4BR villa in Manuel Antonio

Best location & wildlife viewing in Manuel Antonio - Houses for Rent in Quepos, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

The house is perfect for a family, just make sure you can climb 4 flights of stairs without issues. If you have small children the railings on the balcony are not for kids. Our family loved it as we have grown young adults. Sid the sloth was hanging out above the driveway. We had a group of white face monkeys of around 50 pass through and what seemed like more than 100 squirrel monkeys. The trick to the driveway is to back into your spot at the top. It’s flat enough for one car to fit. You need four wheel drive as it’s sketchy but manageable after getting used to it. Get the deserts from the guy on the motorcycle at the end of the road. They were great.

Casa Elena exceeded our expectations! Beautiful home, peaceful jungle setting, and we loved seeing sloths,  monkeys and toucans from the property. The concierge made booking all of our excursions incredibly easy, and the midweek housekeeping and pool service were a wonderful bonus. The perfect home base for exploring Manuel Antonio and Quepos. We’d definitely stay here again! 🐒

Casa Elena was a beautiful place to share with my family and friends. It has all the amenities and it was fund to see the monkeys and sloth play in. The trees. Andrey was very responsive and flexible to any questions or needs. Thanks again for making the experience at Manuel Antonio so special.

We enjoyed our stay in this home- it was very comfortable for our family and the location was very private and felt quite safe.

Had a super great stay. Very close to every conceivable amenity, but in a wonderfully quiet location. During our stay, we saw more animals passing by than in the National Park. Very good communication and always available. Very clean, and friendly staff. The interim cleaning is also wonderful. A real vacation

Super tof verblijf gehad. Heel dicht bij alle denkbare voorzieningen maar heerlijk rustig gelegen. Wij hebben bij ons verblijf meer dieren voorbij zien komen dan in het National Park. Zeer goede communicatie en altijd bereikbaar. Zeer schoon en vriendelijk personeel. Ook de tussentijdse schoonmaak is heerlijk. Echt vakantie

We loved the house! The stairs are very steep so keep that in mind. The arrangements for zip lining and parasailing were our favorite! We also really enjoyed the chef coming in and cooking for us. Everyone was very friendly and helpful! Thanks again!

What an amazing property with space to relax and enjoy the lushness and wildlife all around. We loved exploring the park with a guide, zip lining, eating fresh seafood and browsing the market in the square on Saturday. The location was wonderful and we had excellent communication with Andrey and Hazel from the property management company. We would highly recommend!

100% recommended to anyone who wants to enjoy peace, beach, mountain, restaurants and very important a nice plate to stay and feel like a home.

Staying at Casa Elena was absolutely magical and well worth it! The house was incredibly clean and spacious, and the pool area and living room were both great for hanging out with friends together. The rooms were also all comfortable and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the concierge service, which took care of booking all of the tours we wanted to go on before we got there. Highly recommend the Night Park Tour and/or Manuel Antonio tour with Henry! Absolutely recommend staying here :)

This house was absolutely beautiful! The only downside is the hill getting into the house is massive and we were unable to park the car up there and had to park on the street. But, I would still recommend this Airbnb!

The house was fantastic.  Very Clean.  The team is attentive, friendly and very responsive.  Well stocked kitchen for you to food shop and make yourself at home.  Air conditioning was perfect after a long day outside.  Pool is cool and refreshing.  Be patient and quiet in the early mornings or at sunset and you will find monkeys, sloths, toucans, tree frogs and all sorts of other wildlife right from your patio chair!

Casa Elena was absolutely wonderful. It is very walkable to a number of restaurants and yet in a very private secure location. Andrey and Hazel made everything seamless for us. We saw monkeys in the trees right outside almost every day and especially around 5pm. We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful property in a quiet location near the beach. Responsive host. Only down side is not for anyone with mobility issues as many stairs and steep driveway.

This property did not disappoint. it was everything the description described when I was selected a place to stay.  The only two hiccups were there was not a hair dryer and one of the bathroom showers had lukewarm water when we took a shower. The concierge was helpful and easy to communicate with during the trip. Our favorite part of the stay was enjoying our morning coffee outside and watching all the wildlife. Monkeys, Tucans, Parrots, squirrel's and butterflies.

