About this property

Amazing Lake Arenal Home Near La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano

The exterior of our home inclues a 600 sq. foot covered wraparound porch where we gather, read and paint--even on rainy days (a real plus as we do get warm rain). The interior is all custom made by one of the local artisan contractors, including slotted bamboo kitchen cupboards and custom carved doors and accent pieces. We are also continously adding to our art collection which currently includes several colorful paintings. This truly feels like an inviting home base, from which you can explore the beauty and wonder of Costa Rica.
Sitting on our deck looking over the lake is like being on tropical safari. The area is a serene, magical place to rendezvous with nature. We are 40 minutes from La Fortuna (much closer than many lake homes) and even closer to zip lining, kayaking, horseback riding and gorgeous Volcano Arenal. The house has a spacious, open floor plan and wrap around deck with spectacular views. We enjoy the breeze off the lake, which provides comfort year round. We hope you come enjoy our slice of heaven!

Beautiful lake view property
The grounds and wrap around deck were wonderful. We spent most of the time on the deck. Steve was most helpful with his suggestions and knowledge of the area. The carved wood in the house was exceptional. The nights were a bit warm for us and the hill to get to the property was doable but difficult with a car. Location was great and all the restaurants were fabulous.

I highly recommend this property. The large covered tile patio overlooks gorgeous landscaping. The well-appointed main room has a very comfortable, double reclining, leather sofa. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped. The host, Steve, was very pleasant and helpful.

Good location
We stayed 4 nights here. Nice layout. Two bedrooms, bathroom, open kitchen/living/dining area. TV and Wi-Fi. Hot water all throughout. Stacked washer/dryer in unit. Private. Convenient. Stayed nice and cool. Full kitchen except dishwasher which was fine with us and as expected. Could have benefited from some additional kitchen items but we did fine. Like most of the houses we’ve stayed in on many island vacations, this house was in need of some basic repairs. The only one that was much concern to us was the door latches on the sliding glass doors from the master bedroom to the patio did not latch. We didn’t have any issues with theft but working latches would have added a little peace of mind. A nice addition would be a safe if some sort for valuables. In a country where everyone tells you not to leave any valuables in your car, it’s not terribly realistic to also tell folks to not leave any valuables on the house. Especially on an adventure vacation where water and rain are so ever present and computers, tablets, and smartphones are a way of life for so many.

Spectacular Yard & View
I loved everything about this stay. The caretaker met us at 8:00 at night to take us up to the house. The house was clean and well stocked. The temperature was perfect. The rain was soothing in the evening. The yard was clean and full of fruits. The property was beautiful. The porch creating a wonderful opportunity to view the lake & relax. The house was great! I recommend this property!!

About the host

Hosted by Nader Malek

Host profile image
We are a professional couple from the San Francisco Bay Area who traveled to Costa Rica in 2008 and fell in love with Lake Arenal. We finally completed our dream home on the lake in the Summer of 2017 and are now opening our doors to share what we have created with those who come to Lake Arenal to relax, getaway and explore this beautiful country. We welcome you with open arms- Bienvenidos a Casa Artistica!

Why they chose this property

Sitting on our deck looking over the lake is like being on tropical safari. It's a serene, magical place where you can rendezvous with nature. We are 40 minutes from La Fortuna, near zip lining, kayaking, horseback riding, hot springs and Volcano Arenal. We're also 10 minutes from the acclaimed Gingerbread Restaurant and the quaint town of Nuevo Arenal. The house has a spacious, open floor plan and wraparound deck with spectacular views. The breeze off the lake provides comfort year round.

What makes this property unique

You can bird watch easily from our deck--or stroll the property and enjoy the abundant fruit of our banana, papaya and lime trees (more fruit trees coming!) We are not directly in town, which is a definite plus as you will experience the raw beauty of the lake and surrounding areas. However, we are only about 1/8 th of a mile off the main road around the lake which makes travel in and out quite easy. We searched long and hard to find the ideal spot for our getaway and we are quite certain that we found it!
