Seaview Villa with Pool - Villas for Rent in Manuel Antonio, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

First of all, Jean is an excellent host, very friendly and always attentive to trying to help. The location and the house itself are extraordinary. I think the only thing missing is some maintenance and equipment. I think the house, with good maintenance and fully equipped, is worth the price, but today it's missing a few things.

En primer lugar Jean es excelente anfitrión, muy amable y siempre atento a tratar de ayudar. La ubicación y la casa en sí,  son extraordinarios, creo que lo único que le falta es algo de mantención y equipamiento. Creo que la casa con una buena mantención y equipamiento completo vale lo cobrado, pero hoy le faltan algunas cosas.

The house had spectacular views! Jean was an awesome host! He cleaned the pool daily and swept driveway. Kept us stocked in towels

Jean was a great host!  Always quick to respond.  Has great advice on where to buy trips, where to go, and where to eat.  The place was amazing and you cannot beat the views.  Wildlife right out your patio.  Great ocean views!  Everything was clean and in working order.  I would stay at Jeans place again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful stay! The views were incredible and my kids absolutely loved seeing monkeys, sloths and toucans right from the pool!

Families first time to Costa Rica and it was a great one! Jean's place was spacious and clean. The outdoor spaces were fantastic, expecially the pool. It was so much fun to watch the monkeys play in the morning. If you're a bird watcher this place is for you too - so much to see right outside your door. Note - there are 3 bedrooms - upstairs loft which overlooks the living room (with a great little bathroom and shower) and two bedrooms which are downstairs on the second 'floor' (also with their own bathroom) - something to consider if you have little ones. Our kids really enjoyed the space. The place is a little tricky to find (always use Waze and not maps in CR) but I used google maps to visualize the route and driveway beforehand and it was no problem. Jean has great restaurant suggestions and local info. Wouldn't hesitate to rent again.

We had a wonderful stay at this Manuel Antonio home. The view was absolutely gorgeous and one of the highlights of our trip. We actually saw more monkey activity right from the property than we did on any of the tours we took in Manuel Antonio or even La Fortuna - such a special experience. Jean was an attentive and thoughtful host, very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The location was also excellent — convenient while still feeling peaceful and surrounded by nature. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The house is in a great walkable neighborhood and the sunset views were stunning. We loved relaxing by the pool after a day of activities and beach time. Jean is a perfect host who gave us great recommendations for restaurants and excursions.

Jean’s place offers beautiful views and incredible wildlife, we especially loved watching (and sharing the space with!) the monkeys. After our morning adventures, relaxing in one of the two pools each afternoon was a real highlight of the trip. A couple of small improvements would have made the stay even better. The outdoor patio seating could use an update to make it more comfortable for lounging and enjoying the surroundings. Also, the A/C unit in one of the bedrooms is motion-sensored. Since the key must remain in the slot for power and the unit requires motion to stay on, it would sometimes turn off during the night, which left the room feeling warm and made for slightly restless sleep. Overall, we had a wonderful time and appreciated the unique setting, amazing wildlife and an extremely helpful host.

Place was amazing and Jean was very kind and helpful!

We had a lovely time at Jean's place. The outdoor spaces are great for enjoying the view and visiting the monkeys at lunch. Close to the beach, restaurants and services in Quepos.

Nous avons passé un très bon moment chez Jean. Les espaces extérieurs sont supers pour profiter de la vue et de la visite des singes au déjeuner. Près de la plage, de restaurants et des services à Quepos.

Come for the pool, stay for the sunset! The photos don't do justice to the incredible panoramic views of both the ocean and mountains. We loved having the large pool for lounging in the afternoons and we could dip into the small pool to cool off at night and look at the stars. The wildlife is amazing with cute capuchin monkeys passing through once or twice a day, along with so many amazing birds and other creatures. The house is sparsely furnished but clean and spacious.

This was a beautiful home with amazing views. Jean was very hospitable and helpful!

Jean was a fabulous host, arranged for two fantastic excursions and even made himself available to accept my luggage delivery after the airline lost it. Amazing wildlife! Howler and white faced monkeys, toucans, macaws…honestly better wildlife than we saw in the national park!

Great view! Convenient location. Jean is a jolly good host. The interior needs some TLC. One of the a/c units is held in the wall with towels and very dirty. The pool is two stories down from the main living area and only accessible by going through one of the guest bedrooms and the garage! Kitchen and living space is equipped with the bare minimum. We stayed for two weeks and paid $7000, a price that is justified by the great location and view but not by the dated interior!

