The property was absolutely amazing. The landscaping and flora was spectacular. The pool was perfect for the boys. Last but not least the view was unreal! My wife and I needed a break from reality and this place provided that. The locals in El Castillo were all so helpful and such a beautiful people. If we ever get back to Costa Rica we will definitely be visiting Serenity again. Plenty of space, beautiful home, and amenities for cooking.

Volcano and Lake view with constant wildlife
Incredible setting and a very nice place. The view of Lake Arenal and volcano are truly wonderful especially since they are constantly accented by hummingbirds, toucan's, tanagers and countless other colorful critters. It was nice having restaurants and shops close by.attractions is wonder

This was a great spot for viewing the volcano, hiking La Fortuna Falls and going to Sky Adventures. The local restaurants made delicious food and everyone was kind, friendly and helpful!

Amazing
Serenity house did not disappoint! The views are outstanding and we spent hours on the back porch watching all the birds. Bring binoculars! Augustine was very helpful and always responded quickly to any questions we had. We loved every minute there and we were sad to go. Thank you Serenity and Costa Rica!

What a View
We were only there 2 nights and when we arrived there was no electricity, no flashlights and no candles/matches. The property manager worked diligently to get us flashlights. The driveway is long and steep, the recommendation for 4 wheel drive is absolutely warranted. A little further from attractions then I was expecting. No air conditioning. But on a clear day it is spectacular and very comfortable.

Amazing view and house
The house and pool were great but that view, you just can’t beat! Everything was there that we needed. Just wish the road was a little easier to get up to the house but otherwise all good. Check in process was good and Ericka and Agustin took great care of us.

Double check
Location was fantastic for bird watching. The view from the back patio is stunning!
Pool was not in good working order.
Wasn’t super clean. Not guest friendly… no closets, hooks, towel racks, or places besides the floor for luggage or clothing.

This was our first visit to Costa Rica. The home and views were as good if not better than described. The bird life and comforts of this home all made for beautiful memories. Hope to visit Costa Rica again and would hope to enjoy it from this home again.

Amazing!
The photos do not do the house justice. On arrival the house was clean and had all of the necessary kitchen and bathroom essentials. Each room had an individual bathroom with shower that had good pressure. The view of the arenal volcano was breath taking and the pool was a perfect way to stay cool down in the heat. Disclaimer the pool structure is made of a cement type of material and we did get some scrapes, but nothing too bad. Also, there is no jacuzzi it is simply a “water feature”. In addition, there are lots of insects surrounding the property and they do tend to go in the house but we expected it and we had no real issues. One thing I wish the house provided would be some type of curtain in the master bedroom. The sunrise would light up the room and wake us up very early and at night it was pitch black outside and creepy at first especially with all the noise outdoors. Overall, we would definitely stay here on our next visit to Costa Rica!

Rainforest getaway
My wife and two adult children stayed here for a week. Everything was as advertised, especially the need of a four wheel drive getting to the place. A lot of room in the house and beautiful views. The large porch was very relaxing for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Would definitely stay again.

Serenity is the Perfect Name
What a special place to stay. The view of Arenal is amazing and there are so many birds you can watch all day and see a dozen or more species. Sit on the back deck and watch the hummingbirds…..and there are lots of them.
House was very nice, beds are comfy, has all the essential kitchen supplies and the water is potable. The Master has no blinds so be prepared but there is no one to look in so no worries. Note, there are no closets or dressers so you will be living out of your suitcase.
As many others have pointed out the drive to the place is more than a little interesting. For sure have a 4WD vehicle, which you need anyway for some of the things to do in the area.
There is a restaurant up the hill that is very good and reasonable. We got in late due to a wreck and showed up to eat 20 minutes before they closed. They could not have been nicer and the food was tasty. There was also a group of women doing karioki upstairs which was entertaining.

This property is wonderful. Just the other side of the mountain from la Fortuna and a long drive up a mountain but well worth it. There are lots of things to do and places to eat right near the property and the wildlife you can see out your door is incredible.

The name sums it up: Serenity
A stunning location with a comfortable and well-equipped home. Morning coffee on the patio to watch the toucans along with other birds and the amazing views of the Arenal Volcano made for the best start to each day. There are lots of activities in the area and great places to eat, especially the Ventanita Cafe and the Phoenix. Just make sure you have a four-wheel vehicle to get to and from the house when you leave the main road...it's a must have. We highly recommend Serenity!

Absolutely the best view I've ever had at any of the VRBO's we have stayed in. Make sure you rent a 4x4 to make it to the house but once their it is amazing. It was an easy check in and out. The house is clean and simple but has everything you need.

House with a view
Serenity House is exactly what is described and all the photos are accurate. The views from the porch are amazing and the wildlife is everywhere. We saw monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds and countless more birds. The nighttime insects are abundant though so be prepared for that. The pool stopped working 2x in our time there and would randomly turn back on, it wasn’t too big of a deal because it was too cold for us to use. The view from the pool is lovely though.
As for location…it is VERY remote. The drive up the mountain is very rough and you definitely need 4x4. It was an adventure for sure. We had dinner at The Phoenix our first night and it was perfect. El Patio at the bottom of the road also has outstanding food.
Overall, we loved the house and location. Just be prepared for rough roads and bugs and spiders in the house. It is a jungle!

Amazing views, great off the beaten path stay
Wonderful house at a great price. It is as described, so be prepared to be a little remote. The local town is wonderful with a great fruit and retable stand, bakery, and restaurants. Each morning we would adventure out for an activity (such as hanging bridges and ziplines). It took about 35 minutes to get to the different destinations.
The view from the house is wonderful and as other reviews mention, the wildlife is present!
Our only hiccup was with the couple of power outages we had to figure out how to manual open the gate. It was simple enough todo, but did cause a moments pause.

Secluded Jungle House with Amazing Views and lots of Birds
Loved this place! The back yard was amazing. The views were amazing of the volcano. The pool to cool off in was awesome. The birds were so fun to watch- we saw toucans, hummingbirds and yellow chest birds. The Pheonix restaurant just down the road was definitely one of our favorite places to eat- went there both nights. Really close to Sky Adventures for zip lining. You need a car that can handle a rocky road to get here- it's a fun drive up and down. Property manager wonderful- helped us reserve zip lining and recommended restaurants. La Street Bistro in downtown Fortuna was really good too.
Highly recommend this place!
