We felt very good. A beautiful place.

Too nice and comfortable.

What a beautiful home! The inside was great. Decorated nicely and the kitchen had everything that we needed. But it was the back patio that did it for us. Beautiful infinity pool overlooking the jungle. We saw macaws, parrots, caracara’s, iguanas, and could hear the howler monkeys in the distance. Peaceful, beautiful and my family loved it.

It was amazing!! The villa has everything you need to have a great time and relax! In the afternoons, we saw monkeys! I highly recommend staying here!

I loved the place. I hope to be able to come back with the whole family.

Great place to stay

Was by far my favorite part of our trip, the house is absolutely beautiful. The pool was clean & a great cool off spot for us as we aren’t used to the humid weather yet. Everything was very clean and tidy. Close to many shops & restaurants. We felt very safe here & felt right at home. We plan to come back again!

This is hands down the best AirBnB I have had the chance to stay at. It has all amenities you will ever need and every single morning you wake up with the most beautiful view. Honestly if I could I would stay there forever in that little piece of paradise. We had a few obstacles in the beginning which where efficiently and easily fixed by our host the moment we informed him about it. Pura Vida ❤️

Had the most wonderful time here. It's a quirky property and we loved it. So spacious. Fantastic kitchen for cooking. Lovely cooling pool. Sitting out on the porch in a rocking chair watching the storms was beautiful. Absolutely no complaints!

Beautiful home in a great location. For a large group/family or guests who really want to spread out and have your own space, this place is perfect. One of the most well stocked Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in, they really thought of everything. The location can’t be beat, right in the heart of the jungle. There’s a huge tree in the road right in front of the house where we saw soooo many Scarlet Macaws fly into and roost for the night- maybe a top 5 experience in my entire life. Also saw squirrel monkeys (they didn’t visit the porch, sadly), toucans, agoutis etc, and we were only there for two nights! We had a slight snafu but it was handled quickly and professionally. Would highly recommend.

A fantastic accommodation with plenty of space and all the comforts. Of course, a beautiful pool and great views over the jungle. Unfortunately, no monkeys were seen there, but in the distance there were toucans and parrots flying overhead. For a night tour, you have to book Finca Salamandra. This is on private property with a route. It's two hours with a very knowledgeable guide who takes plenty of time for beautiful photos.

Excellent accommodation! Description as seen in the photos. Impeccable cleanliness. Very good location! I recommend the place. It's super spacious, and I felt at home.

This is real gem. We have travelled a lot and this is probably the nicest Airbnb we have stayed at. Everything was perfect, the views are stunning. Highly recommend this place. Only downside for us was that we didn’t stay long enough.

Loved our stay! The space was beautiful and clean, surrounded by nature, and the host was friendly and helpful. Only thing of note is that the apartment is up a long flight of stairs at the top of a very steep hill, and our truck struggled a little with the hill. Not unmanageable at all, but worth knowing, especially if you have issues with climbing stairs. But well worth it, if you're ok with that! Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent and very very clean place. Everything beautiful thank you.

The house and area surrounding it was beautiful. There was a waterfall close by and beaches were just a few minutes away by car. We definitely enjoyed ourselves. We saw lots of Iguanas, Scarlet Macaws, and Monkeys, all without leaving the property. We would stay here again if we returned to Quepos in the future.

I can’t say enough great things about this house. We felt so safe in a private gated community. We had so much wildlife come right to the house including two different species of monkeys that really put on a show for us. A coatimundis that grazed on the hill in front of the house for a few hours. The windows are fabulous all throughout the house which really made us feel like we had the full beauty of the jungle at all times including the beautiful bathroom. We really enjoyed the short hike to the waterfall on the property, it was way more than what we expected and a beautiful swimming hole with blue water. The creek runs along the house and could hear the beautiful sound but one night we had a lot of rain and the waterfall was flowing really good for two days which was even more enjoyable. The house was also well stocked and pool and patio cleaned every morning. Location was perfect. Close to the marina, shops, beaches, restaurants and Manuel Antonio but quiet and secluded.

Great stay in the jungle. Lovely atmosphere and clean house. Nice pool. Would stay again.

Great place. Loved it. Clean, tidy and with all the amenities. Modern and well appointed. Just like the photos

Very nice place, quiet, safe, well equipped, very friendly with the crib and baby chair. The excellent service is appreciated.

