Casa Isabelita-4/2Home, AC, WiFi,Lake View, Brkfast on 1st day

Nestled between Liberia airport, Tilaran & La Fortuna, this 4/2 home sits is a very central location. Close to activities from Arenal volcano and Zip lining to Cloud forests to Monte Verde to Rio Celeste and Tenorio volcano. Tons of activities or just walking trails or sitting peacefully on the balcony.

Excellent value when compared to similar homes in the area. Take advantage of the 10% discount by staying 1 week.

Casa Isabelita is a brand new, secluded, cozy and contemporary home that sits in a private guarded community within walking distance of Lake Arenal. This cozy home sits in a quiet community, in the middle of a forest. Excellent place for "earthing" an "forest bathing". The surroundings will help you detoxify from your day to day. Many of our guests mention a peaceful and restful night's sleep. We have experienced the same and appreciate it very much. We want to share that with you. Go out to adventures and come home to a serene space, away from crowds.

Equipped with a security system, Free fiberoptic Internet with WiFi in the entire home, cableTV, AC, fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, 2 Kayaks, 4 bedrooms, 5 beds & workstation.

The area has restaurants, a bank, gas station and convenience stores. Arenal volcano, hot springs, Rio Celeste & Zip lining activities, all within 45 to 90 min drive. Playas (beaches) Del Coco and Hermosa are 1.5 hours away by the Liberia airport. 2 hr drive to Monteverde. Most importantly, you get to see the beautiful rainforest greenary while driving to your activities. The entire Arenal area is such paradise.

The moment you enter the home the energy is peaceful and serene. We are located inside a private community with security guard. The community is off the main road 142. The house is 40 minutes from the tourist sections of La Fortuna and it has more of a local quiet homey cozy feel. As you get into the main entrance you will encounter some sections paved and some on gravel or unpaved. It is part of the beauty of the area. Plan for a 10 min drive to the nearest restaurant, El Corral Steak house in Aguacate (where the house is). Rio Piedras, to the west, and Nuevo Arenal, to the east, have several local Tico restaurants as well. As mentioned, most activities are in La Fortuna, 40 minutes from the house. Wild life is experienced and appreciated around the house property and surroundings. Howler monkeys and beautiful birds are heard and seen in our backyard. The main floor opens to a spacious kitchen with granite countertops, beautiful cabinetry, modern appliances, kitchen cookware and all you need to prepare family meals. The tap water is safe but we added a water filter as well. There is also a dining table and counter space, for large groups, living room space with comfortable couches and a bathroom on this floor. Clean towels and toiletry is provided. The showers have hot water on demand. There are ceiling fans and AC throughout the home. The upstairs floor has 2 large bedrooms and a small bedroom. The master bedroom opens to a balcony that allows you to enjoy your morning coffee/tea (provided) while contemplating the lake views and hearing and seeing many different types of birds, like the toucans for example. There is a second bathroom on this floor as well. The bottom floor has a 4th bedroom, ceiling to floor glass panels/walls. The guests have expressed their total satisfaction to open their eyes in the morning and feel they are in the middle of the forest with the greenery that can be appreciated in this room. There is an AC unit on this floor as well. The house accommodates large families of up to 8-10 guests. Baby playpen and air mattresses are also available. Located in a quiet family oriented private guarded community. Totally connected to nature, this home sits in the middle of a "bosque". Casa Isabelita is a well maintained and clean home for you to completely enjoy your visit. There are several beautiful beaches in Guanacaste on the Pacific coast. We love Playa Tamarindo, Playa Conchal, Playa del Coco and Playa hermosa, which are about 1.5 to 2 hours west from the house. Casa Isabelita is 1.5 hours from (LIR) Liberia airport and 3 hours from SJO (San Jose/Alajuela) airport.
The community infinity pool is available to the guests until 7pm. It can be accessed by walking to the backyard of the house and following the walking trail 30 meters from the house. It can also be accessed by car by going thru the guard house. We ask the guests reserve the pool to preserve one family uses it at a time. The marina is about 500 meters within walking distance from the house. 2 large Kayaks are available to our guests for no cost. We also provide a gas BBQ, for your grilling needs. The community has 24 hour Security.

