Casa Capuchin, Ocean view Home - Houses for Rent in Manuel Antonio, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

We had a 5+ star experience at Casa Capuchin! It was as beautiful as all the pictures described! The daily housekeeping and laundry service were wonderful. We saw so much wildlife right from the deck, from squirrel and capuchin monkeys, a sloth, toucans, and a beautiful pair of macaws! Honestly, we could not have asked for more from this home and the host, Alexander! Alexander booked so many things for us, including our transportation, some dinner reservations and excursions, and everything was spot on! The ziplining and cooking class experience he recommended were some of our favorite activities. Thank you so much, Alexander and Casa Capuchin! We had a magical week!

Wow! This place exceeded all expectations! I have stayed in airbnbs across the US and Europe and this was the best. The home itself was gorgeous (kitchen was FULLY stocked), but the service was over the top! Daily cleaning (including laundry) was such a gift. We had a chef one night and it was delicious! Alex was always one message away to help with ANYTHING we needed....he scheduled excursions, arranged transportation, ordered our groceries for us, and answered any questions we had. He was so incredibly kind and helpful! The view, monkeys, and macaws made this place even better! Our family of nine will remember this vacation for a life-time!

Thank you for your staying with us, it was a pleasure to host you and your family!

Amazing stay.  Place was always clean and Alexander was very accommodating

Such a beautiful and wonderful place to be we were so sad when we loved blessed we had lots of animal encounters and ALEX🤞🏾 was just an amazing house so thank you

Everything was absolutely wonderful with our stay. Alexander was a very attentive host, meeting us upon arrival to show us around the house and providing great restaurant and beach recommendations.  The house is exactly as pictured.  Very relaxing, plenty of room, comfortable beds.   There is a pair of Macaws nesting right outside the house that were so fun to watch.  The daily housekeeping and laundry service was a welcome surprise.   The only people I would recommend not stay here are those with toddlers only because pool is connected to the living room.   Amazing stay… we would definitely stay here again.

We had an incredible stay at Alexander’s place. The home was exactly what we were hoping for—clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with an open-air layout that really lets you experience the surroundings. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for all six of us. What truly made this place special was the setting. We saw a pair of scarlet macaws right near the pool, and capuchin monkeys regularly came through—it felt like staying in the middle of nature in the best possible way. My (grown) kids absolutely loved it. Alexander was an outstanding host—very responsive and incredibly helpful with recommendations for local tours, activities, and getting around. His insight made the trip smoother and more enjoyable. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Wow! Beautiful property. Exactly as pictured. My family of eight enjoyed the home immensely.  Property is a short walk to restaurants and shopping. Home is in an exclusive neighborhood. The most memorable experience of staying at this property was the wildlife. We had white faced monkeys visit daily at the pool and several entered the home as the main level is open to the outside. They were wonderful to watch. There were red/blue macaws visting daily near the pool. Saw and heard the macaws flying daily. Had a milk frog on the kitchen window. The daily maid service was awesome and included daily laundry service. We also had three delicious chef prepared meals in the home. Two Costa Rican breakfasts and one red snapper/steak dinner. The fruit and food was so fresh and delicious. Can't say enough good things about Alex, the host. Alex arranged all our transportation and excursions/tours. He was very responsive and saved the day when the battery in the safe died. Want to stay here again!

Our family loved our stay at Casa Capuchin! The place was centrally located, very clean and we always felt safe. Most important, were the views and all the wildlife. Just sitting in the pool we saw sloths, capuchins, howlers, squirrel monkeys, toucans, macaws and more! We even had squirrel monkeys come right up to us in the living room! Two things to note so people know what to expect. First, the entire first floor (kitchen, dining, living, and pool) is open to the outside. The bedrooms are all enclosed and have good A/C, but the living areas are open to the outside. Second, the bedrooms are a bit spread out. Two upstairs, one below the living floor and one that you access from outside. Our kids (13 and 10) were old enough for this to work, but just want to flag for families with young kids. Overall the stay was fantastic! Alexander was very helpful booking activities and always responsive. We would definitely come back!

