The view is worth it
We had a rough start with communication and getting into the property when we arrived late. I was told I would get the check-in details at 2:45 pm. That did NOT happen. I drive for 4 hours and then had to wait and contact via What’sApp, which was never specified in earlier communication with the property manager/owner. Nela was able to communicate the information needed, and the rest of the stay went well. There’s no closets or drawers to unpack your stuff. There’s no air conditioning in the main house, only in the bedrooms, but sitting out on the patio was delightful as I watched the volcano view change throughout our weekend. Nela provided a lot of great recommendations for places to go , eat and see. Overland , I really enjoyed our time there.

Family Vacation
Magnalia House was perfect for our 2 night stay in La Fortuna. Great location to downtown. Clean, comfortable and beautiful. The cabina located just off the main house is perfect for an additional family member or older kids. Each bedroom with their own bathroom and A/C. Very private, located in a developing neighborhood. Neal, the host was very responsive and offered great guidance to restaurants, markets, bakeries and activities. Would recommend and stay again.

One of the best stays we've ever had
I should first say, I am a travel creator and our family travels all around the world so I am very picky. We (my husband, 7 year old twins, and me) stayed here for an entire week and this place was an absolute gem! Nela answered my million questions prior to our trip and was so kind (we got stuck in a rain storm at night on the way from the airport and her and her husband ran to the store so we would have essentials in the fridge for our kids when we got there), and they gave perfect suggestions for restaurants and activities. The house is GORGEOUS and was so clean! It is in a very quiet and safe neighborhood (super important to me) and close to everything. The A/C's in the bedrooms worked great. I saw complaints earlier about no where to hang clothes but they added a hanging rack in the bedrooms so that was perfect too. My kiddos had fun every day swimming in the pool! We saw sloths right down the street which was really cool! I don't have any negative things to say...if we come back to La Fortuna, we will 100% stay here again! It was a trip we will never forget!

Clean and comfortable home
We loved staying in Nela’s home in La Fortuna. The house was very clean, the location of the home was very convenient to everything in La Fortuna. Communication was easy with Nela, and she had great restaurant recommendations. The beds were comfy and we loved spending time outside in the courtyard and taking dips in the little pool to cool down in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Perfect for La Fortuna/ Arenal
We wanted to find a place in close distance to Arenal/ La Fortuna, and this was a great option for our family of 5. It was a short drive (6 minutes) to La Fortuna and less than 30 minutes to most tours/sites in the area (so we'd recommend having a rental car). The home was relatively quiet (some barking dogs, but that's expected) very clean (but make sure you clean well, otherwise the ants come marching in, but again, that's part of being in Costa Rica). The property manager was very responsive and helpful. We'd rent here again for sure. Thank you!

Great stay in La Fortuna
We stayed 3 nights at Magnalia House and enjoyed our time in La Fortuna. After we downloaded Whats@pp communication with Nela, our host was easy. The property is as pictured and we enjoyed cooling off in the little pool. Nela gave us some recommendations for restaurants and we tried 3 of them, Chante Verde, Mediterráneo, and Kappa Sushi. They were all good. There are many activities to do in La Fortuna which is a short drive away. Beware of ants and do not keep any food/trash out. The bedrooms were air conditioned which was really nice for sleeping. We had power outages several times during our stay which seems to be quite common in Costa Rica so I would recommend flashlights. Using the Waze app was helpful in getting around as there are no addresses in Costa Rica. All in all a wonderful stay and very responsive host.

Peaceful view of volcano
This VRBO is in a new development area so it seems a bit isolated at first but there is a restaurant right up the way and really it's minutes drive from everything else. Was peaceful and secluded feeling with the gate and trees around the pool. Well equipped kitchen, working AC, great communication. Great little place for two or three couples the way the rooms are laid out!

Great little house. Solid kitchen, good ac in rooms. Cute little pool. Photos are accurate. One thing I didn’t realize from photos is that there are no doors between bedroom and bathroom for 2 of the rooms so if bathroom privacy is an issue be warned!

Fortuna Vacation
Central to Fortuna; we had a car which was very helpful. House is very private behind a big privacy fence. Host was very receptive and kind. We enjoyed the small pool daily-wonderfully refreshing-our group was Four adults..room for 6 adults (two kings and one queen)- three full baths, common room and fully equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, safe, all items needed for kitchen. Lots of light. No washer on site but laundry nearby. Would definitively stay again.

Great location for exploring La Fortuna & surrounding area
This property gives you a great base for seeing sites in La Fortuna & other locations in the area. Once we figured out an easier way to go (first way Waze sent us was down a dirt road that was washed out), getting into town was quick. We enjoyed the privacy created by the tall plantings & I liked sitting outside in the mornings enjoying coffee and watching all the birds. The pool was nice (although cold during our visit since it had been cloudy and rainy). The inside of the house was spotless-so clean, but the outdoor space around the pool needed to be swept. The house had most of what was needed and made a good base for us. However, in our opinion it could use a few updates/changes to make it more comfortable inside, especially for longer stays. The furniture in the living area is pretty uncomfortable for sitting to watch TV, in the bedrooms there isn't a bedside reading lamp, the lights on both sides are either on bright or off, there is nowhere to put clothes or enough hooks to hang towels in bathrooms. These things don't make it so we wouldn't recommend staying, but rather things that could make the house even better.

Great location with beautiful volcano view
Magnalia Home was a sparkling clean, charming modern home in a beautiful, safe location just 5 minutes drive from La Fortuna. A short walk takes you to a river where we went each morning to see a sloth and iguanas sunning in the trees. There were lots of birds as well. Just a block away is a wonderful little restaurant that serves the best empanadas! The house itself was comfortable and the bedrooms were well air conditioned with beautiful showers in the main house. The outdoor pool area was was a great place to gather for the six of us to relax & enjoy meals. There were only a couple of small inconveniences to note that would have made our stay a little more comfortable. There is no storage or places to hang clothing. Suitcases have to be on the floor. We also would have liked a "host book" with recommendations of things to do in the area and instructions for the home (like how to work the induction stove and the shower in the cabina). Nela, our host, was very responsive and answered any questions that we had in a timely manner. Overall, this home has everything you need for a wonderfully peaceful stay.

Beautiful secluded property
It was great to be near all of the activities in La Fortuna without being too close to all the chaos.This was a beautiful quiet street. There’s a small restaurant at the end of the road that is very good. Easy to walk to only about a block away and they will take good care of you. The pool was wonderful the property description was accurate. It was great watching the hummingbirds with your feet in the pool in the morning.
