Toucan River Paradise - River Access, A/C, WiFi - Houses for Rent in La Fortuna, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

We had a lovely week stay at Toucan River Paradise. The yard, patio, outdoor space is spectacular as many others have described. We were only inside to sleep all week! Very relaxing when home from excursions. The area felt safe. 4 minute walk to a really good little outdoor pizzeria (Pizzeria de la Sari) and a small market that had anything we needed. We did not have a rental car and never had trouble getting an Uber to anywhere we wanted go in the La Fortuna/Arenal area. The host was also very helpful and responsive to questions. I highly recommend this little gem of a house and location!

Thank you so much for the exquisite Kari. The features of the house you immaculately described are what we have strive to provide or guests. We will continuously keep improving so the house will be better than what the pictures or words can describe.

A nice house to stay in. And a very nice garden and seating area. The river was wonderful, but beware of the current. The river was clearly audible at the house. The faucet broke during our stay. This was fixed as quickly as possible. The communication was good.

Een mooi huis om in te verblijven. En een hele mooie tuin en zitruimte. De rivier was heerlijk maar pas wel op met de stroming. Rivier was duidelijk te horen bij het huis. De kraan ging kapot tijdens ons verblijf. Dit werd zo snel als kon verholpen. De communicatie was goed.

The place is beautiful, and access to the river is an extra that gives it a feeling of total naturalness. The gardens are wonderful and well maintained. Comfortable and quiet.

El lugar es precioso, el acceso al río es un extra que le da una sensación de naturales total. Los jardines maravillosos y bien cuidado. Cómodo y tranquilo.

This place had amazing location with stunning courtyard on the river. Suren was very responsive and supportive during the trip. It is a great location near lafortuna and easy to get to all of the amazing adventures nearby. I felt the value was amazing too!

Recommended to stay when exploring the La Fortuna area… 15-30 minutes from the main attractions. Pizza restaurant and shop in the street… Beautiful garden where fauna and flora prevail. Everything is available... We loved it!!!

Aanrader om te verblijven wanneer je de buurt van la fortuna verkent… 15-30 min van de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden. Pizzarestaurant en winkel in de straat… Prachttuin waar fauna en flora zegevieren. alles aanwezig… we vonden het geweldig!!!

We are happy to hear you loved your stay.

Our family (two adults, three teenagers) loved our stay at Toucan River. The house is super cute, clean, and well-equipped. The lush garden with the small outdoor lounge is absolutely charming, and what can I say about the direct access to the river from the garden? Wow! A really nice location, within a reasonable driving distance of all activities near La Fortuna. We highly recommend it!

Notre famille (deux adultes, trois adolescents) a adoré notre séjour au Toucan River. La maison est super mignonne, propre et bien équipée, le jardin luxuriant avec le petit salon extérieur, tout à fait charmant, et que dire de l’accès à la rivière directement à partir du jardin, wow! Vraiment bel emplacement, à distance raisonnable en voiture de toutes les activités près de la Fortuna. Nous recommandons chaudement!

It really is a paradise. The house is exactly as described and shown in the photos, and it's even more beautiful when you enter. It's all lined with wood, feels very cozy, and everything works perfectly. It has an area in the courtyard with hammocks, tables and chairs that is perfect for breakfast outdoors, or for going out at night to listen to the river. It's wonderful. The vegetation has cocoa trees, and at the end of the courtyard you can go down some stairs and reach the river, which is very nice. It is also very safe since it has locks and latches that make you feel protected at all times. Close to all tourist attractions. Totally recommended

En verdad es un paraíso, la casa es tal cual la descripción y las fotografías, aun mas bonita cuando entras en ella, toda esta forrada de madera, se siente muy acogedora, todo funciona perfectamente. Tiene una zona en el patio con hamacas mesas y sillas que es perfecto para desayunar al aire libre, o en la noche salir a escuchar el rio. Es maravillosa la vegetación tiene arboles de cacao y al final del patio puedes bajar unas escaleras y llegas al rio que es muy bonito. También es muy segura ya que tiene candados y cerraduras con los que te sientes protegido en todo momento. Cerca de todas las atracciones turísticas. Totalmente recomendable

