3BR villa in Manuel Antonio

New Modern Villa in Manuel Antonio Central - Houses for Rent in Manuel Antonio, Quepos Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Very nice home! Great location with parking. Communicative and helpful host!

Great spot for 2 families to share! Lots of sitting option inside n out so all can spread out or come together in different locations

Amazing house!! Super cool vibe and great host. Jack was there to greet us and had great knowledge of area and activites!!! Cool dude and great house!!!!

Jack was a fantastic, kind host. He was ready to greet us as soon as we arrived and provided recommendations on places to go/things to see. When we asked where we could find coconuts, we came home one day to find our fridge full with coconuts. Can’t recommend him enough!

Our host Jose was terrific. Great communication and recommendations!

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at this house, locally known as “La Miraje” (The Mirage). The house looks and feels exactly like the photos - and it’s even better to be in the place. The art, colors, fixtures, and architecture are all peak. We enjoyed sitting out on the massive deck every morning, listening to the surrounding wildlife and people. Monkeys and macaws appeared in the trees every day as if they were squirrels and robins back home. It never got old! The concierge, Jose, was extremely responsive and helpful, and tended to the home every day while we were out exploring. He always had a quick helpful answers to questions about the property and surroundings, and helped us book excursions with excellent providers. We are so glad we chose this home as our base during such a memorable vacation, and would absolutely stay there again.

Beutiful home near everything in manuel antonio. Monkey and toucan visit the roof often. Pool was great after a long day at the beach. The host was great. Beds are a bit firm like others have said, but they were ok for the 4 nights we were there. Recommend playa playita beach with a 4x4. Can drive right down and park on the beach under the trees.

Had the BEST time at Jack’s beautiful home. Jose was super friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcomed right away.  We enjoyed our mornings on the beautiful deck while watching the lovely scarlet macaws. Loved that we also had the ability to walk to many amazing local restaurants. Would love to return one day!

Jack’s home was a wonderful place for my family and I to rest our heads after our busy days of excursions and sightseeing. The house was spacious and very inviting. Jack helped us pick out excursions and help us set them up. He also recommended restaurants in the area that we definitely enjoyed and was a wonderful host.  Our family appreciated his hospitality and enjoyed his home. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your Costa Rica lifestyle with us. We hope to be back soon!  Pura Vida!

This is a lovely house right in the centre of the town of Manuel Antonio, within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, yoga, and other services (but quite a walk from the beach - 30 to 40 min). We, a family of 5, really enjoyed our stay in the house which is very spacious and has a very nice kitchen / bar and outdoor kitchen. The host was very friendly and happy to provide info on activities and arrange bookings and also a private shuttle which took us to the house from Alajuela, and also from the house to Monteverde at a good price. The only negative about our stay was how exceptionally firm the beds were, in particular in the master bedroom, and there was no quick fix to that (on our third day we did get some blankets etc. to make it softer). Also, the system/setup regarding daily maid services could have been clarified better, but on day 3 someone came to take care of garbage, and then there was a full cleaning on day 4 (we stayed in the house for 5 nights).

This is a beautiful house with lots of amenities. It is very centrally located and easy to get to. HOWEVER, because it is so centrally located there is ambient noise ALL THE TIME.  Engines, car horns, music, yelling, fireworks…. It never stopped, not even at 2 am.  If you live in the city and are used to the noise, maybe it wouldn’t bother you. But we didn’t sleep well the entire 10 days we were there. Also, we had two pairs of expensive shoes stolen from INSIDE THE PROPERTY. The shoes were behind a locked gate and a perimeter wall so the only people who could’ve taken them were the house owner or his cleaning guy. The house owner confirmed on camera that the shoes were, at one time, in the house but refused to accept any responsibility for them going missing. He tried to tell me it was a ghost. Finally, the home owner was VERY slow to respond and not forthcoming with info without numerous texts and messages repeatedly asking for information.

Neither Brian or I would ever take anything from anybody, never the less womans sneakers. You had to misplace them. As for the noise and fireworks in the neighborhood, it was Christmas and New Years and thats what they do here and around the world.

This place was amazing for our group. The place looks even better in person than in the photos. People mention the beds being firm which they were and everyone in our group slept great on them. We were missing a few cleaning products which took a day or so to sort out. This house is located in a neighborhood within Manuel Antonio and we loved feeling like a part of the community. Great places to eat and a grocery store right around the corner from the house. I would stay here again for sure.

Beautiful house! Jose and Brian were great hosts.

Beautiful home with a great location.  Everything is walkable.  Jack was a great host!!

Jack was super helpful and took us for a drive around town. He showed us restaurants and took us to one the first night. He went to town and got a soft mattress topper for one of our folks. He went over and beyond!! Highly recommend staying at Jack's place.

