Great communication and very nice host and house cleaner. House was clean, had beautiful views, and watching sunset from the Infiniti pool was an added benefit!

My family, including our 9-year-old twins, had a wonderful 5-night stay here. We loved watching monkeys and scarlet macaws from the lanai, enjoyed time in the pool, and cooked lots of meals in the well-equipped kitchen. We were really happy with the location and ate lots of good meals out in Quepos and also had easy access to the park. Vanessa suggested a great guide, and both she and Kent were helpful before and during our stay. Highly recommend this beautiful place!

The place itself was great—clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the amenities and overall atmosphere. The host was good as well. The main challenge was the location and road access. The road leading up to the property is very rough and bumpy, with much of it unpaved. Because of the road conditions, some drivers canceled our rides, and the drivers who did accept often struggled to make it up the hill. This is something future guests should be aware of, especially if they plan to rely on ride-sharing services or are not driving a vehicle suited for rough roads. Overall, the property was nice, but the difficult road access had a significant impact on our experience.

Place was conveniently located and a short drive to all the restaurant and Manuel Antonio park. Google maps showed the location correctly. I would recommend the airbnb

Modern, beautiful and clean apartment  with great views of the surrounding nature. We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The pool was an added bonus after a day of exploring. Kent, our host, was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend !!!

It was a beautiful spit and very tranquil. We had beautiful sunsets and great excursions. Kent was easy to reach and responsive to all our questions. We also appreciated all the communication with our concierge, Vanessa. Merci!

Amazing stay at Kent in Manuel Antonio. The apartment overlooks everything, and the sunsets from the balcony were absolutely stunning. Truly unforgettable.

The apartment is located on a private type of road and once you enter the place, you feel right in nature with an amazing pool and views. The apartment is very clean and the pool and area is serviced. Loved staying there and seeing so many animals. The only one thing to be aware is the road to get to the place is very bumpy and only one lane. Make sure you follow the exact instructions and voila, you have arrived.

We had a great stay here and would definitely recommend it. The view was unreal—easily one of the highlights of the trip. The place had everything we needed, and the pool was such a nice spot to chill after a day out. One of the best parts was the setting. You’re right in the middle of nature, and hearing all the wildlife (especially in the morning and evening) made it feel really special. Super peaceful, but still close enough to everything. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Would absolutely come back and recommend it to others.

The place was exactly as described, and we had a great stay. Ken was very helpful with providing information and always responded quickly. Our concierge, Vanessa, assisted us with booking tours and sharing helpful recommendations. Our kids especially enjoyed swimming in the pool and seeing the birds and lizards in their natural habitat. It was a wonderful experience being so close to the natural park. We would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a quiet, nature-focused getaway. Having a car is strongly recommended for getting around.

You absolutely need a car with four-wheel drive, because the journey is already challenging, also because we arrived in the dark! 
The pool is wonderful for swimming!
The apartments are so arranged that no one disturbs the other! 
You live in the middle of nature with many birds and sometimes playful monkeys,

Man braucht unbedingt ein Auto mit Allrad , denn die Anfahrt ist schon herausfordernd, auch weil wir bei Dunkelheit angekommen sind! Der Pool ist wunderbar zum Schwimmen! Die Appartements sind so angekommen, dass keiner den Anderen stört ! Man wohnt mitten in der Natur mit vielen Vögeln und manchmal auch verspielten Äffchen ,

Wonderful place, comfortable, clean, spacious, with everything you need to cook and do laundry.
the amazing pool, the views from the balcony are unique, every morning macaws and toucans passed by. One night we were in the pool and two raccoons passed by, Incredible!!!
The pool area has a gas grill for cooking.
a unique place!
i would definitely be back!!!
thank you so much!

Lugar maravilloso, cómodo, limpio, amplio, con todo lo necesario para cocinar y lavar la ropa. la piscina increíble, las vistas del balcón son únicas, todas las mañanas pasaban guacamayos y tucanes. Una noche estábamos en la piscina y pasaron dos mapaches, Increíble!!! en el sector de piscina cuenta con parrilla a gas para cocinar. un lugar único! sin duda volvería!!! muchas gracias!

Impeccable place. Wonderful stay. A paradise

Impecable lugar. Maravillosa estadía. Un paraíso

We loved our stay - such a bright, comfortable and spacious place to call home for a few night. Nestled among the hills and trees, you feel like you’re part of nature. The place is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, the ACs work well and the shower is nice and hot. 
We also enjoyed the common area by the pool as well as the terrace with incredible views.
Kent was very responsive and friendly. We can definitely recommend this apartment!

