El Encanto Forest & Ocean View close to M A Park - Houses for Rent in Quepos, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

• Incredible jungle experience with breathtaking panoramic views from the pool and balconies. The steep drive is worth it—we had no issues in a Toyota RAV4 AWD. • Amazing wildlife right from the property: squirrel monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, coatis, iguanas, a parrot snake, blue morpho butterflies, frogs, hawks, vultures, spiders, and even a scorpion. • Johannes, the concierge, was outstanding, helpful, responsive within minutes, and arranged three excellent tours at great prices • Clean, comfortable home stocked with essentials. Great layout for two families, though only one bedroom is on the main living level so might not work for one family with kids. AC works well, pool was nice. • Excellent location near Manuel Antonio and Quepos. • Expect bugs and wildlife—it’s the rainforest! Keep belongings off the floor (we found a scorpion in wet shoes our mistake for leaving them). Minor gaps in the older home didn’t affect our stay. We’d absolutely stay again!

Dear Amanda and family, Thank you for your visit and excellent review of our property. We are always making improvements to ensure our guests have a quality stay. In the coming months, we will be doing work on the pool and surrounding area. During your next stay, you will be able to see the before and after! Recommend us to family and close friends. Greetings!

Our stay at this home in Quepos was absolutely unforgettable. The drive up to the house, while short, was a little challenging the first time as we figured out exactly where we were going. However, the moment we pulled into the driveway and saw the breathtaking views, any stress from the drive instantly disappeared. The panoramic mountain scenery, treetop views, stunning infinity pool, and beautiful natural surroundings were even more impressive than the photos. Every morning felt like waking up in paradise. The host was exceptional—responsive, accommodating, and truly went above and beyond. They helped arrange our taxi transportation and connected us with an incredible deep-sea fishing excursion that ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The house was spotless, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed and more. We felt completely safe and at home throughout our stay. One of the most magical parts of this property was the wildlife. We saw monkeys, toucans, sca

We are more than happy with your comment. We deeply appreciate your visit and you will always be welcome. In the near future, we will be making some improvements to make the experience even more perfect!

Thanks a lot. It was a pleasure to have you.

The house was nice and amenities good. However, the road to the house was very difficult to drive on with smaller lower cars, this wasn’t mentioned in the description. Pool wasn’t 100% clean and there weren’t any tools (net) to clean it. We asked for an earlier check in as the designated time is 4pm when it usually is around 2-3pm in most places, host was charging us $300usd for early check in at 2pm (2h for $300). Other than that the house is well located near Manuel Antonio and supermarkets. Very spacious, clean and nice.

Wonderful experience at Matt’s place! We stayed here with two families (4 adults and 4 kids) and everyone loved it! The views of the mountains on one side and of the ocean on the other side are phenomenal! Every bedroom has their own balcony and comfortable chairs to enjoy the outdoors. The pool was also great! The house was very clean and very spacious for everyone to meet for meals and games and TV watching while also having space to retreat for privacy. It’s far enough out of town to have quiet and close enough to make grocery runs easy. The highlight was definitely watching the birds, iguanas and other wildlife right around the house.

Beautiful house, very tastefully decorated, with a splendid view and wonderful for observing nature and wildlife. The pool is a dream, just like the spacious living room with open kitchen, almost all-round glass, and a balcony for relaxing hours. Thank you very much, Matt. We will be happy to come back.

Wunderschönes Haus, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, mit herrlichem Blick und wunderbar, um Natur und Tiere zu beobachten. Der Pool ist ein Traum, genau wie der geräumige Wohnraum mit offener Küche und beinahe rundum Glas und Balkon für entspannende Stunden. Vielen Dank Matt, wir kommen sehr gern wieder.

Matt’s place was very spacious and well worth the price. We appreciated the many AC units and fans. And the yard and upstairs floor and very nice views. Matt himself was very communicative and answered our questions quickly and helped us plan an excursion. A couple things to note: the WiFi signal is very weak on the ground floor and although you don’t need 4x4 or anything special to make it to the Airbnb, the rode there is very much unpaved and uneven.

