Moonshine Inn - Pool Level 2 BR/2 BA Suite - Vacation homes for Rent in Manuel Antonio, Quepos, Costa Rica

The house is beautiful, we stayed for 4 nights in 5 people. The house have all the amenities you can possibly needs and we cook a lot usually. Bbq is great, the pool is beautiful and the property is located a 10 minutes drive from everything you need. Strongly recommend the place

Thanks for the nice reply. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again should you one day return to Manual Antonio. Pura vida!

The Moonshine Inn was well worth it!  Beautiful area and surroundings.  One evening, as we sat by the pool, we were greeted by a bunch of monkeys in the trees.  Very secluded and close to Manuel Antonio National Park.

Well-located, comfortable house with everything you need. Great communication with the host. We would repeat it without a doubt!

Casa bien ubicada, comoda y con todo lo necesario. Excelente comunicacion con el anfitrion. Repetiríamos sin dudarlo!

Wonderful, oustanding place!  Beautiful house and surroundings! Great pool! We even saw monkeys from the pool

Our family of 6 had an amazing stay! The moment we arrived, Lorena was waiting for us to show us around and was so kind to provide us with tips and a map explaining the Manuel Antonio area, which turned out extremely useful! The pool was definitely spectacular, big enough to have a nice swim but also to just hang around and enjoy the nature around (many animals to be seen like moneys, we saw a tucan and other birds). We had some people working on the property above but they didn't make any noise and we're very kind. They even brought us a fresh fish they caught their selves which we very much enjoyed! We also received very nice coffee from the host which we took back home, lovely! This place definitely was hosted the best way compared to the other 2 places we visited in Costa Rica. I totally recommend it!

Beautiful place and excellent service from Martín and Lorena. We would definitely come back :)

Lugar precioso  y excelente la atención de Martín y Lorena. Definitivamente volveríamos :)

It was a pleasure to host them. They will always be welcome 🤙

The house, location, pool and grounds were all so beautiful. about a 10 minute walk to the main road where you'll find stores and restaurants. A great local restaurant and grocery store about a 5 minute walk away. it certainly wasn't a deal breaker for us but a softer mattress in the master bedroom would have better suited our preference. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a gorgeous house in a perfect location.

So happy to have hosted such a beautiful family. Welcome back anytime. Pura Vida!

I wish I could give 10 stars! This was the best communication I’ve ever experienced with a host. We had a medical emergency and Martin and his associates helped us every step of the way. The property was lovely with many birds. The pool was incredible and the pictures in the listing are accurate. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. I’m already wishing I could return. Pura Vida.

This place is a gem! Martin and Lorena were so lovely and communicative. We saw monkeys by the pool every morning. Absolutely gorgeous place and walkable to a market and a restaurant. This was perfect for our family of five! Highly recommend.

The place was very nice! The only thing is that the electricity is a problem at the Airbnb. It happened to us twice, and that kind of dampened the mood. I also want to say that everything is very nice and clean, and the communication is very good! I just didn't like that they went into the house while we were there and while we weren't there as well. You're supposed to rent the space looking for privacy and for it to be all yours.

Estuvo muy bonito el lugar! Lo único es que la luz es un problema en el Airbnb, nos pasó 2 veces y pues eso medio bajó el ambiente. También decir que tienen muy bonito todo, limpio y la comunicación es muy buena! Solo no me pareció que se metieran a la casa mientras estábamos ahí y mientras no estábamos también. Se supone que rentas el espacio buscando privacidad y que sea solo tuyo.

I need to clarify these comments which do not accurately state the circumstances. While power  did go down twice it was not due to any issue at our house. One time was due to downed power lines during an extremely heavy rainy season. We do note in our listing that power outages are not uncommon in Costa Rica. Perhaps the guests did not read the special nots and rules in the listing as they also did not comply with the quiet hours. Neighbors complained about the loud music all night. The second loss of power was caused by a neighbor who cut the power at the box at the street   — a first in 12 years of rentals. (We added a padlock.) I entered the property because A/C units were left running when the guests were out for the day. We ask guests upon arrival (and have signs in the house) to conserve energy by not running ac when out. I did not mention these issues  in my review as I personally found the guests to be friendly and having fun.

