Casa Carpe Diem, Manuel Antonio Beach - Houses for Rent in Manuel Antonio, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

The experience was amazing, the place itself was well equipped and we were all very happy and satisfied

Great place for families. The pool is awesome as well as the outside patio. Downstairs room is a little humid though

Great location. Close to all the restaurants and grocery shopping. Easy access. Alex, the host was extremely responsive and super helpful along with helping us plan all of our activities. I would highly recommend.

Alex was a great host always available for any questions we had. Also very helpful with local suggestions for food and activities. The place was really nice always well cleaned every day.

House was very spacious and well laid out.  Kitchen had everything you could want.  Super clean with maid service almost every day.  Pool was amazing. Howler monkeys would be in the trees above the pool almost every morning (sometimes early wake up call at 5am, but a cool experience). Saw acoutis from the deck area as well. A/C worked perfectly.  Very convenient to Manuel Antonio and Quepos.

This place was amazing and very close to everything, extremely clean and friendly staff. We loved it and will be back

We had a wonderful experience at this property. The location was perfect. The maid service was exceptional, keeping the home spotless and comfortable throughout our visit. We also thoroughly enjoyed the pool and outdoor areas, which were clean and well-maintained. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area.

The house is amazing with impeccable cleaning service, Alex is very attentive and friendly. I recommend this house 100%

La casa es increíble con un servicio de limpieza impecable, Alex es muy atento y amigable. Recomiendo esta casa 100%

Most beautiful Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. Couldn’t recommend it enough— cleanliness, location, communication from Alex, and most of all the experience being in the jungle!!! We got to see 2 types of monkeys ON our porch, toucans, kinkajous, sloths, macaws, lizards… it was like staying in our own personal safari! We went to Manuel Antonio park and it was stunning— the landscape, plants, animals and beaches were awesome, but we saw more at our place ;) We truly loved the perk of having a cleaning crew come daily. Sandra is a beautiful personable soul and we really connected with her. Everyone we interacted with at the property was super genuine and I can’t express enough how important that is when staying somewhere!! Thank you Alex for being an incredible & knowledgeable host, we appreciate you so very much! My friends and I will dream about this place forever!

The house  and the pool exceeded our expectations. Alexander was great! He was quick to respond to any questions or requests we had. We very much enjoyed our stay at Casa Carpe Diem!

My trip was a multi generational family trip of 9. We loved the main villa and pool area. We loved seeing monkeys, toucans and other habitat from the deck area. We walked and bused around the area. My 4 and 7 year old grandchildren did not want to leave. We hired a chef for 2 dinners and enjoyed that. My only disappointment was that the 2 apartment areas were dated and not nearly the quality of the main vila. It was uncomfortable for me to put 2 of my adult children in those spaces that felt inferior. Alex, the housekeeper, pool boy were all amazing. Thank you for your kindness.

The amazing place, the house super spacious and clean and Alexander very helpful and I support us in everything. Thank you very much!

El lugar increíble, la casa super amplia y limpia y Alexander muy servicial y nos apoyo en todo. Muchas gracias!

Gorgeous space with lots of communal space and privacy in the rooms. The jungle is in your backyard. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Alexander was helpful and friendly. The house is beautiful and centrally located. The pool is wonderful, we had a band of monkeys visit us on the porch, it feels safe and we can walk to good restaurants and it’s a short drive to beaches. We would love to come back.

What a fantastic place, even better than the pictures. We felt completely connected to the outdoors, and thoroughly enjoyed the pool. We saw more animals from the pool area than we saw in the park tour! Morning squirrel monkeys, a couple of toucans, and the highlight was a sloth lingering in the tree all afternoon … None of us wanted to leave. All agreed one of the best family vacations we have had, yes in large part due to amazing Manuel Antonio, but equally due to this place. Alex was super responsive and helpful. We really appreciate the early checkin he provided us. The entire staff was terrific.

We had a wonderful time at the house.  Great location and beautiful home close to all the attractions Manual Antonio has to offer..

