Villa Laurel | 3BR, Heated Pool, Perfect Location - Houses for Rent in La Fortuna, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

Karina’s place was immaculate-it’s clearly a true labour of love. We had the most amazing 3 night stay and absolutely loved every aspect of it. The property is beautifully designed and, as some previous reviewers have mentioned, it looks even better in person than it does in the pictures. The outdoor space was outstanding. We made full use of the heated pool, which was incredibly welcoming and perfect for relaxing. And the views were simply breathtaking. We weren’t able to see much of Arenal Volcano during most of our stay, although we did catch a glimpse on one day when the clouds cleared up a bit. We’ve stayed in many Airbnbs over the years, and this is without a doubt one of the best we’ve ever experienced !

We loved our stay here! Beautiful setting! For the price we wished the mattresses were higher quality, my husband had to switch to couch!

Karina’s home was beautiful, and truly the nicest rental home we’ve stayed in. The house is so well maintained and clean. Our kids loved the pool, and we loved that every bedroom has its own spacious bathroom. We traveled with our kids and our parents, and the house was perfect for all three generations.

Superb Airbnb. We stayed during August, so most afternoons were quite rainy. Our whole family were happy to spend the time at the property. The pool was great with a stunning view and peaceful surrounds.  Couldn't have asked for more. La Fortuna was the only place we hired a car in CR and I would recommend it to stay here. Although I did check Uber and there were 8 cars operating within 5 minutes if you really don't want to drive.

Such a cool spot! Very private yet just a short drive or even walkable to La Fortuna with plenty of restaurants and grocery store. The pool was perfectly heated and enjoyed by all members of our family from young boys to grandparents. We stayed during the rainy season so Arenal was hidden much of the time but was breathtaking and RIGHT there when they clouds cleared. I loved the sounds of birds, cows, and nature that surrounded us. The home is new and pristine, rainfall showers were awesome. Highly recommend!!

Our family loved staying here. The location is incredible - peaceful but also conveniently just a few minutes away from activities. The layout was perfect for our family. The pool is amazing. The reviews before us were spot on. The pictures do not do it justice. Such a memorable place to stay.

Beautiful Airbnb and perfectly heated pool in a private location with majestic volcano views. The kitchen was awesome and the outdoor covered seating area was so convenient for rainy days. An excellent place for a family to relax within a short drive of La Fortuna!

Amazing place. We will definitely stay again!

The house is superb and everything is included, from kitchen accessories to Tupperware... :) The kitchen is complete, large and well appointed. The bedrooms are huge, as are the bathrooms. The 28'x16' heated swimming pool is in front of a beautiful outdoor porch where you can spend your evenings. There were no mosquitoes, none! We went on a 4x4 trip to visit the Arenal, went horseback riding to get to La Fortuna Waterfall and of course the hot springs. There is a free one right next to the Tabacon hotel! Really a great experience. I would come back to this beautiful Villa Laurel anytime. You feel at home, and it's really private, clean, new, and safe. Thank you so much.

La maison est superbe et tout est inclus, des accessoires de cuisine, en passant par les Tupperware… :) La cuisine est complète, grande et bien aménagé. Les chambres sont immenses, les salles de bain aussi. La piscine de 28’x16’ est chauffée devant un superbe porche extérieur ou vous pourrez passer vos soirées. Il n’y avait pas de moustique, aucune! Nous avons fait du 4x4 pour visiter l’Arenal, de l’équitation pour se rendre à La Fortuna Waterfall et bien entendu les sources thermales, il y en a une de gratuite juste à côté de l’hôtel Tabacon! Vraiment une superbe expérience, je reviendrais à cette belle Villa Laurel n’importe quand, on se sent à la maison et c’est vraiment intime, propre, neuf et sécuritaire. Merci milles fois.