Jacks place exceeded our expectations. It was a great place for our large family to hang out. It has lots of different gathering spots inside and out. It is modern and cool and the dipping pool was perfect to cool off in. The location is perfect. It is an easy walk to everything in Manuel Antonio yet it is on a quiet street across from the football field. We really enjoyed meeting jack. His enthusiasm and positivity are truly inspiring. Brian, the house manager was attentive and helpful. We had a fantastic stay!

Jack did a great job of communicating. He also set us up with Josè who arranged our transportation and tours which was very helpful.

Jack’s place looks EXACTLY like the listing. There is no trickery here. It’s crazy convenient to the bus and restaurants (Soda Angel is actually listed in a couple of guides to Costa Rica). Buy your alcohol duty free before you leave the airport as it is expensive in town. The Joseth market, also within walking distance has the best array of seasoning and alcohol. I liked that we rented a car—we drove the hour to Dominical and the Nauyaca Waterfalls without being on someone else’s timeline. His location has a somewhat local feel—if you want a resort kind of beach town vibe, it is just a five minute drive closer to the park. That is the great part about being in Manuel Antonio vice Quepos and I’m happy we stayed there.

Awesome house!!! Great location in walking distance from many restaurants, grocery stores, and a few bars! Great neighborhood   and main balcony looking out over a soccer field!

Jack’s  home is incredibly curated and aesthetically  beautiful both inside and out. Tucked right off the main road  that takes you into Playa Biesanz as well as two other local beaches,  you are far enough away so that you feel at home in the rainforest- but can also walk to many local restaurants and shops. My husband and kids enjoyed our daily visits from the macaws as we swam in the deck pool. Jack is a lovely host that will help you with whatever you need- from arranging airport transportation to excursions or just a restaurant suggestion! We highly recommend staying in Jack’s home. We are all ready planning to go back!

Jack was such a great host! He met us a check in to make sure we knew all the details of the house and had everything we needed. The house is amazing with all the amenities you could ask for and is very walkable to great shops and restaurants. The house manager Jose took care of booking our shuttles and excursions. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Jack's place is beautiful.  Very classy in look and design.  Lots of artistic touches.  Plenty of space for two families.  The pool is a welcome relief from the Manuel Antonio heat.  Good location and walking distance to grocery and restaurants.  We had a great time here.  Host's are great to work with.

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely be back! Here is a pros and cons list: Pros: The house is beautiful! The AC worked well. The concierge service! I had never had this before. They cleaned up after us every single day! Did dishes, cleaned floors, washed towels/sheets, etc. I can't stress enough how awesome this was! The pool was wonderful! Great location! It is close to lots of stores and restaurants which we could walk to. Lots of ice in the freezer. Every room has a bathroom! The house is big - we all had ample space, which is important since there were 7 of us. Cons: The Wi-Fi was very bad in the downstairs bedroom, to the point where I could not use it, and so I maxed out the data plan on my phone. He needs to buy a wifi extender. The pool deck is very slippery. We almost slipped a couple times getting out of the pool. It needs a rubber mat. The beds are very, very firm. Most of us found the beds rather uncomfortable. They need mattress toppers. The pillows were huge and hard. Again, most of us found them uncomfortable. The furniture was uncomfortable. Felt worn out. The showers were not great. Low pressure and the temperature would not stay the same. You'd finally get it perfect, and a few seconds later, it would randomly change on you. Despite the list of cons you just read, we really did enjoy our stay here, and we left satisfied. I would recommend this place!

La Miraje Villa was a fabulous experience.  The house is conveniently located in the center of Manual Antonio close to supermarkets, restaurants and liquor stores. There is a bus stop just steps away and the bus will pick you up every 20 minutes for 320 colones and wisk you away to the beach and national park. Or going the other way to the town of Quepos.  Our host Jack was on site for our arrival and departure along with his helpful assistant Brian who cleaned and looked after all our requests while still not being intrusive on our privacy.   The house itself is a work of modern art and is  decorated throughout in keeping with the modern theme.  The downstairs has laundry facilities and parking. However we found having a car was totally unnecessary in Manual Antonio. The main floor had a large dining room, a large modern fully equipped kitchen which contained a breakfast nook. There where two separate sitting areas and a powder room.  The main floor bedroom was quite spacious complete with ensuite and a private exit to the pool area. The second floor had two more spaceous bedrooms with ensuites, another sitting area with TV and a sterio nook . All living and sleeping areas were equipped with air con units and ceiling fans. We never used the TV because living in this huge wonderful house occupied all our time.  The  residential quarters main floor was surrounded outdoors on three sides by a tiled patio which consisted of the swimming pool with lighted waterfall, lounge chairs, and a showering area, a the bbq area with outdoor dining area, another sitting area and flowerbeds complete with nesting hummingbirds and visiting toucans which sometimes noisy were very colorful and a joy to see.  The week we spent here was extremely enjoyable and we highly recommend it to other leisure travelers.

Beautiful home, very convenient location and a wonderful host. Plenty of room and privacy for all your family and/or guest.

Excellent location, close to supermarkets and restaurants. House is very modern and spacious.

