2BR house in Manuel Antonio

Jungle House in Heart of MA. Washer/Dryer/WiFi. - Houses for Rent in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

LOVE this place!! Fantastic house and private/off the main roads. We saw monkeys almost every morning with our coffee and every evening at sunset!! Gah!! So amazing! And the birds....omg the bird! Outdoor shower is wonderful to cool off. Kitchen was very well stocked and we were so grateful to do laundry. I worked virtual for a few days and the wifi was excellent. And Lorena, the local host, is a GEM :) Ricky, Juan, and Lorena were super responsive and very. Our ONLY request was that we wanted a pool, but we're also from the midwest, so we weren't used to the heat... :) THANK YOU!!

The outdoor space was great. There's two different areas to hang outside and a deck/patio that was perfect for morning yoga. Fruit trees were abundant and the breeze was excellent. Full stocked kitchen. Great communication from the property manager Leonora :)

If, at the end of the trip, we had any doubts about our understanding of the pura vida formula, I think Ricky and Juan's house, but also Lorena's hospitality, definitely made us understand what it meant. Lush flora, fauna present, what a smell of jasmine! An omnipresent turquoise blue from local animal paintings. Small corners to isolate yourself outside, a living room, a dining table, no windows but grilles and mosquito nets, in direct contact with nature. You may not like it, we loved it.

Si, en cette fin de voyage, nous avions un doute sur notre compréhension de la formule pura vida, je crois que la maison de Ricky et Juan, mais également l'accueil de Lorena, nous ont fait définitivement comprendre ce que cela voulait dire. Flore luxuriante, faune presente, quelle odeur de jasmin ! Un bleu turquoise omniprésent des peintures d'animaux locaux. Des petits coins pour s'isoler a l'extérieur, un salon, une table a manger, pas de fenêtres mais des grilles et des moustiquaires, en contact direct avec la nature. On peut ne pas aimer, nous avons adoré

This place is absolutely awesome! Lorena was super kind and gave us great recommendations. The house was squeaky clean and we felt like living surrounded by jungle. Birds and howler monkeys in the morning. 100% recommended. If we would have had more time we would have loved to stay longer.

We loved this place! Even prettier in person than on the pictures. Lorena was great! She took the time to show us the map of Manuel Antonio and the cool spots and gave us good advice. Very friendly, professional and reliable.

Casa La Paz is amazing. We absolutely loved our stay, from the peaceful garden to the nearby soda for delicious meals, and the central location to everything in Manuel Antonio. Look no further, this is the one - highly recommend!

We are thrilled that you all had a great stay, Rita! Pura Vida. :)

Ricky and Juan’s place was great to stay at! It’s definitely a Costa Rican house. Loved the landscaping/plants on the property, you have your own private jungle. Having options close by for restaurants is nice without having to drive or walk too far. Plenty of room on the inside. Nice patio areas outside, that are covered. Having a washer and dryer is a plus. We would highly recommend staying here!

We are so happy to hear you all enjoyed your stay! Pura vida. 🌴

Decent value for the area. The home and garden were beautiful. I enjoyed seeing some wildlife, including monkeys, iguanas, a raccoon. Everything in the home was functional. Good communication from the host. AC in the master room worked well...maybe too well. There were a couple of short power outages due to wildlife activity (from a few minutes to maybe 2 hours), no big deal. Overall 4/5, short a star only because when I asked the host if I could reduce my stay by just 1 day to allow me to go to SJO early to catch my flight, he did not directly answer my question. He merely stated "you are welcome to checkout early". A nice way of saying no I guess.

Incredibly friendly hosts, spotless house, and beautiful garden. Thankful for a seamless stay and for the local recommendations, which we enjoyed.

Absolutely loved our stay here! We would have extended it if it were available. It’s even nicer and more spacious than the photos show. Everything was provided in the kitchen and even had beach towels. Very highly recommend!!

Casa la Paz was better than expected! The house was private, safe, and tucked away near the end of a quiet street in a lush jungle setting. The home was surrounded by exotic plants and trees. Groups of squirrel monkys (up to 20 at a time) would visit several times a day. The indoor and outdoor living spaces were large and spacious. Options for outdoor seating spaces on the side and out back. All amenities in good condition. Functional washer and dryer. Two indoor and one outdoor shower. Short walk (a few minutes) to nearby restaurant and grocery store. About 10 minute walk to multiple restaurant options. Quick drive (~10 minutes ) to Manuel Antonio National Park. Lorena was friendly, helpful and responsive to text messages. Rental car felt safe parked outside. Highly recommend!