Great house, very well located. Alexander is very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend

The house was beautiful and the host was very responsive. As others have said you see so much wildlife just being by the pool. The house is cleaned daily and was very neat. The downstairs apartment feels a bit outdated though and could use some fixing. Otherwise everything else was fantastic!

Super nice house! Very spacious and Alex was helpful with everything. Would definitely recommend and come back to stay if I ever revisit Costa Rica!

Alexander was a great host. He was at the house when we arrived and explained how everything worked. His local contacts were invaluable for us first-timers to Quepos and Manuel Antonio, enabling us to have in-house chefs, taxis and excursions at short notice. Some quick notes:﻿ Gated and locked compound, with place to park inside.. Very well equipped kitchen. Open floor plan including kitchen, dinette and living room. Floor to ceiling windows facing north, with views of the Bustamante volcano - my morning coffee favorite! Outstanding verandah, swimming pool and pool deck. Ample furniture. Capuchin monkeys visit the area daily, very cute behaviors. Numerous birds including long-tailed parrots. Ten minute taxi rides to the beaches, catamarans and M.A. State Park. Easy walk to grocery store and restaurants. Daily maid service including cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms, making the beds, sweeping throughout, and doing guest laundry upon request.

Carpe Diem was a great place for us to stay in the Manuel Antonio area. We had 2 families and fit comfortably in the home, and the kids played in the beautiful pool nonstop! The pool area is private and has a beautiful view. We loved being able to walk to markets and restaurants. Several beaches are a short drive, as well as the National Park.

The house is very spacious and only 5 minutes drive to the national park.

La casa es muy amplia y a solo 5 minutos manejando al parque nacional.

If you are looking for wildlife and a peaceful setting in nature, this is your spot!  This house is beautifully furnished and decorated and feels like home away from home.  The housekeeper came daily and kept the home tidy.  She even did our laundry!  We had daily visits from iguanas, monkeys (howler, squirrel, and capuchin), macaws, and even had a sloth in the tree above the pool!  We saw more wildlife at this house than we saw on our trip through the mangroves and our tour of Manuel Antonio National Park. It's a very private house, yet there are many restaurants and activities within walking distance.  We highly recommend Vista Verde Restaurant.  The food was amazing and reasonably priced.  All in all, we were very pleased with Casa Carpe Diem.  Beautiful home in the most beautiful country.

Thank you very much for the very cool review I am glad you enjoyed your stay

The Airbnb was great. Our favorite part was the private outdoor pool. There was also a lot of wildlife visits in the backyard. We saw toucans and got to feed squirrel monkeys from our hand!! There was a washing machine, dishwasher, and even maid service which was included with the Airbnb cost, so we were at ease. The downstairs suite in the home wasn’t great, but we didn’t mind since the upstairs portion had enough space for six people.

Overall an amazing place to stay for our family vacation. Alexander was extremely helpful and responsive throughout our stay and even brought us some board games after we mentioned that we had forgotten ours. Great hospitality.

Beautiful location! The staff was very helpful and responsive. The pool was my favorite. Saw many monkeys from the pool.

Alexander is an excellent host. The house is beautiful and clean. We loved spending time outside on the property-- swimming in the beautiful pool, eating at the nice outdoor table, lounging in the hammock, and watching the wildlife. With our young kids, it was quick and easy to take our rental car to nearby restaurants and markets and visit the beach (the hills would be a big walk with little ones).

Casa Carpe Diem is a dream location with a spectacular layout.  We instantly felt at home in a luxury setting.  With daily maid service, this was the perfect location for our extended family of eight, especially considering the sparkling clean lap pool.  Highly recommended.

Alexander was very helpful, he was always available. Nice place

We had a beautiful time here with our two toddlers. The staff was so great and the location was perfect for seeing the wildlife and still being close to stores. Alexander provided suggestions for food and provisions and was very responsive in helping with needs and suggestions.

Alexander has a very nice, clean, very comfortable house with a good internet connection. Communication with Alexander was super good and everything was very clear. We want to come back for sure!!

Alexander tiene una casa muy linda, limpia, muy confortable y con buena conexión a la internet. La comunicación con Alexander fue súper buena y todo muy claro. Queremos volver con certeza!!