Artistically decorated, several “ambientes” for socializing, well appointed kitchen and home in general with all the conveniences of home!  We will plan a return visit soonest!

All details in the house were perfect, everything we needed. Amazing modern decoration with all details taken care of. Service and communication was also a plus. Fully recommended, for family or friends.

Large, comfortable house, decor and eclectic style. In the very center of Manuel Antonio. 10 minutes from the park, five minutes from Biesanz beach. Close to supermarkets.

Casa grande, cómoda, decoración y estilo ecléctico. En el puro centro de Manuel Antonio. A 10 minutos del parque, cinco minutos de playa Biesanz. Cerca de supermercados.

We spent 2 weeks in Manuel Antonio at Villa La Mirage. This place was fabulous! A lot of space and very clean. It has a small pool that we enjoyed too a lot. It has washer and drier and everything else you may need. Good air-conditioning system. The place gets cleaned every day. The location was perfect! Walking distance to 3 grocery stores, 5 min drive to best beaches and national park. A lot of restaurants and cafes close by. Jack is an amazing host. He is always there to help you with any questions or issues you may have. I came with 2 small children and he helped to make the villa child proofed by covering the stairs and entrances with a net and removing all the unsafe items. He was also very helpful to show me around the town, beaches and helping to find banks, car rental, fruit market, doctors, etc. Thank you so much Jack for your hospitality and help! I hope to come back to Costa Rica soon and I would definitely book it with Jack again!

We stayed with 4 people for 3 nights at this stunning carefully decorated villa. There are plenty of kitchen amenities and perfect bedding. We enjoyed the different living spaces both outside and inside. Ideal location to discover Manuel Antonio Park and get to the beautiful beach in the early morning (5-minute drive) This villa is perfect for adults and less suitable for families with small children and people with limited mobility

Nous avons séjourné à 4 personnes pendant 3 nuits dans cette superbe villa décorée avec soin. Les équipements de cuisine sont nombreux et la literie parfaite. Nous avons apprécié les différents espaces de vie tant à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur. Emplacement idéal pour découvrir le Parc Manuel Antonio et se rendre sur la superbe plage au petit matin (5 minutes de voiture) Cette villa est parfaite pour des adultes et moins adaptée pour les familles avec de petits enfants et des personnes à mobilité réduite

Great house and great location. Walking distance to many restaurants and super markets. The small pool was a nice touch to cool down before entering the house since it’s so hot and humid in Manuel Antonio. Jose is an amazing host, who is very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. He gives such great tips and advice for the area. It was awesome that he checked in with us periodically to make sure everything is okay. Definitely would stay again!

Everything is exactly as described. You can walk to multiple restaurants, stores and the bank. If you don't want to walk very far, the bus stop is super close to the house and will take you to additional restaurants, bars, the park and the beach. Jose is awesome! He is a wealth of information on anything local and can make any reservations you may need. Save yourself the time and hassle of trying to do it yourself and just ask Jose to book whatever you need - he'll make sure you are taken care of.

Jack, we absolutely adored Jose! The house was as stunning as it was in pictures! Jose even helped with our laundry! We loved being just a few steps away from grocery stores as we cooked breakfast every morning to be out for excursions. Jose also helped us book things to do! He was at our door as we were leaving in the mornings just to be sure everything was timely and smooth! Pretty much, we would have loved to bring Jose home!!

Look no further if you want to be in in the center of everything to do in Manuel Antonio. The best food and and beaches are walking distance from this location.  This house is immaculate and the host and concierge will go above and beyond to fulfill any needs at any time. They took care of scheduling fun activities and know the best local guide for the national park that will give you the best tour available. Can’t wait to do it again! Pure Vida!

A spacious beautiful villa right in the heart of Manuel Antonio. A quick walk to many excellent restaurants and take always with main grocery store around the corner. Lots of room for all of us. Beautiful kitchen.  We enjoyed sitting outside in the early morning to watch the toucans and Macaws and for a cool dip in the splash pool. We were greeted by Jack when we arrived. A little hard to find in the dark but used landmarks of the football field, Sancho's restaurant and around corner from Joseth supermarket. The house is sparkling clean, well appointed and perfect for our 3 families. Jack recommended restaurants close by that were all excellent and could not have been a better “Super Host”. We had rented cars (as we had 2 infants in our family) and parked safely on this quiet residential street so drove to the beaches and park but you can take the local bus that stops 50 m down street. Other than that, we did not need a car in town. A perfect location for a wonderful villa. I cannot recommend La Miraje highly enough!

We had an excellent time here! The house was beautiful and kept in great condition. It was also very clean, and receiving fresh towels each day was an added bonus. The host was amazing and very helpful/knowledgeable. This location was a fantastic part our Costa Rica vacation and we would recommend it to anyone!! Must stay!

Had a amazing experience! Have zero complaints and will def be recommending this location!