Lovely and basic place tucked away on a local street 5-10 mins away from the coast where you’ll find beaches, restaurants, spectacular views and the rest of it. Uber worked flawlessly to get around during our 5 days and is cheap. Lorena is the local hostess, a neighbor and she’s lovely, very helpful and full of life. Lots of pura vida!

We had a lovely stay at the jungle house. It is spacious, with everything you need. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating areas and shower.

Absolutely loved our stay at Ricky’s and Juan home! Cozy and central to everything you’d want to do! I cannot be happier with Lorena who was so accommodating and gracious with suggestions and even when we arrived late due to customs she waited and gave us a great welcome! Thank you!

Tucked away towards the end of a street with a little local restaurant and grocery store a couple minutes walk away, we had a wonderful and peaceful stay here. Everything was exactly as described and the local host was great and offered many recommendations. Highly recommend.

We loved staying at Ricky and Juan’s. We knew we were coming at the end of the rainy season and wanted a place we could spend a rainy day.  It did not disappoint. We had one rainy afternoon and enjoyed spending the afternoon on the covered porches enjoying the jungle around us.

Ricky and Juan’s, a wonderful location and property. Abundance of local wildlife. Saw more here than at the National Park. Very quiet and peaceful. Area has a wonderful community atmosphere and is very safe area to walk. Felt safe at all times.

Ricky and Juan were amazing hosts - they were extremely kind, offered recommendations for the area, and clearly wanted to make sure we were happy during our stay. Their property manager, Lorena, was beyond helpful! She gave us a map and walked us through how to use local transportation, fun activities to try while in town, and other tips for the area as well. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The home was GORGEOUS. It was even better than the photos somehow. We saw beautiful wildlife such as scarlet macaws, and the sounds of nature were peaceful to listen to whether we were on an outside patio relaxing or indoors. Laundry machines worked perfectly, and their cleaning staff made beautiful towel arrangements with fresh flowers, which was an added cute touch. Showers were warm and clean, the place was well stocked, cold water available from the fridge, and fans + AC to keep the temperature perfect inside. We’ll be returning to Casa La Paz on our next Costa Rica trip!

Such a great location and absolutely beautiful gardens. We loved sitting outside bird watching and listening to nature. We walked to the beach once (not suggested) but was super easy to get around by car (suggested)  Lorena was awesome and so helpful! I'd love to go back. House was well stocked.

Wonderful place to stay.  Lorena met us at house and showed us around and gave us recommendations. Very welcoming, responsive, and helpful. Super clean, gorgeous, and well stocked home with plenty of  patios to relax on. We enjoyed Manuel Antonio and would definitely return for a stay here shohld we have the fortune to come back to Costa Rica. Highly recommend!

Peaceful space, close to all the beauty in Manuel Antonio. It was nice having a small store within a few minute walk to get what I needed as well.

We loved Ricky and Juan’s home, and it felt like a home away from home for us too, from the open feel of it to the beautiful and exotic garden, it was such a wonderful experience. We loved the place. I would highly recommend 🤗

The accommodation is exceptional and Lorena is the person who gave us a wonderful welcome Thank you so much for welcoming us into your home!!!

el alojamiento es excepcional y Lorena la persona.que nos hizo la recepción maravillosa muchas gracias por acogernos en vuestra casa!!!

Fantastic accommodation. Loved the space we had. Outdoor shower a big hit. Kitchen very well equipped. Wonderful introduction to the area and place by Leonora who was waiting for us as we arrived.

My only complaint is that I had  to leave. it was fantastic. beautiful, clean and in a great area. Huge, opulent space. very welcoming and lovely.

Super convenient location, grocery store steps away, well stocked house, great outdoor space, love the outdoor shower, and most importantly—the property manager was lovely!  She was so responsive and helpful.

We had an excellent stay at Juan and Ricky‘s place. Excellent communication and everything was as described. I would definitely stay here again!

