Home in Manuel Antonio

Casa Bamboo is a wonderful home away from home! The concierge, Susan, was very helpful and responsive - she showed up 5 minutes after we discovered the keys were locked inside the house to rescue us! Being completely surrounded by the rainforest was an amazing experience. We were visited by monkeys, we saw a sloth in the tree, and we listened to the sounds of howler monkeys at sunrise and sunset. The housekeepers did an amazing job of keeping everything clean, including laundry, so it felt like a true vacation. Maybe important to know - the house is at the bottom of a very steep neighborhood. We had no trouble getting taxis to come to us. But if you want to take the bus to town, I believe you have to walk to the top of the neighborhood, which was prohibitive for my in-laws. The rest of us made it fine, and there is a great spot just outside the neighborhood with restaurants and a souvenir shop. A few minute drive to beautiful beaches and many adventurous activities. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home & separate casita was perfect for our 3 generation family reunion. We played in the pool everyday & enjoyed the pool table as well. The open air concept works here, with the fans blowing its comfortable even in rainy season. Beds were comfortable & it was nice to see cotton sheets instead of the microfiber- hot & sticky. Bathroom had the essentials. Glad there was an outdoor shower by the pool & plenty of towels for everyone and even took them to the beach. Susan our concierge is super helpful. Knows everyone in town and had good recommendations. The cleaning staff & grounds/ pool maintenance was also professional and kind. Enjoyed laundry service! We love coming to Costa Rica because the people are happy, friendly & helpful The kitchen island had plenty of barstools for kids to sit and eat or chat & the dining table had 10 chairs. Enough for everyone. Saw monkeys,bird, butterflies & lizards. Missed the sloth here but saw one at the beach. Pura Vida!

Incredible house with all the luxuries listed. Concierge service and every resource available at your finger tips. It made our special trip just that more special. We loved sitting on the lanai and see the monkeys and sloth in their natural environment. Great place to stay with a larger family or a group of friends. Plenty of space for all.

This was a fantastic home. It was very peaceful and welcoming. Such fabulous landscaping all around. Susan made all our arrangements so we didn't have to lift a finger. We did three of the tours that were recommended and they were top notch. Laura the housekeeper was such a treat for us. It was so nice not having to do dishes and being able to return from a vacation with not all the laundry to do!  We would absolutely stay here again if returning to CR.

Just lovely place. Fit the six of us very well, and after a day full of activities, it was the perfect place to come home too serene and yet close to everything, plenty of places to be social, the pool was amazing, and we all loved it! Highly recommend

Place was amazing. We had a group of 8 and rented both main house and casita, and both were fantastic. Scott gave us great recommendations and communicated very well. Susan was there to greet us and she was wonderful, before and during our stay. Laura was extremely nice and helpful! Chefs Roberto and Alexandro were amazing as well, dinner was one of the best we had. Our entire group had such a great time we are definitely considering coming back soon. Dozens of squirrel monkeys visited us one morning which was an added fun bonus.

The perfect house for our annual family getaway! Everything was spotless and the wildlife really put in a show for us while we were there! Lots of monkeys, a resident sloth & tucans. Scott and his team were amazingly helpful, attentive. House keeping was amazing and the chef we had come in and cook us dinner a couple of nights was just superb. Exceeded all expectations. Pure Vida!!!

This was an amazing stay !! Four friends and I went together and had ample space. Scott’s concierge was amazing in helping us book activities and give us extra information about the area. Truly amazing experience and am looking forward to staying here again !

We really enjoyed our stay here. Susan was a great help with tour suggestions and setting up our chef for dinners. Plenty of room , having housekeeping daily was great. We absolutely loved chef Renzo and his assistants Roberto and Jeff. The food was amazing, plenty of options and they were just really nice, kind people. Our 8 year old granddaughter was constantly in the kitchen talking with them and they were very patient and kind. We did have a little trouble finding the place and it is only walkable in a small area. Definitely need a car or driver to go to beaches.

We LOVED our stay in Manuel Antonio.  The house was spacious, clean, and the location was perfect for us.  Being able to work with Susan, the Concierge, as part of our stay to book excursions was an added bonus. Susan warmly welcomed us to the home and was very supportive in helping us finalize our itinerary and activities.   As has been mentioned in other reviews - our family very much enjoyed being able to sit on the patio or by the pool to watch the monkeys come and go.

We had such a wonderful stay at Casa Bamboo! A troop of monkeys and a sloth popped into the nearby trees at our arrival which was magical. The house is a great set up for two families or one very large family with each room providing lots of space to unpack and feel at home. The house is private and safe and kids really enjoyed the pool. Chef Roberto was incredible - highly recommend hiring him for at least a couple of days or meals. Lastly the daily housekeeping and laundry was such a perk. Thank you for having us!

