Great Spot to Stay While You Explore

Magnolia House was a great location to have as a home base while exploring Costa Rica and the Arenal region. Great hosts that are responsive and happy to provide additional insight into the area.

Perfect retreat for couples!

Super cute, cozy, and great location! This place is even better in person. We were a group of three couples traveling together. All had our own bedroom and bathroom, each with a shower. Beds were comfortable and AC worked great in the rooms. We loved the pool, the outdoor seating with big patio table

Beautiful home in LaFortuna

We really enjoyed our stay at the Magnalia house. The home was very clean, comfortable, and full of light and the kitchen was well appointed for all of our cooking needs. Nela was very responsive and easy to work with and the location felt safe and was just a short drive from downtown La Fortuna. Our only complaint was that there were absolutely no drawers in any of the bedrooms - just a handful of hangers for clothes. If you're someone like me who hates to live out of suitcase, this is a bit annoying. There were some barking dogs at night in the neighborhood too which kept one of us awake, but most of us slept through it just fine.All in all a great place.

Private Oasis

The property was as pictured and expected. Everything was very clean upon checkin. Nela also did a good job communicating and supporting a fantastic stay. The beds were comfortable and the tile work in the bathrooms was beautiful. The room air conditioners did the job of keeping us comfortable while sleeping. Fortuna was a very short drive from the house. We had a bit of a challenge finding the house but Nela quickly sent a picture which cleared it up quickly. We had a great view of Arenal volcano from the pool area. Nela also offered some suggestions of activities. We enjoyed spending a day at the hot springs at Baldi Resort at her recommendation.

Live like a local

My family and I had a great stay at Magnalia House. The house and detached pool cabana were spotless, comfortable and well appointed. Highlight is definitely the soaking pool in backyard. The area around the pool was comfortable, and beautifully landscaped, giving a feeling of complete privacy even though you are in a neighborhood. Also, the awnings allow for plenty of sun but also allow you to enjoy outside even when it’s pouring rain. And the view of Arenal from the pool is stunning. A couple of practical realities, you are staying in an actual neighborhood in CR. There’s some realities you deal with: occasional road noise, the neighbor’s dogs barking late at night. Also, the process of getting in and out of the property is a bit involved and trying to negotiate after dark makes it more challenging. But the owners were responsive and went out of their way to fix any issues that came up. Also, you get to live like a local in a safe neighborhood and still be close to town. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous, relaxing abode close to town

The home is charming and aesthetic, with 3 large bedrooms (one is an en-suite casita), lovely design and a wonderful pool with views of Arenal. We loved our time there and our kids loved having their own pool. The kitchen has everything you need and has a nice indoor/outdoor breakfast bar. The location is great as it's close to town and we loved the restaurant recommendations from the owner!A few things for tenants to be aware of: locking the driveway gate each and every time coming and going (seems to be the trend on the street however), water on the pool deck never went away after first day so was pretty wet out there, and you're in the rainforest so it's buggy (they get in through shower drains). House is very clean and nice and these are things the owners cannot control but wanted to point it out for setting expectations.

Great stay near La Fortuna

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place felt safe, private, and was a short drive from La Fortuna and the Arenal area. The pool area was a really nice retreat to relax between activities and was so peaceful for listening to the rain.

Clean and comfortable home

We loved staying in Nela’s home in La Fortuna. The house was very clean, the location of the home was very convenient to everything in La Fortuna. Communication was easy with Nela, and she had great restaurant recommendations. The beds were comfy and we loved spending time outside in the courtyard and taking dips in the little pool to cool down in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Family Vacation

Magnalia House was perfect for our 2 night stay in La Fortuna. Great location to downtown. Clean, comfortable and beautiful. The cabina located just off the main house is perfect for an additional family member or older kids. Each bedroom with their own bathroom and A/C. Very private, located in a developing neighborhood. Neal, the host was very responsive and offered great guidance to restaurants, markets, bakeries and activities. Would recommend and stay again.