The We have stayed at different properties throughout the years in Quepos/Manuel Antonio and this home is hands down the best! From the moment we arrived, Lorena greeted us with a bright smile and a “how can be I of service “ disposition. She’s a gem. The area is a bit serpentine and don’t make the mistake we made. Carefully follow the host’s directions to the letter, lest you should find yourself in a precarious situation if you pass the home with no turn around room and a ravine on one side. The house and garden are very well maintained with an eclectic assortment of decorations and colorful paintings. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with modern appliances. The master bedroom and bathroom are larger than most homes in the country! Overall our stay is a 5 star + recommendation!!

Beautiful home, very peaceful.  Lorena was amazing and gave us great tips for our trip! Loved that we had AC in the master bedroom! Great communication, would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at the jungle house was fantastic. We didn’t get to meet the hosts but our experience with the property manager, Lorena, was excellent. Check in was flexible and easy and there is a private parking spot for guests. We arrived later than expected but Lorena was gracious and provided very helpful recommendations for where we could get the quickest dinner and groceries and get our kids to sleep. The house was exactly as described and we loved the bird and monkey watching each morning while we had breakfast. One thing that was a surprise but is on me is the lack of AC in the second bedroom. We travelled from cold/dry Colorado so it was rough for the kids to sleep in the heat and humidity. Ah well, Pura Vida! We really liked eating at the restaurant just up the road - Restaurante Cerdo Feliz. The food and service is amazing albeit on the pricey side but we could walk there for dinner from the house. Highly recommend

Highly recommend, you feel right at home. Everything was perfect, location is safe and private while still being walkable. The bus to the beach is very efficient and reliable. The property manager, Lorena was very welcoming and friendly. She gave us local recommendations and made sure we were properly accommodated.

The house was pleasant,  and the outdoor space was nice. The house is well stocked. The cat that wandered up was sweet until you stopped petting him. When you stop,  he bites or swipes at you.

What a beautiful property!! And the property manager Lorena is such a gem. She gave us so many tips and tricks for the area throughout our stay and even came in clutch right at the end when we realized we forgot a phone charger. Absolute queen. Like other reviews have mentioned, the main house is not cooled and it did get hot and humid in the afternoons, however, the main bedroom stayed nice and cool so we slept just fine. I actually think it helped us acclimate to the temps more quickly not having AC. The cool outdoor shower was great before bed or even in the afternoon after getting home from the beach. We saw so many monkeys from our front porch which was incredible. Very private space and close to town, would definitely stay here again!

Ricky and Juan’s place was amazing! Aside from it being a spectacular house we saw more wills life there than we did in Manuel Antonio park. Every morning and late afternoon the house was surrounded by white faced and squirrel monkeys. We saw sloths and so many birds and everything was right from the porch. The place is super peaceful and safe, truly carefree stay. If you’re going to Manuel Antonio this place is perfect!

Lorena was awesome.  We ran into an issue with our car and she was very gracious and helped us.  She gave some great recommendations.

This is a beautiful home in Manuel Antonio. The location is ideal for visiting local attractions and restaurants. You will see animals roam around, we saw monkeys and even helped move a sloth who was in the middle of the street right outside the home. Ricky and Juan were wonderful in communicating and provided detailed instructions well in advance. Lorena, the property manager, is super helpful and very kind. She was happy to meet us and provide tips, even though we arrived later than expected. The beds were comfortable, the home well equipped and very clean. An AC unit in the second bedroom would be perfect, but regardless we had a great stay and would highly recommend.

The house was very special.  the outside is gorgeous and lots of areas to sit and feel like you are right in the jungle. there is a troupe of monkeys that lives in the area and runs over the house, very fun.  The inside is very comfortable.  It’s walkable and overall our family of four had a great stay. Absolutely recommend to anyone who is looking for an airbnb in MA.  Finally, Lorena, who met us with the key, is wonderful and gave us many local recommendations!

We loved it here! Especially the visit from the monkeys in the morning 💖

We loved our stay here. The house was beautiful - lots  space inside and outside, all the amenities you need to feel at home, colorful and cheerful with lots of nice wildlife paintings. The outdoor eating area and patio were nice to relax in. Lorena is so helpful and fun during our visit. It was like having a very knowledgeable friend in the neighborhood.  We were so happy to see squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys and white faced capuchins pass right by the yard on the monkey bridge during our stay! We also enjoyed making some smoothies with the starfruit.