Great place, great views!   Monkeys and toucans right in our balcony!   Very comfy beds and a great host.  I highly recommend the place.   A highly responsive host that immediately fixed a small issue that arose.   We were impressed!

Overall a good Apartment. Good equipped kitchen. Nice pool and wildlife around. We had issues with Wlan and partly power outages during our stay.

Thanks for your review! I'm sorry you had these issues during your stay. Unfortunately the electrical infrastructure all over Manuel Antonio is dated, and power outages aren't infrequent. Glad you had a good stay!

The place is located in the heart of nature. We were lucky enough to hear howler monkeys several times, to see parrots and squirrel monkeys on our balcony in addition to seeing several iguanas in the street to get to the accommodation. The location is very intimate and it was a pleasure to be able to swim in the beautiful infinity pool. Kent was very responsive and the place was very clean. It was a pleasure to stay there for 1 week.

Le logement est situé en pleine nature. Nous avons eu la chance d'entendre des singes hurleurs à plusieurs reprises, de voir des perroquets et des singes écureuils sur notre balcon en plus de voir plusieurs iguanes dans la rue pour se rendre au logement. L'emplacement est très intime et c'était un plaisir de pouvoir se baigner dans la belle piscine à débordement. Kent était très réactif et le logement très propre. Ce fut un plaisir d'y séjourner 1 semaine.

The host was vegetarian nice, the place was perfect and I'll definitely be staying again.

The place is as described, spacious, and clean. Very nice pool close to the apartment. The house itself is far from the main attractions of Manuel Antonio, so I would recommend having a car or using an uber - a steep driveway, not every car could, especially during the rain. Amazing guests - red macaws on the balloon :) Overall, we were very happy.

Miejsce jest zgodne z opisem, przestrzenne i czyste. Bardzo fajny basen blisko mieszkania. Sam dom znajduje się w oddali od głównych atrakcji Manuel Antonio więc polecałabym posiadanie auta lub korzystanie z ubera - stromy podjazd, nie każde auto dawało rade, zwłaszcza podczas deszczu. Niesamowici goście - czerwone ary na balonie :) Ogólnie byliśmy bardzo zadowoleni.

There are steps to access the apartment, it was easy to enter. Kent's service was very good, always available at every moment that he was written to, I asked him for some recommendations and they were super accurate. The truth is, we had no major inconvenience, it is just as described and just as seen in the images. The pool is quite clean and nice to cool off in. A highly recommended place.

Hay gradas para acceder al apartamento, fue fácil poder ingresar. La atención de Kent fue muy buena, siempre disponible en cada momento que se le escribió, le pedí algunas recomendaciones y fueron super acertadas. La verdad no tuvimos mayor inconveniente, es tal y como se describe y justo como se ve en las imagenes. La piscina bastante limpia y rica para quitar el calor. Un lugar muy recomendado.

This place was in a perfect location. We spent most of the time on the balcony or in the gorgeous and refreshing infinity pool taking in the amazing landscape. We had a large iguana who hung out in a tree within feet of the balcony. It was a perk to have access to a washer and dryer. Beds were comfortable. Overall really great place and we'd stay again.

Great place, exactly as described, and well situated, close to Quepos, Manual Antonio Park and many restaurants. Clean and well kept.  The pool was well maintained and a welcome addition to cool of after spending some time outside. Many many birds including macaws, humming birds and even a couple of eagles!  Kent was very responsive and accommodating when it came to extend a bit the check-out time. The climb to the location is a little steep but is well worth the sunset view! A 4x4 or mini SUV is welcomed but not necessary.

Beautiful place with amazing views and priva y

We enjoyed a lot our stay at Lapa Roja, the place is warming and relaxing. It has everything you need, 10 min drive to the Manuel Antonio National Park. Fully recommend it!

Staying at Kent’s place was great. The location, view and the morning Lapa Roja “wake up call” was a great experience for me and my family. Short drive to great restaurants and downtown Manuel Antonio. We had some issues getting to the place but Kent was responsive and always returning messages. I recommend Kent’s place without a doubt. We are definitely planning on going back.

Clean, better than the pics. Perfect for family.

