Lake Arenal House - Bungalows for Rent in Nuevo Arenal, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Pura Vida is beyond words. The photos don't do the magnificence of this place justice. The house is enormous. All the bedrooms are different but have beautiful outlooks. The beds are very comfortable. The pool and waterfall are gorgeous. There are lots of great spaces to sit and soak up the view. The house is very private and well-appointed. We loved our time in this rare gem of a location. Our group gathered for a spiritual retreat and Pura Vida suited our needs perfectly.

Fabulous stay at the Pura Vida property. Was the perfect location and set up for our group of 5 friends. Spacious main house, gorgeous grounds, spectacular views. The house was clean and kitchen had what we needed to do breakfasts and snacks everyday! Tyler was extremely responsive before and during our stay. He helped to set up our excursions and made introductions to really fantastic local residents for some of our specific requests that included drivers, chef, yoga instructor, massages and adventures in La Fortuna. Tyler and everyone we met were friendly and easy to work with. Overall, the stay exceeded our expectations. The property, the people and the surroundings are great, highly recommend!

We loved our vacation here. It's a piece of heaven. The photos are amazing, but once you get here WOW! We didn't want to leave. Tyler explained about the two reviews and I can guarantee you that what you see in the photos are what you get!! This place was perfect for our family reunion. The kids loved the games room. Kept them busy all day. The pool and waterfall were so much fun. The views were great and staying in the CR rainforest was amazing. The villa was perfect. It was so refreshing cooking in the outside kitchen. Feels like you are in a movie cooking in the rain forest. Tyler was so easy to talk to and responded quickly to all of our questions. We all got on a group call and he set up all of your tours. We did not have to worry about anything. So relaxing. We will be back! Thanks Tyler for the excellent vacation.

This fabulous villa blew our minds. We saw the photos and feel in love with this place. But once we got here Wow!! It was so much better in person. My friends and I were scouting locations for  yoga retreats. This place is perfect. We are definitely coming back here. Tyler was so helpful. Any time I had a question day or night he responded quickly. He planed our vacation for us. His recommendations were perfect!! And the chef he got us was above a 5 star service. Talk about farm to table. I didn't want to leave. The villa was absolutely perfect. We loved relaxing by the pool. The guys loved the games room. I really enjoyed the master suit tub over looking the lake.

Wow, wow, wow… this place was amazing, huge villa with pool, ping pong table, pool table, arcade game, gym just like the pictures!!  The view was amazing from the master bedroom and anywhere on the first floor balcony which is the length of the place. Well worth the price. Tyler is super cool and very helpful and detailed with everything. His recommendations and instructions are exactly what he says. We even hung out one night and introduced us to other locals which ended up turning into another amazing night. And his boat tour was well worth it, my gf n I chose fun and sunset, amazing. Wish i had time to stay longer, I will be back for sure with more people.

This place was amazing. We had a great time here. Tyler explained to us about his other propertie selling and switching over to this new villa. All the photos and descriptions on this listing is %100 what you are booking. Tyler was extremely helpful when we booked. He called us and answered all of our questions about tours and transportation. And hooked us up with a great chef. The food was top notch. I highly recommend renting this great villa.

The house that we booked was a huge house with many bedrooms, pool and waterfall but what we were provided at booking was not the same property. We had to split the family into 2 groups between 2 different properties which was extremely inconvenient. Tyler tried to convince me that the house we booked was not even available and under construction while all the photos on Airbnb were still the photos of the big house with a huge pool. He said that the property was sold to new owners and the management changed but that doesn’t mean that we have to get a different property than what we had booked. I have reached out to AirBNB and opened an investigation to see what I can do but regardless, my trip was ruined due to this matter and the family having to be separated. The worse part was that Tyler wanted to convince me that what I had seen on AirBNB was what I was getting while all the pictures on my account was of the huge house with the pool.

We understand from the manager Jeff we worked with (who was amazing by the way) that the villas have undergone a change in ownership. Most likely due to this we were placed in a villa that was not the one advertised in this listing. However the villa we were given was still lovely and had a beautiful view and a nice little hot tub. Jeff welcomed us so kindly to the villa and was there to provide recommendations and answer any questions we had. He even provided a special gift for us for our honeymoon that we enjoyed very much. Overall our stay here was excellent just different than what we expected.

Lovely villa and location. We thoroughly enjoyed our time relaxing and spending time on the patio. Tyler is a top notch host who goes out of his way to make your stay enjoyable.

We had a great time! Casa Blanca was beautiful and a perfect place for a large group. The grounds and views are spectacular!  Tyler was a great host and provided great recommendations. He went beyond expectations to ensure our time there was enjoyable and relaxing. He even set up a private lake day for us with everything provided for a great day on the water, which the kids absolutely loved and are still talking about!  We highly recommend!

