6BR luxury villa in Manuel Antonio

Beach and Jungle House - Houses for Rent in Quepos, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Highly recommend this lovely home close to the beach and with excellent amenities. The hosts were super helpful in providing advice, recommendations for adventures, and an on-site chef for an amazing meal.

This was a wonderful place for our family of 13. The house is beautiful and well laid out with plenty of room. The views off the porch were so peaceful. Every morning, we enjoyed spotting wildlife while chatting and drinking coffee. The location was very convenient to everything in Manuel Antonio--restaurants, grocery stores and the park. Terry was very responsive to our needs.

What a gem of a place! The house is modern, spotless, and tucked right into the jungle—complete with monkeys swinging through the trees outside the balcony. The view is gorgeous, and the beds were super comfy. Terry and Esteban were fantastic hosts and very responsive. The walk down to the beach is steep, but the path is filled with beautiful flowers and tropical plants, and the beach at the bottom is clean and serene. We would absolutely stay here again.

The house is just like the photos, the rooms are very comfortable, and everything is super clean. The view from the house is beautiful. Very close to the house, there are beautiful beaches, and it's just a stone's throw from Manuel Antonio National Park. Lots of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Communication was very smooth with Terry and Esteban. We highly recommend the accommodation and would love to come back.

La casa es tal cual las fotos, los cuartos muy cómodos y todo súper limpio. La vista de la casa es hermosa. Muy cerca de la casa hay playas hermosas y a un paso del parque nacional Manuel Antonio. Muchos restaurantes y super mercados cerca. La comunicación fue muy fluida con terry y Esteban. Recomendamos mucho el alojamiento y nos encantaría volver.

Worth every penny!  Wonderful place!  The boogie boards were great to have.

Thanks Gail for the wonderful review. We enjoyed you and your group staying with us. I am so happy you had a wonderful time. Pura vida, Terry

We had the most amazing stay. Who needs Manuel Antonio when you can literally see all the animals at this house. We had 3 different species of monkeys come through daily, a sloth, macaws and a couple of toucans. The house had everything we needed. We hired the private chef for a dinner and I highly recommend her. The food was incredible and actually cheaper than us going out to dinner. The beach is a very short walk, but down a very steep hill. We actually paid $12 to park in the hotel parking lot so that our kids (all under 6) didn’t have to make the hike. Emanuel was very helpful with booking our excursions and answering any questions we had. Overall we had an incredible stay and we will definitely consider staying here again. The location cannot be beat!

Thanks for the great review and the recommendations. I am so glad you had a great time. Safe travels and hope to see you again.

Terry and Esteban were fantastic!  The house was beautiful in a beautiful place! 10/10 highly recommend!  Our entire family enjoyed the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review. I enjoyed your family and our conversations. You are a wonderful group and I hope to see you again in the future. Pura Vida, Terry

Casa Playa Y Selva is a Gem! The location is Spectacular and the view is unbelievably gorgeous. The house is spacious and airy with lots of patios, 2 pools, laundry… everything you could possibly need for your beach vacation! We loved meeting Terry and his Team were Fantastic! Esteban arranged our tours and was incredibly helpful. Karynne made us some of the most delicious breakfasts we’ve ever had! Our family was overjoyed with our stay and we hope to return.

Great house for a large family/group. Location was great, very close to the park entrance, we even walked back from the  national park the day we went. Seen more wildlife at the house sloths, monkeys etc than the National Park guided tour. Even though the steep climb back up the road, the proximity to the beach was great. Our family made the walk each day of our stay sometimes twice even though it was a short but steep climb back. 4 boogie boards the house had the kids in our group logged hours and hours on them. We hired the recommended chef twice during the week and she did a great job. The Concierge Esteban was great, helped set up transportation and a few tours for our group along with some great recommendations as he is from the area. Esteban was very responsive in anything needed. Only issue was a room on the main pool level the AC had issues and was leaking into the room which caused luggage to get wet on the floor and the armoire in the room had water damage and a mold smell.