Karina’s house is amazing.  We have a family of 5, which consists of three teenagers.  This was the perfect place for us!  The view of the Arenal Volcano from the back patio/pool deck was beautiful.  The house was absolutely spotless and comfortable.  Karina is a great communicator, which made the entire process seamless.  Any question we had, she answered promptly.  We also loved that the privacy of this location.  There is one Villa next door, but you wouldn’t know it while inside the house or in the pool.  It’s just off the main road through La Fortuna, so you’re away from the busy streets and noise.  However, it’s a quick short drive into town for anything you want to do.  We would highly recommend this house to anyone that plans to spend more than a couple nights in La Fortuna, especially if you have kids!

This home was so amazing both inside and out.  Our family loved all the space provided inside, and all three bedrooms had their own private bath!  The patio and heated pool were wonderful and the views of Arenal are incredible!  We were staying at a nearby resort that felt cramped and overcrowded and were lucky enough to find this beautiful property available during our time in La Fortuna.  Karina was fantastic as a host!  And very understanding when we discovered a flat tire on our rental car the morning we were to checkout.  Stay here!  You will not regret it.

we loved staying here! amazing view and location

Amazing Airbnb. Best view, super clean, everything inside that you need. Super comfortable beds, heated pool, Gas BBQ if you want to cook outside, UNO to play at night. Amazing surroundings and super close  to town. Complimentary delicious coffee. Clear instructions throughout the house and from Host. They ask you to  separate trash to take care of environment. Would have loved to stay there longer and if in La Fortuna, I would definitely go back.

Wonderful place! Beautiful, clean, and comfortable! The pool was perfect. Villa Laurel had everything we needed- and more!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Villa Laurel. An amazing property that was just perfect for our party of 6. The kitchen was well equipped giving us the ability to cook especially with the outdoor grill. The pool and deck area was an amazing hangout space - waking up early and just sitting out poised for views of the volcano and wildlife was one of the many highlights of our vacation. Toucans, hummingbirds were a plenty. The property itself is very well positioned - midway between the thermal baths and the town of Fortuna - but a short distance off the main road which meant it was quiet and felt very private. We enjoyed many activities - and all a short accessible drive away. Karina and Pamela were wonderful hosts - communications were friendly, instructive and timely. Overall we don’t hesitate in recommending this property! Our only regret is not being able to stay longer

We absolutely loved our stay at Karina’s place. The view of the volcano is unbelievable. The yard is landscaped beautifully front and back. The pool is heated and was spotlessly clean. The house is spotless and thoughtfully designed. The sliding glass doors on the back open up to the pool deck for an open air feel. There is no AC in the main area so this it’s helpful to keep the doors open to keep it comfortable. La fortuna stays more temperate than other areas of Costa Rica so it was very tolerable even though we were there in one of the hotter months. The bedrooms all have AC and stay very cool. The house was stocked with everything we needed to make coffee and cook meals. We also had a 9 month old with us and Karina happily provided a pack and play. The house is located JUST on the edge of the town so it’s a very quick drive to town for restaurants and activities. I can’t say enough good things about this stay!

Stunning place! This is certainly paradise ❤️! Luxury, privacy, amazing views 🌋, and the hosts provide the best customer service! Definitely coming back for a longer stay ❤️… thank you Karina for the amazing experience ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing villa overlooking Manuel Antonio national park.  The "crows nest" was a great place to chill at night and smoke a cigar.  The concierge was always available and the maid took care of our laundry.  Our trash and pool deck got raided by monkeys one night and the mess was cleaned up before we got home that afternoon.  This is a marquis property and the memories are priceless.

This place was amazing! Location was perfect and the place was stunning! Karina had all the amenities you would need. She was quick to respond and gave great recommendations. We were close to all the attractions and local restaurants. We would definitely stay here again. The pool and backyard were so pretty. We loved sitting out there in the morning drinking coffee. Bonus was a heated pool! Great for night swimming!

Beautiful home! Rainforest view. Birders would love this home. We saw over 50 species of birds from the house, including toucans and parrots. Karina was very responsive with answers and recommendations. The house is clean, bug-free, and thoughtfully stocked. Each room having its own air conditioning and bathroom was perfect. The town is lovely and the Hotel Lomas up the drive (5 min walk) has a good restaurant. If your family loves wildlife in a relaxing setting, book this one. We didn’t want to leave!

