Perfect for a family vacay in La Fortuna

Casa Turquesa was a wonderful place for our family to stay for our vacation in the La Fortuna area. We felt safe in the gated property. The pool was perfect for the kids. The decor was elegant and charming at the same time. And you can’t beat the location! It’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city bit just a quick 5-minute drive into town. Highly recommend!

Fabulous pool area

We were a family of 6- 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 girls 4.5 and 7.5 yrs old. We loved the colourful house. There was plenty of room on the main floor- 3 sitting areas. The bedrooms were great! But the best part was the pool with the waterfall. My grandkids loved it so much! I think we went swimming 3 times a day.! Now the cons. There is no hot water in the kitchen to wash the dishes. Also,the oven dial markings have disappeared. So it was a bit difficult when you wanted to use the oven. Other than that we lived the place. Especially the grandkids!

Perfect Location

Couldn’t be happier with this property and location in La Fortuna. Plenty of space and close to all the activities. Host was very responsive to questions. The kids enjoyed the pool and the lights outside at night made it easy to enjoy once the sun went down

amazing vacation home

We had 6 adults and 1 2 year old. Home was perfect for us. Beds comfortable, house very clean, set up perfectly. The pool was amazing which we enjoyed daily. Proximity to restaurants and sites was perfect. Yes there was traffic noise but no big deal, got used to it. Only slight downfall the tub had no plug for bath, owner stated it was broken but never did get fixed. With a 2 year old not being able to bath after long days it was a bit of issue but managed with the shower hose. As well had to go buy extra paper towels and some spices (garlic, oregano, oil etc) again no big deal. would be nice to have lounge chairs outside. However none of these issues would take away the amazing experience we had. Carolina was very quick to respond to any questions and very kind. Pura Vida Costa Rica we will be back!!

Very Nice House Great Stay

Five of us stayed here for a week in June. Me, wife, 2 kids, and my mother. This property fit all our needs. I think it was nicer than the pictures. Internet was fast. Location was good(only 5 minutes from town center). House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was furnished well. Favorite part was of course the pool, swim up bar, and waterfall. We will book again if ever in the area!

Beautiful home!

Our family of 5 stayed in Casa Turquesa June 1-6. It was super clean, nice and very accommodating. The location was perfect-only about a 2-3 minutes drive from La Fortuna. We would definitely stay here again.

Convenient and Comfortable

Everything was great about our stay. The property is a short drive from La Fortuna, check-in was very easy, there is a close by property manager that is easy to reach, and the pool is wonderful (day and night!). This property really made our stay near the Arenal volcano very easy with our young children.

About the host

Hosted by Carolina Rico

Host profile image
Our names are Luis and Carolina, we have been together for 20 years, and have 4 kids. We reside in California and run a construction business. Our dream is to retire in La Fortuna in the near future so we bought this house, and made it a home to be loved and enjoyed by vacationers in the meanwhile. It has been quite an experience, we expected to make only some cosmetic changes, but things changed along the way. We ended up fully demolishing and reconstructing the second floor, fully remodeling the first floor while adding square footage, and a carport, and a resort style pool. We have had fun planning and decorating the house to make it warm, welcoming, and unique. We hope you enjoy your stay and make tons of memories.

Why they chose this property

Because of it's location and privacy. It is close to everything but away from everyone. It is only a 5 minute drive to the magical La Fortuna town.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, and accessibility by any type car to the main road that connects to downtown, San Jose and main cities.