We had a fantastic time staying at Casa Playa Y Selva. The size of the house, the location to the beach, the well stocked kitchen and the outdoor plunge pools were perfect. Also our consierre was very helpful in planning our stay. I would recommend this house to others coming to Manuel Antonio.

What a great place would definitely go back! Close to the beach and jungle vibes were amazing. Hard to leave anywhere when you have such a beautiful home with a beautiful pool to enjoy. And the chef was amazing so be sure to ask for Karynne. We came in August and it was perfect weather for us. Rainy but still had sunshine! The rain caught us on the way back from beach and it was a highlight of the trip! Shout out to the host with the most Esteban who made sure our itinerary stayed poppin!

Thanks for the great review. I am glad you had a wonderful time and we would love to have you back anytime. Pura Vida, Terry

The house is immaculate. Location incredible. Cannot beat the view, the wildlife, the sounds of the waves crashing and cicadas singing. Could not ask for a more peaceful location. Terry and Esteban are wonderful hosts, the chef makes great food. Just up the (steep) hill is a delicious spot for breakfast or dinner. Just down the (steep) hill is a lovely warm beach bar with great drinks and comfy chairs. The pool is small and not heated (sort of chilly during rainy season) but in the most incredible setting so who cares. Monkeys by the dozens parade past the balcony everyday, my family and I made core memories here. Would absolutely stay again. The internet didn’t work downstairs at all and spotty at best elsewhere. And construction next door was disruptive. But those things are not important because everything else was 10/10. 4 stars only because 4 of the rooms are downstairs and outside and that was not clear in the description. Not great for families with kids.

Terry, Joan and Esteban, were outstanding hosts.  We did not rent a car, but no problem they helped us get around and arranged great tours for us. Short, but steep walk to a lovely beach, bar and restaurants.  Will definitely stay there again. Thanks to all, Gary, Annette and family

Casa Playa y Selva is one of the best places we’ve ever stayed as a family. The home is beautifully designed with stunning ocean and jungle views from the kitchen island and numerous patios. But what truly set it apart was the hospitality. Terry offered to stock the kitchen before we arrived (so helpful after a late flight!) and was always available with great local tips. Esteban was incredible—he arranged tours (ziplining, chocolate/coffee, Manuel Antonio with an amazing guide), took care of transportation, and even brought in a massage therapist who gave one of the most relaxing massages I’ve ever had. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the location is walkable to restaurants, shops, the beach, and the park. Boogie boards were included too! If you’re traveling with very young kids, note that the bunk room door opens near the pool. Otherwise, it’s ideal for families or groups. Wildlife right outside the patio was a daily treat. We can’t wait to come back!

Thanks Sandra for the wonderful review. I appreciate your recommendations. We are already working on some of them. Hope to see your group again. Pura Vida

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Playa y Selva. The house was amazing—beautiful, modern, spacious, clean, had great views and a short walk to the beach. The beds were comfortable, and the a/c’s and fans worked great. We enjoyed the local wildlife in the trees around the property-monkeys, sloth, birds, frogs, iguanas, and crabs. Terry and Esteban were so friendly, helpful, and easy to work with, and every recommended activity we did with their concierge service our family rated 5 stars.  We also used Karinne, their on-site private chef, for some dinners and breakfasts. Her food was amazing, and definitely cheaper than local restaurants. Highly recommend!!!

Our stay at Casa Playa y Selva was nothing short of perfect! We rented the house for our whole family for our wedding. Terry and Joan are excellent hosts that helped with all of our wedding details (cake, flowers, alcohol, dinner) and Esteban seamlessly set up all of our transportation and excursions! We also had Karinne cook for us on two nights and the food was absolutely delicious! We got married right on the beach down the hill in a beautiful ceremony and came back to the house for a fabulous dinner by Karinne. It was our dream wedding! The house is absolutely stunning - the online photos don’t do it justice! It was perfectly clean and comfortable for our group. Each room has a private bathroom, which was such a game changer, and the pools are also wonderful. We saw so much wildlife at the house (agoutis, sloths, toucans, macaws, and two types of monkeys). Thank you Terry, Joan and Esteban for an amazing stay and for helping make our wedding day everything we have dreamed of!

