Zen House with volcano view in La Fortuna! - Houses for Rent in La Fortuna, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

Shelly was great!  Very responsive.  House was big and fit all 15 of us comfortably!  Great location near all our Fortuna adventures.

The house was perfect for our Large family. Shelly made a some accommodations for our family that was more than 16.  We had a couple of issues come up that needed her advice/attention and she was right on it.

Amazing place! Beautiful views, quiet and peaceful. Host was very responsive and we enjoyed every area. Photos of the place were accurate!

Our family of 11 had a great time. Shelly and Luca were very helpful with all our questions. House was private and clean. Short uber to town. Everything was great. Thank you

We were only six people so the place was VERY roomy, which was great. It was very well equipped and included great pool, great outdoor space with barbecue and second kitchen plus huge outdoor deck. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms very spacious, we were very happy with the house.  Shelly was very responsive and helpful.

We are beyond grateful to Shelly and Luca, these hosts have truly been the absolute best. From the moment we arrived, we knew our first large family trip to La Fortuna was going to be something special, but this experience exceeded anything we could have imagined. The view of the volcano was stunning—easily one of the highlights of the home. The property itself was breathtaking and even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Words really can’t describe how incredible Shelly’s place is. Shelly and Luca were exceptional, responsive, attentive, and they truly went above and beyond. A very special thank you to Luca, he was absolutely amazing. He took care of our every need, booked all of our activities, arranged transportation, and made sure we had a perfect plan every day. Everything felt seamless and completely stress-free because of him. Our kids absolutely loved the pool, and the surroundings were peaceful with such a beautiful landscape. The location was perfect, just about an 8

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this property! The location was perfect—close to restaurants, grocery stores, and the town, making it easy to get around while still enjoying a peaceful setting. The home itself was beautiful, spacious, and comfortably accommodated our group of 6 adults and 5 kids with plenty of room for everyone. One of our favorite features was the second-floor balcony, where we enjoyed incredible views of Arenal Volcano each day. The host was friendly, welcoming, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again. Five stars!

Shelly and Luca are amazing hosts. The property looked just like the pictures if not better. Considering it is a tropical country, the property was spotless and no bugs or critters to be found. The responsiveness and updates were almost instant. They are very friendly and helped us through the stay. The house was cosy, kitchen had almost every appliance can imagine. Air fryer, oven, microwave, coffee machine, kettle, rice cooker, crockpots, and a fully stocked kitchen. Pool was clean and refreshing. We hope to return back and visit House Q again.

Great stay! We had a group of 12 and this place was perfect for our group.

This home worked out great for our extended family 13 people plenty of room. Terrific views all around.

A beautiful place to stay. Open and clean. The only bad thing was that the pool was broken and she let us know, and made accommodations to us for that.  Fortunately for us we weren't there long enough to miss it. We checked in late night time and left early the next morning. It accommodated 14 of us easily. If I was ever back in the area I would come back here.

Q House was a great space for our group of 3 families. The location was great, peaceful and had the most gorgeous sunset views of the volcano. Shelley was responsive to anything we needed. Luca was great planning our adventures for us. We hope to stay again!

Wonderful home! Spacious, clean, great kitchen(s) for a crowd (we had a group of 11). The queen bunk room and the two attached baths were such a huge plus for the kids. Everyone felt spoiled! The beds and linens were super comfortable. Gorgeous, pristine pool. Very safe walled-in yard. We loved coming back to the house worn out every evening after our dventures and relaxing poolside or watching movies and playing games. Great outdoor spaces. The atrium and koi pond was such a special area. Really can't say enough great things! Shelly and Luca were responsive and helpful! Wifi worked great too! The views were beautiful and the soaking tubs fantastic! Will definitely stay again when in La Fortuna! One thing to note about the gate: the directions were a little bit complicated and made us nervous when we initially got there, but just make sure the pass-thru door is closed before opening the gate. We never even used the pass-thru, didn't need to. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Shelly was great with communication, place was just like the photos. plenty of rooms and space for everyone to spread out. 5-10min drive to town for any restaurants.

