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.

Great place on the edge of town!

The house was great, we managed to fit 13 people without much issue! Location was great, only a minute from downtown La Fortuna. The outdoor space was amazing, our kids basically lived at the pool and we enjoyed cooking on the open grill under the covered portico. The house was super clean, we would definitely recommend staying here if you need a large house close to town.

Amazing

Absolutely perfect place for a large family of 11! Giselle cooked breakfast for us the first day. The home is close enough to walk to a grocery store, some restaurants and a great swimming hole! We enjoyed the pool, the hammocks and watching the sloths and macaws in nearby trees. We felt safe the entire time. I would highly recommend this place!

This was perfect for our family of nine. It very close to the water hole that everyone likes to swim in. It was walking distance to a couple restaurants. The kitchen had plenty of supplies and room for everyone. The host was on site and was very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend it.
