My niece and I just completed three nights, and it was one of the most amazing trips that I've ever had. The Airbnb was immaculate, the bed was comfortable, the water pressure was amazing! The plunge pool was a godsend after a hot day of walking around, even though we came in the "cold season". The driveway leading to the house is steep but definitely very walkable, and you're within 10 minutes of a delicious coffee shop as well as other great restaurants. Everything that Mauricio recommended was top-notch, and he was an amazing concierge. He took care of all the logistics for us during our stay. Thank you so much for everything and for such five-star service! It was such an honor and a pleasure! Also, special mention for Denis, our driver, as well. He made sure we started and ended our trip with pizazz!

We would definitely stay again! We got to see wildlife from the balcony and beautiful sunsets! The grill was an added bonus and the bed was very comfy. We felt right at home. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Mauricio!

This place was just the right size for two people. It was such a beautiful spot! It had a lovely, large bedroom, a very nice kitchen with everything you would need. The sitting room wasn't large, but enough for two people. The place had some great outdoor space and a plunge pool we used every night! It wasn't heated, but Costa Rica is hot, so it was a great way to cool off!

The place and area were absolutely beautiful. It is within walking distance of the beach and several restaurants/stores. Mauricio made sure our experience was a great one and scheduled excursions for us. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Great, private location with beautiful, nature filled back drop.

Fantastic location for where we wanted to be located in Manuel Antonio. We love being in the jungle but also having quick access to the beach… even though the walk down and back up the hill will give you a great cardio workout - which I love! Mauricio was AMAZING! He helped us get to the property and was kind enough to help us depart too. We had squirrel monkeys visit us in the cute cool plunge pool, daily. The Howler monkey troop also did a superb job of keeping us entertained. We enjoyed our stay!

This is one of my fave airbnbs in Manuel Antonio. Its super secluded, surrounded by tons of fauna yet still a very central location to restaurants, bars and the beach. As soon as I opened the door I was hit with the most pristine smell of cleanliness, almost heavenly. The entire place was immaculately clean. Kitchen fully stocked with anything you need to cook, bathroom has nice shower with hot water. Bed is super comfy. Most importantly while in MA, there is a AC unit in the living room and bedroom. Huge wrap around patio with Grill, plunge pool after long hot day after the beach. Beautiful plants on the patio with the most amazing view of the ocean and jungle. I even had a sloth come hang out my first day. Macaw's swinging by to say hello! Mauricio was excellent. He arranged taxi pick ups, tour suggestions and even greeted me at arrival to show me around. He was very proactive.  The ONLY con was the people upstairs made noise all night moving chairs and stomping. BOOK THIS PLACE!

Absolutely loved our stay in Manuel Antonio! The oceanfront location was beautiful, the property was spotless, and it was so nice coming back each day to a pristine Airbnb thanks to the lovely cleaning staff. The pool was perfect for cooling off, the AC worked amazingly, and having all the streaming services already available was such a nice touch. The best part was definitely the monkeys surrounding the Airbnb, it felt like such a magical jungle experience. Mauricio was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The property is very well maintained and conveniently located close to everything, even though we drove most places because those hills are no joke hahaha. Plus, the road the Airbnb is on leads directly to the beach with just a short walk. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay with Mauricio and his team. From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth, welcoming, and well organized. The place itself was even better than expected — especially the porch and the views. It was the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and take in the surroundings. The serenity of the property really made it feel like a true getaway. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together. You can tell Mauricio and his team put real care into the experience. We’d absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful escape.

We had an amazing stay.  The home was beautiful and the staff did an amazing job.   We felt at home in paradise right away.   A short hike and we were on a gorgeous beach.  I highly recommend this slice of paradise.

Thank you again for the great service and beautiful spot. We hope to be back again next year. All the best!

A very nice place to stay with views of the sea and the jungle! Mauricio was always very easy to reach. He also provided us with excellent support when booking tours. Check-out was super flexible, and we were still able to store our luggage safely.

Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft mit Blick aus Meer und Dschungel! Mauricio war immer sher gut zu erreichen. Auch bei Tourbuchungen hat er uns sehr gut unterstützt. Der Check out war super flexibel und wir konnten unser Gepäck noch sicher unterstellen.

