About this property

Birder’s Paradise, Dazzling Lake & Volcano Views!

This spacious Casita is an excellent escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Tucans perch in the trees in front as you gaze at the Lake and Volcano. Hummingbirds abound, as we have planted their favorite flowers just off the patio. Parrots, Parakeets, Oropendula's, and even the elusive Mot Mot soar overhead, some stop for a taste of mango from the gigantic tree which stands stately on the front lawn. What are you waiting for? Wake up! You're not dreaming, you really are in paradise!

We love to meet people but respect your privacy. We offer self-check-in so that after a long travel day, you can get in and relax. We are always available by messaging and answering as soon as possible. If we are in the country at your visit and you are open to it we would love to share a beverage with you on our patio and hear some of your travel stories. We could perhaps, share some of our love of this beautiful country and handy travel tips.

Vistas Del Lago is a uniquely designed gated community overlooking beautiful Lake Arenal and Vulcan Arenal. Enjoy breathtaking views of the mountainside while listening to toucans croaking, parrots chirping and monkeys howling in the trees, some of which may be on the property you are staying in. We are blessed to have a Clubhouse with an exercise room, saltwater pool, and common area. There is a part-time restaurant that offers breakfast 3 days a week and has a wonderful area with a TV and a large selection of books and videos.

Our community is comprised of ex-pat and national residents alike. Some residents live here year-round while for others this is their vacation home.
Our sense of community is what makes Vistas Del Lago the premier gated community at Lake Arenal. Each homesite within Vistas is a minimum of 1.5 acres which provides wonderful privacy and tranquility. Take part in the activities at the clubhouse or enjoy your own solitude, the choice is always yours.

So many activities to do at Lake Arenal, kayaking, boating, horseback riding, biking, hot springs, yoga, spiritual and healing centers, pickleball and tennis, bicycling, hiking, and of course relaxing and enjoying massages and the peace and tranquility.

Come see for yourself why everyone returns to this magical paradise.

Guests will have the entire home, patios, front and side yards, and private parking. The clubhouse located down in front is conveniently only 100m from the house where guests will have access to the pool, fitness room, and a la carte breakfast offerings everyday from 7:30-10:30AM.

This spacious one-bedroom home is located inside a beautiful gated community. It is a home away from home for all! Within 10 minutes of our favorite Pickleball venue with 4 covered courts and all skill levels playing 5 days a week.

A vehicle is absolutely recommended should you decide to visit us. However we have had guests who came without one and we can recommend driving services to get you out and about as needed.

We are only 3 miles from the picturesque town of Tronadora, with the prettiest park in Guanacaste, where you can find everything you need including, a grocery store, butcher, bakery, liquor, 2 restaurants, and for those looking for the nightlife, there is also a bar.

An easy 1.5 hour drive from Liberia Airport and 3 hours from San Jose. If arriving in San Jose with less than 3 hours of daylight we recommend that you stay over near the airport and get a fresh start in the morning. Most of the roads are paved however not well marked and there are lots of twists and turns.

We have plenty of parking area.

This community has 24-hour gated access. On-site security provides peace of mind that you and your belongings will be safe and secure.

Fantastic experience

Beautiful home and property. We were cared for very well by Rod and Tanya. I’ve been to Costa Rica several times and I have never seen so many Toucans! The only drawback was the last couple miles of road leading to the property was pretty rough. Thanks for everything!

Excellent place to visit

The property is in a gated community a few miles outside of Tronadora. The house is a one bedroom stand alone house with a murphy bed in the main room which was great for the kids to use. The property was very clean and well managed. You do have access to a pool that is run by the community that have lovely views of Lake Arenal. It was about a 2 hour drive from Liberia to the property. We took a one day road trip to Monteverde rainforest which was fantastic. You are also about 2 hours from La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano. The climate is cooler than the beach area which can be a nice break for those that don't love hot sun all day. Our family really enjoyed our visit at the Birder's Paradise!

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!

Very comfortable, great views, very clean. We have stayed in several locations in CR and this area is spectacular. This is the best VRBO and you will not be disappointed. Rod and Tanyia were very inviting and welcomed us like family. We did not want to leave and look forward to returning soon!

Lake View

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Tucan. The stunning view, the amazing mango tree and plenty of butterflies flying around the colorful and well maintained garden… what we want to highlight is the great standard of the house. We stayed in many places and it seems a common thing that good quality of material is not so easy to get. The house has very good cooking pans, fridge, eletronic device, and so on. We enjoyed being alone on the property, we could imagine that if the neighbor house is occupied the privacy is a little less. But non the less it is still a great gem in Costa Rica!