Very nice and quiet place surrounded by beautiful nature. We saw the monkeys pass by every afternoon at 4 PM. The pool was the best place to be. Everything was clean and Lorena was extremely kind, very friendly and very helpful.

Muy bonito lugar y tranquilo rodeado de la hermosa naturaleza veíamos a los monos todas las tardes pasar a las cuatro P.M. La piscina fue el mejor lugar para estar todo estaba limpio y Lorena fue demasiado amable muy simpática y muy servicial

A beautiful spot.  Lorena checked us in, got an idea of our itinerary, and then gave us specific recommendations based on where we were going and that we were traveling with children. Great pool.

Excellent stay at Martins place - it’s a 5 min drive from everything in Manuel Antonio. The pool is amazing and you will see monkeys back there in the evenings in the trees. Couple of points to note is that the power grid on the street is very old so the power does go out from time to time. The Internet can also be very slow and unstable at some times. Lastly, as with most properties in Manuel Antonio, there is a requirement to place used toilet paper in the trashcan instead of the toilet, which took some getting used to. However, we would still use this property again when we return to the area!

The Moonshine in was just what we were looking for! The wildlife was very active and fun to watch! We all enjoyed the location with a short trip to the beach in the mornings and relaxed in the pool in the afternoon.  I would highly recommend the host and the house!

Martin was attentive at all times. Thank you so much! I would stay with Martin again.

Martin estuvo atento en todo momento. Muchas gracias! Volvería a hospedarme con Martin.

Our experience was excellent! We traveled with a five-month-old baby and the availability of the crib on site made the stay more than pleasant! With two and a half bathrooms, two bedrooms and the kitchen room being a third bedroom, it makes the place spacious and with privacy inside the house for guests! We had the advantage of being in the downstairs house and that during our stay there were no guests on the second floor, but I must note that with people upstairs, sharing the pool a few meters from the settings and windows of our apartment on the first floor would not have been so pleasant, the same goes for the bbq! The king size bed in the master bedroom has a mattress with springs that you can feel a little, and it doesn't make the bed that comfortable. The sofa bed in the living room is extremely comfortable, as are the other two beds in the second bedroom. The host 10/10, and the location is unbeatable! I would always go back to this place!

Nuestra experiencia fue excelente! Viajamos con una bebé de cinco meses y la disponibilidad de la cuna en el sitio hizo de la estadía algo más que placentero! Con dos baños y medio, con dos habitaciones y siendo la sala de la cocina una tercer habitación hace que el lugar sea espacioso y con privacidad dentro de la casa para los huéspedes! Tuvimos los ventaja de estar en la casa de abajo y que durante nuestra estadía no habían huéspedes en la segunda planta, pero he de anotar que con personas arriba, el uso compartido de la piscina a pocos metros de las puestas y ventanas de nuestro apartamento en la primer planta no hubiese sido tan placentera, lo mismo pasa con el bbq! La cama King de la habitación principal tiene un colchón que se le sienten los resortes un poco y no hace la cama tan confortable. El sofá cama de la sala sumamente cómodo, al igual que las otras dos camas de la segunda habitación. El host 10/10, y la ubicación insuperable! Volvería siempre a este lugar!

The house is close to a shopping center, with several restaurants within walking distance, and markets very close. It is also a few kilometers from a very nice and extensive public beach, Espadilla Norte. The house is complete, clean and has everything you need to have a good stay. We saw more animals at Martin's house than in Manuel Antonio Park!! A toucan in a tree, monkeys... Martin is very attentive and was always available to answer messages and concerns. I recommend it.

La casa está cerca de un centro comercial, con varios restaurantes a poca distancia, mercados muy cerca. Asimismo, se encuentra a pocos kilómetros de una playa pública muy bonita y extensa, Espadilla Norte. La casa está completa, limpia y tiene todo lo necesario para pasar una buena estadia. Vimos más animales en la casa de Martin que en el parque Manuel Antonio!! un tucán en un árbol, monitos... Martin es muy atento y siempre estuvo disponible para responder mensajes e inquietudes. Lo recomiendo.

Beautiful home walkable to small grocery store, and local family owned restaurant- which was amazing. The home is quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful trees, birds, and short drive to all the local activities. The pool was lovely. Lorena provided excellent directions and local recommendations. Would highly recommend!