There isn’t a better spot in Manuel Antonio. Ricky and Juan were very responsive and helpful, and Lorena was an absolute delight! We could not be more grateful for the opportunity to stay at Casa la Paz.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. It was just like you described it and the photos were totally true to life. We ate at el Cerdo Feliz several times for lunch and dinner. Great food and value Lorena gave us a great overview of Manuel Antonio We will definitely want to stay here again next trip

We absolutely LOVED staying at Ricky and Juan’s home. Their neighbor Lorena awaited our arrival to help with check-in and gave us a wonderful home tour and introduction to the neighborhood complete with a town map and list of recommendations of things to do and where to go. She had some super helpful local tips which we took advantage of — really took the stay to the next level! She was so friendly and made herself available for any questions via text. The homes itself is beautiful, spacious, and on a very lovely and safe street. Walking distance to a corner store and lovely breakfast spot! Can’t wait to come back 😉

This place was lovely! It was nice to be a little outside of the main stretch. The place was spacious and cool. Lorena was super friendly, helpful and communicative!

The house was wonderful. We saw monkeys, toucans and macaws. Lorena the on site host gave us a perfect introduction on navigating the area and was always available to answer questions and give recommendations. We also enjoyed on site massages and loved our local soda.

We loved it staying in the wonderful house from Ricky und Juan. we have extended our stay twice and did not wanna leave. W e felt like home. the house is exactly as it Shows on the pictures. has wonderful privacy and many possibilities to sit outside on the different terrasses where you can relax and watching some animals sometimes, surrounded of wonderful plants. The beds are very comfortable and the showers have hot water and bluetooth-speaker! we just loved everything of the house. Also the possibility to use the washing machine and dryer was nice. Ricky and Juan are very likeable, kind and helpful hosts and Lorena the c/o-host who taken care of the house and guests was just amazing. we had a warmheated welcome and she gave us some helpful Informations and advices for the surrounding. she is always reachable via phone in case you have some questions or need help. We definately would stay here again and highly recommend the house from Ricky and Juan! Pura Vida 🌺

Lorena was an amazing host and provided a warm welcome! She went out of her way to assure we were comfortable, had everything we needed and check-in during our stay to respond to any inquiries. We will definitely stay here again!

Fantastic stay from beginning to end. The house is beautiful with every amenity I could think of. it was very nice to have a washer and dryer, dryers are very hard to find in Costa Rica. The location was perfect and Lorena was the cherry on top with her knowledge, recommendations, quick responses and cheerful attitude. Definitely one of the best AirBnB experiences I have ever had.

Casa La Paz was absolutely amazing.  The house has everything - including a washer and dryer.  The outside spaces are gorgeous and you can sit and watch hummingbirds, butterflies and other colorful birds all around you.  The aircondition was lovely but honestly, my son slept fine with out it and I slept on the couch one night (very comfortable) and was quite comfortable with the fans.  There is a Soda around the corner - Feliz??- that was the best chifrijo we had in CR.  Lorena was amazing and SO friendly and helpful.  Sat down with a map to show us the whole area and make recommendations.  The house was very centrally located and nothing was more than 10-15 minutes away. We truly could not have been happier with Casa La Paz or with Manuel Antonio.

We really enjoyed staying here. Ricky, Juan and their manager Lorena are great hosts. The location was also perfect. Very close to MA restaurants, beach and national park. Yet it was on a quiet serene street with a lot of trees where we got to see more wildlife than anywhere else in CR. We had a wonderful time and would certainly come back.

Very responsive host/house sitter. Lorena helped us with some great local recommendations and was prompt to rescue us when we were locked out of the AirBnB. She showed up within 2 minutes of our text for help to unlock the house and (thanks to her) we made it on time for our guided tour. Great location. Everything you need is in a 5-10 minutes drive radius. Parking was not easy because of a ditch right outside the house and we struggled getting the car in and out. This is likely a temporary problem that can be solved by the local municipality.

This was a perfect spot for our family of 4 for 4 nights.  It was super clean and comfortable, and extremely spacious.  The outdoor seating areas were well used… it felt like an oasis.  The hosts were friendly and helpful, and Lorena, the local host was amazing to us. The birds and monkeys made regular visits.  We appreciated the mini-market a short walk away as well as the restaurant next door.

