House vacation rentals in Alajuela Province

Amazing property. Felt more like staying at a high end resort. Extremely clean with great outdoor space and pool. Well stocked and safe with a gated entrance. Highly recommend.

We had an incredible stay in La Fortuna with our family, including our 3-year-old and 1-year-old. The home is perfectly situated right at the base of the volcano, offering unobstructed, stunning views—we could see Arenal from the living room and even while relaxing outside. The host was extremely thoughtful, leaving cold beers and champagne in the fridge for us, which was such a warm welcome after a long drive. Communication was excellent, and the concierge-style service made it easy to plan activities that worked for both adults and young kids. The space felt peaceful, safe, and well-equipped for a family. We’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area—especially families looking for comfort, scenery, and great hospitality.

Place is great, view is awesome, Hilario did a great job during the horseback ride , he was friendly. If I come back to Costa Rica we will stay here again is total worth it.

Hosts are the nicest so responsive very helpful. The balcony has the nicest view wow!

Hosts were very responsive and helpful! Views were breathtaking and the home was very comfortable for our family of 5

Beautiful place, with a pool and a private jacuzzi. Surrounded by nature. Tracy the host and Doña Maria the cleaning lady were exceptional and friendly. Very well-equipped house. We would definitely come back

We loved staying at Casa Santa Fe! We even wish we could go back because our time there felt too short. When we arrived we had complementary platano chips and traditional Costa Rica drinks waiting for us. The space was very clean and made us feel comfortable. The pool was amazing and a great addition! We enjoyed our nights in watching TV together on the couch on rainy nights. As well as the variety of options of excursions to do and good restaurants to eat at! Danny was also very responsive and helpful, which we appreciated, it being our first time in Costa Rica. Even after our stay, he was helpful in offering us new options for another Airbnb when we needed it. We would definitely stay again!

It truly is a little slice of heaven! Pictures don’t come close to doing it justice! We stayed 3 nights. It was easy to get to and close to the La Fortuna area. We can’t recommend pie in the sky enough! From check in to checkout it was wonderful!

a family of 4 had a wonderful time here! highly recommend!

The home was exactly as described and offers beautiful views of the lake! The home is close to La Fortuna and all attractions. The layout worked well for our family (older adult child and two teenagers). Nancy is a great host and gave us good suggestions for things to do! We enjoyed our stay in El Castillo/Lake Arenal area and will be back!

Brandon’s place is absolutely amazing. The house is beautiful and the view is stunning. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay near La Fortuna!

While many other reviews mentioned it, I’ll have to note here again: the view is amazing. I enjoy taking so many photos through out our trip as the view is spectacular and it chnages quickly at different times, different weather. The weather has been kind to us so it only rained very hard mostly at night and few hours in the afternoon (mid June). Sitting out on the deck in the morning is peaceful and not too cold. All of the descriptions are accurate. The road coming here is rough but so is almost everywhere else in Monteverde. Definitely one of the best Airbnb places we’ve been.

Aqua Vida is simply amazing. Words cannot describe how you’ll feel when you see everything you get with this property. It’s off the main road in La Fortuna but it’s very safe and peaceful. You get all the privacy you want while being 5 minutes away from everything in town. A huge natural spring pool, a covered area where you can cook, have your meals or just hangout, a huge yard to play in, a stream going through the property with beautiful trees and absolutely stunning landscaping. All this and you’re still not even in the house. Book this place. You’ll be happy you did.

Had a great stay at The Star House. Beautiful sunsets and rainbows. My kids loved watching the leaf cutter ants out in the yard. Also loved watching the hummingbirds and even a toucan from the swinging bucket seats with a cool gentle breeze. Very peaceful and relaxing. Comfortable beds and plenty of hot water from the solar powered water heater. Kitchen well-equipped, including coffee. Would definitely stay here again!

Such a special place where we were warmly welcomed like family. Anyara took us on a tour of the beautiful property and showed us the frogs. The family has created such a wonderful refuge, full of life and beauty. Our lodging was comfortable and clean. We got a great night sleep and had a fabulous morning exploring more of the property. We received recommendations for dining that proved to be top-notch. We were only able to spend one night and wish we had more. Came as guests and left as friends. I will come back to Costa Rica just to spend more time here. Worth stopping even for one night. Magic!

We had a beautiful stay at Maribel’s home! It was so clean! The bed was very comfortable and so were the pillows! The set up of the home is beautiful and spacious with a full kitchen for all your needs! Perfection (:

Great stay! Beautiful place with amazing views and peaceful surroundings. Host was very responsive and helpful. Thank you for such a pleasant experience.

Beautiful home was very clean and had excellent air conditioning. Fantastic location only 1-2km from parts of La Fortuna where we kept going for new restaurants or shopping. The location is ideal because you are just out of range of the noise and lights, close enough so everything is accessible, and the beautiful view of Arenal from the 2nd story balcony just can't be beat. Responsive hosts including a local expert were all quick to respond to any question, and a great source of suggestions. My family would love to stay here again the next time we visit.

We absolutely loved Bob's place! We stayed for 2 nights: 2 kids and 2 adults. The place is big, comfortable and beautiful jungle views and surroundings. What stood out the most is how attentive Bob was and went above and beyond to make sure we felt right at home. He responded quickly to anything we asked and was super helpful not only at Casita but also when we had random questions about Costa Rica culture or recommendations around town. There is a ton of nature to observe from the clean and well appointed Casita. Bob took us on a personal night walk through the property to spot frogs and other nocturnal creatures. The kids had a blast in the pool. Thanks Bob!

Absolutely incredible stay! I would recommend this place to anyone. The interior of the place was special, and the view of the valley was stunning! It was an easy transport into La Fortuna, which was great, but also far enough away where we felt secluded from the tourism and at peace. 10/10 recommend.

Carols home was the perfect place for our family of 4. Having the private pool and outdoor kitchen were amazing. The home was very clean and we had all the amenities we needed. The tour guide she suggested, Carlos, provided us the absolute best tour of our whole vacation. He even picked us up at the home. We would highly recommend Carol’s home if you want to stay in La Fortuna.

An incredible view in an amazing area! We hope to return again!

We had an unforgettable stay at Jessy’s beautiful home in Monteverde. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views and the peaceful, natural setting. The floor-to-ceiling windows made us feel completely immersed in the cloud forest—it was like waking up in the middle of a dream. Jessy was an exceptional host—kind, thoughtful, and welcoming. She even left us a sweet note and some local treats to sample, which was such a lovely touch. The home itself was spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the jacuzzi was the perfect way to unwind after a long day of hiking and exploring. If you’re looking for a quiet, secluded getaway where you can truly connect with nature, this is the place. We can’t recommend it enough and hope to return someday!

The place is as shown in the photos, the view is unparalleled, the cottage has everything you need to cook and the hosts are very friendly, private and close to the center of Tronadora, excellent.
