A fantastic view of the national park and ocean from the balcony, living room and bedrooms; excellent location near three beaches, restaurants, ATM and convenience store. Air conditioning in the bedrooms. Our internet speed is 100 mbps. About 3 flights of stairs to the front door. It is a two story building. We are the closest unit to the parking lot. The space Enjoy the rainforest and wildlife without roughing it! Manuel Antonio / Quepos is one of the most popular tourist spots in Costa Rica, and this house has an amazing view. We are an affordable 2 bedroom place with AC one half mile from three beaches. Environmental concerns: recycling containers 20 yards from the front door; wildlife friendly outer perimeter security fence; environmentally friendly cleaning products. The main photo shows the south view from our balcony of Manuel Antonio National Park. This house has two bedrooms (one queen, one double) and AC on one floor, plus the bathroom. On the upper floor there is a kitchen, living room, and a beautiful balcony (about 800 square feet total/75 m2). There's an oven, microwave, blender, fridge, also pots and pans, sheets, towels, pillows, and a few books. There is a telephone for local calls; you can make international calls with a phone card. There's a full time caretaker. We don't have a TV, a pool, bathtub, or stereo. There are ceiling fans in every room, and showers with hot water. One is an outdoor shower with hot water for washing the sand off when you come in from the beach. We have a full length mirror, blow dryer, and an iron. The house is three stories, and there are fifty four steps to get to the entrance. Definitely not handicapped accessible, and not good for toddlers. The house gets the sea breeze. The electricity is U. S. standard 110 volts with US style plugs. A wonderful place for tropical birdwatching! Up above the canopy. We see laughing falcons, parrots, parakeets, scarlet tanagers, electric blue dachnis, frigate birds, golden-headed tanagers, tropical kingbirds, pelicans and many more. There are at least 224 bird species to be seen in this area. I have a list of birds seen from the balcony that the professor of ornithology at the University of Southern California made. We tend to notice the laughing falcon just after a rain - they have a distinctive cry. Squirrel monkeys and whiteface monkeys are common, in fact I heard a tourist saying that they were 'monkeyed out.' You can often hear the howler monkeys as well. The squirrel monkeys sometimes come up near the balcony. The lizards you see everywhere are garrobos, an omnivorous cousin to iguanas. They are harmless; actually they are helpful, they eat pests. Some of them live in and around the stairs. We're not far from the national park and several private reserves; also near a five star restaurant, casino, hospital, and the airport. DISTANCE TO THE BEACH: To get to the far end of Espadilla beach (the opposite end from the National Park) and to Dulce Vida beach, walk downhill on the left hand fork in front of the house for one kilometer (0.6 mile). The road dead ends at one end of the largest beach, Espadilla beach; Dulce Vida beach is to the right, around the rocks; this one is known as a gay beach. All of them are white sand beaches, good for swimming. There is also another beach following the right hand fork, better for small children with less waves. Guest access Guests have access to the entire unit. Other things to note You can set the house burglar alarm if you wish to.

2BR house in Manuel Antonio

Beach House with Great Ocean View! - Houses for Rent in Manuel Antonio, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

This is the second time I've stayed at this house, and it has everything I need for a few days of rest. The view is spectacular. The house is beautiful and has everything one needs. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back.

Es la segunda oportunidad en la que me hospedo en esta casa y tiene todo lo que necesito para unos días de descanso. La vista es espectacular, la casa es preciosa, tiene todo lo que uno necesita. La recomiendo muchísimo y sin duda volveré.

My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed our stay at this Airbnb. Waking up to nature right outside the window was such a joy, and we loved seeing so many different animals. The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and felt very safe. Mr. Bismarck was incredibly helpful, even assisting us with our luggage. This place is a slice of paradise—you’ll be glad you booked it.

Amazing place and would def recommend and hopefully come back one day :)

The house was beautiful but there were bugs in the guest bed. She had the house manager change the sheets but the bugs were still there

We had a wonderful stay. The place was very clean, peaceful, and had beautiful views that made the experience even better. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating, allowing us to check in early and check out later, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely recommend it.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental which was cozy, clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay .  The views of the Pacific Ocean and Espadilla Beach were breathtaking, while the surrounding rainforest provided a front-row seat to incredible local wildlife that made the entire trip so much more interesting. We absolutely loved sitting on the deck each night watching the incredible lightning storms just off the coast.  We would like to give a special thanks to the onsite caretaker Bismark, whose kindness, advice and help truly made this visit special. We would definitely love to come back.

