Amazing views!  We were surrounded by wildlife.  We had a sloth hanging out by the pool for two days.  A toucan also visited us on a pool day.  All three species of monkeys also came by.  Chef Marcus cooked us a fabulous dinner.  The maid was gracious enough to do our laundry.  We also booked a few tours through Frank.  They were great, and even picked us up from the top of the driveway.  Great places to eat close by as well.  We felt very well taken care of while visiting.  Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Casa Mono Congo was a dream! I’d give it a 1000/10! The house was big and beautiful! Every bedroom was comfortable and had a nice view! The pool was amazing and we enjoyed the incredible view of the ocean. We had monkeys visit and a sloth that hung around the entire time. Frank was super responsive, the maid was amazing and allowed us to enjoy our trip and the private chef was outstanding! Couldn’t have stayed at a better place! I recommend Casa Mono Congo!!

We loved this place!! Casa Mono Congo exceeded all expectations. The view is amazing and we were entertained each day with the resident sloth and all kinds of monkeys. The bedrooms all have en-suites which was great for our party of 7. Frank, the concierge, was wonderful and had the fastest response time! We had daily maid service from Mayela and she left fresh towels and did our laundry for us- such a treat for an AirBnB. Frank arranged a catamaran tour for us and also a private chef one night- delicious! We had 2 cars we were able to park. The house seems very private but within a 5-15 minute walk you have a large assortment of restaurants and shops. The house is at the bottom of a very steep hill and any tour or uber will meet you at the top. Highly, highly recommend!!

Casa Mono Congo was perfect for our family of 5 adults. The views were unbeatable and the mama sloth that lives in the tree next to the house is magnificent. Monkeys visited a couple times too! A couple things to note: first, the house is at the bottom of a very steep driveway and most transportation will ask you to meet them at the top of the hill. Second, only the bedrooms in the home are air conditioned. This made it so we had to separate from the group if we wanted a break from the heat. The concierge, Frank, was excellent and managed all logistics for us. It was fantastic. And the daily maid, Mayela, was amazing. She kept the house nice and took care of laundry. We came home with a suitcase full of clean clothes! Overall, the place is great and if we ever find ourselves back in CR we’d stay again.

I loved this stay.  Just know the driving in the area can be tricky. Narrow roads, lots of curves, and steep hills.  That being said, we loved staying here and would recommend.

Mono Congo was amazing! The layout provided our multigenerational family (ages 10-73) each with their own space. Huge windows allowed us to watch monkeys in the treetops, when they weren’t on the patio! Best entertainment ever! We were visited by three different types of monkeys, parrots, a resident sloth, several lizards and an iguana! Can’t say enough about Marie, our concierge! She answered my many questions before we arrived, scheduled our activities and handled changes we made to our schedule. Daily housekeeping and pool maintenance ensured the house and grounds stayed immaculate! Make sure you have Marie schedule a meal prepared by Gabriel. He created a meal so delicious we are still talking about it! A special treat not to be missed! In addition, we found the house to be very safe and secure. The driveway was a bit steep, but very doable. (You do need 4 wheel drive for beach roads.) We had two cars. Plenty of space for both. This home is a perfect for making memories!

We - family of 6, all adults - loved this AirBnB. It has amazing views across the pool to the Pacific, wildlife - sloth, anteater, squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys, toucan - right off the deck.
It was a treat that each couple had their own ensuite bathroom and balcony. We loved the outdoor dining and cherished a welcome dinner on our first night by Chef Gabriel coordinated by the concierge Maria.
We will go back!

You don't need to go to Manuel Antonio Park, you have better views of everything here.  3 different types of monkeys (sometimes in the same day), a sloth off the back patio, Toucans, Macaws, hummingbirds, Aracari, woodpeckers, Motmots and more (30 different species of birds).  We were here in January and the house was incredibly comfortable.  We appreciated the housekeeping services and the fresh towels along with the ability to wash clothes.  The property is within walking distance of a number of restaurants in the area.  We did breakfast and lunches at the house and dinners out.  We do recommend getting groceries in Quepos - but we didn't have a car and they arranged for us to get items delivered.  All in all, we already miss it and would absolutely stay here again in the future.  Highly recommend!

This place is amazing! The view is a 10 out of 10! Jody is a very communicative host, and Maria the concierge is a fantastic on-site source. She helped us arrange for several taxis and excursion appointments as well. Laundry service was a major plus too. The highlight was having a sloth living in a nearby tree for three of the four days we were here. It was so fun watching it. Then one day about 40 of the little titi moments came through and played by the pool for about 20 minutes. It was so entertaining and created a lifetime memory. We also had howler monkeys visit in the nearby tress on our last day. The gorgeous macaws flew over us several times per day. The town of Manuel Antonio is a short 5 minute walk away and has all the shops and restaurants and bars and coffee you’ll need. As others pointed out, the driveway is extremely steep and not for those with mobility problems. Some taxis will come get you at the bottom of the driveway but others preferred you to come to the top.

