Casa Alegria, Ocean View, 4 bedroom Home - Houses for Rent in Quepos, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Beautiful location! Lots of animals and gorgeous views of the ocean!

Beautiful home! Very spacious and the view is unmatched. We originally booked a place down the road that was very misleading online, and messaged Mauricio to book immediately. We couldn’t get in the same night but he met us there and even picked us up at 11:30am to check in the next morning! The house is beautiful and the wildlife is amazing here! We had two sloths in the trees everyday, monkeys, and even a toucan right outside our balcony! We’ve been to the national park previously and saw more here this visit. The house is “walkable” to a few restaurants and the beach but be prepared for the hills. Manuel Antonio is steep and not necessarily the most walkable place as sidewalks end and cars fly around the mountain. But we’ve been here a few times so we felt comfortable navigating the streets! The walk down to the beach is short but the hike up is NO JOKE. We’re all in great shape and it only took 4 min but it is intense. Overall, 10/10! Great service, super responsive & helpful!

What an amazing stay. This place should really be marketed more toward the amazing views and wildlife that you get right outside your balcony. Rename it to Casa Alegria National Park! For perspective we spent a few days here, went to Manuel Antonio national park with no real white face monkey experiences. This didn’t matter because I ate breakfast on the balcony with a group of 4 of them on a daily basis. We had a hard time spotting toucans anywhere else, but every morning I woke up with 3 or 4 of them in the trees. Howler monkeys? Check. Scarlett macaws? Check. The place is gorgeous, the pool is great, the hosts are amazing! What really got me is the backyard. Worth it over and over!

Beautiful place in the hearth of Manuel Antonio, walking distance to the beach and a few nice restaurants. Views are amazing from every room

This place was a rustic experience. The location is very nice and that's the reason for paying the premium. The house keeping was everyday which was awesome. Its proximity to beach and the wildlife is also worth the price paid. The only issue we realize one of the room was not connected and its own. Also the showerareas and tub are open in bedroom, so its kinda tricky sometimes when using them :) While its advantage for many. For us with kids that isolated room downstairs  was not usable.  Other then that I highly recommend the place and the vibes.

Fabulous house. Well stocked. Great view with proximity to the beach and surrounded by wild life.

Amazing view, the air conditioning was nice, and overall I had a good stay. However, the hot tub turned out to just be a lukewarm bath. The outdoor "hot tub" was just a smaller kiddie pool that didn't heat up, so I think what they call the "hot tub" is the jaccuzi in the master bedroom, but the hot water only got to lukewarm and was not at all enjoyable for a bath, let alone a hot tub experience. If you're coming for the views, wildlife, and nice air conditioned rooms it's great but don't pay more for the "hot tub".

We can’t wait to return to Casa Alegria! It had everything we needed including hot showers with great water pressure! The wildlife and the views made the trip. We saw more animals from the patio than we did on the Manuel Antonio tour. Mauricio and staff were excellent to work with and can connect you with anything you need. We used the private chef and the food was outstanding!

This is an excellent house for a vacation. I don't write reviews often but this place was amazing. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful vacation with lots to do around you.  The staff was excellent.

Casa Alegria is a stunner!!!  The house and the view is exactly what you see in the pictures. Mauricio serves as your concierge. He setup airport shuttles, all our tours, and private chefs for a few meals. He is excellent.  Something I did not know (maybe I missed it) is that a very nice woman came over every day to make sure the kitchen was clean, the beds and baths were refreshed, and she was even able to do some laundry.  We tipped her well because of all the things she did and the time she spent. Not complaining at all, just an added expense to know about.  We traveled with another couple and our two kids under 4. We all loved the daily visits by monkeys and a sloth.  The private beach is not the easiest walk with super young kids, it’s paved/cobblestone but in the rainy season it’s quite slick. We opted to pay the $4 uber to the beach to avoid dropping the baby :-)  There are a number of excellent restaurants in walking distance up the hill. Would definitely stay here again!

The name says it all! I love Casa Alegria 😍 and Mauricio and Haeilyn were wonderful! Haeilyn Kept the home clean and was friendly and Mauricio was at our service anytime! Coordinating rides and giving great recommendations.