No complaints, everytime I reached out he gave a quick response.

House was as advertised and spacious. Great views and close to town and the Marina. Worked out very well for our needs.

We had a wonderful stay. The concierge was very helpful and always responsive whenever we needed anything. The home was spotless, and having a housekeeper come in during our stay was such a treat. The views are absolutely incredible and seem to change throughout the day with the light and the weather. The infinity-edge pool is beautiful and felt like a private oasis. The wraparound patios and spacious kitchen created a perfect place to relax and entertain, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. It truly felt like living like a king while still being surrounded by the warmth and culture of the city below. The only minor issue was the shower temperature fluctuating at times, but overall this was an amazing place to stay and we would happily return.

An exquisite, show-stopping property. The home features a huge, beautifully maintained pool and has been fully renovated from floor to ceiling within the past month or two. Every detail feels fresh, modern, and immaculate. Top-tier, brand-new appliances are found throughout, including an impressive European espresso machine, an exceptional refrigerator, a flawless dishwasher, and a washer and dryer that are both whisper-quiet and highly efficient. Designer, elegant drapery adds a refined finish to the windows. The bathrooms are superb—sparkling clean, outfitted with stunning high-end faucets and shower heads, and offering constant hot water with strong pressure in every bathroom. All furniture is modern and effectively brand new. The entire home looks and even smells like a Ritz penthouse, reflecting meticulous care and attention to detail throughout. Access is effortless via a perfect road—no SUV required. This is truly a dream property that will wow you the moment you walk inside.

Matthew's place was great. We reached a bit late for check-in and he was very responsive and made sure there were no issues. He even allowed us to check out a bit later than usual, which was a great help. Overall - a great place to be - very calm !

Great accommodation. The views are superb. The accommodation is close to Manuel Antonio and quiet. Loved our stay. Note that there are only 2 showers for 8-9… it's not huge but nothing disturbing :)

Super logement. La vue est superbe. Le logement est proche de Manuel Antonio et au calme. Nous avons adoré notre séjour. À noter qu’il y a que 2 douches pour 8-9… c’est pas énorme mais rien de dérangeant :)

The accommodation is in a good area and is spacious. However, it lacks a lot of maintenance and interior cleaning. We found several spiders and even a scorpion in the main bathtub. The pool is fine and has good views.

El alojamiento está en buena zona y es amplio. Sin embargo le falta bastante mantenimiento y limpieza interior. Nos encontramos con varias arañas e incluso un alacrán en la bañera principal. La piscina está bien y cuenta con buenas vistas.

A great place for the price, but here’s what you need to know: The Pros: • Big house—good for larger groups • Excellent air conditioning • Great pool • Stunning views • Handy bar area • Darien (concierge) was amazing—quick to respond, super helpful, arranged excursions and transportation, and even gave us a fantastic tour of the national park The Minor Cons: • You can’t flush toilet paper. This is common in the area, but it was news to us. • The steep gravel driveway and lack of a formal address made Uber pickups a bit tricky (though rides were cheap—around $5 + tip). • The 2.5 bathrooms could be a challenge for larger groups. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend it—especially for the value and the service!

My husband went on a guys fishing trip and they had nothing but great things to say about the home. Definitely need a 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicle. They loved the views!

What a beautiful place to stay! View was amazing, lots of fun ! Kids totally enjoyed the pool after a long day of sightseeing! Great location easy access to everything! Our host arranged so many things for us which made things easier on us! Great place wonderful host! Thanks the Walker Family

Large and comfortable house for a large group. It has an excellent view, it was clean and with many different spaces to enjoy.

Casa amplia y cómoda para un grupo grande. Tiene una excelente vista, estaba limpia y con muchos espacios diferentes para disfrutar.

Our concierge Darien was awesome. He met us at the property and showed us around and helped us with tours and dining reservations. The house itself is on a hill so I would recommend four wheel drive, but pretty location and great views and close to a lot of tours and the beach.

