2BR house in Manuel Antonio

Wonderful house with Infinity Pool - Houses for Rent in Quepos, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

The place is paradise and service was impeccable. Our family had a great stay!

We had a fantastic stay in this wonderful Airbnb. Great space, lovely pool & easy to walk to restaurants and bus stop. Communication was fantastic with local recommendations & flexibility during check out when we needed to stay on a little longer to sort an issue with our flight (as no immediate follow on booking). Would highly recommend!

Karen’s place was exactly how it looked in the pictures. Everything needed was there at the house. We didn’t want to leave it was such a peaceful stay.

Very nice home! Great location!  Excellent host! I'd love to stay here again!

We had a great stay as a family! The host was very responsive and answered my questions almost immediately. She was so friendly and offered lots of helpful tips about the area! The house was comfortable and felt very safe. We loved the beautiful yard and pool. Definitely a great stay in the Manuel Antonio area. We hope to come back another time!

I wish we could have stayed forever but we had to come home for our baby girl but if they could have shipped her to us… It felt like a dream to wake up to the jungle right outside your window, eat some of the best fruit on the porch and watch the toucans, walk down the street and watch a soccer game, or eat at Soda Angel and watch the sunset. It’s a perfect location. We are absolutely in love with Costa Rica and had the best stay here, even the weather cleared up just in time for our stay! The house was amazing the a/c was sooo good, the pool was perfect after a hot walk around the neighborhood, the washer and dryer helped us so much as this was the 2nd half of our trip. It had everything we needed and then a few extras that really showed the owners care! Tons of great activities close by we honestly would have been fine without a car staying here, you really have everything you need for a great Costa Rica vacation within a 5-20 minute walk. We would love to return to Casa Paldea!

Good location that provides easy access to all things in Manuel Antonio and Quepos. Host was very responsive and provided great tips for the area. Check-in and check-out were very easy. Overall it was a great stay. Only a couple small things could make this place even better…the pool needed a good cleaning, the beds were quite hard, and the shower backed up/drained very slow.

Thank you again for choosing us for your stay. We appreciate your feedback as we strive to provide a better service every day !

The accommodation offers everything you need, even for cooking. The view into the forest is great, and we were able to see some animals. The contact with Lorena was particularly nice and helpful! The house is very cozy and we felt comfortable. The proximity to the national park and restaurants was great!

Die Unterkunft bietet alles was man braucht, auch zum kochen. Der Blick in den Wald ist super und wir konnten einige Tiere sehen. Der Kontakt mit Lorena war besonders nett und hilfreich! Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich und wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Die Nähe zum Nationalpark und Restaurants war super!

Such a great stay! We saw almost as many animals in the back yard as we did in the national park!

Extremely peaceful home in a brilliant location. Well maintained, private and safe with great places to visit within walking distance.

Very nice accommodation, well located. The bathroom door was broken, but the host explained to us right away why it hadn’t been repaired yet, and it didn’t bother us. The accommodation was very clean and well-equipped.

Très beau logement, bien situé. La porte de la salle de bain était brisée, mais l’hôte nous d’emblée indiqué pourquoi elle n’était pas encore réparée et cela ne nous a pas incommodé. Le logement était très propre et bien équipé.

We had a great time at your house, which is very well equipped and very clean, and we really loved the pool! Thank you so much!!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à votre maison qui est très bien équipée, très propre et nous avons vraiment aimé la piscine! Merci beaucoup!!

Great place. Exactly as described. Excellent hosts who really helped us to get a last-minute guided tour of the national park. Everything was great. I would gladly come back.

Super Unterkunft. Genau wie beschrieben. Top Gastgeber, die uns super geholfen haben noch eine last minute geführte Tour im Nationalpark zu bekommen. Alles war super. Gerne wieder.

Thanks for staying with me. We would be happy to come back at any time. There is so much more to see.

Our group agreed that we would likely give this place an overall rating of 3.5 stars. I want to so badly be able to give it a higher rating as it has great potential and plenty going for it. We had booked this place particularly because it had 2 washrooms. The second washroom, which is situated downstairs right by the kitchen, door was off the track and nearly impossible to close and if you did you would get stuck in the bathroom. We had reported this immediately to the host and since we were staying for 4 nights would have expected a better effort to rectify this during our stay. They were even aware of the issue and said their cleaning staff had reported it to them earlier in the day. After being reported they said they would get in touch with their carpenter and we never heard from them again until check out. We also found it lacking in details and the pool tile could use a good clean, also only book if you like hard beds. Otherwise location is good and we enjoyed the living room.