This place is absolutely beautiful! We had a great time in the jungle. The monkeys made their presence known and it was so cool. The concierge was SO helpful when it came to helping us with transportation and booking things for our group. We had such a wonderful time. I would absolutely recommend this place!

Thanks for the great review. I hope you had a safe trip home. We enjoyed you staying with us. Come see us again if you are back in Costa Rica. Pura Vida, Terry

1) Amazing property; 2) excellent host + concierge; 3) fantastic, talented chef! Property is every bit as beautiful as the photos and the whole “team” provides an A+ experience!

We LOVED our time at Casa Playa y Selva. The location in the jungle with gorgeous beach views was perfect. The pools were one of our favorite places to take in the wildlife and relax. Daily visits from monkeys in addition to lizards, macaws, toucans, agouti, and even an anteater were a highlight The bedrooms were private and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped. We used Chef Karinne twice and would highly recommend this treat! Estephan handled the logistics of our transportation, grocery delivery, and excursions. The ADR 10 in 1 was awesome for teenagers and adults. We also enjoyed the ATV tour and the tour of the park with Mop. La Terraza is a new restaurant within walking distance and we enjoyed breakfast with a view. We highly recommend this house and Terry is an amazing host. We can’t wait to go back and we just got home yesterday.

Thank you for the wonderful review. I am so glad you had such a great time. It was nice meeting your family. I hope to see you at a later date. Let me know if I can help in any way. Pura Vida, Terry

This is absolutely the most perfect place to stay in the Manuel Antonio area! Terry’s place is just as pictured and described and the set up is wonderful for a group. We stayed as a group of 13, ages 6 to 60’s and this home had plenty of space for everyone. We especially loved the fact that each bedroom had its own bathroom… no need to share or take turns! The outdoor spaces are so wonderful here. There are balconies galore and so many opportunities for wildlife spotting. We enjoyed watching monkeys, macaws, toucans and more. The pool is large with plenty of seating. Terry and the house concierge Esteban were fantastic hosts. Esteban arranged all our reservations and transfers which was so helpful. We enjoyed dinner by Chef Karinne in the home twice during our stay it was fantastic! Terry was so friendly and even went out of his way to give us a ride to our spa appt when our taxi didn’t show. Thanks for a wonderful trip and a stay that represents Pura Vida to the fullest

We had some fantastic days in a wonderful environment both by the house and on the nearby beach. We were a family 2-75 years old and the house suited us perfectly. A little challenging, however, for the youngest. We hope to come back in two years when we have the next celebration

Vi hade några fantastiska dagar i en underbar omgivning både vid huset och på den närliggande stranden. Vi var en familj 2-75 år och huset passade oss perfekt. Lite utmanande dock för de yngsta. Vi hoppas kunna komma tillbaka om två när vi har nästa celebration

Thank you for the wonderful review. I hope to see you again. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Pura Vida, Terry

We booked Casa Playa y Selva one year in advance prior to it being finished. We knew it was a special place after several visits to the Manuel Antonio area over the last few years. If this place is available on your dates of travel book it now! This was the perfect setting for our group of 6 couples. The views, access to the beach, wildlife, food, communication from the owner and caretaker were all top notch. Here’s our list of musts while in the area! Food: La Terraza, Ronnie’s Place, De La Finca Activities: Rainmaker, Nuayaca, ATV tour (coordinate through Esteban) BOGO drinks on the beach 1pm to 6pm Karahe Hotel/Resort I brought this group together and none had ever been to Costa Rica and their main complaint was that now all future vacations are ruined because they doubt any will compare to this trip.