We really enjoyed the stay and Tyler is a great guy, who was always quickly available for everything! Thank you for making this possible and we are looking forward to our next visit! :)

It has a very nice view and in a good location if you want to be near the lake and the Arenal volcano.

Excellent person, very attentive at all times, 100% recommended

Excelente persona muy atento a todas horas, recomendado 100%

Place is Ahhmazing Pictures don’t do it justice. Little slice of heaven. Tyler was amazing anytime I needed anything before or during my stay he was super quick to respond! Cannot wait to go back!

Our family of five (two adults and three teeneagers) LOVED Casablanca.  Breathtaking views of the lake.  We could have stayed on the porch in the rocking chairs the whole time and been delighted.  Plenty of room for the family to spread out throughout the property in the casitas.  We didn't do a lot of cooking, but the kitchen  had everything we needed.  Very clean.  Tyler was a great host and gave fantastic recommendations.  Looking forward to going back!

Tyler was an amazing host. Great communication and help with our stay. Would highly recommend a stay here. The property and the views it offers are incredible and make for a very relaxing trip.

The house was beautiful. Little hard to get to, but it is Costa Rica

Tyler was a great host! Always readily available whenever I messaged him. The location is STUNNING. The lake view was perfect. The lush gardens were beautifully mature and heavenly smelling. Lots of beautiful birds and butterflies. The nights are crisp and days are warm and sunny. I would describe this place as enchanting, tranquil and relaxing. The perfect escape. We had a wonderful stay at this charming house and will absolutely be back again next time we're in Arenal. Gracias por todos!!

A great place to stay right above lake R&R with beautiful views. The hot tub is big and works quite well!!

I’m not sure you could ask for a better view or grounds. This location is unbelievable. Far enough away from la fortuna to avoid the crowds, but really close to the little town of nuevo Arenal to get whatever you need. Do visit a market if possible and bring a few things…especially coffee stuff if you need it. But get there and enjoy one of the finest views of your life! Also listen to Tyler about activities. He knows what he is talking about!!

The property is amazing with views of the lake. Our group had 13 and we had more than enough space. We each had privacy in our own well appointed villa then met up for meals at the main villa. The host, Tyler, was super helpful and attentive. He drove us get groceries one night!  He really knows the area and people and could have saved us money if we had used him to plan our excursions. Next time I will contact him first. I would recommend this property and host.

Tyler was super helpful and gave us lots of info for to do list.

I and my group of friends had a wonderful time in Casa Blanca. We loved the property and the views were spectacular. The place is truly meant for relaxation. In addition, Tyler was a great host. He was not only super responsive but he went above and beyond to help my group plan activities and ensure we had a great stay during our time in Arenal!

5 stars across the board!  Solid place.  We loved the views and in short, everything exceeded our expectations.  Tyler is a down to earth guy and was proactive from the time we booked, to the time we arrived, and to the time we left.  This was my first time using Airbnb (I normally use VRBO in the states) and the experience was perfect considering I'm not in my native country.  Tyler set the bar high.   As far as the place, "WOW' is the best way to describe it.     To Tyler:  Thanks for doing what you do!

Well, this place is absolutely incredible. beautiful views overlooking Arenal, and various houses and guest houses make this a extremely fun stay. We honestly had a hard time making use of all the different houses and guest houses given how many we had access to. Beyond the beautiful view and excellent rooms, our Host Tyler could not have been more helpful. In constant communication prior to the trip to ensure it was easy to find and that we had everything we needed, and just a genuinely nice person that sent a text message daily to ensure we had everything we needed. Overall, despite traveling a lot all over the world, this was easily one of the most incredible Airbnb’s and hosts I’ve had and makes for a tremendous trip at a great value. We will be back

The property is located on a beautiful hillside with spectacular views and landscaping. The multiple chalets on different levels of the property are perfect for a large group that require their own privacy. The units are rustic, but well equipped and each of them have their own spectacular view of the majestic Lake Arenal. This property is perfect for visitors who enjoy bird watching, hiking, photography and other natural activities.

Amazing stay. Beautiful place. You will not be disappointed. Good location, super responsive! Would stay here again.

Amazing views and excellent service! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to enjoy Costa Rica 🇨🇷

This property is absolutely spectacular! the views! THE VIEWS! Nothing like it! We were a big group of 13. 3 families. 7 kids ages 8-16. This place was perfect for us! everyone had their own space, separate from each other in different villas. and we were able to get together on the top villa daily! Absolutely beautiful view of the lake and just so peaceful and breath taking! Its about an hour away from La Fortuna but the quiet space away from all the tourism was perfect for us. we drove out a few days to activities and the drive is beautiful! Def off the beaten path! you will get the real vibe of what its like to be a Local in Costa Rica! We loved everything about this property! Don't think twice, book it now! I cannot wait to go back again. I will dream of the views for a very very long time till I go back. Tyler was great! easy to contact and quick to respond. He helped us book all activities! Thanks Tyler! Also, the housekeeper was much needed, its a huge space so we really appreciated having her daily! I highly recommend you do the same! LOVE LOVE LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE! PURA VIDA!

