Looking for the perfect Costa Rican escape? Come be our guest in this beautiful and tranquil home on 1 acre with breathtaking views of the famous Lake Arenal. The home is built with natural hard woods and stone from Costa Rica and was completed in October 2016. You will not see a more stunning sunset in the world than that offered from our patio. Wildlife abounds with regular visits from toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, hawks, and many other bird species. The home is a bird watching paradise. We also get visits from sloths and monkeys - incredible wildlife.
The home boasts incredible views with a modern kitchen, two bedrooms, one bath, and two amazing outdoor living spaces overlooking the lake with a relaxing hammock. A pull out couch provides a 3rd queen size bed. A wall of windows and double sliding glass door allow for complete panoramic views inside and out. Equipped free wifi, washer and dryer and the most amazing shower.
Within the small community of La Union and less than 100 meters are 3 wonderful restaurants (One Belgian, One Canadian and one Local Cuisine). Just tell the owners Peggy (La Mansion Inn Arenal) and Joanne (Toucan Lane) that you are staying at our house and receive access to each pool and hotub for a small daily fee.
The house is 20 km from the spectacular Arenal Volcano and 10 more km to La Fortuna, the center for Costa Rica mountain adventures including zip lining, white water rafting, fishing and boating, horse back riding, ATV tours, and the best hot springs in the world. The acclaimed Tabbacon hot springs resort is 15 km from the house and can be accessed for a daily fee. All of these adventures can be booked through our friends at La Mansion Inn or in La Fortuna. While staying at the house, reserve a night for dinner at the Ginger Bread House, the best restaurant in all of Costa Rica a mere 6 km from the house. Tell Eyal we sent you.
The house is a 1.5 hour drive on all paved roads from the Liberia Airport, and 1.5 hours to the nearest Pacific beach town of Play del Coco. Transportation is available from either local tourism centers, or we can arrange for our caretaker to pick you up for a fee. The primary tourism bus runs from Liberia to La Fortuna and makes twice daily stops at La Union, 100 meters from the house.
Everything you need is here for an amazing adventure in the Costa Rica jungle, including bird watching, jungle living, and the occasional monkey, sloth and toucans hanging out in the trees above and below the property. This house is the true meaning of Pura Vida!

We absolutely loved the time we spent at this VRBO. The views off the deck were Stunning. The lake sunrise/sunsets, the morning birds, squirrels, deer and wildlife. It was an easy walk down to the lake as well as to restaurants and coffee shop. The house was super clean, the pool was wonderful and the beds were comfy. If you enjoy bird watching then this is the place for you!!! The hosts were excellent, we would stay here again for sure.Thank you for opening your home for us to enjoy!

This is our second time staying here and we won’t hesitate to come back again. I LOVE the addition of the infinity pool and updated deck. The view from the porch is like nothing I’ve experienced anywhere else. There were some negatives during this visit however. -The combo lock that held the key would not open for us. We had the right code, but the lock box would not open. We had to get a pen out of the car and pry it open…didn’t help that it was pouring rain and we had been traveling all day and fighting the box in the dark. -The addition of the “dishwasher” and “AC unit” is kinda pointless. The dishwasher is a counter top one that hardly fits any dishes, plus we couldn’t get it to work the entire time we were there. The AC unit is just a fan and there is only one of them in the house. The fan has a compartment that you add water too in order to help cool the air that comes through it, but it doesn’t work well.The bathroom was missing lights and it was so dark in there once the sun went down. We tried to find extra light bulbs to replace the missing ones, but the wiring for the lights were questionable..like hanging down from the ceiling. All that being said, we still enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back. It’s a beautiful home and perfect location wise and I love that it’s a little secluded and away from the super touristy areas.

This property was a dream and we loved everything about it! The view was spectacular and the pool was perfect for unwinding after a busy day. We saw toucans and many other birds right from the deck. We used their inflatable kayak and stand-up paddle board on the lake. The drive down to the lakeshore beyond the property was a little rough, but doable. Wish we could have spent more time here! The owners were very quickly responsive to questions.

This house is great, is quiet and tucked away. We saw toucans every day from the pool. The view is incredible. The host always answered our questions very quickly and everything was smooth. It's in between a town that has everything you need and the national park Arenal. Great experience!