We really enjoyed our stay at La Mi Casita. We were able to see several monkeys (howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, and squirrels) as well as plenty of birds from the terrace. Wildlife was abundant, as mentioned in the description. The pool was much appreciated at the end of the day to cool off. The only downside would be the lack of privacy, as the maintenance team is often around in the morning and early afternoon. It would be worth considering adding a privacy screen in the corner of the pool. All in all, the place is splendid and in a good location in Manuel Antonio. Plenty of restaurants nearby, and the beaches are also very accessible. A car is an asset for getting around in MA, as everything is on a slope, which makes distances a bit longer and walking more difficult. We would recommend Mi Casita without hesitation!

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour à la mi Casita. Nous pu voir plusieurs singes ( hurleurs, capucins et écureuils) ainsi que de nombreux oiseaux de la terrasse. La faune était abondante comme mentionné dans la description. La piscine a été très appréciée en fin de journée pour se rafraîchir. Le seul bémol serait le manque d’intimité puisque l’équipe de maintenance est souvent autour durant la matinée et le début de l’après-midi. L’ajout d’un panneau intimité dans le coin de la piscine serait à considérer. Somme toute, le lieu est splendide et bien situé dans Manuel Antonio. Beaucoup de restaurants à proximité et les plages sont aussi très accessibles. La voiture est un atout pour se promener dans MA puisque tout est en pente, ce qui rend les distances un peu plus longues et les déplacements à pied plus difficiles. Nous recommandons Mi Casita sans hésiter!

Beautiful, and Mauricio, the concierge, is kind. We were not used to having a concierge as we usually plan things ourselves, but he was understanding and so helpful. Use him :) …and the place was beautiful.

We loved our few days at Mi Casita which was the final leg of our Costa Rican holiday. The apartment was excellent with everything we needed and very welcome maid service too. The air conditioning made the stay really comfortable and we really enjoyed the plunge pool to help us keep cool. The apartment was well equipped and had everything we needed. We loved the balcony and all the wildlife which were exciting to spot but never a nuisance. The best thing for us was the glorious beach at the bottom of the road. We loved walking down for a swim a couple of times each day -  it’s a steep road but you could drive if you felt less energetic. This was a wonderful end to our superb time in Costa Rica. Thank you and Pura Vida!

Great place with amazing views. Looks exactly like in the pictures. Lots of offers for transports, tours etc which I didn’t need. Maintenance persons are around the apartment all morning which makes it a bit less “private” since they see you on the balcony and pool area. On check out day it felt a bit as if they can’t wait me to leave the place so that they can start to clean. All in all I would come back.

Was great staying somewhere where you connect with nature and it feels like you are staying in the jungle but great amenities.  Super comfortable bed, great linens, beautiful place

The place was very nice and clean, all modern comforts including a small pool. Easy to find, but a bit on the pricey side I’d say compared to many other places we have stayed in CR

Cozy apartment in North American architectural style, equipped with everything you need and more. The view from the terrace is beautiful and you can watch many beautiful animals. The property is also very suitable for a longer stay. However, I would no longer describe the place as brand new, as the guests and the time have left their mark. The property is in a well-kept and clean condition. Surroundings is quiet and beautifully green. Right in the parking lot there is a tree in which a sloth lives. We would come back and would be happy to recommend the place.

Gemütliches Apartment im nordamerikanischen Baustil, mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet und noch mehr. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist wunderschön und man kann viele schöne Tiere beobachten. Die Unterkunft ist auch sehr gut für einen längeren Aufenthalt geeignet. Allerdings würde ich die Unterkunft nicht mehr als brandneu bezeichnen, da die Gäste und die Zeit entsprechende Spuren hinterlassen haben. Die Unterkunft ist in einem gepflegten und sauberen Zustand. Die Umgebung ist ruhig und schön grün. Direkt am Parkplatz steht ein Baum in dem ein Faultier lebt. Wir würden wiederkommen und empfehlen die Unterkunft gern weiter.

Amazing place! Clean, beautiful views, pool was great, and the host was very responsive. He allowed us to check in early when we got into town sooner than expected, allowing us to keep our bags safe. He also booked a kayak excursion for us and we had a great time. The pictures don’t do it justice! The place is on a gravel road but we made it up and down the hill in a 4x4 with no issues. It’s connected to and below a home, with a locked gate and some stairs to enter so it is completely private from the main house. We truly did not want to leave and would stay again! Pura Vida!

