About this house rental

The exterior of our home inclues a 600 sq. foot covered wraparound porch where we gather, read and paint--even on rainy days (a real plus as we do get warm rain). The interior is all custom made by one of the local artisan contractors, including slotted bamboo kitchen cupboards and custom carved doors and accent pieces. We are also continously adding to our art collection which currently includes several colorful paintings. This truly feels like an inviting home base, from which you can explore the beauty and wonder of Costa Rica.
Sitting on our deck looking over the lake is like being on tropical safari. The area is a serene, magical place to rendezvous with nature. We are 40 minutes from La Fortuna (much closer than many lake homes) and even closer to zip lining, kayaking, horseback riding and gorgeous Volcano Arenal. The house has a spacious, open floor plan and wrap around deck with spectacular views. We enjoy the breeze off the lake, which provides comfort year round. We hope you come enjoy our slice of heaven!

The grounds and wrap around deck were wonderful. We spent most of the time on the deck. Steve was most helpful with his suggestions and knowledge of the area. The carved wood in the house was exceptional. The nights were a bit warm for us and the hill to get to the property was doable but difficult with a car. Location was great and all the restaurants were fabulous.

I highly recommend this property. The large covered tile patio overlooks gorgeous landscaping. The well-appointed main room has a very comfortable, double reclining, leather sofa. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped. The host, Steve, was very pleasant and helpful.

We stayed 4 nights here. Nice layout. Two bedrooms, bathroom, open kitchen/living/dining area. TV and Wi-Fi. Hot water all throughout. Stacked washer/dryer in unit. Private. Convenient. Stayed nice and cool. Full kitchen except dishwasher which was fine with us and as expected. Could have benefited from some additional kitchen items but we did fine. Like most of the houses we’ve stayed in on many island vacations, this house was in need of some basic repairs. The only one that was much concern to us was the door latches on the sliding glass doors from the master bedroom to the patio did not latch. We didn’t have any issues with theft but working latches would have added a little peace of mind. A nice addition would be a safe if some sort for valuables. In a country where everyone tells you not to leave any valuables in your car, it’s not terribly realistic to also tell folks to not leave any valuables on the house. Especially on an adventure vacation where water and rain are so ever present and computers, tablets, and smartphones are a way of life for so many.

I loved everything about this stay. The caretaker met us at 8:00 at night to take us up to the house. The house was clean and well stocked. The temperature was perfect. The rain was soothing in the evening. The yard was clean and full of fruits. The property was beautiful. The porch creating a wonderful opportunity to view the lake & relax. The house was great! I recommend this property!!

Very comfortable home and fantastic views
Very comfortable home and fantastic views
The vistas are fantastic and there's a nice big porch to enjoy them from. The home is well maintained and stocked with all necessities. The neighbors were friendly (and so were their dogs, which we loved!) Really good restaurants in the area. A lovely place to relax and enjoy the views and relative quiet, and explore the area. The only two issues we had were 1. They are building a new house right next door so noisy during the day. Nothing anyone can do about that. 2. We had problems with the water. Shower was either boiling hot or cold; no warm/in between. We also did not have hot water for one day. That said, the property manager, Steve, was super responsive and very helpful. He did everything he could to get it corrected. We would stay here again.

La Casa Artistika est un havre de paix, grande et comfortable avec une grande terrasse ayant une vue magnifique sur le lac Arénal. Nous avons eu une très bonne communication avec Steve (la personne responsable sur place).

We enjoyed our three night stay at Casa Artistica while visiting Nuevo Arenal and La Fortuna. The house is situated on a lovely piece of land that overlooks Lake Arenal. We especially enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner at Gingerbread and our full day tour that included hanging bridges, waterfalls, the Arenal volcano, sloth sightings, and hot springs.