WONDERFUL STAY BEYOND ALL OUR EXPECTATIONS! Matthew's home was the perfect place for our family vacation. The layout was a perfect arrangement of space that was so clean! My mother in law kept asking, "How do they get these floors so clean?". The kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils, pots and pans and a large table for us all to enjoy our meals while enjoying the view. The air conditioning worked great along with fans to keep us cool from the heat. Of course the pool was a wonderful treat. Every day we enjoyed watching Tucans and other birds from the balcony. The most incredibly part of our stay was the wonderful help from Darien, the house concierge and manager. He was available from the start to offer assistance with transportation, tours, where to get general items and more. He got us in touch with a chef who came to the house to cook and serve us one of the best meals we have ever had. He made this the best airbnb experience we have ever had. Thank you Darien!

Great place to stay when fishing. 4 minute drive to the marina. Big roomy house with nice views

All was good. Matthew helped with everything

We had a great time here! The place was large and had plenty of space. The pool and patio views are better than the pictures. Darian was responsive, helpful and made sure we had a great time while in Costa Rica. Highly recommend doing some of the activities with him, we found ours was more private, and ended up with monkeys and crocodiles in our mangrove boat, too fun!!

Excellent location for a large group! Beautiful pool and outdoor seating area with a view of the jungle.  Four large bedrooms. Large kitchen and living room area.

The house was awesome! Everything you need! It was even nicer than we thought! Really luxurious 😍 Darien was also always responsive via WhatsApp and helped us very quickly with questions!

Das Haus war der Hammer! Alles was man braucht! War noch viel schöner als wir gedacht hatten! Richtig luxuriös 😍 Auch Darien war immer ansprechbar über Whats App und hat uns sehr schnell bei Fragen geholfen!

El Encanto is an awesome place! Our guests made sure we were taken care of, helped us book near by activities, were friendly and provided ud with everything we nedeed. We would definitely be back!

I don't know where to begin to describe our incredible experience at Casa El Encanto.  The house is high on a hill over looking the ocean (in the distance) and the forest.  The house looks exactly like the pictures in the AirBnb description - spacious, comfortable, relaxing - everything that our  family of 8 needed for our vacation.  Darien - the property manager is extremely responsive and helpful.  When we had questions, Darien responded quickly.  Darien arranged for a private chef for us one evening to celebrate my husband's birthday.  It was just delicious!  The house is in a perfect location.  Minutes from Quepos and 10 minutes from Manuel Antonio.  There is so much to do in that part of Costa Rica.  My family chose a combination of activity and downtime - which we spent relaxing by the lovely pool.   One more amazing thing about the house, you can do some extraordinary birdwatching right from the balcony!  We loved our stay and would highly recommend this home for a holiday!

(1) Matthew’s place is as described. Spacious kitchen and master bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms on the top floor with a lovely view of greenery and some ocean. There are 3 bedrooms with a shared bathroom in the bottom floor. (2) The salt water pool is lovely. Lots of toucans and such flying around. (3) Location is great - very convenient to get to the beach, National park, and activities. (4) I think Darien is the “secret ingredient” in this place. He’s very communicative and proactive and has a tremendous amount of hustle. In addition to being a property manager, he runs mangrove tours himself, does marketing for a lovely waterfall tour, among others. He helped us plan our trip and his recommendations for activities were excellent. (the mangrove tour with him and the waterfall tours were highlights, the ATV tour was solid… the Manuel Antonio guided walk alone felt skippable.. for the cost). He made our experience!

Amazing views and clean place with lots of space. The house was up a tall hill but Darien was a wonderful concierge, and was able to help us arrange transportation as well as excursions. We had a great time!

Amazing place in the heart of the jungle, apartment.  Huge with an amazing pool.  Darien was available for any request and always handled quickly and efficiently.  We came to the apartment to be close to the Manuel Antonio reserve but the amount of animals we saw around the apartment in the mornings was much more than in the reserve.  We fed monkeys with bananas, saw toucans, macaws, birds of different colors, squirrels, iguanas by the pool.  What is important to note is that those who are stressed by bugs and spiders should take into account that staying in the jungle brings many bugs home.  We were stressed about it at first but then when we made sure to close the house it was less of a problem.  There is no doubt that the place is worth it.