Incredible location in the rainforest with monkeys, sloths and other wildlife literally in your backyard! Our whole group was in awe of the location. Susan, the concierge, made all the activities reservations seamless and super convenient. The chefs, Roberto and Renzo were amazing , whipped out 4 course meals in the kitchen while we enjoyed ourselves on the pool deck and even cooked kid friendly options! Maid and laundry service made the stay effortless and convenient! Serenity, privacy , service and wild nature - what else can you ask for !?

This house is amazing, along with the staff!  The beautiful scenery and all the animals we saw at the house was stunning!  Great location. Would highly recommend this house.

I visited Casa Bamboo early in March 2026, the house is conveniently located 10 minutes away from Quepos downtown, within walking distance of super markets and 15 minutes away from Manual Antonio national park. It is located in a beautiful, private and quiet neighborhood surrounded by nature and wild life. The house is well equipped, clean and, Susan, the house admin is friendly, responds quickly and resolves questions and requests. Having check in at 3pm I think it's fair to ask for check out at 11am, not 10am.

We loved the villa! The communication with Susan was useful as we booked most of our activities through her. She gave us many interesting tips. We highly recommend Casa Bamboo!

We went with my family—six adults and two children—. We loved the place and had a wonderful vacation!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, spotless, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing time. It truly felt like a home away from home.

The concierge service was exceptional — very responsive, helpful, and attentive to every detail. We especially appreciated the option of laundry service, which made our stay even more convenient. Although we didn’t use the private chef service, it’s such a fantastic benefit to have available for those nights when you prefer not to cook or go out.

Overall, an amazing experience. We would absolutely stay here again!

Best place ever. We even had our own visiting sloth! Plenty of monkeys, Toucans, Parrots also. The house is beautiful and the jungle setting is spectacular!

I recently had the pleasure of staying in a wonderful house in Manuel Antonio with my family, and I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. Susan and Scott, our hosts, were incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home. They provided us with great local tips and recommendations, which really enhanced our trip. The house itself was cozy, beautifully maintained, and offered stunning views of the surrounding nature. It was the perfect retreat after a day of exploring the nearby national park and beaches. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic stay in Manuel Antonio. We can't wait to return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing location and property! We loved our stay and would recommend 100%!

The person in charge helped me with everything, just one day the neighbors made a lot of noise and they fixed it quickly. The cleanliness was always good. Maybe for the time of year, the place is very humid. Everything else was good. If I have to go back, I recommend it

La persona encargada me ayudó en todo, solo un días los vecinos hacían mucho ruido y me lo solucionaron rápido. La limpieza siempre fue buena.tal vez por época el lugar es muy húmedo. Lo demás todo bien. Si tengo que volver si lo recomiendo

Great house right in the center of Manuel Antonio - easy to get everywhere. House was well stocked and very clean. Would highly recommend to stay here

Phenomenal place. Great pool! Plenty of space. Well stocked kitchen. We cannot say anything anything negative about Casa Bamboo.

Beautiful place. Just like the photos, very clean. Everything was perfect, we saw monkeys, and sloths. Excellent 👌

lugar hermoso. igual a las fotos, muy limpio. todo perfecto, vimos monos, y perezosos. excelente 👌

The place is back into the jungle quite a bit. There are other houses in the area, but it’s very private was a sloth a couple of them above the pool and regular monkey visits.. the area with the state park is gorgeous. The drive from San Jose is brutal. Don’t do it at night. It rained like crazy but only half the day the rest of the day nobody was around so it was great.

Great accom in Manuel Antonio! Amazing support by Susan who helped before and throughout the trip. Easy to get around! And the place was kept clean everyday. Really good for a big group!

We enjoyed Casa Bamboo and all of the wildlife we got to experience while on the property. 6 white face monkeys came onto the patio, 2 toucans hung out in the trees above us and 1 lovely sloth hang out in the tree above the pool. The animal sightings at the home were in some ways better than manual Antonio park! Susan did a great job welcoming us and as she had recommended the private chef, we booked him and his assistant for the entire duration of our trip. He made wonderful meals and we enjoyed his company and recommendations too. The location was private and yet very accessible to lots of restaurants and a supermarket down the road. We would love to visit again!

Beautiful big home. 4 bed, 4 bath upstairs and down stairs kitchen and living room. An awesome sloth and lives in the trees was so cool. Never a bother and just hanging around. Would go back to this house.

We absolutely loved La Casa Bamboo! The concierges Susan and Wai were both very helpful and a relief to have as a resource, and the housekeeper, Neysi, was a true highlight. There is a  sloth that lives in the tree closest to the house and would make its way down to be fully visible mid day on sunny days, and we truly delighted in his presence every day!It felt magical to just be immersed in the ecosystem. The walk up to the nearby shops and restaurants is very steep but absolutely gorgeous and good exercise. If you’re coming from the US wondering what to do for transportation outside of any tours you plan to do (absolutely work in at least one in your budget—you see parts of the country you wouldn’t otherwise and learn so much from the guides who are bilingual), my recommendation would probably be to plan on taking a taxi, which the concierge will set you up to do so you are successful in that endeavor. We loved our stay and hope to one day have the means to return! Pura vida!