Unfortunatly the carpinter couldnt solve this problem with the sider immidiatly. He has to open the wall and this repaire needs minimum 2 full days. I dont want to bother you during zour vacation. To rank this wonderful house with only 3 stars is a shame. Thanks god most other guests love the house and gave mostly 5 stars

Our family of 4 (2 teen boys) really enjoyed our stay. The pool was relaxing and it was quiet at night. It was a short walk to some shops and the local football field. Katrin offered suggested activities and arranged a night jungle tour for us - highly recommend it!

Perfect place to stay in Manuel Antonio. The pool is Perfect for kids! The kitchen was the best we had during our stay in Costa Rica. Easy and Nice communications with Katrin. Want to come back, and hope to see you again <3

Very nice house, nicely decorated with taste, numerous amenities, very nice terrace, perfect small pool! Katrin is a super nice hostess: thanks to her!

Maison très agréable, joliment décorée avec goût, équipements nombreux, terrasse très agréable, petite piscine parfaite! Katrin est une hôtesse super sympa : merci à elle!

The property was really nice and we enjoyed the space.  Only a couple of small items to mention…toilet paper holder needs replaced and water from the shower sprays on the floor outside of the shower. But all else is absolutely beautiful and comfortable and I felt completely safe and comfortable in the area. There’s a great restaurant called Vista Verde right up the street, as well as a couple of small markets.

Casa Paldea was the perfect stay for our family of 5. The kids loved the pool, and were thrilled to see the monkeys and wildlife in the backyard. The house was very well decorated and functional, and had everything we needed. Both the house and the yard were very clean. Can walk to supermarkets and restaurants in the area and drive to lots of other amenities in the area. We booked our excursions through Katrin which I would highly recommend. We did a night jungle tour, Manuel Antonio tour, and catamaran tour and she set them all up for us. On each tour the guides and companies were great and we were part of a small group.

Nice place with comfy living space. Saw Sloths and lots of monkeys. Close to great restaurants and beaches.

Enjoyed the privacy and accessibility to stores and restaurants. Loved seeing the monkeys every day and other wildlife.

Thank you very much Sherry. Please come back anytime

Great location, backyard wildlife visitors were fantastic, good spot if you’re not renting a vehicle, easy to get around, lots of conveniences nearby.

Love the location to the beach.  Wonderful place.

Great place, near the city. 
Infinite pool was nice for the kids, house was clean.
We were happy to see monkeys almost every day.

Great place, near the city. Infinite pool was nice for the kids, house was clean. We were happy to see monkeys almost every day.

It was a pleasure to have you and your wonderful family

The house would be excellent if the owner kept up with maintenance. Fans are loud, slow and buzzing. They are obvious fire hazards and there are no smoke detectors in the house ( a requirement for rentals in Costa Rica). One of the fan lights had water dripping out of it, a clear fire/electrocution hazard. The upstairs toilet seat was too small exposing a large portion of the rim (often with urine on it) to bare legs. Also, one of the pillow cases had vomit on it when we arrived. Both of these issues are unsanitary biohazards. The downstairs bathroom sliding door needs to be physically held shut when using the bathroom, a privacy issue. The shower drain does not drain leaving you standing in dirty water. The house flooded inside during a rainstorm. There is no surround sound, only a broken small Bluetooth speaker and no arcade games. Also, know that you must place dirty toilet paper in the trash, it cannot be flushed in the toilet. What would be a wonderful house is severely neglected.

This guest try to blackmail me: give me a refund or I will write a bad review. Not with me and here is the untruth review. ( AIRBNB IST INFORMED ABOUT THIS GUEST) It's a new house with the best supplies who you can get in CR. Check all other reviews to get an honest impression of this wonderful house

Great place & near everything writhing 2-5 mins. Host was very accommodating. We came during Christmas and the place was decorated and felt very warm & festive. It was a nice touch. Host gave us amazing hiking & food reco’s. But we also explored and found 2-3 spots right up the road that were amazing. I’d come back anytime w my family Love love

My wife and I stayed for 6 nights, and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The location is great to travel a couple hours north, south, or east and get to see a little bit of it all. The pool is great after a long day to relax before bed. The electric gate provided an extra sense of security as well! Overall a great home to stay in!

