Nor will your families, your friends or your associates, wedding party/guests, retreat members etc. Why? Because it is amazing. Built originally for an aristocrat in the classic style of three buildings in the form of a “C” around a central courtyard and garden, it now closed in to create one large building and is nestled into its own, five acre garden featuring numerous reading nooks under the shadows of palm trees and hundred foot high figs trees, endless beds of bird of paradise, ginger and other flowers and featuring guanabana, banana, starfruit, mango, avocado, papaya and other fruit trees as well. There are SEVEN bedrooms which sleep up to 21 people. Plus four bathrooms. The former courtyard and garden have been completely closed in, covered and air conditioned to create a Great Room that is TRULY great. My first house would have fit comfortably in this one room… TWICE! There are individual temperature controls for each room, Smart TV’s throughout, brand new gym equipment, the furniture is custom designed by me and made by hand from locally grown cedar, there is even a POOL TABLE that has recently been re-covered. The nearest neighbors are nearly half a mile away, but there is 24-hr ON-SITE STAFF to provide security, and extra services upon request like daily cleaning, (including the kitchen for all you chefs out there! ;-) even daily linen service. From the outdoor breakfast area to the STUNNING POOL AREA to the newly installed BEACH VOLLEYBALL pit, this property simply wouldn’t or couldn’t be built today for rent at this absurdly low price. The closest comparisons cost SEVERAL TIMES MORE than this delightful, lush paradise costs. The property is new on the market and a very proud addition to our portfolio of rental properties.

Fortuna's Best Peacock Country Estate - Villas for Rent in Mirador, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

The home was stunning. But we weren’t able to enjoy it bc of the lack of professionalism/poor judgment of host. We arrived to him hosting a party in the yard of our private rental.  At 11:30pm my son was watching TV and saw 3 people peering in the house through glass doors. My husband ran out to find them-they were drunk and hiding and said they were friends of host. We messaged host -no reply. Two hours later,we were awoken by loud music playing. we messaged again. There was no reply for 2.5 days even though he was on property. We were able to locate another owner in Canada. He tried to help but couldn’t get on site host  to reply either.  48 hours of no reply and then a message of sorry  for the inconvenience. We never saw him again.  No explanation.  There was a trailor on property where the music came from- it wasn’t noted on Airbnb and he never replied who was living in it.  We felt unsafe and uncomfortable. And were refused any money back by owners.  Awful experience

Loved this Airbnb! Gorgeous! Perfect!  Great location.  The host was very helpful.  Good communication.

The property is beautiful!  This home worked great for our group of 13, which included 7 teenagers.  There was plenty of room for everyone.  Location was perfect for visiting La Fortuna and the surrounding area!  Would highly recommend for a large family or group looking to near La Fortuna.

Group of 14 Never get like we were on top of each other Beautiful property Easy to communicate with William, Laura and Christian Christian was amazing at getting things done on sight very quickly and was very friendly to deal with as well.

Great place to stay for a large group! Very helpful for booking tours and recommendations! Very close to La Fortuna! We would definitely stay again!

We had an amazing stay at this property! Our group was quite large—16 people in total (9 adults and 7 kids)—and the home accommodated us comfortably. The property itself is beautiful, and the pool was definitely one of the highlights. Everyone in our group, especially the kids, spent a lot of time enjoying it. Cristian, the property manager, was fantastic. He was always easy to reach and responded quickly whenever we had a question or needed anything during our stay. I also have to give a huge thank you to Laura and William. They were absolute lifesavers and went above and beyond to help me organize excursions and transportation for all 16 of us. Coordinating a group that size can be challenging, and their help made everything so much easier. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this property. You won’t regret booking it!

Our group of 9 had a great time at the Peacock House. Plenty of space and activities. We did have an issue with an a/c unit not working and it took a few days to repair. They provided us with an adjacent room to use to make up for the trouble. The place is a little dated but that was fine for us. Also, it would have been helpful to know that you need to bring your own volleyball, soccer and pool floats if you want to do those activities. Hazel, the staff member on site that helped us, was amazing.

This was a terrific place to stay.  Beautiful surroundings.  Everything was wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay.  The tours that were suggested that we went on were beyond our expectations.  We went on the safari float, the bird and animal tour, the Pure Trek canyoning adventure, ASIS animal rescue, the Mistico Hanging Bridges, Coffee and Chocolate tour, Kayaking, ATV tour, and some of us went tothe hot springs.  All the tour guides were friendly and helpful with loads of knowledge.  We appreciated all the help we got when we had to change our tours around.  We had the time of our lives.

We had a great time !! the house is close to all the different activities of the La Fortuna area, the volcano, the zip lining, the thermal waters, the waterfall, etc. At the same time it is very private and quiet. Christian was a great helping us in the organizing of activities and understanding the area. This house has many outdoor areas like a futbol field, a volleyball court and my grandkids' favorite, the small river where they had so much fun! Thank you very much for these lovely days.

Beautiful home and helpful, responsive hosts! Helped our family with the trip of a lifetime!

It was our pleasure to help with coordinating transportation, activities and meals for your family trip. We love to assist our guests with making the most of their time at the property and in La Fortuna. Thank you again for staying with us! :)

Very clean and beautiful house, just like in the photos, perfect service, incredible place

Muy limpia y hermosa la casa igual que en las fotos la atención perfecta increíble lugar

Gracias por sus amables palabras y por compartir que las fotos de la propiedad capturan fielmente su aspecto en persona. ¡Gracias por hospedarse con nosotros!

We had a really great time staying at Peacock Country Estate. It was very helpful that they were able to book and manage tours/excursions for us, saved a great deal of time. The house was perfect for what we were looking for!

Thank you for staying with us, Christopher! It was a pleasure to host your group and to help with all the arrangements during your stay :-)

We enjoyed our stay at the property. The home is very spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor amenities. The beds were comfortable and effective AC in each room. The pool, volleyball area, and soccer field were great and well used by the kids. The river was interesting, though farther and harder to reach than we anticipated. The property is quite large, but as others have commented there seems to be a lot of work being done on it. While spacious - privacy was limited by workers being present somewhere on the property each day. That said, they did steer clear as best they could and interruption to our vacation was limited to a couple of days of excessive noise - which was stopped when we raised the issue. There’s a small store/gas station nearby which proved great for essentials and last minute needs. We took up the offer of arranged dinners for 8 nights and couldn’t be happier. Delicious food, on schedule, no prep or cleanup. Amazing! The chocolate cafe/tour next door is a must visit!

We had a great family vacation at this beautiful property.  The setup is ideal as the great room is large enough for everyone to spend lots of quality time together.  There's a pool table, large TV and lots of seating.  The location worked well for us and was about 15 to 20 minutes from most of the activities we decided upon (which William and Laura helped arrange).  I would highly recommend William and Laura's place for a get together with a large group.

Thanks for your review. We enjoyed hosting your wonderful family. We are glad you like the property with the spacious living room and the amenities. Thanks for staying with us!

For the price paid, it was absolutely not worth it. There was no laundry facilities inside the house, kitchen was very outdated and no shampoo. For 6 bedrooms, only 4 bathrooms were available, and one of them was in the master’s. We stayed at 5 different AirBbs and 2 hotels on this trip, this was the most expensive and outdated place.

