Very Nice House Great Stay
Five of us stayed here for a week in June. Me, wife, 2 kids, and my mother. This property fit all our needs. I think it was nicer than the pictures. Internet was fast. Location was good(only 5 minutes from town center). House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was furnished well. Favorite part was of course the pool, swim up bar, and waterfall. We will book again if ever in the area!

A Perfect Place for a Friend Group Trip
We had a wonderful time at this VRBO! The space was very clean, comfortable, and cute. We loved the pool and swim up bar. There were pool towels and pool toys for guests, which was a nice added touch. We did run out of toilet paper and there was one less towel than we needed, but Carolina had someone come bring the supplies we needed on the same day, which was wonderful. Would absolutely stay here again and would recommend to any larger group (we were 7 friends), but do keep in mind, if you have more than 6 people, someone will have to sleep on a couch! Thank you again :)

Adorable Home Close to town
Overall, the property is PERFECT for a small group. 3 bedrooms, master suite is huge! Nice living space and the grounds are meticulously well kept and provides plenty of outdoor fun and space with the pool and grilling area. It is exceptionally close to town which was nice only taking five minutes to drive to town. I cannot say enough good things about the home. Only negatives would be… And this is being open and honest, several lightbulbs need to be replaced, they do not provide any soaps or shampoo/conditioner for the bathrooms. And only one towel per person, no face rags to wash with if you enjoy cooking as we did by providing breakfast every morning , it is a very practical and well stocked kitchen with utensils but their knives need to be sharpened. Only salt and a little sugar provided so you will need to provide your own oil, spices, coffee. The next time we stay in La Fortuna, we would definitely consider renting this VRBO again in addition to the above, I did notice in the laundry room. There were two air mattresses for overflow of kids. Several games were provided for entertainment as well. I hope this helps anyone in the future. Looking to rent a VRBO in the La Fortuna area. There is also a chalkboard upstairs that has all of their local recommendations for activities and places to eat, which was nice. I highly recommend the tour company called Red Lava and one guide Franklin is extremely educated with all history, wildlife, Flora, and Fauna, as well as Hilarious!

Wonderful place to stay
We had a wonderful time at Casa Turquesa! It was in a great location. Was convenient to town to get to the grocery stores, sodas (small local restaurants and convenient to many of the area attractions like hiking, ziplining, waterfalls, hot springs, etc. House was well stocked and comfortable for our family of 6. The pool was an awesome bonus. We spent our evenings out there relaxing after a day of touring the area. Owner was very responsive to any questions/concerns we had. We like to visit different areas, but if we were to return, we would definitely rent at this location again.

Great house near LaFortuna area
This house is spacious with nice area around it. The best part is private swimming pool with little waterfall and wet bar. Inside the house there are 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms although one of them is located downstairs near the kitchen. Location is close to main road which helps to quickly get to all major LaFortuna attractions but also a bit noisy because of passing cars. Overall it's a great property in LaFortuna big enough to host a group of 4-6 people and with nice flat parking space in front of it

Everything was great about our stay. The property is a short drive from La Fortuna, check-in was very easy, there is a close by property manager that is easy to reach, and the pool is wonderful (day and night!). This property really made our stay near the Arenal volcano very easy with our young children.

Convenient Location
If you have transportation, it is conveniently located near many local attractions, including Lake Arenal, Arenal Volcano and the numerous hot spring resorts in the area. There is a Pali supermarket just down the street and plenty of restaurants in the town of La Fortuna. Our kids enjoyed the pool and had a blast playing under the waterfall. The home and bedrooms were spacious and it was nice to be able to chill in our own space after days spent at crowded hot springs. Just an advisory for any property that you utilize in a tropical/humid location like this one: there will be plenty of bugs and also things tends to break down quicker. All in all, it was a nice getaway for us, thank you for the use of your property!

Wonderful House in La Fortuna
This was a perfect house for our family of 5 (3 school age kids, 2 adults). The location was great, just a 5 min drive into downtown La Fortuna for groceries and great restaurants. 20-30 min drive to all the activities (volcano hike, zip lining, hot springs resorts, chocolate tour, horseback riding, etc.). The only downside of location is the the house is right off of the Main/busy Street into downtown. You can hear the traffic passing throughout the night but would not pass up on renting this house because of this issue. The location/space/amenities outweigh the noise. The house is extremely spacious and there was more then enough room for all of us. Each room has its own A/C unit. The kitchen had everything we needed if we wanted to cook but we ate most of our meals out. The pool was perfect for our kids to swim in during the afternoons and evenings. The only downfall of the pool area is the seating. There is no where to sit around the pool. The only seating is near the BBQ which is hidden away from the pool making it hard to interact with the kids. Again, nothing to deter you from staying here - its still a fabulous space. The bonus of this house was our sloth experience. We got to see a sloth come down from one of the trees on the property and crawl along the fence! It was by far the best sighting we had during the entire stay. We also saw a couple toucans in the trees! The host is attentive and very fast to respond with any questions or needs. She even provided us with a contact name/email for a gentlemen that can help book all of your activities during your stay for you. He was very helpful and all of the tours he selected for us were great! If we ever end up back in La Fortuna we will definitely stay here again! Thank you again for everything!
