Cottage vacation rentals in San Carlos

This beautiful modern home is situated in a secluded location about 30 minutes from Monteverde Reserve. The host was very flexible with check in and very responsive with questions. The kitchen is equipped with all types of cooking utensils and the host provided breakfast items like eggs, milk, cereal, and coffee, as well as some snacks, fruit, and a bottle of champagne. The place was very luxurious compared to most cabins and lodges located in town where the rooms are basic and A/C is not available. It was nice to return to a comfortable, clean place to take a shower/bath and wind down after a day full of outdoor activities.

Quiet, between 30 and 50 min from activities (Arenal, warm waters, lazy tours, nights, etc.). The outdoor space made us happy day or evening, well sheltered from the rain. Jorge, the neighbor who took care of us (main communication, day-to-day questions, where/when/how to buy fruit) was great. It only communicates in Spanish, it is very generous. The house is large and the beds are comfortable. Air conditioning was working in bedrooms. The kitchen outside was really appreciated. Although we could not use it half of the time we were there, the pool was good, the sauna was not working during our stay. A rooster and several chickens came to our grounds for the kids to enjoy.

Honestly the best AIRBNB I've ever stayed at. It was incredible. The morning view over the pool to the comfortable amenities in the house... everything was perfect. The pictures don't do this home justice. Although it's a little secluded from the big city, I personally enjoyed the privacy of it. It's about 45 mins from this place to La Fortuna. Carlos was very responsive and helpful through the whole process. I'll definitely have this spot pinned for the future.

Wonderful place with the outstanding views ! Clean, well organized, quiet, fully equipped house. Located on the top of the hill , which opens fantastic panorama of the mountains and the outskirts of the town! We enjoyed every morning birds chirping and even saw toucans ! The neighbors very welcoming and sweet, Patricio extremely responsive and friendly! Great get away place (you might want to stay longer than a weekend) plan accordingly 🤗 I want to thank Patricio and his team for the job the guys do ! They do it right , which means they are at the right place ! Making memories is an amazing occupation😊

We had a great stay, and really enjoyed using the hot tub after long adventure days. The home had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable.

everything about this place is perfect, amanda is super kind and very helpful! if you ever visit i highly recommend her moms delicious breakfast.

La Finca Lodge is a true gem, exceeding expectations with an unparalleled experience. From arrival, we felt like cherished family. Magical ATV tours through sugarcane fields to rejuvenating mineral springs, and serene horseback rides exploring the stunning landscape, were incredible. Culinary delights were 'gastro-tacular,' farm-to-table feasts showcasing local abundance. The lodge's authentic focus shone in every detail. Even early mornings were special, witnessing farm life, feeding animals, and tending greenhouses. Leaving was hard, a testament to the profound connection and exceptional hospitality. This isn't just a stay; it's an immersive experience, an invitation to the region’s heart. We left eager to return, immersed in its magic. Without doubt, one of our finest stays, wholeheartedly recommended for an unforgettable retreat. Thank you to Esteban, the family and staff who made us feel at home. We look forward to visiting again, soon. :)

It matches the description, the house has all the conveniences to enjoy as a family. We traveled with a baby and pets and did not have any problems.

very peaceful place with a great pool

We loved our stay at this Airbnb. The space is spacious, quiet and safe, ideal to rest and enjoy nature. Everything was very nice and tidy which made our experience even more enjoyable. A minor detail was that the TV didn't work, but with so much for enjoying the outdoors, it really wasn't necessary. Also, the kindness of Doña Gloria made us feel welcome at all times. Definitely a place to stay again!

Very nice place the truth, my family and I really loved everything, the pool was enjoyed and we liked that it had an area for children as we always travel with children, the hosts were very friendly and overall everything was excellent

Pros: Very spacious, excellent shower and king bed in the master room. A/C in the 2 bedrooms. Very close to La Fortuna Waterfall. Pava, coffee maker and everything you need for cooking. Very nice roofed terrace. Washing machine and dryer available (remember to bring your own soap). TO consider: There was no hot water in the kitchen bacha. Neighbor's rooster may wake you up if you have light sleep:P We live an unlucky situation - she came through a hitch in the door being locked a snake (chasing a grasshopper). We know that it is not the fault of the accommodation itself, that although it can be expected because it is in the jungle environment, it does not take away that we have hit a good scare. We highlight the quick action of the host, who came with someone to remove it from inside the house. For the time of this review the host probably already added a barrier for the door as we mentioned I was going to do. We would also stay again without hesitation!! :)

Huberth and Anyara were wonderful hosts! They helped me with so many things and made things so much easier for me. They really cared about me.

I had an exceptional experience staying with Alonzo and his family. Their hospitality was outstanding—they were attentive and responsive to all my needs. When I requested a yoga mat, they promptly provided it, along with everything else I asked for. The accommodation is nestled in a serene and peaceful location, perfect for those seeking privacy and tranquility. However, I recommend having a car if you plan to explore the area. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I highly recommend it.

Splendid Home and Grounds. Beautifully designed spaces everywhere perfectly organized and maintained. All details are luxuriously anticipated with nothing left to chance for a wonderful stay. Even has an ylang ylang tree in the front yard! House is an architectural gem.

Good option to connect with the mountains and get in touch with all the Region of San Carlos. Nice place to stay

Great place and great host, quiet neighborhood in central location, ideal for a family.

Everything was perfect! The location is excellent, entrance to the house was simple, the directions were super clear and the privacy of the house is one of its main qualities. Super important to comment that any type of vehicle can be entered. We lasted approximately 9 minutes from the house to the nearest supermarket. Attention and communication with Home Vacations was perfect! Super attentive to your needs. Great for families with children or babies because the house is fully equipped.

Wonderful home….. beautiful grounds. If you are booking transportation I would only accept Adrian as your driver, he is awesome.

There is so much to say about Emanuel’s place! First of all it was in a gorgeous area. Please know 4x4 is highly recommended! The house had everything we needed. Emanuel’s mom was there to greet us and to show us the property and show some amazing hospitality! If you want the real experience stay here! We are already in the process of planning our next stay with Emanuel!

Xenia place was beautiful and so cozy, surrounded with beautiful nature, the pool was excellent, 100% recommended. Gracias Xenia

It's the second time we've stayed, everything's super clean and a beautiful location. Great to go with family or friends
