Summary: We have been staying in the Pie in the Sky houses for years, and we have turned on some of our friends to the place. Spectacular views and great birding right from the porch! Augustín has always been great to work with, and the new owner, Ron, is very nice. We will return again!

Summary: The house was very clean, modern and spacious. The reviews on the beds are accurate: new mattresses are a must for this listing to continue to be successful given the squeaking of movement in bed. But the real jewel of this listing is the pool and hot tub and unparalleled views. It would be a wonderful property to rent out all three houses for a large group and even to hold a little wedding at.

Summary: Beautiful view and grounds. Inside needs a thorough cleaning, new matresses, new bedding, new towels and more large lamps.

Summary: Our communication with Augustin and team in advance of our visit were great and their advice and attention throughout our stay were amazing. The photos in the listing don’t do justice to this stunning house and grounds. It is a bit off the beaten path but convenient to many activities. We enjoyed tours of the volcano, La Fortuna waterfall, and the hanging bridges. Add to that a half day of fishing on Lake Arenal, a coffee and chocolate tour and in-house massages! We highly recommend this property!

Summary: I saw this Vrbo while planning a trip for my family ( 4 kids ages 14-22) and it was the reason I chose Costa Rica. It does not disappoint. You share the hot tub, pool and eagles nest with two other homes- but we never saw anyone else while we were there. There’s a great pizza place nearby- Howlers. We could share a couple of pizzas. From this home we did the la fortuna waterfall and Rio Celeste waterfall and did some kayaking on arenal lake ( super close by). We liked all of it. We also like el patio restaurant