Everything was perfect. Great pool, comfortable bed. Very nice employees! Unreserved recommendation.

Alles war perfekt. Toller Pool, bequemes Bett. Sehr nette Angestellte! Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.

Fabulous place to call home for a few nights. Very relaxing, peaceful and full of entertainment from the local monkeys! We went down to the beach  for a most beautiful sunset.  Mauricio was always available and immediately responsive. We would return in a heartbeat

This is a beautiful place in the jungle with a view of the ocean. We saw sloths and monkeys in the back yard. Mau was an excellent host and was very responsive and accommodating.

Beautiful  and spacious apartment in a stunning location.

Loved this place! Great location, views, surrounded by nature and cool jacuzzi for refreshing after a day at the beach / park!

Mi Casa Su Casa was exactly what we were looking for.  The place is off a dirt road off a main vien, off the main road.  The dirt road is easily navigable to the apartment but note if you decide to take it to the beach further down, you may feel more comfortable with a 4wd vehicle.  You can walk to the beach (down a steep dirt road) or up to restaurants which was easy enough for us but may be a bit much for someone that is older or less physically fit.  There are beaches nearby and once to the main road you can take the bus to Manuel Antonio NP for cheap.    The A/C works great and is by room so we only ran it at night in the bedroom.  We pretty much lived on the Patio where we saw wildlife including Monkeys.  The place was well stocked, water drinkable and there is a washer & dryer.  There is a large apt upstairs and you do hear people but it never was a huge problem. It is best to use What's Ap for communication with host for quickest response.  Honestly, the apartment was perfect.

I loved this place so much. The hose is super responsive and helped answer all of my questions. The space itself is beautiful and private and offers an incredible view of both the fauna and the ocean. The best part is that it’s so close to everything! Will stay here again if I’m in the area

The natural environment is beautiful, we were greeted by a sloth and 3 different types of monkeys. The apartment is comfortable, it has a washer and dryer that helps a lot on a long trip. I recommend it!!

El entorno natural es hermoso , nos recibieron un perezoso y 3 tipos distintos de monos . El dpto es cómodo, tiene lavadora y secadora que ayuda mucho en un viaje largo . Lo recomiendo !!

Beautiful casita in a lovely location. We loved the view and watching monkeys in the trees just off the deck. Mauricio was extremely responsive to our requests. One issue for me was that the casita was not, for me, an easy walk to restaurants and the beach, but I’m in my late 70’s with multiple joint replacements so consider the source. Highly recommended. We had a wonderful time and found the locals helpful and friendly.  “ pura vida.

Beautiful property just as pictures displayed. Highlights were wrap around porch with views and plunge pool. Comfortable bed and couch/ outdoor furniture. Fully stocked kitchen. Lots of storage for your things.  Nice shower. Cool acs with extra fans. Loved the beach towels. Parking spot available. Great location right around all the hot hotel/ resort locations, great restaurants and shopping.  Minutes from national park and marina. Felt very safe. Easy to find on Waze. Roads similar to all of costa rica hilly and narrow but manageable, very short distance of gravel like one block. About a flight of stairs to entrance down but disabled mother managed. Owner very responsive and met us at check in to let us in and show us around. Housekeeper was awesome. We saw a monkey, some raccoons, lots of birds and geckos but none were intrusive. Surprised with all the wildlife no critters inside like often found in the area. Definitely a Great value and would stay again.

The place was a little slice of heaven. We enjoyed every moment we spent the outdoor living area was beautiful and peaceful with lots of wildlife. We enjoyed the plunge pool after a hot day at the beach. Thank you so much for making our vacation magical.

A lovely apartment that was close to the beach and centre of town.  Outlook from the apartment over the Pacific and the Jungle was spectacular. Mauricio and team were excellent in all communications including check in

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean and spacious, and very private. The rainforest is right in your backyard. Mauricio was always available and responsive, he answered any questions that we had.

The place was beautiful and very private.  But was also in a great location.  Easy to get to the beach and restaurants.  Mauricio was very helpful to assist in booking massages and tours, and also provided some great restaurant recommendations.  I would highly recommend this place.