We're both surprised and confused by this review. She complains about there "only" being 4 bathrooms, yet that is what's described in the listing. It's as if she expected to rent an estate advertising 4 bathrooms, but for there to actually be 7 when she arrived; it makes no sense. If she felt that 4 were not enough for her group then we would have encouraged her to book elsewhere. Regarding the property being "dated" it is clearly described as being a classic estate repurposed for large group stays. It has multiple new amenities such as modern appliances and new granite countertops, a new pool, individual temperature controlled AC in each room, a volleyball court, helicopter access, soccer field and private river access with a gazebo, gym, on-site staff and laundry service, (the listing clearly says laundry service, not laundry facilities which we have tried in the past but can't offer because guests kept ruining the machines by throwing shoes into them,) but it is clearly a former gentleman's estate more than 100 years old.  Everything is as described, this is the first time in 15 years that we've ever been criticized for actually being accurate in our description! :) We suspect that she wrote this review about another property and made an error if for no other reason than that there are 7 bedrooms, not 6. It is very unfortunate that Airbnb won't take this review down even though it violates the review guidelines by being inaccurate about the facilities and therefore misleading. We encourage you to refer to the 90 other reviews for a more accurate understanding of Peacock Estate and its charms. We hope to host you soon! :)

We had a great time in the area & this location was close enough to La Fortuna for an easy drive but far enough away to not be super busy traffic. I recommend taking a chocolate making tour at Eden next door. We really enjoyed that! Annia's Empanadas down the road were AMAZING. The house space was large enough for our big family & has lots of amenities. The kids really enjoyed the volleyball court & swimming pool. We had a great time there as a family. The things I would say weren't A+ are a few maintenance issues & the random people who show up to the house on the front of the property. It's a little weird looking out of the front & seeing random people coming & going & parking in the driveway spots when you are staying at a home. There was a roof leak over the night stand in the room we stayed in & it messed up my husband's phone & the tv remote in the room during the frequent rains. We didn't know of the leak until after we woke up to the puddle, sadly. Overall great stay, recommend

“Peacock County Estates” is a really beautiful property with a lot of surrounding open grounds & lush green gardens. You get a very peaceful feeling when you stay here. The landscaping is very beautiful, it was a perfect size villa for a our large family of 22 people. William & Laura were very helpful & honoured some of our requests quickly.

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and the gardens. Thanks for staying with us!

Great location.  Short scenic drive to town.  Place was beautiful and perfect for our large family. Beds were comfortable.  Felt safe in gated location.

We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the comfortable beds and beautiful location. Thanks for staying with us; we look forward to hosting you again :)

We liked the layout of the house. Pool was great. Great location for volcano and La Fortuna. Enjoyed the excursions.

This 7 bedroom house is great for large groups and multi-generational families. It was a pleasure to host your family :)

Couldn’t have asked for a better stay at the peacock estate. Hosts are extremely responsive and there to help you with your entire vacation. The property itself is very fun, we spent a lot of time at the volleyball court and pool. Spacious with plenty of beds, and comfortable with cooling. It’s around 10 minutes outside of La Fortuna, so outside of the cafe nearby not much in walking distance. This wasn’t a problem for us as we rented cars from the Alama in town (highly recommend).

Great Home, with everything you need for a fantastic stay! Host was very welcoming and responsive to all queries. I would definitely recommend this home for your next stay.

We loved the pool, the great room, exercise equipment and landscaping.  Beautiful area.

We had a wonderful stay here ! The huge property, pool, and river access were a big hit for our group (7 kids, 6 adults) The house had tons of space, we really enjoyed the common areas especially the pool table. The AC in the house was very comfortable and strong. The house is close to La Fortuna town, about 10 minutes- was easy to get into town and out and about in our rental car. Laura and William were super responsive and helpful with biking activities and excursions before and during our stay. Much appreciated! Our only suggestions would be a little updating (floor tiles cracked) in the kitchen and some more intense cleaning of the bedroom curtains. Thank you for a wonderful time at your lovely home!

We enjoyed our stay. The pool was nice. The river behind the house was great for the kids to explore. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The gated home is great with little children running around. Some of the rooms stayed warm even with the air conditioner blowing cool, but the room was larger so I’m sure that was the reason. Pay attention to the contract and the directions they give you in the email. The pinned location on the app takes you about half an hour past the property. They tell you this, so it’s entirely on me for not remembering. The house over all is nice. It’s in a good location if you have a rental car. It’s seems dated a bit and maybe some maintenance could be done. The water in the showers didn’t drain well and there isn’t much ventilation. With that being said set your expectations realistically and just do your research. It’s the jungle so I’m sure bug droppings is a normal occurrence but not pleasant. Something is living in the roof, so you’ll hear it.

William and Laura were super helpful throughout the entire process! The house was beautiful and perfectly structured for our group of 8. Room to relax along with an ideal team gathering space. They also helped arrange all relevant food and activities, which made it much easier to just relax and have fun.

We enjoyed hosting you and your colleagues. We were happy to coordinate all of your transportation, activities and meal services so that you could have a relaxing trip.

We were a group of 16 (8 adults and 8 children). Our stay was great! William and Laura were very responsive and patient while answering all of our questions. They arranged an ATV tour with Arenal ATV Wheels followed by an afternoon at Baldi Hot Springs as well as transportation back to Alajuela for us, all of which went smoothly! Ubers into La Fortuna were easy for getting dinner. The only reason we deducted a star (and would have preferred to only deduct a half star) was because the place is a bit dated. That being said, we found it reasonable for the price paid!

Thanks for your review Tammy! We are glad you found the property to be a good value. We are always happy to answer questions and assist with arranging tours and transportation with our trusted service providers. We look forward to hosting you next time :)

There were few places in La Fortuna area for our group of 10 adults. I’m comparing this Airbnb with all other Airbnbs that I’ve stayed at worldwide. The location was beautiful, the grounds were gorgeous and it had a good common area. AC worked great, sound system and tvs good. There were a few things to mention that needed attention such as water from two of the bathrooms flooding the whole bathroom because the drain in the showers didn't drain properly. The kitchen cabinets below were kind of gross and needed upkeep and cleaning. Not much space to put clothes in the bedrooms. The whole place (especially the bedrooms and kitchen) need a DEEP clean. The pool, although refreshing, had tiles broken off that were still in the pool and left sharp edges on the stairs into the pool. And what bothered us were the 2 dogs left in a caged area all day that did not look healthy.

Thank you for your review and feedback, Susan. We are glad you enjoyed the location and amenities. To address your concerns, the dogs are well taken care of and not caged, but are in a fenced area under the shade and protection of a huge mango tree so as not to interfere with guests. Some guests love to interact with the dogs, others do not The house is cleaned between every group. We had a number of back to back reservations with groups arriving before check-in time, which makes doing a deep clean of kitchen cupboards difficult with limited time but all surfaces are cleaned, beds made with fresh sheets, bathrooms thoroughly scrubbed and floors washed. We have done a deep clean of the house to ensure that it is in top shape. One of the pool tiles was loose and has already been repaired. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention so that we could make the repairs. Thanks again for staying with us!