Great place to stay. We hope to go back again. Thank you

Nice place - you got a warm welcome and everything worked just as we could hope.

Dejligt sted - man fik en varm velkomst og alt fungerede ligesom vi kunne håbe.

We had a great time at the house. The children loved the pool and had plenty of space to play. The kitchen was great for cooking. We were very comfortable. It is a very nice house, but it would need some small cosmetic repairs. Lorena's welcome, introduction to the house and valuable tips for activities were great. She is a very warm woman. Thank you Lorena ❤️

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in dem Haus. Die Kinder liebten den Pool und hatten viel Platz zum Spielen. Die Küche war toll zum Kochen. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl. Es ist ein sehr schönes Haus, welches allerdings einige kleine Schönheitsreparaturen bräuchte. Lorena's Begrüßung, Einweisung ins Haus und wertvolle Tipps für Unternehmungen waren super. Sie ist eine sehr herzliche Frau. Vielen Dank Lorena ❤️

We stayed as a family of 5.  We loved it!  The pool was fun, the jungle and wildlife right in the backyard was awesome!  We saw monkeys, macaws, ghekos, iguanas, all sort of cool frogs, agute, variety of birds…a really comfortable space.  We enjoyed eating in a couple evenings in the comfortable well appointed kitchen.  Having a washer and dryer was so convenient.  The beds were comfortable.  It was nice having an outdoor shower to rinse off at after the beach.  Lorena was the on site host and she was wonderful.  Gave us a thorough walk through of the house explaining all the things.  Then was great explaining the whole area and things to do nearby.  Martin, the owner, was also great at communicating after booking and offering information and things to do in the area.  It was so close to the national park and numerous beaches.  The beaches were so nice!  This was our first time to Costa Rica, and my family loved it.  Hoping to return and stay at the Moonshine Inn again!

All the information and directions for finding it and entering was very clear. We only got to stay 2 nights, but it was more than comfortable and we enjoyed the pool. Plenty of ahops and restaurants in the area. We really appreciated the complimentary coffee from his families farm. We asked to purchase some and he gave us his sisters contact. We went to San Ramon on our way back to San Jose and purchased directly from her.

Our stay at Martin and Lorena’s Airbnb was absolutely perfect! The home was so beautiful and spotless—you can tell they take great care of every detail. From the very beginning, they explained everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable. They also gave us amazing local recommendations that really enhanced our trip. What really stood out was their kindness and hospitality. After check-out, they graciously let us store our luggage and even use the shower before our departure, which made a huge difference. Lorena especially went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We honestly can’t recommend this place enough—one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had!

Très bon séjour dans cette maison moderne et confortable entourée de verdure. La maison est très bien équipée. La piscine débordante est très agréable. Les conditions d’accueil et de départ étaient très bien organisées.

Got to see more animals from the pool than in the nationalpark

Great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and just as described. The host was friendly and responsive. Would definitely book again!

sin duda el mejor lugar para hospedarse en Manuel Antonio. Excelente  hospedaje, limpio, seguro. Un lugar hermoso lleno de naturaleza.  Martin y Lorena fueron muy amables y atentos en nuestra estadía. Es el hospedaje perfecto para unas vacaciones en Manuel Antonio. 100000/10

This was by far the best stay of our entire Costa Rica trip. The property exceeded all expectations — even more spacious and beautiful than the photos suggest. The large, well-maintained pool was a highlight, and the lush forest directly opposite added a magical touch. One afternoon while we were swimming, a family of squirrel monkeys appeared in the treetops, giving us the unforgettable experience of watching the mothers care for their young and forage high above. Our host, Martin, was outstanding — thoughtful, proactive, and always available. He even called us personally to make sure we were safe when a tsunami warning was issued for the beach. Every detail of the property was impeccably maintained, and we truly felt taken care of from start to finish. A perfect stay in every way.

Great location!! Very close to walk to the little market and homemade cooking. Our kids loved having the pool. The ac’s were great. Fast and clear communication. I would definitely recommend this place.

Martin's place is beautiful, we loved hanging around at the pool and it has a great location! We would definitely stay again!!

