An Unforgettable Retreat in the Heart of Costa Rica
Our stay at this VRBO home in Casa Colibri, La Fortuna was simply unforgettable. Nestled in the lush, serene landscape of Costa Rica, this property offered us the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and natural beauty. From the moment we arrived, we felt immersed in the true spirit of Costa Rica. The home itself was immaculate, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated, capturing a warm and welcoming ambiance. One of the highlights was the outdoor area—lush gardens, a refreshing pool, and even a cozy sitting area where we enjoyed morning coffee with the sounds of nature all around. The host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable, with prompt communication and fantastic local recommendations. The location was ideal for exploring nearby attractions. From hiking to waterfalls to sampling incredible local cuisine, everything was easily accessible. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our Costa Rica adventure. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommend this home to anyone looking to experience Costa Rica at its finest.

La Fortuna Vacation
We spent 5 wonderful nights at Casa COLIBRÍ. The house is very nice and would highly recommend. We loved the nightly visit from host pup Lulu and her friends. Luis showed us Sloths on the property every day, saw more on Property than we did at Sloth Park. Had great ATV adventures, Sky Adventure with zipline and hanging bridges in the area.

Beautiful retreat!
We drove from Tamarindo up to La Fortuna and unfortunately, I did not open the documents before we left so I was having a really hard time finding any information about how to check in. Luckily the host was very quick to respond and helped us getting clear directions and even offered to guide us into the property. won

Costa Rican adventure getaway
Casa Colibri is an amazing place to stay. The host is very friendly, responsive, informative, & friendly. The house is very clean, well appointed, comfortable & has plenty of room. The bathrooms are exceptional. The access is easy at both the gate & the door. The pool was very clean & super enjoyable. The patio was a great place to hangout. The location was very private & secure. One of the gentlemen taking care of the place even took time to come get us and show us a sloth up in a nearby tree which was very cool to see & very thoughtful of him to take his time to help us enjoy the local wildlife. We definitely plan to stay here again & we would recommend it to everyone.

Wow! The house was wonderful!
We loved the property! One morning we were eating breakfast and we heard monkeys so we followed the sound coming from the woods in the side yars and we found the monkeys. The next morning the my son in law spoted a sloths in one of the trees on the property. We are a family of 8 and the house was very spacious and comfortable.

Stay near La Fortuna for adventure
Casa Colibri was very comfortable for our family of five with older teenagers. Everyone got their own room and bathroom! The kitchen and laundry were great for our family. We loved the pool and the groundskeeper helped us spot the sloth on the property. The drive into town is about 15 minutes on curvy, hilly roads. We stayed at the house as home base for exploring La Fortuna, Arenal National Park, Maquique Adventures rappelling and rafting, and Don Olivo chocolate tour. Great stay overall.

Quiet, beautiful pool, amazing views, close enough to La Fortuna for essentials, food, and activities yet far enough to relax. Take a walk around the property to see sloths and other wildlife.

Perfect for our trip!
Casa Colíbri is wonderful! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. We were celebrating my 40th birthday. The house is one of the nicest places I've ever stayed. The hosts went above and beyond to educate guests about the property and the area nearby. They even provided videos of how to do or use certain things, like the stove, which was actually really helpful. Someone came by every morning to clean the pool and one day, he spotted a sloth on the property and took us to see it!! We loved the various wildlife we could see around the house including the sloth, toucans, lizards, butterflies, and of course, hummingbirds (not called hummingbird house for nothing!). A couple heads up for people that are tourists: the first night, I arrived before my friend and I didn't have access to a car. I asked the hosts for help ordering delivery. They helped me order traditional Costa Rican Arroz con Pollo. It cost $50USD for 2 portions AND a $15USD delivery fee. The entire week, I never saw Arroz con Pollo cost more than $10USD so clearly the delivery was exceptionally inflated. Definitely rent a car, you will need it, even though we were pretty close to everything. There is also a rooster on property that will crow pretty much all night. Nights I was exhausted, I could sleep through it but, it did wake me up several times. It would not stop me from staying here again but, something to keep in mind. The house is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and equipped

Absolutely enchanting
Great hosts, beautiful property, just a wonderful experience throughout our stay. No bug problems, even though I'm sure in the tropical cloud forest they are present. The property is about a mile from La Fortuna proper. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and outdoor areas. Be sure to keep a lookout for wildlife, we saw sloths, iguanas, toucans, and scarlet macaws. I hope to visit Casa Colibrí again.

We loved our stay at Casa Colibri. The house was clean and had everything we needed for cooking our own meals. It was close enough to all of the adventures we went on yet far enough away from town that we had a true feel for the rural vibe. Louis showed us the resident sloth! We would definitely stay here again.

Exceeded My Expectations
Casa Colibrí exceeded my expectations. The house and property was much prettier than the pictures. The house suited are family of six. We saw toucans and macaws every day. The grounds keeper showed us a sloth on the property that totally made my girls trip. The house was gorgeous and looks brand new. The location is great because you're only a mile away from an awesome and clean super market (El Abuelo). We would definitely stay here again. I thought the pricing per person was an odd thing to have on a rental since I never came across this in my many rentals in the past. My parents decided to join us last minute which we had to increase our party size from 4 to 6, therefore had to pay extra for them. Regardless we would stay here again! Pura Vida!!!
