A Jungle Villa, 5-8 BR w/Toucans and Waterfalls
WOW sums it up! Our family was just blown away with the villa and the beautiful view. We are a family of 17......9 grandkids, parents and Grammy/ Gramps. The place was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. Stephen was there to show us around and the ladies had cold drinks for us on arrival. I really can't say enough about the place. Yesenia and Yeneri made a beautiful tasty breakfast for us each morning. 4 of us are celiacs and they were very careful to provide us with what we could eat. Esteban was wonderful and was around to help with anything we needed. He showed us different things around the property, turned on the hot tub when needed and took us on a hike to the waterfall and river. He was great with the kids showing them butterflies and such and played toucan sounds on the stereo to attract the toucans. Sophia and Caleb did great jobs as well The rooms were perfect with amazing views and the garden house was great. Thanks from all of us......amazing memories!❤️

Luxury House Garden Suite *within 5-star Resort*
What an incredible space! We enjoyed having the entire floor to ourselves. The elevator opened directly into our unit. A friendly staff member welcomed us with cool towels and gave us a tour of the hotel—a very nice touch. Our teens enjoyed the game room (pool and table tennis, especially) and we took advantage of the activities like the cooking class and walking tour (more of a hike). We didn’t need a car while there since the hotel provides shuttle service to nearby areas and many of the restaurants are on the same street as the hotel. We highly recommend this hotel.

Casa Solu, Malaga Playa Bejuco Residences
Alonso and his wife make us feel like home! Description of everything was right and even more! House distribution is perfect to spend vacation time with kids! I will definitely come back! Saving to my favorites spots in Bejuco. Thanks for everything !

Luxury & Comfort in a Tropical Paradise
11 out of 10 - There is nothing I can add that hasn’t already been covered in every review. But I do want to acknowledge the on-site caretaker, Licho, who, along with his wife, Darling, were some of the warmest, friendliest, and hospitable people you will meet anywhere. And I will say that this property was one of the highlights of my family’s week in CR. We hope to come back again in the near future. Thank you, Nicolas, for making your villa available!

All Suite House with Amazing Ocean Views
This property is truly amazing. The house and pool and landscaping are all stunning, and the views cannot be beaten. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Dominical beach is about a 7-8 minute drive. The service from Esteban and Oscar and the others was first-class.

CasaLong Luxury Villa with Pool and Jacuzzi
Amazing! We’ve done this trip in various locations across costa rica and Brian’s place was by far the best, especially for larger groups. The dreamy outdoor kitchen had all the best appliances and tools you could ever need. The pool and lounge area felt like what you would experience at a high end resort. The music hookup and lighting at night was perfect for relaxing and breathtaking sunsets and nighttime conversations. Some of us could even get in a morning workout given the great gym area available and would end it with a cold plunge. I literally can’t think of anything else we could ever need! Beyond being an absolute paradise, Brian went above and beyond to welcome us and ensure we were comfortable. It’s rare these days that the host is as invested in their guests’ experience as Brian, and it’s clear that he really wants his guests to feel at home and welcome. He always promptly answered any questions and was eager to help and give recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!

Villa Iguana - Great place & privacy with Jacuzzi & WiFi
Grat place we had a lot of fun

Moonshine Inn - Pool Level Suite
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!

Titico House
Hosts respond quickly if needed. They are available and welcoming. Close to everything (on foot). I enjoyed the yoga classes with Caroline. Thank you so much for your warm welcome and for helping us have a wonderful vacation! Pura Vida! 🩵💛🧡💚

Casa Lago
Wonderful, the house is beautiful, spacious, the pool is incredible, I recommend it. In the mornings you wake up and the first thing you hear are birds and limpets. If you want to find peace, tranquility and privacy, this is the place for you

La Suite - Condo on Beautiful Property with Pool
We really liked the place, very easy to get to, both Julie and her dad treated us very well and helped us when we had a problem, and we appreciate that they let us take our little dogs who are part of the family for us. We visited the boutique café that is right there and we also loved it, highly recommended

The house in the woods
If you're looking for an immersive experience in nature without straying too far from comfort, this is the place to be. Although it is only a few meters from the road and next to a supermarket, once inside the property you feel surrounded by vegetation, with views of plants and trees, as shown in the photos. It is important to note that there are no conventional windows, but rather mosquito nets or screens, allowing a more direct connection with the environment. The experience of disconnecting is very pleasant and the fan in the room was a great help, as the heat and humidity can be intense. A nice touch is that different types of birds visit the Airbnb in the mornings, making the stay even more special. In addition, the accommodation has parking, which is a plus. Overall, an excellent choice for those seeking authentic contact with nature without sacrificing comfort

Where the Toucans Fly!
Love the place. The host helped arrange a car rental which you must have to get to the place. We used an uber a couple of times - although the uber couldn’t get all the way to the place.

