Take it easy at this unique, wonderful getaway. The wildlife is the star! Nestled on the edge of a protected nature preserve, Jungle Glory Home Abajo offers more wildlife experiences than a tour of the national park. Sit on the veranda by the pool and watch a variety of monkeys, birds, and other animals display their beauty and funny antics. This is a magical experience and a terrific location for participating in all the various beach activities and other nearby adventures! The space Jungle Glory Home Abajo's main house is open-concept, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the jungle. It has two large bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. The sliding doors open onto a veranda and pool with ample outdoor dining and lounging space. The main home also has a laundry room with a washer and dryer, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets. The third bedroom and bathroom are in the Casita, a stone's throw from the main house. The Casita is a fully contained studio with a well-equipped small kitchen, living area, and bathroom.

Other things to note Jungle Glory Home offers a unique experience that combines communing with nature and enjoying the culture of a traditional Costa Rican neighborhood in comfort. Jungle Glory Home Abajo is not a resort that caters to personal luxury. It's a lovely home, not a hotel. Power outages may occur (although they don't last long and are beyond our control), neighborhood dogs bark, roosters crow, monkeys howl, kids laugh, and occasionally play music. The property has a large water tank that pumps water to the three houses, so water shutdowns (a common municipality issue) are not a problem. The Jungle Glory Homes are on a walled-off 1.3-acre parcel bordering the backside of Manuel Antonio National Park. It's a stunning property—pure Magic! Each home is built on its quarter-acre lot and faces forward toward the jungle, offering great views and privacy. You won't share space with the other two houses and will have complete autonomy. Please remember that Costa Rica has a unique way of life. Visiting this precious country with a loving, open mind and heart will enhance your experience. It's Pura Vida (Simple or Pure Life) for a reason.

This home offers a unique blend of natural immersion and the charm of a traditional Costa Rican neighborhood, all in comfortable accommodations. It is important to note that Jungle Glory Home Abajo is a private residence, not a luxury resort or hotel.

We really enjoyed this beautiful place !!! We will definitely be back !

We had a great time during our stay! The property is beautiful with spacious and comfortable rooms. It is also well equipped with everything we could possibly need. It is located a few minutes' drive from the main road in a private neighborhood. Communication was excellent from both Andria and the property manager.

Really beautiful home and perfect location! Everything was  like described - we even saw the monkeys and tukans right from our window. we arrived early and could leave our luggage there to not take it with us when visiting Manuel Antonio. Very nice communication with both Andria and Chris. Thank you so much!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The property is exactly as described, had plenty of amenities (beach towels, washer and dryer, cookware) and was convenient to local restaurants and activities. It was a treat to sit outside by the pool every morning to watch toucans, parakeets, howler monkeys, woodpeckers, iguanas, and hummingbirds. We would definitely stay here again!

The property and house are beautiful, I particularly loved sitting out by the pool and watching the jungle in the morning with my coffee. It’s an easy drive to lots of restaurants and activities as well.

Beautiful place!  We loved the layout at cozy vibe. We enjoyed watching the wild life in the mornings as we drank coffee and afternoon dips in the pool. We saw Capuchin and Howler monkeys, Toucans, green parrots, iguanas, and a family of woodpeckers right out the back door.  It was close to town and to lots of great restaurants and all the activities.  Highly recommended!

After 2 trips to Costa Rica and 10 different areas (and airbnb/resort/hotels) explored, this was our favorite of them all. The home, the area, the views, the people, all of it. We had everything we needed, excellent hosts, and it just felt like home for us.

A slice of heaven! We loved our stay at the Jungle Glory home. The quiet, private, peaceful setting; the lovely pool; the constant jungle activity; the charming neighborhood. We watched the birds and monkeys for hours and cooled off in the pool. The houses were comfortable, spacious, and well appointed. Highly recommend the walk to Cerdo Feliz for breakfast. Chris and Andria were wonderful. Thank you!

Upfront, this was exactly as described. It was my wife and I along with our 2 friends. There was more than enough room. The a/c worked really well. The private pool was amazing. As in any experience, little things pop up and they were very responsive. This place was the perfect spot to do everything you would want in Cost Rica. We really enjoyed getting up and having coffee while watching monkeys,  tucans, parrots, agoti and iguanas.  We were even visited by a sloth. Our wives were very excited and we will be reserving again.

Andria’s place was incredible! We truly did not want to leave. We went to Costa Rica to celebrate my partner’s birthday and staying at this home really made it all the more special. Chris was super accommodating and helped me coordinate a birthday surprise for my partner, and I really appreciated his responsiveness and attentiveness. We also had the pleasure of meeting Andria who was very lovely and told us about all of the special qualities of the property. Andria’s place truly is remarkable, we felt so at peace surrounded by nature while still being close to nearby restaurants and activities. On our first day there, we were lucky enough to spot monkeys on the property, it was incredible! My partner and I cannot recommend this place enough. We hope to have the opportunity to stay at the Jungle Glory Homes during our next Costa Rica trip.