We had a wonderful stay at La Miraje Villa! Thank you Jose for helping us plan activities and making sure everything was great at the house.  We enjoyed meeting you! The house was clean and beautiful with everything we needed. We loved the outdoor area and pool. The house is in a great location. A short drive to the state park and beaches. Within walking distance to shops, grocery store, and restaurants. We would definitely recommend a stay here and hope to be back to visit one day! Thank you Jack!

Great location in central Manuel Antonio. Very cool space. Good value. Easy communication.

Our stay at La Miraj was wonderful from the beautiful house, to its location to the hospitality. Everything was available in the house for comfort. The kitchen was well appointed, the bedrooms large and comfortable and the outside deck was perfect for coffee mornings and happy hour evenings. We so enjoyed the view of the soccer field, the parrots and toucans and the convenience of the bus stop and grocery markets two minutes away. No need for a car even for any of the many restaurants just down the Main Street. We hardly cooked with so many to choose from! Access to the beach by bus was easy and inexpensive and we saw a baby sloth in a tree by the beach bus stop! Jose and Brian were on call 24/7 and helped us in so many ways. I needed to see a doctor with a minor problem and Jose arranged everything and drove me to the appointment. They took care of all of our needs! We look forward to returning next year. Thanks all💕

Had a great time at this place. House was clean and well stocked. The outdoor area was bigger than we expected. Six of us stayed here comfortably. The location is convenient to stores and restaurants, and the bus stop is just down the street, making it easy to get places. Jose was also great. He helped organize some excursions for us and checked in frequently to see if we needed anything, or wanted anything planned.

We loved our stay at Jack’s place! His house was gorgeous and full of unique art. We also enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the evenings. The location was very convenient. It was a quick trip to both Manuel Antonio Park and downtown Quepos. There were several restaurants in walking distance as well (definitely try the taco place across the street).

A smooth, clean, cool villa to stay near Manuel Antonio. Walkable to multiple restaurants & bars with amazing views. A short drive away from the Manuel Antonio Natl Park. Host and staff are very friendly and prompt to respond. Villa is slightly hard to find (not on Google Maps). Had a great time!

This is a bright light large modern house in Manuel Antonio - it was as we expected, and all mod cons were on hand. José was super helpful and a really nice guy! :-) We felt safe here. There are a couple of mini supermarkets at the end of the street and Sancho's Mexican if you can't face staggering any further (good fish tacos) ! :-) I quite liked being away from the general hubbub of MA (it was peak season first week of Jan so very busy) but we were still surprised at the amount of noise from the road just up from the villa where cars and motorbikes screeched late into the night. Towels are changed daily and Jose had left some snacks and water etc. for us which was appreciated. Good aircon. Pool is very small but enough for cooling dip. Recommended if you don't need a view of the sea! :-)

OMG! I was really worried coming to this place as I have had some bad experiences and its tough to guage the safety and hospitality I will receive. There was 8 of us including 4 kids. We were greeted by Ryan and Jose who basically assisted us with all our needs and took care of any issues immediately. The service was exceptional. If you have kids, I would suggest for them to stay downstairs as the upstairs may be unsafe for kids if they are too short. I would highly suggest to get a driver if you have a rental car. The driver we had (Steven) took us everywhere and was always on standby. The roads in Manuel Antonio can be unsafe if your drinking and with kids. The other reason is Steven knew everyone and got better pricing, seats, reservations then we could ever get. He may get a kickback, but we knew for a fact that we got better pricing with him. Steven cost us $50 bucks a day and was requested not suggested. I highly suggest it!! The house is centrally located, but not exactly on the beach. Going to the beach will be a walk. There is no view of the beach. This place is Beautiful and is across from a soccer field off the main road, that is very safe. The place is better then the pictures. The beds were comfortable and the AC is always on and nice temperatures. Unfortunately, we didnt see any monkeys on the deck, which was expected. But Manuel Antonio is not packed with monkeys as I pictured it. I think 5-7 days is perfect here. Honestly, I can live here and even asked if I can buy this house. This place is unlike any other, as its much more modern then all the other places. Don't be afraid to ask for anything!! Service and house is amazing!!

Very nice house in Manuel Antonio. Well located, very spacious and comfortable. Jose the person in charge is super friendly and predisposed. There would just need to improve the cleanliness of the place and the water pressure of the showers which was scarce and it was very difficult to bathe.

Muy linda casa en Manuel Antonio. Bien ubicada, muy amplia y cómoda. Jose el encargado súper amable y predispuesto. Solo faltaría mejorar la limpieza del lugar y la presión del agua de las duchas que era escasa y se hacía muy difícil bañarse.

We had a wonderful experience at Jack's home! We were very happy with the more urban location that made walking to restaurants and bars quick and easy. Though the house is near the main road we were still fortunate to spot Toucans and Macaws once from the patio and appreciated the fact that the home was quiet in the evenings. Also, our concierge, Jose, was a big help when one of the tours we booked cancelled. He was able to make arrangements so that we could still do the tour and enjoy our last day in Manuel Antonio. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely stay here again!

