House vacation rentals in San Carlos

We had an amazing time at this property! The house was incredible. The views were absolutely breathtaking and made every morning feel special. One of the most memorable moments was when a toucan came to visit us right on the property. We were lucky enough to snap some photos. Hopefully I can upload them here somehow. Everything about the stay exceeded our expectations. Ana was very responsive and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. if you are looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommended and would love to come back.

If it is available for your dates, book it right now. We spent four nights here with our family of five and I would stay at least one more night next time. The location is perfect in every way- safe, private, walkable, views, easy access to everything. Beds were comfy and plunge pool was a plus. Marvin has thought of every detail... there was even a pitcher of cold water already in the fridge for us when we arrived. Communicating with Marvin was also like having a local friend giving us ideas for our tours. Everything he suggested was great and he made the booking process easy. It was much nicer than the hard sells on the sidewalk of beautiful La Fortuna.

We loved our stay at Apple House! The location was perfect, about 10 minutes drive from town. Having the private pool and hot tub outdoor area was lovely after daily excursions. We always felt very safe and all of the amenities were great. Highly recommend!

Wow! What an amazingly beautiful home for a group to share! Loved the spacious place and clean accommodations, large outdoor seating area and the pool is perfect! Just from the house we saw a sloth, toucans, & lizards. We felt very safe with having a locked gate. The privacy was nice. I hope to be back soon!

Such a great stay! Warren and Andy took good care of us with excellent local recommendations and reservations. The pool is awesome. soths and lots of birds on the property.

Amazing place, we really enjoyed our stay, just as it appears in the photos. The only negative is the road that leads to the place is gravel and it is a bit deteriorated and because of the rainy season it is a bit complicated

It really is an amazing place, a comfortable, nice and very well-equipped house. It may be one of the best beds, pillows, and sheets you've ever found on an Airbnb. If you go with dogs, it's an ideal place because it has a large garden for them to have fun safely. Norman was super attentive, and responded to all my messages in a timely manner. If you're going to this area, don't hesitate to stay here. This place made my top 5 best Airbnbs in Costa Rica.

This spot was a little bit difficult to find, but don’t let that discourage you. The home was beautiful. The rooms are located outside. It is very close to downtown area. Definitely recommend this.

This cute little place was perfect for the two of us. Having the AC in the bedroom was so nice and made for a good nights sleep. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio and watching and listening to all of the birds and watching the cows who are right next door. Fortuna Waterfalls is close by and it’s a quick trip into town. We would stay here again.

The house has a ton of open space and room. The pool and house are beautiful, and the hosts were extremely responsive to any issues and helped arrange tours. Some of the positives- Lots of space- TONS- both inside and outside. Places to hang out, places to eat, etc. There is both an inside and outside kitchen and refrigerator. The location is close to La Fortuna, restaurants, and shopping. It is only 20 minutes to Tabacon and most all the tours. The large room for kids had tons of beds. The house also has a few quirks that are worth knowing. First, like almost all houses in the La Fortuna area, it is on a septic tank, so you can't flush toilet paper. They are upfront about it, but some Americans aren't used to that. The stairs leading to the upper beds in the kids room are very small and difficult to navigate, and we were concerned that our youngest would potentially fall from them. The bathrooms/showers in the kids room are just one room, and the water can back up into the room.

Excellent place, very private

The house was spectacular, super clean and everything well organized, the host was super attentive and very communicative all the time, definitely super recommended

Fabian was really fast at responding, and would check up on us if we needed anything. Super helpful and was willing to help with everything. Everything is like in the pictures but even better

The house is very large and beautiful, the pool is very nice, everything is very clean and tidy and excellent service from Janeth, very attentive, quick response and very kind, we thank you from the heart for your nice service and help.

If you are looking to get away and find peace, this is your place. It is a stunning home with a view for days. The drive is challenging, but so worth the effort. Be sure to pick up everything you need before you head up because it's a trek to town. El Tigre Waterfalls is a must and you can't go wrong with any of the ziplines. Put this on your list!

We loved the place . The place was spotlessly clean, well equipped and tastefully decorated. The location was ideal: close to restaurants, supermarkets and tourist sites, but quiet enough to rest and celebrate my mom's birthday Esteban was very kind and attentive from the first moment, always available to answer our questions We would definitely stay here again. It was an excellent experience that exceeded our expectations. Thank you for everything!

Graceland is a beautiful property with a great view of Volcano Arenal. I have been to several rentals in the past and this one is the most comparable to pictures. It’s very private and secure with an alarm system We loved the private washer/drier and used every night for our towels/towels. I recommend renting a car unless you plan to have a driver or taxis We loved the property and would definitely recommend for a family.

Amazing property. Felt more like staying at a high end resort. Extremely clean with great outdoor space and pool. Well stocked and safe with a gated entrance. Highly recommend.

Beautiful home was very clean and had excellent air conditioning. Fantastic location only 1-2km from parts of La Fortuna where we kept going for new restaurants or shopping. The location is ideal because you are just out of range of the noise and lights, close enough so everything is accessible, and the beautiful view of Arenal from the 2nd story balcony just can't be beat. Responsive hosts including a local expert were all quick to respond to any question, and a great source of suggestions. My family would love to stay here again the next time we visit.

Quaint and immaculate quarters. Very nice people really enjoyed the fruit they left for us. The landscaping is amazing you feel like you stepped into another dimension with all the colors , flowers and spring water pool. Very nice walking around the secure property. We saw amazing birds, disappointed the sloth, took a hiatus right before we arrived.. Their dog Chester is adorable. Bring him a toy!

Hosts were very responsive and helpful! Views were breathtaking and the home was very comfortable for our family of 5

This place rocked! This is my second time in Costa Rica and I can say not everyone goes above and beyond like this. The house is a great space and not to mention Jose was so accommodating. He even helped meet our needs by covering up the flashing lights at the pool- i had not even asked him to do that. Thanks for your help Jose! I would 12/10 recommend this place to a friend.

Had a great stay at The Star House. Beautiful sunsets and rainbows. My kids loved watching the leaf cutter ants out in the yard. Also loved watching the hummingbirds and even a toucan from the swinging bucket seats with a cool gentle breeze. Very peaceful and relaxing. Comfortable beds and plenty of hot water from the solar powered water heater. Kitchen well-equipped, including coffee. Would definitely stay here again!

Aqua Vida is simply amazing. Words cannot describe how you’ll feel when you see everything you get with this property. It’s off the main road in La Fortuna but it’s very safe and peaceful. You get all the privacy you want while being 5 minutes away from everything in town. A huge natural spring pool, a covered area where you can cook, have your meals or just hangout, a huge yard to play in, a stream going through the property with beautiful trees and absolutely stunning landscaping. All this and you’re still not even in the house. Book this place. You’ll be happy you did.