Great house. Great wildlife right out our back door

House had a spectacular view, we actually saw monkeys and peacons from the back patio. Location was excellent as we were close to everything Quepos, Manuel Antonio Park, Mountain top park. Most restaurants were at walking distance. Neighborhood is clean, quiet and safe. Taxi and public transportation easily accessible. Alex was really 24/7 available. Very accommodating, resourceful and helpful. The maintenance guy and maid came every day but Sunday. Any concern was immediately addressed. Obviously, we only had 2 minors issues that Alex took care of right away. Great vacation spot.

it was amazing days!!!, the place, the house, the staff are very nice, friendly and close. A dream...much more than we expected! Thank you very much

fueron unos dias increíbles!!!, el lugar, la casa, el personal muy agradable, amable y cercano. Un sueño…Mucho mas de lo que esperábamos!! Mil gracias

What an incredible place! Our group of 6 loved: the clean and comfortable rooms; the beautiful view; the visits from monkeys, toucans, and macaws; the pool; the sheltered outdoor space; the well-equipped kitchen; and walkability to a supermarket and restaurants.

Casa Carpe Diem is a rare find. Big, outfitted house, amazing, giant pool, and lovely view, all for a great value. We got very lucky with wildlife too — Coati, Squirrel monkeys, Howler monkeys, Tucans, Scarlett Macaws, Mott Motts and more, all from the comfort of the pool. Staff was responsive and accommodating. Can’t recommend enough!

Great place in Manuel Antonio - the house was as described.  We wish there would have been a few more chairs in the living room - but we were mostly out enjoying the beautiful pool and beaches of Manuel Antonio.

Our family of 6 LOVED this place. The pictures are very accurate. House was cleaned daily and pool kept in perfect swimming condition. We had a visit from a big iguana hanging around front of home that went off into the jungle the house is nestled in as well as Cadpuchin monkeys visit on our last day! Wow what an amazing experience. Alex is more than a host he provides the best concierge service you could imagine. I booked everything through him transport from and to the airport, atv tour, in home chef dinner and he even got at home Covid testing done before our flight back home. House is very close to beaches and tons of excellent restaurants. Lastly I’ll say the place was very secure and all appliances, sinks, shower ect. worked great. Highly recommend Casa Carpe Diem

The pictures are just how the house is!   Very spacious and comfortable!   3 bedrooms on the top floor and a studio in the bottom floor.   Great wifi, nice SmartTV, and well equipped kitchen.   From the back deck/pool, we say tucans, macaos, and monkeys daily!   I would recommend this house for large groups or large families.   Alexander was very attentive and available at all times.

Incredible stay in Manuel Antonio. Extremely walkable to various restaurants and grocery store, sparkling clean, great pool, and a short drive to the beach. Excellent communication for check-in and check-out. Would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable and spacious. Great views. Well stocked home. And Alexander is a great host!

This is a wonderful house. We enjoyed the pool, the monkeys and the great open space design. Alexander was very helpful arranging tours and giving us recommendations. We would love to come again.

The house is beautiful, spacious, an incredible view from the pool and the host's service is amazing!

La casa es preciosa, espaciosa, una vista increíble desde la piscina y la atención del host increíble!

The house is just what they show in the pictures, bedrooms are comfortable, the whole house has AC, it has a LARGE swimming pool (you could perfectly use it to train), kitchen is well equiped and evething was pretty clean. Location is fine, about 5 minutes driving from the beach (wouldn't suggest walking in Manuel Antonio as you'd have pretty steep hills one way or the other). The host was amazing, he even gave us some free beer, pretty cool guy

Great house to stay in. Very spacious and comfortable.

House location is great. Easy walking access to main road. The pool and outdoor area are great as well. Although the house looks great in pictures, it really needs upkeeping. If you rent the whole house which includes the separate studio apartment that really needs to be completely upgraded. The refrigerator and kitchenette is pretty gross. We had issues with the shower not  draining and flooding from rain. With how much it rains in CR, this is a real problem. Alexander was very helpful. He arranged our transportation from the airport and some tours. He was very responsive to our issues as well. Sandra also did a fantastic job while we were there.