We loved our stay at Ricky and Juan's. The listing was exactly as described and it a great location with amazing an amazing garden that is frequented by local wildlife. They were very helpful hosts who provided us with lots of recommendations within the local area. Lorena who met us to check in was also so friendly and accommodating. Thanks for a great stay

Wonderful Airbnb, excellent service, communication and location. They were always attentive to us. Also very clean

Maravilloso Airbnb, excelente servicio, comunicación y ubicación. Siempre estuvieron pendientes de nosotros. Además muy limpio

Lovely classic Costa Rican home in a beautiful, quiet and convenient location. The house is spacious and comfortable, but the real star of the show is Lorena. From check in and throughout the stay, she made sure I was well taken care of. Thank you!!!

Great time is this home in Manuel Antonio! Located by a supermarket that you can walk to. It’s very quiet and you can also call a taxi from the home and it’ll be there in 2-3 minutes. Thanks for a great stay!!!

Casa La Paz is the perfect place for a getaway to Manuel Antonio. We particularly loved the outdoor area with superb landscaping (all fenced, great if you are bringing a dog) and the location, so close from everything. Neighborhood was also very tranquil. Thank you Ricky and Juan for having us!

We are so happy you all enjoyed your stay at Casa La Paz! :-)

Casa La Paz was BEAUTIFUL! It's all about the garden and patios at this house. All the beautiful plants, flowers and trees, the constant chitters of the hummingbirds and butterflys flying about was a dream. The outside is where you will want to spend most of your time. Across the street from the patio you can see and hear the red macaws and a monkey or two swinging thru the trees. My pup Dezzie enjoyed the garden and sniffing about all over, it was a mini adventure for her! The inside has beautiful decor, was clean and comfy, has plenty of fans to keep you cool during the day, and the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking as needed. Lorena the hostess was a joy to meet and super welcoming. She will provide you with good area info and recommendations. The area is very walkable, plenty of great restaurants and bodegas for quick supplies if needed. Only a quick 10 min ride to the Manuel Antonio park and beaches. I will absolutely be returning when back in Manuel Antonio!

We had a great stay and were able to see Macaws, a sloth and squirrel monkeys playing in the trees.  The property manager met us and let us in showing us everything and recommending a local restaurant, El Cerdo Feliz that was great.  We enjoyed our time there and wished we a had a couple more days to hang out on the patio and enjoying the hummingbirds.

We are so glad you all had a great time and saw lots of animals while staying at Casa La Paz. :)

We loved our stay here!  The patios and outdoor living space was a nice extension of the house.  We could walk to the grocery store and to a really good restaurant.  Lorena, our check in hostess, was informative, friendly, and had excellent recommendations for what to do in the area.  We crammed a lot in and felt safe and secure coming home after a long day out.

Casa La Paz was true to its name - we loved our stay here and highly recommend! Very spacious with a washer and dryer, and beautiful surroundings and garden.

We stayed a at Ricky and Juan's place and were really impressed by the beautiful house and garden. The house and grounds are huge and the garden is well-kept and super lush. Our cats really enjoyed exploring it! It was so cool to see monkeys on the telephone lines and ropes just across the street. We saw a coati and agouti in the garden and lots of hummingbirds. The garden is laden with fruits: starfruit, bananas and papayas. You can really tell they made the extra effort to make their grounds spectacular. The house is large and spacious and has everything one would need for their stay including a huge bathroom. There is aircon in the bedroom so if the heat gets to you, you can still sleep well at night. Lorena, the property manager, was super responsive throughout our entire stay and gave us great recommendations during our stay. We enjoyed everything about Manuel Antonio and loved staying at this house. One other positive is that the Wifi worked well during our stay.

Could not recommend this place more! Beautiful location and easy to get to. Lorena the property manager is amazing. We locked ourselves out by accident and she was there in literally 5 minutes to let us in. Amazing home, location and people. Thank you

This is a quiet, and beautiful little house that can host about 4 people. Large front yard with beautiful plants. I spotted some birds here. Outside is forested as well. Backyard is nice. The issue we had was that only the main bathroom had air conditioning. The days we stayed were very very hot in Manuel Antonio and the place was very hot except for the main bedroom. We are two people staying and we had to sleep in the main bedroom because the second bedroom was too hot to sleep in at night. I think on cooler days this place will be wonderful, but just keep in mind that it can get very hot.

The pictures are very accurate to the inside of the home. However the furnishings were set up for two or three people to interact. We were not there much, so it was OK. Also please note that only the one bedroom has air condition. The remaining of the space is not air-conditioned. It was extremely hot and humid when we visited and it was uncomfortable.

