La Maison Blanche "Le Guanacaste": 2-bedroom apartment - Apartments for Rent in Manuel Antonio, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

A modern, well-appointed apartment with plenty of space for 4 adults. Balcony was at tree-top height meaning numerous birds and animals were hanging out right in front of us. A few minutes from various restaurants and shops, though you do need a car (or taxi) if going out.

Cool spot. Nice views. Would stay here again.

Nice and clean place but it was hard and rough hills road with rocks & gravel from the main street to the house. It better if you have a SUV or truck to climb up.

My stay was very pleasant. The access can be a bit tricky, but the instructions are clear and make it easy to find the place. I’d recommend updating the location on Waze or Google Maps, as the pin isn’t entirely accurate, although the written address is very precise. The place is perfect for relaxing, with a beautiful view. The apartment is in great condition and overall an excellent option for a getaway.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect. We enjoyed the views, sunsets and wildlife. The drive up to the building can be a challenge but was well it. Communication from the owners was great. No issues.

We had a great stay at Karl’s place. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Communication was easy and smooth, and the location was very convenient. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Our stay at this AirBnB was okay. Whilst the apt was clean, towels provided, and there was a nice view from the balcony, the communication was slower than I’ve experienced with other hosts, excessively automated and impersonal and the host didn’t remember certain aspects of our prior conversations eg check out time (leaving me in a panic). The apt is very hard to get to - roads are steep and dangerous (this wasn’t made aware to us) and we also didn’t realise there were a lot of steps to get to the apt (not ideal for my grandfather). It was an overall average to disappointing stay for me unfortunately.

I’m sorry to get such a poor review! The access (not dangerous but steep) and stairs are clearly mentioned in the listing. Also upon reservation we informed you that we don’t communicate via Airbnb after hours and to reach out directly if you needed anything. Finally you very insistently requested a late checkout, which we gave you despite inconveniencing the housekeeper. I think next time you should read the description and instructions!

Incredibile place definitely a great place to stay. Great host and the place was spotless

I spent 5 nights in the Guanacaste apartment at La Maison Blanche and thoroughly enjoyed it. The apartment was comfortable and well set up, the pool was cool and refreshing after daily hikes and activities, and the view was spectacular! You’re surrounded by nature. The host was very helpful in accommodating me when there was a hiccup during the reservation process, and he communicated throughout. The house is near the top of a steep hill (hence the breathtaking views), so driving up to the house (or down the hill) can be a little nerve-wracking in the rain, and isn’t for the faint of heart. Spring for a 4WD car rental. Overall, I highly recommend this little spot of heaven if you’re planning a stay in Manuel Antonio.

Super cozy! Stunning views, very comfortable king size bedrooms. A/c works perfectly. Close to town, but you will ideally need a car or a taxi since you’re up on the hills. 10/10 place

The place was great. Exactly like the picture. Beautiful, super quiet, and great view. I did not have any concerns at all with the road. I did have trouble finding the place, but this was a night after a VERY long travel day. The host was fantastic by getting on the phone and walking me through it. Highly recommend this AirBnB

Amazing views and countless wildlife sightings and visits.  Great place with a nice and refreshing pool.

Karl’s place was spectacular! Our bedroom was right off the porch overlooking the pool and diverse rainforest. I echo the words of a previous reviewer when I say, you never had to leave your place! The hill is steep but the higher the more amazing the views are! We had a 4x4 car but never used it, so while the hill is very steep, it’s not absolutely necessary. Almost every day we saw scarlet macaws, toucans, iguanas, hummingbirds birds, kinkajou (only after 10PM), and a variety of other birds and critters right from our balcony. The biodiversity of Costs Rica and this location are absolutely phenomenal! There was some light construction at near by homes but again it didn’t bother us. Tips: washer only available on property. Use key on key chain to open the door. While it is very hot outside some clothes seem to dry better inside in AC on drying rack. Floor is all tile even on deck so it’s VERY slippery. I would highly recommend drying feet after pool. Enjoy this beautiful home

We liked the place a lot! Clean, beautiful, spacious... great views, good location. Nice little swimming pool. Everyone talks about that steep entry road, but if you've been driving in central CR, Monteverde, honestly it's nothing difficult. Electricity died on us one day, but no fault of Kents and they were super responsive in fixing. Check out all the nearby beaches recommend in the welcome catalogue, especially the two smaller/free-access ones are good!