Mauricio’s place deserves more than 5 stars!!! The pictures do not do it justice! Spacious, private, clean, comfortable, and peaceful! We saw toucans, scarlet macaws, parakeets, spider monkeys, and capuchin monkeys from and the monkeys even ON the balcony!! Just as much animal action off the balcony as we saw in Manuel Antonio Park! Close to many delicious restaurants, the supermarket, and just a short drive down to a quiet locals beach! So convenient to drive down to and park right on the sand! Mauricio was a great host! Always easy to get a hold of & had lots of great suggestions!! Darling was incredible, I think she’s a real angel on earth! Kept our place spic and span during our stay! Although we had people staying above us, we wouldn’t never have known it!! we were pleasantly surprised at how well the house was sound proofed between the two rentals & we truly still felt like we were in our own little private oasis!! This is a MUST-BOOK airbnb!!! It is incredible!!

Place was extreamly clean and everything worked properly.  Very happy with the apartment.

Absolutely stunning! One of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in. It rained solidly for the 3 nights that we were there, so unfortunately we were only briefly tempted by the jacuzzi and the only animal we saw was one monkey. But I couldn’t think of a nicer place to come home to and dry off! The apartment is very spacious with a huge deck to sit out on and enjoy the jungle/sea view. The shower is hot and the bed large and comfy, and it was wonderful to have a washer and drier to keep our clothes fresh and dry. Th beach is a 15-20 minute walk away- would be spectacular on a sunny day! There are numerous restaurants a 10 minute walk up the hill, and once there you can catch a bus into the national park or Quepos. Mauricio was always available and responsive to organize taxis or to answer questions- a fantastic host! I cannot recommend this Airbnb enough- just book it!

The home was tucked away in the jungle but still had easy access to the road. The views were amazing and very relaxing. Monkeys would come on the balcony from time to time which was very cool to see. The host was very responsive and easy to work with.

My husband and I booked this place for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it! The location is perfect- you can walk to the beach and walk in the other direction to plenty of food options. Also, the place feels very private and secure! We also love that we got to see plenty of wildlife right outside the doors and windows. Cleaning services kept the place very clean throughout our stay. Lastly, Mauricio did an amazing job communication with us before and during our trip. He planned transportation to and from the airport and booked multiple excursions for us through our stay. Great place and great host!!

We absolutely loved our stay! We would recommend this place and would stay there again. The apartment is beautiful, the location is amazing, and the staff team is awesome! A huge shout out to their maid who was always friendly, sweet, and polite. There are tons of restaurants, stores, and a beach within walking distance. We felt very safe and well taken care of. Also, Mauricio was very welcoming and responsive. AND WE COULD SEE MONKEYS FROM THE BALCONY. It was such a fun stay and we don’t have a single negative thing to say about this place or the staff, who made our stay even better! However, we would like to kindly give them a feedback regarding their keys. There is the main entrance gate and then a “screen door” before the actual front door, while we appreciate how safe we felt due to being in a gated and well secured apartment, it would had been helpful if they keys had some sort of stickers or even different colors indicating which door they open. Pura vida!

We absolutely loved this place.  It was clean, comfortable, private, has a beautiful view, close to the beach and great restaurants.  We didn’t cook in but it has a fully stocked kitchen for all your needs.  The service was great.  We hands down stay here again.

The place and views were just amazing. There is something about waking up and seeing how happy your girl is just by seeing monkeys from the balcony. one of my favorite things to do was after a long day of walking and sightseeing jumping into the jacuzzi and relaxing

What a gorgeous casita - perfect location - can walk to Playitas which is a beautiful beach in Manuel Antonio. Two AC units - one in living area and one in BR but barely needed due to shade and breeze. The wrap around porch was so amazing with ocean view and visits from the monkeys. Full kitchen was perfect for preparing meals. Both Mauricio and the cleaning staff were attentive and responsive. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay here!  We saw all three kinds of Monkeys, some with newborn babies on their backs.  Comfy bed and really nice kitchen. Perfect location to view nature with a view of the ocean as well!

We had a fantastic stay at this property!  Mauricio met us at the property upon our arrival, and we were pleased to find that the listing and photos were accurate.  The home was impeccably clean, thanks to Darling, and outfitted with everything that we needed.  The outside amenities were wonderful and we were visited by monkeys and a variety of birds and even found a sloth camped out in one of the trees right on the property as well!  It was a relatively quick walk to a few nearby shops and restaurants/cafes, and we also walked down to the beach daily as well.  (The walk home from the beach was a bit more of a hike on an unpaved road, but was doable as well). All in all, we had a great stay and after traveling around different parts of Costa Rica, we agreed that we would return to this property again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful space and modern appliances surrounded by forest foliage. Truly a remarkable location and visual setting. Host was supportive and I’d highly recommend the suite!

