The property is beautiful & exactly what our family needed. It was easy to find using the Waze App (we also downloaded an offline-use Google Map for navigating the area (the house has great service though). The well cared for home is clean with comfortable beds, nice linens/ towels, a well organized kitchen, and plenty of space to spend time with family. It was cool even without fans or the AC on, which were used lightly at night. The covered patio was perfect for morning coffee We all very much enjoyed the pool after touring all day. Capuchin and squirrel monkeys visited daily, along with iguana, basilik lizards, agouti, and other small critters. The home feels very private, but very safe with neighbors not too far away and a security guard present at all times. If that wasn't enough, the host is absolutely amazing. Rebecca helped us book tour guides,and gave us coaching on what to do/see/eat and to avoid as well, ensuring a fun, stress-free trip. She was easily accessible when needed, and the cherry on top was that she arranged for a private chef to come make us a celebratory dinner for our son's birthday 17th/ our 19th wedding anniversary (absolutely delicious and so fun--definitely recommend). If that wasn't enough, our son (who is on the autism spectrum) invited her to join him in a card game when she stopped in briefly to help the chef set up, and she was so sweet and jumped right in to a few hands of Uno. Thank you so much for making this trip extra special!

We arrived to the property and let ourselves in with the door code shortly after midnight, only to discover other people sleeping inside. The other guests booked 3 days after we did. We booked the property Jan 20, she confirmed Jan 21. The other guests’ reservation had a confirmation date of Jan 24. The host tried to say that instant booking on VRBO may have caused an issue, even though that wasn’t what happened. She blamed calendars synching, which could be true but she also talked to both parties through both platforms and met the other party at the house (we had 3 guests, they had over 6…so regardless she still didn’t recognize she messed up). It caused a ton of problems for my family scrambling for a place to stay. She did offer us the studio in the backyard she “wouldn’t charge us for,” but they also had guests out there and I am not staying with strangers. The security guard was nice. From what I could see of the house, it would have been nice to stay there. The fridge was loud, I did notice that. I do not recommend booking with the host, the home may be beautiful but she ruined our vacation by not being organized and did little to help us for the mess she created

Such a lovely week at this property! The bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged so that everyone had some privacy but plenty of space for gathering as well. We had hoped to possibly see some wildlife but were amazed to not only have a sloth that hung out above the pool for several days, but also two different species of monkeys, an iguana family, hummingbirds, and a small shy brown animal that tiptoed by while stealing mangos! The property had everything we needed, the host was lovely and responsive to questions, and the gate guard was reassuring to those of us used to city living. Hope to be back!

We knew from the listing and reviews that this would be a great place, but after staying we have to say that it was nicer, cleaner, more comfortable, better setup, and in a nicer neighborhood than we expected. The pics don’t do it justice! We loved being close to everything in Manuel Antonio, but also feeling like we were in a secluded jungle getaway. Our family (3 kids and 2 parents) all loved the home and were very comfortable there. The neighborhood gate attendant was so friendly and helped us spot animals we were looking for. Communication was great! Thankful for our stay here, just wish it was longer!

Peaceful, clean, away from the noise of 618, well-stocked. Just the sounds of the birds and monkeys. Right next to Cerdo Feliz and a corner market. Idyllic. Host was great: constant contact when needed, but not too intrusive...perfect. Nice, helpful folks in the few houses around. For MA, really remote feel, yet still so close to wherever you want to be. 5 stars across the board.

It was my second time back at the house and it was just as amazing as I remembered it. The location is unbeatable, being nestled into the forest with all of the beautiful trees, plants, and non-stop animals. Rebecca is a very attentive host and is very helpful. I wish I could live there for ever.

This house is private, clean, safe, spacious and backs onto a jungle where many animals can be seen! We loved the resort feeling of the backyard and pool. We would absolutely recommend this property and hope to return one day! Thank you! We travelled around Costa Rica, staying at four different places and this place was our favourite.

From the first booking to ensuring we had all the codes we needed, the host was amazing. The property is spectacular and looks just like the photos. Had a variety of wildlife join us each afternoon as we sat out by the pool.
