Contemporary Fully Air-Conditioned Huge Views - Houses for Rent in Quepos, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Fantastic/5 stars: The stay surpassed our expectations. The house was spacious and well furnished. The views/locations/animals all around were outstanding. One of our most memorable stays.

We had an amazing time at Casa Querencia!  The view was spectacular and we had everything we needed. We definitely enjoyed the pool table and pool. Too bad the monekys didn't visit us during our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious. The views are phenomenal. Practically every room has a balcony that overlooks the rainforest. The staff helped coordinate and book our excursions and provided good recommendations. Our concierge Sidney and Carlos was friendly and very responsive. Paola kept the house pristine. If you’re looking for a relaxing place to chill with a group this is the place.

Beautiful home and an incredible immersive experience in the heart of Manuel Antonio! Our party of 10 was very comfortable. There were so many quiet places to read or enjoy the wildlife. The pool was refreshing after a day of sight seeing and the kitchen was well equipped to cook for our large group. The housekeeping staff was top notch and a beloved addition after long hot days on the beach. This is our second visit to Costa Rica and the wildlife experience at this house was incredible. Monkeys (both titi and capuchin) swung by each day. Birds, iguanas, frogs, and the occasional agouti would wander or fly by. Sunrises were breathtaking we had the sound of the jungle to lull us to sleep. Don’t hesitate to stay here. Pure magic!

Thank you so much for the great review. Hope to see you again soon!

I stayed at this home with 7 others while organizing excursions in Costa Rica, and Casa Querencia left us speechless. The cleanliness was top-notch, and check-in was easy. Carlos gave us a tour upon arrival, showing us where to find towels and rooms. His English is excellent, and he’s very friendly and funny, explaining every detail of the house. All the travelers were thrilled—just 10 minutes in, everyone was calling their families to show them the house! It’s spacious, beautiful, and elegant—the pictures don’t do it justice. All rooms have AC, while common areas don’t yet, but it was a great way to enjoy Costa Rica’s tropical climate. We were told AC will be added soon. We hired a chef through them and couldn’t be happier. Choko made amazing food, fresh fruits, and natural juices, even offering a gluten-free menu. We’re so happy with our stay that we’d definitely contact them again for future trips

Thank you for the great review. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope to see you again soon.

This was a spectacular place to stay. We loved the location on the rainforest, and we were lucky enough to have 2 visits from Capuchin monkeys during our 3 night stay. We also enjoyed hearing the howler monkeys one evening at dusk! The place was fully equipped for the cooking we did. We loved the private balconies that we each could enjoy! As other reviews mentioned, there is no Air conditioning in the open kitchen and living room area. We spent our evenings together in the air conditioned game room. (If I had one suggestion, it would be that the seating in there would be better for lounging for an evening movie.) Though this house provides plenty of room for several people, I would only recommend this place for older children and adults. You must be in shape if you want to be able to go up and down the steps for the various levels. With the multiples sets of open staircases, I would be concerned if I had young children or seniors who needed help. (The photos show the stairs.)

Thank you for the feed back, we will be speaking to the owner to see if we can improve this.

Perfect place for our large group.  Would definitely stay here again.

The house is absolutely stunning! We were a group of 8 and everyone had lots of privacy with various outdoor sitting places and hammocks. Each room had a private bathroom and the AC was quite a d cold! The game room with the pool table was our nightly get together space. Our cleaning ladies were absolutely fantastic, they did our laundry and provided each day enough towels. We loved the kitchen area with the huge wooden table and all dishes and pots were super clean. This house is absolutely luxurious and the photos you see on Airbnb does not reflect how beautiful the decor and interior is. Our host Carlos was always available when needed. He organized a Chef for us one night and the dinner was delicious! We definitely recommend Fernando’s house and hope we can return soon!

Our stay at Casa Querencia was incredible! Our group comprised two families with four adults and five teenage children. Carlos, our host, was extremely responsive - both before and during our trip. He answered any and all questions and gave great recommendations on where to go, eat, etc. The house had more than enough space and was beautiful and clean. The main living/common areas do get warm without central AC, but this is just part of the experience. The pool and bedrooms were a great escape when we needed to cool down. We spent every morning watching the sunrise from the balcony off the kitchen, listening to birds and looking for wildlife. We were visited by monkeys during the day multiple times and they put on quite a show. The adventures that we arranged through our concierge all turned out to be amazing as well - we had fun, learned a ton, and always felt safe. Highly recommend this house and experience!

