Private, quiet home outside of busy La Fortuna, near hot springs!

Enjoy our beautiful vacation home for family & friend vacations. Just outside of La Fortuna in the exclusive neighborhood of La Palma, you will find a small enclave of private homes and the top spa resort destinations in all of Costa Rica. Our home sits at the base of the famous Arenal Volcano on a quiet paved road ten minutes outside of La Fortuna and ten minutes from Lake Arenal!

We are a perfect jumping off point for many activities in the area such as canyoning, hiking, kayaking, rafting, horseback riding, ziplining, fishing, boating, ATV tours, etc. Our management team can help you with planning these activities and more such as transportation, rental cars, and activities around the country.

Delvis is our manager and your concierge! He will arrange for any activities you'd like to do in our area, as well as assist you with travel around Costa Rica. We are an easy three hour drive from the Guanacaste beaches.

It's an easy drive to town for dining, shopping, and nightlife. Or, if you prefer to stay in, we have a fully equipped kitchen with markets close by.

We have our dining table located on our covered patio to enjoy the tropical air and sound of water trickling by in the river behind the house.

Enjoy a yoga practice on the patio, or a nap in one of the hammocks.

We have corn hole game for the lawn area. Please find the bean bags in the cabinet under the TV. Please bring the game and bean bags in if it's wet out.

We have two wood rockers on the front porch for relaxing, reading, birdwatching, and enjoying a favorite beverage (we do all at the same time!).

We have two private bedrooms and a loft. Each bedroom has a new queen size bed. The loft area has two twin beds and an air mattress. Each bedroom has its own A/C and the powerful A/C in the kitchen cools the loft, kitchen and living room. We have full size washer and dryer. Please be mindful that electricity is very expensive so please set the A/C to a higher temp. before heading out on your adventures for the day.

We have a Smart TV for watching Amazon and Netflix or any other subscriptions you may have. Please be mindful if you sign in to desubscribe before you leave. We also have a DVD player with several popular movies.

Beautiful, comfortable and safe home!
We stayed in 3 different homes, this was by far the nicest! We lives the air conditioning in the entire house versus just our bedrooms. Delvis was amazing, always checking on us. We got there very late and check in could not have been easier. The house was stocked with fresh fruit, coffee, water and creamer. We always felt safe and the property has a ton of security measures. LOTS of birds, especially Tucans! We would definitely stay here again!

Exceptional home base
Well maintained, spacious, and extremely comfortable home to serve as a home base for enjoying the La Fortuna area. Outstanding guide and tour service within 100 yards of the property affording outstanding one on one tours. Delvis arranged a personal tour for us with Zander who was an amazing guide whom we highly recommend. There are many fine restaurants in the local area and the house has a kitchen that is well equipped for those who prefer to eat in. Delvis provided us with fresh fruit, milk, and bottled water on our first day. The yard was beautiful and a peaceful place to relax. The bed and pillows were amazing. This was a wonderful place to visit.

Beautiful Home near Arenal
We stayed at Casa Tortuga in the middle of our Costa Rica Vacation. We drove in from Monteverde and the drive around Lake Arenal was scenic with some nice restaurants to stop and take a break. The house itself is very nice and in close proximity to the various Hot Springs. I was concerned regarding the previous posting regarding security. We didn't have any of those issues and just made sure to lock up before we left and utilize the provided safe for valuables. Property Owner communication was excellent throughout and I would definitely stay again next time we are in La Fortuna.

Beautiful vacation home!
The house was beautiful, comfortable, and very well set up! It felt like a mansion compared to all the other places we stayed at while traveling Costa Rica. It was bigger than we needed for just three of us, but it was a welcome break, and it was great to get to do a little laundry in the middle of our whirlwind trip. Casa Tortuga would be particularly awesome if you have a larger group to fill up the space, or were staying for a while and could really take advantage of the kitchen, comfy couches, and huge yard! The location was perfect for us! PureTrek was on our short list for outings and is right close by. The neighborhood is quiet and lacks the crowds, which we really appreciated, but really is right near the hot springs and is just a very short drive to downtown. Delvis, the manager, was very helpful and took care of arrangements for our canyoning tour and answered all of our questions. And all the fresh fruit he put in the house for us when we arrived was awesome and super appreciated! Thanks for sharing your vacation home with us!

Problem during our stay
We had a troubling event happen during our stay — the house was broken into and valuables were stolen. The property manger was a great help — we did not speak their language and worked as our interpreter. But needless to say, this experience put a damper on our vacation. So far we do not know if the property owner’s (or VRBO) insurance will cover any of our losses.

Fantastic Stay in La Fortuna
Overall the property is fantastic. Well located especially if you rent a car. It is very well cared for. I can't think of something we needed that wasn't provided already. The beds in the loft are squeaky, but our boys said they were very comfortable. The outside table/hammock was extremely relaxing and provided a fantastic chance to relax outdoors. We were very happy to have had such a wonderful time in La Fortuna.

Great property & location
Very pleased with where we stayed, the privacy and overall house. The back patio was huge and a great place to relax. My only feedback is that those on a longer stay than us may appreciate an outdoor grill for evening meals.

Fantastico
Great place, right by pure trek canyoning which we did the rappelling and rafting with, the communication with the managers was great, the house was perfect for a family of five, the loft upstairs was nice for 2 kids. Comfortable beds, very spacious for a family of five, close by everything, we also did the 2 day pass at the springs which was a cool place to hang out after a day of adventures. Felt very safe, highly recommended.

Great location beautiful property
Perfect space for two couples or in our case a couple and a friend traveling together. Close to all La Fortuna has to offer, Arenal NP, hot springs, great bars and restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed our too brief stay.

Perfect!
Our family enjoyed several days at this property. The location was perfect for enjoying all the activities near Arenal. The property manager was so helpful! We highly recommend this lovely rental. Horses and cows grazing in the adjacent pastures was an amazing surprise! Thank you for sharing your home.