Andria is extraordinary and the place is unbelievable. Private, close from everything and everything in one place

We had such an incredible vacation and big part of it was this unit. The pool was perfect, the solitude and peaceful location could not be beat, beautiful interior and safety with the gate. We saw many birds with minimal effort and did manage to see both capuchin and howler monkeys which was a huge highlight for us all. We will be back as soon as possible! Additionally, Andria was an incredible host to our 2.5 yr old son. Her kindness wont be forgotten!

We LOVED our stay here! Amazing views and beautiful clean place! We enjoyed hearing the rainfall at night. La casita was a perfect additional experience. We saw monkeys in the backyard which was so fun to see on our first night. Highly recommend staying here. We wished we would’ve been able to stay longer!

The view of the jungle is amazing; the house and the little house are very comfortable and beautiful; an excellent place!

La vista hacia la jungla es increíble, la casa y la casita muy cómodas y bonitas, excelente lugar!

We really loved our stay here. The scenery is incredible and the pool was perfect for super hot days. It's nice and secluded, so you feel like you have the place to yourself. The casita in the back is so cool because it faces into the jungle. We had a few small things pop up while we were here and the host addressed quickly and was super nice about everything. We wished that we could have stayed longer.

Great getaway nice and clean place. Love the pool! We enjoyed looking for wildlife. Would stay there again.

We loved the home. It was secluded and felt very safe. The kids loved the pool and the  home was beautiful. We would definitely rent again.

This place was absolutely amazing! Definitely one of our favorite Airbnbs! The grounds were stunning and there is so much wild life. We saw monkeys, macaws, toucans, agouti, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, etc. The pool was perfect and we loved the floor to ceiling windows. Everything was clean and the location was perfect and central to everything we wanted to do. Can’t recommend this place enough and if we are lucky enough to come back to Costa Rica, we would pick this place again!

Our family loved this home. The casita was perfect for our older kids. The pool was so nice to cool off and the home was beautiful and well-maintained. The best part though, sitting on the back porch, drinking coffee and watching the birds, hummingbirds, butterflies and monkeys through the jungle. We would absolutely stay here again. Chris was incredibly helpful for our family as well.

Thank you so much! I love it when our guests discover the magic of this property. Please do come again. 🐒🙏🦋

We really enjoyed the Jungle Glory House! It suited the four of us and was close to many good restaurants and activities!

We had a pleasant stay at Andrea's place. The outbuilding that leads directly into the jungle offers incredible views when you wake up! 
The unit is very well equipped, clean and nicely decorated. 
Chris was responsive to requests and very friendly.

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez Andrea. La dépendance qui donne directement dans la jungle offre des réveils incroyables! Le logement est très bien équipé, propre et joliment décoré. Chris a été réactif aux demandes et très sympathique.

We had an incredible experience at this amazing house! The place is absolutely gorgeous, offering a private view of the jungle. We enjoyed our mornings with coffee while watching the monkeys play around. It’s definitely a place we would love to return to. Highly recommend!

We LOVED our stay at The Jungle Glory home! We stayed at two airbnbs during our stay and our kids (and us) much preferred this place! It was so peaceful and beautiful. We even spotted howler monkeys one morning which many say they can hear but never see! One note….there a detached part of the home that includes (two) of the sleeping spots. Note this in case you have small kids and all want to be in the same home. It didn’t matter for us with our older children. Highly recommend!

An absolutely exceptional stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt truly cared for. Our host went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and that we felt at home. The place was beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully prepared, with so many small details that made a difference. You can really feel the heart and dedication behind this hosting. Communication was warm, quick, and helpful at all times. It’s rare to meet a host who combines such professionalism with genuine kindness. Thank you for your hospitality and for making our stay so special. We would return anytime and recommend this place with all our heart!

What a Beautiful Home, the best we have had while touring Costa Rica😀 Exactly as discription, peaceful, comfortable …… just nothing negative to say. We all lived every minute we spent there❤️ Not forgetting Chris that couldn’t have done more for us in organising tours snd recommendations 🙏

Very serene and comfortable home with nature at your footstep and close to everything.

The view from the bedroom is spectacular. We saw monkeys and it felt like you were in the middle of the jungle. We hope to come back! It was a very luxurious stay! We had lots of extra towels, we loved the two king size beds and the kids loved the pool.

This is a little jungle paradise, truly a special place. The house is very comfortable and well appointed, sitting right on the edge of the Manuel Antonio park. Everything was exactly like on the pictures and description, including the nice pool. Andria and her staff were always responsive and  of great advice. The waterfall outing will remain a highlight of thia trip for sure! The house is about 10mn from Quepos but the surrounding area itself is actually nice and lively - with great restaurants (Mangata was our favorite!) This is a gem, I could not recommend it more.

