Private Wildlife Villa | Pool, Beach & Nat Park - Villas for Rent in Quepos, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

This property is beautiful! There is lots of wildlife to see and enjoy. The house is private yet easy to get to every thing you want to do. It is very clean and was comfortable for all five of us. Helena (property concierge) provides lots of local recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Even booking excursions for us as needed. Helena was available for any questions or concerns and was very responsive. She is absolutely amazing! 🤩 We would love to come back and stay at this little piece of heaven!

Beautiful property! The pool was amazing, the wildlife was the best we saw all trip! The house was in a great location and had everything we needed! Would stay here again for sure! Highly recommended!

This house by far was the best part of our trip. There was so much wildlife, including monkeys, macaws , iguanas, sloths, and much more! From the minute you step into this home the whole world just disappears. Despite the home feeling incredibly private, there was tons to do in the nearby area including beautiful beaches (Playa Espadilla was stunning and easy to access) , great food (Mercadito Gastronómico was 10/10), and Manuel  Antonio National Park which is a must see! The home had everything you would need, including chairs, umbrellas towels, cookware, and appliances and much more. We can’t wait to come back!

Great! comfortable home in a quiet, peaceful location. Very close to the beach.   Short drive to multiple restaurants and shopping.  Large families of monkeys visit the property in the early morning hours.  Several businesses offer day passes with beach access very near the home.

House is just like the pictures.  It was clean and very nice.   Helena communicated well and met us there (she is lovely!).  The pictures with arrows to navigate from the main road to the house were helpful.  The road getting in and out is a little tricky, but doable.  The monkeys on the roof in the early mornings (several of them moms with babies on their backs) were a delightful surprise!  Great location close to activities and restaurants.  The backyard is just incredible!!  We were excited for our sighting of Stumpy (the resident iguana).  Bonus points for composting and for all the eco-friendly touches.  My only negative is that the living room/kitchen can get warm, as they aren’t air conditioned (which I must have missed when booking).  There are 2 fans that do a good job of moving air, but it still could get a little stuffy.  The a/c and ceiling fans in the bedrooms worked perfectly.  Well thought out, beautiful house that we wished we could have stayed for a few more days in!

We had a great stay while fishing in Quepos!

What an incredible property to stay at! It was everything in the description and more! Loved seeing all the wildlife right outside our back porch. There was nothing like waking up to the sound of the monkeys running across the roof. Our host was responsive, attentive, and super helpful with lots of recommendations.

The house is like being in your own wildlife park and the pool was great!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful location!! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone that considers going to Costa Rica

La Casa de la Reina was an absolute perfect place to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. Teya and her concierge, Helena (who will ensure everything is perfect) went above and beyond to make this trip memorable for my mom. Coordinating excursions, personal chef, massage....and communicating to others the reason for our trip and needs. The house is perfect is so many ways--centralized location, infinity pool, gorgeous grounds and SO MANY MONKEYS! You will not be disappointed with this house and team!

The property looked just as beautiful in person as it did in the photos, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. We did have bugs come into the house even with the windows closed, but someone kindly came the next day to help. One thing I wish had been clearer was the construction. It was mentioned beforehand, but I didn’t expect it to be happening all day, which took away from the peaceful nature experience we were hoping for. We barely saw any wildlife during our stay aside from monkeys once in the distance, possibly because of the noise. Overall, the place itself is beautiful, but the experience felt a bit more monitored and strict than we expected for a relaxing getaway.

My family and I enjoyed this beautiful home and made special memories enjoying the pool while observing the surrounding wildlife.  This was truly a perfect stay from communication during booking process, the warm welcome upon arrival for the concierge Helena, the warm tones and color paintings in the home and all the small details not only making our stay on the property more comfortable but also enhanced our outings as there were beach chairs, blanket and umbrellas available for use.   Stumpy the iguana was such a beauty as he warmed around the property.   I would book again with no hesitation and wish we would have stayed longer!

This home made our vacation to Costa Rica so memorable. The wildlife we were able to see each morning rivaled any rainforest tour. The pool was perfect and the owners of the home were responsive and so helpful with restaurant suggestions and ideas of places to explore. We will be back. :)

Such a great discovery. We had a wonderful 4 days. The house is even more beautiful than in the photos and very large. I have rarely rented a house so well equipped (linens, kitchen utensils, beach and pool equipment). The outdoor space is beautiful, very well maintained. The pool and terrace area is very pleasant, ideal for families. You have a privileged view of the jungle, and if you are patient, you can see a multitude of animals: monkeys, toucans, lizards. Thank you for this amazing stay:)

Quelle belle découverte. Nous avons passés 4 jours formidables. La maison est encore plus belle que sur les photos et très grande. J’ai rarement loué une maison si bien équipée ( linge de maison, ustensiles de cuisine , équipement pour la plage, la piscine) L’espace extérieur est magnifique, très bien entretenu. L’espace piscine et terrasse très agréable idéal en famille. Vous avez une vue privilégiée sur la jungle et si vous êtes patients vous pourrez voir une multitudes d’animaux : singes toucan lézards. Merci pour ce séjour incroyable :)

Wow. Such a beautiful house, location, experience … I only wish we had more time.   From a cooking class with a recommended local chef to an outdoor massage under the sunset to the monkeys in the morning …. It was a truly magical and beautiful stay. I hope to come back xxxx

We had such a great time at our stay! Helena was so helpful in suggesting and helping us book activities. She's incredibly responsive and friendly, we were so grateful for her help. We used the pool every day, it was so nice. There were active monkeys in the tree every morning and the iguanas would come out in the afternoon. The location is great! Really close to a bunch of restaurants and very close to the national park. Having AC in the bedrooms was a life saver and the house was very clean and comfortable. Overall we really loved our stay and would absolutely stay there again. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa La Reina. Morning coffee without the jungle coming to life in front of us just won’t be the same. The pool is a great feature, and we spent a lot of time in there when not doing activities. The A/C in each room kept it cool despite the heat and humidity, and the wi-fi was speedy. Outside of the wonderful accommodations, not enough can be said about Helena, the concierge. She assisted us with booking multiple tours and activities, made recommendations, and even helped us order food one night when the language barrier was insurmountable. She was so attentive and personable, and we can’t speak highly enough of her. We can’t recommend Casa La Reina enough!

