5BR/6BA Luxury Jungle Villa w/ Breathtaking Views! - Houses for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

David's place was perfect for our little getaway. The place was beautiful, clean, had everything you needed, it more. Every question was answered in a timely manner and they were an amazing host. They were also able to accommodate a request we had. Overall, amazing place, great location, beautiful surroundings and the perfect place to enjoy and rest.

Amazing home- would be perfect for 5 couples or a bachelorette party. Host is incredibly responsive and helpful/kind. On site maid service / pool maintenance was fantastic and left the property pristine 24/7. Overall an amazing stay and 10/10 would recommend.

Nice place, excellent service. Everything clean and tidy. Recommended for large groups of people.

Lindo lugar, excelente servicio. Todo limpio y ordenado. Recomendado para grupos grandes de personas.

The house is exactly as shown in the photographs; it is in a secluded, quiet area, perfect for relaxing. I really liked the location of the bedrooms because it allowed for privacy, and it was possible to socialize in the common areas of the kitchen and pool. Very friendly host, with good recommendations and quick to respond. The driveway is in good condition; any vehicle can drive up it. It's paved with cement, so it doesn't get slippery.

La casa es tal y como se muestra en las fotografías, es en una zona alejada, tranquila, perfecta para relajarse. Me gustó mucho la ubicación de los dormitorios por que permitía que se tuviera privacidad y se pudiera compartir en las zonas comunes de cocina y piscina. El anfitrión muy amable, con buenas recomendaciones y respondía rápido. El acceso se encuentra en buen estado, sube cualquier vehículo, se encuentra en cemento por lo que no se resbala.

Really nice house, well designed to enjoy the view and social area. Excellent for accommodating big groups and have a good time. Few minutes drive from beach, restaurants and convenience store. Communication with host fluent and check-in very smooth. We appreciate being hosted!

awesome place with a beautiful view and pool! David was a great host.

We absolutely loved our stay at Monkey Manor. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. David, the owner, was amazing — incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely cared that we had everything we needed. The concierge was also outstanding, offering great local recommendations and always willing to help arrange anything we asked for. The housekeeper was equally wonderful — kind, attentive, and thoughtful, making sure the home was spotless and comfortable throughout our stay. The house itself is beautiful and well equipped. The heated pool was incredible and quickly became one of our favorite parts of the property. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook, and the games were a fun bonus for relaxing evenings. The views are truly special — sweeping beach views, unforgettable sunsets, and so many unique birds to watch throughout the day. It felt peaceful, private, and special in a way that’s hard to find. We loved our stay at Monkey Manor and would abs

Host was communicating very efficiently, making check in process very easy. The place itself was breathtaking and convenient to everything. Though a little away from jaco it the views were worth it. Definitely recommend this to a larger group or families. Bring bug spray, will come in handy.

After a late disaster at a local hotel, Carlos helped us immensely. He provided us with detailed directions and met us at the place. He was excellent with his communication and recommendations. His place was great and the housekeeper, Areliz, was so nice and helpful. We loved the place and hope to return next year. Our only negative was no monkeys, haha. Highly recommend

The house is very nice and private, it has a spectacular view, everything is also very well equipped, in the kitchen you have many utensils for cooking and there is also a grill, they have someone for cleaning every day who gives very clear instructions too and they are super nice people, the place has a super comfortable jacuzzi, with a good view and it works excellent, super relaxing. I would definitely come back.

La casa es muy bonita y privada, tiene un vista espectacular, también todo está muy bien equipado, en la cocina tienes muchos utensilios para cocinar y hay parrilla también, tienen a alguien de limpieza por día que da instrucciones muy claras también y es súper buena gente, el lugar tiene un jacuzzi súper cómodo, con buena vista y funciona excelente, súper relajante. Volvería sin duda.

This place was heaven on earth! The photos actually didn’t do it enough justice and we wished we could’ve stayed longer. David was super helpful with getting transportation and our excursions organized. I definitely recommend staying at this location and will be back again!

