Perfect Location

Couldn’t be happier with this property and location in La Fortuna. Plenty of space and close to all the activities. Host was very responsive to questions. The kids enjoyed the pool and the lights outside at night made it easy to enjoy once the sun went down

Beautiful home!

Our family of 5 stayed in Casa Turquesa June 1-6. It was super clean, nice and very accommodating. The location was perfect-only about a 2-3 minutes drive from La Fortuna. We would definitely stay here again.

Convenient and Comfortable

Everything was great about our stay. The property is a short drive from La Fortuna, check-in was very easy, there is a close by property manager that is easy to reach, and the pool is wonderful (day and night!). This property really made our stay near the Arenal volcano very easy with our young children.

Very Nice House Great Stay

Five of us stayed here for a week in June. Me, wife, 2 kids, and my mother. This property fit all our needs. I think it was nicer than the pictures. Internet was fast. Location was good(only 5 minutes from town center). House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was furnished well. Favorite part was of course the pool, swim up bar, and waterfall. We will book again if ever in the area!

La Fortuna Stay

Loved the house and yard. Enjoyed the birds and other wildlife. Proximity to La Fortuna was handy for dinners and shopping and the host was very timely on responding to any questions we had. She helped us set up a couple activities which we loved and had a blast. Would stay again for sure. Pura Vida

Wonderful place to stay

We had a wonderful time at Casa Turquesa! It was in a great location. Was convenient to town to get to the grocery stores, sodas (small local restaurants and convenient to many of the area attractions like hiking, ziplining, waterfalls, hot springs, etc. House was well stocked and comfortable for our family of 6. The pool was an awesome bonus. We spent our evenings out there relaxing after a day of touring the area. Owner was very responsive to any questions/concerns we had. We like to visit different areas, but if we were to return, we would definitely rent at this location again.

A Perfect Place for a Friend Group Trip

We had a wonderful time at this VRBO! The space was very clean, comfortable, and cute. We loved the pool and swim up bar. There were pool towels and pool toys for guests, which was a nice added touch. We did run out of toilet paper and there was one less towel than we needed, but Carolina had someone come bring the supplies we needed on the same day, which was wonderful. Would absolutely stay here again and would recommend to any larger group (we were 7 friends), but do keep in mind, if you have more than 6 people, someone will have to sleep on a couch! Thank you again :)
