Smoking-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Arenal

We really liked the place. It was just as described, clean and its location was perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

what a place. location is perfect for walking anywhere in La Fortuna while still remaining quiet and peaceful. John had spot-on recommendations as well for tours and activities!!

Maria was helping to communicate and trying to reach out every time before we arrived . We feel that we are taken care by her so ! Thanks Maria

It was a warm and cozy place which we enjoyed living in.

I loved the place, very quiet and a lot of privacy at the same time, having the jacuzzy is excellent for relaxing and very good attention from the hosts, everything was perfect including the price...

Great place with a really convenient location. Very easy to walk to the town center. Comfortable beds, great water pressure and temperature. We didn’t end up using the pool but it was a nice option to have. The place had everything we needed for a short stay in La fortuna and the host was very friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay in one of the deluxe bungalows. The outside porch area with jacuzzi was perfect and where we hung out most of the time when not exploring. Lots of birds visiting. The jacuzzi was especially great when it was pouring rain in the evenings, just had to make sure to turn it on before we left for the day so that it was nice and warm when we got back. The only thing to note is that you’re not likely to get a hot shower, water was lukewarm, but it was not a problem for us. We would come back to stay here if ever in the area again.

We loved the apartment and the pool. The view of the volcano is breathtaking and the location is perfect for walking access to the center of the city.

Great stay, the house extremely spacious and the beds are pretty comfortable…Maria was very nice and met us at the house which made the check-in process super smooth and easy, and the location was great…for the price we paid it’s a great value, would definitely recommend this place in La Fortuna

Karla and her place was a gem and an amazing find outside of La Fortuna. We did not want to stay right in the main town and definitely not at the resorts. This was the perfect blend of local vibes, nature, and amenities. The backyard is beautifully landscaped and very relaxing to come home to after full adventure days. The photos do not capture how gorgeous the scenery is. If Karla's place is available then you should definitely book it - pura vida!

The location is very good. The house is spotless the super clean pool and jacuzzi and the hot water in the jacuzzi great. It has all the comforts that are needed to spend days with the family.

Eva's place was incredibly peaceful and private with a beautiful, well tended garden out back. With the windows open, you don't feel the need for AC at all (it was very cool during our stay in early March.) The windows do not have any screens, which created a few humorous encounters with critters, but we had a great time. It is also a tricky/steep drive along rocky mountain roads to most places, but this seemed to be the case for everywhere here (except maybe in Santa Elena itself.) We had a great time and Eva was a great host.

We absolutely loved our stay here!! It was our favourite Airbnb and the only mistake we made is not booking it longer. It was also the comfiest bed we slept in all week! Norwin went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special!! We loved it. There was so much to do it was an incredible space and we were sad to leave it! We appreciate all the recommendations from Norwin, he was an incredible host! The hot water was also a bonus ! We loved the pool perfect place to cool down and soooo many games ! I would not hesitate to come back just to stay here!! The only rec I would have is earplugs if you’re a light sleeper as the walls are a little thin, although usually a very quiet peaceful neighbourhood!

Very nice place, well equipped

A really friendly and easy place to stay. You're left in peace, but very welcome, you feel like part of the furniture. My brothers were staying locally with their families and this place was perfect location for me to relax once we had all finished hanging out for the day. Activities are often from La fortuna so it's adds a few more minutes drive, but nice to be out of the hub. Bed was comfy. Kitchen good and very clean. Lots of towels. Use of washer/drier was useful to get things washed quickly. Host always there to advise via text and popped round a few times to say hi. I added another day no problem. The tour goes on through out the day, it's really interesting and fun. Lots of samples and facts to remember. The first tour is at 8am and you can hear chatting for a few minutes as the vanilla orchids are near the house and they stop to explain about them. I was always awake so not a problem. It's always an early start in this area with so much to do! Recommended !!

We stayed here for two nights and loved it. The view was amazing. Everything we needed was there. Magarle’s super sweet cat spent a lot of time with us. We loved the hot tub at night after traveling or being on the go all day. Magarle was very kind and super helpful with suggestions. We had a couple issues with the hot water and she fixed it immediately. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cristian and Estella are very kind, welcoming, discreet and attentive hosts. We were unable to wash our laundry in the previous rental. They washed all our laundry. The studio is very good, as described and very clean. The pool is great too. Thank you so much Cristian and Estella. We will keep a great memory of our meeting.

Of the best places to stay, cleanliness, attention, location, wonderful and super recommended.

Awesome place with beautiful views. Restaurant downstairs has excellent food and drinks.

Great stay, very responsive, clean unit, would recommend.
