About this house rental

Nestled in Alajuela Province, this lovely house for $330 per night is a great option for your next break. The Serenity House was built on 2 acres in the heart of the Rainforest, very privately situated far from the noise of the city but close to some of the best attractions and restaurants El Castillo has to offer. The gorgeous infinity edge swimming pool is filled with fresh spring water, and is perfect to refresh while you listen to the Howlers Monkeys, watch the Toucans, Hummingbirds and 20 other species of birds that surround the house. At Serenity create memories that you will treasure forever. The house is big and spacious with beautiful decors from local artists and unique indigenous statues located around the property. The combination of really high ceilings and the location on the edge of a hill with constant breeze makes for no need of Air Conditioning in the house. Plus all of the rooms have ceiling fans and the sliding doors & windows are equipped with screens so you can perfectly leave them open to let the breeze in without worrying about the insects coming in the house. All 3 bedrooms have private bathrooms to give your group the privacy they want. In our fully equipped kitchen, you can delight your family with a energizing breakfast to begin the day or with a delicious dinner to close a memorable day of exploring the rain forest. After dinner sit around and share memories in our comfortable living room with all reclinable leather couches and sofas. - THINGS TO DO: There are lots of tours to keep you entertained for days, Volcano hikes, Zip Lines, Hanging Bridges, ATV tours, Kayak and Paddle-board tours, Rainforest and Waterfall hikes, Horseback riding, Hot Springs, Wildlife watching tours and more. All of these are less than half an hour away from the house. Our concierge is always available at our new and modern Welcome Center to help you book tours, find the best restaurants, book a massage and get the most out of your time in the area. -LOCATION: El Castillo is approx. 3 hours (150km) from both international airports, either in the capital of San Jose, or on the northern pacific coast in Liberia. La Fortuna, which is a small city that offers amenities such as grocery, banking, post office, restaurants, hot springs, excursions and much more, is only 30 minutes away. - GETTING AROUND: You will want a 4WD vehicle. The last drive up to the house is a road made of gravel and rocks. When it rains there are potholes. You will be a lot happier with a 4WD here and in most areas of Costa Rica. While there are a couple of things to see and one restaurant within walking distance of the house, there are many activities that require a 10 to 45 minute drive. You will not be happy waiting for a cab to arrive either coming of going.

What a special place to stay. The view of Arenal is amazing and there are so many birds you can watch all day and see a dozen or more species. Sit on the back deck and watch the hummingbirds…..and there are lots of them. House was very nice, beds are comfy, has all the essential kitchen supplies and the water is potable. The Master has no blinds so be prepared but there is no one to look in so no worries. Note, there are no closets or dressers so you will be living out of your suitcase. As many others have pointed out the drive to the place is more than a little interesting. For sure have a 4WD vehicle, which you need anyway for some of the things to do in the area. There is a restaurant up the hill that is very good and reasonable. We got in late due to a wreck and showed up to eat 20 minutes before they closed. They could not have been nicer and the food was tasty. There was also a group of women doing karioki upstairs which was entertaining.

This property is wonderful. Just the other side of the mountain from la Fortuna and a long drive up a mountain but well worth it. There are lots of things to do and places to eat right near the property and the wildlife you can see out your door is incredible.

A stunning location with a comfortable and well-equipped home. Morning coffee on the patio to watch the toucans along with other birds and the amazing views of the Arenal Volcano made for the best start to each day. There are lots of activities in the area and great places to eat, especially the Ventanita Cafe and the Phoenix. Just make sure you have a four-wheel vehicle to get to and from the house when you leave the main road...it's a must have. We highly recommend Serenity!

Absolutely the best view I've ever had at any of the VRBO's we have stayed in. Make sure you rent a 4x4 to make it to the house but once their it is amazing. It was an easy check in and out. The house is clean and simple but has everything you need.

Serenity House is exactly what is described and all the photos are accurate. The views from the porch are amazing and the wildlife is everywhere. We saw monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds and countless more birds. The nighttime insects are abundant though so be prepared for that. The pool stopped working 2x in our time there and would randomly turn back on, it wasn’t too big of a deal because it was too cold for us to use. The view from the pool is lovely though. As for location…it is VERY remote. The drive up the mountain is very rough and you definitely need 4x4. It was an adventure for sure. We had dinner at The Phoenix our first night and it was perfect. El Patio at the bottom of the road also has outstanding food. Overall, we loved the house and location. Just be prepared for rough roads and bugs and spiders in the house. It is a jungle!

Wonderful house at a great price. It is as described, so be prepared to be a little remote. The local town is wonderful with a great fruit and retable stand, bakery, and restaurants. Each morning we would adventure out for an activity (such as hanging bridges and ziplines). It took about 35 minutes to get to the different destinations. The view from the house is wonderful and as other reviews mention, the wildlife is present! Our only hiccup was with the couple of power outages we had to figure out how to manual open the gate. It was simple enough todo, but did cause a moments pause.
