Casa Colibri Emerald La Fortuna - Villas for Rent in La Fortuna, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

Great house, very modern. Close to downtown. Loved the pool.

Our young family spent 4 nights here recently and it was magical. Private and secure while close to all the amenities of La Fortuna. The house itself was perfect, but the deck and pool were the highlight. Sitting out in the early morning with coffee and binoculars and spotting iguanas, toucans, hummingbirds, bats, etc was awesome. We even found a two toed sloth and her baby in a tree close by and enjoyed checking in on her throughout the trip. The shallow area of the pool was great for our kiddos too! Would definitely stay again.

Our stay at Casa Colibri Esmeralda was absolutely perfect. The hosts were very responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. The home is absolutely stunning and pristine. The outdoor patio and pool are the perfect oasis. Luis, the groundskeeper would alert us when he found sloths or other wildlife on the property so we could check it out.  Only a short drive into La Fortuna. We absolutely loved this property and would stay here again, in a heartbeat. Thank you Arnaldo, for the amazing stay!

We have stayed at a lot of Airbnb‘s and this is the best Airbnb we have ever booked. If you are coming to La Fortuna, you couldn’t possibly pick a more perfect place to stay. It is just about 15 minutes outside of town, there is a local market and pizza place with one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had, and the host helped book us on a family style cooking lesson experience with a local business owner who gave us one of the best experiences we’ve ever had on any vacation ever. We rented a car and were able to get to all of our excursions within about a half hour, but the driving is super easy and the roads are great. The house and the grounds are amazing and were modern and clean beyond our wildest dreams. We even saw a sloth from our patio and lots of birds and other critters! Plus, there is a washer and dryer and all the amenities you wouldn’t normally expect at an Airbnb. 10 out of 10 and maybe even more.

A perfect stay at Arnaldo's  place. The villa was immaculate, spacious and extremely comfortable. The outdoor area with the pool area/hot tub was stunning. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, listening to the peaceful sounds of nature. The villa had everything we needed and more! It is located about a 15 minute drive to La Fortuna. Arnaldo was quick to respond to any questions we had. I would not hesitate to book this beautiful airbnb again! Thanks for the lovely stay:)

We had a great stay. The house and surroundings were wonderful for a 3-night stay in La Fortuna. The pool/hot tub and outdoor patio were the highlight of the home and is where we spent all our time when we weren’t sleeping or engaged in the many activities La Fortuna is famous for. The location was ideal - peaceful countryside only a short drive from town. The kitchen is well-equipped with updated appliances - so grateful to have coffee available for use and ice in the freezer. The en-suite bedrooms with 1 King bed and 2 Queen beds were perfect for our family of 4 with adult kids. We highly recommend!

Amazing host, we totally enjoyed our stay! Would book again. Thank you!!

I could not have picked a better place to stay on our trip to La Fortuna. The property is really special, and I wish we had stayed longer just to enjoy it. We saw howler monkeys in the trees behind the pool, and the groundskeeper came to show us a mommy and baby sloth in the rambutan orchard! The pool and hot tub were so relaxing, especially with the surroundings.  We were worried about the distance from some of the activities we had planned, but it was so worth the drive!

What a wonderful house! It is exactly as described in the photos, the pool is beautiful, surrounded by trees where we could hear howler monkeys, see a toucan fly, and even observe a sloth! Everything is clean and superbly equipped, and the rooms are spacious. I definitely recommend this place. We will gladly come back.🥰! Thank you so much to Maripaz and Arnaldo for hosting us!!

Quelle merveilleuse Maison ! Elle correspond exactement à la description des photos, la piscine est magnifique, entourée d’arbres où nous avons pu entendre les singes hurleurs, vu voler un toucan, et observer même un paresseux! Tout est propre et superbement, équipée, les pièces sont spacieuses. Je recommande vraiment cet endroit. nous reviendrons volontiers.🥰! Merci infiniment à Maripaz et Arnaldo pour leur accueil!!

Amazing stay! Beautiful and SO clean, literally spotless . So comfortable and peaceful .incredible hosts . Best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in.

The Airbnb host was extremely accommodating. He was able to help out with transportation to and from the airport as well as give healthy advice which was much needed as first time travelers to Costa Rica. The actual Airbnb itself was extremely clean and beautiful to be in.

