Amazing villa!
My family and I stayed there for 3 nights and it was absolutely perfect. The villa is nice and spacious. I love the kitchen and the view of the water from the villa. Would definitely recommend this to others and stay again when I'm in CR.

Beautiful bungalow home in gated community with view
We saw many beautiful birds while on the property. The gated community of villas is quite charming and tranquil with a view of the lake. The rental property is beautiful and and host is super easy to communicate with. We are very pleased with our decision to book. There were a few stray cats our daughter enjoyed tending to. We drove to the hot springs and on the way stopped for breakfast at a wonderful restaurant and store with an overlook. The small local town had several restaurants and a small quick mart. The drive in the mountains was so peaceful and I’d definitely go back again! Thank you for hosting us

Great staying at Lago Arenal

Roomy and comfortable
We stayed at this property for 8 nights. We found the place spacious and comfortable for 4 adults. We enjoyed the location with its proximity to Towns without being in the middle of it all. A BBQ and some comfortable outdoor furniture would make the beautiful outdoor space even more enjoyable

We highly recommend this ...
We highly recommend this rental. We have stayed many places in Costa Rica and were delighted to find a home of this quality for rent. It is extremely well appointed, beautiful and spacious, with high quality linens, towels and furnishings. All the appliances in the kitchen are high quality as are the pots and pans and other amenities. Everything is exactly as was described on the web site. The staff on site extremely courteous and helful. The view of the lake and moutains is beautiful and breathtaking. P.S. If you stay here you must try Las Brisas Restaurant on the road to Tilaran. The food is fantastic, the chef is a true culinary artist !

Lake Arenal
The property was in need of some minor repairs (lightbulbs, no coffee carafe, confusing light switches, no outside lights in the front) - we got the impression the owner was doing the minimum to keep the property updated. The area was very quiet but remote to the activities we ended up doing. Access to the lake was a mystery. More information on this would have been very helpful. The driving instructions were overly complicated - 3 or 4 sentences with defined distances would make this property much easier to find.

Beautiful location but house needs care.
Beautiful location but house needs care. Furniture is very uncomfortable. Deck is falling through in one location. The TV in the casita is not connected. Hot water faucet does not work in one restroom.Ceiling fans are wobbly and need to be balanced. There are several doors and no two lock alike.

Great place to stay!
We rented this house for our visit to the Tenorio and La Fortuna areas. There were 4 of us (2 couples) so we had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy some alone time at night. We did day trips from the house to Volcan Tenorio and Volcan Arenal and we would return to home to sleep. Returning "home" made it a much more enjoyable and relaxing trip than if we had stayed at a hotel. We would have loved staying one more night to just relax but unfortunately we had to return to San Jose to catch our flight back home. Pablo was GREAT and super responsive to our questions, and he checked on us to make sure we were able to arrive to the property and that everything was OK. Thank you so much for having a house like this available, it made our trip much more memorable because of it! Tip: There is a huge tree close to the lake and we saw toucans fly out of there as well as long tails that we assumed were either monkeys or coatis; amazing!

Not up to par
We arrived at May 4 with 6 persons and stayed for 4 days in this house. the house was not very clean (we were forced to do some cleaning ourselves...) and there was no one around to show us how the TV works or the wifi. They did not know the password of the wifi. Later on the management said that we arrived on a weekend and the office is closed.... Strange for a vacation home. There we venthood did not work at all. We were not very happy with the view or the privacy of the house. We cannot recommend it, unfortunately.

Property Advertising Not Updated
I rented this property because of the hot tub, I have a bad back and the hot tub has always been a relief for long travel times. The hot tub didn't work, contacted the host and he said he was going to contact the maintenance person to come check it out then never got a reply back from him even after several other attempts to contact him asked for a discount and again no reply, the pool area was dirty. The refrigerator wasn't working, had to wait for maintenance person to come taking away our day of vacation and exploring. The pictures are problem from when the property was first advertised like back in the 1900's. They ask to remove your shows but the wood floors had, like termite damage to it, I had to wear my flip flops afraid of stepping into damaged flooring. I was disappointed. I think VRBO needs to address these issues, its like false advertising.