Wonderful stay! Loved the house and its beautiful and private surroundings. Everything was as described, pristine, and so peaceful. A little oasis of solitude in the otherwise touristy Manuel Antonio area. We definitely recommend a stay here!

Teya’s house is beautiful! Very nicely decorated and well-appointed, has everything you’ll need. Property is great, private, surrounded by the jungle. Had visits from monkeys every morning, fed banana chunks to Stumpy the iguana and a couple of his friends, lots of wildlife all around, especially at sunrise. If you’re looking for something a little away from the busy areas, but still a quick drive into Quepos or Manuel Antonio, this is a great spot. Helena greeted us at check-in, and gave us lots of tips on where to go and where to eat, she’s a gem! Road in is rough, but no rougher than any of the other non-highway roads in Costa Rica, saw a wide variety of non-four-wheel-drive vehicles navigate it (was dry season, maybe in rainy season 4WD would be helpful), just take it slow.

What can I say in a few words?!? Best stay of our 12 day vacation in Costa Rica! We also stayed at Tabacon which wasn’t worth it. Wishing we stayed here longer than 4 days. Squirrel monkeys in the morning, agouti, toucans, all kinds of birds, and lizards. Pool was pristine. Everything you need is at the house. Helena went above and beyond to make our stay incredible! She planned tours, restaurants and gave us the best routes to get from place to place as some apps aren’t reliable. Bed was super comfortable! We hope to return next year!

Our favorite place we stayed during our week plus in Costa Rica. Beautiful house in a beautiful location, with plenty of privacy. The owner and concierge were kind, welcoming, communicative, and accommodating. The troop of squirrel monkeys coming to pay us a visit on our first night was a real highlight. Couldn’t have asked for more, only wish our schedule had allowed us to stay longer. Would easily come stay here again.

This house did not disappoint. The jungle views are incredible and the tribe of monkeys who inhabit the backyard entertained us each morning and evening. The house is centrally located and easy to get to the beaches and restaurants. Helena was so helpful and responsive at all hours. I whole heartedly recommend this property for the ultimate Costa Rica experience.

Absolutely beautiful home! Wildlife galore. Such a peaceful retreat for the holidays.

Lovely location and surroundings. The pool and the backyard were wonderful. The check-in and concierge were quite helpful.

Hi Colby! I wish you had reached out to either Helena or me if there was a problem with any cleaning issues (after all, you had our personal #'s and when I messaged you to see if you needed anything or if anything needed attention, you didn't tell me there were any issues with the home not being spotless (something we would have taken very seriously). You mentioned the stove needing gas and we were there within minutes, but again: no mention of the home not being cleaned to your satisfaction. And what part of not being 'accurate' with our location was missing? We are very transparent on our listing that the home is tricky to find the first time, and that's why we have Helena send directions with pictures and a location pin (AND tell people not to trust airbnb directions). Even 1 star off of a rating hurts us a lot, especially when we try so hard to be attentive (like, for example, the hours Helena spends sharing info with all our visitors, a super-helpful and valuable concierge service that is absolutely free to you). I don't understand why you would shave points off our ratings when you could have messaged us and we would have done everything we could to have made things right with you. How can we fix something if you don't tell us if anything is wrong - ESPECIALLY when we reach out to you and ask how things are and you say you're having a great time and everything's fine? It seems terribly unfair and a bit hurtful. :(

We just stayed at Casa de la Reina for 6 nights. And are already talking about coming back next year. It is the most beautiful property in the ideal location. You don’t even need to leave the property to see all species of monkeys, birds, lizards, geckos, etc. The property and home is so well maintained and the host and concierge are so responsive and genuinely want to make sure you have the best stay and the best time in Costa Rica! Manuel Antonio national park, beaches and the town of Quepos are all just a few minute drive away. We hope to be back again soon! Thanks for having us!!

Beautiful home and such a fun yard and garden. We loved our stay. Helena was amazing to work with and very fast to communicate. They had some issues but took care of them and communicated very well. We loved all of the fun animals and saw monkeys, geckos, iguanas, and butterflies. We had a great time

It was a pleasure to host you, Tyler! And both of you being such understanding and laid-back guests made it the cherry on top. I don't think there would be many guests that would be as tranquil about having to stack their dirty dishes in a bowl of water and then going outside to rinse them in the pool shower because of a broken pipe, but thank God both of you were understanding about it and great about letting us have the guys go in and fix it right away. It's visitors like you that make our job a lot easier and help restore our faith in humanity. 🥰🙏🙏

We had a great stay at Casa de la Reina! The pool offers a great view on the nature and lots of wildlife. Helena and Teya were both really nice and provided great recommandations!

It’s a slice of heaven tucked into the rainforest. Monkeys with our morning coffee and Agoti’s taking advantage of the composted fruit. We adored the wildlife watching. The property itself is so well designed. The three of us had personal space and our own bathroom - family of 3. We had a car but we did order an Uber one night. The location is very convenient to many beaches, restaurants and the main Quepos downtown. We were beyond impressed with the level of service and the kindness everyone displayed to us. Thank you to Teya and her team we would stay with you again.

We had an exceptional stay in this beautiful house in the middle of the jungle! The house is spacious, very comfortable and perfectly equipped, with a beautiful swimming pool surrounded by a tropical garden where we were able to observe many animals (monkeys, birds, iguanas...). A true haven of peace, both close to Manuel Antonio Park and the beach. Teya was a remarkable host, always available by message and full of good advice to help us make the most of our stay. We will keep an unforgettable memory of these few days spent here and we would definitely recommend this place! 🌴💚

Nous avons passé un séjour exceptionnel dans cette magnifique maison en pleine jungle ! La maison est spacieuse, très confortable et parfaitement équipée, avec une belle piscine entourée d’un jardin tropical où nous avons pu observer de nombreux animaux (singes, oiseaux, iguanes…). Un véritable havre de paix, à la fois proche du parc Manuel Antonio et de la plage. Teya a été une hôte remarquable, toujours disponible par message et pleine de bons conseils pour nous aider à profiter au maximum de notre séjour. Nous garderons un souvenir inoubliable de ces quelques jours passés ici et nous recommandons vivement cet endroit ! 🌴💚

We had a great time, the accommodation exceeded our expectations, a little paradise. Beautiful views of nature where you can observe many animals.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment, le logement dépassait nos espérance, un petit paradis. Une vue magnifique sur la nature où l’on peut observer de nombreux animaux.