We experienced an EXCEPTIONAL birthday celebration in this Arnaldo's beautiful home. Upon arrival we were greeted with a fun "Happy Birthday" sign and immediately felt "spoiled." The home is lovely. The outdoor space is amazing. And the fellowhip we enjoyed around the pool was so fun! And just as we were leaving, the groundskeeper showed us two sloths. BONUS!

It is a beautiful home. Arnaldo and Maripaz were welcoming and super helpful with information about the area and helping book tours. Very clean and organized. Definitely recommend.

This place is beautiful, the amenities are excellent & we had a wonderful stay. The friendly pool guy comes early so get up if you want him to show you the sloth as they are difficult to see without someone pointing them out. There whole experience was amazing would 100% recommend this property.

We had a lovely stay! It is absolutely beautiful. It is very spacious and the pool was so nice. They had a pool guy come clean it every morning which was great. Overall would recommend, very private and just like the photos.

Wow! This place is amazing! We have stayed in a bunch of AirBnbs in Costa Rica, and this one is right up there at the top of the list. The house is immaculate and well-built. Comfortable bed, pillows and linens. Strong AC throughout. Great bathrooms/showers. Pool, hot tub and pool deck were fantastic. For the first 4 days, the trees just behind the pool were filled with howler monkeys, and there were two sloths chilling in the rambutan orchard just outside the front door during our entire stay. The house is situated on a beautiful little farm that we enjoyed walking the dog around each morning. In addition to the monkeys and sloths, we saw more exotic birds than we can count; toucans, oropendolas, aracaris, crested caracaras, and colorful tanagers were daily sights. All in all, it was a wonder luxurious stay! Can’t recommend it enough.

Without a doubt, when I return to La Fortuna, I will stay at this property. It's beautiful, quiet, clean, and just like the pictures. The pool is spectacular, and the jacuzzi is a delight. Arnaldo helped me with anniversary amenities, and it was beautiful! 100% recommended.

Sin duda alguna cuando vuelva a La Fortuna me quedaré en este alojamiento. Es precioso, tranquilo, limpio e igual que las fotos. La piscina es espectacular y el jacuzzi una ricura. Arnaldo me colaboró con amenidades de aniversario y quedó hermoso! 100% recomendado

Had a lovely stay, house is beautiful. Really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Everything was really clean, the kitchen has everything you need in it. Short drive into La Fortuna, and can easily catch an Uber if needed. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Absolutely amazing! Completely immersed in nature with beautiful accommodations! You dont want to leave to go do the local attractions because you have everything you need right at your unit. You can even watch sloths straight from the pool /jacuzzi! 🦥  Hands down would stay again & recommend. ❤️

We loved staying at this villa in La Fortuna. It was in a great location away from people enough, but also close enough to drive to popular local spots. I didn’t think a hottub would feel nice because Costa Rica was so hot. I am SO glad that the tub is an amenity. We used the hottub and pool every single night. My only heads up (that the owner can’t control) is that there are giant bugs the size of your hand that are attracted to the pool and hottub. And the master bedroom has a little annoying friend that throws its body onto the door everyday starting at 5:30AM until 8AM😅 was cool the first day. Annoying for the rest.

This was my second time staying at this property. The place is amazing. I love it. It is a little bit outside of town, about a ten minute drive. But the seclusion and property are worth that small drive. It is also very clean and well maintained. Arnaldo is very responsive and helpful. My family loved the pool. Also, major bonus our first morning we saw about 15 howler monkeys in the tree behind the house and there is at least one sloth that lives in the trees on the property. Last but not least, check out is easy.

We loved our stay and wished it was longer! It’s quite convenient from La Fortuna. We loved the pool, backyard and access to the grounds. We all fell in love with the wildlife and livestock - especially the friendly sheep! The groundskeeper showed us a sloth one morning too! The home was perfect for our family of four!

We loved our stay in this house! The outdoor area is beautiful; we were able to see toucans and lots of other birds there! There is also a sloth on the property that you can go and see very close to the house. Really well located for going to do activities around Arenal and then coming back to the calm. We recommend it without hesitating.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cette maison! L’espace extérieur est magnifique, nous avons pu y voir des toucans et pleins d’autres oiseaux! Il y a également un paresseux sur le terrain que l’on peut aller voir très près de la maison. Vraiment bien situé pour aller faire des activités autour d’Arenal et revenir dans le calme par la suite. On recommande sans hésiter!!