A small group of us stayed at this location. Everything was as described. It was a great quiet location with easy access to the things we wanted to do in the area. Unfortunately the tropical storm prevented us from enjoying the river, but it had clear instructions and access was pretty easy to understand. Families can rest assured that everything was locked or fenced well enough for young kids. Bathroom is outside, but it seems to be pretty normal here. Beds were comfy with plenty of extra blankets and towels.  Having a washer/dryer was nice. We ended up using the drying rack and were able to have clothes dry overnight easily with fan on it. Highly recommend location. Host was also very responsive.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write up the awesome review. we are glad that you all had great fun.  it was unfortunate that you all didn't get to enjoy the River because of the storms. Hopefully if you visit again you will be.

The waterfall and the backyard was refreshingly different and a treat in itself.

What a wonderful place!! We loved our stay! The place is quiet and clean, the outdoor veranda is so nice, and the hosts were great.

Quel magnifique endroit!! Nous avons adoré notre séjour! L’endroit est calme, propre, la véranda extérieure est tellement agréable et les hôtes étaient super.

Beautifully landscaped yard!  Great location.  We got to swim in the river, which looked like a movie set of a tropical paradise

Unbelievable setting. There is the most beautiful river running through the backyard. Perfect for our needs.

We loved staying at this home! Beautiful home with amazing back yard!

Thank you Megan for your awesome review and  comments.

This location was more beautiful in person than in the photos!! For a group of four, this was the perfect location to stay. The home was well stocked with kitchen necessities and linens, and the water pressure in the shower was AMAZING!! The home also felt very safe. My husband and I walked to the local shop at night with no issues. I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay! We spent a lot of time on the patio enjoying all the fauna and flora! We saw tons of hummingbirds and strawberry dart frogs. Our dogs enjoyed their stay as well as this was a pet friendly stay. Everything was clean, orderly, and comfortable. The river in the back was gorgeous! You really feel apart of the jungle while you’re at this place! I highly recommend to all.

Oh thank you so much for staying with us and for your understand and lovely comments

Staying at Toucan River Paradise was wonderful! It is an absolutely beautiful home and backyard, and the river access was incredible. It is decorated so beautifully! It was slightly difficult to find, was a little farther from downtown La Fortuna than we expected, and the road noise was noticeable and disruptive at times, but other than that, it was an overall wonderful stay. It was great to come home to after busy/tiring days. I’d thoroughly recommend it, especially for larger groups!

Thank you so much for your review Carolina.

We had an exceptional stay, beyond our expectations. The host is very generous, the place is impeccable, and the backyard is amazing. We loved spending time in the river with the kids. Everything was perfect.

Nous avons passé un séjour exceptionnel, au-delà de nos attentes. L’hôte est très généreux, les lieux sont impeccable, et la cour arrière est incroyable. Nous avons adoré passer du temps dans la rivière avec les enfants. Tout était parfait.

Beautiful backyard and amenities that made it a wonderful place to stay! close to the main town, would definitely highly recommend and come back to stay here!

Amazing place with the perfect location. The river  in the back of the house is 10 stars.

Oh my.  What an awesome review. It was a pleasure hosting you all.

Beautiful stay! Great for families be careful going down to the river but what an amazing experience when you do! Close to everything and secluded enough to wind down! We’ve been in Costa Rica for a month and I thought I had to sacrifice a pressure built shower but his showers are amazing! Little things make the perfect stay! Keep your eyes out blue Jean frogs everywhere look but don’t touch! 🐸 thanks so much for this amazing stay!  Would stay again!

Thank you so much for the amazing review.

We stayed at Suren's place for five nights with our two children, aged 6 and 1½. We all felt very comfortable right away; it was truly a little paradise for us. There was so much to discover, and we made extensive use of everything. Swimming in the stream was a great adventure for us. We lacked nothing. Suren always responded quickly. We would come back anytime. Thank you for everything, Suren! Pura Vida

Wir waren mit unseren zwei Kindern, 6 und 1 1/2 Jahren, für fünf Nächte in Surens Unterkunft. Wr haben uns alle direkt sehr wohl gefühlt, es ist wahrhaftig für uns ein kleines Paradies gewesen. Es gab sehr viel zu entdecken und wir haben alles ausgiebig genutzt. Das Baden im Bach war für uns ein großes Abenteuer. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Suren hat immer schnell geantwortet. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Danke für alles Suren! Pura Vida

wow what an awesome review! Thank you so much Mo. we are super happy that you and family had a superb time at the paradise.

