5BR Villa in La Fortuna

Timothy

Excellent, 2 weeks ago

This place is great, house is huge and beautiful. I definitely would recommend. They are very fast with responses as well and help you out with whatever you need.

We enjoyed the very spacious house, each with our own private bathroom. Washer-dryer and BBQ are far away and outside, which is a bit annoying when it rains a lot. There was nothing missing in the kitchen

This house is awesome ! We loved the huge kitchen , living room ,pool area and beautiful yard with flowers everywhere . The individual AC units in the bedrooms kept us very cool. We enjoyed every tour we took : Tabacon hot springs , Mistico hanging bridges , safari river cruise , sunrise bird watching and La Fortuna waterfall ! Our host suggested La Chifa ( Peruvian restaurant) . It was so good we went 3 times ! Great place ! Great area ! Book here .. you won’t regret it .

We throughly enjoyed our stay. Felt at home right away. hosts were great in commuicating and very attentive. quick and cheap cab rides to town. will stay again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are truly happy to hear that you felt at home right away and that you enjoyed your stay at Villa Montreal. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we really appreciate your kind words about our communication and attentiveness. We’re also glad the location worked well for you and that getting into town was easy and convenient. Thank you again for choosing Villa Montreal. We would absolutely love to welcome you back anytime! Warm regards.

The home is spacious and offers a view of Arenal, but unfortunately that is where the positives end. The kitchen was not clean, had a broken faucet, and there were gobs of ants present daily. It was also poorly equipped—no ice maker, hot pads, baking pans, measuring cups or spoons, cookie sheets, serving bowls, trays, or platters, no steak knives, and only two broken butcher knives. The pool table was nice but no light above it and no chalk. Outdoor pool furniture was broken and unusable, and the hot tub shown in the listing had been removed. The “well-stocked kitchen” and games were very limited and not as advertised. The pool is about 3’ deep so fun for kids but not swimmable. Overall, the cleanliness, functionality, and amenities were vastly lacking and did not justify the cost of this stay.

Nancy, It's impossible to imagine how we've had 20 plus 5-star reviews and you leave 2-stars without coming to the conclusion that the problem is with you, not the property. You managed to create a narrative to get a maximum refund. I hope it was worth it for you. We will continue to work hard to take care of our guests and I'm completely confident we'll receive 5-stars from our next guests. Best of luck to you and your family.

We had a delightful stay at Douglas' place! It was incredibly spacious and clean. Exactly as described in the listing. We had everything we needed, and more! The pool, grilling area, and game tables were super. And the house is very close to the many activities in the area. Douglas was incredibly helpful with local suggestions and advice, both before and during the stay. Was also really prompt and helpful with a few minor questions we had during the stay. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would love to stay here again when we are in the area!

Host Response

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Ebbing! We are delighted to hear that you had such a "super" time enjoying the pool, game tables, and grilling area, and it’s great to know the space was exactly what you needed for a clean and comfortable stay. We truly enjoyed providing those local tips to help you make the most of the nearby activities, and we've already double-checked the minor items you mentioned during your stay to ensure everything remains in tip-top shape for your next visit. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we can’t wait to welcome you back the next time you’re in the area!

The stay at the villa hosted by Douglas was excellent. Great place, well decorated and very spacious. A highly recommended place to stay. Pura vida!

Host Response

Thank you so much, Boguslaw! We’re thrilled to hear your stay at Douglas’s villa was excellent and that you enjoyed the spacious, well-appointed space. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime—pura vida!

Doug, the owner, and Brenda, the host, were phenomenal! Their communication and service were truly top-notch. They provided us with plenty of recommendations for activities around the area as well as great restaurants. The house was beautiful and comfortable, and everyone enjoyed the pool, billiard table, and foosball. Nonetheless, we all had a great time staying at Doug’s place. Doug, you are easily one of the best and most proactive owners/hosts on Airbnb. And Brenda, thank you for the best zip line experience we ever had! Thank you both for making our stay in Costa Rica memorable. Keep up the good work, guys!

Host Response

Thank you so much, Mae Anne! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your group had such a memorable stay and enjoyed the house, pool, games, and all the local recommendations. It means a lot to know that Doug and Brenda’s hosting made your trip so special — we truly appreciate your kind words and would be delighted to welcome you back anytime!

We enjoyed very much our visit, the house was everything we needed and more! We loved that they gave us some snacks to enjoy while we were there We only had a little problem with one of the bedrooms that was leaking water from the ceiling, even though we understand that the weather is mostly rainy in that area and it is something that goes beyond the control of the owner it was an inconvenience move from one bedroom to another in the middle of the night because the water was soaking the mattress, so hopefully they can fix it soon! But otherwise we really enjoyed our time together at the house

Host Response

When it rains in the rainforest sometimes it really rains hard! I hate it that we had a roof leak. The house is only three years old and we just had the roof sealed in the fall. I am confident we have that problem solved. I’m glad you guys had a great time.

Fantastic house for large group. Pool and outdoor patio with games and grill were great! Kitchen was very well stocked with every appliance you could think of. Really enjoyed our stay in La Fortuna!

