Pet-friendly holiday rentals in San Carlos

This location was great if you want to stay close but not too close to La Fortuna. The house is very private and clean. We highly recommend if you want to stay somewhere peaceful with minimal foot traffic.

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!

This home is beautiful! Hidden right in the center of La Fortuna, with a great volcano view, and a walkable distance to many shops and restaurants. Everything was super clean when we checked in. Marvin even picked us up from the airport and offered very fairly priced transportation. He also gave great food and activity recommendations, and even arranged private tours for us. Definitely would stay at his place again!

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.

Excellent communication with Johnatan, quick responses to our inquiries and ongoing support from him. The accommodation is well located, it is comfortable. It met our expectations

Very nice house. Peaceful setting. Beautiful view of the mountains.

Leslye’s place was amazing! The pool was a little green when we arrived but they cleaned it the very next day without asking. Super great location ti everything in Fortuna, definitely staying here when I come back…

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!

It is an extremely BEAUTIFUL place, perfect for disconnecting and renewing energies, super complete, cozy, the place was spotless, they took care of every detail, it has everything at hand to not worry about anything, the pool super clean and relaxing my husband and I stayed four days and it didn't reach us to enjoy so much that the place offers and the house, definitely the host is a beautiful person, super friendly and sweet, it is just a perfect place, we will come back to this place closed eyes. (highly recommended)

very peaceful place with a great pool

Jose’s place was just like the pictures, incredible! It really feels like you are in the middle of the jungle, you can hear all of the different types of animals, it’s amazing!

This is a mountain top oasis. We loved the view of the Arenal volcano from the infinity pool. The place was the perfect size for our two families. There was plenty of room for everyone. Mario was very attentive to our needs. We even got the opportunity to milk a cow and visit the farm. If you visit La Fortuna, you should consider staying here, you are close to town but still in the country.

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

I recommend it! To spend some relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle! Take into account that at first impression it is scary in the streets, you have to pass a stream but I went by minibus and the street is not really bad, but you must know how to maneuver 💯

Stay here on your La Fortuna visit! The apartment is beautiful, plenty of space for a couple and very clean. Amazing view of the volcano from the room. Located right in downtown La Fortuna, incredibly walkable area with lots of restaurants. We walked to most of our excursions, but it was easy to find an uber/taxi from the place as well. Host was incredibly helpful with recommendations and very flexible. We will stay here again when we come back!

This property was absolutely stunning and peaceful! We were able to see some wildlife such as birds, frogs, fishes and cows. Johan was very quick to respond and proactive.

The place is beautiful and the view spectacular, everything clean. Same as photos. We recommend taking a large cart.

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.

An incredible place, a unique peace and tranquility, Amalia is super friendly and answered all my questions quickly and in a good way. I would definitely be back again! Also, I want to highlight that the place is super clean and comfortable!

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.

The place was very private and safe, all accommodations as described. Very close to the city center. If I had to nitpick, the mattress was extremely hard as well as the pillows. Everything else was amazing, Cristian is very responsive and proactive.