Really hot here
The pictures accurately describe this property and the view is very nice. I've used VRBO for over 20 years and, while I can't put my finger on it, this place fell short of VRBO standards. (This is the first time I've not provided an excellent rating.) The directions to get there were terrible so make sure you look for the bus stop, not the Yacht Club sign! Also, had we not met a man who lived in the development I'm not sure how long we would have waited to get in the gate. You should know that there is no air conditioning in the common areas and it got really hot during the day. (No air conditioning is common in Costa Rica but this place is really warm.) When we arrived there was a huge piece missing from the wood floor.and it is apparent that they have termite damage. (We arrived a day late so I'm not sure why this didn't get fixed in advance!) The casita shows a TV in pics but it isn't hooked up! The bathroom had, at one time, a soap/ shampoo dispenser but it fell off and the backing stayed! Also, air conditioning froze up and TV quit working in main part of the house. Finally, the property manager offered to help us with any excursions yet referred us to a boat owner who didn't speak english..needless to say , that wasn't an option. I think that with a little attention, this place could have been great. However, first impressions being what they are, I can't rate it any higher.

Easy days in a peaceful setting
The property is good floor plan and located with the view of the lake. There are two excellent restaurants about a three minute drive. The nearby town of Tilaran Is everything you would need. It is still rainy season which encourages you to get out early and be back by mid afternoon to enjoy the tropical rain. We would certainly consider using this location again

Lovely place
This is a lovely property in a quaint neighborhood. Loved that this had a second master suite. The deck is a lovely a place for morning coffee over looking lake arsenal & watching the birds. Kitchen & living room is very nice & spacious. The 2 things that we had difficulty with was that this house is quite far away from Any activities or tours. We didn’t realize that it is over an hours drive to la fortuna when we booked the house while we don’t regret staying here wish we would have realized the drive time. Secondly the TV was not working & there is really nothing to do if you don’t bring games or a book etc. which really was not a big deal to us except for the first night when we arrived later not wanting to go out but too early for bed. Did not have the opportunity to use the pool or club house however looked nice Overall a really nice stay.

Needs work to make this a comfortable place to stay
Everything about the property felt run-down. The couches (which we had read reviews about) were really more uncomfortable than we could even imagine. The location is in a somewhat rundown gated community. The gate itself is the nicest part. The pool is not heated, by a separate building, and not well maintained. The Brisas del Lago restaurant that was recommended was probably the best part of our stay. We left our reservation a day early because there was really nothing enjoyable about being at the house.

Fantastic stay at wonderful property
The property was as pictured and described on the Home Away site. The house is located in what appears to be a very secure, gated community near Tilaran and we felt safe during our stay there. You would definitely want to have a private car or a driver available to get around, as it is too far from town to walk. Everything in the house was clean and in excellent repair, and we really benefitted from having a washer and dryer available. From the porch we had wonderful lake views; we heard the howler monkeys and saw many birds and gorgeous sunsets. The best thing about our stay was the fact that the property manager, Pablo Aguilar Gamboa, served as our personal tour guide and driver throughout our stay. He made sure that we ate delicious food at the best restaurants, spotted wildlife with the most knowledgeable guides, got to see local parks and gardens that aren't listed in Trip Advisor, and arranged for the best tours and activities. He knew how much time it took to get to our destinations, and to do our planned activities, the best time of day (and even the best day) to schedule the activities, and he even helped us with grocery and pharmacy shopping. With Pablo's help we managed to do everything on our "bucket list" and more, without the stress and hassle of managing a rental car and navigating and driving in unfamiliar terrain. Pablo could not have been more gracious or helpful, and he made the difference between an ordinary vacation and a truly extraordinary one. All in all we highly recommend the entire experience.

Awesome location. With cultural experience of rural Costa rica
Had a wonderful time. Pablo was very helpful. Would have been even better in cushions would have been more comfortable and outside lounge chairs provided. We felt very safe and our interactions with the locals were very positive despite the fact that we were not fluent in spanish. House was very clean.