Suren's place was just as advertised. A perfect landing for our adventures in and around La Fortuna. The backyard was stunning and the proximity to the river was amazing. We would definitely recommend this property as your anchor point for Costa Rican explorations!

access to the river was wonderful. theres a little spot in the river that works as a natural bubble bath. so fun!

Good housing and a jungle experience with the backyard garden and river access. Stay is in a small quiet town too. We loved this stay and will definitely come again when we are in the area.

This was the perfect Airbnb for my wife and I. The atmosphere that has been built in the backyard was surreal. Besides some hair we found in the shower when we arrived everything was awesome and had exactly what we needed. It’s also located in a great spot.

An amazing start to our Costa Rican adventures. The river was so beautiful and it felt like a tropical escape. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

This place is amazing! Beautiful, private, clean, with comfortable beds, great location, and a gorgeous outdoor area. We saw crested basilisks and little red and blue frogs in the yard everyday. The river area is very cool and we loved sitting on the porch for breakfast and at night.

wow,  amazing,  you all have seen a lot of wild life and enjoyed your stay to the most.  Thank you for the awesome review 🙏

This was the Costa Rican VibeI was looking for!  My favorite part was the outdoor space. There is even a hummingbird that lives in one of the trees right by the porch that comes and says hello while having coffee in the morning.  I loved being right on the river. So peaceful. I felt very safe and right at home. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Oh such a lovely review. Thank you so much Somer for taking the time to write such an awesome review.  I didn't even know about the hummingbird that lived in the front of the house.  That must have been so surreal.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Suren's place! We loved the backyard/ranch where our kids enjoyed exploring the river, watching birds, and eating dinner outside during a rainstorm. Unique place to stay with enough space for our family of four. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the awesome reconnected Need and taking the time to write about your family's experience.

Suren was a great host! Very responsive and helpful. We loved the house and the back yard & river access. It was a peaceful outdoor oasis. We enjoyed having coffee in the backyard overlooking the river and you could hear the howler monkeys. Amazing

Thank you so much for the absolutely stunning review Sarah. I didn't know there were howler monkeys I the back yard and jungle. Sloths have been spotted and photographed in the back yard.  Thank you so much for staying with us.

it was very easy to communicate with the host!! the house was very beautiful and so clean! the kitchen had everything. coffee, tea, water, spices. the house was  decorated beautifully amd it was cozy. the back yard is like a paradise soon much beautiful plants, and a patio where we hung out at was gorgeous!! the ladder leading down to the river was very red y cool! and they ahd a washer and dryer! we are very happy that we found this place, and wish we could stay longer!  if we ever come back we'd come back here! the house is a little close to the road so you can hear the cars, but the house is so wonderful  it did not bother us at all!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write up this detailed review. we really appreciate it.

This Airbnb was amazing. You’ll be surprised to see the pictures don’t do it justice. There is a super market and pizzeria within walking distance, although we didn’t get to try the pizza. Access to the river behind is a unique amenity that is definitely worth it. If you like to chill at your Airbnb after a day out, you’ll love this place.

What am amazing review.. Thank you so much for staying with us enjoying the true paradise Vladimir.

We had two nights in this amazing house. 
Everything lived up to expectations and more! The backyard is a wonderful oasis and the river in the backyard was quite unique. We managed to have several baths in the refreshing river. 
Nice rooms with good beds and the kitchen had everything you needed. Nice that there was a small supermarket within walking distance of the house. 
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Vi havde to nætter i dette fantastiske hus. Alt levede helt op til forventningerne og mere til! Baghaven er en fantastisk oase og floden i baghaven var helt unik. Vi nåede at have flere badeture i den forfriskende flod. Fine værelser med gode senge og køkkenet havde alt hvad man skulle bruge. Dejligt at der var et lille supermarked i gåafstand fra huset. Tak for et skønt ophold!

we are delighted to hear your extremely positive remarks and comments.  This is exactly what we work very hard to achieve. Please do come visit is again if opportunities arise.

