3BR villa in Manzanillo

3BR Ocean View Villa w/ Pool + Included Breakfast - Houses for Rent in Manzanillo, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Casa Zen is just what we needed to end our Costa Rica stay. Overlooking the local jungle with views of the mountains and the sea, this is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the visit of capuchin monkeys, hummingbirds, bats, iguanas and hear howler monkeys in the distance! The sunsets from the balcony are also something special… Veronique is a great host, very communicative with great local recommendations (muelle del marisco was delicious!) and very friendly, makes you feel right at home. To get here you would need a 4wd, the road from the Playa Naranjo ferry is mostly paved by it turns into dirt road towards the end and there are a few steep inclines that would be challenging without, specially if it rains. The road from Puente Amistad vía National 160 is mostly dirt road, with 3-4 river crossings (with the car). This route definitely needs a 4wd but was super fun to do. Rivers appear low at this time of year. And the infinity pool…the perfect complement! Don’t miss it!

Zen Villa is stunning. Thoughtful, sustainable, comfortable and in conversation with its environment. It is surrounded by jungle, home to howler monkeys, iguanas, agouti, squirrels, parrots, turkey vultures, trogons, butterflies...the closest place to paradise we've ever stayed. It has views to the ocean, is a short walk to the beach, and has a perfect swimming pool with a pool house where breakfast is served. Vero is delightful and has considered everything. A 4WD is necessary. Don't hesitate to book.

Je vous remercie pour votre gentillesse et pour votre intérêt à ce beau pays.. De l australe au Costa Rica… un très bon feeling😀🐵

Beautiful Lodge in harmony with nature with amazing views

Lodge magnifique en harmonie avec la nature avec vue incroyable

Absolutely stunning place! Even better than the pictures! Really beautiful and calm environment. The road to the place can seem a bit challenging but it’s really worth it since the house is so close to nature. The house was equipped with everything you need and Veronique was a great host. Can’t wait to get back!

Merci maia family.. J espere vous revoir tres vite🙏🙏😉🐵🦜

Großartig. Wunderschön. Extrem zu empfehlen!

Calamocha Lodge was even more beautiful than we had hoped. You are in a beautiful house but almost in the jungle at the same time. Glorious views, a hummingbird in the corner of the lounge (!), beautiful shared pool, gorgeous breakfasts and a host who could not have been more helpful and responsive. A great stay, thank you Veronique.

The family super nice.. a wonderfull time to speak with us to share moments and places..and and .. you are welcome !!! Thank you

Amazing quiet and stunning Véronique was very accommodating to our needs :)

Nice piece of property in the middle of the jungle. Make sure you drive a 4X4 , roads are in a poor bad quality, also it is important to consider there’s no a/c . The experience was nice, we like it. The manager always attentive. We appreciated it.

The home is beautiful and area is stunning. The wifi isn't strong, but go down the street to the restaurant where the wifi is incredible

We would definitely go back. It was a very calm, comfortable, serene and quiet place. So far that's our nicest place. But the access is atrocious. The 'roads', bridges, river crossings, etc make this a challenge. Very indoor/outdoor. BEAUTIFUL jungle views. early am and evening. the Howler Monkeys @ 5:30 am were a bit startling. but hey - its the jungle. Veronique was kind enough to give us a nice tour. Be sure to ask for a long one, or short one. The pool was great. The kitchen well supplied with equipment. I could have done without the small animal poo (mice?) outside - but..... again, indoor outdoor living. I would definitely recommend this place, but don't plan on 'walking to town'. The road to Santa Theresa? had some awesome places to stop on empty beautiful beaches. The road IN Santa Theresa is laughable. Closest restaraunt was 'Atardecer Dorado' and was a decent authentic place.

We stayed there for about 5 days, It was super well maintained, veronique was super nice to us from day 1. we had good conversations about life in costa rica. I have enjoyed every minutes at this wonderful location.

An extraordinary view, in an all-wood house! We loved our stay in this haven surrounded by nature! The terrace is so nice! Veronique organized all the activities for us ( horse, luminescence, fishing, etc.) Breakfast with fresh fruit and fresh juice! Thank you Veronique for hosting us! We really enjoyed the area that is preserved! See you soon!

Une vue extraordinaire, dans une maison tout en bois ! Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cet havre de paix entouré de nature ! La terrasse est tellement agréable! Veronique nous a organisé toutes les activités ( cheval, luminescence, pêche …) Petit déjeuner avec des fruits frais et jus frais ! Merci Veronique pour l’accueil! Nous avons beaucoup aimé la région qui est préservée ! À bientôt !

An excellent place, very relaxing and comfortable!

Un lugar excelente, muy relajante y cómodo!