The pictures do not do this place justice. This was literally the most beautiful home I have ever stayed in in the most insanely gorgeous location. There was more than enough room for our group of 11 adults. Esteban really took this trip to the next level with his help in coordinating our excursions, transportation, cleaning service and the private chef. We did a private fishing charter, ATV tour, and sunset catamaran cruise. The best part (in my opinion) was sitting in the pool and watching the wildlife in the area, especially the monkeys. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores in the area so we needed for nothing during our stay. I can’t wait to book again.

Casa Playa y Selva was the best vacation spot I have ever experienced in this country. I am Costa Rican and a tough critic, and the house was a dream come true. It was the perfect combination of private and accessible. Everyone in our group got what they wanted- some of us are adventurers and others wanted to lay by the pool all day. The host and staff were professional, friendly, and made our 12 person vacation an absolute delight. We alternated between cooking in the well-stocked kitchen and enjoying the local and closest restaurant, La Terraza.  We saw more wildlife at the backyard than we did on the ecological tours. So grateful, a real treasure.

Thank you so much for your fantastic review. Hope to see you again if you are in the area. You and your group are always welcome. Pura Vida, Terry

Book Terrys place - you won’t regret it! Every morning we sat on the deck and had coffee and watched the monkeys play. The view of the beach is breathtaking, especially at sunset. Esteban was helpful with all of our needs - booked our excursions and even had groceries delivered for us so we’d have food when we arrived! Everything from start to finish was perfect!

Wow! What can I say? What an amazing place to bring my whole family (14 of us from 18 months to 70 year olds) together for a week! The space was beautiful! every activity that was arranged by our concierge was spot on and amazingly fun (surfing, waterfalls, guided national park tour, and he even came especially to show us where we could see a sloth crossing over the road).  And the in-house cooking class/dinner was beyond any expectations. Course after course after course and we were encouraged to participate!  One of the highlights for me was the daily time spent together as a family in the swimming pool, laughing and playing after spending time on the beach. The response I’m getting from my family is that it may be the best vacation they’ve ever had!

I booked this house back when it was still under construction seeing the potential it had. We were in Manuel Antonio for my wedding and the house did not disappoint one bit. My wife and I family felt like we were in a movie with the views and animals coming all around us. Perfect space for a large group and Terry offered many services even though we declined due to preplanned events. Highly recommend for anyone going to Manuel Antonio. Small con but we were flex with it, limited parking so be ready to shuffle vehicles. Other than that the place was unreal and we would 100% be back for a family reunion in the future.

I am thrilled you had such a great time. We hope you come back and see us again. I am glad you were able to get all 6 cars in the drive even though you had to move some around. We had never had that many before. Thanks again, Pura Vida

We loved staying here! The home was in great condition and the views were to die for. Not only is the view of the ocean breathtaking, you can sit on the porches and watch monkeys (lots!), macaws, iguanas, and a sloth or two! We loved the easy beach access. It is a fairly steep hill, but most everything around there involves a hill. We walked to several restaurants from the house…again, a bit of a climb but coming home is easy! If walking isn’t your thing, it is very easy to get a taxi to take you anywhere. Esteban coordinated everything for us and did a fantastic job. Communication was great! We would definitely recommend having the chef come prepare at least one meal at the house (we used her twice and hands down the best 2 meals of the trip!). Her food is delicious…she went above and beyond to make our Thanksgiving meal more than we could’ve ever imagined. Her team was fantastic and left the kitchen spotless! We would definitely stay here again. No one was ready to leave!

Thanks so much Allison for the wonderful review. Kary said she enjoyed cooking for your family. She had looked forward to making the Thanksgiving meal. Since they don't celebrate Thanksgiving It was a first. Your Family was a joy to have and I recommend you to everyone. Please come back and see us. Pura Vida, Terry

This house was beautiful, well-appointed and had great amenities.  We were a three-generation group of 12 and the house was perfect for our group.  We loved the pool, the wildlife and the fact that all of the grandkids had their own bed.  It was great to have the beach within easy walking distance.  There are some great restaurants in the area as well.  Our concierge, Esteban was wonderful.  He was very helpful and responsive to our needs.  Due to the weather conditions, he worked to rearrange our excursions and provide us with useful information regarding changing travel conditions.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I have never seen weather like that there before. I am glad you enjoyed your trip and had a safe trip home. We hope to see you again sometime and will try to order better weather. Your family was wonderful and very considerate. Thanks again for staying with us. Pura Vida, Terry

This house is absolutely beautiful we had a great time it’s an awesome place hope to stay again

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The host was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities we could ask for. The location was perfect, close to great restaurants and attractions. We highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay in the area. We can't wait to come back!