We had the best time ever  in this apartment. Really spacious for 4 people.  Isobel was really helpful and minor issues were solved quickly. Being high up  in the tree tops was lovely  and we had monkeys, parrots, tucans, iguanas, hawks, hummingbirds all visit over the time we were there. The pool came into its own; very refreshing and kept nicely clean. The road up to the apartment is steep and long and bumpy but we found it fine with a 4 x 4 car. The construction of the property nearby was still underway but was not intrusive and looks like it will be finished soon. It was a brilliant home base for the four of us, halfway between Manuel Antonio and Quepos.  We have taken away very fond memories of our 10 days  there. I would highly recommend this apartment with a 4 x 4 vehicle to traverse the road..

This is the second time staying at one of the properties. The location is ideal for those who want the beauty and natural fauna that the area has to offer with a short jaunt down the mountain for great restaurants and local adventures. Without a doubt you we’ll be back and we’d highly recommend.

Such a beautiful place! We had a great stay! They were always so friendly and their place is surrounded by animals like monkeys and macaws! Thank you Kent and Isabel for making our stay better!

Very modern and clean apartment with a hilltop location and nice views.  I knew what I was getting into because the description said it was up a steep road, but it still got to me how difficult it was to climb.  If you're not used to driving an off-road vehicle up a steep climb, beware of how you'll get to this place, especially in the rain and at night.  The interior was nice and modern, although some details were missing.  For example the main bathroom has no towel hangers or hooks.  We also let Karl know that the light in the shower was out, but it was never fixed during our stay.  Small inconvenience, but would have appreciated the responsiveness. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Manuel Antonio, but felt we could have been more comfortable, considering the price we paid.

The place was phenomenal. No problems at all. Highly recommend and would stay again. That said, getting to the place was a little bit of a challenge. The address in Google maps is incorrect and the place is actually La Maison Blance. In the getting their instructions, it’s worded to sound like the place is near La Maison Blance, but that’s not correct. It is this place. Additionally the check-in instructions did not include the apartment name so we had to try each of the apartments one by one to figure out which one was the right one. The host seems to be responsive during the business hours, but after hours when we were checking in, the host was not responsive over 30 minutes via calls and text messages. We had to figure out the check in ourselves with very unclear location and apartment instructions. There is a laundry room on the property, but there is no signage or clear instructions from the host even after asking. It’s on the left side and you have to use the key.

Great space, and conveniently located to reach Manuel Antonio easily. As others have mentioned there's a steep drive to reach the home, but it wasn't an issue for us.

We loved staying here!  It was so fun to sit on the deck and watch the birds and monkeys. I could have sat there all day!  The apartment was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here for 2 nights as two couples. As mentioned in previous reviews...you need a 4 wheel drive ideally as its a steep climb to the house. Easy to find though and close to Quepos for restaurants etc. The apartment is spacious and very clean. very comfortable! pool area was fab. There is currently building work across from the back of the building which makes mornings on the balcony a little noisy but it did not spoil the visit. we saw iguanas, Olingo's and a toucan on the trees behind the house plus macaws in the distance. Highly recommend this place and do the Titi canopy tour ziplining nearby!

The advertisement mentioned “visits from monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, and other animals are common.” You could hear birds in the distance, but other than one iguana, there were not any animals around. The nearby construction work was very noisy. The road and driveway were VERY steep with sharp turns - very dangerous, especially in the dark. When we arrived, only one curtain would move and it fell off right away. The pool and poolside area were covered with large leaves - very unwelcoming. The parking was confusing with no signs or instructions. The property is managed by a property manager who prefers to communicate via texting instead of Airbnb app, which goes against Airbnb policy. He said he doesn’t look at the Airbnb app outside of business hours. He was always slow to respond. The apartment was clean and well maintained and equipped.

Very beautiful place with an outstanding view. The pool is also very nice. The way up to the place can be a little tricky for some cars although everything is asphalt.

Beautiful place to observe parrots ,kinkajou, and other birds. Early construction in the morning, but quiet in the evening and beautiful sunset sitting on the terrace without mosquito and a pool as a bonus. Have an SUV because very bumpy path

Endroit magnifique pr observer les perroquets ,kinkajou, et autre oiseaux. Présence de construction de bonne heure le matin, mais tranquille le soir et beau couché de soleil assis sur la terrasse sans moustique et une piscine en prime. Avoir un vus car chemin très cahoteux

House & setting are gorgeous — the birds and critters in the trees in front of balcony made it hard to leave to go anywhere!  Toucans, Macaws and so many birds just at eye level.  Funny little kinkaju entertained us most nights with his antics in the trees.  We hit the pool every day, blissfully shaded in late afternoon.  Karl gave us several excellent suggestions and without his advice we would have missed a gem —Villa Vanilla tour!!