This house provided everything we needed and we felt safe. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Jaeson, who was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed having an indoor living room space to hang out at night, but we loved the beautifully landscaped pool area also. This place is great for large groups. Our group included six adults and seven kids. While we were a bit out of La Fortuna, we weren't far from any of the attractions or tours. In fact, we were a five-minute walk from Eden Chocolate and Coffee, which also has a nice cafe with coffee and good food. The best part of our stay was the service offered by William and Laura. We are so grateful for all of their work to arrange transportation and tours for us. Every provider they chose was professional and kind. Having drivers made the trip a breeze and we enjoyed talking with our drivers. We'd highly recommend the local cook option. We had three dinners and one breakfast cooked for us and brought to the house. The food was delicious!

Thank you for your detailed review; it will be helpful to future guests. We rea happy you enjoyed the property, it's amenities and the location. It is our pleasure to use our local knowledge and contacts to arrange customized itineraries for our guests at a discount. We look forward to hosting your families again! :)

Great place to stay.  Keep in mind is 9 kilometres from the main town, but worth it.

Thanks for your review, Jonatan. Yes, as the first line in our description states, the "Peacock Country Estate is 10 minutes from downtown, private, located in the Adventure Zone". The property is located in a rural setting which makes it very tranquil while at the same time being close to the downtown area for shops, dining, and all the attractions. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us and we look forward to hosting you again :)

We had an amazing time at this property, Clean, a lot of Space, a Nice Pool, a Great Stereo system, Great service, a Volleyball Field, a Soccer field, Pool Table . Thank you so much, William, Laura, Christian, and Hazel for your great hosp tality and service.

Thanks for staying with us Kami! In addition to the great amenities at the house, we also offer meal service with a local cook, onsite massages and laundry service. We look forward to hosting you again :)

We had a group of 14 people and this place was perfect. Pool is lovely and so much space in the backyard for volleyball and other activities. Christian was very helpful and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend this spot if staying near la fortuna!! Thank you

We are experts at hosting large groups, whether it is friends getting together or multigenerational family reunions. There is so much to do and see just at the estate itself including a track for jogging, a soccer field and a private river running along the edge of the property. Plus there are all the adventure activities like zip lining, rafting, and animal hikes that we can arrange at a discount. Thanks again for staying with us! :)

The kids loved the pool, volleyball, & sound system, which prompted a family dance party.

We went here for our honeymoon after getting married in Santa Ana. We wanted to celebrate our marriage with 12 close friends. This place was a perfect location and worked well for 14 people. Everything was exactly as advertised. Excellent location and the home was amazing. Couldn’t have picked a better place.

Awesome property for a large group! We had 4 families traveling together, and this home was ideal for us!  The home had plenty of bedrooms and configurations for everyone, multiple seating areas to relax, several eating areas to do meals (adults/kids) and a great pool.  Everyone associated with the property was super responsive.  Our group would absolutely stay here again.  Additionally, William and Laura were EXCELLENT in the tour and transportation companies with which they partnered.  If you do stay here, allow them to help coordinate planning for you as they are absolutely great at it!  Pura Vida!

Thanks for staying with us and writing a wonderful review! We are also happy to assist our guests with their travel plans. With over a decade of experience, we have developed an easy process for large groups to plan their customized itineraries and avoid common mistakes. We can arrange everything from transportation and tours, to services at the house like meals, massages, and celebrations. :)

William and Laura were very helpful in everything in our stay. Beautiful place to stay at. Very spacious. The pool was great!! Volleyball court was fun for the whole family. Pool table was a plus.

Thank you for your review, Jackie. This property is a destination in and of itself with plenty of fun things to do onsite between activities or in the evenings. In addition to the pool, beach volleyball and pool table, there is also a track for running, an area for playing soccer and a river where you can swim. It was a pleasure to host you group and we look forward to you staying with us again :)

Peacock Country Estate is very beautiful and comfortable. Air Conditionings worked great which is a huge deal in a muggy warm environment. Plenty of hot water. The family that cooks breakfast and dinner were some of the most attentive and friendly people we met during our vacation. The food they made for us was incredible to say the least. Both William and Laura were incredibly helpful with planning tours and excursions, and if we had an issue, they were on top of it right away. If you’re looking for an adventurous vacation and a comfortable place to stay, there’s no where else to rent but here. I literally can’t say enough about our experience here.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review, Stephen, it was a pleasure to host your group! We've been hosting guests since I started the company working with a single, one-bedroom log house 14 years ago and so far have hosted nearly 300,000 people. Along the way we've figured out pretty much everything that there is to know about vacationing in this corner of the world, including how to quickly and effortlessly help with planning for large groups with our unique 4-step planning system and vacation guide. We do our best to help our guests avoid most of the typical frustrations and delays that almost always come with traveling abroad, streamlining as much as possible by working with the best people who provide great experiences but also provide great value. Thanks so much for staying with us and thanks for writing such a kind review. We hope to host you again soon, Pura Vida! :)

Thank you for taking the time to review our property, Tony, and thanks for being such a gracious guest. There were a number of maintenance issues which all cropped up during one stay in particular, which happened to be yours. We appreciate you trying to give us a positive review and not mention any of them, but more than that we appreciate how quickly you brought those issues to our attention so that we could address them right away. Yours was a great group to host and we hope to do so again. We'll give you a Friends and Family discount on your next stay! :-D Travel safely, Pura Vida! :)

William and Luara went above and beyond to help our friends wedding celebration be a complete success. From providing ample recommendations, to even helping us cater food and setup decorations for a beautiful night in, they went above and beyond in every way. 10/10 recommend!

Thank you, Sharan, for your kind words. It was our pleasure to help put together a celebration for your friend. We would be happy to have your group stay with us again :)

Great location, great house, great place for a family get together.

Thank you for your review. We enjoyed hosting your family! :)

Thanks for staying with us! It was great to host you :)

Great property. We felt love with the property.

This home was absolutely beautiful and spacious! Such a great gathering area for everyone to enjoy spending time together. The host William was super helpful in booking tours and with any questions The grounds were absolutely beautiful. It was a little outside of town (about 15 minutes), but we knew that and had a rental car, so it was not a problem.

There were 6 of us that stayed at the Peacock Estates house. We totally enjoyed our stay. The surroundings were beautiful and there was a lot of rain. The property was huge with lots of areas to walk around and explore. We walked down to the river and saw the peacock (looking kind of sad), iguanas, and a turtle. We also walked to the store about every other day (about a mile). William was always available to help us with whatever we needed. He helped us arrange tours and transportation and was very quick to respond to anything we needed. It was nice having Janet was very attentive and came in regularly to do some light cleaning, empty garbages, and replenish supplies. We enjoyed the big master bathroom, especially the big shower (however it drained very slowly). The highway was a little too close and the big trucks driving by were noisey. I highly reccommend this house and hope that we can return in the future.

The place was great!  Lots of space.  The cooks were fabulous!  Definitely do the meals.  Potatoes and chicken in sauce was amazing!  Pancakes!  Traditional breakfast was great.  Easy access to locations.  The housekeeper is on site to help with any needs.     Property is beautiful and pool is beautiful.

Great place to stay just outside of town.  Plenty of space for several families (we only used a few bedrooms).  Highly recommend getting breakfast cooked at the house.  We would definitely return and loved the great communication by William and Laura.