Very nice place! The jacuzzi built into the pool is great! The pool is cleaned often. We saw a sloth and some toucans right on this property. It’s a nice short drive into downtown La Fortuna, but far enough outside of town to feel more private. Check out Soda La Montañita just up the road! The hosts were very responsive and helpful!

We had the most wonderful stay! There are so many amazing things about this property. Where do I begin - modern house and furnishings, private pool & hot tub, fully stocked kitchen, convenient location, pool guy who points out sloths on the property every morning…It was peaceful, serene, and so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return again someday.

We enjoyed our stay here. There was a good amount of supplies for making dinners and grilling out. We weren’t expecting the hot tub to turn off at 4 every day but we still enjoyed the time we had using it.

The place is beautiful, we definitely keep this place on our favorite list!

L endroit est magnifique , nous gardons assurément cet endroit sur notre liste de coup de cœur !

This place was beautiful. We loved everything about it. Quiet and Serene. The private pool and hot tub were amazing!

We had a great time at Casa Esmeralda. The outdoor living space was amazing and the house had everything we needed. Conveniently located close to La Fortuna but tucked away with enough privacy to enjoy the quiet natural settings. The staff even took the time to show us a sloth they saw sleeping in a tree on the property.

The most incredible Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The infinity pool looks out to a small natural forest where I saw howler monkeys. Spotless clean, had everything you needed. I would happily book again.  Don’t think, if it’s available, just go ahead and book this place.

Perfect location outside of La Fortuna. Was nice to come back to after a long day of activities to relax in the pool and hot tub. Place was clean and had all the amenities that we needed. The caretaker was nice and showed us one of two resident sloths on the grounds. Recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay.

This vacation home is amazing! The house itself was immaculate and even better than the photos. It had everything we could possibly need and more. The best part of the home was the property. The groundskeeper showed us where to find 2 different sloths, there were so many birds to watch, and there was a family of monkeys in the trees that we watched while lounging on the pool deck. And the pool - WOW! Everything was perfect!

We had a wonderful stay at this property! Everything matched the listing perfectly. The location really couldn't be better - close enough to get into town easily, but tucked away enough that it felt peaceful and quiet. We loved having so many activity options nearby. We never felt like we ran out of things to do. Our host was incredibly responsive throughout our stay (thank you Arnaldo!). Anytime we had a question, we got a quick and helpful reply. It really made the whole experience great. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

Amazing house and the property is gorgeous! My little kids loved the shallow area of the pool and the jacuzzi area! Arnaldo was also super helpful in recommendations for activities with little ones.

The place was beautiful and peaceful. We saw howler monkeys, toucans, and a sloth on the property which was just what we were hoping for. Everything was very clean and Arnaldo was very helpful when we had any questions. You can tell that he takes pride in keeping the location well kept. We would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you!

Had a great stay! Great host and great property

Wonderful host and home. Exceeded my expectations. Loved the large private outdoor dining and living room space by the pool. So much natural nature and saw a sloth on the property. Very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return again. Thank you

Had a wonderful stay! The house is clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. Would definitely return.

Beautiful place very peaceful host very helpful and very friendly

If you want to relax close to La Fortuna, this is the place. Easy drive to town, but the real attraction is the outdoor space. Luis (caretaker of the property) is great, even pointed out howler monkeys and sloths while we were there. Full compliment of amenities, including washer and dryer and air conditioning in every room.

The pictures do not do this place justice, very beautiful home and absolutely feels like a home. Great place if you are looking for a place to stay outside of busy La Fortuna, but close enough to get to everything. About a 15-20 minute easy drive back to La Fortuna. The home is beautiful and the pool is amazing. If you like your pools on the warmer side, this place is great with the hot tub. Sitting in the hot tub watching the birds come and go and listening to the Jungle is amazing and we found ourselves liking that more than some of our planned activities. Sloth lives on property and the gentleman who was working in the garden spotted it one morning and showed it to us--absolutely awesome experience. Hosts are great, very communicative and easy to deal with. We had one question during our stay and they answered quickly and took care of everything. I would recommend this place and absolutely will go back.

We loved how spacious the house was and all the amenities that were available. The property was beautiful and the pool was so nice. We were also able to get fresh fruits from the farm.

