This was not a typical stay at a VRBO. The owner of the property is very present. We were simply looking for a house to rent. Not what we expected.

We had such a fantastic time at this beautiful property. Curt is a phenomenal human armed with a plethora of knowledge and the best stories and his partner, Vielka was amazing too (and a phenomenal cook). We had them fix us 1 dinner and we received 2 breakfast’s during our stay and it’s not an exaggeration to say that everything that was cooked for us was the best of each thing we ever had. The fresh juice and amazing coffee and conversation's is something we will truly miss! We wish we had booked the second dinner as well. HIGHLY recommend this place if you’re planning a stay in La fortuna. We wish we could leave 6 stars. It was a beautiful oasis outside of the town with the most peaceful vibe. We will absolutely come back, mostly for the food but the hospitality we receive was like nothing we’ve ever experienced in all our travels. We don’t often leave review but this house and hosts deserves more then 5 stars ❤️

The house was incredible! The owners were too. The photos show it all, does not disappoint! Rental includes daily breakfast (+/- optional dinner for an additional cost). All food items we selected were authentic local dishes, all accommodated to our preferences and schedule! We are a family of six (kids ages 16, 14, 12 & 12) and our stay was more than comfortable. The owner is very knowledgeable of the area and took a lot of stress off from us travelers having to navigate the foreign area ourselves. I would recommend Casa Cielo to anyone and everyone visiting the area. If we can go back, I would return and explore the area more!

We had an incredible stay at Casa Cielo! It felt like we had a private resort all to ourselves. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck looking for wildlife. Curt was an amazing host. He greeted us on arrival, checked-in on us every day and answered all our questions. A real treat was when he gave us a full tour of the property and shared the history and plans. Mauren was a phenomenal cook, and such a sweetheart. We were a bit worried about the drive to La Fortuna, but it turned out to be a nice drive with great scenery. We took advantage of the location to see things outside of La Fortuna. Curt recommended the Children’s Eternal Rainforest, the drive there was a bit rough (need 4-wheel drive) but one of the most beautiful hikes we’ve been on, and we had the place all to ourselves. We also opted for an ATV/Hot springs tour from La Finca, about the same distance as Arenal but in another direction. We got to see a new area, less touristy. We LOVED the hot springs, there were only 2 other local families there, so had the place almost all to ourselves again! Curt recommended Carlos for a private tour. Not only was he a phenomenal and informative tour guide, but he was an invaluable resource in helping me plan for the trip. He answered so many questions I had on what to bring and what to except on my first time to Costa Rica.

What an amazing and unique time we had! We spent 4 nights at this house, and it is more beautiful than in the pictures. We also got to know the owner, and he took us on a tour of the property which was great! The food was outstanding! Breakfast was ready each morning at whatever time we requested, and we had dinner cooked for us 3 of the 4 nights. Everything was fabulous! We drove into La Fortuna every day, and it is a hike but worth it to stay here!

This property is great for families. It's about 30 minutes from town and the road there for the last mile is unpaved and rocky but you don't need a 4WD. We were a party of 8 with kids aged 10, 12 and 15. The kids loved feeding the fish off the balcony in the morning. All of us looked forward to the breakfast that Miranda (who is the sweetest person ever) made for us each day. Miranda only speaks Spanish so one person in our group who speaks limited Spanish did most of the communicating, but if you put Google Translate on your phone you will do just fine. There were five options for breakfast and you pick one for the group the day before and let Miranda know what time you would like breakfast to be ready. We had pancakes (gluten free options available), waffles, eggs, bacon, chorizo, plantains, cheese, fresh fruits, tortilla espanola, oatmeal, rice and beans, squash and a different fresh fruit juice every day. Miranda will make dinner as well for $22/person. We did that one night, but the kids didn't eat very much so we opted to eat dinners out or cook at home. There is a market in town (Rosvil) where we picked up groceries. The house, like most of the places we visited does not have air conditioning. It was a little hot on the days when the rain didn't come so the only recommendation I would have is for there to be a box fan in every room to put next to the window. Overall we loved our stay at Casa Cielo!