Je recommande! Il ne manque de rien dans cette maison, très agréable la vie extérieure avec la piscine! De pouvoir marcher chez l'épicier du coin est génial, petit resto local juste à côté de ce dernier, délicieux!

Nos fue muy bien! La comunicación fue excelente, Lorena (quien nos recibió) fue muy amable. La casa tenía de todo. La ubicación y la vista muy bonita.

Location was beautiful, easy to find and navigate. Pool was awesome and surrounded by jungle. Overall was a great place! You do have to be aware of critters as you are in the jungle but definitely dont leave ANY food out as there are  A LOT of ants. I would say overall it's a beautiful place, my only con was that there was a strange smell coming from the inside of the home. Noticed black marks on the walls, since I know rainy places are subject to mold. But overall it was a pleasant stay!

lovely house,very peaceful. Lorena and Martin were very responsive, we managed to lock the bathroom door on the way out of the bathroom, I messaged Lorena and she arrived within minutes to unlock the door. the pool was so refreshing.

My family and I were so pleased with our choice. The home was very clean, lots of parking. The outdoor covered patio is perfect for rainy evenings. The pool was cleaned as soon as we got there and we enjoyed it every day. I recommend going to the home before going to the grocery store because it is well stocked. Martin even had coffee from their family and it was the best coffee we had the whole time we were in Costa Rica. The restaurant recs from Lorena were on point and delicious. I suggest staying for at least three or four days because the amount of wildlife that traverses through the property changes from day-to-day. There is a resident sloth that lives right outside the gates and we saw him three out of the five days that we were there. another sloth that we saw every morning on our walk that was about a 10 minute distance from home. So many tropical birds. We would stay here again, highly recommend. Check out was extremely easy and effortless. Also, several walkable restaurants.

Moonshine Inn was great! It was comfortable and quiet, and the pool was nice! It was convenient to all of the attractions in Manuel Antonio. Nothing was more than a few minutes’ drive away.  Martin and Lorena were excellent hosts. They provided lots of great local information, helped book tours, and even arranged to deliver an item my daughter left. We had a great trip. Don’t miss the guided nature walk. It was phenomenal, and we saw so many animals! Enjoy!

Wonderful stay - could not have asked for a more magical location or a more gracious host.

Where to begin? Very spacious condo in a secure location. Close to a little market that we visited daily! Lorena was so kind meeting us at the rental and showing us all around. She and Martin gave us tons of recommendations as well.  We saw monkeys (squirrel and capuchin), toucans, parrots, frogs and lizards all from the backyard!! Do make sure you seal your food up well or bugs will find their way to it.  Loved our stay! The absolute perfect location 🤙

Martin's place was an absolute gem! We had a fantastic stay and couldn't have asked for a better location for exploring Manuel Antonio National Park. The unit was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The pool was a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature. The proximity to the park entrance was convenient. Martin was also very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. I highly recommend Martin's place for anyone looking for a peaceful and convenient base to experience the beauty of Manuel Antonio!

Thanks Chris. Loved having you stay here.

Excellent location, beautiful setting. The place is walking distance to a supermarket and restaurant. It is close to the national park as well. Martin and Lorena were extremely helpful with recommendations and our communication was great. The pool has a beautiful view and you can see the capuchin monkeys playing on the trees. Would highly recommend this place.

This was our last place during our travels in Costa Rica. The host (Martin) was exceptionally friendly and attentive to all of our needs. He really made us feel welcome and at home. Very comfortable place, lot’s of room, great kitchen and bathrooms. Everything in working order, we used the grill every night to make home cooked meals for our kids. We where at the “pool level” and we had instant access to the wonderful pool and terrace. Wildlife was amazing from this place, we witnessed squirrel monkeys passing through the trees while we enjoyed coffee in the morning! Same in the evenings when we used the pool.

Moonshine Inn was a real oasis. The pool was wonderful. The back deck is situated amongst the tops of trees. Every so often squirrel monkeys would pass through, grazing on the fruits and flowers. Later on, groups of white faces monkeys would do the same. Other times, it was macaws or toucans. It is also situated a short walk from a grocery store and many restaurants, and a short drive to the heart or Manuel Antonio, the national park, various beaches, and Quepos.

