The place was perfect for our family of 6! The home was clean and comfortable! My husband & I slept in the cabana while our 4 kids (ages 16,14,11 & 10) took the house. None of our kids were concerned about us not being in the house while we all slept and we all felt very safe! The location is perfect! We were busy all day so our kids mostly swam at night (which it gets dark early so it wasn’t really late). The host was very quick & patient with answering our questions!

Very quaint and private house. Spent the mornings drinking coffee and looking at the beautiful volcano. Easy communication with host for anything we needed. We even broke one of the keys and she was so helpful with the issue we caused. Sorry again. Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay near La Fortuna

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place felt safe, private, and was a short drive from La Fortuna and the Arenal area. The pool area was a really nice retreat to relax between activities and was so peaceful for listening to the rain.

Our stay at Magnalia was lovely. It was just enough space for our family of 5 to be comfortable. Our two girls (12 and 10) shared a room, and our son (14) stayed in the guest house. I was worried at first with him not being in the main house, but it was fine. He did complain about the shower (mold and bugs), so he ended up showering in the main house. We arrived at the property in the dark, so getting in was a little tricky. The lockbox is right beside a padlock, so we thought that was the lock to enter. It was not - it is further to the right to open the driveway. The Property Manager got back to me quickly, though, with a decoder ring for the key and lock colors. This was super helpful, and I wish I had had that before bothering her late at night! Upon entering the home, there was a strong stale smell. I assume this is because no one had stayed in a bit. We brought candles and room spray, which helped. Otherwise, the house was awesome. Very well stocked with what we needed. Our kids enjoyed having the pool to play in after our long days of excursions. I highly recommend Magnalia House.

Perfect retreat for couples!

Super cute, cozy, and great location! This place is even better in person. We were a group of three couples traveling together. All had our own bedroom and bathroom, each with a shower. Beds were comfortable and AC worked great in the rooms. We loved the pool, the outdoor seating with big patio table

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The host was very communicative and even offered local suggestions for food/activities, which was appreciated. However, we booked a house rather than a hotel based on the ability to have a kitchen/make meals at home and sadly this was not possible. We entered at night to a house with all the windows open and bugs inside the house. Given that we were in the jungle, we anticipated some bugs, but the house had toms of mosquitos and moths (likely from windows being open) and a significant number of small ants crawling all over the kitchen counter. We spent time cleaning the house but the ants continued to appear each AM/PM and ended up on our fresh food we had picked up at the local market - causing us to trash our food. Big waste of money. That paired with a lack of cooking utensils made having a kitchen a moot point. The place is cute and if you can deal with the potential of having lots of bugs in the house then it may be work out for you. It just wasn't how I wanted to spend my money.