Thanks for your review, Paul! Meals at the house are definitely a great way to enjoy your vacation. We suggest guests have dinner prepared on their arrival day so that they don't have to load back up into cars when they are hungry after a long day of travel. Better to unpack, relax at the house and have someone else do the cooking and cleanup. Breakfasts before tours are also amazing and get the day off to a great start. :)

Beautiful place!  Very easily accommodated our group of 12 and could have fit more!  The pool was quite large, with ample seating around it, and lovely lighting at night.  Kitchen was very well-equipped, much more than other Airbnbs we have stayed in.  Music and entertainment system were fantastic.  William was very responsive, and local staff stay in a separate building but within the estate, so it was very easy to communicate about any issues that came up.  It felt very safe and secure.  Overall, a fantastic pick and we’d highly recommend it!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Suzanne! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay, especially the pool area, music system and kitchen amenities. Thanks for staying with us!

Great home for large groups, location was ideal in town near the excursions. Hosts were helpful with tips and scheduling. We had the group breakfast, which you could organize with the house and it was a perfect was to start the trip. We all agreed it was a good find!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review; it is very helpful for future guests. With 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, we often host multi-generational families, several families traveling together or groups of friends. We assist our guests with transportation options, free activity/itinerary scheduling, private meal service at the house and discounts on just about everything. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again :)

This Airbnb made our stay in Costa Rica. We were able to book all activities and reservations through them. Everyone who was maintaining the bnb was very nice and helpful. The hosts and Nohelia were incredibly helpful when booking and during our stay. my friends and I had the best time doing everything seamlessly. I would 100% come back and book this bnb again.

It was our pleasure to host your group and arrange a customized itinerary during your stay. We are glad that you had a great time at our property and look forward to welcoming you back :)

The house is amazing. Such a beautiful piece of land and amazing hosts. The book of what to do and not to do as super helpful. would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again! :)

Our stay was great! There was plenty to do, especially with all the recommendations from the host. Our host, Nohelia, was super responsive and all questions were answered in a quick manner. We loved our stay and hope to be back soon! (:

The pictures do not do this house justice. We had an amazing time here and got to walk around the property and experience the Costa Rican beauty. The communication is phenomenal and the suggestions to restaurants and activities are well thought out. We look forward to staying here again.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Rudy! We are happy to hear that our assistance and recommendations were helpful. It was a pleasure to host your family and we look forward to having you stay with us again! :)

Great property for a large family vacation.

The house was perfect for our family. Nohelia was wonderful to work with and helped us daily with transportation and excursions! I highly recommend letting her help you if you choose to stay in this home.

We are glad that your family enjoyed their stay! We are always happy to help our guests with planning their vacation and making arrangements at a discount. Thanks for staying with us! :)

First, I can't stress enough how helpful and communicative William and Laura and Casa de Costa Rica were. Their general information on traveling in Costa Rica was super valuable as I made plans for our group. Willam's suggestions regarding transportation ended up being particularly valuable, and spot-on. And Nohelia -- what an absolute gem of a person. She was our main contact person once we booked the house, and because we set up transportation through CdCR for several legs of our vacation, we were in contact throughout. Nohelia helped us with our arrival (arranging food for our drive from San Jose to the house), with excursions and transportation, and with trouble-shooting. I can't say enough about how good she is at what she does. As for the Peacock Country Estate, it was a good place for our group and a nice "landing spot" for our first few days in Costa Rica. The grounds are indeed spacious, well-maintained, and beautiful. We were there in late-June during the rainy season so we didn't get to use the pool much, but it's nice and is surely a great spot on a sunny day. We adored Draco, the sweet older dog who often came by to visit (very polite -- he never came in the house or barked; we was a friendly presence). There is a lot of space, so our group of 9 was comfortable. The house was clean (yes there are some ants and bugs, but we expect that in the tropics), the beds were comfy, and the air conditioning worked well. Even if we had stayed right in La Fortuna, which we wouldn't have wanted to do, it seems like we would have ended up driving a bit to every activity, so staying in this house about 15 minutes away was a nice option. The restaurant a short walk up the road, Rancho Eden, is terrific. We had our 1st real meal in the country there -- lucky us. I highly recommend the patacones and the blended juice drinks. We were disappointed we didn't get the chance to take the chocolate tour they offer, but we did enjoy walking around the grounds. There were a few things about the house that could use improving. Most importantly, one of the showers has exposed wiring (for the heating unit) that actually sparked while one of our group was in the shower. Also, the roof over the great room (formerly the courtyard) leaks in several spots. There are several trashcans and pots arrayed around the room to catch water, and we noticed a few other spots beneath joints or at the base of beams. Also, the kitchen has many things (a microwave, a toaster oven, lots of pots, pans, dishes, glasses, etc.) but lacks some common and useful items like a colander and a baking sheet. There were also no spices, oil, or any of the basics we usually find in a rental, not even salt and pepper. I should add that the owner responded quickly when we had an issue with a clogged toilet and a (different) shower that wasn't heating (the circuit had tripped). I don't think the wiring or leaks could have been addressed while we were there, though other reviews also mention them. All in all, the Peacock Country Estate has a couple areas that need some attention, but is otherwise a well-situated, spacious place on beautiful grounds that is an excellent option for larger groups. Working with William, Laura, and especially Nohelia adds a great deal of value to this listing.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review, Scott! We really appreciate it. Great news, the ROOF IS FINALLY FIXED!! YAY! :-D The main problem trying to repair the connection between the roofs over what used to be three separate buildings and the huge one that I designed to create an air-conditioned Great Room has beenTIMING ha ha! Whenever we weren't fully booked, (which is rare!) it was always raining. And we weren't goinng to cancel anyone's stay with us. However we are VERY happy to report that the Great Room roof has been fixed,, AND the showers have been converted to a central heating system instead of the "flash heaters" that are used throughout the country.   We're thrilled that our team was able to make your travel experieence so enjoyable and look forward to hosting you again soon. Pura Vida! :)

An absolutely fantastic stay for an extended family of 12 people, ages 8-71. We loved the fruit trees in the garden, the full kitchen, a nice pool, etc. Nohelia helped us arrange transportation and activities, which went flawlessly. WiFi was hit or miss, but otherwise a perfect vacation!

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We know that planning and making arrangements for large groups can be difficult and are happy to help every step of the way to make your vacation easy and relaxing. We have just upgraded that wifi for a stronger signal and steady service. We look forward to hosting you on your next visit. :-)

Previously, I booked this place for my 26th birthday vacation in La Fortuna ..with very little planning and expectations. When I first booked, Nohelia emailed me with very cohesive instructions on the services, excursions, and accommodations that are provided when booking The Peacock Estate. LET ME TELL YOU.......Nohelia, was SUCH a help in booking THEE BEST excursions for our group, finding friendly price bundles, prepping AMAMZING meals for our arrival, giving us the best TIPS for restaurants to eat at and stay away from. With this being said, our trip was planned to a T but not overwhelmed with TOO many excursions to cause our group to feel drained throughout the day. Oh, did I also mention she arranged transportation for our group to be picked up at the (SJO) San Jose Airport and taken to the Peacock Estate and......transportation for ALL the excursions.....AND transportation back to the airport for our last day, ALLL for a GREAT price!! Nohelia's service is one of a kind, as she stated, "Jordan, I like to think of us as friends not just a random host" One last thing, there's a restaurant up the street called Eden Chocolate, (I believe), some of the best food you'll have during your entire stay!!!! All in all, this place and service is 1000/10.....yes people, it's THAT DAMN GOOD!!! 