The house had amazing views.  We enjoyed spending a lot of time on the upstairs patio deck.  Having one bathroom was a challenge but worth the inconvenience.

Such a beautiful place, it felt like a dream. Plenty of birds and other animals to watch from the balcony. It was perfect

More amazing in person that the pictures. Breathtaking views all around esp the balcony. Private and nestled in a jungle-- Kirsten and I loved it. Waking up to supendous sunrisese (soemtimes accompanied by howler choruses) gorgeous sunsets. One rainy am a spider monkey appeared on the deck, tip toed around coffee cup and jumped into the trees. He was with a troop of family and we spent hours simply watching, filming photographing them leaping tree to tree including Mom's w baby. Also regurlarly saw tons of birds including toucans, maccaws 2x  the Agouti's that nest here. Easy walking to Biesanz, and Espadilla beaches. Short walk to excellent restaurants such as  Samui Thai, , Emilio's w spectacular view + delish food and add Tulacafe on the Tulamare resort with insanely beautiful view and yummy food. Manuel Anotonio Park w a guide = great fun. Sarah and Bismarck were both incredibly responsive. This was one of my favorite trips i have ever taken and we would be back in a heartbeat.

We woke up here to literal squirrel monkeys climbing around the porch. This place truly makes you feel like you’re staying in the middle of the jungle, with beautiful views overlooking the beach. The beach itself is within walking distance, and downtown Manuel Antonio is close by as well, which made everything super convenient. This home was an amazing place to relax and take in the nature around us. I would highly recommend this place for couples or smaller families looking for a unique stay!

Great stay! One of the best I’ve stayed in.

This AirBNB was absolutely stunning. The view of the ocean was to die for and the location was great. We will recommend this home to others who want to visit Costa Rica.

Pictures don’t do this place justice. It is truly one of the most amazing and dreamiest houses we’ve stayed at. We saw more monkeys and wildlife from this house than at Manuel Antonio National Park. The caretaker and his family next door were very warm and friendly. Wish we booked this place for more days!

The kitchen and living area of the apt are upstairs, and are very comfortable.  Kitchen is well-equipped, and it's a pleasant area with ceiling fans and a stand fan.  The dining table is along the side of glass windows.  The outstanding feature for both my husband and me was the balcony, equipped with settee, table, swinging chair, hammock and, of course, ceiling fans.  The view was fantastic, and we saw parrots and toucans and monkeys.  When we arrived in Manuel Antonio, it was in April and in the high 90s, yet we sat out on the balcony every evening, without any sign of mosquitoes.  I had injured my leg on our first day in Costa Rica, so the steps up to the apt were difficult for me.  Yet the balcony and proximity to wildlfe and peacefulness were worth the effort.  We would return.

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The location is absolutely stunning—overlooking the beach with breathtaking scenery. It truly felt like a private retreat, tucked away just enough to enjoy the quiet and beauty of nature. The space itself was exactly as described—cozy, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together. Everything felt welcoming and well cared for, making it easy to relax and feel at home right away. If you’re looking for a place that combines beautiful views, a serene atmosphere, and a sense of privacy, this is it. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great stay! If you are hesitating, don’t! The place is lovely and we wished we could stay longer!

What a view! We enjoyed every second on that beautiful terrace overlooking trees full of magnificent birds - we even saw toucans!

We had a short stay at Sarah and Bismalck's place. The luggage lift is a plus. Bismalck welcomed us with a smile and helped us with our luggage. The view when you wake up was beautiful, and beach access is a bit of a hike if you walk down, but it's doable. What we missed: the washing machine and dryer.

Nous avons passé un court séjour chez Sarah et Bismalck. Le monte charge pour les bagages est un plus. Bismalck nous a accueilli avec le sourire et aidé avec nos bagages. La vue au réveil était magnifique,l'accès à la plage sportive si on y descends à pieds mais ça le fait. Ce qui nous a manqué : le lave linge sèche linge.

We (two couples) were able to check in early at this wonderful house after making a last-minute request; Sarah responded very quickly and gave us the go-ahead. We were immediately captivated by the phenomenal view, with various birds perched on a nearby branch, putting on a concert for us. Once, we even had little monkeys visit us on the terrace. The beach and restaurants were within easy walking distance, and we also found various tips in Sarah’s information packet, including an app for identifying birds, which has since helped me get to know the local birds back home as well. The extremely friendly caretaker took care of transporting our luggage up and down; the freight elevator used for this was a little adventure in itself. Simply a place to enjoy and relax—highly recommended.

