The houses were perfect, the same or better than in the photos. The house had all the amenities described in the ad. We appreciated the cleanliness, the details throughout the house, and the tranquility of the place. Agustína and Diane are super responsive. Thank you very much for your help! We felt right at home, so we extended our stay. Definitely recommended! As already indicated, you need a 4x4 to get to the house without any problems. We would like to come back!

Las casas eran perfectas, iguales o mejores de las fotos. La casa tenía todos los confort descrito en la publicación. Apreciamos la limpiezas, los detalles en toda la casa y la tranquilidad del lugar. Super reactiva Agustína y Diane. Muchas gracias por su ayuda! Nos sentimos como en nuestra casa, tanto da extender nuestra estadía. Seguramente recomendada! Como yá indicado, hay que tener un 4x4 por llegar sin problema a la casa. Nos gustaria volver!

Thank you Giuseppe for your kind review.  We are very happy you enjoyed your stay and thank you for choosing our property!

This house is top-notch and has everything you need for a spectacular stay in Santa Teresa. It has all the details, big and small, that make your stay truly enjoyable. From coffee and salt to board games, pool towels, a portable speaker, and a grill by the pool, it's very well-equipped and highly recommended for up to 8 people. It's 10 minutes from downtown Santa Teresa in Car and a 3-minute walk to the nearest beach. The service and attention are first-rate. I definitely recommend it if you're staying with family or a group of no more than 8 people. One of the best Airbnbs I've used

Thank you so much Jose for the detailed and kind review.  We are very pleased you were happy with your stay.  Thank you for choosing our property!

I went to the treehouse with my children and we had a great time. It has everything you need to cook, and the pool area is very quiet and beautiful, surrounded by lots of vegetation. It's close to the beach where you can see beautiful sunsets.

Fui a la casa del árbol con mis hijos y la pasamos genial, tiene todo lo que se necesita para cocinar, el área de la piscina es muy tranquila y hermosa rodeada de mucha vegetación. Está cerca de la playa donde se ven unos atardeceres hermosos.

Thank you Kathia for the kind review.  We are very pleased you had a nice time with your family :)  Thank you for choosing our property!

We had an amazing stay with our family! The house is exceptionally well maintained, very clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. The hosts and local team were very friendly, responsive, and always willing to help. The location is fantastic, just minutes from beautiful beaches, and one of the highlights was having nature right at our doorstep—we even got to watch howler monkeys visiting the property! It was a truly special experience, and we would happily stay here again. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much Mauricio for the kind and detailed review! We are so thrilled you had a great vacation with your family.  The team enjoyed taking care of such lovely guests and we are so happy the monkeys came to visit!  We would be pleased to welcome you back anytime :)

This was our third stay at Casa Arbol, buy it won't be our last. The place is just perfect! So bright,so clean, so comfortable, so safe, and perfectly located near Playa Manzanillo. We mostly cook our own meals, and the kitchen is huge, well equipped, with every kitchen gadget you need. The beds are really comfortable, and the mini splits cool down reach room in minutes. The pool area is furnished like an exclusive resort, the pool was kept immaculately clean. The jungle surrounding was perfect for bird and monkey watching. The house was cleaned midnight week- a really nice touch. Diane and her team responded to every question within a fee minutes. It all made for a great experience!

Thank you so much for your kind review and all the details!  We can't wait to host you again! We hope to see you soon :)

Diane was an amazing host and the place was everything I could’ve hoped for. Especially loved having to distinct units and the kids love the bunkbeds. Also the outdoor shower is a great touch.

Thank you Sean for the great review!  We hope to see you again.  Anytime!

The place is very beautiful Everything was tidy, clean and very comfortable I highly recommend renting it. I would go back to the place.

El lugar es muy bello Todo ordenado, limpio y muy comodo Super recomiendo alquilarlo, volveria al lugar.

Thank you very much Mariana for your review.  We are  pleased you had such a pleasant stay with us.

We enjoyed our stay at Diane's from start to finish; we felt right at home at Casa del Árbol from the very first moment. Manzanillo is much quieter than Santa Teresa with all its hustle and bustle, but the many restaurants are within driving distance. The house with a pool is beautiful, superbly furnished (the kitchen has EVERYTHING you need), and invites you to relax and enjoy. The fantastic beaches are minutes away. And Agustina, Cris, and Darwin take care of everything when you need help.

Der Aufenthalt bei Diane hat uns von A-Z gefallen, wir haben uns in der Casa del Arbol vom ersten Moment an wie zuhause gefühlt. Manzanillo ist viel ruhiger als Santa Teresa mit seinem Trubel, aber die vielen Restaurants sind in Fahrdistanz. Das Haus mit Pool ist wunderschön, top eingerichtet (in der Küche hat es ALLES, was man braucht) und lädt zum Geniessen ein. Die traumhaften Strände sind nur wenige Minuten entfernt. Und Agustina, Cris & Darwin kümmern sich um alles, wenn man Hilfe benötigt.