What a truly special place! We had such a lovely stay at Casa de la Reina and are already planning a return trip next year! The kitchen had everything we needed and the bedrooms were big and comfortable. The pool and surrounding jungle are the true highlight! When we stepped out onto the patio we were greeted by two curious squirrel monkeys! We saw so much wildlife while lounging in and around the pool! 2 monkey species, scarlet macaws, hummingbirds, and lizards just to name a few. Helena, our concierge, was very quick to reply to any questions we had and was so friendly! We also took Helena up on the offer of booking a driver, Miguel, from San Jose, and it was well worth the money! Miguel was friendly and showed us a couple of cool spots on the way. La Reina is also perfectly situated between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, so sightseeing was a breeze. Teya, the owner, was also in touch regularly with lots of good tips! I have already recommended this place to several friends!

Beautiful home would book 5x over loved my stay!!!

The stay at this place was wonderful: a very spacious, quiet house with a lot of privacy. It is located between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, and it is very easy to get to either of them by bus (the stop is right when you exit the highway). Teya (the owner) is very attentive, as is the co-host Helena. When we needed help, they were both available and gave us spectacular recommendations. We hope to be back soon!

La estancia en este lugar fue maravillosa: una casa muy espaciosa, tranquila y con mucha privacidad. Está ubicada entre Quepos y Manuel Antonio, y la verdad es muy fácil llegar a cualquiera de los dos en autobús (la parada está justo al salir a la carretera). Teya (la dueña) es muy atenta, al igual que la coanfitriona Helena. Cuando necesitamos ayuda, ambas estuvieron al pendiente y nos dieron recomendaciones espectaculares. ¡Esperamos volver pronto!

Great place emersed in nature and highly recommend! We only spent 2 nights but did get to see a Toucan, Iguanas and a frog on property. Well equipped kitchen and close to everything in Manuel Antonio and Quepos.

Teya's accommodation is great if you're looking to relax and unwind. It is located in an easily accessible area with many options to enjoy. Teya, Helena and Cris were super nice to us, and they were always attentive to answering our questions. We would definitely stay at such a beautiful property again.

El alojamiento de Teya es genial si lo que buscan es relajarse y desconectarse. Está ubicado en una zona de fácil acceso y con muchas opciones para disfrutar. Teya, Helena y Cris fueron super amables con nosotros, y siempre estuvieron atentos a evacuar nuestras dudas. Sin duda volveríamos a hospedarnos en tan hermosa propiedad.

We had an incredible stay! The house was absolutely perfect—spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The pool was a dream, surrounded by the jungle, making it feel like our own private paradise. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

One of the best places I've ever stayed; unparalleled privacy, beautiful spaces, impeccable rooms and bathrooms, a perfect kitchen and a very good pool. NOTHING TO IMPROVE! Both Helena and Teya were kind, clear and available and willing to help us have a wonderful vacation.

De los mejores lugares donde me he podido hospedar; privacidad inigualable, espacios lindos, habitaciones y baños impecables, una cocina perfecta y una muy buena piscina ¡NADA QUE MEJORAR! Tanto Helena como Teya fueron amables, claras y estuvieron disponibles y con disposición de ayudarnos para tener unas magníficas vacaciones.

You have an amazing house in a privileged location.  I don't think there's a better place in the area to be with your family. Communication is constant and you notice that they care about you having the best time possible. I would repeat without hesitation. The house is fully equipped and new

Tenéis una casa increíble en un sitio privilegiado.  No creo que haya sitio mejor en la zona para estar con tu familia. La comunicación es constante y notas que se preocupan para que lo pases lo mejor posible. Repetiría sin dudarlo. La casa está completamente equipada y nueva

We had a great stay at this house. Everything was there for: a very warm welcome from our booking, also during our arrival, very beautiful and very well-equipped house in a very natural setting with fauna and flora of Costa Rica directly in the garden. Lots of recommendations for places nearby, very useful when you're there on a short trip. Thank you very much ladies for hosting us!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison. Tout était réuni pour : un accueil très chaleureux dès notre réservation, également lors de notre arrivée, maison très belle et très très bien équipées dans un cadre très naturel avec faune et flore du Costa Rica directement dans le jardin. Beaucoup de recommandations de lieux aux alentours forts utiles quand on y est sur un court séjour. Merci beaucoup mesdames pour votre accueil !

The house and location were perfect for what we needed. Teya and Helena are super friendly, and especially Helena, who at all times gave us tips and suggestions for activities that made our stay much better. I hope we can repeat the experience soon!

La casa y la ubicación estuvieron perfectas para lo que necesitábamos. Teya y Helena súper amables, y en especial Helena, que en todo momento nos dio consejos y sugerencias de actividades que hicieron nuestra estadía mucho mejor. ¡Ojalá podamos repetir pronto la experiencia!

This was a lovely place to stay - very private with a beautiful view out onto the rainforest. The pool was great too. Saw squirrel monkeys in the garden which was really cool. Very handy for Manual Antonio National Park and other beaches. The house itself was spacious, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed.

A truly unique place in the jungle that makes you feel like you’re living in your own private section of the forest, surrounded by monkeys, geckos, iguanas, and a variety of birds. It was the cherry on top of our trip to Costa Rica. The house is equipped with everything you might need during your stay. Check-in was extremely smooth with Helena, who also provided plenty of useful tips and local recommendations. Don’t skip the house manual on the countertop — it’s full of helpful information, especially if you’re planning to visit Manuel Antonio Park. I do wish there had been a king-size bed in the master bedroom, but it wasn’t a big deal since it was just the two of us in this spacious three-bedroom house. Stumpy iguana turned out to be a super shy guy, but the one on the right (next to the outdoor shower) ate all the bananas — so we named him Lavrentiy, and he seemed to like it! Thanks again and we hope to get back next year!