Wow! What an incredible property. The house is great, but the highlight was the wildlife. We saw a family of monkeys playing in the trees and a sloth hanging out right over the amazing pool. The host was highly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. A 10/10 stay!

Our stay was amazing! Susan was super helpful in planning activities, answering questions, and helping us navigate the area.  Neysi was also great and did a wonderful job! She did our laundry daily and cleaned the house. The best part of our stay was our sloth. He stayed over the pool deck and would move almost to the balcony every afternoon. We got amazing pictures and videos. We also had visits from the monkeys every afternoon. Scott’s place is definitely a gem in Costa Rica. Our group enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning!

We stayed at this home for 8 days and had an amazing time. The house was clean, well-maintained, and the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable; a real bonus after long days of exploring. The pool was perfect to cool off and relax each afternoon. The location is fantastic, close to beaches and restaurants, and we saw different kinds of monkeys almost every day, plus three sloths during our stay! Host communication was excellent. Scott was flexible and accommodating when we needed to adjust our reservation, and the concierge, Susan, was quick to respond and helpful with every question we had. But the true highlight of our stay was the housekeeper, Neysi. She was friendly, thoughtful, and thorough; an absolute joy to be around. Her attention to detail and warm personality made a great trip even better. She’s a true gem and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this property!

Absolutely LOVED the home!!! Very clean and very communicative. The sloth and monkeys in the backyard were a huge bonus! Highly recommend!

Had a great time with family at Casa Bamboo. Beautiful location where we saw a small sloth climbing the tree right above the pool.

Home and property were in great shape. very clean and comfortable. Had visit from capuchin monkeys during our stay and saw two sloths in the trees on the property!

We loved our stay at Scott's! Everything was absolutely perfect. The space was clean, warm and carefully decorated. The beds were extremely comfortable, which allowed us to rest well. The place offered an intimate and peaceful environment while being very close to the city, where we were able to enjoy great restaurants, beautiful shops and beautiful beaches nearby. The pool was also very nice: comfortable, refreshing and immaculately kept. Scott offered exceptional service, always available and attentive. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. This is a place we would definitely recommend and where we would definitely like to come back!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Scott ! Tout était absolument parfait. Le logement était propre, chaleureux et décoré avec soin. Les lits étaient extrêmement confortables, ce qui nous a permis de bien nous reposer. L’endroit offrait un environnement intime et paisible tout en étant tout près de la ville, où nous avons pu profiter d’excellents restaurants, de belles boutiques et de magnifiques plages à proximité. La piscine était également très agréable : confortable, rafraîchissante et parfaitement entretenue. Scott a offert un service exceptionnel, toujours disponible et attentionné. Nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous dès notre arrivée. C’est une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésitation et où nous aimerions certainement revenir !

Had a great time at Casa Bamboo. Everything was as described and the house was beautiful, perfectly placed, and tidy. Would definitely stay here again.

My friends and I had a dream vacation at this house. We saw monkeys, toucans, and macaws from the house. Monkeys literally swarmed around us. The staff were excellent. We had a chef twice and the food and service were fabulous. The cleaning staff were helpful and then out of the way. The star for me was Susan, the concierge who was responsive and helpful every step of the way. I would stay here again.

very comfortable and spacious house, good communication with the owners.

casa muy cómoda y espaciosa, buena comunicación con los propietarios.

Very happy with our stay at Scott’s place. The house is so beautiful, surrounded by wild greens and animals. The monkeys visited us almost every day. Susan was extremely helpful and responsive to any questions we had about food, trips, shopping or anything else. The whole staff taking care of us was very friendly and kind. We would definitely recommend staying here.

We highly recommend Casa Bambu. The hosts are incredible, the concierge amazing and we had a wonderful and comfortable holiday. Thank you again!

Casa Bamboo was perfect and larger than what we needed for 3 couples on a relaxing vacation. The ambiance was so peaceful, I could read on the patio or by the pool for hours (the days that we didnt go out on excursions). The maid service was amazing and so kind, she also came in and washed any clothes we left in the hamper daily, immaculate cleaning daily. Susan (Host) always answered within minutes and had responses or suggestions for anything we asked about ex: food delivery options, grocery delivery service, chef recommendation, we woke up one day w an alarm beeping every couple of seconds and she gave me the solution on how to make it make it stop. We did see beautiful butterflies, birds and some monkeys playing in the trees one afternoon. Do lock the glass doors, or you will have raccoons visit overnight and leave a nice mess for you to clean up after.