This was a great home just away from the city center. We saw Toucans, a Capuchin and many Squirrel Monkeys by the pool. We used all 3 bedrooms, everyone was very comfortable with great AC, and each room has it's own bathroom. Also, the pool was very refreshing after a day at the beach! As others have commented, the driveway is somewhat steep and there are a lot of stairs. We loved this house and will definitely return if we need three bedrooms again while visiting Quepos or Manuel Antonio. Thank you for a great stay!

Mark, thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the nature, comfort of the bedrooms with AC, and the refreshing pool during your stay at Casa Elena. It’s great to hear the house was a good fit for your group, and we appreciate your helpful note about the driveway and stairs. We truly enjoyed hosting you and would be delighted to welcome you back whenever you return to Quepos or Manuel Antonio!

Beautiful house!  Saw a lot of monkeys!  Not  the place for anyone with mobility issues.  The driveway is extremely steep and most taxis could not make it up there.  We had to walk it up and down the majority of the time, including with luggage when we arrived and left.  Then there are a lot of stairs to get into the house, and to the bedrooms.  Unfortunately, this was a burden for several people in our group.

Wonderful house with tons of animals to see. Good location with a short walk to a mall with lots of kid friendly options. The house was well stocked and had comfortable beds. We really appreciated the cleaners coming in midweek. Access to the washer and dryer was very helpful. Overall very positive and would book again. Things to consider: if booking with small children the stairs and railing are high up and steep. The walk up the driveway and road is steep if mobility issues are a challenges. The animals around the house make this worth it! Great area that felt safe and accessible to families

2 couples enjoyed the large spacious home. Can easily accommodate 3 or 4 couples comfortably. Beautiful property with nature right at your front door. We had a sloth visit for a few days,lots of monkeys,and birds including a Toucan. Kitchen was fully stocked with appliances. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and a bus to go up and down to the beach which was amazing. Had excellent housekeeping, concierge and car service to and from the airport. We will be back. ( be prepared for lots of steps and hills)

Stayed here at Casa Elena with my wife and our 3 kids. Plenty of room and beautiful property. Great vibe PROS: Location! - nestled in the hillside surrounded by lush vegetation. near the end of a small, non-through road. Walkable up to the shops and restaurants. There were two sloths that were hanging out all three days we were there in the tree just above the back patio - amazing. Macaws and other birds were around as well. CONS: House construction just across the street meant for noise beginning at 7am which kinda killed the serene jungle vibe and possibly meant we didn't see as much wildlife. Noise went on all day long however we were gone each day. Pool is very cold so be aware. Driveway is quite steep so be prepared for a fun daily challenge. Water pressure in the showers isn't great. Again, these are relatively minor in the grand scheme. We would definitely stay again though. Go to Emilio's and La Lambretta for food!

Our experience at this Airbnb was absolutely fantastic! The concierge Jorge went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure everything was perfect. They were quick to assist with any request. The highlight of our stay was the in house chef, Christopher made a delicious meal for our family. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable stay!

Excellent place, we had a great time. We saw many animals and birds, enjoyed the pool, and it was easy to walk to the store and restaurant or take the bus to the beach. Highly recommended

Excelente lugar, pasamos muy muy bien. Vimos muchos animales y pájaros, disfrutamos la piscina, y fácil caminar a tienda y restaurante o tomar el bus a la playa. Muy recomendable

My friends and I had the most wonderful week at Casa Elena. The location is amazing, an easy 5-10 minute walk to groceries and restaurants, while still feeling super private and safe. We loved hanging out at the pool and watching the monkeys, sloths, and birds. The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The concierges were friendly and so helpful; our vacation would not have been possible without them! 10/10 recommend!

Great host Great home Great times

We had a great stay here for our family of 6. We split our Costa Rica trip between here and la fortuna. It was great waking up to monkeys outside. Also had a couple sloths in the front trees with a toucan! Such a beautiful place to stay. Pool was nice to jump in after our excursions. Hosts were great and set up our excursions to be picked up and dropped off at the house. Close to town but far enough to feel outside in the jungle. Thanks for a great place and would come back for sure!