This placed looked amazing during our research, but was even better than we expected upon arrival. Absolutely stunning views and surrounding landscape. Super clean with everything and more needed for our stay. We felt very safe and enjoyed the easy access to town and area attractions. Our kids loved the pool! Not sure we could have ordered a better vacation stay in La Fortuna - we hope to return one day and will surely recommend to our friends and family in the future!

Absolutely amazing and even better than the pics!  The warm pool has a great sunset view of the volcano with a ton of birds flying in the surrounding trees.  Furniture is comfy and everything looks new.  AC in bedrooms works well & showers are a great experience. Host is very responsive.  Only 12 min drive to town, but tucked back behind a farm so no street noise.  Adventure companies can pick you up from here or you can drive.

Loved the stay! Lived up to my expectations and beyond. Loved mornings drinking coffee and bird watching by the pool. Hard to tear the kids away from swimming all day. Close to everything, but your own little paradise.

Karina's place was absolutely perfect, we could not have asked for a better Airbnb in La Fortuna! The location is amazing - close to everything yet you have privacy and feel like you are right in the middle of the rainforest. The backyard, pool, and view were stunning, the heated pool we loved and used daily. Karina is a great host who is friendly and very quick to respond to messages. Highly recommend for anyone traveling to this area! It is very clean, safe, and overall a great place to stay!

Beautiful home in La Fortuna.    Close to town ( best to drive), beautiful view of the volcano, home is like brand new, great heated pool, WiFi worked great, home is safe & private, all linens including pool & bath towels.  Each bedroom had its own beautiful bathroom including a great rainforest shower!  Close to all the key activities in La Fortuna.  I hope we can stay at this property again!   It was fantastic!

We really loved this house. It was lovely, comfortable and  the pool area was fabulous. We actually got to see the volcano despite 3 days of rain prior. The location is so close to town and yet so peaceful and the surroundings are lush and gorgeous. Can't say enough good things about this experience.  Karina was a fabulous host and answered very quickly.

Awesome house outside of the city but close to everything. This place had everything you need for a great stay. Everything was spotless and perfectly set up from kitchen needs to beach towels. The heated pool was wonderful with a beautiful view. Karina communicated with us and had the house ready early which was a bonus. We stayed 2 nights but it could have been a week

Our family of five (including our three young boys) had such an amazing time at Villa Laurel. Katrina is the perfect host - proactive, helpful, responsive and kind. The property itself exceeded all expectations and we’re grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy this awesome place even for just a few days. We hope to be back in La Fortuna in the future and would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you again, Katrina and family, for the hospitality!

We had a wonderful time. Beautiful spot The pool was fantastic The birds were amazing We saw a pair of toucans I recommended it to my friends who are coming next month

This place was pristine and in a perfect spot. Just minutes from everything: restaurants, groceries, adventures. We weren’t sure we would make use of the pool given cooler weather, but we ended up spending a whole day enjoying it - heated to the perfect temperature. Everything seems brand new. Comfortable beds, great layout for our group, and the most stunning surroundings. Friendly hellos from neighbouring cows were charming. We didn’t get a view of Volcan Arenal in the four days we were there, which just means we will have to return to try again! A lovely home!

We absolutely loved this stay! The view of the volcano was stunning (even through clouds!), we loved bird watching off the back porch, and the pool was the perfect temperature. Inside everything was comfortable and worked flawlessly for our family of 6 adults. Easy to get into town and our tour even picked us up from this property. So peaceful — you won’t be disappointed!

The home was even more amazing in person!! So beautiful inside and out . Very clean and inviting. Didn’t want to leave ! Karina was excellent at communicating , friendly and helpful. Thank you Karina . We will definitely return!!! Pamela

We had an amazing stay at Karina’s beautiful home, the pool was very well maintained and heated to a very comfortable temperature. The views were stunning and the many varieties of birds was a delight. The house was very well equipped. Peaceful location but close to the town. Can highly recommend this holiday home.