Thank you very much, Robert. Please come back anytime

Leonard and Katrin’s place was lovely. It was very private, and the backyard pool was backing onto a lush green jungle backdrop where we saw monkeys and lizards daily! The location is great, as you are minutes to the beaches of Manuel Antonio (driving) and can walk to restaurants, cafes and activities like zip lining. Katrin was very responsive, and even when we struggled to find the place when we arrived late at night (there are no street names so you have to look for landmarks, which was tricky in the dark!), she answered right away and made sure we found the spot. Our kids loved the pool and having a washing machine was great for our longer vacation. We Would definitely stay here again!!

Oh yes, please come back anytime. It was a pleasure to have you

Excellent, comfortable property, exactly as shown in the pictures. We did have an issue the first night but this was dealt with promptly. Would definitely recommend.

a dream house! beautiful living room with barbecue outside by the pool. The host is very friendly too. I would return a thousand times!

una casa soñada! hermoso living con barbecue afuera junto a la pileta. El host muy amable tambien. Volveria una y mil veces!

Thank you for coming! I am glad you enjoyed your stay!

The owners were kind enough to meet us as we were in a pinch and needed something immediately. They came in person to meet us and drive us to the property and escort us in and show us around.

Thank you for visiting! Glad to help out!

Great house, great pool, great animal guests, great air con, great living area, great kitchen. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Frank. It was a pleasure to have you

Casa Paldea was such a great basecamp for my families' adventures in the Manuel Antonio area. One of the highlights of our entire time in the area was this house, it's location and amenities.  There was nothing that we needed that was not provided. The back patio and pool that just dropped off into the jungle was magical. Morning coffee Everday was a new adventure. We would be visited by both capuchin and squirrel monkeys every morning and evening. A few mornings the howler monkeys were so loud, in an awesome way! We felt very safe in the area, walking to restaurants for dinner and the nearby grocery store. What a wonderful place and experience. So close to everything you'd want to do in the Manuel Antonio area. My young boys made lifetime memories here!!!  Thank you!!!

I am so happy to hear that. It was a pleasure to have you and your wonderful family

We had a great stay at Leonard’s home! It is in the center of a lot of different activities and places, is a cozy space with lots of room, plenty of amenities particularly in the kitchen, and beautiful backyard and pool with forest views. We also appreciated the laundry machines to wash our clothes mid trip!

We had a brilliant time in Manuel Antonio made all the more special by the accommodation. The house was perfect for our visit, clean and very spacious. Being on the edge of the national park we were able to observe the amazing wildlife whilst chilling in the pool (monkeys, Scarlet Macaws, and the white -tailed deer, being our personal favourites!). The hosts were very attentive, offered some great recommendations, and dealt with any issues swiftly.

Thank you very much. It was a pleasure to have you

The host was amazing and the property is well supported.  We were met by the host and guided through everything which made us feel very prepared for the stay.  Leonard was very proactive and quick to handle any of our needs.  As for the house it is better than the photos and we loved the view into nature.  It truly made the trip feel special and like we were immersed in the natural Costa Rica.  It’s also conveniently located near a good market to supply any travel or grocery needs.

We had an amazing stay and Leonard was fantastic and speedy in all communications.  The photos do not do the house justice - it is beautiful and we saw so much wildlife from the garden and pool from monkeys, toucans, scarlett macaws and gheckos - highly recommend!!!

I am glad you enjoyed your stay! The wildlife is always a highlight!

Initially things were fine. The house is modern and the AC worked great. The backyard is lovely, but the construction noise nearby made it hard to enjoy. The beds are very firm so we bought foam toppers for our 5 week stay. 48 hours before checkout I organized my backpack for departure. My wallet had been inside the whole trip and I went through it. I had a credit card and bank card with my ID. I also had an envelope of cash in a special pocket. The backpack never left the house. We checked out and as we are driving to our next destination I get a fraud alert that someone had tried to charge almost $2K on my card. I immediately checked my wallet and both my credit card and debit card along with the cash were gone. My backpack never left my possession once I left the house. The only way into the house is a code on the front door. The numbers of the code were the only ones worn so it seems it wasn’t being changed. Someone used that code to take our things. There is no other explanation.

I am sad to hear your stay was soured in such  a way, but if there had been a break in there would have been signs and other things would be missing. Can you guarantee you did not lose your money somewhere else? I can not.

Home was beautiful, comfortable, and peaceful. We had everything we could have needed. We would definitely stay here again, and have already recommended it to friends! Thank you!

