Great house, great location! It’s in a gated area, and the hosts are super nice and responsive. The view of the volcano from the back area is amazing. House was clean and had everything you needed! Breakfast with Giuselle was awesome, fun experience to go her house and have a nice meal. Arenal Mundo park and El Salto rope swing were within walking distance. Both were great! Can’t say enough good things about our stay, thank you!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. There were a lot of ants if anything got left out and a very strong smell of mothballs??? But I think that was to help with the ant problem. The property was in a great location; and the views of the volcano were spectacular. The property management went above and beyond for us.

The home was close to many restaurants and has an amazing view of Arenal. Overall location is 10/10. The home was clean and very peaceful. It was perfect for our stay of a couple nights with kids because it also had space for them to run around.

This home was lovely. Beautiful view of the volcano from the outdoor pool area, comfy lounge areas with hammocks that we definitely took advantage of. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean and kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Location was really convenient including a really good restaurant that was three minute walking distance Also next door they have Shetland ponies that had just had a colt that was the probably the cutest thing we’ve ever seen, and became a pit stop every time we arrived and left. :)