Thank you for pointing out about the A/C unit which was cleaned in December. We will re-clean again before the next guests. The pool location has never been an issue with guests and the Through bedroom is designed so that parents have closer access to their kids.

Perfect stay for a great adventure. House is great. Pool and hot tub. Monkeys to watch in the am with your coffee as they migrate to the beach for the day. And fantastic sunsets. Jean is great and will help you with excursions, food, shopping, fishing, or whatever else you may like.

glad to hear you guys had a great time ! just to clarify for other guests our jacuzzi is actually designed to create a soothing bubble experience, rather than heat the water like a traditional hot tub as we live in the tropics and are more looking to cool down during the day. hope to see you guys again some time as we discussed !!

If you are looking at too many Airbnb reviews and not sure which to book, make it easy and book this one! Gorgeous balconies and pools, daily monkey visits, toucans and scarlet macaws galore, and a stunning open concept house with lots of space. Clean, easy check-in and out, and close to everything you could want in town. If you need a lot of privacy in the Airbnb, do know that the upper bedroom is lofted and one of the lower bedrooms must be passed through to access the main stairwell and exit. This should not stop you from booking - just be aware! Jean was a delight and we hope to return one day.

For most familliies the door provided to that bedroom keeps their kids closer to them upstairs and is often left open. Not often an issue with most renters.

Upon arrival, Jean was lovely and seemed like a great host and happily shared many solid recommendations. The view is absolutely stunning & the monkeys that visited were hilarious. But, we didn't feel it matched the photos. It could be a beautiful space if some TLC was provided. When key card to house is removed, it shuts all AC off. We were sweating within moments. It was a hot space. The front of the house & part of one side are sliding glass doors which open to a gorgeous view but they don't completely seal shut & not all of them have locks. Due to this, there were lots of bugs. Ants on counters, bugs on bed & walls. We acknowledge this is the jungle but the openings seemed to attribute to it. Pots/pans were coated with dust, pool wasn't very clean. The lowest floor smelled mildewy, house felt a bit grimy, couches on main floor were dirty. The owner lives at house on lowest level which we weren't aware of prior. We departed after 1 night of a 5 night stay.

Sorry to hear the villa was not to your standard but as you can see from my reviews that is not the overall opinion. We have a pool surrounded by trees and at the privilege of some shade we have some debri at times even though its cleaned daily.

The place is just great. We had a great time. Jean greeted us when we arrived and showed us the property. He was very helpful. The jacuzzi and pool are very refreshing. The monkeys came to visit in the morning. The huge windows make you feel inside the forest. The only issue is that one bedroom is also a passage so it’s a bit annoying to the person /child staying there. Very recommended!

La Villa Azul was a fantastic home base for our family (2 adults, 3 teens). The place itself is exactly as pictured and the surroundings cannot be beat. Comfy, clean, and easy. We were lucky enough to be visited by toucans, macaws, parakeets and a whole band of entertaining monkeys on many mornings. Sunsets were gorgeous. The afternoon shade at the pool was awesome. Enjoyed local restaurants, including a walkable bakery for sweet treats. Jean arranged 3 tours for us and was quite simply the most responsive host we’ve ever had. Enjoy your time! Pura vida.

Amazing accommodation with private pool facing directly west over the pacific for the most astonishing sunsets you'll ever see. Host was the most helpful of any we've ever interacted with. He provided daily recommendations for restaurants and activities and even facilitated booking us a guide. Could not recommend this stay enough and would definitely return on our next visit to Costa Rica!

We absolutely loved our time at Jean's place. We loved the massive deck with amazing views of mountains, ocean, and most of all, wildlife. We loved swimming in the shaded pool in the afternoon while listening to howler monkeys. The space was large and had views from every angle.  We caught the bus many times just down the hill (Quepos is one direction and the beach is the other). Jean was super friendly, very responsive, and had some great restaurant suggestions. We can't say enough about the place, the area, the wildlife, the people, and Costa Rica!

This house was amazing, as was our host, Jean. He greeted us on arrival with helpful recommendations and a walkthrough of the home. The place is absolutely immersed in nature. Just the perfect spot to make your temporary home as you explore Manuel Antonio and beyond.