Great stay! Pool was wonderful and the surrounding seating made for a great place to hangout. Saw some toucans and lots of other birds! Place was very clean, no clutter at all. Good location for visiting the Arenal Volcano/La Fortuna waterfalls but being far enough away for some privacy/quiet. Kitchen was well equipped too though we had no need for it aside from coffee/tea. And only place in Costa Rica we really did not have any issues with bugs (which was surprising and wonderful)! Anyone we ran into on property grounds was friendly too. If it wasn’t rainy season we would have definitely made use of the campfire area!

We had a great stay at Arnoldo‘s place. We always felt safe and loved the pool. The location is about a 10 minute drive from downtown La Fortuna but there are restaurants and a small grocery store very close. We especially enjoyed the pizza place nearby.

We absolutely loved this place. Gorgeous space, spacious, and amazing outdoor deck with pool and hot tub. I could have spent the entire vacation watching wildlife from the deck - monkeys, birds, sloths.  Super responsive and helpful host.  Was sad to leave and hope to come back sometime in the future!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Clean, spacious, and beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked. It has a great patio and pool area. We loved spotting all the wildlife. I highly recommend staying here.

This place is absolutely stunning. Look no more and book an oasis away from home! The location is perfect if you are going to hot springs, sloth tours, hiking etc. The groundskeepers were extremely nice and did a fantastic job in cleaning the pool. Arnaldo was extremely responsive and kind. His attention to detail inside the home was stellar. He provided a binder with local places to eat, instructions on how to use items in the home - 10/10 for details. We will definitely be back in the near future!

We had an amazing stay!  The outdoor space was like having our own resort.  We also enjoyed exploring the area around the house.  The hosts were very accommodating.  They even helped me arrange to have a cake delivered to the house for my son's birthday.  I would definitely stay here again.  it's about a 15 minute drive to La Fortune and 25-30 minutes to hot springs resorts.

This place is a dream! It is about 10-15 minutes outside of La Fortuna- but easy to drive to. The house was spotless and stunning. Perfect for our family of 4. The pool was very nice. Added bonus was the grill and nice view. It is very private.  We really enjoyed our time here and loved the personal touches of embroidered towels, paintings etc. would recommend this place for sure.

Beautiful place, clean, exactly as described and looked like pictures. Would definitely stay there again.

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at Arnaldo's beautiful home in La Fortuna. We were a family of four, so the accommodations worked perfectly for our needs. The home was clean, calm and serene, and the surrounding area was gorgeous. We loved sitting in the jacuzzi and the infinity pool just enjoying the view (day and evening). The grounds man cleaned the pool daily in the morning which we really appreciated. He also pointed out a sloth that was chilling in the canopy area across from the villa, the first sloth siting of our trip!

From beginning to end, everything was absolutely perfect. Arnaldo was so easy to communicate with and answered all questions quickly. I knew this place would be gorgeous but the pics really do not do justice to how insanely gorgeous the property truly is. I would 10000% stay again if in area. Felt like luxury! Truly loved this spot sooooo very much! Only a 15 min drive to La Fortuna center. Thank you, Arnaldo and family! We could not have been more pleased!! Wonderful stay!!!

We loved this place! The outdoor space and pool was peaceful and luxurious, and our kid had a blast in the pool. The indoor was very nice, and location very easy to get to things in La Fortuna area.

Beautiful place to stay while in La Fortuna. The outdoor area with pool and hot tub was great and well kept. I liked that the property was gated and well maintained. The grounds keeper was very nice, and even pointed out a sloth and her baby. Would stay here again for sure.

The house and everything about our short stay was amazing! The house is stunning , the amenities provided and surroundings exceeded our expectations!! This was a new area of Costa Rica for us, the house was in close proximity to all of our activities. The large covered outdoor dining area was perfect for us to have dinner outside, even when it was raining, the area is so large and protected . The host Maribel helped us set up some last minute excursions. We had some trouble getting into the house and they came right over to help us! Luis- the pool service gentleman , walked us to view sloths on the property, he was so friendly! Everything about this house was described in the listing but the pictures don’t do this property justice! It’s way more gorgeous in person!! I highly recommend this property!