It's a beautiful place, suitable for a barbecue and relaxing. It is fully equipped both in the kitchen and in the rooms, which work perfectly as individual studios.

Es un lugar hermoso, apto para una parrillada y relajarse. Está completamente equipado tanto en la cocina como en los cuartos los cuales perfectamente funcionan como estudios individuales.

Hi Wendy—thank you so much for the love! We’re thrilled you and your crew enjoyed Monkey Manor. It was a pleasure hosting you all, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Hope to see you again soon!

Thank you for helping us with everything we needed, my family loved it, we'll be back

Gracias por ayudarnos en todo lo que necesitábamos, a mi familia le encanto, volveremos

¡Hola Hamid! Mil gracias por tu reseña. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que pudimos ayudar en todo lo que necesitaban y que tu familia disfrutó de Monkey Manor. Será un placer recibirlos de nuevo cuando decidan regresar. ¡Los esperamos con los brazos abiertos!

The place is just like the photos, it's impeccably clean, super-equipped. Everything is in excellent condition. I recommend bringing a large car because when you arrive it is very steep and with a stone street.

El lugar es como las fotos, tiene una limpieza impecable, súper equipado. Todo está en excelente estado. Recomiendo llevar un carro grande ya que al llegar es muy empinado y con calle de piedra.

¡Hola Estefanía! Mil gracias por tu reseña y por resaltar que Monkey Manor cumple exactamente con lo que muestran las fotos: limpieza impecable y equipamiento completo. Nos alegra saber que todo estuvo en perfecto estado. Aunque no es imprescindible contar con un vehículo alto, valoramos tu recomendación; el acceso por la calle cementada suele ser cómodo para todos nuestros huéspedes. También agradecemos tu comentario privado: el problema de Internet ya quedó solucionado con el proveedor y hemos reforzado el servicio para evitar futuras interrupciones. Además, trabajaremos en agilizar aún más nuestros tiempos de respuesta por mensaje. Será un placer recibirlas de nuevo en Monkey Manor. ¡Las esperamos pronto para otra estancia inolvidable!

Great stay! Excellent views. Quite the hike getting up the hill however well worth it. Property manager Carlos and host David were very responsive. House cleaner was great and always there to assist. Pablo the chef was always on time and accommodating. All rooms were spacious enough with views. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Highly recommended, the same or better than in the photos.

Super recomendado, igual o mejor que en las fotografías.

Awesome host we had a problem at a separate location and David came to the rescue. Jaco homes is an awesome honest Airbnb rental place and we won’t rent from anyone else. House was very cozy and comfortable. Steel drive made it more exciting.

David and his team were very hands on in the whole process. The house is exactly as it appears in the pictures. Check in was a breeze and there was a full time housekeeper there to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend having a chef come in and cook. We had 5 meals prepared for us and they were all amazing! Must have a 4 wheel drive vehicle!! We were in a 2 wheel drive van and it was quite the adventure coming down the hill. The views are amazing and saw tons of wildlife. We had capuchins, coatimundi, toucans, macaws, iguanas and many others come right up to the house while we were at the pool. Highly recommend!

The place was beautiful and David helped us a ton by setting us up with activities & a local driver. He was very responsive!

We had a great time! Beautiful house, it really has everything you need to enjoy your vacations. Will definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful time in the Villa. We would definitely come back.

A good place at the top with very good views. The house is perfect, tidy and recommended

un buen lugar en lo alto con muy buenas vistas la casa perfecta ordenada recomendada

Great location with a beautiful view and a wonderful setup. We extended a day because it was so nice there. Convenient to the whole area for activities and sightseeing, but you could easily pass your whole time at the house and feel like it was a vacation well spent. We’ll be back.

A beautiful jungle oasis, located on a steep hill so you get breathtaking views of the ocean and jungle. Monkey Manor is a villa with multiple bedrooms, AC, and the perfect touches to make your vacation one to remember. Everything is cared for and David and Carlos are incredibly helpful when organizing. Very convenient to the city of Jaco and Playa Hermosa without being in the thick of it. Things to note: you must have transportation that is made for steep rugged terrain. Nothing is walkable which may not be ideal for big groups as you then need to schedule van pick ups. While September is rainy season, it is also the start of winter in Costa Rica which I think explained the lack of animal and monkey sightings. There were plenty of iguanas and a Coati sighting at the villa so you will still encounter wildlife. A trip to remember!