Karina’s place was absolutely amazing!  It was the perfect spot for our family of 4. The house was very clean and comfortable. The beds and showers were great. The bathroom outside by the pool was super convenient while swimming. The location is beautiful. Very close to restaurants and attractions but feels like you are in the middle of the jungle. The pool was super warm and was so great for our two kids. I can’t recommend Karina’s place enough, we will definitely be back!

This house was one of the most beautiful Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed in. The view of Arenal Vulcan was amazing. The location was perfect, only a few miles from La Fortuna.  Book early this will be a hot rental.

We loved our stay at Villa Laurel! The house, grounds, and pool are beautiful and well designed and everything was clean and well cared for. The host was so kind and helpful, quick to respond whenever we had questions. It was our first time in La Fortuna and we were happy with the location - the peace, privacy, and volcano views were unbeatable and it was just a 5-10 minute drive to plenty of restaurants, shops, etc. A great place to stay!

The location is amazing. The place was very clean and smelled extremely good. The heated pool was wonderful with the view of the volcano. I recommend to all.

L’emplacement est incroyable. Le logement était très propre et sentait extrêmement bon. La piscine chauffante était merveilleuse avec la vue sur le volcan. Je recommande à tous.

Karina's place was excellent! Such a neat location! We loved the view of the volcano! So close to everything but also so peaceful. We plan to come visit again!

Wonderful place!  Close to stores, restaurants and activities but also felt so private and secluded. Home was pristine and comfortable and the large, heated pool and surroundings were so peaceful and beautiful. Hosts were responsive and helpful!  We enjoyed relaxing in the home after long travel & activity days. Would absolutely stay here again!!!

We loved this place! The location was so quiet, the pool was so lovely and everything was just as described. The view from the pool towards the volcano was amazing! Check in was smooth and the host was very communicative and helpful. We’d love to come back here someday!

We had a wonderful stay at Karina’s home for our family Christmas getaway. The property was absolutely fantastic and just as beautiful as advertised in the listing. Everything we needed was there, and the space worked perfectly for our family. The scenery was stunning and really added to the magic of our holiday stay. We especially loved the Christmas decorations throughout the home – they were such a thoughtful and festive touch that made our celebration feel even more special. It’s clear that Karina put real care into making guests feel welcome during the holiday season. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend time together as a family ahead of Christmas. Highly recommend Karina’s place to anyone looking for a beautiful and welcoming home for their stay!

The best Airbnb we have stayed so far! The place is surrounded with beautiful scenery and faces the Arenal Mountains. The heated pool is a great spot for relaxing. All the amenities are new and clean. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful stay in beautiful La Fortuna. Pamela and Karina made our stay many times better by their outstanding hospitality. The place was spotless, everything was where it had to be and the pool was kept in check on a daily basis. My friends and I had the best time during our stay here. Will definitely come back for another stay.

What a beautiful home! We had a wonderful stay. It was very clean and spacious, with a heated pool that was amazing. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, and the home was surrounded by beautiful greenery.

This property is BEAUTIFUL! It is better than the photos. Extraordinarily clean, very well equipped, and extremely peaceful. Gorgeous view of the volcano and the landscaping and gardens are so well maintained. The beds are comfortable, the pool is pristine, and the farm is charming! Truly, I can’t write enough about how great this property is. Additionally the hosts are VERY responsive and helpful. If you are thinking about this property, book it! Pura Vida!!!!

We love the location here and the view out of the back was absolutely stunning. The pool was really nice for the kids to plan and we had a really good time.

Perfect place to stay in LaFortuna. Karina’s house was beautifully designed to maximize views of the volcano and the heated pool was heavenly. We loved everything about our stay.

Amazing property with a beautiful view! The pictures don’t do it justice — it’s even better in person

Karina was an attentive host, the place is beautiful, it has an incredible view, the location is spectacular, the hot pool is a plus in the house, the view of the volcano and the surroundings are very beautiful and quiet. Thank you very much for hosting us, we will definitely return again

Karina fue una anfitriona atenta el lugar es hermoso tiene una vista increíble la ubicación es espectacular la piscina caliente es un Plus en la casa la vista al volcán y los alrededores son muy hermosos y tranquilos Muchas gracias por hospedarnos definitivamente regresaremos otra vez

I went with my family for the weekend. We have visited the area on multiple occasions. I had never stayed in such a beautiful place, with such an excellent view near the Arenal. It exceeded my expectations and I hope to be back at some point. In addition, they were very kind at all times.