This was a great stay! Mauricio was really communicative and set up rides to everything we wanted to do each day with efficiency. The place was clean and spacious and the staff were super friendly. We felt like we had privacy even with the unit above us. We saw so much wildlife from the home, tucans, macaws, squirrel and whitefaced monkeys just to name a few.  The home is located really conveniently and we had walkable access to restaurants and grocery stores. The place felt super secure and safe too. The walk to the beach was nice and close. The home is on a hill, so the walk back from the beach to the airbnb is a bit of a hike but it was easily doable for us. Would definitely come back and stay here again!!!

Such a delightful stay in Manuel Antonio. The property was pristine, the house keeper Darling was so welcoming and helpful. Mauricio was an amazing concierge and host, making everything easy for us. The plunge pool and patio were so enjoyable and we were a 10 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. I would 100% recommend this property and anything Mauricio manages. Pura Vida!

It was an amazingly beautiful apartment, fabulous views and wildlife to look at. The maintenance and cleaning was great. Couldn’t recommend it more. We LOVED it

Manuel Antonio was hands down our favorite place in Costa Rica and Mauricio’s place made it just that much better. Mauricio was a fantastic host - so kind, funny, and extremely helpful. He organized and coordinated our entire itinerary and each day was better than the last. The house was clean, laundry on site, spectacular views, and a 10 minute walk from the beach. The house is exactly as pictured and we saw lots of cute little geckos, macaws, and monkeys hanging around. We will definitely be back!

Place was in a prime location with quick access to most everything in Manuel Antonio. Mauricio was very attentive and helped setup excursions for us. There was also daily cleaning which was a great plus. Lots of opportunities to see wildlife in the morning off the balcony!

Great appartement in a great location. We spent many hours on the balcony watching and listening to the birds and monkeys. Walking distance from a quiet beach. I recommend this appartement.

Our stay at Mi Casita was great. The place was spotlessly clean, the a/c and dehumidifiers worked great and the shower was excellent. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely anything you could need for an extended stay. The balcony was private and felt secluded (the house above wasn't rented out during our stay) and provided us with great viewings of red and green macaws. We even had a visit form a white-faced monkey one day. Mauricio was a great host and worked with us to book tours and beach services in the area. Everything went so smoothly.

Great location! Very easy to communicate with and a beautiful home!! We enjoyed our stay

Mauricio was very friendly and responsive. Darling was a sweetheart. The place was squeaky clean and had everything that we needed. The view was beautiful and monkeys visited often. Just a short walk to restaurants and shops. Had a wonderful stay. Would come stay again.

This spot is UNREAL. We’ve spent months at various airbnbs and this was by far our favorite. We saw so many monkeys and even the sloth came down from his tree! You can hear the people above you but it’s really not a problem. It’s very clean and easy access to many restaurants and beaches. Mauricio is so responsive and helpful. Couldn’t recommend more!!!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Lots of restaurants are nearby. You could walk, but we drove or took taxis. The dipping pool was especially nice after a day of adventure.  Mauricio made arrangements for some good tours. The view from the patio was awesome.

Solid place and we would definitely return… highly recommended. For those concerned about the unit above and privacy… don’t be concerned… it’s an amazing place and you feel like you’re alone in the jungle. Awesome! Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful condo, perfect for a couple. Amazing view, close to restaurants and beach. We would stay here again and would highly recommend!

Beautiful house close to the beach and the city! We really enjoyed our stay. The house has everything you need and offers also a lot of space! We cooked twice and everything worked perfect. There is also a television to watch Netflix and a laundry. The location of the house is unbeatable! In an only 10 minutes walk your down at the beach and it you're lucky, you can see howler monkey or white-shouldered capuchin monkeys just in front of the house! The housemaid Darling was a true darling and also the communication with Mauricio worked perfect. He helped us with the check in and if we had questions, he answered them very quickly.

Thank you very much for all the good service and willingness you had to serve us, we felt at home.

Muchas gracias por todo el buen servicio y la disposición que tuvieron para atendernos, nos sentimos en casa.