He made it very easy to communicate and answered all of our calls about questions. We appreciate the quick responses and willingness to make us feel welcome and comfortable.

Was a really nice place, very friendly owner with 3 awesome dogs. highly recommend.

Thanks for staying with us, Yaakov. You are welcome back anytime :-)

Such a lovely, comfortable, clean house to stay in for a large group!  We had a wonderful time!  Beds were great, plenty of A/C, fully stocked kitchen & 2 refrigerators helped keep our hungry & thirsty group satisfied.  The pool is beautiful and surrounding land is expansive and serene.  Property management was so accommodating and hospitable.   They gave great advice and helped arrange our entire itinerary for 14 people.  We highly recommend!

It was a pleasure to host you and your family for your birthday celebration. We were very happy to arrange transportation, activities and meals during your visit. Thanks for staying with us! :)

Peacock Country Estate is a fantastic place to stay if going to the La Fortuna area, especially with a large group. We went with 3 families/19 people total. (AirBnB will only allow you to enter up to 16 people, then William and Laura will contact you and charge for any additional people). Having plenty of beds for everyone, and individual air conditioners in each bedroom made for a comfortable stay for everyone. Beyond that, the grounds are just stunning, and the pool was so fun! They provided all the linens, including 2 towels per person, which was perfect. I was originally a little hesitant to book this place because it seemed like it was a little farther from the things we wanted to do in La Fortuna than I wanted to be, but it was probably just a few extra minutes than other places I'd considered, and didn't feel far once we were there. William and Laura/Casa de Costa Rica is a well-oiled machine. They know what they are doing, and communicate well. Their customer service specialist, Nohelia, is FANTASTIC!!!! Super helpful in booking tours, and very responsive for check in and check out questions when we reached out. There's a lot to figure out when visiting a foreign country for the first time, and they are basically willing to help with as much or as little as you need.

We truly enjoyed our time in La Fortuna. The house was perfect for our party of 14. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and everyone enjoyed the pool. Christian was great with our needs on the property and Nohelia was a great concierge. She helped to organize excursions, rides and even helped us order pizza the night we arrived. They also found an iPad that was left behind and worked on getting it to us in Tamarindo. Very grateful for that. We also enjoyed the Chocolate farm next door. I would recommend doing that if you have time. I would totally recommend this property.

Thank you for your review, Lisa! We are always happy to hear when groups enjoy the property. It was a pleasure to host your family and we look forward to having you back again :)

Nice property. The hosts are very good at communicating with you. In my opinion I’d like better upgraded bathrooms. But other than that it was a nice place.

Thank you for your review. We agree that the bathrooms need updating and already have work scheduled for next month :-) You'll be able to see the improvements on your next visit. Thanks for staying with us!

Our group of 10 kids and 6 adults enjoyed our visit to this spot!  Dinner arranged on our arrival night was a welcome sight after a long day of travel.  Al excursions were amazing and well coordinated! The pool was great at the end of the day to cool off and relax.  Plenty of space to spread out and also gather socially.  The restaurant within walking distance was delicious and so reasonably priced!

It was a pleasure to host your group and organize an itinerary for you :-) We know that traveling with a large group and coordinating plans can be difficult, and we are happy to help with our expert knowledge. Thanks for staying with us!

Beautiful property! We loved our stay - William and Laura were super responsive and helped us coordinate excursions seamlessly. The location was close to town and the pool / sand volleyball court were awesome!

We are glad to hear you loved your stay! Thank you for choosing our property :-)

Fabulous property we really enjoyed every minute of our stay. Absolute paradise!!!

Amazing place.  Super great for large groups

It was a pleasure to host your group. Thanks for staying with us! :)

This house truly sleeps 20 if necessary. The pool was lovely as well as the volleyball court and the back yard full of birds. It was close to La Fortuna but much more peaceful. Lots of adventure nearby.

The house was absolutely beautiful! Just as the pictures showed… maybe even a little better! We were a group of 13 and everybody had adequate space to do as they pleased. The chefs who came to cook breakfast and dinner for us on my birthday were amazing! Nohelia booked all of the excursions we did ahead of time, which was super helpful! She even helped my friend find stores to buy a cake and party decorations. The only downfall was the owner Christian. He was very very nice but he had a tendency of overstepping his boundaries quite often. He would come in the house while we were gone and we noticed that some of our things would be moved. We walked in the house after an excursion one day and he was in the kitchen looking in the refrigerator. During the day, Christian would just walk in the house and sit on the couch as if we were all good friends. I took it as a “cultural thing” but it was quite unsettling for some of my friends to have this strange man in the house all the time. My husband eventually (day 4) had to tell him that the girls were uncomfortable and if he didn’t need anything that he needed to leave. Other than that, everything was great!!!!!

This was a difficult group. They partied hard, broke furniture and more. When they found Christian in front of the fridge, it was because he was having the ice maker fixed after they drunkenly left the fridge open all night and it froze itself. The other time that he was in the Great Room, it was because one of the women in the group had called him over for some made-up reason, then asked him to stay and party. He took advantage of the opportunity to keep an eye on the property, trying to ensure that no more damage was done. This group broke furniture and then tried to lie about it and avoid paying, broke the tips off of the pool cues which are difficult to repair in Costa Rica, and more. Ignore this nonsense. Christian used to manage not one but two of the area's top resorts, is one of Costa Rica's top real estate professionals and is both friendly AND professional; an all around delight. You will not find him to be intrusive in the slightest.

The house is big and Spacious and in a very good and safe location. The owner is very warm and friendly and showed us around the property. There’s a river in the back which was really cool. However, the house is very old and not well maintained. There are BED BUGS on the furniture and a lot of ants. The showers are almost not functioning, with barely warm water and a weak flow. The owner lives on the same property (separate building, but sharing the yard and pool) and that took away our privacy, especially with the home with glass doors. We also didn’t see any kind of animals in the yard. The pool was dirty upon our arrival and after pointing it out the owner treated it and cleaned it. It was ready for us for the next day. The owners dogs are around, and are free to poop anywhere, so you have to watch where you step. On the day of our departure the housekeeping walked into the house at 9am and wanted to start cleaning while we were still there. We usually enjoy Airbnb’s homes, but this home unfortunately wasn’t one of them. I think with a bit maintenance this home has a great potential!