The place had an amazing view and had all the essentials you can possibly think making it feel like your own home. I really enjoyed my time here. However, it is very high so my recommendation bring a big car to go up the hill. The host was super attentive and responsive to every question i had.

A very beautiful place and an extremely comfortable and clean house. Very friendly host. I'll be back.

This villa in the Antonia manual estates was one of the highlights of our 15 day Costa Rica excursion The beds felt clean, brisk and was done with premium bedding. The pans are high quality and they even left some condiments available that one may need. I truly appreciate the daily outdoor cleaning service to the villa, the fresh floral arrangements and the gifted fruit basket. We highly recommend this spacious and beautiful home set inside a private residence with a 24 hour guardsman and lush well managed gardens. The area had great attractions, our favorite was the national park where we had monkeys trying to interact with us. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. This accommodation added so much value to our trip! Book it.

Everything great 10/10, highly recommended

Great place to stay. Close enough to everything in town yet secluded enough to be at peace. Pool was great to come back to at end of the day. And the sounds of howler monkeys was exciting. Would definitely come back! Pura Vida!

This house was a great location and absolutely stunning. The views from the pool are nothing short of amazing. The concierge service was incredible and very responsive. You will not be disappointed with this house!

The home is just as it's described. It's nestled back in the jungle, making it private and peaceful, yet close to Quepos. As a host myself, I was extremely impressed with the responsiveness of the host team. Everyone from the team, to security, and maintenance was friendly and always had a smile! The kitchen is very well equipped, the bathrooms are large and nicely appointed, and the beds are very comfortable. As other reviewers have noted- there is no aircon in the main area. You can easily remedy this by leaving both air conditioners on in the bedrooms and running all ceiling fans. The home is situated, like most homes, up a steep driveway. I had no issues getting up and down it, with 4x4; or a power walk, which is a great calf, quad, and glut workout🥰 Yes, packing practical shoes (not just cheap flip flops are advised) I had great traction with my chaco’s and even my OluKais(both outside by the pool and walking up the hill). Magica!! The home is amazing!

This house is stunning. The pictures do not do it justice. It’s in a great location, but is also quiet and private with million dollar views!

Beautiful accommodation. Lots of animals in the area. We were able to see macaws, monkeys, and lizards from the terrace!

Great place! Beautiful location and the pool was wonderful.

Apartment with all the comforts to make you feel at home. Clean, comfortable beds and good views. The monkeys welcomed us and we loved it. We used the laundry service and it was perfect, at a good price. The bus that goes to Manuel Antonio stops 200 meters away, which was great for us. We couldn't enjoy the pool because some tenants were vaping and listening to music, which bothered us quite a bit.

Our stay at the house was excellent. The place was very clean, tidy and well-equipped, which made the experience comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location turned out to be convenient and quiet, ideal for resting and enjoying the surroundings. The host was attentive and communicative, always available for any questions, which gave us a lot of confidence. Overall, it was a very pleasant and hassle-free experience. We're definitely going back. Thank you very much. The place was more than we expected.

Julio’s place was absolutely amazing every thing was perfect, really comfortable house, spacious but everything on the same level which was great, location in the middle of the jungle to allow us to observe wildlife in the best way you could ever imagine, you actually see more animals and wildlife sitting on the balcony or by the pool than visiting any of the national parks, we found the house equipped with everything you need so you feel like at home, we would definitely return when we next visit Quepos, thanks Julio for our great vacation!

Beautiful location

The home was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed for our family of 5. The beds were comfortable and we really enjoyed that there was a bathroom attached to each room. What really makes this home stand out is the pool and outdoor space and the breath taking view! The pool was warm and we spent a lot of time out there just taking in the beauty around us. The pictures don’t do it justice. The hosts were fantastic and helpful with recommendations and clear instructions as well. As others have said, the drive up the driveway is daunting but that’s the trade off you get for the view. This home would be better suited if you have a car. We did not rent one so we did have to hire taxis to go anywhere but they were readily available. Everything we wanted to do was close and a quick taxi ride. Would definitely recommend this home. We had a fantastic time! Thank you for hosting us!

It exceeded my expectations! The place is nicer than what you see in the photos It's a very cozy place, nice and full of vegetation. When the host found out that we were traveling with a baby, he left us a crib. What a nice touch!

The house is a dream; the view is phenomenal. We were completely overwhelmed. The kitchen is clean and very well equipped. A welcome with fresh fruits and coffee. You need a car to get there. It goes steeply uphill. The pool is beautiful and is also cleaned twice a week. The contact was very friendly and helpful. We can only highly recommend it to everyone!