Thank you for your stay and looking forward to hosting you again!

Such an amazing home! Beautiful views with plenty of wildlife to see from the living room

We had an amazing stay in Manuel Antonio. Casa capuchin definitely lives up to its name as we had monkey visitors everyday. I could honestly watch them all day. The house was clean and exactly as described. Alex was fantastic from the moment he greeted us upon arrival. He was extremely responsive and helped set up any transportation and requests that we needed. We had a chef come for dinner and the food was delicious. Daily cleaning and laundry was an added plus. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at casa capuchin and can’t wait to come back!!

Staying at Alex’s place wasn’t just a vacation — it was a full-on experience. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were living the lifestyle of the rich and famous: jaw-dropping ocean views, daily visits from playful Capuchin monkeys, and even maid service that made everything effortless. The home itself is gorgeous — spacious, comfortable, and designed to let you soak in the beauty of Costa Rica at every turn. The location is perfect too, just a short, easy walk to great restaurants and shops (though honestly, it was hard to ever want to leave the house!). We did have an issue with the master bedroom AC during our stay, but Alex handled it with total professionalism, fairness, and genuine care. His responsiveness made all the difference. Bottom line: this place is so much more than just a great home base — it’s an experience you’ll remember forever. Can’t recommend it enough!

The place was fantastic. The view was better then the photos. We had monkeys visit us a few times.

Our second stay at Casa Capuchin did not disappoint!  The home is spotless with gorgeous views of the pacific, great outdoor space for lounging and pool time and nice cold AC for sleeping.  We enjoyed daily wildlife visits including 3 species of monkeys, toucans, Macaws  and a kinkajou.  Location is great for waking to some restaurants and is close to all sorts of adventure activities.   Thank you Alex again for being a great host - super responsive and flexible to make sure we had a great stay.

Your welcome thank you for your stay !

Our stay at Casa Capuchin was blissful. The house was spotless. Having everything cleaned daily, including clothes and dishes went above and beyond our expectations. The views were breathtaking at every turn. We were close enough to everything to walk to some restaurants and stores, but the house itself felt like its own little world in the treetops. We had toucans, macaws, capuchins, squirrel monkeys and various other impressive birds visit our trees. We heard the howlers every day and finally found them at Playa Biesanz. I felt relaxed from the moment I set foot in the door and thoroughly enjoyed every day.

We had an unforgettable stay at Casa Capuchin in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica! The place was absolutely amazing, offering breathtaking views and an abundance of wildlife. We were thrilled to see capuchin monkeys, sloths, squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys, toucans, and even scarlet macaws right from the property. Alex, our host, was fantastic. He went above and beyond to help us set up various excursions and arrange transportation, making our trip smooth and enjoyable. The level of service was exceptional. A special mention goes to our cleaning lady, who was incredible. She worked tirelessly all day, ensuring the house was spotless and even taking care of all our laundry. Her dedication and hard work did not go unnoticed and made our stay even more comfortable. Overall, this Airbnb exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience the natural beauty and warm hospitality of Manuel Antonio!

Casa Capuchin exceeded all expectations for our family trip.  There were 8 of us that traveled to CR from 3 different states.  Alexander was a wealth of knowledge for us before we arrived, greeted us when we arrived after dark, made excellent recommendations, and was exceptionally responsive to any question that we might have.  The home was absolutely gorgeous.  We utilized Alexander's access to chefs, and we all agreed, it was the best money we spent on treating ourselves.  Beautiful breakfasts started our days out perfectly and allowed us the mornings to sit and take in the breathtaking views and visiting wildlife:  monkey, macaw, an anteater & sloth!  This home was pristine when we arrived, and daily maid service kept it perfect.  One of my favorite touches was the daily laundry service.  Don't overpack...CR is the place to not worry about what to wear...just explore the beauty & the opportunities to do something different.

Fantastic house with gorgeous views. Can’t beat the location and scenery. The open layout of the house allowed us to enjoy all the wildlife that paid us a visit during the stay. Everything thing needed is available. Best airbnb so far for us. Alexander is a great host and always available. Maid service is a solid plus.