Amazing views with a great pool and outdoor space!  Large house in an ideal location. The house is tucked into the hillside with a very steep road but easily navigated. The beds were very comfortable and the daily maid service was a bonus.

What a house!! This was 100% perfect for our group of 8 adults!  The location provides a gorgeous view of the ocean as well as wildlife up close…all 3 monkey species, the macaws & parakeets flying overhead & we even had a sloth outside our front door.  The location is walking distance to the super or mini markets as well as many restaurants & bars; it’s a quick ride to the National park & beach. Had a few maintenance issues, which were taken care of quickly. The only downfall is the incredibly steep driveway to the house; it’s no joke! We met our excursion transportation & Ubers at the top of our driveway ( but within our “neighborhood”.) Those with mobility issues will definitely have trouble navigating it.  This house has maid & laundry service  as well as a safe in most of the rooms.  We had a chef come into the villa three times. Chef Tito who was the recommended chef was already booked, so he had Chef Gerald take care of us. He was excellent. Highly recommend the villa.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay Rob! Thank you for your kind words and come back and see us again! Jody

This place was amazing. We read all of the reviews and booked it as we were coming with our younger kids who were wanting to see monkeys/animals. This place delivered. Every morning we had dozens of monkeys visiting, and our kids were in heaven just watching the wildlife. Beyond that we saw lizards, toucans, and more. And that’s just the entertainment, ha. The home is far more beautiful than the pictures even show. Such a fun vibe for a place. That, and such easy access to lots of food and amazing beaches. We genuinely loved this place and would love to return someday!

Words cannot describe the beauty of both the house and the surroundings. We arrived after dark and when we looked outside in the morning we were met with the most unbelievable view. There were 8 of us and not once did we feel like we were in each other's way. The house is huge!! The daily maid service was absolutely a bonus that we weren't expecting,,, she gave us so much extra time to enjoy ourselves. The wildlife was so much fun. We didn't even want to leave the property because we were scared to miss something. Monkeys galore everyday,, a sloth and a toucan plus lots of others. We walked to so many amazing restaurants and bars. We took ubers to the beach because it would have been quite a long walk. 100 percent rent this place if you are ever considering Manuel Antonio,,, you will not be disappointed.

Very glad you and your group enjoyed the location Tracey! Come back and stay with us again anytime!! Jody

Jody’s place was absolutely stunning! The view from the patio and swimming pool are breathtaking. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife without ever leaving the house, including a daily visit from all three species of monkeys. The bedrooms in the house are all very separate which is great for privacy when traveling with a group. I would warn the hill down to the house is extremely steep and not accessible for most vans for excursions. They are able to pick you up at the top (2 minute walk) but something to keep in mind if traveling with anyone with mobility issues. All in all this place is amazing and walkable to a number of great spots Emilio’s cafe, YOLO, Cafe Milagro …just bearing in mind there is a bit of climb at the start. Overall the house is fantastic and we can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful view and a wonderful space for our family.

Thank you Christian for the kind comments! I'm so glad you had a great experience!

This house was amazing for our party of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids). A few things I’d like to pass on for future travelers. There is housekeeping every day and they clean everything every day. Someone will also do any and all of your laundry. This was unexpected but incredible. The photos on the listing don’t do it justice. It’s so much more incredible. The location is on very very steep hills. Be prepared mentally and physically. Rent a car that has power to go up hills. The roads getting there are tight and cars move fast. If you walk up the hill to eat, there is a set of stairs near the top that you can take up so you don’t have to walk on the road without a sidewalk. There are no frills in the kitchen. No cream, no sugar. So you might want to grab groceries. The grocery stores in Quepos and Manuel Antonio are insanely expensive. Also no beach toys in the house.  Many wonderful restaurants in walking distance. Ask host for help getting tp beach next to house. Has surfing lessons there!

Thank you for your kind comments Shane! The advice to have some more kitchen spices and condiments available for guests is a good idea. I will try to keep some extra stock of those items for guests. We have also bought and made available boogie boards and other beach toys for guests. They forget them at the beach sometimes and/or break them and don't let us know. We will get some more! Thank you for your input, I appreciate the feedback! Jody

Pictures don’t do it justice.  Amazing location with an amazing view. My family and I love to see the monkeys every day and eating outside. Every room has an amazing room and private bathroom. We are hoping to stay again.  Thanks Jody

You're so welcome Anthony!  Thank you for your nice comments! Come back and stay with us again!  Jody

We spent a week in Costa Rica and loved all of our excursions and the beautiful country and people, but our favorite part was this house! The photos of the ocean views can’t do it justice, the location in the jungle with water views was indescribable. Every day we had squirrel monkeys, capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, sloths, toucans and macaws. Honestly, we saw and enjoyed the wild life at the house more than Manuel Antonio Park! The home was big for 6 of us, clean and María our concierge was a great host. Always available for any questions or concerns. We also had Gerald, a chef who works with Jody and Maria, cook dinner for us and it was delicious and one of our best meals in Costa Rica. Rent this home, you won’t be sorry. It’s like the Airbnb lottery if you are looking for a beautiful view, nice accommodations and daily monkey visits, it’s called Casa Mono Congo for a reason!