I stayed here with my 3 teenagers for 5 nights. We all absolutely loved it. Everyone was welcoming, helpful and friendly. Our villa was comfortable, well stocked and we saw monkeys and iguanas every day. Our pool was cleaned daily for us and they put out 2 brand new hammocks for us that we enjoyed daily. The kind people in villa were so responsive with every request and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The hidden waterfall on the property was a favorite for my son. If we are ever fortunate to return to this area, we would absolutely stay here again.

Casa Heron is absolutely beautiful with stunning views. We saw monkeys, iguanas, lizards and birds from the house and had a coati come right up to us at the side of the pool. Julio was an excellent host. We had a very small issue (replacement batteries required for the AC) which Julio sorted out immediately. The only down side is the very steep hill up to the house which was slippy when wet. All in all we loved it here and didn’t want to leave.

Had a lovely stay at Villa Mot Mot! The house was very spacious, clean, well appointed, and the fresh fruit on the table was a nice surprise. each bedroom had air-conditioning and the beds were comfy. Having a washer dryer available was also very handy for our family. Julio checked in with us during the stay to make sure everything was as it should be. It was just our family and we had more than enough room, but there is also a long driveway and parking area if more were staying here. While relaxing in the pool, we saw all kinds of birds around. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would love to stay again!

The place was very clean with all the necessary conditions for a good weekend. It was well equipped. The view was spectacular. The pool was clean. The common areas were very spacious. The bedrooms were very nice. Everything was fine.

Casa Quetzal is wonderful. We loved every space in the house. It is very spacious, has a lot of privacy, and you can feel the tranquility everywhere. The pictures don't do it justice, since it's more beautiful in person. Don't hesitate to book your stay at this house. Thank you very much for all the attention. We loved the detail of the fruit basket they left us. We're not saying goodbye, but rather see you soon, because we will definitely be back. Pura Vida!

Highly recommend Careful parking

Our family enjoyed our stay in this beautiful villas! We loved the location so easy to get to all the main attractions and beaches but also felt very peaceful and out of the hustle of things. We saw so much wildlife sitting on the porch. Monkeys came by every night and was our absolute favorite part of the trip watching them play. The pool was refreshing. The unit itself was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The mattresses were a little more firm then my taste but such a small detail in an amazing place to stay!

Julio was great, very responsive and flexible. Loved the security and privacy of being within a gated community and the frequent visits from various species of monkeys was amazing.

Excellent location and just an awesome and comfortable house for our week long trip. Excellent communication with host and Julio was very helpful with recommendations throughout our stay.

Amazing stay and such a convenient location. Would not hesitate to book again if ever in Quepos. Great for a group and comfortable fit for 8 people. Super secure as well. Pura Vida.

We had a brilliant stay at Casa Colibri - the the view over the rainforest is amazing throughout and the layout is excellent, with shaded outdoor seating and the pool also getting some shade later in the day. Kitchen was very well kitted out making self catering very easy. All communication and tips for supermarkets and parking super helpful. We’d recommend!

This was a great place to base ourselves while we were exploring Quepos and Manuel Antonio. We heard many birds and even had a pair of Tucans come and visit us on the tree branches outside the living room window. It is a very cozy place with its two bedrooms and the living room is very comfortable. The pool was very nice to take a dip in after a busy day. The fruit and coffee that were provided were very nice. The one parking space is very difficult to get into and will put a test to your driving skills and relationship lol but we got it down after a couple tries. We enjoyed Raindrop Spa for a massage session, which was amazing and walkable within the same community. We would definitely stay here again. Be ready for some steep walking climbs if you’re going to be walking in and out of the community though, but the views were worth it!!

Very friendly and attentive. The place was super nice and comfortable.

Thanks a lot We enjoyed the pool and the restaurant suggestions, and the beach, thanks to the girl at the entrance, was perfect. I recommend it!

This spot was stunning, beds were comfortable, beware you have to walk up a large hill but weirdly loved it if you don’t have a car you walk. Clean home and better then pictures, pool amazing, Great kitchen and bbq! Highly recommend

Loved it! You won’t regret staying here. Amazing views of the Costarican mountains. Very spacious house Very comfortable beds, I had a great sleep To get there it’s quite a steep drive, but come on that part of being in Costa Rica, me personally I love it. If you can schedule this Airbnb for you and your family I would do it

Villa Mot Mot was much more than we expected. The photos don't do it justice! The house is nice, with all the amenities you need, and Julio was available at all times. We will return!

