The property is absolutely stunning! There is wildlife galore on the property and you feel like you’re in the middle of the rainforest. We had perfect weather and it was a little cooler but, if it wasn’t, the lack of air conditioning may have been rough! Love love loved this place and so did the whole group. 10/10 would recommend.

ABSOLUTE PARADISE
Oh my!!! What an experience! The property was absolutely fantastic! It gave us all of the peace and seclusion that we needed! My husband and I celebrated our 13 year wedding anniversary and my birthday for 5 days and I can truly say this was by far the BEST villa I have ever visited. The tropical paradise that we experienced was unreal. First of all, the property is HUGE and the landscape is GORGEOUS! I called it the Garden of Eden. The view of the lake and rainforest was amazing from the upstairs section of the villa. The flowers and various plants were stunningly beautiful and the variation of different trees, including palm trees were very pleasing to the eye. There are lime trees and pineapple bushes on the property, which was an amazing treat and we used one that had fallen to take shots and add to our salads one day. The villa is well-stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, and everything else. The washer and dryer was a big plus because it rained a bit while we were there, but I did not mind. It comes and goes. The plunge pools were so nice and the trails were great! More like something out of The Jungle Book. Might I add, the variety of BIRDS was such a pleasant addition. Many different humming birds and other beautiful tropical birds visited every day in abundance. They sang to us every morning. It was amazing to see! I took a walk everyday on the property and discovered something new and serene each day! It was HEAVEN! Book and you will not regret it!

Our family truly enjoyed the beautiful grounds and location of Lake View Villa. We woke to howler monkeys every morning and our sons saw 3. We saw multiple birds including hummingbirds, toucans, aracaris, parrots, parakeets, bananaquits and many more. Grounds are well maintained, very peaceful and relaxing. The location is close to good restaurants and 2 small sized grocery stores (10-15 minutes) and within about an hour of other activities.

Nature Lovers' Paradise
The Villa was a wonderful place to stay for a relaxing week in nature. The birds were breathtaking. We heard howler monkeys every day and saw them several times. A very persistent coati was often attempting to pilfer the fruit from the birds. The grounds and paths are beautiful, but because of the rain we didn't have much opportunity to explore. However, the weather was warm, and the patio was dry, and the birds did not seem to mind the rain. They were always ready to put on a great show!

Beautiful Views, Tropical Forest Feel
We stayed here for four nights and absolutely loved it. The property grounds were beautifully vivid, and the layout allowed for superb viewing of the many bird species around. Inside, there was an upstairs and downstairs kitchen that came in very handy when we felt like cooking. The decor and vibe had a very relaxed, tropical feel, and the upstairs balcony was a neat way to see different views from the downstairs views. We also loved walking around on the short forest paths, where there were strawberry poison dart frogs and amazing plant life. The bird species were incredible, with toucans coming right up to the house. Finally, we appreciated that we felt safe and comfortable for our entire stay!

Beautiful place
The house was beautiful although we were rarely there. We only got to explore the first day around thw property because of the rain but we knew it was the rainy season. It wasnt too far from most everything you definitely need to rent a car. We had issues with the wifi but the property manager was diligent and was able to get it resolved. The cell service isnt very good so we were very greatful that she was able to fix it. There is no ac so keep that in mind but many places in Costa Rica dont have ac. There were plenty of fans provided to make sleeping comfortable.Overall we were very pleased with our stay.

Costa Rica Rainforest
The house is an oasis in the rainforest! It has all of the amenities that you need, and you can't beat the property views, birds and rainforest trail! Allow time to just sit and enjoy the land. It is located about an hour's drive from La Fortuna and 45 min from the base of Arenal. The listing notes the master suite has a separate entrance, but it didn't register with me that there would be no interior access between floors. Not a problem for our group, just an FYI for those traveling with younger kids. We are already thinking about staying there again.