Shelly was a great host, very responsive, local to area. She was able to help run some errands for groceries, pickup stuff, and provided recommendations for restaurants. The house itself had lot of amenities like outdoor kitchen and seating area for gathering right by the pool. You can watch kids/guests enjoy while enjoying the views and sipping on cocktails. Everything that is needed to cook, eat, etc. was all provided and plenty of it. Two refrigerators to keep groceries, drinks, etc. nice and cool. We really enjoyed the stay and would stay again.

Shelly was great! We had a little issue with the housekeeper/cleaner but nothing but great things with Shelly and the house!

Stunning, simply stunning.  We stayed with 3 families and had lots of space to spread out, super comfortable beds, and loved the indoor/outdoor options.  Coffee in the upstairs open area was the absolute star of the trip, a nice breeze and a beautiful view of the volcano.  I would absolutely stay here again!

Shelly’s Q House is an exceptional place to stay. The property itself is stunning, highlighted by a spectacular upper seating area that overlooks the pool and offers breathtaking views of Arenal Volcano. The house is spacious and thoughtfully designed. Our group of 11 had more than enough room to gather comfortably, while also having plenty of quiet nooks to spread out and relax. One of the standout features is the variety of dining spaces. The substantial outdoor dining area and fully equipped outdoor kitchen made for memorable shared meals in an incredible setting while the indoor spaces were just as amazing. We were initially unsure about the distance into La Fortuna, but that concern disappeared quickly. Ubers were easy to access, consistently arriving within about 10 minutes, and were very affordable. Luca, the concierge, was outstanding. He was quick to respond and attentive to every question. We feel like we found a gem with Q House and would wholeheartedly recommend it!

Great place to stay. Room for everyone!

Great house for a family vacation with all required facilities. Location is also spectacular. Would visit again!

Shelly was very responsive throughout our stay and quick to communicate whenever we reached out. The home is in a beautiful location and is large enough for a big family to stay comfortably together. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The AC units worked well and kept the rooms cool. We appreciated Shelly’s willingness to address concerns and work toward a fair resolution. She was communicative and clearly cares about her property and her guests’ experience. Overall, this is a spacious home in a lovely setting that works well for larger groups who want to stay together.

Thank you for having us and for your attention

Our extended family (10 adults and 5 kids) had an amazing stay here. Comfortable private bedrooms with tons of shared space inside and outside to share and spend quality time. The location is peaceful and centrally located to enjoy all that the area has to offer. Shelly was responsive and able to help accommodate our group's needs.

Shelly and Luca were amazing hosts and their home made our Costa Rica bachelorette trip so special. The house was beautiful, spotless, and even better than the photos - perfect for a large group of girls. We especially loved how many bathrooms there were, which made getting ready together easy and stress-free. They welcomed us with flowers and fresh fruit, which was such a thoughtful touch. Their response time was always quick, and they were kind and helpful throughout our stay. They also connected us with incredible excursions and reliable transportation, which made planning seamless. You can truly feel how much they care about their guests. We made the most unforgettable memories here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend! Pura Vida!!

Great trip.   Good location and the home was as advertised.

I really liked that the house is just as it appears in the photos!

Me gustó mucho que la casa es tal cual se ve en las fotos.!

Shellys communication was amazing!  She helped so much.  Thanks for making our trip great.

the house is new / pictures are accurate but for being a newly built hotel with 5 star reviews we expected a better quality house.  the finishes were of a poor quality.  tv had a black line running through it.  coffee was not drinkable. hairs in the bathroom from previous guests. there is no septic lines so you are not able to flush toilet paper down the toilet. for almost $2k a night that we paid the quality is not there. service was great though.

Hi Amit, every single house is on septic tank in Costa Rica. The country has no sewer system. That’s why we asked guests to not throw toilet paper inside the toilets. If it clogged, no one knows how to fix it. There is no snake line to do it here. I didn’t know there were hairs not being cleaned. My apologies for that. We just changed cleaners right before your check in. TV had a line, I need to replace it. But during holidays, hard to buy a bigger tv no one delivers it. Anyways sorry you had a bad experience at the house. But I will make sure everything will be fixed.