We had a wonderful stay at Jean’s place! Our family of 5 had plenty of room and felt comfortable. The home is super clean. We loved the daily visits from local wildlife! We saw several monkeys, toucans,and scarlet macaws all from the back terrace. The kids  loved playing the pools. Jean the best host we’ve ever had. He was so helpful with booking our excursions, has a quick response time, and gave us a warm welcome and goodbye. We walked to restaurants and shops with no problems. Lots of great family memories made at Jean’s place!

Jean was a great host and very responsive. The place is nice and secluded with a great view and place where animals come through. We saw all 3 kinds of monkeys, toucans, macaws, and parakeets.  Would definitely recommend.

Enjoyed our stay and the views and wildlife around us was very special to experience

Jean’s place is nicely situated in a neighborhood up on the hill.  There’s a bus stop just down the road.  Lots of taxis hanging out next to Vista Verde that you can use too.  (Side note you can order from Vista Verde and they will deliver since they know where Jean’s place is.)  We saw macaws almost everyday and white faced monkeys every other day.  We stayed with our three kids on a family trip (5 nights) and it met our needs for some chill time.  Jean has some recommendations and can arrange some activities so ask about that before you arrive…or he can help when you arrive too.

Jean met us upon arrival, helped us get settled in, and gave us many great recommendations for the area. He even procured a pack n play for our 2 year old and set up a catamaran tour for us on short notice. We enjoyed searching for wildlife from the balconies and saw parrots fly by on several occasions, though we enjoyed our morning visit from the monkeys the most. Had a lovely stay and would return!

It was a pleasure to stay in Jean's home. The surrounding nature and the view are really a great asset for this beautiful house. The pool is located in a very wooded setting, a real paradise. If you fancy seeing a lot of animals, you are in the right place, as we saw monkeys, macaws,toucans from the terrace of the house. Jean was very welcoming and gave us tips for activities. The entrance to Manuel Antonio Park is within a 10 minute drive. We had a great time at this house

Ce fut un plaisir de séjourner dans la maison de Jean. La nature environnante et la vue sont vraiment un très grand atout pour cette magnifique maison. La piscine est située dans un cadre très arboré, un vrai paradis. Si vous avez envie de voir beaucoup d’animaux, vous êtes au bon endroit, car nous avons vu des singes, des aras,des toucans depuis la terrasse de la maison. Jean s’est montré très accueillant et nous a donné des bons plans pour des activités. L’entrée du parc Manuel Antonio se trouve à moins de 10 minutes en voiture. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison

I felt like my home and Jean was very much helpful and helped us finding local tours and felt very safe . I really recommend this place in Manuel Antonia and location and view of pacific ocean is very good and this location has mini jungle seen lot of animals and birds. Jean is very friendly and very knowledgeable about all.

Jean was amazing and so was the house. Super clean and amazing views. Easy to walk everywhere! Will definitely come back.

Very easy stay, beautiful location, walking distance to restaurants and shops.

We loved our stay at Jean’s place, very peaceful and beautiful surrounding! Very nice view of the ocean and mountain. Lots of beautiful birds come by. We saw toucans, macaws and other birds. There was even a woodpecker that woke us up one morning w/ his loud banging on the house. Family of capuchin monkeys came by on our last day. They look very cute and naughty. I like the layout of the house specially the 3rd floor w/ open kitchen, nice loft and big balcony and pool. There’s also big balcony on the 2nd floor w/ 2 bedrooms and 1st floor has bigger pool w/ nice balcony and many trees. House has everything you need. Jean is very nice, responsive and helpful. I will miss this house. I will miss hanging out on the 3rd floor balcony hammock, just staring at the nice view w/ refreshing breeze and just watching beautiful birds. I’m hoping to be back. :) BTW, location is also good, close to beaches and restaurants. If renting a car, it’s better to have 4x4 because it’s a steep narrow hill.

Wow! Jean's place is magical. Our family of four had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy everything. The two pools are incredible! Plenty of room and tools to cook. AC was great during the warmer times. As one of the highest points in MA, it's got a great view of the Pacific sunset. Close to everything, and you can definitely walk to restaurants or the grocery store. Jean is a super cool guy and is very helpful. I should have taken him up more on what's going on in the area. Would definitely come back. Thanks so much, Jean!

Jean is an incredible host. He goes above and beyond to help explore this area! He’s always responsive to questions and giving recommendations. He even went as far as booking our driver from the airport and helping us book multiple excursions. Jean is a gem and the area is so fun to explore. I can when we couldn’t go out, we were looking at incredible wildlife right off the balcony- sloths, macaws, toucans and monkeys. Super fun stay.