The views were absolutely stunning. The house keeping was essential. Everything was cleaned daily. We got the chef for 4 meals and the food was incredible.  The best beach close to the house was Playitas beach at Arenas Del Mar. Some restaurants we loved were Mirador which we had a lovely dinner at there restaurant. Le Papillon was another lovely restaurant within walking distance. Agua Azul was great for lunch or dinner.  Honestly the house, the views, the host, the house keeper and the chefs were the absolute highlights of the entire trip!!

Casa Capuchin exceeded all our expectations for our first time visit to Costa RIca. Alex met us at the house when we arrived and walked us through any questions about what to expect during our stay. He also informed us at that time that he would be available for questions 24/7, which he was! The amount of wildlife we were able to see during our stay up close and personal was out of this world! Do yourself a favor and skip the National Park because the views and interactions of animals at Casa Capuchin are far better! We had a family of 7, all over the age of 18 and this was a perfect setup of bedrooms and space. The pool was perfect for evening swims and helped to cool us off during the day. We used taxis for dinners in the evening, but the market and other shops/restaurants are within walking distance. I would 10/10 recommend this place if you are planning a visit to Costa Rica.

Your welcome Charlie! It was my pleasure to host you and your family!

Casa Capuchin was a wonderful place to stay for our family.  The highlight of our time was being able to see wildlife up close and personal.  Make sure to bring your binoculars when you come.  We really enjoyed the open air concept for the living and kitchen rooms, but at times, especially with the early morning sun, it was hot.  It wasn't anything that we couldn't handle though.  One of our family members was unable to walk to the top of the street because of the steepness of the street, but we were always able to call a taxi for help.  That was an "us" problem, not a Casa Capuchin problem.  We didn't want to leave - we felt like we were in paradise!

Alex was great and easy to work with. The place is killer. We saw more wildlife off the back property than in the national park. Was a great house and Alex was great. Would love to come back soon

The home was lovely and near areas where there was lots to do and see.  Many good restaurants were nearby.

This was an amazing airbnb and felt very luxurious. It is a 5 minute drive from the beach, and there were amazing views all throughout the house. The kitchen was great and we actually cooked twice during our stay and used the grill. The bedrooms were very big and each room has its own bathroom. The pool was also awesome. While there, we also saw a family of monkeys pass by, a toucan, a sloth, and two hawks.  It feels like this house was integrated with preserving nature and not disrupting the ecosystem, which was nice.

Hi Antonio it was my pleasure to host your group and thank you for the review

The place deserves a 10. Alexander is lovely and the house cleaning service is fantastic. The house is very well located in Manuel Antonio, near the beach, the park. With all kinds of amenities to make your stay unique. Congratulations. We'll recommend it. Greetings from Spain

El alojamiento merece un 10. Alexander es encantador y el servicio de limpieza de la casa es fantástico. La casa está muy bien ubicada en Manuel Antonio, cerca de la playa, del parque. Con toda clase de comodidades para convertir la estancia en única. Enhorabuena. La recomendaremos. Un saludo desde España

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Capuchin and it far exceeded our expectations. It felt like we were staying in a nature preserve with daily visits from the monkeys, multiple sloth and toucan sightings. Staying at this house definitely made our trip. Alexander was very helpful right from the beginning, thru activity planning/booking and during our stay. Having Jessi take care of cleaning and laundry was such a treat enabling us to relax and enjoy. One word of caution that made us nervous at times with our 7 and 10 yr olds was the pool area felt a little less secure with minimal railings. I would just ask for some details here if you have younger children. Also the 4th bedroom had separate access like an inlaw unit so would suggest only for adults or older teens. They did provide a blow up bed for 3rd bedroom so all 5 kids could sleep there. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, the views were amazing with really great people. We highly recommend!