Karl was a great host. He was quick to answer any questions. He booked several excursions for us and arranged all transportation. The house is beautiful with a great view of the jungle and the ocean. We saw many animals from our balcony. Our guide in Manuel Antonio told us it is one of the best places to see Mc Caw in Costa Rica!!  We also saw monkeys, Jesus Christ Lizard, sloth, kinkajou and many more!  The road is steep going to the house. I would recommend a 4 wheel drive, but we made it several times in 2 wheel drive smelling burned clutches!!

Karl's home is very beautiful, the highlight definitely being the wall-to-wall sliding glass doors that open up onto the patio overlooking the pool and rainforest. We saw so much wildlife from the patio including macaws, hummingbirds, and iguanas. Karl gave us local recommendations for dinners which we did and they were great. We would definitely stay here again next time we're in Manuel Antonio.

We enjoyed a lot staying at Karl‘s place and Karl was a great host

Great place! Loved the pool and beds were perfect.

Karl went above and beyond for us during our stay.  The place is perfect and we could not have asked for a better host.  It was clean, comfortable and private and we saw wildlife just from sitting out on the balcony.  We would recommend to anyone.

Karl is a really great hotel. The apartment is very beautiful and super clean. Karl gives us a lot of good tourist information. The outdoor setting is splendid and the pool is super nice. Thank you Karl and see you soon.

Karl est vraiment un super hôtel. L'appartement est très beau et super propre. Karl nous donne beaucoup de bonnes informations touristiques. Le cadre extérieur est splendide et la piscine est super agréable. Merci Karl et à bientôt.

Home is very nice.  Host lives in another apartment in the building.

Karl was great! He kindly made sure we made it to his home safely on a rainy night. Excellent recommendations and easy to contact. Large windows with a beautiful view from the living area and front bedroom. Highly recommend!

Karl was an exceptional host and his place exceeded our expectations. The sunset view was spectacular and from the balcony we had sightings of Macaws daily, 2 types of monkeys, a kinkajou, maybe a sloth (we did see multiple one down the road), and eguanas of course! We were greeted with french pastry the morning after arrival, they helped us with our bags, explained whatever we needed and even helped push our car when I got it stuck (my fault). I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I would give ten stars if possible.

Very good place, I would think I'd come back again 👍👌🏻

Muy buen lugar pensaría en volver nuevamente 👍👌🏻

The view is amazing. The rooms are impeccable, as well as the house has everything you need and the pool is excellent.

La vista es increíble. Las habitaciones impecables, así como que la casa cuenta con todo lo necesario y la piscina excelente.

It was an incredible thing, a nice experience, excellent location, everything very close. An apartment in optimal condition with everything you need for a vacation with great comfort, LUXURY CLEANING, details that make you feel at home !! I will return because it is the ideal place to rest and also clear yourself. You can spend the day of enjoyment and return to rest with absolute silence with the sound of the animals in the background!! Very safe, I felt very comfortable. My review is a 10+ !!!

Fue algo increíble una linda experiencia excelente ubicación todo muy cerca. Un apartamento en óptimas condiciones con todo lo necesario para unas vacaciones con mucha comodidad, LIMPIEZA DE LUJO, detalles que te hacen sentir en el hogar !! Regresare porque es el lugar ideal para descansar y además despejarse puedes pasar el día de disfrute y regresar a descansar con silencio absoluto con sonido de fondo el de los animales !! Muy seguro me sentí muy a gusto. Mi evaluación un 10+ !!!

If you ever come to Manuel Antonio, this is the place to be. It is a little piece of heaven on earth. The location is great and the villa itself is awesome. Very clean, modern design and you have everything you need. The view is amazing and the pool was a bonus! The place is very easy to find and situated fairly close to the Manuel Antonio park etc. Me and my friends really enjoyed our stay here and we are definitely looking forward to our next stay here. Karl and Fred are really nice hosts, very hospitable and always available whenever you need them. Don't think twice.. Stay here when you are in Manuel Antonio.

We loved it! The apartment, the pool, the view, the welcome, the thoughtful advice of the hosts. Thank you we had a lovely stay !

Nous avons adoré ! Lappartment, la piscine, la vue, l'accueil, les conseils avisés des hotes. Merci nous avons passé un très bon séjour !

What a spot! It’s as beautiful and pristine as the pictures show. The views from the deck are heavenly and thoroughly enjoyed listening and watching nature every morning and evening. The flat is spotless and has everything you need. The pool hits the spot after a day of touring in the heat! The hosts are very attentive to any needs or info about the area. Would book here again if back to Manuel Antonio!