Oooo my god this place is amazingggggg. The view the pool the hot tub the rooms everything was so great. You have got to stay here. 10 min to downtown Jaco which has a ton to do and eat. I loved every minute me and my family was there. Stop looking stay here trust me.

We loved this place! Amazing views, perfect for large groups. Each bedroom is separated for privacy. Two large fully stocked kitchens and outdoor grill The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Only downside was we didn’t see any monkeys :). Make sure you have 4x4 but don’t miss out on this house.

I would recommend this place to everyone. Not only is David the best host, but he managed to attend to all of my group’s needs. David helped us book all our excursions and addressed all of our concerns. He was attentive to our needs a and made sure we were comfortable the entire stay. The house itself is breathtaking. It has a lot of space and we loved the indoor outdoor feel. The views from the house are beautiful, especially during sunrise. This house was also a perfect distance from Jaco and were able to come back if needed. Definitely recommended staying here for your next vacation!! Thank you David!

I've stayed in many Airbnbs and this was one of the best. The views, the house, the wonderful hospitality of the host and housekeeper all made this an awesome stay. This was also one of the best stocked kitchens I've ever had at an Airbnb; a chef's dream in the open-air kitchen

This home was absolutely stunning. The house was so accommodating for our large family. The housecleaner was amazing he kept our rooms clean the entire stay. David was very helpful with setting up a driver and chef & was very responsive. The view from the pool area is absolutely breathtaking. Monkeys even came up on the patio! This was one of favorite homes to stay at in Costa rica and we will be back! Don’t hesitate and book this spot! It’s worth it! ☺️

I would recommend Monkey Manor and would love to stay again in the future. The view from the pool and patio/kitchen is worth the stay. The layout makes it a perfect place to grill out and spend time together in a group by the pool. The heated jaquuzi was a huge plus. The house is well maintained, clean, and provided quality ammeneties. The host was very tentative and helpful. The road to the home is paved but very steep... Somthing to think about depending on the car you take up. Google maps gave our group 3 different roads to get up, so make sure to ask the host to clarify which one is the best.

We had a great stay at Monkey Manor. Loved the pool/jacuzzi with outdoor kitchen set up and beautiful views. If you are a family looking for an indoor living room/gathering area, this house does not have one. The outdoor kitchen area is the only place on the property where everyone can get together which was fine by us. We really enjoyed the private chef for both dinner and breakfast which David arranged for us. Housekeeper was great. Only big negative for us was the house not having constant running water for us on two different days. Second day was over eight hours w/o any water which meant no flushing toilets without using buckets of water to carry into the bedrooms. We ended up spending $230 on jugs of water then David was nice enough to drop more off for us. (told pipe broke in community but never fully resolved during our stay) FYI: Walk to beach- not for the weak, steep hill. 3.0 miles, 1.5 hour walk Restaurants: Animal (Playa Hermosa)- Delicious! (GF-Celiac) & Sea Salt (Jaco)

Hello Andy, hopefully you saw my private message, but I am truly sorry for the water issues you had during your stay. I can assure you that has never happened before. The broken pump affected the whole neighborhood. We are grateful for your patience and we would like to offer you a discount for any future stay with us, as a token of our appreciation. Thank you again for trusting us with your vacation.

A secluded jungle oasis. David was such a great host, he took the time to meet with us prior to our arrival, gave us a bunch of recommendations and even helped us plan our itinerary and prebook some excursions/services. He was super responsive and attentive to any of our needs or requests. Our experience in Costa Rica was beyond incredible. Thanks David!