The House is perfect for sharing with family and friends. The attention and communication from the manager and owner Jack is very fluid. Always attentive and willing to help with what we need. The amenities and layout of the house is perfect, which we really liked is the audio and the lighting it offers. And the location is another aspect that gives potential to the house, from places to eat to the supermarket that is just a few steps away. Muchas gracias. Thank you very much. My friends and I loved your place. Our stayed was awesome. Jose is a helpful guy. Hope to come back again.

La Casa es perfecta para compartir en familia y amigos. La atención y comunicación por parte del encargado y el dueño Jack es muy fluida. Siempre atentos y dispuestos a colaborar en lo que necesitaramos. Los servicios y distribución de la casa es perfecta, algo que nos gustó mucho es el audio y la iluminación que ofrece, exc. Y la ubicación es otro de los aspectos que le da potencial a la casa, desde lugares para comer hasta el supermercado que se encuentra a unos cuantos pasos. Muchas gracias. Thank you very much. My friends and I loved your place. Our stayed was awesome. Jose is a helpful guy. Hope to come back again.

Without a doubt, Jack's house is great for spending a few days in Miguel Antonio, Brayan and José. They are attentive to everything you need. If you decide to come, do not hesitate to stay in this place, close to public transport, supermarket and restaurants. The beach is less than 10 minutes away by bus. That is, if the attractions on the beach are very expensive for tourists, if you go to the national park do not pay a guide. It is not really worth it and it is very expensive. In San Jose it is preferable to get around by Uber, cheaper and safer.

Sin duda alguna la casa de Jack es formidable para pasar unos días en Miguel Antonio, Brayan y José están al pendiente de todo lo que necesites, si decides venir no dudes en hospedarte en este lugar, cerca de transporte público, supermercado y restaurantes, la playa está a menos de 10 min en bus, eso si las atracciones en la playa son muy caras para el turista, si vas al parque nacional no pagues guía, la verdad no vale la pena y es muy caro. En San José es preferible que te muevas en Uber, más barato y seguro.

This was our second stay at Jack's Villa, and it was even better than our first. Jack was extremely helpful leading up to the trip securing airport transport and offering to help set up activities in the area for us. Upon arrival Jose provided excellent concierge service setting up taxis for our fishing charter, recommending local spots to visit, and keeping the place clean. The house itself is very beautiful and has all the amenities you could ask for. The location in Manuel Antonio is within walking distance to many of the restaurants/bars in the area and is on the same block as a Supermarket, taxi station, and bus stop. If you are looking for a beautiful house with excellent service in Manuel Antonio then this is the place for you!

Great Villa.  It's located very close to several wonderful restaurants and super markets.  Manuel Antonio is a nice quiet town.  Walking to the beach was possible too!  Jack arranged for Jose to help us whenever we wanted anything and he was very attentive whenever we had a question or a need.  The villa was very clean and stylish. Wonderful trip!

This place is pretty awesome! We loved the set up. The house is in walking distance to a market and transportation. It was very easy to get to Manuel Antonio and Quepos. Jose the concierge was amazing. He was attentive to anything we needed. Jack and Jose helped us book a few activities, had good recommendations for places to go and Jose even was available midnight to help us with the oven. Would definitely recommend this place and do plan on coming back! Thanks guys!!

Fantastic spot in a great location. Very lively area with handy access to restaurants and markets. Absolutely no need for a car and the pool was great for cooling off after returning from the beach.

Our stay was just perfect!!! We spent a pleasant time in a beautiful house equipped with everything you need to relax. José was extremely kind and super attentive, in addition to showing us places to visit, what to do and where to eat. i highly recommend this place I will definitely come back!

Nuestra estadía fue simplemente Perfecta!!! pasamos un tiempo agradable en una hermosa casa equipada con todo lo necesario para relajarse. José fue extremadamente amable y súper atento, además que nos indicó lugares para conocer, que hacer y donde comer. recomiendo este lugar amplamente seguro regresaré!

This is a once in a lifetime experience that should be repeated frequently! Jack's place was simply awesome.  The house is just perfect, location - so close to everything, inside amenities, fully stocked kitchen, pool, outside deck all amazing. Jose the Concierge took care of everything and was always ready to assist. If you want a true Costa Rican experience combined with luxury, this is the place to stay.

This house is very spacious, clean, and well appointed. Many restaurants are within walking distance, so we didn't end up cooking much. Easy access to local bus with quick ride to beautiful beach and Manuel Antonio. 

Great house. Quick walk to a great taco restaurant and two grocery stores. 

Manuel Antonio is my favorite place in all of Costa Rica. The location of the house was perfect.  I've stayed in numerous house in the area in the past and this location was one of the better I've stayed in.  Easy walk to the grocery store, restaurants, and bars.  And quick access to the road that takes you to the beaches.  Jack and Jose (the concierge) were very accommodating.  The house was prefect for a weekend with my friends (celebrating a Bachelor party). I arrived much later than the rest of group but Jose had no problem welcoming my friends and making them feel at home.  I'm looking forward to visiting Costa Rica and the Manuel Antonio again in May and will definitely consider staying here again.  The house is perfectly located and has great views. Thanks for you hospitality.  Regards.... Esteban, Ronny, Joe, Andrew, and Bryan.

