Vacation rentals in Boca de Sabalos

this was a nice and simple place to stay near arenal. Andreas was very helpful in giving us recommendations. I recommend this airbnb.

We had a great time. Very spacious home on a lot of land. Great for large groups.

Lucia's place was a beautiful spot. We're so happy that we chose Nuevo Arenal over La Fortuna because it gave us a small Costa Rican villager experience while staying in an amazing house. Access to everything was great and very easy.

Greetings, I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay. We loved the views of the lake and mountains. The view from the living room is a constant reminder of the incredible natural beauty of Arenal. We enjoyed how the morning light fills the house, especially the main bedroom. We cooked almost every day. Great stove and a well equipped kitchen was a plus and saved us a lot of money. The house is cozy with great views. The grounds are beautiful and enhance the surrounding natural beauty. We really enjoyed the quiet comfort of the house and the environment you have created. Thank you, Michael and Johanna Bresnan, (Andrea Kent's Parents)

We have an incredible view, privacy and the possibility to rest in the garden both day and night. We have access to nearby areas such as Tejina and downtown Tilaran, which also made it easy to purchase additional items.

Amazing and peaceful view! Place is nicer than the pictures look as well. This place is about equidistant to Arenal as La Fortuna is - and I ended up being happy we didn’t stay in La Fortuna! There are a few great restaurants close by to this location as well. Would stay again!

Had a great vacation at this beautiful home, we are a family of 5 with 3 girls (15, 13, and 11). The kids loved having their own room and bathroom. The "kids room" is located in the back corner of the property with the pool in-between the main guest house and the kids room, worked out great for us. We loved the open air outdoor kitchen. House is nicely removed from La Fortuna but the main guest house does back to the road and can hear the traffic, while light, in the evenings and morning while sleeping, not a big issue. We spent our days exploring the area, loved the food at Jalapas, La Fortuna waterfall, rope swing, ATV and Hot Spring combo excursion (La Finca Lodge, check it out! Only 12 people at the hot spring), and Judah set us up on a white water rafting trip that was a blast! Pool was bigger than expected and enjoyed while we were on the property. Used the propane grill and outdoor burners. Beds comfortable. The grounds are very well kept and have a very nice walking path.

If I could give this Airbnb more than five stars, I would! From the moment I booked, the host’s communication was nothing short of exceptional. Not only did he provide detailed instructions, but he also went above and beyond, offering the safest and most scenic route to the property—an extra touch that set the tone for an incredible stay. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a thoughtfully curated welcome basket, a gesture that instantly made us feel at home. The property itself? Immaculate. Every corner was spotless, every detail carefully considered. And the views—breathtaking, mesmerizing, the kind of beauty that makes you pause and soak it all in. Truly, words don’t do it justice. During our stay, the propane tank running out (which cannot be predicted) but before we even had a moment to think about it, the issue was resolved within minutes. That level of attentiveness and service is rare and speaks volumes about the host’s dedication to his guests’ experience. Would rent again !