Great home for a family vacation. Went as a group of 14 and rented the guest house.  Everything was great and the house caretakers were always there and attentive to our needs. Fixed a TV and coffee maker, quickly and effectively.  Plenty of tours to choose from and they all picked us up at the driveway. looking forward to coming back to Manuel Antonio as many times as possible. Pura Vida, Mae

best ab&b ever ❤️ and I have been to more than few......trust me. PURA VIDA!!

Loved the location! The amount of wildlife we saw from the house was incredible! Laura the housekeeper was the best part. She was so kind and did a thorough job and our place was always spotless. Laundry done everyday was the biggest perk!!

this home is a lovely home, located inside the rainforest. It was comfortable and enjoyable. The location is close to the stores and restaurants in Manuel Antonio (walkable if you don't mind steep grades.) During our stay we saw monkeys almost daily, white-faced, squirrel and even a howler. There were sloths in the trees over the pool. Other birds and wildlife is abundant. Laura was a wonderful housekeeping. It is nice to have someone cleaning while you're staying for a lengthy period. Overall, I recommend Scott's Bambu House for a nice getaway.

Our stay at Casa Bamboo was amazing!!! From the location, amenities, owner/concierge communication and all the recommendations for activities were all 5 star!!! Also the additional services of concierge, cleaning & laundry were unlike anywhere else we have stayed.

Wow.  In 35 years of family vacationing, we've never stayed in a place we've loved more. It's not just that the house is immaculate, extremely comfortable, has daily maid service, and is beautifully situated in a forest so you can search for sloths as you have coffee in the open-air living room or sit by the pool. It's also the wonderful people Scott introduced to us: Susan, our concierge who helped us choose and plan many remarkable daily tours and outings,  and Chef Renzo, who prepared delicious breakfasts and dinners each day in the large kitchen, picked up extra groceries that we requested, and let us choose from the amazing appetizers, salads, main dishes (with lots of fresh fish options) and deserts on his menu.  If your family loves nature and wildlife, wants to explore the beauty of the Costa Rican coast without touristy environs and stressful decisions, and appreciates the creature comforts of home but the cuisine of a Tico, this home is for you. Pura Vida.

There isn't enough space here to fully describe how amazing our stay was at Casa Bamboo. We wanted to "splurge" on a special stay that could be our home base while in Manuel Antonio, and this place far exceeded our expectations. From the start, Scott and Susan (the on-site host) were uber communicative and made sure we had everything coordinated from the moment we arrived through when we checked out. We saw two sloths from the balcony (one we named "Larry" who was there every day), numerous monkeys, tucans, and more! The maid service was unexpected, but having the place cleaned and laundry done every day was super helpful. Susan provided a menu of experiences for us to book as "extras", of which we chose two: the ziplining and chef service. If you take anything away from this review, GET THE CHEF SERVICE. If not for a day, at least do one meal. The prices are not expensive at all. Chef Roberto was one of the highlights of our trip and honestly took our vacation to the next level.

Casa Bamboo was incredible! We stayed 9 nights with another family (5 adults, 4 kids 6-9). Chef Renzo came in and cooked for us 4 nights plus one breakfast, and was absolutely incredible! We chose the menu, and he and his sous chef shopped, cooked, and cleaned. Our daughter turned 9 one of the nights he was cooking and he made it really special with a menu she picked and an absolutely gorgeous chocolate cake. Laura the housekeeper was amazing and kept things spotless, while doing laundry for us daily. Susan the concierge made arrangements for four tours for us and they were all top notch with transportation from the house. The back yard wildlife was amazing! a baby sloth hung out directly over the pool for several days. We also saw white-faced monkeys daily, toucans (two days), agouti, squirrel monkeys (a whole crowd of them), and much more. We keep asking each other how we can ever match this vacation - it was truly unbelievable.

We had a wonderful time at Casa Bamboo. It was perfect for my extended family of 9, and a just a quick drive to the beach. The layout allowed for privacy and also for wonderful family time. I especially appreciated the pool that had a shallow section that my 14 month old granddaughter could play in, and a deeper area for the older grandkids and adults. The service was great and someone came to clean the house each day. I recommend getting Roberto, the personal chef, for breakfasts and dinners. He made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable.

This was the best airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. The house was gorgeous and spacious with an amazing pool. Laura was a great housekeeper. It was so nice to return to a clean out every day. We also had Rainier, the chef, come over one night and he made a fantastic dinner. Highly recommend this place!

