Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sonafluca

Amazing place. We loved hanging out on the deck and watching nature throughout the day. We also used the hot tub and took a walk through the gorgeous property down to the pool area for a swim. Also made a nice salad from what we collected in the garden. Thanks for the hospitality in a very special place!

All the reviews are spot on! This is our 3rd trip to Costa Rica and we were looking for something a little different than a normal stay at a resort. Eduardo & Marshal (father & son) were the most wonderful hosts and made us feel so welcome. The house is huge! We enjoyed the balcony the most because you won’t have a better view in all of Costa Rica. It’s phenomenal! Towels were provided for trips to the hot springs. We did a rafting trip with our boys in the area, recommended and booked by Eduardo, that we will always remember. If you want to see toucans flying in the wild…book this amazing place right now. It was perfect sleeping at night. The windows were open, no bugs, and it even felt a little chilly during the night. Extra blankets were provided in all the sleeping areas. Our kids enjoyed the one bedroom apartment up top. The house has 3 separate areas for sleeping and hanging out. We loved it all and wanted to take the dog home with us! We hope to stay again!

Our family truly enjoyed staying at Chiri Glamping. Our son had a great time climbing on the rock wall, swinging, sliding, and soaking in the hot tub. The bed and linens were the most comfortable of all our accommodations in 12 nights in CR - luxurious and plush. The bathroom was surrounded by nature and the shower products were soothing and relaxing, and everyone had their own robe. The essential oils were a nice touch, and the ac kept the room cool and inviting. We cooked dinner in the well stocked kitchen, and my husband got an amazing cocktail in the beautiful restaurant. The front desk staff was friendly, thorough, and escorted us to our room. The view overlooks Santa Elena and it was striking to watch the clouds come in and then go out within minutes. This is truly and special experience. We did hear music in the night from a nearby business and there was a bike race in the morning that woke us quite early, but in this convenient to town location, it is inevitable. Recommended!

Our family of four with two teenagers loved this place. The instructions and YouTube video were super helpful when we had to find this gem hidden back from the Main Street. The jacuzzi was great and they really used all of the space so well to create a little oasis that was close to the action but felt a world away. Highly recommend.

The house was clean, the water hot & the AC cold. The kitchen was well appointed with a larger refrigerator than pictured which was a nice surprise. The house is managed by a hotel just across the street & they were quite helpful & attentive. We found the outdoor spaces to be beautiful, well shaded from sun & wind with wildlife just outside the front door. A minute’s walk would take you to multiple restaurants and a mini grocery store. Uber was widely available & quick in the area so no need for a car. We would highly recommend a stay at the Ginger House.

This place is perfect. The cabin itself is cozy but spacious and so clean. The view of the plants from the bedroom and kitchen windows is so cool. The bed is sooo comfy and the sheets so soft. Terrace was perfect for morning coffee and breakfast in front of a variety of plants. We even saw some wildlife on the property. The free weights were a great touch and within walking distance there’s a public running track and outdoor gym. We would recommend this place to all our friends !

We stayed at Pie in the sky in February as a family with our 3 kids, it was about a 3 hour drive from the Liberia airport. We loved the observation tower, the beautiful views, plants and animals, the pool and the hot tub! It was very peaceful and gorgeous there. We did Sky Adventures zipline (just down the road), hiked at Arenal 1968, and went to the La Fortuna Waterfall. We ate at a lot of the nearby restaurants. We loved that Fusion was walkable to the house. Our favorite was Jungle Love Lounge. I would recommend getting groceries in the city you fly into, as it was hard to find a lot of items even in La Fortuna (especially if you have dietary restrictions). and there's hardly any fresh food items in the El Castillo grocery stores- only shelf stable. We did find out that El Castillo has a feria (farmers market) on Fridays and Saturdays right next to the school and we got a lot of great fruit and vegetables there. We'd definitely stay again!

We were a group of 10- 4 adults and 6 kids staying here for 4 nights. What a lovely home and incredible stay. Peaceful surroundings, easy to store/restaurants and town, incredible property with more than enough room. The outdoor living space was a wonderful place to unwind while the kids played in the pool or played games at the main table. Jordy helped check in as well as arrange for various activities like zip lining, hanging bridges. Joaquin takes incredible pride in the grounds work- as he should. It's impeccable. He took the kids on a tour of the grounds one morning and fed us fresh coconut, mango, and magical fruits that turned limes sweet- the kids were obsessed! We had Yadi cook dinner one night, amazing authentic typical food and there was more than enough for leftovers. Which they cleaned up and stored for us as well. Fully functional kitchen, plenty of space for the kids to bunk up or have their own rooms. Easy access to all excursions! Highly recommend! Pura Vida!

we loved our stay at Casa del Sol. it was a wonderful spot. Great views morning and night. Friendly horses who love carrots. gorgeous plants and birdsong all around the place. thank you Silvio and family.

Great stay!! We enjoyed the farm!! Rustic, no frill, but beautifully surrounded by nature and well equipped accommodations. Both Alex and Carlos were great. Good idea to bring in some things from town if your preference is cooking like ours. We like adventure, so driving into town and other spots was fun for us. Will visit again!