Fui con mi familia el fin de semana de paseo. Hemos visitado la zona en múltiples ocasiones. Nunca me había quedado en un lugar tan bello, con tan excelente vista cerca del Arenal. Superó mis expectativas y espero volver en algún momento. Además, fueron muy amables en todo momento.

This place was AMAZING!  The view of Arenal is even better than we expected. Every single detail was well thought out.  It was super comfortable for our group of 5.  We loved hearing about the history of the property and are so grateful to have shared this little slice of heaven for our stay.  Thanks you Karina for being such a great host.  I have already recommended your home to friends.

Absolutely perfect place to stay while visiting. Very easy access to Fortuna (5 mins) and very accessible at night. Perfect location to view the volcano and have privacy yet close to everything. The pictures do not do the house justice. Zero complaints.

By far the best air bnb experience I’ve had!!

Photos don’t don’t do this place justice! A must stay when in La Fortuna. The nicest place we stayed the whole trip.

We loved staying in this beautiful house with a gorgeous view of the volcano. Our granddaughter loved the heated pool. Taking an uber was very inexpensive and just a short ride to many delicious restaurants. The furnishings are gorgeous. We will definitely stay here if we ever go back to La Fortuna!

This house was perfect ! The view of the volcano was spectacular and the heated pool at night was the cherry on top. It’s nearby the center of La fortuna but far away enough to be surrounded by nature. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting La fortuna .

Our family enjoyed the pool and great location. We even got to see a sloth! Karina was very responsive and made sure we had what we needed.

Our stay was exactly what we expected, and we couldn't have been happier! The service was amazing, and the property was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend! Plus our host Karina was very helpful and quick to respond.

Karina's place was amazing! The view of the Arenal volcano was so special. Getting to sit outside by the pool and read a book or swim and view it was special. The wild flowers, the birds, etc. It was a great experience and only a few minutes from La Fortuna town. The pool is better than the pictures. The cleanliness and tile work - one of the best Ive swam in. Karina was responsive, the rooms were beautiful, the air conditioning was a big plus and the rain showers were a great touch. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed with my wife and 4 young children, the house was adapted to our needs and the place was simply wonderful, surrounded by a lot of nature, the heated pool was the best for our children, we will definitely stay again in the future. Communication with Karina was always excellent. This house and its location is 100% recommended.

Me hospedé con mi esposa y 4 hijos pequeños, la casa se adaptó a nuestras necesidades y además el lugar era sencillamente maravilloso, rodeado de mucha naturaleza, la piscina temperada fue lo mejor para nuestros hijos, definitivamente nos volveremos a hospedar a futuro. La comunicación con Karina siempre fue excelente. Esta casa y su ubicación queda 100% recomenada.

We LOVED our 3 night stay at Villa Laurel !! Karina is extremely responsive, never leaves you waiting . The house was very clean , organized and decorated nicely . Pool towels provided and shampoo/ conditioner / body wash in shower . Everything you need is there! The pool facing the volcano was amazing !! We loved it so much and we are so happy we chose to stay here instead of a hotel . Very close to downtown LaFortuna . We had a car and parked downtown but we used Uber at times , very easy . All of the 5 star ratings were so accurate !!! Great place to stay and enjoy LaFortuna ! Karina is a wonderful host , choose Villa Laurel .

Great location that's close to town but feels hours away. Home and pool are very high quality. View from the back deck is spectacular.  We were two adults and three teenagers, plenty of space.

Our stay at Villa Laurel was amazing. The location was peaceful and scenic, with an amazing view of the volcano. The house was comfortable, and had everything we needed! Karina and the team were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend if you’re visiting La Fortuna!