Beautiful home with open spacing, Free clutter. Walkable Too many restaurants Daily visitors, such as Scarlet McCaws , white Face monkeys, toucans .., Pool and jacuzzi was clean (Due to the rain, we didn’t get a chance to use it). Jean was wonderful! Super fast responses And gave us great recommendations. We would definitely stay here again. Soda Angel and Marisquería Sabromar where are our favorite Local restaurants! The bakery near El Avion is a must try also

Jean kept in touch with us to answer questions about activities we were interested in doing. He made arrangements with tour company's to get us the best price and see to it that we would be picked up and returned to the Villa afterwards. Always engaged, he made our trip go smoothly and problem free.

Absolutely loved the house!! Monkeys, toucans, macaws. Private pool. Kids loved it! Great food nearby and beaches were fantastic. Perfect spring break. Would have loved to stay longer! Jean was a great host. Highly recommend.

First day: Toucans just off the deck. Monkeys with babies in trees and on the pool deck. Beautiful sunsets, flocks of Macaws! A perfect place for our family. Jean greeted us and gave us a tour of the villa, explaining what we needed to know and answering our questions. Be aware that everyone has to go through one of the downstairs bedrooms to pass from the upper main level to the pool or other downstairs bedroom. After a full day of nature hikes, gathering at the pool was great, my wife’s favorite feature.

Pura Vida! Jean’s place is fantastic! We had a great time walking to the market & restaurants. Our family rented a car to be able to get around easier and to see more of the area, I feel it was worth it to us. We will definitely be back one day!

Villa Azul Serene Oasis in Manuel Antonio: A Five-Star Stay with Host Jean Our recent stay at Jean's Airbnb in Manuel Antonio was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. Jean's property is a true oasis, nestled in the heart of Manuel Antonio's lush jungle surroundings. The serene atmosphere provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We were immediately struck by the stunning architecture and design of the space, which seamlessly blended modern comfort with natural beauty. The accommodations were immaculate and thoughtfully appointed, with every detail considered to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The private balcony offered breathtaking views of the surrounding jungle and ocean beyond. We found ourselves spending hours simply relaxing on the balcony and sitting in the private pool listening to the sounds of the wildlife and soaking in the ambiance

Excellent spot in Manuel Antonio.  It’s in a great spot where you can walk to the market, restaurants, and the ATM.  Everything else is a short drive.  The house has 3 levels basically with a main with kitchen and master loft, main with two bedrooms, and pool level below.  The pool is great as it is shady in the afternoon when it’s smoking hot out.  From the deck we had monkeys every morning, toucans, parrots, and other wildlife.  Sunsets were great.  Jean was a great host.  He met us on day one and showed us around.   We helped arrange a tour, recommended restaurants, and was very responsive.  The place felt better and better each day.

Our family of 5 absolutely loved our stay at Jean’s villa.  The nightly sunset views and wildlife experiences (daily visits from monkeys and toucans) were absolutely amazing!  It was clean and spatious.  The pools and spa were perfect places to relax at the end of each day.

Fantastic host. This house is in the perfect location for sunsets and wildlife. Perfection.

An amazing location on the top of the mountain with stunning views and with ample deck space, a hot tub, and a pool.

We absolutely loved our stay at Jeans home! The space itself is beautiful. The view from the upper balcony is breathtaking, and it was so nice to have the pool and hot tub. We also saw so much wildlife, including a group of monkeys that would stop by and hang out by the pool for a little while every morning! The house is also in short walking distance to some really good bars and restaurants. Jean was such an incredible host. He's so friendly and welcoming, and responded quickly to all of our questions. He also gave so many good local recommendations, and even set up a boat tour for us that was so much fun! I highly recommend booking Jeans place, you will not regret it!

5 Star stay, Jeans place was amazing! The views from all patios were wonderful. You see more wildlife right outside the door off the patios than we anywhere else! The pool and hot tub were very nice, and the location of the home is perfect! Right next to the bus to go to the beach, restaurants etc. Jean was the nicest host and helped us so much with activity’s we should do and even booked some of them for us! Highly recommend staying here.

This place was exactly what we were looking for.   We were visited by Toucans on a daily basis and the monkeys used the pool area as a "playground" for over an hour.  Jean was responsive.  Directions were easy.  Thanks Jean!