Shelly’s house is beautiful. The convenience of having the swimming pool was great. Also, the big space on the top was great to spend some time during the evenings when the kids played in the pool. Most of the attractions like sloth tours, zip lining, restaurants, thermal pools are 10-20 min away. We had some issues with some noise in one of the bedrooms in the middle of the night, and Shelly was very responsive even in the middle of the night fixing the issue. We highly recommend this house.

My stay at Shelly’s Zen House was truly transformative. The home is peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by the most breathtaking nature. There were butterflies drifting through the garden, vibrant birds singing each morning, and the stunning Arenal Volcano greeting you from the deck. Every sunrise I spent meditating on that deck was grounding and powerful. The fully stocked indoor and outdoor kitchens made it easy to cook fresh meals, and the pool and gardens were a daily source of relaxation and joy. Shelly is an exceptional host. she is warm, responsive, and genuinely caring. Her kindness made my stay feel safe, supported, and unforgettable. This trip was soul-filling in every way.

Shelly’s place was perfect for our group of 12 people!

This house is as shown in the pictures, my family and I were very comfortable, we were older adults, adults, teenagers and children... we all had an incredible time... the house is adapted for people with disabilities... a 10-star accommodation, 5 are very few. There were unforeseen events as in every house and Shelly responded to our messages as soon as possible and gave us a solution... a place that I recommend for vacationing in the way you like with friends, family... and despite going in winter in CR we had the blessing of seeing the Arenal volcano clear and showing its grandeur from a spectacular terrace

Esta casa es tal cual lo muestran las imagenes, mi familia y yo edtuvimos muy cómodos, fuimos desde adultos mayores, adultos, adolescentes y niños... todos lo pasamos increible.... la casa esta adaptada para personas con discapacidad... un alojamiento de 10 estrellas 5 son muy pocas. pasaron imprevistos como en toda casa y Shelly respondia nuestros mens a la brevedad y nos daba alguna solución... un lugar que recomiendo para vacacionar de la manera que les guste con amigos, familia.... y a pesar de ir en invierno en CR tuvimos la bendición de ver el volcan Arenal despejado y demostrando su imponencia desde una terraza espectacular

The view of Arenal with a morning coffee was awesome! Very spacious and relaxing. Great house for friends and family to spend time together. Thanks Shelly! Marlon

Very nice house and we could see the volcano, very spacious and everything is very clean.

Muy bonita casa y pudimos ver el volcán, muy espaciosa y todo muy limpio.

Given the limited luxury airbnb options in La Fortuna, Shelly’s house is a great option to stay in the area for 3-4 nights. House looks exactly like the pictures. We used Shelly’s private chef recommmendations for our dinners in the evening and it was simply perfect. Really had a great time. You can’t go wrong if you book this house.

Beautiful house with a private pool. Fantastic for a large group. Very centrally located. Owner is extremely responsive if any needs come up.

Nice location for tours and excursions in La Fortuna. Very comfortable house!

Joli emplacement pour les visites et excursions à La Fortuna. Maison très confortable !

We just stayed at this villa and all 8 of us loved it ! The space was huge, clean , and matched the description to the tea! The views and the location was amazing too. Shelly and Luca were so responsive , and they made our trip less stressful by suggesting us with excursions , private chef and any other questions we had. We definitely plan to return to Costa Rica and if we do we wouldnt hesitate to stay at this gorgeous villa again! ❤️

Shelley’s house was everything the listing promised. Beautiful and well-equipped, it had everything we needed except for a blender. When we contacted her about it, she had one at the house in less than ten minutes! Talk about above and beyond. We all loved the story of how she ended up in Costa Rica and built the house. Great host, great stay.

Shelly's place is really nice for large group and  she and her team are very responsive.

I loved this property. Great location, very spacious and beautiful

The house has a ton of open space and room. The pool and house are beautiful, and the hosts were extremely responsive to any issues and helped arrange tours. Some of the positives- Lots of space- TONS- both inside and outside. Places to hang out, places to eat, etc. There is both an inside and outside kitchen and refrigerator. The location is close to La Fortuna, restaurants, and shopping. It is only 20 minutes to Tabacon and most all the tours. The large room for kids had tons of beds. The house also has a few quirks that are worth knowing. First, like almost all houses in the La Fortuna area, it is on a septic tank, so you can't flush toilet paper. They are upfront about it, but some Americans aren't used to that. The stairs leading to the upper beds in the kids room are very small and difficult to navigate, and we were concerned that our youngest would potentially fall from them. The bathrooms/showers in the kids room are just one room, and the water can back up into the room.

