A nice place, the only thing is that it’s a little hard to find and that we had no water. :(

I had booked the Ocean view family suite with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. When we got to the property we were given a much smaller 1+1 studio for 3 persons. Their argument was that after the booking was updated from 1 guest (per my original booking) to 3 guests, that suite was no longer available. (Note here that the change made through the app was accepted by Javier). Some arguments ensued with the family, Javier not making himself available to discuss, where the family attempted to thrust the blame on us for making a change. Bottom line is I paid for one listing in full and was offered a completely different and sub-par room in return. I called airbnb and had them cancel the reservation and issue a full refund to me. It was evening time after a long day of traveling and we had to find a hotel at short notice in the area as well as finding an alternative airbnb stay for the rest of our vacation which was a major inconvenience. Do not book this property.

Wonderful place! My family and I love the space! Amazing and comforting days! The beach view is amazing. The place is extremely clean and Javier always responded quickly to messages! His mother( Rocio) received us and was extremely kind, offered us a spinning bike to use on the local balcony! I highly recommend the location!

excellent place, with breathtaking views. The best place in Quepos. The only detail is the path that has a lot of loose stone and is a little hard to climb.

We had an excellent stay! Very close to beautiful places like Manuel antonio and with good restaurants in its surroundings, also the connection to nature was incredible. We'll definitely be back 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A very beautiful house, the spectacular view, the exact house in the description, they attended us wonderfully, certainly 100% recommended, we had a great time with the family, access is not so complicated, but if I recommend a tall car, although not exactly double, my car is tall but simple and had no problem

Beautiful view from the top deck where our place was. We didn’t realize it had multiple units but it was quiet. Main room doesn’t have a/c but it goes in from a bedroom with a fan. We cooked often and it stayed cool. Thank you!! Hope to be back again to beautiful Costa Rica!

Very good stay, according to what was offered in the publication and the host was very helpful. There is still a vehicle resisting the slope to access the home

Javier was very quick to communicate and allowed us to stay a bit longer to check out. Location was incredible and balcony view was stunning.

If you want an Airbnb that’s considered high standard, this is definitely the one! Location, view and overall experience couldn’t be any better for a first trip to Quepos! The wildlife pop up at all times of the day! You couldn’t say after your visit you didn’t encounter some form of wildlife nearby. Javier is very communicative in terms of requests and information about the area, including Manuel Antonio! I highly recommend if renting a vehicle, to have a 4x4 vehicle as some parts going up and downhill proved quite strenuous for some taxi drivers we requested.

Wonderful view from atop the hill. Nice balcony and private. Javier and Michelle were gracious and responsive hosts. The common areas can be quite warm however all of the rooms have A/C. Keeping the A/C on and leaving the doors open will generally cool off the living room. The A/C in one bedroom was out of order the first night we stayed but Javier was quick to get it fixed for our second night and was very responsive. The place has good bones and some of the amenities can be improved and updated. Some additional cleaning would also be helpful.

Perched high above Quepos on a hillside with beautiful views of the ocean, treetops and town. Great birdwatching and sunset, 4x4 recommended, the road is a bit rough getting up there. The apartment is large, clean and spacious. However, only the bedrooms have A/C, which do not cool off the kitchen and living room area well. Upon our arrival non of the units were on so it was extremely hot. Also, on our stay one of the A/C units was not working, they did provide two oscillating fans, which helped. I don’t think we would stay here again.

Nice place to stay, high above Quepos with a beautiful view. If you like birdwatching, there’s lots of action the first couple of hours after sunrise. Bit of a rough gravel road to get up there, but it’s not really a problem. Easy access to the Manuel Antonio road. Felt secure, neighbors are friendly and helpful. Got hot in the daytime, but if you leave the bedroom ACs on they will cool the apartment pretty well. Would stay here again.

This is a very nice little mixture of Air BnBs and residents in a very unique location with spectacular views and bird watching. We were able to view up close more birds here than we saw in Manual Antonio State Park. The hosts are very friendly and stay on the property and are close for anything you may need. I would recommend staying here and would stay here again.

Very spacious listing and affordable pricing. The views were stunning! The apartment was the perfect place to retire to after a day hiking or being at the beaches. Javier was quick to respond to any concerns and remedied any issues immediately.

Great place and a great host! The house is way up in the hill although the instructions were clear to get there. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the house including the sunset. House had everything we needed and Javier and his cousin were always available and responded quickly when we needed something. Highly recommend their place and would certainly return.

We really enjoyed our stay at Javier's place. The view from this unit was amazing, and we enjoyed the balcony. We got to see macaws flying. It was well-equipped, quiet, peaceful, and clean. The only downside was that the location was up a very steep hill. We were able to navigate it fine without a 4x4 vehicle. However, most of the tour companies which provided transportation would not access this road, so this is something to keep in mind. The bedrooms each are equipped with an air conditioning unit, but it does not cool off the main part of the house that well. If you want to do laundry, they do charge $20/load, although they will wash it for you. Overall, we had a great stay and recommend this place.

The place has a spectacular view and the hosts are super friendly, they helped me with information about the park and access to the house. Downtown Manuel Antonio is about 10 minutes away, so it's very central. Highly recommended!

Very pleasant stay at Javier's, the apartment is located on the first floor with no neighbors for now before the end of the construction of the neighboring bungalow Very nice apartment matches the photos and superb views of quepos and the ocean, a little far if you want to get back to the city on foot. Fully-equipped kitchen allows groceries and cook directly on site We recommend for a group of 4/6.

Great location, full floor for yourself, amazing view of rainforest and ocean, i saw many tiny monkeys ( hard to spot otherwise anywhere), many birds like Macaws, native Parrots etc. The place itself is pretty spacious. Beds are big (king size) and great height. One of the best part was the view from balcony in the night, I could do a small stargazing due to super dark sky. Javier was super helpful during our whole stay. He even allow us some time extension and recommended when we were vising national antonio park. Be aware this place is on first floor walkup, which did not matter to any of us being young.

Apartment was perfect for what we were looking for, yes it is up a big hill but taxis are easy to find if you do not want to walk up. Amazing spot for sunsets and to escape the hustle and bustle. Easy access to buses, mini supers and downtown Quepos

Location was nice and great overview of Quepos. Make sure to take a taxi/Uber to the room since the road is steep and lots of gravel.

I’m glad I rented 4WD truck, otherwise it would be impossible to get to the location. Once arrived to the place it wasn’t clear how to get keys for the apartment. The apartment itself is great and has amazing view.