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Elena!!! The pool was amazing and the location was perfect. So many shops and restaurants within walking distance. House was beautiful and the perfect space. Loved our early mornings sitting on the porch watching the monkeys. There was even a sloth in the tree by the pool. Highly recommend staying here. the only note is to make sure you rent a SUV with 4 wheel drive because the driveway is very steep. There’s also a lot of steps to get up to the front door

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you loved your stay at Casa Elena and enjoyed the pool, the convenient location, and the unique wildlife sightings — spotting a sloth by the pool is truly a special experience! We're glad the house offered the perfect space for your getaway, and that mornings on the porch with the monkeys made for memorable moments. We also appreciate your helpful note about the steep driveway and steps — you're absolutely right that renting a 4WD SUV makes access much easier, and we always recommend that to our guests in advance. Thank you again for the kind words and recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

The house is very nice, spacious and well located. It is nestled among trees and at the end of a street with forest around, so monkeys, toucans, macaws, cherengas and many more birds and animals come close. It's close to everything: beaches, restaurants and beaches, in case you're looking to go out and explore. But it also has all the amenities in case you prefer to stay in the pool to wait for the animals to arrive.

La casa es muy bonita, espaciosa y bien ubicada. Queda clavada entre árboles y al final de una calle con bosque alrededor, por lo que se acercan monitos, tucanes, guacamayas, cherengas y muchas aves y animales mas. Queda cerca a todo: playas, restaurantes y playas, por si lo que busca es salir a recorrer. Pero también tiene todas las comodidades en caso de que prefieran quedarse en la piscina a esperar los animales que llegan.

We loved our stay! When we arrived there was a sloth in the tree within the first few minutes. We saw monkeys, toucans and macaws while sitting by the pool also. The inside was wonderful.  Comfortable beds. Everything was spotless clean. Shower water was hot. We appreciated the high chair that was provided for the baby. The air conditioning was also lovely after a very hot day outside. Highly recommend.

Everything was just fantastic. The house is wonderful and comfortable (we were a group of 4 couples). Andrey was extremely helpful and responsive, he even helped me to arrange surprises for the group. Absolutely recommended. Fantastic house surrounded by beautiful nature and close to main attractions in Manuel Antonio.

We had a great stay! The location was perfect—private yet close to everything. It was an easy walk to a mini market, bus stop, and workout facility. The house itself was spacious, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. After a long day at the beach, the shaded pool was a refreshing place to relax. Just a heads-up for anyone with mobility concerns—there are quite a few stairs to get into the house. The host was wonderful, greeting us upon arrival and being very responsive throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you had a great stay and enjoyed the location, as well as the spaciousness of the house and the shaded pool. It's great to know that the kitchen had everything you needed, and that the host made your experience even more enjoyable. We appreciate the helpful heads-up about the stairs—it's always good for future guests to be aware. Thank you for recommending Casa Elena, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

House and location were perfect, Andrey the concierge was the best, he was always available with helping arrange excursions and to recommending local restaurants

The place was amazing and waking up was so much fun. We had lots of wildlife activity every day! We had sloth sightings, toucan, fiery-billed aracari, howlers, squirrel monkeys, capuchin monkeys & large iguana to name a few. The pool was wonderfully refreshing. The kitchen was well equipped. We were pleased to learn there was a washer and dryer on site.  The beds were comfortable. We walked to restaurants and for most of our groceries, but delivery services were also available and we used that as well. Andrey was super helpful and responsive during our stay. We were celebrating a birthday and he was able to deliver a wonderful, delicious cake, and a beautiful bouquet of tropical flowers on short notice. The flowers were all his own doing and so thoughtful.  He helped with groceries, taxis, and excursions whenever we had any difficulty with communication.  We really enjoyed our stay.

Really great experience! It was our first time visiting the area and the location was nice. We could see lots of wildlife right from the room. Also,  Andrey was very responsive and helpful for any questions we had.

We had a great time at Casa Elena. It was a hot week and we were very happy to have the pool to swim in. The air conditioning was good for keeping things cool inside, but we wanted to spend most of our time outside. The patios were great for that when we were home. The house and surroundings were beautiful and the kitchen was well equipped. I think our favourite part was having morning coffee with the troop of 20 or so white faced monkeys that would travel past every morning around 5:30 am. We'd get up early just to have coffee on the upper balcony and watch the show. The driveway is quite steep and our rental car - a Toyota Rush - was able to handle it but barely. Next time, I'd definitely get a 4x4 - not just for this driveway, but for the daily driving for excursions. You can go a lot more places more confidently with a 4x4. All in all, it was an incredible vacation and Casa Elena was a excellent home base. Andrey the host was always helpful. We'd be very happy to return.