The place is really nice, we found it really clean, the pool was a perfect temperature and getting there was easy, Kent was very clear in his instructions and check-in and check-out was very easy, we loved it and highly recommend it

El lugar está súper bonito, lo encontramos super limpio, la piscina con una temperatura perfecta y llegar no nos costó nada, Kent fue muy claro en sus instrucciones y el check in y el check out resultó muy fácil, nos encantó y lo recomendamos mucho

We loved staying here! The pool and views are amazing, plus you can’t beat the incredible nature and daily visits from monkeys, macaws and more! Jessica and Kent were so lovely and helpful and we felt so taken care of! The road is a bit steep but we enjoyed the adventure and the instructions/ signs are clear. The apartment was nice and spacious and very clean. Thank you so much for having us!

The apartment is located at the top of a hill, difficult to access without a 4x4. The kitchen area of the accommodation is very basic. We didn't even have anything to sweep with. The sea view from this apartment is obstructed by vegetation. The pool area is not maintained (leaves not removed, dirty deckchairs etc.) and this over several days. I don't think it's good value for money.

L appartement se situe en haut d une montée, difficile d'accès sans 4X4. La partie cuisine du logement est très sommaire. Nous n avions même pas de quoi passer le balai. La vue mer sur cet appartement là est obstruée par la végétation. La partie piscine n est pas entretenue (feuilles pas enlevées, transats sales etc...) et ce sur plusieurs jours. Je trouve que ce n est pas un bon rapport qualité/ prix.

Hi Virginie--I'm sorry you had some complaints about your stay. In fact the pool area is cleaned twice a day, but is hard to keep all the leaves away because of the encroaching rainforest. We will definitely get a broom for the apartment, and trim back the ocean views, which is good feedback.

Very nice place, very nice environment for the view, the flaure and the fauna. Friendly accommodation for 2 people when we were 4 people and a baby: only one glass of wine, very small fridge, lack of utility utensils (example: small knife), only 2 outdoor chairs, little workspace in the kitchen ( preparing meals, doing dishes...), reception of appalling wifi, no mirror or trash in the small room.

Endroit très agréable, très bel environment pour la vue, la flaure et la faune. Logement plus convivial pour 2 personnes alors que nous étions 4 personnes et un bébé : un seul verre de vin, très petit réfrigirateur, manque d’ustensiles utilitaires (example : petit couteau), seulement 2 chaises extérieures, peu d’espace de travail à la cuisine ( préparation des repas, faire la vaisselle…), réception du wifi épouvantable, pas de miroir ni de poubelle dans la petite chambre.

Hi Louis-Philippe, thanks for your feedback about the apartment.  We will certainly take it seriously and improve these details, including the wifi, which hasn't given us problems in the past.

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Mar y Sol. Location is lovely with macaws and toucan literally a few feet from the balcony each day. Close to restaurants, beaches and Manuel Antonio. Btw, get ticket for Manuel Antonio in advance and definitely pick the morning times, so you can hike in the park and swim at the park's beaches before they kick people out at 3:30. As others mentioned, the road up is a little tricky the first time - maps didn't show the correct location and the owner's instructions are fairly confusing - but we figured it out, and once you know the route, it's totally fine and worth the trip for the views. Also, you don't need a 4x4, but a slightly higher vehicle seemed helpful to us. One day of our stay the water went out for the whole day, but I think this was also affecting a larger area, not just us. Lastly, the pool is shared with the other units, which we didn't realize, but turned out to be just fine also. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

The room is excellent! Everything is very nice

La habitación está excelente! Todo muy bonito

The worst experience of my life in an arbnb, I never had a concrete communication with Kent, they never sent me the information, my check-in was at 3pm and I didn't know how to get there; no one answered me by call or messages can find the place with the help of app customer services and I entered the house at 11:45pm without knowing where I was. The next day nobody communicated with me, it was the worst experience of my life ever and I would never recommend this place The pool was leaving the linens because there is paint coming out of the walls, the bathroom had a strange smell in the shower There is a lot to improve and even the maid on duty (she was the only one who can see in person) apologized and told me that she was not the first person to have this happen to her.