We had a wonderful stay at Jack's place. The villa is beautiful and we often spent our evenings hanging out on the roof deck by the pool. We did not get to meet Jack but Jose was a great host. I will definitely consider coming back. 

Great space and close to everything. Jose went above and beyond our expectations, helped us with anything we needed, and was always available. The place was stocked with fresh towels everyday and the the beds were made every other day. The only downfall was that the AC was not functional throughout the entire house (just in the bedrooms) so the common areas were very hot. Would definitely return for another stay! 

The house was in a perfect location. Everything was extremely well organized and communicated before and during our trip. Our location was perfect as we could easily walk to restaurants and the grocery store. We didn't rent a car and we didn't need one! Taxis are easy to grab around the area! This house was perfectly described as it was clean and modern. We're very excited to return!

The house is super clean, well located, with all the amenities!

La casa súper limpia, bien ubicada, con todas las comodidades!

We had an amazing stay at Villa Manuel Antonio. We found it to be very clean and well-equipped. It was very well located between the beach and Quepos  and was near a variety of stores, restaurants and miscellaneous activities. Jose was an invaluable resource and a wealth of information. Our teenaged kids had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this house for any group or family. 

The house is beautiful, with a excellent location (near to everything). Jack is a kindly host, very concerned for the guests.  The rooms are confortable (each one with AC), the kitchen is perfect and has a great place for BBQ. Also has 2 terraces to lay down. It has lot of space to relax and to hear the home music system.  The pool is perfect for children and to refresh up (it isn´t to big).  My family enjoyed the accommodation, I fully recommend the house.

Jack was a fantastic host.  The house was beautiful, very clean, plenty of space, and the beds were comfortable.  Definitely a great choice for staying in Manuel Antonio.

Beatiful house and one the of the best host I ever met, highly recommended by far !!!

This is a very spacious, elegant and trendy villa ! It was perfect for our family of 6 and we had plenty of room. The kitchen is well stocked and the outdoor furniture is lovely; we even made dinner and stayed in one night. Very convenient location, right next to small grocery store for everyday needs and restaurants to explore. Would highly recommend for a future stay! 

What an incredible trip! We loved the villa. Open, spacious, modern, and right in the heart of Manuel Antonio. Jack provided the best concierge ever - Jose! He took care of every detail, lining up an incredible jet ski trip, zip line tour, transportation, and an amazing chef night at the villa. Perfecto!

Listing was almost as described on the website, except a very important misrepresentation about wild life. Monkeys or birds were no where to be seen or even heard. The wild life as described may have been present 15 years ago but not now.   Villa was very very nice, no question about that. Kitchen was very nice, they had snacks at our arrival, On site manager Jose is a very nice guy to help you out with anything and he will get problems with the toilets or hot water fixed once he knows about it.  I do want to inform future guests to make sure about few things before they visit: MOST ANNOYING PART OF THIS VILLA: We got locked in several times on night of 22nd December because door will not open from inside. Jose had to really struggle to fix the door during day and at night we had same problem.  We got locked inside the house at like 1030 pm, could not open the door to get something from the car. We had told Jose to open door at 7 am so that we can leave and dont get stuck inside house.  This is FIRE SAFETY HAZARD ALSO: YOU cannot leave the villa without the electronic key. In case there is a fire and you cannot find keys, you will be locked inside the house.   Other things to note are: 1) How to contact onsite manager if hot water runs out while taking shower. We came from beach, I wanted to take shower but there was no hot water. 2) Why do the have flashing or flickering lights in bathrooms and even in the bedrooms. When lights are constantly flickering, it is hard to shave or use the bathroom mirrors. 3) The stairs are quite stiff and they will scratch back of your legs when going down if you are not careful. 4) Washer and dryer is there, but they are too scary to be used, it did not look like to me that you can use the dryer.  5) Bedrooms need some kind of drapes, our bedroom had no drapes or sheers at all. We did not mind it, make room very lighted and lively, but at night lot of lights comes from street and you wake up at like 515 or so due to lot of light.   I really request Jack to fix the issues:  a) Door needs to be fixed, and it has to operate that someone can open the door in case of fire.  b) fix the issue with the lights in the bathrooms, and also how to turn ON and turn OFF the lights in main area. Also do something with the stairs so that they don't scratch back of legs while going down stairs.

House was very clean and central . Jose was an amazing host had a basket of local snacks when we arrived also book all of our tours and would respond quickly . The bus stop was right at corner of house made it very easy to get to beach and restraints in minutes and is only 60 cents . 

This place was rad - located right between the beaches and the town. I stadon't we with a group of 7 and we all had plenty of space. The house is gorgeous and a lot of fun. The host was really helpful and accommodating. 

