Fantastic home in a good location. The outside area was amazing...we enjoyed eating and relaxing there. The host was amazing as well (and daughter Pamela as well)...one of the nicest families we have ever met. The house provides a true Costa Rican adventure with some of the indoor and outdoor creatures that come with it. We loved it!

Excellent place! Clean, plenty of room and the backyard was beautiful with steps down to the river. It was perfect for our stay in the rainforest. There is no dryer, you have to hang dry clothes. I had missed that and wasn’t really prepared for no dryer. Host was friendly and answered questions I had about the area. One of the better places we have stayed.

Air conditioned and plenty of space for our whole family, this house was perfect for adventures in La Fortuna and near Arenal Volcano. A little more road noise than we expected, but otherwise- perfect!

Great stay

We enjoyed staying in Dionorah’s home. We had all we needed, we enjoyed being out of “town”, the back yard was heavenly. Abigail’s cafe, down the street, was yummy although it had spotty hours.

Love this place.

This was our second time staying here. It is a beautiful little home. The home is super clean and a perfect location for those wanting to get some rest but only be a few minutes from the happenings of La Fortuna. The host is wonderful.

Our stay at Penas Blancas was all we imagined!

The entire process from reserving, to check in and check out was seamless. We were in town for 1 evening and the house met all our expectations. Very clean and accommodating for our group of 6 ( consisting of 3 adults and 3 kids). Short drive to town and restaurants and supermarket.

Perfect for family

10 mins from downtown Fortuna this place is the perfect spot for a family. The home is nice but the backyard and river access will leave you speechless. Safe, comfortable, and the host was available for all our questions. P This place was perfect for our family.

This is the cutest property. The outdoor area brought a lot of family time. We loved it. The area was so clean and the sound of the creek was soothing. My only suggestion would be to provide an additional trash bag and paper towels a family of six went through a lot very quickly. Thank you for sharing your home!