Loved this place!  Very helpful recommendations and directions from the host, listing exactly as described - actually, better!  The view from the place, and Costa Rica vibe were amazing.  The place was very clean, safe, great location.  Note that stairs required, but that is what gets you that view!  The caretaker is on site, and so lovely and helpful.  Swimable beach is a close walk, or even shorter drive.  Close to Manuel Antonio Park.  Surrounded by animals and birds.  Wish we could have stayed here longer!  (family of 4)

The apartment is OK, but everything really happens on the balcony! Being located in the treetops offers an undeniable advantage for observing a wide variety of species: parrots, monkeys, toucans, and more! The views are exceptional, and the location is very central for visiting the area.

L’appartement est correct, mais tout se joue littéralement sur le balcon! Être localisé à la cime des arbres procure un avantage Indéniable pour observer une panoplie d’espèces: perroquets, singes, toucan et j’en passe! La vue est exceptionnelle et l’emplacement très central pour visiter la région.

It's just so beautiful. I could have stayed there for ages. It feels like a beach cabin but remains nestled in the trees. We saw many scarlet macaws out from the balcony (watch early morning and sunset!) Sarah was very patient with us as we made changes to the reservation very last minute. Thank you so much for having us!

The view was even more beautiful than the photos

Just left Biesanz beach house a few days ago, and out of the 4 area we went to in Costa Rica, Sarah's house, and Quepos/Manuel Antonio was our absolute favorite! Sitting on that deck, watching the sunrise, drinking coffee, listening to the howler monkeys and the birds all around you-absolute heaven! I would go back there right now if I could! Thank you Sarah for sharing your lovely home!

We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The views from the balcony were absolutely stunning — waking up to that scenery every day was unforgettable. Felt immersed in nature yet so close to local amenities. They kindly provided a ton of beach towels that was super helpful. I’d stay here in a heartbeat

This was hands down the most beautiful view I’ve ever had from an Airbnb. Absolutely unreal. We saw monkeys, toucans, and so many birds right from the property. The ocean and cliff views are truly unbeatable. You stay here for the view — and it does not disappoint. The place is very walkable, but there are quite a few steps and steep hills to get up to the property, so just keep that in mind. The host was amazing and provided great local recommendations. The cat and dog on the property are incredibly friendly, and the housekeeper was so sweet and helpful. Could not recommend this place more!

It's all muted. The view was breathtaking. The kitchen was super equipped. The property is surrounded by nature. It was very clean. We loved it.

Es hat alles gestummen. Die Aussicht war atemberaubend. Die Küche war super ausgestattet. Die Unterkunft ist von Natur umgeben. Es war sehr sauber. Wir waren begeistert.

great apartment with great views and very cozy decor

tolle Ferienwohnung mit großartigem Blick und sehr gemütlicher Einrichtung

The accommodation was clean and tidy when we arrived. Lots of steps to climb, but we expected that, because it was written in the listing. Very hot and humid upstairs, but beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean and Manuel Antonio Park! We were lucky enough to see monkeys and several birds. We didn't go to the beach and the walking path seemed quite long and very uphill. We recommend the accommodation, it's important to read it carefully to make sure it's suitable for all members of your family!

L'hébergement était propre et bien rangée a notre arrivée. Beaucoup de marches a monter, mais on si attendait, car ecrit dans l'annonce. Très chaud et humide à l'étage, mais vue magnifique sur l'océan Pacifique et le parc manuel Antonio! Nous avons eu la chance dobserver des singes et plusieurs oiseaux. Nous ne sommes pas aller a la plage et le chemin a pied semblait assez long et très en côte. Nous recommandons le logement, important de bien lire pour être certain que ça convient a tous les membres de votre famille!

everything you need to feel right at home in paradise, and Bismarck and Ada (the caretakers) we’re so lovely and made me feel safer there as a single woman. I will definitely be back!

This place was perfect - amazing views especially from the kitchen balcony. Generous kitchen made meal prep easy. Beds were comfortable and location was great. Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful 5 night stay here. The views from the balcony were amazing! Enjoyed having our coffee on the balcony admiring the views, watching the monkeys and listening to the many variety of birds. Had great communication with Sarah prior to and doing our stay. Very clean and comfortable. Would love to return. Thank you !

