We had a fantastic stay at Casa Ceiba in El Castillo. The view of Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal is absolutely incredible—easily the highlight of the property. We spent so much time enjoying the outdoor space, especially the pool and hot tub, which were perfect after long days of exploring.The house itself was very comfortable and well maintained. The A/C worked great (which we definitely appreciated), and everything was clean and easy to use. The location felt private and peaceful, but still close enough to La Fortuna for activities.Overall, this was a perfect home base for our trip. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

It was a great fit for our family. Beautiful view and we were able to see Toucans. Walking distance to a cute little restaurant. Neighbors were very friendly and helpful. Host was super helpful with suggestions of where to get groceries, food and with excursions. My only suggestion is to make sure you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

The house was simply amazing and our host was helpful, communicative and went above and beyond to ensure a good stay. The photos do not do justice to the inside of the home and it's cleanliness. The location is remote enough that you feel like a local and can get out of the crowds and hustle or La Fortuna, but close enough to get to activities in a timely manner. The home was well stocked with clean towels and bedding and the rooms and amenities were just as described, yet better!I cannot recommend this property enough. We were only a family of three but could easily have invited several friends. Perfect for large families!

It was a great house that met all our needs. The view and pool met the luxury category. The inside of the house and layout was great. And for the price it seemed they could have offered a hair dryer and hand towels and wash cloths. The beds and linens were far from luxury and your run of the mill finds. It also could benefit from a deep clean, although again, it meets your typical VRBO rental but for luxury I think I had higher expectations. Beds were hard and one of the families we traveled with said they would have preferred to sleep in one of the hammocks. The listing said there was laundry we never needed it but of course we looked for it and could not find. The neighbors were nice and checked on us a few times. The jungle love “restaurant” near by was a gem and we lucked out bc she only takes reservations. It’s a one women show and she cooks for groups and families. The road was pretty bad but we weren’t too put off by that since that’s kind of typical for Costa Rica. The check out instructions said to take out the trash but we could not find where to leave it. The neighbor was gone and the host not responsive. The lockbox also looked like it could use some maintenance. Would I stay again? If there was nothing else that met the requirements for three beds a pool and secure area- sure!

Beautiful home with gorgeous views

Beautiful views of the lake and surrounding area. The property was well maintained and very safe. It had a well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels for showers and poolside. Plenty of room for gathering inside and out. The pool and hot tub was a welcomed addition. Private balconies for each bedroom. It was absolutely amazing!

Beautiful location over seeing the landscape, volcano and lake. We enjoyed everyday of our stay. Great location, enjoy the pool everyday. The rooms were very nice and had ac, fortunately we didn’t need to really use them. Sliding doors made it nice to open and get natural air to come in and flow throughout the house. Great hot water and pressure. Loved this place…

Great property and location

My wife and I stayed here with my parents and my brother and the space was perfect for us. The pool and hot tub were great and the view was absolutely breathtaking. The road up the hill to the property can seem a little intimidating at first but it's really not bad at all. The location is nice and secluded and close enough to La Fortuna without being too far. Overall we loved our stay here

About the host

Hosted by Jim Florance

Host profile image
From left to right: Jim, Wes, Josie, Robin. Our family first visited Costa Rica in 2010 and fell in love with the Arenal area. Two years later, we spent our first week in the new house. Jim and Robin are retired and split our time between our US residence and Costa Rica.

Why they chose this property

You'll hear many stories about people that visit Costa Rica and experience an epiphany or an awakening. That's what happened to us. We began searching for land in Aug 2010 and found the Old Ceiba Tree lot and we completed construction in the Fall of 2012. There is an energy that one can feel when you are there; it's indescribable but undeniable. Once you experience it, you'll be going back over and over.

What makes this property unique

We designed the home to bring the outdoors and indoors together. There are floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that open to lake and volacano views. The cool mountain breezes flow thoughout the home. The temperatures average about 75°F year round so no air conditioning is necessary (but optionally available in the bedrooms). We get our pure crystal clear soft water from a mountain spring ('naciente') that is about 6km in the virgin cloud forest. At night the temperatures typically drop about 10° and in December and January you might even need to put a fleece on to stay warm. Being on the edge of the rain forest, we get a lot of rain but if you wait an hour the weather will change and when the sun pops out be careful because you can get a sunburn even when the sky is overcast (ask Josie). Each room has a terrace facing the lake/volcano side of the house. Be prepared to rise early to the sounds of howler monkeys that frequently spend the night in our guarumo tree (a favorite hangout for all kinds of monkeys and birds) or the cacaphony of loras (red-lored parrots) that reside in the area.