This is such a beautiful home, my husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. The view is amazing, we loved sitting on the balcony in the morning, even spotted some parrots one day. The house is modern and clean. We also appreciated the gated in parking spot. Would stay here again, thank you!

It was a pleasure to have you. Come back anytime

Great stay in a good location. Walking around Manuel Antonio is tough due to narrow roads and traffic, but the location was convenient and we were able to walk to the excellent Indian restaurant, Namaste, no problems. Recommendations and help organizing outings were also excellent. Great service and a very comfortable stay.

Spacious, clean home in scenic surroundings. The house is located between downtown Quepos and the restaurants/hotels down by Manuel Antonio park. Private secure parking inside the villa - there are a couple of small restaurants and grocery stores in walking distance, but you’ll want a car to get around. The view looking out from the back patio/pool was beautiful, and we got to watch monkeys playing in the trees (also heard the howler monkeys at 3 am - the sound is amazingly creepy!) House was very clean and having a washer/dryer there was wonderful. They could provide more bath towels though - things don’t dry very quickly in the humidity down here, so we washed/dried them more than necessary. They also didn’t provide extra trash bags which was annoying since you can’t flush TP here. Only big downside was the construction noise - they’re actively building a house or two right next door, and workers started at 6 am every day including Sunday. Overall a great stay though!

Katrin was very helpful and responded very quickly to all of our questions. Casa Paldea was a wonderful place to relax after our adventures. It was very warm during our stay and the pool and air conditioning was fantastic. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and with our rental car we were able to get wherever we needed easily. We definitely recommend Casa Paldea!

Thank you very much, Anna. Please come back anytime

This place was absolutely amazing! Our family is 2 adults, 3 kids ages 7, 9, and 11. The kids enjoyed the pool whenever we weren't out adventuring. Leonard and Katrin do a wonderful job suggesting nearby adventures. We followed their direction and visited Los Campesinos which was beautiful! Having a washer and dryer was a huge blessing in Costa Rica as this allowed us to pack lighter and do laundry mid-week. The house is immaculate and well-equipped, including AC. All cookware / dinnerware was provided. The beds are very comfortable. Also, the house is gated and feels very safe where it is located. There were a few animals that would visit us in the backyard daily, birds and Agouti. Additionally, a few mornings we had capuchin and / or howler monkeys right in the backyard! About a 5 minute drive from Manuel Antonio and far enough out of downtown Quepos to avoid the hustle and bustle. Highly highly highly recommend. If we go back we will try to stay in the same place!

The home was very nice, a convenient location to many restaurants and easy drive to the beach. Kids enjoyed the pool and parents enjoyed the beautiful garden.

we had a lovely stay at Leonards house. it was beautiful and even nicer than the pictures. The pool was very clean, warm, and perfect after a day of touring around. highly reccomend.

What a perfect home! We (family of four with two young kids) absolutely loved our stay here. It’s close to the national park and all the beaches. The home is spotless and comfortable. It had everything we needed. We loved the pool and sitting outside, listening to and watching the birds. We would stay here again!

A lovely place for our five night stay. The house is super comfortable with plenty of space for us. It's a five minute walk to Joseth supermarket that has everything you need and a 5 minute drive to a number of lovely restaurants with great views over the sea (La terraza and Emilios to name a couple. We had a great meal at Cerdo Feliz though. Very fresh seafood at reasonable prices. The best thing about the house though is watching the wildlife from the terrace as you sit having your coffee. we saw Cappucin, squirrel & howler monkeys as well as Macaws and toucans. Overall we loved it and would love to  come back again sometime

We had a magical week at the Casa Paldea! The location is perfect- walkable to grocery and a few restaurants but the property felt very private as it backed into the trees. The house is very clean - we were paranoid about bugs but only saw even a couple during our stay. The pool and back deck are a perfect home base when not out enjoying the little beach town and all it has to offer. We have forwarded the listing to several friends to recommend it for their next stay!

We stayed for 5 weeks and the house was well equipped for a longer stay. The pool was perfect for the stretch of very hot weather we had while we were there and the backyard was amazing - lots of monkeys, toucan's, mackaw's and agouti's. Lots of restaurants and stores in walking distance. There is lots of construction going on which is great to see, but it also has it's challenges on noise and debris around. Only thing missing for us was a small microwave for quick heating options on lazy days! We very much enjoyed our stay there.

