While the owner of this home was very kind, and communicative, we were a bit disappointed when we arrived to this house. Perhaps we didn’t look closely enough at the photos, with great detail. As other reviews mention, the views are quite beautiful. But unfortunately, the home itself could use some work. It’s very dated, and very dark, and the building that is on property, where Stephanie the house manager lives, is an eyesore to look at when you arrive to the house, or even look through the kitchen in the window. Served our purposes for our stay, but we had a driver with us, who we thought would be able to comfortably stay in the additional twin that was mentioned. Those additional beds are actually in a very uncomfortable daybed that’s located in the living room. so we ended up having to pay for a small cabin for him to stay nearby. There’s really not much going on in this small town of La Fortuna, so if we ever returned to the area, we would choose to stay closer to where the Hot Springs are, or the downtown area. It was not a 10 minute drive, it was more like a 25 minute drive. At the end of the stay here, we enjoyed the time in the area. But if I’m being totally honest, none of us would give this five stars. I’m sorry, but I felt that for the price, and the photos that were clearly focused very much on the pool and the view, this did not fit our expectation. If the rate was lower, that would likely change my view on the experience.