Karl was an outstanding host, we arrived a little bit late and he waited for us with patience. His place is beautiful, it has an awesome pool and the best view. The place is just about 5-10 minutes driving from the entrance of the park. I would definitely come back.

The place is very comfortable. Very well cared for. The location is suitable. The treatment of karl is very good. Recommended!

El lugar es muy confortable. Muy bien cuidado. La ubicación es apta. El trato de karl es muy bueno. Recomendada!

What you can expect from the accommodation: Super friendly hosts, willing to help you anytime, a super complete apartment, super cute, impeccable, modern, a beautiful pool with all the amenities, an incredible view, one of the rooms has a panoramic view and is INCREDIBLE! I have no complaints, everything is really impeccable. I would definitely go back.

Que se pueden esperar del alojamiento: Host súper amables, dispuestos a ayudarte en cualquier momento, un apartamento súper completo, súper lindo, impecable, moderno, una piscina preciosa, con todas las comodidades, una vista increíble, una de las habitaciones tiene vista panorámica y es INCREÍBLE! No tengo queja alguna, todo esta realmente impecable. Volvería sin duda alguna.

The apartment is very nice and very clean!  Has A wonderful view and very friendly hosts willing to help.  Very good option for spending a few days in Quepos Costa Rica.  But I recommend having a car to get to the apartment. 👌🏻

El departamento está muy lindo y muy limpio!  Tiene una vista maravillosa Y anfitriones muy amables dispuestos a ayudar.  Muy buena opción para pasar unos días en Quepos Costa Rica.  Pero si recomiendo tener auto para llegar al alojamiento. 👌🏻

Words cannot describe how gorgeous this place is to stay.  The hosts are friendly and provide a book with helpful hints.  The location is perfect between Manuel Antonio and Quepos.  Most of the breakfast places don't open until 7:30am.  If you're planning to visit the park, bring breakfast food with you to the apartment to make prior to leaving VERY early!

We've had hosts who were very attentive to our needs. They gave us a lot of information about the places to visit. Plus, this is an exceptional location. We had the monkey and Aras tours on our balcony. Cleanliness is impeccable. They even made us a great dessert. Thanks Karl and Fred.

Nous avons eu des hôtes tout à fait à l'écoute de nos besoins. Ils nous ont donné beaucoup d'informations sur les places à visiter. De plus, c'est un endroit exceptionnel. Nous avons eu la visites des singes et des Aras sur notre balcon. La propreté est irréprochable. Ils nous ont même préparé un excellent dessert. Merci Karl et Fred.

Karl and Fred's home was a fantastic location to get away from the crowded area of manuel antonio and just relax. They live on-site so any issue or question is immediately taken care of. We were able to sit on our patio above the tree tops and watch the monkey jumping from tree to tree, the macaws flying around as well as many iguanas on the hill side. In the late afternoon the sunset over the pacific was beautiful. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed to prepare many meals. The pool was very relaxing and we enjoyed spending many hours swimming and laying around. Although the home us up a steep, twisty road it is situated in between the town of Quepos and Manuel Antonio so we were within a 10 minute drive of many shops, restaurants, beach or park. Once we did the initial drive to their home (with Fred and Karl keeping watch for us from their patio and waving to us to guide us!) it was quite simple to find our way the rest of the stay. The home also had netflix and the wifi was very good and strong. Karl and Fred also let us make use of their laundry machine as we had been traveling/hiking for over a week prior to staying with them and this was very much needed. This was a great Air BnB .

We loved our stay at Karl's! We happily recommend it to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio area. Beautiful apartment with gorgeous mountain and ocean views. The place is very clean and well appointed with everything you need. Wonderful, friendly, and helpful hosts. It was bit tricky to find, but the hosts came and met us and showed us up to the apartment.

A very contemporary apartment in its architectural style and decor and equipment, excellent view and personalized attention from the hosts, I hope to return soon.

Un apartamento muy contemporáneo en su estilo arquitectónico y decoración e equipamiento, excelente vista y atención personalizada por parte de los anfitriones, espero volver pronto.

A beautiful new and modern apartment set in a beautiful, tranquil location. This is the perfect spot to come away and relax, we loved opening the sliding windows onto the balcony and laying in bed listening to all the birds and watching the Macaws do a fly by every morning. We hardly left the apartment, laying by the pool during the day and enjoying sunset drinks in the evening from our balcony. Its a short drive to the shops and restaurants, bit too long to walk but a fantastic location! Karl & Fred are extremely helpful, we will definitely be back!