A very nice place, the pool, the nature, we saw monkeys around, everything for a very good family experience

This place was fabulous for my family of 4 (2 teens). Each kid had their own bedroom and bathroom. The property is beautiful and location is great with access to many different activities! We had a family of capuchins visit one evening, and there is a black spiny-tailed iguana that hides out in the backyard! Saw many other lizards and my Merlin app picked up numerous bird calls. Would definitely recommend this property!

Host, Julio, and Co-host, Viviana, were extremely responsive and kind. They answered all my questions and concerns and recommended much more thereafter for the surrounding areas such as restaurants and activities. Taxi service entering the secured gated community was very easy as well in which the taxis arrived within 5 mins or less upon request with the number provided by host/co-host. The one thing I will be aware of is that it is not quite walkable and the hills to the Airbnb were a bit steep. Requesting a car to this home and leaving the home is best. I would absolutely recommend staying in this beautiful and spacious home or any other property under Julio and Viviana!

Beautiful property in amazing location. Would not hesitate to recommend to others

Loved staying here. The only thing I would recommend is to wear mosquito bracelets at night because bugs do get into the home.

Lovely and very comfortable home. Nice for our family of four. The kids enjoyed the giant bathtub and being able to see monkeys frolicking from the living room windows. The property is right next to a bus stop which we took to easily access Manuel Antonio National Park. We’d happily return!

Great for relaxing Excellent location And the host is attentive to any questions 10/10

This place is heaven on Earth! I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a more beautiful place. We only got to enjoy it for one night but oh my goodness - perfection! Do not hesitate!!!

We loved our week at this beautiful home. The views were amazing! We loved the pool and the outdoor area, which we used every day. I especially loved seeing the scarlet macaws in the morning. The home was very clean and spacious. The hosts were very responsive. There is a beautiful waterfall just a short hike away, which we enjoyed. I cannot recommend this home enough!

Great location, convenient access to public transportation, ample restaurants and things to do all while providing a quiet, private neighborhood. The local wildlife was incredible, watching the monkeys play in the trees and hammock right outside our window made this an unforgettable stay.

This house was perfect. My favorite thing was to lie in the pool and just look up at all the tall trees and greenery. After 2 days I felt better and relaxed. The monkeys in the trees in the early evening were such a treat. At night we could hear a Howler monkey, so cool. I love to listen to birds and was delighted at all the exotic sounds the Merlin App picked up. The house is really comfortable with everything we needed, very clean. We loved watching the world cup games. The location is a perfect base to all the area has to offer. Appreciated the basket of fruit when we arrived. My husband and son walked to get pizza one night. Loved the open plan and spacious feel of the house. Appreciated being able to do laundry too. Cannot recommend enough, the host is super quick to respond and communicate.

Grate place to stay with friends or family

Fantastic place to stay near the park. We enjoyed it very much. My son wanted to stay longer!

The house is amazing, comfortable and spacious. I would come back many more times. We had a chance to see monkeys and woodpeckers right by the pool… quite a spectacle :) In my case, the only issue was the hill. Although it says so in the description, I think that upon arrival the difficulty can be a surprise for many, since it is full of moss and the car slips. Even going down on foot is dangerous. It really isn't for a novice driver. On the other hand, the blender didn't work. Everything else was impeccable :)

Excellent place. They know the standards of hospitality because everything was clean and had the right tools. Very eco-friendly and quiet. We were greeted with a basket of fruit and coffee. We are very grateful. 🌈💚

Out of all the places I stayed during my Costa Rica trip, this was my favorite! it had everything - pool, washer/dryer, AC, TV, seasonings for cooking, pool floaties. it was very clean upon arrival and had a great view of the mountains. we were also lucky enough to be visited by a few squirrel monkeys who passed by in the near trees! they were adorable.

Great!

The apartment is very good and located in a quiet area. Access to the pool is a plus. The kitchen is well equipped. Julio responds very quickly to our questions. Thanks for our stay

Great host, great location, a short drive to everything.

Superb air b and b - one of the best we have ever stayed in if not the best. Clean, stylish, amazing pool but the view was the star. You could not fault this place - literally amazing. Sad to leave - it’s a long flight for us but worth it for this place

Amazing and immersive experience. Didnt realize how big the place waas once we got there. Its very peaceful with the sounds of the wildlife at every minute. Worth the stay. Every day i felt we discivered something new. Highly reccommended

I had a wonderful stay. The condo was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The surrounding scenery was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone!

