Casa Stella • Jungle View Retreat - Villas for Rent in La Fortuna, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica

Daniel and the concierge staff were very responsive and kind. They booked 3 excursions for me and my family and the excursions were awesome. We really enjoyed them! The house was clean and there were plenty of beds for my family of 4 plus our nanny so that was very nice. HOWEVER, I will say the house is located very close to the main highway and the bar named Trippin' Fauna. We heard the music of the bar inside the house as well as all the traffic and cars on the highway WITH white noise machines turned up loud until 2:30AM every single night. We eventually became so sleep deprived that my whole family (4 year old, 3 year old, husband, and myself) got sick. We ended up leaving 2 days early to stay at a hotel because we felt so bad and were all so tired. SO if you like to party and stay up late, this is the house for you. IF NOT, I would advise against staying here.

Our stay here was enjoyable. Daniel and Alexa were great hosts and were very responsive throughout the whole process.  It was easy to locate the property, and the location is convenient to downtown and all other activities in La Fortuna.  There is road noise from traffic and a bar right across the street that plays loud music, so it is noisier than we would’ve liked. But the private pool, individual bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, large outdoor area, and many other amenities are all positives that far outweigh the negatives at this location.  Our family would definitely recommend staying here!

The stay was excellent, the house was very nice and spacious, and the service was superb.

la estancia estuvo excelente, la casa muy linda y amplia, la atención super

Our family of 5 with young kids really enjoyed this house. Loved the big pool and outdoor area. Super close to all the action in Fortuna and amazing view of the Volcano. Daniel was great with communication. Would stay here again!

Everything is as published. Very good location. Attitude and commitment to make the stay impeccable.

Todo de acuerdo a la publicación. Muy buena ubicación. Actitud y compromiso para que la estancia fuera impecable.

Awesome place and set up, very close to La Fortuna’s main strip and Arenal. So many exciting activities nearby for kids and adults. Great outside set up with a beautiful pool. Only thing to be aware of is the sound of vehicles on the main road during the night but we had white noise machines so it was fine!

Our stay was excellent. The house was very clean, well maintained and with all the amenities needed to feel comfortable. The location is very convenient and safe, ideal for resting and also for going out to see the surroundings. Communication with the host was clear and quick at all times, which made us feel calm and well taken care of. We certainly enjoyed our experience and recommend this place to future guests. Thank you so much for everything, we look forward to returning soon!

Nuestra estadía fue excelente. La casa estaba muy limpia, bien cuidada y con todos los servicios necesarios para sentirnos cómodos. La ubicación es muy conveniente y segura, ideal para descansar y también para salir a conocer los alrededores. La comunicación con el anfitrión fue clara y rápida en todo momento, lo que nos hizo sentir tranquilos y bien atendidos. Sin duda disfrutamos mucho nuestra experiencia y recomendamos este lugar a futuros huéspedes. ¡Muchas gracias por todo, esperamos volver pronto!

A fairly spacious house. The pool is very nice.

Una casa bastante amplia. La piscina es muy agradable.

Very cozy. Perfect for a group that looks for piece and wants to be near by the main La Fortuna’s activities. Extremely supportive host. Privileged Arenal’s view. The pool is also something else.

Recommended, a beautiful property, with a beautiful view. The hosts were very kind and helped us with everything instantly.

Recomendado, una hermosa propiedad , con hermosas vistas. Muy amables los anfitriones y nos ayudaron con todo al instante.

We arrived late, so the flexible check-in was a great option. However, the keypad malfunctioned, causing a difficult time getting inside. Alicia promptly provided a key once made aware. The house and outdoor space were beautiful, with an unexpected extra bathroom by the pool. The bedroom AC units worked well, though there were no closets or racks to store clothing. The fourth bedroom, accessed separately from outside, felt more like staff quarters than part of the main house, leading us to share rooms and undermining the purpose of booking four bedrooms. We also encountered insects and cockroaches—understandable in the jungle during the wet season but worth noting. Alicia was receptive to feedback on mitigating this. Despite these issues, the stay was pleasant. The location was excellent, with a restaurant across the street and downtown La Fortuna just 15 minutes away. The volcano views at sunrise and sunset were breathtaking, and the outdoor space offered ample amenities for everyone

Alicia's house was large enough for our family of 7 adults and well located for our 4 days in and around La Fortuna. We used the pool and appreciated Alicia's timely responses to a few minor issues when they arose. The view of the volcano was great - it would have been nice though, to not be greeted by a shipping container in the driveway, lol!