We enjoyed the stay at the villa , it’s centrally located in Manuel Antonio. We got to see sloths and monkeys outside too and the chef services are highly recommended

We had a great time staying here. The house is huge, there are a lot of living spaces so you can have space away from the group you are traveling with if you want it. We saw monkeys, birds and even a sloth right in the backyard. The pool was nice - we used it everyday in the afternoon to cool off. The housekeeper Laura was fantastic. She came everyday we were there and did a great job keeping the place clean for us - she even did our laundry for us (you are not able to do laundry yourself there). The location is good, just a few minutes from many restaurants and a 10 minute drive to Manuel Antonio national park. There is a grocery store just down the street as well. We felt very safe here - there is a security guard and there is also a gate that requires a passcode to enter the community. Overall, I would recommend this house and I would stay here again.

We had a great stay at casa bamboo! There were 8 of us, 4 couples. We had plenty of space and Susan the concierge helped us plan lots of fun activities. Also, the maid Laura was amazing and not only cleaned the place but washed and folded our laundry each day. We would highly recommend hiring Chef Renzo and Antonio for meals, they made delicious dinner and it was a great way to end the days after adventuring. We loved our stay and would definitely choose it again!

What a stunning place. Would suit a large group of couples. There were just 3 of us, we were spoilt but still good value. The monkeys come out around 5pm onwards too which just adds to how great this place is. The pool is superb too, highly recommended

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Bamboo. Susan was highly responsive and helped us to arrange several excursions. The house is lovely and so peaceful. The wildlife that visited the house was amazing - we were able to see toucans, monkeys, and two sloths! Highly recommended and if we come back, we would definitely stay here again.

Scott's villa was exactly as described. Very peaceful and amazing place to the gateway with family or friends. We booked last minute and everything was arranged for us upon check-in. Susan, the concierge, was very helpful and welcoming upon our arrival. Laura cleaned the villa everyday and was also very friendly and respectful. We had monkeys visit us almost daily, the pool was refreshing; our kids had a blast. Easy to drive in and out. We would book again without a doubt. Thanks again!

Our stay at Casa Bambu was amazing! The house is beautiful & had more room than we even needed for our group of 6. Almost every day we had a pair of scarlet macaws in our trees while we ate breakfast & a group of monkeys to watch in the late afternoons while we swam in the pool. The house really is a part of the jungle! Our host & concierge were extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations & excursion bookings, & our housekeeper did a fantastic job of keeping the place spotless & washing our clothes. The laundry service was an unexpected bonus that was very much appreciated as we were changing out of sweaty jungle-hiking clothes or wet beach ware a couple of times a day. The only nitpick I can think of is that a couple of the showers had backwards &/or confusing temperature controls that we didn’t figure out until the last day, but a few cold showers were no big deal in the whole scheme of things. 10/10! Highly recommended!

Had a great 50th birthday. Wild life was amazing.  We had spa day at house for the day when guys fished. Our chef was the best part of trip. My only complaint was our one excursion was canceled and we didn't receive confirmation soon enough to plan for something else.  We were all dressed and ready to go.  I will definitely be coming back.  Thanks for sharing your place with our family

Wonderful place! We had 2 families (4 adults, 5 kids ages 5-14) and had more than enough room for all. If all we had done was stay at the beautiful pool and watch the troops of monkeys that came through every afternoon, including endangered squirrel monkeys who came right up to the pool, it would’ve been worth every penny. But we got so much more. Great location right next to Manuel Antonio national park. Book the private guided tour there - we learned so much and our guide pointed out animals (like 2 and 3-toed sloths and howler monkeys ) we would otherwise have missed. Close to some beautiful beaches and the marina, and Susan sent us pins to the best beaches and gave us parking tips. Laura cleaned and did our laundry every day, so we could pack light and didn’t have to spend a whole day doing laundry when we got home. Chef Renzo was so friendly and cooked some great seafood and gallo pinto for us. Great place, great vacation!

Casa Bambu met & exceeded our expectations. We were a party of 9 friends & could not have enjoyed our stay more. The house is beautiful & beautifully maintained. Having a housekeeper daily was just perfect. We saw howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys & spider monkeys as well as a sloth in the trees around the property, quite a treat. You feel like you are part of Manuel Antonio National Park. Susan, the concierge is very responsive & super helpful. Scott also responds promptly & is very helpful. You won’t be disappointed if you choose Casa Bambu.

Our family of 8 had a wonderful trip!  5 stars all the way!  The set up of the house was perfect for our family.  My son's family (with 3 kids ages 12, 8, and 6) stayed on the ground level.  We stayed on the upper level.  Plenty of space for all.  The lanai was absolutely my favorite spot.  The entire family sat out there each morning eating breakfast and watching for wildlife.  We saw it all!  Capuchin monkeys, white faced monkeys, and howler monkeys.  Iguanas, agouti, the blue butterfly, and the sloth.  Laura the housekeeper and Chef Renzo were the best!  Susan was so helpful with our tours including zip lining, surfing, Manuel Antonio National Park, and Waterfall tour.  If you like nature and adventure... this is your place!

