Casa Colíbri is wonderful! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. We were celebrating my 40th birthday. The house is one of the nicest places I've ever stayed. The hosts went above and beyond to educate guests about the property and the area nearby. They even provided videos of how to do or use certain things, like the stove, which was actually really helpful. Someone came by every morning to clean the pool and one day, he spotted a sloth on the property and took us to see it!! We loved the various wildlife we could see around the house including the sloth, toucans, lizards, butterflies, and of course, hummingbirds (not called hummingbird house for nothing!). A couple heads up for people that are tourists: the first night, I arrived before my friend and I didn't have access to a car. I asked the hosts for help ordering delivery. They helped me order traditional Costa Rican Arroz con Pollo. It cost $50USD for 2 portions AND a $15USD delivery fee. The entire week, I never saw Arroz con Pollo cost more than $10USD so clearly the delivery was exceptionally inflated. Definitely rent a car, you will need it, even though we were pretty close to everything. There is also a rooster on property that will crow pretty much all night. Nights I was exhausted, I could sleep through it but, it did wake me up several times. It would not stop me from staying here again but, something to keep in mind. The house is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and equipped

My phone didn't work even though I contacted my service. So we had a hard time contacting the host. But when we got there it was everything we had hoped for and more . It was so beautiful and peaceful. We can't wait to go back some day

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The peace and serenity in the country was most welcome yet it was not too far from the city. Everything was top notch.

Excellent priority for families to have a little extra space and to enjoy the pool.

Lovely home, clean, great location and so peaceful. We enjoyed every moment.

This was the perfect spot and everything we hoped for. So much room to spread out for a family of 4 and conveniently located near everything we wanted to see. Everyone there was so helpful and informative. Can't think of a better way to experience the La Fortuna area! We loved it. Thanks for the stay!

Great hosts, beautiful property, just a wonderful experience throughout our stay. No bug problems, even though I'm sure in the tropical cloud forest they are present. The property is about a mile from La Fortuna proper. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and outdoor areas. Be sure to keep a lookout for wildlife, we saw sloths, iguanas, toucans, and scarlet macaws. I hope to visit Casa Colibrí again.

We loved our stay at Casa Colibri. The house was clean and had everything we needed for cooking our own meals. It was close enough to all of the adventures we went on yet far enough away from town that we had a true feel for the rural vibe. Louis showed us the resident sloth! We would definitely stay here again.

This is a lovely house and is so much better than the description and photos on the VRBO site. The entire house has been updated with new luxurious bathrooms and a new kitchen. I would definitely stay here again.

The house was very modern and clean with a lovely infinity pool and gorgeous huge bathrooms. Nice to have Alexa at our disposal for lights etc. Very comfortable beds and lots of privacy.

Casa Colibrí exceeded my expectations. The house and property was much prettier than the pictures. The house suited are family of six. We saw toucans and macaws every day. The grounds keeper showed us a sloth on the property that totally made my girls trip. The house was gorgeous and looks brand new. The location is great because you're only a mile away from an awesome and clean super market (El Abuelo). We would definitely stay here again. I thought the pricing per person was an odd thing to have on a rental since I never came across this in my many rentals in the past. My parents decided to join us last minute which we had to increase our party size from 4 to 6, therefore had to pay extra for them. Regardless we would stay here again! Pura Vida!!!

Beautiful home with great views. Home was very clean and well kept. My family and I were able to see a sloth on the property. Home is very close to many attractions around the La Fortuna area, so it makes for a easy commute! Arnaldo and his family are some of the best host we ever had. We will definitely be back, Pura Vida!

Lots of bedrooms & bathrooms for 6 adults (3 couples) & 2 teenagers to stay. Pool & outdoor dining area were beautiful, we spent most of our time outside when we were there. Easy drive into La Fortuna for activities & dining. Lots of parrots in the nearby trees & even a sloth for a few days! Main negatives were the daily visits by random dogs in the area. One of our party members is afraid of dogs & was constantly on alert for them & had to go inside multiple times a day when they would wander over. A/C unit did not work in one of the bedrooms, alerted property owner but as it was over Christmas holidays, not much could be done. Would stay again!

