Amazing!
The photos do not do the house justice. On arrival the house was clean and had all of the necessary kitchen and bathroom essentials. Each room had an individual bathroom with shower that had good pressure. The view of the arenal volcano was breath taking and the pool was a perfect way to stay cool down in the heat. Disclaimer the pool structure is made of a cement type of material and we did get some scrapes, but nothing too bad. Also, there is no jacuzzi it is simply a “water feature”. In addition, there are lots of insects surrounding the property and they do tend to go in the house but we expected it and we had no real issues. One thing I wish the house provided would be some type of curtain in the master bedroom. The sunrise would light up the room and wake us up very early and at night it was pitch black outside and creepy at first especially with all the noise outdoors. Overall, we would definitely stay here on our next visit to Costa Rica!

Rainforest getaway
My wife and two adult children stayed here for a week. Everything was as advertised, especially the need of a four wheel drive getting to the place. A lot of room in the house and beautiful views. The large porch was very relaxing for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Would definitely stay again.

Serenity is the Perfect Name
What a special place to stay. The view of Arenal is amazing and there are so many birds you can watch all day and see a dozen or more species. Sit on the back deck and watch the hummingbirds…..and there are lots of them. House was very nice, beds are comfy, has all the essential kitchen supplies and the water is potable. The Master has no blinds so be prepared but there is no one to look in so no worries. Note, there are no closets or dressers so you will be living out of your suitcase. As many others have pointed out the drive to the place is more than a little interesting. For sure have a 4WD vehicle, which you need anyway for some of the things to do in the area. There is a restaurant up the hill that is very good and reasonable. We got in late due to a wreck and showed up to eat 20 minutes before they closed. They could not have been nicer and the food was tasty. There was also a group of women doing karioki upstairs which was entertaining.

Great location
This property is wonderful. Just the other side of the mountain from la Fortuna and a long drive up a mountain but well worth it. There are lots of things to do and places to eat right near the property and the wildlife you can see out your door is incredible.

The name sums it up: Serenity
A stunning location with a comfortable and well-equipped home. Morning coffee on the patio to watch the toucans along with other birds and the amazing views of the Arenal Volcano made for the best start to each day. There are lots of activities in the area and great places to eat, especially the Ventanita Cafe and the Phoenix. Just make sure you have a four-wheel vehicle to get to and from the house when you leave the main road...it's a must have. We highly recommend Serenity!

House with a view
Serenity House is exactly what is described and all the photos are accurate. The views from the porch are amazing and the wildlife is everywhere. We saw monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds and countless more birds. The nighttime insects are abundant though so be prepared for that. The pool stopped working 2x in our time there and would randomly turn back on, it wasn’t too big of a deal because it was too cold for us to use. The view from the pool is lovely though. As for location…it is VERY remote. The drive up the mountain is very rough and you definitely need 4x4. It was an adventure for sure. We had dinner at The Phoenix our first night and it was perfect. El Patio at the bottom of the road also has outstanding food. Overall, we loved the house and location. Just be prepared for rough roads and bugs and spiders in the house. It is a jungle!

Amazing views, great off the beaten path stay
Wonderful house at a great price. It is as described, so be prepared to be a little remote. The local town is wonderful with a great fruit and retable stand, bakery, and restaurants. Each morning we would adventure out for an activity (such as hanging bridges and ziplines). It took about 35 minutes to get to the different destinations. The view from the house is wonderful and as other reviews mention, the wildlife is present! Our only hiccup was with the couple of power outages we had to figure out how to manual open the gate. It was simple enough todo, but did cause a moments pause.

Secluded Jungle House with Amazing Views and lots of Birds
Loved this place! The back yard was amazing. The views were amazing of the volcano. The pool to cool off in was awesome. The birds were so fun to watch- we saw toucans, hummingbirds and yellow chest birds. The Pheonix restaurant just down the road was definitely one of our favorite places to eat- went there both nights. Really close to Sky Adventures for zip lining. You need a car that can handle a rocky road to get here- it's a fun drive up and down. Property manager wonderful- helped us reserve zip lining and recommended restaurants. La Street Bistro in downtown Fortuna was really good too. Highly recommend this place!

A very lovely stay
As indicated by the photos & description everything matched. We had an exceptional experience staying here from the first breath taking view of Volcan de Arenal upon waking to dipping our toes in the pool during a hot afternoon. As recommended having a 4x4 to get up the steep gravel road is more comfortable. Be mindful of the black entry gate as it is slow to open & close.

Beautiful home in wonderful community
My family and I loved this home! It was absolutely stunning and the view was incredible. It looked just like the pictures. It was located in a great community with some local restaurant options that were very tasty. The property manager was very helpful and answered all questions we had. There were many activities nearby that we could do and the area was quite. The only area of improvement would have been more towels for the pool and some fans as it did get a little hot without AC. Other than that it was perfect! We would recommend it to anyone and would definitely go back.

Relaxing home with gorgeous volcano views
We enjoyed our stay at Serenity home. The name of the house says it all. The views from the house are absolutely gorgeous. The size was perfect for our family of six. The air was cool up on the mountain so we didn’t miss having an AC. We found the home to be very relaxing. The beds were comfortable, and we loved hanging out on the patio. The home is designed with lots of sliding glass doors which open up to a patio that spans back and side of house. The view of the volcano was amazing. We also loved seeing the many hummingbirds that would visit the flowering shrubs of the house. We liked the quiet location of the house. La Fortuna was so congested when we visited (long Easter weekend), and it was nice to stay at a place away from the crowds.