We absolutely loved this Airbnb! The views are fantastic and spectacular. We couldn't wait to come back in the evening to see the sunset and in the morning we couldn't wait to get up to watch the birds and other animals. Little monkeys come to the balcony! The accommodation is well equipped. The hosts leave chairs, a small cooler, a board and masks and snorkel at our disposal! You have to take the car to go to the beach. The cost of parking can vary between $6 and $10. We loved Espadilla Beach about a 10-minute drive away! We would highly recommend this Airbnb!

Nous avons adoré ce RBNB! La vue est incroyable et spectaculaire. Nous avions hâte de revenir le soir pour voir le coucher de soleil et le matin nous avions hâte de nous lever pour observer les oiseaux et autres animaux. Des petits singes viennent sur le balcon! Le logement est bien équipé. Les hôtes laissent à notre disposition des chaises, une petite glacière, une planche et des masques et tuba! Il faut prévoir prendre la voiture pour aller à la plage. Le coût du stationnement peut varier entre 6$ et 10$. Nous avons adoré la plage Espadilla à environ 10 minutes en voiture! Nous recommandons fortement ce RBNB!

Enjoyed my stay! Thank you. Really enjoyed conversation with caretakes. They are extremely nice humble people. The view is amazing.

The view from the balcony was spectacular. We spent hours on it spotting a variety of birds. Enjoyed having access to a pair of binoculars and Costa Rican birds and sea life reference material. Easy walk to beaches and the town.

Accommodation was great. Many animals seen and beautiful views of the sea.

Unterkunft war top. Viele Tiere gesehen und wunderschöner Ausblick auf das Meer.

This place is absolutely exceptional, facing the Tombolo of Manuel Antonio Park, the view is sublime and many animals are visible around the accommodation, monkeys, toucans, agoutis, macaws. The house is very nice with a large living room and the kitchen upstairs and especially the sublime balcony opening onto the bay. The welcome is also perfect and a small funicular allows you to bring up luggage effortlessly. That's a truly fabulous place.

Ce logement est absolument exceptionnel, face au Tombolo du parc Manuel Antonio, la vue est sublime et de nombreux animaux sont visibles autour du logement, singes, Toucan, Agoutis, Aras. La maison est très agréable avec une grande pièce à vivre et la cuisine à l'étage et surtout le sublime balcon ouvrant sur la baie. L'accueil est également parfait et un petit funiculaire permet de monter les bagages sans efforts. C'est vraiment un endroit fabuleux.

The place is in a great location if you want to visit Manuel Antonio Park or any other beach that is near the park. It has a spectacular view, one of the most beautiful we have seen in Costa Rica. Every morning we saw different birds flying near the house, it was beautiful. I highly recommend the stay here!

El alojamiento está en una ubicación buenísima si quieres visitar el parque Manuel Antonio o cualquier otra playa que esté cerca del parque. Tiene una vista espectacular, de las más bonitas que hemos visto en Costa Rica. Todas las mañanas estuvimos viendo diferentes pájaros que vuelan cerca de la casa, fue hermoso. Recomiendo mucho la estancia aquí!

This place was perfect for us. The balcony was incredible, we saw macaws, toucans, falcons, and many other birds. More than we saw in the National Park ! The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It exceeded our expectations and we wish we could have stayed longer. Bismark was very helpful and we loved his cat. 10 out of 10 stars, zero complaints.

This place is amazing.  One of the best views of Quepos / Manuel Antonio.  Very easy to find and Bismalck greeted us when we arrived and helped load our luggage into his custom funicular!  62 steps to the top, relatively steep but safe.  No frills and perfect for a 'home base' in Quepos if you are looking to do a lot of activities.  Parking was very easy.  You can walk up the hill to the main street where there are restaurants / etc. but it is steep so keep that in mind.  Wonderful stay and will be back here in the future!

The view from the veranda is spectacular, could literally sit for hours watching the changing hues of the sea and dot like boats/jet skis/para sails glide across the canvas. Besides the jaw dropping view Bismark was friendly and attentive in helping get settled, Dominic the cat paid a visit and nabbed himself a hot dog, the place was spotless, fast wifi, A/C was ice cold and ceiling fans helped circulate cold air ... Only niggle which is beyond our hosts control was the council decided they'd start relaying part of the road up the hill during the start of tourist season, 15 minute queue to ge to get out due to road works/delivery truck which was almost a major inconvenience but the place itself was immaculately put together with a hammock and swinging chair so comfortable to recline on the veranda as well as a massive number of towels!

