A true jungle paradise! Milena’s villa was perfect for our five night stay. Spotlessly clean, the villa appeared to be new or only recently built - perfect condition. Well equipped for cooking basic meals and plenty of space for a family of four. Air conditioning in both bedrooms worked very efficiently to cool whole flat, which was 100% necessary. Great location, in walking distance of supermarket, bus stop to Quepos and Manuel Antonio national park and a great range of places to eat, drink, and watch the sunset. A lovely pool that we all enjoyed and all topped off by visits from monkeys. Highly recommend - the pictures do not do this place justice and I’d definitely return again in future.

This apartment is fabulous!! The pictures do not do it justice. We saw soooo many animals from the balcony or just looking out of the windows. Probably 50 monkeys at least over the three days we were there. The pool area is lovely and a great place to spend the afternoon after returning from morning adventures. The location is perfect. The hosts are so nice. Our kids (6, 3, 1.5) had a ball. We would stay here again!

This is one of my favorite places I’ve stayed in Costa Rica. It is private, has a luxurious pool that was very rejuvenating, and a lovely tree scape presenting views of monkeys and birds. We felt safe here with our two kids, and enjoyed quiet evenings. Many thanks to these gracious hosts!

We really enjoyed this place. Every morning we watched squirrel monkeys go by, then the capuchin monkeys. The windows, balcony and trees made feel like you were privately in the rainforest. We enjoyed the pool after a hot walk through the Manuel Antonio National Park. Milena and Alberto were wonderful hosts, very friendly and responsive. The grocery store and the restaurants were all walkable. When you arrive, you are greeted by very friendly dogs. We would definitely recommend this place.

We loved staying here as a family as a base to explore Manuel Antonio National Park. We enjoyed a morning of squirrel monkeys one morning and white faced monkeys the next morning all from the comfort of the porch. The place was well equipped with everything we needed to feel right at home. Our car was secure and surroundings felt safe. We walked to he nearby Soda to eat each night and there's a market a short walk away as well. The swimming pool was a bonus! my kids loved cooling off after hiking/exploring in the pool. Albert was always available and was patient, kind, and helpful. I wouldn't change anything about our stay, other than it was too short! my children also loved the cats and dogs on the property. Highly recommend! especially to be away from the busyness of town but have access to everything we needed. it was quiet here at night.

Alberto and Milena were fabulous hosts. They communicated very well during the entire process. We had a chance to tour Manuel Antonio with their son who was a great guide. The household dogs made staying here even more special. They are wonderful additions to thw property and always so happy to see you each time you leave or arrive. We were safe and sound the entire visit. If you are visiting the Manuel Antonio area do not hesitate to book this great unit for your visit. You will not be disappointed. Watch for the monkeys and toucan that will visit the deck throughout the day. Thank you and Pura Vida!

Milena and Alberto are great hosts. Really charming and welcoming. The accommodation is very well located, quiet, with the possibility to park the car in their property. Everything is well maintained, clean and cozy. Nice pool, very nice to cool off in. The accommodation is very well equipped, very functional. A small balcony overlooks the garden behind where it is possible to see animals: monkeys, macaws, and other birds. We had an amazing stay at Milena and Alberto's. Very friendly.

Our family of 4 (parents, 2 kids) stayed for 3 nights and would have loved to have stayed for another night or two. The place was great, beaming with wildlife (saw a pack of monkeys on the roof) and had a nice pool area for the kids. Not too much, not too little. The dogs and cats on the property were super nice and the kids loved playing with them (so dis the parents). Only minor drawback was that the kitchen could use an oven and perhaps some new tools from time to time (we wanted to cook most days with the kids, but were a little limited due to amenities) Milena, Alberto and their son Felipe were super nice and welcoming, we would be Halle to come back in some years when the kids are older and can enjoy the full experience of Manual Antonio ❤️🦥

I can't say enough about how much we loved this place. Alberto set up his scope and showed us a sloth sleeping in one of the trees, as well as a toucan. We saw a parade of capuchin monkeys pass through the jungle corridor on three mornings, plus heard the howler monkeys each morning. The space was beautiful; restaurants and shops were within walking distance; the street was quiet and the pool was a great way to cool off. Apart from that, we loved chatting with Alberto - he made us feel so welcome. My son loved their animals (4 dogs and a cat) and we had a great night tour with their son Felipe. We wouldn't stay anywhere else if we were going to return to the area! My advice is to arrive in daylight if you can. The main road from Quepos centre is twisty and steep (like many roads in Costa Rica!)

Private 2bed/1bath rental house with pool and balcony on host families property. Lovely accommodating hosts with great recommendations. Friendly dogs and cats on site. Secure parking in a good convenient location to grocery store and restaurants. Washer and AC was a huge plus. We took advantage of the balcony to listen to jungle sounds and we saw tons of wildlife! Great experience and much quieter than main part of Manuel Antonio or in Quepos.

Casa Tabacon was beautiful, clean and in a great location. There were stores and places to eat just up the street. Manual Antonio Park was less than 10 minutes away. The jungle view off the balcony was our favorite. We saw many animals while sitting on the balcony. We felt very lucky to have the hosts share their beautiful Casa Tabacon with us!!!

This place is an absolute gem. We stayed with our two kids and we saw more wildlife from the balcony than we saw in the national park! We would wake at 5.30am just to watch the monkeys in the mango tree out front. Super clean, lovely pool, super hosts, great nearby supermarket and local restaurants. We felt so relaxed here. Thank you Antonio and Milena for a wonderful stay.

We had a great stay here! The apartment was plenty big for our family of four, the kitchen was equipped to cook meals, and the bathroom was modern and clean. We appreciated having a washing machine. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms had air conditioners, which was necessary in the heat. We loved the view from the back porch and saw a capuchin monkey a few times! We also saw toucans, macaws, and other birds. The pool was so nice and fun for our family to swim after a day of hiking. The host was great and helped us set up a catamaran tour which we loved! He also set up a guided tour of Manuel Antonio National Park with his son, and that was a great experience! His son is very knowledgeable and so friendly. Finding the house was easy, just make sure to let the host know when you'll be there because he needs to let you in and give you the keys. There is a great hamburger place just down the street that we loved, Santa Plancha. We enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend!

A beautiful place. I stay with my family and we had no complaints. The delicious pool, nothing more to ask them. Alberto is super friendly and attentive.