There were no bedbugs, just a few ants on a TV. These guests tried to extort us, threating a bad review unless we gave them free services. You've just read their bad review which is untrue. This group was extremely inconsiderate and poorly behaved. They allowed their misbehaved children to try to shoot the birds with a slingshot, (imagine, shooting at Toucans with a slingshot!) and throw handfuls of rocks and sand into the pool. The kids also struck metal and glass patio doors with rocks from the slingshot. Even though we gave them not one but two discounts on their stay for being last minute and a smaller group, they still asked for more and in the end we included free laundry. This was a mistake, because they sent several changes of clothes per person per day, plus their group of 9 demanded 30 clean towels per day, many of which ended up in the dirt, the pool, the floor etc. The wife requested extra cleaning every day for an extra fee and again demanded a discount, which we gave her. Then she refused to pay for it, claiming to have forgotten every day. Eventually we told her that we would be submitting a claim through Airbnb for payment, so she sent us a picture of some ants on a TV in the Great Room, claimed that they were bedbugs and threatened to write a bad review if we pushed for payment of the cleaning fees. Contrary to what they've posted here, they loved the property so much that on the last day, they simply refused to leave! They began their stay by demanding that a decorative Buddha statue be removed because it offended their religious beliefs which we did. They ended their stay with the father standing in our river for two hours and simply refusing to leave so that we could clean for the next group arriving that day. When our partner tried to tell the children to get their father because it was two hours past their checkout time and we desperately needed to get started re-setting for the next guests, they shot pebbles at him with the slingshot! Airbnb, despite being sent pictures of the rocks in the pool and despite the guests having no proof of bedbugs, has refused to remove this scandalous review. We love hosting guests and assisting them with their vacations; however, this group was so profoundly disrespectful, not only to our staff and the property but also to the group after them who had the right to check in on time to a properly prepared estate, that we would never host them again and we would warn other hosts not to host them either. For more accurate information about the property, please refer to other reviews posted here. We hope to host you soon, Pura Vida! :-D

The pictures are accurate to what you get.  It is great for large groups and is close to everything.

We had an amazing stay at Peacock Estates, the house is just as pictured. The common area was perfect for our extended family to spend time together and the kids loved the pool and volleyball court. The property itself is beautiful, I loved walking around and seeing the native plants and birds. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cookware, and utencils. There are two fridges, so plenty of room for food and drinks. They provided plenty of towels and the beds were comfortable. The location is great, there is plenty of privacy, yet you are a short drive from Fortuna and a lot of amazing activities. I highly recommend visiting the restaurant/chocolate tour next door, the food was incredible, and they are such nice people. One of the best things about this property is the people. Christian lives on site and is so friendly and helpful. He showed us around, took us to the little river behind the house and helped us with whatever we needed during our stay. Nohelia is the concierge, we were in contact with her during the planning process, she booked all of our transportation and excursions for our stay. She also called taxis for us and took care to make sure we had everything we needed. She is incredibly sweet and very good at her job. Take full advantage of her services.

Loved the property…and the location but wish the property had little more basic amenities like laundry etc…!!

We are glad to hear that you loved the property, Swathi. The listing for the property shows that we do not have a washer and dryer. We had to remove them because several groups washed hiking boots damaging the motor and causing costly repairs. We do offer laundry service at a low cost for our guests. This was shared with you in the pre-travel package we emailed, during check-in and also in the welcome booklet. For future guests, there is also a phone in the house programmed with the number of our free concierge service for any questions that come up during your stay, for everything from having a pizza ordered to booking activities and yes even getting your laundry done :-)  Thanks again for staying with us!

The Peacock Estate is as large as advertised. There are numerous bedrooms and bathrooms. The living room dining room area is very spacious. Kitchen is well equipped. The pool is nice. Our kids used the volleyball court. It is about a 15 minute drive to La Fortuna, and closer to a 30 minute drive to any of the Hot Springs resorts. We enjoyed the food at the adjacent Eden chocolate farm. The people at the Eden chocolate farm are very friendly, their food is good, and very reasonably priced. Those are the same people who will bring you breakfast to the house in the morning if you arrange it in advance. We very much appreciated the customer service assistance from Nohelia, who booked our activities in advance. She gave good advice and arranged all the activities. On the negative side, none of the electrical wiring on the showerheads is grounded, and we felt it was unsafe to take showers after one of the members of our group got an electrical shock when he touched a showerhead upon arrival when he noticed the unsafe wiring. Fortunately the water wasn’t running at the time. I would ask for confirmation that this unsafe wiring has been corrected before booking. All showers need to have electrical shower heads grounded. Before booking, I would also check with the property managers to see if the adjacent vacant lot is still being used for loud rave parties. While we were there a huge rave party (200 people at least) was held on the adjacent lot on Saturday night until about 4 AM. It was very loud, and very difficult to sleep through. This issue is definitely not the fault of the owners or property managers, and certainly not within their control. But it is something that should be disclosed to people when renting.

Thank you for your review, as your mistakes and assumptions will be of great help to future travelers.  We're glad that you confirmed that the property is as advertised. However you failed to mention that there is a phone in the Great Room for guest use which has our free Concierge Service number programmed into it, which you did not call when these matters came up during your stay. So you gave us no chance to help you in the moment and instead have made assumptions/statements in your review that are simply not true.  We explained how to work the showers during check-in. By the way, MOST of the world uses these types of "flash heater" showers, including modern Rome and other European destinations, not just the developing world, because most of the world doesn't run separate hot and cold water lines when they build their houses. You're not alone in expecting things to be similar or the same when you travel as they are at home, lots of people do! However this is rarely the case. (It's also kinda the point of traveling in the first place, right? ;-)  While we admire your friends' professional curiosity, either they or you should have called for help. It was not appropriate for them to mess with it, breaking it and then not telling us until after your stay so that we had to rush around to repair it prior to the next group's arrival later that day. That caused quite a bit of unnecessary stress for you AND for our staff.  This is a gorgeous and unique destination estate featured in multiple magazines etc. Do you really think that we'd risk electrocuting our guests, some of whom are repeat corporate clients and international wedding planners?  Speaking of weddings, that's what the "rave" was; a wedding and that bride or groom happened to like techno as well as salsa music. Again, if you'd just picked up the phone and asked instead of making assumptions, then you'd probably have been invited if you wanted to go.  We genuinely mean it when we say thank you for your review, but next time CALL, don't assume. You'd have had a much more enjoyable stay yourselves, plus your review wouldn't mislead future travelers. We hope that you'll come for another stay and let us help you to have the thoroughly enjoyable experience that you could and should have had. Travel safely, Pura Vida! :)

This house has everything! Best way to spend my 30th with family and friends. Services were amazing and made it stress-free when coordinating for a group of 7! I can’t say enough good things.

This accommodation is great. When we arrived it was clean and Christian welcomed us and provided helpful information for our stay and made sure that we could reach out to him or Nohelia if we had any questions. They supported us with contacts for trips even on short notice, laundry service and basic information on restaurants etc. Communication via Whatsapp worked just fine and was uncomplicated. The place is perfect for a larger group, even though I would say that with our group of ten people, sometimes the availability of bathrooms was limited and as most of the rooms are directly connected to the livingroom-area, it can get rather loud for those who want to sleep earlier/ longer. We would definitely recommend the the accommodation for groups of similar sizes. The grounds are well maintained and we made full use of the pool, the barbecue, the fitness-area and the beachvolleyball field. It provided a welcome alternative to hotels on our trip as you have the whole house and grounds for yourself.

We loved our stay here. We had 4 families and there was plenty of room and they were very accommodating. Norelia was wonderful and  planned all our excursions! Very close to everything and loved the fresh avocados every morning! We took full advantage of the pool, volleyball court, and pool table!