Perfect! We had a group of 9 adults, with 3 couples and 3 singles. Host was incredibly responsive with every request. I’m a big guy and beds were very comfortable. Location was great for the many activities we tried. Everyone appreciated having bathrooms in every room. AC was great. We used the pool every night and it was clean and fresh. Our stay was perfect, I would come back, and recommend this place for everyone!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb!! It was perfect for a group of 9 guys visiting Costa Rica for the first time. The house had plenty of space, and almost everything we needed to have an amazing stay. There was a top deck, book, bbq, large open kitchen, and so much more. Jumping swimming pool was amazing on a hot day, and the view of Arenal volcano from the second floor deck on a clear day was spectacular! The house is also surrounded by flora, and the back room has a view of animals like horses and cows, and a bird feed room. There is even a fish pond in the middle of the compound! Shelly and the Q house team were very responsive, and were very helpful in arranging transportation and activities. We had an amazing stay, and we will definitely be back!

My family and I had a great time at the house. It was as beautiful as the pictures. The beds were super comfortable and there was lots of space both inside and outside. The house was clean and well maintained. Shelly was very responsive whenever we had a question. She also left us some information about restaurants and things to do. I would highly recommend a stay in this lovely house.

Beautiful location. Great view of the volcano in a gorgeous rural setting outside of town. Shelly was so very helpful when our son left an airpod and trying to get it back to us. Make sure you read the details on the directions as the linked google maps location takes you to town rather than the house.

The Q House was an absolute amazing place to stay at. I can say that the style of the place was better than illustrated in the pictures! My group and I throroughtly enjoyed all of the amenities, using both kitchens through our stay, the pool, the upstairs patio, and the koi fish pond. Shelly and Luca were always responsive and worked on fixing any issues that were brought up. In addition, we coordinated most of our activities through them which made planning much easier to do and for there to be less coordination. Overall the stay I would give a 10/10.

Our group of 12 just had the best stay at Q House! Kitchen had everything we needed. Each bedroom had its own spacious bathroom. It was private, quiet but super close to town and restaurants. The sunset views of Arenal were the highlight of our evenings. Shelly was so helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Shelly's place was perfect for our large group!  The pool was a hit with the kids. The AC worked very well and the bedrooms were quite comfortable. Luca helped us book our transfer to La Fortuna and all of our excursions, which were wonderful!

Very nice house, very friendly.  We were 4 families. The kids loved being all together in the same room!

Très belle maison, très conviviale.  Nous étions 4 familles. Les enfants ont adorés être tous ensemble ds la même chambre!

This house is absolutely wonderful! Shelly is a kind, helpful and a very responsive host. The house was a short drive from La Fortuna and was ideal for our big group of 14. We were all very comfortable and able to spread out and have plenty of space. The two kitchen spaces made it easy for us to cook our own meals and spend time together inside or out. I also recommend going to the top deck with your coffee in the early morning, there are so many birds to listen to and wildlife to watch and a great view of the volcano. I would absolutely stay here again!

This was a beautiful place. Shelly was very responsive to our needs.  We had an issue come up with the hot water and did her best to get to fixed right away. We enjoyed our stay

Beautiful home for a large family or group of friends. Privacy, pool, games for kids, washer and dryer, all you need is a tooth brush and your chill attire. 10 mins drive into town. Host was very responsive. We were very happy overall. Pura Vida!

amazing. perfect spot for a large group. best hosts best view!