What an amazing stay! Jean was an outstanding host that assisted with local recommendations and bookings for a stress free stay and made possible to get the most out of our week with 2 school age girls. The house was magical with views of the ocean, sunsets and mountains but also up in the canopy with monkey's, toucans, macaws and wildlife galore. You feel secluded but walking distance to restaurants, shopping and nightlife.

Jean's place was exactly as expected. Great location, beautiful view, and easy access to restaurants and supermarket. We were delayed 3 hours on arrival. Jean was patient and polite and met us at 10pm! ! He walked us through the entire home and was eager to point out places to eat and visit during our trip. We saw parrots, monkeys, and even a toucan while enjoying breakfast on the balcony. Jean has a list of beaches and restaurants along with a map of town. He makes himself accessible during the entire trip. To say Jean is hospitable is an understatement. He goes out of his way to ensure a positive stay in Quepos. And if A/C is important to you, it is to us, then you will not be disappointed. This house cools down to frigid at night...it's great! Oh and don't miss out on Quepos Sports Bar/Grill. Fun atmosphere, great staff and even better food AND you can walk from the house in 5 minutes. They will also prepare your catch of the day. We can't wait to return.

I wish we had booked Jean’s place for longer! The house worked well for our group (one couple, one teen) and we appreciated having our own spaces. We loved the views and especially all the birds - toucans, aracaris, and scarlet macaws! The jacuzzi/plunge pool was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy it all.

This house has unbelievable views, is walkable to grocery and restaurants, and conveniently located to the beach(5min drive).  We saw parrots and monkeys right from the main porch.  Jean was friendly and very informative. We would highly recommend!

Jean was super helpful and friendly.  The place is very nice and is as described.  We enjoyed the pools, saw monkeys in the morning and made good use of the well accommodated kitchen.  The location is very convenient and walkable to grocery stores and restaurants.

We spent a week in Jeans Villa. What a beautiful place! The views are stunning, the layout is spacious, the pool and soaking tub are both very refreshing and the morning visits from wildlife are like something from a storybook. This was our first visit to Costa Rica and even with all of the research we did ahead of time we couldn’t have been happier with the Quepos/Manuel Antonio location. There is plenty to do if you prefer to stay local but if you want to take day trips to go out and explore it’s very central to many destinations within reasonable driving distance. Jean is a great host, he provided outstanding recommendations for activities, dining, etc. and was accessible for other questions during our stay.

We enjoyed our stay at this house. There were a couple things we weren’t away of when renting. The master bedroom is in the loft of the main room and when you lock up the key controls the power for the house which shuts off the wall a/c unit for the main room.  Depending on the weather for the day it can get really hot inside. We found that opening the balcony doors helped cool it back off. The 2 downstairs bedrooms have wall units which keep the bedrooms nice and cool since they are small rooms. That would be my main complaint about the place. I’m not sure if this is normal for Costa Rica as it’s our first time there. The balcony space was gorgeous and we had 2 different types of monkeys in the trees. The sunsets are gorgeous. The kitchen is fully stocked. The only other note was the pool was murky but we went during the rainy season. The host said it was fine but we weren’t really for that so we didn’t end up using it.

Jean was very responsive and helpful from the get go. The house was accurate to the description. The kitchen was fully stocked. The pools were great. The view from the top deck was amazing. We saw white face capuchin monkeys on the decks and in the surrounding trees about half the mornings we were there. We also had scarlet macaws perch in the trees about half the mornings. One day a toucan perched on the tree right off the top deck. The location is perfect. Very close to both Manuel Antonio state park and the town of Quepos. We were there as a family with small kids. The house was great for a family but like most places in Costa Rica, there aren’t really many railings on staircases so be careful with little kids. All in all it was a wonderful stay and we would definitely recommend the house to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio.

The house was in an amazing location in the town above the beach, where all the restaurants and shops are. We were five adults, and the house was comfortable for all of us, as it was wide open and spacious. There were multiple terraces where nature was just feet away. The pool was lovely although we could not figure out how to turn on the heat for the hot tub. It’s a quirky house, and could use a few new appliances but that’s part of theof its charm. Jean our host was helpful in every possible way. It’s hard to imagine finding a house at a better price and location for a vacation like this. I would definitely recommend it.