Thank you ate ya and Helena for opening up your home to my family. We had a wonderful visit and the accommodations were fantastic. Helena was very responsive to our needs and the property was beautiful. My boys loved the wildlife we saw in the mornings and the view of the forest was amazing.

Absolutely beautiful location. It was spacious and met our family's needs. Loved the pool and outdoor area. Would definitely stay again!

such a beautiful home a little hard to find at first due to the entrance blending in with the trees but other than that it was fine. Once you find it you will become more familiar with the location. Loved the pool was used often and got lots of wildlife visits from monkeys,sloths and lizards. All the rooms were great with big windows and great views. Would recommend if you like the wild life scenery.

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at Casa de la Reina. The Host(s)- Teya and Helana are true gems. Right from the start communication was quick, clear, and friendly. They both gave us lots of recommendations for things to do and were just genuinely nice people. The House- The house is breathtaking. The pool overlooks the jungle and we enjoyed watching monkeys swing through the trees while we swam. There are blue morpho butterflies and Iguanas in the backyard including "Stumpy" who lounges on a large stump and was adored by my kids. The house is well stocked and having access to a washer and dryer, grill, and fridge with ice maker is always appreciated. The Location- The house is down a winding gravel road, but clear instructions were provided and 4x4 was not required even during an epic rainstorm one day. We were able to drive to everywhere we wanted to go in town within 5 to 10 minutes and felt very safe at the property which has a lockable driveway gate. Thanks Teya and Helana!

This beautiful home in the jungle quickly became our favorite Airbnb of all time. Helena was so sweet and helpful during check in and gave us so many tips. We watching monkeys everyday from the pool and even saw a sloth climbing one of the trees one evening. Amazing birds and Mr. Stumpy and friends made an appearance.  Teya reached out to make sure everything was great. We felt so cared for and had an amazing time that we will never forget.

There truly aren't enough positive, glowing things to say about our stay at Teya's one-of-a-kind home. The home itself is beautiful, well-equipped with everything you could need, and in a truly stunning location. We woke up every day to the most adorable monkeys jumping from the canopy of trees that surrounds the house. Stumpy the resident Iguana is now the mascot of our friend group. The infinity pool was absolutely perfect, we went in every day. It was truly the most memorable Airbnb experience any of us have had--the wildlife, the peaceful yet vibrant energy, and above all, the incredible hospitality from Teya and Helena, who was the most welcoming, helpful, kind, and wonderful concierge on the ground. She helped us 24/7 with incredible recommendations and helped make our stay unforgettable. My friends and I are so grateful to have stayed here--we made memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you so much Teya and Helena!! Pura vida!

Teya’s house is a gem! Can’t think of any other place where the infinity pool opens up to your own private jungle. Teya and Helena were a pleasure to communicate with and were beyond helpful. 6 stars if I could!

Amazing house! Tenya and Helena are incredible hosts. We enjoyed our stay so much that it will become our place to stay every time we visit Manuel Antonio.

Incredible Wildlife Experience and Beautiful Stay! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this amazing Airbnb! The property is surrounded by nature and wildlife—every morning we were greeted by monkeys, and throughout our stay we saw toucans, a friendly sloth, majestic macaws, and of course, the resident iguana. It felt like living inside a nature documentary! The home itself was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, with everything we needed. The peaceful setting combined with the incredible wildlife made this one of our most memorable stays in Costa Rica. Highly recommend this place for anyone—we would absolutely come back! 🌿🦥🦜🐒

Stayed 20 nights. Construction next door; we were awakened by chain saw & backhoe. Dirt work just began, no notice given, work will go on for a while. Impossible to cool house. AC units in 3 bedrooms; owner had rules when we could use it. Someone would check house while we were gone & turn off all AC’s. House description stated Central Air Conditioning, which there was not. Ceiling & floor fans were extremely noisy. Gas stove top & oven had no pilot lights; lighter provided to light it. If gas is accidentally left on, house would blowup! No exhaust fan either, so heat stayed in the house. Unsafe No smoke or carbon monoxide alarms. Refrigerator/ice maker sounded like a freight train. Kitchen utensils were well worn; only 5 coffee cups, chipped plates, plastic cups were stained & smelled funny. They supply 1 bath & 1 pool towel/person. Cheap uncomfortable furniture. My friend had bladder cancer, soiled 1 towel, housekeeper found it, told owner who berated me & threatened $ charges.

