Very clean house, about 15 min drive from town. Not easy to find at night the first time. House and pool are great. Wish...

Beautiful Property
This was such a nice stay. The home was great and very well built and stocked with all you need. it was so nice to sit outside, enjoy the pool and the lush surroundings. The care taker came and showed us the local sloth and we had a nice walk around the property. There are 2 other rentals but they are all very well separated. You opulent tell anyone else was around and each back yard:pool area was very private. We lived out time there.

Sloths!
Very clean house, about 15 min drive from town. Not easy to find at night the first time. House and pool are great. Wish for more seating inside. Everything was so clean pool included. Quite location. Friendly gentle man showed us sloths on the property. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Great upscale vacation rental
This two bedroom home was very comfortable. Everything that you need was supplied with the exception of food. The views from the backyard were exquisite. The backyard pool with a negative edge was very inviting and was cleaned every day. A plus...spotted a sloth in a tree right behind the house. Highly recommend this property.

beautiful property, great location!
The home is beautiful and just out of town so a car is needed. Very clean and well maintained. We had limited cell coverage so had a hard time accessing our email for the check in code-so suggest to print/write down before you arrive. The groundskeeper was very friendly and showed us 2 sloths! We would definitely stay here again!

Very enjoyable stay with a beautiful view
We stayed in several locations in a recent trip to Costa Rica. This was by far the nicest property we stayed at. Having a river behind the property made for a relaxing background noise. A lychee grove outside of the house was an added treat. An endless supply of towels was appreciated. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook with. There were a few ants around but being in the jungle you want to see wildlife, not just sloths and monkeys. We would gladly stay here again!

Great house near La Fortuna
Overall fantastic house for a family of 4. Great pool -- spent a number of afternoons by the pool after hiking during the day. Nice and private with excellent view. Good place for spotting birds. Kitchen and bathrooms are very nice. Pretty close to La Fortuna, about a 15 minute drive. Takes about 35 minutes to drive to the Arenal park. Grocery store within 5 minutes drive. AC, laundry and wifi all worked great. Highly recommended.

Private and Perfect La Fortuna Property
We just left La Fortuna after spending 4 nights at Casa Calibri Esmeralda. I cannot say enough great things about this property!! It was absolutely stunning. From the time we walked in, we were amazed. There are 3-4 properties here but all individual homes and far enough apart to be private. The infinity pool overlooked total green space. Large trees where we saw a toucan and other birds. Every morning a groundskeeper cleaned the pool (before we even woke up). Kitchen was well equipped. Filtered water and ice was great! The patio table was large and covered so if it rained we could still sit outside. There was a pool bathroom as well. Everything was brand new in the house. The location was great too. Far enough from La Fortuna to feel like you are in the rainforest, but close enough for all the restaurants, sodas, and tours. We even were able to get restaurant recommendations from the host (Trevesia restaurant). Finally, our last morning, the groundskeeper took us to see a sloth in a tree on the property. He was so low in the tree we could almost touch him! Super excited about that!! Amazing end to our time in La Fortuna.

Great location; more than expected / Excelente ubicación, mas de lo esperado
This house is incredible! Close to La Fortuna (10-15 minutes). Our host, Arnaldo, pretty much thought of everything from comfort to efficiency. We really appreciated the detailed house manual. It helped us with late night store runs and food options. He was available to help with questions whenever we contacted him. The pictures do not reflect how wonderful this place is! The kitchen was fully equipped—whatever you may need. The pool was a huge hit for everyone. We would definitely stay here again. Esta casa es increíble! Está cerca a La Fortuna (10-15 minutos). Nuestro anfitrión, Arnaldo, más o menos pensó en todo, desde la comodidad hasta la eficiencia. Realmente apreciamos el manual detallado de la casa. Este nos ayudó con los viajes al supermercado en la noche y las opciones de comida. Estaba disponible para ayudar con preguntas cada vez que lo contactábamos. Las fotos no reflejan lo maravilloso que es este lugar! La cocina estaba totalmente equipada, lo que sea que necesite. La piscina fue un gran éxito para todos. Sin duda volveríamos a alojarnos aquí.