Pure Serenity!
This home is lovely. The volcano views and bird watching each morning set the tone for our daily adventures. Communication with our host was spot on. House location would be challenging without a 4wheel drive vehicle… thank you for highly recommending that. Nestled high in the rain forest yet a beautiful drive each day to our hiking/swimming/ touring choices, the house served as a wonderful sanctuary after full days of adventure. Could not have asked for a better 1st experience on Costa Rica. Can’t wait to return. Pura Vita!

Amazing views like no other!
Amazing property, well kept, and gorgeous views. If you get lucky enough you can get a clear view of the volcano (it’s probably the best you can get in the area). The pool is great, however it’s not a hot tub in the photo, it’s a water feature. The drive up to the property is very bumpy and uphill, we didn’t have a 4x4 so it was a little more difficult but we still made it up fine. All in all, a great stay and a beautiful property with a gorgeous view!

Great host, Nice location but need upgrades
The host, Augustin was wonderful. He was professional and extremely helpful and deserves a 5 star review. Great location with a swiming pool & a wonderful view of the volcano, specially from the porch. But the house is old and definitely needs upgrades in the following area: -Need new kitchen appliances/utensils/dishes. No dish washer -replace torn/beat up couches -Need curtains in the master bedroom -Need new bed sheets/covers -The house is not well sealed therefore there were a lot of small bugs, specially in the bathrooms -There was NO TV in any of the rooms -There is a tall tree that blocks the view of the volcano from the master bed room -There was no chest/draws/wardrobe for clothing -There were only a few old/cheap wire hangers

This house was absolutely amazing. The view was unparalleled--the most amazing birds seem to be residences of the property! The home was very well-equipped with plenty of towels, kitchen items, and very comfortable living room furniture and porch furniture. I would love to stay here again! The local host, Agustin, gave us restaurant recommendations, market recommendations, and even medical doctor/hospital recommendations when we were afraid we needed that! I am still dreaming about this house!

Beautiful and serene
We had a wonderful stay - woke up in the morning to birdsong and enjoyed watching the hummingbirds. The house is open and spacious with many dramatic touches. The patio has a stupendous view of the valley and Arenal volcano. We spent one memorable afternoon watching the different views of the volcano as the clouds and sun moved through. The Phoenix restaurant is minutes away and the food was delicious. The pizza was a bit heavy but all other dishes were healthy and flavorful. Only drawback to the property is the steep road to the property but this also guarantees beautiful high views and privacy. Check in is easy and the property manager provided excellent information. We booked a skydiving trip through Mondo Adventure in La Fortuna, Professional organization and we felt safe and the 12 different zip lines satisfied us all, even 2 teenagers.

A Gorgeous Villa with Great View
We’re a family of six who lived here for several days. The place is big enough for all of us with open floor plan, high ceilings, modern kitchen, and multiple glass doors opened up for great view of the volcano mountain and the lake. The swimming pool and garden were very secluded. The only improvement I would suggest to make is to have the high-end bedroom furnitures/bed liens/deco. Overall this is a great place to stay, and definitely would recommend friends to come to this serenity place.

The view is absolutely spectacular obviously. We had no problem with check in or out. We ate 3-4 meals at the phoenix restaurant down the road. It’s great. Cookie is a local good dog who will come hang out. Some things to note: you are a 45 minute drive from fortuna. Water warm but not hot. Bring a sleep mask for the big bedroom, no curtains. What looks like a hot tub is not actually a hot tub. All that being said, we loved everything. The place was spotless, the beds were comfy, and everyone we met was super friendly.

The house, view, and location were beyond expectations. Kind of had to pinch yourself each morning waking up to make sure it was real life and so happy we chose this property for our honeymoon. Also very helpful were the employees at the welcome center in town who provided recommendations and helped with bookings. Great pizza at Howlers and certainly grab some drinks / food down the road at the Phoenix.

This property is amazing! Beautiful home with panoramic windows throughout overlooking the jungle, volcano and the lake. Heard howlers, saw toucans. Secluded but can walk to an awesome little restaurant called Phoenix for 3 meals a day, run by a fantastic little family that we quickly made friends with. Great hiking trails, hot springs, outdoor adventures all very close by. We did the Bali hot springs and water fall repelling. Both a lot of fun! The pool at the house is great although a couple degrees warmer would be perfect. Wifi is sketchy. Property managers were super responsive and helpful. Steep dirt road up to the house (if you’re not ready for steep dirt roads, you’re not ready for CR) but easy enough with AWD. 4WD would be a bonus. We will definitely be back. This place is amazing! Highly recommend you stay here for some of the best pura vida CR has to offer.

Beautiful Retreat with great views and comfort for the family
The home is located atop a hill. It has beautiful views of Lake Arenal, Arenal Volcano and the Rain forest surrounding it. The mornings are beautiful, we could just sit on the porch or near the pool and spend few hours looking around, at the birds, humming birds, sunrise over the mountains and the whole scenery. All places to visit are close by about 15-30 minutes by drive. The kitchen is well equipped and there are 2 stores close by one down the hill and another a few minutes away. There is a small restaurant close by, But we did not go there. The swimming pool was fresh and nice, afternoon swims until close to sunset is good. When we contacted the property manager for this home, he had advised to take a 4x4. Its required and just follow his advise. Also make sure you close the netted doors, it keeps bugs away at sundown and at night.

There is a good restaurant within walking distance, but otherwise you do need to drive everywhere, but that is okay if you want to get away and have some peace and quiet. Great place to stay.

Nice and quiet house with a killer volcano and lake view, and a lot of birds! Close to everything Arenal has to offer: Sky adventure park, vocalno national park (must try the restaurant at the end of the trail), Tabacon, and more. Need to drive on an unpaved uphill road for about 10 min to get to the house, we drove a 4x4 so it's no problem but it does take a little getting use to. Wifi not high-speed but enough for streaming. Overall we had a great time!