Very nice place, clean. Walkable towards many shops and nice restaurants. Mauricio was very fast with his replies and he helped set us up with a driver who took us around town and other spots whenever we wanted which was great. The house has a very nice view of the ocean and you will see many monkeys, iguanas in the trees and birds singling. The bed was super comfortable and house was well stocked. One of the maids even came to take out the trash and leave extra paper towels which was great. Great spot, but wasn’t 100% private I would say. The jacuzzi over looks the staircase which is pretty open. Me and my husband love our privacy and this wasn’t fully it. But it kind of has a hotel vibe as well so if you like having room service this is the perfect spot for you. They do that here every day. Change the sheets, make the bed, take out the trash. Unfortunately not our type of stay since we like our stay to be fully private but other than that this place is perfect.

Our stay here was absolutely amazing! The condo is stunning! It’s even better than what you see in the photos! It has such a great view! We even got a to see a monkey right on our balcony and on the trees near by! Mauricio was super helpful and friendly! He helped us book an amazing tour! I can’t say enough amazing things about this place! Definitely wish we would of stayed longer!

There are not enough words to describe how awesome this Airbnb was! Our host was amazing, as he met us personally to help us check in and show us around. He helped us book our excursions, and even texted us to see how we were doing. Not only was there amazing hospitality, but the view and location were incredible. This was by far my favorite Airbnb throughout our trip, and I would definitely book again. Plus, we saw monkeys right outside on the balcony! They were SO cute and such a cute little surprise during our stay. We highly recommend! Thank you, Mauricio!

Really nice unit to stay in, beautiful views, clean, daily housekeeping

We had a wonderful stay at Mauricio's place. He was easy to communicate with and very helpful. The home was nice and had a beautiful view. The highlight were all the monkeys! We saw howler, squirrel and white faced monkeys all from our the spacious desk. At one point we literally saw 75 monkey's cross the road above us. It was something we will never forget! Highly recommended.

Beautiful place! All new finishes, everything is very clean. The balcony was giant and the pool was beautiful!

Hermoso lugar! Todos los acabados nuevos, todo muy limpio. El balcón era gigante y la piscina bonita!

The location is amazing. Very close to the beach and the tourist hub. The apartment was very clean and had a lovely atmosphere. We even got to see some monkeys on the balcony! The balcony is in the shade and stays dry and the dip pool is very refreshing. Would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay here! Mauricio even booked us a zip lining trip before we arrived in Costa Rica. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Mauricio was super helpful in planning excursions for us while there, and very quick to respond. The place is really nice - everything feels clean, new and sleek. The view from the balcony (which has a hot tub) is incredible, looking out over the trees and ocean. Close by (10 minute walk / 2 minute drive) to downtown spots like Emilio's. Would highly recommend!

Mauricios place is just as the pictures, the apartment is very cozy and modern.  It is equipped with plenty of kitchen supplies, also has a washer & dryer. Darling- who cleans the apartment was very friendly! Mauricio is great with communication, he replied very quickly whenever we had questions. From the apartment location there are several beaches near by all at a walkable distance, but there are also many taxis available. There are also many walkable distance restaurants, souvenir stores, groceries, and pharmacies nearby! Overall a very great location near amazing beaches!

All of the hype about this place in the other reviews is true. My partner an I stayed here for 5 nights in July and it absolutely made our trip to Manuel Antonio. It is walking distance to the restaurants in town and the beach AS LONG as you can handle hills. Manuel Antonio is very hilly, everywhere you go in town, so the fact that this condo requires some hiking is no different than any other place in Manuel Antonio. If you're not up for hiking, there is parking at the unit and you can easily drive down the street and park at the beach or drive up into town and park at the restaurants. Either way, the point is that the location for this condo is phenomenal. The condo itself is new and very well appointed. The air conditioner worked really well...we were bundled up under the covers at night which made for deep sleeping. The views from the place are so much better than the pictures convey! You have very clear ocean views and lots of jungle. We had a few monkeys visit us one day. There is a great sense of privacy here as no one can see you from the surrounding homes or the unit above. There was a noisy family that stayed in the unit above us (just walked really heavily and had kids that played in the pool making typical kid noises), but such is the life of a traveler. Something that surprised us was regular cleaning of the unit. There are two great housekeepers that would refresh the place daily while we were out. Highly recommend Emilio's for breakfast...it was our daily routine. Amazing view, great service, delicious food. The Thai place on the corner was also great as was Agua Azul.