Fantastic accommodation with a beautiful garden and in-house stream. The place was very clean. The kitchen in particular was really exceptionally well equipped. We felt very comfortable

Traumhafte Unterkunft mit wunderschönem Garten und hauseigenen Bach. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber. Insbesondere die Küche war wirklich außergewöhnlich gut ausgestattet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt

Great place. Great location near La Fortuna. The river was very special and the neighborhood was quiet.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review and glad that you all enjoyed your stay.

My family had a great time and we felt very comfortable during the weekend we spent here.
We really liked the ranch in the back surrounded by lots of vegetation. Perfect for relaxing listening to the river, eating and sharing drinks and board games. We took full advantage of it.
Access to the river is a plus, you have to go down carefully but few places have something like this.
The place was very clean, smelled good and had a nice atmosphere. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was generally clean and in perfect condition.
The location of the place is good since it is about 15 minutes from La Fortuna.
Suren maintained excellent communication, sent us a series of check-in and check-out instructions, which made the experience the best.

Mi familia la pasó muy bien y nos sentimos muy cómodos durante el fin de semana que pasamos aquí. Nos gustó mucho el rancho que hay atrás rodeado de mucha vegetación. Perfecto para relajarse escuchando el rio, comer y compartir bebidas y juegos de mesa. Lo aprovechamos mucho. El acceso al rio es un plus, hay que bajar con cuidado pero pocos lugares tienen algo así. El lugar estaba muy limpio, olía bien y tenía un ambiente agradable. La cocina estaba bien equipada y el baño en general limpio y en perfecto estado. La ubicación del lugar es buena puesto que está a unos 15 min de la Fortuna. Suren mantuvo excelente comunicación, nos mandó una serie de instrucciones de entrada y salida, que hicieron que la experiencia fuese la mejor.

Thank you so much for the wonderful connects Steven! Glad you all really enjoyed your stay

The house is a paradise. The space of dreams with good taste, an unbeatable environment, several cafes and everything impeccable. Very comfortable. The quincho is beautiful and everything was comfortable and perfect. It is 10km from the center, which for me is a plus because I don't like noise or a lot of people. The area seemed safe, we walked to the supermarkets and there was a pizzeria next door. We read until dawn in the quincho, the rooms are super comfortable. The shower is great. The kitchen is super complete, sheets, towels, quilting, everything is impeccable. Great and easy to use washer and dryer. They left you soap. The house is very well decorated. The setting was amazing, all the windows overlooked dreamy landscapes. Very well-kept property. We were able to get the car in. It has stairs to go down to the river that are fabulous. We bathed in that river and went back to the house. A river where we were alone with my family! The truth, an unforgettable and highly recommended experience.

La casa es un paraíso. El espacio de los sueños con buen gusto, un entorno inmejorable, cafés varios y todo impecable. Muy cómoda. El quincho es hermoso y todo fue cómodo y perfecto. Queda a 10km del centro lo que para mí es un valor porque no me gusta el ruido ni mucha gente. La zona parecía segura, fuimos caminando al supermercados y había una pizzería al lado. Leímos hasta la madrugada en el quincho, las habitaciones super cómodas. La ducha muy bien. La cocina super completa, sábanas,  toallas, acolchado, todo impecable. Lavarropas y secarropas genial y fácil de usar. Te dejaban jabón. Muy bien decorada la casa. El entorno era increíble, todas las ventanas daban a paisajes de ensueño. Muy bien cuidada la finca. Pudimos entrar el auto. Tiene unas escaleras para bajar al Río que son de cuento. Nos bañamos en ese río y volvimos a la casa. Un río donde estábamos solos con mi familia! La verdad, una experiencia inolvidable y super recomendable.

Wow,  what am amazingly beautiful review.  Thank you so much for taking the time for this.  Your review encapsulates everything that this paradise has to offer. Please come visit is again. Thank you so much 🙏

Beautiful house with such a lush garden and a private river. The house is very clean and very well decorated! We felt very good there! I recommend it 👍

Superbe maison avec un jardin si luxuriant et une rivière privée. La maison est très propre et très bien décoré ! Nous nous y sommes sentis très bien ! Je recommande 👍

Thank you so very much for your awesome review.  Please come visit the paradise again.