My husband and I stayed here with our three young children. It was positively the perfect place for us. They enjoyed swimming in the pool multiple times every day. Everyone appreciated that Villa Laurel is just a short 5-10 minute drive from many adventures and restaurants in La Fortuna. The views of Arenal volcano are beautiful. We enjoyed watching the birds every morning. Karina was a wonderful host, communicating clearly and promptly. You will love your time at Villa Laurel!

Do not hesitate to book this place now!!! This home is better than the pictures. It feels brand new. The pool is warm and pristine and you can watch the cows graze while swimming! Waking up to the volcano in our face while sipping coffee is an experience unmatched. Beds are comfortable and showers are glorious. This is a place you could stay at and never leave the entire time you were in La Fortuna BUT everything is at your fingertips here…short drive to hot springs, zip lining, waterfall, hiking, night tours, sloth tours, coffee-chocolate tours and of course all you would ever need in town. We miss it! We cannot thank Katrina enough for opening this gorgeous home up to our two small families. A lifetime of memories were made and we are so grateful!!

Villa Laurel is an incredible property. Like many others have said, the pictures don’t do it justice. This was my first trip to the area and picked this home over several others. After I arrived I drove by some of the homes I didn’t pick, and I am so glad we stayed here. I don’t know if you can find a better home, in a better location, on such an unbelievable piece of property. Karina and her sister Pamela are incredible hosts and were extremely responsive throughout our stay. At the conclusion of our stay they asked for any suggestions I might have and it was almost impossible to come up with anything. They have covered every little detail perfectly. If you are planning a trip to La Fortuna and are considering this home, book it now. You won’t regret it.

We loved our stay at Villa Laurel!  It's located on a quiet farm with beautiful landscaping and was perfect for our family of five.  Would highly recommend!

This was a great place to stay conveniently located minutes from the center of town with a beautiful view of the volcano.  It was perfect for our family of six.  As an added bonus we saw two toucans as we were packing to leave.  Katrina was extremely responsive and helpful.  If you plan to visit La Fortuna this is where you want to stay.

This property exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning volcano views that served as a dramatic backdrop throughout our stay. The location strikes the perfect balance—close enough to easily access all the main attractions, yet tucked away in a private setting that felt like our own personal retreat. The accommodations were absolutely pristine. Every room was immaculately clean. The entire property is beautifully maintained. The pool was a highlight of our stay, it provided the perfect spot to relax while taking in those incredible volcano views.

Great host, great recommendations, AMAZING place and view!

cannot recommend this place enough. the photos don’t do it justice. the views are amazing and the home is modern and very well appointed. could not imagine a better airbnb in the arenal area. highly recommend!

Our stay at Villa Laurel was exceptional. The home and its surroundings were beautiful. The location was perfect for all of the activities that we had planned in and around La Fortuna. Karina was very responsive and proactively offered recommendations for local activities and experiences. We would highly recommend Villa Laurel. We look forward to returning in the future.

Beautiful villa! Clean, modern, and had everything we needed. We did need to contact the host a couple of times and she was incredibly responsive and helpful. The location is perfect. Very close to the city of La Fortuna, nestled in farmland with an amazing view of the Volcano. Highly recommend!

Karina was very attentive, place was clean and an astounding view. Would recommend anyone coming to la fortuna to stay here

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

This house is the perfect spot while exploring La Fortuna. It’s so close to all the restaurants and excursions. We ended up stopping at the house between all of our activities because it was so close and easy to access. The house is way nicer than the pictures look and very clean! The pool was very refreshing and the views of the volcano were amazing!! I would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting the area!

Wow! Villa Laurel is absolutely amazing! The photos do not capture the true beauty. Karina was always quick to respond with a lot of suggestions and helpful information for our stay. We spent most of our time on the patio enjoying the beautiful pool, surroundings and the wildlife. The bird calls every morning were something from a nature  station on Spotify. The location is perfect.  It is  secluded but within minutes from downtown La Fortuna. We highly recommend staying here and hope to return. Thank you, Karina, for sharing your home with us.