Mauricio’s Casita was a WONDERFUL place to spend a week in Manuel Antonio! It’s close enough to the main road and all the restaurants that you can walk to dinner and close enough to the beach in the other direction that it is also walkable! Granted, Manuel Antonio is a very hilly town so the walks are uphill but totally doable! The casita itself was just what we needed! It was very comfortable for two guests and so clean! We were showing it off to all our friends staying in different hotels. Mauricio was very accommodating and responsive as a host which we really appreciated and Darling is a wonderful caretaker for the property. I would definitely recommend this property to any couples looking for a place to stay in Manuel Antonio!

The unit is as pictured and has most everything you need for a comfortable stay while exploring the area.  It's modern and clean with a great balcony to watch and listen to nature doing its thing.  We thoroughly enjoyed watching the parrrots one evening.  Be prepared, you'll need to descend a few stairs to reach the unit.  There are also quite a few keys to the unit as well.  Also self check-in option.  You'll need to meet the host who'll introduce you to the unit and its amenities.  There's a nice plunge pool on the balcony.  I wish it was heated because it got a little too chilly for us to truly enjoy.  Overall, we enjoyed our time there and found most of what we needed.  The balcony was enjoyable and the views from the unit were equally as enjoyable.  Overall, I'd stay again.

Hola Amigo thanks for your nice reviwe and we will keep your suggestions to make those changes ... Hope you enjoyed your time in Manuel Antonio !!!  Hope to see you guys again soon !!!

Excellent place among the jungle of Manuel Antonio. Super equipped apartment. Highly recommended. Mauritius is very attentive.

Exelente lugar entre la jungla de Manuel Antonio. Apartamento súper equipado. Muy recomendable. Mauricio muy atento.

This was our favorite place we stayed in Costa Rica. Absolutely stunning home, with a beautiful private balcony. The private plunge pool was so refreshing after long hot days! It is in a wonderful location, close to the beach and town. Definitely walkable, but be prepared for dirt roads and hills! Would stay again without a doubt.

This place is a must book place. The apartment looks waaaay better than it does on the pictures. Much bigger than I thought also. 10 min walk from the beach. 10 min walk to the local restaurants as well. We really enjoyed our stay. Make you not want to go back to back. They even wash your clothes as well 😁😁😁. Super love this place. Highly recommend it 😁

Elena’s place is perfect! The view is gorgeous!! We had monkeys on our balcony every morning. It is also less than 5 minutes to the best beaches. The apartment was super clean and beautiful. Stephanny was a huge help, giving us restaurant and activity recommendations in the area. I would strongly recommend this place to everyone!

This place is a little slice of heaven on earth! The apartment is immaculate, the size is perfect for two. It’s very cozy. The kitchen is well equipped. The location is great since you’re only approximately 600 meters from the main road, but you feel as though you’re in the middle of nature. The balcony is so wonderful to chill and enjoy all the sounds and beauty of nature. We were really lucky to have titi monkeys (about 30) play in the trees in front of us for almost an hour! And then they even walked across the rail in the balcony. White faced monkeys also visited. They were a bit scary!  The walk to the beach is pretty. The next day we drove with our 4x4 which allowed us to take more things to the beach. Stephanny was amazing. She was so helpful and always responded immediately!

La Casita is a slice of heaven. It has a view of the ocean and jungle all from a pretty, private patio with a plunge pool. The kitchen has all the amenities you need to cook at home. The WiFi signal is strong. The water pressure is great. And the unit has a great washer / dryer unit. All around great space. The house is a 15 min walk down to a beautiful, pretty secluded beach. Stephanny our host was fantastic! She was so responsive and had great suggestions for activities and food. She made the check in and check out processes seamless and simple. Will definitely stay again.

This apartment was perfect for our 1.5 week stay in Manuel Antonio. It is in a great location - between the beach and the town, both of which are around a 10 min walk away. Playitas - the closest beach - was beautiful and it did not seem as busy as some of the other nearby beaches. The apartment itself had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped and the plunge pool was a real treat! We also had to work while we were there and we had no issues with that as the location is quiet and the internet connection was good - all you could hear were the magnificent sounds of the surrounding wildlife. We greatly enjoyed our almost daily visits from the capuchin and titi monkeys on the balcony - we felt so lucky that we were able to see them so close up!  Alex was super responsive in answering any questions that we had and he gave us some great tips on things to see in the area and restaurants to check out. We would highly recommend this place to any couple visiting the Manuel Antonio area and we would definitely stay here again.