It's a shame Airbnb does not have a way to post pictures on my review or share screenshots of your rude demands and dismissive remarks towards me or my cohost, to prove your inaccuracies and blatant lies. I wish I could post a picture of 1. the exhaust fan over the stove or 2. a screenshot of the description in our listing that states we only have A/C in the bedrooms or, after you blatantly lied that we didn't have enough towels: 3. the pictures of the linen closet, baskets and bathroom shelves crammed with extra bath, hand and pool towels OR 4. the picture of the EXTRA new towels I bought for you immediately after you complained that our bath and hand towels weren't good enough for you OR a picture to prove your 5. blatant lie that we only "supply 1 bath and 1 pool towel/person." (A ridiculous lie even if I HADN'T bought extra towels for you, and good thing I have a dated receipt I sent to airbnb to prove I did - it's just too bad I can't post the picture of it!) 6. I wish I could post the picture of the request I had asking you to turn off A/C when no one is in the house (electric is super expensive here and not everyone in the world has as much expendable cash as you). 7. You lied when you wrote: "someone would check house while we were gone and turn off all A/C's." The only reason why we knew the A/C was running is because my cohost asked if she could come by the home to grab something and you sent a message GIVING HER PERMISSION to go ahead and enter the home and that you were AT THE BEACH. She only realized A/ was on and running full-blast when she stepped inside the freezing-cold house, and so yes: she turned them off. 8. NOWHERE in our listing do we tell guests "when" they can use A/C, we only ask that they not waste it. 9. You told me that you've been to Costa Rica 7 times. Surely you must know by now that Costa Rica is a country that proudly supports green energy and that we work hard to reduce energy waste. (Or maybe you don't give a s**t because energy waste doesn't concern/affect you.) 10. Most all gas stoves here have a manual switch ignition that creates a spark which automatically lights the stovetop burners. Some cooks prefer to turn on the burner and ignite with a lighter. The oven has a pilot light inside a little circular chamber that requires a lighter to ignite and heat the stove. (Of course, you told us you wouldn't be cooking during your stay, so I doubt you ever had reason to open the oven.) 11. We knew somebody had bought the lot next to us some months back after it was cleared, but your mention of 'construction' going on is news to me. I appreciate the heads-up though, and will definitely alert arriving visitors, just as we alerted you immediately any time we were sent notices from the city about anything happening in our area. (After all, we are very transparent in our listing description about our home, our property, our rooms, our garden, our rules, our animal visitors, our climate, our storms, power outages, insects, etc... so why would we not mention construction to you if we knew about it?) 12. Speaking about helpful communication: as much as you complained (which was a LOT), it's super strange that you didn't tell us right away about the construction. And it's even stranger that after griping and complaining almost daily about mostly trivial things you chose NOT to tell us RIGHT AWAY of a potential safety issue, instead choosing to WAIT almost a WEEK to file a claim on airbnb instead. Yeah...I give you 5 stars for that brilliant example of passive-aggressive punishment. You da MAN! Anyway, I digress. Where was I? Oh, yes... 13. Not a surprise coming from you, but you are the very first visitor that has ever complained about our custom-made (and not cheap at all) furniture as being "uncomfortable." Ouch! 14. We always supply enough towels, bedding, plates, cups etc..PLUS extra for the amount of guests in the reservation. (For example, if there are 5 people in the group, we'll have ten towels.) We keep the extra supplies in storage cupboards where they can be easily found if guests need them. When you complained that there weren't enough towels put out for five people, we were a bit confused, as you only reserved for (and checked in with) THREE. It was only after we found out two more guests were due to arrive that we asked you to update the reservation). 15. The fact that your friend suffered from cancer is terrible. I feel for him, because I am also a cancer survivor (breast, brain, cervix and skin). I battled it my whole life, so I understand the challenges of dealing with cancer's aftermath. I don't have to deal with the necessary equipment your friend has to deal with. But if I did - I would be prepared when I travel and certainly bring medical supplies that include hygientic wipes and towels if my condition required it - or alert the host and ask if they would be able to supply a small list of things, and I'm willing to bet they would be happy to. (I offered to do just that, but you ignored my offer.) Instead, we had no idea until you asked for an extra cleaning and our housekeeper found TWO (not one) brand new wash towels we had just purchased for you, tossed on the floor for her to pick up, stained with blood and what appeared to be human waste. Because of course she had to dispose of the towels, she took pictures (which we require our cleaners to do anytime we have to replace something that's broken or badly stained) but we didn't mention anything to you, thinking someone had just had an unfortunate accident. I went and bought dark blue wash towels and left them at the house, telling a guest that they were 'for cleaning up spills or taking off makeup' in case anyone needed them. The SECOND time she went to clean, she found two more brand new white towels in the same condition, again tossed on the floor and underneath the bed - and that's when she noticed the medical equipment and tubes. It was only then that I sent you a message and told you as uncomfortable and awkward as the subject was, if you could please ask whomever was using the new white towels to clean up blood and other body fluids to please refrain from doing so. You told me: "My wife went around the house with the housekeeper and helped her gather towels and place them in the washer. There were no blood stained towels." (A lie - our housekeeper told us your wife only watched her as she collected them). You told me your wife "didn't see any bloody towels" (another lie, because the housekeeper had messaged us earlier with more pics and told us your wife was with her and they both saw the towels on the floor, and after your wife looked at the towel for a few seconds she walked away). Your response? "There were no blood stained towels." So I sent you the pictures with the time stamps. Your response? "As I said housekeeper said nothing about towel with blood to us." (Towel(S) Gary. Plural. And it wasn't housekeeper's job to inform you, and the housekeeper didn't need to say anything to you if it was her job, because your wife was STANDING NEXT TO HER when she saw them.) Anyway, I could on (and on and on) with more responses to your bullshi...er... raving review, but I've wasted enough time. I'm sincere when I say that I'm sorry you had what sounds like a terrible time. I hope soon you'll get over the trauma and forget about us the moment another host opens their doors to you. Peace.

Teya’s home is absolutely beautiful. The jungle surroundings are well-maintained. The pool was so great to have. The inside of the house was lovely. The concierge, Helena, was so incredibly helpful. It was a little hard for us to leave the space to venture out and do other things! What a wonderful peaceful home! I would highly recommend this to anyone and would definitely stay here again!

Phenomenal… absolutely one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed at! This house was everything it was described to be and more . We truly loved staying here and the host Helena was an angel! She really helped so much with recommendations and travel tips. I could not have asked for better experience, staying here made our trip to Costa Rica unforgettable !! Thank you so much Teya and Helena for allowing us to stay in this beautiful and one of a kind place.

Thank you for being such a great guest, Nazanin! We would welcome you back in a heartbeat. :)

All I can say is—wow!!  We stayed at Teya’s for 6 nights with our family and we created memories to last a lifetime.  I would absolutely recommend staying here.  Teya and Helena were great.  Helena helped with reservations etc. The house is perfect.  It was very clean and organized.  Very spacious.  It’s at the end of the road, the last house on the street, so it’s very private.  The road it’s on comes directly off of the main road that runs between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, so very convenient.  The grocery store was about a 5 minute drive away and it carried anything you might need.  The backyard and the nature and wildlife were sooooo amazing.  We had 3 types of monkeys (squirrel, capuchin and howlers)  in the trees around the house while we were there.  The squirrel monkeys came quite close to the pool area and we watched one munch on a HUGE grasshopper in front of us lol.   One day there must have been 10+ toucans in the trees around the yard.  It was a truly amazing experience.

We had a wonderful stay at Teya's place. The house is one of the best airbnb's we've stayed at. We wish we could have hung out in the garden and swimming pool more! It was beautiful to wake up each morning to the chirping of birds. Every bedroom has a nice glass sliding door looking over the garden. The house was well stocked. It felt amazingly private but was also conveniently located close to restaurants, shopping etc. If we visit again, we'll definitely want to book this place.

There were four of us in the house and it was a very nice vacation! Helena and Teya were available 24/7 and helped us a lot. The house is even nicer in person than in the pictures! You have your privacy and the view is so great because you were always on the lookout for animals. The bus stop is also a 5-minute walk away! Small tip: The road is a bit bumpy and we were glad to have had a backpack instead of a suitcase.