Our family had a peaceful vacation staying 8 nights at Casa La Paz. The house is surrounded by beautiful lush plants and it felt like a jungle getaway.  Monkeys were climbing around the property every day which was so cool! We felt safe and secluded, yet we were so close to everything.  Lorena, the concierge, was a breath of fresh air and made us feel like family instantly.  She definitely helped make our vacation a fun and memorable one!  Casa La Paz will be our first choice if we visit Manuel Antonio again.

Comfortable and spacious property in an idyllic natural setting. The outdoor seating was wonderful. Lorena was there to greet us when we arrived and provided a lot of useful information about the area and the property.

nice house in a quiet location.  Their property manager Lorena was great, very responsive.  Easy to get in.  we enjoyed our stay

What an exceptional piece of paradise. Casa la Paz sits in the heart of Manuel Antonoio and is surrounded by lush foliage that is teaming with life. The property is a true "jungle house" which is both secure and extremely comfortable. Directly across the street is a sanctuary of gigantic trees that are home to monkeys, parrots, and a variety of other creatures, which creates an excellent feeling of being truly in the forest. We were greeted by Lorena who is the property manager - she is wonderfully kind and friendly. Introduced us to the property, showed us the nuances of the property, and was easily reachable at any time. If you're staying in Manuel Anotonio, I would highly recommend enjoying Casa La Paz. Best enjoyed with your own vehicle to get around town, and keep in mind only one room has AC (I don't use AC, so that was fine with me!). This is a perfect property for a traveling couple or family. I would absolutely stay here again.

We loved everything about our stay at this lovely home. Super spacious. The air conditioning was a life saver! Absolutely loved the yard with all the flowers, plants & surprise sightings such as monkeys, sloths & macaws. Lorena was an absolute charm! So adorable & accommodating. Juan & Ricky were so helpful with suggestions. The location was great. Beds comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed! The washer & dryer a plus! 5 star all the way!

Great place and location. Wonderful check-in experience, lovely hosts. Nice restaurant and couple of mins away for breakfast, lunch or dinner, with a supermarket next door. Wonderful place to stay, everything you need, awesome outside areas surrounding the property, plus lots of birds! All-round brilliant place to stay!

This place was great!  The grounds and terraces are gorgeous and the jungle was beautiful and so alive with birds and sounds. We had lots of space and enjoyed walking up to a local restaurant for authentic meals and the short drive to the beach and National park.

We can't say enough great things about Ricky & Juan. They went above and beyond to make sure our vacation was perfect. The house was amazing and the scenery and outside atmosphere was gorgeous. Waking up to watch Monkeys swing, and Toucans fly made this a true authentic Costa Rican experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Awesome wildlife from the property. scarlet Macaws, monkeys etc. there was even a neighborhood cat that would visit comfortably. Easy walking distance from bus stop (10min) with local soda and supermarket even closer (1 block.) no car necessary. Quiet and peaceful and awesome collaboration with the outdoors.

Very spacious and nicely located Airbnb with a nice restaurant and a supermarket around the corner. Well-maintained garden where you can sometimes see monkeys in the trees. The lack of air conditioning in the living room/kitchen and one of the two bedrooms made the stay less comfortable for us than desired. In the bedroom without air conditioning, there is a fan but makes noise while sleeping. For the rest, a good stay had a good stay!

Zeer ruime en mooi gelegen Airbnb met een leuk restaurant en een supermarkt om de hoek. Goed onderhouden tuin waar je soms apen in de bomen kunt zien. Het gebrek aan airconditioning in de woonkamer/keuken en een van de twee slaapkamers maakte het verblijf voor ons minder comfortabel dan gewenst. In de slaapkamer zonder airconditioning is een ventilator aanwezig maar maakt geluid tijdens het slapen. Voor de rest een goed verblijf gehad!

Had a great time touring the park & beaches, taking in the beautiful scenery & lots of wildlife photo ops. The house was very private, beautifully landscaped with multiple outdoor patios for relaxing, stargazing and unwinding from busy days. Our one & only con would be the lack of air conditioning in the 2nd bedroom. Thank you Ricky & Juan!