All in all the experience was fairly mixed. The area is great and the house looks beautiful but there were a few things that made the experience a little less than perfect. I had a total of 9 guests, even though the house states that it holds 10, my guests and I found it uncomfortable to host that many people since the common areas did not have working air conditioning. This was an fairly significant issue as we didn't really get an opportunity to enjoy the house because it was very hot in the common areas. The rooms however were fine.  The lights also had some issues, they were either very sensitive, on a motion detector or sometimes just didn't work as expected.  During our time at the location the house was never frequented by the maid which the posts states, we did get fresh towels on the second day but that was the only time we got towels.

Fantastic Villa in a very central location in Manuel Antonio. Beautiful rooms, great outdoor BBQ area. Jack and Jose were really helpful with everything. Highly recommended!

This house was incredible and met all of our expectations. It is conveniently located with a bus stop/market less than a block away. Everything was walking distance with beautiful sites to see. Amazing restaurants close by. Jose was the host and he was very helpful. He had beer/fruit/snacks ready for us when we arrived which was wonderful. The pump on the pool broke and he had it drained, fixed and cleaned in a timely manner. He also had great recommendations on activities to do while we were there. Very nice gentleman and welcoming. This house was worth every penny and I would recommend it to every traveler. Thank you Jack and Jose for making this trip possible. 

We had a wonderful time at la miraje! 10 of us were accomodated perfectly, and we couldn't have had a more amazing stay! Jose was amazing and I would recommend that anyone traveling to Quepos/Manuel Antonio stay at la miraje for a wonderful visit!

We ( Family of 5, kids 11/14/16 ) booked LaMiraje "last minute", and Jack went out of his way to deal with all our questions and requests. We ended up taking him up on his offer to set up all our local activities for us and he even stocked the fridge for us and had a bottle of wine ready for us when we arrived with a 5 hour delay.... he actually was waiting at the main road to make sure we would find the place. Jack kept telling me: Relax, you're in Costa Rica, we are here to make you feel welcome in this magical place. The house is great, very clean, very spacious and open. There are NO BUGS in Manuel Antonio, we had the whole house wide open for a week, no problem, no screens... Jose the "concierge" is available to offer help and advice, if you have a question about the neighborhood he seems to know everybody and their aunt and uncle.... LaMiraje is located "downtown" Manuel Antonio, a short hop from 2 supermarkets and right next door to the soccer field. You are definitely not in a secluded jungle villa here but right in the middle of the goings on in town. The area feels very safe, everybody is super friendly. We had Cappucin Monkeys stop in and Tucans squabble with blackbirds in the big tree across the street.... We hired Manuele to cook for us one night which was exceptional, not cheap but well worth the expense. Even though a car is not required because you have the bus stop and taxis close by, we liked the convenience to be able to hop in and go where we had to go. Rental car can be safely parked right in front of the house. You will need transportation to get to the main beach. Super place , great hosts, worth the money and a great base to explore the area. You will meet everything from young backpackers staying in hostels to the 180ft Super Yacht in Quepos. Pura Vida for sure.

This house was gorgeous and fit 8 people, with most people doubling up in a bed. It was a perfectly located (two supermarkets within walking distance, an ATM, restaurants and a bus stop to go to the beach or park). Jose and Jack were amazing hosts- they gave us restaurant advice, helped arrange tours, and were very attentive to our needs. I completely recommend this house to anyone interested in  traveling to Miguel Antonio!

Great villa and great host! This is a luxerous and beautiful house with a sound system that is connected to speakers all over the place. The entire house and the BBQ area are HIGH CLASS and the amazing grill was so clean, it looked like it has never been used before. The hosts are brilliant. They make sure you have everything you need and even provided a rich fruit and snack basket even though we were only staying for two nights. We invited them for a BBQ and had a super interesting fun night. Of course they also give you all the privacy and trust you could imagine which is a great feeling. Thank you very much for letting us stay in your amazing spacious house. :) All the best for all your projects.

Great house. Amazing location with the nicest house on the block. Jack was out of the country but Jose was a great host that took care of all our needs. Rooms AC worked great. Safe front gate access. Highly recommended for both Quepos and MA as its right in between them. 

Wow. I can't say enough about this house, it was amazing! After a few days of remote beaches, it was such a nice contrast to stay in such a luxurious house. Everything was beautifully appointed, modern and thoughtfully planned!   We particularly loved the huge open indoor/outdoor spaces for lounging and grilling with friends after a long strenuous day sunbathing on the beach. And having drinks in the pool at sunset was unforgettable. And waking up to a monkeys on the wraparound balcony was a special treat!   Jack was incredibly helpful, also giving us great recommendations on beaches, restaurants/bars, etc -- even sorting out a last minute zipline tour for us! We really appreciated it, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip!   I highly recommend booking this place!