My friends and I stayed at Stela House and really enjoyed our stay. The property had everything you need; a safe and private place. We would definitely stay again. Many thanks to Alicia and her team. Best,

Mis amigos y yo nos hospedamos en Stela House y disfrutamos mucho de nuestra estadía. La propiedad contaba con todo lo necesario; lugar seguro y privado. Sin duda alguna nos hospedaríamos de nuevo. Muchas gracias a Alicia y su equipo. Saludos,

We loved it here. Don’t hesitate to book as you won’t regret it.

Check in was pretty rough. I was sent to a completely different house. So that was really an inconvenience after a long day of driving.. but I will say they were very responsive and were quick to answer any and all my questions. The place is nice out of town a little which is what I prefer. It is close to the main road and you can hear the road noise even at night. Pool was nice view was great. Clean everything you need.

Hi Ryan! Your reservation was always for a Stela House, and that's the house you stayed in. I don't know what your house confusion was or which one you're referring to. It would have been cleared up at the time if you'd let us know.

Beautiful house!!! My family and I had a spectacular weekend!!

Hermosa casa!!! Mi familia y yo pasamos un fin de semana espectacular!!

A few minor hiccups but Alicia was very responsive so any issues were solved quickly. The place is great for entertaining large groups by the pool.

Great location, 5 mins drive to town. The property was very large and had beautiful surroundings. All amenities were there and everything matched the description. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful stay close to Fortuna.

We had a great time visiting Costa Rica. I liked the location of the house as it was convenient to all the things we were doing. It was about 3 miles from town, which was perfect due to the hustle/bustle of the town. The beds were nice and the a/c, in the bedrooms, worked great. We enjoyed the swimming pool and all the avocado and papaya trees. We could hear the Howler Monkeys, in the distance and of course a great view of the volcano. I would highly recommend this house. Becky Robertson

What an amazing view of the Volcano Arenal from the pool. The house was very private and quiet  even though it was right off the main road. Very clean house. The kitchen had all the essentials to cook breakfast for five every morning. La Fortuna was a five minute drive away with grocery stores gas station and restaurants. We look forward to our next trip here.

House was nice and convenient to town. Road activity was loud throughout the night. But, we felt safe. We enjoyed the pool and the entire outdoor area.

Excellent place, the spectacular pool. Alicia addressed my questions super fast! Recommended!

Excelente lugar, la piscina espectacular. Alicia atendió mis preguntas super rápido! Recomendado!

All great, very close to downtown Fortune

Todo excelente, muy cerca del centro de la fortuna

Alicia and her team were very responsive to all our questions and needs even when we locked ourselves out by trying the key code too many times. She and her team arranged tickets for us to tours and gave us recommendations for places to eat. We liked the location because it was away from the main town and all the hustle and bustle. Translation was a very slight issue but we knew very little Spanish. We figured it was our problem not hers since we were a guest in her country. We had 3 young children and the house was perfect for all 8 of us. Views of Arenal were magnificent! We would book again.

Alicia was the perfect host and we loved the house we stayed in.  Alicia was attentive to our needs.  As an example, I asked a question about if there was a soccer ball to play with on the soccer field and within the hour we had a soccer ball that the kids enjoyed playing with.  Our family enjoyed the beautiful views of the Arenal Volcano that we had each day.  There was so much space for the kids to play inside and outside the house.  We had fun swimming as well.  We appreciated the fact that the house was close to La Fortuna, but not necessarily in the middle of everything going on.  We were still close to everything we needed at all times (grocery stores, restaurants, activities), but also had our own secluded area at the house.