The house was beautiful and the location was perfect! We could walk into town. There were lots of restaurants to choose from and lots of fun activities nearby. We enjoyed swimming in the pool. Maria met us at the house to help us check in and she responded immediately if I had a question or needed anything. I highly recommend this house! It was everything we had hoped for and more!

What a beautiful place! The concierge was so helpful in planning our excursions and the chef was awesome. The only downside is the steep driveway, but I knew about that and I wouldn’t let it bother me unless I had mobility issues. The view is spectacular, the rooms were comfortable and the staff was wonderful.

This house exceeded our expectations. It was better than the photos. The view is worth every penny. We loved it so much that we couldn’t wait to get back to the house after our activities. Maria was so helpful with restaurant reservations and taxi arrangements. Very responsive. We had 3 species of monkey visitors and the kids were so excited. Would recommend to all my family and friends.

I can’t imagine there is a more beautiful place to stay in Quepos! Private setting immersed in wildlife.  The house is beautiful and spotless.  Maria was our concierge and was so thoughtful and responsive, she pulled together a last minute excursion for us that we couldn’t have done without her help. Located only minutes away from everything.  It was  perfect.

Casa Mono Congo is a beautiful house located in the trees of Manuel Antonio with ocean views. I enjoyed a couple visits from spider monkeys and toucans. Jody (owner) was very responsive and friendly and gave good recommendations. Maria (concierge) was also very responsive and helped us book 2 tours that were equally amazing with great guides and wonderful experiences. Can’t wait to return!

Excellent location right in Manuel Antonio park with an abundance of monkeys and other wildlife. Not too many mosquitos too which was an added bonus! Great point to do all the tours from and the concierge Maria was incredible and the maid Mayela was friendly and made the place spotless everyday. There is a steep hill down to the villa but we rented a car so this wasn’t a problem for us. Really enjoyed our stay.

Exactly what we needed, relaxed and peaceful (except for the monkeys..AND PLEASE TAKE THE MONKEY WARNING TO HEART:), base to explore the area, convenient to restaurants and Manuel Antonio.  The house is designed for viewing various levels of the canopy.  We saw sloths, three kinds of monkeys, toucans, birds galore right from the house. The views are breathtaking. The house bedrooms have privacy. The pool is refreshing.  Only complaint is that the house didn't supply the usual AirBnB welcome basket of the basics of coffee/tea/ fruit etc.  For the price that should have been a given.

Great location with incredible view.  Designed well for large groups.

We were two families (4 adults, 4 kids aged 5-9) visiting for 4 nights in peak season. We had a great stay at Jody's place in Manuel Antonio. Beautiful view from the house, comfortable rooms and beds, easy to access local sights and restaurants. Daily house cleaning and concierge were a huge plus! We would definitely stay here again!

This place is fantastic. The view, pool, wildlife and concierge service make it one of the best airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in. The house is very comfortable, clean and well stocked. There is a view from every window. We saw tons of monkeys, toucans, macaws soaring by and an agouti or two! There is a very steep driveway and the neighborhood is very hilly so we are glad we opted not to self drive. Taxis and airport transfer were very easy to organize with the concierge. While the driveway was steep, there is a grocery store, atm, restaurants and shops walkable from the house which made the location perfect. We opted for a few breakfasts and a few dinners from the chef. Marcos was superb! He even made a special cake for my daughter’s birthday. Maria was our concierge and she was super responsive and made our stay so easy. There was also maid service daily and she did our laundry too—a treat! Note that you don’t have self access to laundry. Book now! You won’t regret it.

Great place, beautiful views and sunsets, very big. Highly recommended!

Jody’s place exceeded our expectations!! Amazing view and the concierge was top notch. The rooms were spacious and clean and very walkable to restaurants and bars! Will definitely be coming back!

First, the property.  Everything was as described and the views in person are much better than the pictures.  We were a bit unlucky with afternoon rain so no sunsets but the morning coffee view was perfect.  The concierge Andre was very good!  He arranged all of our tours including last minute adjustments due to something else going a bit longer, etc.  Everything was clearly communicated and perfectly executed including the meals.  We had Sandy cook 3 dinners and 2 breakfasts for us.  They were the best meals we had in Costa Rica.  Lovely woman who clearly loves what she does.  The owner was very responsive to questions prior to arrival, but no need to reach out to him during our stay because Andre was on top of it.  The daily housekeeping was great, we were out daily doing tours and exploring so we never really crossed paths much but it was nice to come home with a suitcase of clean clothes.  Finally the house itself was a perfect layout for our group.  Would definitely stay again!

