Wonderful Property
This house is beautiful and made us feel safe and welcome on our first overseas vacation. The owner helped us find sloths in the trees and left fruit out by the patio for the birds which made our mornings even more peaceful.

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!

Great location!
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.

Paradise Found
This property is absolutely beautiful. The photos and description were accurate. Someone met us at the entrance of the road that the property sits on to be sure we found our way with no problems. The house is spacious, clean, quiet and the comfortable. The kitchen is appropriately stocked for cooking and dining in. The outdoor area around the house is stunning. Including, several covered patios, two creeks, a covered picnic table and BBQ. The private pool was clean and a great place to relax and cool off. Lorezno (the grounds keeper) put fresh fruit out near the back patio in the mornings so we could enjoy watching a variety of birds nibble on them while we sipped our coffee in the rocking chairs. He also found a couple sloths that hang out in the trees on the property for us to see! We wished we could have stayed many more days and hope to return someday and enjoy the house and all that La Fortuna has to offer. We highly recommend this property.

Wow
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!

AMAZING!
Our stay in the house was great. The house is tucked back from the road and behind a gate. The property is gorgeous. Lorenzo, the owner, made sure we did not miss the two sloths in the trees! He also set out fruit so we had a bunch of cool birds visit every day. The bird calls are amazing to wake up to. The house itself is clean and spacious. We enjoyed the creek views, the outside spaces, and the pool. There's a great restaurant at the top of the street that is really easy for a quick meal. Also, Don Juan chocolate/coffee tours is right up the road and is really fun. The House of Tours agents who manage the property set us up with less expensive tickets to several places. Our favorite was the zipline day that included a pass to Los Lagos resort. I highly recommend this location. Thanks Lorenzo, Carlos, and Alan! Pura vida!!

Fantastic Home in Nature!
Our family of 8 adults absolutely loved this Air B&B! From the moment we arrived, Lorenzo and his family made our stay Pura vida! Eder met us at their office downtown and guided us to the home, about 20-25 minutes from town. Lorenzos’s wife made us a traditional Costa Rican cosada dinner the first night we arrived and it was delicious and plentiful! We loved this location and often walked into town. There were also 2 good restaurants on our road and day and night hikes close by. We used the house pool to cool off after hiking or exploring La Fortuna area daily. We cooked many meals at the house and it was well equipped with house necessities. The grounds at the house were spectacular! We saw so much wildlife. Every morning, we watched the many beautiful birds and butterflies as we had our coffee. We saw sloths, iguanas and many frogs. We felt totally safe at this location. We enjoyed having Lorenzo and his family close by and they were quick to help us when anything was needed. We highly recommend this beautiful clean home. Thank you Lorenzo and family for making our holiday so special!

Lovely Home Close to Town
We spent 4 nights at this convenient property with our two children, 20 and 17, before heading to The Springs. The home is extremely clean & feels very secluded. Beautiful area in the backyard to sit and relax and watch the birds! We loved having coffee out there every morning! On 2 nights we had Lorenzo‘s wife make us dinner, and it was amazing. So much food & very tasty! Communicating was funny since our Spanish is not very good, and their English the same.😂 We made it work though, and everybody had a good laugh! The one small issue we had was there is no clothing dryer & I didn’t notice that on the listing (totally my fault!). The washing machine is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before and was difficult to use. After that we hung all of our clothing up on the line and it just never dried completely & had a weird smell. Ended up having to use a drop off laundry service and Fortuna, which worked out, but was a bit inconvenient & cost us $50. Overall, wonderful home & great experience!!

Beautiful escape in perfect location
This was our first time in La Fortuna and Lorenzo’s place is an absolute gem we will recommend to everyone. You’re very close to the city center for groceries and daily adventures, but secluded enough that you feel like you have the rainforest to yourself. My kids woke up every morning so excited to see the fruit Lorenzo set out for the birds. We sat on the backyard rocking chairs for a lot of the time watching the wild life and birds. The pool is perfection and we swam in it daily :). The kitchen is fully supplied and the home is cozy, safe, and large. It was perfect for our family of five. We spent three nights here and could’ve spent more. Check in was great - Lorenzo speaks Spanish, but he’s hired someone who speaks English to show the home and answer any questions. They also were able to get us discounted tickets to all of our tours - night walk, chocolate tour, etc. So nice!! We were able to do laundry, too, which we were so grateful for. If you’re lucky enough to book this home - you will truly enjoy your stay.

Nature in the yard
This is a very simple home with nature surrounding it. We saw every kind of bird and sloths in the trees on the property. An Iguana made an appearance as well. The home is somewhat hard to find for taxi's but we used the Mary's BBQ restaurant nearby as the marker and this helped. We found many great places to eat in and near La Fortuna. The Home Vacations was excellent to communicate with and book excursions with. The staff was very helpful and available for us. We experienced a lot of rain but the temperatures still remained pleasant and we still were able to get out and and do many adventures. This home stay made us live the Costa Rican lifestyle and was a different way of doing things but we enjoyed the experience.

Perfect for families
We stayed here for 5 nights on a family vacation with my husband, myself, our two kids (5yo and 21M), my sister, and my mom. The property is gorgeous and clearly loved by the owners. The house was spotless and came equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Lorenzo came.and showed us sloths in the trees multiple times and we had fun going on "sloth hunts" at night with our headlamps (bring a super strong flashlight with you if you want to see them!). He also came out and hung bananas on a stick out back in the morning and we saw tons of beautiful birds come to eat. The communication from booking to checkout was great. The pool is the perfect size for little kids (my very tall 5yo could almost.touch the entire length of the pool). And the La Fortuna area in general has a lot to do. We also ordered dinner multiple nights from Lorenzo's wife who brought it over to us and I HIGHLY recommend it. It was some of the best food we had the whole trip and was great after a day out. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. The best thing about this rental was the location and the birds! Every morning our host would bring bananas and birds would appear! It was magical The location was great--isolated but very close to the town of La Fortuna--a very special town. Our host was very responsive and we were able to book tours through the rental company. The house was a nice size (bedrooms a little small) but who spends time in a bedroom when in Costa Rica? Our family had a great time here! Thank you for sharing your home.

Lorenzo was our host and he has kept the property clean, safe and enjoyable. The pull is great. The whole location gives living in rainforest vibe and is sarounded by creec on two sides. The top floor bedroom is amazing as it gives view of trees on the property. There are some times sloths and lots of birds to view. In fruite season there are some rambatan, lemon tree, star fruit, banana and dragon fruit. We enjoyed the stay the costarican way. Pretty close to the downtown area although a car or a ride is needed. Grocery stores are 5 minutes away.