Great house and grounds. Perfect place for a relaxing family or group trip. Very cozy.

My family and I had an amazing time at The Stella house. My kids played a lot in the pool and the shade area was a great place to drink coffee and read a book in the morning rain. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. The house was really close to El Tanque and made it easy to go in to get food and groceries.  My family and I would definitely consider this house again when we visit Costa Rica.

Very beautiful place! Great view to the volcano Arenal from the pool. Very good internet at any place of the area.

Very nice place, plenty of space to enjoy with family and friends. Thank you very much Alicia for being an excellent Host!

Muy lindo lugar, mucho espacio para disfrutar en familia y amigos. Muchas gracias Alicia por ser una excelente Host!

Stela House was amazing. It was everything we had hoped for, and more. We had one small hiccup with the bathroom sink, which was promptly fixed. We received recommendations consistent with our interests/requests.

Alicia’s place was the perfect spot for our large family! This house was clean, safe,  and the grounds were very beautiful! The pool is amazing with the backdrop of Arenal volcano. We walked to an amazing restaurant for dinner across the street. Alicia was very responsive and gave great advice about the area. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely visit again! Thank you!

Loved the location just outside of touristy downtown. The grounds were very nice with lots of fauna and birds visited daily. Outside : Pool, patio, chairs, hammock were the highlight of our stay here. Enjoyed coffee every morning on the patio and the shaded area and outdoor bathroom / shower were used daily. Lots of plastic cups, plates bowls to use outdoors on the patio.  I would definitely stay here again and recommend the place to others. Some small minor notes just to be aware of.  Only AC in the bedrooms which worked excellent. It was a big muggy on a few occasions in the dining and living room. Alicia did bring us over an additional portable fan which helped. I did find the cooking pans, pots to be outdated and definitely could have used some ice cube trays .  Just some minor things and definitely not a deal breaker.  Uber was easily accessible to anywhere. Alicia was very responsive and attentive to a few things we requested.   Definitely a great place to enjoy the outdoors.

It was amazing! Beautiful house very well hosted and everything was clean!

C’était incroyable! Belle Maison très bien accueilli et tout était propre !

Absolutely the best deal in La Fortuna. Sleeps 8, we had 4. Great spot close to town, but with country feel. The home is great. The pool area is Really Great. Sometimes photos on sites look larger, this represents accurately, except the pool area. Which is large enough to have a wedding reception! Very nice outdoor grill, fridge, bar. Alicia was very helpful. We were looking at hotels (2rms) which would have averaged at least 400/night. Book and you will not regret it. 😀

Absolutely Superb. We loved it. This property has everything. From cooking utensils to outside cooking appliances, laundry facilities and of course a great pool. The view of the Volcano is outstanding and probably the best view we got on the whole trip! When you have the view from your garden, you have the best chance of a clear view of the volcano as the cloud changes so quickly. We spent 5 days at the property without a car. There were 4 of us and we simply used Uber to get around (into La Fortuna and to the attractions). The longest we had to wait for an Uber was 8 minutes). There were 4 of us and it cost about CRC 2,300 (£3.50) to go into La Fortuna. The property was the best I have ever stayed in although you won’t spend much time in the house (which is massive) because the outside facilities are so good for cooking as well as the pool - oh and there is also a football pitch with goals! The laundry room was incredible. The whole place was just brilliant

Great place for a large group. Lots of space and the pool is perfect

This is a gem of a place! We’ve stayed all over the world in Airbnb’s, and this is one of our favorite! Super clean and the pool was incredible!! Alicia was spectacular to work with!

I recommend Alicia's house and above all the attention of her host! We had a little bump she came and she was immediately responsible, as well as advising us on avrivities in La Fortuna, which we loved! I would definitely stay again...

Recomiendo la casa de Alicia y sobretodo la atención de su anfitriona! Tuvimos un pequeño percance ella vino e inmediatamente se hizo responsable, además de aconsejarnos sobre avrividades en La Fortuna, la cual adoramos! Volvería a quedarme sin lugar a duda...