Awesome house! Everything was just the way it was described. Close to restaurants, shops, and beach. Definitely recommend !!

Our stay here was simply perfect. The house was amazing, every room felt like a great choice. The pool surrounded by jungle proved to be the perfect Costa Rican get away. Carlos our main contact was friendly, helpful and super responsive via text. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

This house was near perfect for our group! Our host, Carlos, was easy to communicate with and quick to respond! The house was beautiful and the maid service and laundry option was a major plus.

Outstanding Villa! Amazing views! Saw monkeys, macaws and great views of the skies! We hired a private chef for breakfasts and dinner every day and it was so divine! Carlos our concierge was helpful in planning all activities! The housekeeper Sarai keep the Villa immaculate and provided laundry services! I would highly recommend to any group coming to Manuel Antonio!

gorgeous home with beautiful jungle surrounding it! having a pool table was fun,  only downside house main is too hot too enjoy without AC

Beautiful place, wonderful staff, fantastic views.  Located very conveniently to restaurants and excurstions.

Amazing house and excellent service during our stay. Would highly recommend this property!

This house is spectacular! The pictures do NOT do the house justice. David,Gary, chef Jorge and Naime are so attentive, helpful, and professional. They helped us plan our whole itinerary for the stay. We were able to contact them 24/7! The chefs food is phenomenal! Chef Jorge and Naime really made us feel at home and they made sure our menu was going to keep us full while we were out on our excursions. The food was better than the restaurant we went to there!  I recommended this house to everybody!

We just had an incredible week in Manuel Antonio and our stay at the house was equally impressive.  I would say the photos don't do the house justice -- it is truly gorgeous, spacious (we had more than enough room for our party of 10) clean, and perfectly located with insane views.   The kitchen was fairly well equipped and the pool was excellent.   We saw tons of birds and monkeys from (and on) the deck each day.    Every single question was answered immediately and David helped us book every activity (including surf lessons, restaurants,  zip lines, massages) that we had in mind, some very last minute.

This house is incredible! It’s as good as it looks in pictures. Amazing view, great outdoor spaces on every floor. Huge living room couch where we all hung out together. They also offer a concierge service to organize excursions for you, which we used! Daily cleaning service was fantastic. Some of our family likes birdwatching and they saw some incredible things from the house. Only cons were that some bathrooms were missing supplies like shampoo, soap, conditioner. The kitchen is also missing some cooking essentials like a roasting pan, and there was only one pot, which made it difficult to cook for our group of 6.

Beautiful home!! I traveled to Costa Rica for the first time for my birthday with my friends & this place was everything I imagined it to be plus more. The reviews were 100% right! The pictures do not do it justice. Its even better in person. I would absolutely rent this place again! The only bad thing I could say were the bugs, but it was expected giving the location. Definitely recommend leaving the doors closed as much as possible. Aside from that, I'm happy we booked!!! Gary, the concierge was also very helpful.

Absolute best experience with an airbnb ever!. Gary was an exceptional host and communicated regularly. He also took care of all our travel needs and excursions. The chef was amazing and super friendly! 100 stars! Definitely book a stay here 💫

The house was simply amazing. Breathtaking views, spacious, equipped with almost everything you need. The monkeys greeted us almost every morning. We did have a few unexpected and uninvited guest that scared the living daylights out of us. We encountered a lot of rain, which brought out a lot of creatures. There was a tarantula and a large spider that showed up without invitation. Keep in mind, the house is located in the jungles, so it’s not out of the norm to see those creatures. We were also greeted with chirping birds and beautiful butterflies. On our last night, there were two cute little frogs in the pool. The experience was great. Gary……oh Gary was amazing. He was available every time I reached out to him, which was everyday, lol. He is so knowledgeable and willing to help with setting up excursions, helping with food delivery, covid testing, transportation, etc. I really appreciate Gary and all that he did for us. Overall, the house is spacious. We were a party of 14 women and we had more than enough space. Our experience was AMAZING and so was GARY!

The entire stay was 1000% worth it! From the communication with booking with Fernando, to the concierge service with Gary... I 10 out of 10 recommend!  The house is absolutely stunning, though the photos in the listing look amazing walking into the house was absolutely breath taking. The house is literally in the jungle. We were greeted daily by 8 macaws, moneys, and 1 sloth. If you're into nature, this house is certainly for you! The house is also short taxi rides to the beach and market so super explorable. Myself and 9 others literally contemplated extending our trip 3 days because of how great our experience was. If you're looking to go to Quepos, look no further! This is the house you want!

