This private Villa offers a unique setting not found with other rentals in the Lake Arenal area.  Our property is part of a 30 acre private estate on Lake Arenal and includes a rain forest preserve that has a spring fed stream bordering our property, the lake, hiking trails in the jungle canopy and water features throughout the tropical gardens.

There are 7 distinct areas on the 1.5 acre Villa to enjoy: the home, Patio, Pool area, Meditation pond, Plunge pool picnic area, Forest bathing Isaiah Spring area and the rain forest stream hiking paths.

The house is a 2 story, 2 bedroom, 2 bath home that sleeps up to 7 guests. It has a view of the lake from balcony, patio and every room. The second story master suite has it’s own private entrance, kitchen and balcony. Relax and vacation at our rental home and enjoy sunsets, bird watching, swimming and the sounds and ambiance of nature.

Additional highlights:
The Villa is the perfect place for a secluded getaway where you and your family can use as a home base as you explore the northern part of Costa Rica with day trips and excursions to nearby sights and attractions. While at this rainforest retreat you will enjoy a spectacular setting with incredible views of Lake Arenal and the surrounding mountains during the day and the lights reflecting on the lake from Tronadora at night. The rain forest and tranquil lifestyle are ideal for any traveler in need of a digital reset and a little rest and relaxation from the technology that permeates modern life.

The sounds and images of this rainforest preserve are all part of the experience of staying at the Lake View Villa. Imagine waking up hearing the running water of the stream, the unique sound of the howler monkeys, and dozens of birds as they explore the trees surrounding the house. Bird watching in this temperate zone climate offers as many as 300 different species of birds in Costa Rica. We have seen keel billed toucans, tanagers, parrots, hummingbirds, red legged honeycreepers, hawks and a virtual potpourri of colorful feathered friends eating at the nearby bird perch.

Exploring the Area:
The town of Nuevo (New) Arenal is only about a 10-minute drive from the Villa and has changed little in the past 20 years. It remains a typical Costa Rican village with just enough grocery stores, bakeries, bars and restaurants to serve the community. A few minutes walk from the property is The Rana German Restaurant where you can feast on great food and see a collection of poison dart frogs. There are many great restaurants in Nuevo Arenal where you can enjoy the delicious pizza at Moyas, gourmet food at the Gingerbread, breakfast at Lucky Bug or typical Costa Rican food at Las Tinejas.

Less than an hour away is the town of La Fortuna situated at the base of the Arenal volcano There are multiple excursions and activities available such as Zip lining, river rafting, hot springs and ATV excursions.

After exploring, it is great to get back to the cooler comfort of the house so you can relax for the evening watching the sun set or a movie. There is a large collection of DVD’s for your enjoyment and a television and DVD player upstairs and downstairs and lots of games

Lake Arenal Property Managers are available to meet your needs or answer any questions. They can also schedule any activities for your convenience or Chef cooking experience at our Villa.

About the host

Our vacation rental home has been our paradise retreat for about 10 years. We been using Home Away VRBO since 2010 with hundreds of guest. We live in Florida and have family in Costa Rica as property managers across the road from the villa.

Why they chose this property

There are many day excursions and great outdoor adventure activities available in the nearby vicinity to be enjoyed if you decide to drag yourself away from the comfortable serene surrounding at the Lakeview Villa. It is one hour drive to La Fortuna which is a warmer tropical climate and a busy central tourist hub. Here you have the opportunity to visit the Arenal Volcano, climb Cerro Chato the dormant volcano, swim in the pool created by the spectacular La Fortuna waterfall, go rafting in the rivers, ride the zip lines or relax in the hot thermal volcanic springs of Tabacon or Baldi Springs. It’s nice to be close to the activities and yet be able to return to the Villa for an escape to the quiet and cooler private rainforest property as you rest and relax after your excursions.
Traveling west around the lake you can venture to Hotel Tiwala where you can rent equipment for wind surfing which is reputed as one of the best in the world. Further on you can also visit Tilaran and Viento Fresco Falls on the drive to Monteverde which is the most famous Rainforests in Costa Rica. During certain seasons the Quetzal bird can be spotted with its iridescent green and red color and hummingbirds are always abundant in the cloud forest. If you do go to Monteverde be sure to visit Selvatoura butterfly gardens and the zip line adventure which is one of the longest in Costa Rica. This Canopy Tour has 15 cables and 18 platforms and you definitely zip through the canopy. There are also many beaches about 1.5 hours from the house going toward Liberia where you can enjoy the warm waters and surf.

What makes this property unique

This is one of the few rental properties that has direct Lake Arenal access with just a few minutes walk to the lakeshore from the house. On occasion the howler monkey troop will choose the trees or canopy near the house to have breakfast or dinner. There can be up to 20 of various sizes as they circulate through the 40 acre estate.
Some days it is great just to relax and enjoy morning coffee on the veranda, spend hours in the rainforest following the extensive hiking trails and the flowing stream down to the lake, enjoying the waterfalls and swimming in the natural pools of spring water.