Un endroit plus que parfait, piscine et terrasse incroyable, très belle maison. Piscine propre nettoyer a tout les matins, cuisine complète et meilleur café inclus. Nous avons eu la chance de voir beaucoup d’animaux, surtout des singes

Martin was amazing!!! He took such great care of us during our stay. Even went and got medicine for our kid so we didn’t have to leave the pool!! Lorena was so sweet getting us acclimated to the house. She was present during checkin and walked us around the property.  We spotted monkeys every morning and other wild life as well. Walking distance to a store and the best Soda ever! We were there for our anniversary and Martin & Lorena gave us a gift. So so sweet! We are renting the entire house next time and bringing our entire family!

Lorena and I can’t be happier to welcome you back to Moonshine for the holidays later this year with more members of your wonderful family. Will be a Pura Vida Christmas!!

Nice place to stay, close to restaurants and activities. Loved all the wildlife you enjoyed while relaxing by the pool.

We were warmly welcomed and house perfect size. Ussues with dryer but Martin came and got it working quickly. Patio door doesn't close properly, lots of bugs into house, but kind of expected in Costa Rica. Loved the monkeys and pool area.

Comfortable and private! Great local recommendations. The pool was cleaned daily and so refreshing after s day of birding, hiking or beaching. Friendly! Loved our stay! Pura Vida

Alojamiento cómodo y amplio. Los anfitriones muy preocupados y atentos a cualquier consulta buena ubicación

Great place, clean and very helpful hosts with a ton of information on the region. Only change would be to add a few nice board games to the place and maybe a water heater kettle.

Fantastic place and we saw so many different animals. The wildlife from the terass was amazing. One of our top things in Costa Rica.

Martin was very respectful and answer all my questions and more. would definitely stay there again. thank you martin.  People should definitely stay here very quiet and alot of monkeys.

Place was great, beautiful pool and host did great recommendations.

Amazing to see monkeys, sloths and toucans from your patio! A troop of some 20 monkeys came through the trees at the pool’s edge. Our kids loved the pool. House is a good size and well-laid out. Martin is a kind, responsive host. He says he plans to make some necessary repairs/upgrades soon.

Very good stay in Martin's house. The restaurant 200 meters away was our canteen so good.

Très bon séjour dans la maison de Martin. Le restaurant à 200 mètres était notre cantine tellement c'était bon.

Martin communicated all required information in advance and put us in contact with Lorena, a very welcoming host!!! The rental had everything for our stay, but our “coup de ❤️” was the amazing outdoor space. We were lucky enough to enjoy the visit from 2 different types of monkeys … and many other wild life!

We had a great stay at this property. Nice house with all the facilities and taken care of wonder by Lorena and Martin at all times. We highly recommend it

Tuvimos una excelente estadía en esta propiedad. Linda casa con todas las facilidades y atendidos de maravilla por Lorena y Martin en todo momento. La recomendamos ampliamente

We had a lovely stay. We enjoyed the pool, watching a troop of monkeys come through, made use of the washer and dryer, and overall had a great time. Lorena, the local property manager, is a gem. She was responsive and super helpful for the duration of our stay. I would stay here again!

very pleasant place!!! as described!!! too familiar!!! all super delighted!!! place to come back again and again!!! super friendly people!!

lugar muy ameno!!! así como se describe!!! demasiado familiar!!! todos super encantados!! lugar para volver una y otra vez!!! personas super amigables!!

Martín and Lorena welcomed us and guided all the way to the condominium since we were traveling. The condominium is very nice and with all conditions, including a first-class courtesy coffee. The pool and its surroundings are beautiful. I appreciate the kindness of Martín y Lorena towards me and my family that allowed us to spend an excellent time in Manuel Antonio.

Martín y Lorena nos recibieron y guiaron en todo el trayecto hasta el condominio desde que veníamos viajando. El condominio es muy lindo y con todas las condiciones, incluyendo un café de cortesía de primera. La piscina y su entorno es bellísima. Agradezco la gentileza de Martín y Lorena hacia mi y mi familia que nos permitió pasar un excelente tiempo en Manuel Antonio.

Martin is a great host and great communicator and the check-in was easy and the checkout was easy. Nice location.