Wir waren zu viert in dem Haus und es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub! Helena und Teya waren rund um die Uhr erreichbar und haben uns sehr viel weitergeholfen. Das Haus ist in echt noch schöner als auf den Bildern! Man hat seine Privatsphäre und der Ausblick ist so toll, weil man immer auf der Lauer nach Tieren war. Die Bushaltestelle ist auch nur 5 Gehminuten entfernt! Kleiner Tipp: Straße etwas holprig und wir waren froh einen Rucksack anstatt einen Koffer gehabt zu haben.

Teya’s house is paradise. Our family had the most magical trip and staying here was such a huge part of that. The house is absolutely beautiful. The outside space is peaceful and natural, there are birds and greenery and privacy. It was near to lots of fun activities, restaurants and stores but away enough to be our own space. The bus is very accessible and was easy to use to get around. Teya met us and showed us around and was very friendly, helpful and easy to reach. Helena & Albeirto are also so nice. We would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area. This was a very happy place and we will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay in beautiful Costa Rica🇨🇷 Pura Vida.

Nicole, your family was wonderful And we could not have asked for better guests! We miss you guys already and please come back soon!

Everything about this place is 100% perfect. From the communication, the location, the house, the pool, the wildlife, the price, etc. Highly recommend booking this place!

I’m so happy we had the opportunity to host your incredible family, Will! Your Wife and kids are amazing, I really got it chuckle out of your daughter, she is a hoot! I hope you guys come back and visit us and get a chance to stay longer, your family Is officially on my list of favorite guests! 🤗

We stayed for two nights with another couple.  The property is in a lovely clearing in the forest.  We were visited by three species of monkeys, iguanas, and many butterflies.  From the pool we watched a hummingbird tend to her two babies in her nest.  The home was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a few home-cooked meals.  Location is great for Manuel Antonio\Quepos exploring.  We would definitely stay here again if ever back in the region.

Hi James, I’m embarrassed to see that for some reason your review did not go through, but please know that I gave you five stars and would have given you more had I been allowed to. You were awesome guests, and we loved hosting you, and it was really fun reading your messages about the wildlife. And thank you very much for the private message, it was very very helpful. You were wonderful Guest, I hope you come back and visit again!

Teya's place felt like a true home for us. My family and I were immediately comfortable, and the atmosphere of the surroundings was simply fantastic.

Oh My God ! This has to be my favorite place I’ve stayed at. This house is truly a gem. This house is beautiful. Location is peaceful but yet so accessible to activities and tons of restaurants.Helena is the best part of the house! She is the sweetest and helped us plan a catamaran, tour of Manuel Antonio park, dinner with a private chef and airport transport. The chef Terry was exceptional. Her food was the best we had the whole trip and she genuinely loved seeing us enjoy her food. I would 100% recommend this place. Thank you Teya for having us!

We enjoyed Casa Reina very much. The house is fantastic. The hosts' tips were very helpful. We enjoyed every second in this special and natural place and are glad we discovered it. The equipment was very good. The pool is perfect. The view of the forest and background noise is unforgettable - we were only there for a short time but observed hummingbird, lizard and monkeys on the property.

Casa Reina hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Haus ist ein Traum. Die Tipps der Gastgeber waren sehr hilfreich. Wir haben jede Sekunde an diesem besonderen und naturnahen Ort genossen und sind froh, dass wir ihn entdeckt haben. Die Ausstattung war sehr gut. Der Pool ist perfekt. Der Ausblick in den Wald samt Geräuschkulisse ist unvergesslich - wir waren nur kurz da aber haben auf dem Grundstück Kolibri, Echse und Affen beobachtet.

Just wow!!! Honestly, we've stayed in loads of Airbnbs over the years and this is the best! If you're looking for accommodation in this area, just book it. You won't regret it! The house is stunning - well furnished and extremely well equipped. The beds are so comfy, the showers great, good aircon, absolutely incredible pool and terrace, and the concierge Helena, and owner, Taya are so helpful! We've sat outside eating breakfast each day, whilst watching capuchins, toucans, iguanas and a host of other wildlife... bliss! You'll need a car or to arrange transport to get to places but that's doable - we drove and didn't have any issues. Honestly, you'd be crazy to book anywhere else! 100/10!!

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! Truly a phenomenal AirBnB experience. First, the host was a true queen---so incredibly warm, welcoming, responsive, and helpful! She put us in touch with her concierge in advance and the concierge, Helena, was also terrific! Helena gave us recommendations for our entire trip, including in Monteverde and booked tours for us. The host's book is thorough and has great recommendation for the whole area. The AirBnB is beautiful and spotless. The location is fantastic. It's right between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, so it's easy to get to everything but you are a little bit removed, so it's very peaceful. We spent a lot of time just wading in the pool and watching the jungle. One example of the host being just amazingly gracious and generous: I stupidly stepped on one of the pool chairs to try to take a picture of a monkey and I ripped the chair. I offered to pay to replace the $200 chair and the host *refused.* Highly recommend!

The stay quite nice, very private and quiet. The truth is great for a getaway from the city

La estadía bastante agradable, muy privado y tranquilo. La verdad genial para pegarse una escapada de la ciudad

Teya and Helena were extremely available to communicate. Gave great recommendations on taxis and restaurants and tours. Arranged all that for us. The place is a little hard to get to and find, but they gave great directions (with pictures) to find it. The house was actually more beautiful than the pictures. Loved sitting by the pool just watching the monkeys, butterflies, iguanas and birds (including the macaws flying overhead). Very private and peaceful. Loved the open plan and windows to enjoy the view all the time.

Teya and her concierge Helena were amazing and so helpful throughout our stay.   We love the location and got to see amazing wildlife.   Beautiful and comfortable and safe place with all we needed to end and more to end our beautiful vacation in Costa Rica.

Very beautiful house with an impressive view of the rain forest.  We saw monkeys and Aras directly from the terrace. The place was spotless and our host, Helena was very friendly and available.

Très belle maison avec une vue impressionnante sur la forêt tropicale.  Nous avons vu des singes et des Aras directement à partir de la terrasse. Les lieux étaient impeccables et notre hôte, Helena fut très avenante et disponible.