We had the best time in Manuel Antonio and Jungle Glory homes was the ideal place to stay. It was central to so many tours, restaurants, the beach, and shopping. It was perfect for the 6 of us adults, and our boys loved staying in the smaller home. It was clean and safe, and Chris was super responsive and helpful anytime we had a question about the local area or needed a ride arranged from and to the airport. We loved sitting by the pool and watching the birds and monkeys. Great deal for the cost!

Excellent place to stay! Beautiful house and peaceful area.

Perfect location and private and loved seeing the monkey make sure to get up early they come out between 6:45- 7am !!

This home is truly spectacular, as are Andria and Chris. It was a special treat to see all of the surrounding wildlife in the backyard jungle that is adjacent to Manuel Antonio National Park. Andria and Chris shared the best resources for local food and activities - a guided tour of MA National Park and waterfall tour (with Chris) are a must! We had the pleasure of celebrating a birthday while we were there and Andria and Chris went above and beyond to help make it extra special. We would absolutely recommend this place and hope to be back again very soon for another visit - Pura Vida!

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb for our anniversary! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a romantic getaway. Andria was incredibly welcoming and made sure we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. We especially loved the cozy atmosphere and the thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. The location was perfect—close to great restaurants and jungle sights, but also peaceful and relaxing. Thank you Andria our anniversary unforgettable! We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful and memorable stay.

We enjoyed our stay! It was a great view! Very peaceful, very clean, and they had everything we needed! I highly recommend this place!

Beautiful house and great host. Very understanding of plan changes.

Our stay at jungle glory exceeded expectations! The home was beautiful and well stocked. The property was stunning, conveniently located and provided us unique interactions with wildlife we never could have anticipated! A truly memorable vacation thanks to Andria and Chris.

Andria’s jungle home truly exceeded all expectations.Between the main house and the casitas it was a perfect set up for the seven of us. They had all the amenities needed , thought of everything. Chris was super helpful in planning any excursions and recommending restaurants etc. The were tons of capuchin and spider monkey jumping around the trees everyday. The cute little agoutis were cruising around every day too. Also be expected to be visited by some very sweet neighborhood pups. All in all it was an awesome trip and I can’t wait to return the Jungle Glory Home!!

An absolutely beautiful location! We enjoyed quite a few wildlife encounters. Andria and Chris were both super helpful and responsive. The home is beautiful with amenities galore. Andria has thought of everything to keep you comfortable in the jungle.

Amazing location and property.  Very comfortable.  Family loved it.  Great host.  Thanks!

Andria’s place was perfect for our group of 5! The pool was refreshing during hot afternoons and we had so much fun seeing the wildlife in her backyard, which borders the national park. Washer and dryer came in really handy. The house was very centrally located, everything we wanted to see was within a 15-20 minute drive, but most were even quicker than that! Andria and the property manager kindly greeted us upon arrival and shared great tips for our stay. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again!!

Best Airbnb I have stayed at, the wildlife was amazing.

Our stay was absolutely amazing! The location is perfect — peaceful, surrounded by stunning wildlife, and close to everything we needed. The pool was a beautiful spot to relax after our adventures. Chris and Andria were incredible hosts, making sure everything was perfect throughout our stay. We truly had an unforgettable experience and can’t wait to come back soon. Highly recommend!

Wonderful spot in a fantastic neighborhood. It was great walking the streets day and night exploring The wildlife ALL around was breathtaking and so fun to watch! So many monkeys!

Great location. The unit was as described. The pool was immaculate—very relaxing atmosphere.   I would recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

Highlights were the beautiful pool and greenery in the backyard. We saw squirrel and howler monkeys in the trees! The house was comfortable, clean and inviting, and property manager gave us great suggestions for restaurants and an epic night tour. A/C works great and beds and showers excellent. I appreciated a place to do laundry, too. There is construction going on on the property —as well as nearby— so check with the host to see the status of that before booking.

What a wonderful place Jungle House is! We felt immersed in nature with howler monkeys right outside our door. Beautiful, peaceful and absolutely the pure vida we were needing. I only wished we had stayed longer!

Loved Andrias place and Manuel Antonio! We saw so many monkeys and different birds in the backyard and the house was a great location for everything we wanted to do in the area. The beds were super comfy and we had plenty of space.

Thank you, Kirsty! I'm glad the animals came out to entertain your lovely family! All the best to you and yours.

What a beautiful place! My family and I enjoyed the house, the pool, and the wildlife that entertained us. Secluded yet easy to find places to eat and activities to do. Chris and Ivan were so helpful scheduling activities for us. Thank you, thank you.

Beautiful, clean, comfortable, with jungle wildlife on the property; we highly recommend Andria’s place! The property manager gave clear instructions on getting to the house and met us in person on arrival, and remained responsive throughout our stay. Capuchins, squirrel monkeys, iguanas, and multiple bird species visited in the back of the house. We walked to the local restaurant and the neighborhood felt safe with friendly neighbors. Very close to Manual Antonio Park, beaches, restaurants, grocery stores. This was our favorite stay during our Costa Rica trip, highlights included relaxing in the pool, on the patio, watching and hearing wildlife, and the space/setup of the houses.

