Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Arenal

excelente . impecable

I really enjoyed my stay here when visiting La Fortuna! The house was spacious, clean, had all the amenities you need, and was in a good spot of La Fortuna with beautiful surroundings. My family and I really liked it. Randall & Juliana were also both very responsive to help if I had any questions. I highly recommend this house for your stay and would not hesitate to stay again in the future if I ever visit La Fortuna again!

If it is available for your dates, book it right now. We spent four nights here with our family of five and I would stay at least one more night next time. The location is perfect in every way- safe, private, walkable, views, easy access to everything. Beds were comfy and plunge pool was a plus. Marvin has thought of every detail... there was even a pitcher of cold water already in the fridge for us when we arrived. Communicating with Marvin was also like having a local friend giving us ideas for our tours. Everything he suggested was great and he made the booking process easy. It was much nicer than the hard sells on the sidewalk of beautiful La Fortuna.

Thank you for the fantastic stay! Tanyia and Rod are amazing hosts. We appreciated the communication and flexibility when booking and leaving. Great recommendations, can’t wait to try some of them when we return. The place is tidy and spotless. Loved the flowers and it’s very well stocked - has everything you need. Great A/C and the showers were so refreshing. The view from the living room is so beautiful of the lake. Our girls loved having their own private area with the king bed. The neighborhood is so peaceful and beautiful- perfect place for a stroll by fields with horses. As with so many places in Costa Rica, there are some steep dirt road inclines on the way - we had no trouble in our 4 wheel drive. This place offers clean, peaceful solitude to listen to the sounds of the Costa Rica jungle tucked away on the south side of Lake Arenal. We only spent evenings there so we didn’t go to the clubhouse.

Wow! What an amazingly beautiful home for a group to share! Loved the spacious place and clean accommodations, large outdoor seating area and the pool is perfect! Just from the house we saw a sloth, toucans, & lizards. We felt very safe with having a locked gate. The privacy was nice. I hope to be back soon!

We had a wonderful stay at Erick’s place on our trip to La Fortuna. The house was beautiful and fully equipped with everything you needed. We will definitely be back if we’re in the area again.

Daniel and his team were exceptional. They let us drop our bags off before check-in so we could explore town, offered helpful tour services, and even a complimentary cleaning (which we didn’t use, but appreciated!). The house is in a great location—10–15 min walk to downtown La Fortuna, close to a grocery store, and tucked on a quieter street with a nice local vibe. One note for light sleepers: the house is just past a curve where motorcyclists like to rev their engines, often late into the night. I don’t usually consider myself a light sleeper, but I did struggle. The hosts thoughtfully provide a white noise machine, which helps, but just something to be aware of. Overall, for everything within the host’s control, this stay was fantastic and easily 5 stars!

Beautiful, peaceful place, this is the second time I stayed in the property, and I will most likely visit again.

Lesly's place was a home away from home. located in a quiet private neighborhood. Close enough to get to the fun in La Fortuna, and far enough not to hear the traffic.

We spent four amazing days at Venado Valley Ranch. From the very beginning, we felt at home thanks to the warm welcome from Sandra. There is so much to do and experience here. Our children, aged 9 and 11, were constantly entertained by all the animals and activities. Ronald guided us on a beautiful tour through the river to the waterfall, where we had a wonderful swim at this unique spot. The horseback ride with the whole family through the mountains was fantastic. Milking the cows and making sugarcane juice were also great experiences. Breakfast and dinner were prepared by Damaris – what delicious meals she made! We truly enjoyed every bite. The accommodation itself is really special. Our kids even had their own room, where Smokey the house cat came to keep them company. They said these were the best days of the entire vacation. But beyond the location, it’s the people who made it truly special. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us, Sandra, Ronald, and Damaris!