Place was amazing! The day we arrived we saw a sloth right from our pool! Host and co-host were helpful. When we showed up, we had trouble using the keypad & the co-host was right over to help us. The location is about 10 mins from La Fortuna, so you can’t walk to anything. But town & tours are quick drive away!

Our stay at Arnaldo’s Airbnb in La Fortuna exceeded all expectations! One morning, the groundskeeper pointed out two sloths on the property. Arnaldo connected us with an incredible local tour guide, Carlos, who made our adventures unforgettable. Our only regret is not booking a longer stay to enjoy this amazing home. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay. The space was clean and as advertised. The perfect home base for our adventure!

This place exceeded our expectations. It felt like home and was so clean and well kept. I would absolutely recommend this place for your home away from home stay.

To say that we loved our stay here was an understatement. The highlight of our trip was the house. It was beautiful, clean, and the pool and jacuzzi were a perfect way to start and end our day. This was a rare instance of the actual house was more beautiful than the photos. I would  stay here again and would recommend this property to anyone!

We stayed for three nights at Arnaldo's house and wished we had stayed longer.  The house was beautiful but the most amazing part was the yard.  It was very private and the back deck, pool, and hot tub were our favorite place to hang out.  We were surrounded by rainforest and it was a picturesque setting for a morning cup of coffee or a drink in the hot tub.  Our kids enjoyed the pool and seeing two sloths which the groundskeeper pointed out to us.  The location is close enough to all activities near the Arenal volcano but thankfully away from the touristy part of town.  The house was a fantastic deal for the money.  We would definitely stay there again.... hands down five stars.

The home was beautiful!! The pool was great!! Saw sloths in the trees in back of the house!! Many beautiful birds!! The kitchen was big and equipped with everything you could need! After the days of sightseeing it was so nice to come back to the house and relax!! Loved every minute there! Can’t wait to come back!!

We stayed at the villa for 4 nights and it was superb! The villa is truly luxurious and is better in life than in the pictures. The pool faced the forest and was majestic. The house is very private yet close to all the Arenal attractions. We could not have found a better accommodation.

We enjoyed our stay at Arnaldo's residence very much, mainly for the cleanliness of the premises, the space, the very well-equipped accommodation and the comfort of the rooms. The accommodation matches the photos presented, location not far from several attractions and grocery stores, easy access and effective communication with the host. Arnaldo accompanied us on the property grounds to show us sloths and toucans. Please note, however, that this is not a secluded place, so we hear traffic from the adjacent road. Very good stay, the property is recommended!

Nous avons grandement apprécié notre séjour à la résidence d’Arnaldo, essentiellement pour la propreté des lieux, l’espace, le logement très bien équipé et le confort des chambres. Le logement correspond bien aux photos présentées, situation non loin de plusieurs attractions et épiceries, facilité d’accès et communication efficace avec l’hôte. Arnaldo nous a accompagné sur le terrain de la propriété  afin de nous faire voir des paresseux et toucans. Prenez toutefois note qu’il ne s’agit pas d’un lieu retiré, nous entendons donc le trafic de la route adjacente. Très bon séjour, la propriété est recommandée!

This place was a showcase of how an Airbnb should be done. The place was high quality inside and out, located in a beautiful setting and the host was on the ball with instructions and communications. It was close enough to La Fortuna for us to pop into town for dinner and there are also some decent restaurants within a couple of km of the house. The outside patio, deck and pool were great places to relax come rain or shine.

Amazing stay. Beautiful property, responsive host. Luis, an onsite staff member, was amazing and helped up locate sloths on two different days.  The house had everything we could possibly need. Would absolutely recommend!

This was without question the nicest place we've ever stayed and worth every penny! Absolutely gorgeous! The house was spotless and had every kind of kitchen tool you could need (even things like vases and platters that you wouldn't expect). As nice as the inside was, the outside is where this place really shines. The pool and hot tub overlook the rainforest where we were able to see iguanas, sloths, toucans, and tons of other colorful birds. Major shoutout to the groundskeeper who pointed out the two sloths! He was so patient with us (we don't speak Spanish and have terrible eyesight) and he didn't leave until we finally spotted the sloth he was pointing out. It was the highlight of our whole trip. Our only regret was not booking a longer stay here!

Lovely spot, plenty of privacy, beautiful gardens. Wait till the night, location perfect for star gazing. Easy access to the La Fortuna restaurants and other local attractions. Pool cleaned daily, really nice people. Highly recommend for families.

