for the couple of nights we stayed.

Okay stay

Place was large enough for our group (4 adults; 3 kids) and the outdoor seating area was nice. Kitchen had all appliances and items needed for cooking, but there were cockroaches in the kitchen cupboards and the bathrooms. There were trails of small ants in the kitchen, too, but we experienced that in other places in Costa Rica (just not the cockroaches). We did have hot water in the showers, although it was very intermittent, not reliable and sometimes took a long time to get there. The couch inside was very uncomfortable regardless of how short or tall you are. Beds were comfortable enough with an assortment of pillows to choose from.

Water

Prior to arriving, I read recent reviews by previous guests and was reassured by management their the lack of HOT water was rectified ( “ just a fuse”). Not the case. Our showers were cold most of the time, or if they started with hot water, within 2 minutes they turned cold. I understand electricity in Costa Rica is much more expensive,than U.S. but that is unacceptable.

Beautiful home in La Fortuna

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home in La Fortuna. I will lay out the pros and cons below, but the pros definitely outweighed the cons and did not detract from the 5 star feeling of this property. Pros - Beautiful spacious home! - Very comfortable beds - and a lot of them if you need - Great outdoors space with great seating, pool, and terrific view of volcano - Great location - Secure and ample parking - Easy check-out Cons - Check in process required going to an alternate site to assist with check-in instead of allowing self check-in The last thing you want to do after a long drive is wait in an office for someone to help you get into your place. - There is one large window in the middle of the house that is just a screen to the outside. We heard music and conversations from the next door neighbors like they were in your house. - Limited hot water, but that seems to be the norm in Costa Rica

Thanks for your review! All of our properties requires to Check In in our office, it is located 2 miles away from the house in downtown La Fortuna; once we meet our guests we guide them and show them the house personally so they do not get lost like other properties in the area and get better costumer service.

Villa Margarita - La Fortuna

The house is well laid out and well suited for 4 couples. Beds comfortable. Rest of furniture adequate. Only the bedrooms had A/C and that was adequate to cool the whole house. The kitchen appliances worked properly. On the negative side: One of the rooms never had hot water. The rest worked sporadically. Perhaps the instant on water heater is inadequate. The owner’s rep was unable to get one of the A/C units to adjust the temperature. The fan remotes in the common areas did not function. The rep could not get them to work. Doubling the number of towels would be a nice touch. Overall: The house is very nice, well located, and worked well for us. Some attention to details on the part of the owners would change this property to excellent.