We loved our stay at the beach house.  The views from the porch were mesmerizing.  Felt like paradise relaxing in the hammock.  The location was perfect with restaurants, shops and beach all in walking distance.  The apartment was basic but comfortable and homey. We would definitely stay here again. One note is that this would not be a good place for anyone who has trouble with stairs.  There are a lot of stairs to get to the apartment.

Clean accommodation, quite old but functional. The view from the balcony to the sea is amazing, soothing and allows you to see several birds every morning, including beautiful toucans. The caretaker is very friendly and attentive to carrying luggage and accommodating us.

Logement propre, assez vieux mais fonctionnel. La vue du balcon vers la mer est incroyable , apaisante et permet à chaque matin de voir plusieurs oiseaux dont de beaux toucans. Le gardiens est très sympathique et attentionné pour transporter les bagages et nous accommoder.

Wonderful stay with lots of wildlife visiting the porch!

Sarah's place is an absolute gem. The house feels like something out of a fairy tale with welcoming sounds of the jungle and the ocean all around you, breathtaking views, and a location close to the most beautiful beaches and restaurants with the most scrumptious food. Sarah herself was incredibly hospitable, quick to respond, accommodating and all around amazing.

Sarah’s place met and exceeded our expectations. The beach down the hill is incredible and the restaurants up the hill were all within walking distance (though a 4x4 or AWD is advisable if you want to drive and park on the beach, which made it that much more enjoyable). Bismark was super welcoming and responsive. Will definitely stay here again if we go to CR again.

Sarah’s place was lovely! The check-in process was very easy, and there was someone waiting for us to explain check in as we arrived.  She provided beach gear. That patio was amazing. Hammock chair, hammock, and couches overlooking the ocean! It was within walking distance to many restaurants and the beach  (as long as you’re comfortable with hills). We  definitely want to come back!!

One the most beautiful stays in Costa Rica. Amazing location with incredible view and cozy vibes. Highly recommend

The home exceeded our expectations. The view was absolutely gorgeous. Mornings were peaceful on the hammock while watching Costa Rica’s wildlife. The nature was abundant between the plants and animals. Everyday there was something new to see such as White faced monkeys, Macaws, Toucans, Mexican tree porcupine, agoutis, etc. We also loved Toby and Dominic’s various visits :) Sarah, Bismalck, and his family were very helpful.

Stunning location, lovely house, gorgeous landscaping, with all of the basic modern conveniences coupled with a rustic simplicity. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a fabulous time at the beach house! The view from the balcony was phenomenal. I enjoyed coffee every morning in the hammock watching the macaws and toucans land in the tree in front of the house. The house was convenient to restaurants, markets, beach, and Manuel Antonio National Park. Sarah provided games, cards, poker chips, and books which kept our family entertained and off screens. We also loved the binoculars and bird guides. Two things to consider: The bedrooms are comfortable and cool with AC units. The upstairs has fans but no AC so it can get very warm in the afternoon. The balcony offered relief and is where we spent most of our free time. While restaurants and the beach are close, it is very hilly and on curvy roads. We were grateful to be in good shape to walk a few places. Additionally, there are a lot of steep stairs to reach the house which could be challenging for someone with young kids, someone older, or those with mobility challenges. We hope to be back!

Yes great view and well maintained condo. Loved the games and felt like we had everything we needed. Beautiful property.

Breathtaking view that can’t be beat! We say a ton of wildlife right off the back patio. Squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys, capybara, toucan, parakeet, black squirrel, and a friendly little kitty. Provided plenty of towels and beach supplies. About a 3 min drive from the beautiful espadilla beach (with a 4x4). 2 min drive from Emilio’s Cafe (HIGHLY RECOMMEND). We could not recommend this Air Bnb more!!!

Greatly enjoyed our stay while visiting Manuel Antonio - the place is very close to the national park, with some local beaches very close by as well. We also saw monkeys, toucans, and a sloth from the Airbnb, which was amazing!

The view from the porch was amazing and made our stay! Sarah was very quick to respond to messages. Place was very clean and lots of towels and beach supplies offered. Only thing was to get to places nearby there  was a steep uphill but the views from the place made it worth it! Sarah and Bismarck were very accommodating and let us keep our luggage with them.

