3BR Villa in La Fortuna

Kevin

Excellent, 2 weeks ago

This is a great house in a perfect location a 15 min walk (or 2 min drive!) to all of the restaurants in La Fortuna. Little market right across the street as well. Three bedrooms with sleeping for up to 10. Awesome.

Thank you very much, Kevin, for your excellent review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the location and the house. It was a pleasure to welcome you, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in Costa Rica. Pura vida! 🇨🇷😊 Regards, John & Andrea

John & Isabella’s place is the most beautiful Airbnb we have stayed in. My family of 6 had plenty of space. The house is very clean, well-equipped, with comfortable beds and excellent air-conditioning. The outdoor area is amazing - peaceful, private, a beautiful pool and really comfortable outdoor furniture to sit on and relax each day after doing activities in the local area. John is a great host as well as being incredibly kind and friendly. We are very grateful to him and his team at Tropical Experts Costa Rica for excellent private transfers during our 16 day trip around the country. The service was always professional and reliable. They went out of their way to make our holiday memorable with stops along the way for lunch and to see interesting sights. John and his team made all our travelling around this beautiful country stress-free. Very highly recommend Tropical Experts.

This was the most perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure. John left us some fresh delicious fruit as we arrived which was so kind. We truly appreciated his recommendations, they were fantastic. John also sent videos on how to get to the house that were very helpful. We only wish we had booked more time here.

Johns and Isabella’s place was amazing! We were a group of 9 and had plenty of space. We really enjoyed the pool and outdoor space. We loved the bakery and the store that were within walking distance. We also walked to the main part of town and it was not a bad walk. John was very helpful in setting things up for us, he was also great about checking in with and giving us recommendations. We would love to come back and visit. Highly recommend. We hope to come back and stay again.

This was a great place and we would definitely stay again! The place was clean, John was very responsive, check out was super easy. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in La Fortuna.

John & Isabella's place is absolutely gorgeous. The house is spotlessly clean, and every detail has been attended to. We felt right at home. Comfy beds, welcoming spaces, plenty of extra towels and blankets, A/C in every room. The outdoor area is really amazing - Lots of beautiful tropical plants and flowers, hummingbirds & lots of other birds, so lush and peaceful!! With the walls surrounding the yard, it's very private, feels like a retreat space. The pool is beautiful - My kids and I loved hanging out in the pool. We spent as much time hanging out in the beautiful outdoor space as we did inside the house. John was attentive and helpful, with clear instructions about everything we needed, and responded right away when we had questions. The town of La Fortuna is about 3 to 5 minutes away by car with lots of delicious restaurants and nice shops. We would definitely stay at John's place again!

I can’t say enough great things about this stay! John’s place at absolutely everything I could need for my stay with family. It was comfortable, clean, and surprisingly insect free, even outside! The covered pool area was great for hanging out when it sprinkled and provided nice shade. We had a minor issue and they came within 10 minutes to fix. We felt safe the entire time, the property has a locked gate and home is secure. The home is outside of the tourist area, surrounded by locals and walkable to stores and downtown La Fortuna. When we arrived, we were welcomed with a nice fruit basket and menus for local chefs and restaurants. Good home base for activities around La Fortuna.