What an amazing stay we had. First the house.  It’s absolutely beautiful. You feel like your in the jungle. There are homes around you but honestly there are so many trees and flowers you are extremely secluded.  The view was amazing. We had squirrel monkeys and white face monkeys visit almost every day. We seen howler monkeys and tucans in our trees as well.  The pool was perfect for those warm days when we didn’t get to the beach.  The driveway is steep but it’s typical Costa Rica and nothing that should keep you from staying.  It’s very close to some amazing restaurants. We were able to walk to many of them but you can also use local taxi service if you want. The maid was wonderful. She took care of the cleaning and laundry daily and we had the chef Sandy cook a couple meals for us which was an awesome treat.  The concierge Andre took care of all of our arrangements for any excursions we wanted to book. He was amazing and I can’t thank him enough.

Jody’s place is marvelous. You feel immersed in the jungle and the views are stunning from every room and even fro the staircase. The place is very spacious and functional. The pool is perfect.

WOW… we walked in to a gorgeous, unbelievable view from the front door and it just got better from there. Saw sloths and monkeys from the pool, the balconies, the kitchen, and out back. Felt like a luxury home in the middle of the jungle- which is exactly what it is! Concierge service was amazing, arranging a private chef, surf lessons, catamaran cruise, and gave excellent restaurant recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!!!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. The views are amazing and seen from every room. The home was clean and spacious with more than enough room for our group of 7. There are many restaurants within easy walking distance and a small market. The beach is 15-20 minute walk- which we did one day, but it is probably best to get a cab. One of the highlights for our group was the monkeys that visited us. We were told not to feed them or they would become a nuisance, so we followed those directions and we had regular sightings, but no issues. If there is one downside of this place, it would be for those that have a car (which we did not). The driveway is fairly long and very steep and space to park is limited. When picked up for excursions, not one driver would come down the driveway. It wasn't an issue for us- but I could see that it might be an issue if you have a car. Jody's home, it's views, and the monkeys were a highlight of our trip! Thank you for sharing your amazing home.

We had a wonderful time! The pool if great! The views are spectacular! Howler monkeys in the morning are fun to listen to, along with all of the other wildlife that passes through. The hosts are there for you with whatever you may need. We look for to visiting again!

The house is beautiful, with a breathtaking view. Ideal for a family holiday. A few little monkeys came back to visit.

La maison est magnifique, avec une vue à couper le souffle. Idéal pour des vacances en famille. Quelques petits singes sont venus nous rentre visite.

A wonderful house with daily house cleaning services, spacious right in the middle of the jungle. Howler, capuchin, squirrel monkeys make a daily visit to the property. Sloth resides in a tree right above the house. You'll be leaving in the jungle! it was wonderful. The steep driveway leading to the house was a bit intimidating at first, but you get used to it.

Thank you for the kind remarks Dmitry!  Most of the driveways and streets in the area are a bit hilly because of the homes  being on the side of the hill/mountain as you enter the national park, but that’s what also gives you the breathing views of the jungle and ocean so it’s a good trade off!  We hope to see you and your family again real soon!  Pura Vida my friend!

Start to finish, this was a great first trip to Costa Rica for our family of 5! PERFECT location! Breathtaking views from the pool, kitchen, living room and all bedrooms on the first and second floors. If you want to get the jungle living experience Casa Mono Congo is the place to be. We had monkeys and birds visit daily! Beds were super comfortable and plenty of living space and updated bathrooms for everyone. The breeze and open air design made the home extremely comfortable day and night ( A/C in every bedroom - none needed in the main living space as the breeze and ceiling fans galore kept us nice and cool and bugs away. I was very concerned about being swarmed by bugs at dusk in the rainy season with an open main living space, but was I wrong! No such worries, and the house was easy to close up at night when we went to sleep. Hats off to Jody's wonderful team...Frank, Mauricio, Mayela, Ervin and Tito! We felt like family from the start! Their attention to our needs was exemplary! Mayela kept our home spotless and linens changed, floors washed, kitchen cleaned, etc. For this mom - that was such a treat especially when renting a vacation house sometimes means mom-duties continue away from home. Then there was Tito's dinner for my birthday! It was Fabulous and his personal stories about living in Costa Rica were entertaining as well. His menu selection was extensive and Frank surprised me with champagne and a birthday cake that night! Special touches like that really make a difference. Frank also helped set up our adventures and Mauricio gave us great dining recommendations. Even Jody was in contact with us throughout the trip to make sure his team was taking good care of us. Pura Vida!