We had a lovely time at Casa Colibri in Arenal! We were 5 adults (parents and 3 adult children) traveling for the holiday. There was plenty of space for us to relax and have privacy. We really appreciate that Arnaldo the host was easy to contact and provided us with a welcome packet via email, so we weren’t bugging him with questions. The location was a little further from La Fortuna than we’d thought, but it was lovely. We felt very safe and had easy access to markets and restaurants. Looks like the kitchen had recently been improved by quite a bit and a few appliances had not been fully hooked up. We would’ve loved to have a clothes line or somewhere to hang wet swim clothes but we’re able to make do. Pool and outdoor area were great! Arenal is a must visit. Would absolutely stay at Casa Colibri again!

This was the perfect beginning to our trip! The house fit all our needs for our family of 5. My boys loved the amazing pool and we even got to see some sloths on the property. We enjoyed a couple of waterfalls nearby, bakeries and restaurants in town, and one of the many hot spring resorts in the area. There is so much to do in La Fortuna, we could have stayed another week!

This is a wonderful property. It’s clean, well-maintained, modern, spacious, comfortable, and has an amazing, private pool. probably the best VRBO property we’ve ever stayed at. There are minor issues. This is not to discourage anyone from staying here, but to alert the property owner: - Kitchen cooktop is entirely digital, and difficult to operate. (It’s also partially broken, as evidenced by the error message). There is a video offered by the owner on how to turn on the cooktop, but it’s doesn’t go far enough. Operation of it is counter-intuitive. - Other kitchen equipment was lacking. All pots and pans were stainless steel, which is hard to use and harder to clean. There was one nin-stick pan that was too worn out to be used. No small spoons, only large ones. - Washer/dryer is exceedingly loud. Something is clearly amiss with the washing machine. - Bathroom door lock is broken. At first it didn’t work at all. The owner came by to fix it, but that actually made it worse. Now it’s east to get locked inside. The handle needs to be replaced. - Glass wall and doors to shower do not prevent water from escaping out if you accidentally aim the shower head at the glass. - Stray dogs wander on to the premises at night (This is a positive thing for people who love dogs) - There is a rooster in the compound who crows very early in the morning, like at 2 or 3 AM. He’s loud, and persistent. Wear earplugs to sleep. I would still stay here again.

There are so many things that went wrong and understand some things were not in their control. 1) due to storm power went out and we slept with no ac and it was very humid - we didn't get any sleep that night 2) bugs everywhere- they mentioned there might be a few but they were in our beds, got in our luggage in the kitchen it was horrible 3) Netflix issue - it was 50/50 chance the tv worked it wasn't the best 4) pool lights - would go on and off while we tried to night swim - we ended up not using the pool very much 5) stray dogs - we were running from our house from the taxis because the stray dogs would run up on us - this also effected our pool stay 6) room lights - would flicker when using 7) bathroom doors didn't lock

The property was beautiful. The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable. There was lots of hot water, lots of towels, and the pool was lovely. I highly recommend this home. It is close to La Fortuna and many of the popular activities. We especially enjoyed the tour of the finca Don Jorge.

Nice, Clean house close to all the things to do in the La Fortuna area. Gated so you feel safe. My girls loved the infinity pool. Bedrooms were spacious.

Loved the house. It was bigger than we needed for family of 4, could have accommodated 8 easily. Secure location with gated entry. Saw sloth in trees and numerous bird species. Kids loved the good-sized pool with waterfall. Property manager promptly answered any questions we had. Only minus - located about 15 minutes from central La Fortuna, although not much of an inconvenience. Great family property.