I can't say enough about Alicia & the other hosts.  I've stayed at a lot of Air B&Bs, and they were the most responsive ever.  Super fast, always fixed my issue right away, and so kind about everything (even when I accidentally didn't follow their instructions).  Brought us a soccer ball, and let the boys stay late and swim in their fabulous pool, and gave us fruit out of plants next to the house.  Felt like I was treated like family. The house was perfect for our needs (2 families of 4 each with teen boys).

We loved our stay at Alicia’s place. The view was amazing, we were close to town/lots of restaurants and all the activities that we wanted to do, and it was big enough for our large family. The pool was amazing on the hot days. Noise from the road was a bit loud at times but it still felt very private and was not a bother. There was AC in the bedrooms but not in the rest of the house. This was fine, just not something we were used to. We would definitely book again. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and gave a lot of great suggestions. Definitely felt like it was worth the $$ we paid.

excellent place, very good communication with hosts, it's a beautiful place

excelente lugar, muy buena comunicación con los anfitriones, en fin es un lugar precioso

What a delightful house! The photos online do not do it justice. It was much more beautiful in person. The hosts are very fast to respond and kind and helpful. We stayed here with 3 families comfortably. It rained most of the time but the pool and space made it easy to still enjoy. I was a little apprehensive staying right off the highway, but it feels private and the location gives it easy access to everything. The restaurant across the street was super tasty as well. The only thing to note is the extra bedroom with 1 bunk bed and 1 double is outside and you need a key to get in every time as it automatically locks behind you. It's likely best suited for teenagers or adults who want a bit of privacy.

Very nice place. For some inside may feel dated. Alicia is an awesome host. We loved  the outside bathroom next to pool and outside play area with soccer ball. Our kids had blast playing. Ask Alicia if you need domestic help during the stay. We really liked clean kitchen and everything.

Great place to stay, just outside of town but close enough to everything. Alicia was very quick to respond to any questions. The pool was always clean and our kids loved the soccer field. Peaceful outdoor living spaces

we loved staying at Alicia's place. Adrian was alwaysavailable to answer questions, help us book things to do and take care of any of our needs. We highly recommend this Airbnb.

Everything was excellent, very nice, tidy and easily accessible  . 100% recommended

Excelente todo muy lindo ordenado y fácil acceso  . 100% recomendado

Great home and pool.. middle of the farm land.  only watch out is noise and privacy.  The lot is shared so you get occasional stranger traffic.   Great host and friendly people.

This place was great for our large family. Lots of room to sprawl out and play in the yard, pool etc. House was nicely appointed and comfortable. We founds sloths in the trees a short 5 minute walk from the house and town and all the activities are a short drive, tolerable for kids from 1- 14 we had with our group. We would recommend and stay again. They also helped arrange all of our activities for the best price. The place and the host are great.

Enjoyed our stay. Great location a couple minutes outside La Fortuna. Very  nice and modern house. Beautiful pool and outside area. Would stay again!

Great location and very helpful hosts. 5 stars.

Great house, the view was amazing and looks even better than the picture. Pool was fantastic and very private, we didn't see any neighbors. House is 3km East of La Fortuna which has everything you need and most of the attractions were less than 20mn drive away. There is a great Peruvian restaurant right across the street which I highly recommend. I highly recommend a car. Host was great with recommendations and discounts to tours, he also set us up with a rental car and shuttle service to airport. House was about 2.5 hours from SJO airport and the ride is very curvy so bring some Dramamine. Pros - Amazing view, new pool, friendly and helpful host, great location, fully equipped kitchen, safe area Cons - On a Hwy that can be noisy with trucks, 4th bedroom is outside house, must have a car to get around. Overall, great house, would highly recommend.

Casa genial para un descanso de la cuidad

Lovely hosts! We needed a place very last minute and they were so quick to respond and get us checked in. Came out to help us with the laundry when we needed, and gave us lots of restaurant recommendations. Outdoor space is really lovely and the pool is great!

We did not stay in. We booked another one. Nice host.