This house and view was amazing! The pictures do not do justice. Just a heads up there is no ac in the common areas (other than the game room). There is however, ac in the bedrooms! The host was awesome and the excursions that were helped planned were amazing! I would recommend this house to anyone. A lot of bugs get into the house but other than that it was great!

Very nice place for a big group. Lovely views and confortable.

This house is perfect for a large group, each room has bathroom ,AC and everything you need is super comfortable. the kitchen has a large table to meet and share. The common areas are spacious although it is quite hot but you are in the middle of the jungle hehe! We saw birds and monkeys from the terraces . It has a game room, BBQ, cable, Netflix. The pool is small, it's the only strange thing since the house is huge. It's close to everything, the beach, el.comercio, the marina. We had a very good stay.

Esta casa es perfecta para un grupo grande, cada habitación tiene baño ,AC y todo lo necesario son super cómoda. la cocina tiene una gran mesa para reunirse y compartir. Los espacios comunes son amplios aunque hace bastante calor pero estas en la mitad de la jungla jeje! vimos pájaros y monos desde las terrazas . tiene una sala de juegos , BBQ, cable, Netflix. La piscina es pequeña, es lo único extraño ya que la casa es enorme. Esta cerca de todo, la playa, el.comercio, la marina. Tuvimos una estadía muy buena.

Great place to stay, nice view, comfortable.

Thank you for choosing Escape Villas for your getaway. It was a pleasure hosting your family.

We pass an entire weekend inside the house due to the covid-19 situation and it was amazing. A lot of spots insead the house.

An absolutely amazing place. The pictures doesn’t do it the justice that it deserves. I showed up with a 4 friends and we were impressed from the moment we pulled up to the house. It was spacious, well laid out and spectacularly decorated. The pool over looking the jungle was definitely a stellar touch. I’d suggest it to anyone that is thinking of visiting the Manuel Antonio area.

Thank you for the great review. Let us know when you are coming back to paradise.

The house was breathtaking but the only problem was there wasn’t any air in the living room or the main common area only in the bedrooms. We were told to keep the windows and doors open but it was still very very hot . If you are staying here please don’t drive , you will have to be escorted around in a taxi or use the concierge services. There isn’t any Walmart’s or stores in this area (only their store ) You will be in the jungle basically!! Great experience and also great excursions but the no HEAT in the house except bedroom kinda ruin my vacation that was planned . This was an all girls trip and we wanted to bond and play games but we weren’t able to do that because of the extreme sweating and no heat ! Gary was a great host but should be more organized when it comes down to payments.

The house exceeded my expectations and made our experience in Costa Rica even better. I would recommend to hire the chef - the meals were absolutely delicious. The concierge, Gary, was very responsive - helpful with providing us suggestions & setting up activities. We will be booking again for our next trip to Manuel Antonio!

Everything was perfect! The villa is really cosy and makes you feel you are part of the jungle.

Where to begin... If you are considering or have the opportunity of staying at Casa Querencia, do not hesitate! Our group of 9 had an exceptional experience from the initial booking to check out. The concierge, Gary, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and wonderful to work with! He assisted us with making multiple excursion and dining reservations, and accommodated our last minute requests. The house is somehow even more beautiful in person. The photos don’t do it justice. All of the rooms are spacious and most have access to private/shared balconies overlooking the rainforest. We spotted various wildlife including monkeys and toucans! To make things even better, the house came with a daily housekeeper and optional chef. We booked Chef Michael for dinner two nights, who prepared some of the best meals we had during our stay! I cannot say enough great things about this house. I would absolutely stay again and recommend this house to friends and family. Pura vida!

The stay at Fernando's place was spectacular. Gary's attention to arrival and the entire stay was excellent, offering all the information, local data and instant solutions to everything, and maintaining constant and very responsive communication. The house is simply unique! Luxury touches with impeccable taste that caused to stay there all day enjoying the amenities offered by the house and admiring a beautiful landscape that makes you feel within nature. Excellent location to go out to restaurants, amenities and beaches. It really exceeded all our expectations. 100% recommended and I hope to be able to return soon!