OUTSTANDING!  Our group was 10 adults traveling on a group trip. This house accommodated us beautifully! Everything was super clean and organized and the group spaces were perfect for shared meals or hangs. The views from the top floor are magnificent - specifically at sun rise.  Luca - the concierge - helped us book fantastic tours. We did the jungle float tour, where we saw tons of wildlife, and the coffee/chocolate  tour at North Fields, which was both super informative and delicious.  One of our top highlights was spending a day at The Springs Resort in the wonderful hot springs- we were all blown away at this stunning location with its views and amenities. Shelly was super communicative and lovely as I was working through the planning stay of this trip and answered any questions immediately. Our group did not rent a car and Luca assisted us with arranging transportation for all our tours. I cannot recommend staying at Q house highly enough!

The home in La Fortuna was incredible! The view of Arenal Volcano from the property was breathtaking, especially at sunrise. The house itself was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts, Shelly and Lua, were friendly and accommodating, providing great local tips. A perfect base for exploring the area—highly recommend!

very large house,charming pool, very full kitchen。。

casa muy grande,encanto la piscina,cocina muy completo。。

The home is beautiful, and decorated very nicely.  It's extremely spacious, and comfortable. The views around the countryside were very nice.  Shelly was extremely responsive to any questions or comments we had.  She would answer our questions within 10-15 minutes of our asking.  The pool was very nice for the kids.  We had 8 adults and 7 children in our party.  Overall, a very nice experience in a beautiful part of Costa Rica.

This house is huge and has an incredible set up, would be great for large groups. We enjoyed the pool and multiple areas to eat. The AC was amazing and we slept very cool at night. It’s a short drive to town. The hot water ran out quickly with our group of 8. Having the cars inside the gated property was nice

Q house was a great find in La Fortuna for our large group! The villa was spacious, with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces. The hosts were easy to work with, very responsive and helped us book all our tour and experiences! I would highly recommend this villa for large groups as it checks all the boxes!

Beautiful house. Everything is there to ensure a good stay. The host is very responsive and friendly. Feel free to stay at Shelly's.

Magnifique maison. Tout y est pour assurer un bon séjour. L’hôte est très réactive et sympathique. N’hésitez pas à loger chez Shelly.

This home was amazing for our 2 families - 4 adults, 7 teens. We had plenty of space for downtime after fun activities in la fortuna.

La Fortuna Q house  offers lots of room, privacy, great view, natures paradise, so many birdsongs, great volcano views with an amazing swimming pool and outdoor kitchen. Superb!

Shelly and Luca were amazing and super helpful throughout our entire stay. This was the perfect place for my husband’s retirement and we are beyond grateful and looking forward to coming back soon. We had the pleasure of meeting Shelly in person, and she is so nice and so sweet and it shows she takes care of her beautiful home. When you come in the property it is exactly what you expect. The common areas are perfect for groups to gather away from the bedrooms. It’s really set up for large groups and the kitchen was great for us to cook some amazing meals as well as provide room for the masterful chefs that were recommended by Shelly.  We’ll be back soon!

Shelly is such a phenomenal host! We had such a great time staying at this beautiful house. The views were incredible and it’s in a great location - very quiet and a short drive from town. There’s also a sloth territory right around the corner that you can walk to and visit to learn about sloths, get some sightings, hike around the rainforest and cross over some hanging bridges. All the hot springs, waterfall, Arenal volcano, hikes are all under 20 minutes away as well. The property is well looked after and Shelly is easy to contact if you need anything. And I mean anything! I had asked her if there was a highchair, as we were travelling with my baby, and she didn’t have one but went out of her way to buy one for us and future guests to use that same day. She knew it would make things much easier for us and wanted to make sure we’re comfortable for our stay. I highly recommend staying in this villa for your family vacation and having Shelly as a host!

From the moment I started communicating with Shelly it was obvious that she was different from other owners.  She was VERY attentive.  We invited her to our son's rehearsal dinner that we hosted there and she spent the whole day there with us helping in case something came up.  WHO does that, no one else!  The house is nothing short of AMAZING!  The layout, the decor, and the outdoor kitchen and upstairs patio were a great place for our friends to congregate. Big bedrooms, comfortable beds, and big showers were a BONUS! We would rent from her again if we ever return.  We even rented a few cabins she has right next door for our family!   I can't say enough about the property or Shelly!  If I could give her 10 Stars I would!!! Thank you Shelly for making a special event in our family so special!

