Casa Turquesa
 Luxury Retreat in La Fortuna - Houses for Rent in San Carlos, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica

Loved our stay here. Very spacious, comfortable rooms, and conveniently located a short drive from all the sights. We were traveling with our two young kids and the space was especially good for our family. The pool was awesome!

Casa Turquesa was a nice place to stay near La Fortuna. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the pool was a big hit with the kids — since we visited in March, the water was already a perfect 82-85°F without needing extra heat. We did encounter a few issues: there was a large smoky fire burning organic matter and cardboard on the property upon our arrival, and both the oven and the microwave were not functional. However, Carolina was very responsive. She immediately sent someone to extinguish the fire and had the microwave replaced halfway through our stay. While the oven remained broken, we appreciated the quick communication and the late check-out she provided. The house is right on the highway, which is very convenient for driving to daily activities around La Fortuna, but also expect traffic noise over “nature sounds”. Overall, an excellent home base for daily activities and dining in La Fortuna.

The pictures don’t do this house justice. It is absolutely amazing. It was extremely clean and in a great location. I hope to come back some time!

The reason we rated a 4/5 is because in the description the home says it has a heated pool. The owner messaged us prior to our visit and told us we would have to pay $30 per day in order for it to be heated. We did pay for the heated pool due to the weather while we were there, however we were disappointed that there was an extra cost. 

Pros: It is a large, beautiful home and property. The kids loved seeing frogs and geckos around the yard in the evening. The kitchen is well stocked. We loved staying in this home

Cons: having to pay for the heated pool. The oven needs to be lit with a lighter and primed for a long time to work. The microwave also doesn’t work. 

Overall we would definitely stay here again. The cons are easily fixable for future people staying.

Carolina was responsive from Day 1. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we could not have picked a better spot or host. This beautiful home is gated with both a code for the gate and a code for the home. We felt so secure and the home is extremely convenient to everything in La Fortuna. Carolina answered all of our questions, provided great recommendations and instructions. One of the best Airbnb experiences we have had.

This place was really pretty and had alot of space!  We felt really safe and Carolina hooked us up with a concierge service that was super helpful.  The Bluetooth speaker by the pool didn’t work and one shower with 7 people was tough but we would definitely stay again.

Hi Kim, I’m glad you had a great time at Casa Turquesa, I’m sorry the speaker didn’t work, I didn’t know but we will address it right away, I’m not sure what you mean by one shower, there’s a shower in each of the 2 bathrooms, one upstairs and another one downstairs.

We were super happy with our stay at Casa Turquesa! The location is great for all the sites, including Fortuna Waterfall, Eden Chocolate Tour, Mistico Hanging Bridges, etc. The house had an incredible uniqueness to it with plenty of space for us and our 2 kids. It included towels, hairdryers, washer/dryer, games, WiFi, and the rest of the standard amenities. The pool area was exactly as pictured and the gated entrance gives you a nice feeling of privacy and security. The only note that I would make for others is that it is right on the busy road, so if car noise bothers you it’s something to consider. Us on the other hand slept like babies in the very comfortable beds! If we were to go back to La Fortuna, we would stay here again without looking at any other location. We’ll have great memories to look back upon thanks to this unique home.

Beautiful place, location and pool is amazing as well as the outdoor kitchen area. We would stay here again. we loved it!

Thank you Jenn, we would love to have you back at Casa Turquesa!!

We really loved our stay at Casa Turquesa! It is just a couple km from downtown La Fortuna. We had a car, so it was 5min a snowy anywhere we wanted to go. There is tons to do around the area and lots of restaurants close by. The backyard has tall trees and landscaping so you get a nice private feeling. The outside space is really well done. We loved the pool and waterfall. We didn’t even stay long enough to really take advantage of the bar, grill, and outside amenities. The covered parking was great for us to be able to load and unload out of the rain (which is very common in the area). The layout of the house is so fun! It was perfect for our family of 6. Plenty of space and areas for people to have alone time as well as gathering spaces. Carolina was responsive to our needs and did a great job hosting. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Thanks for choosing Casa Turquesa!  It will be a pleasure to host you again soon!!

Casa Turquesa was as amazing as the listing! Spacious, fun and extremely well decorated. Every room was colorful and playful. We also enjoyed time in the pool, sitting at the swim up bar. The recommendations on the chalk board were incredible helpful as this was our first time in the area. We would definitely recommend staying here!

