2BR Home in Manuel Antonio

Yasunari

Excellent, 4 weeks ago

Amazing property! Great peaceful and safe place for the family. Host was very helpful and answered to every message stat. The place can use a self check in and check out process. Other than that highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in a clean and beautiful property. Thank you. Srinivas

This home is so romantic. Quality furniture, linens, and cookware made staying comfortable. Primary bedroom is large and elegant. The dark wood furniture makes it feel cozy. It was one of the most comfortable beds we’ve experienced while traveling actually. The grounds are lush, manicured, and private. We used the pool quite a bit. It’s the perfect size. A monkey troop of about 15-20 crossed the patio almost every morning usually between 6:30-8:00. The private waterfall was breathtaking. The housekeeper comes everyday if you like. She’s very sweet, and made us fresh juice from the star fruit tree outside. 10/10 would stay here again!!

What a fantastic place to stay!!! A short distance from Quepos/Manuel Antonio, and yet you feel like you're in a jungle paradise. The view over the Manuel Antonio National Park and the ocean is indescribable. Daily visits from monkeys and various birds can be observed from the infinity pool, terrace and balcony. You don't want to leave the house because it's just so beautiful there. Book it and see for yourself. You can't put it into words!

Casa Serena exceeded our expectations in every way! The location is secluded and homey. It was clean, updated and my family felt right at home. The housekeeper had made fresh Star fruit juice in the fridge, from the tree out front which was so yummy. My three boys loved the infinity pool & meeting all the monkeys! We had howler monkeys wake us up most mornings lol. And a couple times a day a family of white face monkeys would come by and play in the trees, even jump up on the roof and visit the pool for a sip and dip!! It was a dream come true because we'd read reviews saying there were monkeys. There were lots of squirrel monkeys everywhere as well, so cute!! The birding was unbelievable, I heard over 18 different birds on my Merlin Bird App. And I saw Scarlet McCaws, a Fiery-billed Aracari and a Lessons motmot! The host, Wai, was exceptional!! He was available, friendly and helpful every step of the way. If you're visiting Costa Rica, do NOT miss this slice of paradise. Pura Vida✌🏼

This was one of our favorite AirBnB stays of all time. You just can’t beat the endless pool hanging over the national park with frequent visits from monkeys. We had both capuchin and squirrel monkeys visit during our stay, the capuchins made several appearances. Our kids could have spent the entire vacation in the pool. The staff were excellent Wai gave us everything we needed, had fresh juice from the front garden ready upon arrival, answered our questions, and arranged a great in home chef experience for us, and Gera really took care of us on cleaning services.

We enjoyed our stay at Srinivas's home in Manuel Antonio. It is nearly surrounded by forest, and we saw some wildlife from the deck, primarily in the morning. The staff we encountered were kind. We had a couple hiccups during our stay. One of the air conditioners was broken when we arrived. It was "fixed" within a couple of hours but didn't function optimally during our stay. Our interaction with the concierge was sparse, and there were times when he didn't respond to our text messages. However, Srinivas is a top notch Airbnb host. He was very quick to respond to our messages when we couldn't reach the concierge, and he offered several reasonable remedies when it initially seemed like the air conditioner was completely broken. He also followed-up after our stay.

Host Response

We are sorry for the inconvenience that you all had to experience when you arrived. Within an hour of your arrival we were able to repair the AC so that it functioned as well as possible for the remainder of your stay and immediately after your check out we replaced the unit with a new one. We appreciate your understanding as unexpected issues do arise but the team's response is most important. As evidenced by our numerous reviews, we have a fantastic team to make your stay live up to expectations and pride ourselves on communicating effectively so will certainly take your feedback to heart. Thanks for your stay!

Loved our stay here and would gladly return! The concierge, Wai, was super helpful and kind. The tours he set up for us were perfect — zip lining with Canopy Safari, tubing H2O adventures, and Sukia night hike. Everyone was professional, fun, and we learned a lot! The house is big, comfortable, and the pool was a great size for our family of 4. There is a/c in the bedrooms and lots of places to hang out. Kitchen was well equipped and easy to use. The location feels remote but only a 5 min drive to the main road. You need a car and walking to anything is unlikely although it’s doable. If you rent a car, use one of the companies that have an office in MA. We wish we had done the airport shuttle and a local rental for ease. Enjoy!

Casa Serena was by far the nicest house I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was immaculate, comfortable, and well stocked. The backyard with pool was unbelievable - we spent all day out there one day because it was just so lovely. We saw Titi monkeys, capuchin monkeys, Scarlett macaws, frogs, and more right from the pool. Conveniently located within 10 minutes of the beach and Manuel Antonio park, and close to many great restaurants and shops. Cannot recommend more highly!

We had a magical stay at the Casa Serena. We saw more wildlife from our back porch than at the National Park. Howler monkeys leaped from branch to branch in the backyard; Two Toucans roosted in the top of the tree beside the house; and squirrel monkeys played on the top porch one early morning. The staff is helpful and kept the pool, the grounds and the house clean and beautiful. You could have your whole vacation just staying in—walking the private trail to the waterfall, swimming in the pool while watching monkeys and eating on one of the two outside tables identifying birds!
