CLEAN & COMFORTABLE! A GREAT Stay!
This was a last minute short stay, but we will definitely be back. The well maintained home was SUPER Clean & Comfortable. The location was GREAT. We felt very safe and we had EXCELLENT Communication with the owner/manager. The layout was very convenient with the master bedroom and ensuite bathroom on the 1st floor and 2 guest bedrooms on the 2nd floor with a very nice shared bathroom. We LOVED the large kitchen table with 6 chairs and the comfy living room furniture. Bath towels were fluffy, soft, and absorbent. Fast internet. Large laundry room with sink & stack washer /dryer that worked well Thank you Pablo. We appreciate how much you care.

Home in the woods
The best home you can imagine in La Fortuna! Listen to the music of birds, the Rio Burio, and intermittent rains near Arenal. Enjoy so many amazing touches: excellent design, a wonderful coffee maker with some coffee on hand, a bench and a hammock protected from the rain, a community swimming pool, a sense of security, great bathrooms, everything works, and it's so comfortable with ceiling fans, great linens, and lots of windows. Pablo responds very quickly and can make recommendations in the local area. We felt so lucky to find this place and never wanted to leave!

The house is absolutely spic and span clean and has all the comfort needed to adapt yourself to the hot and humid environment. Television sets with all features! Pablo is very attentive before arrival! But you do need a high weel car to manage the entrance.

Pablo was very good at communication and answered all questions promptly. The check in process was seamless and the home was stocked with all necessary items. We were all delighted with the shampoos, lotions, soaps and laundry facilities. There is a sitting area downstairs and upstairs which allows for individual space and one bedroom is well equipped to sleep children. The air conditioning is very welcomed, worked very well and was quiet. You need to really like very firm beds (was hard for some to sleep) and not mind constant neighbourhood dogs barking(day and well into the evening). It is a great location and we booked tours through Jacamar and they picked us up at the home. That was a wonderful bonus and we had great tours.

Wonderful experience!
I feel I was very fortunate in choosing La Fortuna as our home base and this house was a perfect fit for what we wished to do. I had thought perhaps there was a little exaggeration in the description of possibility of seeing sloths, toucans, etc from the deck. I apologize! We did indeed spot them as well as iguanas as we had our coffee sitting there. I have absolutely NO complaints! It was still a wonderful experience for all of us. I hope to return someday and would feel fortunate to spend the time at Casa del Bosque.

We had everything we needed for a great 3 night stay, the property was more beautiful than the pictures suggested. Close enough to town for ease of meals and groceries but nice and quiet at night with a great deck to enjoy nature. Access to the condo pool was a great perk.

Excellent House and Location
What can I say about the Case Del Bosque. It is truly amazing in every aspect. It is a villa for your family with all nice amenities that you can think of. Location is close to the town and feels like a dream. We enjoyed our stay as a family and felt we needed to stay more nights here. It felt like our own house while we stayed, the views outside are great especially when you are having morning coffee from the huge balcony upstairs. Bedrooms/bathrooms are super clean. We felt safe due to gated community setting. When we checked in the evening while it was dark, the watchman helped us locate the house. We would definitely come back if we ever visit Costa Rica.

Gorgeous house in beautiful setting
The property owner contacted us well in advance with detailed information about how to locate the house and how to get into the house. It is super helpful to have this information early and with clear details--THANK YOU! (*Do* be sure to use the property owner's specific information about locating the house.) The house is a very nice, modern, beautiful house with plenty of beds, furniture, and kitchen materials. It is surrounded by gorgeous trees and plants. The porches are wonderful for relaxing. The house is in a gated neighborhood which makes it feel secure. While there are other houses nearby, we were not distracted by the neighbors or others in the neighborhood. Only 2 complaints: (1) When we arrived there was a bowl of dried oatmeal in the sink that had attracted a bunch of tiny crawling bugs and we had to get that fixed right away; fortunately, we found some bug spray in the cabinet to the right of the washer/dryer; (2) the driveway is very, very steep which makes it difficult to see as you pull in and pull out onto the road--there's not much the owner could do about this, though. We thoroughly enjoyed our time--the house is excellent and we would recommend this place to anyone staying near La Fortuna. We really appreciated the excellent communications with the hosts. THANK YOU!

La Fortuna Getaway
We loved our stay in La Fortuna. The town was friendly and had a unique Costa Rican flavor and intrigue. The home was everything that the photos indicated and more. The furnishings and the modern finishes were tasteful and well done. We loved watching the wildlife from the upstairs balcony and listening to the sweet serenading of the stream that is adjacent to the property. The grounds were well manicured, and the home is well maintained. The kitchen contained everything we needed for our memorable stay in La Fortuna. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home. Just outside town, so it’s really quiet. Friendly neighbors and security guard. Great location in proximity to the town and tourist attractions. We saw a sloth in the backyard along with frogs, birds, cows, geckos, and other fun critters. Modern appliances and decor, pool and common area are easily accessible. The river in back is visible from upstairs balcony. Communication was great with Pablo. Answered all questions and was always friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We would definitely stay here again.