Amazing experience! Martin and the property manager Lorena went above and beyond to help us make the most of our stay in Manuel Antonio. The house was beautiful, private, and well-located. I would absolutely recommend this airbnb!

Everything was great Everyone was great

the place is spectacular,sober,very quiet and too comfortable.

el alojamiento es espectacular,sobrio,muy tranquilo y demasiado cómodo.

Martin’s place is beautiful and we particularly enjoyed the pool and watching for monkeys from there. But the real gems are Martin and his in-country host Lorena. He truly went above and beyond. We got into a pinch before arrival and he saved the day. We are truly grateful. And—it’s a great place!!!

Thanks Emily — I’m glad it all worked out and you were able to get your Manuel Antonio family vacation back on track quickly! It was a challenge given the circumstances but you all were good humored and patient. I would love to host you again if you’re ever back our way! Maybe I will cross paths with you in DC!

Martin was very helpful and responsive and gave us great recommendations. Lorena is an angel and made our time at the Moonshine in so welcoming and special. We have a toddler and they were very supportive and helpful with our needs. Both Martin and Lorena were so kind and supportive with what we needed during our stay. The moonshine is so pretty and peaceful and close to so many great restaurants and the national park!

Beautiful accommodation in a quiet area, but near all activities en beautiful places. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Well equipted spacious kitchen, bbq. Superfriendly hosts Lorena and Martin. Pool very enjoyable with a fantastic view at wildlife around the pool (iguanes, monkees, birds). We enjoyed Moonshine Inn very, very much!

The Moonshine Inn was the best place for our family of 6 to stay while in Manuel Antonio. The pool was amazing for the kids and the home had everything we needed. The grocery store was close and all of the fun adventures and beach are nearby as well.

very nice place, especially the lower home with the pool on foot. very well-equipped.

très beau logement, notamment le logement inférieur avec la piscine à plan pied. très bien équipé.

Moonshine fût l'un de mes coup de coeur! Sitting on the terrace every morning with my coffee to watch monkeys, iguanas, toucans in the trees right next to the pool♥️. I would go back anytime and recommend to everyone. A big thank you to Martin and also to Lorena who was available 24/7 and contributed to the success of our trip. Not to mention Olman, the taxi is always ready to transport us according to our travels.♥️♥️♥️

Moonshine fût l'un de mes coup de coeur! S'assoir sur la terrasse à tous les matins avec mon café pour regarder les singes, iguanes, toucans dans les arbres juste à côté de la piscine ♥️. J'y retournerais n' importe quand et le recommande à tous. Un gros gros merci à Martin et aussi à Lorena qui était disponible en tout temps et a contribué à la réussite de notre voyage. Sans oublier Olman, le taxi toujours prêt à nous transporter selon nos déplacements.♥️♥️♥️

Thank you Any we would love to have you back “anytime” !!

I echo what all other guests say: the outdoor area/pool/potential wild life makes Martin's place a gem! We saw monkeys, toucans, frogs, hummingbirds, and giant grasshoppers all in our short 5 day stay. Forget a night tour, just look out the window! All that to be said, I feel like we paid for the outdoor space more than the home. The place just wasn't polished for the price point with several maintenance issues (including the outside doors not sealing shut). There were also sugar ants all over the kitchen and mosquitos throughout the house (I didn't experience this in any other Airbnb during my stay in CR). But... it was probably all worth it for an amazing location and pool.

We had an amazing time in Manuel Antonio. Martin and Leonor are always very attentive to help us with what we need. Very good hosts. We loved the pool, very rich to get from the beach to enjoy those cooler baths.

Los pasamos increíble estos días en Manuel Antonio. Martin y Leonor siempre muy atentos para ayudarnos en lo que necesitemos. Muy buenos anfitriones. Nos encantó la piscina, muy rico llegar de la playa a disfrutar esos baños más fríos .

Very good service. Martin helped me resolve an issue with the reservation before my arrival and the treatment was excellent. The house is very comfortable, an excellent pool and a view with a lot of biodiversity and animal sighting. Very good experience

Muy buena atención. Martín me ayudó a resolver un contratiempo con la reserva antes de mi llegada y el trato fue excelente. La casa es muy cómoda, una piscina excelente y una vista con mucha biodiversidad y avistamiento animales. Muy buena experiencia

Jose I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and that we were able to help resolve the booking issue. Safe travels and we’d welcome to host your family anytime. Pura vida! Martin

We loved our stay! It’s good location and clean and safe. We hope to go back! Thanks for a nice stay!

