Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Lake Arenal

Andrea was kind and very helpful with recommendations and responsive. Her place had everything that we needed for a very comfortable stay. Clean and neat and the option to do laundry was much appreciated!

Great, person!!! Super friendly

Excellent accommodation, very comfortable and well-equipped. Located a few meters from a main avenue with many shops and restaurants. The place is very clean and the area has a lot of privacy and feels safe. Our host John was very attentive, communication was excellent. He advised us and managed activities and excursions very well, so don't hesitate to consult him and hire him. Highly recommended for a stay in this wonderful place called La Fortuna.

Maria was helping to communicate and trying to reach out every time before we arrived . We feel that we are taken care by her so ! Thanks Maria

The apartment was one of the bests during our time in Costa Rica. It is very clean, nicely furnished and has a stunning view down on the forest and the ocean. There are some good sunset spots nearby but you can also see it from the terrace. Yesenia is super friendly and easy to reach either down the stairs or via AirBnB. There are plenty of activity options in the area around and Santa Elena is a cute town with many restaurants and souvenir shops.

Great place with a really convenient location. Very easy to walk to the town center. Comfortable beds, great water pressure and temperature. We didn’t end up using the pool but it was a nice option to have. The place had everything we needed for a short stay in La fortuna and the host was very friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay in one of the deluxe bungalows. The outside porch area with jacuzzi was perfect and where we hung out most of the time when not exploring. Lots of birds visiting. The jacuzzi was especially great when it was pouring rain in the evenings, just had to make sure to turn it on before we left for the day so that it was nice and warm when we got back. The only thing to note is that you’re not likely to get a hot shower, water was lukewarm, but it was not a problem for us. We would come back to stay here if ever in the area again.

Mau’s place is an absolute gem. Its location was perfect for our stay in La Fortuna. She was also very responsive and provided us with suggestions for a lot of activities to do in the area. We highly recommend this place if you are in the area.

Great stay, the house extremely spacious and the beds are pretty comfortable…Maria was very nice and met us at the house which made the check-in process super smooth and easy, and the location was great…for the price we paid it’s a great value, would definitely recommend this place in La Fortuna

We absolutely loved our stay at Karla’s house on the river! It was absolutely beautiful, amazing yard for the adults to relax and children to play. Karla gave us the perfect restaurant & market recommendations, absolutely perfect stay & location.

Nice house, well located and equipped! It has everything you need to have a very pleasant family stay.

Eva's place was incredibly peaceful and private with a beautiful, well tended garden out back. With the windows open, you don't feel the need for AC at all (it was very cool during our stay in early March.) The windows do not have any screens, which created a few humorous encounters with critters, but we had a great time. It is also a tricky/steep drive along rocky mountain roads to most places, but this seemed to be the case for everywhere here (except maybe in Santa Elena itself.) We had a great time and Eva was a great host.

Stay here! It's an inside outside house - the bedroom and bathroom are in air conditioned comfort, everything else is outside... The pool is perfect, the grounds are beautiful. We were away for 30 days across Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico City and Casa Pura Vida was the stand out accommodation. We'll book it again when we return to Costa Rica.

We loved visiting Casa Mabri, it's a spectacular place with everything you need to stay, located in a very safe place and close to downtown. Bryan is an excellent host who was always attentive to our questions. I would definitely come back and I recommend it.

A really friendly and easy place to stay. You're left in peace, but very welcome, you feel like part of the furniture. My brothers were staying locally with their families and this place was perfect location for me to relax once we had all finished hanging out for the day. Activities are often from La fortuna so it's adds a few more minutes drive, but nice to be out of the hub. Bed was comfy. Kitchen good and very clean. Lots of towels. Use of washer/drier was useful to get things washed quickly. Host always there to advise via text and popped round a few times to say hi. I added another day no problem. The tour goes on through out the day, it's really interesting and fun. Lots of samples and facts to remember. The first tour is at 8am and you can hear chatting for a few minutes as the vanilla orchids are near the house and they stop to explain about them. I was always awake so not a problem. It's always an early start in this area with so much to do! Recommended !!

We stayed here for two nights and loved it. The view was amazing. Everything we needed was there. Magarle’s super sweet cat spent a lot of time with us. We loved the hot tub at night after traveling or being on the go all day. Magarle was very kind and super helpful with suggestions. We had a couple issues with the hot water and she fixed it immediately. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The place is impeccable, with very good facilities, Cristian was always very attentive and kind, we had a personal problem that he helped us solve, I would come back every time! Super recommended

Great stay. The place was clean and in a great area. Christian is extremely attentive and responsive. Highly recommend.

Awesome place with beautiful views. Restaurant downstairs has excellent food and drinks.

Cristian was very attentive, the apartment was very clean and the pool is very nice, we would love to return