What an amazing and fun stay! The location is super close to everything you may want to do in Manuel Antonio, and the condo will have anything you need to feel at home. The beach is a 8-10 min walk and one of the best we've seen in the area- gorgeous and secluded. Stellar sunsets! Alex made us feel extremely welcome, answered all the questions promptly and gave wonderfully helpful local tips. Highly recommend!

READ THIS! This is the best vacation we have ever been on. Quepos/Manuel Antonio is a magical place. Breathtaking nature and wildlife right outside your door, plus modern decor and a comfortable bed makes this place perfect! We saw toucans, scarlet macaws, and 3 different species of monkeys from the porch. Perfect location—you can see and hear the ocean, walk to the beach, and we walked to breakfast and dinner every day. Amazing food and service at the nearby restaurants. It’s a short downhill walk to the beach, but after making the trek back uphill the first day, we found it’s better to walk down a few minutes to the public beach and get a taxi back home (very inexpensive). Also the place is very private and romantic, perfect for couples. Plunge pool is wonderful to relax in after a beach day. Manuel Antonio National Park is a must visit—can easily walk there from the beach but if you book a tour with a guide they’ll pick you up (highly recommend Efraín’s tour—we saw so many sloths!!!). Host was a huge help with local tips, best excursions and taxi services, and anything else we needed...always quick to respond. Thank you for everything!!!

No privacy. It is not mentioned that it is an apartment in a house. You can hear everything from the other house

No hay privacidad. No se menciona que es un apartamento en una casa. Se escucha todo de la otra casa

This place gets a 5 star review all the way. Elena and her team were amazing. The place was clean, near the beach, cozy, close to very good restaurants, and perfect for a getaway. I highly recommend it, I went to search for peace and recharge energy and I am back to San Jose feeling renew. Thank you, thank you!

Best close to the beach retreat, perfect for a romantic getaway or simply spend some awesome time on your own... very convenient location to go for dinner, groceries or take a nice hike down to the beach. Totally recommend and can’t wait to go back

Ok let me break this down for everyone.. my girlfriend and I stayed in this place for 10 days and I can not say enough good things about it!! This Airbnb is a 10 hands down.. no questions about it. I’ve been in many Airbnb’s all over the world and this was by far the best place I have ever stayed! Let’s start with the location.. you are right directly in the middle of the Costa Rican rain forest.. close walk to the beach, 10 mins.. close walk into town to all the restaurants and bars, 8 mins. We saw 3 different types of monkeys, Titi monkeys, White face monkeys, and howler monkeys, we also saw a sloth, a Jesus Christ lizard, and probably about 10 Toucans ALL from our deck at the house! the place itself... Before I got here I asked Gary (the concierge) , why does this place have no reviews? His response, it’s because this place is brand new. It really is brand spanking new.. everything from the bed, to the kitchen, literally everything is brand new. The splash pool was amazing for us and very refreshing on the heat! Also one of the best things about this house, is Gary himself, he is the man.. he treated my girlfriend and I like family, and with the utmost respect. He made us feel like rockstars. He did everything for us, set up tours, called restaurants and made us reservations, set up all of our cab rides. Also Darlene the house maid is an amazingly nice and kind woman and was not in our way AT ALL.. and did an amazing job keeping the house looking great! The landscaping is also done by a man named William, and he does an A+ job. I just want you to know before you book this, that I didn’t write this review for the homeowners or Gary. I’m doing this for you. You need to stay here and experience this. Don’t cheat yourself, treat yourself. If you have the money don’t be cheap. This place is a 10. Lastly if you are considering Manuel Antonio as a vacation destination this place is a 10 as well. We literally just had the best vacation of our lives, and we are well traveled people. I can not say enough good things about this. If you would like to see a video of our journey, you can look us up on YouTube Rocky and Rebecca travel. We will be posting a video from our trip very soon.

This is a beautiful apartment and the location and view is amazing. It is near one of the best beaches in Manuel Antonio and close to great restaurants. Apartment is clean, lots of privacy, and the bed is super comfortable. Having a concierge was a nice touch, as Gary was very helpful and accommodating.

Elena is super helpful and responsive.  Since she was bi-lingual it made the whole experience much easier.  She addressed all of our requests with outstanding service.
