Holiday rentals with lake access in Nuevo Arenal

We had a fantastic stay at Curt’s place! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely amazing—delicious, hearty, and filling every single time. Curt was a wonderful host who took the time to give us a tour of his beautiful property and shared so much knowledge about the local area. His recommendations for restaurants and tourist spots were all spot-on and really enhanced our trip. One of the highlights was the incredible wildlife we got to see—everything from critters to a sloth! It was truly unforgettable. On top of all that, Curt’s team went above and beyond by surprising one of our group members with a birthday cake, made fresh with only a few hours’ notice. Such a thoughtful gesture! We’re so grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend Curt’s place to anyone looking for an authentic, warm, and memorable stay. Thank you, Curt!

I would definitely recommend this place and would absolutely stay here again , the host was so friendly and accommodating and the house was extremely beautiful , clean and comfortable.

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.

The home was exactly as described and offers beautiful views of the lake! The home is close to La Fortuna and all attractions. The layout worked well for our family (older adult child and two teenagers). Nancy is a great host and gave us good suggestions for things to do! We enjoyed our stay in El Castillo/Lake Arenal area and will be back!

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!

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.

Realmente es un lugar increíble, una casa cómoda, linda y muy bien equipada. Puede ser de las mejores camas, almohadas y sábanas que haya encontrado en un Airbnb. Si vas con perros, es un lugar ideal porque tiene un jardín amplio para que se diviertan de manera segura. Norman estuvo súper atento, y respondió todos mis mensajes oportunamente. Si vas por esta zona, no dudes en alojarte aquí. Este lugar, entró a mis top 5 de los mejores Airbnb en Costa Rica.

It truly is a little slice of heaven! Pictures don’t come close to doing it justice! We stayed 3 nights. It was easy to get to and close to the La Fortuna area. We can’t recommend pie in the sky enough! From check in to checkout it was wonderful!

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!

Very nice stay , very private area. Awesome having the entire place as a couple

Great, peaceful spot. Would stay again

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.

Unser Aufenthalt bei Carole und Paul war großartig, wir haben uns wie Zuhause gefühlt. Das tägliche Frühstück war immer abwechslungsreich und sehr lecker. Die Unterkunft hat alles was man braucht und liegt direkt am See, die Aussicht ist wirklich schön. Alles war sauber und ordentlich. Carole und Paul waren sehr lieb, hilfreich und einfach zu erreichen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden definitiv wiederkommen.

El anfitrion muy atento, el lugar muy bonito y en un pueblo tranquilo, cerca de la fortuna y de ciudad quesada, perfecto para desconectarse sin perder acceso a otras facilidades

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.

La fortuna nunca decepciona y en esta ocasión en el hospedaje de Adrian no fue la excepción, su casa es simplemente hermosa, acogedora y con una vista increíble, cuenta con lo necesario para hacer de la estadía muy placentera. El anfitrión 10/10, con su amabilidad, claridad y manera oportuna de brindar información hizo de nuestra primer experiencia en un airbnb muy agradable, Adrián muchas gracias.

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!

Muchas gracias Marianela por tu amabilidad, esperamos regresar!

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.

Súper bonito el lugar! Pudimos ver las ranas dardo con mucha facilidad, súper recomendado!

pasamos bárbaro, éramos 3 familias, 17 personas y nos ubicamos perfecto, la casa muy bien equipada. pudimos hacer varios paseos cerca de ahí,