Wow! What a place! We were really looking forward to staying here and it did not disappoint. Lovely setting surrounded by trees with loads of wildlife. Great house with massive rooms and loads of space for our big family trip. Pool was great as well. Short walk or drive down to the beach and easy to walk to restaurants as well - or a very short drive to the town for more options. Close to the national park. Easy check in and top communication. Would 100% recommend staying here!

Such an amazing house! We had such a wonderful time, we never wanted you to leave. It was so much fun to watch and listen to all of the wildlife from the balconies. The kids loved swimming in the pool and walking down to the beach. The house was clean and the amenities were as described.

A wonderful stay at Casa Alegria. The house is beautiful and the view amazing. We loved the pool, the monkeys, toucans, and easy walk to restaurants and the beach.  We hope to return and  “stay forever “ !!

Alexander was so helpful in scheduling our excursions and Haley was so thorough and kind in keeping the house clean. Loved the house and had a wonderful stay. I would highly recommend to all my friends and colleagues

This house was absolutely beautiful!  We had Monkeys everyday, a sloth in the tree and toucans that came for a visit.  The pool was amazing!  Alexander was a fabulous host with a wealth of knowledge about the area.  He provided us with many recommendations.  We only had one drawback and that was the hill down to the beach.  They were working on road, that was no one’s fault, but it made it steep and you had to stop and catch your breath.

We LOVED this house. Very safe, looks just like the picture, gorgeous sunrise and sunset. TONS of monkeys every day. We saw white face and squirrel monkeys at the house every day. While fascinating and very fun to watch be mindful of anything you leave outside. We saw a huge troop of howlers at the Anaconda Cafe our last morning. We heard the Howlers every morning around 5:30am. The pool was the perfect temperature and they have rafts, pool noodles, and a ton of beach towels at the house. We also loved the beach access below the house and we saw Scarlett Macaws every morning in the trees at the beach. It was so nice that everyone bedroom had its own bathroom. Weird compliment but our group appreciated the nice bath products- shampoo, conditioner, bath wash, toilet paper, and tissue was all nice. Plenty of hot water throughout the house. We will 100% recommend this house and would stay there again!

Not sure how the view could have been better. A family of monkeys visited the deck every day at 4pm and huge iguanas roamed the property as well. A private oasis worth every penny. 4 minute walk down a private driveway leads to the uncrowded section of the beach. Aside from the view, this was the biggest selling point for us as you can just park your car at the house and walk to to the surf each day. The housekeeper, Haley, was incredibly nice and super thorough.

Alex was great, he helped us plan all of our activities and recommended great restaurants in the area. I even messaged him at 8pm on a Sunday for help planning a last minute trip to the park for Monday since we found out they are closed on Tuesdays, he did not hesitate and we were booked within minutes.

Beautiful Villa with amazing views! We really enjoyed the private pool with our kids. Alexander was very responsive and helped us arrange airport transfers and a private chef for my wife’s birthday, which was a fantastic. The daily maid service, which included laundry, was also a very nice. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this home! Alexander was extremely responsive and helpful during our entire stay. Whenever we had questions, he was always quick to respond. The view from the home was also amazing. The home had everything you could possibly need in it as well. The maid, Haley, was awesome—she even went out of her way to wash all of our clothes! If you’re staying in Manuel Antonio, I would highly recommend this property. We were also able to tons of animals from our house!

If you came to Costa Rica to see animals, you should definitely stay here. There were sloths in the trees, beautiful birds including toucans, macaws, and even a quetzal were spotted in the trees. We were visited each afternoon by some friendly monkeys and on our last day, had a visit from some howler monkeys in the trees in the front of the house.  We even had a visit from a kinkajou.  The house is clean and spacious. Laundry facilities on site. The views are amazing.  We didn't want to leave. You have a pool and jacuzzi, and the beach is a short walk down the hill.  We were 15 minutes from the start of tours we lined up, and lots of restaurants and grocery stores. The beds are comfortable and the sheets were top quality.  Everything you need for a truly magical vacation.

Thank you for staying with us I m happy you all had a good time!

The place was stunning. The views are incredible. Every bedroom faces the ocean through a full wall of window. Maid service was provided daily (including laundry). We could walk to the beach through a private access point, and two restaurants were also within walking distance. Alexander was a very responsive host, and I would love to come back again!

