Holiday rentals with lake access in Lake Arenal

Alexandre has been a fantastic host. We stayed at his other property and he is always responsive and provides great recommendations of things to see in the area. The area is very peaceful and you can see the lake from the house. Nice place to visit for a few days.

Amazing location, very close to town but felt like you were in the jungle. Very clean, cozy, and well-equipped kitchen.

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in La Fortuna—honestly, it was even better than the photos! The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. You can tell how much care goes into every detail, inside and out. The outdoor space was lush and peaceful, with a view so close to the volcano it felt like we could reach out and touch it. Karina, the host, was exceptionally thoughtful. She left a kind handwritten note and some chocolates to celebrate my niece’s 11th birthday, which was such a sweet and personal touch. It’s rare to find that level of warmth and hospitality. If you’re thinking of staying in La Fortuna, don’t hesitate—this place is a gem. We’d come back in a heartbeat. Ania

Wow! What an amazingly beautiful home for a group to share! Loved the spacious place and clean accommodations, large outdoor seating area and the pool is perfect! Just from the house we saw a sloth, toucans, & lizards. We felt very safe with having a locked gate. The privacy was nice. I hope to be back soon!

Casa Malecu was absolutely stunning! We had an amazing stay. The view of Lake Arenal was beautiful, as were the grounds and the house. Lots of big windows to see in all directions. The highlight of our stay was the main shower that had a floor to ceiling window looking out onto Lake Arenal. Well-maintained and nicely decorated. We wish we had booked for longer. We did have an issue with our key; it broke our first day there. However, Pedro was quick to our rescue and we were with a new key in minutes. Also, the place is a little difficult to find since there are no addresses. Can’t simply plug it into an online map, instead you have to rely on landmarks. A good thing we didn’t drive in at night like we had originally intended or we probably would not have found it. For our purposes, it was close to the various areas we wanted to visit such as Arenal, La Fortuna and a 2-hour drive. We will definitely come back!!

We have stayed at Casa Isabelita multiple times. It is always so peaceful. We hope to stay again.

Aqua Vida is simply amazing. Words cannot describe how you’ll feel when you see everything you get with this property. It’s off the main road in La Fortuna but it’s very safe and peaceful. You get all the privacy you want while being 5 minutes away from everything in town. A huge natural spring pool, a covered area where you can cook, have your meals or just hangout, a huge yard to play in, a stream going through the property with beautiful trees and absolutely stunning landscaping. All this and you’re still not even in the house. Book this place. You’ll be happy you did.

It really is an incredible place, a comfortable, beautiful and very well-equipped house. It may be one of the best beds, pillows, and sheets you've ever found on an Airbnb. If you go with dogs, it is an ideal place because it has a large garden for them to have fun safely. Norman was super attentive, and responded to all my messages in a timely manner. If you're going to this area, don't hesitate to stay here. This place made my top 5 of the best Airbnbs in Costa Rica.

The view over the lake arenal is just phenomenal! The house has a huge garden with some fruits, herbs & vegetables wich we were allowed to eat. We can for sure recommend.

Beautiful place if you’re looking for peace and quiet!

Great, peaceful spot. Would stay again

The host is very friendly, the accommodation is beautiful, exceeded my expectations in every respect. We will definitely be back!

Maria's home is tucked in a beautiful and private, but also convenient location by Lake Arenal. Maria is so welcoming, responsive, and made my birthday trip extra special with a few accommodations/touches! Would definitely return and highly recommend others.

This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The atmosphere is peaceful, incredibly relaxing, and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Breakfast was fantastic, and having a chat with Paul was truly a blessing. Thank you, Paul and Carole, for such a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

The host is very attentive, the place is very nice and in a quiet village, close to Fortuna and Ciudad Quesada, perfect to disconnect without losing access to other facilities

Nice and modern apartment, located in a very beautiful section of the valley with great views of Lake Arenal. Tanyia and Rod were also very friendly and provided us with a list of local attractions.

Great place to spend a weekend or some vacation time, with a tiny supermarket nearby which can be reached out by walking. Adrian was very responsive, making the stay even better. I recommend the place and would stay again when going to La Fortuna

This was a most beautiful setting. The views of Lake Arenal and the volcanal were spectacular. If you climb to the top of the property (very easy to do as it is open pasture) it is even more beautiful and the volcano is easier to see. The property both inside and out had room for a larger group than the four of us except for sleeping area. There were two queen beds and two bedrooms and also a pullout couch in the living area. The only reason I mention this is the kitchen, living room, outside patios and size of the outdoor area would lend itself to a much larger group than current sleeping arrangements afford. Melissa, our host, was very responsive to questions and problems. One bathrooms hot water was not working and she offered to have it fixed right away. We opted to just use the one bathroom so as not to interrupt our stay. Melissa seemed genuinely interested in making any suggested improvements and was a pleasure to deal with. Great location 20 minutes from La Fortuna.

This place was perfect for our group of six! We were able to easily reach our Arenal Volcano excursion from this home. The pool was perfect for slipping into after a full day of travel. There are quite a few creatures inside and outside of the home but it was not an issue for us! The showers were great and the beds were very comfortable and AC is always appreciated!

We stayed at Juan's recently and were very happy! The unit itself is gorgeous with everything meeting our needs, and the host was very responsive, helpful and made the check-in and check-out process very straightforward with clear instructions. I would definitely recommend this unit and would stay here again!

very peaceful place with a great pool

This was an amazing AirBnB there is far more to do and enjoy on the farm than you expect. The farm is enormous and there is a short hike down a little hill through the jungle that leads down to a big open area for cattle where you can cross a stream and enjoy the beautiful nature. Also there is this great, cheap restaurant called Victorino's which is relatively close.

Super nice place! We could see the dardo frogs very easily, super recommended!

Our stay was perfect for our family. We really enjoyed everything about our time here!