Thank you so much for the kind review Benedict!  You were exceptional guests and Agustina, Cris and Darvin all said you were such a lovely family :)  We are so pleased you had such a great stay.  Thank you for choosing our property and we hope to see you again!

The house was perfect, beyond our expectations. We chose to hire a private chef (Chef Nicoa), and the food was delicious! Definitely the best food in Costa Rica. My friend has lived here for a few years and has never eaten so well. The beach is within walking distance, and you can see the ocean from the terrace. I definitely recommend it—it's the best Airbnb in the area and perfect for a family, with the casita providing privacy when we want it.

La maison était parfaite, au delà de nos attentes. Nous avons choisi de prendre un chef privé (chief Nicoa) et la nourriture était délicieuse! La meilleure cuisine du Costa Rica définitivement, mon amie habite ici depuis quelques années et n’a jamais aussi bien mangé. La plage est à distance de marche et on voie l’océan de la terrasse. Je conseille définitivement, le meilleur airbnb dans les environs et parfait pour une famille avec la casita qui permet d’avoir une intimité lorsque nous voulons.

Merci Beaucoup Felix! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay so much and experienced the fabulous Chef Nicoa :) We really appreciate your kind and thoughtful review and you were such a pleasure to host.  We hope to welcome you back.  Anytime!

The whole family was happy, very nice, quiet, it had everything we needed and more.

Toda la familia iba contenta, muy lindo, tranquilo, tenía de todo lo que se necesitaba y más,

Thank you so much for the kind words and review!  We are so very happy you all had such a good time.  We hope to see you again! :)

Our family of four cannot recommend Diane’s beautiful home enough. It truly felt like a luxury resort with the beautiful pool and indoor/outdoor living space. The home was well stocked and had comfortable and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. We were especially appreciative of Augustina and team who were readily available to  provide recommendations  or meet any needs we had during our stay. The location of the home is perfect, close to activities and restaurants, but still secluded from others, except for the monkeys which we enjoyed watching every day. We did not use the casita during our stay, but it was just as well appointed as the house and gives promise to returning with friends or family. During our time we visited Montezuma, Hermosa and Manzanillo beaches, as well as did a canopy zip line tour. We ate at the nearby soda, Atardecer Dorado, and the brewery just steps away from the house multiple times. Thank you all for making our Costa Rican experience so special!

Thank you so much Edward for the thoughtful, detailed and kind review.  You and your family were truly special guests.  Agustina and the team enjoyed very much helping make a beautiful vacation for such an appreciative family.  And thank you again for leaving the boogie boards you purchased for other guests.  Very generous and much appreciated!  Thank you for choosing our property and we we can't wait to welcome you back! :)

this is a beautiful place. nature surrounds you and you feel private. the wildlife we saw and heard was amazing. from howler monkeys to white face monkeys and the green macaws, to many other birds. exceptionally clean and had everything we needed-even 2 large beach blankets. it is a quiet neighbourhood, and if you feel like going out, there is a brewery 20 seconds away you can walk to. excellent drinks and delicious food. we walked to the manzanillo beach a few times, a 5 minute walk, give or take, depending on the time of day. mornings, we found best, as we were not in direct sun. Diane was friendly and helpful. the host,Augustina was friendly and always ready to help. Darwin and Cris did an amazing job at keeping the place clean and were always full of smiles when greeted. we had a car, and appreciated the close proximity to Santa Teresa. We would definitely stay here again. The pool in the morning and evening were refreshing. love the outdoor space.loved the outdoor shower.

Thank you Pam and Albert for the kind review!  Your thoughtful comments about Agustina, Darvin and Cris are very much appreciated.  They all work very hard to ensure lovely guests like yourselves are well taken care of :)  We are so happy you enjoyed all the beauty Costa Rica has to offer.  We hope to see you again and thank you for choosing our property!

Beautiful house and great location. Right between two great beaches. Modern, clean, well equipped house. Perfectly maintained, peaceful spot. Manzanillo beach has perfect shade trees, good swimming and nice tide pools. Great restaurants in the area, including right down the street. Hope to return soon.

Thank you so much JC for the great review! We hope to welcome you all back again.  Anytime!

Hello Diane and Agustina, Thank you so much for a memorable stay. Diane, your listening and efficiency as a manager have been remarkable, with always clear communications. Agustina, thanks for your valuable help on site. The property is beautiful. The layout is perfect, and the small adjacent house is a nice bonus. The jungle view and partial sea view is beautiful. In the evening, hearing the waves is magical. The quality of supplies and equipment is excellent, and the staff are present and efficient. We ran out of electricity for almost a day, but your advice helped us a lot. The location is ideal, close to Playa Santa Teresa. It is best to provide a good vehicle. San Teresa is a real favorite. After visiting more than 20 countries, I can say that it has become my favorite place. I also recommend the Manzú restaurant at the Nantipa hotel for exceptional service. I'll be back soon. Thanks