This Airbnb was impeccable and met all of our expectations and then some!  Great location, seen lots of wildlife, felt safe and relaxed, had all the amenities and fully stocked with all we could need!  Loved everything about it, but our favorite was the 6am coffee on the master patio watching the monkeys play!  Amazing Airbnb!!

This a great place to stay while visiting Manuel Antonio.  Just a short drive to the park and plenty to do nearby.  The host company is very helpful with booking excursions and any other needs.  They were very responsive  with a few minor issues quickly.  As stated in the description, the house sits on a steep hill and the driveway, walkways and upper part of the house require a climb.  We also found it a little inconvenient that the living and dining room, are separate from the kitchen and the pool was on the lowest level away from the main part of the house.  It made hanging out together not quite as easy.  Overall, we would recommend Casa Elena.  Pura Vida!

This place was awesome ! It is beautiful.  The host is responsive . Property and house are beautiful. The pool was great and clean. The landscaping was well kept and beautiful.  We had seen alot of wildlife at this property,  sloth , monkeys , aguoti , birds and frogs , all on or passing through the property.  I highly recommend staying here. Great location too , grocery store 2 minutes away and beaches 10 to 15 minutes away . Thank you for a great stay at this amazing property.

Mariana's house is beautiful, well appointed and central to all the fun - pictures don't do it justice! And, if you are hoping to see animals, this is house is a zoo (in the nicest way possible). A trio of sloths live in a tree overlooking the pool, squirrel monkeys and capuchins paid us visits every morning and evening, and an assortment of capybaras, tree frogs, and lizards paraded through the yard daily. A wonderful, wonderful stay and I hope we'll be back!

Large spacious house that is well-equipped, but what really makes it is the wildlife.  We loved sitting on the balcony off the main bedroom (although there are lots of spots at different elevations around the property) and watching all the creatures pass by throughout the day.  Andrey was wonderful to deal with and responded promptly to what we needed.

Casa Elena was the perfect spot for the end portion of our trip to Costa Rica. After adventuring through La Forturna and Monteverde, it was nice to relax in the pool and watch the monkeys on the porch. The concierge was really friendly and helpful getting us situated in the house and helping us with local recommendations. The house was exactly as it was shown in the pictures and our family of seven was very comfortable in the house. The house is near the end of a street and the electronic gate made us feel safe during our stay. It will definitely be considered for our next visit to Costa Rica!

Aside from a very steep driveway, everything about the house was great.  The 8 of us loved our stay, with plenty of room for all!

The house is super cute! Very spacious and green. Very quiet and you can see a lot of animals. The parking on the site is a little awkward since it is on a hill, but after a few days you get used to it! 100% recommended!

Súper linda la casa! Muy espaciosa y verde. Muy tranquila y se ven muchos animalitos. El estacionamiento del sitio es un poco incómodo ya que está en una cuesta, pero luego de unos días ya te acostumbras! Recomendada al 100%!

My family and I stayed for a week at Mariana's wonderful home. Hands down, one of the best AirBnB's we have stayed in around the world. The house had so many amenities! The kitchen had everything you could possibly want to cook or prepare any meal (minus ingredients). Every other day there was a housekeeping service provided. It's optional if you want to waive it, but it's included in the cost and great to come back from tours to a freshly cleaned home. They even did our laundry for us if we placed it in the baskets in the rooms. There is chef service where you can have meals prepared in the house for you. We did it for dinner and it was spectacular! Check in and communication is top notch. One of the main pros was the wildlife. We had two sloths in the tree right out front the whole week! Monkeys all over as well. Kids loved it. Only downside is the driveway is VERY steep. We drove up it a couple times, but ultimately just started parking in front of the house and walking up.

Amazing beautiful place to experience the rainforest.  There were sloths in the tree right in front of my balcony that I got to watch for several days.  Just loved it.

Such a good place to stay, they will also help you organize transfers from the airport which is so helpful and activities. Place is beautiful!

The house is very nice and very well equipped…lots of dishes, pots and pans, glassware etc.  Plenty of towels, pillows, etc   .  The concierge service was so nice…they were happy to answer any questions. And the AC works great.  The house does have a very steep driveway and lots of steps to the house and in the house.