Es un lugar extremadamente HERMOSO, perfecto para desconectarse y renovar energías, súper completo, acogedor, el lugar estába impecable, cuidaron de cada detalle, tiene todo a la mano para no preocuparse por nada, la piscina super limpia y relajante mi esposo y yo estuvimos cuatro días y no nos alcanzó para disfrutar de tanto que ofrece el lugar y la casa, sin duda la anfitriona es una hermosa persona, súper amable y dulce, es un lugar simplemente perfecto, a ojos cerrados volveremos a este lugar. (súper recomendado)

This place is a Zen retreat! We had the whole place to ourselves and had a great time waking up to the views of the mountains and enjoying the vastness of the property. Very well curated property. We celebrated 3 birthdays here and had the best time. Great for retreats and family gatherings with celebration. Beautiful 😍

For the moment we saw we knew it was for us everything was spotless well equipped with everythingwe need it Mony was very nice to work and communicate with very quick to respond

Great spot in a quiet neighborhood, close to the supermarket and restaurants. We walked to the Red Frog several times for coffee and meals. 20 min drive to Arenal Park and Mystico. Great touches around the home. Would definitely stay again!

This place is a hidden gem. Irene is one of a kind; always willing to help, very responsive and super super kind. I will be back for sure. Gracias, Irene por toda tu ayuda y amabilidad!

Marco was an amazing host. He was very responsive and helped us with anything that we needed. The property was beautiful. Felt private, loved the little lounge pool and the hammocks all over the property. The back patio was nice and big and we could sit out there and watch the rain and the animals. We saw howler monkeys and tons of birds since Marco puts fruit out for them every day. Having a washer and dryer was an added bonus. The location was perfect and super close to town. Each room had its own AC unit which kept the place nice and cool.

Jose war ein herausragender Gastgeber! Immer gut zu erreichen und für jede Frage zu haben. Es war die gemütlichste Unterkunft unserer Reise durch Costa Rica. Wir haben uns in diesem mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet kleinen Reich sehr sehr wohl gefühlt. Auto konnte sicher im Garten geparkt werden. Alles wunderbar. Unbedingt Paddeltour mit Jose unternehmen!

great location - just close enough to access the arenal area, but also have privacy. loved the decor, felt right at home. was able to stream movies with ease and have dinner on the patio at night.

Incredible views of the Arenal volcano and lake. There was one day of our stay when there was heavy rain most of the afternoon that prevented us from adventuring but it did not feel like the day was wasted because we were able to have a cozy stay in our bedroom with an amazing view of the volcano which which was somehow not covered by the clouds despite the rain. We saw hummingbirds every morning from our window. There is also a delicious restaurant with friendly service down the hill and a small super market a few minutes walk away

Perfect place to stay near La Fortuna. Exceptionally clean, unbelievably beautiful property. We loved everything about our stay as well as the cheap food options right down the road.

Nos gustó mucho el alojamiento, un pequeño paraíso rodeado de naturaleza y diferentes aves. La casa también preciosa y David muy atento. Si puedo repetiré

My wife and I chose this unit for our honeymoon, the space was extremely beautiful and lush. The giant windows opening up into the La fortuna jungle was breathtaking. We spent every evening in the jacuzzi listening to the wildlife and sounds of La fortuna. Fernando had great recommendations and was very friendly. We’re looking forward to returning to this special place.

Muy contentos de disfrutar de tan hermoso lugar, el hospedaje único, bien acondicionado, el entorno muy privado, rodeado de hermosos detalles cuidadosamente agregados para sumarle al magnífico paisaje que se puede ver y respirar, muy agradecidos con Adolfo, más que un anfitrión un amigo en cada una de sus atenciones.

We had an amazing stay at Elixir Arenal! Our favorite times were spent outside on the patio enjoying the rainstorms and birds calling while in the hot tub. The river was also a beautiful spot to read or even nap. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed to make a couple meals at home, and the house was a short drive from markets and delicious restaurants (Chante Verde just down the road was our favorite). Priscilla was very responsive and always willing to adjust the hot tub time for us as we were traveling with kids. Would 100% recommend.