We had an amazing stay at Casa Alegria! From the incredible views, wildlife, and access to what felt like our own beach with a short walk, Casa Alegria truly offered it all. I enjoyed waking up early and having my coffee on the balcony, taking in the view, and listening to all the wildlife. You can see monkeys on the porch and they frequent the area around property in the mornings! The pool was pristine and the temperature of the water was perfect for our stay in May, as it was still nice and cool. Cleaning service comes daily. Alex was super helpful and led us to the property for check in and made sure we had everything we needed, and also recommended local restaurants that were within walking distance. We walked to all the restaurants (although be prepared because the mountains are steep). While we were there, I asked for help with booking an adventure and he took care of it for us! If you're thinking of staying at Casa Alegria, just go ahead and BOOK IT! You will not regret it.

Thank you Christie I am glad you enjoyed the house and the area hope to see you again

This place was totally amazing! The place was so clean and Alexander and his staff were so friendly and helpful. The balconies have an incredible views and the pool area was wonderful. You can see so much wildlife! We also had access to a great beach just down the road and it’s not too crowded.  High recommend!

The house is amazing, with great location and a beautiful view! It's better than what you see in the photos! Everything was very clean and we didn't lack a thing in our stay! Alexander is a friendly person who explains everything perfect. I would certainly go back to this place

La casa está increíble, con muy buena ubicación y una hermosa vista! Es mejor de lo que se ve en las fotos! Todo estaba muy limpio y no nos faltó nada en nuestra estancia! Alexander es una persona amable que te explica todo perfecto. Sin duda volvería a este lugar

I cannot say enough how absolutely wonderful this stay was!! Not only was the place absolutely spotless but we loved hanging by the pool and seeing all the wonderful wildlife that lives in this area too! We saw sloths, toucans and many many monkeys all while enjoying the pool! Walking distance to many restaurants as well as beach access within a 10 minute walk (hill but doable). Very glad we booked and would come here again!

This home has one of the best views in Manuel Antonio.   It was super clean, friendly staff and such a good location.  Highly Recommend!  We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place. Very steep hills but walkable area once you get used to it. Alexander was great and very responsive and helpful.

This is a beautiful house! Costa Rica is awesome! Alex is a great host! We will be back!

The place was super clean, beautiful, and 1000% worth it. We’ll be back soon!

Alex was awesome. He set up every activity we asked about. Even put a Christmas tree, decorations and all, in the home for us as we were staying over Christmas. The house was perfect and peaceful. Monkeys every day to play with. A sloth living in the tree just off the balcony. Views we’re amazing and the beach was just a short walk. The house was cleaned every day. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Spectacular view, monkey, toucan and sloth visits at the home.  Close enough to walk to the National Park. Nice beach down the hill.  Good workout coming up the hill. Walking distance to to restaurants.  Each room is lovely, very spacious and has on-suite bathroom and shower. The kitchen works great, nice refrigerator and ice maker.

The place was beautiful and very well kept.  Views were magnificent and it was great to be so close to the beach.  Coordinating the chef, excursions, taxis, etc. was all very easy thanks to Mauricio and Alex.  The housekeeper and property maintenace crew all did an outstanding job,.  We hope to be back to this property or one of your other listings in the very near future.

Beautiful home with stunning views. It’s extremely well kept and clean and the photos really don’t do it justice. We spent a good amount of time enjoying the pool area and saw iguanas, a sloth, monkeys, and lots of birds while we did. All the beds were comfortable and every bedroom has an ocean view. We also enjoyed sitting on the balconies with morning coffee and views. Logistically, the house is situated on a hill so you have a steep walk depending on which direction you’re going - about a 5-10 min walk downhill to the beach or a 5-10 min walk uphill to some restaurants. The 4th bedroom/bathroom is by the pool and is essentially it’s own independent apartment that can only access the rest of the house via the outdoor stairs. That was a little challenging since we had a lot of heavy rain in the evenings. Mauricio was extremely communicative helping us along the way with recommendations and airport transport. The entire stay was really lovely and would recommend :)

Everything was perfect! Mauricio was very easy to get ahold of and we had no issues.

