5BR villa in Manuel Antonio

Hilltop Villa | 270° Ocean Views + Private Pool - Houses for Rent in Quepos, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

OMG this stay exceeded our expectations by far!!! I knew it was ocean view but didn’t expect to also be able to hear it!!!  I loved the peacefulness this place had and nothing bad to say because the property is simply stunning!!! We were a big group and this had more than enough space and bathrooms for all of us AMAZING VIEW BEAUTIFUL HOME 🫶🏼 thank you for making our CR stay an amazing one!!!

Million dollar view and then some. It’s more beautiful than the photos and an unforgettable place. Monkeys visited, macaws and toucans flew by, it was magical. As stated- be aware there are many, many stairs. This would not be a good choice for toddlers or folks with mobility limitations.

Thank you, Anna. Let us know when you would like to come back to paradise.

We loved our stay at this beautiful house! Communication with David and Fernando was great and our Chef meals were a highlight of the trip! Our only issue was that we had 2 toddlers and the house has tons of stairs without railings that made it challenging to move around the house. Also as you are essentially in Manuel Antonio park, the animals are intense. We saw monkeys (which come after your food) and a sloth everyday, but if you leave any crumbs on the floor the ants and spiders come in like a minute. Luckily they included daily cleaning or this would have gotten out of hand! Overall great stay but I may have chosen a different house for young kids.

Amazing experience! Wonderful home with beautiful views! The team is superb. Everything was very clean and organized. When an issue arose it was fixed swiftly! Chef Marco was the hit of the trip! Great guy and AMAZING food. Out of this world. Added so much to the trip.

Casa Samba was everything and some. We arrived at night and had a look around the beautiful home. Tired from our travels we decided to get some rest and get an early start the following day. And was that the right decision… we woke up to an absolute breathtaking view with howler monkeys at the top of the tree tops alarming the suns coming up, and white faced capuchin monkeys on the game room patio. It was like we were still dreaming. I’d highly recommend Casa Samba as you are in a safe gated community with breathtaking wildlife and views. (We saw all three monkeys from our patio, iguanas, 1 sloth, hummingbirds, and a few other critters.) definitely will be booking another trip in the near future.

Thank you guys! You made a memorable vacation 💓

The place has a great location and is secluded in the hills, with plenty of wildlife at your window.

The house is big and comfortable, great view and very clean.  There are a lot of stairs to get to the house and inside the house.

This house is just like photos and we enjoyed every minute there. The pool looks small but it was the absolutely perfect size for our family that included 6 adults and 2 little ones.  The common spaces were so comfortable and inviting. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and to gather together. We just loved it!!

We enjoyed Casa Samba very much and had the most wonderful Christmas week.  The house comfortably fit our group of 10 (really could easily have slept 12).  Each bedroom has its own bathroom so we all had plenty of privacy.  Each level of the house provides a different view of the dense jungle around the home, with lots of monkeys visiting every day.  We saw tons of wildlife (more than we did in the National Park; in fact, we decided we would skip the park visit next time).  We saw tons of colorful birds including toucans and other beautiful species. The pool is larger than it looks on the pictures and has a nice shallow ledge for lounging.  The rooms are spacious and all have A/C which is really great.  The beach is a quick 7 min drive and we recommend taking the advice from the host to use Mary's rentals area where you can park your car and get a lounger set up for you with umbrella daily ($10 pp).  From there you can walk to town and get lunch or have lunch delivered to your lounge chair all day long.  Highly recommend Agua Azul restaurant at the top of hill walking distance from the house.  Very friendly and amazing food and good fish specials.  We chose to have the chef services for 5 nights which were recommended by the host and that was a great decision.  Our chef Vladimir was really nice and made delicious food and did all the shopping and cooking and clean up.  Probably saved money in the end as we were able to use leftovers and make our own cocktails instead of paying restaurant prices every night.  Overall, we LOVED this house and will recommend to all of our friends.

Everything was amazing! We were able to experience the wildlife from our home without compromising luxury.  Could not be more pleased!

The villa is very well located and allows easy access to  many activities. The views are breathtaking. The villa is very well equipped and the daily housekeeping and linen services are much appreciated and done with great discretion. The house is located in an estate guarded by a security service day and night. Its location in the middle of lush vegetation allows you to discover surprising wildlife. The capucins, iguanas, howler monkeys... are sure to visit us regularly without danger. We will keep a great memory of our time. We were 10 people and the house was ideally designed for that number of people.

La villa est très bien placée et permet un accès facile à de  nombreuses activités. La vue est époustouflante. La villa est très bien équipée et les services ménage et lingerie quotidiens sont très appréciés et faits avec une grande discrétion. La maison est située dans un domaine gardé par un service sécurité jour et nuit. Sa situation au milieu d’une végétation luxuriante permet de découvrir une faune surprenante. Les capucins, iguanes, singes hurleurs.... ne manquent pas de nous rendre visite régulièrement sans danger. Nous garderons un excellent souvenir de notre passage. Nous étions 10 personnes et la maison était conçue idéalement pour ce nombre de personnes.

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at Fernando's place! There was plenty of room to fit everyone very comfortably and the home is absolutely stunning! The monkeys on the porch really made our trip as well! It felt like we were actually in the jungle! We would come back again in a heartbeat!

Casa Samba made our vacation an unforgettable experience. The view and infrastructure of the property was great. Great location and host Gary service is great.

Casa Samba hizo de nuestras vacaciones una experiencia inolvidable. La vista y la infraestructura de la propiedad fue genial. La ubicación excelente y el servicio del anfitrión Gary súper bien.

This home might as well be embedded within the Manuel Antonio National Park. We saw more of Costa Rica's Animal Kingdom just sitting on the decks of this home then we did during our guided tours of various parts of Costa Rica. It is a comfortable home well-equipped and offering as good a view of the Pacific and Manuel Antonio National Park as one could expect.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Samba.  Fernando, Gary, Valerie and Roxy did a fantastic job. Excellent communications and quick to respond to our needs.  The house is amazing with spectacular views of the ocean and jungle.  You get a completely difference experience from each of the three levels.   As a landscape architect, I can attest that the setting/grounds are spectacular. There are other houses around but we felt very secluded and private, sitting high above the others.  Having a view of Manuel Antonio Park and being on the monkey park was quite an experience.  Every day we were greeted by cute Spider Monkeys and the infamous Capuchins (watch your stuff, lol).  Howler monkeys and Sloths were also easily observed from the house.  The morning cries of the Howler will send a chill down your spine the first time you hear it. On the top floor, we were practically eye level with them and we also observed flocks of Parakeets, Toucans and other tropical birds flying above the jungle canopy..  The village of Manuel Antonio is just a short walk up the hill where there were excellent restaurants and convenience/grocery stores available. We walked everywhere, even to a small beach (that was a bit of a hike due to the hills).   We hope to return soon.