The house is amazing and the host was very responsive

Definitely will stay here again! We (our family of 8) were completely pampered. I can't begin to describe how seamlessly things went during our stay. David and Carlos arranged everything for us and helped us build the perfect itinerary.  Our driver, Johnny, was there whenever we needed to go somewhere. We had excursions planned which all turned out great. We had chefs, masseuses, and yoga teachers arranged and they came to the house! Our housekeeper was so kind and keeps the place lovely, even helped us do laundry. Any issues we had were dealt with promptly. We love to cook and the kitchen is so fun to cook in (deep sea fishing yielded huge fish so we had a blast). The villa is STUNNING- the view, the pool, the kitchen and every room. It is very private and very very comfortable. So sad to have to leave!! We are 100% ready to return and enjoy monkeys and birds! When you come to CR, don't miss out on this place!

David invested much time in advance assisting in planning our trip. His suggestions were very helpful. Everything was as described and pictured. The view is fabulous and you actually see more of the ocean than expected. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the main road. For our family, each room seemed like a separate oasis which was very nice. The housekeeper did a fine job.  We hired the van/driver and in this situation very glad that we had done rather than driving ourselves. Johnny also provided great advice. We did want to rent a car one day, and had specified that but none were remaining when Carlos tried. If going at Christmas, make sure arrangements are confirmed in advance for all activities. We hired the chef 3 times. We were accurately charged. Food was very good. It was abundant, so we had a lot of leftovers.  The common kitchen table/pool area was great and exactly what we needed for family time.

Cannot say enough good things about our trip to Monkey Manor. We knew from the reviews & pictures that the place was nice, but it exceeded our expectations! The place was amazing! Our family of 11 (8 adults and kids 8,4 &2) had the trip of a lifetime. We loved the common area-kitchen around the pool for all to hang out. Prior to the trip, David spent considerable time helping to plan our week out based on our interests. Carlos was there to greet us and helped with anything that came up. We opted to have Johnny and his 12 passenger van for the week. Amazing! Chefs Jose and Karen cooked some incredible meals for us (3 dinners and 3 breakfasts). Arelis was a terrific housekeeper and anticipated our every need (she only speaks Spanish so you'll need a translate app). Other highlights: Dinner at El Avion, tour of Manuel Antonio National Park, Los Suenos Adventure park, Catamaran to Tortuga Island, and Esterellis Beach. Can't say enough positive about our experience. Highly recommend

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, while spending a week in Costa Rica. David was amazing at helping coordinate all plans leading up to the trip and being very informative about excursions, surrounding areas, restaurants, and more. The service we received by house manager Carlos was phenomenal as well. Extremely grateful to have been given the opportunity to stay here and would do so again in a heartbeat.

Geesh, what a place for great relaxation and body refreshing! Gorgeous clean pool within the heights of the jungle air. Amazing chef services that had flavor in every meal, I'm talking breakfast, lunch, and dinner 🍇🍍🍌🍓🫒🌭🍔🥦🫑🥖🥕🌽🥑🍅🍋🍉🥩🍳🥗🍤🍻🍷🍾, shout out to Belin - the head Chef, 👨🏽‍🍳 (probably spelled it wrong). The scheduled Yoga session was awesome, informative, and relaxing. We truly enjoyed our yoga instructor! The driver, Raymond, had great recommendations when it came to restaurants local and at a distance. Heads up, walking is not advised and not possible if you asked me..lol. The property provided 5 private bedrooms all with their own baths and an additional whole beautiful bath out by the pool, which was great for my group of 8 (3 couples, 2 singles). This was a great find! Once me and Dave talked, he suggested these recommendations and it aligned with what i wanted to do and came together beautifully. Thank you, I appreciate it ✌🏾!

We feel very private and it was relaxing place as expected. Surrounded very beautiful nature, birds and cute monkeys

From the beginning Davis was attentive, kind and very responsive. Our entire trip was planned to a tea! David gave amazing recommendations for a driver (Johnny), a chef(Jose), massage therapist, delicious restaurants, and attractions. A seamless trip for my bachelorette party due to the beautiful home and amenities. The home looks EXACTLY like the photos but better once you see the view. I highly recommend you book before your dates are gone

It was extremely enjoyable, serene, beautiful atmosphere and just a breath of fresh air. I, so appreciate all the suggestions and advice from David and Carlos. We just loved “Eleese” and Chef Karen. My apologies for I am unsure of the spelling of Eleese’s name.  Let me not forget to mention our massages were on point. Thank you for the experience at Monkey Manor.