We had a great stay at Ricky and Juan's place.  We were a bit late to arrive but the house manager Lorena was very kind and welcoming once we arrived. The setting is close to a market and good local restaurant but also very private. We enjoyed sitting on the spacious patio watching the wildlife. We saw green parrots and monkeys. It was about 10 minutes to a larger city and Manual Antonio Park. One note, the bathroom in the main bedroom is completely open to the sleeping area. There is another detached bathroom if you prefer privacy.  Overall, we enjoyed our stay here!

Our time here was wonderful! Lorena (the caretaker) was so helpful and friendly and with lots of recommendations. The property is beautiful with a great local restaurant near by (we went twice!). Monkeys around the property and saw a macaw as well. Highly recommend!

Lorena gave us a very warm welcome. The house is very nice and spacious - also we saw macaws and monkeys in the garden.

Beautiful house and outdoor yard space. Green and serene outdoor space for breakfast and bird watching. Walkable to amazing restaurants and grocery store, and easy short drive to beach and national park. Hosts and local property manager Lorena are very friendly and responsive. Overall, an amazing stay. We would love to be back and stay even longer.

Great place.  Close to everything you want to see plus the monkeys going down the street are a show all by themselves.  The place is really nice.

This place was awesome.  Beautiful home in a peaceful jungle setting as described. We saw many monkeys while we were sitting outside.   Very responsive host, Ricky answered the phone and helped us find our way and then Lorena was waiting for us outside as we drove up.  Excellent location only a few minutes walk to Manuel Antonio Main Street.  We loved having a fridge and stove to cook as well as laundry onsite.  We didn’t know we had to book the national park in advance but no problem we still had plenty to do and Lorena was also extremely helpful with suggestions and information on the area.   I had a wonderful trip with my teenage sons!

Had a fantastic stay at Ricky and Juan's bungalow style home in Manuel Antonio. The hosts were prompt with communication. Lorena checked us in and answered all our questions and provided recommendations for restaurant and activities in the area. The place was well furnished and very clean. The porch and outdoor areas are gorgeous. Very peaceful setting, facing a greenbelt. We saw howler monkeys and hummingbirds in the morning while sipping our coffee in the patio. The second bedroom does not have an AC but the heat wasn't bad in December and we slept well with the windows open, and the circulation from the ceiling fan and the pedestal fan. The family owned restaurant down the street and around the corner from the mini market was fabulous and we ate there three times. We highly recommend this place if you are visiting Manuel Antonio.

Excellent property, well maintained with greenery all around. Multiple seating spaces outside along with an outdoor shower. We checked in late and Lorena (property manager) was extremely flexible and all her recommendations were A plus. Not that it happens often but that day we have power cut as a power line snapped but Lorena was helpful to check with the electricity company and confirm back it will be fixed in few hours which it did. She was extremely helpful when we had to come back at the property to pick up something we left behind. Wish the roads were better but guess that is across other places as well in Costa Rica. Highly recommend to stay.

We had a fantastic stay at Ricky and Juan's gorgous home. Lorena met us and was fantastic throught our stay - helping with recommendations and arranging a wonderful guide for the Manuel Antonio National Park. If you want a peaceful location surrounded by gorgeous vegetation but still close to the beach and town - this house is ideally located. The house is exactly as it is in the pictures - spacious, nicely done out  with a great outdoor space from where we saw monkey's, Scarlet Macaws and other gorgeus birds. It is walking distance to a supermarket, restaurants and lovely boutique shops and 5 minutes from a bus stop that takes you straight to the beach.  We would highly recommend this house and hope to be back again some time. Thanks very much to Lorena

Rick and Juan  thoughtfully provided clear and concise instructions on how to reach the property, making the check-in process seamless. I highly recommend this charming retreat to anyone looking for a friendly host, a clean and accurately described space, and a beautiful, private getaway. I look forward to returning in the future!

Thank you so much, Rajesh! It was a pleasure hosting your family at Casa La Paz, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. :)

Beautiful, large and clean place. Description and photos match. Lorena is always responsive and available for questions. Super easy to get to the national park or Quepos by bus. Thanks for the time! :)

Wunderschöne, große und saubere Unterkunft. Beschreibung und Fotos stimmen überein. Lorena ist immer ansprechbar und steht für Fragen zur Verfügung. Super einfach mit dem Bus zum Nationalpark oder Quepos zu gelangen. Danke für die schöne Zeit! :)

We are happy you enjoyed the home and the surroundings including the National Park and Quepos! :) Thank you for staying with us, Anne!

