Beautiful house, beautiful view, great value
We loved the house, the drive to La Fortuna is about an hour each way, but worth the drive. House felt very secure, kitchen was well equipped, full size washer and dryer was nice, and beds were some of the most comfortable we've had down here.

Loved this spot so much we canceled plans to head out and explore one day, and just hung out at the place to enjoy a secluded spot and a jaw-dropping view. It was raining quite a bit when we first arrived, so when the air cleared the next day, it was just incredible. Saw lots of beautiful birds and great sunset view. Highly recommended!

A relaxing and secluded getaway with great views and a few points that need attention.
We were a group of 4 and overall we had an enjoyable and relaxing stay. We enjoyed the views, the wild life and the colorful gardens. The local town of Nuevo Arenal is close by and has some great, casual places to eat with really good food (Lucky Bug, Los Platillos Voladores, Las Delicias). Ed had returned to US before we arrived, and his friend Kirsten got us settled and was helpful with a couple of questions we had during our stay. The use of the local phone was very helpful.
However there are some things that either need attention or guests need to be aware of. The beds are a disaster - this is primarily because there is no box spring under the mattress, and so the mattress collapses into the bed frame during the night. The recent renovations mentioned in the property description were not very evident and seem to be relatively minor. The kitchen is functional but needs updating, and the washing machine & drier are rusty and tired looking, but worked fine. The cleaning in the bathrooms prior to our arrival was not good and there were many examples of hair around the basins and shower. The internet was slow, but I suspect this is not so much a property problem but the capability of the local infrastructure. There were only 3 rocking chairs available rather than the stated 4. Guests need to be aware that any food crumbs/particles not cleaned up will attract ants.
As a final comment, while the views are good, they are not "one of the most spectacular in Costa Rica". With a small amount of extra attention this property would go from good to great.

Paradise Found
We found Casa Esmeralda to be the perfect spot for us to stay in Costa Rica. The view of Lake Arenal is breathtaking. The people of Nuevo, Arenal, are different than any other people weâve ever met. Esmeralda was the perfect home for us. Itâs a private location only minutes away from a small town with some of the best restaurants youâve ever dined in. In two months, weâve gotten to know, the restaurant owners, the shopkeepers and many others in town. Each person was friendlier than the last one we met. If youâre not obsessed with culture and busy days will absolutely love being here.
Our house had all of the amenities that you could ask for. It meant all of our needs, and then some. We had many guests, all of them were comfortable in the home, and absolutely loved being here. We canât say enough about Denis, Jennifer, Amelia, and Kirsten. They responded to our requests immediately and took care of any issues promptly. Many thanks to our host and staff. We are grateful for the opportunity to live in Casa Esmeralda for Teri months. We will be back.
If you stay Casa Esmeralda, you will not be disappointed.

We enjoyed our stay! The views are amazing and the nights at the covered porch too. Quiet location with birds, insects, and mammals sounds to make you feel close to nature. We saw toucans, parrots, and more!

Cozy house with beautiful lake view
Private setting close to nature.
Saw toucans and many other birds.
Easy access from highway and only a few minutes to Nuevo Arenal where you can get everything you need. House was just repainted and looked great. Beds were fine, the TV worked and the shower has hot water!
Property Manager Kirsten will provide you with all the information required for your stay, including places to eat at, places to visit, etc. Furthermore, she is easy to reach and ready to help you any way she can to make your stay more enjoyable.
The most wildlife we saw was when the 4 of us took a personalized boat tour around the lake with Alberto. He was very knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna visible on the lakeshore. We enjoyed his tour very much and highly recommend it. He can be contacted directly at +506-8317-0537 or ask Kirsten.

If you are looking for a quiet somewhat out of the way place to relax this is it. Short drive to groceries and restaurants but a completely secluded spot. Bird watchers paradise.

Stayed here 5 nights. Everything was as stated in description of property. Was here with 2 young grand kids, my daughter and son in law. Great view of lake Arenal. Property manager, Kirstin was fantastic. Easily accessible and very knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely stay here again.

Even though the journey to this home was a bit much, it was indeed worth it. We were disappointed that we did not stay here sooner and wished we could have stayed longer. The owner was very open, informative and friendly. Since no one was checking in after us, she allowed for us stay as long as we wanted to on our last day. I would speak on the view but my words would not do it any justice. This is something that must be experienced in person.