Thanks Arshad for the wonderful review. Esteban and Kary said the house was kept in very clean condition and they couldn't ask for better guests. Hope you had a safe trip home and hope to see you in the future. Pura Vida, Terry

We had a wonderful stay. The house has a gorgeous view of the ocean and we saw amazing wildlife right from the patio (monkeys, iguanas, toucans.) Esteban was very helpful and worked hard to get water to the house when a main pipe was shut off for a few days. We did the private chef and it was amazing food and worth the price. The beach is within walking distance but it is quite steep. There are a few restaurants in walking distance but a car is helpful. Our group had 5 kids under 4 and the main pool was great (although 4 of the bedrooms open to the pool so we had to coordinate sleeping arrangements to make sure no sleepy toddlers wandered too far.) Overall, great stay!

Thank you so much for your honest review. You are first review that was not 5 star. I understand due the city having the water turned off for 18 hrs over night this created problems. We have since completed the installation of the 500 gallon reserve tank to take care of this problem in the future. I am glad you enjoyed Costa Rica and the surrounding area. Pura Vida, Terry

Everything about our experience was incredible! The home is absolutely gorgeous! The host and his staff were so friendly and helpful. Esteban assisted with booking excursions and made wonderful recommendations. He also came over within the hour to drop off water for us when the entire area lost water temporarily. Kary and her daughter Shanick cooked two delicious dinners for us while we were there (highly recommend)! There’s also regular housekeeping that takes place. The pictures truly don’t do it justice! Monkeys up in the trees, an amazing view of the ocean from the balconies, cool & clean pools, comfortable bedding, and a spacious well-stocked kitchen. The beach is a short, but somewhat steep, walk. We saw three sloths up in the beach almond trees right above the beach entrance. The beach was so beautiful! Clear water, fun waves and lots of activities offered right there (horseback riding, surfing lessons, etc.). If/when we return to Costa Rica, we will definitely return here!!

Hi Tosha, I just realized my reply did not come through. I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your stay. We have since installed a 500 gallon water tank to take care of the water situation. Esteban and Kary said they really enjoyed meeting and getting to know your family. We would look forward to seeing you again any time. Thanks again for staying with us. Pura Vida, Terry

Great House with ocean view.  Short walk to beautiful beach & restaurants, could spend entire trip there.  Excellent guided trip recommendations by Esteban and his wife cooked wonderful meals for us each evening.  House is kept spotless with plenty of room and two very nice pools.

Thanks Ryan for the review. I am happy to hear you had a great time. I will tell Esteban and Karyn how much you appreciate them. I think that is what puts our place above others. Hope to see you again and enjoy your travels. Pura Vida, Terry

What a beautiful villa, the views are breathtaking! The house is brand new and the pictures don’t do it justice, it’s spectacular! Howler monkeys can be seen on a daily basis but keep their distance. Beautiful kitchen that’s very well equipped and spacious living space. Beautiful rustic beach that is a steep but close walk away, great fun in the waves and locals are around if you want to buy things but far from overbearing, in fact very friendly. Esteban, the concierge is great and super responsive, came to meet us on his motorbike as the villa can be tricky to first locate. Had some great meals and drinks at restaurants close by. Would definitely return.