Great place! A/C was flowing in every room! We had sloths, lizards, squirrel monkeys at the house. Fully stocked kitchen. Very steep driveway but manejable without 4 wheel drive. Great location. Maid service that washed our clothes and towels. 10/10!

Quepos is gorgeous and the Costa Rican people are so welcoming. This is a resort style home that will NOT disappoint! We were awakened by howler monkeys, watched a monkey brigade scampering through the trees on the property and realized that yes, a 3 toed sloth was hanging out there as well. The macaws and toucans were just gorgeous. The area has so much to offer so allow at least five days if you can—so worth it. Highly recommend!!

Casa Elena was a beautiful situated home. It was big and perfect for a group of any kind. It’s on a quiet street and gated so you have a sense of security. There are lots of stairs and a steep driveway to climb if you don’t rent a vehicle during your stay. So if you are mobile challenged, it may be difficult but if you have someone to help, you will be fine. There is a private “apartment” style room on the first level which is separate from the main house. The concierge service is amazing. If you want to find an excursion and don’t know where to start, let Andrey and the team help you out. I hired a chef for dinner one night and he was amazing as was the food we selected! Totally worth it. The pool is inviting and perfect for this sunny warm summer days. Beds were comfortable. Pillows were comfortable. The house has AC which is perfect for those humid days. I will be back! Pura Vida!

Casa Elena exceeded our expectations. It is a secluded hideaway in the middle of Manuel Anotonio that provided just as much, if not more, wildlife viewing than the actual park. Despite being walkable to local stores and restaurants, it felt like we were in the middle of the jungle. Mornings were full of toucans and other birds, while scarlet macaws flew by. We even had a resident sloth in one of the trees on the property, which was one of the highlights of our trip. Our own private pool was a great way to end our day of exploring. As others have mentioned, there are a lot of stairs - so do keep that in mind. The benefit of the climb to the house was the amazing views you get from your portch - especially the balcony outside the master bedroom, where you are literally in the trees. The team at 2 Costa Rica were a pleasure to work. I highly recommend Casa Elena and the team at 2CR. The home made our trip to Costa Rica truly memorable.

Marianas listing is absolutely stunning.  the peacefulness of Quepos is on full display while you are sitting in either tha balcony or pool area. With the sounds of nature all around you will feel right at home. Mariana and her team were very responsive and assisted my group in and I with planning activities daily and really enjoying ourselves.

Absolutely the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in! Pure paradise! The house is stunning and the wrap around porch was amazing to look at the wildlife. In fact we saw the sloth and all 3 types of monkeys right in front of us! The pool was amazing and much needed after hot days at the beach! The property is located at the end of the street so is very private, yet close to the main road which made everything accessible! You absolutely need a car in Manuel Antonio in my opinion it makes everything much easier. Hazel and Andreiy were great concierges. Specifically Hazel contacted me right away after booking and helped arranged the car rental and two tours. Andreiy helped us check in earlier! Honestly we didn’t want to leave! Our kids will be talking about the beautiful casa Elena for a while! (They did find it humorous that the house clearly was meant for me since we have the same name :))

We loved staying at this home - it was spacious, clean, private, and in a wonderful location.  The  pool was a wonderful amenity and we enjoyed seeing wildlife all around the home each day.

There were 7 of us in the group, including 6 and 8 y/o kids. The space was great for this number of people. It was nice having a kitchen to utilize, the pool, a secured gate, three+ bathrooms and the concierge was absolutely amazing. We were able to walk to restaurants, supermarkets, and other shopping. The bus runs right down the street and being in between Quepos and the beach was helpful with doing a bunch of activities. Everyone we encountered was super friendly and communicative. We saw sloths, monkeys, birds, lizards, etc. right at the house. Would definitely stay here again if we visit this area.

House was well equipped. Very roomy , cozy …

Lots of wildlife! Andrey was the best concierge ever. Very helpful setting up tours!

Mariana’s Airbnb far exceeded our expectations! The home was just perfection. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. The pool was AMAZING. We undervalued having a pool at our Airbnb until we got to Costa Rica. Jumping into the pool after a hot day of sightseeing in the hot weather was a treat. And we saw more wildlife (monkeys, toucan, macaws, lizards, etc) than we saw at the park itself! The house is a short (5-10 min) walk to the main road with restaurants, grocery store, and bus stop so you can easily stay here without renting a car. The team’s communication prior to our trip and during our trip was top notch. Hazel and Mariana were so helpful beforehand booking our airport transfer and offering support in answering questions, etc. And Andry met us at the house upon arrival to give us a tour and then helped book guided tours/answered any questions throughout our stay. Felt like a 5 star hotel!