The house was even better in person! Located in a super convenient location close to Fortuna but also very private. Karina was very responsive and also left a special birthday gift at the house before we arrived which was so thoughtful. My family enjoyed how clean and spacious the house was along with the view of the volcano and beautiful plants. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this place. I would highly recommend!

My family and I were speechless when we pulled up to this beautiful home. Everything about it was perfect. The volcano with the cows made it so magical. We loved the warm pool even when it rained. The location was private yet close to town.  We wish we could of stayed longer and give more than 5 stars! Villa Laurel and La Fortuna will always have a special place in our hearts.

This house is so much better than expected. Beautiful views, perfect location. Peaceful. Away from the hustle but minutes from activities and restaurants.

The search is over! This is the place, just book it. Karina’s vacation home is new, modern, and spacious. The design was well thought out and executed. The home boasts three bedrooms and four full bathrooms which were all pristinely clean. The beds and linens are high end and comfortable. The pool with volcano view is breathtaking and the photos do not do this place justice. Just down the road is La Fortuna with all the activities and adventure, but this home is on private property away from all the kitschy tourist traps. We are avid travelers and this is easily in the top three places we have ever stayed with Airbnb.

A truly unforgettable stay in La Fortuna! This property is everything you could hope for when visiting Costa Rica’s adventure capital. Nestled in the La FORTUNA Adventure area with jaw-dropping views of Arenal Volcano, the setting alone is worth five stars. But it doesn’t stop there—the home itself is modern, beautifully furnished, and designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The location is ideal—peaceful and private, yet just a short drive to waterfalls, hot springs, zip-lining, and the town of La Fortuna. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, offering personalized recommendations and local tips that really elevated the experience.

We are avid Airbnb renters. This property was hands down the best kept up property I’ve ever seen. Everything is new and extremely clean. Pool service came every morning which is unbelievable. Perfect location and a great host to complement.

10/5 for this place. Amazing place, views, location and Karina. She made the process so smooth and connected me with local travel company to book different activities. Thanks a lot for everything ! Loved out stay.

Amazing villa and pool, views of the volcano were mesmerising, wildlife was captivating, excellent location for tours and restaurants. Very relaxing villa. Host was very quick to respond to any queries.  Would definitely recommend villa to others and was the perfect way to begin our first visit to Costa Rica.

There’s a reason this place is a 5 star AirBNB. It just is. It fit our family of 5, it had the most beautiful view of the Arenal Volcano (even if the clouds kept it hidden most of our trip), and the host was kind and helpful whenever we had questions. We saw tons of birds, hummingbirds, butterflies and we named one of the cows on the farm next door Mr. Moo Moo. We could see him grazing nearby when we were in the pool. I had never been to Costa Rica before but if I return again I would stay here no doubt. Our family was super happy with everything on our trip with this Air BNB.

This is the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had. The house itself is gorgeous - everything looks new, there was more than enough space for our family of 5, and it had all of the features, amenities and supplies we could’ve needed. Karina proactively reached out and was available and very responsive throughout the booking, checking and checkout process and during our stay. The best part though is the location. The house is situated on a cattle farm so we had lovely bovine friends greet us from a safe distance behind fencing daily. The view of Arenal is simply breathtaking and there were many species of colorful birds in the trees constantly. It feels so serene and remote, but you’re a 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk to the heart of Fortuna. There is also a hotel onsite with two good restaurants if you don’t feel like venturing into town. We felt safe and comfortable during our stay and it was the perfect home base for our time in Fortuna. Can’t recommend highly enough!!

I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect stay! This property is beautiful and so well maintained. We woke daily to toucans flying by, and watched the sunset behind the volcano every night. The location is fantastic- very close to restaurants and tours, but private and tucked away. The house was clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. I have never loved a pool as much as we loved this one!!! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Perfect place to call home during our trip!

Truly top tier. We were so pleased with the house, location, and views. It is very close to everything, but feels absolutely private. The views were unbelievably beautiful. It was one of the cleanest houses I’ve ever stayed in, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the outside grounds were perfectly manicured and resort quality. The host was very easy to contact and answered quickly and was very helpful. We’d absolutely stay again, and suggest it to anyone in the area.

