About this house rental

*New Ownership!

This comfortable, spacious yet private retreat accommodates up to 7 people. All the bedrooms are equipped with Air Conditioning and black out Drapes. The Master bedroom is equipped with 1 queen size bed and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom have a bunk bed, full size in the bottom and twin size at the top, and the third bedroom have 1 queen size bed.

Adjacent to each bedroom upstairs there is a surrounding deck which is accessible through large glass doors and floor to ceiling windows. It truly gives one the feeling of being in a treehouse. You comfortably wake to lush views of the mountains, trees and birds.
As you step outside onto the deck, you will instantly be greeted with lovely views of Arenal Volcano. While enjoying your early morning coffee, you will experience the wildlife from a front seat viewing area. Howler monkeys will chatter as green parrots and toucans fly by overhead. The local neighborhood Macaw will spend quality time entertaining you in the fruit trees directly in front of you!
The new Spring feed Swimming Pool is the perfect complement to begin the morning with a swim or to cool down and enjoy after a day of exploring the area.
After a long day enjoying a great hike or any other rainforest activity, the early evening does not disappoint you with our spectacular sunsets with reflective views of the volcano. All is breathtaking from this viewpoint as hummingbirds and fireflies dance right in front of you!

We got what we wanted. I nice, safe, clean home to accommodate our family in the Arenal area. We were there 3 night and loved the location away from busy La Fortuna. Restaurants right around the house were great, not busy and good food.

What a cool little town El Castillo is! Highly recommend staying at Firefly. You can walk to restaurants, there is a really nice pool on-property and you can walk up the road to Lilander's for an amazing horseback riding tour. Agustin is incredibly nice and helpful with everything related to the house. This house is close to Sky Adventures and the Arenal National Park. Great location, lots of birds and wildlife everywhere. Really, really enjoyed our stay.

We felt that the property could have been cleaner. The floor did not seem clean. The main floor also had a musty / mildew smell that we did not appreciate. Other than that the property itself is beautiful and the location is quite stunning.
