Holiday rentals with lake access in Costa Rica

One of the most beautiful locations, the view over the lake is simply stunning. Magical sunsets. Location is a 10. Super quiet and peaceful, many birds come close to the house and I found it a true delight to hear them sing through the morning. House is spacious, beds are comfortable. Sheets are clean and soft. Kitchen is well equipped. Terrace is just a lovely place to hang out.

We enjoyed our stay! It's a nice, clean home with scenic views in an authentic, safe community. We bought a few basics for breakfast (eggs, queso blanco, milk, coffee, juice) at the nearby community mini-market (a few blocks away) so we could make breakfast at the place. If you want fresh fruits & veggies, you should stop at a bigger market on your way (La Fortuna? Or El Castillo?). We ate dinner twice at the nearby La Terraza restaurant, which was good. We loved the batidos de fruta (fruit smoothies/shakes - 'de leche' ('of milk') . My favorite is the batido de papaya (de leche). My kids also tried the strawberry, pineapple, maracuya (and I think others, too!). We enjoyed the dishes we had there, too. Internet at the house can be spotty, but there's some cell reception, too. If you're on vacation and just checking your email from time to time and researching things to do in the area, it's fine; if you're looking to be a digital nomad, this is probably not the place for you.

Such a beautiful location and the PERFECT villa for my family and I. The property is exactly as per the photos. It is maintained daily by Vincete (awesome guy and super friendly/really helpful). The house was cleaned daily at no extra cost. We had such a wonderful time staying here with 2 young kids, grandma and brother’s family. The view from the kitchen and outdoor area/pool is beautiful and never gets old. Would love to come back again!

The place is very nice and private , the service was good , the house was perfect !!! The super quiet place, we had a great time!!!

Our stay at Elisabeth and Michael's home was fantastic! We felt as though we had stepped back in time to the early 1900's. They have done an amazing job restoring the place while retaining the original character. Their home is truly a work of art. While there are a few modern conveniences one might find missing, we had everything we needed, were very comfortable and felt completely at home. Michael's breakfast was wonderful and he was always ready to help in every way possible. Our conversations with our hosts were captivating and one of the hi lights of our time in Costa Rica! It is quite apparent that Elisabeth and Michael love Puntarenas and Costa Rica. That affection is quite contagious and we found ourselves more in love with their country having visited with them in their home for a few days and would definitely stay with them again.

This is truly an incredible place! Private pool, away from the business but close enough to enjoy epic beaches, restaurants and all the other things you want to do. I highly recommend staying here.

After staying here last year our kids were so excited to come back! They love the pool! The house has everything you need and is very clean! The property is amazing and we have even seen several sloths.

Very well equipped home in a quiet lakeside community. Laura is a lovely host and is proactive and friendly. Loved that there are screens on the windows and doors to be able to use fans downstairs and not have to go between pool and cold AC. Great bike paths and trails, a 5min drive to the beach. Hermosa beach isn’t a swimming beach, but you can still go in the shallow end during low tide for a dip. They haven’t yet cleaned up the logs and debris from the shoreline, so it’s still a bit rough, but nice for a long walk. Would definitely stay again!

An excellent place, it feels like peace. Surrounded by nature and with an excellent location. 100% Recommended

I booked this for my coworkers. I was the only one in communication with the host and I was in another country and it all worked out. It was so smooth

A really nice and cozy place.

Lovely place with a beautiful lake view. The check-in mechanism allow us enter at early morning when we were coming from my sister’s wedding. Highly recommend if you what to spend a peaceful night with the song of the lake/river and births and delicious native food restaurants around the area. Thanks Yinley for this opportunity!!!

We stayed a couple of days where Cristian to rest and recharge batteries. He is very nice and friendly. The apartment had everything we needed, from a delicious coffee, to extra blankets for the cold. We highly recommend it.

Great place, great host. Upon arrival by boat, we were received directly and everything necessary was explained. Requests were responded to and helped quickly. Very clean space with smart TV, coffee maker, fridge (very clean) and great bathroom. Very cozy bed overlooking the lagoon. In the morning (5.30 am) you can hear howler monkeys. The place is about 15 min from the center, the path can be found very intuitively. All in all highly recommended and great host 👍👍

It is a very healthy area, easily moves where you want to go and everything is within reach, restaurant and shops in general

Ruben was an amazing host! Place was super cozy and he was SUPER NICE! We couldnt feel more at home than what we did! This was the consensus of myself, wife and kids! Will look for this place when going to Costa Rica!!

Amazing place! Great views. We had a problem with our shower and they sent someone to fix it right away. We stayed here to visit the cascadas celetes, it was about an hour from there.

The property is very cozy and the place where it is located looks very safe, and the property is exactly as seen in the photos. Playa Dominical and Playa Hermosa is an hour away, the streets to get to the place in good condition. The communication with the owners was excellent and we always felt that they were looking to help us with our inquiries,the property does not have air conditioning but the nights are cool as it has a good ventilation and with fans it is enough to keep the house cool during the night.

Great place to spend a weekend or some vacation time, with a tiny supermarket nearby which can be reached out by walking. Adrian was very responsive, making the stay even better. I recommend the place and would stay again when going to La Fortuna

We had a great stay, and really enjoyed using the hot tub after long adventure days. The home had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable.

very peaceful place with a great pool

Absolutely loved our stay! The property is stunning, with beautifully maintained grounds and breathtaking views of the volcano. Very private - no one else nearby. Our kids couldn’t get enough of the pool and jacuzzi—it was the perfect place to relax. The location is great too, just a quick and easy 15-minute drive into downtown. Kenneth was an exceptional host—super responsive and thoughtful, even leaving fresh coconuts in the fridge for us. We would definitely stay here again!

A very quiet place to enjoy as a family with all amenities, excellent to go with pets since there is a lot of space, the host is always attentive and friendly, in end everything is very good.

Karolina was an amazing host and the airbnb was beautiful beyond our expectations. The family welcomed us into the home and were extremely responsive in helping us get settled and acquainted with the area. We loved the stay and wish we could’ve stayed more!
