Investment property(booked over 38 weeks a year)/Second home/ Full-time residence- Arenal (also called 'Nuevo Arenal') is in a less visited area of Costa Rica, between the towns of Tilaran and La Fortuna. Ultra private yet within easy reach are the Hanging Bridges of Arenal, Lake Arenal (windsurfing, sailing, jet-skiing, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding), boat trips to Monteverde, white-water rafting, canopy tours and rappelling. The amenities of both towns, as well as the world-famous Tabacon Resort and Arenal Volcano, lie within less than 45 minutes easy drive. You have the best of both worlds - a secluded, beautiful and quiet paradise with all the amenities within easy reach. What is more, in Nuevo Arenal, we enjoy the perfect climate of 80ºF during the day and 65ºF in the evening, with a soft, refreshing breeze all day long. This beautiful detached bungalow sits in its own gated grounds, complete with gardened terraces, private pool, and sweeping views of tropical rain-forest jungle, Lake Arenal, and the hills of Monteverde beyond. You literally wake up to the sound of Howler Monkeys and Toucans every morning! You can linger in the pool, take a pleasant walk on the garden terraces or in the jungle beyond, or be more adventurous with the dozens of activities offered in La Fortuna, a short drive away. In the evening, you might try one of our many restaurants nearby (the world-class 'Gingerbread' restaurant is within easy reach, and also nearby is the famous 'Caballo Negro'), or enjoy a romantic dinner at home in the seclusion of your own private mahogany-furnished dining room, as you watch the sun setting over the lake. This private property is perfect for couples, of the three bedrooms, 2 are with King sized beds and one with Queen, each having its own self-contained bathroom. There is a half bath for guests. You have access to the world with free WiFi Internet, telephone, fax and photocopier, computer with printer, and SKY satellite TV with 2 flat screen televisions. There is also an impressive collection of DVD movies and an extensive library with books on local travel, cuisine, nature, and history. While many guests do enjoy all that the area has to offer, many choose to spend an entire week languishing by the pool, enjoying the beautiful gardens, lake/jungle view, local wildlife, bird-watching, hiking, horseback riding, or just sleeping in.