Really enjoyed our stay at Moonshine inn. Watched monkeys and toucans overhead while in pool within an hour of our stay. Great and easy communication with host. Pura Vida

We really enjoyed our stay at Moonshine Inn - it was a peaceful location with a wonderful pool and surroundings! Martin (and Lorena) were wonderful hosts and offered great recommendations on things to do and places to see (and what to avoid). Martin was especially helpful is setting a last minute tour of the park. Will definitely come back to this beautiful part of Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

We absolutely loved our stay at Moonshine Inn. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the wildlife and birds from the pool deck. The layout/design of the house was wonderful for our family of four: the covered patio allowed us to enjoy the outdoors even in the rain, spacious bedrooms,  the pool, washer and dryer were so convenient! We totally enjoyed being both close to the main street of Manuel Antonio with well-known restaurants  and being in a local's neighborhood through which we took an early morning walk up to Mountain Top park for an almost 360 degree view of the area (incredible!).  Great communication with Neil and Lorena the property manager. Great recommendations for restaurants, tips to enjoy nearby Biesanz beach (avoid high tide). We were genuinely sad to end our trip, but were happy it ended at Moonshine Inn!

We stayed at Moonshine for 5 nights and Neil and Lorena were wonderful hosts. They were very responsive to any concerns we had. Martin was also great and coordinated local wildlife and snorkel tours for us. The location and views were great. Cerdo Feliz - a great little restaurant, and a little grocery store with all the essentials, are a short walk away.  The pool and BBQ were a bonus too for days when we were exhausted from all our adventures! We didn't see any sloths (maybe because our kids were too loud) but we saw macaws, other exotic birds, and monkeys in the trees around the house. We rented the whole house for our family of 10, so I can't comment on privacy if you're only renting one of the units. There were a few maintenance concerns, but most were promptly addressed by Neil & Lorena.  Overall, our stay at Moonshine was really good and we'd recommend staying there, especially if you have a group large enough to need both units. Thanks so much Neil, Martin and Lorena!

Martin's place is amazing! He has so many wonderful reviews for a reason. We came to Costa Rica with our two young children (3 yrs and 4 yrs) and this place was perfect for families with kids. The stand out amenity was the pool! It is gorgeous, surrounded by tropical views, and we were visited by the monkeys and toucans multiple days. Our girls spent every single day in the pool. Martin is also a stand out host. He had the best communication I've ever had with an airbnb host, it felt like talking to a friend! We booked a few tours through him and he personally made sure both went smoothly. There was a cleaning woman that came in the middle of our stay which was great. Overall we found this place was perfect for our little family in Costa Rica. Pura vida!

Erin — you and your family are so very nice and the perfect guests. I’m glad you had a great stay and many visitors from the jungle to your pool time. Please come back and stay again! Pura Vida — Martin

Martin's villa was the perfect location to enjoy a visit to the Manuel Antonio area, we especially enjoyed our time spent around the pool watching all the local wildlife, each day we saw a sloth, a pair of toucans, monkeys and various other birds and animals. a small store and restaurant was within easy walking distance. we would recommend a stay at Martin's villa.

This house was fantastic for getting the jungle atmosphere of an ecolodge but with some amenities like air conditioning and sealed windows to keep out the bugs. We saw monkeys every morning from the window and other wildlife. It’s not meant to be a Marriott rather to connect you with nature and it does just that.  The host was one of the most personable I’ve ever dealt with. Not only did he arrange a tour for us but worked hard to find us an afternoon tour despite several companies canceling their afternoon tours (and it didn’t end up raining anyways).

Excellent service, a paradise to enjoy ...we will be back in the next days

Excelente servicio, un paraíso para disfrutar ...estaremos de nuevo en los próximos días

Beautiful and quiet place, super recommending to relax and recharge energy surrounded by nature :) Martin and Marlen were always super attentive to everything and were very kind to us.