Honestly best trip and accommodations I could have asked for.  I am so Grateful for the opportunity to have booked William and Laura airbnb.  best lifeDecision ever.  Other than the house being beautiful space of luxury in paradise Laura Williams and Nolia provided me with all the help I  could ever ask for. They helped me with all of accommodations for trip including ; food, souvenir shopping, best prices for excursions, taxi rides, even late night pizza orders. Literally anything I needed they were right there in a touch of a button . because of them this trip was the best trip ever for a family of 12. You could imagine how hectic it could’ve been traveling to an international country with 12 people Which includes a toddler and two elderly members, but with the help of William Natolia  and Lara it was smooth sailing and even with some hiccups along the way  they were able to accommodate and help us figure out every point and corner of this trip . My family joked saying “This must be how it feels to have a personal assistant “ “ To live the life of luxury “ Natolia was heaven sent. I’m internally blessed and grateful for the opportunity to have worked with them this will go down in history as the best trip ever.

Thanks, Farah, for taking the time to share your experience. With 7 bedrooms at Peacock Estate, we are specialists at hosting large group and multi-generational family vacations, and we know the best system for making arrangements for a large number of people. Booking transportation, tours and activities is smooth sailing when groups follow our method for putting an itinerary together. We are always happy to help our guests have the best vacation possible. It was a joy to host your group and we look forward to hosting you again in the future :-)

Absolutely stunning estate. Gorgeous plot of gated and secure land, beautifully landscaped with deer, a horse, a peacock, and friendly dog calling it home. The house itself was huge! With plenty of room to stretch out and entertain, with the pool as a lovely center piece. Clean and well kept, bathrooms aren't modern and the water pressure isn't what we're accustomed to but that's common out of the US. Location was exactly what we were looking for, not too far from our excursions but offered privacy. With an awesome little coffee shop/cafe just a short walk from the house. We even had locals chefs come by and serve us dinner on the outdoor dining area, such a special treat. Highly recommend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay; thanks!

Spacious location with lots of wildlife to keep you entertained.  I highly recommend the local "Auntie's" meals.  The meals were phenomenal!  Also, Nohelia, who helped us organize tours and transportation, is amazing!!

It was a pleasure to host your girls' getaway and help arrange your transportation, activities, meals and spa treatments! Thanks for staying with us!

Nice place to stay at near La Fortuna, plenty of activities around.  The house has more than anything you need :)

Thank you so much for posting, Karolina! We're very proud of the property and very happy that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to host you again soon, Pura Vida! :)

The Peacock Estate was not our first choice but we got to stay at this amazing property due to some maintenance issues at our original house choice. We were very pleased with the house and the grounds! Great upgrade! I highly recommend staying at this property during your stay in the La Fortuna area. Read on for more details! THE GOOD: - The owners, Christian and his wife Daniella, were really nice, respected our privacy and were very accommodating. They were there for the check-in and even accompanied us for dinner the first night we arrived. They were in a smaller separate home on the property and were available throughout the stay if we had any questions or concerns. - William and Laura responded to and dealt with some early issues in a timely manner. The customer service we received from them was above and beyond expectations! - Nohelia arranged all our excursions and it was so easy to communicate with her and to book all the activities. She is a gem and I highly recommend using her services! - The house and land is HUGE. There is tons of space for a large group of friends or family. - The house was very comfortable, had all the amenities one would expect from an Airbnb property but had even more! The pool was nice; the kitchen had everything we needed; the pool table was a smart addition; and the air conditioning worked perfectly throughout the house! - The animals (deer and peacock) were fun to watch during the day. The owner's pet chihuahua Sam loved spending time with us. Drago the Doberman was the sweetest "guard dog" and we welcomes his company outside by the pool - but the dog-lover in me thinks he needs more love and a bath. :) TO IMPROVE: - The house's internet service was really slow throughout the stay. Although there was an attempt to improve the service, the speed always remained between 0.2 and 2mbs. It was fine but not good enough for uploading large files, having clear Facetime calls and forget about using Netflix or other video applications. We sometimes got around the slow speed by using our cellular mobile data or using restaurant wifi. - 3 out of 4 of the bathrooms could use an upgrade - but the problems were not major enough to warrant a complaint. Do not hesitate to book this property!

This house is incredible with an awesome team! William booked incredible excursions for us and we would recommend all of them (River float, volcano hike, chocolate and coffee tour, horseback riding, volunteering at the animal shelter, and more). We only wish we had more time there. The house is very clean and the grounds are just incredible. The deer family are adorable and very fun to watch in the mornings. Azul the peacock is also highly entertaining. We were 6 adults and 3 kids (5-11) and had plenty of space. The AC works really well. If you can, I highly recommend the chefs. Every dinner was amazing and we got to know Costa Rican food better. I cannot say enough good things about this house! Noelia made sure we had everything we needed and she is just the sweetest. We had a family trip we will never forget, thanks to this team and amazing property!

Very nice place, exactly like the pictures.  Host has excellent communication.

This house is absolutely magical, made all the more magical by all of the sweet animals.  The house is much more spacious than we anticipated and everything was spotless and the beds were so comfortable.  This was truly an oasis that we actually wished we had booked more time to just relax and hang out in the house.  Nohelia was so helpful in recommending activities and restaurants and we had such an amazing time.  We can't wait to come back and actually just enjoy more of what this beautiful property has to offer.  The onsite caretakers were wonderful as well- out of the way but went out of their way if we needed anything.  We also got a comprehensive tour on check in and we loved every moment we had during our stay and only wished for more time to enjoy.  An amazing all around experience and vacation retreat!

Pictures are accurate. Pool is amazing. Great communication. Nohelia was extremely helpful. Would stay here again.

It was a pleasure to host you for your birthday celebrations! We were happy to arrange decorations at the house and a welcome dinner with a special birthday cake. With our free concierge service we are able to coordinate activities, services such as massages by the pool or in-home dinner prepared by a chef and special requests. Thanks for staying with us and we look forward to hosting you on your next visit :-)

Beautiful, spacious, very well-kept house, pool, and property.  The house is just off the main road and is easy to find on Google maps.  Convenient location too - just a short drive to La Fortuna, Arenal, hot springs.  We had a group of 8, and there was space for everyone, with plenty of room to spare.  The living room was nice too - several couches, pool table, and a good sound system.  All and all, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the peacock estate for larger groups.

I stayed at William and Lauras home with a group of friends that were super excited about their first time in Costa Rica. The home was perfect for our large group, from the chef making us breakfast every morning to the spa treatments we able to book in home on our rainy morning. Everything was perfect. The deer in the back yard are such a sweet touch too. You will not be disappointed staying here one bit. And the location is perfect if your exploring La Fortuna as we were!

Wow! Thank you for the glowing review Tori! We were very happy to host your group and to be able to arrange so many activities and services for your group to enjoy. Thanks again for staying with us and we look forward to hosting you and your friends again!

This home was perfect for our large group. The home was very clean and communication was easy with Noehlia. They were very helpful with planning our hikes and activities in la Fortuna. The grounds are beautiful with peacocks and deer close by. Everything was perfect! They even have NFL red zone which we enjoyed on a Sunday haha. Perfect set up and very clean!