If you are thinking of booking this home, do not hesitate or wait, book it! This is a prime location with great facilities, and a helpful, knowledgeable and friendly host. Jean is a local who knows the region and knows how to be helpful without being intrusive. He obviously loves the area and his property. The house has everything you will need to make your stay comfortable. The view is great and access is easy as the house is centrally located. There’s a great pool, small jacuzzi, large top floor balcony and plenty of chances to spot wildlife. The area’s restaurants are some of the very best in the region and you are from 5 minutes to the beach to 30 minutes to waterfalls and outdoor activities. Jean helped us book activities with outfits that were very organized and provided great experiences. As I said, do not miss this one, it is worth the price.

Jean was a very helpful host who had lots of ideas of where to go in the local area, he also had body boards and chairs for guests to take to the beach. The sea views are lovely, the toucans visited every day and we saw a few monkeys!!!

Jean’s beautiful home was the perfect place to end our magnificent and adventurous Costa Rican trip. And what a finish it is! It’s a gorgeous home with ocean views in a private, quiet tree canopy setting. We felt at home here and enjoyed hanging out in the enormous outdoor spaces with our own pool and jacuzzi. The daily monkey visits were a special treat, and you don’t need to go anywhere else for incredible bird watching. I highly recommend this gorgeous home to anyone, and would definitely stay here again. Thank you Jean for everything!

Perfect location.  Easy access to restaurants, shops, beach.  Beautiful view if the ocean.  Jean was very kind and helpful and was quick to respond to all of our needs.

Great House! Great Host! Jean was there to greet us at arrival. He was very helpful with transportation and great knowledge of local places. Great views and wildlife. Will defiantly be staying with Jean again! PURA VIDA!!

We loved our time at Jeans. Perfect location with great views. We spend time in Quepos diving and fishing and the beach in Manuel Antonio is absolutely perfect. We did lots of the tours recommended by Jean and loved each one. The Villa had everything we needed, lots of space for our family of four. Pool is great, monkeys came to play and we had toucans visit as well as macaws! The little restaurant at the bottom of the street is great for breakfast or burgers and the bakery is open early if you want to grab a fresh baked french loaf….which we did almost everyday. We had a blast! Thanks Jean!

We had a wonderful stay at Jean's house.  It's at the top of the hill so the views of the ocean and canopy are amazing. Great place to view wildlife- we saw toucans, scarlet macaws, flocks of green parrots, capuchin monkeys and even a sloth!  Jean was so helpful with recommendations for restaurants, tours and places to see.  He even let us use his boogie boards for some fun bodyboarding at Playa Espadilla.  For fantastic snorkeling, I would recommend a trip to Isla Cano from Uvita through Costa Rica Dive and Surf.

Amazing house, amenities and view. We were visited by sloth bears, toucans, Iguanas and birds of all kinds. Jean was always friendly, quick to respond and always suggested the best activities. Amazing experience, we want to come back!

Increíble la casa, las comodidades y la vista. Nos visitaron Osos perezosos, Tucanes, Iguanas y pájaros de todo tipo. Jean fue siempre amable, rápido en responder y nos sugirió siempre las mejores actividades. Increíble experiencia, ya queremos volver¡¡

Jean was an excellent host!  Would stay again.

Cannot beat the location and the balconies. This was my third year staying at Jean’s and I plan to continue coming back. It’s a perfect spot for animal and bird watching, easy walk to anything you want or need, and the perfect spot to watch the sunset.

Jean place was amazing. It was close to everything .we walked to markets and local restaurants . Jean was so helpful and accommodating. He was a pleasure. We had monkeys visit us most days and lots of birds . I would highly recommend his place .the sunsets were amazing. We had everything we needed plus more. We will det be going back . Please visit the waterfall and seafood restaurant Jean recommend you will not be disappointed.Thanks Jean for having us.

Tremendous views, including sunsets! lots of space, easy to walk to restaurants and a very helpful and responsive host. Has everything you need, comfy beds, towels etc... Hot tub isn't hot but the weather is so... didn't use the pool or hot tub but the hammock was nice.

Jeans place is a close but hidden gem. Sitting at the top of a hill overlooking the ocean but still just a short walk to stores and restaurants. A fantastic pool and a perfect cold plunge jacuzzi with a view to die for! Big open deck and big open plan. Jean was super friendly, full of great suggestions, and super responsive to everything! Highly recommended!

Spacious house, great pool and overall an excellent stay. The location is great, easy to walk to restaurants and shops, and the bus that takes you to the beach in 5 minutes.

