Stay at ceiba pond

This was an amazing stay at a lovely property. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The gardens were full of wildlife, including a caiman living in the pond! We saw coati, otters, and heard howler monkeys every morning. The pool was also much needed after a days hiking

Fun place for a family

We really enjoyed this space. We had a lot of fun exploring property and seeing all kinds of birds, lizards, frogs, plants, etc. The pool was very clean and perfect for us. The location was ideal for all the activities you can do in the Arenal/La Fortuna area. Host suggested some good sodas that we enjoyed.

Great property

The property is great, the pool, the creek, the island, the animals, the hammock. All great. The only draw back is the size of the kitchen, it’s a little small to cook a full meal for 9 people. But you have plenty of restaurants choice in town.

Awesome place and location just 10 min from main city!

Everything was great starting from check in and check out. Kids and us loved swimming in pool, watching fish in ponds, and hanging in hammocks. Beautiful and quite place far from neighbors. We had 2 families with 8 people total and really enjoyed our 4 days stay. Rates for additional activities ( Baldi hot springs, tubing) through the agency were great as well and they accommodated us well in last minute! Communication was very fast and pleasant.

Aptly named property

A nice home on a large and lovely property, with a pool, a pond and expect to see many different kind of beautiful birds. About 7 kms from La Fortuna, but there is a nice restaurant nearby and a grocery store in the village. Bedrooms have shelf storage but no closets or ways to hang clothing, which can be an issue for extended stays. Hot water in bathrooms only, but not in kitchen. Extra cleaning, towels, etc. readily available for extended stays.

Unique property!

Our family of four (2 adults, 2 kids ages 12 and 14) enjoyed our three nights at the jungle villa. We spent each morning relaxing on the porch after breakfast while looking for wildlife. We saw macaws, toucans, and iguanas all from the rocking chairs. We explored the property and were thrilled to find a river. We saw poison dart frogs near the river, a highlight for our boys. The pool was perfect to cool off. And the island swing was a fun spot too. We ate most dinners in town after our activities. We did a kayak river float, hiking the volcano, the hanging bridges, and the waterfall. Slept great with A/C. One of the showers didn’t have hot water and the other one was luke warm. Check in process was smooth. Also the owners were very accommodating when we had to adjust our travel schedule due to illness. They saved our vacation and we are beyond grateful. Overall this is a great spot if you want to get away from town and have a unique experience.

Perfect Family Stay

We loved the house and the property! The only glitch we had was the Google link we were sent said the property was on the right and we hunted and hunted to find it. The agent wasn't there to let us in, so it took some time for me to find the actual property and then wait to be let in the gate. Other than that the house was great. Beautiful scenery and outside area. There was a mention of a crocodile on the property in one of the ponds which made me a smidge nervous. I never laid eyes on it, but I didn't allow the kids to use the pool once it got dark as I wanted to keep a close eye out. Everything was very clean in the house and nicely put together. This suited our needs perfectly. We headed about 12-15 minutes out from the house for meals and excursion meeting points.

Family vacation

The house is nice, could use some updating. The shower in the Master is large, really large. Air conditioning works well. Kitchen was unusual, but well equipped. If you're planning on doing laundry, keep in mind that you're going to have to hang your clothes on a line under the garage, and it's extremely humid there. Two beds were very comfortable. One was not comfortable at all. One was okay. The pictures are deceiving-the swimming pool is actually larger than it appears on the posting. It's a nice setup with the gazebo and pool. The property is quite large and is gorgeous. There is a startfruit tree near the big hammock, and several other fruit trees, such as bananas and bread fruit. Not only are there multiple ponds, a small river borders the rear of the property. Nearby, within walking distance, there are two sodas and at least one little store. The house is approx 10 minutes away from La Fortuna proper. It's a pretty drive, with several tour companies, restaurants and cows to look at along the way. The property managers were quite helpful when we had trouble with some locals and had to involve the authorities. Be sure to remember that just because it looks like paradise, you still have to watch your back.

A little slice of paradise in the jungle

The pictures do not do this place justice. If you like hearing howler monkeys at dawn and seeing birds and lizards and frogs in your backyard then this is the place for you. Our kids love to swim and explore and this place couldn't have been better for that. There was more than enough room for our family of 6, the host was very friendly and excellent with communication and it was easy to find. It was 10 minutes into the heart of La Fortuna and very easy to get to everywhere we wanted to go. Highly recommend, we would definitely stay again!

Peaceful location with access to nature

The house was clean and charming. Our host Mario was flexible with the check in time. The pond and pool were amazing and well kept. There was a path by the river for hiking. The only issues we had was that 2 of the 4 beds had very worn out mattresses; you could feel the springs and there was no support. The stove was a bit broken and the gate fell off its track once, which I resolved in a few minutes of fiddling around with it, but would have been an issue for someone less handy

Jungle Paradise: A Costa Rican Villa Experience Like No Other

We recently stayed at the most incredible jungle villa in Costa Rica, and it was truly a dream come true! From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the magic of the rainforest. Every morning, we woke to the sounds of howler monkeys and the sight of them swinging through the trees just outside the villa. Afternoons brought sightings of caimans near the water, colorful birds flitting through the canopy, and frogs of every size and color coming to life as the evening set in. It was like living in a nature documentary!The villa itself was stunning—spacious, comfortable, and designed to blend perfectly with its surroundings. The open layout allowed us to feel connected to the jungle while enjoying all the modern luxuries. We loved relaxing on the patio with a cup of Costa Rican coffee, soaking in the lush views, and spending evenings under the stars listening to the symphony of the jungle.This villa was not just a place to stay; it was an experience that exceeded all our expectations. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, an adventurer, or just looking for a tranquil retreat, this jungle villa is absolutely perfect. We can’t wait to come back!