This is a well equipped home situated in the jungle with plenty of privacy and yet only a 5 minute walk to a well stocked mini market and a quaint restaurant. 5 more minutes and you can catch a bus for less then a dollar and go to the beach, shop, eat and explore everything that Quepos has to offer as well as Manual Antonio. If you enjoy viewing wildlife you will see plenty from the front porch and it’s quite entertaining. Ricky and Juan are quick to respond anytime if needed. I would recommend this house and happily stay again. Pura Vida :) Farron

We are happy you enjoyed your monthlong stay at Casa La Paz and enjoyed the wildlife show from the front porch :) Pura vida!

My stay at Casa la Paz was wonderful.  Lorena the manager was great!  She goes above and beyond to help with whatever one needs, and is super nice!  The owners, Rick and Juan, answer all questions very quickly and are extremely helpful and super friendly.  The house is beautiful and very tropical.  The house is in a  great location to walkable stores and restaurants and the bus stop.  Just hop on the bus and you will be at the beach in minutes or if your up for a fun walk to a beach that’s possible too.

Casa La Paz was spacious and beautifully decorated. The living area was very inviting and comfortable. The mattress was so comfy and the master a/c was a nice touch for sleeping. The kitchen had all you needed in appliances and a huge refrigerator. The open air concept in the main part of the house was amazing too! It rained while there and we really enjoyed it. We particularly appreciated the washer and dryer. We had been traveling 6 days without the ability to wash/dry our clothing. The hosts had a liaison Lorena to meet us  who was so friendly, helpful, accommodating and responsive! No lack of communication if you stay here! Our stay was too short and we plan on returning.

We are so happy you enjoyed the home's amenities, and we would be happy to welcome you back any time! :) Lorena loved meeting you. Pura vida!

This place was the most beautiful place on our entire Costa Rica trip. The equipment is very good and the bathroom of the master bedroom is really very, very nice. And best of all: we saw monkeys, tucans, hummingbirds and parrots at breakfast. The only thing that could be improved: In the second bedroom, air conditioning would have been desirable and the kitchen equipment could be partially renewed (for example, the noodle sieve).

Diese Unterkunft war die schönste Unterkunft unserer gesamten Costa Rica Reise. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut und das Bad des Hauptschlafzimmers ist wirklich sehr, sehr schön. Und das Beste: wir haben beim Frühstück im Garten Affen, Tucane, Kolibris und Papageien gesehen. Das einzige das verbessert werden könnte: Im zweiten Schlafzimmer wäre eine Klimaanlage wünschenswert gewesen und die Küchenausstattung könnte teilweise (zum Beispiel das Nudelsieb) erneuert werden.

Ricky and Juan's house was great! The location was  really good, and we saw monkeys, a sloth, macaws and hummingbirds all when sitting in the garden of the house. We even extended our stay with a few extra days because we loved it there! Highly recommended!

Thank you for staying at Casa La Paz, Armin! It was a pleasure having you all, and we are glad you enjoyed so much wildlife from the garden at the house. Pura vida!

We had a great stay with our family. The house is very well-equipped and secure. The terraces and gardens are beautiful. The decoration is in good taste. When we arrived, the manager gave us lots of information about the surroundings, beaches and activities. I would definitely come back and would highly recommend it

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille. La maison est très bien équipée et sécurisée. Les terrassés et les jardins sont superbes. La décoration est de bon goût. A notre arrivée, la responsable nous a donné pleins d’informations sur les environs, les plages et activités. J’y retournerais sans hésiter et je vous le recommande fortement

This place is perfect for a sweet, comfortable and cute place to stay near Manuel Antonio park.  Lorena, who greeted us, made us feel absolutely welcome and took care of all our questions and every need…and quickly.  Don’t go anywhere else.

We are so happy you had a great stay! :-) Lorena loved meeting you all. Pura vida!

Very responsive property manager, helpful and friendly. Save neighborhood

We had a wonderful stay at Casa La Paz. The house and the garden are fantastic. Unfortunately we stayed only for 2 nights. The house is only a 15 minute drive from Manuel Antonio NP. It is away from the hustle and bustle in a quiet area surrounded by jungle. Ricky and Juan gave us a lot of information, were always available and always answered quickly. As well as Lorena, who welcomed us at the house. She is also a very nice and helpful person.

We are so glad that you all enjoyed the home and the area! :-) Thank you for staying with us, Doris!