Gorgeous home on a beautifully maintained property.  This home overlooks the jungle but is close to all the experiences La Fortuna is known for.   Restaurants and supermarkets are close by so we could choose to eat out or dine at home. We had everything we needed.   Thanks to the graciousness of Luis, the groundskeeper, we enjoyed numerous opportunities to see wildlife on the property. We felt very much at home and welcomed here. Our 10 day stay was wonderful.

Casa Esmeralda was everything and more. The place was very clean and private. We saw sloths, owls and a slew of beautiful birds right on the property! The home was fully equipped with ANYTHING that you could want. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved staying here. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The pool and jacuzzi overlook the rainforest, where we saw a sloth and iguana, and the place was surrounded by various birds. The house was private and quiet, surrounded by nature, exactly what we needed to truly relax. Arnaldo was super responsive and helpful with anything we needed. Would definitely come back again!

Very nice house, clean, well equipped and well located. The pool is a 10/10 with the spa and paddling area, perfect for the whole family! The grounds are beautiful too!

Très belle maison, propre, bien équipée et bien située. La piscine est un 10/10 avec l’espace spa et pataugeoire, parfaite pour toute la famille! Le terrain est aussi superbe!

Casa Esmerelda was everything we wanted and more for a family of 4 traveling to Costa Rica for the first time! The house and pool were perfect for relaxing after a day of adventures around Arenal, and we were close enough to go into Fortuna for breakfast and dinner and enjoy all of the amazing local restaurants.  Would definitely recommend!

It was a very nice house as part of a small "gated" community. There were a few sloths on the premise and the pool cleaning guy was very friendly to point out 3 of them to us on the first day.  We had to ask a local to find the house but no biggie. Host was very responsive with my questions which I appreciated. It did rain every night pretty heavily during our stay and the house having super high metal (?) ceiling made raindrops sound extra loud lol quite an experience

We absolutely loved the place, it was gated and remote. Backing to the jungle and all the wildlife was an incredible experience. We used the pool and hot tub daily it really was a relaxing atmosphere. Luis (caretaker and gardener) was such a great and kind person to show us some of the wildlife on the property, he took the time to walk us around. We truly think this is a one of a kind place and hope to return one day. Thanks

Great place. Peaceful, looks like the pictures and the pool / hot tub are great. I had a gas leak on the grill that I brought up and had zero reply even though the message was marked read. That was disappointing but I managed to have the groundskeeper, that cleans the pool daily at 0730, unannounced,,  help me out so I could use the grill.

Wonderful lodging! Looked exactly like the pictures. Quiet, peaceful, great amenities. Lots to do in La Fortuna but also easy to chill at Casa Colibri around the private pool with lots of comfortable seats. We would definitely go back. Highly recommend!

First time to CR. We absolutely LOVED this place!! Saw Howler Monkeys, sloth’s , and all kinds of different birds! Woke up the first morning to Howler Monkeys claiming territory in the forest!! Location was close to town and many activities! White water rafting is a must!! Best location thus far that we’ve stayed in CR!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise with us!

My eldest son and I had an amazing time at Casa Calibri. Arnaldo was extremely kind and replied to our messages almost immediately. The home is immaculate and beautifully decorated. The pool, hot tub, pool deck and landscaping were meticulously maintained by a lovely gentleman who was quick to show us the resident sloths. The abundance of wildlife observed was incredible. We lost track of the number of birds and even saw howler monkeys. Felt extremely safe. Highly recommend and hope to return with the rest of my family soon. Thank you again Arnaldo! Muchas Gracias !

Beautiful Private location, short drive to Santa Teresa. Owner was super nice & helpful, looks just like photos & feels like home

We love our stay at the Casa Calibri!! From start to finish, my husband and I enjoyed every minute. Arnaldo was very responsive and went the extra mile for us. The place was very private and peaceful. Beautiful home and very spacious. The gardener was so friendly. Arnaldo recommended us a driver/tour guide and he was wonderful! Our entire trip was wonderful and we love the people of Costa Rica!! Definitely recommend!

Can't say enough good things about this AirBnB. My wife and I stayed a week for our anniversary and you are close enough but far enough away from La Fortuna. The house backs up to a forest filled with toucans, parrots, sloths and Howler monkeys. We witnessed more wide life from the amazing pool than the Parks. Great place and Great Hosts!