The home has a security system. Both owner and property manager are readily accessible. You can check out our page on F.B. "Casa Isabelita Costa Rica". You can share your pictures and also see restaurants and places we have visited under the "About/Following" section. We welcome your pictures.

Quiet, beautiful location with lots of activities.
Absolutely loved staying here. A lot of house for 2 people but I loved the access we had to different activities. The house was very quiet and Jennie was an amazing host. Javier also helped out a lot! We spent every morning drinking coffee on the patio. The pool is absolutely beautiful at sunset and we loved having access to kayaks. There is good food options all over, but driving is required. Don’t pass up the local fruit and veggie stand in Guadalajara Recommend doing the hanging bridges, which is about 45 minutes away. The pictures on the VRBO post do not do this place justice! Would suggest this place for a multi family trip! Enjoy Costa Rica!

Short stay
The newly enclosed upstairs balcony was nice for watching the sunsets and storms rolling in! We were only there for a couple of days, but did enjoy a sunny afternoon at the pool in Turtle Cove Yacht Club! Had the whole place to ourselves!

Perfect location
The property is in the perfect location. It overlooks the lake, and it’s the perfect property if you’re looking for peace and quiet. However, la Fortuna isn’t that far from the house if you’re seeking fun and adventure.

This property was well suited for our party of 5 - 2 adult couples and a single adult. The 3 level home offered fine communal space as well as individual private space. Great views of the lake, and lots of birds passing thru, The grounds were well kept..

Nice accommodations and plenty of space. Good kitchen and plenty of items available for cooking and preparing meals. Was hard to find property at night; however, security guard welcomed us once we made to property and oriented us to the house. Good internet and property location as it is centrally located with a drive to Arenal and La Fortuna.

A nice Arenal location with the lake view
We've spent 3 nights at this location, and it was a good experience. The house itself was clean, and had a lot of things that were Costa Rica specific. The chorreador was a great surprise, and we've brewed a lot of coffee using it. It's close to the lake, and it's a pity that the weather didn't allow us to use it. We've visited Arenal volcano and hot springs using this house as the base, and was not a hard drive (around 40 minutes though) to get there. And being able to see the sunset on the balcony in rocking chairs was something special :) Thanks you for having us there.

Relaxing stay
My family had a nice time in the house. The beds were comfortable and the location was very pretty and easy to reach. The kitchen had everything you need. The owner is very responsive. Also, the water pressure and hot water was really great - high marks for that. We were there during rainy season and due to the high volume of rain, we weren't able to use the pool - but that happened wherever we went. This is a utilitarian home, not one you hang out in. The furnishings are comfortable but not luxurious. The location is about an hour from everything. It is an inexpensive option for staying in a lovely area and close enough to all the activities in the area. At one point I asked how to use the kayaks and within minutes the kayaks were placed in the water and the lifejackets and paddles were prepared for our use by Javier. Very efficient and we felt badly that we ended up not even using them because our other activities lasted longer than expected. The recommendations by the owner for restaurants were spot on. We loved all that we tried.

Mom's 80th birthday trip
It worked perfectly!! It was difficult to tell the room/bed layout online, but it was perfect for us. We had a family of three adults that took the downstairs room/s. And the three couples took the three upstairs rooms. The smaller, upstairs room doesn't have a door, just a curtain, so keep that in mind as far as privacy (and sleeping in!). We were only there 3 nights and 2 full days. We arrived Saturday, checked in and went to the Gingerbread for dinner. Fantastic, as usual! Some of our group went fishing with Grande D on Sunday, then we all went sloth and monkey sight seeing in La Fortuna with Miguel Jimenez Badilla on Monday. Whirlwind trip to Arenal, but all of our first-timers definitely want to return. Maybe we will make it to the swimming pool to hang out or go kayaking down at the lake on our next visit. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home Jennie!!