This was easily one of the best places I've ever stayed at. The view was impeccable (and totally private), the house was completely stocked with everything you could need, and the pool was amazing. I wish I could have stayed much longer!

We stayed for 3 nights as a family, and the stay in the house was simply exceptional. We enjoyed Playa Espadilla as well as a visit to Manuel Antonio Park. To avoid parking problems, we parked the car near the agency's reception (secure parking) and took the bus 150 m from the agency, which was convenient. The house was very well laid out and decorated; nothing was missing. And besides, in order to fully enjoy the accommodation and the pool, we chose to cook on site. But what a joy to enjoy such a view of the rainforest; you never get tired of it. A true haven of peace in the heart of nature.

Highly recommend! The accommodation was exceptionally clean and exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfectly maintained and we felt comfortable from the first moment. Definitely 5 stars for us – we would come back anytime!

The house was nice and very big. We saw monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds and other animals from the balcony and pool area. There are a lot of exterior doors (at least 6) including a bedroom with a sliding door right out to the pool deck, this was not a problem for our family but something to know if you’re traveling with small children. The pool was nice and although other houses were nearby it still felt private and in the middle of the jungle. The team was quick to respond to questions and was very helpful.

The property was beautiful and private. Our time here was the perfect end to our trip in Costa Rica.

Loved our stay at Casa Colibrí! The location was amazing, great sights and the house was well stocked for our vacation. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife on the property and having our morning coffee outside. Would definitely stay again!

We had an incredible stay at Manuel Antonio Estates! The property is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Waking up to the sounds of wildlife and seeing monkeys and tropical birds nearby made the experience even more special. The location was perfect—close to Manuel Antonio National Park, Quepos, great restaurants, beaches, and excursions, while still feeling private and relaxing. The home was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The host was welcoming, responsive, and made sure our stay went smoothly from beginning to end. If you’re looking for a place to experience the beauty of Costa Rica while enjoying comfort and convenience, we highly recommend staying here. We would absolutely come back. Thank you for making our trip so memorable! 🇨🇷🌴

The place was beautiful. We rented it last min for a spontanious trip & only were there for 16hrs. 3 bedrooms, 2 /private on suite bathrooms. I asked concierge to turn the a/c on about 20 mins before we arrived which I'm glad I did. Upstairs w/the kitchen, living & 3rd bedroom were still kinda warm. The spiral staircase was pretty but not my favorite thing so when I wanted to go downstairs to where the kids were & the other sitting area I used the outside staircase off the kitchen, much safer for me. The pool was nice, clean & cool. It is not heated & a bit difficult to get in the round part. The larger part was about 5ft deep & the round part still deep but not as deep. The staff were super friendly & spoke English extremely well. The community is gated with friendly security at the entrance to let you in & out. The shower water was hot & at least the upstairs bathroom sink had hot water too (I didn't use the other sinks). Many restaurants driveable. 5AM-HOWLER MONKEYS SAID WAKE-UP!

We had a wonderful stay at Julio’s place. It had a beautiful view, was close to Manuel Antonio sites, and came with great recommendations for restaurants and taxis.

Villa Mot Mot was a perfect holiday getaway at the edge of local town and the jungle. You felt very close to the nature and not too far from local services. Close to restaurants and mini-supermarkets. The private waterfall was unic and special. The steep elevation changes were introduced to us as new to Costa Rica, but that is nothing special in this area. We got used to it in no time. I can recommend. The monkeys were cute.

We are repeat guests and love staying at Julio’s properties. They are always clean and the team is very responsive. We are repeat guests for a reason!

Casa Macaw was wonderful. We were able to see a lot of iguanas, toucans and a family of monkeys on the hill in the distance. The home was so comfortable and a great location. We were close by everything in the area! Our hosts/ the staff were very friendly and responsive 😊 10/10 trip! If you have the chance to book this stay, do it! Pura Vida 🇨🇷🦜

We had a wonderful stay! Julio’s place is beautiful, and he was super helpful and responsive with local recommendations and helpful tips. The pool was nice to have and it was very convenient to get to all of our activities nearby. I would also recommend 4 wheel drive as the hill to the place is a little steep, but we didn’t have an issue with it. I would highly recommend staying here!