We had an absolutely amazing trip, and Casa Capuchin was the center of it all! The house and the host (Alexander) were both better than advertised. Alexander was very responsive and was able to get us booked on some fun excursions, even on last minute requests. Communication was great. The house is unreal. We saw so much wildlife just sitting by the pool and enjoying the view. Capuchin monkeys, squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys, Toucans, Macaws, and even a sloth! The house is centrally located and you can easily walk to a number of restaurants and markets. Do yourself a favor and stay at Casa Capuchin!

We love animals and this was the main reason we selected Casa Capuchin.  We were NOT disappointed. We had monkeys visit every single day, as well as saw macaws, toucans and other birds daily. Simply magical. We had squirrel monkeys play wrestling with each other in the open air living room!  The house was exactly as described in the listing. The only recommendations we have would be to add a recycling option at the house, upgrade Wi-Fi coverage, and provide a lightning cable adapter (or Bluetooth) for the stereo headphone jack used for music. These are minor though; we had experiences in this house that will last a lifetime for kids and adults alike.

We were extremely pleased with the accommodations, views, daily sighting of wildlife, and sounds of the pacific waves crashing. Alexander was extremely helpful with all our activities, restaurant suggestions and getting us to and from the airport. I wasn’t aware that we would have laundry and cleaning service provided, we were certainly spoiled and definitely plan to return!

Thank you Im glad you all had a good time!

First and foremost,  an amazing view.  The location was perfect and the house was clean when we entered.   Alexander was extremely responsive to all of our questions.

Casa Capuchin is even more beautiful in person.  The home is pristine and is cleaned perfectly daily.  The ocean views are gorgeous.  Monkeys and Macaws visited the pool area daily which was very fun and exciting.  We also saw toucans.  The pool was great to cool off in.  We can't wait to come back.

Alex's place is truly amazing, we really enjoyed our time there and highly recommend it !

Came for a girl’s trip and we absolutely loved our stay!  What an amazing home and location. The view in surroundings are unbelievable. I would also recommend the chef service and ask for Glenda!  Food was outstanding!!

Amazing views, beautiful home, very spacious and open

Beautiful house and location. Bedrooms big and comfortable. Great to have monkey, macaw and many visitors daily. Has everything you need!

We had a wonderful time staying at Casa Capuchin! It was everything you have read about it.  The home was gorgeous. The views were amazing. The monkeys were plentiful and Alexander was very helpful!!  Love our stay!!!

Casa Capuchin is a dream! Alexander was attentive and available for us at any hour. He helped us coordinate transportation and home-cooked meals. He ensured the fridge and bar were stocked, and even greeted us the night we arrived. The house and views were beautiful but really it was the hospitality we received from everyone around that made it extra special. We would 100% book again.

Great trip.  The house was beautiful, very modern, well furnished.  Alexander and the housekeeper were outstanding.   Exceeded out expectations!

Alexander is extremely accommodating, communicative and has a wonderful staff that makes everyone feel welcomed.

Alexander was amazing & always available for anything we need !!! Best of the best !

WOW! This place does not disappoint!   The pictures don’t do it justice.  Monkeys and all types of birds visit you daily and Alexander goes above and beyond to make your stay AMAZING!!!

We had a great time at casa capuchin. The views were great, and the wildlife was as advertised. Alex was very helpful and we would definitely come back again.

Casa capuchin was a dream. The view, the house, alexander the concierge and Jess the housekeeper. Just incredible

The house was really nice.  The view was amazing.  The only complaint we had was the pool was too shaded and was cold.  Cold to the point we really couldn’t enjoy it.    Other than that it was an awesome set up.  Saw lots of monkeys.   The maid honestly is the best part.  She goes above and beyond everyday.   She really made our stay.  She folded our clothes every day and the house was in perfect condition everyday.  All we had to worry about was having fun.  I would definitely stay here again.  Highly recommended.

Excellent stay. Alexander is always attentive to what is needed and very good cleaning service. Very good availability of towels. Most importantly, excellent ocean view and unbeatable tranquility.

Excelente estadía. Alexander siempre atento a lo que se necesita y el servicio de limpieza muy bueno. La disponibilidad de toallas muy buena. Lo mas importante excelente vista al mar y una tranquilidad inmejorable.