A Truly Beautiful Home – Perfect for Families! We had an incredible stay at this stunning Airbnb! The house is absolutely beautiful – spacious, stylish, and with so many thoughtful details. It has a fantastic number of bedrooms and bathrooms, making it ideal for families or large groups. Each room was meticulously designed with comfort and convenience in mind, and there were plenty of customization options that really made it feel like home. Host is kind enough to check in early. Found out that Local caretaker is feeding her wrong information. He is telling some thing one hand and different thing to Host. He told host that we took swimming pool floats to Hot Springs when we kept them in the closet for security. We had issues with main door opening and closing Or else I would have given 5 star. Besides this overall stay is very nice.

If you have a large group and are deciding between Airbnb’s, this place should be your #1! The hosts are extremely responsive, ensured we were taken care of, and answered all our questions. The property is stunning and is in a great location in La Fortuna. There is a personal concierge Moises who comes to the property and can help with any issues / concerns! I would highly recommend this place for a large group - each bathroom is clean and there are multiple large spaces to eat, sit, and hangout! One of the best Airbnb’s that I have stayed at, and I could not be more grateful to the hosts ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay :)

We had an amazing time at this beautiful and peaceful house. It is exquisite in person and a short drive from many restaurants and locations. Soda La Hormiga is delicious!

Our stay at Shelly’s home was hand down, AMAZING! The home itself is a sight to be seen. We loved the pool and the kids absolutely adores the koi pond in the courtyard. The home is set up for entertainment and family! The view of the volcano from the second floor is breathtaking. Can’t wait to go back.

we were a family of 15 people and stayed in the villa for a week. we had the most amazing and enjoyable stay in the house. there was plenty of space for all of us. its larger in real than in the pictures. the view of the mountain is breathtaking especially at sunset. everything was in great condition. the swimming pool was clean and warm and enjoyed immensely by all. shelly was a super host. she was always available and responded quickly. we felt very safe in the house as there is a proper fence around the house and a big gate. shelly provided the cleaner when we needed even though it was not part of the rental. we have travelled the world and stayed in many houses and we highly highly recommend this house. looking forward to enjoying this house again.

Beautiful house, plenty of room for families, close to everything in La Fortuna!!! Hosts helped us plan EVERYTHING!!! They were AMAZING! We made memories we will never forget!

I loved the house, with all the amenities and very close to the village

Me encantó la casa, con todas las comodidades y muy cerca del pueblo

I wanna thank Shelly for the experience of the very well composed Architecture and Amenities. Thank you for the great stay!

Such a unique, beautiful property! Great views of the volcano when the weather cooperated. Loved our morning walk down to Slothy Coffee, nice it was so close! Beds were comfortable. Loved the outdoor space! Overall felt safe and the area was very peaceful. Quick and easy Uber ride to town!

The house is gorgeous and the hosts are incredible. They were so helpful and really responsive anytime I had a question. 10/10 would recommend!

Our family had such a wonderful time! Thank you so much!! We would absolutely stay here again!! And highly recommend it!! Pura Vida!! 🤗

Beautiful place. Exceptional views. Modern. Great outdoor spaces. Hosts are proactive and very responsive. Easy drive into La Fortuna.

This is an amazing airbnb! Such a wonderful house. Beautiful details and well thought out. Love the pool, second floor deck, comfortable beds and hot showers! Great view of the volcano.  Fast response from Shelly & Luca. We will definitely be coming back!

Host is very responsive and provides clear instructions. Made our stay so pleasant

Shelly and Luca were great hosts with a beautiful and amazing Airbnb. The house matches all the photos listed and it is in a very peaceful area. Perfect for a large group! They were also very friendly and helpful with local recommendations.

Great place, with an insane amount of bathrooms. Nice courtyard layout, gives the bedrooms some privacy. Only issue we had was one of the bedroom doors autolocked twice. One time people were in there and couldn't get out. They responded right away and had someone over to disassemble the lock, so I would assume they already fixed it.

