Paradise on Lake Arenal

Such a beautiful spot! Clean, comfortable and with spectacular views. Tanyia and Rod, the hosts are fantastic people and really put our already wonderful stay over the top. If you are looking for a peaceful place around Lake Arenal, look no further.

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!

Very comfortable, great views, very clean. We have stayed in several locations in CR and this area is spectacular. This is the best VRBO and you will not be disappointed. Rod and Tanyia were very inviting and welcomed us like family. We did not want to leave and look forward to returning soon!

Fantastic experience

Beautiful home and property. We were cared for very well by Rod and Tanya. I’ve been to Costa Rica several times and I have never seen so many Toucans! The only drawback was the last couple miles of road leading to the property was pretty rough. Thanks for everything!

Nice property but too remote. Very hard to provision. It was a long and difficult drive to the activities we had planned for our stay. The VRBO website is outdated and contains misinformation.

Margaret and Paul were lovely guests. I will say that technology did not seem to be Margaret's friend, as she struggled to communicate through the application. Upon arrival, we discovered that she had not intended to book in our location but instead at a town 1.5 hours from the house. Our location is a peaceful retreat approximately 4 km from the cutest town in Guanacaste. Our guests choose our location due to its central location between 4 different tourist areas, which eliminates the 3-5 hour drives one way. You can go to La Fortuna, Rio Celeste, Monteverde and the Pacific coast on day trips, and that is what our typical guest does.

Excellent place to visit

The property is in a gated community a few miles outside of Tronadora. The house is a one bedroom stand alone house with a murphy bed in the main room which was great for the kids to use. The property was very clean and well managed. You do have access to a pool that is run by the community that have lovely views of Lake Arenal. It was about a 2 hour drive from Liberia to the property. We took a one day road trip to Monteverde rainforest which was fantastic. You are also about 2 hours from La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano. The climate is cooler than the beach area which can be a nice break for those that don't love hot sun all day. Our family really enjoyed our visit at the Birder's Paradise!

Lake View

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Tucan. The stunning view, the amazing mango tree and plenty of butterflies flying around the colorful and well maintained garden… what we want to highlight is the great standard of the house. We stayed in many places and it seems a common thing that good quality of material is not so easy to get. The house has very good cooking pans, fridge, eletronic device, and so on. We enjoyed being alone on the property, we could imagine that if the neighbor house is occupied the privacy is a little less. But non the less it is still a great gem in Costa Rica!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for your thoughtful review Selina. It was a pleasure to host you both. Casa Tucan is as you stated on a 1.5-acre property with another home - Casa Mariposa. Each home is self-contained with private patios, gardens, and driveways. The hedges are designed and manicured in a way that maintains each home's individual privacy. I wish we could have been there while you were there just to meet you and hear about your travels. We wish you blessings as you continue to explore Costa Rica and beyond!