Bonjour Diane et Agustina, Merci sincèrement pour ce séjour mémorable. Diane, votre écoute et votre efficacité comme gestionnaire ont été remarquables, avec des communications toujours claires. Agustina, merci pour votre aide précieuse sur place. La propriété est superbe. Le layout est parfait, et la petite maison adjacente est un bel avantage. La vue sur la jungle et partielle sur la mer est magnifique. Le soir, entendre les vagues est magique. La qualité des fournitures et équipements est excellente, et le personnel est présent et efficace. Nous avons manqué d’électricité près d’une journée, mais vos conseils nous ont beaucoup aidés. L’emplacement est idéal, près de Playa Santa Teresa. Il est préférable de prévoir un bon véhicule. San Teresa est un véritable coup de cœur. Après avoir visité plus de 20 pays, je peux dire que c’est devenu mon endroit préféré. Je recommande aussi le restaurant Manzú à l’hôtel Nantipa pour un service exceptionnel. Je reviendrai très bientôt. Merci

Merci Beaucoup Martin for the kind and detailed review! We are so pleased you enjoyed the property and the area :) The power outage during your stay was country wide and such a power outage has not happened for 10 years in Costa Rica. We thank you so much for your patience with this and so glad it did not taint your stay! Thank you very much for choosing our property and we hope to see you again!

We had a wonderful stay at Diane’s Villa. The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces, especially the pool. We were entertained watching the local wildlife, monkeys, birds, and squirrels right from the comfort of our deck chairs. The house is well situated, close to the beautiful beaches a short drive away. The casita was perfect for our daughter, son in law and granddaughter, they loved having their own private space. I would highly recommend staying at Diane’s Villa.

Thank you very much Tracy for the kind review! We like nothing more when our guests enjoy a family vacation and let us know. You and your family were such a pleasure to host. Thank you for staying at our property!

The house was so clean upon arrival!  Based on one review we read of the property, we were on alert for any jungle critters and we did not see one.  The property manager had told us upon they just did a thorough fumigation etc.  The house is fully equipped with towels for the pool...all the necessary kitchenware...an abundance of bath towels in each bathroom...and even playing cards and some board games...are all at your fingertips for a no-stress holiday.  Both living spaces are beautifully appointed and very private, and the outdoor area is so spacious, including a fabulous barbecue and eating area and a wonderful space around the pool for relaxation.  The quality of furniture and finishing materials is very apparent!  The pool and gardens were well maintained and the property felt safe and secure with fencing surrounding the property and a locked gate at the entry point.  We loved the location with a short walk to the beach, a fabulous Italian restaurant just down the road, and a sh

Thank you Kim for the kind review and for contacting me that you hit send before finishing the review with... "short 15 minute drive to Santa Teresa with all of the shops and restaurants to enjoy there! Quite literally, a perfect vacation home and one that we would return to another time!" :)) So glad you enjoyed the property and hope to host you and your friends again. Anytime!

Our family of 4 stayed at Diane’s villa 12/28/25–1/3/26. Communication was excellent. Augustina met us at the villa, gave an overview of the property, nearby beaches, and restaurants. She was helpful during our stay. The villa is lovely. The A/C works well, hot water/pressure is good. The pool/outdoor space is fantastic. We loved hearing the howler monkeys in the mornings. The location is great: a short drive to Playa Hermosa and downtown Santa Teresa (visit Katana for dinner). One important note for future guests: insects were a significant issue for us. Despite the house guide mentioning “bugs”, we encountered several scorpions inside the main house + casita, along with ants and small crabs. Our teens were uncomfortable in the casita, so we had to adjust sleeping arrangements. We wore shoes indoors, had nightly bed checks, and shook out clothing. Overall, we loved the home, hosts, and location, but improved sealing (front door gap) and pest control would make a big difference.

Hi Jennifer! Thank you very much for your review and kind words about the area and property overall. Regarding the scorpions and crabs - I have stayed at my property every month of the year and sometimes we see them and mostly we don't at all. . While sometimes this is in our control, most times it is not. Our property is in a quiet and peaceful area which means it is fully immersed in nature. Nature has a way of being on its own agenda :) I want to assure you we fumigate regularly and clean all areas with a fine tooth comb constantly. This being said, I am going to have maintenance look for every nook and cranny that can be sealed which we have before however we take your feedback to heart and will do a full inspection of the property immediately as we have not had a similar review/complaints as you have shared with us. We will also fumigate the perimeter and inside of the property (again) right away. Thank you again for staying at our property!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Diane's place in Manzanillo. The space looks exactly like in the pictures and being a short drive away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Teresa made this a much more secluded and unique experience. Our co-host Agustina was also tremendously helpful in making our stay as seamless as possible. We would love to come back one day.