Beautiful villa with picturesque views and animals! Our family had an amazing stay at Mauricio's villa in Manuel Antonio. Pictures here do not show its complete beauty. It is a very large place, comfortable beds, fully stocked with everything you would need on vacation. Mauricio took care of us like family and set up a night tour with the best guide ever, and Heylin visited daily and kept everything sparkling clean. We were visited daily by the capuchin monkeys, and saw sloths in the trees beside the house. And the view - spectacular. We woke up early to watch the sun rise and listen to the waves. The villa is in a perfect location. We walked everywhere - to the beach, stores, restaurants, and the Manuel Antonio National Park. The pool is lovely as well. Everything was perfect!

My family had a lovely visit to Casa Alegria! The view of the ocean is absolutely incredible! In addition, right from the house we saw many capuchin monkeys, a sloth and two toucans quite close by! The walk down to the Espadilla Norte beach was about 10 minutes and steep. It would have been doable if one person in our party hadn’t had an old injury flare up. The house staff were delightful. The housekeeper did our dishes everyday and our laundry too! The groundskeeper was lovely - he showed us where the sloths were, and opened coconuts for us! One thing to note is that during our visit the fourth bedroom, which is it’s own separate mini apartment with no interior access to the rest of the house and on the bottom floor by the pool, was musty. We hesitated to say anything because we didn’t want to be challenging guests. They did work on it while we visited and once we realized we weren’t able to use it and said something. Hopefully Mauricio’s team can find a solution for this. Another note about the bottom bedroom is that the lack of interior access felt challenging during the heavy rain storms that happened nearly every day.

Thank you Mauricio for being the most hospitable and helpful host I've ever experienced in the AirBnB world. We can't express how thankful we are for everything you did to make this a top notch vacation. Pura Vida, amigo!

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and it was amazing! Our airbnb was even better in person than in the pictures. Mauricio helped so much, with all of our questions, organized excursions that we wanted, and check in on us everyday!

Great place in a great location hosted by great people. Would definitely  recommend for groups of folks traveling together, family or friends.

Casa Alegria is amazing. We had a wonderful stay. The house is spacious, very clean and nice and has an fantastic location. The home has a short 5 minute walk to a private beach. The walk is downhill, but manageable. It also has its own parking spot so you dont have to park in the street. Within walking distance to approximately a dozen restaurants. Some are right across the street. Also, the view from the back porch is impressive. Much better than the pictures even. Mauricio is very nice, responsive and helpful. Checkin and checkout was very easy. He responded to texts quickly and even helped book several activities. He gave restaurant recommendations as well. The maid (Haylee) is also terrific. She keeps the house spotless and even washes your clothes if you ask. We really enjoyed the wildlife as well. We saw 2 sloths right outside the house, and had visits from monkeys each day we were there. The pool is also nice. I would love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful time! We loved the location of the house. We walked to breakfast every morning. It’s super clean, has stellar views and Maurice was super helpful with our last minute requests. Would definitely recommend to all our friends!

Cannot say enough good things about this property...spectacular views (sunsets especially), amazing wildlife (we saw monkeys everyday, toucans, coati, sloth, aguti and more ON the property) beach is walkable within minutes and so are all the great restaurants. so many great activities closeby! Mauricio was so helpful all week and helped arrange food transportation and excursions for us (we especially recommend waterfall heaven tour!!) And Holly did a fantastic job keeping the place sparkling clean! We've been to Manuel Antonio many times but this spot was the best yet... do not hesitate to book!

Casa Alegria was excellent! There were 4 spacious bedrooms, a large living area and pool area and all the amenities you need. The villa also has one of the best views I've ever seen. The host is very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

We spent few marvellous days in this fantastic house ! Nothing was missing, Mauricio our host was just perfect and symphatic, house is fantastic, sunsets gorgeous....It's a pity France is so far, to come back soon !

This home is fabulous!  Mauricio was extremely attentive to all of our needs.  The housekeeper is in the home daily which is a lovely touch and leaves the home sparkling clean. It really was paradise. Definitely take advantage of the excursions that will pick you up at the home. It made everything so convenient. Can't wait to return, Pura Vita, we love Costa Rica and this was a such a beautiful location. Thanks Mauricio for being so wonderful!

Right on the beach. Cozy and clean and professional. Mau answered at all times and was super helpful. If I come back I’ll be looking first for Casa Alegria.

Wonderful view in a clean accomodation. It was awesome.