This house had room for everyone and beautiful jungle views. We liked the security and Susan (local host) was great. We enjoyed relaxing in and by the pool and grilled two meals. We also saw some monkeys!

Casa Bambu is spacious, comfortable and centrally located with easy access via a car to the playa. Susan the concierge was super helpful and responsive in terms of securing a guide for the park, finding a local market and gas station, and other basics. Would stay here again.

Our stay at Casa Bambu was absolutely amazing. From the monkeys, sloth, and countless birds outside our door; to Susan’s knowledge of the area and assistance with booking restaurant reservations and excursions; to Laura’s daily service; we couldn’t have asked for a more memorable and enjoyable stay. The home was immaculate and adequately equipped. It was conveniently located close to restaurants, grocery, and the beach yet far enough away to provide us with privacy and our own slice of jungle paradise. Highly recommend including  Casa Bambu in your travel plans

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Bambu. The service from all the staff was amazing. Our kids loved the pool it wasn’t too deep which was great and felt very safe. We hired Roberto the chef for dinners and breakfasts and he was awesome it really felt like a vacation when we didn’t have to cook.

Amazing house with amazing service from the property manager, housekeeper, and owner. Truly felt like a luxury experience.

Spacious and beautiful accommodations-easy access to all the activities at Manual Antonio-completely equipped kitchen-

We had an amazing stay! It is right next to the jungle so we saw an abundance of animals! We had daily visits from monkeys that were very entertaining. There is daily housekeeping and she does your laundry which was an amazing perk. There is also the option of a chef to come in for additional cost and was well worth it. The food was delicious. It is located in a nice spot and lot of amazing restaurants, stores and the beach are all close by. I would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful place, well maintained, just like the pictures, and so much wildlife visible from the poolside! Scott and Susan were very responsive hosts and having help from laura the maid was an unexpected treat! The only slight problem was that we hadn’t realised that the upper and lower floors were separate units, we weren’t too happy about being separated from the kids, but we got used to it, and overall we really enjoyed our stay! The location is fab, having a car is handy but there are lots of buses too. This place is highly recommended!

Thank you for the review and we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Bamboo.  The floorplan is designed so that it can be used as one big house or it can be used as two different spaces.  We have chosen to use it solely as one large home as we believe this is the best option for our guest.  We hope that us offering you another accommodation in one of our other nearby homes as an alternative and allowing you a late check out to further enjoy your time at Casa Bamboo, helped make up for the concern.  Our small community is one of the very few that offers both a gated entrance and 24/7 security which makes it very secure and comfortable for families especially with small children.

Casa Bamboo was just right for our family vacation. Echoing other comments, it is comfortable and spacious, with an open balcony on the second floor for meals, relaxing and looking out at the surrounding nature. Our family of two parents and three adult children could be together but also all have our own space. Everyone we interacted with made things easy. We appreciated Susan’s thoughtful support and expertise in arranging the details of our trip; she helped us to choose great outings for our group and was available to answer questions. And Laura, who came to clean every day and kept the house spotless, was warm and nice. We enjoyed the seclusion and beauty of the house and surroundings while also being able to walk to town (the hilly driveway was good exercise!) - as well as the ease of taking taxis when needed. We were first-time visitors to Costa Rica and recommend Casa Bamboo and the town of Manuel Antonio as a destination - so much to do and a great place to be overall.

The house is beautiful, even better than the photos indicated. It was perfect for our group of 9. Susan, the concierge, was so helpful and responsive, and Scott’s communications were excellent. Great stay!

This was the most spectacular beautiful property we’ve ever stayed in!  The property is absolutely gorgeous, spotless, and so Amazing. It’s exactly as seen in the photos. We travelled with another family and this house was perfect. The concierge, Susan, is outstanding and world class!  The maid, Laura was so sweet and she kept the house spotless for us and even did our laundry every day!  We arranged for a private chef for breakfast and dinner daily and Chef Kakula did not disappoint, delicious! Everything was superb!  We will definitely be back. We seriously were treated like royalty and didn’t want to leave. Don’t hesitate to book this property, you will not regret it, I promise!

The house is very nice and spacious Quiet place in the mountains for a good weekend with family or friends 100% recommended

La casa muy linda y amplia Lugar tranquilo en la montaña para pasar un buen fin de semana en familia o amigos 100% recomendada

This place is wonderful! I’m so glad we chose Casa Bamboo! We saw just as much wildlife from the pool outside as we did inside the Manuel Antonio park. Lots of monkeys, birds, lizards, and even a slot right outside the pool. Chef Renzo prepared breakfast and dinner for us while we were there and no joke… out of all the places we hit in Costa Rica, his meals were our favorite! We went fishing and he cooked what we brought back. Concierge Wai was incredible at helping us get around and getting tours scheduled for us. All the staff gave great recommendations on things to do. Housekeeping was amazingly friendly and did our laundry every day. Seriously… best AirBnb I’ve stayed in so far!