Thank you, Keely! Nothing brings me greater joy than having a family enjoy the house and property. Please come again. Pura Vida!

We loved the place. It was private and had amazing surroundings. It's right on the edge of the Manuel Antonio national park. Lots of amazing wildlife including monkeys and birds. The place is beautiful and we loved the location to all of the restaurants and entertainment at night. You'll need a car, but that was not big deal for us. We would definitely stay there again.

This is easily one of the best (if not the best) AirBnBs in Quepos! The place was absolutely amazing and exceeded all our expectations. Everything was thoughtfully designed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. Andria was an exceptional host—responsive, welcoming, and genuinely attentive to ensuring our stay was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Quepos!

Andria's place is really beautiful and right at the boarder to the Manuel Antonio Park. We had Monkeys in the trees and woke up in the morning with the sounds of the jungle - super unique. The house is really great, fully equipped and super clean.... and the beautiful Pool House that is also fully equipped a huge bonus which we really enjoyed. The communication with Andria and Chris worked well and they were very responsive and also provided tips for activities. We enjoyed the location of the house as we had full privacy at any point even located in a local community (we felt save at any point, everyone is super nice and helpful). We hope to be back one day.

I’m so glad I picked Jungle Glory!! Andria and Chris are like having a vacation mom and dad to make you feel so cared for when you are in a new place and don’t know what you might need or want. They’ve got you! They express such a consistent desire to help. Chris went out of his way every day to help with all our activities and needs, and he genuinely embodies the pura vida spirit! Andria’s property is so comfortable! The elements are beautiful, minimalist, and perfectly functional. Very important to me is that everything is well maintained and clean. Nothing is neglected! An absolute highlight are the capuchins that came to the yard in the morning! The grounds are equally cared for and beautiful. I enjoy the details and will share photos! I highly recommend staying here to fully enjoy Manuel Antonio and feel at home!

Our family of 5 (3 teens) had a great stay at Jungle Glory. Loved the space and Christopher had great recommendations for our tours. In a neighborhood 5 minute drive from most restaurants but easily take taxis ($5) and most tours come and pick you up. (We did not have a car and that was the way to go for us) . Definitely recommend!

The reviews for this place are already raving, but I have to add my own raves about Andria's jungle glory home. First, take every positive review and assume that it's even better than words can describe. It is beautiful, it is peaceful, it is surrounded by nature and the most wonderful little animals (we saw white faces monkeys, a toucan, macaws, lots of other birds, iguanas, and friendly neighborhood doggos), it is clean, it has a pool!, it is very close to both Manuel Antonio and Quepos town centers, close to Playa Espadilla and the national forest, and it is so well equipped you want for nothing when it comes to the little things that make a home comfortable. It is all of those things. But they go the extra mile by putting you in touch with Chris, the local property manager who is kind, friendly, full of information and suggestions, responsive to every request, and will even arrange adventures for you. If you can snag this property, do not delay!!

Thank you, Amanda. Your comments and pleasure with the home, casita, and property are music to my ears! All the best to you!

My family of five spent four nights here. We loved the location and enjoyed the time at home with all the birdlife and some wildlife.  The house is very well equipped as we ate most of our meals at home using the outdoor grill and indoor stove.

Jungle Glory is an oasis in Costa Rica! Andria was responsive to every question and communicated every detail needed to make our stay successful. Chris was terrific! Traveling to a country so far away and with so many options, I was unsure of my abilities to figure out exactly what would make our trip go from good to great. Chris was instrumental in planning our week. He took what our family wanted to do and had an entire itinerary ready for our week. Our week at Jungle Glory allowed our busy family to connect and make memories we will not forget. Thank you, Andria and Chris for an unforgettable week.

Andria’s home was one of the best air bnb’s we have stayed in.  Beautiful home with well manicured grounds and pool - the casita was perfect for our teenage boys to stay in.  Saw toucans, monkeys, and countless birds right out our back windows!  Everything was clean, updated and kitchen was well appointed. Chris (property manager) was also very attentive and completely accessible to us during our stay.  I would definitely recommend this property - it was absolutely perfect.

Thank you for the great review! We thoroughly enjoyed having you and your family. Pura Vida! Andria and Chris

Amazing stay! We were a family of 5 including one teenage boy. The size of the home, including the sweet little Casita in the backyard was the perfect space for us, with the teenager owning the Casita right away! The main home itself was pristine, very accommodating and so cozy. Andria had thought of EVERYTHING for this home, including a well-stocked laundry room with extra laundry soap and kitchen supplies. Chris, the property manager was amazing and full of information The home is tucked in the middle of an adorable traditional Costa Rican neighborhood, surrounded by local markets, restaurants and souvenir shops. Our favorite go-to restaurant was Erdo Feliz just up the road. The neighborhood dogs would welcome us home after each day out, which in my opinion added to the charm of the neighborhood. The property backs up to Manuel Antonio National Park. We heard Howler Monkeys and Macaws, spotted an iguana sunbathing in the yard, white-faced Capuchin monkeys, and beautiful butterflies.