We had one of the best Airbnb experiences at this location. House is beautiful, well-maintained, host was responsive.

We loved our stay at Casa Colibrí Esmeralda. The house is very modern and looks newly constructed. Beautiful property with lush vegetation. Everything you need inside to feel right at home from kitchen amenities to fluffy comfortable beds and pillows. My kids had a lot of fun in the pool and hot tub. It helps to have a rental car as restaurants and activities are not walking distance. We also tried Canyoning which we would not have done if Arnaldo had not recommended it. So glad we did, was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Arnaldo, for being such a good host!

Cannot say enough great things about this place! Arnaldo was an amazing host. Even taking us into town when we needed a ride. The house is beautiful and pristine. It has all the amenities one could possibly need. We spent majority of the time on the peaceful patio and got lucky enough to see monkeys and sloths from it. We will definitely come back and stay here again on our next trip.

Despite the rainy weather and challenging roads, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It was clean and had a wonderful fragrance. The space was more than sufficient for my friend and me, and we had an amazing time in La Fortuna.

Wonderful. The pool was amazing. So private and peaceful. Beautiful place.

This place somehow manages to be even nicer than the photos. Arnaldo, the host, had a remarkable response time to both questions, advice and on one occasion where we needed help in the house. The grounds crew pointed out a sloth on the grounds. We saw some really cool wildlife while in the pool - pretty birds and cows roaming just outside the property. I don’t think we will ever top this experience in an Airbnb. Kudos to Arnaldo!

Wonderful location for a family vacation! Everyone had their own space, the gardens were beautiful and full of wildlife. The pool was a good size for play and relaxation. The house was fully furnished with needed supplies. Arnaldo was very accommodating at providing tour information or answering any questions. My family enjoyed a volcano hike and jungle tour with Carlos at Costa Rica Rent a Guide. We also enjoyed the hanging bridges and jungle ziplines. Our overall stay was excellent and I would highly recommend this location to any couple or family visiting Costa Rica!

We had a great stay at Casa Esmeralda. The house is about a 10 minute drive to downtown La Fortuna so very close by. It is also a gated community of 3 houses so it felt very safe. The landscaping is beautiful with trees and plants in the front and a rainforest in the back. We were able to see monkeys from the backyard one morning. The pool is beautiful and I really liked the way it was set up. There is a hot tub and a shallow area that my son loved to run around in and a deeper section. We enjoyed the pool every day. The kitchen was great and the two bedrooms worked great for us. Huge bathrooms and great amenities. There is a family of birds that lives in the backyard that was fun to watch. All in all a great vacation and we felt right at home.

Arnaldo was a great host and the house was beautiful! I would stay there again, 10/10!

Arnaldo's home is by far the best airbnb I have ever stayed at. I had high expectations based on the photos and reviews, and they were easily met! From the ease of communication, to the pristine condition of everything in the house, the location, and that pool - everything was just perfect. It was hard to leave, and I would love to return one day!

Wow. This place blew us away. My husband was ready to change our plans for the rest of our time in Costa Rica and just stay put at Casa Esmeralda. We met the sloth, we took full advantage of the incredible pool, we used the outdoor kitchen for all of our meals and we all slept soundly. We felt extremely safe, which was very much appreciated, having our 10 month old baby in tow. The outdoor space is truly incredible. If you stay, we would definitely suggest having time set aside to enjoy the pool and the deck spaces. We have already recommended this stay to friends and would come back in a heartbeat :)

Arnaldo’s place was beyond beautiful. Arnaldo is also super helpful, friendly and lovely host. We felt right at home. The home is stunning. My husband and I do a bit of traveling and this is one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed in. There is so much to do in La fortuna so if you come here staying at this beautiful gem is a must!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was centrally located to several of our activities. The pool at the end of the day was awesome. We enjoyed playing cards on the patio in the evenings as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area.

This was one of my most favorite places I’ve stayed with our family! The room layout is great, so much space inside and the outside was so much more than the pictures show! Absolutely amazing! The beds were super comfortable, the bathrooms / showers were spa quality and the pool was cleaned daily and just perfect! It’s located in an easy access location. It’s private and felt very safe! We will be recommending this place to anyone we know visiting La Fortuna!
