Amazing view!
At first, we received the wrong check-in instructions. We drove an extra 25 min each way from the house to meet with someone for check-in. On the day of the check-in, the owner sent us another message with the correct instructions and house info, but we were on a road trip that day and the internet was not working everywhere plus I wasn't looking for new instructions when I already received one. I will not recommend driving there after dark: the road along the lake is veeeery wavy and it is very hard to drive. The house itself was disappointing.. at first, it is very dirty: dead dry bugs everywhere, dirty dishes (disgusting) and old/used sponge to wash dishes, some dirty bed linens, a lot of bugs (alive) inside, one of the bathrooms: shower without a door - when you take a shower, everything becomes wet. There is no AC. The owner brought fans, but they were very loud, and around 9 am (we were in March) it was already stuffy. All furniture, mattresses and everything are old and the house itself is not taken good care of. On the good side- the view was amazing, a lot of birds around, very spacious house. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place and wouldn't come back.

Stunning view
The house was great but it was not well stocked with just a few basics—no trash bags, dish soap, salt and pepper. Check in was super confusing. We were told to drive to a restaurant which was nearby to pick up the key. The restaurant turned out to be quite inconvenient to get to so the owner said he would meet us at the house and he was 30 minutes late. The house has been painted dark blue and the photos are white so I didn’t know if we were at the correct property. There was no sign to identify it. Either way I recommend that you DO NOT attempt to find this property after dark. The roads are extremely winding and narrow and it’s very hard to find the turn off to the house. The house does not have AC, which was listed in the description so it wasn’t a surprise, but it also lacked screens for the large glass doors and the windows. The breeze at night was great but without screens a lot of beetles were attracted to the lights inside and some biting insects. The internet never worked for us which was problematic. The network was visible but every time we tried to connect it said “no internet” and the owner was not responsive about this. The location of this house and the open spaciousness made up for the other areas of lack. The view was absolutely breathtaking and the sounds of the birds in the morning was glorious.

Fantastic villa and a base to explore Arenal region
Our three-day stay at the villa in Costa Rica was fantastic! The location near the lake and volcano offered stunning views, while the surrounding trees and birdlife added to the natural charm. The villa was cozy and comfortable, providing a perfect base for exploring the area. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would love to go back.

Family vacation at Lake Arenal
The house has wonderful views and the living spaces are nice and large.great location for exploring the Arenal area.we spent 4 nights 3 days. We went to Mistico Hanging bridges, white water rafting, Baldi Hot Springs and enjoyed the shops and restaurants of La Fortuna and Nuevo Arenal. The first night we had a chef and assistant provide us a beautiful meal to kick off our trip after a long day of travel. The food was great! It’s definitely Costa Rica living. You have to be ok with some bugs in the house with you! The house does not have air conditioning, so windows and doors are open and most don’t have screens. We learned after the first night to turn on outside lights and only have on the lamps inside to not attract the bugs ! We would definitely rent this home again if we come back to Arenal.

Family Trip
Nice house in a beautiful setting. Lots of space for a large group. A few problems that marred our stay just a bit: No window/door screens or fans in the large common area which meant the only way to get any relief from the heat was to open the doors which meant mosquitoes inside. Were supposed to be fans in bedrooms but two of them didn't work. A few safety issues: 1) clothes dryer does not shut off on its own 2) missing smoke detectors 3) one of the bedroom doors has a lock that's installed backwards. Door blew shut on its own several times, once when door knob was in locked position and daughter was in the room. If someone hadn't been there, she would have been trapped in the room 4) gas stove burners do not light on their own and we were given just a small cigarette lighter to light them manually which resulted in a couple of scorched fingers 5) one of the exterior door locks was broken so house was not secure when we were out for the day Most of these things are easily correctable so hopefully they will be fixed for future guests. Our stay cost us over $500 per night, however. At that price we weren't expecting to have to deal with things like these