Great Stay! Amazing Beautiful home! Everything was perfect from the time we arrived until we left. They provided us with all the accommodations we requested. Transportation to and from town, excursions, private chef...etc... I highly recommend if you are looking for a beautiful and affordable place to stay in Playa Hermosa.

This Airbnb was INCREDIBLE. The house was huge, well-decorated, clean, and felt very private. The view, pool, and hot tub were all amazing (even better than the photos). The host, David, and the property manager, Carlos, were amazing too. They helped my friends and I curate our trip to Costa Rica by giving us activity and restaurant suggestions, booking us a private driver (highly recommend doing this), chefs, and massages. Everything was so easy and the quality was excellent. Our group loved every minute at Monkey Manor and we’d be so happy to return again one day!

We felt honored when reading your review of your stay and appreciate your kind words. It would be our pleasure to have you come back and know that any of you are welcome to stay back at the Monkey Manor. We would be thrilled to host you and we're sure David and Carlos will give all their best to help you again planning your trip to be the best. We wish you the best and hope to see you back in the near future. Pura vida!

The Monkey Manor exceeded our expectations - the scenery and view are incredible and the photos don't do it justice. The house is beautiful, clean, and perfect for a group. We had monkeys visiting most days as well as lizards and some other small animals checking us out. Was a great experience and made for lots of photo ops. David was an awesome host from start to finish. Proactive with communication, very responsive and helpful. He has great people locally that make the transportation, cleaning, cooking, and everything else you may need very simple. We followed all of his recommendations for excursions around Jaco, Manuel Antonio and Playa Herradura and we had a blast. David arranged a private chef for several meals and they were arguably better than any restaurant we visited - especially the day we caught fresh tuna and mahi and had them cook it for us for dinner. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend

David, Carlos, and Johnny were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Johnny our private driver new the area extremely well and even recommended some local attractions and restaurants to check out. Their communication throughout the entire process was prompt and clear. The Airbnb itself was immaculate. The decor was stylish and modern, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. The amenities provided were top-notch, including a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedding, and a spacious bathroom with all the essentials. Our Costa Rica experience exceeded our expectations. The host's hospitality, the cleanliness of the space, and the convenient location all contributed to a memorable stay. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable accommodation option.

The house is amazing, pool and jacuzzi with spectacular view. Distribution of the rooms is nice and allows a feeling of privacy. Kitchen is very well equipped, found everything needed and more. The team is very helpful and always easy to get a hold of. Helped with reservations and anything we needed. This place is to stay in and enjoy it, very nice and relaxing. We got a chef to cook for us one of the days and it was great, again the team helped with this. The house is in a very high hill and it’s about 20-30 minutes to Jaco, keep that in mind. You will need a car to go anywhere and it will take some time. Overall we had an amazing time! Thank you!

WOW! Amazing place to stay in. It is just like the pictures! Enjoyed many sunsets in the pool! House had all amenities + housekeeper who helps keep everything nice and clean. Property manager Carlos was super responsive with anything I needed, like the local taxi phone number. PLEASE rent a 4X4 Car Rental (there are many STEEP hills in Costa Rica). This house made our Costa Rica Trip one to remember! Thank you!

My entire family, all 8 of us, really enjoyed our stay at Monkey Manor. We had guests ages 20s to 60s, and every one had fun. The entire home was beautiful and every room is so nice. It was so nice to get away to Costa Rica. The host was accommodating and there to help us navigate, problem solve, and offer recommendations. The view from the property was Amazing!! We could see the waves rolling in at Playa Hermosa. Every single thing has been thought of; fresh flowers the day of arrival, our housekeeper greeting us, individual locks for each room, gorgeously appointed rooms/ensuites, wifi, TV in multiple rooms including the main dining area, workspace in several rooms for those trying to work remotely, functioning air-conditioning in each room, mini fridges in several rooms, the softest water I've ever experienced in each shower AND in the pool/jacuzzi.