The balcony was a beautiful place to view wildlife and the ocean.

The place was perfect for the two of us! We were trying to beat the rain and got there a little early. Sarah was so flexible and let us check in early! Jaqueline was also very helpful and hospitable. The information provided was very very detailed. I think they thought of everything lol. The view was amazing! Restaurants in walking distance. Listening to the ocean was the perfect way to start and end our day. I appreciated the surrounding culture and Biesanz Beach was just right. I am not sure about the “musty” odor that was mentioned but we did not experience that at all. The place was just as mentioned. Would return and highly recommend.

Seriously the balcony and the view, insane. So comfortable, the bed is a little firm I must say for my taste so heads up. The windows and fans keep the air moving and there are air conditioners in the bedrooms There’s little touches you don’t know you’d like, such as the interior stairs are smooth painted concrete, no squeaks! High quality toilet tissue! And the wildlife, we saw all kinds of birds, a sloth off the balcony and lots of little lizards The beaches are nice, beware hawkers and sales people and people trying to get your money to park, do some due diligence before going to an area don’t just show up. Biezans beach or Espadilla north would be my recommendation, stay away from the far espadilla too many people and sales hawks. Vista verde good food, Emilio’s good view, agua azul good food and view.

thank you! So helpful to have your restaurant reviews too 🙂

Sarah’s place is a perfect spot for our time in the area. Several beaches, the park, and lots of things to eat and do. Be ready for some stairs!

Great location with a beautiful view! This place is a little gem. The only thing to note is that we visited during the green season, and it rained heavily on our first night. Our room got a bit flooded, and we had to use towels to stop the water from coming in. Because of the constant rain, there was a slight musty smell—so if you're sensitive to that, this Airbnb might not be the best choice during the green season.

Sarah's beach house was wonderful. The view is the best we've had anywhere we've ever stayed. The house itself is lovely. Two nice, air-conditioned bedrooms downstairs and a large living area with kitchen upstairs. It can get warm upstairs but there are ceiling fans and a wonderful ocean breeze so it was never uncomfortable. Plus the big porch is completely shaded and so relaxing. And the view! We saw so many birds. Toucans, scarlet macaws, parrots, falcons. The walk down to the beach is 10 minutes and is steep if you're walking back up. But we discovered that you can drive down to Playa Biesanz (highly recommend that beach), and pay the local guys $4 to "watch" the car. Well worth it. The national park is a 10-minute drive away, and up the street from the house there are lots of shops and restaurants. Bismarck, the caretaker, and his family were so helpful and friendly. Ask for the luggage elevator to take your bags up (lots of stairs; you'll be getting your daily steps in!).

The view from the balcony is incredible.  Whenever we were at home, we were sitting out viewing the sea and sand and nature.  A few friendly monkeys came for a visit one morning.  The AC in the bedrooms was very nice to have during the hotter humid days.  All the open windows and fans in the rest of the house made it very comfortable.  The host was very communicative providing much info about local attractions, dining and maps to beaches.   We would love to return sometime!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The beautiful view of the ocean and a location close to Quepos hot spots were among the highlights. Sarah was prompt to respond when we needed anything and Bismarck, the groundskeeper, and his wife Ada were so kind and accommodating to our needs during our stay- they even did some laundry for us at a small cost. The kitchen was well equipped and we were so grateful for well stocked linens and towels. Although there wasn’t AC in the upper kitchen area, the ocean breeze from the balcony kept us cool and we would 100% stay here again.

Wouldn’t trade all of those early morning bird watching sessions on the porch for anything.

The balcony with the most beautiful view there is There are a lot of stairs to get to the apartment and also stairs inside the apartment

המרפסת עם הנוף הכי יפה שיש יש הרבה מדרגות להגיע אל הדירה וגם מדרגות בתוך הדירה

Beautiful place, insane view. Laying in that hammock listening to the rain fall on the roof was true peace. Sarah was a great host. Thanks!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house. It was the perfect place for us to spend our last three nights in Costa Rica. The view from the upper floor and balcony is breathtaking, and the area around includes many nice restaurants and local souvenir shops, plus a steep but not too long walk to access several beaches. We spotted sloths in the neighborhood and colorful parrots from the balcony.

The thing that hits you when you arrive is the extraordinary view. Note that there are several steps to reach the apartment but the caretaker is there to welcome you. There's a lift for your luggage that makes it easy.