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Puja. As you said, the Peacock Estate is a great home for large groups. With 7 bedrooms and beds for 21 people, it is the perfect place for extended family vacations or friends' getaways. We are always happy to help our guests with arranging their activities and getting them discounts too! Thank you for staying with us and we look forward to hosting you again :-)

We had a wonderful time at Peacock Manor.  The animals (deer, peacock, cats and kittens) were a talking feature for us all.  The swimming pool was always clean thanks to the caretaker checking on it daily.  We found the living area comfortable. Bedroom space was more than adequate. We only had seven in our group, but I feel a group, double in size would have been quite comfortable.  There was also a pool table and exercise room. Take advantage the Casa De Costa Rica for booking excursions and such.  The excursions, chefs and masseuse Nohelia booked for us were more than excellent. We would definitely recommend Peacock Manor to all.

The home was absolutely amazing.  It can host the largest families with 6 bedrooms and 11 beds.  The home was very spacious and clean with hot water for showers.  The pool was also amazing and relaxing at the end of the day after seeing the sights.  It is very close to La Fortuna, about a 10-15 minute drive as well as to any attractions you would want to see (I would highly recommend Rio Celeste waterfall, Venado Caves, Mistico Hanging Bridges, whitewater rafting and ATV tour with Wave Expeditions).  The house has everything that you will need for your stay.  If you put Peacock Country Estate into Waze or Google Maps it will take you to the correct location.  The driveway is a little hidden behind some bushes and is on an angle so keep an eye out for it.  If your arrive at night look for the multicolored lights shining on the trees (we arrived at around 11:00 at night and drove by it a couple of times).  The communication was excellent with questions and information provided quickly.  I would not hesitate to stay here again.  If you are going to vacation in Costa Rica and are in the La Fortuna area with a larger family this is the place you need to stay!!!!

Thank you for reviewing the property. Just a clarification, the house has 7 bedrooms with a total of 13 beds. There is a breakdown of the types of beds in each room on the listing. The pool and patio area is one of our guests' favourite. We have also recently installed beach volleyball in the large yard next to the house. For our future guests, the house is just over a ten minute drive from town. We have a picture of the front gate online so that people will be familiar with the entrance when they arrive. We also provide a map to print, written directions, a link to googlemaps, gps coordinates and of course are available by phone. We are happy to accommodate late night check ins and also arrange transportation for groups who would rather relax while a professional does the driving. Thanks for staying with us and we hope to host you again soon! :)

The house was great, it was a very interesting style which we loved! It’s an older house that has a ton of character! We were only there for a short time, we would have loved to have stayed longer! The hosts made sure we had everything we needed and provided great information regarding local businesses.  We had nine people including 4 teenagers and we had plenty of space and everyone had options to keep them entertained.  Hope to return and enjoy that awesome front window again!! Pura Vida!!

Thank you for taking the time to post a review Lauri, we really appreciate it, as do our future guests :-) The house was originally built as three separate buildings with a central courtyard. The entire courtyard has since been roofed, glassed in and air conditioned to form a great room featuring two dining tables, hi-tech entertainment space with netflix (karaoke anyone?), seating areas and pool table. We provide a tour planner and guest services booklet when guests make their reservation to help with the planning process. We also provide a booklet in the house for an last-minute, additional tours, recommended restaurants and maps of the area. We look forward to hosting you on your next visit!

Our group of 12 had a great time at Peacock Country Estate. Originally we had a different house booked, but there was something wrong with it so we were upgraded at no cost to this rental. William was a great communicator and offered suggestions on what companies were reputable and offered discounts on some excursions. Upon arrival, we were greeted with the owner who took us on a tour and welcomed us with a shot of local liquor. I will say the photos make the house seem a lot larger than it is, but there’s still plenty of space for large groups. The only issues we ran into was the gate openers not always working and a small leak in the ceiling of the main room. If you’re staying near La Fortuna, it’s a great location. Most things are about a 10-15 minute drive, but we had rental cars so had easy access to all the things we wanted to do. Overall, we had a great experience at this house!

What a great spot in a great location! My two sisters, their husbands and I spent five magical days here and loved every second of it. Lots of bedroom options, would be great if we brought their kids next time. The pool and outdoor seating areas were especially nice and you could pick fresh tropical fruits from the trees! Everything worked well and William was so responsive and helpful throughout the process. They have the ability to connect you with an amazing young lady named Nohelia who can arrange transportation and fun activities for you and I strongly suggest you take them up. It made everything SO easy and seamless. Plus you get to chat with Nohelia, who is described quite accurately as a human sun beam. What a delight! The estate is located very close to the nice town of La Fortuna and there are so many fun things to do and see within a close drive. We did not rent a car, but the roads were great and I would be very comfortable driving in the area. Every single person we encountered was amazingly nice and welcoming. I fell in love with Costa Rica. The entire process and stay was one of the best Air BNB experiences I have ever had and I will definitely be back!

Dreamy! Above and beyond what we expected. There were 6 of us in my group. We were greeted with a welcome drink which was really nice and shown around. Nohelia was extremely helpful, she helped book all our activities and transport (even for one not in La Fortuna). Our driver stopped at the supermarket before we arrived so we could stock up, which was super helpful. We took full advantage of the pool, gym, pool table. The bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable. We saw lots of wildlife around the house. Everything was perfect! Thanks so much, we had the best time!

House was great! The pool and pool area are smaller than they appear in the listing, but still very nice. There is also another small front house on the property- they respected our privacy and it wasn’t an issue, but they were very close by. The location is a bit removed, I imagine it’d be challenging to get around without a rental car or having transportation pre-arranged. Overall our group of 9 was comfortable here.

We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay! :) Just to clarify for future guests, the little house on the property aren't neighbors, they're the caretakers for the property and there for your convenience, security and general assistance as well as pool cleaning, gardening etc. :)   Transportation is very easy, either with a rental car or by using taxis arranged by our amazing, free Concierge Service. In fact taxis are incredibly cheap and we are happy to set up your entire day or evening's itinerary in advance. We also work with excellent transportation companies if you'd rather not drive on the narrow, winding roads particularly at night.  Our free, professional Concierge Service will also book activities for you at a discount, arrange special services such as cooks/chefs/poolside massages and more. We're here to help you make the most of this extraordinary place and of your time with us.  See you soon, Pura Vida! :-)

This is a great house which is particularly excellent for larger gatherings. We were only using 3 bedrooms and lost count of how many actual bedrooms, bed and bathrooms there are, but there are a lot! It is easy to share the space and with lots of separate outdoor areas as well. The house is clean, comfortable and the kitchen is well-stocked with glasses/dishes/cookware. The pool, exercise equipment as well as billiards table are nice additions. The owner greeted us and treated us to a welcome drink he had made himself. There are also deer, a horse and a peacock on the property. You can walk around the grounds and enjoy the many trees, flowers and plants. We were able to see all kinds of birds including toucans. At night, there are many bird and frog sounds. The only negative (there's always at least one) is that the house is located off a major highway with lots of heavy truck traffic. The house is in a bit of a valley and the trucks often use the engine brake ("jake brake") to slow down and for those bothered by such noise it may be an issue. Other than that, the house is as described and the host includes a guide book with very detailed information about the house and the area, including local restaurants (we loved Taquica) and organized 2 tours for us which were exactly what we wanted. Very helpful with the local area which saved us some research

Wow. a great place for a group of family and friends, so much space for time alone or time to share with family and friends. very unique space and layout.