Comparison; I have stayed at multiple Airbnb’s and by far this place was the bast bang for your buck! Just far enough away from Jaco to get out of the city and crowds. THE DRIVE; most taxis for our group of 10 (one van) had an extremely hard time going up the aggressive slop going up. But once you get to the finish line it’s well worth it. The Atmosphere; it was VERY welcoming and spacious. The Living Quarters; each room was spacious and roomie with their one keys. The Maid; she was VERY trustworthy and did her job fantastic.

Read this Review for accuracy: 1) The Home This AirBNB was just as the pictures have it. The home was surrounded by beautiful scenery. All kinds of wildlife but from a distance. The rooms were spotless and clean, no bugs inside the home at all. The pool is fantastic, hot tub in the middle and it was a very relaxing experience. 2) The Team This AirBNB is lead by David who is amazing. He will assist you with your itinerary and provide any clarifications to your questions. His response timing is very prompt and he cares to provide you the most optimal experience. Carlos, the property manager is a very kind individual. The team also consists of a maid who does all the cleaning and optional chef(s) and drivers. I'd heavily recommend both as they made our experience fantastic. 3) The Surrounding The place is located on an uphill with a beautiful view. Location is great for bachelors, birthday parties or even a family gateaway. Plenty of space, one of the best AirBNB experiences by far

It was amazing!! The staff is amazing and our stay was absolutely perfect! I would stay again in a heartbeat

David’s place was by far the most beautiful airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! Very private, surrounded by nature, and beautiful design. Definitely recommend and hope to come back one day. David also was a responsive and kind host who gave us fantastic recommendations. Note that you will need to either rent a car or pay for a daily driver to get to and from the airbnb due to the roads and how Ubers sometimes cannot pick you up from there but David helped us set up a driver for our trip and he was wonderful. Definitely worth it!

Loved everything about this airbnb! Couldn't have imagined a better space with amazing views like you'd find here. David and his team went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay in Costa Rica.

Such an amazing stay. David, Carlos, and our maid service made the monkey manor feel like home. I miss it already. We were able to see the monkeys one morning and a couple of iguanas. The home is beyond beautiful. I have no complaints.

Highly recommend this Airbnb! From the time we landed to the time we left we were taken care of. The host (David) was so helpful and responsive from the moment I booked the trip. He recommended and arranged transportation, chefs, massages before we arrived. The transportation (Johnny) was so nice, patient, helpful and informative. The massages were 5⭐️ and the chefs made quality meals. The house itself was breathtaking! We were able to see the monkeys. The house was super clean, & fully equipped. They really paid attention to the details. Carlos was great. He greeted us when we arrived and quickly responded every time I reached out during our stay. He recommended a market that delivered the day we stayed in. The beach & restaurants were great. We were able to ride jet skis, horses on the beach, and went parasailing. One of the places on the beach catered to us the whole time we were there! I mean the whole trip was 5⭐️ Our whole party of 10 left happy! I miss those pillows already!

Amazing place great views Great hosts

Monkey Manor was absolutely fantastic! Every room was well equipped, air conditioned, and comfortable, and the open kitchen was such a wonderful space. David and Carlos were so so helpful, and arranged so many activities for us, as well as a wonderful private chef. Would recommend a 4x4 car if you’re renting, and a confident driver!

Amazing stay! Carlos was simply amazing. Super responsive and helpful, as well as very resourceful. The place was beautiful, the chefs were great, and again, Carlos was a fantastic host. Finally, the cleaning person present on a daily basis was super and made our stay even more amazing. Many thanks, Dave

David was very attentive from the beginning, a very friendly host, he has a list of activities and places to eat . The house was in optimal condition , definitely a space to live with family and relax

David fue muy Atento desde el Principio, un anfitrión muy amigable, tiene un listado de actividades y lugares para comer . La casa estaba en óptimas condiciones , definitivamente un espacio para convivir en familia y relajarse

This was a dream vacation and in the best AirBnB in Jaco. The house was very private and had all the amenities you could ask for. The best part that came with the AirBnB was Carlos! Anything you need, he got you from private chefs, massages, grocery delivery, etc. Thank you for an amazing stay.

