Great view of the lake. This was a good location for our family and our dog to chill and read on the deck. We were able to do some nice private waterfall hikes which would allow our dog to hike with us unlike the parks which do not allow dogs.

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay at the lake front villa. It was easy to get to, had a nice view and was comfortable, clean and very relaxing. I enjoyed my coffee in the morning on the porch taking in a view of the lake. We walked over the restaurant at the hotel for a great dinner and it was a quick walk less than 10 mins.

Weeklong Couple Stay
Casa 5 is possibly the best situated house in Buena Vista. It was relatively private and had a nice lake view. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms had ample drawer space as well as plenty of hangers. The space was open and comfortable.

Quiet retreat
This property had everything we needed as we set out to explore the lake Arenal and surrounding area of Costa Rica. The porch was perfect for morning coffee and reading a book. The property was clean and easy to get to. It was a bit of a drive to a lot of activities but it was so nice to have a secure, quiet place to come home to each day. Highly recommend for one or two couples.

Comme l’endroit est près du lac et du sol, bcp de petits moustiques sont présents. Bref, nous recommandons l’endroit.

Beautiful home on a beautiful lake.
The house was everything represented by the owner. The Owner's manager, Joanie was very helpful and a real joy. We loved the house and the location. We would definitely go back to this house. We throroughly enjoyed it.
The house is well equipped and it was very clean. There is one caveat though, the road around Lake Arenal back to LaFortuna is in horrible shape and is dangerous to drive after dark. If you go to LaFortuna - get back before dark.

Beautiful lake view
We spent 7 nights here, and found it to be peaceful and scenic, which is what we had hoped for. The home is very well-appointed especially in the kitchen, which I appreciated since we most often cook while on vacation. Sharp knives, plenty of cutlery and dishes. The light switches were labeled, which was useful. Sheets and towels very good quality, always nice. Many afternoons spent on the porch swing overlooking the lake were very restful. The firepit was lovely in the evening.Communication was reliable,and we appreciated that. Several restaurants within a few minutes drive, or a bit of a walk. Our favorite was La Pasadita,,,best ceviche and nachos ever.We will return.

Nice stay by the lake
Nos gusto mucho esta villa, la ubicación es genial para hacer todo tipo de actividades, visitamos cataratas, aguas termales, alquilamos kayacs y paddleboards con tan solo bajar al lago. La PM fue atenta y nos dio muy buenas recomendaciones. Vimos Perezosos, Tucanes y una gran variedad de pajaros en la propiedad, desde nuestro balcon!

Lovely property
This is a great property with a spectacular view. It's a short distance to 2 small towns and very private. Joanie and Kyle were very responsive to all our needs. If you're looking for a place in Costa Rica to get away from it all and just relax, this is the place!

Costa Rica Lake House
We had a great first time visit to CR. The property manager checked us in and gave us everything we needed for a great stay. When the water heater broke and could not be immediately repaired she helped us move into a neighboring property which suited us just fine.
The are in which this property is located is beautiful. Friendly people. If you stay here you will want to try the little restaurant between the speed bumps in the little town you will drive through getting to the house.
Thanks to Joann for making us feel welcome

This property is beautiful and well maintained! We had an excellent time on our four night stay!
This is an excellent home that is comfortable and in a quiet, safe complex. The view is wonderful and so are the neighbors. We saw many different types of birds every day and awoke to the sounds of nature! Just perfect! The manager, Joanne, is quick to respond, took excellent care of the little needs we had, and was super friendly when we met her. We felt like we were meeting an old friend! All four of us would stay here again in a heartbeat! Pura Vida!

Excellent rental for the price!!
Early on had some snags with communication due to email glitch and caretaker illness but it all worked out just great!
Very comfortable for our family of 4 ( 2 adults and a 19yo and 16yo). Kitchen adequately supplied. Internet worked well (especially for CR!) . The house’s deck and the club house pool were super but we used them far less than we thought we would due to wind, clouds and mist the whole week over the lake. We ended up driving a lot to get to outings and seek sun.
Would recommend to another group of 4! Thank you so much!

The Perfect Costa Rican Get-away
This is the perfect get-away from the mass tourism of Costa Rica's coastal areas. Such a lovely, very comfortable house with everything we needed to make us feel right at home. The views of Lake Arenal and the surrounding mountainous countryside were beautiful, and there was always a breeze to keep the temperatures just right. Being at the far end of this gated community that included a very nice pool, offered tranquil privacy which we loved, and the constant presence of Toucans, Parrots and so many other exotic birds just made our day.
Only 15 minutes away from good supermarkets, and with day-excursions to nearby nature reserves and other activities really made this the ideal holiday location. Joannie, the property manager was always available and so kind and helpful which just added to our overall enjoyment. We'll be back!!

