We had a wonderful stay. Our group of 9 people had 4 kids aged 4-7 and the pool area was perfect for them! There are plenty of beds and seating area in the house to accommodate quite large groups.

Lovely home for our family. We enjoyed our stay and Eder was very helpful with all our needs.
Two items that could be improved:
1. We had two elderly family members with us. The house does not accommodate people with mobility issues. There are unnecessary steps within the house and uneven landscaping walkways outside. It would be good if this were stated in the description.
2.After a huge day of travel, we had to stop at the office downtown before proceeding to the house. It would have been much easier if someone from the office just met us at the house to let us in. It added another 30 minutes to an already long day.

Our family had a terrific time staying at Eder & Allen's property. While we were not off on a fun adventure, booked for us by Allen at Home Vacation Properties, we were chilling poolside just taking in the perfect temperature that Costa Rica had to offer. Accommodations were exactly as advertised and Allen was quite responsive every time we reached out. Thanks for booking all those excursions for us Allen, our family really enjoyed them!

We had a lovely time staying at Arenal Family Home. Spacious, well stocked and walking distance to La Fortuna. Giselle was very helpful, especially when we forgot to get milk from the store or had trouble ordering food from a local restaurant. The vacation rental manager helped us with transportation. Jesus, our driver, was informative and kept us tranquilo in Pura Vida style!
Highly recommend Arenal Family Home.

We were very happy with our stay. It was clean, quiet and a great location for us. We had a rental car and were advised to not drive up at night after our flight arrived. Very good advice!
Our host, Giselle was very sweet and helpful.
We had one dinner and two breakfasts which were all great.
It was very easy to find the property and super convenient to everything we wanted to see in La Fortuna. Highly recommend the waterfall and the Mistico Park with the swinging bridges. We also enjoyed the Natura Preserve with butterflies/frogs/snakes/crocs/turtles/pigs and rabbits.

We stayed at this home with another family, 13 in all. There was plenty of room for all of us, and it was very comfortable. Our kids really enjoyed the pool with the waterfall. Gisele cooked dinners for us which were both delicious and very convenient after touring. Speaking of touring, the property management company did a great job of coordinating tours for us. Eder and Alonzo were fantastic.

This was our 1st time in Costa Rica and the overall experience was amazing. We were a group of 15 ages 24- 35. Eder was extremely helpful in setting up all activities, transportation, and even meals. Some things I'd recommend doing would be the hanging bridges tour, ziplining, and Arenal volcano hike. We pretty much did this all in about 2 days which I thought was enough time. The property was about a 15 minute walk to downtown La Fortuna where you have different food options. About 10 minutes from the house was a local watering hole where we went and got to swim. The house was perfectly located, and gated which was not needed but nice to have. Additionally, we ate breakfast each morning at the house where we got home cooked meals which were very good and affordable. Overall, great experience and highly recommend.

Our stay at this house was wonderful. I left a review already but here is another. The house was spotless clean and very comfortable. The pool was immaculate and we enjoyed the waterfall and bbq deck. Gisselle is an excellent cook and teacher. We loved her cooking class for tortilla making. We couldn’t have asked for more. Pura Vida!

The home is in a good location just south of downtown Fortuna. Only a 5 min drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Very clean and typical to the area. The hosts live right next door and were very helpful when we needed something.
5.0
This location was private and secure. It’s spacious enough to give people room to do what they want. Unfortunately it rained when we were there, so we didn’t get to try the pool. Guiselle is an on-site house manager. We were able to put in a breakfast request with her for the morning we left. It was nice not having to think about where to eat or running out to get groceries.
5.0
Giselle, Eder and Alonzo are the absolute best. They communicated quickly and ALWAYS were willing to help. We could not have been happier or more satisfied.
5.0
We had a wonderful stay at this property! The owners live in a separate house on the property and we’re very welcoming. You only see them when you need them so you have a lot of privacy. We had Eder book all of our excursions and they were fantastic. We are already planning our next trip to LaFortuna!!

The host was extremely nice and accommodating to our large party. The pool and large house with lots of sleeping areas was perfect for our large family gathering! We loved the outdoor area and the homemade meals!

The on-site owners were amazing and we felt like family. The on-site restaurant meals were SO good, fresh and and varied. You could choose American or Costa Rican for the meals and we LOVED all of them! We were so sad to leave, you must stay here and enjoy the family traditions and love of Costa Rica!

Everything was so organized for our stay in La Fortuna. The bus from the airport, check-in, delicious meals on the property to the tours that we requested were all perfect.
5.0
The home was great for our group, we had a mix of age ranges - young kids to grandparents. The pool was nice because it wasn't super deep and the kids could touch all the way to the deep end. I would also recommend utilizing the option of homemade meals at the home of the property owner - the food was delicious and she was a wonderful host! Lots of space for sleeping and nice outdoor space for bird viewing.

Just south of town about 1km. You can walk to town, but I recommend driving. A few blocks from one of the better dining experience we had in CR (Tiquicia Restaurant). Super close to an awesome local swim hole (El Salto rope swing).

House is very private and quiet. Perfect location. Walking distance to everything you need and downtown. The host (Guselle) is so sweet and accommodating and a wonderful cook.

Perfect house for our family of 10
This spacious home was ideal for grandparents, adult children and 4 grandchildren. It was convenient to all attractions. Mistico Hanging Bridges, Baldi, Chocolate Tour, Don Rufino's Restaurant etc. LOVED the pool and outdoor play area. Be sure and use Eder and Allen Home Vacations for your tours. Great communication, pricing and best of all ALFONSO was our tour guide. He is knowledgeable, loves the outdoors and a wonderful teacher about nature/animals for adults and children alike.

Close to Town
This property is very close to town. It’s within walking distance of the free rope swing. A good base for La Fortuna activities that is less expensive than the hot springs resorts just out of town.

An amazing place to stay!
Our family of 7 had a wonderful time staying at this home. I would highly recommend. You are away from town to allow some privacy, but still close enough to walk to restaurants and grocery store. The house was very clean, and the outside was like your own little taste of paradise. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking if you choose. We enjoyed a typical Costa Rica dinner and breakfast, which was delicious, prepared by Gisselle, who was very kind and a lovely woman. Allen, the property manager did an excellent job arranging our adventures and also arranging taxi services for us. We would definitely return to this beautiful town and home.