What a wonderful house! Everything was perfect. Even more beautiful than the pictures. The house is located in a quiet environment but just close enough to all the activities of Fortuna and services (restaurants, downtown, supermarkets, etc.) with stunning views of the volcano. What a pleasure to have coffee in the morning in such a beautiful environment, while listening to the birds. Don't hesitate to book this beautiful home. We enjoyed everything: the beautiful courtyard with the pool water has a pleasant temperature and is always very clean. What a nice surprise to have a dishwasher in the kitchen and very good drinking water. The hosts were very generous in leaving us delicious local coffee that we could enjoy in the morning. We were able to observe toucans, monkeys and many beautiful birds around the house. Thanks for the perfect stay, we're already missing it!

Quelle merveilleuse maison! Tout y était parfait. Encore plus beau que sur les photos. La maison est située dans un environnement calme mais juste assez près de tous les activités de la Fortuna et des services (restaurants, centre-ville, supermarchés, etc.) avec une vue imprenable sur le volcan. Quel bonheur de prendre son café le matin dans un aussi magnifique environnement, tout en écoutant les oiseaux. N’hésitez pas a réserver cette maison magnifique. Nous avons tout apprécié : la superbe cour avec l’eau de la piscine a une agréable température et toujours très propre. Quelle belle surprise d’avoir un lave vaisselle dans la cuisine et de l’eau potable très bonne a boire. Les hôtes ont été très généreux de nous laisser du délicieux café local que nous avons pu déguster le matin. Nous avons pu observer des toucans, des singes et beaucoup de beaux oiseaux autour de la maison. Merci pour ce séjour parfait, on s’ennuie déjà!

Villa Laurel is an idyllic place to unwind after a hectic day of being a turista and would be a great home base for a family or multiple couples. Life doesn't get any better than relaxing by the pool with a cold drink, serenaded by the birds and cows, while watching the changing visage of Arenal volcano. On a practical side, if you feel like cooking to escape the high prices of the local restaurants, the kitchen is well-equipped with sufficient pots and pans and table service for 6. The dryer was so handy to dry damp bathing suits and beach towels that would never dry in the humid outdoor air. The bedrooms have a lot of storage and plenty of pillows, although I found both the beds and pillows on the firmer side. Each bedroom has a mini-split A/C for perfect sleeping conditions and there was a good cross breeze through the main rooms all day. The beautiful bathrooms have curbless showers with rain showerheads. We would love to return to Karina's house for a longer stay.

We absolutely loved it. An absolute gem and a fantastic host! Highly recommend this beautiful home.

This place was for the 5 of us. Heated pool, secluded enough from the busy La fortuna downtown but close enough to quickly drive to anything we needed. Karina was also super responsive to any question we had. Overall a great place to stay.

Our stay with our family of 5 at Villa Laurel was fantastic. The house and property look even better in person than the photos. Karina had a great suggestion for a local private chef, and was very fast to respond to our questions. The house and pool was spotless, and close to everything in the La Fortuna area. 5+ stars. Thank you!

Villa Laurel is the ideal accommodation for a holiday in la fortuna. Conveniently located, yet private in beautiful surroundings. It is also perfectly laid out. It's spacious and well equipped without generating clutter. Everything was simple and easy to use. It was perfect for our family with 9 month old twins. The view of the volcano from the living space and pool is one of a kind. You transcend into a state of relaxation immediately once you enter this sanctuary of peace.

The pictures don't do it justice. It is a beautiful place with a gorgeous view from the pool deck. Very comfortable furniture indoor and out. Pool was cleaned and maintained daily. Close to nature, particularly birds. All rooms were like new including beds and linens.  Local coffee and a little fruit was nice on entering as we didn't have time to shop before arriving.  There were some bulbs burned out, but wasn't a problem. A really fantastic place in all regards. We had activities planned as Karina couldn't provide any local guidance/recommendations other pointing us to a local tour company.