This House is a diamant!!! We stayed One Week with our two little girls and had the best time!! I don‘t know where to start…the garden is a dream…Mango and lime trees everywhere, monkeys and a lot of animals! Veronique is such a lovely host and the house has a stunning view!!

This property is absolutely breathtaking.  Veronique has really created something so unique and incredibly special at Calamocha Lodge.  The spaces are completely wide open to nature which was something I hadn't ever experienced before.  The sounds of the monkeys and the breeze off the ocean in the distance was so perfect.  Veronique was an amazing host and was quick to respond to any questions that we had.  The property is tucked into a lush jungle area but is only about a 5 minute drive to the most beautiful beach.  Santa Teresa is also a short drive away if you're looking for some upbeat energy and good restaurants.  The pool is also amazing.  Don't pass this airbnb by....

Such a unique & beautiful cabin, with plenty of space and amazing views!!! So happy we stayed here to relax at the end of our trip. The pool is especially amazing!

If you’re thinking about staying with Veronique, do not wait any longer & book now!!! We LOVED every second at this place & it’s even more beautiful in person. Not only do you have breathtaking views from all over the house, you’ll have an amazing host as well. We will definitely be coming back to stay here next time we are back in Costa Rica. This is the perfect place to relax, unwind & take in the beautiful scenery. We were also able to hear the howler monkeys from our rooms! Such an amazing experience!

We got a warm welcome from Veronique when we arrived. The house is very nice and big. I would recommend to have a 4x4 when driving to the house. The rooms are a little dark but nice and spacious.

Calamocha is a lovely, well groomed gem in Manzanillo. Please stay in Santa Teresa. We want to keep Manzanillo for ourselves but if you insist, you won’t find a sweeter, more tasteful place.

This is a magical place. We stayed in Villa Zen and wish we could have stayed forever!

Veronique is UNIQUE as a hostess and above all as a person. To start the day of check-in, we were muddy in one of the rivers that must be crossed (there are a few) and Veronique did not hesitate to get out of bed and pick us up to take us home. A past that not everyone would do,wow!!! On the other hand, the house is dreamy. The only thing you're going to live with iguanas, frogs that give you good morning in the former cup and multiple mosquitoes ( but all this is typical anywhere in CCr you go). Honestly, it's a real wonder. Finally, the villa where every Zen ( all of it from Veronique) is like Wow😍. Definitely if we can come back to CR someday we wouldn't hesitate to go back there. Thank you for everything Veronique

Veronique es ÚNICA como anfitriona y sobre todo como persona. Para empezar el día de la llegada nos quedamos embarrados en uno de los ríos que hay que cruzar ( son unos cuantos) y Veronique no dudó en salir de la cama e ir a recogernos para llevarnos a casa. Una pasada que no todo el mundo haría,vaya!!! Por otro lado, la casa es de ensueño. Lo único que vais a convivir con iguanas, ranas que os dan los buenos días en la taza de ex y múltiples mosquitos ( pero todo esto es típico en cualquier lugar de CCr al que vayáis). Y la verdad, es una auténtica maravilla. Por último, la villa donde se encuentra cada zen ( toda ella de Veronique) es como Wow😍. Definitivamente si algún día podemos volver a CR no dudaríamos en volver allí. Gracias por todo Veronique

Amazing close to the nature villa in Costa Rica. Really enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommended! Veronique was very hospitable.

We were very pleasantly surprised by the splendor and tranquility of the place , the views and the house open to nature. This place is unique and suitable for anyone looking for a quiet moment in the middle of the forest. Pool is very nice and what a view again. We will believe ourselves in the world , we do not hear the other occupying houses on the property at all. Veronique is very nice and knows the area well, she also makes great eggs in the morning!! We loved it here and would highly recommend it.

Nous avons été très agréablement surpris par la splendeur et la tranquillité du lieux , des vues et de la maison ouverte sur la nature. Ce lieux est unique et convient a toute personne qui recherche un moment au calme en pleins milieu de la foret. La piscine est très appréciable et encore une fois quelle vue. On se croirai seul au monde , on entends pas du tout les autres occupant des maisons sur la propriété. Veronique est très sympa et connait bien le coins , elle fait aussi des oeufs super le matin !! Nous avons adoré cet endroit et le recommandons fortement.

Magical place, great welcome. A little piece of heaven. Thank you Veronique ! We'll go back

Endroit magique, accueil génial. Un petit coin de paradis. Merci Véronique ! On y retournera

This place is amazing! Very clean and just what we were looking to relax! Veronica is very responsive and so nice and tentative! The room view is just perfect during the day and night, and the pool was just a delight. We can’t wait to go back to hidden gem