We loved Monkey Manor! The pool and the view was amazing and is where we spent most of our time while at the house. The privacy of the bedrooms and open kitchen concept were perfect and decor was spot on. The house manager Carlos was so accommodating during our stay and such a joy to interact with. We were not fortunate enough to see any monkeys while at the house but also know they don’t run on a time schedule. Looking forward to coming back in the future, missing monkey manor already!

Elion, it was our pleasure to have hosted you. You are welcome to come back anytime. Have a good one!

Could not recommend this Airbnb more!!! David was SO helpful before we arrived, he walked us through each day of our stay and helped us plan our activities, made restaurant reservations, and ordered massages and chefs to the house! Once we arrived, Carlos, the property manager, was there to greet us and walk us through the house and made sure we had everything we needed. Carlos was available for us the whole trip and always responded right away. Our rental car battery died while in town for dinner and Carlos came right away to help us jump the car. Aside from the gorgeous view, amazing pool, and spacious, well decorated, comfortable rooms, we felt VERY safe at the house. We had an amazing trip and a huge part of that was David, Carlos and this house!

This past July I celebrated my 30th birthday in Costa Rica with 11 of my friends at David’s place. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. David and I were communicating weeks before we arrived, setting up transportation, activities, chefs, etc. From the day my friends and I arrived to the moment we left, we couldn’t have been more taken care of. The house is beyond beautiful and the location is amazing. The views are breathtaking and all the wildlife around the property made it that much more memorable. David and his team (Shoutout Carlos and Johnny!) helped us with any and everything we needed. They were beyond accommodating and even when I asked for last minute massages to be at the house within the hour or changed an activity at the last second, they got it done. I’m so thankful for David and his team and I highly recommend staying here if your looking for an unforgettable experience.

This place is beautiful with amazing views. The pictures do not do it justice. Carlos and David are extremely responsive and easy to get in touch with. This was by far one of the best Airbnb experiences we have ever had. Highly recommend!!

Monkey Manor is a beautiful place.  The view is amazing and you will not want to even leave the property.  The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is stocked very well for cooking.  The property is very well maintained and is close to Jaco.  We had an amazing trip thanks to the comfort of Monkey Manor.

Beautifully designed home. The property is eccentric and our big group was more than comfortable with the multiple rooms/buildings onsite. The drive to downtown Jaco is about 20-30 min, but the privacy and views are undefeated. The jacuzzi/pool calls for you every time and we almost stayed in the entire trip. David and his team are solid hosts and helped build an itinerary with some of the best experiences for our visit to Costa Rica. Thank you for a fantastic time!

Accurate photos of the overall villa besides the majority of beds are smaller in person. Only major issues were a couple of the items in the house were not in good condition (like a lamp was broken), and the room that I stayed in had absolutely zero hot water and a clogged sink.

Beautiful location. David is very accommodating and helpful.

I can’t begin to describe how amazing Monkey Manor was, but I’ll give it a try. First, check in was a breeze. Property Manager Carlos was there before we got there to show us around the incredible property and tell us how everything worked. He had amazing recommendations and set us up on some incredible excursions. We did the Paddle 9 waterfall tour which is perfect for nearly all ages (I saw a 75 year old grandmother jump off a waterfall some of my 35 year old friends were too scare to attempt!). We had a chill beach day on Jaco where we rented some surfboards and took to the smooth rolling waves. Make sure you check the boards thoroughly first so you don’t get scammed into the $10-$20 “repairs” they requested. And for the adventurers out there we did an ATV tour through the rainforest and to a waterfall which was the highlight of my trip. But back to the Airbnb, David was an incredible host and Monkey Manor is even more immaculate and breathtaking in person. Typically these Airbnb’s have fluffed up photos but in the case of Monkey Manor, the pictures don’t do it justice. Thanks David for the wonderful stay and I highly recommend you and your family stay here!