Fabulous view!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay here. The view was truly amazing with flowers in bloom throughout the yard. We saw many birds from toucans to hummingbirds while sitting on the porch. Howler monkeys, though not seen, could be heard most mornings from down the hill. The house is nicely appointed and quite comfortable for the two of us and would be fine for another couple or small family. Kirsten and her husband could not be more helpful, from recommending restaurants and trips to jumping our dead car battery. Truly a magical place.

Beyond Beautiful!
This home was a delight to stay in. We spent most of our time on the outside porch enjoying the view and the absolute quiet. Home interior though was very nice with comfortable beds. Kristen went out of her way to be helpful and available if needed. Of consideration might be that most of the advertised activities are 45- 60 minutes away on a windy road which made a few of us car sick and made for a long day.

Amazing Panoramic view from the porch
Amazing paronamic view from the porch. It was awesome to wake up in the mornings to a view of the lake and mountains and the sounds of the birds. This is exactly what we were looking for. We came with our two kids (6 and 9 years old) who enjoyed the nature and of course the wifi (ipads).
Kirsten is amazing. She helped us getting to the place at night, which was a bit challenging especially with a fog and rain. Her recommendations around the area were good. We all loved the hot springs and the waterfalls near la fortuna.
The beds have definitely been upgraded and comfortable. We all slept so good.
We would definitely come back for more to do in the area.

Breathtaking view, good location, but back breaking beds
If you could take a picture of the ideal view, this would be it. We enjoyed mornings and evenings sitting on the porch, overlooking the bay and watching the colorful birds fly by. The house was very clean, equipped with all the basic necessities and cutely decorated with local art.
Our only complaint was the comfort of the beds. We used all 3bedrooms and the two regular beds you could feel/hear the squeaky springs and the futon has a gap in the middle. We were staying with our three pre/teen kids who generally can sleep anywhere, but complained.
Location was 45 minutes/hr from La Fortuna and all the activities, and the town of Nuevo Arenal had some really good restaurants (we ate at Las Delicias and Gingerbread). With new beds, we would come back here in a heartbeat.

Wonderful Time in Nuevo Arenal at Casa Esmeralda!
The house was clean and well equipped. The view from the front porch was amazing. We watched the sunset most nights. Although the house doesn't normally have a BBQ, Ed was willing to make sure one was there when we arrived. A cell phone was made available for local calls- that was very convenient!
As we really liked to hike, it was convenient being able to hike to Cote Lake without needing to drive. Loved the history of the Aliens that have been reported to land there! We also walked around the nature walk in the adjacent development, Las Flores.
As driving anywhere in Costa Rica can take a long time, we limited our excursions mainly to the Arenal Area. We hiked the 1968 trail, the Observatory Trail and the Arenal National Park Trail. They were all different and beautiful. We also did the Mistico Hanging Bridges- if you need a Disney World Experience in Costa Rica- do it. Otherwise it's crowded and nothing special. We paddled in the eastern end of Lake Arenal. We rented kayaks right from the side of the road before the dam- $15 a person for 2 hours! No reservations needed.
We soaked in the free natural hot springs that are located right before Tabacon. Liked it so much we did it a few times after our long hikes. Pay the guy $5 and he'll make sure you park in a good spot on the side of the road. The springs were filled with both tourists and locals. We felt completely safe.
Our longest trip was to Rio Celeste in Volcan Tenorio National Park. The hike was well worth the muddy trek. The waterfall and river are a most beautiful blue! Be prepared for about an hour and 45 min trip each way- one hour of which was on a dirt road.
We zip lined at Sky Trek- a lot of fun- beautiful views of the volcano and Lake Arenal.
Eat at Las Delicias for inexpensive authentic Costa Rican food. It's minutes from the house. Berta is wonderful and makes you feel very much wanted. Don't worry if there are not a lot of people there- it just doesn't matter! Los Platillos Voladores has great Italian food. It's also close by. Forget about the German Bakery- my stomach felt like it had lead weights after eating there. We had breakfast a few times at Lucky Bug (also close by).Monika's breakfasts were delicious and nutritious! It overlooks a small pond- there are humming birds right next to you while you dine alfresco!
All in all, we had a wonderful time and I would recommend Casa Esmeralda!