La peor experiencia de mi vida en un arbnb, nunca tuve una comunicación concreta con el Kent, nunca me enviaron la información, mi check-in era a las 3pm y no sabia cómo llegar; nadie me contestaba por llamada ni mensajes puede encontrar el lugar con la ayuda de servicios al cliente de la aplicación y entré a la casa a las 11:45pm sin saber dónde estaba. Al día siguiente nadie se comunicó conmigo, fue la peor experiencia de mi vida jamás y nunca recomendaría este lugar La piscina dejaba la ropa blanca porque hay pintura saliendo de las paredes, el baño tenía un olor extraño en la ducha Hay mucho que mejorar e incluso la señora de servicio (fue la única que puede ver en persona) me ofreció disculpas y me dijo que no era la primera persona que le pasaba esto.

I'm sorry to hear this review--but I also feel it needs refuting!  We had send the guests an information packet (as we always do) with a booklet that not only had a link to G Maps but also written directions to Villa Mar y Sol.  Furthermore all of the same information is on Airbnb, including the location marker.  We've had dozens if not hundreds of happy guests who arrived with the exact same information without problems.  They didn't communicate with us beforehand, and simply expected that we'd be on call at 11:45pm. Then the guests became verbally abusive to our staff--and refused to leave at the check-out time because they had 'lost time', putting us in a crunch with guests arriving later.  Despite this we allowed them to use another apartment until they were ready to leave.  I believe the other complaints are a result of their initial frustration.  Therefore I'm saddened to get such a bad review because the guests got lost themselves.

This place was a gem! Beautiful view, plenty big for our family of four. Kent was a little slow to respond sometimes and we had requested the travel crib, but it wasn’t there the first night. But they did give it to us for the rest of our stay. Overall great experience. The drive up to the location is extremely, but we made it in our 2 wheel drive. If it was raining, a 4 wheel would be nice

Great Airbnb! Very clean, spacious, and fabulous views! We saw macaws and toucans right outside as well as enjoyed the beautiful sunsets from the balcony. Kent was very responsive and gave helpful instructions to find the place.

The Lapa Roja 2 Bedroom Unit. Access: Very steep road to the unit, with the steepest section paved but scary steep with hairpin turns. Directions could have been better. Interior of the unit. POOR. Its evident that the owner's priority was to spend the least amount of money on the furnishings and charge the most for the rent without consideration for the guests. The refrigerator was so old it looked like a retro 1950's unit with the paint worn off surrounding the door handle exposing the gray underlying metal. The living room couch was old, worn, and stained, so much so that you really didn't want to sit on it. Some very nice ladies came in once when we were there and were measuring it for a new couch cover. For the money they charge, the owner should just buy a new couch for the vacationers comfort. The kitchen did not have wall cabinets, so that all the plates, coffee cups, water glasses etc. were on an open free standing metal shelf. I do not recommend this unit.

I'm sorry you felt this way about your stay in Lapa Roja! I'm a bit surprised--but let me address these issues one by one: Directions - Villa Mar y Sol is on Google Maps and Waze, and most guests have no issues finding it. Interior - Most of the furnishings were in fact bought at a Balinese importer, and weren't cheap! Sofa - as you mentioned, was just reupholstered. Refrigerator - I will personally take this up with the owners, but have not have any previous complaints. Kitchen - In fact in the rainforest exposed shelves can be preferable, due to the humidity. I wish you'd brought these items up directly with me instead of immortalizing them in a review--but please know I will take all of these complaints seriously and do our best to improve!

Fantastic stay with pretty sunsets every day. We got to see a lot of wildlife ( parrots and monkeys ) from our balcony which was awesome. Kent was very responsive and made us feel safe when we ran into questions. the place itself was hard to find when we arrived in the night - glad I had rented a 4x4 — family was scared but I was thrilled to show off my driving skills :) made friends with some local Inguanas .. and the psychedelic pool was awesome

Beautiful place!! The pictures do not do it justice. Quiet with amazing views. I wish I could have stayed longer and will definitely return!

I have stayed at this place a half dozen times over probably the last decade. The pool is great, place is safe, beautiful surroundings. Lots of nature, great view for sunsets.

Amazing apartment. Absolutely beautiful, peaceful, secluded but close to town, spacious, well stocked. Kent was a great host, really responsive and helpful. We’d 100% stay again.

Our stay was very pleasant, clean and spacious. The kitchen was stocked with everything you can possibly need and the house keeping was great. It was nice to have a washer and dryer. We didn’t see monkeys at the property as we hoped but we did see a beautiful toucan. The pool was a plus. We were in Costa Rica for two weeks and this stay was the most expensive, which we found as a downfall. Other than that it was a great stay.