We are delighted to have host you and your family, we hope to see you again soon!!

Casa Turquesa was so much fun! It was a beautiful location, close to town, but also private and quieter.  The outdoors space was incredible too. We loved the pool, hammock, and hanging chairs. The recommendations she left for us were all so good. We especially loved Soda La  Hormiga and Empanadas Argentinas. My family all said they were sad to leave and would absolutely stay there again!

Thanks for your lovely review, we can't wait to host you again!!

This house was amazing and exceeded our expectations! It was beautiful inside and out! The host made food recommendations and each one was delicious.  Our vacation was perfect and we would recommend this property to anyone!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay, please com stay with us again soon!!

Location is very private and 5 min away from town. Pool and swings were excellent. Beds comfortable and a/c in rooms and one living room worked great. No central air. Listing does not disclose cameras throughout including pool area but immediately rotated the camera facing the pool away giving our family privacy. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Bring or buy spices, kitchen garbage bags and additional paper towels. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again.

Thanks for your review Idanys, yes, we are in a nice location, away from the beautiful chaos of a touristy town, but at the same time close to everything. No central air is listed, we have the split system with ac units in every bedroom and living/dining/kitchen area. UPDATE: There's a spice rack on the counter with all spices needed to prepare nice meals, we leave extra garbage bags in cabinet under sink, we provide a full roll of paper towels per stay. The cameras in the exterior of the property and are there solely for liability/safety purposes, they are not monitored at all.

We loved our stay at Casa Turquesa, the home and surroundings were beautiful. Its just a short taxi ride into the main part of town (Uber was incredibly cheap) where there's lots of shops, restaurants and activities/tours. The host was responsive and provided great recommendations for places to visit - The Red Frog Cafe and Tamarindo Chill were 2 of our favourites. The swimming pool was a god send in the hot afternoons and the air con works very well. As everything is so close by (uber only charges a few dollars to get anywhere) we found you are far better dealing with each company directly rather than going through an agency. We thoroughly recommend staying at Casa Turquesa - it's a beautiful home in lush surroundings with lots of wildlife to watch and enjoy.

It was a pleasure to host you and your group at Casa Turquesa Jennifer.  We are glad to know you lived the property, please come back soon, we would love to welcome you again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The host was very responsive, and even let us drop our bags off early at the house while it was still being cleaned. We met the cleaning staff and they couldn't have been nicer.  We enjoyed the pool on the first night & found all the kitchen equipment we needed. The location was great making it super easy to get to all of the restaurants we wanted to visit. We felt secure at the house and would stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay, the pool area is amazing and the outdoor kitchen dining area was a great addition. The place was clean and the pictures were as advertised. Just outside of the town of la fortuna so not to far to go for groceries, dining or to book tours, Would definitely stay here again.

We are delighted by your review, thanks for the feedback, it was a pleasure to host you and your group, and would love to welcome you again in the future!

We stayed for four days at Casa Turquesa. We had a car and explored from there. The pool area is great - lovely pool with a waterfall and heater if needed. The house is large with different seating areas and 3 bedrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking meals. Carolina is a great host and responded quickly to our need for the propane bottles to be filled. We would happily rent from Carolina again in the future!

This was the cherry on top for our trip. Amazing place, SUPER CLEAN, and any questions we had the host responded within minutes for us.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Casa Turquesa, we would love to host you again, come back soon!

Our stay at Casa Turquesa was wonderful! The house was larger than expected, very clean and well stocked with all the essentials. Features like the large doors that open up to a beautiful yard with great landscaping, beautiful flowers and an amazing pool made you feel like you were at a resort. Other reviews mentioned that the house is located right on a busy road and it is, but the noise isn't distracting at all (I didn't even notice it inside the house) and the walled yard and large plants/trees makes it feel very private. Carolina was very responsive to my questions throughout the stay and left great recommendations for local restaurants and activities which was a great touch. We will definitely be back!

Thanks for your lovely review Kristopher, we are happy your stay at Casa Turquesa was pleasant!  We would love to host you again!

We loved our stay at Casa Torquesa! beautiful house plenty of room. great pool area with the outside grill. Kitchen is small but perfect for cooking a meal. The best part was the location. LaFortuna is full of things too do, and this was 15 and 20 minutes from everything! 3 min. from town so we could get groceries and dinner out. we would definitely stay here again.

Spacious place minutes from town, very clean, great pool, peaceful location.