La chose qui vous frappe en arrivant est la vue extraordinaire. Prenez note qu’il y a plusieurs marches à franchir pour atteindre l’appartement mais le gardien est là pour vous accueillir. Il y a un monte-charge pour vos bagages qui facilite le tout.

A magnificent place in Manuel Antonio! We'll be back with my family

Un lugar magnífico en Manuel Antonio! Volveremos con mi familia

We were only there for one night but we loved this Airbnb. The upstairs deck view is truly even better than the photos. Overlooking Manuel Antonio National Park and the Pacific Ocean - we saw scarlet macaws and toucans fly by. This was our last night in Costa Rica and the deck was a perfect spot to sit and relax. Airbnb was clean and comfortable. There were even some great restaurant options in walking distance. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Sarah was so helpful, the place was beautiful. l

Our stay at Biesanz Beach House was wonderful. The location and views were beautiful. We were able to walk to the beaches as well as tasty restaurants nearby. Bismarck was wonderful and helped us with little thing that we needed throughout our stay. I can’t recommend this stay enough!

The biggest complaint by far is that the living area is not air conditioned . When we arrived, it was too hot in the living area too enjoy the fantastic views. We had to retreat to one of the bedrooms on the lower level to escape the heat. Also, the main living area is 77 steps up from the parking lot. That is a lot of steps when you have luggage. We found out after we had settled in that a luggage elevator was available but only operated by the house keeper. It would have been nice to had known that sooner. Incredible views from the balcony. Convenient to Manuel Antonio. 'Dominic" the cat is super friendly.

The view from the terrace is just exceptional. The sea, the Manuel Antonio park and the beach below are splendid. Ylang ylang diffuses a pleasant scent. The small forklift is perfect for lifting luggage and the caretaker helps you without worries. Bathroom linens are clean and complete. The super well-equipped kitchen, nothing missing...

La vue depuis la terrasse est juste exceptionnelle. La mer, le par Manuel Antonio et la plage en bas sont splendides. L’ylang ylang diffuse une senteur des plus agréables. Le petit chariot élévateur est parfait pour monter les bagages et le gardien vous aide sans soucis. Le linge de toilette est propre et complet. La cuisine super bien équipée, il ne manque rien…

This home is a true gem in the area! The house is in excellent condition, very clean and not pretentious. As long as you are fit to walk and enjoy exercising a bit with the steps, this place is worth it! The view from the terrace is so much more than any picture you can upload. We felt at home right away and enjoined our 2 night stay a lot! The house is indeed equipped with everything you can need for a comfortable stay - more than plenty of towels, snorkel gear, shower gel and shampoo, very well organized kitchen. Sarah was very responsive and provided an excellent guide for the house, surrounding area, wildlife and the history of the house. Bismarck and his wife are super nice and we fell in love with their house pets too. Beaches are indeed accessible by walking. We used the opportunity as an exercise, as the hills can get steep. Ubers are available and inexpensive for the routes to and from the beaches. I recommend Sarahs house! :) Thank you very much!

Amazing place, would love to have stayed longer. The view was amazing and we saw lots of wildlife. Not far to the beaches and restaurants . The kitchen was well equipped, beds really comfortable . Extras such as the deck chairs, snorkel’s and body board’s was an additional bonus. Would love to come back again .

The place was great! Not only was the view amazing, we got to see monkeys and macaws from the balcony. Would definitely stay again!

This was a beautiful place! Loved the decor, very relaxing and comfortable, incredible deck with great views of ocean, jungle, birds. Had a great time.

Not only is the Sarah's place amazing and has great views , Sarah and caretaker Bismark are very kind hearted and nice people. When you are away from home you are not sure about many things , my daughter wasnt feeling well the next morning and I went over to Bismark to ask if I can use his phone to call the mobile doctor, Bismark and his and daughter were so nice and so kind , they offered to take my daughter in their car to the clinic in downtown Quepos , but later on we didnt need it as she felt better. We completely felt like we were at home and very comforatable , of course in addition to the great views and the amazing Monkeys, Agoutis, Birds etc that you can get a glimpse of at Sarah's place. Sarah is very responsive and also pays great attention to detail , there are extra towels, games , books , binoculars . Thank you for making the stay feel like home , a feel which we can never get in a hotel. A special thanks to Bismark for offering help and being so kind hearted!

