Bernal’s Airbnb was in a great location next to town. The house was clean, beautiful. The landscaping was while taking care of. The view to the volcano was great. We are very fortunate to see it without clouds surrounding it many times. we were three couples and it was plenty of room for everyone, was very nice.

We stayed with a group of 6 and had plenty of space. this has got to be one of the most special properties. The volcano was visible one day because it rained a lot but it was so special being directly in front of us. The spring fed pool is HUGE and we swam everyday. such a blessing. The property is surrounded by running water and the sound of that was incredible soothing. The grounds and landscaping were impeccable. This property is truly a jungle paradise! We loved that every room had a full bathroom and all were comfortable. Would stay again! A couple things we didn't expect was there was construction both front and behind us and there were heavy loud machinery going thru the backyard and next to the pool, so it wasn't peaceful at times. Many cars and the owner driving through with utv vehicles. Though the owners are very kind, just a bit unaware I think. There was a LOT of activity thru the property during our stay. Kitchen pans need upgrading as they are scratched and chem teflon.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED CASA AQUA VIDA. I AM FROM ALBERTA, CANADA AND I MET A WONDERFUL FAMILY FROM COSTA RICA SHORTLY AFTER I MOVED HERE IN JANUARY OF 2025. THE KITCHEN AND BBQ AREAS WERE PERFECT FOR FAMILIES WHO LOVE TO COOK. WE HAD 2 BABIES WITH US - A 6 MONTH OLD AND A 14 MONTH OLD. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN WATCHING THEM AND THEIR FATHER'S PLAYING WITH THEM IN THE MASSIVE GRASS AREA. THE VIEW OF THE VOLCANO WAS RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES, THE BEDROOMS SUITED OUR FAMILIES PERFECTLY. ANY QUESTIONS I HAD, WERE ANSWERED PROMPTLY BY BERNAL. FOR MYSELF - A WIDOWED GRANDMOTHER FROM ALBERTA CANADA, ALL I CAN SAY IS - THE SURROUNDINGS WERE STUNNING, EXTREMELY PRIVATE AND EVER SO PEACEFUL. WE ALL RETURNED HOME REFRESHED AND RESTED. I CHOSE TO MOVE TO COSTA RICA SOLELY BECAUSE OF THE CLIMATE AND PURE MOIST AIR AND NO SNOW!!! ALSO THE PEOPLE!!! THIS TRIP WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND WE WILL RETURN AGAIN SOME DAY. ALL I CAN SUM IT UP WITH WAS PARADISE!!! THANK YOU BERNAL AND STAFF. SINCERELY, SUSAN

Spectacular setting. Outdoor space amazing. Monkeys and sloth on the property. Great location close to town. No AC in main living space, but bedrooms had AC. Fourth bedroom was detached which was not great for family living. Overall would highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning location. The view doesn't disappoint. The pool is so lovely, but isn't viewable from the house (for parents). The bedrooms are absolutely beautiful, with one detached from the main house. The main part of the house doesn't have AC, but the bedrooms do so you can choose your desired temp at night. I would love to return to this house with my family.

What an exceptional home! As beautiful as they are, the photos do not do the property justice. The home is beautifully designed and has amazing views outside. The pool is massive and more breathtaking than the listing photos suggest. The grounds of the home are impeccably kept. And there’s wildlife everywhere. Bernal was a gracious host and Marta was incredibly sweet - she unexpectedly cleaned the home mid trip. Very convenient location but secluded and peaceful.