Thank you for the lovely review! We enjoyed having you and your family stay! We hope to see you return someday. In the meantime, be well and continue to enjoy life to its fullest! Pura Vida!

This was exactly as described! Chris and Andria were so responsive! Always felt safe and at home. Saw so many animals and couldn’t have asked for a nicer place! I would give it a 10 if possible!

Wow. Is all I can say. No words to describe what a wonderful time we had. Andria and the property manager Chris greeted us on arrival. Chris ordered dinner to be delivered our first night and checked in with us multiple times throughout our stay helping us with cabs and transfers back to the airport. He offered to bring my son and his girlfriend to his favorite surfing place unfortunately we ran out of time. Andria is the definition of super host. Bringing us fresh fruit from the market, lending us her beach stuff for our beach day and lovely to chat with in the morning. The property, WOW, from the view ( we decided to give our son and his girlfriend the king size bed in the main house so we could wake up with the view of the forest. Monkeys, toucans and woodpecker almost every day right in our back yard. Pool was great to cool off after our adventures. House had everything we needed. We truly couldn’t have asked for more perfect place to rest our heads. We will be back❤️

This beautiful home was perfect for our stay. It is so peaceful, situated surrounded by jungle, with the sounds of birds and monkeys. The house was very clean and extremely well appointed, we had everything we needed, including plenty of beach towels, beach chairs and a couple of boogie boards. Chris met us on check in and explained the house and area. He also messaged with me in advance and helped us set up a tour of the National Park with an amazing guide. He was very responsive to my questions. We had plenty of space for our party of 5, including two teenagers who loved the casita! The area is fantastic with a small market very close by and beaches and restaurants, as well as the National Park, less than 10 minutes away. We got to meet Andria as well, who was lovely. Very highly recommend - we would definitely stay here again.

Amazing setting backing up to the jungle. My kids spent hours in the pool. This location was really hot so having a pool was handy. Air conditioning works well. Chris the property manager was very friendly and responsive. Andria happened to be in town during our stay and greeted us upon arrival and brought us fruit. Definitely recommend jungle glory home

Andria’s house was very clean and neat.  Very nice pool and view of the jungle.  Lots of birds and friendly neighbor dog.  Just the right size for what we needed.  Concierge was responsive. Close to local things to do and eat and to beaches. Definitely recommend a SUV.  Enjoyed our stay!!

Chris is responsive and conscientious. He is a great surf instructor. The house is quaint and tidy. It is well equipped for guests. The jungle abuts the home and is active with wildlife. The not so good - Andria fails to note she is remodeling another house on property. The construction is exterior and a stones throw, 6 days a week beginning at 7:15-4pm. The noise is persistent throughout the day and makes hanging outside less pleasant. The noise is audible both inside and outside. The gate is open with contractors coming and going throughout the day. We were not aware when we rented. We did not have problems with the neighbors - however, the area is distressed and felt a bit sketchy; I skipped my runs. Neighboring houses have bars on the windows, people loitering in the street (some appear to be on substances), strays, trash, noise - we were taken aback and didn’t feel “traditional” CR neighborhood was an adequate description. Landscapers showed at 6:15am our last day.

Hello Heather, Let me start by saying I'm sorry for the construction noise at the top of the property. Unfortunately, like most construction, the project was delayed by over six months and should have been completed before occupancy at Jungle Glory Home. I was told the work would be finished every week, but it wasn't. It's easier to give guests a heads-up when you know yourself. Thank goodness the work is finally done. I also apologize for the gardener arriving so early on your check-out day. Due to the popularity of the property, we have many same-day turnovers, and we squeeze in the groundskeeping where we can without too much disturbance. It appears it was a perfect storm for noise; however, I did offer you a full refund and help to relocate when your first complaint was sent a few hours after your arrival. That said, I'd like to make it perfectly clear for anyone who reads your review about the neighborhood. Jungle Glory Home is located in a traditional residential neighborhood. In my humble opinion, it is not sketchy or unsafe, which is why you did not have any problems with the neighbors. I'm 63, female, single, and stay in my Jungle Glory home for 3 to 4 months out of the year alone. The neighbors are kind, generous, and lovely. Those strays you mention belong to my neighbors and come by for love...which the 30 other parties of guests who have stayed at the place enjoyed. As for your comment about bars on the windows, most homes in Costa Rica have them on the windows. This does not mean the neighborhood is sketchy. I've personally never seen any drug use by my neighbors. Let's address the comment about people loitering on the streets. Yes! Absolutely, although I wouldn't call it loitering. Sitting on stoops, kids out playing, men sharing a few beers, music playing, dogs barking, roosters crowing, and people laughing is called a neighborhood. Most people don't have air conditioning and spend much of the evening outside socializing - it's the culture and wonderful. My particular neighborhood is filled with good, honest, mostly local Costa Rican people who would not do harm. So, with that defense of the neighbors I've grown to love with an open heart, I will hold onto my 30 other 5-star reviews and their appreciation of the beauty and location offered at Jungle Glory Home. On a final note, I'm very happy you enjoyed the three days my property manager, Chris, spent teaching your kids how to surf. I know he did his best to show your family a good time. Pura Vida!

