Beautiful panoramic views
The house at Vistas del Lago is beautiful. It is roomy, spacious and very well equipped to hold the six of us. The views out the balcony were stunning with birds and flowers all around. One must have a good SUV vehicle to get in and out of the community and to be able to explore the lake, the Cloud Forest and everything else around. Potholes abound so be sure to give yourselves time to get places. This is a very special place - well worth the stay. Thank you Brad and Bev, your hospitality and kindness were appreciated.

Great views of lake and volcano
Great views, beautiful house ! This is a gated expat community. If you want the feel of authentic Costa Rica, maybe this isn't for you. It's a bit far away from most tourist activities, it is in close proximity of Tronadora by rough gravel road. The house and property was very nice with a friendly little community. There was a couple issues with our house. The toilet paper wasn't stocked, and the alarm had a code in it so it kept beeping through the night and we had to keep getting up to clear it. This seemed to resolve itself on its own in a couple days. The host was great and very helpfull when we needed anything. Overall a nice place to stay, but we might choose a different area next time.

Million Dollar View…and Community
Our family has rented many homes over the years and this was the best. It all starts with the developers Brad and Bev who had a vision of privacy, security, and nature. They could have built 4 times the number of homes in the community but decided that everyone should have their own space. You are not alone though. The community also has a shared centre where you can swim, workout and have a meal with other members of the community. The land Brad and Bev selected to build on is absolutely stunning. We woke up in the morning to one of the best views we have ever seen. A lush garden, lake and volcano are right outside the house. The view is also filled with a wide range of birds. I can’t tell you how many times we just looked out with a pair of binoculars to see what the sky would bring. Monkeys and toucans have made Vistas Del Lago their home as well. The house has everything you need for a family. It has 3 good-sized bedrooms with very comfortable beds. The kitchen has what you need if you decide you want to stay in and enjoy the views. The shower was even better than expected. Having our own washer and dryer is a huge plus. A fresh coat of paint would make a world of difference. There is a true community vibe. Residents and guests are all very nice and made us feel welcome. One of the community members offered to bring us to pickleball. When I said I didn’t have shoes or a racquet he followed up by saying it wasn’t a problem and would ask around to some friends for extra equipment. Other people in the community were also very helpful when it came to our questions on restaurants or activities. You are sure to make friends at Vistas Del Lago. Most of the activities are in La Fortuna which is about 1.5 hours away. Just keep that in mind when you are planning your vacation. Winding roads and steep hills are everywhere in the area. You do get used to it after a few days. A 4x4 is highly reccommended. Be sure to get a massage from Carolina. We have only had a few in our lives but she is the best and is surprisingly very affordable. Brad and Bev have built something very special here. I don’t think you will find its equal in Costa Rica. Vistas Del Lago has the unique ability to please both those who are looking for privacy and those who want to be with other people. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to Brad and Bev who made this vacation one we will never forget. We are already planning on when we can return to Vistas Del Lago!

Wonderful Lush Location
We had an amazing stay at this location. The views were fantastic and the space was laid out really well. The master had what we called a sitting shower vs regular, but we had guessed as much from the pictures. The breakfast that was available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays was very good and a great way to start the day. We saw so many hummingbirds we lost count and were visited by toucans as well right in the yard! It is conveniently located from the airport and easily accessible; however, if you plan to explore the area towards Monte Verde I would recommend 4-wheel drive or at least a vehicle higher off the ground with good traction (not necessary unless you are going to that area as the house itself is perfectly accessible). Bev was super friendly, helpful, and accessible for any needs we might have. There are a couple of little towns near with excellent little restaurants and a grocery store available. We highly recommend this location!!

The manager, Bev, greeted with a warm smile and that set the tone for our experience! She was always so helpful and kind. The house is amazing! The pictures don't do it justice. We have rented a lot of homes when traveling, but there are few that really give you that comfortable homey feeling. This one does that. Everything was there that we needed. If we were to come back to this area, we would definitely stay at this house.
