Pet-friendly holiday rentals in San Carlos

This location was great if you want to stay close but not too close to La Fortuna. The house is very private and clean. We highly recommend if you want to stay somewhere peaceful with minimal foot traffic.

I really enjoyed my stay here when visiting La Fortuna! The house was spacious, clean, had all the amenities you need, and was in a good spot of La Fortuna with beautiful surroundings. My family and I really liked it. Randall & Juliana were also both very responsive to help if I had any questions. I highly recommend this house for your stay and would not hesitate to stay again in the future if I ever visit La Fortuna again!

If it is available for your dates, book it right now. We spent four nights here with our family of five and I would stay at least one more night next time. The location is perfect in every way- safe, private, walkable, views, easy access to everything. Beds were comfy and plunge pool was a plus. Marvin has thought of every detail... there was even a pitcher of cold water already in the fridge for us when we arrived. Communicating with Marvin was also like having a local friend giving us ideas for our tours. Everything he suggested was great and he made the booking process easy. It was much nicer than the hard sells on the sidewalk of beautiful La Fortuna.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at Erick’s place on our trip to La Fortuna. The house was beautiful and fully equipped with everything you needed. We will definitely be back if we’re in the area again.

Daniel and his team were exceptional. They let us drop our bags off before check-in so we could explore town, offered helpful tour services, and even a complimentary cleaning (which we didn’t use, but appreciated!). The house is in a great location—10–15 min walk to downtown La Fortuna, close to a grocery store, and tucked on a quieter street with a nice local vibe. One note for light sleepers: the house is just past a curve where motorcyclists like to rev their engines, often late into the night. I don’t usually consider myself a light sleeper, but I did struggle. The hosts thoughtfully provide a white noise machine, which helps, but just something to be aware of. Overall, for everything within the host’s control, this stay was fantastic and easily 5 stars!

Beautiful, peaceful place, this is the second time I stayed in the property, and I will most likely visit again.

Excellent communication with Johnatan, quick responses to our inquiries and ongoing support from him. The accommodation is well located, it is comfortable. It met our expectations

Very nice house. Peaceful setting. Beautiful view of the mountains.

The house is very nice! Everything was very clean and the location was perfect for going to and from downtown or places of interest. The pool is a plus that adds a lot.

We spent four amazing days at Venado Valley Ranch. From the very beginning, we felt at home thanks to the warm welcome from Sandra. There is so much to do and experience here. Our children, aged 9 and 11, were constantly entertained by all the animals and activities. Ronald guided us on a beautiful tour through the river to the waterfall, where we had a wonderful swim at this unique spot. The horseback ride with the whole family through the mountains was fantastic. Milking the cows and making sugarcane juice were also great experiences. Breakfast and dinner were prepared by Damaris – what delicious meals she made! We truly enjoyed every bite. The accommodation itself is really special. Our kids even had their own room, where Smokey the house cat came to keep them company. They said these were the best days of the entire vacation. But beyond the location, it’s the people who made it truly special. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us, Sandra, Ronald, and Damaris!

very peaceful place with a great pool

It is an extremely BEAUTIFUL place, perfect for disconnecting and renewing energies, super complete, cozy, the place was spotless, they took care of every detail, it has everything at hand to not worry about anything, the pool super clean and relaxing my husband and I stayed four days and it didn't reach us to enjoy so much that the place offers and the house, definitely the host is a beautiful person, super friendly and sweet, it is just a perfect place, we will come back to this place closed eyes. (highly recommended)

This is a mountain top oasis. We loved the view of the Arenal volcano from the infinity pool. The place was the perfect size for our two families. There was plenty of room for everyone. Mario was very attentive to our needs. We even got the opportunity to milk a cow and visit the farm. If you visit La Fortuna, you should consider staying here, you are close to town but still in the country.

For the moment we saw we knew it was for us everything was spotless well equipped with everythingwe need it Mony was very nice to work and communicate with very quick to respond

We had a great stay at Sunset House! Randall was very responsive to all of our questions. The kitchen was well stocked for the nights we decided to cook in. The location was convenient- close to restaurants and a lot of the attractions. We even saw sloths on our walk around the property! The only hiccup that we had was unlocking the door from the inside, as the lock is a bit sticky

We spent a few days at the beautiful Luculuc Garden & Forest, and it was honestly hard to leave. The moment you step onto the porch and see how nature blends so perfectly with a space that is lovingly built, you feel welcomed and right at home. The cabin is spacious and very comfortable, and it has everything you need for both long and short stays. Our hosts were incredible, warm, friendly, kind and always quick to respond to any questions we had. The big bed in the main bedroom was like sleeping in a cloud. The hot tub and outdoor shower were awesome!! We saw so many birds we’ve never seen before, and in the morning you could hear howler monkeys in the distance. La Tigre is a truly wonderful community, and grocery’s, yummy food and anything you could need are close by. Finally, La Fortuna is 40 min away. We would definitely stay again! Huge thumbs up!

Excellent location, good access, very comfortable and nice apartment.

I recommend it! To spend some relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle! Take into account that at first impression it is scary in the streets, you have to pass a stream but I went by minibus and the street is not really bad, but you must know how to maneuver 💯

This property was absolutely stunning and peaceful! We were able to see some wildlife such as birds, frogs, fishes and cows. Johan was very quick to respond and proactive.

The place is beautiful and the view spectacular, everything clean. Same as photos. We recommend taking a large cart.

My wife and I chose this unit for our honeymoon, the space was extremely beautiful and lush. The giant windows opening up into the La fortuna jungle was breathtaking. We spent every evening in the jacuzzi listening to the wildlife and sounds of La fortuna. Fernando had great recommendations and was very friendly. We’re looking forward to returning to this special place.

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.

We had an amazing stay at Elixir Arenal! Our favorite times were spent outside on the patio enjoying the rainstorms and birds calling while in the hot tub. The river was also a beautiful spot to read or even nap. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed to make a couple meals at home, and the house was a short drive from markets and delicious restaurants (Chante Verde just down the road was our favorite). Priscilla was very responsive and always willing to adjust the hot tub time for us as we were traveling with kids. Would 100% recommend.