Beautiful houses and amazing views of the lake! Tyler was so easy to communicate with and gave good recommendations for the area. The pictures are spot on and it is such an amazing, relaxing place. We could have stayed longer! A few things to have a heads up on, the kitchen is pretty bare bones (no bowls, paper towels, or salt & Pepper) and the main hot tub is on an hour timer warming up from cold. It doesn't stay warm if you leave for the day and takes 2-3 hrs to heat up. We rented both 2 bedroom villas for 8 people and had a wonderful time. The grounds are so beautiful and location is great.

Fabulous house with so much space. We spent many hours on the patio spotting all the amazing birds in the area. Walking distance to an amazing restaurant called the Gingerbread, amazing food! Short drive to the hanging bridges at Fortuna but a nice secluded spot , very private and amazing well kept gardens. Tyler was on hand for anything we needed. Would definitely return.

WOW!! This place is fabulous. We came with our family of 14 people and were very pleased with this airbnb. The view is absolutely gorgeous! We never wanted to leave. There are tucans outside your window during the day and colorful tree frogs in the trees at night. We had our coffee sitting in hammocks and some cocktails in the jacuzzis. It was built with a lot of thought behind it and it was stylish. Tyler was super helpful and hooked us up with whitewater rafting, hikes to waterfalls and a really good recommendation for hot springs in the area. I highly recommend this place for anyone coming to Lake Arenal.

Casa Blanca has gorgeous views to Lake Arenal. I've never seen anything quite like it. I'm quite certain that if I lived there, I'd spend all of my time on the enormous back porch. We happened  to be there over New Year's Eve, and saw a great fireworks show, just by stepping out there. The living spaces and bathrooms are quite large, especially the stone showers. Best of all, Tyler was extremely helpful, including his recommendation for our zipline adventure. Parque Arenal Mundo Adventura offered an experience that my family will never forget. On a side note, I highly recommend The "Wurst"  (spelling?) Restaurant, down the hill. The owner is warm, gracious, and has an infectious laugh. Her food was delicious!

We had the opportunity to rent the whole property which was truly an amazing experience. The property is extraordinarily beautiful and so very peaceful. Go to Tinajas Arenal to have a wonderful meal on the lake, just a 8-10 minute drive from Casa Blanca.

One of the most beautiful Airbnb's I have ever stayed in. The lake sunset views were gorgeous and the jungle landscaping was quite stunning.  The rare birds, horses next door, fruit trees and howler monkeys we saw were most definitely awesome suprises.  Highly recommended to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

One of the best Airbnb’s we have ever stayed in. The house is awesome, very comfy bed and full kitchen. Great views of the lake. The hottub and patio were amazing, great place to chill out and relax. Our only regret was only staying 2 nights, will definitely stay longer next time!

This is an incredible home - one of our all time favorites! If you are looking for anything that falls under romantic, exciting, relaxing, or a combination - this is the perfect place for you!

My only regret is that  I couldnt  stay longer. We booked and paid for a night in a fancy hotel which we canceled after seeing Casa Blanca because we couldnt imagine anything nicer.

Paradise!!! This was absolutely the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed in and I wouldn’t hesitate to book it the next time I’m in the area. It far exceeded our expectations. Love love love this house, the hot tub, the view, all I can say is wow!!! The host Tyler was also great at hooking us up with tons of advice/adventures and places to go!

Talk about an amazing view!!! Hands down our favorite out of the four places we stayed in costa. Tyler was an amazing help!! Set up our hot springs trip for us, had fishing charge available, had plenty of local tip and was on call whenever we needed help. We will definitely be goin back here...most likely sooner than later!!

Beautiful place, everything is almost perfect! An exceptional view. A clean and comfortable place. It was a second time for me and I would go back again in a heartbeat.

Un endroit superbe, tout est quasi parfait! Une vue exceptionnel. Un endroit propre et confortable. C’était une deuxième fois pour moi et j’y retournerai encore sans hésiter.

This is an absolutely beautiful property! The house is gorgeous. The beds were very comfortable. The porch is a wonderful place to have coffee in the morning. The hot tub is wonderful anytime of the day. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai and enjoying the view, which is amazing. You will not want to leave this beautiful view! 

Stunning setting, youll be hard pressed to leave the back lanai!  One of best lake views on earth right here.

You cannot go wrong if you want seclusion in paradise. Perfection is exactly what Marc’s place is. The homes are beautiful also in and of themselves. The view and natural beauty is amazing. You can drive through the jungle to Arenal and all the attractions if you like or just hang out and take it all in with your friends or family. I only regret not staying longer will be back.

The reservation was canceled 146 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