Hermoso lugar y tranquilo, súper recomendando a ir a descansar y recargar energía rodeados de naturaleza :) Martín y Marlen siempre estuvieron súper atentos a todo y fueron muy amables con nosotras.

An amazing accommodation, very much in contact with nature, we saw changuitos, toucans, macaws, owls and even a lazy one in front of the pool. The house is very enjoyed and the attention upon arrival was very good. Highly recommended for visiting Manuel Antonio

Un alojamiento increíble , muy en contacto con la naturaleza, vimos changuitos, tucanes, guacamayas, búhos y hasta un perezoso enfrente de la alberca. Se disfruta mucho la casa y las atención al llegar fue muy buena. Muy recomendable para visitar Manuel Antonio.

Martin is a great host. He was always in touch with us and helped to ensure that everything was fine with our stay.

The stay was perfect, from the first moment Martin was in constant contact, always attentive and helpful despite not being present, Nicolas who helps Martin to welcome the guests always had a kind treatment and helped us with some things we needed. The place was amazing we had a pretty enjoyable stay, the place is well equipped with all that one may need, it was in a pretty safe area and although the street to get to the place is not paved, it is suitable for any type of vehicle no problem, it definitely met our expectations from start to finish. We would definitely stay at this place again. Thanks Martin

La estadía fue perfecta, desde el primer momento Martín estuvo en constante contacto, siempre atento y anuente a ayudar a pesar de no estar presente, Nicolas quien ayuda a Martin a recibir a los huéspedes siempre tuvo un trato amable y nos ayudó con algunas cosas que necesitábamos. El lugar estuvo increíble tuvimos una estadía bastante amena, el lugar está bien equipado con todo lo que uno puede necesitar, estaba en una zona bastante segura y aunque la calle para llegar al lugar no está pavimentada, es apta para cualquier tipo de vehículo sin problema, definitivamente cumplió con nuestras expectativas de principio a fin. Definitivamente volveríamos a quedarnos en este alojamiento. Gracias Martín.

Everything is very good, it feels like home

Nice and clean place. We really enjoyed the pool. It didn’t feel as private as I had hoped but, it was still a great place to stay overall and I would recommend it to others. Great short distance to restaurants and supermarket .Great host communication. The washer/dryer unit really came in handy too!

We had a great time, friendly attitude, every question and need. Martin even managed to get us on a short site for entry tickets and a tour to San Antonio Park, even though we were not able to at all on site.

מאוד מאוד נהנינו, יחס ידידותי, מענה לכל שאלה וצורך. מרטין אף הצליח להשיג לנו באתרה קצרה כרטיסי כניסה וסיור לפארק סאן אנטוניו , למרות שלא הצלחנו כלל באתר.

Family-friendly home with teenagers. The beds are comfortable and the home well equipped. The place is located on a quiet street. Ocean views were not possible from our home, but we enjoyed the terrace between two rentals. Martin provided us with very good information about activities in the region and helped us with a booking problem at Manuel Antonio Park. The pool was a little cool in early July, but very nice. We recommend this place.

Logement adaptée aux familles avec adolescents. Les lits sont confortables et la maison bien équipée. L’endroit est situé dans une rue tranquille. La vue sur l’océan n’était pas possible de notre logement, mais nous avons profité de la terrasse entre deux locations. Martin nous a fourni de très bonnes informations sur les activités dans la région et nous a aidé pour un problème de réservation au parc Manuel Antonio. La piscine était un peu fraîche en début juillet, mais très agréable. Nous recommandons ce logement.

Martin was so wonderful even being out of town!!! Every single time I had a question he responded so quick. He recommended places for us to go and things for us to do. The house was gorgeous, the pool was amazing, I always felt so safe. I would stay here over and over again. 100% recommend anyone looking for a place in Manuel Antonio to stay here!!

Thank you Martin for the great stay! We especially enjoyed the pool, airconditioned rooms and all of your friendly tips. Definitely on our list to stay again.

Short stay but an awesome weekend get away! The place was beautiful and felt private even with other guests. Martin and his team were so inviting, and made sure we were taking care of every step of the way! Would definitely be coming back!

Thanks Clayton — we loved having you and your peeps at Moonshine. We’d love to have you back. Safe travels and pura vida!
