Peaceful retreat near all the action

The property is located on the edge of town so was quiet yet convenient to all activities. The park-like yard was bordered by a steam and drew in birds of every color. A ripened bunch of bananas in the tree kept them busy for days. Much to our delight we even spotted a sloth! The pool was clean and refreshing after a hot day adventuring and the whole house a/c was much appreciated. Beds and linens were comfortable. Communication was great. I

Home in the Jungle

Loved this place! Liked how we felt in the jungle but were very close to town. We did see two sloths on our property, but someone had to point them out to us. Love drinking coffee on the porch and listening to the running river. So many local restaurants and shops. I would recommend the local market on the corner for fresh fruits and veggies and we loved the coffee shop next door.

Wonderful Home

We really enjoyed our stay here. We learned that the home was recently purchased by a nearby resort hotel but the property management company remained the same. They were very responsive to our few questions. The home feels secluded but is close to amenities. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the back porch and watching all the birds attack the bananas and papayas we put out each morning. Loved this home!

Wildlife galore!

We loved our stay. The house was perfect for us. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, AC cooled each room and the general areas very nicely. Bathrooms and the kitchen both had hot water. The dryer isn’t there anymore, but we just used the clothes line. The pool was always clean and a great depth for my kiddos. Outside was full of wildlife with over 36 bird species, including a pair of spectacled owls. A guide pointed out four sloths in the trees! I saw male and female basilisks, iguanas in the trees, all sorts of insects, and a few frogs/toads. We were there during cicada season and we loved hearing the bug choir. There’s leaf cutter ants on the property and we had enjoyed watching their lines of ants. A special shoutout to Carlos from the Home Vacations team who helped set up tours or any concerns we had. He’s really friendly and so helpful! A couple of downsides: The lot across from the property has been cleared and has major construction all day every day. Many rural areas around La Fortuna are being developed. The other downside is the property is no longer owned by Lorenzo and his family, but was sold to Noah’s Forest hotel. Sloth tours were led on the property by friendly guides for people staying in other Noah’s forest properties and we had the option of joining with 24 hours notice. We weren’t thrilled to see groups of strangers wandering around the yard, sometimes without guides.

Beautiful property tucked away from the city.

We came for new years and the city was very very busy. This house was a nice retreat to get away from the crowds. The beds were not great. Advertised washer and dryer is just a washer and you air dry. Would have been fine but it rained everyday. Had to pay the hotel to wash and dry our clothes.We did see a sloth, toucan and parrots. The sloth lives in the trees by the creek and spotted him everyday. The house is owned by a hotel Nextdoor and they have a fantastic restaurant with live music and great bartenders.

Nice stay

Property was nice overall. It rained all 3 days we were there. We had a 4x4 so easy to access the driveway - but it could be a problem if you don't have one. We struggled with getting information on how to check-in. We arrived at 2 am and host asked us to call 30 minutes prior to arrival and meet for keys. We did work out a way to get directions and access to the property without having to meet up, but it was difficult. The restaurant just down the road was very good and the location is very close to town. We did not use the pool - weather wasn't great - but I don't think we would have used it even in better weather.

Arenal stay

It was a great location. Great to be outside and yet very close to the town La Fortuna. Loved the pool, it was a great way to cool off from the day. Loved having fruit place on the branch so that we could watch birds while sipping our morning coffee. Very comfortable, very clean. The owner was eccessible which was very nice. Nice to be close to restaurants and many adventures. I would return and recommend this home as a great place to stay.

Beautiful stay in paradise

We had a lovely week staying in this beautiful home. Communication was easy, Lorenzo was very attentive and we enjoyed watching the birds feeding on the fruit he put out each day. He helped us spot the sloths and we saw poison dart frogs, loads of birds, iguana and even an armadillo! The management company were very helpful in organising excursions. We would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay at Arenal Luxury Paradise! Lorenzo put out bananas in the morning to attract beautiful birds that we could watch on the back porch. Only regret not asking him to put them out every morning :) The home is very clean. The location is great. The property is beautiful. Would absolutely stay here again.

This place did not disappoint!!! It was absolutely amazing. The birds were beautiful and we even got to see the resident sloth that lives on the land! Lorenzo found him and made sure to let us know where he was! Also, the pineapple that Lorenzo left for us was devoured by my 3 teenagers is about 30 seconds because it was so sweet!! If you’re looking for a house to stay in, this one is perfect!!! My kids all had their own room and the location was perfect!