It's a super nice place, you can sleep with peace of mind. The apartment is very clean and has everything you need for a good time. The pool area is beautiful surrounded by greenery. Everything is very close by car. Kent and all the staff are very friendly and responsive right away. I would definitely stay here again when I return from vacation to Manuel Antonio.

Es un lugar súper bonito, se puede dormir con tranquilidad. El apartamento muy limpio y con todo lo que se necesita para pasarla bien. El área de la piscina es hermosa rodeada de vegetación. En automóvil está todo muy cerca. Kent y todo el personal son muy amables y responden de inmediato. Sin dudas volvería a hospedarme aquí cuando vuelva de vacaciones a Manuel Antonio.

This place is stunning, in all aspects. The location the building, the apartment, the cleanliness of the unit was awesome. We loved it, if you are coming to Manuel Antonio don't think twice in booking this place. You will love it. Not to mention the pool, and the views of Nature. Great all around.

Place and location was beautiful. I love it. only thing the night before we left we had about 5 bees come inside the apartment and the next morning when we were leaving to the airport there were tons of bees at the door, so it was difficult to get out with all the bees around us. but we made it. And I understand that because of the nature around us, that is the bee's home.

Large appartement with a big pool and a great view! The best thing is the animals that you see pass by. We saw macaws (due to the proximity of the Gaia hotel), a toucan and monkeys. I have the feeling that they are very guest-centric and will offer great service, but when we were there the concierge wasn’t very responsive. Note that the way there is steep (almost impossible to walk and a bit scary to drive) and the parking is on the side of the road. But that’s a necessarily evil to see that amazing view :)

If you want peace and quiet and beautiful nature around you, this is the place. Lots of birds, iguanas and amazing trees. Great houseekping from very friendly Karen -thank you!

We loved our stay. Carli and Kent are hosts who know how to make us feel at home. The apartment was ultra clean and the view is incredible. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Carli et Kent sont des hôtes qui savent nous faire sentiré comme chez nous. L’appartement était ultra propre et la vue est incroyable. J’y retournerais sans hésiter.

It was a beautiful home in beautiful surroundings. Kent and his team were quick to respond with any needs and provided a lot of great recommendations for the area. It was an enjoyable stay and hope to be back soon.

My husband and I enjoyed the house and neighborhood during our week stay. The hills and surrounding area gave us plenty of exercise each morning. Moreover, I photographed quite a few birds in the front and back of the house, including two Pale-Billed Woodpeckers, Rufous-Tailed Hummingbirds, Scarlet Macaws, Yellow-Throated Toucans, Sunbitterns, Lesson’s Motmot, Social Flycatcher, and so many more. As for restaurants, check out Emilio’s, La Luna, and Terrazza by Issimo. Drive to Uvita, Ojochal, and further south if you have time ;)

Kent’s house is so beautiful and clean. Staffs are very helpful. It has breathtaking view. Will definitely come back

Beautiful high-rise accommodation, very clean, beautiful pool. Big climb by car but is well done with a 4x4. We saw parrots and toucan nearby. Great location in the neighborhood.

Beau logement en hauteur, bien propre, belle piscine. Grosse montee en voiture mais se fait bien avec un 4x4. nous avons vu perroquets et toucan a proximité. Bien situé dans le quartier.

Excellent Airbnb. Pool is GREAT - could spend all day there looking at the birds/iguanas etc. Up a fairly steep road but nothing our 2wd SUV couldn't manage. Information beforehand was excellent and the AirBNB was well-cleaned throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

Beautiful spot with lovely view from private deck- Toucans and Macaws could be seen every morning and the wonderfully alive sounds of Costa Rica could be heard all day/evening. The apartment had everything we needed for lovely vacation. Would highly recommend. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We loved our stay at casa mar y sol. Carli, the concierge helped us to book all of our activities around the area and was extremely helpful. the apartment and common areas were fantastic and there was even a maid service. A+++ would book again

Great location Great host Great staff! Always willing to help, the concierge is responsive and professional. The nature is to die for! Each morning I sat outside for 30 minutes to an hour and saw so many Macaws, monkeys, birds, kinkajou (when I arrived at night), Keel-Billed Toucan, Bay-Headed Tanager, etc!Would be back!