This place was amazing beautiful spot with the river none like it! The host was very helpful with little questions and responded in a timely manner 10/10

Thank you so much Tim for taking the time to write this awesome review. we are elated that you all has a great time at the Toucan River Paradise.

Such a beautiful location! The outdoor area was incredible! If you’re looking for a little slice of paradise, this is it. The photos of the space are a correct depiction of the home. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend and will plan a return trip.

Super amazing place right next to river. outdoor area was so beautiful and inviting . Beds very comfortable and clean throughout the home. Very responsive and easy to check in /out. Great price for everything offered. it's just outside of downtown that offers quiet and peaceful space. I totally recommend this place. lots of beautiful personal touch that make you feel at home

Wow what a lovely reflection of your stay. We are glad that you all had a great time. Thanks you so much for staying with us.  Please come visit us when you can.

My family of four really enjoyed our stay at Toucan River Paradise! We kindly asked Suren if there was any chance we could check in a bit sooner as we were travelling overnight with two young kids and they were kind enough to accommodate us in that manner. We actually got there just as Iliana was finishing up and she let us stay while she did her thing which was very kind of her. 
My kids absolutely loved the place! The backyard is amazing with the river access. My husband sure enjoyed the hammock and it was so soothing listening to the river. 
We felt secure and we loved that the house was located outside of La Fortuna but still an easy distance to get where we needed to go. We used the grocery store and the pizza place just down the street which was convenient. 
We would not hesitate to stay at Toucan River Paradise again and would highly recommend staying here!

what an absolutely astonishing review highlighting many things that we stand for and highlighting why it is truly a  little piece of paradise. Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your family's experiences.  Please give is a shout if your are in this part of the world again.

Suren, was a great host. The place was exactly how it was listed, even better than I could have imagined. I mentioned it was my fiends birthday and they were so kind to hang a banner, balloons and give her a gift of cookies, very thoughtful and much appreciated! I would definitely recommend the Tuscan Paradise and certainly will stay again!

Your response brings so much happiness to us.  We strive to be the best hosts all the time. There is nothing more important to us than to see the joy and satisfaction that our guests get with our hospitality. Safe travels and please do visit us again ❤️

Beautiful backyard oasis with the sounds of the river below and a nice patio area hammock

Thank you so much for the wonderful review Eric. we are very happy that you all loved the backyard area.

this is a wonderful place! If it is available, I highly suggest you book it. We stayed here for a week with my family of five. It is a well appointed oasis and suited us well. It was very clean, and the host was responsive and helpful. The house is well equipped, we especially were glad to have the dryer to dry our clothes after washing.

The gardens in the backyard are even better than the beautiful pictures. It’s close to La Fortuna (10 min), but you will want a rental car. 

There are two restaurants & a grocery store nearby, they are all great. I recommend eating at nearby El Fogon de Chela during your stay.

It also felt very safe and secure. We would love to come back.

Oh such an awesome. Review. Thank you so much for highlighting your experience.

My family of four really enjoyed Suren’s home, it was comfortable and clean and has the most amazing outdoor space! I could have spent all day sitting out there with the sound of the rushing river in my ears.  The house had everything we needed and was easy to drive to and from when touristing around La Fortuna, it was convenient and nice to stay outside of the hustle and bustle of La fortuna. I would definitely stay again!

Thank you so much Katie for highlighting your experience and staying with us.

Fantastic accommodation- we loved the relaxing in the back yard and swimming in the creek- so beautiful. Thanks !

Thank you so much for the awesome review and staying with us.

What a beautiful location and home. We spent six days here and it was serene and private, yet still close enough to the town. Suren was extremely helpful and responded quickly to any questions. The home was clean and well stocked with everything we needed plus extra backups in the event we ran out (paper towels, laundry detergent, trash bags). There is a small grocery store and a few restaurants within walking distance which made it convenient and more enjoyable. If we ever come back to the area, we will be staying here again!!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.  This is exactly what we strive to offer to all our guests. Please do visit us again.