Thank you so much Alex! Tending to such lovely guests is our pleasure! We hope to see you again :)

The place was beautiful and very peaceful. The write up on the place was spot on with minor short power outages, friendly and harmless tropical critters. A perfect set up for 2 small families and or two couples which is how we were travelling. The bed in the main house was so comfortable and the room has lots of storage for clothes. Bathroom is great with a large shower overlooking the jungle. The walk to Manzanillo beach was nice in the morning to go walk along the beach or go to the store and as mentioned a good cardio experience on the way back (pool was very refreshing after the walk). The Que Mae restaurant is just a 1 minute walk and was fantastic. We met the owners while we were there and they were very friendly and personable. Santa Teresa is a must see for the hustle and bustle and beach/surfing vibe with restaurants everywhere and a variety of shops. Tide pools are close by as well (Mal Pais) but go early before the tide comes in. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you Kelly for the detailed and kind review! We were so pleased to host you and your group :)

Increíble, really nice home, want to come back :)

Thank you Ama for your review!  We hope you come back! :)

We enjoyed the stay in the area, the beaches suitable for children are spectacular and just 5 and 10 minutes from the house. Santa Teresa is also very close, where you can find everything. The house is ideal for families with children, friends, etc. It is very well equipped and the house is divided into a main area and a small house, which is great when there are two families. Agustina was always attentive to us. We had a very nice weekend.

Disfrutamos muchó la estadía en la zona, las playas aptas para niños son espectaculares y a escasos 5 y 10 minutos de la casa. Santa Teresa muy cerca también, en donde se encuantra de todo. La casa es ideal para familias con niños, amigos, etc. Está muy bien equipada y que la casa esté dividida en área principal y en la casita es geniál cuando son dos familias. Agustina siempre atenta a nosotros. Pasamos un fin de se semana muy hermoso.

Thank you Alejandra for the detailed and kind review! We very much appreciate hosting families who enjoy the area.  You and your family were a pleasure to host.  Thank you very much for choosing our property.

We had a fantastic few days at Casa del Arbol. They always answered our questions very quickly, the house is very well equipped. Very comfortable beds to sleep in, as well as the pillows. We used the BBQ several times to take advantage of the outdoor space and enjoyed it very much. We loved the tips and recommendations they gave us as well as the flexibility for our arrival because we arrived a few hours before check-in. Thanks to Agustina for supporting us and Diane for this wonderful refuge in the middle of the jungle.

Pasamos unos días fantásticos en Casa del Arbol. Siempre resolvieron nuestras preguntas muy rápido, la casa muy bien equipada. Las camas muy cómodas para dormir, al igual que las almohadas. Usamos el BBQ varias veces para aprovechar el espacio exterior y lo disfrutamos mucho. Nos encantaron los tips y recomendaciones que nos dieron asi como la flexibilidad para nuestra llegada porque llegamos unas horas antes del check-in. Gracias a Agustina por apoyarnos y a Diane por este refugio maravilloso en medio de la selva.

Thank you so much Carolina for your kind review! We are very happy you enjoyed your stay and for letting us know! :)

The house is very beautiful and quiet, a magical place, where the rooms are part of nature thanks to its layout and the huge windows.  The furniture and decor are impeccable as shown in the photos. Everything is in perfect condition, everything works, the equipment is very complete. The sheets and towels look new and the kitchen has everything you need. Agustina is very attentive and always willing. The truth is that we had a very nice and comfortable time, highly recommended.

La casa es muy hermosa y tranquila, un lugar mágico, donde los ambientes son parte de la naturaleza gracias su distribución y los enormes ventanales.  Los muebles y la decoración son impecables tal cual lo muestran las fotos. Todo está en perfecto estado, todo funciona, el equipamiento es completísimo. Las sábanas y toallas parecen nuevas y la cocina tiene todo lo que se puede necesitar. Agustina muy atenta y siempre predispuesta. La verdad que pasamos unos días muy lindos y cómodos, súper recomendable.

Muchas Gracias Juan! Such a kind review and we were so pleased to host you and your family.  It is always much appreciated when guests let us know how much they enjoyed the property.  Hosting such lovely guests is our pleasure and we hope to see you again :)

Diane’s place is truly special!  We loved the setting and the beautiful home that she has created and generously shared with us.  Magnificent!

Thank you so much Paul for the kind review! You and your family were such a pleasure to host.  We would be thrilled to host you again :)

Diane's place is beautiful, well equipped and lives up to the photos. Manzanillo beach appears to be an undiscovered gem and the nearby town of Santa Teresa is lively and has good restaurants. Augustina was responsive to our requests and Darvin was excellent in fixing a couple of minor issues.

Thank you Desmond for the review of our property! Darvin our maintenance staff works hard to ensure our guests are well taken care of :) I see you rated us 3 stars on check in and you shared with me the route that was provided from Liberia. Rainy season drives with rivers can be challenging and we are sorry for this! Agustina our property manager did her very best to stay connected with you during your entire stay as we strive to ensure our guests are comfortable and happy at all times. Thank you for staying at our property!

