Ericka was the best! She was an excellent host. The place was perfect. We arrived later than expected and she called a local restaurant to fix us four plates and we arrived there at 9pm and ate a delicious meal! Thanks, Ericka!

Perfect home to experience life in north central Costa Rica. The house is comfortable with the basic necessities for an enjoyable stay. Great location with excellent views of Arenal volcano, lake, and surrounding community. Guava tree next to home attracted a multitude of colorful birds. Rooftop view was amazing. Great place to reconnect to our amazing world. The owner and host were both very welcoming and helpful with our stay. Loved it!

Great Location with the Locals

We loved the house. It is perfect for two friends. An upstairs and and a downstairs apartment. Both cozy and the basics. We loved climbing the spiral staircase to get to the third floor. There is a porch swing with gorgeous views of the lake and the volcano. Easily walk to several local places to eat and mini-market. Loved it here.

Amazing stay!

Where to begin? Let’s start from the booking! Even before I booked Melanie answered my questions and continued to be very responsive.Check in was efficient with staff onsite ready to show us everything and answer questions. Pictures don’t give the living area justice (basically 2 large studios). And we didn’t realize there was a 3rd floor with seating area!Living areas cleaned and all functional!Views - OMG!!! Again, nicer in person.Similar to another family we let kids stay downstairs with 2 beds (17 and 20… not kids anymore!) and upstairs is where we stayed and cooked.Washer dryer were great and nights were cool because of elevation so don’t let this stop you.Few authentic restaurants nearby (walking distance, much cheaper than in La Fortuna).Nothing negative to say. Very highly recommend!!!Thanks to host and staff for a very “zen” stay!Kathy

Perfect for giving teenagers their space

Our family with two teenage boys loved this spot! They shared the downstairs and we stayed upstairs so they had some space to be messy, hang out when it rained, etc. We made our meals upstairs and it was gorgeous to eat and enjoy the spectacular view of the volcano. Behind the condo is a road that was the perfect afternoon hike. We saw monkeys playing wildly in the trees, as well as toucans and many reptiles. The property caretaker Gilbert was incredibly helpful and immediately answered any question we sent through Whats App. It's walkable to the lake, although it's a large dirt hill. Along the way there are several little restaurants. Our favorite was the restaurant closest to our VRBO home (I can't remember the name, but it's beautiful with a little alien in front). We rented paddleboards and a two-person kayak from Paddle & Peddle for a perfect day on Lake Arenal. We give this location thumbs up as long as you're comfortable with walking hills and dirt roads.