The property was outstanding. I would say it’s even better than the photos! Alex goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and has best recommendations. Everyone including the cleaning staff were exceptional. I will be coming back again in the future!

Casa Capuchin was a paradise for our first trip to Costa Rica and Manuel Antonio. This house has such spectacular views, located in the heart of Manuel Antonio. Every room has been setup so thoughtfully and have great views of the ocean. The infinity pool was the favorite of our girls and they spent their time relaxing there after the day ended. The cleaners were great In keeping the place clean and washing and drying our clothes. Don’t pack too many clothes 😀. Alexander was an exceptional host whose knowledge of the area and CR in general was so very helpful in our trip. We ended up taking advise from things to do to local favorites to eat. Alexander was always accessible, really really responsive and a great friend on the trip. Would love to stay with Alexander again. If you are planning a trip to Manuel Antonio look at staying at Casa Capuchin and get in touch with Alexander to plan your trip. Thanks for such an exceptional and memorable trip to CR.

Thank you for the review and hope to see you again soon

Staying at Casa Capuchin will always be on my list of favorite travel experiences.  Alex is hospitable and helpful and has made Casa Capuchin feel like a home not simply a rental property.  He went so far as to met us at the house at 11:00 p.m. to check us in and show us around the house.  Casa Capuchin exceeded expectations and I had high expectations.  It was very clean, well stocked, included many thoughtful touches not mentioned in the listing and the woman who cleaned the home was a invaluable.   The pool was clean and well kept as was the landscaping around the house.  There were 7 of us ranging from 72 to 7 and there was more than enough room for us all to spread out.  I would advise parents of very young children to consider the open staircases.  My 7 year old was perfectly safe but I would’ve have been nervous if I had a child 4 or younger.  If you want to get up close to monkeys, hands down this is the house for you.  I never knew when they would come (sometimes it was very early in the morning) but a few days they came twice!  Casa Capuchin is located just off the main less then 10 minutes from both Quepos and the national park (hire a guide for the national park!).   You can’t go wrong with Casa Capuchin.  We will stay here next time we are in Manuel Antonio.  Thanks Alex!

Ever dreamt of Shangri-La?... This is it!

Beautiful house, perfect location, awesome experience from start to end - thanks for hosting!

This place is incredible! Even better than expected. Stunning ocean views, daily cleaning, private pool, air conditioned bedrooms, lots of monkey friends and located near several restaurants. Alex is extremely attentive and helpful for anything you need. Perfect for our group and would definitely recommend!

This house is better than the photos. The views were breathtaking. Alex was easy to reach and suggested an excellent spot for dinner. This house was a great find and made our time in Manuel Antonio even better!

Wonderful views and amazing house. We enjoyed so much sitting in the living room and watching kids swim while taking in the views. Alexander helped with everything including arranging excursions and a chef. We loved the house and had kids aged 7-12.  Smaller kids would be a bit nerve wracking given the set up- nicer bedrooms are upstairs and kid rooms down so two floors between. Also one bedroom off of garden was somewhat separate from house. Perfect for a tween or teen.   We had such a great time there. Two families and plenty of space!!

Nothing short of amazing! We were a group of 8 and the photos really do this little piece of paradise no justice. Alex was AWESOME, met us at the house (which was amazing and extremely comfortable and safe) for check in, organized all our activities which most included lunch, and was on call to us basically 24/7 for any questions we had. OMG Chef Glenda, I wish I could take her home with me, everyday we made her do her thing and introduce us to local foods and everyday the food got more and more amazing! The maid service is perfect, we got our clothes washed everyday except Sunday and always had fresh towels and everything we needed. Lastly THE MONKEY'S! If you want to be one with nature and see the monkey's this house is perfect. Every morning the monkey's would come to the house and hang out with us by the pool! I truly have never experience such great hospitality and love at an airbnb before. My family and I truly appreciated the memories we were able to build at this house and on this vacation thanks to Alex and his amazing team. We cannot say THANK YOU enough!!! 5++++++ stars

We had a wonderful time and could not have asked for better hospitality. House was spotless with special touches every day. I highly recommend the chef. Alex was fantastic to help make sure our trip was perfect!

