About this villa rental

illa Pelicano is one of the most popular villas in Manuel Antonio with over 9000 sq ft of living space on over 5 acres in the center of Manuel Antonio and walking distance to everything you need. This Estate consists of 6 bedrooms and 6 1/2 baths and offers complete discretion and privacy while being situated in the heart of Manuel Antonio with its countless fine restaurants, shopping plazas, night life, gym, and so much more while conveniently located within minutes’ drive between the bustling fishing village of Quepos as well as our very popular National Park and Main Beach area which is only 2 miles away. No need to rent cars since transportation is very easy as taxi’s are as abundant as New York City and our public bus system runs every 20 minutes and only cost 75 cents – you can catch it right in front of the Villa!

It is bordered by a lush rain forest – a symphony of wildlife. Monkeys run through the mango trees, and toucans sing from the nearby cecropias. Birdwatchers and animal lovers will be in heaven. Within the surrounding gardens are mango trees, banana plants, starfruit, papaya trees, citrus, orchids, and a whole plethora of other tropical flora.

This large 6 bedroom Villa is comprised of four bedrooms which are all masters, each with King Size bed, high ceilings, spacious areas, with glass sliders allowing you to feel the fresh breezes off of the ocean. All bedrooms are air conditioning to keep you cool, large verandas to take in the panoramic views and to see the monkeys and other various types of wildlife passing through the trees. The fifth bedroom features two queen beds and two single beds, air conditioning, private seating area, and veranda facing the jungle. The sixth bedroom has one king bed, air conditioning, and veranda facing the jungle.

The living room has a two-story cathedral ceiling and wraparound balcony which is completely open to a spacious patio overlooking the pool and Pacific Ocean. The second level of the home is wide open with an extra seating area, a balcony looking out over the ocean that is perfect for yoga, relaxing or just taking in the spectacular views.

Villa Pelicano Private Estate would not be a First Class Estate without providing your own Private Chef to prepare up to 2 meals per day (food and beverage cost are separate and the Chef provides the actual store receipts for reimbursement). Nobody needs to shop, cook or clean as the Chef does it all and saves you money as well by purchasing the freshest ingredients from local vendors – butchers and fisherman

Villa Pelicano is exactly as described in the listing…beautiful!!! From the beginning of our trip Geralyn was in constant contact with us and made the trip from the airport seamless. The drivers were awesome and very accommodating to our group. The villa itself was spectacular with gorgeous views and animals galore! It made a picturesque backdrop for our ceremony, which was 100% possible with Geralyn’s assistance. Angelica made sure we were comfortable, while she went above and beyond for her housekeeping duties. The groundskeepers were readily available and even pointed out some animal sitings for us (Sloths!!!). The highlight of the trip of course was Mario and Jose Mario cooking up unbelievable dishes for us every day. There was really no need to eat out. But when we did all of the recommended spots were amazing as well. 10 out of 10 recommend staying at Villa Pelicano!!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is very well maintained, has an incredible view and great location. Geralyn, the Concierge, was so helpful and accommodating and scheduled the perfect excursions! Mario and Jose Mario are the best chefs. Their meals truly made the trip so special. Angelica was also fantastic! We could not recommend this place any more. Its so special!

We had 13 family members at Villa Pelicano to celebrate my 70th birthday . The service was incredible ! Geralyn was always available to help us book tours , arrange transportation and answer any questions . Mario prepared delicious meals for the adults and the children . I think we had the guacamole every night as an appetizer . We ziplined, jet skied , had a private catamaran , massages at the house and the buggy waterfall tour . I had my massage outside and didn’t realize my table was beneath a security camera so my apologies to whoever had to see a 70 year body ! I can’t say enough about this incredible house but more importantly was the attention we received from Geralyn and Mario !! I hope to return in the future . Ann

We had 6 couples; everyone had their private room and bathroom. The home is absolutely beautiful and clean. Our concierge Geralyn was awesome, she set up all of our tours for us and was super helpful. Chef Mario made our trip so special with all of his delicious meals!! My wife has Celiac and Mario went out of his way to make sure her meals were gluten free. Mario surprised me with a cake for my birthday. You will love this home and Chef Mario!!

We were a group of 10 (5 couples) staying at Villa Pelicano. We were all in awe when we first walked in to this amazing house. The views are nothing short of spectacular. We were visited daily by the Macaws and almost daily by monkeys. The hill in front of the house to the entrance gate is a bit challenging but manageable. I can't say enough good things about Chef Mario. He prepared the most delicious meals for us and it was obvious he loves what he does and cooks with a lot of passion. We all agreed Chef Mario was our favorite part of our stay. Geralyn was always able to assist with any of our questions, requests, and recommendations for the area. If I could make suggestions to the property owners, it would be to add air conditioning to the gathering area/kitchen and to install an ice maker. Either way, this is a beautiful property. We will definitely be back. Pura Vida!

We came to Villa Pelicanos as a family of 21 to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. As a family that has traveled the world together, this was hands down the nicest, best run villa we have rented. From the moment we arrived until we had to sadly say goodbye, it was extraordinary. Mario, the chef, is THE BEST! His food was delicious and he was completely accommodating of any dietary needs we had. But more than that, he is fun and made our Costa Rica cuisine experience memorable and beautiful. From his amazing empanadas to his daily presentation of fruit, we were awed. The view is second to none. The wildlife breathtaking....each morning and evening a pair of macaws flew around, the iguanas were fascinating, howler monkeys and a sloth in the tree that was too camoflauged for us to find, but a highlight for sure to be surrounded by wildlife like that. Geralynn is also a standout helping us plan our excursions, coordinating any help we needed with transportation and any needed information for getting along in town, at the grocery or with needs at the house. She is super responsive and helped make our visit a fabulous adventure. We loved this home and would come back in a heartbeat. The location proximity to beautiful beaches, as well as Manuel Antonio National Park and the jungle is perfection, You can not pick a better spot to spend your time in Costa Rica.

What a beautiful location, everything was perfect. We were all completely surprised at the wildlife that lived by and around the home. We saw so many different species, and close up. It was fabulous. We hope to come back one day. A True Gem!