We absolutely loved our stay here!! It was our favourite Airbnb and the only mistake we made is not booking it longer. It was also the comfiest bed we slept in all week! Norwin went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special!! We loved it. There was so much to do it was an incredible space and we were sad to leave it! We appreciate all the recommendations from Norwin, he was an incredible host! The hot water was also a bonus ! We loved the pool perfect place to cool down and soooo many games ! I would not hesitate to come back just to stay here!! The only rec I would have is earplugs if you’re a light sleeper as the walls are a little thin, although usually a very quiet peaceful neighbourhood!

Great day with a very attentive host!

I absolutely had a great time here. The home is on a very quiet street, which is nearly impossible to find in Costa Rica. The location is great for walking to the two parks in town. Lots of places to eat near the house along with a grocery store that is very well stocked. The hosts are incredibly nice and thoughtful. I absolutely will be staying here again.

Just like the description of the photos, with everything you need to spend a few happy days in Monteverde, thank you very much!!

My partner and I travelled for the first time in Costa Rica, we lend at Liberia and Karen organized us the transport from the airport to her Airbnb. Our driver was friendly and of trust. We arrived late at night but Karen waited for us for the check-in. The place was clean and cozy. Hot water for the showers. Cuter in person than in pictures. Karen guided us through the possible activities around. She even booked an activity for us and the transport for our way to Monteverde. I do recommend it, it’s a jeep,boat,jeep, it’s worth it for the view and a faster trip instead of going around the lake. The view on the volcano was incredible. There is a restaurant, ice cream bar and a depanneur in front of the Airbnb. Karen took care of us, she went above and beyond to help us have the perfect time. Thank you for the experience!

The place is very nice, however, with the rainy weather it is not very favorable. Otherwise, everything was good.

AMAZING! One of our favorite places we have ever had the pleasure to stay at in Costa Rica and I have been coming to this beautiful country for a decade. The springs are fantastic and well maintained. the property is beautiful and has a great hiking trail loop. I got to see blue Jean strawberry dart frogs too! The treehouse is gorgeous, spacious and well equipped. The kitchen was great and the bed was comfortable. We loved it so much that we spent most of the day on the grounds after we checked out. the cherry on top was being greeted and having a chat with the wonderful owners. Kathy and Bernie and incredible people and I absolutely recommend this gem of a place!

**An Absolute Gem!** This Airbnb was everything we hoped for and more. The house was clean, comfortable, and beautifully authentic to the area, with thoughtful details that really made it feel special. What really stood out was the peaceful setting—surrounded by nature, it felt like the perfect escape, yet it was still just a short drive to town for anything we needed. Our host was fantastic—super responsive, friendly, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway in a stunning location with easy access to town, this place is a gem. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

We truly enjoyed our stay! Nice feel of Arenal nature life. The AC was our best friend because our kids aren't use to the humidity so it was nice to be able to have that on during times inside the house. The pool was the highlight of our Stay. Our kids were in the pool daily. Overall safe neighborhood. Convenient access to food, market and close to main attractions. We had a wonderful time here! A few suggestions id like to make are some type of shelf in the bathroom to place personal toiletries, along with kitchen amenities such as basic salt and pepper, spices and mainly COFFEE and TEA bags would be a nice gesture. When we go on vacations these are things that are important to us and is always provided in homes. It would have been nice to have it a part of the Airbnb rental for Costa Rica especially they are known for having the best coffee in the world :) Thanks again for amazing hospitality!

This is an excellent place to stay in La Fortuna. Host was very quick to respond & friendly. The house is on the same road of La Fortuna Waterfalls, only a 4-minute drive from the waterfall entrance. And only a couple minute drive (maybe 5 minutes max) to get to downtown La Fortuna for many restaurants. Home is exactly how the pictures show & very clean. The pool is pristine and large. There is also a natural pond on the property, along with a second fish pond. Sounds of running water and waterfalls when sitting outside. Very nice... honestly better than the pictures. We saw birds and butterflies. Very relaxing, a mini oasis! The host helped us at the last minute when plans at another hotel fell thru. I am so grateful. Air conditioning is strong and cold. Kitchen was clean & had everything we needed. Host even has a little welcome pack of goodies in the kitchen upon arrival. Perfect location. Location is near "down town", yet quiet and private. HIGHLY recommend for La Fortuna!! (:

We loved Jimmy's place! It is tucked away from the downtown but close to go to. The place was clean and had all the basics we needed. The furniture is minimal, but worked for what we needed. The outside of the place is gorgeous. We saw monkeys, birds, and animals while sitting outside. My kids loved the small pool and outside toys to play with. It was a comfy stay and would recommend!

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.

Everything was wonderful, we look forward to returning soon. Thank you very much

A beautiful place. As described. Very private and the pool is a 10, with its ideal temperature for the place. Everything super clean, well laid out and spacious. Super recommended. Important to know that they must register elsewhere, where access is obtained.