Hello Gorgette, it was a pleasure to have you. Insteed of a microwave I offer that amazing toaster oven with convection function. Its also very fast and so much healthier as a microwave. I am a nutricionist and try to keep my guests healthy. Please come back anytime

The stay was great. The house is just like the photos. Pending and attentive hosts with all questions and needs. Recommended 💯 %

La estancia ha sido genial. La casa es tal cual las fotos. Anfitriones pendientes y atentos con todas las dudas y necesidades. Recomendable 💯 %

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay. The space was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The setting was beautiful and the host was so helpful with recommendations for restaurants and activities. Some highlights were our tour of MA National Park with Roy, Ronnie’s, Soda Angeles, and Nauyaca Waterfalls Nature Park. We enjoyed spending time by the pool and walking to nearby restaurants. It was a quick drive to MA National Park and beautiful beaches. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much, Mary. It would be great to have you again

Great place to stay in Manuel Antonio area.

We really enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were very responsive, the house was clean and homey and it was even decorated for Christmas when we arrived. Great location as well!

Lovely Airbnb at a great location close to restaurants and mini super. Hosts were very helpful and responsive. Lots of wildlife in backyard but you are very close to your neighbours (not as secluded as it looks in photos).

Thank you so much. Please come back anytime

Fantastic property with a lovely pool and a great patio to watch animals. Excellent communication with host, thoroughly enjoyable stay

Thank you very much, Carl. Come back anytime

Beautiful home with all the amenities except a microwave. Close to all of the local activities.

Thank you, Gina. I am a nutricionist and know how unhealthy Microwaves are. Thats the reason that I offer rather a toaster ofen instead of a microwave.

Leonard’s place is great! Close from everything! The pool was amazing but the most beautiful thing was the fauna getting into the back yard every day !! Very recommended!!!

As a family, we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The many animals behind the house and pool were very entertaining. A big thank you also to Katrin.

Als Familie haben wir den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die vielen Tiere hinter dem Haus und der Pool waren sehr unterhaltsam. Ein grosses Dankeschön auch an Katrin.

Place was great . Pool was refreshing. Kitchen had all appliances. Very clean.

Beautiful cottage. What is especially pleasant is that everything is just right: enough cutlery, other kitchen utensils, a fantastic shower, everything clean, etc. Definitely worth booking!!

Mooi huisje. Wat vooral prettig is is dat alles gewoon klopt: genoeg besteken ander keukengerei, een fantastische douche, alles schoon, etc. Zeker het boeken waard!!

We spent 4 nights at this beautifully presented home. This was the end of our 2 week trip as a family of four, and was a good place to chill out by the pool and enjoy the wildlife coming through the garden - we saw squirrel monkeys, agouti, toucan amongst others. Also explored the National Park and other beaches - we took Katrins recommendation to get a taxi or bus to  most places,  rather than walk, as its pretty hilly and she was super helpful arranging things for us. There is a supermarket at the top of the road that you can walk to, as well Soda El Angel, which proved to be a great lunch spot at reasonable prices. A lovely place to finish our trip, would recommend.

Thank you so much. please come back anytime

Amazing spot!  We had a little trouble finding our way through town because we were traveling at night but Katrin was very responsive and helped us get there!  Once there, the place was immaculate, easy to get inside, we felt very safe (surrounding houses are a little run down but not to worry), walkable bars and supermarket, and an overall delight to stay.  Katrin was also very helpful in organizing our tour of MA Park - highly recommend using her as a service to organize your visit to the park…. This house is an amazing spot in a unique and beautiful area - a must do if traveling in Costa Rica!

Thank you very much, Justin. Please come back anytime

The property is accurately listed. However, we experienced a few problems: 1. Vague directions in "how to get there" section. They have an address that can be put into Google Maps but it was not provided until we asked twice after getting lost. 2. Meager supplies. One tiny (45ml/1.5oz) bottle each of shampoo and body wash. We asked for more and were told, "in hotels they provide only a tiny bottle". We replied, "in a hotel, they replenish bottles daily and are happy to provide more if asked". Got no reply to that. Same thing with toilet paper. In the kitchen, we found 7 packets of sugar. Felt like "we will provide sugar for your first cup of coffee. After that, get your own". 3. Around 10pm we wanted to eat some food and discovered that the "well equipped kitchen" doesn't have a microwave. We tried to turn on the gas stove but the ignitor was broken. Spent several minutes trying to figure it out. No dishwasher detergent. Katrin said she will drop some off but never did.

