Perfect for a family vacay in La Fortuna

Casa Turquesa was a wonderful place for our family to stay for our vacation in the La Fortuna area. We felt safe in the gated property. The pool was perfect for the kids. The decor was elegant and charming at the same time. And you can’t beat the location! It’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city bit just a quick 5-minute drive into town. Highly recommend!

Fabulous pool area

We were a family of 6- 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 girls 4.5 and 7.5 yrs old. We loved the colourful house. There was plenty of room on the main floor- 3 sitting areas. The bedrooms were great! But the best part was the pool with the waterfall. My grandkids loved it so much! I think we went swimming 3 times a day.! Now the cons. There is no hot water in the kitchen to wash the dishes. Also,the oven dial markings have disappeared. So it was a bit difficult when you wanted to use the oven. Other than that we lived the place. Especially the grandkids!

Our family of 5 stayed in Casa Turquesa June 1-6. It was super clean, nice and very accommodating. The location was perfect-only about a 2-3 minutes drive from La Fortuna. We would definitely stay here again.

Convenient and Comfortable

Everything was great about our stay. The property is a short drive from La Fortuna, check-in was very easy, there is a close by property manager that is easy to reach, and the pool is wonderful (day and night!). This property really made our stay near the Arenal volcano very easy with our young children.

Very Nice House Great Stay

Five of us stayed here for a week in June. Me, wife, 2 kids, and my mother. This property fit all our needs. I think it was nicer than the pictures. Internet was fast. Location was good(only 5 minutes from town center). House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was furnished well. Favorite part was of course the pool, swim up bar, and waterfall. We will book again if ever in the area!

Wonderful Host

We had a great stay. The property is close to town but out far enough to feel secluded. The property is well kept and nice. Communication with the host was top notch! She even recommended places to eat and activities. We had an issue with water in the house due to a massive rain storm and they responded to fast and took care of the issue immediately. Highly recommend staying here and would stay again.

Thanksgiving in Costa Rica

We rented the house to cook an American Thanksgiving dinner. The property was everything we could have wished for. The house is clean and spacious. The property manager was great and offers a lot of advice with regards to local restaurants and tourism. The pool was great during the hot afternoons. We will definitely be returning next year.

Wonderful place to stay

We had a wonderful time at Casa Turquesa! It was in a great location. Was convenient to town to get to the grocery stores, sodas (small local restaurants and convenient to many of the area attractions like hiking, ziplining, waterfalls, hot springs, etc. House was well stocked and comfortable for our family of 6. The pool was an awesome bonus. We spent our evenings out there relaxing after a day of touring the area. Owner was very responsive to any questions/concerns we had. We like to visit different areas, but if we were to return, we would definitely rent at this location again.