Kent and his whole team were so kind, welcoming, and responsive. This is an amazing Airbnb and Kent was on top of every detail. One time the gas ran out for our stove and he immediately delivered a new canister. Another time the whole house lost power and Kent had maintenance restore it within 10 minutes. It was all taken care of at lightning speed! The balcony, the view, the pool, and all were just perfect. The road to the house is steep but totally manageable and walkable. The beds were comfortable and the apartment was very clean. We saw lots of beautiful birds and iguanas. We didn’t cook much but if we had wanted to, the only thing I would suggest is to supply scissors to open packaged food, some sharp knives, and a few more wine glasses. The grill by the pool was great and spotless. Overall, our stay was just wonderful. Thanks, Kent! I would highly recommend any of the apartments in this fabulous house!

Perfect vacation location! The unit had all we needed for the 4 of us in comfort and style. The air condition worked great, there were plenty of kitchen utensils, and the bathroom well stocked with towels. The pool area was fabulous. We saw beautiful sunsets right from the patio, lots of Parrots and Toucan’s, and monkeys. Karen was there for us every day, what a wonderful person, she is ADORABLE! (See you again) PURA VIDA!

Beautiful stay at the Villa!!!  Very functional and Zen environment. The pool is a big plus as well as the animals we saw (Macaws, monkeys, lizards).

Très beau séjour à la Villa !!!  Très fonctionnel et environnement zen. La piscine est un gros plus ainsi que les animaux que l’on a vu (aras, singes, lézards).

Wonderful place, amazing view, friendly host and staff. I would recommend a 4x4 vehicle to get up the winding road. Top notch.

We had a very peaceful stay above the the canopy. We watched the Lapas fly every morning. The hosts are very hospitable. It is a great location for exploring the Park.

The apartment is located on a mountain. With maps it was not easy to find the apartment. The complex includes a very nice pool. You have a great view. We could see monkeys and parrots.

Das Apartment befindet sich auf einen Berg. Mit Maps war es nicht einfach die Wohnung zu finden. Zur Anlage gehört ein sehr schöner Pool. Man hat einen tollen Ausblick. Wir konnten Affen und Papageien sehen.

Beautiful home, kids loved the pool, great views. We loved our stay!

Perfect stay! The place was close to everything! Easy to access and as described! I would recommend the place without hesitation

Séjour parfait! L’endroit était à proximité de tout! Facile d’accès et conforme à la description! Je vous recommande l’endroit sans hésiter

Accommodations were as advertised! We stayed in both the Jaguar and Roja suites, both of which were well-kept, clean, and fully functional- A/C, fridge, oven, fans, pool, etc. Jaguar unit is enormous and has an office space that comes in handy if you have to do any work. Nice perk- they provide towels for the pool. Lone drawback is the drive to the units is up a narrow, steep hill that the tourismo vans have a hard time navigating. We had a rental car making this easy for us (includes parking!), but if you choose not to rent a car, be sure to inform anyone who may be picking you up or dropping you off of the drive. It's not a hike you want to make to/from the main road. The view is worth it. It's spectacular with a variety of animals passing through- squirrel monkeys, macaws, hummingbirds, iguanas- with great sunsets. Karen provided us access to the laundry and helped keep the place tidy for our stay. Kent and Winny where proactive in reaching out, offering services, and quick to respond to our questions and extend our stay. Would recommend and stay there again.

Our best stay in Costa Rica by far. The view from the property allows you to see parrots regularly along with Toucans, woodpeckers, lizards, dragons and more. The flat had everything we needed for 4 adults including streaming services which was great for a lazy evening. The pool & BBQ area was superbly setup with all facilities clean and ready for use every day. Finally, our host went above & beyond for us: sorted out a transfer to Tamarindo last minute & taxis if you’re Spanish is as bad as ours! Wonderful place; we all agreed we’d happily come back and spend a whole month there if we could.

We spent three days in the apartment and enjoyed the time very much. What a wonderful place! Kent and the cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. The apartment is super equipped and the pool wonderful. Glad to come back!

Wir haben drei Tage im Apartement verbracht und die Zeit sehr genossen. Was für ein wunderbarer Ort! Kent und das Reinigungspersonal waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Apartement super ausgerüstet und der Pool wunderbar. Gerne wieder!

The pool area is fabulous, resort-like, beautiful view. The rental was quiet and spacious, with a nice balcony for bird watching. Karen, the cleaning woman, was welcoming and helpful. Some items in the apartment are old and would benefit from a replacement/upgrade.

Great location with great service! Don’t think twice to book here! Very spacious and private feel!

