Welcome to Casa BHappy, your beautiful and stately home away from home, nestled on 3/4 acres of lush land in Tronadora. This serene retreat is perfect for groups of up to 8 guests.

The main open-plan living space features high ceilings, creating a grand, airy atmosphere with spectacular views of Lake Arenal and the Arenal Volcano from expansive windows and patios. The home’s unique two-unit design is ideal for multi-generational families seeking both togetherness and privacy.

Bed Configuration:
Main House (Upper Level): Features a master suite with a King-size bed and a modern ensuite bathroom. A loft overlooking the main floor offers a cozy reclining sofa, a dedicated desk space for remote work, a Queen-size bed, and a pull-out Queen-size trundle.
Guest Suite (Lower Level): A separate walkout suite with its own entrance and driveway. This full guest apartment includes a King-size bed, a kitchenette, and an ensuite bathroom.

A vehicle is recommended should you decide to visit us. However, we have had guests who came without one, and we can recommend driving services to get you out and about as needed.

We are only 3 miles from the picturesque town of Tronadora, with the prettiest park in Guanacaste. Here, you can find everything you need, including a grocery store, butcher, bakery, liquor, two restaurants, and a bar for those looking for nightlife.

It is an easy 1.5-hour drive from Liberia Airport and 3 hours from San Jose. If you arrive in San Jose with less than 3 hours of daylight, we recommend staying near the airport and getting a fresh start in the morning. Most roads are paved but not well-marked, with many twists and turns.

We have plenty of parking areas.

Family trip

We all love owners , the house and neighborhood.It was very private and pretty.Taniya and Ken were very helpful. The house is well equipped The location is good but depends on what and where someone is planning activities . It is located 1.5 hours from LaFortuna so include the driving time into your planning.

About the host

Hosted by Tanyia & Rod Kingyens

Host profile image
Rod and I are passionate about traveling, serving others, and pickleball. We’ve been married 36 years and have 2 married sons, 2 beautiful daughter-in-loves, 2 grandsons, 2 granddaughters, and a grandson who has gained his angel wings. We believe in living joyfully in service to others. We love to hear about others' life adventures and the stories that have led them to Costa Rica, the most magical place on this side of heaven (that we know of).

Why they chose this property

Vistas Del Lago is so much than a gated neighborhood. Our residents hail from all over the globe. We enjoy stunning views and all manner of wildlife right here in our own back and front yards.

What makes this property unique

This property has impressive views of the lake and volcano as well as beautiful vistas of the mountainside and garden areas. We also have a lone monkey affectionately named "Harold" who has taken up residence in the trees that line the property.