Perfect location! House is very clean with plenty of room and amazing views. Watching the sunrise from the pool is a must if you stay!

Casa El Encanto Forest & Ocean View was FABULOUS! We enjoyed the unexpected wildlife all around us. From monkeys swinging in the trees above us as we walked to town, to watching toucans and macaws in trees around us, to the iguana and lizard near the pool - it was truly AMAZING! We also loved watching the sunset over the ocean from our balcony. We are a family of 5 (3 teens) and appreciated the well stocked kitchen, as well as a room for each of us with separate AC units. And . . . THE INFINITY POOL!! We explored in the mornings and then spent time in the pool in the afternoon. A very relaxing vacation - Highly recommend!! NOTE: -The master BR is on the 2nd floor and the 3 other BRs on the 1st. At the top of the stairs, there is a sliding door to maintain the AC in the LR. For those with small children, the separation might be an issue. -The house is at the top of a steep hill. We had 2WD & no issues. Might be challenging walk to town for some.

This place was fantastic. The house has great views, you can see the ocean or the mountains, and see the sunrise and the sunset. The pool is fantastic, overlooking the mountains. Darien was extremely helpful with recommendations and always a message away from everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

House was very nice and the pool was a bonus. Air works great, safe location, and very spacious. Darien was extremely helpful and food delivery gets complicated in finding location. He contacted them directly to get it delivered. Water was not working one morning but Darien got it working quickly, this was not a house issue but town at the moment.

We had a great experience, beautiful views from the balcony and the pool with a family of scarlet macaw flying around. Darien the property manager was fantastic, very responsive and provided great food and activity recommendations.

2 families had an amazing time In MA.  Darien, the concierge and his wife were amazing.  They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.  They gave us suggestions for restaurants and activities.  We did a private tour with Darien of the mangroves and it was 100% worth it.  We had personal encounters with the monkeys because of Darien.  The pool was such a nice treat at the end of our adventures.   The views were also spectacular.  Recommend this place for a large group or two families.  Driveway is steep so recommend 4x4.

Cannot say enough about the views from this house absolutely stunning. Could have spent the whole time on the balconies. Wonderful home very clean and spacious. Pool was wonderful with a great view as well.

I would highly recommend staying here if you have the chance to visit Manuel Antonio. The house is very spacious (more than enough room for 9 guests) and was very clean when we came. The best part was communicating with the host Darien — he was extremely friendly and the most proactive and responsive host we’ve had. We were able to book an amazing catamaran tour through him, which we would not have known about otherwise. There were a couple of power outages (not to anyone’s fault, we were here during the rainy season when it’s common), but he was on top of it and very easy to reach out to. There were also a few bugs, but it was expected due to the house’s location in nature. The amenities, including washer dryer, the pool, balcony, were all perfect. Checking out was also the easiest process we’ve had in any Airbnb. My group was very happy with the overall experience and would stay there again given the opportunity.

We loved this home!  The views were amazing!  We loved the infinity pool.   Darien was excellent with communication and helping us with rides when we needed it .  We had an great stay!!

Great location close to Marina Pez Vela...   Only concern is the road to access the house is a little rough.  I suggest a 4x4 vehicle to access.

I highly recommend this home. It is right between downtown Quepos and Manuel Antonio. It is accessible to everything for a great family vacation in CR! You get the best of both worlds perched up on the hill, enjoying sunrises over the jungle and mountains and sunsets gazing out over the Pacific Ocean! Our concierge, Darien, made us feel at home and arranged most of our activities for a stress free vacation! He is super responsive, courteous and can connect you with the best excursions, park guides, fishing trips and more. All you have to do is ask 🙂. Thank you for a memorable family vacation Darien! I hope to meet up with you again in the future, Pura Vida mi amigo!