Nice apartment overlooking the surrounding hills and the Pacific. Great view, toucans and macaws can be seen from the balcony. Drive up the hill is very steep, an SUV would be preferable. The concierge, Gerardo was really helpful in arranging tours via WhatsApp text. Cleanliness and bed comfort were not great, but overall it was a very nice stay in a beautiful area.

Amazing spot! The views are spectacular and we saw scarlet macaws daily! Apartment is clean, well appointed, and very spacious. There’s a pool just steps from your front door, which is a great added bonus. Great stay!

Excellent place to stay in the Manuel Antonio area! Very close to Manuel Antonio National Park and Quepos, tons of restaurants and things to do. Place was a little difficult to find at first but the host was very helpful with getting us there. The views from the place are spectacular and the pool is so nice. Had everything we needed in the apartment. Would stay here again whenever we make it down to Manuel Antonio again!

This place is beautiful! You really feel like you are in the jungle and the views are stunning.  The place is beautiful and has all the things you need for a wonderful trip. We cooked a few times and the kitchen was easy to use and navigate.  The pool is stunning and as well as the personal decks. David is extremely helpful and helped us book a few dinner reservations. I would highly recommend this place!

It was just perfect. I have no words. Tranquility and nature.

I enjoyed my stay at David’s will definitely recommend. David place is amazing, the views were absolutely astounding . I was greeted every morning with macaws and even visited by squirrel monkeys. David and his partner were very nice.

The location of the apartment is simply magnificent and David and René are two very great hosts! Also, her dog Narko just to cuddle! The apartment or furniture is a bit outdated (sofa/kitchen inventory), which you should renew. A smart TV would also have been nice but thanks to the great Wi-Fi network, the I-pad also went to watch a movie for a while. Otherwise I have to say it was a dream to be woken up every morning by the Macaws! You can see everything from the terrace or just a few steps walk and have sloths, monkeys & toucan everything close to touch! You practically don't need a national park as everything is at your doorstep! The infinity pool is perfect and the views are magnificent. Both bedrooms are air conditioned which was great for sleeping. Quepos is easily accessible and has everything you need for everyday life! It's a great week☺️thanks!

Die Lage der Wohnung ist einfach nur grandios und David und René sind zwei ganz Tolle Gastgeber! Auch ihr Hund Narko einfach nur zum knuddeln! Die Wohnung bzw. das Mobiliar ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen (Sofa/Kücheninventar) dieses sollte man mal erneuern. Auch wäre ein Smart TV schön gewesen aber dank super W-LAN Netz ging das I-Pad auch zum mal ein Film schauen. Sonst muss ich sagen war es ein Traum jeden Morgen von den Aras geweckt zu werden! Man sieht alles von der Terrasse oder braucht nur ein paar Schritte laufen und hat Faultier, Affen & Tucan  alles zum anfassen nahe! Man braucht quasi kein Nationalpark da alles vor der Tür ist! Der Infinitipool ist perfekt und die Aussicht grandios. Beide Schlafzimmer sind klimatisiert was zum schlafen topp war. Quepos ist gut erreichbar und hat alles was man zum Alltag gebraucht! Es eine tolle Woche☺️Danke!

Wonderful Place!!  Highly recommended!! Excellent view.  Apartment has everything you need.  The pool was clean and lit up at night.  Romantic and I don't have a single complaint.  Book it!

If you’re trying to decide whether you should stay here, don’t hesitate. The pictures don’t do it justice. We loved it! Monkeys came to visit us right in our balcony and beautiful Macaws flying by. Picturesque views over the infinity pool. David and René were just upstairs if we needed anything. David took us to get our rental car and made arrangements to have food delivered. The drive getting up to the property is a little scary at first, but you get used to it and the views are SOOOOO worth it!

This is the BEST Airbnb!!! David and René are seriously some of the nicest people I have ever met. They offered to take us into downtown Quepos, to our excursions and even invited us into their home and feed the Scarlett Macaws that landed on their balcony!! The Airbnb house is soooo beautiful it’s so modern and decorated perfectly. It has great wifi and air conditioning. The kitchen comes with everything you could possibly need to cook too! The view is so amazing as well, it’s perfectly situated in the jungle, ocean view with a beautiful infinity pool. We saw Scarlett Macaws from our balcony many times, iguanas and beautiful birds and butterflies. The location is honestly so perfect, it’s so close to the beach, all the restaurants, bars  and shopping! We messaged david and René so many times about help with how to get around, how to set up excursions and they both always answered so fast and we’re so helpful, they even set up our excursions for us! When our trash was full René came down and took it for us too. Just the sweetest people ever. When I come back to Costa Rica I will definitely be staying at their Airbnb again! I’ve stayed at 5-star resorts and staying here and this trip beat all of those! I can’t wait to return and see my new friends david and René Pura Vida🥰

Just perfect. Quiet and unique. Easy to get there.