Hi Marta  thank you for the insight  the bathroom flooding was due to our main storm drain that was clogged on both ends with leaves, we took care of that  The shower drain does get clogged with hair from time to time, I apologize for that,   Im sorry you found the the fridge to be gross, as well as the counter top  I will inform the maid to be more detailed in the future  Thank you

Beautiful home and location! We enjoyed the amazing pool and daily visits from our monkey friends. The maid service was an unexpected gift making the trip very relaxing. We would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the Manuel Antonio area. Pura Vida!

Alexander was great and easy to communicate with. He was on timeto give me the keys and show me around. The Villa is true to its pictures, in a great location to everything in Manuel Antonio. I will definitely be booking again and recommend all to do as well!

A super comfortable house, very clean and in an excellent location.

Una casa súper confortable, muy limpia y con una excelente ubicación.

This is our second time to stay and as expected it was great!  The location is perfect and everything was ready for us to enjoy!

This place is amazing 100% recommended!!!

Very nice and spaceful place in Manuel Antonio, and excellent host, I would definitely rent it again when visiting Costa Rica Pacific region :-)

This place is a dream! The location is great, the house is gorgeous and clean, and Alex was incredibly helpful during our stay. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing, cozy and stylish space. Can't wait to return!

This Airbnb is one of a kind - the views, the hospitality, the pool, everything - it was amazing. Alex is an amazing host and is very responsive. Definitely adding this house to our Costa Rica list.

This is easily the best Airbnb I’ve stayed in. I wish I didn’t have to leave! The place is beautiful, and though it doesn’t have an ocean view, it has a great view of the jungle (we even had monkeys and a toucan visit us!). The private pool is a bit on the chilly side, but it feels great after spending the day in the sun. Location is perfect, within a short driving distance from all the great Manuel Antonio beaches and restaurants, but in a quiet, safe location. Last but not least, Alexander is a fantastic, super responsive host. He booked a couple of excursions (guided park tour & catamaran party boat) for us which were great! His staff (a cleaning lady and a pool boy) were great, too, and always kept the place immaculate for us to enjoy.

The house is extremely clean, the amenities are great. The house design is beautiful and Alexander is incredibly attentive and helpful. He responds quickly and comes by the house to check in and make sure everything is good. The house has a lady that comes to clean every day and a handyman that helps to keep the pool/backyard clean. The pool is incredible! Highly recommend staying here.

The villa is one of the unique places in costa and Alexsander is awesome guy that can arrange anything you need with pleasure .

A must see house . Spacious and clean . If you enjoy spacious open air concept, this place is for you .

This house is beautiful and perfect for families!  It is open, spacious, the pool is a great addition, and the daily cleaning is the icing on the cake!  Alex is great for suggesting what to do in the area and can get great deals on tours of any kind and will book for you and arrange pick up right out the front door.  He answered every question we had and within a few minutes!  He had recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and for any other request we had!  This is a great place to visit and bring your friends and family!  So glad we chose this house and area!

Very cool house design. Great for groups. Pool is shaded and therefore a bit chilly. But everything else was great.

This is a great place to be! Alexander is such a nice person and always willing to server when needed. The place was clean, the pool is amazing and we were able to see monkeys at the pool! We will definitely come back to this place!

The house is very nice, equipped with everything you need and Alexander is very friendly and helpful at all times, we had a great time!!

La casa muy bonita, equipada con todo lo necesario y Alexander muy amable y atento en todo momento, la pasamos super!!

I've stayed in this air bnb a couple times and it never disappoints! I love the home and location. I highly recommend staying here if you’re in the Manuel Antonio area. So close to the beach and tours set up conveniently for what you want to do. Alex is amazing! You’ll love this home! ♥️

Beautiful and comfortable house, spacious and the beds are very good.  Alexander exc attention and good recommendations. Note of 100.

Hermosa y cómoda casa, espaciosa y las camas muy bien.  Alexander exc atención y buenas recomendaciones. Nota de 100.