This Airbnb is spectacular!! 10/10. Easily one of the best places I've ever stayed at. As others have said, there is more wildlife to be seen from the backyard than anywhere else we visited in Costa Rica. It made the Manuel Antonio National Park seem boring. It was a well equipped home, very comfortable, and beautiful surroundings. The pool was so nice to come home to and relax at during the hot afternoons.

We had a pleasant stay at the Jungle Glory Home. The road to the property is very winding, but it's definitely worth it. The home itself is an activity. Every morning, different monkey families visited the trees near the house. We saw several animals and birds including howler monkeys, capuchins, squirrel monkeys, toucans, macaws. When we arrived, we were greeted by Chris who was very kind during our stay. The house was incredibly clean and very well-equipped. There were several amenities and surpluses in reserve. I highly recommend a stay at the Jungle Glory Home!

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à la Jungle Glory Home. La route pour accéder à la propriété est très sinueuse, mais le trajet en vaut définitivement la peine. La maison en soi est une activité. À tous les matins, différentes familles de singes visitaient les arbres près de la maison. Nous avons vu plusieurs animaux et oiseaux dont des singes hurleurs, des capucins, des singes écureuils, des toucans, des aras. À notre arrivée, nous avons été accueilli par Chris qui a été d’une grande gentillesse lors de notre séjour. La maison était incroyablement propre et très bien équipée. Il y avait plusieurs commodités et des surplus en réserve. Je vous recommande fortement un séjour à la Jungle Glory Home!

We really enjoyed our stay at Jungle Glory. A great location right next to the jungle but with modern conveniences in a pleasant neighbourhood.  The howler monkeys were our alarm clock each morning and we loved watching the woodpeckers and a variety of other wildlife from the patio. The bar nearby does good food and is walkable. There are some great places to eat nearby recommended by Andrea.

We had a great time at Andria's place.   Since the house and casita abut the national park, we saw lots of wildlife from the backyard - perhaps even more than we saw at the national park itself!   The house is very clean and spacious, with lots of windows for viewing outside, and is conveniently located for driving anywhere in the Manuel Antonio area.  The property manager Chris was very responsive to questions and gave great local recommendations.  Our kids really enjoyed the backyard pool, especially for cooling off during the hot afternoons.  The house included some beach chairs and boogie boards, which were handy for beach excursions.

spectacular jungle view. lots of animals and birds

espectacular vista a la selva. muchos animales y aves

The house is beautiful and in great condition. We watched a parade of 30 monkeys pass through the property one morning, and a few stopped to grab a snack from the tree next to the pool. It is a short walk  into town for groceries and food/drinks and everyone is incredibly friendly.

What about the jungle glory home… after several dozen rentals from Airbnb, I can say that this one is the most beautiful of all. If you miss this piece of paradise, you're missing something. We were treated to beautiful monkey shows and toucans in the morning, it's just OMG. Throughout the day you can see different birds and butterflies. The pool was great, kids loved it. Also, the Airbnb is very well equipped, we didn't want for anything, there was even soap, shampoo, spices, coffee, etc. at our disposal. The one who takes care of the house , Chris, was very helpful and friendly. He advised us on activities and even booked for us. If one day we come back to the corner of Costa Rica, we are sure to book this place again! Drink our coffee while observing the monkeys, we miss it!

Que dire de la jungle glory home… après plusieurs dizaines de location de Airbnb, je peux affirmer que celui-ci est le plus beau de tous. Si vous passez à côté de ce coin de paradis vous manquez quelque chose. Nous avons eu droit à de beaux spectacles de singes et toucans le matin, c’est juste WOW. Tout au long de la journée on peut observer différents oiseaux et papillons. La piscine était super, les enfants ont adorés. Également, le Airbnb est très bien équipé, nous n’avons manqué de rien, il y avait même du savon, shampooing, épices, café, etc. à notre disposition. Celui qui s’occupe de la maison , Chris, était très serviable et sympathique. Il nous a conseillé des activités et même réservé pour nous. Si un jour nous revenons dans cd coin du Costa Rica, c’est sur que nous réservons de nouveau à cette endroit! Boire notre café en observant les singes ça nous manquer !

Thank you, Mathieu, We enjoyed having you and your beautiful family.

We had a wonderful stay at Jungle Glory Home. It has all the supplies and extra room because of the casita. It is in a peaceful setting with many animals to view. Andria was awesome throughout my entire experience from first booking until checking out today. She has a beautiful spirit and passion about the area. Most of all, she was always very prompt in responding to me and quick to answer any questions. We didn’t have a car so we took taxi’s to town and they were pretty reasonably priced. Chris, her manager, was very helpful, too. Thank you for a great place to stay, Andria, while we were in Quepos.

