Kid-friendly vacation rentals in San Carlos

Jason’s place was very peaceful and clean, me and my family had a great time at the pool, the bbq, and all the nature that surrounds the house. Jason is reachable, kind and very responsive. If you want to rest and have a reconnection with your inner self, casa Anajade is a great place to visit.

We had an amazing time. The place is a short drive from La fortuna falls and walkable distance from the river. About 25mins drive to get to Arenal. Easy to find and has parking right out the door. There are plenty of restaurants a short drive away. Camilo was also very kind and gave us great local recommendations and helped us plan to make most of our time. Would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing stay here! The location was easy to find and not too far from the airport. There were definitely lots of local stores and restaurants to visit near by. We recommend Resturante Ross! The views especially early morning were amazing overall we have no complaints. Our favorite part was visiting the farm animals! Oscar was so nice and welcoming.

Jose, his family and friends were more than welcoming to us from the moment we came to the Airbnb! Quick responses and always there to lend us a hand or guide us to anything we may need! Amazing food at a local restaurant, horseback riding on his land with lots of things to see and learn about! His pool at the Airbnb was absolutely amazing! We loved getting to meet his family members and socializing with them! I would highly recommend this Airbnb to everyone in near the La Fortuna area!!! Ps wait until you see his 2nd one they are building right now!! Thank you soo very much! We loved everyone moment at your home!

Fabian was really fast at responding, and would check up on us if we needed anything. Super helpful and was willing to help with everything. Everything is like in the pictures but even better

We had a wonderful week-long stay at Monstera House. The home is exactly as described in the listing. The bathroom is so beautiful, the pool was spotless, and the rest of the house was amazingly clean. Sandra cooked us a Costa Rican breakfast every morning, which was such a sweet addition to our stay. We drove about 15 minutes every evening to get to La Fortuna for dinner, and about 30min-1hour for excursions in the morning near La Fortuna. Ubers are very accessible in the area, which we took often to dinner. Sandra was very helpful and responded very quickly. We can’t recommend this Airbnb enough!!

Yoi was super responsive and helpful during my entire stay! It felt right at home and I felt like a family member staying here. They live literally right across so any problems I had they were quick to solve. The terrace is beautiful & peaceful, as well as the kitchen area outside. This place is a 5 min walk to El Santo and near a bunch of restaurants. Yoi has been the best host I’ve met and when I come back to La Fortuna I’ll be staying here again.

Jason's place is amazing. Very well kept and clean with plenty of space, a great outdoor area to enjoy with a huge hot tub, panoramic windows in the main bedroom, and only 10 minutes from the main town. Ubers are easily ordered from the house as well. Thank you for the great stay!

We loved the apartment. it had everything we needed and was in a great location.

Excellent stay at this Airbnb. The place was clean, well equipped, and in a great location.

This Airbnb was the perfect peaceful escape. Cozy and surrounded by lush greenery, we fell asleep each night to the sound of rain, birds, and a flowing stream behind the house. The outdoor jacuzzi worked great and was the perfect way to unwind. We especially loved the netted lounge area, it felt like floating in the trees while watching birds and wildlife pass through. We also felt very safe during our stay. The extra security measures in place that gave us peace of mind without disrupting the natural, relaxed vibe. Just down the road, the organic restaurant Harmony was a gem. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely return.

Hands down the BEST Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away—the views are absolutely to die for. Waking up to panoramic jungle scenery with toucans and monkeys right off the balcony felt like something out of a dream. The home was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was Jose—he went above and beyond to make sure every request was met with care and hospitality. You can tell he genuinely wants guests to have the best experience possible. We didn’t want to leave! Already dreaming about when we can come back.

John’s place is in a perfect location. We loved the stay, the gated parking lot was an added bonus. Would stay again on our next visit to La Fortuna!

It was a really nice stay. Close to town and walkable to a few sodas, restaurants, el salto swing and many other things. All the transport found the place easy and it was easy to get in and out of. Carlos was super welcoming with many recommendations and great at communicating!

Rocio was very responsive and helpful! Place was nice and clean and close to a lot of restaurants

We stayed for 6 nights and truly enjoyed ourselves. The hosts were quick to respond with any questions. It’s a very peaceful area but still a 5 minute walk to anything you need. The backyard pool was amazing for my kids. There is the Arenal Sanctuary Reserve a short walk past the house, we saw so many frogs and it’s a nice easy walk with breathtaking views. The house itself was clean and comfortable with just enough that you could still cook at home if you needed, we did most days. There are so many sodas and restaurants within walking distance as was the main grocery store. We fell in love with this area and would definitely stay here again.

Found our stay at the apartment comfortable and enjoyable. The place was spotlessly clean. The bedrooms were spacious and the mattresses comfortable as were the sofas in the living space. It was an ideal location for our base for the week, close to town and restaurants, but also perfect as a sanctuary from some spectacular rain and thunderstorms that would roll in. We never really used the kitchen for cooking but it had all the amenities. The shower had good water pressure and hot water if needed. Our hosts were very friendly and responsive to any questions. If we needed it, fresh towels and sheets were available as was a tidy and clean of the garbage and bathroom from the helpful lady who worked there. We stayed for just over a week and would happily return and recommend to others.

Well located apartment with everything you need and a beautiful terrace! Everything is within walking distance! Communication was easy and nice!👍🏻:-)

This was a great location for exploring La Fortuna. A short walk from everything. Quiet at night.

The place is super centrally located and offers everything you need. There is a parking space right outside the door, and shopping is right around the corner. We were even able to check in very early because our health was not doing so well – that was a great help. The flexible extension of our stay also worked out great. Veronika is a great host and offered us her translation support when we had a medical incident. Thank you for everything!

Great place right in the centre of La Fortuna. Very secure apartment - had everything we needed! Would highly recommend

Very well located and amazing host

We had everything we needed and we didn't miss anything. The place is very quiet - secluded from the main road. Some storage space would have been nice but was not disturbing. There was also enough equipment for cooking, even if some things are outdated. All in all, you really can't complain - this is complaining to a high standard.

It's a great place to stay at, however, what we missed was hot water at the kitchen and bathroom sinks. otherwise all good, we'd recommend it.