Diana’s place was an absolute gem!  It’s tucked away and private but still close to restaurants and Santa Teresa.  The space itself made it feel like you’re living in the jungle.  Highly recommended.

Thank you Sarangan for the kind review!  It was such a pleasure to host you and your group and we hope to see you again :)!

Amazing place and stay here if you are planning to go to Santa Teresa. The price is soo much better than anything we have seen

Thank you so much Faisal for your great review! We aim to offer value to all our guests :)

Diane’s place far exceeded our expectations.   Great location, very tastefully decorated.  Everything  we needed for a comfortable stay was there and available.  The setting is amazing,  looking out over the jungle and seeing the monkeys off the balcony.  The sounds in the morning and evening are amazing. Great pool, grill etc etc.  We would come back here in a heart beat.

Thank you so much Thomas for your kind and amazing review!  We strive for our guests comfort and we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed the house so much! We hope to see you again!

Excellent place, clean, tidy and with all the amenities.

Excelente lugar, limpio, ordenado y con todas las comodidades.

Muchas Gracias Adrian for the kind review!  We really appreciate when our guests let us know they enjoyed the property.

Such a beautiful and magical place. Very comfortable, beautifully decorated and well equipped. Right next to one of the most magical beach, especially for sunset. We loved staying there! And Agustina has been so helpful with booking activities and recommending local restaurants. 5 stars!

Thank you Sabrina for the lovely review! We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay!

Beautiful home, great atmosphere in the area and very helpful host. We can really recommend this beautiful place, and would love to come again.

Smukkeste bolig, fantastisk stemning i området og meget hjælpsom vært. Vi kan virkelig anbefale dette skønne sted, og vil meget gerne komme igen.

Thank you so much Tanja for letting us know you enjoyed the property and area.  We love to hear this and hope to see you all again!

Very beautiful house, it is as seen in the photos, ideal for groups of friends or families, easy access from Santa Teresa, only requires a high vehicle without the need for 4x4 traction. Agustina always kept in touch in a timely and friendly way, we had no inconvenience during the stay.

Casa muy bella, es tal cual como se observa en las fotos, ideal para grupos de amigos o familias, fácil acceso desde Santa Teresa, solo requiere un vehículo alto sin necesidad de tracción 4x4. Agustina siempre se mantuvo en contacto de forma oportuna y amable, no tuvimos ningún inconveniente durante la estadía.

Muchas gracias Oldemar, for the kind review.  We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay!

Beautiful house and location! Very well appointed and designed. The view, pool and surroundings are amazing. Augustina was so helpful and friendly, it was really nice having someone local to greet us and allow us to ask questions if we needed. I highly recommend staying here!!

Thank you so much Vanessa! Agustina really enjoyed meeting all of you. Helping such lovely guests is our pleasure!

We had an exceptional 3 days. The house as well as the environment are beautiful. On-site instructions and exchanges were quick and efficient. The kitchen is perfectly equipped. You have everything you need for cooking. There is coffee, tea, and the necessary products: salt, pepper, spices, oil... The gas bbq is a real plus. In summary, everything was perfect.

Thank you Oliver!  We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay.

It's a beautiful house surrounded by trees near the beach. Everything is well-kept and well-decorated And it has everything you need to have a good time Great place!

Es una casa hermosa rodeada de árboles cerca de la playa. Todo cuidado bien decorado Y tiene de todo para pasarlo bien Grandioso lugar!

Thank you Agustin for the review and we are very happy you enjoyed the property.  We hope to see you again!

Augustina was always available for our questions and she gave us amazing recommendations for local places. We loved the house and the pool, quiet place to relax at night.

Thank you Laurence!  We really enjoyed hosting you and your friends!

We spent two great weeks at Casa de Árbol. Communication with host and staff was excellent and very helpful. The surroundings are beautiful and we were fully immersed in nature. It is also very quiet and peaceful. It is a 15-20 min drive to our favorite beach (Santa Teresa) and tasty restaurants/cafés. Was a beautiful experience with the family! (Also, kids loved the pool)

Thank you Mariela for the kind review.  We love to hear when our guests enjoy the peaceful connection to nature! Our maintenance staff and Agustina very much enjoyed tending such great guests.  We hope to see you again!

We have been traveling down to Playa Manzanillo since 2005. We love the area. It is like a nature preserve 15 min from Santa Teresa with animals and flora, fawn, unchanged by development. Casa Arbol sits on the edge of a ravine in total isolation, safely and securely behind a solid locking gate, with everything in the house you need for true comfort. The separate Casita makes it perfect for our next trip-bringing kids and grandkids! Modern, bright, uncluttered comfort is what you'll find, and it is so relaxing!

Thank you so much for the detailed and kind review. We were thrilled to host you and enjoy all the beauty the area has to offer.  We would just love to host you again with the whole family!  Anytime!

Thank you Manfred for the review! We hope to see you again!