Let me start by saying we booked this place at the last minute (about 5 days prior to our trip). We needed a place for six people and we all really liked this listing. Jack approved the request quickly and made himself available to answer any questions we had about the villa, the location, and Costa Rica in general. He arranged a driver to pick us up and drive us to and from Manuel Antonio and gave us a very warm welcome.  Once we arrived, we were greeted by Jose, who tends to the house and lives in an apartment nearby. He was super helpful in helping us find and book tours, pick restaurants, get to the beach, and he even fixed the speakers, the wifi, and the toilet when they broke during our stay. The website said we could hire a private chef and even though it didn't work out, Jose tried his best to accommodate our last minute request.   The villa was spacious, airy, and got a lot of light. There was room for everyone to comfortably lounge around in multiple living rooms, we had a pool, large screen TV, a kitchen with all the cooking supplies and dishware we needed, and even a BBQ outside on one of the patios. The corner store is right down the road where you can buy snacks, trinkets, postcards, etc. There are a few restaurants nearby and the beach is a 15 minute bus ride down the road. Cabs were also easy to come by. Overall I felt the neighborhood was pretty safe as well.  A few things to be aware of: 1. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have small children (or drunk/clumsy adults). The banisters around the second floor and stairs have huge gaps, large enough for a grown man to slip through and tumble to the ground below. We were a little freaked out about that since the floors were all pretty slippery. 2. The lights were a little complicated for us. It took us awhile to get used to walking around finding each light switch, selecting a lighting "scene" and holding down the light fixture until the lights came on. During the night they would randomly change color and blink and flash. The also weren't very bright. 3. We were thrilled that our bedrooms were air conditioned, but Jose was the only person who could control the temperature of them (the thermostat was not in the villa). So when I woke up freezing at 3am there was little I could do about it. 4. If you would like maid service I think you need to request it. It says maid service is included but no one came throughout our three day stay. We didn't mind, but it is something to note.  All in all I'm glad we picked the villa for our first trip to Costa Rica, and Jack and Jose were lovely hosts. If you're staying in Manuel Antonio I would recommend it.

Jack and his friend Jose were the best. From the minute we met, they were very friendly and courteous and took the time to show us around the house and offer us help around town. I knew from their website that they were good people and it showed when we met. Jack has the most beautiful house. My whole family was so pleased with the place. It's as beautiful if not more beautiful in person. Very spacious and clean, has that open concept that we were looking for and it fit my family of 7 very comfortable. It's so big, I honestly think it could have fit 5 more people. The place was walking distance to the restaurants and grocery store. I felt very safe in the neighborhood. Leaving Costa Rica was like leaving your family behind too. We formed a friendship with Jack that I know, we could go back to Manuel Antonio and strike up a conversation like old friends. We stayed in 3 places during our stay in Costa Rica. The other 2 places, we had to rent 2 hotel rooms each and be separated from our family. This house allowed us to remain together all day. I loved the fact that we could hire a personal chef to cook, serve and clean up after us. That was a treat. I also enjoyed the housekeeper who helped us figure out the money conversion. overall, our experience at the Villa was our best experience ever in Costa Rica. We felt at home while yet on a tropical vacation. I can't say enough about the place. it has everything you need- even a bbq island, even though we didn't use, it was nice to have just in case. Anyone looking for a place to stay, don't pass this up, you will not be disappointed. From the minute you enter the room, you are in paradise. This is better than any hotel has to offer. 

To say that we had an extraordinary experience in Costa Rica at the Miraje would be an understatement!! Jack was a delightful host who was instrumental in making our experience in Costa Rica extra special and wonderful.   Let's start with his outstanding property which was impeccably decorated with a keen eye. The bedrooms were spacious and well lit & air conditioned. Jack had a well stocked kitchen with light snacks, and a grocery store was literally down the lane. The lounge pool was wonderful and all the mood lighting fantastic. We absolutely loved the freedom of having our own space and access to the beach as well as Quepos.....both a short bus ride away - the bus stop was again down the lane a 100ft from his property.   One morning, Jack took us up to the farmer's market. We had an incredible time discovering fruits we had never seen or tasted before - guananama, mangosteen, maracuya! The list goes on.... We swung by local tico restaurants and even visited a cigar store where they hand rolled cigars.  There was no dearth of activities -- Jack was patient with our large group (we weren't exactly an easy bunch with 5 diverse tastes and preferences) and helped arrange for our zip lining trip despite some changes in our dates. He did the same for white river rafting which was top-class! For someone athletically challenged like myself, it was great to have experienced instructors for overall safety.   My absolute favorite were his insights into Costa Rica from a local's viewpoint....priceless!!! We went to a beach that only locals frequent and it looked like it was exported from a movie set. Aside from 3 other people, we had the beach all to ourselves....what can I say?? Jack was a wealth of information - restaurants/bars/cafes to go to, places to see, beaches to visit and if you are lucky, you might have some deep conversations too.  We will definitely go back to Manuel Antonio! Don't think twice. His property is worth every penny and more and this trip will continue to hold fond memories for my family for many years to come. Hope you enjoy it as well...! Cheers.