Thank you so much for this amazing 5-star review. We really enjoyed hosting you at Casa Elena and we’re glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Your kind words are of great motivation to our team at 2Costa Rica Vacation Rentals.

House was very clean and well maintained. Beautiful property with many amazing animals outside. Location was great, supermarket right up the block and 5 min taxi ride to the beach and Manuel Antonio park. Andrey the concierge was super helpful with anything and everything we needed. Our kids had a blast watching the monkeys right by the pool! Pool was a little cold but it was so hot that the water was very refreshing. Definitely a steep driveway and a bunch of steps but was very manageable. One room and bathroom are technically not in the same front door as the rest of the house just a few steps down but we didn’t even use it for our family but would have felt totally safe sleeping there or putting an older kid in that separate room. We had a great time would recommend to everyone!

Casa Elena is just an amazing place to stay. Beautiful house with AC, lots of amenities, great pool, and walking distance to the grocery/liquor stores. Staying at Manuel Antonio is always a treat, but spending my stay at Casa Elena made the experience even better!

Large, family-friendly house. Everything is very clean, equipped and well maintained. With a good location near beaches, supermarkets and restaurants in the area. As several indicate, one of the rooms is separated from the rest of the house, in a "apartment" type of pool.

Casa amplia e ideal para familias. Todo muy limpio, equipado y bien mantenido. Con una buena ubicación cerca de playas, supermercados y restaurantes de la zona. Como varias indican, una de las habitaciones está separada del resto de la casa, en un tipo de "apartamento" de la piscina.

We had a wonderful time at Mariana’s rental. It was equipped with everything that we needed. It was walking distance from supermarkets and restaurants which was great. The only issue was the number of steps to get from the lower level bedroom (where my elderly parents stayed) to the kitchen and the living room, but this was disclosed in the rental description. All staff (concierge, cleaning ladies, gardener) were extremely friendly and helpful. Check in and check out were easy. We can’t wait to go back to Mariana’s rental in the near future.

Beautiful house that was everything we had hoped for! Loved the pool and the “guest apartment” separate from the main house. Worked wonderfully for our group!

Aside from the 4th BR being a little casita downstairs and not accessible from the main house, it also did not have hot showers. Luckily, it was so hot and humid outside that the cold shower felt very refreshing and was tolerable. It had a gate and a slider that required keys, but unfortunately, the sliders keys didn’t work. It was ok because we had the gate that kept us safe that we could lock! Other than that, this house was absolutely beautiful! We would definitely recommend and stay there again in a heart beat!!!

A spacious house, ideal for families, has everything available. A proper pool. Lots of animals arrive to the house. In fact, I think we saw more animals around the house than in the national parks than we saw in the national parks. The only thing to take in consideration is that the house is full of stairs, some steps do not have the same depth so it can lead to falls.

Un casa amplia , ideal para familias, tiene de todo disponible. Una piscina adecuada. Llegan muchos animales a la casa. De hecho creo que vimos mas animales alrededor de la casa que en los parques nacionales. Lo único a tomar en consideracion es que la casa esta llenas de escaleras, algunos escalones no tienen la misma profundidad por lo que puede inducir a caidas.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Casa Elena. We booked the trip to celebrate my Mom who has stage 4 cancer and wants to enjoy life to the fullest; I knew Costa Rica was the best place for her. I’d never been to Manuel Antonio but Mariana’s concierge Hazel and Raimund were there to help with everything! They handled our private transfer from San Jose to the house, setup a private chef to have dinner ready when we arrived, booked all our tours, and had the rental car company there the next day to deliver keys. The house and grounds are meticulously maintained and the maid came every other day to ensure we had clean towels, bedding, and our home away was spotlessly cleaned. There is also a washer/dryer so we were able to wash our dirty clothes after hikes and long days at the beach. The neighborhood is great and central to all the best restaurants and several markets. We will 100% stay at one of Mariana’s properties again the next time we’re in Manuel Antonio. Muchas Gracias team!!