Diane and Agustina were given to the task of having my guests and I have good time. The place medium sense of security. I felt right at home. The house is well equipped. We slept very well. We really enjoyed the pool and barbecue area by a majestic tree and the excellent connection to nature where we also enjoyed well with family and friends.

Diane y Agustina se dieron a la tarea de que mis invitados y yo la pasáramos bien. El lugar medio sensación de seguridad. Me sentí como en casa. La casa está bien equipada. Dormimos muy bien. Disfrutamos mucho del área de piscina y barbacoa junto a un majestuoso árbol y a la excelente conexión con la naturaleza donde además disfrutamos bien entre familiares y amigos.

Mucho Gracias Pastor! We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and loved all the lovely nature the villa offers!

Wonderful stay. Beautiful, convenient and very nice accommodation. Responsive host host who cares about our comfort. Highly recommend.

Merveilleux séjour. Logement magnifique, pratique et très agréable. Hôte réactif et soucieux de notre confort. Fortement recommandé.

Merci beaucoup Eric! We are very happy you enjoyed your stay and Agustina very much enjoyed meeting you and tending to such lovely guests!

Wow.. what a gem is Diane's place in the  jungle, so beautiful decorated with an  amazing pool and terrace, we loved it! It is close to the beach and Santa  Teresa and both Diane and Augustina are super helpful, thanks so much and we hope to come back!

Thank you for you kind review Marius!  We hope to host you and your family again!

Thank you so much Michael for being great guests.  We hope to welcome you again!

Casa De Arbol is a fantastic AirBNB. Agustina was an amazing host and very proactive with recommendations and helpful accommodations. Monkeys every morning and night in the back yard!!

Thank you Aaron for the great review!  Agustina really enjoyed meeting all of you and hosting such amazing guests.  We hope to welcome you back!

Diane and her concierge were very responsive and always helpful. We checked in very late and they had clear instructions, made sure we made it home safely. House is very nice and comfortable, you can watch the monkeys right behind the house on the trees as you relax by the pool. Just a heads up if coming from north, and using Google maps, set your settings to avoid ferries. Take the longer way around for nice roads. For some reason Google thinks any river has a ferry. Don't be like us and have ti drive through terrible roads for hours just to turn around and drive back because it's dangerous to cross a river in your car. Our 3 hour trip turned into 8 hours.

Thank you Bugra for your kind review! Your feedback regarding Google maps is very helpful for guests driving along the northern Pacific coast line. Costa Rica had record rainfalls in June and there are more rivers than ever before. While Google maps can work, Agustina can always try to help with the best route possible. We are glad you made it! We hope to see you again!

Amazing… when we arrived there were several monkeys in the trees. The home was clean, bright and beautiful. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing after days on the beach. The beds were super comfy and we felt at home immediately. Agustina was so helpful with minor issues we had and was even waiting for us upon arrival to show us around and make sure we didn’t have any questions. Cant recommend more!!

Heidi, thank you! It is our pleasure to welcome and host such wonderful guests.  We are so glad the monkeys greeted you as well :) We hope to see you again!

We had a wonderful stay here  — loved the house and its location. We were especially grateful for the amazing concierge/house manager Agustina who made reservations, recommendations and more to ensure we were set for an amazing trip and the top experiences. We loved waking up to the beautiful landscaping, chirping bird and a surprise view of the ocean on a clear day. Our kids loved the pool, especially for a night swim, and seeing monkeys in the trees around the house. Kojii’s sushi down the street was a great spot for us to grab dinner within walking distance and we loved the owner/manager who even gave us some juice when we ran out and had already returned our ATV. It’s a short ride or walk to the quiet beach of Manzanillo and a beautiful drive to Playa Hermosa. It’s also not too far from Santa Teresa — and we appreciated the tranquility over the busy hustle of the larger city area. Wonderful spot and great hosts!

Thank you so much Kendall for the amazing and detailed review! Agustina and I are always so pleased to hear our guests had a wonderful time and when they let us know!  You and your whole family were such a pleasure to host and we hope to see you again.

The place is very nice,  we had a great time, the house in excellent condition.  The response to our inquiries was prompt and helpful.

El lugar muy agradable,  pasamos muy bien, la casa en excelentes condiciones.  La respuesta a nuestras consultas fue rápida y atenta.

Thank you Jorge, for your review! While you rated us 4 stars on cleanliness we had discussed after the review why this was the case (how to improve). You confirmed it had nothing to do with the property as it was extremely clean, only that it had to do with the dust on the roads. March is the driest season and all we do is pray for rain to keep it down! I know you tried to change the rating afterwards after discussing and this was not possible through the platform. Which we appreciate very much. Thank you for being great guests and we hope to see you again!

Gorgeous home and attentive house manager made our stay perfect. Nice layout for a family with a delicious sushi restaurant a 2 minute walk. Easy drive to other destinations in hermosa and Santa Teresa but enjoyed coming back to the private, quiet and cozy house for a beer and evening swim. Loved the pool and bonus casita for work calls.

Thank you Erin, for your kind review.  We hope to see you again!