Gorgeous house very close drive to restaurants and the beach. Great house layout for a family and amazing views with a pool. Alexander was a fantastic host. We even had someone clean the house daily for us. He was also very gracious and let us stay a little later than check out to be able to go to the beach one last time and clean up to leave. Highly recommend this place! My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay with no issues.

Excellent location in the park, very clean house and with everything you need to spend a weekend,  the pool is amazing, Alexander is very attentive,  a little musty smell but I think it's because of the weather, I would repeat it again

Excelente ubicación en el parque, casa muy limpia y con todo lo que necesitas para pasar un fin de semana,  la piscina increíble,  Alexander muy pendiente,  un poquito olor a humedad pero creo que es por el clima, lo repetiría de nuevo

The house is amazing and the host, Alex is extremely helpful with anything needed to make the stay more enjoyable.  We had a great time and cant wait to be back.  I highly recommend Carpe Diem.

Great place to stay. Host arranged for activities and space was well maintained

Beautiful and super clean house with an even nicer pool

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! WE WILL BE BACK. BEST VACATION AND STAY WE HAVE EXPERIENCED! IF YOURE LOOKING AT THIS PLACE TO BOOK, YOU won't BE DISAPPOINTED!

Very great house with great location as shown in the photos! Everything worked out great! We were 5 friends and 1 couple so 7t which was actually quite expensive but a lot of luxury for that! If for 8:As the 7th and 8th person, I would rather recommend a couple again, as the bed downstairs is quite small for 2 friends. Thank you manyisimas gracias Alex!

Sehr tolles Haus mit toller Lage wie auf den Fotos! Alles hat super geklappt! Wir waren 5 Freunde und 1 Pärchen also zu 7t was im Endeffekt schon recht teuer war aber dafür viel Luxus! Wenn zu 8:Als 7. und 8. Person würde ich dann eher nochmals ein Pärchen empfehlen, da das Bett unten recht klein ist für 2 Freunde. Dankeschön muchisimas gracias, Alex!

We really liked this place; we felt like home away from home and it was perfect! The fact there was a cleaning lady each day was a huge suprise for us and we really enjoyed it. Alexander also gave us a recommendation for a chef at home, it was delicious, we regret not taking it more often! We went there with little kids (a baby, a 3 and a 5 years old) and the house was perfect for them: a lot of space to play, a nice pool, things to do near the house... Perfect for our family! We didn’t use it, but the « bachelor » downstair is perfect if some of your fellow travelers wants to have some privacy. I strongly recommend this place!

Amazing house with a great view, refreshing pool and close to everything. Keep in mind, you’re not a quick walk to the beach, but we knew this before getting there. Great location. We’d love to come back!

This place is absolutely beautiful. Alexander and company are fantastic hosts who provide just about anything you can dream up. We had 1st time international travelers with us and this place certainly set the bar high. Would definitely book again.

Alex was very attentive without being intrusive. He arranged a car from the airport and we had a lovely 2.5 hour drive. I later found out a plane is available for the transfer too. The home is in a great location within walking distance to fabulous restaurants. Cute house with a magical view of mountains and a refreshing pool. The sheets are soft, the coffee amazing and nothing like waking up to howler monkeys in the morning. The beach is a medium hike or a short drive. Perfect girls weekend. Can’t wait to come back with my family.

Great host and the house was better then expected. Fantastic location, highly recommend.

This house is in the perfect location to all that Manuel Antonio has to offer and is only a short drive to Quepos and Jaco. Beautiful house and the host was very helpful. Would highly recommend!

5 stars across the board! What an incredible gem in Quepos. The home is absolutely gorgeous and has such a cool and relaxing layout. Enough space to spread out, the kitchen was perfect, all the bedrooms thoughtfully decorated and cozy. We had everything we needed. Check in and communication was timely and really helpful. Alex had great tips and was super informative. The location couldn’t have been better. Only 10 min to Manuel Antonio national park and really close to all the great restaurants, bars and supermarkets. We had adorable white faced monkeys hanging out with us while we ate lunch which added to the entire rainforest experience. You will love your stay at Casa Carpe Diem!