Had a wonderful stay in MA at Seaview Villa. Views of the ocean and sunset from the top floor are beautiful. We used the plunge pool often to enjoy cocktails and watch for wildlife. On our stay we enjoyed visits from Scarlett Macaws, Toucans and white faced monkeys one day. We enjoyed fantastic chef service from Forever Chef service two of the days and the kitchen was well stocked for them to prepare our meals. Jean is always prompt to answer any questions or suggest places to visit and is always around to help if you need anything!

The holidays were great , the house is huge , the pool is perfect, lots of monkeys arrive at the pool , it's a unique experience! Super recommended

Las vacaciones fueron geniales , la casa es enorme , la piscina perfecta, llegan muchísimos monos a la piscina , es una experiencia única ! Súper recomendado

Loved the place. It is spacious looks great, has lots of wildlife and a perfect sunset view. Kitchen is amazing and even has a BBQ. Can't recommend it enough. Host is friendly and helpful. Would I stay again? YES!

The place is beautiful, we saw so much wildlife. It was absolutely breathtaking. We saw tucans, Macaws, monkeys, almost every day. The wildlife you see is incredible. The view to the ocean es spectacular. We really enjoyed our stay.

Jean was great - even greeted us at 3 am when our flight was delayed! Very quick to respond to any questions. House was lovely as described and we appreciated being an easy walk to supermarket and shops.

Jean was awesome!! He was so helpful with excursion and restaurant ideas. The house has monkeys visit daily and we had a sloth the day of my birthday come visit :)

Jean was most helpful in guiding our excursions and dining pleasures. Great, fun location. Thanks Jean.

Jean’s house is spacious, clean, and he was a great host. We would definitely stay at his house again. Jean greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the house. There’s a full kitchen, half bathroom, living room, big outdoor area with jacuzzi, and a loft bedroom with a full bathroom on the upper level. We had breakfast in the outdoor area often and had monkeys visit almost daily. On the lower level there are two bedrooms and one full bathroom. Outside that level is another big outdoor space and the stairs that take you down to another level where the pool is. We saw monkeys on a regular basis as well as birds, and a sloth on the first day. As far as location, there are supermarkets and restaurants close by, and the beach is a short drive. I would definitely ask Jean for tips and suggestions on getting around.

The villa offers a spacious base camp to get out & experience the wonders of Pura Vida. Reach out to the villa host for property details.

This is a beautiful house with incredible views. It's well appointed and spacious. We were treated to a sloth in the tree just at the balcony level, which remained there for the entirety of our stay,  just incredible. A great, comfy place from which to explore Manuel Antonio. Highly recommend.

Jean's place is beautiful--just like you see in the photos. It is within walking distance to a lively street with small supermarkets and restaurants. We got a beach service to pick us up to go to the beach, which the property manager set up for us, and that was amazing. They also set up a tour of the park for us, and the guide we had was excellent. We'd definitely suggest doing that, as it can be quite crowded and busy around the entrance to the park. And our guide definitely knew what he was doing (as opposed to some people who pose as guides in the front of the park). He saw animals we never would have seen on our own. The house was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you'd need for cooking at home (which we did two nights). The pools looked great, but we didn't use them because we were at the beach the whole time or at the park on this short weekend. If we had stayed longer, I'm sure we would have enjoyed those, too. The views are fantastic, and the monkeys visited us on the terrace/patio our final day. They are hysterical.

Spacious and clean house with every facility. Lovely to see monkey neighbours and macaws and toucans.

Excellent house, perfect views. We had very nice days.

Amazing property, a fantastic experience! We stayed for 4 nights with our 4 teenagers, and the house was extremely spacious and provided ample indoor and outdoor space for all. The house is at the highest point with a spectacular panoramic view of the ocean and mountains, yet still an easy few minute walk to the grocery store, restaurants (lots of them!), etc. The two large decks facing the ocean are at canopy level, so you are up close with the most amazing birds (toucans, macaws) and monkeys in the trees. We saw as much wildlife here than at the national park. The pool is amazing, and visited by monkeys in the morning, the kids loved it! The kitchen is well-equipped and beds are comfortable. Jean was very responsive, gave us a welcome tour, and had many suggestions for restaurants and activities. You really can't go wrong with this property...magical!

Wonderful home in great location. Easy to walk to grocery store and restaurants. Beaches are close by and stunning (when you have a dry day). Jean is very kind and helpful in providing suggestions to local excursions. He helped set up a Mangrove kayak tour for my son and I. House is large w/ a couple of staircases so may be difficult to navigate for those w/ mobility impairments or young kids. Manuel Antonio park is only 10 minutes away but we never went to the park as the home had daily visits by capuchin monkeys, toucans and a sloth bid us farewell on our last morning. We had an amazing time!