Our host was wonderful  He had us rides whenever we needed them and scheduled us a chef that made us an amazing meal.  Great trip.  Close to the marina if you are fishing.

We had an absolute blast staying at this Airbnb. Our concierge Darien greeted us at check-in and showed us around, even going so far as to include some fresh fruits from his farm for us. When we accidentally locked our passports in the safe, he came by to bail us out as soon as possible. We truly did appreciate all his help! The Airbnb itself is huge and has a tremendous view. You might want to consider renting a car or a scooter as the walk up can be pretty tiring especially in the heat, but it's probably best that we sweated out all those extra calories from the many cervezas we were drinking. Thanks again for everything Darien. Pura vida!

This is such a beautiful place! We really enjoy the endless pool. Darien is a wonderful co-host. He helped us with ordering food, arranging guide and everything in between.

Really incredible stay. The house was spacious, clean, comfortable with great social spaces and amenities. the infinity pool and views were awesome. Proactive and clear communications throughout. Darien who helps manage the property was great, as well as greeting us and helping us settle in, he had so many great local recommendations and is a knowledgeable tour guide. Great experience.

What a fantastic experience!  My family and I have stayed all over the world using Airbnb and Matt’s home tops the list as one of the best we have ever rented.  Everything was perfect and couldn’t believe we secured this wonderful home at such a great price!  From the balcony that surrounds the 2nd floor that allowed us to watch the most amazing sunsets in the evening over the ocean to the spectacular sunrise in the morning over the Costa Rica mountains.  The entire home is air conditioned and as a bonus, each bedroom is equipped with it own air conditioner for personally preferred setting.  The home has a infinity pool overlooking the beautiful tropical green mountains which we used every day following a day of fantastic fishing. We enjoyed watching the many species of birds to include the colorful toucans and macaws.  If you’re looking for wonderful experience in Quepos, Costa Rica, we cannot give a higher recommendation for this property.  Absolutely awesome!

Very cool spot overlooking Quepos, with everything we needed for our week stay. Pool was super refreshing,relaxing, and always clean. The kids liked the changing color lights in the pool. The road up was as described, rough but attainable. We even used the steep climb for running a few days. Bedrooms all had a/c. Lots of room for the 8 of us. Living room was a little toasty in the early evenings, until some breeze rolled through. Laundry was a nice surprise, we probably didn't look into it prior to coming down. So much to do in the area, plus a ton of good restaurants within a short drive. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks for all the help Darien.

The place was amazing. The ocean view is breathtaking. The place is huge, clean and well distributed. Andres and Narsy received us with a basket of fruits and a nice smile. They also helped us find great tours to enjoy the town.

I can't say enough about my stay. The house was amazing and was perfect for my family. Everything was clean and well taken care of. It was a very safe location that's convenient to Manuel Antonio and Quepos. It's a very private location with beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. The infinity pool was the family favourite location. I appreciated the attentive concierge and will stay here again. Don't hesitate to book this house you will not be disappointed

My recent Airbnb stay was a symphony of perfection, all orchestrated by an extraordinary concierge. Darien is simple the best. From start to finish, his personalized care and meticulous attention to detail elevated every moment. They anticipated my needs, sharing local insights that enriched my experience. A surprise welcoming gift and swift resolution of a shower issue showcased their dedication. Dining recommendations were a culinary tour de force. This isn't just lodging; it's a masterpiece of hospitality that redefines travel. If you seek an Airbnb stay beyond compare, guided by an unmatched concierge, this is it. I am very grateful to Darien and the most amazing experience we had en La Casa Encanto. Close to everything.

This home was perfect for us, very clean and comfortable. Beds are comfortable which is very important for me. The pool area is in the first floor and the kitchen in the second so keep that in mind, you probably need to make a lot of trips up and down to grab stuff like we did. Although there are neighbors, it feels very private and quiet. You definetely need a 4x4 car to go up the hill to the house because its a stiff and rocky road, our car almost didn’t make it. Overall the host was very friendy and helpful, and we had cleaning service in between our stay which was very nice as well, definetely would recommend!
