The pool was a great feature in which the kids took full advantage. The House of Tours quickly and promptly helped us arrange a tour with a great price. Would definately stay again and recommend to others!

Awesome location with a private pool
This is a fine spot just off the well-worn areas of La Fortuna. It’s a great home base for daily excursions to the area. Exceptionally clean. Had some pretty weird. But that’s just minor complaint. You will be happy here.

Amazing location, cute house!
This house had plenty of room for our family of 4. We loved having the kitchen and living area, as well as outdoor eating and lounging space. The pool was so pretty. Communication with owners and simple. The location makes it easy to walk into town or up to the market to grab essentials. I’d definitely stay here again.

Great spot in La Fortuna
We were very happy with our stay at Villa Chelis. House is situated a short 7min walk to town, a 5min walk to grocery and a 10min drive to the Waterfall. The House was perfect size for us (we had 4 adults in our group), it was clean, the pool and covered deck were a great place to start our day with a coffee and finish with a drink by the pool. Great experience.

Canadians in Costa Rica
Property was located in residential setting in which close to town centre which was nice as you could walk there,however neighborhood had properties with barred windowed and entrances giving an impression it was an unsafe area. Property itself was older and although was clean did feel old. Kitchen when arrived had a strong negative odour which the property manager did attend too rather quickly when requested. Also tv’ a we’re not working initially but again property manager did attend too and by replacing batteries was able to get working. Overall place was okay.

We stayed a week here and enjoyed the house and pool. Very safe location with a view of the volcano. Only thing I’d change is adding foam covers to the mattresses, they are a bit too hard.

Small Costa Rican Home
The house was smaller than expected but was great for what we needed. 2 adults and 3 kids between ages 15 and 19. Kitchen supply the necessary things needed for coffee in the morning and light meals. Dont expect to cook a five course meal in this kitchen. 😋 pool and patio extended the living space. Close to a grocery store. Smart tvs and adequate wifi. Neighborhood felt safe. Management team was fantastic and very responsive with questions and recommendations.

Quaint little house within walking distance of La Fortuna park and restaurant area. Great view of volcán Arenal. Stalked well with towels, bedding, kitchen appliances and gadgets. Shower temp and pressure were great! Cute little pool and patio, just enough for the kids to cool off after outings. We loved being able to stay in a safe neighborhood and walk around the area, felt like a more authentic experience.

Nice spot near arenal
The property was exactly what 4 friends needed. It is a 3 bedroom, and has 2 bathrooms, though one does not have a sink (only toilet and shower). The check in process was clear and easy, and they were able to assist us when we ended up being delayed and arriving late at night. The property has a nice outside area with a pool and many birds flying overhead around sunset time. The beds were a bit too firm for my taste, but okay for 3 days. They also have a washing machine which was helpful during our stay. Overall a great experience. Would recommend.

Great property. Great property management.
The property was as described. My wife, daughter, and I had a great time here. The property management company spoke English and were super helpful. They gave GREAT recommendations on activities and restaurants. A bit of a far walk to town (close to a mile, I think), so we drove when we needed to go there.

We had an amazing vacation in La Fortuna. The home we rented was very comfortable and the management company was awesome. They were incredibly helpful and available prior to our arrival via what’s app and the entire time we spent in La Fortuna. The home was perfectly located less than a 10 minute walk from the center of town where there are many shoppes and restaurants to choose from. We felt welcome and safe everywhere we went!!!