Hands down the most beautiful home we have ever stayed at! The layout, decor, and amenities are amazing! The hosts are so easy to reach, offer tons of recommendations and answer all the questions. We did see monkeys at the home! Super beautiful pool for amazing nights, definitely recommend the massages on the deck and the in-home chef dinners. Jacó won our hearts! Thank you Carlos and DB 🙏🏽

If you’re going to Hermosa Beach in jaco without any hesitation choose monkey Manor David and his team were awesome house is beautiful and very clean with million dollars view and we will definitely come back to his place

This was such an amazing choice! We all had such a great time. The best times we had in Costa Rica were at this very home! The views were spectacular. Each room had its own uniqueness. The host was so accommodating as well as the driver. The recommendations the host made were great. I had such a memorable birthday vacation. I would absolutely come back to this Airbnb. Before selecting the Airbnb, my fiancé and I searched around looking for recommendations from other Airbnb postings and I have to say that David was the most welcoming full of advice and help before we even made the reservation. That definitely drew us into booking with him and his team. I cant stress enough that this location is incredible and even more outstanding in person. Pictures do no justice! 10/10 recommend this location.

Had an amazing time at the house! Hosts were very helpful and accommodating

This is by far one of the best options for your stay at Jaco. Way better in person than the pictures. Each room had its own bathroom and the pool was picture perfect. Most importantly everything works on the property. Book it!

The monkey manor is in a great location, very private. The view is spectacular especially during sunrise. The pool and jacuzzi was great as well. The host communicated effectively and was able to provide a good experience. If you like natural and openness to a none traditional house this is the place for you. Each room has its own private bathroom and the Master bedroom has its own kitchen. The pictures are exactly what you will see in person. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, private massages, and private chef. Worth every single penny. Would definitely come back. The town of Jaco has one of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. Warm water, and amazing dark sand. Tons of restaurants and activities in the surrounding area. Something our host was able to provide.

The Monkey villa was absolutely fantastic - 5 separate rooms, big and fully equipped kitchen with EVERYTHING from utensils, slow cooker, blender, toaster to ice maker, another kitchen with second fridge on the second floor! Master bedroom is HUGE and furnished with modern and chic art pieces! Pool and hot hub with night lights was a highlight and one day we decided not to go to the beach and stay by the pool! Carlos, the villa manager, was very helpful and responsive to all our questions and requests, such as taxi, massage, restaurant reservation, etc! He accommodated our late check out request - for which we are even more thankful! We can’t say enough how we enjoyed our stay at the villa! Many thanks Carlos!!!! Tania & Co

This was one of my favorite vacations to date. The entire trip went so smoothly thanks to the help of Carlos. It was a group of 5 of us, not the easiest group as we’re rather high maintenance haha, and they absolutely took care of everything. From getting groceries to arranging tours, excursions, a driver, a chef, and masseuses you name it. The house was wonderfully decorated and the pictures are very accurate, but that view in real life is even better. I highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely Magical! When they say modern comforts while living in the jungle, they mean it :) Everyone likes to disconnect, but some more than others and my family likes being comfortable no matter where they are in the world. Highlights from our stay include the in-home massages, which were INCREDIBLE with that view, the breeze, and the sounds of the jungle in the background. We prepaid for some excursions ahead of time and were we glad we did! The crocodile tour was so much fun, but I’m not sure I’ll ever need to get that close to a crocodile again haha. The kids loved the pool and it’s super convenient that they have a crib at the house. All in all, a great stay and we can’t wait to come back soon.

If you like feeding monkeys and a breathtaking view that never quits, then this is your spot! Booked this house for a weekend stay in Jacó to blow off some steam in between Santa Theresa and Uvita. Jacó has a place in my heart, but this house just upped it another level. Super cool wallpaper in each of the rooms, plenty of activities to do around the house so no one is ever bored. The pool and jacuzzi are awesome to have and just stare at that view for hours with a cold cocktail in hand. Can’t complain and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend and would encourage any other guests to have Zona k catered at the house. They did an incredible job and was well worth the money! Thank you :)