We fell in love with Jungle Glory the minute we set eyes on it and were very sad to leave today. The house was tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and modern, which is unusual for a property so close to the jungle (most were very basic lodge types in our experience). The kids really enjoyed the pool and our youngest child liked playing with the games Andria had left. We saw so much wildlife whilst staying at the property including capuchins, many different types of frogs and toads, scarlet macaws and toucans. We also loved making friends with the local dogs who were all beautifully natured and not at all intrusive, taking themselves off to the next stop once they'd had enough love and food from us. Our eldest loved having some independence in the casita too. Chris was also very welcoming and helped our boys to join a ATV tour; they said it was so much fun. Thank you guys, so much, for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back in the future! 🩷

We loved having your family here and hope to see you again!

Beautiful place!  The main casa and casita were ideally set up for wildlife viewing.  Binoculars and wildlife identification cards were very useful.  Nice pool for cooling off after hot days on the trails.  Saw/heard an abundance of wildlife from property: howler monkeys,  spider monkeys, agoutis, lizards, two kinds of toucans, woodpeckers, parakeets, etc.  Driveway can be negotiated with a sedan, but would recommend an SUV.  Would definitely recommend this place!

The place was stonishing and super clean. Everything they claimed was true, and we did see minkeys (wildlife) outside the window. Excellent AC, which is a must-have in such a humid place and, most of all, our host Chris (never met Andrea) was amazingly friendly and helpful. The only criticism I may have is the environment around the house, which wasn't the best, but the house beauty and comfort made up for it. Bottom line, I highly recommend this place, and you can't find a host as good as Chris.

This has to be the best Airbnb I have stayed at.  It had everything you needed and things you didn’t think you needed. The pool was amazing, the house was clean. Chris was amazing and seeing all those beautiful animals daily was amazing.  We will be back

Jungle Glory was wonderful! We had an amazing stay.  Everything was great — the place was as described, clean and spacious. Chris was responsive and greeted us when we arrived. He helped us make reservations for trips and even went out of his way to help find a lost item. The home was well appointed and had everything  we needed.  The wildlife spotting was excellent!

Beautiful - i saw toucans , monkeys , humming birds etc from the deck . Wake up early and you will see wildlife Nice place - road to getting there however not so great but this place is more than worth it apart from that minor detail

Beer Airbnb we have stayed at. Photos do not so it justice. The AC units in each room and living room worked great. This is a must with this heat. The pool was awesome for our little one to enjoy. We got morning visitors every day, monkeys, toucans, butterflies and more. You will need a vehicle/rental here to get around. Close by to Quepos and the activities/restaurants in Manuel Antonio. The sounds coming from the animals were amazing, all night. Chris was really nice and greeted us at check in. If you’re browsing, just do it! Can’t wait to return!

If you want to sit, relax and watch animals come to your backyard, this is the place to do it.  We saw so many animals countless toucans, monkeys, 3 red macaws, lizards, frogs, and so many butterflies.  We had a great time and I’d recommend staying here to see wildlife in a private setting. There are also many great places to eat within driving distance. You do need a car here in my opinion.

Beautiful place nestled on the edge of the jungle. Mornings were spent watching the monkeys in the trees and toucans flying above. Very quiet spot, definitely tucked away but the directions sent by a pin led us there. Very clean and loved having Netflix to watch on nights when we just wanted a movie and a sofa. Local shop up the road for basics, but best to have a rental car as it’s a little tucked away and very hilly! The little casita is gorgeous!

This home was so incredible. They had everything you need to stay there and take to the beach. I would sit outside and watch nature for hours in the morning. I will be coming back to stay here again. Best Airbnb I've stayed at in Costa Rica!

The main themes of our vacation in Costa Rica were exploring the jungles and the way of life in Latin America. Jungle Glory Home was a perfect place for that. The stylish contemporary house contrasted with the jungle and the colorful neighborhood in a sort of beauty and the beast fashion. Butterflies and hummingbirds circled flowers around the pool during the day. At night we were entertained by sometimes terrifying sounds of the jungle. Friendly neighborhood dogs visited us occasionally. Monkeys got progressively larger during our stay. First little squirrel monkeys raided the property, then capuchins, and at last large howler monkeys showed up. We had water and power outages probably caused by storms, but the services were quickly repaired. Wi-Fi outages disconnected kids from the phones and let us have fun with the flashlights, play games, tell stories, and enjoy beauty of the nature. It was an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Jungle Glory Home! Pura Vida.

Our stay at Jungle Glory was wonderful! The house is awesome-stocked with !everything you would need!! As was the casita-enjoyed the monkey show with coffee! Chris-the property manager was the absolute best!! He arranged our outings-and was with us for most of them!! He is so charming-our family really enjoyed our time with him!! Alli and John loved the surf lessons with him!! Such an unforgettable vacation!!!! Highly recommend!!! Brooks family!!! 6/14-6/22. 2023

We had a fantastic stay here! The place is very clean and matched the description. We got to see lots of wildlife in the surrounding trees. Chris was very helpful as well. Gave us great tips for the town and surrounding areas. Would definitely come back again!