I really recommend to read the Airbnb rules. I am doing this business since 7 years and nobody was asking (kind of rude) for this like you. Only the first needed things are offered in an airbnb. Everything else the guests have to buy. And I provide lot more as the Airbnb rules demand. And in the discription of the house is not a Microwave. The oven worked perfect. And it would be helpfull if you would read the direction to the house her on Airbnb. Everything is correctly descibed.

Wonderful place to end our stay in Costa Rica. Katrin was amazing in recommending things to do and booking us excursions including a great tour guide for Manuel Antonio, a catamaran, and a private chocolate demonstration. Would highly recommend. The place was gorgeous. Only minor complaint is the beds a little hard for me but not a huge deal when everything else was awesome. Stay here!!!

Great spot in Manuel Antonio. Great size, super clean and fun little pool. We saw monkeys climbing around the trees outside. The host was super helpful with arranging some great tours. We had a great time.

Thank you very much. Please come back anytime

Beautiful house for a family time, it has a patio in which you literally feel in the middle of the jungle, which makes you feel a magical experience, it rests very well. There are many restaurants nearby and also minisuper for grocery shopping. I recommend it for good family time.

Casa bonita para pasar un tiempo en familia, tiene un patio en el que literal te sientes en medio de la selva lo que te hace sentir una experiencia magica, se descansa muy bien. Hay muchos restaurants cerca y tambien minisuper para comprar despensa. Lo recomiendo para pasar un buen tiempo familiar.

If you are looking for a place near everything in Manuel Antonio - this is it!  It's in the middle of town & very walkable.  The home itself is private, but do know that the neighbors are right on top of you. The location of this house is wonderful (highly recommend Soda Angel - w/in walking distance).  Bed was comfortable; showers were always hot.  The AC in the master bedroom worked ok, but not great. There is no fan or AC in the bathroom; which is extremely hot & humid; towels do not ever fully dry here.  The pool water is freezing - likely due to all the rain.  But so cold, we could not enjoy. Also know that the house (& all of Manuel Antonio) does not flush any toilet paper down the toilet, so small trash cans are provided for disposal of your toilet paper.  Power outages are common here as well - it gets hot fast!  (Obviously no fault of the hosts!)

Thank yoou very much, Emily. It was a pleasur to have you. During rainy season nothing gets dry. You have tu put it in the dryer or in full sun if she showes up. Btw in entire Costa rica its not allowed to flush toilet paper. Is a difrent system here. Next time you should come in the summer season

Tastefully decorated, beautiful home with gorgeous infinity pool.  Well furnished kitchen, and air conditioning.  Access to a full size washer and dryer on the premises was superb.  Lots to do and see in the area.  Access to a car is highly recommended for this location.

Thank you very much Emily. Come back anytime

We had a great time at Casa Paldea! It was exactly as described and very safe and  comfortable. We loved the monkeys who visited us on the patio! And the host was super helpful in setting up tours and recommending restaurants. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, remodeled house with excellent view of wildlife and nice pool.  The house is very comfortable and secure.  Everything is new and designed for the space.  The AC works well and the kitchen has all the cooking and food preparation tools imaginable.   It is a little tricky to find the house the first time, but once you get oriented it is easy.

Joa, than yyou very much. come back anytime

This place is a true paradise! We had a little challenge finding the place since we arrived in the dark but Katrin was in contact with us till we arrived. The pool is amazing. Super private and clean. We loved everything about this place.

Thank you so much, Gabriella. It was a pleasure to have you

We really love the house. It was clean, spacious, well located and decorated with taste. The backyard was a big plus, and we could see monkeys from the porch! The house was very well equipped (e.g., kitchen appliances), but we were very short on basic items such as toilet paper, paper towels and garbage / recycling bags. Apart from this minor downside, we had a great stay. I recommend this house!

Totally renovated house, everything is new and beautiful. It feels like home.. it's spacious and comfortable. Everything is perfect.

Maison totalement rénovée, tout est neuf et beau. On s’y sent comme à la maison.. c’est spacieux et confortable. Tout est parfait

Casa was great. Really enjoyed the pool and balcony off of the bedrooms. Lots of birds and other wildlife spotted. Kitchen has everything you need to make meals at home. Very comfortable beds and a great shower. Arriving after dark made finding the place a little difficult but once we spotted it, all went smoothly.