Casa de la Reina was perfect for our stay in Manuel Antonio! Nestled in the jungle but still close to Quepos and Manuel Antonio, Teya's home offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. The house is comfortable, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained. The pool and deck area were highlights, with daily visits from monkeys and other wildlife. Teya and her concierge, Helena, were incredibly responsive and provided excellent local recommendations. This stay exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return! Highly recommended for a perfect Costa Rican getaway.

We were doing a road trip throughout Costa Rica and had many Airbnb‘s all over the country. My family and I all voted that Taya‘s place was our favorite. We felt right at home. We had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable the kitchen was well stacked. The dining table outside made for wonderful family meals. The cold water pool was refreshing. And the concierge Helena was in constant communication with us and had answers to all our corrections and wonderful recommendations. We recommend this place for wonderful family vacation in the Manuel Antonio area!

My family had a wonderful time at Teya's house. Teya is very kind, attentive, and always willing to assist. She even helped us arrange for local car rentals and even the idea of using the small plane shuttle flights into Quepos to avoid the 3+hour car ride from San Jose. Everything went smoothly without a hitch. We met Helena, our concierge who was also wonderful. She was always quick to answer our messages and was fully prepared for advice and suggestions for the area. The home was beautiful and situated off the main road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio up a side street tucked away in a lush jungle surrounding. The landscaping was amazing with many different tropical plants, then merges into the wild forest. The home is well equipped with everything you need including coffee supplies and other goodies. You can't go wrong for the value, location, and quality of the people and home!

Our family absolutely loved staying at Casa de la Reina! What a beautiful house, with anything you might need for a restful and comfortable stay! Thanks Helena and Teya for the wonderful memories and the stellar local recommendations 💕

This house is a gem in the jungle and a dream come true for nature lovers. Teya was incredibly communicative. Her booklet of advice was so helpful and the concierges and house manager made things very easy. We had a wonderful stay and recommend it to all.

We had a great time staying here.  The back yard is incredible and we enjoyed our nights and evenings by the pool and spending time watching the wildlife and listening to the rainforest.  The home was beautiful, beds were comfy and the A/C made the bedrooms comfortable to sleep in.  We got great tips from the host on activities and locations, tours and restaurants.  They were attentive helpful and professional in every way.  I highly recommend this for a great place to unwind and relax for a week.

The house has everything you need to enjoy your stay, spacious, comfortable and very warm, we really are more than eager to come back

La casa tiene todo lo que necesitas para disfrutar tu estadia, amplia, comoda y muy calida, de verdad que quedamos más que con ganas de volver

Absolutely fabulous place. We will leave Costa Rica with many memories and much gratefulness for having found the absolute perfect lodging… check-in was flawless. the state was lovely. Would return in a heartbeat.

We had a great few days at Teya’s house in Quepos. The house is beautiful and clean and matches the photos and description. The back deck and pool area is fantastic and a great place to eat and relax. The bedrooms all have air conditioning which are amazing. The house is secluded but still a close drive to restaurants in Manuel Antonio, the beach, and the national park. Helena, Teya’s “concierge,” was very helpful with recommendations, including Alejandro’s Surf Shop for surfing lessons, which was fantastic. One note, if you are planning to go to the beach — you might want to bring your own towels for that.

Paradise, we slept very well, the amenities in the kitchens were perfect and very useful, the environment was beautiful, we really enjoyed the pool and biodiversity.

Paradisiaque, nous avons très bien dormi, les équipements dans la cuisines étaient parfait et très utiles, l’environnement était magnifiques, nous avons vraiment apprécié la piscine et la biodiversité.

This place was beautiful and exactly what we needed at the end of our Costa Rican vacation. The pool and grounds are amazing and we saw howler and squirrel monkeys, toucans and iguanas. Teya and Gabrielle were so responsive and provided so many local recommendations and the house manual was very detailed and comprehensive. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area who are visiting Manuel Antonio Park.

Such a pleasure to host your lovely family - come back soon!

I have been traveling to various locations in Costa Rica for over 20 years and this has been my favorite place I have stayed. The mixture of peaceful, gorgeous and private surroundings mixed with a surprising lack of insects in a jungle location, a lovely pool and comfortable and well-equipped home is perfect. Then you add in the responsive and incredibly helpful team of Helena and Teya and you can’t beat it. I want to tell you not to stay here so it’s more likely to be available for us next time we visit. You will not regret booking this place! Thank you for everything, Helena and Teya!

We loved hosting you, Angela. (And don't worry, we will always be glad to save dates for you if you want to come back and visit!) All the best to you! Teya & Helena

This home is absolutely stunning! It was nice having the concierge Helena when we arrived to show us around the home and give local recommendations. The pool was nice to come back and relax in after spending the day in the sun. the bedrooms had AC.  We had a troop of white face monkeys one morning and a troop of howlers another. Got to see lots of frogs around the pool and iguanas including Stumpy every day. Enjoyed all the paintings and art in the home. This home is by far better than the photos and I would highly recommend!

Our family had an amazing stay here! The house is new and has a great layout. The pool was perfect, the patio area was excellent. We watched monkeys in the trees, parrots flying above, and Stumpy the iguana was fun to watch! The house is close to amazing restaurants and bars, shopping, beaches and activities. But above all, the host and co host, Teya and Helena are the best! The welcome guide highlighted the best places to see in the area. They both responded so fast to any additional questions we had along the way. We were able to make the most of our 6 days here because of their recommendations. An absolute gem of a house in a beautiful location. We hope to visit Costa Rica again and would love to stay at Casa de la Reina!

Teya’s place was amazing. We enjoyed the monkeys stopping by everyday and all the beautiful birds and the sounds of the jungle! Teya’s communication was amazing! Helena is the lady who takes care of the house and she was extremely welcoming and a joy to talk to. She answered many questions and even gave us some suggestions for our next stop in Costa Rica! Thanks Taya and Helena for a great place to stay!!

Such a beautiful home! We had plenty of activities to keep us busy in MA but really enjoyed our days just relaxing poolside. The location is great- so close to everything and endless options for great places to eat but really private setting with tons of wildlife. We looked forward to the daily visits from monkeys and the resident iguanas. Both Teya and Helena were very helpful with recommendations and communication was super easy. I would absolutely stay again and really appreciate the experience! Thank you.

