Condo in Puerto San Luiz

Condo was great…spacious, clean, photos shown are accurate. Check-in was seemless as well. Wish the pool was working as it was under construction and we didn’t know. Location was more remote than expected. Overall, nice family place.

Beautiful house by the lake

The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The condo is nice and private, and location is very convenient since it is close to the main activities and restaurants in the area. Will definitively recommend this property to anyone that wants to visit Tilaran/Tronadora.

Nice house, good value

We enjoyed our week at this property. Very comfortable house. The check in experience was great -- the property manager was amazing and so helpful! Kitchen was fairly well stocked. No hair dryer, but the property manager graciously brought us one to use. Compared to other places we have rented around the lake, there is not as much privacy here with many houses in the small development and the pool house right next door. But, certainly not a deal breaker. We saw many birds, including toucans daily, right from the deck and even saw a sloth walking the power line down the road to the development! The local pizza place is great. Lake Arenal Brewery is very close. Location is good to get to Monte Verde and LaFortuna. We would recommend staying here.

Great Area to stay in for cooler temps and quiet

Property was as described. Had issues when first arrived because the gate code given in instructions was changed and not communicated to property manager or owner. Other guest let us in so it worked out. The beds are not the greatest and as older folks with bad backs they were not comfortable. Jonie, the property manager, was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. The pool was pretty dirty for most of our stay so did not use it as much as would have liked. Also, February is very windy there.

Perfect stay

This property was wonderful! Everything was working just as expected, everything was clean, the check in process was easy and the on site manager was so kind and helpful. The villa was spacious and comfortable. Some friends stayed in a few of the other villas in this gated area and some didn’t have air conditioning or had broken items (owned by other management) but ours was great! Would definitely recommend. The area was quiet and everyone around was friendly. Walking to nearby places was probably not really a great option but this is a short drive to nearby things. The view to the lake is great from the front porch. We saw a toucan land on a tree next to us while eating breakfast.

The property was exceptional! Spacious, excellent kitchen, amazing deck for outdoor dining and barbecues. Ample indoor dining space and breakfast/lunch nook provided ease of dining. The view from the deck overlooks Lake Arenal and the mountains in the distance. Numerous beautiful bird species came by and sat in the tree feet from the deck. The Keel-billed toucans were a welcome and gorgeous sight.

Great home with beautiful views in a nice subdivision.

Once we found the home, it was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning, watching the birds and monkeys. Views of the lake are breathtaking. It is a nice quiet, secluded neighborhood and we thoroughly enjoyed staying at this house. Lynell is a wonderful host and takes care of everything.

A Wonderful Stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. The location was so peaceful and beautiful. Our mornings were spent in the deck enjoying a coffee and the sights and sounds of so many birds! Wonderful value for the money, Joanne was great, and we’d be delighted to come back again sometime. Best regards from Terri and Ken.

Wonderful Stay!

We, three senior folks spend 5 days in this amazing place, all was more than what we expected! We loved the house, spacious rooms, lovely details to decoration, high standards and clean. Bed so comfy, superb terrace with view to the lake, dinging area with windows to observe so many birds, amazing quiet nights. Supplies like washer/dryer, microwave, toaster, very new stove/cooker, coffeemaker, big clean fridge and much more. Could have done with one or two more cooking pots and a bigger pan, yet we did it. We loved to cook and dine together. The compound is in great shape, garden and maintenance very well and super friendly staff, ready to help instantly. We totally recommend the house and we would come back any time to stay even longer. The rental is by all means worth the price! Happy customers we were!

Beautiful house with comfortable furnishings.

This place is gorgeous with Keel-billed Toucans among the 30+ birds seen from the front porch. A leak under the kitchen sink was the only major problem, but several light bulbs also need to be replaced. It’s very windy here in February, so I would recommend coming at a different time of year.

Quiet girls getaway

I wanted to plan a quiet getaway with friends away from all of the tourist destinations and stumbled upon this place. It exceeded all of our expectations. We had so much fun just sitting still watching all the wildlife and taking in the beautiful views. The owner is a wonderful woman who quickly answered questions and concerns we had before our trip. We will definitely go back.

This house is just beautiful, spotlessly clean, and with 3 bathrooms! The sprawling lake views can be seen from almost every window. For kiddos, the pool is right next door. Everything looks brand new and the caretakers are very welcoming and accommodating. Thank you for sharing this space!!

Unique and beautiful

A really unique home that is very enjoyable to stay in. The octagonal shape, soaring vaulted ceilings, high quality finishes and the ability to open large doors to the expansive view of Lake Arenal is really wonderful! Location is more property Puerto San Luis, which has two very good and inexpensive restaurants. Tilaran is easy to get to and a pleasant drive. Be sure to check out Carneceria del Sol in Tronadora for food. Chino is very friendly and helpful and has high quality meats, poultry, fruits, vegetables and more. Less than a 5-minute drive. Excellent central location to get to Monteverde or even La Fortuna for day trips. Recommend both of those. Be sure to take in the free natural hot springs across from the Tabacon Resort. Fun experience. Also, do lunch at Cafe Macademia and Lake Arenal Brewery when you're here. Beds comfortable, living area relaxing, excellent TV and dependable Internet. Kitchen well equipped. One suggestion would be to upgrade linens and add some decor items to make the space more homey overall. A really great stay. Recommended!