Spectacular Setting!!
The home is very comfortable, clean and just as pictured. The setting is much more spectacular than the pictures. The grounds are beautiful with so many flowering plants. Birds, butterflies abound! So wonderful to watch sunset from the rocking chairs on the porch. The property is very private and we felt very safe. The road from the highway to the house is rough in places. We had a 4 wheel drive. Ed Woods was very attentive, gave excellent recommendations on restaurants and efficiently handled a minor bathroom problem. We look forward to returning.

Incredible View and a great host too!
Stayed Mar 26-30. The house is great, and the view of the lake is beautiful. I found myself just sitting on the front porch for a couple of hours each day. The house is clean, roomy and completely stocked with everything needed. It was unusually hot while I was there, and the house having room air conditioners was a great benefit for sleeping at night. The directions provided were excellent and precise, so finding the house was fairly easy.
Nuevo Arenal is about 4km away for grocery shopping and some very good restaurants. La Fortuna and the tourist activities are about 45 minutes on a very scenic drive. I also went to Canas, Liberia, and Monteverde from this great central point...all a short drive away.
Ed was a great host, extremely helpful and just a phone call away if needed. His directions were precise, and he is so accommodating. I can't recommend this property enough. I go to the area about every 3 months, and feel that I will return to this property every time from now on.

Very Nice House in a Beautiful Location
We loved staying at Casa Esmeralda. The view was gorgeous! Beautiful landscaping. We saw monkeys and lots of birds, including a couple toucans. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was a short drive to Nuevo Arenal for groceries and other supplies, and a little longer drive to hot springs and other activities near the volcano. The property manager Ed was very helpful in providing suggestions for things to do. Overall, an very pleasant experience.

Beautiful location
Very well kept home, a nice welcome by Ed and his wife with fresh flowers in the house, bit of an issue with the ants but easy to deal with, no BBQ. Loved having coffee on the terrace and seeing the parrots and toucans and even some monkeys at a distance. Three bedrooms but the third is just a futon not very comfortable. About an 50 min drive to La Fortuna over very twisty roads and slow going, we did the La Fortuna falls( worth doing) approx 500 steps to go down but you can go in the water at the bottom, Mystica hanging bridges seen some wildlife(also worth doing), Sky Trek zip lines (very good) well organized. We also tried out the hot springs the locals used very relaxing. There is a trail nearby the house that Ed told us about that was nice to do and close by. Nice grocery store in La Fortuna. Overall a great experience. Thanks Ed for use of a phone and all your help.

Stunning Views!!!!!
Our stay last week was amazing! The home has stunning views and the solitude was enjoyed! The porch and rockers were addictive! We spotted toucans and enjoyed hearing the howler monkeys every morning.
We drove to La Fortuna almost every day for activities, which was about 50 minutes each way. The area has so much diversity!
If you or family members get car sick, BRING MOTION SICKNESS PILLS! (Or you can get them at the local pharmacy as we did) The roads are as windy as the scenery is beautiful!! :)
Our only difficulty was the wifi which didn't work even 1 moment the 3 days we were there. My husband needed to send out some work documents a couple of times and we had to drive into town and send them from a restaurant there. Other than that, we can fully recommend this home!!
The driving directions given were so helpful and we found the home with no difficulty.
Thanks for a lovely place to hang out and enjoy the beautiful Arenal area. While there we did the Mistico Hanging Bridges tour. We had already been hiking a lot by our selves and I'm glad we took the time to do it with a guide. He was able to point out so much more to us and it changed how we viewed things for the rest of our trip. We also did canyoneering, a river rafting trip on the Balsa river and the Arenal Volcano hike with finishing at the local's free area of the hot springs near Tabacon. We were thrilled with everything we did. Costa Rica has done an amazing job with tourism!

Om vÀrden
Kirsten Werink de Witte Àr vÀrd
The house is owned by a North American family. The extended family members vacation at the house whenever their schedules permit.
Varför vÀrden valde detta boende
The owners were vacationing in Costa Rica. Overwhelmed by the view from the house and the surrounding area, they purchased the house without concrete plans. It has been one of their best decisions.
Vad som gör detta boende unikt
The house is conveniently located right off the main road and only a few minutes from Nuevo Arenal. The area is a vacationer's paradise that offers a variety of activities unique to Costa Rica. The house is entirely air conditioned for any 'outdoor challenged' visitors.