Beautiful property with a great view
We rented Casa 5 for the month of August and truly enjoyed our time here. Joann was very helpful with pointing out places to eat and suggesting things to do, and quick to respond when we needed assistance. The housing development was very quiet - perhaps because it was the rainy season when fewer people visit Costa Rica. We loved sitting outside on the porch and watching the birds, listening to the howler monkeys in the distance, and enjoying the sounds of the farms across the bay. We frequently saw or heard kiskadees, toucans, oropendolas, and vultures. It's breezy outdoors, but that keeps the mosquitoes away and the temperatures comfortable.
There are several good restaurants within a 20-minute walking distance (or 5-minute drive) - Gutierrez Family Pizzeria, La Pasadita, and Brisas del Lago. Tronadora (about 10 minutes away) is charming - and we recommend getting meats from the carniceria and breads from the panaderia there. Tilaran is about a 15-minute drive away and has banks, larger grocery stores, the bus station, but we didn't find any restaurants better than the ones in Puerto San Luis - see above. The restaurant at the Hotel Guadalupe was quite good.
The house is well maintained and clean, the refrigerator is huge, the stove worked great. The pots and pans were adequate. The queen bed was quite comfortable and the roomy shower had reliable hot water. The TV gets several English-language channels. The wifi was fast and robust, despite frequent rain and thunderstorms. We only used the fans a few times - with open windows (with screens) and breezes, the house stayed comfortable all day long.
The house is in a good location, even though it is somewhat distant from the main tourist areas of Lake Arenal. It's a 90-minute drive around the north side of the lake to La Fortuna. There are several good restaurants along the lake as well. We took the local bus from Tilaran to Monteverde and spent a couple of nights there - the bus was cheap (about $2.00 per person one way), but took 2.5 to 3 hours to go 26 miles. We drove to Santa Rosa National Park - about 2 hours driving. And it was about a 90-minute drive to get to Tenorio National Park, where you can see the robin's egg blue Rio Celeste. Be sure to stop at the overlook above Lake Arenal - on the road between Tilaran and La Fortuna - just past the turnoff to Tronadora. We actually walked there from the house - it was about a 40-minute walk one way.

Beautiful Scenery!
My wife and I shared this property with another couple for a recent vacation and had a great time! The scenery was amazing as you step out and look at the lake and volcano. We had everything we needed for our stay and the property manager was amazing as she assisted us with places to shop and eat. The owner Kyle went the extra mile to ensure we had plenty of fans to help keep us cool. While there we visited Rio Celeste and drove around the lake to see the sites. Beautiful country, amazing local food and super people made for a memorable trip.

Excellent House!
Thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Great location with a fantastic view. It is as comfortable and appointed as advertised. The community is quiet with a nice pool, if that's what you're looking for. Also, fairly centralized on the lake so you're really only an hour or so from the activities around the volcano or the Pacific coast. Joannie, the property manager, could not have been more helpful or a nicer person. She really put us on to some outstanding "comida typica". Kyle, the owner, made the entire process easy from confirmation through completion of the stay. I highly recommend. There's also a good brewery on the road to La Fortuna!

Fantastic location. Peaceful and relaxing.
Fantastic location. It was beautifully situated above the lake. The first night we just enjoyed sitting on the porch while the kids rolled down the hill.
The home was as pretty as the pictures. It was a modern, yet quaint home. It was a great home base while we visited Rio Celeste and Volcan Chato. We even saw a sloth in one of the neighbors trees!

Great base for our Costa Rica adventure!
This place was an amazing base for our family of four while we explored the local area. The location was great as we were able to easily get to the sights in and around LaFortuna as well as getting to Monteverde which was perfect. It's probably an hour from each location but it's a beautiful drive and fun to be exploring the area. The local grocery store and butcher was perfect for us (the butcher was very enjoyable to deal with). There are larger stores in Tiliran but we never actually needed the larger grocery store. The property itself was as advertised and very comfortable for us with amazing views and we felt very safe and relaxed while being there. It had everything we needed to enjoy home cooked meals and bbq's in comfort. I have to comment on the property manager Joannia who was very helpful when we arrived. She turned up within minutes of our arrival to let us in and showed us around including taking us to the local shops to show us around and get acquainted with the local area and customs. She was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay and we could always contact her with any questions. We were initially a little worried after reading the review about the negative experience by one of the renters however as the owner explained there is a new property manager now and we are so glad that we decided not to concern ourselves too much with the one negative review out of so many positive ones.

Very beautiful place next to the lake
This place is a newly renovated place with all the luxury you need. The house sits next to the lake, great if you want to spend time on the lake and enjoy a peaceful tranquil place. The only issues we had were no cable tv in the rooms and it's a drive to the volcano and hot springs. Took us an hour to hour and a half to get there. Which is ok, the view is beautiful and we stopped along the way to eat and shop. I highly recommend this place to stay, very nice scenery and quiet, safe place. People that live around there and in town are very friendly. We enjoyed our stay tremendously! Thanks to all who were involved, we would stay again if we ever head back to Costa Rica!

Beautiful home in a great location.
This spacious home is beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained. The large, central room with its high ceilings, cupola, and array of floor to ceiling windows is breathtaking! There is a great view of Lake Arenal. A previous poor review indicated some problems with cleanliness, upkeep, and access to the property. Kyle was very understanding of our concerns and assured us that we would have no issues since there was a new property manager. Kyle was right! Everything was fine. Nor did we have any difficulty gaining access to the gated community. Kyle provided us with gate codes ahead of time, as well as contact information for himself and Joanie, the property manager, in the event of any problem. Be advised that the houses on the street are not numbered. This house is set back from the road, and the grass driveway is right beside the green paved drive. Joanie was at the house to meet us on our arrival and to see us off. She was very accommodating and always available on short notice. We were delighted with the brand new BBQ. The weather was generally low to mid 20’s C, and very windy every day - perhaps a bit too windy, especially for swimming which we had hoped to do. But the location of this property is excellent. It is centrally located to be within a reasonable (up to 1.5 hours) drive of many attractions, including Arenal Volcano, Monte Verde Cloud Forest Reserve, Palo Verde National Park (where we saw monkeys), Rio Celeste (turquoise water), and Llano de Cortez waterfall (where we swam in a pool at its base!) Make sure you go to the nearby Brisas del Lago restaurant. It is one of the best restaurants we have been to – ever! We would definitely recommend a visit here.