Absolutely would stay here again! A short 10-15 min walk to stores and restaurants. The house does have a lot of stairs but it’s absolutely beautiful and felt VERY safe as well as the neighborhood!

Amazing! Great Location, Very clean, very spacious, and troy a perfect gem. I’d def recommend booking this house. It’s just central to everything you need to do in the area. Very private and got to see animals close but. We also received a visit from monkeys at night and mornings. Also an ant eater which was amazing. Arely loved this spot.

We had a wonderful stay, the house is more beautiful in person. Short walk to restaurants, bars and three grocery stores. Beach access is close and we saw an abundance of wild life at the house. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat!

Great place. Clean and well taken care of. Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the pool. Saw three different types of monkeys every day. Could not tell how many different birds to many to count. Can’t wait to come back.

Matt came through at a moments notice. Matts Concierge Mariana was on point and available at all times. My family enjoyed the stay and had lots of fun. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Mucha comodidad y lugares bonitos cercanos

The house is pretty comfortable, is very well equipped in every aspect including the kitchen, if you want to cook you can have a really nice time over there. Communication with the host and the house keepers is great. Everything was really clean. The house is also pretty safe and secure. At the house we were able to see groups of monkeys crossing thru the trees around the house in the afternoons and other animals like the guatusa and green frogs at night. And just as an FYI, it does have a lot of stairs as others have mentioned.

The house is very well equipped, I recommend it,  ideal for 6 people. The only thing is that it is not advisable to go with elderly people or people with disabilities because you have to climb many steps. Otherwise excellent, good beds, kitchen utensils, everything clean and good communication from Jorge the manager. Thank you

La casa esta muy bien equipada, la recomiendo,  ideal para 6 personas. Lo único es no es aconsejable ir con personas adultas mayores o personas con discapacidad porque hay que estar subiendo muchas gradas. Por lo demás excelente, buenas camas, utensilios de cocina todo limpio y buena comunicación de parte de Jorge el encargado. Gracias

It does have a lot of stairs but it's a great space!

We would go back... an amazing house, spacious and has everything you need and even more.  Very private, and with areas even inside the house that makes it a private, spacious and clean place. Honestly, recommended.

Volveríamos... una casa increíble, espaciosa y tiene todo lo necesario y hasta más.  Muy privada, y con zonas inclusive dentro de la casa que la hace un lugar privado, espacioso y limpio. La verdad, recomendada.

A wonderful house with all the amenities, the stay is very pleasant for a fair price totally.

Una casa maravillosa con todas las comodidades, la estadía es muy amena por un precio justo totalmente.

The place is perfect for those traveling by bus,the stop is 150 meters from the house. The bus cost 335 colones to go to Playa Espadilla or back to the Quepos terminal. Jose was very kind and gave us several recommendations. The house is exactly as shown in the photos. Rooms decorated very fine, and cleanliness in every corner. The pool was spacious. Recommended for the whole family if you like to enjoy in the house as it has many areas to share, a large kitchen and a variety of kitchen utensils. Keep in mind that the stairs are high to enter the house. I would gladly go back!!!

El lugar es perfecto para los que viajan en bus,la parada queda a 150 metros de la casa. El bus costaba 335 colones para ir a la playa espadilla o de regreso al terminal de Quepos. José fue muy amable nos dio varias recomendaciones. La casa es tal como se muestran en las fotos. Cuartos decorados muy finos, y limpieza en cada rincón. La piscina era espaciosa. Recomendable para toda la familia si gusta disfrutar en la casa ya que tiene muchas zonas para compartir, amplia cocina y variedad de utensilios de cocina. Tomar en cuenta que las gradas son altas para ingresar a la casa. Volvería a ir encantada!!!

Super recommended, the house is very nice and very well equipped. There were plenty of cleaning products for our peace of mind. Very good service as well.

Súper recomendada, la casa es muy bonita y está muy bien equipada. Habían muchos productos de limpieza para nuestra tranquilidad. Muy buen servicio además.

It is a nice house, but there are a lot os steep steps to get to the house and inside, not recommended for seniors or kids. The pool is for adults only.

Very efficient check-in and check-out, very good service and the house was just what we expected.

El check in y check out muy eficiente, la atención muy buena y la casa era justo lo que esperábamos.

The house is as described. Stairs and driveway are steep.