This place is beautiful!! It is nestled in the jungle with a lovely pool. Teya was an amazing host - very helpful and communicative- and her concierge Helena was super informative as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It is very close to town and lots of great restaurants and a short drive to Manuel Antonio park. We also saw monkeys in the backyard 😊 The rooms are comfortable and our group of 5 fit easily in the space. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need, the AC is great, and check in and out was easy. Thank you!

This house is beautiful and on the edge of the jungle. We had lots of wildlife passing through which was a truly wonderful experience. The kitchen is well equipped although we didn't really use it. Would be great for a family or 2 couples (as we were) It was lovely to have the pool to use whenever we wanted, early morning or late at night. Local walkable Hotel Restaurant and another couple of local restaurants were good. At the suggestion of Chris we also used the local bus to Manuel Antonio and Quepos which ran very frequently and was cheap! Chris was also super helpful booking a night walk for us. Teya is a very helpful host. She checked that we were alright throughout our stay. Thank you for letting us stay! 😊

Hi Paula! Thank you so much for being wonderful guests, and thank you for the private note: we will definitely correct that issue!

Place is exactly as described. Teya was a very responsive host. Her guide book was helpful and gave very clear instructions for getting there. She went above and beyond to get our kitchen tap fixed when it unexpectantly broke and got my mother in law a bread rollar when she inquired if they had one in the kitchen. The backyard pool deck area is the best part of the home. It was beautiful to wake up to every morning. I just wish there was an AC in the living room area because it got very hot even when the doors and windows were closed. Location was great if you have a car everything is within a 10 minute drive.

You were fabulous guests, Nancy! We are taking note of the kitchen area and I hope having a induction unit of some type might help keep it cooler in there. We hope to have you visit us again some day!

Our stay was great! The pool is really the highlight of the house amazing and surrounded by forest

Sarah, you and your group were wonderful, thank you for visiting!

The location of the house allowed us to see monkeys the two mornings we were there. For our guys it was a beautiful experience. The house is very practical, well located to access the beaches and Manuel Antonio Park. Teya communicates perfectly with us.

La ubicacion de la casa nos permitio ver monos las dos mañanas que estuvimos. Para nuestros chicos fue una hermosa experiencia. La casa es muy practica, bien ubicada para acceder a las playas y parque Manuel Antonio. Teya se comunico perfectamente con nosotros.

Gracias, Alejandro. ¡Fue un placer recibirlo!

If this house is available when checking out on airbnb . Book immediately!!! The pictures do not do it justice. Teya was amazing she answered all of our questions about Costa Rica and the house ( I had a lot). She arranged a private dinner for our first evening. It was amazing and such an affordable price. After a long day of travel it was perfect. The back yard was like being in Emanuel Antonio Park we seen three different species of monkeys, Tuscan, coati, agouti the morph butterfly and so much more. It was amazing to sit and just enjoy nature and let the stress of back home slide away. The infinity pool was perfect temperature to cool down. All the bedrooms walk out to the deck which was amazing. The house is bright fully stocked and gorgeous. The house is gated, we were relaxed! Stumpy is cute to see from the deck I can’t say enough of this place we were sad to leave and would book in a heart beat.

Loved hosting you, Lisa! It was a pleasure!

Teya was a wonderful host, we enjoyed our time so much!  The house is great, the views from the pool are amazing!  We got to see lots of birds and a few monkeys from the deck.  Could not recommend staying here more.

We could not have asked for better guests!

OMG, amazing stay in La Reina! A big favorite for the whole family! First, the house is beautiful, very well equipped, spacious, and spotless . The terrace is exceptional, with the perfect balance of comfort, luxury and immersion in nature. And all that, a stone's throw from all services. Teya is a perfect host, proactive and responsive, warm and accommodating. A big thank you to the whole team for this unforgettable stay!

Wow, incroyable séjour à La Reina! Un grand coup de cœur pour toute la famille! Tout d’abord, la maison est magnifique, très bien équipée, spacieuse, et impeccable . La terrasse est exceptionnelle, avec le parfait équilibre entre le confort, le luxe et l’immersion en nature. Et tout ça, à un jet de pierre de tous les services. Teya est une hôte parfaite, à la fois proactive et réactive, chaleureuse et accommodante. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour ce séjour inoubliable!

Thank you, Marie-Claude, for choosing us for your family's stay: such kind and excellent people, we really enjoyed hosting you and hope you come back to visit!

Teya and Casa de la Reina is an amazing place to stay in the jungle while still being a close distance to town. She arranged an amazing chef for first night (best decision after long drive and cheaper then going out). Her guide book is spot on for all her recommendations. She helped me figure out reservations for NYE. Get your park passes early as they are limiting amount and closed on Tuesdays. Bring swim suit. Hire a Guide. Teya house and pool are amazing. We saw parrots, lots of monkeys and other local animals. It is a windy path to the house and road is dark to town at night so we drove. This is an amazing spot! 10 stars if I could give them.

Hi Gretha! I'm so happy to have had the honor of hosting you at our Queen and we would love to have you back if you ever come our way again. You were a lot of fun to host! Cheers and all the best to you and fam!

The house is clean, nice, comfortable, everything excellent

La casa limpia, linda, comoda, todo excelente

Thank you for choosing us, Jeffry! I hope you have an amazing 2024 and beyond!

Teya's home is in a stunning and private setting. The home itself is in great condition, beds are comfortable, rooms are spread out nicely and though we didn’t use it, the kitchen was very well equipped. What stood out was the spectacular back deck area. There is so much wildlife to hear and see, and it's so peaceful. i could have stayed in hammock all day. it poured for one of our 3 days and we felt so fortunate that was our day in MA bc sitting outside on the deck protected from rain was so lovely that we didn't regret the loss of a beach day. The home is quite secluded (and secure), but only 10-15 min from great restaurants. We didn't use the pool but it was very clean. Teya was always reachable and very helpful/ flexible. I personally would not have felt comfortable without a 4-wheel drive as we went in and out a lot and the road is quite bumpy, but I felt that way about many roads we drove on. Enjoy!!
