Cottage vacation rentals in San Carlos

Andrea was an exceptional host, very helpful and responsive. The place was more beautiful than the photos and the attention to detail inside was very nice. I highly recommend a stay here for a very peaceful, restful, and for the amazing views and experience.

An excellent place to go to share with friends! :) very nice and comfortable

Very nice house. Peaceful setting. Beautiful view of the mountains.

Truly splendid stay! Inflatable jacuzzi was amazing! And you can’t beat fresh clean water, chlorine free! We absolutely loved the place. We would definitely come again. Amazing price, definitely worth what we paid. It works great for a family with up to 4 children. Our king size bed was comfortable completely a dream. Nice kitchen well stocked. Huge glass front gives the house a sunny open feel. Even had a washer and dryer to get laundry done. Even provided laundry soap and extra toilet paper when needed. There’s even a simple grill and charcoal we used to grill supper.

We stayed at Juan's recently and were very happy! The unit itself is gorgeous with everything meeting our needs, and the host was very responsive, helpful and made the check-in and check-out process very straightforward with clear instructions. I would definitely recommend this unit and would stay here again!

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.

This was an amazing AirBnB there is far more to do and enjoy on the farm than you expect. The farm is enormous and there is a short hike down a little hill through the jungle that leads down to a big open area for cattle where you can cross a stream and enjoy the beautiful nature. Also there is this great, cheap restaurant called Victorino's which is relatively close.

Marvin was an amazing host. Very responsive and gave us a great recommendation for stuff to do with the kids. House gave all of us a lot of space for our large group and the kids loved the pool. Even saw a sloth and monkey on property. Would definitely use again if we come back to the area.

very peaceful place with a great pool

The place is very clean, in good condition, accessible and it is exactly as shown in the photos. The Host is very kind and attentive and provides great service

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

The place is beautiful, the house has everything you need to stay. We arrived and everything was clean, the pool is covered so you don't feel the sun so directly. It is a very quiet neighborhood, it has a bar restaurant and a supermarket nearby. We would definitely go back

The place is absolutely amazing. All activities are very close, the accommodation is super well maintained and beautiful and the host is involved. I would 100% recommend it for the very affordable price.

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.

Beautiful house, I would have liked to spend more time in it. The garden is beautiful and has a beautiful view of the volcano.

We had a very nice stay at Eric’s place. Everything felt very clean and on the newer side, and it was all accurate to the pictures. It was easy enough to find if you follow the directions, and while the house was private, we felt close enough to downtown when we needed something. The yard is lovely and my kids were in the hammock and yard every day. We were only cooking breakfasts, but the kitchen had everything we needed. We would stay there again.

Everything was perfect! The location is excellent, entering the house was simple, the directions were super clear and the house's privacy is one of its main qualities. It's very important to note that any type of vehicle can enter. It took us about 9 minutes from the house to the nearest supermarket. The service and communication with Home Vacations was perfect! Super attentive to your needs. Ideal 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!

This was a perfect place for us. We really enjoyed it. We will stay again!

Esmeralda's home was amazing for my family to stay in. We were greeted with views of Arenal Volcano 24/7. The location is about 15 min from La Fortuna (4 wheel drive is a must on Costa Rica roads), away from the hustle and bustle and city sounds, and her house is plotted on top of a hill with the best views, which we loved very much. Not only were the views and peacefulness amazing, Esmeralda is the best host I have every had! She is such a sweet lady who lives on the property, so whenever we needed something or had questions, she walked on over to answer questions and help us. She even made us breakfast one morning. Her grandson Daniel, helps out as well and has his own guiding company called Las Pastivas. We took one of his tours and he is amazing and very knowledgable on everything Costa Rican! Check him out as well for tours. If you are looking for a Tican local house experience, this is the house. We will stay here again when we come back to La Fortuna area.

A very nice place to relax. Very good hosts. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

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