Excellent service Super flexible and friendly Everything was in order

Excelente servicio Súper flexibles y amigables Todo estaba en orden

Remarkable!!! We spent 2 nights and unquestionably, it was our favorite in Costa Rica. The house was beyond our expectations, everything was perfect!!! If you're going through the Fortuna, this is the perfect home for a group. We were 15 people including 9 kids, everyone loved it. The view of the Arenal Volcano with the sunset was magical!!! I received a message from Shelly every day to make sure we were missing nothing and my response was always the same. Everything was perfect!!! We made sure to take care of the house and hope we were up to it, this house deserves the utmost care so that as many people as possible can enjoy it. Pura vida!!!

Remarquable !!! Nous avons passés 2 nuits et incontestablement, se fût notre coup de cœur au Costa Rica. La maison allait au-delà de nos espérances, tout était parfait !!! Si vous passez par la Fortuna, c'est la maison idéale pour un groupe. Nous étions 15 personnes dont 9 enfants, tout le monde a adoré. La vue sur le Volcan Arenal avec le couché du soleil était magique !!! Je recevais un message de Shelly tous les jours pour s'assurer que nous manquions de rien et ma réponse était toujours la même. Tout était parfait !!! Nous avons veillés à prendre soin de la maison et nous espérons avoir été à la hauteur, cette maison mérite le plus grand soin afin qu'un maximum de personne en profite. Pura vida !!!

Amazing place amazing hosts really private and nice property

PROS The home itself is beautiful!Beds are comfortable & it’s located in a rural area. CONS -The house had zero kitchen cleaning, paper towels, ant/bug spray. Had to ask and a neighbor helped. Not sure why it’s not available for guests. -All dishes, utensils, cooking equipment are in outside kitchen & there is only one set. So plan to bring everything inside. -The WiFi was spotty with our group of 10. - House info says if AC is left on when you are gone someone will come inside and turn it off. Very weird. Felt like an invasion of privacy. - If you go #2 you need to throw toilet paper in garbage not in toilet. -We arrived & there was trash, half open wine bottles. -This was the most expensive rental in LF & it was not a value. The owner was not nice when I gave feedback after she asked for feedback. She then blamed me for leaving couch pillows on floor, not flushing a toilet, accused us of stealing toothpaste & 1 washcloth. Very unprofessional & rude. Stay elsewhere or hotel.

We want to extend our gratitude to Shelly for her outstanding support throughout our stay at the Zen House with Volcano View. The property was nothing short of excellent – peaceful, serene, and boasting a magnificent view of the Earnell Volcano. The property built was evident in every detail. The contemporary furniture exuded quality, the outdoor and indoor kitchens were well-equipped, and the dining area provided a delightful space to enjoy meals. The spacious hall easily accommodate big groups of people. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the swimming pool, where we spent most of our time. The outdoor kitchen added to the experience, and the bedrooms provided a cozy retreat at the end of the day. Shelly's warm demeanor and availability added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better host or a more delightful property. Thank you, Shelly, for exceeding our expectations. We look forward to returning in the future.

This is one of the best house you will find in Costa Rica and one of the best AirbnBs we have rented. Great location very close to Fortuna downtown and all the activities. House is brand new and  has an amazing view with lots of common areas to hang out. The house is one of the most thoughtfully designed house you will find.  It is a perfect house for multiple families as each bedroom is a King bedroom, each has ita attached bath which is beautifully designed and kids have their own bedrooms and baths. Pool is amazing and kids had a blast. And host Shelly is extremely responsive and would respond within minutes to help with any issues or any questions. If you are in Costa Rica with family and kids this is the house you should be in.

Just perfect. Sunrise to sunset great views. Comfortable for our large group. Amazing outdoor spaces. Total zen vibes. Very close to the sloth territory which has a great coffee shop (walkable) with very reasonable price and selection for breakfast. Having coffee and food in the outdoors surrounded with bird calls was bliss. The house itself is amazing design perfect for family and friends to hang out and have fun. Very comfortable beds. Bathrooms are plenty and luxurious. We will come back to this place. Shelly the host is very friendly, responsive and honest. Thank you!! Pura Vida!!

Wow such a big house.  I love all the spaces especially out door kitchen and second floor deck! Very peaceful neighbor, beautiful view of the volcano. Love the pool. Shelly is very nice and responsive. We will definitely recommend her house to all my friends.
