Vacation rentals with lake access in Costa Rica

One of the most beautiful locations, the view over the lake is simply stunning. Magical sunsets. Location is a 10. Super quiet and peaceful, many birds come close to the house and I found it a true delight to hear them sing through the morning. House is spacious, beds are comfortable. Sheets are clean and soft. Kitchen is well equipped. Terrace is just a lovely place to hang out.

Such a beautiful location and the PERFECT villa for my family and I. The property is exactly as per the photos. It is maintained daily by Vincete (awesome guy and super friendly/really helpful). The house was cleaned daily at no extra cost. We had such a wonderful time staying here with 2 young kids, grandma and brother’s family. The view from the kitchen and outdoor area/pool is beautiful and never gets old. Would love to come back again!

The place is very nice and private, the service was good, the house was perfect !!! The place is really quiet, we had a great time !!!

Our stay at Elisabeth and Michael's home was fantastic! We felt as though we had stepped back in time to the early 1900's. They have done an amazing job restoring the place while retaining the original character. Their home is truly a work of art. While there are a few modern conveniences one might find missing, we had everything we needed, were very comfortable and felt completely at home. Michael's breakfast was wonderful and he was always ready to help in every way possible. Our conversations with our hosts were captivating and one of the hi lights of our time in Costa Rica! It is quite apparent that Elisabeth and Michael love Puntarenas and Costa Rica. That affection is quite contagious and we found ourselves more in love with their country having visited with them in their home for a few days and would definitely stay with them again.

This is truly an incredible place! Private pool, away from the business but close enough to enjoy epic beaches, restaurants and all the other things you want to do. I highly recommend staying here.

my family of 5 enjoyed our stay. My inlaws, me, my husband and son all enjoyed the property. It was so relaxing, beautiful and clean and we found it a great base to explore La Fortuna and Arenal area. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting this area.

Very well equipped home in a quiet lakeside community. Laura is a lovely host and is proactive and friendly. Loved that there are screens on the windows and doors to be able to use fans downstairs and not have to go between pool and cold AC. Great bike paths and trails, a 5min drive to the beach. Hermosa beach isn’t a swimming beach, but you can still go in the shallow end during low tide for a dip. They haven’t yet cleaned up the logs and debris from the shoreline, so it’s still a bit rough, but nice for a long walk. Would definitely stay again!

The place is very spacious and clean. Excellent communication from the host. Clean and nice pool! I would recommend going by high car since the road is ballast and there are slopes. We loved the place 🤩

An excellent place, you can feel the peace. Surrounded by nature and in a great location. 100% recommended

I booked this for my coworkers. I was the only one in communication with the host and I was in another country and it all worked out. It was so smooth

A really nice and cozy place.

Lovely place with a beautiful lake view. The check-in mechanism allow us enter at early morning when we were coming from my sister’s wedding. Highly recommend if you what to spend a peaceful night with the song of the lake/river and births and delicious native food restaurants around the area. Thanks Yinley for this opportunity!!!

We stayed a couple of days where Cristian to rest and recharge batteries. He is very nice and friendly. The apartment had everything we needed, from a delicious coffee, to extra blankets for the cold. We highly recommend it.

Great place, great host. Upon arrival by boat, we were received directly and everything necessary was explained. Requests were responded to and helped quickly. Very clean space with smart TV, coffee maker, fridge (very clean) and great bathroom. Very cozy bed overlooking the lagoon. In the morning (5.30 am) you can hear howler monkeys. The place is about 15 min from the center, the path can be found very intuitively. All in all highly recommended and great host 👍👍

It is a very healthy area, easily moves where you want to go and everything is within reach, restaurant and shops in general

Ruben was an amazing host! Place was super cozy and he was SUPER NICE! We couldnt feel more at home than what we did! This was the consensus of myself, wife and kids! Will look for this place when going to Costa Rica!!

Amazing place! Great views. We had a problem with our shower and they sent someone to fix it right away. We stayed here to visit the cascadas celetes, it was about an hour from there.

The property is very cozy and the place where it is located looks very safe, and the property is exactly as shown in the photos. Playa Dominical and Playa Hermosa are an hour away, the streets to get to the place are in good condition. Communication with the owners was excellent and we always felt that they were looking to help us with our queries. The property does not have air conditioning but the nights are cool because it has good ventilation and with the fans it is enough to keep the house cool at night.

Great place to spend a weekend or some vacation time, with a tiny supermarket nearby which can be reached out by walking. Adrian was very responsive, making the stay even better. I recommend the place and would stay again when going to La Fortuna

This was property matched the description and the pictures well. El Castillo is a more peaceful area than La Fortuna and close enough to feel like you can go back and forth without any issue. The view from the porch hot tub is stunning and makes up for the rustic amenities within the cabin. There was daily construction starting at 6:00am on the house next-door, however, so I probably would not have chosen this property if I had known that before-hand.

very peaceful place with a great pool

Absolutely loved our stay! The property is stunning, with beautifully maintained grounds and breathtaking views of the volcano. Very private - no one else nearby. Our kids couldn’t get enough of the pool and jacuzzi—it was the perfect place to relax. The location is great too, just a quick and easy 15-minute drive into downtown. Kenneth was an exceptional host—super responsive and thoughtful, even leaving fresh coconuts in the fridge for us. We would definitely stay here again!

A very quiet place to enjoy as a family with all amenities, excellent to go with pets since there is a lot of space, the host is always attentive and friendly, in end everything is very good.

Karolina was an amazing host and the airbnb was beautiful beyond our expectations. The family welcomed us into the home and were extremely responsive in helping us get settled and acquainted with the area. We loved the stay and wish we could’ve stayed more!