Just like other reviews: pictures don’t do this place justice. Alex is amazing. He booked all of our tours and excursions while providing the best local spots to drink & eat. Yesenia kept everything so clean. We were a large group and always had an abundance of towels for the pool. She also did laundry, folded clothes, picked up clothes/suitcases off the floor, folded towels into adorable animals. The group definitely is counting down the days until our next trip. 

This is that rare time that the photos don't do the house justice -- it looks just as beautiful, if not more beautiful, than the pictures. We stayed out at the house with two other families, each with one kid, and had plenty of room for all nine of us. All the bedrooms are VERY spacious with beautiful bathrooms. The two master bedrooms have SPECTACULAR views. Just a note that the fourth bedroom is all the way down below and the bed is in a loft (it must have been moved since the photos on airbnb were taken); nothing wrong with it, but really best for one kid or two who can share a bed. The host Alex was very helpful before and during our stay. He can help arrange tours, babysitters, a chef for dinner, vans to the airport and taxis. He also ordered us groceries and had them waiting when we arrived. Even better, the house comes with maid service; Jessie was incredibly friendly and did our laundry every day, so you can pack a little less (you'll go through a lot of clothing since most tours get you sweaty and dirty). One of the best things about the house is the location. It's just a five minute walk uphill to some of the best restaurants in town. You'll need to take a five minute taxi down to the beach, although we did walk it one day in 25 minutes. Our favorite places to eat: Agua Azul has great food and great view; Cafe Milagro (for breakfast or dinner), Emilio's, Victor's Italian Gourmet and La Luna at Gaia Hotel. All were great meals. For tours we did White Water Rafting with Unique Tours (great guides, very old van with no a/c); Baru Park Tour with Freddie (best guide of the trip); and Parasailing/Jetskiing) with Aguas Azules (they were amazing and you can make a full beach day out of it -- they'll pick you up, provide beach chairs/umbrellas and the activities). It will be hot, but you get used to it. The rooms have a/c, which is nice since nothing else in Manual Antonio is air conditioned. Bugs at the house aren't an issue in dry season. And you do see monkeys! Overall, an amazing house and an amazing trip.

The house is truly beautiful with stunning views from all of living spaces and most bedrooms. It's equipped with everything you could need for a very comfortable stay and the bedrooms are large and comfortable. The house was spotlessly clean on arrival and had daily cleaning which was of a fantastic standard. Alexander was on hand 24 hours if we needed anything but gladly we were able to leave him in peace :-) The location of the house is very central for restaurants/shops etc. but is also tucked away giving lots of privacy. The birds and monkeys come very close to the house, (sometimes inside), which is a real treat and just requires mindfulness to keep food items away in cupboards. Even with the house so open, the insect life at night with the lights on was not an issue for us at all which was a pleasant surprise! The one note I would add is that due to the position of the house and the design of the roof overhang, there is little to no sun on the outdoor ares or by the pool so the house isn't suitable for those looking for a sunbathing vacation. It's not a criticism of the house at all, (it's brilliant), just an observation that might help others.

Amazing views- easy access to beaches and park by taxi, bus or on foot. Well stocked supermarket and an ATM at the top of the road Taxi from airport and back was all arranged by Alex which was really helpful - payment in US Dollars. House is immaculate- maintained by friendly daily maid service(and laundry) for several hours each day, which took some getting used to, but any problems with appliances were sorted out without us even realising Never tired of the view and the sound of the howler monkeys' Mexican wave roars every dawn and dusk. The Capuchin monkeys visited and cooled themselves in the pool and all the trips and pickups organised by Alex ran smoothly Only downside is that the pool is quite small and the area adjacent to it had limited sun at the time of year that we were there. One of the rooms has winding steps up to the bed and is effectively separate and self contained with a living area, which could suit some parties. The whole back of the house is open, so you have to be able to cope with the local wildlife (moths,beetles etc), but we loved it

This place is amazing! Loved the view and seeing the monkeys. 