Clean, well-equipped house 15 minutes south of La Fortuna. The veranda was spacious and the pool spotless. The kitchen was good for breakfasts and simple dinners. The beds were comfortable with ample storage. There was a generous supply of bath and pool towels. This was one of the cleanest VRBOs I've ever rented; BUT there are lots of bugs in Costa Rica and you need to clean every cup and counter asap to keep the gnats at bay. The AC was great. Having a washer-dryer was fantastic, but it was a surprisingly noisy (so no loads after bedtime). The house is one of three rental houses on a private, gated drive. The photos don't show the newer houses - but you can't help but see them when you sit by the pool, and they can't help but see you as they come and go. The other houses on the court that face towards the woods (Casa Esmerelda looks awesome this way) - but Casa Colibri parallels the driveway so has limited privacy. The views beyond the neighbors are an orchard, forest with bird life, and very distant mountains. The volcano is not visible from the house (but can be seen if you walk a bit uphill towards the entrance gate). We saw toucans every afternoon, and one morning there was a sloth that the workman showed my family. The property manager was quick to respond to any questions, and when asked, sent the gate and door codes the day before we arrived.

Great house. Lots of room. Clean. Nice pool. Must have car. Tough to get ride share service to come to house to take you to La Fortuna, otherwise very nice property and house. Enjoyed our stay.

My husband & I just spent 2 weeks at this beautiful property. The house, gardens & pool were all immaculate. The area is very quiet but only an easy 15 minute drive from La Fortuna where there are lots of excellent restaurants & supermarkets. There is lots to do within a 45 minute drive from the house. It was great to go exploring the local area & then come back & cool off in the pool & finish the day off with a BBQ. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & will definitely stay at this property again.

4 of us came on a work trip and decided to spend a couple days ziplining and rafting before getting to work. This house was ideally located for our visits to both activities and we really enjoyed the layout of the house and the pool. My only wish was that we could have spent the entire week here rather than only a night or two. Arnaldo was incredibly helpful when I had user error with the lock and he provides a fantastic house manual. When my family returns to Costa Rica for a vacation I plan on staying here.

It is a beautiful home with trees along the outskirts. The pool was so refreshing and lovely to sit in while listening to the sounds of the rainforest around us. Easy drive to the town. Our host was quick to respond to us when we needed help. It was perfect for our stay in La Fortuna and fairly close to all our activities. I would definitely stay here again.

This property is even better than it looks online. The pool and property are amazing and so well cared for. The pool was cleaned everyday. The house is set up really well, and is actually more modern than the images give it credit for. It is a nice distance out of town and really easy to access with a car. Beds are comfortable and clean. Arnaldo is really attentive and really responsive via whats app. He fixed our broken a/c really quickly which was appreciated. Lots of reviews complain about the bugs, but as long as you clean the kitchen and outdoor table really well after meals, and do not leave food out even on the counters, they are not a big problem. We started to have fun with the bigger bugs who liked to join us for outdoor meals. They were not bad enough to keep us from eating outside! We would love to stay here again sometime down the road.

Just a great place to stay with all the amenities you need. You will feel safe and want to come back.

My family of 5 enjoyed our stay at Casa Colibri. The house was much bigger than we expected. Kitchen was well stocked to prepare your own meals and the outdoor grill was in excellent condition. The property is well maintained, especially the pool. We saw it get cleaned every day. It is a short drive to La Fortuna on a paved road. It can get loud early in the morning with nearby roosters, so I recommend earplugs if you are a light sleeper. We would definately rent this house again.

Fabulous - Felt like Home, actually better than home. We could have just moved in and stayed forever. We LOVED this home, the location, and the property. The views! The home is spacious and the bedrooms have air conditioning. Everything was clean and lovely. We enjoyed the pool at the end of the day. They made it so easy to be here with clear instructions on how to get here, how to get in and use the property. They are more high tech than we are at home. Alexia turns on the pool waterfall when you ask! Can't wait to come again! Thank you for a wonderful visit and stay in Costa Rica!

Was perfect location for everything you would want to do on the area. Host was very friendly! Definitely will stay again

Excellent property and exactly as advertised. Great location as long as you have a car. Property owner was excellent and very responsive to any questions and was always trying to help us with any of our tour/activity questions. Very clean property and nice grounds. Would highly recommend.

The casa is well located just a short drive from la Fortuna and all amenities. The private pool is a welcome cooling dip after a humid hike. The kitchen is well equipped and met our needs for basic meals. We did have a hiccup with one air conditioner unit leaking water into one of the bedrooms. We informed the owner and used a different room. Nearby construction of a house wasn' t too bothersome as our schedule was away from the casa mostbof the day. Would stay again and fully recommend.
