Waterfront vacation rentals in El Castillo

The view over the lake arenal is just phenomenal! The house has a huge garden with some fruits, herbs & vegetables wich we were allowed to eat. We can for sure recommend.

Beautiful place if you’re looking for peace and quiet!

everything super clean and tidy. ☺️ Pamela was super friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back ☺️☺️

We had a great time! The accommodation is clean and modern. The view is very beautiful on the lake and the breakfast was really delicious. A great place, we would definitely recommend it. Thanks again to our hosts!

There are amazing surroundings at this place. We saw parrots in the trees next to the house, toucans and monkeys. The lake is very big and the home is roomy.

Carole and Paul were great host. They were very friendly and approachable. Amazing breakfast. They even offered free kayaks and fishing which you could do in lake Arenal right from the property access. Highly recommend .

Alex is a great host, very kind and thoughtful. Great place to rest and disconnect. It has all the amenities, a very complete apartment and everything in perfect condition. We hope to return!

This is a very special place with such peacefulness all around. There is a river that surrounds the property and I had a wonderful view from my studio room to watch birds and listen to the river. Johanna is a very kind and attentive host with a charming cat who warmly welcomes you! There is a really nice yoga pavilion space and hammocks to relax.

The home is wonderful and spacious! And the view and location are AMAZING. Truly breathtaking and completely relaxing. Access to the dock is great and you can really feel at peace being able to be on the water like that.

What a great location . Amazing view to get up in morning and having coffee to look over the lake. Amazing. As per reviews it is a rough road 2 small rivers to cross but no problem. Make sure you have a SUV. Went to water falls which was about 30 minutes away. Use the link in the Email works good for maps to get there . I did not check how far we were away from La Fortuna as on map looked close. But we did it as a day trip 2.10 hours away. Did a boat ride which contact was shown in info at the house. Make sure you have what’s app. To communicate. Beds were great and good pillows. Make sure you get you Groceries before you get there as town is 45 minutes away and no Restaurants close so plan to cook. Which was great.

Perfect launch point for our family visit to Costa Rica. We loved our stay here - clean, beautiful home, landscape, location, and incredibly cozy for our family of four. It was a great location to explore the area.

“We had an amazing 13-night stay! The view was absolutely breathtaking, making each day feel like a retreat. Dennis, our host, was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Anytime a minor issue came up, Dennis resolved it immediately, which made us feel truly taken care of. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a beautiful, hassle-free getaway!”

A very nice place to disconnect as a family and enjoy the tranquility of nature. For my group it was very good, we enjoyed it a lot in general, the house is very complete and the place is private. My stay was very good.

We had a wonderful time and it was way above our expectations. The location is perfect, just outside the busy tourists area. Great and friendly neighborhood. The view of Arenal volcano and the lake is stunning. After our 3 night stay, we were sad that it was already time to leave. We will definitely come back again when we are in the area. Our stay was relaxing and very enjoyable. We did a hike at the back of the house that lead to a waterfall and it was the Best hike we did in the area.

everything was what we expected

This small house was perfect for the two of us although there were two bedrooms with space for more people. It was tucked out of the way and backed onto the forest which made for complete privacy. The kitchen was small but stocked with all the basics including a hot plate and microwave. We loved the spacious shower as my husband and I are both tall. Having air conditioning in the bedroom was wonderful! Our kids were staying in a few of Jonathan's cabins just across the way so it was handy for them to come over for breakfast or to play some cards which we did out on the cute patio in the back. Jonathan made sure we had everything we needed and was very accommodating at all times. I highly recommend this quaint little place to anyone looking for a peaceful, quiet place to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of Costa Rica!