Do not hesitate to book this house. Everything is amazing. Susan will help make your trip seamlessly perfect. From booking the excursions, helping with taxis, recommendations and coming to our rescue even when we needed some basic medical help. Laura the house keeper is so sweet and will keep the place tidy daily and even do your laundry. Renzo and Roberto the chefs are a must. Any mom who sometimes feels like an air b n b isn't always a vacation because you still need to clean up and cook them this is the house for you. Book the chefs after every excursion. You won't regret it. And on your off days you can find plenty of great restaurants nearby. And many places deliver as well.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Bamboo! Beautiful home and property! Wildlife made morning coffee entertaining! Will definitely book again and highly recommend.

It's a beautiful location and feels secluded.  Lots of birds flying overhead and there were "shows" put on by monkeys and sloths in the trees, but they did not come down and attempt to interact with us.  The house worked extremely well for our family of 7, including kids ages 8 and 10.  The hill required to walk up to town is daunting, but worth it once you do.  The tours we took worked like clockwork, in terms of pick up at the house.  Cabs from the beach or town were always $10.   Housekeeping staff, Concierge Susan and Chef were excellent!

Our crew of friends had an amazing time at this listing in Manuel Antonio. Not only is it close to local hikes and beaches but it’s truly set in the jungle and we saw monkeys, sloths, toucans and more all in the backyard. Highly recommend taking advantage of the home cooked dinner offering!

Casa Bamboo is a peaceful oasis surrounded by the beauty of the jungle and easily accessible to all that Manuel Antonio has to offer. It surpassed all expectations and allowed us the opportunity to embrace the natural setting and warmth of the people of Costa Rica. Just look up! After spending the day at spectacular beaches, we looked forward to returning to our “special hideaway” that enabled us to decompress, relax, and escape the stress of our lives. In addition, what made our visit so special was the outstanding staff, who worked diligently to provide optimal care of the home with kindness, superb work ethic, and willingness to please guests. We found that the hidden gem of our story was Susan, our concierge. She is a talented and caring individual, anticipates your needs, provides guidance from the simplest questions, and proactively coordinated with a wedding event that took place during our extended stay. Scott worked patiently with us; we are grateful. Highly recommend! Gracias

Casa Bamboo is an oasis in the rainforest. It was exactly what needed as a blended family of six adults ages 27-73 with a couple of special needs. Because of this, the concierge, Susan, was essential for our trip. She helped us plan airport transfers, taxis, massages, activities, and chef dinners. The place itself is private, spacious, comfortable, and super clean. There is cleaning and laundry service everyday by a lovely housekeeper. We were visited by monkeys, birds, butterflies, and even had a sloth sighting. It was a great experience in Costa Rica and we’re glad we chose this spot.

Me and my group of girls had a great time staying at Casa Bamboo. The location was perfect for excursions and getting into the city easily. And I can’t brag on Susan enough, she was so nice, so helpful, guided us with any and everything we needed. We also had A cleaning service that did a great job keeping up with the home as we were out. 5/5 highly recommend Casa Bamboo for you Costa Rica stay

This house is so spacious, beautiful, and clean. Maid came everyday to clean and take out trashes. Susan was so helpful and willing to work with any questions we had, no matter the hour. Pool was clean and so nice, right by the beach. Easily accessible and felt very safe.

Three couples, all family, stayed at Casa Bamboo.  We loved it!  Great location.  The house was very nice and comfortable.

We stayed there 4 nights and it was very nice. Each floor has full kitchen and plenty of room for large gatherings. House is very private and it feels like you are in the middle of a forest. Nice pool and spa, although it would be nice to have the spa heated! There are no gas lines to this location so It will be kind of hard to heat the spa with propane tanks! Daily maid service was awesome. Be prepared for lots of mesquite bites as they are everywhere in Costa Rica!

Our group of 7 (4 adults and 3 kids aged 17, 13 and 10) had a great time at Casa Bamboo. The layout of the house is very efficient, allowing two families enjoy their own space yet spend time together. Laura came every day to clean, do the laundry etc. Which allowed us to enjoy Manuel Antonio, without worrying about tidying up. We’ve spent some time in advance with our wonderful concierge Susan to arrange all the tours we wanted to go, and she was very quick to correspond and also was great with suggestions, recommendations and accommodated the changes along the way. It was a huge help, as it was our first time in CR. Highly recommend the chef service and the massage at home. Was wonderful to have them in after the tours, while all the wild life around you created the perfect scenery. Casa Bamboo, is very conveniently located, literally in the rainforest - extension of the Manuel Antonio National Park. Super clean, walking distance to grocery stores/restaurants etc. yet in a very private setting if that’s what you need, so you get the best of both worlds! Highly recommend Casa Bamboo, to enjoy Manuel Antonio!!!