We spent 3 nights in the house and everything was as described. The sea view is beautiful. Nearby restaurants and access (by car ) to beaches or by hiking on the small, steep road. I recommend Sarah's house. I'd stay here again.

Passamos 3 noites na casa e tudo estava conforme descrição. A vista do mar é linda. Restaurantes nas proximidades e acesso (de carro ) a praias ou por caminhadas na pequena e íngrime estrada. Recomendo a casa de Sarah. Voltaria a me hospedar aqui.

Absolutely beautiful stay!! The balcony is wonderful and view is amazing, as we were able to see so much wildlife from the hammock. Bismarck and his wife were very kind and made us feel very welcomed. The house included everything you would need (beach towels, binoculars, etc). This stay made us feel immersed in the costa rican wildlife and nature.

The view from the balcony was incredible and the housekeeper was very helpful with checking in and our luggage.

This amazing place has everything you can wish for and more. Amazing view, comfortable and private. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Very nice views, lots of shops and restaurants nearby, and near site caretaker.  I recommend this place if you are looking for these things.  All were very responsive if and when called upon and it was most apprecitated.

Sarah and Bismarck were wonderful hosts! The home is simple and comfy - the views - absolutely breathtaking!! I’m not one to spend a lot of time in a hotel or house but the views kept us on the porch for hours - enjoying the ocean, mountains and wildlife. Incredible! I would completely come back and stay here again. Lots of steps to the house - but worth the steps for the privacy and views. And the outside shower was fabulous! Completely private and refreshing. Pura Vida!

This place has very beautiful scenery. Our first day in, we saw two red macaws just outside of the window and a large lizard on the stairway coming up to the entrance. The place was clean and exactly as the listing depicts it, and Sarah is awesome and proactive with communication.

The quiet and peaceful feeling that you find in this lovely cottage is worth every cent. We only used one of the bedrooms but the bed was very comfortable and and air conditioning was great. The two levels allowed me to be awake and my husband to sleep. We cooked a dinner and all our breakfast the kitchen was well stocked. We would definitely stay with Bismarck and Sarah again. There are a good set of stairs to get up to the cottage lots of stairs! Thank you for sharing the cottage with us Sarah

Incredible views, and home is bigger than I expected. Everything you need is there. I thought it would be hard to find but it was easy with the clear instructions. Stairs add some extra fun so make sure you're comfortable going up and down some steep stairs. Our kids had a blast spotting all the wildlife.

Perfect for wildlife lovers! We has scarlet macaws outside the window!! Many other birds too, capuchin monkeys, titi monkeys and agouti. Heaven!

This was one of the few places we have stayed where the photos of the site didn't do justice to the views.  Expect the views to be what you see and more at this place.  The neighboring caretaker is the sweetest person as well.  An added bonus was hearing the howler monkeys in the neighborhood several times a day.  It also seemed to be a popular hangout for pairs of macaws as well.

Stunning place, one of the greatest views you could imagine. Living area is open and spacious, beds were super comfortable and overall atmosphere was super relaxed and exactly what we’d been looking for. We will be back!

The view from this property is even better than the photos - you just have to be there. Charming house, full of light and very comfy. Lovely surroundings. Don't hesitate to book this one!

Perhaps the most beautiful view in CR. Loved the sunset and sunrise amoung the trees and the ample bird watching

This place is beautiful. The only thing is I think people need to be prepared for the stairs when you arrive. They said it was stairs, but I wasn’t prepared for the intensity of them. Definitely got my leg workouts each day. Bizmark got our luggage and was so helpful. Lots of great advice on activities and a big bonus to have the beach chairs, and towels for the beach.

We had just spent a week at the Marriott in Los Suenos and stayed at Baldi in La Fortuna before that. As wonderful as those stays were, Manuel Antonio was our favorite. Biesanz Beach house was dreamy. The house itself could be considered a bit rustic, but for us it was a breath of fresh air… figuratively and literally. It felt like we were staying in a treehouse. We never really saw the house from the outside, as it’s surrounded by forest. There are so many windows so you feel so immersed in nature. The veranda was the highlight of our stay and we spent most of our time on it. (I need that hanging chair!). Always a slight breeze and spectacular views not to mention a birds eye views of well… birds! We were on the flight path of a pair of Macaws and saw them several times a day. Make sure to download the Merlin app to identify all the birds. We also saw a whole fam of Howler Monkeys right in front of the house (on telephone wires), as well as a Titi monkey family down the road.