Peaceful Paradise, In the Jungle of Manuel Antonio
Would rent here again without hesitation! The location is great. We loved being close to town and things to do but still having all the jungle vibes! We saw lots of monkeys right in the back yard! Alex and Glen were both very friendly. We also did the mangrove Kayak tour with Alex & Goldie (his pup)! Would highly recommend that tour! Overall we really enjoyed our stay here!

CASA QUEPOS- Private House & Farm For 8-31 Guests
The homes were spotless. Very clean and well equipped. It's beautiful instead. You see birds and in the afternoon in the farthest se son monitos. The only negative thing I could say is that the place is a bit alone and that there is not like a mesh that privatizes the entrance to the house, but in reality I totally recommend it. Don Carlos and his family, who help in the house are also very friendly

Balinese Jungle Bungalow w/Pool & Separate Unit
Casa Tango was just what we were looking for to experience true Costa Rican charm in Manuel Antonio! Our kids loved the stay! Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Whitewater View near Manuel Antonio Park
We didn't want this vacation to end! This place was so beautiful and quiet. The pool, bar and outdoor kitchen were perfect. So well designed. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking the grounds and picking up fresh mangoes, coconuts, limes, starfruit and bananas. The wonderful scent of the ylang ylang trees was everywhere. Absolutely amazing. The house was spacious and we loved the doors of every room and the beautiful arched windows. Great architecture! The towels smelt fresh and were of great quality. The welcome book was truly helpful. Any question we had - the answer was in there. Very well done! One week was just not enough.

Casa Camino Viejo, private home and pool.
We loved Gretel’s place - it was a beautiful spot and we felt right at home. It has a fantastic kitchen, a spacious living area, nice bedrooms and a great porch. The pool was really refreshing and was a nice escape from the afternoon heat. We also got to see some amazing wildlife close up - we were visited by some squirrel monkeys, a howler monkey, a toucan and a pair of Scarlett Macaws. It is in close proximity to Manuel Antonio National Park and a bunch of other excursions and near many great local restaurants. I highly recommend.

Villa Camino Corral by Vacation Pura Vida
The house is beautiful, super spacious and has everything you need to have a great time with friends. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking. We went with my 6-year-old daughter and the pool was perfect for her, it's not very slingshot. It's pet friendly (paying a fee) and there's plenty of outdoor space for puppies. The beach is very close. Near the house there is a small shopping center where there is a supermarket and you can find everything. There are also restaurants in case you don't want to cook.

Casa Papillon, Pool, 5 bedrooms
Great location and views. Everything was as described. Quick access to everything in Manuel Antonio. The driveway is quite steep and it took me a few tries to navigate it with my 10 passenger van rental. After the first day it was fine. Host was very responsive. Awesome bathrooms and decent bedrooms.

Casa Bosque Verde - Hidden Oasis w/ Private Pool
We absolutely loved staying here. Everything was magical and sitting outside was relaxing. We saw so many animals while staying there and the kids loved the pool! We had a grocery store and Soda walking distance away. Antonio was a gem. He did not speak English but he made sure everything was pristine. He is a true gem and willing to help direct parking and open the gate for us Some tips to help others….everything here is similar to the states. No suicide showers and lots of power plugs. Really the only issue we had is the upper bedrooms were too light and it gets bright early. Wasn’t a huge problem for us because we got up early to do activities while it was cool. We loved our stay! This place has ALL of the Pura Vida vibes.

Perfect Ocean Hideaway!!!
It’s hard to sum up my feelings about this place. It was so special and wonderful. It’s hard to describe. I also hesitate about giving it so much praise because I worry that next time I want to book it it’ll be full! The place was perfect. It was right on a private beach at the end of a private road. The water was a perfect temperature. The sand was soft. The ground Keeper was so friendly and very helpful. He was very kind to my kids and we felt right at home! Also a huge added bonus were his dogs. My kids miss our dogs when we travel and they were thrilled to find dogs here waiting for us when we arrived. There were limitless activities for us to do. We could lay around on the beach or swim in the pool or do excursions that were close by. This part of Costa Rica is extremely beautiful! I would stay in a place like this over a resort any day.

Great studio apt w/ pool on the Whale's Tail!
Beautiful space and surroundings, awesome pool, super friendly and responsive hosts, darling children, and big adorable (sometimes loud) dog. Short bike ride to beaches, restaurants, and yoga classes. All round a great place. We loved our stay.

Jungle Villa~Honeymoon Privacy~Infinity Pool~View
The house is beautiful. The pool was amazing. The location was very private. We didn’t use our four wheel drive, but you definitely need high clearance. You have to remember you’re in the middle of the jungle, big bugs, geckos, iguanas, bats & lots of different noises. The views are stunning. I felt very safe. I would rent this house again.