If you want a true “getaway”, a place that takes you away from the noise of the world and allows you to truly disconnect, this is it! Each day, the jungle that is nestled behind the sweet, quaintly appointed, clean, and cozy house and it’s matching casita, provided a show that we’ll never forget. The only purpose for our cellphones was to take endless photos and videos of playful families of monkeys swinging in the trees, the delicate whistles of yellow beaked toucans, and the echoing calls of howler monkeys discussing the daily news through the lush green leaves. From start to finish, we felt well-cared for during our stay. Chris, the house manager was a gem. His warmth was deeply genuine and he made us feel at home as he showed us every corner of the house as well as describing the friendly neighborhood, both human and animal. Andria the host, was lovely and communicative. The house had everything we needed and the jungle had everything we didn’t know we needed. A+

The closest we had come to having a guaranteed good time in Costa Rica was to follow the advice of friends who had been there, that is until we stumbled upon Andria’s place and were put in touch with Chris, her property manager. No amount of advice could compare to the help provided for us from that point on. The place was beautiful and ideally situated for our intended purpose; which was to appreciate the natural beauty of the country. Chris arranged our expeditions into the local wilderness. He was kind, professional, considerate and insightful. He arranged the best of tour guides. If that weren’t enough, he pointed out the natural wonders that were now right in our own back yard, where we managed to view a sloth, howling monkeys, a tucán, bearded dragon, macaws and a variety of other beautiful birds. We cannot rave enough about this place and hope to visit again…it was hard to leave.

We had a great 3 night stay at Andria's place in  Manuel Antonio. This listing is actually for two separate buildings, the main house with two bedrooms and baths, kitchen and laundry PLUS a separate casita with its own bath and kitchenette. There is a small plunge pool between. The casita is right up on the jungle, as pictured, which made for some interesting wildlife watching. We saw tons of howler monkeys, toucans and even a few mccaws. The house is very well stocked with everything you could need for cooking and the beach. It's clear that the host has gone to great effort to make the house comfortable. Our only small complaint was the location. While centrally located, the house is in a typical/local Costa Rican neighborhood that may not feel as "safe" to some travelers (even though it probably is!) especially those who are used to resorts and/or travelling with kids, though the neighbors were always friendly and pleasant. Stay here if you like a little local flavor and wildlife!

Hi Alyssa, I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. And thanks for stressing that the property is in a traditional neighborhood. It's part of the charm and should not be mistaken for a resort environment. I certainly hope I made that clear in the property description. And thanks to your request, we now have a pack-and-play for small children. I appreciate this. All my best to you and your family.

Our family of six LOVED our stay! Exceptional communication and a great check-in process with the house manager started everything wonderfully. The home and casita were perfectly clean and decorated beautifully with super cozy beds and bedding. I woke up every morning and had my coffee while watching the rainforest put on a show - animals galore! My kids rotated who slept in the casita and had the best time waking up to the gorgeous views (complete with monkeys and toucans). Everything at the home was easy, easy to find, and beautiful. We are very grateful to the staff for taking extra good care of us before, during, and after our stay. Thank you, Andria and Jungle Glory home crew! What joy this experience brought!!!

Thank you, Christina! I'm overjoyed you had such a good experience. I took your advice and bought some walkie-talkies for the house and casita. What a fun way to communicate back and forth. You and your family are welcome back anytime. Chris said you were fantastic and loved your energy.

Andria’s house is a gem ! We spent a fantastic time there, the house is very spacious, with all the amenities you need, plenty of space for 3 couples, very comfortable beds and large bathrooms in each room. The cabin is breathtaking ! We felt like sleeping in the jungle, but watching it right from our bed ! From the pool right in front of the living room, we saw more animals than in the national park ! Tucans, monkeys, woodpeckers and parrots… Unlike many Airbnbs, we really felt like Andria gave us the keys of her home, enjoying a warm and generous place. Definitely the best Airbnb we rented in Costa Rica. Thank you Andria !

Thank you for the lovely review. I'm so pleased you found the property to your liking and hope you will return someday.

The first word that came to mind when we stepped into this house is WOW. It’s a modern new home that is absolutely stunning, immaculate, comfortable and functional. It has high sloped ceiling and a glass pane wall with multiple sliding doors throughout that makes it feel airy and spacious. It faces the national park so truly makes you feel one with nature. It is beautifully furnished and well equipped. The owner of the home thought of everything, down to small meaningful details. There is also a gorgeous casita steps away from the main house with a bathroom, kitchenette and a balcony. It truly feels like a retreat from the rest of the world as you stay on the deck, enjoying the beautiful pool while watching wildlife. Andria (owner) is incredibly helpful and responsive. Chris, the onsite manager is super awesome as well. It’s important  to have a 4x4 for steep Manuel Antonio roads, including the road that the house is on. Would highly recommend this place and hope to come back one day!
