Panoramic Lake Arenal Sunset View Villa with AC

8/10 Good

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed in many vacation rentals over the years. This property and the hosts are some of the best I've come across. From my very first inquiry into the property through our departure, every single interaction and experience was absolutely fantastic. We had a group of 19 people that occupied all of the available villas, from ages 1 to 70 years old. Every single person had the best accommodations and service we could have asked for. Coltin, Brooke and Isaac are absolutely amazing. Their communication and local recommendations allowed us to have the trip of a lifetime.Leading up to our trip, the Elements team was very communicative providing recommendations for activities in the area based on our groups interest. They were very helpful in noting what activities were important to see, what should be booked in advance and what the schedule would look like day to day. The recommended chef's at Origins were fantastic! Upon arrival, the property was stunning and included everything we needed and more! The beds and bedding were extremely comfortable and we were thankful for the air conditioning. We walked the pathway next to the property and saw some wildlife and the stream. The pool area is perfect. My personal favorite was the extremely large outside dining table that could easily fit 20 people! The property is about 10-20 minutes from local activities, dining and grocery stores and over an hour to La Fortuna or Rio Celeste. We loved it here and can't wait to go back!"

10/10 Excellent

"The property was absolutely lovely. Very clean throughout, very spacious but still cosy, was easy to find and the views outside were just incredible. It’s also a great location for having a variety of great sightseeing and dining options to drive to, with some of the restaurants even within walking distance. If staying here, you have to do the short drive to Casa Italia for dinner - best Italian food we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!"

Birdwatchers Ranch Villa NEW

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place. The space of the room and view are really spectacular. The host, who I only communicated with over text, was responsive. My only caution is that this place is fairly remote meaning the power/internet can go out and if it rains hard the little river you have to cross to get there can become a burden. Bring everything you need to chill for a few days."

Casa Donna Rosa B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Werner and Carlos are beautiful hosts and we really enjoyed the property and the delicious breakfast! We really appreciated that they immediately took the time to make a reservation to the Hanging Bridges and recommend a great restaurant. Thank you both!"

"This property had a beautiful view, furnishings were new and in great condition. The road on the way to the home was rough but we managed just fine. This property is not near touristy activities but a great get away for a slower pace."