Thanks so much Greg. I am so glad you had a good time. Pura Vida

We enjoyed the place and around to the fullest. The house have that minimalistic style that make it a peaceful place to stay. Kids and adults had fun. The day of our arrival we had 3 of us celebrating a birthday. Esteban our cohost made arrangements with our Chef to get a cake and cook for us that night and breakfast next morning. Her food was great. (Ask first about her services) Esteban went above and beyond checking on us often, booking tours and giving us the best recommendations. The beach is nice. There is a lot of things to do. We saw a lot of animals around, monkeys, toucans, the howler monkeys woke us up sometimes, no need of alarm. We had a supermarket close with affordable prices, but also Esteban can make arrangements to order groceries. We did Waterfall tour, zip line, Manuel Antonio Park, Mangrove tour, chocolate tour, ride horses, raindrop spa, lots of time at the beach which is just about 5 minutes from the house. If I could come back I will come back here. Pura vida

We checked out of Terry’s beachside house today and the entire family commented that “I never want to leave” Not only was the house exactly as described in the listings and photos, but Esteban and Kary are unspoken hero’s that make your stay incredible. Esteban helped us plan everything from rental car and excursions, to dining reservations. Kary is an incredible chef and some of our best meals were had right in the beautiful dining room looking out onto Antonio Manuel beach bay. Thank you Terry, great vacation for our entire family.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We enjoyed you staying with us. We are very fortunate to have Esteban and Karin as part of our operation. Have safe travels. Costa Rica is truly a wonderful place. Pura Vida, Terry

Extraordinary!  This modern accommodation gave us comfort to our group of 15,  the place is  better than as shown in the photographs! Its views  are spectacular, its very comfortable and spacious spaces, very close to the beach, restaurants and Manuel Antonio Park.  The host was very collaborative since we contacted him, evacuating all our inquiries in a timely manner.  Thank you for all the attention!

Extraordinaria!  Este moderno alojamiento nos brindó comodidad a nuestro grupo de 15 personas,  el lugar es  mejor que como se muestra en las fotografías! Sus vistas  son espectaculares, sus espacios muy cómodos y amplios, muy cerca de la playa, restaurantes y el Parque Manuel Antonio.  El anfitrión fue muy colaborador desde que lo contactamos, evacuando todas nuestras consultas oportunamente.  Gracias por todas las atenciones!

Our family of 11 had an incredible 4-night stay at Casa Playa y Selva in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Terry's home is not just beautiful with its breathtaking water views and easy beach access, but it’s also perfectly designed for large groups, boasting plenty of bathrooms and a wonderful pool area. Esteban, our concierge, was instrumental in making our stay memorable by expertly organizing a variety of activities that catered to our diverse interests. The meals prepared by Karinae and her daughter were highlights of our stay, with their grilled steak, fresh tuna, and hearty breakfasts standing out as particularly delicious. Casa Playa y Selva offered us a blend of comfort, luxury, and adventure, making our vacation truly unforgettable. A huge thanks to Terry, Esteban, and Karinae for their hospitality. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio and look forward to our next visit

Amazing view, amazing people, amazing host. Concierge, Estaphan, was equally responsive as our host. He was a wealth of information about local tours and places to see, restaurants to try. Frankly, no restaurant matched the quality of his wife, Corinne's, culinary expertise. She supplied two typical Costa Rican dinners and a lunch for all eleven of us for a reasonable cost. Terry, Estaphan, and Corinne are quite a spectacular team. Estaphan arranged sights and tours that were enticing and educational, what we asked for. The recently constructed home amply and comfortably fit all eleven of us ranging from 6 y.o. to 78 y.o., allowing privacy when needed and a huge space for all of us to eat, play, and converse. The instantaneous responses to questions was remarkable, either through calls, messages, or in person. The house is amply supplied with kitchen equipment. We were thrilled and are already planning another trip to Costa Rica.

Thank you so much. Can’t wait to see you guys again if you return. Pura Vida, Terry

Terry was super kind and helped us with everything even arranging rides to and from the airport. The location and view is amazing. A short walk to the beach and wildlife right outside the windows. Terry was able and willing to accommodate all requests. Beautiful build and great for a larger group or big family. Will be staying here again!