Very nice super  clean house, we had a pleasant stay in Santa Teresa. I contacted Agustina the manager and she helped us rent a Side by Side as the road to Santa Teresa is difficult to be with an ordinary car. I highly recommend this place and will surely come back if I'm passing by. Thanks Diane and Agustina

Très belle maison super  propre, on a passé un séjour agréable à Santa Teresa. J’ai communiqué avec Agustina la gestionnaire et elle nous a aidé à louer un Side by Side car la route à Santa Teresa est difficile pour être avec une voiture ordinaire. Je recommandé fortement cette place et je reviendrai sûrement si je suis de passage par là. Merci Diane et Agustina

Thank you so much Tarek for the review! Great you rented a side by side! While a car works as well a 4 seater buggy can be faster on the roads. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again!

Our family of 5 chose the Casa del Arbol for a last-minute, first-time trip to Costa Rica, and we're thrilled that we did. It's beautifully designed and laid out for comfort and privacy. Agostina was incredibly helpful and responsive, and helped us arrange everything - from a ziplining tour to surf lessons to all of our meals. She gave great recommendations and always got back to us in minutes. We had a magical time and can't wait to return.

Thank you David and family!  We are so glad the last minute trip worked out and for your kind review.  We really hope to see you again!

This is a beautiful house which is superbly well equipped. We loved the beds. It was a bonus to be within a quick walk from Koji restaurant and a short drive to Hermosa beach.

Thank you so much Suzanne.  It was our pleasure to host you and hope to see you again!

Wonderful place to stay. 10/10. The only sound you hear is the breeze and it is incredible.  Our kids were obsessed with the pool and the night swimming were awesome memories to have. Diane and Agustina were so hospitable and made us feel comfortable and safe at all times. I’ve never had this level of communication and service with an airbnb.

Thank you Tyler! It was our pleasure.  We thrive on communication with our guests and what it is all about to ensure our guests have the best vacation.  Thank you so much for your kind words :)

The house is very comfortable and we felt at home immediately.  The house and gardens were all well maintained, with friendly staff. A concierge was also provided who could answer all our questions. There’s a good restaurant only one minute away where you can have drinks while watching the sunset, with good food. 2 beautiful beaches nearby. Highly recommended!

Hosting lovely guests is always our pleasure!  Thank you for the great review Jennifer and we would be thrilled to welcome you back anytime!

Exceptional stay in a very pleasant villa in nature! Perfect location close to Playa Hermosa, the most beautiful beach in this corner of heaven! Very nice services, as described! Spacious, comfortable, easygoing, and tastefully decorated villa Highly recommended

Séjour exceptionnel dans une villa très agréable en pleine nature ! Localisation parfaite à proximité de Playa Hermosa, la plus belle plage de ce coin de paradis ! Très belles prestations, fidèles à la description ! Villa spacieuse, confortable, facile à vivre, et décorée avec goût Hautement recommandée

Thank you so much Louis for the great review!  We are always so happy to hear our guests had an amazing stay at our property.  We hope to welcome you back!

Beautiful house in a lovely quiet part of town. Loved our visit from the iguana and the pool area was wonderful. Super comfy beds and a well stocked kitchen too. We appreciated Agustina answering our many questions and showing us how to open a coconut!

Thank you so much, Laura for being great guests!  We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay.  We hope to see you again!

Diane’s home is so lovely! It is light and bright and so beautifully decorated! It was wonderful to gather around the table to share meals. The kitchen is well stocked! The beds are so comfortable. Augustina the house manager is a gem. So kind. So accommodating. She helped make our experience perfect!

Thank you Laura and family!  Your kind words about our property manager, Agustina are much appreciated.  She very much enjoyed tending to such a kind family.  Thank you for being amazing guests and we hope to see you again!

A really beautiful place in a secluded private spot.  we found Santa Teresa a bit too busy for our liking so this house in Manzanillo was perfectly located much closer to Manzanillo beach which is always quiet and Playa Hermosa which is amazing for swimming and surfing.  The hosts were extremely helpful in arranging surfing lessons and horseback riding for our family, both of which we highly recommend.  it was also really great to be able to come back to the house during the hottest hours of the day and relax by the pool.  note that this is a very hilly area and so you do need an ATV or car to get around. There are many great restaurants not far from this house that we loved notably TP8 pizzeria, cafe raiz, and blue mist. The host had also arranged for a security guard to keep watch over the house during the day which was greatly appreciated.  the host had  arranged for a cleaner to come several times during the week that we stayed as well.

We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and for your detailed feedback!  You and your whole family were such a pleasure to host.  We would love to welcome you back anytime!

Casa Del Arbol is such an amazing, private and peaceful oasis.  It is very close to the most beautiful beach that has sandy swimming and we loved watching the sunsets. The house is very welcoming, well maintained and exactly as pictured. The second smaller house is an added bonus for lots of extra space. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and relaxing on the deck watching all the wildlife and we heard the howler monkeys every morning. Diane and the co-host were very attentive and responded quickly to any questions and inquiries we had. We can’t wait to visit again!