Leonard’s place is a paradise on earth! The house is large and beautiful with modern amenities and decorations. It really felt like home (even better!). We could not feel more comfortable and safe: gated house and parking spot, AC in all the rooms, private laundry and dryer, king size comfortable beds, huge kitchen full of cookwares, outside BBQ. Our daughter enjoyed the infinity pool so much! The jungle is literally in the backyard and it was such a treat to hear birds singing in the mornings. It is a great place for kids: high chair, beach toys and inflatables are all available in the house. On top of that, we received the best recommendations for tours, restaurants, and things to do, all within 15 min drive from the Airbnb. We didn’t have to worry about anything and we got to enjoy the best vacation ever. Cannot recommend more.

Thank you Eloise. It was a pleasure to have you

Loved this apartment. The kids enjoyed the pool and shade after a hot day. The apartment is spacious and well appointed. The beds are a little hard, but rooms comfortable. We loved our stay and highly recommend.

We really enjoyed the location, many restaurants and stores are only a few minute walk away. The house is beautiful! We loved the big island in the kitchen and the private backyard with the pool. Perfect to spend a few days to visit Manuel Antonio. Thank you!

Amazing space, even better than the photos! The kitchen/living space was huge, very clean, and the pool was such a treat. Backyard was great after the days of adventuring. Very easy access to the park and beaches, walking distance to stores and restaurants. Katrin was a lovely and responsive host and we can't wait to visit again!

Thank you, Sarah. Its was a pleasure to have you

Howler monkeys, skull monkeys, macaws you name it all from the terrace

Brulapen, doodshoofdaapjes, ara's noem maar op allemaal te zien vanop het terras

The accommodation is generously equipped. Our little girls loved the pool. The location between Quepos and Manuel Antonio NP actually very good. We would have liked some details differently: Actually great shower with different settings can't be used without there being a lot of water in the hallway afterwards. Mattresses were a bit too hard for us. With the light switches and fans, you have to look for which switch stands for what. And we had a few more hours of power outage, so we heard the noisy generators of the neighbors and started sweating without AC. But hey, pura vida, complaining to a very high standard. Above all, there is still a "very very good" from our side.

Die Unterkunft ist grosszügig ausgestattet. Unsere kleinen Mädchen liebten den Pool. Die Lage zwischen Quepos und Manuel Antonio NP eigentlich sehr gut. Einige Details hätten wir uns anders gewünscht: Eigentlich tolle Dusche mit verschiedenen Einstellungen lässt sich nicht benutzen, ohne dass danach im Flur sehr viel Wasser liegt. Matratzen waren uns etwas zu hart. Bei den Lichtschaltern und Ventilatoren  muss man jeweils suchen, welcher Schalter wofür steht. Und wir hatten mal noch einige Stunden Stromausfall, so dass wir dann v.a. die lauten Generatoren der Nachbarn hörten und ohne AC ins Schwitzen kamen. Aber hey, pura vida, Klagen auf sehr hohem Niveau. Über alles gibts trotzdem ein „sehr sehr gut“ von unserer Seite.

Very nice and cozy house. Very nice and complete Highly recommended

Casa muy linda y acogedora. Muy agradable y completa Ampliamente recomendada

Centrally located, easy walk to some of the restaurants and short driving distance to the beach. Kitchen well stocked.

Thanks Alek. It was lovely to have you back

The house is in a great location, well equipped and we immediately felt very comfortable! Special is the pool and garden, where there are lots of animals to watch! Thanks for the hospitality and the great time there!

Das Haus ist toll gelegen, gut ausgestattet und wir uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt! Besonders ist der Pool und der Garten, wo es viele Tiere zu beobachten gibt! Danke für die Gastfreundschaft und die tolle Zeit dort!

This home was gorgeous! We loved everything about it and our stay. Super clean, comfortable, and the pool was amazing. The only thing we would have loved that it didnt have was a microwave. Over its a wonderful place with amazing views from the balcony as well as the back patio. AC worked great, beautiful touched throughout and our host went above and beyond. I highly recommend this home.

A beautiful place such in ver good location the entire house offers a sense of nature and different vibe that will help you to relax and join

It’s has a great location. Very close to Manuel Antonio Park and beaches. Also a short drive to a lot of restaurants, walkable to grocery store and small eateries. Katrin, our host, was very responsive to our questions. Mostly quiet at night. The pool was a great addition especially after a long, hot and tiring day. Overall, it was a great stay. Felt right at home and may I say that it is very clean!

My family and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home! It was private yet close to all the main restaurants and beach. We felt at home and enjoyed the backyard as well.