Thank you for being understanding and patient.  We will be happy to give you a discount if you choose to give us another shot in the future.  The issues are being addressed as we speak.  Thanks again, I hope your son is doing better.

Beautiful and fun place. Very unique and spacious.  Pool was great; house was very clean and comfortable . Would absolutely stay here again.

This place was spectacular! Beautiful, clean house. The pool was amazing as was the yard! We saw a large iguana that came to visit us in the morning and there are beautiful horses in the next yard over! Anything I needed and all questions were answered fairly quickly! I highly recommend this place!

A great spot to relax after a long day of adventure. Casa Tourquesa is located centrally to a lot of amazing day drives while still being close to town and feeling remote. Carolina even helped arrange 4 massages for us at the house! Would definitely recommend this place for a stay.

This was such a great stay. The house was very clean and the surrounding farms were very entertaining. Kitchen had very minimal prep space but had great kitchen basics and perfect for those planning on eating out a lot. Very easy to get in and out of the house/front gate.

The house is even more beautiful in person! Very easy to get to town and Carolina was an extremely helpful and responsive host. Would definitely stay again.

Very nice place! We loved the swimming pool and the garden. 5 min drive to Fortuna with. A couple of minor issues that were immediately fixed

We had an amazing  time at casa turquesa! The pool area was straight out of a dream  and the house was spotless.  We also want to commend the decorations ! It felt like we were staying in a royal lodge!  The Verandas were awesome (we enjoyed them so much we wish there had been chairs to sit on). The water went out on the last morning of our stay and Carolina was immediately reachable and had someone come by directly to resolve the issue. All in all it is a super convenient location, especially if you are interested in wildlife tours or plan to spend a lot of time in downtown la fortuna.  We would love to come back !!

Negative points: The road: it's right on the road and you can really hear the cars and trucks that use that busy road from the bedrooms. Definitely not an oasis. The kitchen: it's not really usable to cook meals. Not enough prep space and no hot water at the tap.The only hot water throughout the house is from the two showers and the bath. No hot water at any sinks. The furnishing : sofas were pretty uncomfortable and everything looked like it was made for giants. The sinks in the update bathroom were not really usable for an average height person, let alone a child. Positive points: Close to town. The pool was a lot of fun and heated so you could spend a lot of time in it. The swim up bar adds a nice fun touch. Great for relaxing after a busy day exploring the area. Overall we had a good time but I am not sure I would recommend the place to another family. It's probably more suited to a group of adults who want a place to sleep and have fun but will make use of the many restaurants in town.

Thanks for the feedback Elodie. The house sits on the main road and it’s disclosed in the property description, noise is relative and everyone will have a different opinion. My past guests have complimented the house design, furnishings and comfort, so again this is relative and everyone will have a different opinion, but seems like the majority of our guests have LOVED Casa Turquesa. The kitchen is well equipped and there’s enough space to cook meals for up to a group of 8, and you can confirm that in previous reviews, but again, it’s a matter of perspective. Im glad you enjoyed the pool and your stay. Pura Vida!!

Casa Turquesa was the perfect house. Very close to all we wanted to see and do in La Fortuna. Caroline was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions we had. The property is beautiful and exceeded our expectations.

The house is beautiful, it is very well located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood but close to downtown and commerce.  Carolina was attentive that we were missing nothing.

La casa es hermosa, está muy bien ubicada en barrio muy tranquilo y seguro pero cerca del centro y del comercio.  Carolina estuvo atenta que nada nos faltara.

Carolina is the sweetest and her place was soo much more stunning and luxurious in person! The house is HUGE and definitely made my mother feel like she was a Jungle Queen on her 60th birthday. The interior design is very well thought out and high-end. The backyard pool is beautiful. Perfect family getaway place. I would definitely recommend and return to this accommodation again.

The house and property are beautifully decorated and cared for. The pool and grill area is very nicely laid out to relax and read a book or just take in the sun. La Fortuna is a great place to use as a base to explore Costa Rica from and the tours that we booked picked us up at the house.

What a great home. Perfect for groups and families. The host is very responsive to any needs. They even helped set up a spa treatment that came to home. Amazing. Property is in a great location. Close to town and major attractions and adventures, but far enough away to be an oasis. Would definitely return.

Carolina was such an amazing host. Very quick to communicate and respond. The  house was amazing, clean, spacious and everything my family wanted. Great location as well!