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how much you enjoyed our property! It was truly a pleasure to host such a kind family.  We hope to see you again soon!

Beautiful place, great communication from Leah. Very friendly and helpful.

Hermoso lugar, excelente comunicación por parte de Leah. muy amable y servicial.

Thank you Andrea, for the kind review.  We hope to see you again!

Diane’s house is truly a dream. When we arrived after a long travel day we were greeted by Leah, the most wonderful person, at the most beautiful house. Stress literally melts away when you enter Diane’s home and see the floor to ceiling windows, hear the sway of the trees and sound of the water in the pool. Not to mention the abundance of wildlife! Leah coordinated our entire stay for us and made it the best vacation we could have ever dreamt of. From the in home chef, the horse back riding, the ATV rental, a photographer for our family photo shoot - Leah went above and beyond and you could tell she was passionate about showing others the beauty and tranquility of Costa Rica. We were incredibly comfortable, happy and relaxed our entire stay. We spent most of our time relaxing at the house with our two year old or driving the ATV to the beach - the most beautiful and quiet beach we could have asked for. We will definitely be back. Thank you Diana and Leah - our trip was perfection!

Andrew, thank you!  You were the perfect guests to host.  Your adorable son was the hit of the town!  I received photos from the private chef and from Leah when horseback riding.  It was truly a pleasure to host you and your sweet family.  We really look forward to having you back anytime!

Communication with the hostess was great! She was very responsive to minor repair needs. We were a group of 8 and the social area felt a little crowded.

Thank you Eduardo for your words regarding Leah our property manager! She works hard to ensure our guests are well taken care of. The listing is for 6 people and 8 upon request. We designed the two social areas being the main house patio and the casita house patio for a larger group to spread out with the intention of it not feeling too crowded. Thank you for staying at our property!

Beautiful place, had an amazing time. Location is great, it very close to the beach. The house is exactly like the photos , it clean and well maintained.

Mucho gracias Gloriana! It was a pleasure to have you and your family stay at Casa Del Arbol. We hope to see you again.

Diane’s place is better than the photos and can definitely recommend! The indoor/outdoor living with pool area etc…is super fun and great for families or large groups. The peekaboo coastal view to the north off the patio is a nice surprise! Diane went out of her way to accommodate and even had a baby-gate made to block our toddler’s access to the pool area.

Thank you very much for your kind review.  We look forward to welcoming you back!

Super close to manzanillo beach, a very calm and beautiful beach

Super cercano a playa manzanillo, una playa muy tranquila y preciosa

Gracias y estamos muy contentos de que haya disfrutado de su estadía en Manzanillo.

Diane's house between Hermosa + Manzanillo is the dream. An oasis of calm. The perfect place to relax, read, play games (provided!), watch the trees -- drive a couple of minutes down the hill to a beautiful beach (with the best surfing) + the wonderful restaurants / cafes nearby. The casita with its own kitchen is a real benefit if staying with friends or maybe older kids. We can't wait to come back, thank you Diane!

Thank you T and we are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.  We look forward to welcoming you back next time!

So quiet and serene and everything was exactly as pictured! We saw monkeys while having our early morning coffee!!! This was crazy. The internet was great, and the beds and linens were so comfortable. The kitchen was amazing to cook in and fully equipped. The outdoor space was so peaceful and beautiful. The beach is gorgeous! The sunsets were out of this world, great swimming and you can walk for miles. We went there every day as it’s really close to the house (every single sunset, cant miss one). Santa Teresa is a busy town and we loved it! The place is in a quieter area and we could take the ATV in to town when we wanted. The restaurants in Santa Teresa are amazing, most of the best spots are there but there are some closer spots as well. The home offered a beautiful, spacious and quiet place to relax as well as so many things to do like surfing and zip lining. We loved it! We can’t wait to go back! ALSO Diane was super accommodating and easy to communicate with!

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how much you loved the property. We hope to welcome you back soon!

The property is even better than the pictures! I can’t say enough about the tranquil feeling of the house. Waking up under the palms and being in nature - we saw SO many birds & monkeys. Unforgettable! Diane & Leah were amazing - the space was clean upon arrival and they organized for cleaning every other day, which included the space & our linens. Such a luxury & elevated the entire experience of the home. As for the area - it’s truly a dream! The beach is so close. These beaches here are unlike anything we’ve seen. Magical. The ‘main’ town, Santa Teresa, is about 15 minutes away, and you will need a method of transportation. We ATV’d, which was a really cool experience. TONS of shops and restaurants. Every meal we had was outstanding - highly recommend El Patio for brunch. We also cooked at the house, was such a treat to BBQ poolside under the palms and enjoy dinner outside. We can’t wait to go back! If you’re thinking of booking - do it. You won’t regret it.

Thank you Jayme!  We look forward to your next stay at Casa Del Arbol!