We always felt comfortable during our stay. The pool was the most beautiful after a hot day. However, it is not recommended for families with small children. Due to the grounds of the hillside location of the property and the depth of the pool.

Wir haben uns in der Zeit unsres Aufenthaltes immer wohl gefühlt.Der Pool war das schönste nach einem heissen Tag.Für Familien mit kleinen kindern ist es allerdings nicht zu empfehlen.Auf Grund der Hanglage des Grundstückes und der Tiefe des Pools.

We loved this home! It was spotless, everything was brand new and worked perfectly. We would cool off the bedrooms in the evening, then when we went to bed we would turn off the AC and open the sliders to listen to the jungle sounds. The kitchen was perfectly functional and we prepared quite a few tasty meals but there are also tons of great restaurants within walking distance as well as a market. The infinity pool was amazing and perfectly positioned in the shade for cooling off in the afternoons. The jungle view out back is incredible and we had multiple encounters with white faced monkeys, howler monkeys, macaws, and a particularly curious troupe of squirrel monkeys in the cocoa tree. Katrin also gave us the best restaurant recommendations. This is a gem of a home, thank you so much! We had a great stay!

A luxury! Leonard's house gives you everything you need and more. Super spacious and comfortable. The impeccable layout and decor. An Airbnb kitchen was never so well equipped! The pool was a beautiful respite upon returning home. Don't be scared if in the morning you hear noises on the ceiling, it's a group of monkeys that come to play for a few minutes.. a real pleasure! Katrin was an amazing host, always responded quickly, super friendly and gave us great recommendations. Don't hesitate a second is staying at Leonard's house!! It's spectacular!

Un lujo! La casa de Leonard te brinda todo lo que necesitas y más. Súper espaciosa y cómoda. El diseño y decoración impecables. Nunca una cocina de Airbnb estuvo tan bien equipada! La piscina fue un hermoso respiro al volver a casa. No se asusten si a la mañana escuchan ruidos en el techo, es un grupo de monos que vienen a jugar por unos minutos.. un verdadero placer! Katrin fue una anfitriona increíble, siempre respondió rápido, súper amable y nos dio excelentes recomendaciones. No duden ni un segundo es hospedarse en la casa de Leonard!! Es espectacular!

Simply amazing! beautiful home with all the amenities one can ask for. And the location was perfect walked at night to the market and the restaurants just up the block. I cannot wait to come back to manuel antonio and stay in this perfect home!

5 minutes from Manuel Antonio park and beach. Many restaurants and stores within walking distance. Very clean, quiet and almost brand new. A perfect place to stay. Also has an electric gate for your own private parking spot.

We can’t thank Katrin enough for making Leonard’s home available. Leonard’s place is a brand new home and in the heart of Manuel Antonio. The home layout was planned out perfectly with the kitchen and living room (and a bathroom) on the bottom floor with the pool just outside the sliding glass doors. Our family was able to enjoy our time together and those that wanted to retire early to a night of rest could go upstairs and enjoy the bedrooms that were perfectly designed away from the meeting place and any noise from us downstairs. The shower and bathroom upstairs were very modern and made us feel like we were pampered a bit. The pool and deck was a fantastic place for us to unwind and enjoy all the wild life that Manuel Antonio had to offer. We saw monkeys climbing and eating from the cacao tree on the property and many different birds that sang to us from morning to sunset. Speaking of sunsets…I’m not sure you will find a more stunning sunset in Costa Rica than the ones we witnessed.

Thank you so much, Josh. It was a pleasure to have you as my guests

Perfect stay in a brandnew apartement. Everything was perfect. Theres a nice pool with a view to the jungle. We saw wild monkeys everyday from the poolside. The host was very very friendly and even brought our 2 yrs old son some toys to play with. Thank you so much!!!

This brand new villa was one of the best places we have stayed at in Costa Rica. It is walking distance to shops, restaurants and bars, yet you have the jungle right in your backyard! Lots of different animals visit the property, at one point we saw 10 agutis in the garden. It is a very convenient location to visit Manual Antonio park and many other nearby attractions. The house is very comfortable and clean, the huge kitchen has everything you may need, and more. The pool is a dream. Katrin was a great host, very responsive to all our questions, and gave great recommendations about where to eat and what to do in the area. The only downside: you will not want to leave! We will definitely return!

Thank you very much. It was a pleasure to have you. Please come back anytime