We loved loved loved our stay at Casa Capuchin! Highly recommend. Can't wait to come back...

This is an exceptional house in an exceptional spot on the planet. The house is clean, well-appointed, and has breathtaking views. We were happy to be greeted with a white-faced monkey within the first hour of our visit. Not so happy about them getting into our Captain Crunch the next day (pay heed to Alex's monkey-proofing instructions). We were two families traveling with kids 8-12 years old. The kids loved the house too. The house is a decent walk up hill to restaurants and shops. We had cars so mostly decided to drive up, to keep cooler in the sweltering heat. Alex was invaluable in arranging for excellent tours of Manuel Antonio Park as well as an awesome zip lining tour. Alex, the cleaning staff, and owners have made an effort and succeeded at delivering a first class lodging experience. Things to note: this house does NOT work for families with small children. There are many stairs without rails that would prevent a child from falling. Whereas we loved that the house was open to the fresh air and forest, it did make for quite a few bugs to contend with at night. Not too big an issue as wildlife was the reason for visiting the area, but who likes mosquitoes? Just remember to try and keep the bedroom doors closed to keep the bugs out at night.

The house was everything we hoped it would be!  Alexander was always available to help us with transportation and restaurant selection.   Everything was a short walk away.   Cabs and public transportation was easily accessible.   Great stay and a good value. 

Alex was such a great host to us, being on call at all reasonable hours and and suggesting great activities and restaurants. The house itself was mind blowing, we loved the open plan and the amazing view. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you Alex for everything! 

Our vacation in Costa Rica was unforgettable made so in large part by the help, information and guidance provided by Alex.  Casa Capuchin with its amazing architecture, stunning views and functional comfort provided a great base from which we could explore the beaches, The National Park, the local towns and all of the surrounding natural beauty.  Frequent visits by the monkeys kept us entertained as well.  All in all, it is a great vacation spot!

What an amazing experience. We were a group of 7 and we all LOVED the house. Pictures dont do it justice. Our host was very attentive and assissted us 24/7. Manuel Antonio it's beatiful and this house made the whole experience excellent. 

I was fortunate enough to recently stay at Casa Capuchin with 7 friends on a much needed group vacation. The photos of the house made it easy for our group to pick this as our home for 5 days. As if that weren't enough, the house was even more incredible upon arrival. True paradise and made for the exact vacation/get-away you dream of. Adding to our vision of paradise was Alex! An incredible host - there for our every need, and catering to all 7 guests with a warm demeanor and always a smile. Alex would return calls/emails within minutes and we would not have been able to relax and enjoy our time as much as we did without him. Casa Capuchin is a home away from home, and we hope to see Alex and Casa Capuchin next year! Definitely one of my favorite places, and can't wait to return!

The host canceled this reservation 108 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Beautiful house, well-stocked, ideal place for group holidays. I would go back to this house!!! Impeccable!

Hermosa casa, bien provista, lugar ideal para vacaciones en grupo. Volvería a esta casa!!! Impecable!

Alexander was an excellent host! He's there for you 24/7 and knows all the great local things to experience. The house itself is gorgeous, and the pool in the living room looks out over the ocean. While I didn't see any monkeys at the house, I did see a few right next to it. There's a "Monkey highway" rope right beside the building where you might catch a glimpse of them swinging around.   The house has all the amenities you need, including daily maid service. The wifi was excellent, and the views from the two top floor bedrooms amazing. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to experience all the wonderful things there are to do in Manuel Antonio!

AWESOME HOUSE AND HOST!!!! Chef prepared an amazing meal for us. 5 stars!

Alexander was super helpful, and sorted out anything we needed, from ATV tours to private dining. He was in touch the whole time, and always available to us. Our trip would not have been the same without him. I would say however, that despite the size of the house, this is not a good place for a large, non family group. The owners are extremely concerned about things like tracking sand into the (outdoor) house, smoking near any furniture (outside), any kind of loud noise too late, etc. Great for families, probably not the right place for a "raucous" group of friends.