Awesome place with daily wildlife visits! We saw Capuchins and squirrel monkeys, a sloth, kinkajou and iguanas. Very clean, well stocked and host was super responsive and accommodating. We booked under the impression that it had a hot tub that actually gets hot but later learned it doesn't get any hotter than luke warm which was kind of disappointing. Other than that would highly recommend this place!

This place was everything we expected and more!!!  The accommodations were fantastic, beautiful comfy furniture, more than enough space for our group of 6, incredible ocean sunset views and close to everything we needed.  We woke up at dawn everyday to enjoy the wildlife that visited like clockwork from 5-8am (and more).  3 types of monkeys, groups of macaws in flights, toucans, agouti, hummingbirds and more made this place extra special.  Howlers monkeys grunted in the woods nearby as the capuchin and squirrel monkeys came by to say hello everyday, clearly in hopes we would invite them in for a snack!   They knew exactly what doors and windows to check for a breach into the premises so be vigilant to take your things inside when you go inside and close windows and doors to protect this beautiful property, your things and the wildlife).  And for the icing on the cake, Mauricio and the housekeeping/grounds staff were absolutely amazing!  Mauricio was available to help us with every little detail and question and set up some incredible excursions !   He made all our wishes come true!  The house was cleaned and serviced everyday to an impeccable standard. They even did our laundry which left all of our time to spend on fun and relaxation.  I highly recommend staying in this magical place where nature meets luxury!  We cant wait to go back, pura vida!

This place is amazing! The views, monkeys, beach.  This is a great house!

This place is just perfect. Stunning view and all the amenities. Monkeys came every morning, to the trees next to the house. Pool is very nice. And you are steps away from everything, Manuel Antonio park 5 min away, many restaurants around. Do not hesitate , this is a great place.

Thank you Stephanny! My family enjoyed our stay very much! You might want to check why the lower level bathroom did not have hot water for showering. And if you could send the listings for properties in the area, I’d appreciate it. ~Sue

Hi Sue. Thanks for your review. We apologize about any inconvenience about the hot water issue. The tank was replaced and now is working properly. Hope to have you back. Take care.

The place is fantastic. Stephanny met us at the property management office and escorted us to the house for the grand tour. The place was impeccable - clean, spacious, great decor, etc. The million dollar view along with the pool was the best part. Highly recommend!

Expect sloths, beautiful birds and monkeys.. coming up to the house! Excellent views making having a cup of coffee in either balcony a relaxing experience as you hear the waves crash the shore. Beds are super comfy and house overall was very clean.

The location and the views were one of the best in Costa Rica. I will recommend this place to anyone and stay again if I ever return. Host very helpful and location very spacious.

This place was absolutely amazing! Our host Stephanie was so nice and helpful upon check in. We were also pleasantly surprised by monkeys early the first morning!

We had the most relaxing and wonderful experience staying at Casa Alegria. We were 5 friends in need of a disconnect from the stresses of our lives and were able to forget about everything weighing down on us and just enjoy the beauty of the views, the perfect location (5 min walk to the beach) and the amazing hospitality and friendliness of the hosts - in particular Stephanny. The communication was quick and simple. Stephanny made sure we were well taken care of and happy and she consistently offered great ideas of things to do, where to eat and shop for groceries, and how best to maximize our time in Manuel Antnio while feeling extremely laid-back and unconcerned about time. Stephanny was arguably the best and most accommodating Air BnB host we have interacted with. She certainly enhanced our experience. The house itself was bigger than the pictures make it out to be, and the views of the ocean and jungle surroundings were just what we hoped for. It's worth pointing out that the house is three levels. The bottom level (where the pool and deck are) is where the 4th bedroom/bathrrom are. This room is only accessibly via two flights of outdoor circular stairs or walking back and forth past the pool. This layout was an inconvenience for me (I drew the short straw and stayed in the "pool boy" room), although the bed itself was comfotable and it was an enjoyable experience despite going up and down the flights of stairs throughout the day/night. And...if you want to experience birds in the morning and monkees in the daytime and afternoon - this house had wildlife and then some...which we enjoyed. Highly recommend staying here as a group of friends (or a family) - you'll do some walking up and down stairs in some cases to get to and from the pool and the one bedroom - though we felt the value was terrific for what we paid, the location to the beach and national park while feeling secluded rfom neighbors and the epic views, and the on-point communication, assistance and genuine friendliness displayed by Stephanny make this house one of the ideal places to stay in Manuel Antonio.