We had a lovely stay in Casa Bamboo, there was plenty of space for us all and it was clean and well equipped. The children loved the pool and we got to see so much wildlife near the house including sloths, monkeys, an anteater, a woodpecker, toucans, fireflies, iguanas and butterflies.

Casa Bamboo is a true haven of peace. We were 4 couples with 4 babies and had a wonderful stay. Everything you need and more can be found at the villa. Susan responded to us within 5 minutes, she is very helpful and accommodating. And what about the chefs Renzo & Roberto, the food was amazing, much better than the restaurant. The service was amazing and they were very nice, we greatly enjoyed their company. Laura the housekeeper was really discreet, she even did the laundry which was very helpful with babies! For transportation, we used Susan's organized transportation which was great, we were able to stop along the way for food and groceries. For the rest of the week, we used cabs and it was great. Everything is very close to the villa. A memorable stay that we will always remember. #PuraVida!

Scott and Susan were both pleasant people to deal with during our stay. Such an amazing house and location! Thank you again!!

Casa Bamboo is absolutely beautiful - a true tropical paradise! The pool and the jungle around it was spectacular- monkeys came right over to the pool, giant butterflies flew around every morning, huge parrots flew through the trees. To sit and watch the jungle with a cup of coffee in the morning was magical. The house is great - plenty of bathrooms and comfy beds, two kitchens and living areas gave our large group plenty of places to spread out. The porch upstairs was just beautiful. Susan was amazing helping us get settled in and activities organized, and they were all great (our favorites were the chocolate tour, the catamaran sunset boat tour, jet skies, “tour like a tico”, and the Manuel Antonio Park tour). Laura came everyday to clean, which was so helpful.  We also had Renzo come and cook for us one of the nights and it was delicious, best ceviche ever! The house is close to town and very easy to either walk (if you don’t mind hills) or get a taxi anywhere. We had a group of 6, with friends and family ages from 10 to 75, and with a house like Casa Bamboo it made it easy for everyone to have a great time. Thank you!!

Casa Bamboo is a large and beautiful house that worked well for 8 family members. Susan our concierge was very helpful in arranging the tours we picked to do and with any other needs we needed help with. The scenery and wildlife were there for our enjoyment every day! Cleaning service was excellent! Do not pack more than you need; laundry service is included!

My family had a great time. we saw the monkeys daily. enjoyed the pool at the end of the day. Sharron our concierge was very helpful.  Laura the house keeper was awesome and kept the house very clean. we are already planning our next trip.

Look no further, this place is amazing. Susan was incredibly helpful and kind. Chef Renzo & Roberto were truly one of a kind. They tended to our every need or want. We could not have asked for 2 better chefs. They were kind, courteous, accommodating and the food was out of this world. Our housekeeper Laura was exceptional. She washed our clothes every single day. The house was immaculate. The house is located in a prime area. We seen monkeys every day. We did see a couple sloths within blocks of the property. We witnessed parrots flying overhead numerous times. Do yourself a favor and look no further, book this oasis, you will not be disappointed!

Expect gorgeous views and wildlife and wonderful service

Clean and cozy. Feels safe and secluded. Easy walk into town

What a lovely time we had.  We enjoyed watching sloths, various species of monkeys and beautiful mot mot birds from our deck while having coffee.  The house was great, it had everything we needed and all in decent condition.  What made the house superlative were the people around it.  Susan is responsive and responsible.  She gave great advice and suggestions.  Most of our communication was by texting, which was perfect.  There were ten people in our party, and the house was cleaned and laundry done daily by Laura.  We also opted to hire the chef (Robert - part of the Lorenzo team), and he was great.  We had him for three dinners during our week stay - we should of had him for a few more.  Really good food, and so relaxing to come home from the beach or a hike without having to think about meal prep for ten.  We were a crowd used to walking and exercise and we did walk a lot.  The hike to the beach is a hike, but we took roads that offered views, as well as frequent sightings of monkeys, sloths and toucans.  We also figured out the very easy bus system and used that to get to the town, the beach and Manuel Antonio park.  We did not rent a car - all of our tours to places like the waterfall were by bus, and we were picked up at the house.  I would take their advice and not rent a car.  Overall a spectacular vacation and a super location - the house, the beach and the national park - all close by.  Thank you.

Casa Bamboo was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfect. No complaints whatsoever. Laura was the best and kept it so clean for us. Susan was the best hostess. She responded to all my emails immediately.  Chef Renzo and Roberto made the best drinks and food for us. We will be back one day for sure. Oh and our little monkeys made it extra special as well. Thanks so much for your hospitality.