David's place was beautiful. We woke up to macaws outside our window, and even saw monkeys from the balcony. The pool was wonderful, as well, and David was super responsive to any needs we had.

This AirBnb was exceptional!!! David and Rene were perfects hosts and helped us with all of our questions/needs. They also went the extra mile to help us organize excursions and make us feel like we were at home! Also two of us were working from home, and the internet was perfect, which helped make trip even more stress free. I highly recommend this Airbnb and hope to come back again some day!

What a gorgeous place to stay!  We were working remote at the Toucan apartment for 2 weeks and the view was just amazing.  Renee and David were always responsive and helpful.  Steps away from the pool made it easy to take a break and having access to laundry services made it so convenient.  We'll be back again for sure as the place, host and country were all unforgettable!  We loved the entire experience and enjoyed our time.

Great location near Manuel Antonio National Park with beach access. Make sure you ask David for restaurant and adventure recommendations, he has a big help. Enjoy!

The airbnb was absolutely lovey and David was a kind and thoughtful host!!

This place is AWESOME. I stayed for 4 nights with my 2 children and it surpassed my expectations. We had the entire first floor of the big white building. The view from balcony is just stunning and we saw up close macaw birds (in the evening), hummingbirds (in the morning), a giant lizard (loves climbing the tree in front) and even monkeys crossed over the balcony. The space is large and stylish and sparking clean and the wifi works well (all 3 of us were virtu schooling/working). Massive comfortable beds. The kitchen has coffee and a coffee machine, toaster, smoothie maker, oven and fridge. And the pool...is just incredible. The pool is shared with a few other apartments in the building run by David and Rene. The apartment is on a hill, but only a 6 minute drive to the shops. David and Rene were awesome hosts and have put together a book of things to do and places to eat locally - all the recommendations were awesome. I’d have loved to have stayed longer.

David was very helpful during our stay. We received a notebook with recommendations what to do around, where to it etc. It was cery helpful. Our stay was amazing because of this apartment. The view from the balcony was incredibly beautiful. Plenty of birds around like parrots, swimming pool and quiet location has made our stay very comfy and memorable.

Great location, awesome value! Worked well for working remotely.

David and Renee were top of the line hosts. this by far was the coolest and best Airbnb that I've ever experienced. Being in the jungle was a fantastic experience and the wild life you see there is amazing. My girlfriend and I were working remotely from there and it worked without a problem! I would say the place even better than the pictures and the hosts privided everything we needed and more! would recommend to anyone ! thanks again for a great time guys !

David’s place is absolutely magical. We are avid bird lovers and amateur photographers and we could not have asked for more. The balcony opens to the rain forest and we were able to see way more birds - toucans, macaws, orioles, aracaris, hummingbirds - than even expensive wildlife resorts. Do follow their nicely designed guidebook. It has a ton of local tips for restaurants and things to do and the tips are just accurate. But if you are like us then you’d just stay in and enjoy the birds and yes the really stunning infinity pool.

Great place overall - good apartment for a family and has great views. David is very responsive and helped us with food delivery and booking tours. The place is a bit tucked away from the main streets, so the way to get up to the hotel is unpacked and quite rocky. Since the place is high up, we were able to see a lot birds and sometimes monkeys from our apartment. Thanks for a great stay!

The place is located on the mountain site. Very quiet and I'm the mornings full of life with hundreds of birds singing. You can easily spot Scarlet Macaws eating on the trees. This place is great for couples. Lots of privacy, peaceful and quiet. Only 10 minutes from all the restaurants and amenities. David was a great host, l had an allergy reaction one evening and he was quick to response with the information for a Dr near the area. l was able to get an injection and return to my bed in less then 30 minutes.

Good location, the house is just as it looks, highly recommended. For 4 people it is an excellent option.

Buena ubicación, la casa es justo como se ve, muy recomendado. Para 4 personas es excelente opción.

Amazing location with great views, beautiful pool, AC, and all the comforts you need for a relaxed and pleasant stay.

Amazing place to stay, close to Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Great service and all around perfect
