Kirsten was a great host. She lives nearby, and responded very quickly to any questions that came up. Casa Esmeralda is a lovely and convenient property, with a an unsurpassed view of Lake Arenal!

There were 3 of us at Casa Esmeralda for 2 weeks and we enjoyed our stay. Kirsten was always available for our questions and requests. She also put us in touch with the right people for help with access to National Parks and tours which we greatly appreciated. We had trouble finding the place even with very detailed instructions from Kirsten. The view when you arrive is just as lovely as the pictures and the veranda was a favorite place to chill out or watch the amazing birds around the property. It was a highlight to have the Toucan's and Montezumas in the neighborhood. The view is also wonderful from the kitchen area. The kitchen is as described and was a bit challenging for us to cook in. The property is west of Nuevo Arenal a bit and about an hours drive to La Fortuna. Kirsten provided good recommendations which were helpful. Go the Gingerbread Hotel for late lunch or dinner! Costa Rica is beautiful with lovely people, enjoy!

It was difficult to leave to explore Costa Rica since the home is so inviting and the view was amazing. There definitely is a bird show every morning and evening. I had everything I needed and was very comfortable.

Stunning views! Kirsten was a wonderful host - easy communication, helpful details, while being hands off. We knew she was close by, so if we needed anything she was there, but we never actually met in person because we never needed to. Which was great!