Host Response

Thank you so much, Lindsey! We’re thrilled to hear that the home was a great fit for your group and that you enjoyed the pool, outdoor patio, and fully stocked kitchen—it’s wonderful to know those spaces added to your experience in La Fortuna. We’re glad everything met your needs, and we’d love to host you again in the future.

Douglas' place was the perfect location for our family reunion! If you are looking for a place to entertain, and be entertained, this is it! Pool table, ping pong, fooseball, pool, lounge, movie space, board games & even karoake! We had so much fun cooking, playing & hanging out here. The space is huge as well, we were 10 people and it never felt crowded anywhere. Beds super comfortable and rooms nice and cold from the ac's. Brenda, the manager was super helpful in all aspects. We would book here again in a second!

Very nice stay at this house located on the edge of La Fortuna (about 10 min by car). The house was extremely large, with a multitude of entertainment (pool table, ping pong table, mini soccer field, foosball table, karaoke), two large covered terraces and a secure field enclosure. The house provided all bath/pool towels, soaps/shampoo, washer-dryer, air conditioning. Although it rained every day during our stay, we were even able to briefly observe the Arenal volcano from the top of the huge balcony of the master bedroom (we stayed during the rainy season). Tip: bring aluminum foil with you to put on the BBQ grills (they've been used). Otherwise, beyond that, the house was great (we were 7 people).

Thank you so much! It was a wonderful home! We had a lovely time and did so many fun things! The only thing I would say is maybe get some new ping pong balls and some chalk for the pool table sticks. But that’s it!! It was a perfect house for our family! The speaker’s that you left was such a nice touch also! Thank you again!

Host Response

Thanks for the wonderful review. You guys were great! When I left there three weeks ago, there were 10 ping-pong balls. The birds must’ve gotten him. LOL. We will get some more and find a way to find some pool stick chalk.

We really enjoyed the house and the amenities! Location was about 10 minutes from the city, we felt very safe and secure. If anything, I just wish we were closer to the city and not have to Uber everywhere. The gift basket was absolutely awesome, snacks, wine ect. We appreciate that!! Overall great experience. I'm really mad I forgot to bring my college souvenir to leave at the house! That was pretty cool! Thanks for sharing your home with us!!

Doug’s place was a nice stay for our family , although the washing machine was a manual and it required a lot more steps than a normal washing machine which for a family of our size took a while and it was time consuming . The sink was down and there was a big hole on the roof of the master bedroom which was really loud when the rain came Other wise the home was spacious and updated throughout, our kids enjoyed the pool and pool table . Thanks again

Host Response

Thanks for the recommendation about the washing machine. It’s brand new, but unfortunately, our North American guests don’t like it much. My wife doesn’t like it either. We are going to change it out right away. The roof was repaired as soon as you left. We have had a tremendous amount of rain.

The pictures do not do this home justice! The house is amazing, and offers so much for families. The pool was refreshing, outdoor BBQ area fabulous for family meals. The home is large and bedrooms very comfortable - matresses and pillows both! The kitchen is well equiped for cooking and preparing food for your adventures. There is so much to do around the area - which made this location a great jump off point to spend the day adventuring. The pool towels and family games are also a nice touch. The Tv's in each bedroom and main room have streaming options so when you are exhausted from a day of hiking etc. you can enjoy some chill time. Douglas - owner/host, was very responsive and provided a ton of suggestions for exploring the area and also restaurants in La Fortuna. We will definately be back, with our whole family. We felt very safe and the home is secured by a large gate and its very private. You won't be disappointed.

Host Response

Leanne, what a wonderful post. You guys are incredible and I hope you will come back and see us again.

This home was amazing. We enjoyed all the amenities which included a karaoke machine, pool, soccer field and so much more! The kitchen is well equipped for cooking or a BBQ outside. Location is close to downtown with all the local restaurants. Area of home was very safe and secure with a gate. Host was very responsive and assisted quickly with all questions and needs. Definitely would recommend for large groups with children. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us. 10 out of 10!!

Nice house / the pictures are accurate. All was predominantly good with the stay - do note that this house is located outside the city proper (would double check with host - we were a bit disappointed, as the listing shows it right downtown; it’s actually 12 minutes by car south of town). The pool area is nice and there’s plenty of space for a large group. Macaws flying overhead often were always fun to watch, and the area is generally quiet.

Excellent, 1 year ago

10/10! We have stayed in many very nice airbnbs over the years and by far this is the most amazing one! Clean, beautiful, sleek and modern. It was extremely luxurious and extravagant. 3 day stay was not enough! Gorgeous house with endless activities to look forward to after a day of adventure- Indoor pool table, ping pong, fuse ball, soccer and badminton court, multi colored lightening, speakers, chandeliers, bathrooms the size of bedrooms, walk in showers, well stocked kitchen. This house has it all and pictures don't even come close to doing it justice. A quiet, safe location that is a quick few minutes to downtown as well as a little convenience store within walking distance. We saw Scarlett Macaws fly over the property and many other exotic birds. Nice outdoor balcony overlooking Arenal Volcano to watch the sunsets. Would definitely stay here again.