We loved staying here - fantastic views, and nature right off the balcony. Jean was excellent and super helpful, booking a top guide to tour Manuel Antonio National Park. Great suggestions for restaurants and beaches. We’d definitely stay there again!

Jean's house was the perfect spot to call home for the last week! It was perfect for our family of six. It was walking distance to the supermarket and some great restaurants! Jean was very friendly and willing to help with anything we needed. He even booked our zip lining tour on the last day. While we were at his home we saw sloths, parrots, toucans, and white face monkeys. We had a great time in the pool in the evenings and just spending time outside. Thank you Jean for everything! Some of the best beaches we've ever been to were within a 5-minute drive as well.

Our family of five throughly enjoyed our stay at Jean’s place! He welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the home that also included recommended activities and restaurants. Jean’s warmth and enthusiasm was a real highlight of our visit. Plus his place is centrally located which made walking to everything but the beach super easy to do. The view of the ocean was amazing and we enjoyed watching the monkeys each morning as they stopped at Jean’s place on their morning trek.

We had a wonderful stay at Jean’s villa; the space is amazing but the real gem is Jean, who is easily the best host I’ve stayed with. He gave us great recommendations for food and things to do. Will definitely book again if we find ourselves back in Manuel Antonio.

Amazing villa with an amazing location! The villa is very spacious and spreads across 3 floors. It has it all… jacuzzi, pool, hammock, sunset views, and restaurants/ shops 5-10 minute walk. What made our stay even more special was the visit of a sloth and toucans that joined us for breakfast. Jean was super welcoming and helpful!

Jean’s home was absolutely amazing. It has gorgeous views and is in walking distance to many restaurants and a supermarket. Jean was very responsive and so helpful at check in. He gave us a lot of great suggestions for excursions and food. The home was much bigger than expected and looks much better than the photos! We would definitely stay here again!

This house is AMAZING! Jean is the perfect host. The house was well appointed --- towels and linens, pool/beach towels, deck chairs and lounges, a hammock, everything you'd need in the kitchen. Very comfortable space both inside and out. The pool is wonderful! Sitting outside the kitchen in the mornings and evenings is pure heaven. Conveniently located to all the things. Jean was easy to communicate with and helped us book a couple of adventures. He made a number of great recommendations for local food and sights. If we are every anywhere near Quepos again, we WILL BE STAYING HERE!

Jean is a great host. Always responded really fast to all my questions. He gave us a warm welcome upon check in.

Staying at Jean's was everything I had hoped for. Jean is eager to help with ideas and activities that will make your stay a good one. The house is very open and spacious. My favorite thing about this place was the views, especially the sunset views. There was never a lack of wildlife. Saw a large variety of birds. A sloth decided one evening to come eat and sleep on a branch about 15 feet off the balcony. The monkeys showed up on our last day. The location was great with easy walking access to many markets and restaurants. A short drive gave you access to many other activities. All-in-all we had a great time and would recommend this location.

We had a great experience staying at Jean’s place. The house is spacious and well-equipped with amenities, but the best part is definitely the view of the ocean over the jungle canopy where you can watch the sunset. We had a family of monkeys that visited at the pool area in the early mornings and saw loads of other wildlife. Jean was extremely responsive and had great recommendations for us. Great location as well - we could walk easily to nearby restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay.

The location of the home is fantastic. Quietly tucked away with amazing views and walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and supermarkets. We walked around day and night and always felt safe. Jean was a great host. Greeted us at the house for check-in and upon departure. Communication was easy and he had many great suggestions for local restaurants and things to do in the area. The house itself is large and spacious, which was great for traveling with family. You’ll have amazing views from all floors and even with all the large windows and open decks it’s very private and quiet. The lower level pool was great for an afternoon swim and the upper level hot tub was great for watching the sun set. It was a real treat to wake up to monkeys playing on the pool deck. For us, the upper level AC struggled to keep it as cool as we’d like, especially during the day. There are fans provided and that did help some. We also experienced ants in different area of the house during our visit. We did mention this to Jean and he was going to address it. With the heat and humidity in the region, I understand they’ll seek cooler temps, but it was a bit unexpected nonetheless. Overall there are many great things about the house and location and I’d recommend it for sure.