Alex was a wonderful host.  He was very helpful when planning & booking the activities.  He took care of all involved.  I reached many times during our stay & he made himself available along with being extremely responsive & helpful.  Beautiful house with amazing view.  

We are sad we left! Alexander is amazing. He was always within reach; connected us with a super guide (Smooth Freddy) for Manuel Antonio National Park; provided great restaurant suggestions. The house is special. Unusual outdoor living. Stunning views. Monkeys as neighbors. Pura Vida is not just a phrase. 

We had a great time at Casa Capuchin! Beautiful views and the house is just as described! The house has an easy access to restaurants, beach and Quepos! I would recommend it to anybody who visits Manuel Antonio! Alexander was great! He accomodated his schedule to meet us late night to give us the keys! Also, he recomended an excursion, waterfall reppelling, which was really fun!

Casa Capuchin surpassed all expectations for our group of 8 and was one of the huge the highlights of our trip to Manuel Antonio! The views and ammenties were amazing. It was a very close walk to many restaurants, bars, cafes, the local supermarkets and a number of beautiful beaches.   Alex was an amazing host that assisted us in booking transportation, zip lining, deep sea fishing and a chef that came to the house two nights to prepare us amazing dinners. He was very responsive (we heard back from him within the hour) any time we would reach out.   Sonia, the cleaning staff, was meticulous in cleaning the house daily, especially a few times after monkeys threw some late night parties in the kitchen.   Our interaction with the wildlife around the home made for some hilarious pictures and stories. It was not uncommon to have monkeys come hang with us by the pool.   We will highly recommend Casa Cappuchin to our friends and cannot wait to go back!

This house is absolutely amazing! We had the most wonderful 4-night stay here in the heart of Manuel Antonio amidst the Capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, birds, sunshine, rain, lightning storms, and natural beauty. The first thing we all did when we opened the front door was gasp at the stunning views of Espadilla Beach, the verdant jungle, and the edge of Manuel Antonio National Park.   7 of us stayed in this house, and there was one extra bedroom and plenty of space! The house layout is incredible, with the common area outdoors, and the bedroom upstairs and downstairs. The road it's on is very close (~8 min) to the main road of Manuel Antonio/Quepos and close to great restaurants, cafés, a small market, and a bank. The convenience is great, but it does not take away from the feeling that you are in the middle of a rainforest.  Alexander was always available and extremely helpful in arranging various adventures for us while we were there. He ensures you are with a reputable company for activities like ziplining, parasailing, guided tours, etc. and he can arrange for it within an hour!   The house is very carefully maintained with a house cleaner who comes every day for over 3 hours to clean every room. Although many bugs naturally make their way into the house, they miraculously disappeared after the thorough cleaning!  I would HIGHLY recommend staying at this wonderful home. My family already wants to come back to experience the magic again! This house definitely made our experience even more special being in the beautiful area of Manuel Antonio! :)

My husband and I and another couple rented the place recently for a week. Alex was a great host and we absolutely loved the property! We woke up to stunning views everyday. Monkeys came to visit a few times which was pretty neat. We fed them bananas near the pool area, they are very friendly. They can come into the kitchen when you're not around so make sure not to leave any food out. We asked Alex for recommendations on tours and he set us up with the best zip lining tour ever. We also took a sunset catamaran tour that he recommended which was amazing in its own right. We hired a personal chef to cook a Costa Rican dinner and the food was delicious. Sonia is the helper of the house and she is very kind and helpful; she washed our clothes for us a couple times and cut us fresh fruit, always keeping the place tidy. House looks exactly like the pics. I wouldn't recommend for younger kids like toddlers as it is a lovely modern space at a high elevation. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and loved Manuel Antonio so much. We rented a 4x4 suv which we often parked on the side of the road or in the garage and had no problems. We walked down to the Main Street with cafes and restaurants a couple times although we preferred driving when it in the day when it was hot. We can wait to visit again! We had a wonderful experience in Casa Capuchin.