La estadía en casa de Fernando fue espectacular. La atención de Gary para la llegada y toda la estadía fue excelente, ofreciendo toda la información, datos locales y soluciones instantáneas a todo, y manteniendo una comunicación constante y muy atenta. La casa es simplemente única! Detalles de lujo con un gusto impecable que provocaba quedarse allí todo el día disfrutando de las amenidades que ofrece la casa y admirando un paisaje bellísimo que te hace sentir dentro de la naturaleza. Excelente ubicación para salir a restaurantes, amenidades y playas. Realmente superó todas nuestras expectativas. 100 % recomendado y espero poder regresar pronto!

Muchisimas gracias por estas palabras tan lindas! dejame saber cuando quieres regresar.

This is the first home I've walked into and said "WOW" .. out loud.. Everything about this house is beyond breathtaking.. the photos are lovely but don't do it justice... The management company is spectacular as well. Gary in particular was so incredibly helpful, and kind, and responsive and made even mundane things like handing over keys as pleasure. The house is huge - 4 levels total.. 6 bedrooms.. Perfect for group trips.. each room is very private and gives everyone so e "space". The house was extremely clean and fully stocked with most anything you could want or need (toiletries, kitchen supplies, etc.). I just left and am already trying to negotiate a return trip.

This place was a dream. Clean, cozy, and huge. Definitely need to close all doors and windows before night to keep bugs away but Gary put concierge was thee best Ever! I cannot thank him enough for everything. And last but not least, special thanks to Joshua our chef... I could write a 4 page letter to explain how amazing his food was. It made my birthday trip unforgettable and I am so grateful for him (and his mother's tres leches recipe). THANK YOU.

Such a beautiful place. Infinitely grateful for the opportunity I stay in such a gorgeous place

Incredible value, cannot think of a better property to spend my time while in Quepos. This place is fully equipped, host Gary took great care in showing us around and providing tips. Prompt replies and booked ATV tour for us (no extra cost). The sunrises and sunsets 10/10.

BEAUTIFUL house with a beautiful view. Would definitely recommend and we plan on staying here again!

The pictures of the home do no justice. Concierge, Gary made trip as stressfree as possible by coordinating excursions, private chef and shuttle service. The food Javier prepared as delicious and plentiful. I was so excited we got a chance to see some moneys and tucans.

Expect nothing but the best! It is well maintained, well lit, well ventilated, neat, spacious, artsy, and welcoming! It felt like home away from home!

A super spacious, clean, tidy house with a nice view of the forest. Excellent attention and communication from the host. It has everything you need for a good and comfortable stay except the Wifi which is very limited for the number of spaces. Highly recommended.

Una casa súper amplia, limpia, ordenada y con una linda vista al bosque. Excelente atención y comunicación del host. Tiene todo lo necesario para una buena y cómoda estancia excepto el Wifi que es muy limitado para la cantidad de espacios. Muy recomendado.

Great place right in the middle of the jungle. Tranquility and serenity!!! We loved all the sounds of nature. I'm a big time BBQ guy and they had a grill right on the balcony off the kitchen...WOW!! Nothing like BBQing right in the middle of the jungle with a view of the ocean.

Hello Rosa, thank you for your review we appreciate the feedback and welcome you back anytime. All the best from our team at Escape Villas Costa Rica!

Fernando’s place was above and beyond! So beautiful and even better than the pictures. He was super helpful and assured us in anything we needed. Super clean and gorgeous views of the jungle. We can’t wait to come again and stay with our family! Thank you!

Hello, Alex we highly appreciate your kind review and are very happy you were able to enjoy your trip while staying at the Casa Querencia. If you ever want to come back for a visit please let us know and we can help with your plans.   Thank you and Pura Vida from our whole team at Escape Villas Costa Rica!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The pictures do not do this villa justice. It is much more beautiful in person! Gary, our concierge, was great. He assisted us with booking transportation, our private chef, activities and our in-house massages. Gary was the best! Our provided cell phone did not work for dialing out for the duration of our trip, however when I reached out to Gary by email he would call fairly quick so that made communicating easy. The home was very clean and maids come by daily. My recommendation is to close windows/doors as soon as the sun starts going down as we struggled with the amount of bugs in the kitchen & bedrooms. However, during the day, we had no issues with any bugs. Overall, we loved our stay & absolutely recommend this villa!

We had a great time there, the location of the house is perfect close to beautiful beaches and surrounded by nature, we saw many monkeys there. The house was perfect for my family, Gary and Fernando were always willing to help us and make our staying enjoyable.

Awesome place! Great space, very clean, well equipped, ideal for large groups. Everything works as it should.

House is beautiful. Fernando is a great host. Gary the concierge was friendly and professional too. Cleaning staff was very good. Great experience overall.
