Excellent communication: We ran out of propane for the hot stove and messaged the host. Within 30 minutes, someone replaced it.The property and home is well looked after, and is in a perfect location to La Fortuna (a few minute drive into the city). Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Home is spacious and comfortable. It had everything our family of 4 needed for our La Fourtuna vacation from 12/31/25-1/3/26. Air conditioning in bedrooms worked perfectly as did the laundry machines. The house is an easy drive in to La Fortuna and the grounds are beautiful! We very much enjoyed our stay and the host was very responsive. Highly recommend.

What a great home away from home! Had everything we needed and was away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area yet close enough for a quick drive. Within walking distance to a couple great restaurants. Host was very responsive with any issue we had. Loved sitting outside on the covered area whenever we could. Lots of birds to see and iguanas to watch. We even saw a couple howler monkeys close by a couple times.

Relaxing pool after a day of adventure!

This was the perfect location for our adventures in La Fortuna. We especially enjoyed the pool after a long day of white water rafting and canyoneering. The AC units in the bedrooms were freezing cold which kept us comfortable at night. All in all a very pleasant stay.

The house was very nice and met our needs. AC in the bedrooms cooled off the rooms quickly. We adjusted the temperatures upwards after the first night.Very natural La Fortuna "vibe". Secluded but yet close to the city and attractions. Everything was easy and as advertised. Thank you!Highly recommended!!

Great back yard

House is lovely and simple, with great back sitting area and good splash pool. The best part is the massive yard. We spent hours sitting and watching the song birds, toucans, humming birds, iguanas and monkeys. Not far from La Fortuna at all. We would definitely stay here again.

The property description is accurate. The river running behind the property and the yard are wonderful. Lots of birds and howler monkeys. Easy access to area activities. The property is not fancy but served our needs well. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces.

Peaceful Hideaway

La JeyDa Chalet was a great base for our stay in La Fortuna. The house was clean and the bedrooms were comfortable and had air conditioning. The yard is lovely but we did not have as much of a chance to use the pool or BBQ area as it rained for most of our stay. We did use the pool one evening and it was nice. The rocking chairs on the covered patio are nice as well. Overall the house was a great value and a convenient base for activities in La Fortuna.

Charming Place Just Outside of La Fortuna

We found everything that we needed on the lower level of the house (for only two of us, we did not need the upstairs). The king-size bed was comfortable. The air conditioning was fine when we needed it.

Great location

This rental has everything you need, but don’t expect fancy. I found everything to be clean, organized and available. I absolutely loved the location and the property. This place works best if you have a car rented. We explored the yard at night and found 3 species of frogs, one being the poisonous dart frog (in the bushes) lots of birds, advacado tree, lime tree, orchids everywhere. Mary’s BBQ is down the road and a MUST. Baldi Hot Springs also a must, just a few minute drive. The pool is small but works great for kids. Overall we loved the place. Great view of volcano. Felt very safe at the property.

Slothing around

We had an amazing time at La JayDa for the second part of our Costa Rican experience. This house and grounds are beautiful and enchanting. So much so that is was hard to leave for our excursions!! Enjoy the pool and the beauty of the grounds and the comfort of the bedrooms and well equipped kitchen. We took all of our meals outside with many wildlife visitors including monkies, a sloth and wonderful birds. I can not recommend coming to Costa Rica more and when you do definetly stay at La JayDa!!

Lovely home and great location

We spent three nights and had a great time. The house is just as described in the listing. The host was very responsive. The location is right on the road into La Fortuna so everything was very convenient. There is a lovely creek just beyond the back yard providing the chance of spotting birds or even monkeys. Mary's Place is less than a half-kilometer up the road and a great place for happy hour and/or a meal. For fun while you're in the area, we highly recommend a whitewater rafting trip with Arenal Rafting - one of the highlights of our trip!
